Find your receipt from the order. Call the company’s customer service hotline. Look for the customer service number using an online tool, like GetHuman. Dial the number from a touch-tone phone. Follow the prompts to reach a customer service representative. Listen for instructions about whether the order can be cancelled. Ask for a confirmation code if your cancellation is accepted. Watch your credit card or bank account to see signs of the funds being returned.

If you're being charged by a lion, you'll be extremely frightened.  Do everything you can not to panic. Staying calm and thinking straight can help save your life. Knowing what to expect can help you stay calm. For example, know that the lion is going to growl while they charge. This can shake the ground beneath you but know this is normal for a lion attack. Stand your ground. You need to take charge of the situation and show the lion that you're a threat. Turn so that you're side-on-side with the lion while clapping your hands, shouting, and waving your arms. This will make you appear bigger and more threatening to the lion. Lion behaviors differ from region to region. The biggest tourist attractions have lions that are more habituated to vehicles and therefore less afraid of humans. However, many lions with early encounters of humans will perform mock charges. Making yourself appear threatening will make them turn away. Do not turn your back. Keep flailing your arms and showing, but slowly step away sideways. If you run, the lion may sense your fear and chase after you. Remain threatening to the lion while you retreat. Avoid retreating to a thicket (such as a forest). Instead, retreat to an open area. The lion may charge you again while you're trying to retreat. If this happens, shout as loudly as possible and raise your hands again. Truly yell from the depths of your stomach. This time, when it turns away, stop the aggression. Turn sideways and walk away. This can help avoid a fight.

TL;DR in English: Do not panic. Do not run. Retreat slowly. Be prepared again.

If you made the order by phone, you may have written down a confirmation code in place of the receipt. Find it on the receipt or on the “Contact Us” section of their website. They list all major retailers and provide numbers for them. You can also use their calling service to call the company. Use the numbers or the voice menus to go to the order cancellation section, or simply the order section of the menu. Tell them your confirmation code and any other pertinent information. If the prompts don’t lead you to an order information section, dial zero to be put on the line with an operator or customer service representative more quickly. If the order has already shipped, the customer service rep will tell you to refuse the package at the door or to return it using their returns process. Write it somewhere where you will remember to look later. If they don’t return your purchase price within one month, contact the customer service number with your confirmation code to insist on a refund.

Find a rectangular cardboard box that you or a child can sit inside. Tape the bottom of the cardboard box closed. Close the top of the box but leave out 1 of the short flaps. Measure and mark the long sides of the box into thirds. Use a box cutter to cut the sides of the box’s top to create a flap. Fold the top flap in half and tape it together. Do the same with the back flap. Paint the outside of the box if you want. Cut or draw doors on the box’s sides. Add windshields and windows to your car. Put wheels on your car with hook-and-loop fasteners or glue. Complete your car by adding lights, a license plate, and a grill.

While the above conversions took quite a few steps, it is important to recognize that the act of converting from one coordinate system to another is where the "difficult" part is. When dealing with complex numbers purely in polar, the operations of multiplication, division, and even exponentiation (cf. De Moivres' formula) are very easy to do. 3+338+3−338i{\displaystyle {\frac {3+3{\sqrt {3}}}{8}}+{\frac {3-3{\sqrt {3}}}{8}}i}

TL;DR in English: Write out the complex number in standard form.

Before you select a box to use, make sure the person you’re making the car for can fit inside it. If you’re making a car for a toddler or a small child, most large moving boxes will be sufficient. You can find large cardboard boxes for purchase at most home improvement stores. It’s best to use clear packing tape, but masking tape will also work. Use enough tape to cross the box’s bottom lengthwise 2 or 3 times. Fold 1 of the short flaps inside the box and leave the other 1 outside the box. Then, tape the 2 long flaps together to close the top of the box. The short flap that you leave outside of the box will be back of the car. Use a yardstick to measure the length of your box and divide that length into thirds. Then, use a pencil to draw 3 equally-sized sections on each of the box’s 2 long sides. The middle section will be where you’ll put the car’s doors. Starting from the back of your box, cut 1 side of the box’s top to separate it from the box’s side. Stop cutting when you reach the front third of the box. Then, make the same cut on the other side of the box.  By the end of this step, the back two-thirds the top should be separated from the sides of the box. Have an adult help you make the cuts with a box cutter. Measure the height of the flap and mark its center with a horizontal line so you can get an even fold. Fold the top flap inward so that the inside crease is facing the inside of the box. Tape the 2 halves of the top flap together horizontally with packing tape. Fold the back flap in half just like you did with the top half. Secure the 2 halves together by wrapping packing tape around them horizontally. You can either paint your car red, blue, black, or another color, or leave the exterior as is. Use acrylic paints and a paint brush or spray paint. Cover the box’s entire surface in an even coat of paint. Allow the coat of paint to dry, and add additional paint for a deeper color.  Place the cardboard box on spread-out newspapers or a large sheet of cardboard so you don’t accidentally get paint on...

Meteorites are solid pieces of rock that are usually densely packed with metal. If the rock you’ve found looks like a meteorite, compare it to other rocks to ensure it’s relatively heavy, then calculate its density to determine if it’s a meteorite. You can calculate the density of the potential meteorite by dividing its weight by its volume. If a rock has a calculated density higher than 3 units, it is much more likely to be a meteorite. Nearly all meteorites are at least somewhat magnetic, even if only weakly. This is due to the high concentration in most meteorites of iron and nickel, which are magnetic. If a magnet is not attracted to your rock, it’s almost certainly not a meteorite.  Because many terrestrial rocks are also magnetic, the magnet test will not definitively prove your rock is a meteorite. However, failing to pass the magnet test is a very strong indication that your rock is probably not a meteorite. An iron meteorite will be much more magnetic than a stone meteorite and many will be strong enough to interfere with a compass held close to it. A streak test is a good way to test your rock to rule out terrestrial materials. Scrape your rock against the unglazed side of a ceramic tile; if it leaves any streak other than a weak grayish one, it is not a meteorite.  For an unglazed ceramic tile, you can use the unfinished bottom of a bathroom or kitchen tile, the unglazed bottom of a ceramic coffee mug, or the inside of a toilet tank cover.  Hematite and magnetite rocks are commonly mistaken for meteorites. Hematite rocks leave a red streak, while magnetite rocks leave a dark gray streak, indicating that they are not meteorites.  Keep in mind that many terrestrial rocks also do not leave streaks; thus, while the streak test can rule out hematite and magnetite, it will not definitively prove your rock is a meteorite on its own. Most meteorites contain metal that is visibly shiny under the surface of the fusion crust. Use a diamond file to file a corner of the rock and check the interior for telltale...

TL;DR in English: Calculate the rock’s density if it feels heavier than normal. Use a magnet to see whether the rock is magnetic. Scratch the rock against unglazed ceramic to see if it leaves a streak. File the surface of the rock and look for shiny metal flakes. Inspect the inside of the rock for small balls of stony material.

iPhone 4S and more recent are equipped with Bluetooth technology; if you have an iPhone 4 (or older), it may not work. Likewise, attempting to use an old model of Bluetooth speaker with a newer iPhone (such as 6S or 7) may cause synchronization issues. If your iPhone isn't updated to the latest version of iOS, you may run into Bluetooth issues on newer Bluetooth speakers. You may have turned on the speaker too late while your iPhone searched for available devices, or there might just be a bug in how they are working. Try restarting the speaker to see if this helps. Doing so may reset your phone's Bluetooth settings and make it possible to connect again. To restart your phone:  Press and hold the Power button on the side (or top) of your iPhone until slide to power down appears. Slide the power icon at the top of the screen right. Wait for a minute, then press and hold the power button until the Apple icon displays. If all else fails, bringing your iPhone and Bluetooth speaker into the store from which you purchased the speaker to have staff members look at it might fix your problem. If you bought your speaker online, you can usually still bring it into a retail store like Best Buy to have them take a look at it.

TL;DR in English: Make sure your iPhone isn't too old. Make sure your iPhone is updated. Restart the Bluetooth speaker. Restart your iPhone. Take the speaker back to the store for testing.

