Set your oven’s temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (130 degrees Celsius), and let it heat fully so it’s warm enough to dry the pretzels. Next, place a wire cooling rack on a large baking sheet for the pretzels to dry on. Line the baking sheet with foil, parchment paper, or wax paper before placing the cooling rack on it. You’ll have less mess to clean up that way. Place 1 cup (175 g) of white melting chocolates or chips into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat the white chocolate on high in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval. Continue until the white chocolate is completely melted. You can melt the white chocolate in a double boiler if you prefer. Place ½ cup (125 g) of blueberry yogurt in one medium bowl and ½ cup (125 g) of vanilla yogurt in a separate bowl. Next, add a 2 ½ cups (312 g) of powdered sugar to each bowl, and mix until it’s fully incorporated into each yogurt flavor. You can use any flavors of yogurt that you like for the pretzels. If you prefer, you can also use 1 full cup (250 g) of a single flavor of yogurt and mix all of the powdered sugar into it. When the powdered sugar is fully mixed into each flavor of yogurt, add half of the melted white chocolate to the blueberry yogurt mixture and the other half to the vanilla yogurt mixture. Stir well until the white chocolate is fully incorporated into each mixture. When each flavor of the yogurt mixture is fully blended, coat 1 16 ounce (454 g) bag of miniature pretzels in the two flavors. Use a pair of tongs to dip the pretzels and lif them to set them on the cooling rack to dry. You can coat half of the pretzels in the blueberry flavored yogurt mixture and the other half in the vanilla, or break the flavors up to have more of your favorite. Once all of the pretzels are coated, shut off your oven. Set the baking sheet with the pretzels inside, and leave the door slightly open. Allow the pretzels to set for 3 to 4 hours before serving them. Store your leftover pretzels in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for 2 to 3 days.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven and set a cooling rack on a baking sheet. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Combine half of the powdered sugar with each yogurt flavor. Divide the white chocolate between the yogurt mixtures. Dip the pretzels into the yogurt mixture of your choice and set on the rack. Turn the oven off and place the baking sheet in the oven to dry the pretzels. Finished.

In these scams, the scam artist poses as an employer, gains the trust of the person being scammed, and then obtains access to their bank account by either:  Asking for bank account information in order to make direct deposit payments. “Hiring” the person being scammed to deposit checks for them and then wire them the cash. The problem with this scam is that the original check provided by the “employer” is a fake one, and by the time the banks figure it out the person being scammed has already withdrawn and sent the cash, and so becomes responsible for paying back the bank while the fake employer gets away with the money. In some cases, a scam artist might send an email to you posing as an employer who found your resume online and who has a potential employment opportunity for you.  They’ll typically invite you to complete a fake online job application that asks for sensitive personal or financial information. They can then use this information to access your bank accounts or other personal accounts in order to get money from you. There are a huge number of scams that focus on convincing people that they need to provide some sort of sensitive personal information such as a driver’s license number, a PIN, passport information, bank account numbers, credit or debit card numbers, or social security numbers.  These scams will usually try to convince you that you need to provide this information in order to move forward with a job application or to access some service that you think you’re purchasing. Most legitimate businesses and employers will not ask for this type of information, and if they do, they’ll do it in a secure, documented, and traceable way. There are a number of websites that offer to help you file for unemployment benefits in exchange for a small service fee.  These sites are scams designed to take not only the money you pay them as a fee, but also to obtain important personal data such as your name, address, phone number, email, and other sensitive information that can then be used to access your...

Fumbling over your words, or speaking too soft or loud, makes you look uncontrolled. Conversely, a clear and controlled voice can exude confidence. Try to speak in a manner that allows others to easily understand your words.  Use a clear voice both in work settings and personal conversations in order to appear confident. Stay aware of your tone when you talk so you avoid whispering or stammering. If you're nervous by nature, it can take some practice to get the right speaking tone. Try practicing speaking in front of a mirror. You can also record yourself talking and play it back to yourself to see if your tone is clear and easily understandable. Being confident does not mean being loud or argumentative. Confident people are secure enough in themselves and their opinions that they don't feel the need to dominate the conversations. Always give others a chance to speak. Allowing someone to politely disagree with you actually makes you look more confident.  Strive to allow others to talk at least as much as you do. After you finish a sentence or make a point, pause to allow the other person to respond. Show that you're listening as well. Use non-verbal cues, such as nodding and smiling when appropriate, to demonstrate you're paying attention to the other person. Oftentimes, people who are nervous by nature have a tendency to either avoid or diminish expressing their opinion. You may, for example, not speak up when you disagree, or begin by saying, "I'm sorry to disagree, but..." Work on simply speaking your mind. You do not have to be rude or aggressive, but be comfortable sharing your thoughts without filter.  Instead of apologizing when sharing your convictions, get straight to the point. Say something like, "Actually, I see the situation differently" and then proceed to explain. It's okay to appear passionate. Having strong passions is a form of confidence. Being aggressive and being confident are two different things. If you get angry or hostile when others challenge you, this makes you look insecure in...

When you start working on your index, you may want to use printed proof pages, or work directly from the computer screen. A searchable PDF will help you find the words you're indexing without disturbing the text. Typically, if you index from a hard copy you'll have to transfer your work to a digital file. If the work is particularly long, try to work straight from the computer so you can skip this extra step. Generally speaking, you'll want to index the entire text of your work, including the introduction and any footnotes or endnotes that expand on the content of the text. Typically, indexed items are nouns, like ideas, concepts, and things, that contribute to the subject of the text.  If footnotes or endnotes are merely source citations, they don't need to be included in the index. Generally, you don't need to index glossaries, bibliographies, acknowledgements, or illustrative items such as charts and graphs. If you're not sure whether something should be indexed, ask yourself if it contributes something substantial to the text. If it doesn't, it typically doesn't need to be indexed. Some publishers may require you to index any authors cited, either in text or footnotes. This may require a separate index, or they may be included in your general index. Check with your advisor or editor if you're not sure. In most cases, if you have a "works cited" section appearing at the end of your text you won't need to index authors. You would still include their names in the general index, however, if you discussed them in the text rather than simply citing their work. As you read through your work, make a list of the keywords or main concepts discussed in the text. Many of these you may already know off the top of your head. Creating an index card for each individual entry can help you sort and organize the entries before typing them up.  For example, if you're writing a book on bicycle maintenance, you might have index cards for "gears," "wheels," and "chain." Put yourself in your reader's shoes, and ask yourself why...

TL;DR in English: Choose your indexing source. Decide what needs to be indexed. List cited authors if necessary. Create index cards for entries if you’re indexing by hand. Use nouns for the main headings of entries. Include subentries for entries with 5 or more pointers. Identify potential cross references.

Sit down with every member of your household and go over your finances. How you resolve and differences in your approach to money will have a profound effect on your relationship's chances of succeeding. Now is the perfect time to set an example for your children, and show them how a family can pull together during tough times and everyone can chip in. . There are many ways to cut expenses during a recession. In many cases, you can maintain your same quality of life while focusing on living lean and cutting out extravagant and unnecessary expenses.  Cut discretionary spending. Buy nothing if you don't need it to live. Resist sales pitches. Don't even think about using that new credit card offer in the mail, even if it does have a low APR and no payments for two years, you should evaluate it carefully.  Transportation: Carpool as much as you can. Consider commuting by bicycle or even living without a car. But if that's not practical, look for ways to save money on gas. Housing: Get a roommate or consider relocating to an area with a lower cost of living. Maybe you can move in with family members until the economic downturn blows over. Keeping the peace in a multigenerational household isn't always easy, but it has its own rewards.  Food: Stop going out to eat; instead, try to cook at home from scratch more often. Consider the benefits of the slow food movement. If you don't have enough time to cook, try doing it just once a month. Find good deals at a local farmers' market. If you have a job, be an amazing employee. Now is not the time to slack. Show up early, stay late, and volunteer for projects. Pick up the slack for other workers; it's what will happen when people get laid off, anyway, so now is the time to prove yourself. Look for ways to save your employer money, especially if you see your employer doing little things to that effect, like encouraging employees to turn of their computers.

