Do not show any emotion. Even if you feel yourself getting angry, annoyed, or irritated, don’t give them what they want by showing that their rudeness is getting to you.  Stay calm and collected. Close your eyes and take a deep breath if you feel yourself losing your temper. Keep a straight face or try going for a “blank” look on your face, disengaging completely from the person and showing them they are not worth your time. When you make eye contact, you are acknowledging the person and validating their actions. Look away from them and gaze straight ahead at something in the distance. Avoiding looking down at the ground. This type of body language comes off as submissive and unconfident. Keeping your gaze up and steady makes you look self-assured and in control. You can convey a lot through your body language alone. Turn your shoulders and feet to point in the opposite direction. Cross your arms in front of your body to look closed off and disengaged. If possible, walk quickly in the opposite direction from them and don’t look back. Stand up tall and look confident as you are walking.  If you feel awkward not saying anything before walking away, keep your response short. This will acknowledge that you’ve heard what they’ve said but don’t agree with it. You can just say something like, “OK” or “I don’t know” before turning away. If a classmate keeps rubbing in your face that he or she got a perfect score on his last exam, just smile and say, "That's nice.” Then turn your or her attention to other, more important things. If it’s someone that you know you will have to interact with again, like a coworker or friend, walking away from a few minutes can give them some space to calm down. Hopefully when you meet again, they will have changed their behavior. . Keep your distance from the rude person so that their negativity does not bog you down on a regular basis.  If the person is a stranger, this should be easy - you will likely never have to see them again. If you really can’t stand the person but tend to run...

TL;DR in English: Maintain a “poker” or “stale” face. Cut off direct eye contact. Turn your body away from them. Walk away. Avoid the person

Your rabbit may pull at its stitches or rub up against it because of itching or irritation. Fold up a small dish towel, and lay it over the stitches. Use an elastic ACE bandage or gauze wrap to secure it to the rabbit’s body. As long as your rabbit can breathe, it will be fine. If you don’t have an elastic bandage, you can cut off a band from the leg of a pair of tights. Your vet will prescribe a pain medication for your rabbit. Follow their directions, and make sure that the rabbit is receiving the correct dose of medication at the right time. This is especially important when spaying females as it is a more painful surgery than neutering. Your rabbit may be given a pill or an injection that you will have to administer. If you do not feel comfortable injecting your rabbit, ask ahead of time for pills.  Your rabbit may be hesitant to  swallow a pill. You can try hiding the pill in some food. You can also dissolve the pill in a little bit of water and use a feeding syringe to give the bunny its medication through the side of its mouth. Pain medication injections are given to rabbits subcutaneously. This means that the shot only has to penetrate the rabbit's skin. If you are prescribed injections, ask your vet to teach you how to properly give the injection. Ask your vet when they last gave your rabbit pain medication. It is common for vets to give your rabbit a dose right before they leave for home. Return to your vet when instructed to have the stitches removed. This generally takes place ten days after the surgery. The vet will check the rabbit over to make sure that they have healed properly. Tell your vet if you notice:  Bloody or pus-filled incisions An open wound or stitches Diarrhea A lack of energy or a refusal to leave the corner of the cage A “Tooth-grinding” noise Loss of body heat Drainage or swelling near the testicles (for males)

TL;DR in English: Wrap a band around its stomach. Give your rabbit its medication. Plan a follow-up visit.

TL;DR in English:


Wash your hands thoroughly. Chill the eggs (optional). Set up three bowls. Crack the egg. Let the whites drip through your fingers. Drop the yolk into the last bowl.

Hold your four dominant fingers together and hit the head of the tambourine in the top or bottom third of the tambourine. Play a simple standard strike to whatever beat or rhythm the accompanying music requires. Striking the tambourine in the center usually produces a muddled tone. Hold the tambourine in your non-dominant hand and hit the head with a snare drumstick. Use more pressure while you hit the head for a louder sound and vice versa for softer. Hold the tambourine at a slight angle from horizontal, and curl your four dominant fingers into a fist. Press your thumb against the tambourine's head and drag it in a circular motion. This should cause the zils, or metal cymbals, to make a sustained jingling sound. Thumb rolls are ideal for short jingling sounds but, if you need something longer than a few seconds, a shake roll will work better. Hold the tambourine vertically in front of you and twist it back and forth with your non-dominant hand. Shake it as quickly or as slowly as you want depending on the rhythm you're trying to achieve.

TL;DR in English: Try a standard strike. Beat a snare drumstick against the tambourine for a louder sound. Do a thumb roll for a continuous sound instead of a rhythm. Use a shake roll for longer periods of time than a thumb roll.

Different materials require different types of paint, and plastic typically needs a special type of spray paint. The wrong type of paint may blister, bubble, flake, or just won’t adhere properly to the surface. Look for spray paints that are specifically formulated for plastic surfaces, or that are suitable for plastics. Companies that make spray paint for plastic include Krylon, Valspar, and Rustoleum.

TL;DR in English: Choose the right paint.

Scrub your hands with hot, running water and unscented soap, then rinse them off. Besides washing away dirt, this will remove skin oils that can prevent whites from fluffing. Cold yolks are less likely to break than warm ones, and easier to separate from the white. If you store your eggs in the fridge, separate them right after taking them out. If you store them at room temperature, you can put them in the fridge half an hour before you cook — though it's not a big deal if you forget. Most recipes call for whites or yolks at room temperature. You can warm chilled, separated egg by placing the bowls of yolks and whites in a pan of warm water (not hot) for 5–10 minutes. If you're only separating a couple eggs, you only need two bowls. But if you're separating many eggs, get another bowl to crack the whole egg into. This way, if you break the yolk, you've only lost one egg instead of ruining a whole bowl of whites. The faster method is to crack all the eggs into one bowl and lift out the yolks one by one. It's best to leave this until you've had some practice, since one broken yolk will ruin all your whites. Crack the egg carefully into the first bowl, taking care not to break the yolk. If you can, you can crack the egg gently, then drop it right into your cupped palm instead — or even crack it in one hand.  If you have trouble with shell fragments in your egg, try cracking it against a flat countertop instead of the edge of the bowl. If a bit of shell falls into your egg, pick it out with your fingers, without breaking the yolk. It's easier to get it out with half of the shell, but that increases the risk of salmonella contamination. Reach into the bowl and cup a yolk, lifting it up. Move your hand over to the second bowl and separate your fingers slightly, letting the whites drip through. Use your other hand to gently pull down thick strands of white if it doesn't fall on its own. If there is still white attached to the yolk, pass it back and forth between your hands until most of the white has dripped into...

Peel the banana first, then slice it in half lengthwise. Place the two banana halves into a long, slender serving dish, with the pointed ends facing up. If you froze the yogurt, remove it from the muffin liners first, then set it between the banana slices. If you are using regular yogurt, use a spoon to scoop it into the dish, placing it between the banana halves. Dark chocolate or semi-sweet would taste the best, but you can also try milk chocolate or even white chocolate. For an even healthier banana split, omit the chocolate chips altogether.

TL;DR in English: Place the banana into a serving dish. Set the yogurt between the two banana slices. Add a sprinkle of chocolate chips, if desired.

overhanging your home so squirrels can’t get to your roof. Check the area around your roof for branches that allow easy access to your roof. Then, use a chainsaw to remove the branches, effectively cutting off access to your attic.  Squirrels will use tree branches as a bridge to your attic. They may even live in the tree most of the time but venture into your attic for nesting supplies or comfort during bad weather. If you aren’t experienced in cutting tree branches, hire a professional to do it. Not only could you get injured, you could also accidentally cause damage to your roof. Check both the exterior and interior of your home for visible holes. Then, use animal-resistant patches to cover the holes, which will prevent the squirrels from coming through them.  If you’re not sure how to repair the holes, hire a general contractor to do it for you. They’ll also be able to double check that every hole is covered. Ask around for a referral to a good general contractor, or conduct an online search to find one in your area. Secure the mesh screen by screwing it down. This prevents the squirrels from entering your attic through the vents.  These screens will not interfere with the effectiveness of your vents. A general contractor can also help you install the mesh screens, if you’re having trouble doing it yourself. Use a combination of mesh screens, plaster, and caulk to over any gaps around your wiring or plumbing fixtures. This helps reduce the risk of the squirrels squeezing though the holes or gnawing around the gaps to make them bigger.  Since squirrels are rodents, they can squeeze through very small holes. Additionally, they can gnaw around an existing hole to make it larger. As with the other repair jobs, you may want to hire a general contractor to take care of this for you. Measure the perimeter of the top of your chimney, called the crown, as well as the size of your flue. Purchase a chimney cap or mesh screen that is larger than the flue but smaller than the crown. Clean the top of your chimney to...