So much of today's society is based on grab-and-go convenience. Unfortunately, these items are all ultimately trash. Throughout your day, make an effort to only use items you can use again.  Switch to cloth paper towels and diapers. Use your own silverware, plates, and cups -- never go plastic to avoid washing. Don't buy bottled water. Carry around your own water bottle to stay hydrated. Bring eco-friendly bags to the grocery store. What do you do with those paper or plastic bags when you go shopping? You either end up throwing them out or stockpiling until you have an entire cupboard full of bags you'll probably never use. Cars are a huge culprit when it comes to pollution and, put more formidably, destroying the ozone. Who wants to get stuck in traffic anyway?  Less fuel consumption affects oil digging across the world -- a finite resource (that is just getting more and more expensive thanks to demand). Another important consideration in using less fuel is in the amount of toxic gases being released into the air as the fuel is burned to make the engine run.And it saves you money, too.  A bicycle is even better. You know why? You spend zero money on gas, you emit zero toxins into the environment, and you burn way more than zero calories while riding. Win. Win. Win. Alright, hybrids are expensive. And bicycles don't go fast enough. What's the next best alternative? Car pooling. And the more people who do it, the better for the environment (and traffic). As if being greener weren't enough, you'll now get to be one of those people that uses the carpool lane honestly. Because let's be honest: Everyone hates the guy driving down it alone. Nowadays, everything is available online. Whether it's your bills, junk, or the newspaper, get out of it. Instead of resenting the pile you're accumulating, you'll get excited when special mail does come.  For all your statements, go green.

Combine the first four ingredients together in a heavy saucepan. Whisk the ingredients. Gradually add the milk and half and half to the mixture. Serve.

Make a hole in the middle of the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon and then add the egg. Break the yolk. Do not overbeat, as this would develop the gluten in the flour and prevent the pancakes from rising. Drop large dollops on a lightly-greased, hot griddle or heavy frying-pan. Be sure to flip over and cook a few minutes on each side. If you're making a large batch, place the pancakes on an oven-safe plate, and put it in the oven. Add the pancakes to the plate as they finish cooking. Butter, syrup, fresh strawberries or blueberries, whipped cream; the sky is the limit!

Your feet should be shoulder width apart and you need to bring your chest forward. Good posture will allow the air to move easily from your lungs through your mouth. Your voice will have a better sound and seem more energetic because you have good air flow. Avoid locking your knees or tightening your shoulders. Try to keep your body loose and relaxed as you sing. Stand in front of a mirror and sing a few lines while you pay attention to how much you open your mouth. Then open your mouth and place the tips of your index and middle fingers in it. Your mouth should be open much wider. Remove your fingers and bring your tongue towards the front of your mouth so the tip is near your bottom teeth. Practice singing with your tongue forward and mouth open. You should notice a better sound because there's more space in your mouth for the sound to resonate. Pay attention to how other singers breathe, hold themselves, and move their voices. You may learn little tricks such as tucking your chin on high notes or bringing your chest up to maintain energy. It's important to remember not to push your voice out of its comfort range or you could damage it. Instead, work on improving your tone and breathing so the quality of your voice improves. Keep your shoulders in place and breathe deeply from your stomach instead of your chest. Comfortably release the air as you sing. Don't push it out forcefully or wait until you feel like you're going to run out of air before breathing again. Develop a comfortable breathing pattern as you sing. Keep in mind that you don't need to tank up on air before trying to hit a high note. You can sing high notes with proper breath so you don't strain your voice. The exercises that stress vowels and the scales that use consonants will help you bring out the words you sing. When you focus on delivering the words, the sound of your voice will improve and become clearer. When you practice a song, determine which words you want to really emphasize. This might mean that you take a breath before singing...

TL;DR in English: Stand tall with your shoulders back and feet apart. Open your mouth wide and move your tongue forward. Study other singers, but sing within a range that's comfortable for you. Breathe from your diaphragm to improve your sound. Enunciate your words so your voice sounds clear.

Stressful situations, such as when someone is angry with us, can provoke a “fight-or-flight” response that speeds up our heart rate, makes your breathing rapid and shallow, and sends stress hormones surging through your body. Counteract this response with deep breathing to help you remain calm. Remember: two angry people make a tense situation twice as bad.  Inhale for a count of 4. You should feel your lungs and abdomen expand as you inhale.  Hold for 2 seconds, then slowly release your breath for a count of 4. As you exhale, focus on relaxing the muscles in your face, neck, and shoulders. Reacting calmly to the angry person will help defuse a tense situation. Responding with anger of your own will only escalate the situation and will usually make things worse. Going for a walk, meditating, and counting backwards from 50 are all ways you can  calm yourself down. It can be very difficult to disengage personal feelings from a confrontation with an angry person. Remember that anger is often a sign that the other person has not learned to respond in a healthy, assertive way to situations s/he experiences as threatening. Studies have shown that when people remind themselves that they are not responsible for another person’s anger, they are less likely to feel upset by it.  Anger escalates because of several factors: insecurity, lack of choices, disrespectful behavior, or aggressive or passive responses to a problem. People feel insecure when there is a degree of unpredictability in a situation. When a basic degree of order and security are threatened, people may react in anger. People may respond with hostility when they feel choices are limited. This stems from a sense of powerlessness from having little to no options in a situation. When people feel they are being disrespected, they may react in anger. For example, if you speak to someone in an angry tone or are not respectful of someone's time, s/he may become angry with you. People may become angry to make themselves feel better. If someone is angry, consider...

TL;DR in English: Take a  deep breath. Monitor your emotions. Avoid taking it personally. Remain calm. Watch out for disintegrating communication.

You'll find it in the Start menu (Windows) or in the Applications folder (macOS). The app will open to a screen that allows you to create or open a workbook. Let's say we're making a list of items in our home. In addition to listing what the item is, we might want to record which room it's in and its make/model. We'll reserve row 1 for column headers so our data is clearly labeled. .  Click cell A1 and type Item. We'll list each item in this column. Click cell B1 and type Location. This is where we'll enter which room the item is in. Click cell C1 and type Make/Model. We'll list the item's model and manufacturer in this column. Now that our columns are labeled, entering our data into the rows should be simple. Each item should get its own row, and each bit of information should get its own cell.  For example, if you're listening the Apple HD monitor in your office, you may type HD monitor into A2 (in the Item column), Office into B2 (in the Location column), and Apple Cinema 30-inch M9179LL into B3 (the Make/Model column). List additional items on the rows below. If you need to delete a cell, just click it once and press Del. To remove an entire row or column, right-click the letter or number and select Delete. You've probably noticed that if you type too much text in a cell it'll overlap into the next column. You can fix this by resizing the columns to fit the text. Position the cursor on the line between the column letters (above row 1) so the cursor turns into two arrows, and then double-click that line.

Return to clean the supply registers that you covered in paper towels not too long ago. Remove and toss away the paper towels. Lift the register. The fan will be pushing out dust. Use a vacuum hose to catch that dust before it starts to dirty up the room. Then, use the stiff-bristle paintbrush to scrub off any caked on dust. Now you're getting somewhere. Now, turn from one register to another register. The air return registers will probably be fastened, so use a screwdriver or the appropriate tool to undo them. Use a broom to sweep out the dust. Get as far back in there as possible. Then, use that same stiff-bristle brush to remove any dust buildup. Fasten the registers again when you're done. Go back to your thermostat and turn off the fan. Then, head on over to your service switch or breaker panel. Take a good look at the panel and find the switch for the furnace. Shut off the power to the furnace. Make sure that you don't turn off the thermostat. Take off the panels on the front of the furnace. This will give you access to the blower department. Use the vacuum hose to clean out the dust that has built up in the blower department and return air boot. This is where most of the dust builds up, so once you've done this, you've done the bulk of the job! If you have time, go ahead and clean the furnace fan while you're there. You may have to run out to get a new filter. A newer, better filter will definitely be worth it in the long run though. The air will be cleaner in your home with a new filter because there will be less dust, which means less worrying for you.  Keep in mind that good filters will have to be changed more often. How often you need change your filter also depends on the type of house you have, your pets, and where you live.