Most people who do yoga use it for physical exercise. There’s nothing wrong with this approach, but it leaves out yoga’s traditional mental and spiritual sides. If you are serious about being a yogi, learn more about the whole experience.  Total yoga is “a system for relieving suffering of the mind.” Traditionally, yogis held that people suffer because of their egos, which strive for control.  By teaching us how to calm the mind and quell the ego, yoga lets us live as we truly are and in harmony with the surrounding world. If you are interested in the inner secrets of yoga, consider reading classical texts like the Yoga Sutra or the Bhagavad Gita or modern takes like Yoga: the Greater Tradition. One thing that you can do to connect to yoga’s spiritual side is to meditate. Meditation is a mix of concentration and breathing that, if done right, can help you to reach a different state of consciousness, where the mind is alert, relaxed, and directed inward.  As part of yoga, meditation can reduce stress, lessen pain, and help you manage anxiety. But meditation can also open your mind. Try to find a quiet spot and sit comfortably, with your spine erect. Close your eyes and take deep breaths. Focus on your breathing, in and out, and let your attention rest on the rhythm. It is OK if your mind wanders, but always bring it back to your breathing.  Don’t expect to “get” anything out of meditation or to feel better or worse. The point is precisely the opposite – to free you from worldly anxieties and concerns. Also, don’t worry that you are doing it wrong – there is no “wrong way” to meditate! You may have heard that fasting is good for you physically. Many people believe that it allows your body to “detox” and somehow expel harmful toxins. While the evidence for this is spotty, fasting is practiced in yoga and other spiritual traditions to help develop willpower and focus the mind. Trying it might help you to reach a higher level in your journey.  The idea behind spiritual fasting is not just to skip a few meals, but...

Use a drop shadow to give the illusion of depth to 2D objects. If the shadow is too pronounced, it will draw attention to itself and shatter the illusion. Shoot for an Opacity setting of 30-40% for a subtle and effective shadow. You can apply multiple shadow effects to give your shadows more depth.

Be subtle with your shadows. Layer multiple shadows for a more natural effect. Change the offset so that the shadow is directly below the object. Adjust your shadows accordingly when objects overlap.

You want a spot that has soft dirt so you can dig holes in it. Keep in mind that if you build your wrestling ring over grass, the grass underneath the ring will likely turn yellow or die. The size of your wrestling ring is up to you, but try to keep it between 8 feet (2.4 m) by 8 feet (2.4 m) and 16 feet (4.9 m) by 16 feet (4.9 m). Mark the corners of the square with stakes and use a tape measure to make sure they’re evenly spaced apart. Make the holes wide enough for the wooden posts to fit in them. When you’re finished, make sure the distance between the holes is the same so your ring isn’t lopsided. Insert the bottoms of the posts in the holes so they’re standing up straight. Then, hold a level flat against the posts to make sure they’re not tilted. Once you’re sure they’re straight, fill in the holes with dirt and pack them down so the posts are secure. These pieces of wood will run between the wooden posts to create the frame for your wrestling ring. The length of the pieces will depend on how big your ring is. To determine the length, measure the distance between 2 of your posts and add 12 inches (30 cm).  The extra 12 inches (30 cm) is so the pieces of wood extend over the sides of the posts (each post is 6 inches (15 cm) wide). You may need to cut the wooden pieces down to size, depending on the size of your ring. Set the pieces of wood on their side on the ground so they’re flush with the bases of the wooden posts. Line the ends of the pieces of wood up with the corners of the posts. Then, use a drill or hammer to fasten the ends of the wood to the posts. When you’re finished, the pieces of wood should make a square frame around your wrestling ring, with the posts in the corners.

TL;DR in English: Find a flat patch of ground for your wrestling ring. Measure and mark a square where your ring will go. Dig a 2 foot (0.61 m) deep hole in each corner of the square. Bury the bottoms of the posts in the holes. Buy four 2 inch (5.1 cm) tall by 8 inch (20 cm) wide pieces of wood. Drill or hammer the pieces of wood into the posts.

If there was no way for you to complete your assignment without the materials you left at school, try to go in early the next morning. If your school offers early morning study hall (or a breakfast period), you can easily get there early and work in the morning. If you need to get into your classroom, you can email your teacher to see if they can let you in early. If you are not able to go into school early (or if you do not finish your assignment during that time), you can work during any downtime you have during the day. If a teacher gives you time in class to work on something, you can work on the homework from last night instead. You can work during any free period, recess, or lunch in order to get the assignment done. If you were not able to get the assignment done during your school day, you may still be able to turn it in without getting a late grade. Talk to you teacher and find out if you can stay after school for a little bit to finish the assignment. It is likely that your teacher will need to stay for a little while anyway, and they may respect your initiative to get the late assignment complete as soon as possible. A similar option is to email the assignment to your teacher. Sometimes if you can get it to your teacher the same day it is due (even in a digital format), your teacher will not mark the assignment late. Talk to your teacher and find out if this is an option for you. Then complete the assignment as soon as you get home.  If you have multiple email accounts, use the one associated with your school. Once again, use proper grammar, complete sentences, and good etiquette when you communicate with your teacher via email. If all else fails, talk to your teacher about getting an extension. Explain what happened, describe all the methods you tried in order to get this assignment done, and ask for permission to turn it in late. Keep in mind that if this happens more than once, your teacher may be less likely to give you an extension.

TL;DR in English: Go to school early the next day to try to finish it before class. Work during any free periods if you need to. Stay after school so you can turn the assignment in that day. Email it to your teacher if allowed. Get an extension if necessary.

Drop shadows exist to give the illusion of depth to 2D objects. If the shadow is too pronounced, it will draw attention to itself and shatter the illusion. Shoot for an Opacity setting of 30-40% for a subtle and effective shadow. You can apply multiple shadow effects to give your shadows more depth. For example, you might have an object with text underneath it. Adding another faint shadow between the object and the text can help connect them in the viewer's eye. This is especially useful if you have multiple similar elements on the same page, such as buttons with labels underneath each one. The default settings for the shadow offset will display the shadow to the bottom-right of the object. A more natural and pleasing look, especially for web design, it to have the "light source" directly above the object so that the shadow only appears along the bottom edge. This will give your designs more balance. To do this, set the "Offset X" value to "0", and use the "Offset Y" value to set how deep the shadow is. Shadows exist to help the viewer determine depth. If you have multiple objects overlapping, and they all have the same drop shadow settings, your design will be hard to interpret. Overlapping elements should have smaller shadows, so that they don't appear to float high above the object below. Make all of your shadows sizes relative to the total height from the top overlapping object to the base.  For example, if the topmost object has a shadow that is 20 px on the base of the image, an object that is tucked underneath it should have a smaller shadow where it intersects the topmost object, maybe 10 px. Give higher objects a lighter shadow. As you build your drop shadows for multiple objects, your "higher" objects should have slightly lighter shadows, while objects that are "closer" to the canvas should have darker shadows. This will help differentiate between the different heights. Increase the blur radius for higher objects to make the shadows softer as well.