TL;DR in English: Cut tree branches Repair any holes in the exterior of your home. Cover air intake and exhaust vents with a mesh screen. Apply seals around electrical wiring and plumbing fixtures so squirrels can’t enter. Put a chimney cap or wire mesh over your chimney. Create a one-way exit hole if you think squirrels remain. Bait the end of the tunnel if you want to speed up the process.

So, a lot of people’s lives look something like this: you work a lot so you can make a decent amount of money, and then you use that money to buy a whole bunch of stuff. You buy the stuff, the money runs out, and back to work you go to rinse and repeat. If you’re having a hard time getting control of your life and your time, then chances are, one of the things you’re doing is working too much. Now, if you cut down on the spending, then you might feel less pressure to keep working so hard or for so many hours, and you’d have more of that free time you want so badly. Here are some tips for minimizing your spending while still having a great life:  Do you really need a car? Is all the time you spend running maintenance on the car, giving rides to people, and trying to find a parking spot everywhere you go really worth it? Wouldn’t your life be easier if you were more dependent on your own two feet and the bus schedule? If so, then it may be time to let go of your favorite vehicle. Do you really need five new outfits every month? Instead of just indiscriminately buying a bunch of new outfits every time you go shopping, focus on quality over quantity. Buy a high quality sweater, a well-fitting pair of pants, and a sturdy scarf that will go with everything so that you leave with a few key items that are made to last. Sure, they may not cost that much less than piles of cheaper new clothes, but they will keep you from having to shop as often as you do. Going out to eat is one of the biggest wastes of money. Try not to go out to eat or order takeout more than once or twice a week and spend more money on high-quality ingredients that can make home cooking more fun and delicious. You may think that multi-tasking is a great way to get your work done faster and to make the most of your time, but the truth is that multi-tasking will actually make all of your work take longer. Additionally, if you’re multi-tasking, then the quality of your work will go down because you won’t be able to be fully immersed in any one task....

Make sure you have a good idea of what you're going to sell. If you're going to sell a product, make sure you know what you're going to sell. If you're going to sell a product, make sure you know what you're going to sell. Make sure you know what you're going to

Start making your product. Test, test, and then test some more. Apply for a tax identification number.

Purchase business software for your home computer or laptop that will allow you to keep an organized database of inventory, invoices and accounting.

It's best to go with a pair that fits you snugly around the hips. Stretchy denim works well.  Wear them inside-out. Take a crayon or marker, and draw a line on both legs to show how tight you want them to be. Remember to make the line on the inside so when you wear them you can't see the seams on the outside of the leg. Make sure you draw the line on the opposite side of the manufacturer's original seam. You can use pins to tack, but you might end up poking yourself or the pins might end up coming out when you take the jeans off. As an alternative, take a pair of skinny jeans you already own as a guide. Spread out the pair you want to reconstruct inside-out and lay the skinny jeans on top (lining up the crotch). Make sure the seam is evenly on the edge (of both pairs) and take your chalk down the side of your pants, starting about mid-thigh, mirroring the line of the skinnies. Iron your jeans first to make everything easier. Flat, unwrinkled jeans are easier to work with. Walk around in them to see that the legs fit well, or you may want to jog a little -- sometimes jeans can come loose if you start moving around, in which case you'll need to tighten them. If you're unhappy, remove the stitches. But if they're tight, short, and spaced closely so that there are no bumps in your jeans and the stitches won't be pulled out in the wash, you're good to go. Work over each stitch as perfectly and as carefully as you can -- there's nothing worse than having a brand new pair of skinny jeans for one day and then having the stitches all pulled out the next. This will be hard work, but it is essential. Cut any excess fabric if necessary (use a zigzag stitch beforehand) or go over it with a serger, which will seal off the edge and cut off the fabric at the same time. However, you might want to wear and wash your jeans at least once before you start cutting them up, in case you want to go back and fix something later on.

TL;DR in English: Put on your jeans to get an idea of the shape you want. Try on your jeans to see if they fit. Go over the seam again with a much shorter stitch.

Not every image makes a good, or feasible, stencil. A single-overlay image is a great way to start out for someone new to fabric painting. This means that you’ll transfer the image onto, and use, a single sheet of stencil. Basic silhouettes work best or pictures with deep contrasts. If you are adapting a design, make sure it will work as a stencil. Take time to plan how you will cut and try to plan only one overlay. If you plan to include writing, go online and look at various fonts. It’s easiest to find a shape or image that fits your piece of fabric right away and doesn’t require any adjustments. However, it is possible to shrink or enlarge an image before making your stencil. Print out the image and then use a copier’s zoom function to adjust and reproduce it. You could also look at the image on your computer and use a design program to change the size. Acetate is a thin plastic that is often used for transparencies on overhead projectors. Lay your sheet of acetate on top of a piece of wood or glass. Place the image for your stencil on top of the acetate and then cut around the negative space (the areas you want to paint) with a sharp matte knife. Lift everything up and you will have an acetate stencil that you can use for fabrics. Acetate sheets come in different thicknesses. A thin sheet will be flexible and can mold more easily to moveable fabrics, but it will be easier to tear. A thicker sheet will be tougher to cut, but is more durable. A vinyl sheet is a great option for stenciling, as it is sturdy with a sticky backing that can hold onto a fabric. Lay your vinyl down flat. Smooth or iron it out to remove any wrinkles. Place your image on top and use a matte knife to cut out the vinyl in all of the to-be-painted places. Many online craft shops also offer vinyl stencils for sale. Cut down a piece of freezer paper to roughly the same size as your image. On a solid and sturdy surface, place your image underneath the freezer paper sheet. The shiny, waxy side of the freezer paper should face downward, the...

TL;DR in English: Choose a single-overlay stencil. Select a stencil of the right size. Make a stencil from acetate if you want a reusable option. Make a vinyl stencil if you want a bendable option. Make a freezer paper stencil if you want a quick option. Make a laminated printed stencil if you want a computer-based option.

Very few retailers successfully buy wholesale and then flip the product(s) without changing it in some significant way. What you'll probably find yourself doing is buying the raw materials from a supplier or host of suppliers and then spending time and manpower fashioning your product into reality. You may think you've got a really reliable product on your hands, but no one is as discerning as the customer. The customer uses the product, sometimes on a daily basis, sometimes the "wrong way." The customer is constantly asking herself, "did I get my money's worth?" Testing your product on focus groups, friends, or even (especially) strangers might give you insight into how to make it even better. Say, for example, that you order 100 vegetable peelers wholesale, stick your name on them, and then sell them with a 100% markup. That's not necessarily a bad idea if you can get swift sales. But what if the vegetable peelers dissolve under hot water, and a week into your new sales venture, you've got dozens of angry customers whose dishwashers have been ruined by the peeler? If you had tested them, you'd know they weren't a good product. If you hadn't tested them, you'd be giving refunds, losing money and having your brand take a hit. A tax ID will allow the government to set up taxes associated with your sales. In most cases, you'll need to register your tax ID number in each state you plan on selling your goods. This makes it easier for you to track your profit and expenses, though you can transfer your earnings into your personal account once your records have been noted.  This also makes things a whole lot easier come tax season, when you need to be exact about what expenses you had and how much you were paid. Link a PayPal account to your business bank account in order to make online transactions more efficient. It may sound boring, but boring is better than fines or jail time when the IRS comes auditing. You may choose to hire an accountant or bookkeeper to track these records for you.

Purchase a quality leather conditioner. Squeeze the leather conditioner onto a clean cloth. Spread the conditioner over the surface of the leather. Condition your leather goods regularly.

Before you mop your travertine floor, you will want to make sure you remove any loose dirt or debris from the floor’s surface. Try using a dust mop made of microfiber to remove loose dirt. Carefully read the directions on the label of the travertine-friendly floor cleanser. Add the cleanser to a bucket of warm water, according to the directions on the label. If using mild dish soap, add a small squirt of soap to the bucket. Place the mop in the bucket of water and cleaning solution. Then lift the mop from the bucket and wring out the mop. Make sure you wring out as much water from the mop as possible. After wringing out the mop, use side-to-side motions to mop the floor. Begin at one side of the floor and systematically mop your way to the other side. Rinse the mop in the cleaning solution frequently, thoroughly wringing out the mop after rinsing. If you are mopping a large area, make a fresh bucket of cleaning solution after cleaning half of the floor area. After mopping the floor with cleaning solution, you will want to rinse it with fresh water. Dump the cleaning solution down the drain and fill the bucket with fresh, clean water. Mop the floor with the clean water. Fill the bucket with fresh water about halfway through and continue mopping. After you mop the floors with clean water, you will want to dry them. This will prevent streaks and smudges from forming on the floor as the water dries. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth made of cotton or microfiber to thoroughly dry the floors.