If you can, try to dress like you “belong” at the haunted house. Wear dark jeans, a black T-shirt or jacket, and comfortable shoes. This might seem like a strange strategy, but wearing dark clothes makes you seem like  less of a haunted house newbie, which might discourage actors from targeting you. Dressing in black will also make it harder for the actors to notice you in the dark house. Haunted house actors tend to go for the people who are shrieking, laughing, running, or otherwise showing that they're freaked out! To avoid being targeted, try to stay as calm and in-control as you can and avoid singling yourself out.  If you get scared, tamp down on your reactions as much as you can. Instead of lurching back or yelling, try to just jump slightly and gasp. Take deep breaths and move slowly through the haunted house to stay in control of your reactions. You're in a haunted house, so you can safely assume that you'll be face-to-face with a scare every time you turn a corner. The shock of this can be more scary than anything, so try prepare yourself ahead of time. Tell yourself calmly that something might jump out at you around this, but that you're ready for it, so you won't get scared. When something does pop out, diffuse the tension and lighten your mood by thinking something like, “Wow, big surprise!” Staying relaxed and acting unaffected in a haunted house might be hard, but it's a great way to show actors that you're not afraid. While some actors might take this as a challenge, most try to go for the people who seem like the easiest to scare, instead of the ones looking them in the eye. Taking a position at the front gives the impression that you're not afraid of what's coming up next. The actors at haunted houses know that easily-scared people tend to stay in the middle or back of a group, so they'll often target that area, leaving the people in the front alone. You might even be able to tiptoe past before the actors even notice you.

TL;DR in English: Dress in all black so you don't stand out as much to actors. Avoid screaming or laughing, which will make actors want to scare you. Expect a scare around every corner so they don't catch you off-guard. Make eye contact with the actors and stand up straight to show that you're not afraid. Stand at the front to show that you're not the most scared in your group.

Gather all of the material of one leg of your tights between the thumb and forefinger of each hand, all the way to the toe. Then slip your foot inside and pull the tights up the rest of your leg, releasing the gathered fabric in one gentle motion rather than pulling and yanking it in stages. Ensure that when you pull on a skirt or dress that no zippers or other fastenings catch on the material of your tights. Examine your fingernails and toenails before pulling on tights. If you have any that are too long with jagged or sharp edges, cut or file them down to a smooth curve. Moisturize your legs and feet to prevent cracked or peeling skin from catching on tights.  Focus on your heels when you moisturize, as they can commonly develop more cracks and rough callouses. You may even want to exfoliate with a pumice stone or scrub if you have very rough skin on your feet. You can also moisturize your hands right before putting tights on to keep rough surfaces and hangnails from catching as you’re pulling and manipulating the tights with your fingers. Put on rings, bracelets, or watches only after you’re done pulling on and adjusting hosiery, as these can easily catch on the material.  Remember to remove your jewelry again before taking off the tights at the end of the day or night.  Toe rings can also easily catch on tights when slipping your foot into them. Remove toe rings if you plan to wear tights. They won’t show in closed shoes anyway. While wearing your tights out, avoid surfaces or other objects with rough, sharp, or uneven textures, as they can catch on your tights if you come in contact with them.  For example, a concrete or wood bench or step could harm your tights when you sit down on it. Try to pull clothing over tights, place something between your tights and the surface, or choose a different seat altogether. Hardware and sharp embellishments on your own shoes can also ruin your tights while you’re walking or crossing your legs, so opt for smooth footwear before you go out.

TL;DR in English: Pull tights on carefully. Keep fingernails and skin smooth. Wait to put on jewelry. Be mindful of what you sit on or lean up against.

Use a clean and sanitized siphon tube to siphon the wine into clean and sanitized wine bottles. Make sure you work in an easy-to-clean spot as bottling wine can become messy. Remember, if you want to avoid contaminating your wine with mouth bacteria, use a suction bulb to siphon the wine. Each brand of corker is different. Therefore, follow the manufacturer instructions to cork bottles. Make sure you have enough corks for every bottle of wine. If corker has trouble moving, use WD-40 to lubricate moving parts. However, don’t use WD-40 on any parts that will touch the wine or the cork. Use a label maker or paper and tape to create an interesting label for your wine. Include the ingredients and the date of bottling. This will help you determine when your wine is ready to open. Go into detail when listing ingredients. If you like the wine or want to change it, you will instantly know what recipe you used. It’s hard to resist opening a bottle of homemade wine. However, the flavor of this wine is best after two or three years. If you simply can’t wait, the wine is safe to drink at any time, even though the flavor may not be as good. Create a new batch of wine every season to ensure that you have a steady supply of muscadine wine each year.

TL;DR in English: Siphon the wine into clean wine bottles. Use a corker to seal the bottles. Label the bottles with the date and ingredients. Let the wine ferment for two to three years.

Poor posture causes shallow breathing which harms your voice projection. You should also avoid slumping shoulders and slouching as these cause your words to be pointed towards the floor rather than your audience.  Stand straight with your chin up and shoulders back to project your voice out to the audience. Sitting can make voice projection more difficult, so proper posture is critical. Make sure to sit towards the front edge of your chair with your back as straight and elongated as possible. Pretend there is a string at the top of your head holding it up and straight. Some people think of projecting their voice as pushing to make it louder, but that only causes strain to your vocal cords, exacerbating the problem. Instead, you want to make your voice larger. When pushing your voice to project, you'll feel strain in your throat as you do after yelling. When making your voice bigger, you'll feel your chest doing the work. Imagine that your throat and mouth are huge, as big as the room you're speaking in. This will help the muscles inside your throat pull away and relax as they do when you yawn, so a bigger voice can emerge. Never cover your mouth when you speak- any object between your mouth and the person you talk to will obstruct your voice even more. It's also helpful to avoid fillers such as “um” or “uh” as these tend to make your voice trail off instead of project outward. Studying yourself while you speak will help you identify any possible pitfalls you may be succumbing to. Watch to see if you bring your hand up to cover your mouth, or if you start to slouch and look at the ground. Being able to see pitfalls in real time helps you learn to quickly fix them. Like the mirror trick, recording yourself to play back later will help you hear whether you're on the right track, or if you're pushing your voice instead of making it bigger. If you're pushing, your voice tends to sound strained and a bit higher in pitch than normal. Making your voice bigger should result in a slightly deeper and broader sound when...

TL;DR in English: Improve your posture. Make your voice bigger. Avoid nervous habits. Talk to the mirror. Record yourself speaking.

Develop a system that works for you to consistently rotate your injection sites. Continue to move around your body using new sites for each injection. Using a clockwise strategy is helpful for many people to help rotate their injection sites. Use a chart or drawing of your body areas to identify the sites you just used or are planning to use. Your diabetic healthcare provider or doctor can help you develop a system to rotate your injection sites.  Inject into your abdomen, two inches away from your navel and not too far towards your sides. Looking into a mirror, begin on the upper left of the injection area, move next to the upper right area, then lower right, then lower left.  Move to your thighs. Begin closest to your upper body, then move the next injection site further down.  In your buttocks, start with your left side and closer to your side, then move towards your midline, then to the right side and towards the midline, then to the areas closer to your right side.  If your arms are appropriate according to your doctor or healthcare provider, move systematically either up or down with injection sites in those areas. Keep track of the sites as you use them in a systematic manner. One way to help minimize the pain upon injection is to avoid injections at hair roots.  Use needles with shorter lengths and smaller diameters. Shorter needles help to minimize the pain and are appropriate for most people.  Acceptable shorter needle lengths include those that are either 4.5 mm, 5 mm, or 6 mm in length. Some injection sites or needle lengths work best if you gently pinch the skin to create skin folds.  Use only the thumb and index finger to lift the skin. Using more of your hand causes muscle tissue to be lifted and increases the risk of injecting your insulin into muscle tissue.  Do not squeeze the skin fold. Gently hold the skin in place to give the injection. Squeezing tightly can cause more pain and possibly interfere with the dose delivery. Shorter needles are appropriate for most patients, can be easier to...

