If you are out of shape, have back problems, or heart conditions, it may actually be dangerous for you to shovel snow. After a snowfall, hospitals are inundated with heart attack victims and patients with wrenched backs. Hire a local teen, borrow a snow blower from a neighbor, or contact a professional snow and ice removal service instead. You need to dress warmly, but not so warmly that you are sweating heavily after several minutes of work. Dress in light layers that are easy to remove and do not restrict your movement. Thermal underwear is a great option for keeping you warm while you work in the snow.  Be sure to remove clothing as you heat up while shoveling, as sweat can turn clammy on your skin and actually make you colder. Your skin should remain warm (not hot) and dry. Wear gloves that will prevent blisters and keep your hands warm and dry. You can also wear hand and foot warmers (like Hot Hands or Yaktrax Handwarmers/Footwarmers) in your gloves and shoes to prevent your hands and feet from getting too cold. You lose a large amount of body heat through your head. Wear a hat and earmuffs to retain that body heat and keep yourself warm. If it is very cold you may consider breathing through a scarf but be careful that it does not obstruct your view. A cold-weather face mask is also a good option. Warm muscles will be more efficient and less likely to get injured. Focus on stretching your extremities (arms and legs) and back in particular. Some areas can be uneven and cause you to trip, slip or fall, causing injury. Before shoveling snow, spread sand or salt on any particularly slippery locations where you might have to stand while shoveling snow. This will create foot traction and reduce the risk of injury. Remind yourself to keep good posture and maintain the natural curve of your spine. Keep your back straight as you change between the squatting and upright positions. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart for balance and bend at the knees rather than at the waist or back. Keep the shovel close to...

TL;DR in English: Consider any health risks. Dress appropriately. Stretch. Spread sand or salt on slippery ground. Maintain good posture. Lift correctly. Find the right place to put the snow. Complete areas with deep snow in parts. Take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water. If you feel any pain of any kind, stop immediately and seek medical attention or assistance. Have a cup of hot chocolate. Stretch again.

You can further boost your fiber intake with supplements. Add the package-recommended dose of fiber powder with water and drink the mixture. This can bulk up your stools and help maintain regularity. Follow dosing instructions for fiber. Getting too little fiber can cause irregularity, but so can consuming too much. Physical activity can get your blood flowing and stimulate your intestines. Aim for at least 30 minutes of light physical activity most days. Recognize that 15 minutes of exercise can stimulate your bowels. This can help ease fecal material into your bowels and keep you regular. Try some of the following types of physical activity to stay regular:  Running Walking Biking Swimming Yoga It may difficult to move your bowels by sitting on the toilet. This is because sitting forces your anus into a straight position, which isn't conducive  to pooping. Squat down on to your toilet by placing your feet hip distance apart and bringing your knees close to your torso. to keep your anorectal angle in its natural position. This can help you more easily and regularly evacuate your bowels. Consider getting a foot stool on which to rest your feet while squatting. This can help you get your knees closer to your torso. Waiting to poop or resisting the urge to go can cause constipation. Get to a bathroom as soon as you can if you feel the urge to move your bowels. This can prevent constipation and keep you regular. Put yourself on a schedule if possible. For example, try having a bowel movement every morning. Your body will gradually adjust to the schedule and may respond by staying regular. Some people use natural oils, laxatives and enemas to stay regular. Use these only as necessary because they can cause chronic constipation. They may also injure the muscles of your colon and anus and create laxative dependence. Ask your doctor if laxative use is appropriate and safe to keep you regular.

TL;DR in English: Consider fiber supplements. Move your body. Squat on the toilet. Avoid suppressing the urge move your bowels. Use caution with laxatives.

Collect all the materials you will need to construct and design your sketchbook:  20-30 sheets of drawing paper – Size A4 works well or even 9”x12” or 11”x14”. Patterned paper – This paper is for decorating the outside cover of your sketchbook. Depending on how you want to decorate you can use 3 different patterns for the cover of the sketchbook, the spine, and the interior of the sketchbook covers (endpaper). Cardboard – To make the covers of the sketchbook. Consider using thick paperboard rather than corrugated cardboard; it’ rather feeble.  Glue – White school glue works just fine for painting the materials. Needle and thread – Using a thicker needle is advised, as well as thicker thread, such as string, yarn, or hemp.  Ruler An awl or pushpin Pencil Small paintbrush or sponge brush

TL;DR in English:


Start at the ball of the foot. Wrap the top of the foot. Wrap the ankle. Repeat the figure 8. Fasten the bandage.

You need to take care of this problem right away. Don’t put it out of your mind because you’re really embarrassed. You could be risking your health.  Remember this is something that has happened to many, many people.  You should never leave a tampon in for 8 hours or more as you could get Toxic Shock Syndrome. Although treatable, it can be fatal. However, if you’ve had the tampon in for a very short time (like an hour or so), you might want to wait a bit longer and try to remove it again because dry tampons get stuck more easily, and your menstrual flow may help you remove it.  Try to remove it yourself first – it should be fairly easy to do this – but if that doesn’t work, you will have to call your doctor right away. It can't be said enough - leaving tampons in for too long is very, very dangerous. If you’re tense, you will actually make it worse. Are you sure there is really a tampon inside you or have you just forgotten you took it out? If you're sure it's inside you, remember: It’s not really “stuck." It’s just that the muscles of the vagina will hold it in place until you remove it.   Don’t freak out. The vagina is a relatively small closed area, and it’s not going to be lost up there forever. This is something that has happened to many, many women, so there is no reason to panic. You might want to take a warm shower or warm bath to help you relax before you try to remove it. Take some deep breaths too.  If you are too tense, you will clench the muscles, making the tampon harder to remove. You’re going to want clean hands to remove a stuck tampon because you don’t want to introduce germs into the vaginal cavity. Proper hygiene will prevent infection, further complications, and problems.  You might also want to clip your nails because you will need to insert your fingers into your vagina to get the tampon. You want to make the process as painless as possible. Find a private space (probably the bathroom is best for hygienic reasons). Take off your lower clothing. It will make it easier to remove the tampon.

TL;DR in English: Act fast. Relax. Clean your hands.

Some progesterone creams are available over the counter, while others require a prescription from your doctor. You should ask your pharmacist about different options, and ask for details about the differences. When applying anything to your skin, make sure to read the ingredients and make sure that you do not have any known allergies. If you decide to go with an over the counter option, you might want to try your local natural health store. Homeopathic remedies can be very successful, and you can ask the staff at a small store any questions you may have. You might receive more personalized advice than at a large chain store. While generally considered safe, progesterone can cause some unwanted side effects. Some users have reported issues such as upset stomachs and weight gain. Others have noticed depression-like or PMS-like symptoms. Remember, this cream contains hormones, so it will affect you physically. Before you start using progesterone cream, discuss your options with your doctor. Explain your concerns, and what you hope to gain from using the cream. Ask all of the questions that you have, and gain a clear understanding of what the cream can do for you.

TL;DR in English: Research different creams. Shop around. Know the possible effects. Talk to your doctor.