If you must sit at school and/or work, then move your legs and body about, but not constantly like a pendulum. Get up and go to the pencil sharpener, if possible. Step outside during your lunch break or walk to get a drink of water. If you want to get in shape but you’re too busy to hit the gym, you need to at least get yourself up and active. Walk. Park on the far side of the parking area. There are lots of ways to do such things, and they don’t need to be very time consuming or costly at all.  Make a point of taking the stairs rather than an elevator when going home or to work (split between stairs and elevator if you need to go up very high). Get a standing or treadmill desk, or use an exercise ball instead of a desk chair. Go ahead, listen to your favorite TV shows -- but don’t just sit there watching. Cook, fold laundry, empty the dishwasher or ride a stationary bike. Do a step routine/step up/step down (repeatedly) for a good while. Do squats while waiting for your food to cook. Walk around on your tiptoes, in a duck posture or in a semi-squatting position. . Aerobic exercises are those that get your heart-rate up the most. They will improve your body’s ability to handle physical exertion and make you healthier. Aerobic exercises will help you lose any weight, if that is your goal but exercising like this will be absolutely required, if you want to get in shape.  You can bike, which is a great way to work out and get yourself outside. Try  jogging or speed walking, either of which is an easy exercise to take up and is free! You can swim, which is a great way to work out your whole body. If you want to get in shape, you will need to get in some activity at least every other day. You can’t expect results when you exercise inconsistently and infrequently. Have a plan and follow it. Don't try to work out every day of the week. You should work in at least 2 or 3 rest days total per week. Give your body time to rest and build muscle! Your resting time is essential. Studies show if you have someone else...

The oils in the conditioner will lubricate the porous leather, allowing it to flex and bend with your body with greater ease. And, unlike homespun oil treatments, they won’t compromise the durability of the material or leave behind a greasy patina.  If you’re willing to spend a little more money, you can also spring for a complete leather maintenance package. These kits often include other products that are useful for extending the lifespan of your leather goods, such as neatsfoot oil, leather milk, and protective beeswax for waterproofing. Avoid using natural alternatives like olive or coconut oil. While these can help relax leather in the short term, they have a tendency to absorb deep into the material. Over time, they can lead to permanent discoloration or more serious cracking and deterioration. Fold the cloth over the tip of your finger so that only one small corner is exposed. Use this corner to soak up a small amount of conditioner. That way, you can ensure that you’re getting just the right amount.  When it comes to leather products, less is more. You just want to treat the surface of the leather, not give it a bath.  Don’t apply the product directly to the leather. Not only is this a recipe for a giant mess, it also makes it harder to distribute the conditioner consistently. Rub the conditioner in smooth, wide strokes or circles, working your way slowly over a broader area. Aim for a single thin coating. The leather should have a faint sheen to it, but not appear wet or oversaturated.  Leather conditioners are safe enough to use on every part of the item’s exterior, but you could also focus your attention where it’s needed most, such as the elbows of a jacket or the toe or ankle area of a boot. There’s no need to rub on multiple coats. Any additional conditioner you apply will just accumulate on the surface. Repeat the process at least once every few months to keep your clothing and accessories in top shape. With each application, the stubborn material will grow more and more supple.  If you live...

Rats are not picky eaters—you can use just about any type of edible item as rodent bait, including meats, cheeses, fish, moldy bread, and produce that’s past its prime. Sweet offerings like fruit are among their favorites, particularly berries. Rats prefer foods with strong odors,

Leave some food sitting out. Entice rats with grains and seeds. Give outdoor rodents access to your garbage. Look for rats around leaf and compost piles. Employ a chemical rat attractant.

After a venomous snakebite, your cat will become lethargic and may start vomiting. She will probably start to become very weak and collapse. In addition, her muscles may begin to twitch and her pupils will start to dilate. As more time passes after the snakebite, she could exhibit even more serious signs, such as seizures, paralysis, and shock.  Signs of shock include rapid shallow breathing, hypothermia, and a rapid heart rate.  Because of the amount of pain she is in, she may also be more vocal. Do not wait to see if your cat shows symptoms of a snakebite. If you saw the snake bite your cat, or if you see the bite wound, take your cat to the veterinarian immediately. The onset of clinical signs after a snakebite is usually rapid—within a few minutes to an hour of being bitten. If your cat shows no clinical signs after 60 minutes, then the snake's venom likely did not enter her system.  Your cat may not exhibit these clinical signs if she has been bitten by a nonvenomous snake. However, you should still take her to your veterinarian for treatment and monitoring. In order to give the appropriate antivenin, it would be helpful for your veterinarian to know the species of the attacking snake. In the US, the most common venomous snakes are rattlesnakes, water moccasins, copperheads, and coral snakes.  If you witnessed the attack, stay calm and take note of the color, length, and pattern of the snake. For your safety, do not approach the snake to get a closer look. Do not try to kill the snake. You will put yourself in more danger of being bitten by approaching the snake and trying to kill it. Venomous snakes have slit-like pupils (similar to a cat), whereas non-venomous snakes have round pupils (like people). There are exceptions, however. For instance, the venomous coral snake has round pupils. If you are not able to identify the snake or do not know if it is venomous, assume that it is venomous. The negative effects on the cardiovascular system can cause your cat to go into shock.

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to your cat’s clinical signs. Try to identify the species of snake that bit your cat.

If soda has spilled inside your car’s plastic cup holders, buy a cleaner specify formulated for the plastic insides of your car. Spray this cleaner into the cup holders, then scrub at the soda stain with a toothbrush. After scrubbing, stuff paper towels or a clean rag into the cup holder and wipe away the cleaner and stain.  If you can’t find a car cleaner, use an all-purpose cleaning spray, a 1/1 solution of white vinegar and water, or soapy water.  If the stain is particularly large or old, you may have to repeat this process several times to completely remove the stain. Use baby wipes or cleaning wipes to spot clean the inside of sticky cup holders. This is a good step to take if you have already done an initial cleaning but are left with individual trouble spots in your cup holders. To clean, rub the baby wipe or cleaning wipe on the stain until it has been rubbed away. If you have spilled your soda onto the plastic sidings of the car or the car door, use ammonia-free glass cleaner to remove the stain. Spray a few sprays of the glass cleaner onto a clean rag or paper towel, then wipe away the stain. Don’t use glass cleaner with ammonia, as this can bleach the plastic.

TL;DR in English: Use cleaning spray and a toothbrush to clean cup holders. Spot clean the cup holders with a baby wipe. Use glass cleaner to clean plastic car sidings.

Rats aren't picky eaters—you can use just about any type of edible item as rodent bait, including meats, cheeses, fish, moldy bread, and produce that’s past its prime. Sweet offerings like fruit are among their favorites, particularly berries. Rats prefer foods with strong odors, which they use to sniff out a meal. For this reason, spoiled items may be more effective for drawing them out than fresh ones. Set out an open sack of flour or bucket of rotting feed. Grains, nuts, and other plant-based nibbles provide rats with a lot of energy, which is why it’s no coincidence that they can often be found in places like pantries and storage sheds. It’s not uncommon to spot rats lurking near bird feeders or bags of grass seed. If you have an overflowing trash can or dumpster outside, you may not need to do anything special to whip a community of hidden rats into a frenzy. The mixture of rotting food items in the average waste receptacle is like a buffet for a hungry rodent.  Let your trash sit out for an extra day or two before having it hauled off so it’s extra smelly. Your garbage will become a rat magnet in the sweltering summer months, when the heat speeds decomposition. Rake the scattered leaves, twigs, and weeds from around your property into mounds and wait for the furry invaders to pour in. Rats often seek shelter in these places or make off with small pieces of debris to build their nests. Situate leaf piles and compost heaps next to the tree line or close to dark or confined spaces. Rats are more likely to venture into these areas than those that are out in the open. Squeeze a few drops of rat attractant around the area where you want to lure and trap rats. These products use natural compounds to mimic the scent of rat saliva. Any rats that happen to be passing by will pick up on the smell and think there’s something edible nearby.  You can buy rat attractant from most pet stores, or in the pest control aisle of your local home improvement center. A little bit of rat attractant goes a long way. Hints of the...

Talk to your doctor about your goals. Set realistic goals for yourself. Educate yourself about the risks of a model’s lifestyle.