Discard the liver membranes if they haven't already been removed. Slice the livers into 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) thick slices.  into thin 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) slices. Combine the flour, black salt, and pepper. Dredge the liver slices in the flour.

Whether you've been married for two years or twenty years, it can easily feel like you and your partner have fallen into a rut. Routines form because they are convenient and they make it easier to navigate your day-to-day life, but falling into ruts and routines in your relationship can slowly kill the romance without you even realizing it.  If you usually eat in most nights, try going out for a date night. If you typically make your own separate meals, try cooking a meal for your partner and eating together. Do something exciting together that you and your spouse wouldn't normally do. It doesn't have to be anything crazy, but it should push you both to have fun and get excited together. Take a romantic vacation together, or just plan a fun and exciting day together - even if it just means going to a carnival or an amusement park. When you and your spouse were dating, you probably flirted with one another all the time. So why did you stop? Most couples get comfortable with one another, which is obviously a good thing. But the downside of getting comfortable is forgetting how to turn on the charm, often because you haven't had to in several months (or even years).  Make eye contact. Smile at your partner and act giggly. Use romantic body language, and mimic your partner's body language.  Stand facing one another, avoid crossing your arms, and lean in towards one another when you speak. Physical contact is an important component of intimacy. Physical contact makes you feel desired, and it can make you feel comfortable and closer with your partner. If you're already very intimate and have a lot of physical contact, then keep doing it. If you've lost that part of your relationship, make an effort to bring it back.  Physical contact doesn't just mean sex (although many people do consider sex a healthy part of marriage). It can mean holding hands, snuggling, embracing, kissing, or any other kind of affectionate contact. Your partner probably wants physical contact as much as you do, but may be too shy or worried...

TL;DR in English: Change up your routine. Flirt with one another. Increase your physical contact. Make time for intimacy. Convey your sexual preferences. Consider seeing a couple's therapist.

Let the conversation continue as if you were already part of it. Just because you joined the conversation doesn't mean you need to dominate it. After joining, go back into listening mode for a little while. This will help you get a sense of the people in the conversation as well as set you up as a respectful person. When ready, it is often best to start with a small comment and judge the reaction before continuing.  ”That's amazing!” ”What, really?!” ”I can't believe it, that's crazy!” After successfully joining in on a conversation, you'll need to decide on whether or not to stay in the conversation. Reading the body language of the group can be particularly helpful in determining whether your presence there is welcomed by the group.   Glances. Making eye contact is great conversational practice anyway, so watch their faces and notice how they are looking at one another. If they are glancing at each other with odd or confused facial expressions, it may be time to make a graceful exit. Feet position. Take a quick glance at where everyone's toes are pointed. If someone has their feet pointed in your direction, they are open, engaged, and interested if what you have to say.  Change in body language. Look to see how their body language changes after you enter into the conversation. Are they remaining open, or opening more (e.g.- uncrossing their arms, moving in closer, etc.) or are they closing up (e.g.- crossing arms, leaning away, etc.)? Until you hit upon a topic that you can comment on or are interested in discussing further, ask questions. If nothing naturally pops up ask standard “getting-to-know-you” questions. Be careful not to stay in small talk too long as it can become tedious for everyone involved. Instead use those questions to search for a more interesting subject to transition to.   What do you do for work?/What are you studying in school? Are you from this area? Have you been able to travel this summer? Have you seen any interesting movies lately?

Use your fingers to peel the thin, outer membrane off each liver. The membranes will come away easily. Try not to tear the liver as you remove the membranes. Liver is usually sold with the membranes already removed. Place 1 1/2 lb (680 g) of beef or chicken livers on a chopping board. Use a very sharp knife to slice the livers into strips. Be very careful when you use a knife to cut the liver thinly. Always make sure that you are using a sharp knife, as this is both safest and will make the best cuts. cm) slices. Place the onions on a chopping board and use a sharp knife to cut the ends off. Slice each onion in half and peel the skin off. Place the flat surface of each onion on the chopping board and carefully slice each half thinly. Pour ½ cup (64 g) of flour, 1 tsp (2.3 g) of freshly ground black pepper, and ½ tsp (2.5 g) of salt into a bowl. Use a fork to mix the ingredients thoroughly. Season the flour with more or less black pepper and salt depending on what you prefer. Place each slice of liver into the bowl with the flour, black pepper, and salt. Turn each slice over in the bowl to make sure that all of the sides are coated with the seasoned flour. Gently shake each slice of liver as you take it out from the bowl to remove the excess. A light flour coating is all that is necessary.

Eating excessive sweets and fatty foods increases your risk for pre-diabetes and Type 2 diabetes development. You can reverse high-normal blood sugar (pre-diabetes) and reduce your risk for Type 2 Diabetes by reducing unhealthy foods, watching your portions, and eating a balanced diet. Aim for seven to nine daily servings of fruit and vegetables. Frozen and dried fruits and vegetables offer some health benefits, but fresh, in-season produce always packs the most nutritional power. Try to reduce your intake of canned vegetables because they have higher salt content. Deeper colors often mean more nutrients, so it is best to eat a variety of different fruits and vegetables that offer an array of bright colors.  Some produce to focus on includes:  Dark green veggies like broccoli, spinach, kale, and Brussels sprouts Orange veggies like carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and winter squash Red fruits and vegetables like strawberries, raspberries, beets, and radishes Yellow foods such as squash, mango, and pineapple Skip the pastries, cakes, fries, and other processed carbohydrates. Fill up instead on carbohydrates that are healthy, including fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, and fresh breads. Look for choices with high fiber content; fiber has been shown to lower blood sugar by acting as a "mop" slowing down the digestive process and the speed with which glucose enters the bloodstream.  Eat legumes such as black beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, split peas, lentils. Select whole grains, whole grain rice, breakfast cereals with 100 percent whole grain content, and whole grain pasta. Choose whole-wheat bread products such as bagels, pita bread, and tortillas. One of the leading sources of empty calories and excess sugar is drinking sugar-laden beverages such as sodas and “juice drinks” with limited juice content.

Buy your pig from a farm supplier or butcher. If possible, have the butcher "dress" the pig and remove the organs and troublesome accessory tissues before taking it home. The pig’s internal cavity should be totally empty to better conduct heat, or to allow you to stuff it should you so desire. You may be able to save a few bucks dressing it yourself, but it will add greatly to your workload.  Pigs come in different weights and sizes. Obviously, the larger the pig, the longer it will take to cook. If you don’t have all day to spend slow roasting, or aren’t feeding as many people, think about buying a small suckling pig. Ask your butcher about the means to transport the pig home. They will often be able to supply zip-up bags that will keep juices from getting all over your car and prevent the meat from being exposed to the open air. If you’ve bought a whole frozen pig, it will need to be thawed before it can be cooked. To thaw a frozen pig carcass, submerge it in a light ice bath and allow it to warm gradually as the ice melts. This can take several days if the pig is large enough. Pig carcasses are often covered in dirt, feces and bacteria, so it will be necessary to clean the pig before cooking it. Wipe down the pig’s extremities and any incisions or openings made by the butcher with a cold, wet towel. If you’re working outside, spraying the pig off with a hose can cut down on your prep time. Sprinkle the carcass liberally with coarse salt and massage it into the skin. Do the same for the inner cavity.  The pig will need a good wiping down even if it has already been cleaned by the butcher shop where you bought it. Salt not only works as a seasoning but has antimicrobial properties which can kill lingering germs. At this point, you can season the pig further, if you wish. Additional spices such as black pepper, cayenne, turmeric, paprika or seasoned salt can be rubbed into the skin, or you might inject a strong marinade or brine underneath the skin using a meat injector. This will impart extra flavor to the...