Once you've developed an understanding of the types of writing and the skills necessary to write online, start looking for some freelance opportunities and open calls for content. Most big cities that update regularly don't have a paid staff of writers. Rather, they contract out the content to freelancers, who are paid by the article, or as per some other arrangement. Whatever your niche interest, there are probably venues within that niche that hire freelance writers regularly. There are lots of databases of freelance job listings, one of which can be found here.   If you're searching around on Craigslist, try looking for telecommuting opportunities in major metropolitan areas. Lots of online writing gigs are listed in the Bay Area, though lots of content will have no connection to that geography. You can do the job just as well from Iowa or Indonesia as from Brooklyn or SF. There are also freelance agencies that serve small businesses, hiring out content and finding work for you. Digital Sherpa, Content Launch, and Zerys are examples of agencies that will hire you to write content for other sites on a rolling basis.  Many jobs that involve lots of writing online aren't necessarily titled "Writing Position." Look for subtler buzzwords, like "content" and "copy." Lots of Internet start-ups will use the jargon of the start-up, but the job will essentially revolve around writing tasks. Content farms will offer a small amount of money for a huge amount of writing expected from you in a very short amount of time. These kinds of jobs won't provide you any good copy to use on a resume, because content farms are completely devoted to producing exponentially increasing numbers of low-quality content, basically as a way of having something to slap ads on to. If you've ever wound up on a page with more ads than writing, or on a mis-spelled domain page, you've seen one of these sites. These sites pay writers next to nothing, have no content standards, and lower the standards of online discourse considerably. Avoid them....

The first step toward eating 9,000 calories a day is eating more often than most people do and finding ways to increase the amount of healthy food you can take in per meal.  Don't let more than four hours go by without eating a meal (unless you are sleeping).  Eating often will provide you with an opportunity to increase your caloric intake. Drink healthy beverages that have a high caloric content between and with your meals.  Fruit juices like apple juice, orange juice, cranberry juice, and grape juice are high in calories and nutrients. Buy bigger plates so meals seem smaller.  Silly as it may seem, bigger plates can make it easier to add more food to your plate (and your diet) without it seeming like too much. Sleep is when your body does most of its healing and repairing of bodily tissues, so eating right before bed will ensure your body has fresh nutrients available to maximize tissue production.  Your metabolism doesn't actually slow down while you're sleeping, but your body is much less active.  A meal before you go to sleep will ensure you use as many calories as you can out of your late night snacks for recovery and regeneration. Lost body heat is one of the biggest energy drains the human body endures regardless of activity level.  Adopting a 9,000 calorie daily diet means you're burning at least that many through your metabolism and training, so don't waste some of them on just keeping warm.  When you're cold, your body burns calories to create body heat.  Avoid the caloric cost keeping you warm by staying that way to begin with.  Stay warm to inhibit the production of thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormones aid in uncoupling proteins to create body heat and are also known as one of the stronger metabolism regulating hormones.  Stress also increases your metabolism.  Stress can release adrenaline and thyroxine which both can speed up your metabolism.  Reducing stress will limit your body's production and release of these chemicals. In order to make sure you're taking in as many calories as possible in...

Active compounds found in tea are a natural alternative to harsh chemicals commonly found in store-bought dish soaps. Help degrease especially problematic dirty dishes by adding old teabags to a sink full of warm water and soaking them for a while before trying your hand at scrubbing them again. Set two or three used teabags in your toilet and let them sit for several minutes. Flush the toilet, then scrub the bottom of the bowl to help remove pesky stains at the bottom. Be careful, though—leaving the tea in the toilet for too long can actually cause more staining due to the tannins, so it might be better to use a lighter-colored tea for this purpose. Wipe your mirrors down with wet used teabags and then buff them dry with a soft cloth. The natural, active compounds in the tea help to break down scum, and making sure to dry the mirror in circular motions will help you achieve a streak-free shine. Split open your used teabags and wait for the tea leaves to become mostly dry. Then, sprinkle them all over your carpet or rug and wait until they are completely dry. Vacuum up the tea leaves, and not only will you have a cleaner carpet but your vacuum cleaner will smell better, too!

TL;DR in English: Degrease stubborn dishes. Clean the very bottom of the toilet bowl. Shine your mirrors. Clean your carpet or rug.

Use a color-safe shampoo or a special wig shampoo. Place the wig under a tap with warm water to get rid of any excess dye before lathering the wig with shampoo. Rinse out the shampoo when you are done. This will give extra shine to your wig. Avoid using any conditioner near the roots of your wig or else the hair might fall out. Rinse out the conditioner with cool or lukewarm water. Gently squeeze the wig with the towel to remove excess water. Place it back on the wig stand to dry. You can let it air dry or you can use a hair dryer on a low setting. If you are air drying the wig, leave it on the stand until it is completely dry. If you are blow drying it, run the hair dryer up and down through your hair. Make sure that the wig does not overheat.

Choose a vine with slipping bark, then cut away the top of the vine with a saw.  This method is also among the simplest grafting methods for grape vines, but it tends to be slightly less particular and slightly less successful than cleft grafting. Bark slipping occurs when the bark actually begins to separate and peel away from the wood of the vine. Ideally, you should wait until all of the bark on a vine begins to split before trying to use this grafting method. You only need to cut 4 inches (10 cm) or so from the top of the vine. You can cut more if you desire a shorter head height, though. Select a dormant scion and slice off a portion of bark and wood along the bottom half of the shoot using a sharp, clean blade.  This cut should be about 2 inches (4 cm) long and should be straight yet slanted. For best results, position this cut on the opposite side of the bud.  Make a secondary cut on the opposite (bud) side of the scion. This cut should be similar in shape but only one-third the length of the primary cut. Use the same blade to cut into the side of the rootstock, near the cut top. The portion you cut away should match the shape and size of the portion removed from the scion.  Remove the loose outer bark from the intended grafting location. Hold the cut edge of the scion against the intended grafting location on the stock. Cut a slit into the bark on both sides. The slit should be as wide as the diameter of the scion and as deep as the full scion length. Slip the cut surface of the scion into the newly cut wedge of in the rootstock.  You may need to use a flat screwdriver to help you peel away the flap of bark on the stock. Roughly one-third to one-half of this flap should be removed before you place the scion into the wedge. The long side of the scion should be placed against the trunk of the stock. Wrap the grafted vines together with a durable rubber band or heavy-duty tape. Seal the entire exposed area with grafting compound. For additional security, hold the graft together with 1-inch (2.5-cm) long...

When performing the push up, your lower back must be straight, i.e., not sagging or arching, and your feet must be shoulder width apart. Your elbows should be tucked close to your body, i.e., at a 20 to 40 degree angle from your abdomen. As you go down, make sure your chest gets as close to the floor as possible.  Make sure to tighten your abdomen, legs, and buttocks. This will prevent your back from arching and sagging. Try not to let your hips touch the floor. They should be on the same level as your shoulders. When you are performing the push up, make sure to inhale as you go down. Then exhale as you go back up. If it is hard for you to remember to breathe, then count out loud as you do your push ups. The act of talking will force you to breathe as you do your push ups. Start out by doing as many push ups as you comfortably can. This is called a set. Then do two more sets. Make sure to rest for 60 seconds or more in between sets. Practice this three to four times a week, or every other day until you are comfortable.  For example, if you can only do seven full push ups, then start out by doing three sets of seven push ups every other day until you are comfortable. Once you can comfortably do your normal number of push ups, add three to five more push ups. Adding more push ups will challenge your muscles, enabling you to build more muscle. Make sure to stick to your routine. If you find it hard to stick to a routine, then ask a friend to join you. Alternatively, you can hire a personal trainer to keep you on track as you strive for your goal.   For example, if you have been doing push ups three days a week, then do not throw off your routine by reducing it to twice a week. Depending on the intensity of your routine, you may see results in one to two months.

If we recognize we are to blame, we may feel guilt and a need for forgiveness. When you think of memories, they may create these uncomfortable feelings. To identify why it is you may feeling like this, ask yourself:  Am I feeling this way because of the outcome of what I did makes me feel bad? Am I feeling this way because I am to blame for a bad outcome? Everyone fails at something at one point in her life or other. Do not think that failing at something - whether it be a job or relationship - makes you a bad person. As Bill Gates said: “It is fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.”  Learning from one’s mistakes is a step of forgiving oneself. To really forgive yourself, do not be afraid to start from scratch. Learning to forgive yourself is not just learning to live with the past. It is learning from that experience. Take what you have learned and apply it to building a better you. One way to move forward with yourself is to adapt from what you have learned.   Set goals yourself for the future that help to promote a better and stronger mindset. This look into the future may help your forgive yourself in the present by focusing on the positive changes you are able to make.   Whenever you feel guilt, follow the words of Les Brown, "Forgive yourself for your faults and mistakes and move on." This will help you whenever you make a mistake.