When it’s cold out, it’s time to switch up your night clothes. Swap out cotton for some flannel pajamas. You can buy flannel tops and bottoms, as well as night shirts. Flannel is a great insulator that will help you retain your body heat. Look for a fun or cute print to liven up your flannel wardrobe. Looser is generally better when it comes to sleepwear. You probably move around during your sleep, and it’s best to wear clothing that will easily move with you. Look for loose clothing, but make sure you won't get tangled up in it if you toss and turn. If you wear pajama pants, make sure that the elastic is loose and breathable. Your feet might be one of the coldest parts of your body. To help keep your whole body toasty, keep your feet warm by sleeping in socks. Choose socks that feel comfortable to you. Make sure they’re not too big or floppy. You don’t want them coming off in the middle of the night! If flannel doesn’t seem to be keeping you warm enough, consider adding additional layers of clothing. You could try a thermal t-shirt underneath your pajama top. You can also add a pair of form fitting leggings underneath your pants or night shirt. If you get cold during the night, add another layer. If you get too hot, just peel one off. A lot of your body heat can escape through your head. If you’re really cold, consider wearing a hat to bed. You can wear a ski cap or even a hunter’s style cap with ear flaps. Whatever feels good to you is the right hat. You could choose to wrap a scarf around your head (not your face) as an alternative to a hat.

TL;DR in English: Wear flannel pajamas. Pay attention to fit. Wear socks. Try layers. Cover your head.

Separate the strips by pulling them apart. Align the shapes of the strips, with the red labels facing outward on each side. Push the strips together until you hear a click. Peel off one of the red (or green, depending on your product) liners. Place the strip sticky-side down onto the back of the frame. Press the strip down firmly.  Repeat this step for each strip you want to apply to the frame. For example, you may want to use two to four strips per frame. If you’re using four strips for a frame, put the lowest pair approximately two-thirds of the way down from the frame’s top. Make sure all of the liners are removed. Push the frame against the wall strongly. Hold it firmly for 30 seconds. Hold the bottom of the frame. Lift it gently towards you and upwards. Press the entire length of the strips for 30 seconds each. Don’t yank the frame straight towards you, or you’ll loosen the strips instead of detaching the frame from the wall. Don’t reattach the frame until an hour has passed. Afterwards, align the frame’s strips with the strips on the wall. Push the frame until all of the strips have clicked into place. Leaving the frame off of the wall for an hour gives the adhesive time to bond to the wall. If the frame isn’t straight, you can remove one or more strips. Hold the bottom two corners of the frame and lift it up and away. Reposition the strip(s) as desired. Hold the top of the strip you want to reposition with one hand. With your other hand, pinch the strip at the bottom and pull it downwards. Stretch it slowly, straight down – up to 15 inches – until the strip releases from the wall.

TL;DR in English: Snap the strips together. Attach the strips to the back of the picture frame. Adhere the frame to the wall. Remove the frame to secure the underlying strips. Let the strips cure for at least an hour. Readjust the strips if needed.

Losing weight, and maintaining your ideal body weight once you achieve it, can be very difficult.  Depending on your current weight and health status, a strict diet and exercise regimen can also create potential health risks.  Talk to your doctor before starting any new weight loss regimen.  Your doctor can help you set healthy weight loss goals and suggest safe strategies for losing weight. Your doctor might also be able to refer you to a registered dietitian or fitness professional who can help you create and achieve realistic goals. Everyone’s body is different. Weight loss can be more difficult (and potentially unhealthy) for some people than for others.  Before trying to achieve a runway model physique, give some serious thought to what sorts of weight-loss goals you can reasonably attain.  Aim for goals that are SMART  ""Specific"".  Plan out exactly how much exercise you are going to do each week, or how many calories you are going to consume every day. ""Measurable"".  Keeping your goals measurable will help you pinpoint how successful you are at meeting them.  For example, while you can’t measure a goal like “eating healthier,” you can definitely measure a goal like “eating 1,200 calories per day.” ""Attainable"".  Consider whether you have the time, resources, and physical ability to meet your goals.  Are your daily exercise goals compatible with your work schedule?  Do your diet plans meet your specific health/nutritional needs? ""Realistic"".  There is only so much weight that you can safely lose in a given amount of time.  Talk to your doctor or dietitian about what kind of weight loss you can realistically hope to attain. ""Trackable"".  You should be able to measure your progress in some way, whether it is through weekly weigh-ins or keeping a diary of your physical activity and calorie intake every day. Keep in mind that models often take extreme and dangerous measures to lose or maintain weight.  Models are at high risk for developing physical and psychological problems as a result of the...

In most instances, creditors and lenders want to see a debt-to-income ratio of 36 percent or less. If your debt-to-income ratio is higher than this percentage, you might have difficulty securing a loan until after that percentage drops.  A ratio of 19 percent or less is ideal, and if you can secure this level of financial security, you should have very little problem securing loans or taking on new credit. A ratio between 20 and 36 percent or less will usually be deemed healthy enough to secure a loan from most lenders, but you should begin cutting back once you . If your debt-to-income ratio is between 37 and 42 percent, you are in a state of minor financial crisis and may not be able to get any loans or new lines of credit. At a ratio between 43 and 49 percent, you will likely begin seeing financial difficulties in your everyday life in the near future. If your ratio is 50 percent or higher, you need to seek professional help to quickly reduce your debt. These are terms that are used when you are looking to secure a mortgage loan. Front-end debt ratios only use proposed monthly housing expenses, while back-end debt ratios use all existing debt and any new projected monthly mortgage payments.  For most purposes, you should look at your back-end debt. Many lenders will usually look at front-end debt, but as a borrower, you should look at both front-end and back-end debt to determine how much you can actually afford regarding new loans and credit. Front-end debt-to-income ratios are also known as housing-expense-to-income ratios. This percentage should be at or below 28 percent, while a back-end debt-to-income ratio should be at or below 36 percent. If your debt-to-income ratio is higher than you would like it to be, you can help lower it by implementing lifestyle changes that decrease your debt levels.  Increase the amount of money you pay toward your debts. If you can manage it, make extra payments toward your loan, house, car, or any other debt for which there is a principle you must pay off in addition to...

this is a failure-to-fire (FTF) malfunction. You pull the trigger and you get a "click" instead of a "boom." This is the simplest type of malfunction, the most common type, and the easiest to fix: just tap, rack/flip. a failure-to-eject is a common problem on older 1911s and other guns with shorter ejectors. This type of malfunction is affectionately known as a "stovepipe." The symptom of this malfunction is a "dead trigger" (no click, just a little bit of movement), and most likely some brass sticking out of your ejection port (but not necessarily), and the slide is not completely in battery (all the way forward). Fix it using the same method at a Type-1 malfunction: tap, rack/flip. this is known as "the Mother Of All Malfunctions" (MOAM) by some. This is a feed-way stoppage, which means that too much brass is in the chamber at the same time.  If you do get a type-3 malfunction under fire, many pistol masters will tell you just to grab for your back-up. Of course, if that is not an option you should find cover before executing the clearing. To clear: grab your slide and lock it back (this is optional on many handguns). Press the magazine eject, grab the magazine and throw it to the ground ("strip" it). Grab the slide again and rack it hard three times. Reach for a fresh magazine, put it in the gun (same as the tactical reload) and rack the slide one more time to load a round into the chamber. You can also learn to keep the magazine you have in your gun, read this. this is pretty uncommon, and if it ever happens to you when you are practicing with your gun at the range, throw the gun away and get a different model! This malfunction is when the slide does not go back into battery after firing. This might happen because your guide rod or guide rails are really gummed up (to the point where it looks as if there is a wad of Juicy Fruit in there), your guide spring is too weak or your chamber design is bad. Either way, modern semi-automatic pistols should never have this happen. A gunsmith (or you) may be able to...

In the United States, the term “otaku” is usually reserved for people who are hardcore anime or manga fans, but in Japan, “otaku” basically defines anyone who is a hardcore fan of any one interest. Even if the otaku girl in your life is a huge anime fan, it helps to know which series and genres she's most interested in.  The Japanese concept of “otaku” is similar to the American idea of a fangirl (or fanboy), geek, or nerd. A person could be an anime otaku or game otaku, but someone could also be something like a train otaku. Anyone who loves something enough to obsess over it can be labeled as an “otaku.” The American concept of “otaku” tends to be someone who is obsessed with some part of Japanese pop culture or Asian pop culture in general. Anime, manga, and computer games are the most notable obsessions, but an otaku could also obsess over J-Pop music or Korean dramas. Simply knowing the title of her favorite series isn't enough. If you really want to impress your otaku girl, you should do a little research into her favorites so that you know what they're all about. You don't need to love everything she loves, but you should have a basic enough understanding to follow along with her rants when she starts talking about one of her passions. Another advantage to your research is that you'll learn more about the type of things she loves, rather than knowing only a few examples. Most otaku girls will branch out from their original obsessions and latch onto things related to them. If you learn enough about what interests her, you may eventually be able to introduce her to something else she'd enjoy, which will definitely leave her feeling impressed with you. Take her to places that cater to her passions. Give her gifts that are related to the things she loves. Otaku girls like to be romanced, but standard “cookie cutter” actions only scratch the surface and fail to address her as an individual.  Keep in mind that your gifts do not need to be expensive to make an impression. As a general rule, otaku girls tend...