There are a variety of unpowered, handheld engraving tools you can use. To make detailed pictures, such as you might see in a 19th-century book, select two or three tools for different effects. Here are three common types of traditional, handheld engraving tools:   Spitstickers are used to carve fluid lines.  Gravers produce lines that swell or shrink as you cut, depending on changes in the tool's angle.  Scorpers, with round or square tips, gouge out large areas of the wood to produce white space in the printed image. This tool is probably not necessary if you are not printing. Take a bottle of black pen ink, and use a brush or a cloth to barely cover a flat, wooden block. This will make the areas you've already cut stand out, so it's important not to use so much ink that it soaks down below the surface. Let the ink dry completely. Once it has, check whether there is a rough "nap" to the wood. If there is, remove it by burnishing firmly with a paper towel. A small, leather sandbag makes an excellent support for the wood, providing a firm backing regardless of the direction you push. Clamping the wood to a table is not recommended, since you'll need to move the block around as you engrave. Hold the tool as you would a computer mouse, with your hand lightly cupped around the handle. Press against one side of the metal stem with your index finger, and press the other side with your thumb. Let the heel of the handle rest in your cupped palm; when engraving, you'll push against the heel to provide pressure. Press the tool into the wood at a shallow angle to engrave. Use your other hand to turn the wooden block slowly as you push forward with the tool. Cut no more than 1 centimeter (less than ½ inch) at a time before adjusting the position of your hand. It will likely take some practice before you can cut smoothly.  If the tool quickly embeds itself and halt, the angle is probably too steep.  "Graver" tools can be gradually moved to a steeper or shallower angle to widen or narrow the line drawn. This can take some...

TL;DR in English: Select engraving tools. Apply a thin layer of ink over the wood. Check that the surface is prepared. Support the wood (optional). Hold the engraving tools. Engrave the wood. Experiment with your approach. Add ink to the woodcut. Transfer your design onto paper. Clean your tools.

To get out of a bad relationship, the first step is to recognize that you’re in one. It’s easy to ignore the signs and keep living your daily life in a failing relationship, but no one should suffer like that. Everyone deserves to be happy.  Write down the warning signs you feel are happening in your relationship. Review the list to get a clear picture of what is truly happening. Talk to a close friend or family member about your concerns to hear someone else’s view. Know that you have the power to make a change and to get out of the relationship. Ask a trusted friend or family member if you can spend some time with them after you cut ties in the relationship. Having someone close to you provide support will help you feel better about your decision. If your relationship has had a history of abuse, it is important to let someone know your plans to help provide you with safety following the break up. You should also develop a safety plan for when you leave the relationship. This should include getting support from loved ones and domestic violence professionals, anticipating a change of heart and resisting the urge to stay, and having your things ready to go. To be able to succeed at ending a bad relationship, you need to have a plan in place. Creating a plan of action can help you hold yourself accountable to follow through. The most successful plan is one with specific implementation intentions, or if/then statements.  ”If I start to miss my ex, then I will call a friend to go hang out.” ”If I begin to regret my decision, then I will write out a list of the reasons I left.” ”If I become depressed over the break-up, then I will seek out help.”

TL;DR in English: Admit you're in a bad relationship. Arrange a place to go after the break up. Create a plan of action.

If you've got too much stuff already, do a declutter. Simply remove as much as possible from your life, including excess clothing, furniture, electronics, and other possessions that aren't critical to your life. If you're forced to downsize due to a job loss or because you're moving, try to see this as a great opportunity to rid yourself of anything weighs you down. If you don't have any stuff, then you're ready to skip this step and move to the next one.   See what you can sell rather than throwing it away. If you don't have the time or fortitude to sell it online, try an auction house. An easier way to sell online than listing individual items is to bulk sell – while you'll get less than if you took the time to sell items individually, you will at least recoup a decent amount for your unwanted possessions. Take all items you no longer want to your local item collection charity. Consider, for example, cutting some services or changing carriers. You'd be amazed at what you can live without once you don't have it anymore. Contact other available carriers in your area for a cell phone quote and select the cheapest one (if it is less than your current plan).  This may include choosing a cheaper data plan and lowering data usage by turning off automatic app updates and other services. If you need to, consider downgrading your phone if you are finding it difficult to keep up with payments on a top-of-the-line smartphone. In many cases, people are paying for channels or services that they don't use. Save money by switching back to a basic package or cutting cable entirely in favor of online streaming services like Netflix. If you want to make the change but fear you'll miss big programs like sporting events, consider watching these events at friends' houses or restaurants instead. You'll save money and get to enjoy the company of your friends at the same time. If you live in a city, there is plenty of public transportation available to get you to your destination and it's cheaper to take the occasional taxi for...

To achieve tight ringlets, you will need to set your hair in small sponge rollers. The first row of rollers will go down the center of your head staring at the front of your scalp and ending at the nape of your neck.  Use a comb to section off a vertical segment of hair at the front of your scalp. This first section should be centered on your head. Do not make it longer than the curler itself or thicker than the curler. A section that is too long or too thick will not remain tightly curled. Unclip your first roller. Place the roller behind the section of hair. Slide the roller up the strand from the roots to the tips so that the hair is standing straight up. Tuck the ends under the roller and proceed to twist it down towards your scalp. Continue to section off your hair and set rollers down the center of your head until your reach the nape of your neck. Once you have completed the top section, you can set rollers on the right and left sides of your head. Work from the front to the center back of each side of your head. Section of the hair and set the rollers as you did for the top section—don’t forget to roll away from your head. Everyone’s curls will set at different rates. If you wet set your hair, leave the rollers in overnight and allow your hair to air dry. If you put rollers in your dry hair, you may opt to leave them in for anywhere from 15 minutes (for a slight wave) to 5 hours—your ringlets will become more defined the longer the rollers are left in your hair. After allowing your curls to set, remove the rollers one at a time. Comb your fingers through the ringlets to fluff and separate the curly strands. Finish your do with a spritz of hairspray or a small dollop of pomade. Brushing or combing through your ringlets will cause them to snarl.

Your sparse-looking brows may actually be full of little white baby hairs, and tinting them a darker shade will reveal a bolder, thicker eyebrow.  Tinting lasts between three and five weeks.  Tinting can easily go wrong if the shade is too dark, the chemicals too harsh, or you stain your skin, so make sure you go to a professional with a good reputation. Visit a brow bar or salon for this procedure, where they will glue individual synthetic or natural hairs to your brow hair, creating the (temporary) full brow of your dreams. Unlike eyelash extensions, brow extensions will not damage your existing hair as they fall off, so they won't interrupt your progress if you're growing yours out.  If you don't have eyebrows, the extensions can be glued directly to your skin, but they will only last a few days.  Extensions only last a few weeks at the most, and touching, washing, or exercising can make them fall off even faster. If your eyebrow hair will no longer grow, a plastic surgeon can carefully design a brow that best fits your face and build it using your own hair. The finished look should be natural, with the new hair blending into your brow.  A brow transplant is irreversible, so make sure you are thinking about what looks best on you, not what is most popular right now.  Do some research and find a reputable surgeon who has experience with the procedure. Ask to see before and after pictures from their other clients.

TL;DR in English: Get your brows tinted. Get extensions for special occasions. Talk to a plastic surgeon about a brow transplant.

While she is decompressing go ahead and put the finishing touches on the setup. Light the candles and turn on the music. Wait until she is ready to do any of this. If you do this before she has arrived she may not feel she can de-stress. Furthermore you don't want to leave the candles unattended since they can catch other items on fire. When she is ready for the massage she will likely do this naturally. If she is uncomfortable with taking off her bra for this you may allow her to lie down before unfastening the strap. Let her know that oil may get on her bra if she does not remove it after lying down. Unless you are used to spreading oil on skin, start by applying the oil to your hands. Then rub your hands on her back. If you seem to need more, put more on your hands and repeat. Do this until your hands slide effortlessly up and down her back. Be sure to get her shoulders, neck, and sides. Herein lies much of her stress. Start by cupping your hands over her shoulders. Gently squeeze your hands to put pressure on the muscles in her shoulders. Apply pressure evenly with your fingers as you massage the muscles. Avoid the collar bone and move left and right from neck to arms and back.  One technique is to place your thumb on the back of her shoulder for pressure. While keeping the fingers in the same place, move the thumb across her back and toward her neck with each squeeze. Reposition your fingers and hand periodically to ensure a complete massage. Don't forget the neck and the upper arms. With the neck, simply massage the back and sides gently with your fingertips and thumbs.