TL;DR in English: Diagnose why you need to forgive yourself. Accept that failures do not make you a bad person. Do not be afraid to start anew. Adapt a new mindset by learning from past mistakes.

Like many other cuts of meat, New York strip steaks can be given extra flavor by soaking them in a marinade before cooking. We've provided a recipe to one simple but delicious marinade above, but literally hundreds of others will also work well. There aren't any hard and fast rules for making your own marinade, but there are a few basic guidelines that most marinades follow. If you're a novice, try including the following ingredients in your marinade to start with:  A source of fat. Usually, this is an oil, like vegetable oil, canola oil, olive oil, sesame oil, etc. An acid. This can be a citrus juice (like lemon, lime, or orange), wine, vinegar (balsamic, red wine, apple cider, etc.) or another acidic liquid. Other seasonings. You can get creative here — anything from Worcestershire sauce to dijon mustard to peanut butter to parsley to garlic to soy sauce can work, depending on whether it pairs well with the other ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste. When your marinade is mixed, put your steaks in an airtight plastic bag or a seal-able fridge container and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them sit in your fridge for at least two hours so that they're able to soak up the flavor of the marinade — some chefs let their meat marinade overnight or even several days to give it an extra dose of flavor. As with pan-searing, good grilled steaks require a high-temperature initial searing to develop their delicious crust. For this reason, you'll want to start your grill or barbecue well before you plan to cook. Keep the lid close to speed up the grill's heating process.  For gas grills, pre-heating is easy — simply set one or more burners to "high" and shut the lid for 5 minutes or so. For charcoal grills, first, you'll need to light your charcoal, wait for it to flame up, and finally ash over before cooking can begin. This process can take upwards of half an hour, so leave yourself plenty of time. Once your charcoals are ready for cooking, spread them out evenly with a grill tool to prepare the entire grill...

If the psychotic individual is not violent,  talk to them in a normal voice.  It is best to give 5 times the amount of space, maintain an open posture, and avoid facing the person squarely, which could appear threatening. Try to comfort them, if they experience or hallucinate something unpleasant. The conversation should be simple; individuals going through a psychotic episode may find communication or speech difficult.  Ask them questions, and if their mind seem to be drifting, try to grab their attention. Make sure to reassure them and let them know that you are there for them. Although you want to avoid blaming or criticizing the psychotic individual, you should also avoid playing into their psychoses. This will only worsen the situation and make the individual’s break with reality more difficult to come back from. However, try not to argue with them or engage in too much discussion with them.   An individual going through a psychotic episode may not realize that what they’re experiencing is unreal or the way they’re acting is abnormal. There's also a small chance that one or more of the things they've noticed are actually real (e.g. they noticed a dog behind a bush that you didn't see), so you don't want to assume right away that something is hallucinated if it's unclear. Instead of saying “Nothing that you’re describing is real; you’re acting crazy and making this up!”, try “I don't see/hear/smell/feel that.” Instead of, “I hear the same voices too,” try saying “I don't hear those voices, but I can tell they are bothering you.” Empathize and validate their feelings. Psychosis can be a frightening and confusing thing to experience. The person may not understand how to handle it. Keep in mind that they can't “snap out of it,” nor is it their fault that this is happening to them. Let the person know that you take them seriously and support them. Here are some examples of helpful things to say:   “I can’t imagine what you are going through, but I’m happy to listen.” “Tell me what you’re experiencing, and I...

TL;DR in English: Hold a calm conversation. Make sure you do not play into the person’s hallucinations. Show understanding. Get them to a doctor. Seek help yourself if you need it.

If you'd rather grill up individual portions to account for particular tastes, want to make grilled tenderloin sandwiches, or you just want to experiment with a few different seasonings, you can remove the tenderloin from the marinade and slice into portions before grilling. Slice 3/4 to an inch thick.  Consider pounding out the steaks to about a half-an-inch, using a meat tenderizer. Place each steak under a clean towel, then use a tenderizing hammer to bang out the steaks and flatten them. In the Midwest, pork tenderloins are pounded out to almost comically-large sizes, roughly the size of a plate. Put together on a bun, the resulting sandwich should resemble nothing so much as the planet Saturn. It's a state fair classic. Cutting into steaks and pounding out the meat should be done after the meat has been marinaded, just before you're about to grill them. Don't try to marinade pounded-out tenderloin. Before grilling, sprinkle your desired seasoning on both sides of the steaks, or simply dress them with a brushing of olive oil, salt, and pepper for a simple and perfect start to a tenderloin sandwich. Lots of flavor comes from searing the meat and creating nice grill marks on the outside of the steaks, then moving the steaks away from direct heat and covering the grill to let them cook for a few more minutes to finish the inside of the meat. Cook for approximately 4 to 6 minutes on each side. If you want to check the temperature, it should be about 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) when it's time to remove the steaks from the grill. After your tenderloins rest for 10-15 minutes, under tin foil, serve them sandwich-style on buns topped with dill pickle, brown mustard, and raw white onion. That's eating.

TL;DR in English: While cool, slice tenderloin into steaks an inch-and-a-half thick. Season both sides of the meat liberally. Sear the pork on each side. Serve grilled tenderloin on a bun, sandwich style.

Purchase a well-draining soil mix and a large pot with holes in the bottom from a plant nursery. Fill the pot with the soil to about halfway full—you will fill it the rest of the way when you plant the onion cutting.  You can also plant your onion bottom outside if your garden has well-draining soil. You can test to see if soil is well-draining by digging a 12 in (30 cm) hole in the soil and filling it with water. If the water drains in 5-15 minutes, the soil is well-draining. When the onion cutting grows white roots from the bottom, position it in the center of the soil. Fill the rest of the pot with soil over the onion until 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) from the top of the pot.  Depending on your preference, you can keep the onion cutting indoors or outdoors in sunny weather. If you plant the whole cut bottom as one piece, you may get more than one new onion but they will likely be crowded together and small.  The number of plants a single onion can grow will vary from 1-6, the onion pictured above can be divided into two.  To get multiple full size new onions from a single onion bottom, use a sharp knife to divide the onion bottom, leaving a portion of the roots on each section, as well as the leaves if it has started sprouting. Watering the onion cutting helps it adapt to its new environment and grow roots faster. Give your onion enough water that the soil is damp to the touch, but not soaking wet. Onions thrive in soil with a high nitrogen content. Spray nitrogen fertilizer directly into the soil and mix it with your hands to give your onion the nutrients it needs to grow.  You can buy nitrogen fertilizer from most garden stores or nurseries. Check the label to determine how much fertilizer to spray into the soil.

TL;DR in English:


Promote your product on social media. Get funding and spread the word using crowd-funding websites. Ask influencers to try and review your product. Contact relevant news outlets about doing a story on your product.

A curious mind seeks to be educated. By asking questions, you can find out a lot of things that many people don't know and won't ever know.  There is no limit to how many questions you can ask, or should ask. Be aware that some people are annoyed by questions. In fact, the less a person knows, and the less patient a person, the more a question will bug that person. That in itself tells you a great deal. Try to expand your mind by learning beyond your comfort zone and seeing how other people think, perceive and understand things.  If you only ever see rom-coms, go and see a documentary or an action film instead. If you only ever read comics, try a novel instead. If you only ever see car rallies, go and see a museum exhibition instead. Curiosity is about pushing yourself beyond what you're used to. There will be times when you feel really uncomfortable, out of your depth and perhaps even upset when trying to learn new things. This can happen especially where you feel dumb, unlearned or when your beliefs and values are challenged. These are the very times when you should keep pushing yourself to learn and to become wiser about whatever it is you've been avoiding.