Hold one end of the ace bandage against the ball of the foot, with the tail of the bandage extending past the outside of the foot, rather than the inside. Keep the tail rolled so that you can unroll it as you go, rather than dealing with an unwieldy long piece as you're trying to wrap.  For extra support, you can place a gauze pad on either side of the ankle before wrapping. Horseshoe-shaped padding cut from foam or felt is also used for extra stability in compression wraps. Use one hand to hold the end of the bandage against the ball of the foot. Bring the bandage over the foot, from outside to inside, then under the foot for a second wrap. Wrap the foot a total of three times, overlapping each wrap by half.  Use the same tension for each loop of the wrap. It should be firm, but not too tight. Each loop of the wrap should be lined up evenly, rather than going in different directions. Start over if you need to do the job more neatly. After the third wrap, bring the bandage over the top of the foot, around the inside of the ankle, behind the ankle to the other side, and back over the instep and under the foot. The bandage should be woven over the foot and ankle in a figure 8, with the heel exposed. Make two more figure 8s, each time overlapping the bandage by half. When you're finished, the bandage should cover the entire foot and extend up past the ankle.  Smaller feet and legs may not require three full figure 8s with a full-sized ace bandage. Use your judgement to decide whether the wrap looks stable after 2 figure 8s. Ask the person how the wrap feels after you're finished winding the bandage. If he or she complains that it's too tight, start over. Stretch the last segment of the bandage a bit and use the small metal prongs or velcro adhesive to secure the end of the bandage in place. Make sure the wrapping job is free of unnecessary lumps or bulges; it should be comfortable and neat.  Remove the bandage if the toes on the foot turn white or feel numb or tingly. The bandage may be worn for a number of...

Your conflict with an intolerable person likely arises from a difference of opinion or intolerance help you avoid situations where you're likely to encounter the person's offending behaviors. Acknowledge that the other person clashes with you. This can help you move on from any situation in which you may encounter the person and not get irritated when you do see her. No matter how insufferable the person is, always remain polite and professional. Not only can disengaging keep a bad situation from escalating but will also cast you in a much more positive light.  Always be polite to others, even if they aren't to you. The truism “you win more bees with honey than vinegar” is something you can apply to any aspect of your life and relationships with other people. Leaving a bad impression on colleagues or friends because you lost your cool can have lasting consequences for you.  Remember to extend civility because the person may be going through something about which you have no idea. This doesn't legitimate bad behavior on their part, but it also doesn't mean you have to rise to their aggression.  You can't control all situations or people, but you can choose how you'll respond to them. Meeting the person with positivity will keep your attitude positive and may also result in a positive resolution to anything.  For example, if someone sends you a nasty email, don't react to it immediately. Draft a response and wait 24 hours to send it. Revisit the email the next day and you will likely tone down your response, which can keep a situation from escalating. If something bad happens, such as losing your job, thank your employer for the opportunity and say “this is a change to find something better that I truly love.” Taking this tactic can also let the other person think they're in control of the situation, which you may need to do to avoid her further. If you are constantly exposed to the intolerable person, it can have significant impact on your attitude. Limiting or stopping contact with the person can help...

TL;DR in English: Determine the source of your conflict. Accept the difference and move on. Stay polite and professional. Limit contact with the person. Get mediation from an independent person.

Written language is the best system humans have ever devised for transmitting knowledge. Naturally, your teachers will want you to show what you’ve learned. In English and Social Studies classes, you do most of your learning by reading—so these are the most common classes to read aloud in. However, you can be asked to read something for the class in any subject, even gym. Try to accept this, and prepare for it instead of dreading it. The best way to look prepared is to be prepared. If you’ve read a passage even once, you’ll have a much better grasp of it than someone who’s never looked at it before. Better yet, read the passage through twice, reading quietly to yourself the second time, if you think you might be called on soon.   Take good notes. You’ll retain information even better once you’ve written it down. Look up unfamiliar words. If you’re reading out loud and get stuck on a big word you didn’t know before, it can break your flow and mess up your confidence.  Similarly, use a pronunciation guide or look up the pronunciation online if you’re unsure how to say a word. If you have extra time one day, bring your textbook to the nearest reflective surface and read out loud to yourself. You’ll be able to check your own posture, and even practice looking up to make eye contact with yourself. If you have a study buddy, take turns reading important passages to one another. Take breaks to offer constructive feedback. Does your friend not know what to look for? Check in with these questions:  Was your voice clear enough? Is it the right volume? Did it sound timid or confident? Does your body language help you seem more prepared? Are you slouching or standing tall? Were there any glaring mistakes (like skipped lines or extremely mispronounced words)? Reading out loud can be stressful, and you probably want to do a good job. Still, no one expects you to sound like you’re part of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Don’t sweat it if you don’t sound flawless. Just do your best.

TL;DR in English: Know you’ll be called upon to read aloud at some point. Do your reading before class. Practice in the mirror. Practice with a friend. Don’t expect perfection.

TL;DR in English:


Hair gel is ideal if you are going for a wet, spiked look. It will give your hair sheen and make it appear wet when it is in spikes. You can find hair gel at your local drugstore or online.  Hair gel is good for hair that tends to get dry and frizzy. Adding sheen to your dry hair can help it appear healthier and more styled. Hair gel may not be ideal if you have oily hair or hair that get oily during the hot weather months. You may decide to use a hair wax instead, as it will not make you hair look too greasy. Hair wax is good if you are trying to avoid the wet look and go for a more matte, spiked style. You can find hair wax at your local drugstore or online. This product is ideal for individuals with naturally oily or thick hair who do not want to end up looking greasy. Hair wax is also often used for individuals who have longer hair on the top of their head that they want to style. Pomade will give your hair shine and luster, as it is usually wax-based. It provides excellent hold and can be re-shaped throughout the day. Pomade can be found online as well as at your local drugstore. Use pomade on wet hair for less hold and more shine, and on dry hair for more hold and less shine. You can also use hair mousse if you are looking to add some volume and definition to your spiked hair look. If your hair lacks natural volume, you may get hair mousse to give your hair a little extra weight and texture. Hair mousse is also great for people with curly hair as it also helps to define your curls and prevents frizziness.

TL;DR in English: Use hair gel for a wet look. Go for hair wax for a matte look. Apply pomade for a slick, styled look. Try hair mousse for more volume.

To work for a major airline, you will typically need 3,000 hours total flight time including at least 1,500 hours multi-engine, and at least 1,000 hours as pilot in command of a turbine-powered aircraft. To gain that experience, you can start by working at a regional airline, which often requires only 1,500 hours of flight time. Many pilots start out at smaller airlines where they can gain experience flying on scheduled flights in a variety of weather conditions. Then, they use that experience to get higher paying jobs at bigger airlines. Some flight schools offer you flight hours in exchange for working as an instructor there. This is a very common route to earning the hours needed to fly for a major airline since it allows you to earn money and while building up your flight hours. Similarly, find a job as an instructor at a simulator company. Even if they cannot pay you a salary, see if you can trade your instructor hours for hours using the simulator and gaining experience to use in future job interviews. Safety pilots, for instance, keep an eye out while another pilot is wearing a view-limiting device that simulates low-visibility weather conditions. You can donate your time while also earning flight hours. Or, if you are in the U.S., you can work with the Civil Air Patrol (CAP)—the official civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. It conducts search-and-rescue missions and educational flights for younger cadets using a feel of smaller aircraft. Some CAP flights require a private pilot’s license at minimum, while others have more stringent requirements. Options include scenic flights, glider towing, aerial photography, towing banners, and pipeline patrol. These jobs may be hard to find when the market is bad for pilots, since other, more experienced pilots may be looking for work. These jobs can usually be found via word-of-mouth or contacting businesses in your area that you think might be hiring part-time pilots.

TL;DR in English: Apply for jobs with regional airlines. Complete your certified flight instructor rating to work at a flight school. Volunteer as a pilot to gain experience while helping others. Find “low-time” pilot jobs in your community for additional hours.

All you need for this technique are scissors or a craft knife, paper, and your hands. This technique works best with stiffer paper that will hold a sharp crease.

Raise the dumbbells out to the sides, just below shoulder-height. Hold the raise for two to three seconds with a slight bend in your elbow.