Every school has its own set of rules that help students stay safe and learn well. You may need a hall pass to use the bathroom during class, for example. Learning the rules of the school will help you adjust and will keep you out of trouble. When you are starting a new school, you should follow your teachers' instructions very closely. You don’t need to be a brown-noser, but making a good impression with your teachers will go a long way to making a positive adjustment to a new school. Keeping up with your homework and making a solid effort to do well in school will help with your adjustment. You are already under enough stress with adjusting to a new school that you don’t want to add more stress with poor grades. When you move to a new school, your education so far is assessed and you are placed in your grade. Almost all of the time, this will mean that you are placed in the grade you are expecting (for example, if you left your old school in 4th grade and you’re moving over the summer, you’ll start in 5th grade). If you are in high school, meet with a school counselor to make sure you are on track with prerequisites and graduation requirements. When you are adjusting to a new school, you might feel lonely or shy. But every day, there are good things that happen, even if they are minor. Telling your parents about these things can help you realize that you are getting used to your school. Examples include: getting a good score on a test, saying hello to someone new, scoring a goal in PE, and so on.

TL;DR in English:


Prepare the hole you are going to patch. Place a piece of scrap denim on the other side of the hole.

Random branch evergreens like junipers, arborvitae, yews, and hemlocks usually sprout new branches with flat needles during the spring. You can prune them for size once or twice annually, but you should leave behind at least one-third of new growth during each pruning.  The needles on areas of new growth tend to be softer and lighter in color. Leaving some new growth behind is beneficial for the health of the evergreen. As the name indicates, random branch evergreens grow in less naturally-structured shapes than do pines, spruces, or firs. This means you may want to be a bit more aggressive in shaping them to suit your aesthetic preferences.  You can shear random branch evergreens several (e.g., 2-3) times during the spring and summer, if you wish. However, as you shear and prune for shape, make sure to leave behind some of the new growth. Random branch evergreens don’t need to be shaped, and will do just fine if you let them grow naturally. Most random branch evergreens develop an area in the center where there are no needles, due to the lack of sunlight. If you prune back to this “dead zone,” new growth will not occur there and you’ll end up with a bare patch. When pruning for size or shape, work with what you have instead of trying to force your evergreen into a specific look. For instance, try to find the beauty in the “randomness” of your upright juniper!

TL;DR in English: Remove up to two-thirds of new growth to control their size. Prune or shear them for shape in spring and summer. Don’t prune them back to the “dead zone” in the middle.

Integral dye is usually separated into a pre-weighed container intended for a specific amount of concrete (like a cubic yard). To more easily and completely distribute the dye, transfer it from its container to a plain paper bag. Prevent dye from escaping the bag by rolling or folding its top closed.  Pouring dye straight from its container into a mixer can be difficult and result in lost dye. Once in a paper bag, the bag and dye can be tossed into the mixer together because the paper will dissolve in the cement. To limit contamination, avoid using paper bags with any ink. Although unlikely, ink from labels or lettering could slightly alter the color of the integral dye. This is especially important if you'll be adding a large amount of dye to the concrete. Dye can cause concrete to thicken, so you may want to add a little more water to the mixer before putting in the dye. Try to get the consistency of your concrete as perfect as possible before adding the dye. Once you add the dye, avoid adding more water. Adding water can noticeably lighten the concrete's color. Set your concrete mixer to its max speed and toss the dye bag inside. Dye should distribute with concrete in a mixer for about 15 minutes at the max mixing speed or for about 130 revolutions of the mixer.  After your dye is finished mixing, you'll be ready to pour the concrete into your forms. The whole batch of concrete should be dyed one consistent color throughout. When pouring the concrete, keep an eye out for any large pieces of paper bag. Although rare, sometimes pieces of the bag do not dissolve. Simply fish out these pieces and throw them away. Check a weather report before attempting to pour integrally dyed concrete. If water splashes on its surface before it finishes curing, the color may lighten or change. Covering dyed concrete before it fully cures can also significantly alter its final color.

TL;DR in English: Transfer the dye to a plain paper bag. Check the consistency of the concrete. Insert the dye bag into the concrete mixer. Avoid dyeing in rainy weather.

Another easy alternative to sewing in a patch is to get an iron-on patch and use that instead. As always, begin by cutting away excess threads so the hole is clear, before turning your jeans inside out and preparing the patch you are going to iron on to your jeans. Measure the hole with a tape measure and cut the patch to size ensuring that there is a clearance of at least ½ inch around the hole.  You can measure this by eye, but by using a tape measure, you are less likely to get it wrong and end up wasting a patch by cutting it too small. Cutting rounded corners on the patch will help prevent it peeling up. Whether you are adding the patch to the outside or the inside of the jeans, using a scrap of denim on the opposite side to the patch will prevent the patch sticking to the other side of the jeans and potentially sticking the two sides together. This could seal your jeans shut and you might damage them if you then have to tear the leg open again.

For the hash browns, you'll need 3 medium russet potatoes. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin, and grate the potatoes with a box grater so they're shredded.  You can substitute sweet potatoes for the russet potatoes if you prefer. If you prefer, you can leave the skin on the potatoes. You can also use a shredder attachment on your food processor to grate the potatoes. If you want your hash browns to be extra crispy, soak the potatoes in cold water after shredding them to help release some of the starch. Drain them well, and pat dry with paper towel before you cook them, though. Place a large skillet on the stove, and turn the burner to medium-high. Allow the pan to heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until it is hot. For the best results, use a cast-iron skillet to make the hash browns. Once the skillet is hot, add 2 tablespoons (26 g) of coconut oil, ¼ cup (40 g) of finely diced yellow onion, and ⅓ cup (60 g) of finely diced red bell pepper. Allow the mixture to cook for about 1 minute to heat it through.  You can substitute ghee for the coconut oil if you prefer. If you like, you can use a combination of red and yellow bell peppers. After you've cooked the onion and peppers for a minute, add the shredded potatoes to the skillet. Allow the mixture to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown. Be sure to spread the potatoes in an even layer across the skillet so they cook properly. When the hash browns have cooked for several minutes, use a wide spatula to begin flipping the potato mixture over. Work section by section until you've turned all of it over, and allow the hash browns to cook until they are golden brown, which should take approximately 5 to 7 minutes. You may need to flip the potatoes over more than once to cook them properly on both sides. When the hash browns are finished cooking, use the spatula to carefully lift them out of the skillet. Place them on a platter, and serve with your favorite breakfast foods.  The recipes makes 4 to 5 servings of hash browns. Store leftover hash...

TL;DR in English: Peel and grate the potatoes. Heat a large skillet. Add the oil, onions and peppers and saute briefly. Mix in the shredded potatoes and cook them for several minutes. Flip the potatoes over in sections and cook on the other side until golden brown. Transfer the potatoes to a dish and serve.

Anytime you're connecting or disconnecting an effects pedal, you need to cut the power to everything in the chain. While the power cables can and should be plugged in to each separate unit, the units themselves should be switched off. Make sure the amp and each pedal are switched off when you connect them.  There is one exception to this rule though - if you are using a tube or valve amp.  In this case, you want to keep the amp turned on but put the amp in standby mode using the standby switch.  Trying to connect live circuits can result in shorts, as well as loud pops and feedback bursts that will come through the amp. It'll shorten the life of all the components in your rig. Don't do it. The biggest thing to avoid is powering on a pedal, connecting it, then powering on the amplifier. This is a fast-track to a short. To make sure the pedals and the amp are off before you connect them, you'll need to have them plugged in. Connect both your pedal and your amp to power and switch them on and off to make sure. Some guitar pedals will come with 9-volt A/C adapters, while others will be battery-operated, though most feature both options. For most guitar players, batteries are nice because it's one less thing to plug in, but are a hassle because batteries die and are expensive. Most pedals will have only two jacks, one labeled "Input," and another labeled "Output." These jacks are usually located on opposite sides of the pedal's body, depending on the unit, and are built to accept a standard quarter-inch (6 mm) audio cable. Locate the input and output jacks on the guitar pedal, then connect your guitar to the jack labeled "input." All the inputs and outputs can get confusing for the beginner. Remember: the audio signal is generated by your guitar's pickups, from where it travels to the amp through the cable. So, the guitar should always be connected to the input jack of the pedal, because this reflects the direction in which the signal travels. You play a sound on the guitar, then it travels “in” to the pedal,...