TL;DR in English: Be curious. Read, watch and see things that you don't know anything about. Challenge yourself.

Wash with lukewarm water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Wipe gently using your bare hands only until your skin is free of excessive oil. Pat dry with a towel instead of rubbing.  Despite popular belief, acne is not caused by dirt. Scrubbing hard, using hot water, or washing more than twice a day can make your acne worse by irritating your skin. Wash again if you gets uncomfortably sweaty. Sweat may make acne worse. . Many people touch their face without thinking, which can trigger a breakout. Try to keep your hands at your side.  If you have oily hair, wash and condition frequently, and keep it out of your face. The physical irritation of your skin causes the breakout, not bacteria from your fingers. Keeping your hands clean won't solve the problem. Some makeup products help prevent acne, and others encourage it. Because skin is particularly susceptible during pregnancy, cosmetic products that did not bother you before can cause acne now. Stick to makeup labeled "non-comedogenic." This is less likely to clog pores. You may want to talk to your doctor about safe cosmetic use during pregnancy. In the United States, the FDA takes pregnancy into consideration when evaluating cosmetics. Not all countries have this level of protection. Although people often blame acne on diet, the connection is shaky. A healthy diet for you and your baby is much more important than an "acne diet" that might not even work. Notably, some anti-acne diets cut fat (with only slight evidence). This is a bad idea while pregnant. Aim to get roughly 25–35 percent of your calories from fat. Oral zinc supplements seem to help acne, even though zinc lotions probably do not. 15 mg of zinc per day (including from food) is recommended during pregnancy, and may even slightly reduce the risk of complications. Stop taking zinc supplements once you start breastfeeding. These are generally not as effective as medication, but the examples here have no risk of harming the baby. These come in two types:  To exfoliate clogged...

TL;DR in English: Wash the affected area gently. Stop touching your face Reevaluate your makeup. Learn about acne and diet. Take zinc supplements. Make natural skin treatments. Be careful with essential oils.

This is an easy, free way to get the word out about your new product. Use your company’s social media accounts to share the information with you customers. You could even begin grabbing their attention with a teaser post, such as hinting at an exciting new product or promotion. These websites allow you to tell lots of people about your product while also offering customers the opportunity to participate in its creation. If you’re still developing your product, this can be a great way to get support and spread the word about your product at the same time. For example, if you’re working on a new video game, you might create a Kickstarter to share a trailer or demo of gameplay. You could offer to include people’s names in credits or even name a character after them for different levels of financial support. Influencers are well known members of an industry who people trust, such as hairstylists who have a strong social media presence and review hair products. Identify influencers who might be able to spread the word about your product and make an impact on its reception. Contact 2-3 influencers via email to try out your product and review it.  For example, if you’re developing a fitness app, you might ask a popular fitness influencer to try the app and review it for you. Keep in mind that you may have to pay an influencer to review a product. This is part of how they make their money. Depending on the type of product you’re launching, contacting news outlets may also help to get the word out. This can be effective whether you’re a local business hoping to attract the attention of your community for a new product launch, or if you’re an online business hoping to drive traffic to your website. Send an email to any and all news outlets you think might be interested in writing about your product to let them know when it will be launching and what it is.

You can avoid ingrown hairs by regularly exfoliating and moisturizing your skin in the weeks before and after the waxing session.  Use a body scrub, loofah or washcloth to exfoliate your skin, or make your own exfoliating body scrub using sugar or salt.  Follow up with a lightweight moisturizing lotion -- if your skin feels sensitive after the wax, make sure it is color and fragrance free. A good tip to make your waxing session more effective is to sprinkle a little baby powder on your (clean) skin before waxing. The baby powder soaks up any moisture or oil from the surface of your skin and helps the wax to stick to the hairs better. It's important to get the temperature right, as burning yourself with hot wax is no fun at all!  Once you've melted the wax, test the temperature by applying a little to the inside of your wrist. The skin here is very sensitive, so if it feels okay, the wax should be at a safe temperature to apply to the rest of your body. However, it's important that the wax is not too cold either, otherwise it won't spread properly! In order for hair to adhere to the wax and be effectively removed, hair must be at least 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) to 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) in length.  Therefore, you should avoid shaving or using any other hair removal methods in the week or two running up to your waxing session. It may be hard to resist -- but you'll get a much smoother result in the end. You also need to be wary of hair that's too long -- use a safety scissors to trim long hair to about 1/2 on inch in length for more efficient waxing. Waxing the same area twice can be very painful and even damaging to the already-sensitive skin. So if you notice any hairs that you missed,  just use a tweezers to pluck them out instead.

TL;DR in English: Avoid ingrown hairs. Use baby powder. Avoid burning yourself with the wax. Make sure hair is long enough before you attempt to wax it. Don't wax the same area twice.

Appeal to the crowd and the judges by using body language that is engaging and fun to watch. This means making eye contact with the audience, smiling at the audience, and putting your body into your performance. Use expansive gestures and movements if you are doing a dance routine or performing with a band. Demonstrate energy and enthusiasm towards the audience, as this will make the audience feel more engaged during your act. Facial expressions are a key element of performance, especially if you are a singer or a dancer. Practice an open expression by keeping your eyes wide and open as you perform. Lift your eyebrows slightly when you are hitting a high note or holding a dance movement. Keep your mouth relaxed and open. Use your smile at the end of your performance to show the audience you are happy with your performance, and they should be as well. Remember that you are performing for an audience, who will be watching your every move. Be aware of how you appear when you perform by practicing your performance in front of a mirror. This could be a full length mirror in your bedroom or a mirror in a dance studio or practice space. Avoid the performance jitters by doing a dry run of your performance in front of a receptive, friendly audience of family and friends. Set up a mock stage and a few seats in your living room. Try to pretend you are in the auditorium where you will be perform at the talent show and give it your all. You should feel more comfortable and confident performing in front of friends and family. After you perform for family and friends, you should ask them for feedback and listen patiently to what they have to say. They may give you basic feedback, like project your singing voice more, hold a certain note, or make sure you acknowledge the crowd at the end of your act. Take this feedback and use it to improve your act so it is ready for the real talent show.

TL;DR in English: Use engaging body language. Pay attention to your facial expressions. Practice in front of a mirror. Do a mock performance for a group of family and friends. Receive feedback and improve your act.

Soldering will not succeed if too much heat is lost to the air or work surface, so you will need to find a specialized surface with low heat conduction. A charcoal soldering block may be the best option for soldering silver, as it reflects heat to create the high temperature silver requires. A magnesia soldering block or a kiln brick are other common options, and may last through more soldering projects than charcoal. These can be purchased at craft stores or jewelry supply stores, and are similar in size and shape to an ordinary building brick. Silver solder is an alloy formed from silver and other metals, designed to join with silver but melt at a lower temperature. You may purchase this as a container of pre-cut chips, or purchase it in sheet or wire form and cut off 1/8 inch (3mm) chips with wire cutters. Do not attempt to use lead solder when soldering silver, as it will usually fail to work and is difficult to remove.   Warning: Avoid silver solders containing cadmium, which may cause health problems if fumes are inhaled. If you are filling a crack, you may want to use a lower-purity "easy" silver solder, as it melts at a lower temperature. For joining two pieces together, use "medium" or "hard" silver solder with more silver content, to create a stronger bond. Note that there is no industry-wide definition for these terms; if you are switching brands and want results similar to what you're used to, look at the percentage of silver content instead. Do not use a soldering iron, as these are intended for use with lower temperature lead solder and may ruin precious metals. Purchase a small oxy-acetylene torch instead from the hardware store, preferably with a flat "chisel tip" rather than a pointed one. Silver quickly conducts heat away from the location exposed tot he flame. Because of this, a small torch tip may make the soldering go much more slowly. A "flux" is necessary to clean the silver's surface and assist in heat transfer. It also helps remove oxides on the silver's surface, which would interfere...