. If you are unfamiliar with pouring concrete, follow the linked instructions to ensure you do so correctly. Be ready to move on to the next steps as soon as you pour. Many modern concrete mixes do not need to be compressed, or "tamped", before finishing, and tamping the wrong mix can weaken the slab. Confirm your decision with a professional before tamping. If you do decide to tamp, simply press the concrete down using any variety of tamping tool (hand, rolling, etc.). Find the straightest lumber 2x4 you can find and place it across the barriers holding the concrete in place, or "forms". The 2x4 should extend at least a foot past the forms in each direction. This object is referred to as a screed board. Using the technique described below, move the 2x4 down the forms to remove excess concrete.  Use a sawing motion to pull and push the 2x4 across the concrete as you move it down the length of the forms. This sawing motion helps prevent tearing as you level the surface. Tilt the leading edge slightly away from the direction of travel to create a thin cutting edge where the screed board meets the concrete. Keep at least a 1 inch (2.5cm) hump of concrete in front of the edge at all times. This will fill any holes in the concrete's surface. Pour and level in stages for larger projects. At the end of the slab, push the excess concrete against the forms for easy removal with later tools.

TL;DR in English: Pour the concrete Compress the concrete only if necessary. Place a 2x4 across the concrete. Use the 2x4 to level the concrete.

Slowly lift each dumbbell out to the sides, like wings, until your arms are almost parallel to the ground, almost at shoulder-height. Slowly exhale as you use the muscles in the top of your shoulder to lift the dumbbells. Keep your head straight and aligned with your spine. It the lats are engaged, and the shoulder blades are retracted (as they are supposed to be), it is impossible to lift the arms above shoulder height. If the arms go above shoulder height, the lats are not engaged. If you are doing the exercise correctly, your arms will not go higher than the shoulders. If you are using a resistance band, lift the ends of the band as you raise your arms to shoulder-height or just slightly below. Allow yourself to build a little tension in your shoulder, making the workout more effective. Keep your core engaged and stabilized.  Do not flex your wrists or position your arm so that your wrists are higher than your elbows (they should be roughly at the same height or in line). If your wrists are held too high you will shift the work away from your shoulders.  To prevent this, imagine the dumbbell is actually a bottle of water and you are tilting it forward to pour out the water.

TL;DR in English:


Call the police if you suspect an intruder. Install motion-detecting lighting. Purchase items that can be used as weapons. Own a firearm if you feel comfortable doing so. Keep pepper spray or mace in your house.

Plopping is a technique that uses an old t-shirt instead of a towel to dry your hair. Using microfiber towels as gloves is a technique that is exactly as it sounds. Towel drying can easily cause frizz but these techniques can eliminate that as well as reduce tangles and prevent your hair from breaking.  Plopping requires you to place an old t-shirt on a flat surface positioning the end with the sleeves facing you. Bend over and lay your head at the center of the t-shirt making sure that there's material in front of and behind your hair. Try to position yourself so that your hair scrunches hair straight down. Cover the back of your neck with the bottom of your t-shirt. Then, gather the front material of your t-shirt and keep it tight against the sides of your head as you take the sleeves and wrap them from the front to the back of your head. You may twist the sleeves and side material to help keep it tight against your head. Tie the sleeves at the front of your forehead to keep the plop tight. Tuck in any loose material and leave to dry.  Once the conditioner has been rinsed off, turn your head upside down and scrunch your curls with microfiber towels. You may be able to purchase actual microfiber towel gloves online or your local beauty supply store. Scrunching your hair removes excess water while still adding volume. It also reduces frizz and keeps the definition of your curls. The sheer force of a hair dryer can ruin your curls and create a lot of unwanted frizz. Diffusers evenly disperse the air produced by your hair dryer. They may also be used to add volume to your hair and help set curls.  Make sure your diffuser fits firmly onto your hair dryer. While your hair dryer may have come with an attachment, you can also buy a universal diffuser online or your local beauty supply store.  Apply your styling products before drying your hair with the diffuser. Your hair should be about 75% dry before using the diffuser to finish drying.  Use the medium setting of your hair dryer if you do not have time to use the...

TL;DR in English: Towel dry your hair using plopping or microfiber towels as gloves. Add a diffuser to your hairdryer. Pick the right products to control your frizz. Use your dry hair with wet fingers and don't use a brush.

Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about stretches that can ease your back pain. Before and after each game, perform these stretches or others that target your back muscles. Doing these can ease your pain, prevent further injury, and loosen your back muscles. Not every stretch will work for every body or be optimal for certain types of back pain, but consider the following stretches:  Stretch the shoulder by holding a golf club behind your neck and shoulders. Grasp both ends of the club with your hands and rotate your torso gently from side to side from your hips for 10-20 reps.  Stretch the hips by lying down on the floor and pulling one knee to your chest. Return the leg to the floor and repeat with the opposite knee. Perform 10-20 reps.  Stretch the hamstrings by bending over touching your toes. If you can’t reach the floor, simply allow your body to hang over your legs for 10-30 seconds. Use an ice pack or a bag of frozen vegetables on you back 30-60 minutes before you play golf. Keep it on your back for 20 minutes and then remove it. Icing your back before a golf game can reduce swelling and inflammation that cause pain. This may allow you to fully enjoy your game with less or even no pain. Use a towel between the ice pack and your skin to help prevent frostbite.  Freeze a foam cup full of water and gently massage it into your back for 20 minutes. If your skin gets too cold or numb, remove the ice. Pop an over-the-counter pain medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen to relieve your back pain and discomfort. Some, such as naproxen sodium and ibuprofen, may even ease swelling and inflammation in your back. Following dosing instructions to keep you comfortable during your entire golf gain. Take any of the following pain meds to relieve back pain:  Aspirin Ibuprofen Naproxen sodium Acetaminophen Avoid pushing yourself too much during your golf game. Play as many holes as you are comfortable and take frequent breaks. Pay attention to signs of severe pain and stop your game to prevent further...

TL;DR in English: Stretch your back and body regularly. Ice your back before your game. Take an over-the-counter pain medication. Listen to your body.

If you see a burglar or think someone is breaking into your home, leave your house if you can do so safely. Otherwise, grab your phone and hide. Call the authorities as soon as you can, and avoid the intruder. Designate a safe room in your house. It is best to have a plan in advance, rather than coming up with something on the fly. This will alert you if someone is outside your house. Motion detectors are fairly cheap and easy to install, and you can adjust their distance range and how long the lights stay on after activation.  Keep in mind that animals, cars driving by, and heavy winds can potentially activate motion lights. Also, depending on where you are in your house, you may not even see the lights turn on. While you should avoid confrontation with an intruder if at all possible, you may be in a situation where you have to defend yourself. Baseball bats and golf clubs work well, as well as anything sharp. Make sure to keep any dangerous objects away from children. In case of emergency, any household item can be used as a weapon. You might have easy access to a broom, lamp, or telephone. Keep in mind that guns are very dangerous and you need to know what you are doing. If you purchase a gun, you should take a class or have someone teach you to shoot it properly. Learn about the self defense and gun laws in your area, as it may be illegal for you to shoot an intruder unless they are threatening you.   Laws regarding possession of firearms vary in different cities and states. You might be required to have a background check and take a gun safety class. Store the gun in a secure and safe location. Always keep the safety switch on unless you need to use it. Pepper spray is an effective defense weapon because it doesn't require physical strength or skill. It is cheap and available at many stores and online. It quickly disables burglars and gives you time to call the police.  Keep it well out of reach of young children. If a burglar is in your home and you don't own pepper spray or don't have access to it,...

TL;DR in English:


Dig a square hole in the perimeter of your house. Put a board in the hole, put boards in all parts of the hole except one place (this one place will be the door). Fill up holes, make sure that the boards don't wobble much by filling up the holes. Screw the boards of wood that are your wall together. Seal up the screws. Put in a roof. Make a door (optional). Make windows (optional).