TL;DR in English: Know her passions. Do your research. Impress her by acknowledging those interests. Do not look down on her or expect her to change. Compliment her. Notice her other quirks. Don't push her too far out of her comfort zone.

To quote a song worth kissing to, “If you think that is a kiss is all in the lips, come on, you’ve got it all wrong.”  The intensity of a kiss is determined by so much more than the kiss itself, and eye contact is where many kisses begin.  Intentionally pause right before impact for a moment of pure and unadulterated eye contact. A powerful moment of eye contact can actually be the breaking point of passion, pulling you in to one another for a kiss that is already unforgettable. Break eye contact by looking at their lips. Let them know what you’re thinking about with your eyes. This is harder than you think.  The better the kiss, the worse your memory.  That said, oxygen-deprivation is a far-too-common reason that kisses do not achieve their full potential.  Make breathing breaks sexy by allowing your partner to feel your breath, though only barely. Evince your nervous energy and excitement with flattering exhalations. It’s a deeply gratifying feeling to literally take someone’s breath away. If someone takes yours, make sure they know it. The impact made the first time your lips meet someone else’s can be completely and incredibly disorienting.  Allow gravity to fall away by letting your lips linger on your partner’s skin. Time and space will distort accordingly.  That said, don’t hold back.  Don’t feel as though you should hesitate and let your partner lead, unless this is what you want and have been clear about your desires. If you’re interested, act like it and initiate! Immerse yourself fully in every kiss, but especially the first few times your lips touch one another’s. Allow yourself the freedom and enjoyment of fully enjoy another person’s affection. When you pull away, your eyes will already be sharing exactly how you felt about the endeavor, and you’ll already have forgotten everything else about your day.

TL;DR in English: Make eye contact. Remember to breathe. Take your time.

Many people eat as much as 3,500 mg of sodium per day. The DASH diet, which is short for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, recommends no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. Sodium is in salt, so the best way to reduce your sodium intake is to eat less salt. You can do this by:  Not adding table salt to your food. This may also include reducing the amount of salt you use when cooking. Easy ways to do this include not salting meats and not adding salt to the water when you cook rice or pasta. Avoiding salty snacks and processed food such as chips, pretzels, and salted nuts. They often have large amounts of salt added to them. If you do purchase prepared foods, look to see if you can get a low-salt version. Check the contents of canned food, premixed seasonings, bouillon cubes, canned soups, jerkies, and sports drinks to see if they have salt added to them. Whole grains are better than processed white rice or processed white flour because they have more fiber and nutrients. A serving is a slice of bread or a half a cup of cooked rice or pasta. You can eat more whole grains by:  Buying whole wheat flour and pasta instead of white. Many whole wheat bread products will say on the packaging that they are whole wheat. Oatmeal and brown rice are also excellent sources of nutrients and fiber. You should eat four to five servings of fruit and four to five servings of vegetables each day. A serving is a half a cup of leafy vegetables or a ½ cup of cooked vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are great sources of potassium and magnesium which help to lower your blood pressure. Excellent ways to get your fruits and vegetables include:  Eating salads with your meals. You can keep them interesting by varying what you put in them. You can add a sweet element by putting apple or orange slices on a salad. Leave on the peels of thin-skinned fruits like apples because they also contain nutrients. You can also go more traditional with fresh greens, carrots, and tomatoes. But go easy on the salad dressings: they often have a...

Most razors come with an added moisture or lubricating strip. These strips tend to be loaded with chemicals and other ingredients—yes, razors have ingredients! However, you can find razors that are more natural. Look for a razor that does not have the moisture strip. An alternative would be to purchase razors that have it and then peel or otherwise remove the strip yourself. Common store brands for shaving creams and gels are also full of chemicals and toxic products. Look for a more natural brand, or make it yourself.  Brands such as Dr. Bronner's, Garden of Eve, and Kiss My Face are known for making more natural shaving products. For homemade shaving cream, you can simply use coconut oil or another carrier oil, like sweet almond oil or sesame oil. You can also look into homemade mixtures. There are some body parts that men and women commonly shave:  Women commonly shave their legs, underarms, and bikini areas. Some women also shave their arms. Men commonly shave their beards, mustaches, and chests. There are some reports that people should not shave certain areas, like their arms, because the hair will grow back faster and thicker. However, scientists have proven this to be untrue. In a thin layer, spread your shaving product over the body part you are shaving. Be sure you have enough to protect your skin from nicks and cuts, especially since your razor does not have a moisture strip. Pull your razor up the body part that you are shaving in one long motion. Continue to do this repeatedly until you have shaved the entire area.  Frequently rinse the excess shaving product and shaved hair from your razor so that you get a clean, smooth shave all around. Take your time and go slowly. You are more likely to get a shaving nick or cut whenever you rush and forget to take care on areas like your ankles and knees. When you are done shaving the entire body part or area that you want shaved, rinse it and then check for any spots you missed while shaving. Dab a little bit of shaving cream or gel on that spot and touch...

Consider what the guest of honor likes and use that as basis for a party theme. If you're throwing a party for a kid, the theme might be their favorite toy or story. For an older guest of honor, choose a theme based on the person's hobbies or interest. For example, if you are planning to surprise your girlfriend, throw a party based on her favorite movie. You could instruct the guests to dress as characters from the film. Keep in mind that you'll also need to plan food, decorations, and activities around the theme. So if you're throwing a luau-themed party, try to throw the party at the beach or set up tropical decorations. Serve tiki drinks and set out leis for the guests. You can host the party almost anywhere. The location should be large enough to accommodate all of the guests. So if you want a big surprise party, you might want to rent a community hall. But if you're throwing a surprise party with a dozen people, you could easily have it at a nice restaurant.  For example, you can have the party at the honoree's house, at your place, at a restaurant, at a park, or anywhere you think your guest of honor wouldn't expect. If you'll be renting a space, learn about what sound systems are available and ask about their policies on food and decor. While you can throw the surprise party on the honoree's birthday, you might surprise them even more if you throw it a day or two in advance. You'll need to choose a time and date that works for most of the guests and you'll need to ensure that the honoree is also available.  Consider asking the honoree if they want to get together to hang out at the time you're thinking of planning the party. If they tell you they have other plans, you'll need to reschedule the party. Avoid throwing the surprise party after the person's actual birthday or they might think you forgot their big day. People expect food and drinks at a party. If you're doing a surprise party for kids, you can serve standard birthday party treats (such as punch, cookies, and cupcakes). For an adult birthday...

By default, this is in the Utilities folder, located in the Applications folder. If a normal Force Quit doesn't work, you may need to use this method to end the program. The “top” command displays information about the applications that are currently running. Under the column titled "COMMAND", find the name of the application you wish to quit. The COMMAND list may use a truncated name for the program. Look for a name that looks similar to the program you are trying to close. Once you find the name of program, find the number to the immediate left of it, under the PID column. Make a note of the PID number. This will exit the list of applications and return you to the command line. Replace the "###" with the number from the PID Column you just located. For example: If you were trying to quit iTunes, and found iTunes to have PID number 3703, you would type "kill 3703". If the program does not respond to the “kill” command, type “sudo kill -9 ###”, replacing ### with the PID number. The application should quit and you can be relaunched.

Before you send your album through the necessary channels, you need to make sure that it is polished and presentable. Create album artwork for it, edit all the song titles, and add a description if necessary.  Selling your music on iTunes can be fairly simple even for amateur artists, but you will have a great deal of competition to deal with, and your odds of having success will improve vastly if you make sure that your songs are in top condition. If you have no experience with mastering and do not know how to polish the music up to commercial standards by yourself, hire an engineer or specialist to do it for you. Convert the files to WAV, set at a 44.1 kHz sample rate and 16 bit sample size. You can convert your audio files in iTunes by importing them to the library using the WAV encoder, set to custom settings. You also need cover artwork and complete track credits to submit before an online service will help you add your music to the iTunes store.  You must have rights to the artwork. Aim to make the cover image a JPG file set to 1,000 by 1,000 pixels. Before you can sell your album, it needs to have a UPC code.  Fortunately, obtaining one is pretty easy. You can obtain one by registering directly with the Uniform Code Council, or you can ask a CD manufacturer or distributor if they offer the service. The latter may prove to be a cheaper option. You can also get a UPC online through various online distributors like CD Baby or DiscMakers, and these tend to be even cheaper options. Working with Apple directly usually requires you to have a professional label backing you, or at least enough experience to prove that you are a professional. Even if you do not qualify to work with Apple directly, though, you can still work through a third party. If you weren't able to get through the previous step yourself, get in touch with an aggregator, or a third-party distributing service that allows you to finish and distribute your music for a small fee. Check the Apple iTunes application page for a list of approved...

The following terms will be used throughout the examples, and are common in problems involving algebraic fractions:   Numerator: The top part of a fraction (ie. (x+5)/(2x+3)).  Denominator: The bottom part of the fraction (ie. (x+5)/(2x+3)).  Common Denominator: This is a number that you can divide out of both the top and bottom of a fraction. For example, in the fraction 3/9, the common denominator is 3, since both numbers can be divided by 3.  Factor: One number that multiples to make another. For example, the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15. The factors of 4 are 1, 2, and 4.  Simplified Equation: This involves removing all common factors and grouping similar variables together (5x + x = 6x) until you have the most basic form of a fraction, equation, or problem. If you cannot do anything more to the fraction, it is simplified. These are the exact same steps you will take to solve algebraic fractions.  Take the example, 15/35. In order to simplify a fraction, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, both numbers can be divided by five, so you can remove the 5 from the fraction:  15    →     5 * 335   →       5 * 7 Now you can cross out like terms. In this case you can cross out the two fives, leaving your simplified answer, 3/7. In the previous example, you could easily remove the 5 from 15, and the same principle applies to more complex expressions like, 15x – 5. Find a factor that both numbers have in common. Here, the answer is 5, since you can divide both 15x and -5 by the number five. Like before, remove the common factor and multiply it by what is “left.”15x – 5 = 5 * (3x – 1) To check your work, simply multiply the five back into the new expression – you will end up with the same numbers you started with. The same principle used in common fractions works for algebraic ones as well. This is the easiest way to simplify fractions while you work.  Take the fraction: (x+2)(x-3)(x+2)(x+10) Notice how the term (x+2) is common in both the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom). As such, you can...

TL;DR in English: Know the vocabulary for algebraic fractions. Review how to solve simple fractions. Remove factors from algebraic expressions just like normal numbers. Know you can remove complex terms just like simple ones.

This method will work best for vehicles with a vertical manual lock—meaning a lock that you pull up to unlock or push down to lock. These locks are usually at the top of the door panel just inside the window. This method requires a thin but rigid tool that you can feed between the weatherstripping around the bottom of the window and the glass itself. A wire coat hanger works well, but you must straighten it first. A universal unlock tool or a “slim jim” also work in this case if you’re prone to locking your keys in your car and want to keep one around for future occurrences. If you cannot seem to get any leverage by going beneath the window, you can always try one of the other methods, or you can simply call a locksmith. With the professional assortment of tools a locksmith will have available, they’ll have you back in your car within minutes.

Trampolines need to air dry to complete the cleaning process. A trampoline should never be washed if the forecast predicts rain at any point during the day as this can inhibit the drying process. Mild cleaners work best for trampolines, as they minimize the risk of damage. Never use a cleaner with bleach or pumice, as this can harm your trampoline. Never rent a pressure washer to clean a trampoline. This can damage the fabric. If you don't have a hose, you can use buckets to wet the trampoline.

Take both of your feet out of the stirrups, hold the reins in one hand, and swing off onto the left side of your horse. Put the reins over your horse’s head so that you’re holding them again, and roll up your stirrups and loosen your girth. When you untack your horse, you should first take off all the horse’s tack and put it to the side. Then, repeat the same grooming steps that you completed while you were tacking up your horse. If your horse is sweaty, you might need to rinse it off with a hose in an outdoor “wash stall.” You could also sponge off its back with a large wet sponge. However, since it is your first time riding, you should listen to what your instructor says. Different barns have different rules for taking care of their horses, so don’t be afraid to ask questions. Cleaning your horse’s tack is really important, especially if you’re sharing tack with other students or borrowing someone else’s tack. Put your saddle on a saddle rack, and hang your bridle up somewhere where you can easily clean it.  Find some saddle soap, a sponge, and a bucket of water. Rub the sponge on the saddle soap. Dip it into a little bit of water (less is more). Squeeze the sponge to rid it of excess water. Clean the leather parts of the saddle and bridle with the sponge. You should get all the dust and dirt off of your tack. Clean your horse’s bit (the part that goes in his mouth) with water. Scrub it with a wet toothbrush to clean off all the grass and debris that was in your horse’s mouth. Give your horse a carrot, an apple, or a horse treat. Make sure to give it to the horse with your palm flat so that it doesn’t nibble your fingers by mistake. Pet him again, especially if you had a good ride! Your instructor will help you lead your horse either back to its stall or to the pasture where it lives.

TL;DR in English: Dismount your horse. Groom your horse. Clean and put away your horse’s tack. Praise your horse.

A brochure is a valuable, tangible piece of marketing material that is ultimately used to sell. Unlike a website, you have a limited amount of space on which to provide information. When writing a brochure be specific with what you are selling.   Don’t try to cover too many topics in one brochure. While a brochure can be used to highlight your overall offerings, it's often good to have multiple brochures. You should have a brochure for each individual product or service. For example, if you’re a company that builds beautiful custom rooms in people’s homes, like kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, you may have more success in your brochure if you only cover one room. Instead of offering a lot of broad information, you want your brochure to focus on one topic. Perhaps you write one brochure on only kitchens. Get specific to one room so you can explain every detail from the type of tile you offer to the colors of the cabinet handles. Pretend you’ve come across your own brochure. When looking at the front ask yourself what kind of information you would want to find inside. Write down and answer any questions you may have. You can use these in your brochure.  Identify your target audience. You want to think about where people will pick up this brochure. Who these people are. Are you writing your brochure to an individual consumer who is looking for a product or service? Or are you writing your brochure for a team of investors and board members? Your voice and tone and even the information you provide will be different based on who is going to be reading your brochure. If you’re writing about all the ways you can customize a kitchen to a potential customer, your tone may be more lighthearted and include more lifestyle information. Include info for options on materials and different builds. Focus on how what you offer will make your customers feel. You want to create content that the benefits you can provide. If you’re writing to more of a corporate crowd, or in a B2B (business to business) setting, you might want to...

Use a sharp knife to shave the beef into very thin slices. Cut the onion and shiitake mushrooms into moderately thin slices, as well.  To save yourself time and effort, ask the butcher to slice the beef very thinly before packaging it. If the butcher does not slice the beef, freeze it for 1 hour before slicing it yourself. Partially frozen meat is easier to cut than fully thawed meat. The slices of beef should be just a little thicker than cold cut lunchmeat is. This thinness is key. Beef that is too thick will not cook quickly enough. The slices of onion and mushroom should both be approximately 1/3 inch (1 cm) thick. Place the butter in a medium saucepan and set it on the stove. Heat over medium for a few minutes, just until the butter is completely melted. Add the sliced onions and sliced shiitake mushrooms to the melted butter. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes. The onion should become translucent and the shiitake mushrooms should feel notably tender. Add both alcohols to the saucepan. Cook for another 2 minutes. During this time, most of the actual alcohol should burn away, leaving only the flavor behind. Add the water, Dashi powder, soy sauce, sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the contents of the saucepan. Stir to combine. Allow the contents of the pan to reach a steady simmer before continuing. Place the thin slices of raw beef in the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 3 to 5 minutes.  Use cooking chopsticks or tongs to carefully separate the beef slices as they cook. Doing so can help prevent the beef from sticking together. This may seem like an abnormally short cooking time, but if the beef has been sliced to an adequately thin size, it should be plenty. Do not overcook the beef since it can easily become dry. Fill two serving bowls with freshly steamed white rice. Divide the gyudon evenly and spread it over the rice in both bowls. For an even more authentic experience, prepare Asian-style sticky rice or sushi rice instead of relying on instant rice. Top each...

TL;DR in English: Slice the beef and vegetables. Melt the butter. Sauté the onion and shiitake mushrooms. Mix in the sake and mirin. Stir in the water and remaining seasonings. Add the beef and simmer gently. Serve over rice. Top with the egg. Add any other desired accompaniments.