TL;DR in English: Turn everything off. Hook your amplifier and pedal up to power. Connect your guitar to the input jack. Connect the output jack on the pedal to the input of the amplifier. Turn the amplifier on first and set your levels. Turn down the effect knobs before switching it on. Experiment with the pedal. Always unplug cables when you're finished playing.

Swamp coolers work best when the humidity outside is relatively low, making the dew point low. You can check the dew point on most weather apps and weather websites.  The dew point is the temperature at which the water in the air is evaporating and condensing at the same rate. You want a lower dew point because swamp coolers work by evaporating water in the air to cool the room down. The lower the dew point, the lower you can cool. Typically, you can cool down the air to 20 degrees above the dew point temperature without your home getting too humid.  You can also use a dew point calculator to calculate the dew point, such as this one: http://www.dpcalc.org/. You need to know the temperature and humidity. For swamp coolers to work, you need to let air out at the same rate that the swamp cooler is blowing air in. That way, humidity won't build up in your house, making it seem warmer than it actually is. Though opening windows seems counter-intuitive, it actually helps your swamp cooler work better.  You'll need 1 to 2 square feet (0.093 to 0.186 m2) of open window space per 1,000 cfm, which is the unit's cooling capacity. You don't want to open them too far because that lets in hot air.  The other option for ventilation is installing grills to the attic, if your attic has ventilation. To help direct the cool air where you want it, only open windows where you want the air to be cooler, as that will pull the cold air that direction. Keep the windows closed in areas you don't want to cool down. If the weather is nice outside but your house is a little warm, you can use most swamp coolers as a house-wide fan. Pick the vent-only option to cool down your house with outside air. Generally, swamp coolers have more than one speed. The higher speed will keep your home cooler, but the lower speed is more energy efficient. Pick the one that meets your needs.

TL;DR in English: Operate the cooler when the dew point is under 55 °F (13 °C). Let the air out by opening a window or two. Close windows in areas you don't want to cool. Use the fan option when the weather is nice. Change the speed to your preference.

Great writers read extensively. Reading nature poetry that's already been published by successful poets can give you ideas, inspiration, and can open your eyes to what's possible in a nature poem.  A good place to find nature poetry is the Academy of American Poets website. You can search for poets, or use the website's filter to find all works categorized as nature poems.  Search for poems by poets known for their nature-based works. Gary Snyder, for example, is an American poet who's been writing about nature for much of his life. Romantic poets such as Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Keats are also known to include nature in their poetry.  Check your library for published books of nature poetry, anthologies, and nature-themed literary journals. If you're interested in writing a poem about nature, the best way to start is by going out into nature. Whether you go for a short walk, a long camping trip, or anything in between, getting outdoors will help you find inspiration and imagery.  In contemporary times, nature takes many forms. You don't have to go out to the countryside or deep in a forest to find inspiration - try visiting an urban park if you can't get into the wilderness.  Consider seeking inspiration where the natural world meets the pavement. Even remote forests wouldn't be accessible without roads to lead you there - perhaps you can find something inspiring in that transitional zone. When you're out in nature (however you define it), you should begin to feel inspired or creative as you take in your surroundings. It's okay if it doesn't come to you right away - you can always analyze your thoughts/feelings later.  As you observe the natural world around you, begin by noticing what you see, hear, smell, and feel. Next, try to draw associations from the things you're observing. What do your observations remind you of in your own life? Why do you notice the things you do in nature? You can take another step back and consider where you first learned to interact with nature. Don't worry...

Under the Trackpad settings, make sure you are in the Point & Click tab. There are four options and a track speed slider included here.  The Macbook Pro's trackpad has two clicking options. Pressing down works like a button; your trackpad will click and feel as if you pressed a button. This is how you can click, but there is an option to simply tap lightly on the trackpad instead. If you want this option, look to see if it has been toggled (a blue check mark would be in the box next to it). The second option is called Secondary Click. This is similar to right-clicking. You can use the default option of just two fingers or a special option, which is offered in a drop-down box. The video on the right will show you how to use this option. The Look Up option is useful for when you need to define a certain word on a site. You hover over the word and tap three fingers at once to bring up the dictionary term. Three-finger drag is useful for quickly moving windows around on your screen while you are working. If you decide to use it, remember your cursor has to be on the window you want to move, and it must be a currently selected window. Tracking speed is how fast the cursor follows your movements. It's suggested to adjust the speed, as you feel necessary. Everyone is different—some like the cursor to be slower than their fingers, some like it to move faster than their fingers. Test a few speeds and adjust to how you feel.

TL;DR in English: Adjust the Point & Click settings.

Once you have got some space to yourself, you can use this time to consider how you play a role in the other person’s silence. This is not placing the fault on you, but giving you the power to recognize and change any communication patterns that may lead you to this point.   As you reflect on your interactions with the person, try to find common patterns in your own behavior. For instance, your boyfriend was talking and you interrupted him because you assumed you knew what he was about to say. The silent treatment ensued shortly afterward. Your tendency to “predict” his thoughts could be causing frustration that prompts him to pull away. You can minimize your part in causing the silent treatment in this scenario by practicing active listening. Don’t cut in on your partner when they are talking. Give them time to fully express their message before you respond. Feeling manipulated can generate anger within you, which can push an already unhelpful interaction into dangerous territory. Recognize that it won’t do any good for your relationship to display anger. Use the space you get during the silent treatment to minimize the negative emotions you feel.   Try some relaxation techniques such as guided imagery, deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or gentle stretching to reduce anger and promote calm.  If you need time to cool down, try taking a one hour break or even agree to table the conversation until the following day. Just don’t put it off for too long. When you effectively set boundaries in your relationships, you increase the chances of living according to your values. Whether the person giving the silent treatment is a parent, best friend, or lover, you can limit your own feelings getting hurt by this toxic relational pattern by developing personal boundaries.  Set boundaries by first thinking about how you want to be treated in your relationships, and what you will and will not accept from those around you. Once you have established these limits, share these expectations with your loved ones....

TL;DR in English: Identify your role in the silent treatment cycle. Reduce anger to avoid worsening the situation. Set personal boundaries. Perform self-care.

The North Star is more reliable than a compass, which can be affected by environmental factors and periodic variations. If you can find north by locating the North Star and your compass tells you something different, follow the direction the North Star leads you. Where the North Star appears in the sky depends on your latitude. At the North Pole, the North Star appears directly overhead, but at the equator, it would appear on the horizon – both corresponding to the latitudes of the location. If you use the “fist” method and count how many “fists” the North Star appears over the horizon, that will give you your latitude. Remember that a “fist” counts as approximately 10 degrees for latitude. Use the North Star to guide you in a direction, or at the very least, to keep you from going in circles if you are lost. Think about where you are and which direction would be the most helpful, especially if you are lost in the wilderness and need to get back to civilization.  Once you have found the North Star, facing it will point you due north. If you face directly away from it, you'll be facing due south.  When you are facing the North Star, stretch your arms out to your sides. Your left hand will be pointing due west and your right hand will be pointing due east.

An epilator is made of many many tweezers that pluck out the hair, and can remove your hair for up to two weeks on average. Epilators are painful and more time consuming than shaving, but because it removes the entire hair follicle the results will last much longer. Instead of cutting the hair, an epilator has grooves and small indents where, as you run it up your body it grips the hair and pulls it out at the root. Epilators, however can cause a lot of problems with ingrown hairs - be sure to use a hair reduction cream like Depil or Vanish PFB after use. Epilators cannot reach into creases or wrinkles, but they may grab exposed skin painfully. Use one hand to pull your skin tight as you use it.  Wet epilation requires submerging the machine and skin underwater during use. Dry epilation requires clean, dry skin. Multiple passes and directions may be used to achieve best results by removing the most hair (not all hair grows in the same direction). If irritation occurs, apply an astringent/analgesics (such as Tend Skin) and follow up with lotion to soften and soothe skin.  Redness may appear for the first 24 hours following epilation. Plan to perform hair removal at least a day before scheduled events. Tweezing the hair can be very time consuming, especially if on a larger body part, however it is very effective in reducing and stopping hair growth on your face. Pulling hair out individually ensures that you are pulling the hair out from the root. While it can be painful, it is also the cheapest form of hair removal. You can't shave or 'wax' your eyebrows. Most people use a pair of tweezers to pull all the hairs out individually. Use a bright light to see all your eyebrow hairs.