The most important way to get an agent to represent you in the business, be it acting or music, is to get out there and start doing your craft. Agents look for talented and already established artists with a track record they'll be able to profit from, not people who may be talented but who've never done anything in the business. If you want to get an agent for acting, you need to act first. If you want to be a singer, you need to perform. Go to every open call-out for actors and take whatever work you can get. The experience may not be glamorous, but it's experience that you can use to move up in the world. If you play music, get on every open-mic, local festival, and radio show that will have you and listen to your music. Get your name out there as a reliable worker. Aside from getting as much experience working as you can, you also need to practice and perfect your skills by taking lessons, workshops, or classes related to your craft. Even if you want to be a stand-up comedian, there are craft-centered workshops in which you learn stage-timing and receive feedback from experience joke-tellers. Find a class or workshop in your area and sign up for it. If you don't enjoy the work itself, there'll be no point in getting an agent to help you get more of it. Start building a network of actors or musicians whom you trust and can use for guidance in building a career. You'll be able to use them for craft tips most importantly, but they'll also prove useful when it comes time to meeting agents. If you've got an actor friend who has scored representation from a licensed agency, you might have an "in" with that agency if you've worked together and shared resources in the past. Help out other performers, too. If you hear about an open call-out for actors, tell your actor friends rather than hiding it from them and hoping to keep it a secret so you'll get it for yourself. When a friend wins a part, celebrate. Spreading the wealth around benefits everyone and will make them more willing to help you out if you need it.

TL;DR in English: Work as much as you can. Perfect your craft. Talk to other performers.

In order to write, you will either need staff paper and a writing implement, such as a pencil or pen, or some kind of music writing software. Writing by hand is problematic because, in order to hear what you’ve played, you have to be able to play an instrument or you need to find someone else who can. With music notation software, you’re able to hear what you’ve written immediately, using the computer playback.  Some examples of music writing software include: Sibelius First, Finale and MagicScore Maestro.  For free music writing software, try MuseScore and Lilypond. If you play or have access to an instrument, you can try playing your melodies using your instrument to hear how they sound before writing them down. Using the outline you created earlier, construct each individual movement. While writing, you’ll need to be constantly making decisions regarding different musical techniques and styles within your piece. Some of those techniques include:  Dynamics Rhythms Intervals Harmonies Theme development Counterpoint Voice leading Orchestration Traditionally, symphonies are written for the following instrumental types: strings (violin, viola, cello, and bass) woodwinds (2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, and 2 bassoons)  brass (2 French horn, 2 trumpets with a small orchestra) and percussion (2 tympani, triangle, and cymbal) for a small orchestra. A medium size is when you can add a piccolo, English horn, bass clarinet, contra bassoon to the woodwinds and double the number of French horns and add 3 trombone plus a tuba to the brass as well as extra percussion instruments. If you can go larger, go for it.  You don't however, have to stick with traditional instrumentation. If the instruments are available and there are players to play them, feel free to use other instruments in your symphony either adding them or using them like different colors (eg. replace one traditional instrument with one non-traditional one). For example, the inventor of the saxophone family designed his instruments for the orchestra (built...

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Start writing. Assign melodies to different instruments.

The hole should not be very wide, but should be a foot or 2 deep. This will be the walls of your house.  Do this by putting a small piece of wood on 2 pieces of wall and screwing the ends of the little piece of wood to the pieces of wall. Do this for all parts of the wall. You need to cover the pointy ends of the screws. You probably don't want to get rained on, so you will have to add a roof to your house. For this part, you get a long board of wood, one so long that it can go from one end of your house to the other. Put this board on top of the wall, one end on top of North Wall, the other end on top of the South Wall. (it doesn't have to be North and South, just as long as you use opposite directions. Then, screw the roof board to the wall that is under it. Then continue putting on roof boards. If you want a door, you can put a board on the hole if you want a simple door, but for a more complex door, you should attach hinges to a wall near the door, and attach a board of wood to the other end of the hinge. To make windows, cut out a square in a board before you put it in the hole.

The master key will give you an express ride if you have one. Your building's manager should have a key, and if you have enough clout, you may be able to just ask for a copy of the key. Firefighters have master keys that work on most elevators, as they need them in case of emergency. If you know someone in the profession, you may be be able to convince him or her to give you a copy of the elevator's key. However, understand that your firefighter friend is likely to be reluctant. Putting master keys in the hands of the public can be dangerous and possibly even illegal. Check the legality of having such a key in your area. If you fail in your quest, you can also check eBay for master keys. You can look for all-access keys that should work in a variety of elevators. Most of these have four sides to work in multiple types of elevators.  Buying keys is somewhat of a legal gray area. Check to see if it's legal in your state before purchasing one.  However, to make sure the key you buy works on your elevator, you may need to do a little research. Look at the make and model of your elevator, which is usually listed inside the elevator. Use that information to find out what kind of key it takes. To use the key, insert it in the keyhole when you get in the elevator. You may need to try more than one if it's four-sided. Leave the key in. Push the button of your floor to get an express ride.

TL;DR in English: Ask for a copy of the master key. Ask your firefighter friends. Check eBay. Use the key.

Measure the distance between your armpits to your upper torso. Use a simple piece of string, a small-diameter rope, or a body strap. Cut two pieces of material to this length and see if they fit around your body. The chest strap should be leveled to your arm pit on your upper chest.  Once you find a comfortable fit, seal the ends with a knot to prevent unraveling. You can also use Velcro to attach the chest strap. Measure and cut out two thin strings that will go over your shoulders and attach to the chest strap to hold it in place. Take a measurement while the chest strap is attached, then remove the chest strap to attach the shoulder straps.  You can knot the straps in place or use velcro to secure the shoulder straps to the chest strap. Imagine the design of a bra to help construct this design. There are plenty of options for underarm guards or pads. You can either make your own pads or buy a pack of premade pads designed to attack the sweat. Use whatever product or design that fit your needs. Use a safety pin or tape to attach the underarm guards to the harness where it crosses under your armpits. The guards should fit snugly against your underarms without impeding circulation. The easiest way to put on the harness is to insert each arm as if pulling on a cut-off T-shirt. Put your head through the harness. Adjust the length of the shields as needed. Once you're satisfied with the placement of the guards and harness, put the rest of your clothing on.  Determine if you can see the harness while fully clothed by looking in a mirror. One way to hide the harness is by wearing an under shirt over the harness and then wear an additional shirt. Loose fit clothing will also help conceal the harness. Give yourself at least one week to test the comfort of the harness before trying a new technique.

TL;DR in English: Create a chest strap. Attach two shoulder straps. Acquire a pair of shields. Attach the guards to the harness. Put on the harness before your other clothing.

This technique is sometimes called the shading stroke because it is perfect for coloring in large areas. Move the pencil back and forth over your paper to create an even and solid color. Use this technique on any types of drawings, including landscapes, sky scenes, portraits, and abstract pictures. Try to keep a consistent pressure when using the back and forward strokes to make the color look even. This is a quick and easy way to make your drawing look 3-dimensional. Simply move your pencil in small circular motions over the paper. Use this circular technique to add realistic texture to clothes, skies, trees, animals, and faces.  Experiment with different sized circular motions on scrap paper to figure out which style you like best. To darken the color, simply overlap the small circles. Similarly, to lighten the color, use slightly larger circles and spread them out a little more. You can get a lot of colors out of one pencil just by changing how hard you press down. Press really gently to create a light color and press firmly to create a darker color. To make objects look 3-dimensional, press harder in areas where you want to create shadows and press lightly in areas that you want to highlight.  This is perfect for drawing sky and water, as it allows you to create the different shades that are found in nature. This helps to make your drawings look more realistic. If you find that you are breaking the lead in your pencil, press a little lighter and color over the same section a few times to achieve the same depth of color. Hatching is a shading technique that involves drawing multiple parallel lines in a row to fill a blank space with color and texture. Don’t worry if there is a little bit of white between the lines, as this helps to accentuate the unique texture that hatching produces.  Draw the lines close together to create deep, solid colors, or separate the lines a little to make the color look lighter and more dispersed. Make the lines the same color to create a solid color, or use different colors to...