TL;DR in English: Find a charcoal soldering block or other appropriate work surface. Purchase silver solder. Use a torch, not a soldering iron. Select a general purpose flux or brazing flux. Use a fan for ventilation if necessary. Find tweezers and copper tongs. Take precautions with goggles and an apron. Set up a container of water. Heat a container of "pickle."

Inviting 30 people over to your house for beer pong is probably a good reason to bring your ancient Roman vase collection to the attic. Anything you don't want touched, messed with, or potentially broken needs to put out of sight. Shut the doors to rooms you don't want entered, lock them, tidy up the bathroom, and get your home in party condition.  You'll probably want to have garbage bags and cleaning supplies at the ready, too, just to make everything easier. Have games and alternative choices of music out just in case the party needs a little revamping. Get a couple of your closest friends together to help prepare your house for the party. This is also a plus for when guests start showing up; it looks like people are already there and in case someone not so well-known shows up early, it'll save you from an awkward situation. Direct each guest as they show up to the designated food, beverage, and entertainment areas. You want them feeling comfortable right off the bat. Mingle and get to know the people you might not know so well. If there's alcohol involved at your party, make sure everyone who wants to drink has a drink in their hand. Turn the music up enough so that you can still comfortably hear one another. Make sure your guests are comfortable with one another by introducing those that aren't known that well to your group of friends. You may also want to start with the party activities and turn the music up louder to enforce a party atmosphere. Monitor the alcohol counter to keep anyone from overdoing it with hard liquor. For groups that don't know each other, you may need to start conversations rolling. That's why you're the host!  If the party starts reaching a lull, feel free to call it a night. Just start cleaning up and telling people thanks for coming and they'll get the hint. If they don't, just tell them the party's over! They don't have to go home, but they can't stay there.

Know the penalties and jail terms for avoiding local tax obligations through the use of offshore banking.  If you are taxed on worldwide income, it is illegal to not report proceeds earned in an offshore bank/investment account, even though there may be no added tax from that country. If your intention in setting up an offshore account in the Cayman Islands is to skirt tax laws, you cannot do so lawfully. If you are caught skirting tax laws by depositing money into an offshore account, you may face a variety of civil and criminal penalties, including forfeiture of money and possible imprisonment. Having a bank account and an investment account are two different things, each having distinct tax implications.  Offshore bank accounts are administered by banks and offer traditional services associated with holding a bank account: spending, receiving, and transferring funds, along with earning some forms of interest. If you just want to hold money in an offshore account, a bank account is probably your way to go. Offshore investment accounts are administered by investors and can hold money in different currencies, as well as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. They provide greater flexibility than bank accounts, but may come with higher fees. If you want to hold assets in addition to cash overseas, an investment account may be your best bet. Accounts can be opened by mail, precluding the need for you to visit Cayman in order to open an account. Additionally a number of services such as internet banking, mail retaining, credit cards and investment options can be set up on these accounts. You can use the internet or write to your local British embassy for a list of Cayman Islands Banks. Use search terms like "Cayman Private bank account" if you want to deposit more than $300,000 or "Cayman bank account," "Cayman banking," "Cayman banks" for Cayman Islands banks that accept less for opening accounts. Cayman private banks are more about investment and portfolio management than normal banking. Ask each bank you talk to...

TL;DR in English: Understand tax laws in your country. Understand the differences between an offshore account and an investment account. Realize that you don't need to go to the Cayman Islands to open the account. Find a Cayman Islands bank with competitive rates. Ask banks if they require an "apostilles" stamp. Ask for a list of requirements needed to set up an account. Note that some, not all, offshore bank accounts may require far fewer proofs and far less information. Prepare for other requirements sets up by banking institutions that act as safety measures.

Psoriasis medications can often help prevent flare-ups if taken as your doctor recommends. This is especially true for medications that work through your immune system, such as biologics. It is also important not to stop taking medication without consulting your doctor first. Stopping a medication for psoriasis without working with your doctor can cause one type of psoriasis to become a more severe type. Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disorder characterized by itchy, scaly skin rash. The cause of psoriasis is often unknown, but there are known triggers that can aggravate the condition and cause an outbreak, including stress.  Take steps to reduce stress in your life. Try relaxation techniques, such as yoga and meditation. Exercise regularly. Exercise helps release endorphins and can alleviate stress. Damage of the skin (vaccination, bites, scrapes and sunburn) can trigger the formation of new psoriasis lesions. This is called the Koebner phenomenon.  Use protective clothing and care for all scrapes and injuries immediately using hygienic techniques. Prevent sunburns by using sunscreens, protective clothing (hats and long loose clothing), or shades. Also, limit the amount of time you spend in the direct sun. Some medications are known triggers of psoriasis outbreak, including anti-malarial drugs, lithium, inderal, indomethacin and quinidine.  If you suspect that your medication might be triggering psoriasis, ask your doctor for an alternative medication. Do not stop taking a prescription medication suddenly without asking your doctor first. Anything that can affect your immune system may trigger psoriasis flare ups, such as strep throat (Streptococcal pharyngitis), thrush (Candida albicans) and respiratory infections. Seek immediate medical attention if you suspect an infection. One clinical study found that regular beer (but not light beer, wine or other types of alcohol) may be associated with an increased risk of psoriasis outbreak. The risk was 2.3 times higher for women who consumed five or more beers...

TL;DR in English: Take all medications as prescribed. Avoid stress. Avoid injury to skin. Avoid medications that trigger psoriasis. Avoid and treat infections. Do not drink full-calorie beer. Stop smoking. Avoid cold and dry weather.

Wood also makes great mulch, and you can make wood or bark mulch from organic matter from around the yard. Go around your house and collect fallen branches, bark, or tree trimmings that you pruned from your plants. Put on safety glasses and process the wood and bark through a wood chipper to make a mulch.  Bark and wood mulch can be used on its own or combined with leaf mulch. Wood mulch is ideal for established gardens and plants, but shouldn’t be used with young plants.  You can rent a wood chipper from a hardware store if you don’t have one of your own. Wood decomposes more slowly than leaves, so this would be a good mulch for long term use. Grass clippings make an ideal addition to leaf mulch, though they aren't as effective when used alone. After mowing your lawn, rake up the grass clippings. Mix the clippings in with the leaf mulch and use a spade or pitchfork to mix them together. If your mower has a bag to collect grass, simply pour the contents of the bag into the leaf mulch when you're done. Like grass clippings, fallen pine needles can also be mixed with leaf mulch. Pine mulch is best used with acid-loving plants. Rake up needles from around your yard and combine them with the leaf mulch using a shovel or pitchfork. Newspaper and other types of paper from around the house can also be recycled and turned into mulch. Collect the paper and use an electric shredder or scissors to shred the paper into small pieces. Combine the paper shreds with the leaf mulch and use as normal.

In medical studies, nearly half of the population has been shown to have characteristics of sensitive skin.  These include redness and/or abnormal stinging, tingling, or burning sensations that occur in response to certain triggers (which can vary from person to person). If you have very sensitive skin with redness and bumps, particularly if you are a woman over 20, you may have a common skin condition called rosacea. This skin condition is also common in people who have had acne. There are several subtypes of rosacea, so it’s best to see a dermatologist if your skin is very sensitive and prone to redness. Triggers are highly variable between people, and it takes experience to find out what causes your skin to become irritated (it will be different for each person). Triggers may include:  particular weather (such as sun, heat, wind, and/or cold) certain cosmetics certain soaps stress your menstrual cycle (for females), although this one cannot be avoided. Using the wrong products can worsen your sensitive skin, so it is best to get a handle on what works for you before attempting to add acne treatments. Avoid products that contain alcohol, menthol, or “exfoliating” agents. These can irritate skin and make acne worse.  In general, using fewer products on your skin is better. Look for products that are labeled "hypoallergenic" at the drug store or pharmacy. Or, ones with fewer ingredients (and more natural ingredients) tend to be a better bet. Always observe the response of your skin to various cosmetics and soaps. Go by trial and error and eliminate those that cause you trouble.