You need to include a “works cited” page with your paper. This page lists the published material that you’ve used to write your paper. This might include a collection of Shakespeare’s works, a single volume with one play, or an anthology of several different authors’ works.  Depending on the citation style, the works cited page may be called a “bibliography” or a “references” page. Don’t just list the play that you’re citing. You need to indicate the publication in which the play appears. Alphabetize the works cited page. Sample entry for an anthology: Shakespeare, William. “The Comedy of Errors.” The Oxford Anthology of Tudor Drama. Ed. Greg Walker. Oxford, UK: Oxford U P, 2014. 682-722. Print.  Sample entry for a collection of a single author’s works: Shakespeare, William. Love Poems and Sonnets of William Shakespeare. New York: Doubleday, 1991. Print.  Sample entry for a single work: Shakespeare, William. Romeo and Juliet. Ed. Jill L. Levenson. New York: Oxford U P, 2000.  Sample entry for a live play: Hamlet. By William Shakespeare. Dir. Dominic Dromgoole and Bill Buckhurs. Shakespeare's Globe, London. 25 April 2014. Performance. Depending on your preference and the requirements of your class, you may choose to use one of several formats, including MLA, APA, or Chicago. Each style is slightly different in terms of format. Follow one style for your entire paper. The works cited page starts on a new page after your essay. Title this page “Works Cited” with the words centered and bolded at the top of the page. Align each entry on the left.

TL;DR in English: Include the publications or books that you used. Follow a consistent format. Include the works cited page as the final page of your paper.

Take 15 minutes to write the essay. Use a hook in your introduction. Write your three body paragraphs. Summarize your thoughts in your conclusion.

Buckle the helmet onto your head and fasten the Velcro on your elbow and knee pads. When you ride a Ripstik, you can move at rather fast speeds and have the potential to fall and hurt yourself. To prevent hurting your head, arms, and legs, wear a helmet and protective padding. It’s also helpful to have a pair of sneakers with rubber soles. They help you stabilize your feet on the board. It is much easier to balance if you have a friend who can support your weight as you stand on the board. Grasp their shoulder as you get balanced, then let go of them when your footing feels secure. If you don’t have a friend, lean on a wall or railing to help you get on the board. To get started, find a flat paved surface to practice on. This can be a sidewalk, driveway, or empty parking lot, for instance. Place the RipStik on the ground so it rests on its side. The board should face you and the wheels should point away from you. Avoid riding through areas with cracks, speed bumps, water, and sand. Any of these may throw off your balance and cause you to fall. The front of the board is slightly more narrow, and this is called the “nose.” If your right foot is your dominant foot, place your left foot at the nose of the board. When you ride a RipStik, the nose must be facing forward.  Riding with your left foot in front is referred to as riding "regular." Riding "goofy" is when you ride with your right foot on the nose of the board. The larger end called the tail of the board. After one of your feet is centered on the nose, use your other foot to gain some momentum, and then square your foot on the center of the board. Move your foot in one quick motion so you can easily find your balance. At this point, both feet should be centered on each end of the board.  You’ll find that speed equals stability when riding a RipStik, so pushing with one of your feet will help you get balanced. If a friend is helping you, they can let go at this time. If you are struggling to maintain your balance, try pushing off with a bit more force and...

TL;DR in English: Put on a helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads to stay safe. Have a friend help you balance if you need help getting on the board. Put your RipStik on a smooth, flat surface. Place your non-dominant foot on the nose of the board. Push off with your dominant foot and place it on the tail. Reposition your footing if your feet are not centered. Maintain your balance as the board is moving. Step off the RipStik when you want to stop.

Take one of the 22.5 by 18.5 in (57 by 47 cm) rectangles and put it on the floor. This will be the base of your jump box. Then, put the 28 by 20 in (71 by 51 cm) pieces on opposite sides of the bottom rectangle with the 28 in (71 cm) sides going upwards and the 20 in (51 cm) sides on the part of the bottom rectangle that’s 18.5 inches (47 cm) long. Add the 28 by 22.5 in (71 by 57 cm) rectangles to the remaining sides of the bottom rectangle, with the 22.5 in (57 cm) side lined up with the 22.5 in (57 cm) edge of the bottom rectangle. If the wood doesn’t line up, you’ll have to go back and make cuts to change this. Apply Gorilla glue in a thick, even coat down the thin sides of the plywood. Work one piece at a time, then press the pieces together. Leave them to dry for 10-15 minutes before moving on to the next piece. Wipe off the excess glue that drips down the sides of the plywood as you wait. Place these wood screws about 5 inches (13 cm) apart and drill them into all 4 sides of the top and bottom piece of plywood. Then, drill wood screws about 5 inches (13 cm) apart along the left and right sides of the 28 by 22.5 in (71 by 57 cm) rectangles. The goal is to have screws connecting each piece of plywood to every piece of plywood that it’s touching. Though the Gorilla glue dried during application, give your box a few hours to fully set. Then, once the box feels sturdy, gently step on it to test it out. If it holds, lightly jump on it to ensure the box is safe, and not wobbly. The beauty of having a 28 by 24 by 20 in (71 by 61 by 51 cm) jump box is that it gives you 3 separate heights with which to work. You can start with 20 in (51 cm) box jumps and work your way up to the bigger heights with time and practice. This is an optional step, but one that give your jump box a professional look. Coat the box with an even spray, using whichever color you’d like. Once you’ve painted each side of the jump box once, add a second coat to each side to give your box a polished finish. Work in the garage or outside your...

TL;DR in English: Put the box together by hand to see if the pieces line up. Apply the glue to every edge that touches a different edge. Drill wood screws into the edges of the rectangles to connect the pieces. Let the box sit for 2 hours before testing it. Spray paint your jump box to decorate it.

Now that you have your thesis statement and your outline, focus on composing content for each part of the essay. Try to spend two to three minutes on each body paragraph. Then, take three minutes on your conclusion paragraph and go back to your introduction. Spend the last three minutes revising your introduction so it matches the tone and perspective of the rest of your essay. There are several possible hooks you can use in your essay to draw your reader in.  An interesting or surprising example: This could be a personal experience or a key moment in the life of the historical figure you are discussing in your essay. For example, you may discuss Anthony’s childhood as a Quaker and her later adoption of more casual dress and growing interest in social reform at the age of 26.  A provocative quotation: This could be from a source you used for your essay or one that feels relevant to your topic. For example, you may use a well known quote from Anthony, such as: “Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences.”  A vivid anecdote: An anecdote is a very short story that carries moral or symbolic weight. Think of an anecdote that might be a poetic or powerful way to start your essay. A thought provoking question: create a question that will get your reader thinking and engaged in your topic. For example: “Did you ever wonder how women received the right to vote in the United States?” Focus on fleshing out each paragraph with at least one example of your main point. Sign-post each paragraph by beginning with a strong argumentative point that links to a supporting example of your main point. If you use an essay on Susan B. Anthony as an example:  Body paragraph 1: You may start by discussing...

An “I” statement is more likely to lead to a good outcome than starting your sentences with “You.” “You” statements tend to put people on the defensive. Work on phrasing anything you say to your mom so that it starts with “I.” For example, instead of saying, “You never let me have any time to myself,” you might say something like, “I am feeling a little stressed right now, so I would appreciate some time to myself.” If you ask your mom for something, and she says no, do not throw a temper tantrum. If you do, your mom will likely never change her mind. Instead, remain calm and explain your position. Your mom is more likely to understand your side if you communicate in a calm and rational manner. If you just walked in the door and your mom wants you to complete your chores immediately, you could respond by saying: "I need 30 minutes to unwind after school and then I will do my chores." This is more productive than starting a fight with your mom by refusing to do any chores. When you are having a conversation with your mom it is important that you actively listen to what she is saying. Try to make eye contact with her and don’t just look at your phone the whole time. This will cause her to become frustrated and will make it appear as though you are not trying to understand her position. Once you and your mom are able to communicate in a respectful manner and listen to the perspective of the other person, then you will likely be able to come to a compromise on a few key issues. A successful compromise will allow you both to feel as though you reached an appropriate solution.  For example, perhaps you could agree to clean your room if you are allowed to stay out with friends an hour later. Keep in mind that you may not always come to a compromise. If this happens, then work on a compromise for the next issue that comes up.

TL;DR in English: Use “I” statements. Remain calm. Listen to what she says. Try to find a compromise.

Most application forms will offer all of the important information on how the audition process will work. Look for any statements about dress codes, essential supplies, rules, and prerequisites. Be sure to follow every rule listed on your application to the best of your ability. Reach out to a choreographer or staff member if you’re unsure about anything listed on the application, or would like more clarification. There may occasionally be requirements that aren’t listed on the application. Ask if you will need to bring any extra documentation, such as a dance resume or photos. Some audition staff will require you to send your information as part of your initial application, especially if the audition is private. Others will want you to bring your own information directly to the audition. Some auditions will require a dance resume as part of your audition package. Write one out if you do not have one already. A dance resume should list your professional experience, education and credentials, and outstanding achievements. You should also include your email address, phone number, and name so the staff can reach out to you after the audition. You may also want to attach a dance photo. The staff may request a dance photo from all auditioners, especially if the audition is open to everyone. Most dance shots are of the dancer in action, posing in a way that best shows off their form and technique. The audition staff can refer to this photo as they decide on callbacks. Load up a backpack or tote bag with a few essentials, such as water bottles, a spare pair of dance shoes, elastic hair bands, and basic first aid supplies. These items will then be readily available to you on the off chance you need them.