Brownies continue cooking as they sit outside the oven, which helps them firm up and taste extra delicious. Leave your brownies on a wire cooling rack on top of your counter until they are completely cooled. Avoid leaving your brownies on the stovetop. The heat from your oven will delay the cooling time. A serrated knife works well for cutting through brownies. You could also use a smooth blade if you don't have a serrated one.

TL;DR in English: Let your brownies cool for 1-2 hours before you cut them. Use a serrated knife to make the cuts.

You should have each program you want to use to test your computer's RAM up and running before you proceed. For example, if you want to see what your RAM looks like while running Safari, QuickTime, and GarageBand, you should have all three of these programs running before proceeding. Click the magnifying glass icon in the top-right corner of the screen to do so. A search bar will appear in the middle of the screen. Type in activity monitor, then double-click the Activity Monitor result in the menu that appears below the Spotlight search bar. It's at the top of the window. Doing so brings up a list of programs currently affecting your computer's RAM. At the bottom of the window, you'll see a "Physical Memory" heading and a "Memory Used" heading. The first heading refers to the amount of RAM your computer has installed, while the second refers to the amount of RAM currently in use.  Subtract the "Memory Used" value from the "Physical Memory" value to calculate the amount of remaining RAM. You can also watch the "MEMORY PRESSURE" graph to see a real-time representation of approximately how much RAM is being used.

If your leg pain is chronic, aggravated by walking or particularly severe, then seeing a chiropractor or osteopath is a good idea. Chiropractors and osteopaths are spinal specialists that focus on establishing normal motion and function of the spinal joints that connect the vertebrae by manually adjusting them. Problems in the spine, such as a disc herniation, "pinched" nerves, or degenerative arthritis, can cause pain, numbness and/or weakness in the legs — making it difficult to walk.  Although a single spinal adjustment can sometimes completely relieve your issue, more than likely it will take three to five treatments to notice significant results. Chiropractors and osteopaths also use a variety of therapies tailored more towards muscle strains, which may be more appropriate for your leg issue. Medical specialists may be needed to rule out the most serious causes of chronic leg problems, such as diabetic neuropathy, venous insufficiency (leaky vein valves of the lower leg), stress fracture of the tibia, infections, bone cancer, chronic compartment syndrome (swelling of the lower leg muscles), or popliteal artery entrapment. These conditions are obviously not common causes of tired and sore legs, but if home care and conservative therapies are not effective for soothing your legs, then more serious problems need to be considered.  X-rays, bone scans, MRI, CT scans, diagnostic ultrasound and nerve conductance studies are  diagnostic tests and modalities that specialists may use to help diagnose your leg issue. Your doctor may also send you for a blood test to rule out diabetes, inflammatory arthritis or a bone infection. You may be given compression socks to wear if the veins in your lower legs are weak or leaky. If the stress is too great in your life and it's causing musculoskeletal and/or emotional problems, then talk with a mental health professional. Aside from helping with stress, anxiety and depression, cognitive-behavioral therapy can also help with musculoskeletal pain.  Mental health professionals...

You can peel the sweet potatoes or leave the skin on. It doesn’t matter how the potatoes were cut—they could be diced, in large chunks, or even in wedges. Use a clean bowl that is big enough to contain the potatoes without them extending up over the lip of the bowl. Check that there is enough room in your fridge for the bowl. If not, clear out some space so it will fit. You can use filtered or tap water. Give the potatoes a quick stir to ensure the water has gotten in between all of the pieces. You could also add a handful of ice to the bowl to make sure the water stays as cold as possible, though this isn’t required. If you are prepping for a big meal, dice up your sweet potatoes up to a day in advance and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook them. If you drain the potatoes and notice that they are turning brown, that they’ve started getting soft, or if they are slimy, you should discard them as they may be going bad. Don’t leave the bowl out on the counter for longer than 1-2 hours. The potatoes will probably be okay, but there is also a chance that the water will get warm, which could cause the potatoes to start turning brown.

TL;DR in English: Place your cut, raw sweet potatoes into a large bowl. Cover the potatoes with cold water. Keep the bowl in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

You can meditate anywhere, but it's best to find a quiet place free of distractions. If you're at work and you have an office, try closing the door. If you don't have your own space, you can go for a walk on your lunch break and find a peaceful place away from the office.  If possible, reduce distractions by silencing your cellphone and turning off your computer. Try and find someplace you can be alone for 5 to 10 minutes. If you can't find a quiet space indoors, you might want to try sitting outside (if the weather permits it). Comfort is very important when you meditate. There's no prescribed position; it's just crucial that you get into a position that helps you relax.  When some people think of seated meditation, they picture a meditation master sitting in perfect lotus position with the legs crossed. If this is comfortable for you, then go ahead, but if not just find what makes you relaxed. You can try sitting with your legs crossed, sitting in a regular chair or on a bench, or even lying flat on the floor. If you're comfortable (and feel safe) closing your eyes, then go ahead. If not, keep your eyes open but try to focus on a point on the ground just in front of you. Deep breathing is at the heart of meditation. Concentrate on the sensation of breathing, and try to block out any other thoughts. Any time you find your mind wandering or your thoughts racing, simply return your focus to your breath.  Don't take shallow breaths in your chest; instead, take deep breaths that go all the way down to your diaphragm (below the ribs). Feel the air flow through your nostrils and into your lungs. Notice the sensation of your belly rising and falling with each inhalation and exhalation. You can either set a timer for 5 to 10 minutes, or simply breathe until you feel a sense of calm come over you. You can take these little meditation breaks anytime and any place when you need to calm down and quiet an anxious mind. When you're finished, slowly open your eyes. Don't get up right away; give your eyes and your mind a...

The decking should rest about 1/2 inch away from the edge of the pool to allow for expansion.  Adjust the edges of the board that rest near the pool wall with a jigsaw as needed. Use spacers between decking boards to allow for drainage and expansion. 1/4" or 3/8" spacers are common, but you can use 1/2" spacers if more expansion is expected. Look at the place where the decking meets the exterior edge of the perimeter supports. Use a circular saw to trim any spots where the decking juts out over the supports.

The only way to truly stop passing judgment is to know when you are doing it in the first place. If you are disconnected from your self-talk, you’ll have trouble reframing it. Spend some time tuning it to your judgments of yourself and others. Listen to your thoughts for a full week. Notice the situations when you are most likely to judge. Question why you decided to do this. Keep a log so that you can identify patterns in your judging behavior. Sometimes, what bothers you about others is something that bothers you about yourself. When you are unhappy with some aspect yourself, you are more likely to project this dissatisfaction onto others. As you start keeping a log of judgments and criticisms, try to find the underlying connections. For instance, you judge a coworker for being late, but you do so because you secretly envy how carefree this person is. You often wish you had the nerve to break a rule. When you spot connections between your judgments of others and your own flaws, be willing to acknowledge these shortcomings and forgive. Self-forgiveness is often just as important as granting forgiveness to others. Show compassion to yourself when you judge and stop being so hard on yourself for engaging in an entirely “human” behavior. You might give yourself a hug and say, “I know that I must be hurting to judge my friend so harshly. I forgive myself for judging. I also forgive myself for ignoring my own pain. I am paying attention now.” One of the primary ways people verbally judge others is through gossip. Often gossiping appears harmless, a way to forge a bond with others. But do you really want to get closer to one person by driving a wedge between you and another? Probably not. Stop gossiping and keep your distance from those who tend to do it. The internet can bring out the judgmental attitude in anyone. You may find yourself judging "friends" on your social media feed or criticizing celebrities and politicians. If this brings out your judgmental side, bring awareness to the problem and reduce your...