TL;DR in English: Understand that sensitive skin is very common. Identify what triggers your sensitive skin, and avoid these whenever whenever possible. Select appropriate cosmetics and skin care agents for your skin.

Your logo and slogan go hand in hand. A slogan works best when it is accompanied by a logo. Your logo should be clear and easy for your audience to understand. Your slogan should be once sentence or less.  Have another person review your logo to see if it makes sense. If it takes a long time to understand it or figure out what it is, you need to change it. If you are trying to convey that you are trustworthy and reliable your slogan might be “A clean you can trust.” If you are trying to convey the versatility of the services you offer, you may say, “No mess is too small” or “There’s not any mess we can’t handle.” Your business card should appeal to your target audience and reflect your personal style. You may take a look at other cleaning professionals to see what cards are standard for your industry. No matter what design you choose, your business card should have the following information:  Your name Title of company Address Phone number E-mail address Website Your flyer should be brief, eye-catching, and to the point. Draw your customers in with a catchy headline (e.g. No time to clean? Let us take care of it!). Focus on the information that your customers need to know such as the benefits of your business, any special promotions, why your business is better than the competition, and your contact information.  If you do not want to create a flyer from scratch, there are many templates available online. Remember to appeal to your target audience. Use a font that is easy to read and speak directly to your customers by using the word "you" in your flyer. If you plan to contact higher income families, you may post flyers in high-income neighborhoods with small children. If you are looking for busy adults, you may post your residential cleaning services in the business district. Direct mail is good for targeting a certain neighborhood or geographic area. You can either mail out advertisements yourself or use a direct mail advertising company.  The United States Postal Service has a direct mail delivery service...

TL;DR in English: Brand your business with a slogan and logo. Create a business card. Create a flyer. Use direct mail. Contact your local Small Business Development Center Business (SBDC) Advisor.

Without your knowledge, there could be someone attempting to hack your computer to access your personal files.  However, you can prevent hackers from accessing your information by installing security software to your computer.  Some examples of security software include Norton and McAfee. Though you may desire to share many aspects of your personal life onto social media, don’t post overly personal information, like your address or phone number.  Be very hesitant in trusting the world with that kind of information. Your passwords will allow access to your most personal information, including your email and bank account.  Never share this information with anyone, especially those who you have met online. Make sure your passwords are slightly complex and are something only you would know. Beyond your address and passwords, you should be cautious with everything that you are posting.  Pictures, statuses, and location updates all give strangers more and more information about you, information that could potentially be dangerous.  Ask yourself “would I want everyone to know this?” before you post anything. Avoid posting overly revealing pictures as these can elicit responses from potential predators online. Remember that online, people can pretend to be anyone.  Though you may have seen a picture of someone, you have no way of knowing if that is really them unless you FaceTime or Skype.  Also, any information people share with you could be completely false.  Remember this and proceed with caution.  Should you choose to meet, meet in a public place in the middle of the day and make sure you are not followed home. Consider meeting them with your friends as a group. If you are younger than 18, ask your parents if you can meet someone online.

Consider adding some variation to your bacon. Add some spices to the bacon. Marinate the bacon with sauce, salad dressing, or syrup. Make some bacon pancakes.

Sprains come in 3 grades. A grade 1 sprain has slight tearing of the ligaments, and will result in mild tenderness and swelling. A grade 2 sprain has partial ligament tearing,and moderate tenderness and swelling. A grade 3 sprain is a complete tear of the ligament, and will have significant swelling and tenderness around the ankle.  A grade 1 sprain usually does not require medical attention. A grade 3 sprain should almost always be seen by a doctor to make sure there is no other damage to the ankle. Home treatment and management for all 3 grades is the same, but the higher the grade the longer it will take for the ankle to heal. A grade 1 sprain may not require any medical attention, but grades 2-3 should be seen by a doctor. If your sprain prevents you from comfortably putting weight on your ankle for more than a day, or if you experience severe pain and swelling, call your doctor to make an appointment as soon as possible. Avoid walking on your ankle as much as possible until the swelling goes down and it doesn’t hurt to put weight on the sprained ankle. Try not to put weight on the ankle either. If necessary, use crutches to help distribute your weight and keep your balance when you walk. You may consider using an elastic ankle brace as well. Braces add stability and can help control swelling while the ligaments are healing. Depending on the severity of the sprain, you may need the brace for 2-6 weeks. Wrap a handful of ice, an ice pack, or a bag of frozen peas in a dish towel or a thin piece of cloth. Apply the ice compress to the injured ankle, and hold it there for 15 to 20 minutes. Repeat this every 2-3 hours for as long as swelling persists.  Apply ice to your ankle even if you plan to go to the doctor. Ice limits inflammation, especially during the first 24 hours of the injury. Applying ice to any sprain will help reduce overall swelling and bruising. Alternatively, you can fill a bucket with ice water and immerse your foot and ankle. Leave the ice off at least 20-30 minutes between applications....

TL;DR in English: Determine the severity of the sprain. See your doctor for moderate or severe sprains. Rest your ankle until the swelling goes down. Ice your ankle to limit swelling and dull pain. Compress your ankle Elevate your ankle above the level of your heart. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever.

You can make your bacon more flavorful by marinating it or rubbing spices onto it before frying it. You can also combine it with other food items. This section will give you some ideas on how to add extra flavor to your bacon. To learn how to fry bacon, refer to the section in this article on frying bacon. You can give your bacon an extra burst of flavor by rubbing a combination of spices onto it. Make sure that the bacon is room temperature before adding the spices. Let the spices sit on the bacon for a few minutes before frying it. Here are some combinations:  1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon apple or pumpkin pie spice.  1 teaspoon brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon of cracked pepper.  1 tablespoon of granulated garlic and 1 tablespoon of paprika.  1 ½ tablespoons of dark brown sugar. Put some bacon in a dish and cover it with a sauce, salad dressing, or syrup of your choosing. Make sure that both sides of the bacon are coated. Let the bowl sit in the fridge for 30 minutes, then fry as usual. Consider marinating the bacon with any of the following:  1 cup pineapple juice plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce Italian salad dressing Molasses Teriyaki sauce Maple syrup. Thinner, Vermont-style maple syrup works best.  Note that sweet sauces and dressings will caramelize when you fry the bacon. This will result in some stickiness and messiness. While not quite seasoning or marinating, it is possible to combine the two best breakfast foods: bacon and pancakes. Prepare some pancake batter and fry some bacon. Take the bacon out of the skillet or frying pan, set it on some paper towels, and pour out the grease. Place the bacon back onto the skillet or pan, leaving 2 inches (5.1 cm) of space between each slice. Pour the batter along each slice of bacon and let it cook until the batter starts to turn bubbly (about 1 to 2 minutes). Flip the bacon pancake over, and let it cook until the bottom turns golden (about 2 minutes).

Before loading the revolver, you must remove the manufacturer's preservative and/or any built-up grime. To do so thoroughly, you'll need to disassemble the gun. The exact disassembly process will vary by manufacturer, so check on the procedure before continuing. Scrub all parts of the disassembled gun with a cotton swab to strip the grease away. Dip the swab in a cleaning solvent or hot, soapy water.  Scrub the interior of all cylinder chambers with the cotton swab. Set the cylinder down so that all of the chambers face downward. This will allow the water or solvent to drain. Pass a cleaning patch soaked with solvent or hot, soapy water through the barrel. Pass clean, dry swabs or patches through each chamber and through the barrel to finish the cleaning process. As you reassemble the revolver, you should oil all moving parts and grease the grooves of the cylinder pin.  Note that reassembly will vary by gun manufacturer. As with disassembly, you should check on the exact procedure before continuing. Use a natural lubricant instead of a petroleum-based one. Apply a light coating of your chosen lubricant to all moving parts of the gun. Do not oil the gun heavily since doing so can cause fouling. You should also lightly grease each ball you'll be firing and the opening of each chamber. Even if you just reassembled the revolver, it's a good idea to verify that the gun is currently unloaded before continuing. At this time, you should also put on your safety goggles and hearing protection. Set the hammer in its half cocked position. Aim the gun at a safe target and squeeze the trigger.  The hammer should not move. If you can squeeze the trigger and the hammer falls, the revolver is broken and unsafe. Do not load it. Instead, you must have the gun repaired. The half cocked position acts as the revolver's "safety" position. Slide a cleaning rod or wooden dowel down the barrel and mark rod at the muzzle. You need to make sure that the chamber is aligned with the barrel.  Remove the rod and lay it along the outside of...