TL;DR in English: Review your audition application thoroughly. Ask the audition staff about their rules if you’re confused. Compose your dance resume. Pack a bag of supplies.

so it’s easier to breathe. Poor posture compresses your lungs and airways, making it harder for you to breathe. Improve your posture by straightening your spine when you’re sitting or standing. Additionally, roll your shoulders back and tilt your chin up. This may help you breathe better. Look in the mirror to check out your posture. Practice standing or sitting up straight until it feels natural to you. You may struggle to breathe while you're lying down, especially at night. If this happens, use pillows or a wedge to prop up your upper body. This will take some of the pressure off your lungs so you can breathe better while you sleep. You might also try putting a folded blanket under your pillow. Air pollution can affect your lungs and airways, making it harder for you to breathe. While you might not be able to avoid all air pollution, you can reduce your exposure to it. Here are some ways to avoid exposure to common air pollutants:  Avoid spending time outdoors around pollutants. Stay away from allergens. Don’t use perfumes and colognes. Stop using air fresheners. Pick fragrance-free personal care products and cleaners. Avoid burning candles or incense. Clean your home often to prevent dust and mold. Step away when someone is smoking to avoid second-hand smoke. If you're sensitive to a food you're eating, it may cause holes in your intestines that allow bacteria and food particles to escape into your body. This triggers inflammation and illness in your body as it tries to fight off the invaders. The inflammation can cause breathing issues and allergies. To help you heal, do an elimination diet to improve your gut health. Eliminate common food allergies like milk, gluten, eggs, soy, sugar, nuts, and caffeine for 3-4 weeks. Once you start to feel better, add the foods back 1 at a time to see if they affect you. Stop eating any foods that make your symptoms return. Unfortunately, the air inside your home may be full of indoor air pollutants. This can irritate your lungs and make it harder for you to breathe...

On a fake pair of Yeezys, the stitching is a messy criss-cross. The real ones have neat stitching that creates an “X” on both sides with a square separating them. Fake Yeezys could have any number of dots, but real Yeezys have exactly 9 in the center box.  The dots outside the rectangle don't count. On fake Yeezys, the stripes look like they've been printed on. A quick way to verify the shoe’s authenticity is by judging the material. A fake pair of Yeezys has a softer fabric, making it easy to identify as a counterfeit. The shoe’s tongue is another dead giveaway regarding its realness. A fake pair of Yeezy's soft material makes the tongue slouchier, while a real pair stands straight up.

TL;DR in English: Look for messy stitching. Count the red dots on the heel tab. See how the stripes on the inside of the heel tab blend in. Check the material’s quality.

Tests, quizzes, and projects fall into the category of summative assessments. These are formally graded assignments and are the main way teachers evaluate student learning. Formative assessments, such as homework, are the tools teachers use to develop required skills and knowledge. Since they're opportunities to learn from mistakes, avoid formally grading homework assignments.  Give credit for completing homework assignments, but don't count wrong answers against their grade. Factor their overall homework score into their final grade. For instance,  they completed 38 of 40 assignments, and homework is 20% of their final grade, they get 19 out of 20 points. and projects without reading students’ names. Grading anonymously helps eliminate conscious and subconscious biases. It’s tough to grade handwritten assignments blindly, but you should still do your best to stick to anonymous grading. Blind grading techniques include covering students’ names, having them write their names on the backs of assignments, and having them write assigned ID numbers instead of their names. Start by sampling about a quarter of essay tests or research papers. If you’ve collected 25 essays, skim 5 or 10. This will help you get a feel for the quality range of the assignment you’re grading. For essay tests, read and grade the first essay on all the tests, then grade the second essay. For other test formats, grade each section 1 at a time. Grading item-by-item will help you keep each section’s criteria fresh in mind.

TL;DR in English: Use graded assignments to assess and ungraded work to develop skills. Grade tests Read a few assignments before you grade if the rubric is subjective. Grade tests 1 essay or section of problems at a time.

Get a generous amount of wax on your fingers. Run it through your roots with your fingertips, which will help with volume, and hit the pieces that float around your face. Finish the ends off with gel, which will help prevent flyaways. Start with blow-dried hair for this process. Separate your hair into sections, and begin applying the wax throughout the hair. Use a generous amount, as you want your hair pretty much soaked in the wax. Gels have too much water in them. They'll make your hair spring back to curls. Start with a leave-in conditioner. Spritz it in to your hair and work it in lightly with your fingers. Add a generous amount of gel to help keep your curls sleek. Use your fingers to work the gel into your hair in sections. For curls that are even more defined, try twisting small strands of hair around your fingers. For a wet ponytail look, comb the pomade in section by section until you've covered all of the hair. Pomade also works on curly hair because it flattens the curls out as you comb it through. If you want to leave your hair down but create a sleek look at the top, work the pomade into the roots with your fingers. Use a fine-tooth comb to work the pomade through the hair, stopping about midway down.

Sometimes it may be hard to get into a book, even if you have a comfy spot, good lighting, and no distractions. If there aren’t any immediate time constraints, consider putting down the book and coming back to it at a later time. Try to choose a more relaxing time to revisit the book. For instance, you may find that you are better able to focus early in the morning, after working out, or when all your chores or tasks are done for the day. Your brain absorbs the unfolding of the story and information better when you read paper books. This is because you can observe the thickness of the book and use your body to interact with it (turning the pages, for example) while reading. If you prefer e-readers, that’s okay too! However, if you are struggling to understand books, try reading a paper one and take note of any changes that occur in your comprehension. When you get to the end of a chapter or section of a book, stop and ask yourself if you understand the major themes and events. If you recall what happened and have a good understanding, feel free to proceed. If you don’t, though, you should refresh your memory by going back over the previous pages, chapters, or sections. Keep a notebook next to you while you read. Use several different pieces of paper to keep track of main characters or key terms, major plot points, big-picture questions, and things that confuse you. You can refer to these notes later to remember what the book was about. This is especially helpful for academic texts. When reading a book for pleasure, however, frequently stopping can disrupt the flow of your reading. Talking about books is a great way to really understand them. Other people may notice things you didn’t, and vice versa. Talk to your friends or go to your local library to join or organize a club. You can also find book clubs and forums for discussion online.

TL;DR in English: Make sure you’re in the right frame of mind to focus. Pick paper books over e-readers for better understanding. Check your knowledge of what has happened before moving onto a new section. Take good notes while you read. Join a book club to have group discussions.

Using a 180-grit nail file and 240-grit nail file, smooth the edges of the sculpted nail to even out any inconsistencies.  Start with the 180-grit file, then work over the side walls of the nail. Once the sides look good, file down the free edge. Swap to your 240-grit file and work over the surface of the nail. Sand away any uneven lumps in the artificial nail surface. Tilt the 240-grit file slightly and continue working over the surface of the nail to perfect the contour. Use a clean nail brush to wipe away any dust when finished. Apply a non-cleansing gel sealer over the finished nail, then cure the sealer under heat for two minutes.  Brush a thin layer of the seal over the entire nail just as you would apply a top coat of polish. Start at the cuticle, then gradually work down toward the free edge. Place the nail beneath an LED heat lamp for two minutes to allow the sealer to cure. Note that some sealers may require more or less curing time, so it's best to check the label instructions before proceeding. Dab a small bead of cuticle oil onto the center of the nail. Use your fingers to rub the oil over the nail and into your cuticles. You only need a small droplet of oil for each nail. It should help condition your cuticles while giving the artificial nail a slight shine. This step completes the first sculpted nail. Repeat the sculpting process until all nails are evenly decorated. You can prepare your natural nails all at once, but the actual sculpting and finishing portions of the process must be completed one-by-one.

TL;DR in English: File into the final shape. Seal the nail. Apply cuticle oil to the nail. Examine the finished nail and repeat as needed.

The Better Business Bureau website includes a verification process that you can use to validate your selected website. Note that the Better Business Bureau is geared toward matching businesses with your provided website. If you're simply trying to see if the website is safe, use the Google Transparency Report.   For best results, copy and paste the exact URL into this field.  While this isn't mandatory, doing so will narrow your search. If you don't know your business' geographic location, skip this step.  You can verify your website's credibility by comparing the Better Business Bureau's results with the website's claims.  For example, if your website claims to sell shoes but the Better Business Bureau links the URL to an ad revenue service, you know that the site is a scam. However, if the Better Business Bureau results line up with the site's theme, you can probably trust the site.