For a few days, keep a log of everything you normally consume. Read the labels of everything you eat and drink, and note the total calories and fat content per serving for each item. Add up the total calories and calories from fat that you consume per day.  Keep a written list of the items you consume and how much of them you're consuming or track them using a calorie counting app. For items that don’t have labels, such as produce or meat, search online or on your tracking app for calorie and fat estimates. Look up the daily amount of calories recommended for your age, sex, height, weight, and activity level. Compare your recommended intake with the numbers in your food log. This will give you an idea of how many calories to cut from your diet.  For example, suppose you’ve been consuming around 3500 calories per day. If your recommended daily caloric intake is 2500, aim to cut around 1000 calories from your diet. Use MyPlate’s calculator to find your recommended daily caloric intake at https://www.choosemyplate.gov/MyPlate-Daily-Checklist-input. Enter your age, sex, height, weight, and activity level. The calculator will list how many calories you should consume to maintain your current weight and how many you should cut from your diet to get to a healthy weight. Reduce your caloric intake slowly, even if you’re consuming hundreds of calories more than your recommended amount. Try reducing your calories by around 150 per day. You’ll have an easier time adjusting to your new diet, and you’ll be more likely to stick with it.  Don’t cut your calories drastically or consume fewer calories than the estimate you found on MyPlate. For example, if you need 2500 calories per day to meet your basic needs, consuming 1000 per day wouldn’t provide your body with the fuel it needs.  Additionally, your body might interpret a sudden drop in caloric intake as a sign it should store more fat. Your body evolved this fat-storing response in order to deal with periods when food is scarce. Plan your portions and meals to ensure...

TL;DR in English: Calculate how many calories you currently consume. Find out your recommended daily calorie allowance. Lower your calorie consumption gradually. Control your portion sizes.

Resist the urge to cover up with baggy clothes, which can look sloppy and throw off your body’s proportions. Clothes that are too tight are no better. The trick is to invest in clothes that fit you just right.  If you don’t know your sizes, ask an employee at a clothing store for recommendations. If you’re self-conscious, it may be more comfortable to shop at a men's store that specializes in big and tall sizes. Be sure to choose clothes that fit you right now. You may have to buy new items in the future if you lose or gain weight in the future, but well-fitting clothes can help you look your best in the present. A v-neck collar helps elongate the face and neckline, so look for that collar shape when you’re shopping for t-shirts and sweaters. Crew neck collars, on the other hand, don’t draw the eyes down and can exaggerate a round face shape. Crisp, quality v-neck t-shirts are super versatile. You could wear a v-neck and linen slacks to a barbecue or pair one with a blazer for a business casual look. The distance between a dress shirt’s collar points is called the spread. When you shop for button-ups, look for shirts with widely spread collar points to balance out a broader face and neck.  Ideally, go for collar spreads wider than a right angle. Look where the collar points meet at the top button and form an angle. That angle should be greater than 90 degrees. Narrow collars look out of proportion with broad features. Next to a narrow collar, a broad face and neck look wider. Straight-legged pants can help balance out the proportions of your legs, waist, and stomach. Pants that are as wide at the bottom as at the thigh are especially great if you have a larger midsection but smaller legs. Boot-cut pants with a subtle flare at the ankle could also work, but you generally don’t want to go with full-on bell-bottoms (unless that’s your style!).  Tapered jeans (such as skinny jeans) with wider thighs and thinner ankles can make your legs look disproportionately small and exaggerate your midsection. Pleats can add...

Persuasive essays generally have a very clear format, which helps you present your argument in a clear and compelling way. Here are the elements of persuasive essays:  An introduction. You should present a “hook” here that grabs your audience’s attention. You should also provide your thesis statement, which is a clear statement of what you will argue or attempt to convince the reader of. Body paragraphs. In 5-paragraph essays, you’ll have 3 body paragraphs. In other essays, you can have as many paragraphs as you need to make your argument. Regardless of their number, each body paragraph needs to focus on one main idea and provide evidence to support it. These paragraphs are also where you refute any counterpoints that you’ve discovered. Conclusion. Your conclusion is where you tie it all together. It can include an appeal to emotions, reiterate the most compelling evidence, or expand the relevance of your initial idea to a broader context. Because your purpose is to persuade your readers to do/think something, end with a call to action. Connect your focused topic to the broader world. Your hook is a first sentence that draws the reader in. Your hook can be a question or a quotation, a fact or an anecdote, a definition or a humorous sketch. As long as it makes the reader want to continue reading, or sets the stage, you've done your job.  For example, you could start an essay on the necessity of pursuing alternative energy sources like this: “Imagine a world without polar bears.” This is a vivid statement that draws on something that many readers are familiar with and enjoy (polar bears). It also encourages the reader to continue reading to learn why they should imagine this world. You may find that you don’t immediately have a hook. Don’t get stuck on this step! You can always press on and come back to it after you’ve drafted your essay. Many people believe that your introduction is the most important part of the essay because it either grabs or loses the reader's attention. A good introduction will tell the...

Once your weaknesses are identified, you need a plan to beat them. Set goals for yourself with time limits. Under each goal, create actionable steps that allow you to stay on track and succeed.  For example, if your public speaking skills are weak, make it a goal that you can give a confident presentation. You can plan out actionable steps like writing a speech, delivering the speech to an empty room, then to one person, then to several people. Eventually, you’ll be confident enough to deliver the speech to a public audience. Tell other people about your goals to make yourself accountable for them. You may even ask a trusted friend or mentor to be an accountability partner. They should check in every now and then to see how far you have progressed. While you are working to overcome a weakness, work on things you are good at, too. This will keep your confidence up and help you get back to work overcoming the weaknesses. It also keeps you looking competent and skilled while you build your skillset even more. For example, if you are really good at writing speeches, you could help others write their speeches until you feel comfortable delivering your own. Your weaknesses are called weaknesses for a reason. It takes hard work and dedication to overcome them. Even if you fall short of a goal, acknowledge any progress that you did make. This will keep you in a positive frame of mind and help you pick up and continue overcoming the weakness.  Even if you haven’t mastered the art of speaking to large crowds, give yourself credit when you speak up in a meeting or give a presentation to your colleagues. Celebrate all of your successes. You can do this by taking photographs to commemorate them, making social media posts, or going out to dinner with friends.

Don't be too obvious about it, but let him see you with your other friends and remember how much fun it is to hang out with you.  If you know you'll see him, look your best without being too obvious that you're dressing up for him.  When you do run into him, greet him with a smile and a surprised look -- you were so busy having fun that you didn't even think about the possibility of him being around. This doesn't work for everyone, but if you think that having your ex see you with another guy, or just flirting with a group of guys, will make him want to be around you even more than go for it. This doesn't mean you should get another boyfriend just to make him jealous. Just let him see you flirting, tossing your hair back, or even getting on the dance floor with another guy or two. Don't go too far with this one. If he thinks you're actually dating someone else, he may back off. Or who knows -- that might make him want you even more. Without being too obvious, post some photos of you having a great time with your friends, you at the beach, or even you hanging out with a few guys. This will make your ex remember how great you look and feel sad that he doesn't hang out with you anymore. Don't post anything too often -- just once or twice a week to remind him of how amazing you are. Pick a time when you know he's likely to be online -- if you know his schedule, you'll have a sense of when he's most likely to look at your pics. Start making your relationship a bit more friendly. Move on from the casual hello to a short conversation, and then even stick around and chat with him for ten or even twenty minutes. Make sure you always say goodbye first, though, and don't make him linger longer than he wants to. This will make him even more sad to see you...