Check the oil weekly. Check the brake and power steering fluids and engine coolant transmission fluids monthly or before a long trip to be sure they are full. Check fluids when the engine is cold. Fill the wiper fluid if necessary. Read the owner's manual for directions on how to check the fluids. Engine fluid levels—including oil, brake fluid, and power steering fluids—are easy to check via dipsticks found under the hood. Engine coolant is visible in a plastic container apart from the radiator on newer vehicles. Although you can take have the battery tested by a mechanic, you can check for obvious signs of corrosion on the terminals or for signs of cracks or leaks. Have the battery fixed or replaced immediately if you find anything wrong.   It's a good idea to check them periodically even if you aren't going on a long trip.

TL;DR in English: Check fluids in the car periodically. Have the battery tested before a trip. Activate your windshield wipers and sprayer to be certain they work. Check your air filter before a long trip, as it can affect fuel efficiency and engine performance. Make sure the spare tire is inflated and serviceable and the jack is present.

Give new hires a brief tour, pointing out things like different departments, restrooms, break rooms, conference rooms, and the offices of VIPs. People usually don’t start to feel at ease until they become familiar with their environment.  Be sure to let them know if smoking is prohibited on company property. Point out areas of special interest, like where people like to socialize and where they should never go. Part of any orientation is learning the names of the people you’ll be working with. Not only does familiarizing a new employee with coworkers make them more comfortable, it cuts down on confusion and tension in the new worker’s adjustment. Instead of a boring list of employees, make a collage of employee faces so that the new employee feels like they are joining a community instead of just a job. Even if the new employee you’ve taken under your wing works in a different department, you can still point out the most helpful places and coworkers at your company.  You can connect them with people who are known to be friendly, and people whose job is similar to your new employee’s so that they can get guidance. You can direct them to areas of assistance, like Human resources (HR) for details on health insurance or the company purchaser for supplies they might need. No matter what job a new employee has, they will need supplies to make it happen. Part of the new recruit’s first tour should be the supply closet so they don’t waste others’ time (and their own) looking for materials. See to it that their desk is stocked with enough supplies to get them started.

The idea for a business can come from a variety of sources. Perhaps you've noticed a problem in your life or the life of someone close to you that lacks a solution. Or maybe the industry that you've worked in for years is in need of a shakeup. Alternately, maybe you're just looking for a business idea that you can sell to customers and make profitable. Brainstorm ideas for days or weeks and come up with a list of reasonable ideas. When you have a list, consider, for each business idea:  Who are your potential customers? How would you set up the business model? Where are you going to get your supplies/materials from? Do you know enough about this industry to make it work? No business, especially a small one, can appeal to all customers. In fact, a business is usually defined by the customers or markets they choose not to serve. To become successful, you'll have to identify the niche in the market where your audience is. Start by thinking of what type of customers you want to serve. Are they individuals or businesses? Then, look at the problem your business is solving from their perspective. What type of solutions do they want and how should it be done? Then, you can work within this niche to sell to your customers. Just make sure that your niche is substantial enough to sustain your growth. The first step to actually starting a business is to write a business plan for it. This will give you a basic structure that you can use to plan your goals and decisions. Keep in mind that this plan can be edited over time as you learn new strategies and adapt to your market.  At minimum, a business plan should include a summary of the plan, a business description, market strategies, an analysis of competition, a growth plan, operation and management plans, and how financing will be acquired.  See how to write a business plan for more information. . A break-even analysis tells you, quite simply, how long your business will have to be running to turn a profit. This is a helpful tool for understanding how much money you will...

Choose fresh, nutrient-rich, healthy, low-fat foods.  Adding a lot of vegetables and fruits to your diet will help you. One way to add more fruits and veggies to your diet, cut calories, and still enjoy the foods you love is to add or "hide" veggies to dishes. Researchers have found that adding pureed vegetables to dishes (e.g., cauliflower to mac and cheese) helped people eat a few hundred calories less of the dishes. Veggies add but bulk to a dish but not really a ton of extra calories. Get a lot of color on your plate. Make sure your meals have lots of colors; the best way to do this is by adding lots of fresh produce, from eggplant to beets to kale to yellow peppers. This color blocking usually helps you eat more produce and makes the meal look appetizing and appealing at the same time! Fiber-rich foods keep you full for longer, so that you don't reach for unhealthy snacks that will only make you gain weight. Beans, for example, are filling, high in fiber and are an excellent source of protein. They're also slow to digest, meaning that you feel satisfied for a while (which may in turn stop you from eating more!) Instead of drinking juices or smoothies, which tend to be high in calories, opt instead to eat a whole piece of fruit, like an apple. Eating a whole piece of fruit fills you up more than juice because raw fruit has more fiber. In addition, the act of chewing the fruit communicates to the brain that you've eaten something substantial. Studies have shown that people who eat foods with high water content have lower body mass indexes. The water in these foods helps keep you full for longer so you eat less overall.  Watermelon and strawberries have about 92 percent water per volume. Other fruits with high water content include grapefruit, cantaloupe, and peaches. Remember, though, that many fruits are high in sugar, so try to limit how much fruit you eat daily. For vegetables, cucumber and lettuce have the highest water content at 96 percent. Zucchini, radish and celery have a water content of 95...

TL;DR in English: Eat more fresh food. Eat foods high in fiber. Skip the juices, eat the fruit. Eat foods that contain a lot of water, like fruits and vegetables. Include foods that improve your metabolism Add good fats to your diet. Eat superfoods. Avoid unhealthy food with empty calories. Eat more soups. Feed your temptations once in a while.

If you are constantly on the go, it can help to prepare some healthy snacks so you can reach for them easily and quickly. Having healthy snacks on hand means you will less tempted to get fast food to go or opt for a prepackaged meal.  Cut up fruit like apples, pears, and oranges the night before and pack them in plastic bags or tupperware. Fruit makes a great, easy snack that is also good for you. Nuts like almonds and cashews are a great source of protein that won’t make you sleepy or drowsy throughout the day. Put a handful of almonds or cashews in a plastic bag and stash them in your purse or bag so they are easy to get to when you find yourself craving a snack. If you tend to crave something crunchy, go for homemade popcorn, tossed with sesame oil and sesame seeds, for a healthier alternative to potato chips. Rather than overhaul your entire diet, focus on choosing the healthier option for at least one meal a day. Choose a salad and a smoothie over a burger and fries for lunch or go for a healthy stir fry with vegetables over steak and potatoes at dinner. Try to be consistent about going for a healthy option for at least one meal a day to reduce your calorie intake and stay health conscious. Artificial sugars can be found in many prepackaged foods, such as baked goods, candy, sauces, and dips. Many artificial sweeteners for coffee and tea can also lead to health issues.  If possible, substitute artificial sugar in your meals with natural sugars like maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar. These natural sweeteners contain minerals and nutrients that are good for you and can taste as good or better than artificial sugars. Rather than have a prepackaged cookie or candy, have a piece of dark chocolate. Dark chocolate contains antioxidants and contains less sugar than milk chocolate or other sweets. Try to integrate natural sweeteners like honey, agave, and maple syrup into your baking. This will help you to avoid processed and artificial sugars and ensure your baked goods are healthy alternatives to store bought...