TL;DR in English: Consider epilating. Pull your skin taut. Move the epilator across the skin in the direction opposite hair growth. Use tweezers for small areas of body hair. Pluck your eyebrows with tweezers.

It can be too easy to discard old friendships in favor of your husband. But both partners in a marriage need to continue to cultivate and maintain friendships beyond the  one you share together. Friends are an important outlet for confiding in, for boosting your confidence, and for the ability to say things without reprisal. Don't give that up. Think about whether you have been spending more time with your friends than with him. He might be upset because you do have a better relationship with your friends than you do with him and share more of yourself with longtime friends than with your husband. Try to approach the issue from his perspective. He may be feeling threatened by the closeness you seem to experience with your friends. Reassure him that your friends not taking his place but are another source of balance in your life.Ask yourself if anything has changed in your situation. Have you or your husband changed jobs? Have you moved? How is your life different than an earlier time when your husband might not have felt so jealous? Think about how life changes affect both you and your partner.  "I know you’ve been feeling upset about all the time I spend with my friends, but you knew I had close friends when you married me. They aren’t you -- they’re just another link to my college years.” "Why do you think you’re getting so upset about the time I spend with my friends? I love to spend time with you, but my time with them is special, too. They have supported me through so much.” "Do you want to come out with me and my buddies and see what we do? I haven’t invited you because I thought you wouldn’t like it, but I’m happy to have you come so you can see you’re not missing out.” If your husband is newly jealous of you and your friends, you need to find out why. If nothing for you has changed, what is going on in his life that might have caused this?  "It never used to bother you when I went out on Thursdays. What happened?” "I’m worried about you being jealous of me going out with my friends. You always told me...

TL;DR in English: Accept the need for your friendships. Explore the balance between your husband and your friends. Talk to your husband openly and honestly. Discuss the underlying issues. Ask your husband for his ideas. Schedule time with care.

Turtwig evolves into Torterra, which is good at attack and defense but horrible at its special attack. However, it can learn Dark-type moves like Bite and Crunch, which could save one of your Pokémon slots as you do not need a Dark-type. Chimchar evolves into Infernape which is a decent Pokémon. Piplup evolves into Empoleon which is a Steel and Water-type. A good mixture of types as being a Water-type, Fire-type moves would not be super effective even though it is a Steel-type. Do not use an HM and ruin a Pokémon with a good moveset. Instead get another Pokémon that is pretty much useless to be an "HM slave". It is recommended that you choose Bidoof, which evolves into Bibarel, as it can learn most of the HM except Fly and Rock Climb. 65-70 so you can get pass the Elite Four much easier.

If you find mature termites, there are probably larvae somewhere in the colony. While there are a few different types of adult termite, you can typically identify them by their pale, soft bodies. Worker and nymph termites look like larger versions of the larvae while soldiers have a dark, hardened head. Only the reproductive termites that lay eggs have wings. While you may need a professional exterminator to find most termites, you can do a basic check inspection to see if you can notice any signs of infestation. Start by inspecting window sills, window and door frames, support beams, and places where concrete structures join wooden ones. You should also check in the basement, in crawl spaces, under the porch, and anywhere that moisture is present. Use a flashlight to peer into cracks and dark spaces. Note that termites often live deep within the walls, and they can infest a home for years without being noticed. Just because there are no external signs of termites does not mean that you do not have them. Using a screwdriver, gently tap the wood or surface of a wall. Listen for any hollow or rustling noises coming from inside the wood. This may indicate that there is something living inside the wood. Termites may build mud tubes to travel between areas of their colony. These may look like branches or lines of mud crawling up the wall or foundation. You can break a tube open to see if there are any termites inside. Note that if a tube is empty, it may still mean that there are termites elsewhere in the building. Termites can live deep within a structure, and they often keep their larvae within the most protected parts of their nest. To measure the extent of the problem, you should consult with a professional pest control company. They will be able to tell you if you have termites or another pest. They can also identify the larvae for you.  Contract a reputable company and explore a liquid barrier treatment or the installation of termite bait stations. If there are any areas where moisture is building up, they...

A heat rash is a rash or irritation of the skin that usually accompanies excessive sweating. If you're prone to sweating, you may experience a heat rash in any climate, though hot and/or humid weather is more likely to cause a heat rash in some individuals. Heat rash typically looks like a cluster of red pimples or a series of small blisters, and it most commonly afflicts the neck, upper chest, groin, the undersides of breasts, and the creases of elbows.  Avoid tight-fitting clothing if you believe you might be prone to heat rash. Instead, opt for loose-fitting clothes that are appropriate for the environment you're in.  If you experience heat rash, it's important to keep your skin clean and cool. Bathe or shower in cool or cold water using a soap that won't dry out your skin. When you get out of the bath/shower, let your skin air-dry instead of using a towel.  You can treat heat rash with over-the-counter ointments and creams like calamine lotion and anhydrous lanolin. In severe cases, a doctor might recommend topical steroids. Heat cramps are usually marked by sudden pains or spasms in the muscles. Heat cramps typically affect the abdomen, arms, or legs, and they usually affect individuals who are prone to excessive sweating. As soon as you recognize heat cramps coming on, you should discontinue all physical activity and drink cool beverages, preferably in a cool, shaded place. With proper treatment, heat cramps usually subside within an hour. If you experience heat cramps lasting longer than one hour, seek medical help as soon as possible. Heat exhaustion occurs when your body loses too much water and salt in the form of sweat. You may not have an abnormal body temperature during heat exhaustion, but it is usually marked by excessive and heavy sweating. Getting to a cool, shaded environment and drinking cool beverages (ideally water with an electrolyte supplement) can usually reduce the symptoms of heat exhaustion; however, you should seek medical assistance if any of the following symptoms worsen or last...

TL;DR in English: Treat a heat rash. Recover from heat cramps. Identify and treat heat exhaustion. Learn the signs of heat stroke.

What activities are safe and beneficial for you will depend on what illness you’ve recovered from and what your health status is. If you’re getting back to working out after an extensive knee surgery but are otherwise healthy, you’ll want to do different activities than if you’ve been bedridden for 6 months. When in doubt, ask your doctor what your limitations should be. The range of motion of a joint is how far in what directions a joint can move, and this should sometimes be limited after surgery. For instance, after shoulder surgery your doctor or physical therapist may advise you that you need to avoid reaching overhead until you’re healed. Be sure you understand what movements are safe for you to do before you start exercising. Swimming is a non-weight bearing cardiovascular exercise – in other words, it gets your heart rate up for a good workout without putting stress on your joints. If you’re recovering from knee, hip, or shoulder surgery, swimming can be a great way to start. Swimming and aqua aerobics are also beneficial exercises if you have arthritis or problems with balance like after a stroke. For painful joints, also do isometric exercises of the surrounding muscles. Isometric exercises are those that tighten and release the muscle, which makes it stronger. For instance, if your knee is weak or painful, work to strengthen your quadriceps muscles. The American Cancer Society recommends that those living disease-free or with stable disease exercise regularly. Numerous studies have shown that exercise not only improves wellbeing, mental health, strength, and physical wellness, it may decrease recurrence rates in some types of cancer. Make a goal to exercise for 150 minutes each week or longer, and do strength training 2 days each week.  Always consult your doctor or care team before starting an exercise program. Cancer survivors have some specific needs and limitations during exercise. For instance, chlorinated pools may irritate skin if you’ve had radiation therapy, using heavy weights may be...