TL;DR in English: Let your ex see you having a great time without him. Make him jealous (optional). Make him jealous on social media. Start hanging out with him a bit. Let him see how you've changed. Read the signs. Slowly start to date again.

Traditionally, the last player to bet or raise during the final round is the first to put down their cards. After that, the Showdown proceeds around the table clockwise. If everyone chose to check in the final round, the player to your immediate left will automatically be designated as the first to show. During the Showdown, players also have the option of “mucking,” or surrendering their hand without turning their cards over. Players who muck aren’t eligible to win the pot. Hands follow the same basic value rankings in Texas Hold 'em as in most other popular versions of poker. Be sure to point out where the victorious player’s cards trump the other players’ so that there won’t be any doubt or confusion.  Keep in mind that aces are both high and low in Texas Hold 'em, meaning they can be played before a 2 or after a King in a straight. Now that the hand has ended, the victor is free to collect their winnings. After presenting the pot, turn your hands over to show that you haven’t secretly palmed any chips. This is a sign of good faith among amateur players, who typically place bets in addition to dealing. In the event of a tie, the pot should be “chopped,” or split evenly among the players with the highest hands. The player who was the Small Blind in the previous round will now serve as the new dealer. In this way, the roles of dealer, Small Blind, and Big Blind will continue to rotate around the table so that every player gets a turn. If at any point a player decides to withdraw from the game before their turn as dealer, the person to their left becomes the next dealer in line.

TL;DR in English:


If you're a fan of the classic "Captain America" costume, you can also try the "Captain America" costume from the movie "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." The costume is a bit more complicated than the "Captain America" costume, but it's still fun to wear. The costume is made of a

Choose someone you admire. Draw ideas from pop culture. Make it believable.

Insert the needle through the wrong (back) side of the canvas. Choose a space at the top left of your canvas or at the top left of a block of color. Bring the needle through a space on the right (front) side of the canvas that is diagonally-adjacent to the stitch on the right side. Then, repeat the same stitch to create a stitch alongside your first stitch.  Work from left to right in a row across the canvas, and then work the stitch back along the row in the opposite direction. As you sew the second row, the second diagonal stitch should go through a space that already has thread going through it. This will help to reduce the visible canvas behind the thread. Insert the needle into the space where you want to begin working the continental stitch. Then, bring the needle up diagonally and down through the stitch adjacent and to the right of that stitch. Then, come up through the next space in the row beside where you started the stitch.  Continue to work across the row going from right to left. Then, work back along the next row going from left to right. Make sure to insert the needle through spaces that already have 1 stitch in them on your second row. Work this stitch diagonally starting at the top right hand corner of the area. Bring the needle down through the space that is diagonal to this space. Then, bring the needle back up through the space that is diagonally adjacent to this stitch, and repeat the stitch. This stitch creates a pyramid like stitch design. It allows good coverage of the canvas with the least distortion and should be used in large areas. Insert your needle through the canvas where you want to begin the stitch. Bring the thread all the way through the canvas and pull it taut. Then, insert the needle into the second stitch up from where you brought the needle out. Bring the needle back through the canvas next to where you started the first stitch.  Use a thick thread, yarn, or multi-strand piece of embroidery floss to create the brick stitch. You can also try the Bargello or long point...

TL;DR in English: Do a half-cross stitch for a simple stitch that covers a small area. Use the continental stitch to provide more coverage over an area. Try basketweave stitch to provide full coverage over large areas. Do the brick stitch for a vertical stitch with good coverage.

Your non-dominant hand, which for the purpose of this example will be referred to as the left hand, should be suspended over your leg. Hold the spoons in your right hand. Position your right hand between your left hand and leg. Remember that your left hand should be about 5 inches or so above your leg. You will create a clacking, rhythmic noise with your spoons by striking them down into your leg and up into your left hand. Lightly tap your spoons several times slowly until you feel comfortable with the grip. You can create different tones with your spoons by striking different parts against your left hand or leg. The two main striking points are the tip, which is the rounded end of the spoon opposite the end of the handle, and the cup of the spoon, which is the hollow part.  Striking the tip of your spoons up into your left hand or down into your leg will create a lighter, brighter sound in your spoons. Hitting the cup of your spoon up into your left hand or down into your leg will creates a stronger, more accented sound. When attempting to strike the tip of your spoons, you may find it easiest to hold your left hand at a slight angle, so that you can bring the tip of your spoon up into the meaty part of your hand where the thumb joins the palm. This posture will help prevent you from hitting too much of the cup of the spoon, creating a louder clacking. Cup strikes will be flatter against your leg and left hand. Strike one cup against your leg, and then bring it up into the meaty part of your hand, where the thumb joins your palm. Both strikes should be as flat as possible to create the strong, accented tone of a cup strike. At first, you’ll probably want to do this slowly. This will ensure you keep your spoons gripped correctly while coordinating the different strikes. Repeat the earlier exercise where you accented the second and fourth beats of your rhythm, only this time use a clap strike to accent and your tip strike on beats one and two.  As you become more comfortable, try different patterns. You might...

TL;DR in English: Return your hands to the starting position with your spoons in hand. Practice the motion of striking your spoons. Identify the two main striking points on your spoons. Master tip strikes with your spoons. Perfect your cup strikes. Alternate your cup and tip strikes.

Is Captain America your idea of a virtuous hero? Or do you prefer the wily tactics and sinuous stealth of Black Widow or Catwoman? Maybe your taste runs more toward Harry Potter or Elizabeth from "Pride and Prejudice." Whatever you decide, make sure your costume is something you'll enjoy representing. These are some examples of characters you can portray for Halloween, taken from well-known books, movies and music: Cruella de Vil, Elsa, Flash Gordon, Spider-man, Luke Skywalker, Shrek or Fiona, Elvis, Belle or the Beast, an Egyptian mummy, Dorothy or another character from "The Wizard of Oz," Cinderella, Snow White, Aladdin, Captain Hook or Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, the Cat in the Hat, Mary Poppins, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, a witch or a vampire. If you choose to dress up as Elvis, for example, think of what people associate most with the King of Rock 'n' Roll. A white jumpsuit with colorful rhinestones would look great with some matching platform shoes. And don't forget that shiny black hair!

TL;DR in English:


Pick a theme and decorate accordingly. Cover the table. Use appropriate dishes. Include something fun.

Before you deep clean your floor, sweep any specks of dust, crumbs, and garbage that might be on the floor. Last of all, take out the trash. You should do this last because while you are cleaning you will undoubtedly find things you will want to throw away. Wash the trash can with soap and water. Replace the bag with a new one.

TL;DR in English: Sweep the floor with a broom and dustpan. Take out the trash.

There are a few different types of solar cells to buy, and most good options are either made in the United States, China, or Japan. However, the best cost-to-efficiency option is most likely polycrystalline cells. The number of cells you should buy depends on the amount of energy you’re looking to produce. The specs should be listed when you purchase the cells.  Make sure to buy extras. These cells are extremely fragile. Cells can most easily be bought online through websites like Ebay, but you may be able to purchase some from your local hardware store. It may be necessary to clean wax off of the cells, if the manufacturer ships them in wax. To do this, dip them in hot, but not boiling, water. Each cell shouldn’t cost more than $1.30 per watt. You will need a thin board made out of a non-conductive material, such as glass, plastic, or wood, to attach the cells to. Lay out the cells in the arrangement you will use, then measure the dimensions and cut a board to that size.  Leave an extra inch or two at both ends of the board. This space will be used for the wires that connect the rows together. Wood is a more common backing material to choose because it’s easier to drill through. You’ll need to drill holes in it for the cell wires to pass through. When you look at your polycrystalline cells, you’ll see a large number of small lines going in one direction (the long distance) and two larger lines going in the other direction (the short distance). You will need to connect tabbing wire to run down the two larger lines and connect to the back of the next cell in the array. Measure the length of that larger line, double the length, and then cut two pieces for each cell. Using a flux pen, run 2-3 lines of flux down the length of each cell strip, or group of three squares. Make sure to do this on the back of the cells. This will keep the heat of the soldering from causing oxidation. Use a soldering iron to melt a thin coat of solder onto the back of the cell strips. This step is not necessary if you purchase...

TL;DR in English: Purchase the cells. Measure and cut a backing board. Measure and cut all of your tabbing wire. Flux the work area. Solder the tabbing. Bond the wire to the cells.

This will add to the fun of the party. Let your kid help you decide or surprise them based on their interests. You could do a sports theme or a certain color scheme, you could incorporate their favorite superhero or tv show. The possibilities are endless! Go to a local party store and see what options they have. A lot of times, you can find all of the decor you need that goes with your theme. They might have table cloths, plates, cups, and even goodies that will set a very fun tone for the party. It is important to protect the table from spills or other incidents. You could use a tablecloth that goes with the theme of their party. The kids will love it and it will make your life much easier. Consider using a plain sheet of paper as a table covering. Then place crayons on the table so that the kids can draw and enjoy themselves as they wait for food. You probably don’t want to give your best china to a five year old! If it is a casual birthday party, paper and plastic utensils are perfectly acceptable. If it is a more formal party such as a holiday party that requires a kids’ table, try to tie in the theme of the adult table so that they feel included. You could use the same napkins as the adult table and perhaps even the same tablecloth. That way it will every bit as important as the adult table. This also depends on the age of the kids and the style of the party. Use your judgment to know what they can handle. For young children, use plastic cups instead of glasses and don’t set knives out. Especially if it is a kid’s birthday party, try to make it special. Include a noise maker or funny hats or a small game. Even a little pouch of treats for each child will put a big smile on their face. It is a party, after all.

TL;DR in English:


Know your surroundings. Know the enemy's strength. Learn how can you set up an impenetrable defense. Get to know your units. If you play U.S.A or China, always have your airforce at your disposal. When attacking, maintain a good formation of your units to assure minimal losses. Before attacking an enemy base, heavily bombard it with bombs. When the enemy is engaged in an offensive against you, if you can, try to intercept them and powder them if you can. Watch out for booby traps, land mines and any traps. When building your base, don't let the structures be built too closely to each other. If possible, provide air support to your units at all times.

Have kids learn the proper way to breathe when freestyle swimming through repetition. Before getting in the pool for a lesson, have them practice breathing in through their mouth, then breathing out through their nose. Repeat this exercise until the children get used to the pattern . Let children understand the proper arm strokes for freestyle swimming by acting it out for them and letting them copy you. Lift one arm with the other by your side and bend the wrist of the extended arm downward. Make a propeller motion with this one, then repeat with the other arm. Show kids how to cup their hands during each stroke. Crossover, or overlapping strokes, is a common problem for beginner swimmers. To help children grasp how to swim in a straight line, ask them to picture a vertical line running down the center of their body. Demonstrate how, with each stroke, their hand must enter the water without crossing over to the other side of their body. Pointing your toes and keeping your legs straight help to propel you through the water when swimming. When you are all outside of the pool, give the kids a demonstration on how to point your toes when swimming and have the kids imitate what you do. Later, when they are in the water, have the kids practice pointing their toes and extending their legs while kicking so they get used to doing it. Keeping your back straight while swimming is important to help avoid crossover and injury. Show kids how to improve their posture by having them pull their shoulders back, stomach in, and push their chest forwards. Have them bring their arms up in a "T" or "V" shape and hold this position for 10 seconds. Repeat this 5 times. A big part of swimming is being alert and knowing the right moves, so it is important to go over the theoretical part of swimming with kids. Review everything from basic safety rules, like never swimming without a grownup, to rules about what to do when swimming. Quiz children who are old enough to communicate what they have learned.

TL;DR in English: Practice proper breathing outside of the pool. Demonstrate proper swim strokes outside of the pool. Show kids how to avoid crossover. Teach kids to point their toes and extend their legs as they kick. Have kids do posture improving exercises. Quiz kids about swimming and safety rules.

Some people think that they have to act like someone else to get a person to like them, or always be on guard to protect themselves. However, this is really just tricking that person into thinking you are someone that you are not and never allowing them to get to know the real you. Be willing to let your guard down and let your boyfriend know the real you.   Show your boyfriend your real personality by sharing your interests and hobbies, sharing jokes that you think are funny, sharing what type of music you like, and acting in a way that feels comfortable for you. Share your hopes, dreams, and fears to practice being vulnerable around your boyfriend.  Do not apologize for who you are! If your boyfriend does not understand or appreciate your personality, then perhaps he is not the right guy for you to be dating. Although some people claim to not be creative at all, everyone is creative in unique ways. If it feels challenging for you to communicate verbally, another way to get comfortable around your boyfriend is to express yourself creatively.  Show him artwork that you created, songs that you wrote, poetry that you wrote, and things of that nature. If you are into technology, you could tell him about a video game, website, or app that you are designing. Girls especially struggle with this. There is often a feeling of always needing to look perfect when around your boyfriend. However, displaying confidence even when you do not look perfect helps you to relax around him.  If you are a girl, do not be afraid to spend time with him without any makeup. In fact, many boys and men prefer the way girls and women look without makeup as opposed to with it. Wear clothing that feels comfortable to you. You do not always have to dress to impress; wearing jeans and a t-shirt or even sweatpants, if you are hanging out at home, is perfectly acceptable. One of the most important aspects of any relationship is friendship. The strongest couples are also friends, so if you were not already friends with your boyfriend prior to...

TL;DR in English: Show your true personality and allow yourself to be vulnerable. Express your creativity. Feel confident about your appearance. Become friends with your boyfriend.

Knowing your environment is a key point towards your victory in a battle especially when we are talking about skirmish conflicts. Be familiar of your surroundings; where is the possible ground zero of your enemy? Determine where the resources are. Scout for areas where you can set your flank to defend your base. Observe the enemy's possible route when performing offensive operations. Search for safe areas where you can settle your troops. A good commander doesn't make a move without knowing the environment of his battlefield. A good general never underestimates his enemy. Is the enemy using toxins? Is the enemy good at stealth? Does your enemy have a large amount of tanks in his disposal? What are the strengths of the enemy? How can you exterminate them without a lot of casualties? Determine the behavior and the capability of your enemy before making any operations. Defense is important and you are playing blind when you don't know how to set a good defense. Once your defenses are good. You are impenetrable and the possibility of getting defeated decreases. Determine their strengths and weaknesses. Know when you are going to use them. Know their strengths. For example, are they good at tank busting? Good at anti-aircraft busting? All units must move by placing them in strategic positions.. It is good both in offensive and defensive operations.  Destroy its defenses to assure minimal casualties once the offensive team arrives. That way, they won't go far deep in your defenses. This strategy is good for generals who want adhesive actions. This might harm a lot of your units, so a good general sends out scouts first before letting their units on a patrol. When an air raid happens, you'll lose a lot.

TL;DR in English:
