If you’re going into a chigger hot spot or any area with tall vegetation, prevent chiggers from attaching to you by concealing as much skin as possible. Wear long sleeves, long pants, long socks, and tall boots. Opt for tightly-woven fabrics over airy, loosely-woven ones. Chiggers are small enough to find their way in between the gaps present between threads of loosely-woven fabrics, but they will have a significantly harder time finding their way through clothes with smaller gaps. Chiggers can find their way to your skin by hopping onto your clothes and crawling underneath. To get rid of them before this happens, seal off any openings to your skin as best as possible. Focus especially on areas from the waist down, since chiggers often move from tall grass to your lower body.  Tuck your socks into your pants or your pant legs into your socks, sealing off the gap of skin between them. Tuck your shirt into your pants. Chiggers like to nibble on areas with thinner skin, such as the genitals—ouch! If venturing into tall grass or weeds, tie off your sleeves around the wrists with rubber bands or ribbon. When possible, wear clothes with zippers rather than buttons. Certain strong odors, including sulfur powder, are reputedly effective at driving chiggers away. Sprinkle a fine dusting of sulfur powder into your shoes and/or socks to drive off any chiggers lurking in the grass and weeds by your feet.  For even better protection, consider sprinkling a light dusting of sulfur powder over the inside of your shirt and pants. Note that sulfur powder has a potent odor, which may make it a less than ideal solution if you have a particularly sensitive sense of smell. There’s also not much reliable evidence to prove that this method really works. DEET is one of the most effective bug repellents for use against chiggers and other mites. Apply the repellent to your exposed skin, especially on the hands, arms, and legs. You can also apply it to your clothing (but not your skin underneath clothing) in these areas.  DEET...

TL;DR in English: Cover your skin with tightly-woven fabrics to block chiggers. Tuck or tie off all openings in your clothes. Sprinkle sulfur powder in your socks and shoes. Use a repellent containing diethyltoluamide (DEET). Try permethrin treatments for your clothes. Avoid venturing into tall grass whenever possible. Don’t sit or lie on the ground, especially anywhere near a potential hot spot.

Baking soda is used in many household cleaners and air fresheners because it naturally absorbs odors. Take advantage of this quality by making a baking soda wash for your hands. Start by mixing the baking soda and water together with a spoon until it forms a paste.  If the baking soda is still too powdery, add a little more water. Don't dump in so much that the mixture is mostly liquid. This won't stay on your hands and the smell will remain. Scrub your hands and get the mixture in all the places the fish touched. This allows the baking soda to neutralize the odors from the fish. Remember to scrub between your fingers and the backs of your hands as well. Then let the paste sit on your hands for about a minute. Scrub well so you get rid of all the remaining scales and remnants of the fish. Any particles left behind might still smell. When you’ve scrubbed your hands with the baking soda paste, rinse your hands under the faucet. This should remove any remaining baking soda residue as well as the fish odor. If your hands still feel sticky or there is baking soda residue on them, wash your hands normally with soap and water.

TL;DR in English: Pour 2 tbsp (28.6 g) of baking soda into a bowl and add  1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of water. Rub the paste all over your hands. Rinse your hands with water.

Quitting cold turkey means deciding to quit smoking completely without the help of nicotine replacement therapy or drugs. This requires perseverance and independence. Only 3-10% of people have been able to successfully quit smoking cold turkey because of the drastic change this makes in their lives. Before you try quitting cold turkey, you should understand the advantages and disadvantages of the process.   Advantages:  If you have to quit because you have a serious health problem as a result of your smoking, quitting cold turkey will be the quickest way to improve your health or to keep it from further deteriorating. You will also be more motivated to do it on your own if you have a serious health risk. You may feel more pain, but you'll feel it for a shorter amount of time. Instead of spending months or even a year dealing with medication and nicotine therapy and slowly weaning your body off nicotine, you will be able to conquer your addiction more quickly if you do succeed.    Disadvantages:  You may experience intense and unpleasant withdrawal symptoms, such as depression, insomnia, irritability, and anxiety. You have less of a chance of success if you quit cold turkey than if you try to use a combination of other methods. Making a game plan will help you be more firm about your decision to quit and will make you more committed to the process. You should pick a day on your calendar for starting to quit and mark off every day that you have successfully gone without smoking. Pick a time of your week or month that will be the most stress-free, where you'll be less likely to break down and want a cigarette.  Know your triggers. Write down the triggers that lead you to smoking, whether it's drinking whisky, going to parties, or even listening to jazz. Decide how you can avoid them.  Keep reminding yourself why you want to quit. Once you start your plan, keep telling yourself that you want to quit for health reasons, for your family, and for your friends. You can even write a motivational note to yourself and...

TL;DR in English:


Get some mini, plastic drawer units. Use plastic ice cube trays to store pairs of earrings. Use plastic buttons to keep pairs of earrings together. Store small earrings in plastic pill organizers. Poke stud earrings into a long strip of ribbon to keep them together. Use a piece of plastic canvas to keep stud earrings together in a jewelry box or drawer. Make a simple earring organizer out of an egg carton.

Avoid forgetting any tasks or appointments by always writing it down in a work designated notepad. You can use a digital notepad or a pen and paper. Show your professionalism by taking notes during meetings to stay organized and on track. To communicate professionally, you need to show you can write and speak with confidence and clarity. Be an active listener during meetings and discussions and wait until someone is finished speaking to share your thoughts. Speak slowly and concisely so everyone can understand your points and make note of them.  Take care not to speak over someone else and apologize if you inadvertently interrupt someone. If you notice problems or issues around a certain project or client, speak up to your coworkers and your superiors. Don't ignore or avoid these conflicts. Instead, face them head on by alerting others to the issues and working together to try to problem solve. If the issue is sensitive, schedule a time to speak to your supervisor privately. Most workplaces encourage managing your time effectively by using email or a phone call to discuss minor decisions or issues. Avoid calling a meeting for topics that could be addressed in 5 minutes with a quick email exchange or phone call. Wasting other people's time with unnecessary meetings can be seen as unprofessional.  Research your question or issue before bringing it to everyone else's attention. Look through your emails or office memos to ensure you aren't missing information that has been disseminated. There may be an instance where you need to call a face to face meeting to discuss a major issue. If this is the case, send a meeting invitation by email to your coworkers and/or clients. Check your coworkers' calendars to ensure they are available during the proposed time. Another key way to demonstrate professionalism is to be willing to learn from feedback. Remember that good feedback should be about your work and your results. It should never be personal. Getting angry or defensive about feedback can make you appear...

TL;DR in English: Bring a notepad with you to meetings and discussions. Speak clearly, and speak up when necessary. Use email or the telephone, unless you need to discuss something face to face. Learn to take feedback and act on it.

Your ex will probably find reasons to contact you if they’re still interested. Check how often they call, text, or talk to you in person. Similarly, consider if they start the conversation back up after it has ended. This might be a sign they like you. For example, your ex might text you to ask questions they probably know the answer to. They might ask, “Do we have an assignment due tomorrow?” “Do you know if Candy’s party is still on Saturday?” or “I hope it’s okay that we’re both going to mini golf tomorrow.” If they start telling happy stories about your relationship, it means they’re thinking about good times. This is a sign that they might still like you. Listen when your ex starts talking about old times to see if they’re focusing on the good parts of your relationship. They might say, “Remember that time we had a candlelight picnic under the stars. That was such a good night,” or “I still remember how much we laughed at the improv theater. We had such good times together.” When you’re feeling upset, it’s natural for a person who cares about you to make sure you’re okay. Notice if your ex always seems to be there for you when you need someone. Additionally, consider if they’re willing to listen to you talk about your problems.  As an example, let’s say you post on social media that your relative is in the hospital. Your ex might immediately text, “Are you okay?” Keep in mind that this might not mean they like you in a romantic way. They might check up on you because they still care about you as a friend. Typically, you go to someone you trust when you need advice. Consider how often your ex relies on you for advice about their problems. If your ex consistently comes to you, this means they probably still feel close to you. It might even mean they still like you. For example, they might tell you about problems they’re having at work or school. Then, they might ask what you think they should do. Bringing up their mistakes means that they’re thinking about what they could have done differently. This may...

TL;DR in English: Track how often your ex reaches out to talk or text. Notice if your ex brings up nostalgic moments in your relationship. See if they check on you when you’re going through hard times. Notice if they come to you for advice. Pay attention if they start talking about their past mistakes.

They are actually meant for storing office supplies, but they work great for earrings! You will typically find them in the storage section or office supply section. If you'd like, you can line the bottom of each drawer with a piece of foam. This way, you can poke your earrings into the foam to keep them in place.   Choose a small one that is about 6 to 8 inches (15.24 to 20.32 centimeters) tall. Don't like the color? Pull the drawers out, and spray paint it! You can also decorate the box with glitter glue pens and/or pretty rhinestones. Store each type of earring in a different drawer. For example, you could keep all of your stud or post earrings in one drawer, and all of your hook earrings in another. This is a great option if you have lots of earrings. It won't work well for large, statement, or giant hoop earrings, but it's perfect for smaller earrings, including studs. You can keep the tray out on top of your dresser/counter, or you can store it in a drawer. This will work best for stud earrings, but it might also work for hook earrings. Also, buttons with two holes will work better than those with four. Once you have your earrings in the buttons, you can keep them in a box, dish, or drawer.  Avoid coat buttons or buttons that have a single loop in the back. This will work best for stud earrings, but it can also work for small hook earrings as well. Store each pair of earrings in each compartment. If you'd like, you can spray paint the box a different color, or decorate it with stickers. Use a thick, sturdy ribbon, such as grosgrain. It will last longer and will be less likely to tear or run. Something that is between 1 and 2 inches (2.54 and 5.08 centimeters) will work the best. Store the ribbon in a box or drawer, or hang it on your wall with a thumb tack or pushpin. Get a piece of plastic canvas from the craft store, and cut it down to the size you want. Poke your stud earrings through it, then put it into your jewelry box or drawer. Weave ribbon around the edges of your plastic canvas to make it...

It may be easier for the dyslexic adult to speak than to write. For people who have word-retrieval difficulties, grapho-motor weaknesses, or problems putting their ideas onto paper, using a speech recognition program may help with this process.  Some examples of this software include Dragon Naturally Speaking and Dragon Dictate. Using this software, you can dictate emails, craft essays, or surf the internet using voice commands. Many electronic readers (e-readers) now contain the option for text-to-speech and audio books, and many publishers include text-to-speech options when they sell a digital book. The three main digital platforms for text-to-speech options are tablet computers: the Kindle Fire HDX, the iPad, and Nexus 7.  The Kindle Fire HDX has a feature called Immersion Reading, which syncs highlighted Kindle text with professionally narrated audio from Audible. Nexus 7 allows for multiple settings for different users, which could prove useful if you share a tablet with other family members. There are a wide variety of apps available to help support dyslexic learners of any age. There are text-to-speech apps, such as Blio, Read2Go, Prizmo, Speak It! Text to Speech, and Talk to Me. Flipboard, and Dragon Go are search options which rely on voice command, allowing the user to bypass printed text. Reminder apps, such as Textminder or VoCal XL, will schedule text reminders of calendar listings, classes, meetings, medications, etc.

TL;DR in English: Use speech-to-text software. Use text-to-speech feature. Get familiar with apps.

Autism has a wide range of aspects that vary from person to person. Since autism is a developmental disability, communication and social skills tend to be a challenge. Specific symptoms vary. Autism is not a linear spectrum from "mild" to "severe." It impacts many different areas in different ways. For example, maybe your friend is funny and great at cheering people up, and has serious difficulty with self-care and sensory processing. An autistic person can be strong in one area and weak in another. It is important to understand your loved one's symptoms. Once you understand where the challenges lie, you can target those areas. Find out what strengths your loved one has, and what challenges they face. All of these components are important when choosing treatment options and coping mechanisms. It is good to know the general signs, and what autistic people think about autism. (Autistic-run organizations and blogs are usually good sources.) Here are a few signs of autism:  Motor skills may be delayed Difficulty understanding and interacting with others Difficulty grasping abstract uses of language (e.g. sarcasm, metaphors) Special interests that are unusual in terms of focus and passion Over- or under-sensitivity to various stimuli (sounds, sights, smells, etc.) Difficulty with self care Repetitive behavior, notably stimming One autistic person might want to focus on developing the self-care skills to live on their own, while another might want to make friends. Others might be perfectly fine with living in assisted living, or not making more friends. Recognize that your idea of the ideal lifestyle might differ from their idea, and it's most important that they are able to be happy. Autistic people are not embarrassing, broken, or deficient—simply different. Instead of saying "I'll finally be happy when my loved one _____," practice being happy now, and embarking on your journey together. Demonstrate unconditional love, so they can love themselves.

TL;DR in English: Recognize that autism is a deeply complex spectrum. Consider your loved one’s specific strengths and challenges. Be knowledgeable about autism. Understand that every autistic person's goals are different. Accept them as they are.

It’s important to make it clear that you are saying no to whatever she has asked or offered. Don’t say something vague that leaves the door open to things happening between you later on. Always answer her directly so she knows you are rejecting her.  An example of what not to say is, “Thanks for asking. I’m not sure right now, but maybe it will work out at some point.” This leaves it open that you might be interested. Say something like, “It feels good that you’re interested in me, but honestly I don’t feel the same. Thanks for asking, but I have to say no thanks to your offer.” When you reject her, it’s not always necessary to give a reason. If you give a specific reason, she may think that it’s temporary. Unless you really have a reason you feel you have to give her, stick to letting her down without a specific reason.  Don’t say, “I don’t think I want to date right now. I’ve just started this new job and I know it’s going to keep me busy.” This implies that later on you’d be free to engage in a relationship. For example, if a friend asks you on a date, don’t say, “I don’t like to date friends.” She may try to convince you. Simply say, “I’m going to have to pass. Thanks for the offer.” You may be tempted to ask if she wants to be friends or do something together that’s not a date. Don’t do this. If you know you aren’t interested in the way she is, don’t come up with something to soften the blow. Let your no simply be a no.  For example, you meet a girl at a friend’s party and she asks you out on a date for the next weekend. Don’t say, “I don’t know about a date, but some of us are hanging out at the lake if you want to join.” If you chat with a girl at a bar, say, “It’s been fun talking to you, but I’m not interested in pursuing something beyond this conversation.”

Ensure you’re getting your vitamin E. Get your vitamin C. Eat garlic.

Activated charcoal is available at drug stores and natural health stores. It's commonly used as a remedy for indigestion, so it usually comes in the form of capsules. This pure black, all-natural substance is perfect for creating homemade eyeliner.  This is not the same as the type of charcoal you burn to cook food on the grill. Look for a jar of capsules labeled "activated charcoal" in the vitamin section of the store. If you can't find activated charcoal locally, it's available for purchase online. One bottle provides enough charcoal to make many year's worth of eyeliner. You can use an old eye shadow or lip balm pot, a tiny tin, or any other container you have on hand. Break the activated charcoal capsules into the container. You can use plain activated charcoal as eyeliner without mixing it with anything else. The charcoal will naturally mix with the oil on your skin to stay in place once you apply it. Dip your eyeliner brush into the container and apply eyeliner in your favorite style. If you like your eyeliner to have more of a paste or gel consistency, you can mix the activated charcoal with water or oil to make it a little damp. Start with just one or two drops, and keep mixing more in until your eyeliner reaches the consistency you want. Try mixing in one of the following ingredients:  Water Jojoba oil Almond oil Coconut oil Aloe vera gel

TL;DR in English: Buy some activated charcoal. Break a few capsules into a small container. Dip your eyeliner brush into the charcoal. Experiment with different textures.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that stimulates and enhances your immune cells and aids with circulating oxygen. Take up to 400 milligrams a day in supplement form. It can be hard to get enough vitamin E through your diet but it is naturally found in avocados, seeds, vegetable oils, and grains. This antioxidant boosts your white blood cells, antibodies, and interferon, all to improve your immune system. Try to get at least 200 milligrams of vitamin C a day by eating six servings of fruits and vegetables such as citrus fruits, strawberries, raspberries, broccoli, spinach, and bell peppers. Garlic contains allicin and sulphur compounds that provide you with antibacterial and detoxification properties. Eating a clove of garlic a day may help you recover faster.

If you have a hookworm infection, the first symptom you will notice is generally that your skin is itchier than normal. The itching begins with the hookworm larvae enter your skin. You may also notice the skin swelling and becoming red in the area where the itching sensation is the worst. This is also caused by the larvae entering your skin. People commonly feel hookworm itch in their hands and feet. When the hookworm enters your intestines, it can aggravate your intestines, leading to nausea and diarrhea. The hookworm can also release toxins that disrupt your digestive system. The nausea may occur with or without vomiting. Look for blood in your stool. The blood could be red or black. Hookworms can cause your colon to become inflamed. They can also irritate the lining of your intestine, which is comprised of the colon, cecum and rectum. When this occurs you might experience cramps in your abdomen. This symptom only occurs in severe hookworm infections. Hookworms feed directly on their hosts blood, which can lead to their host becoming iron deficient. Signs that you are iron deficient include:  Extreme fatigue and overall weakness. Pale skin and eyes. Chest pain and headache. Shortness of breath.

TL;DR in English: Keep track of when your skin suddenly becomes itchy and you notice a rash. Keep track of nausea and diarrhea you experience. Keep track of cramps you experience. Take note if you suddenly develop an iron deficiency.

Depending on the layout of your room, you may have little choice as to where the screen must go, but if possible, choose a wall that has no direct light, as light on the screen will make the image look washed out.  If you must choose a wall that receives direct light, consider an ambient light rejecting projector screen or, if you’re painting your screen on the wall, you can use ambient light rejecting paint (available at hardware stores).  You might also consider buying blackout curtains for your windows. This will again depend upon the layout of your room. If you only have a couch and some chairs in the room (i.e. not theater-style seating in rows), an appropriate height would be between 24 and 36 inches (61 and 91.5 centimetres) off the floor.  If you have multiple rows in your home theatre, you’ll want to have the screen a bit higher so that people who aren’t in the front row can still properly see whatever images or films you are projecting on to the screen.  When deciding on how far above the floor to place the screen, always keep the screen size in mind, as starting it too high off the ground might not leave enough room for the entire screen. This will be the height and width on which you wish to project the images from your projector. Keep the measurements handy, as you will need them while calculating where to mount your projector. Most projectors can create a high-quality 100-in. (254-cm, or 8.33-foot) image, so if you’re unsure of what size of screen to get — and your room can accommodate it — you should be safe with something close to 100 in.

TL;DR in English: Decide on the best location for the screen. Decide on your screen height. Know your screen size.

If you have other dogs or cats in your home, you need to take your time introducing your new puppy to them. When you first bring your puppy home, keep him separate from your other animals. For their first meeting, find neutral territory, such as a neighbor's yard, a park, or other open space. There also needs to be a fence or other open but restricted barrier there so you can keep the animals apart.  Put a leash on all the animals and then put your new puppy on one side of the fence and your other animals on the other. Let them sniff each other through the barrier for around 30 minutes. The next day, take them back to a neutral location and let them meet without the barrier. This area needs to be open so they won't feel confined and will have plenty of room to sniff each other. Wait around two minutes while they sniff each other, letting them get used to each other. Watch them carefully for any aggressive behavior or fighting. After the initial sniffing, let them play for a few minutes, then take them back home. After this, let them together in your backyard, then in your house. For the first few weeks, don't leave them alone together in the house. Wait until you know they are familiar enough with each other until you do that. In order for your dog to be well adjusted, you need to get him acclimated to household noises and activity and other people. This will help him get used to them while he is still growing, which will help him not react badly to them as he grows.  You should do this in a non-threatening manner. Don't scare him with things, such as chasing him with a vacuum or hitting at him with a broom. Just go about your daily business so he gets used to it. Slowly introduce him to the other animals in the house as he grows so he gets used to them. Make sure any visitors you have over are introduced to your puppy so he learns to like new people. In order for your puppy to get used to being in the car, you should take him for a lot car rides. This will get him used to other vehicles on the road and the...

Have a bath or shower and gently wash the area with water. Use a soft cotton flannel to remove any discharge from the area. This makes it easier for the Clean and Dry cream to absorb into the skin. Avoid using any soap on the area, as this can cause inflammation and further infection. The Clean and Dry cream will be much easier to apply once your skin is dry. For best results, wait 10 minutes for your skin to dry naturally. If you are in a rush, use a soft cotton towel to gently dab away any excess water. Wash the towel after you have used it to avoid spreading bacteria. Squeeze the cream onto your finger and gently rub it over any areas of your vagina or vulva that are red, itchy, or inflamed. Rub the cream into the skin until it is no longer visible. If you have trouble seeing the area, use a mirror to help you. Clean and Dry cream is fast acting and you should begin to notice your symptoms clearing up within a few days. Apply the cream every morning and evening. Discontinue use after 5 days, as the cream is only designed for short-term use. Contact a doctor if your symptoms persist.

TL;DR in English: Clean the area thoroughly with water. Wait for your skin to air dry. Rub a pea-sized amount of cream over the area. Apply the cream twice a day for 5 days.

Read any relevant chapters before class so that you can understand the lecture better. You will also be aware of any concepts that you have difficulty understanding. You can ask the teacher before class or during class to clarify these concepts. As you are reading and studying before class, you should take notes. This way, you solidify the material in your mind. You should also scan or redraw any figures or diagrams that are important (e.g. they show up multiple times in the chapter). For every class, you should bring notes from previous classes. You should also bring your notes from independent studying, including pictures. This can give you an edge on taking notes in class, which will free up more time for you to absorb what the teacher is saying.

If you are breastfeeding, you should be sure to feed your baby as soon as possible. If you are not breastfeeding, you should be sure to feed your baby as soon as possible.

Learn about how to breastfeed from a healthcare professional Maintain a breastfeeding schedule. Allow your baby to nurse for as long as necessary to empty your breasts of milk. Begin each nursing session with the opposite breast. Make sure your baby is latching on correctly to your breast. Switch positions for each feeding session. Avoid giving bottles to your baby in-between feedings.

Many meals can be just as delicious without meat. You can try removing meat entirely from your favorite recipes or replacing them with a vegetable.   Grilled eggplant or portobello mushrooms make for a delicious entrée. You can take out the beef from chili. Add extra beans or use a vegetarian beef substitute. Tofu and tempeh are great substitutes for chicken. You can use them in stir fry, salad, or tacos. Eat a veggie burger instead of a beef burger. You can buy frozen veggie burgers or make your own. Many people worry that they won’t get enough protein on a plant-based diet, but there are many great sources of protein found in plants. Some good sources of protein include:  Green peas Peanut or almond butter Chickpeas Beans Seitan, tempeh, or tofu If you are not on a vegan diet, you can still consume eggs and dairy as a source of protein. If you don’t feel full or satisfied after a meal, you might start to snack or crave unhealthy foods. For each meal, make sure that you have at least 1 high-fiber ingredient to keep you full between meals. Some high fiber foods include:  Legumes, including lima beans, black beans, lentils, and kidney beans. Whole grains, such as seeded breads, oatmeal, or quinoa. Berries, such as blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries. Green leafy vegetables, like spinach, kale, and swiss chard. This is healthier than eating processed foods, such as chips, cookies, or crackers. There are many delicious plant based snacks, such as:  Apple slices Carrots and hummus Roasted nuts Edamame Toasted pumpkin seeds If you want to eliminate dairy from your diet as well, you do not have to give up your favorite milk-based meals. Try using almond, soy, coconut, rice, or hemp milk instead. There are also non-dairy substitutions for yogurt, ice cream, and coffee creamer.  Non-dairy milk may not work as well in baking. They can be used, however, in hot drinks, cereal, oatmeal, curries, mac and cheese, and smoothies. You can find non-dairy cheeses in your local groceries. These are usually made from nuts.

TL;DR in English: Substitute vegetables for meat in meals. Look for plant-based sources of protein. Choose high-fiber foods to keep you full. Eat fruit or raw veggies as a snack. Replace milk with non-dairy alternatives.

There are advantages to both options depending on how much you are prepared to care for it. Too much soil or fertilization can actually harm your plant. However, if you are using tap water and it has fluoride and other chemicals, you may want to use soil and fertilizer to prevent yellow tips.  If you are growing it in standing water, you will need some pebbles to hold it upright. If in soil, try mixing a third each of sand, peat moss, and regular soil to ensure excellent drainage. For water only, make sure that your plant has at least enough to cover the base of the roots. You should also change the water at least once per week to prevent the plant from rotting. It is a good idea to rinse the vase, pebbles, and plant each time you do this. If you are growing the plant in soil, water the plant just enough so that the soil is moist. Your pot should be about 2 inches (5 cm) larger in diameter than the plant. Most Lucky Bamboo plants already come in a pot, but you can use your own pot to make the plant more your own.  A clear container works well for water and will show off your plant and pebbles, but make sure that you keep it out of direct sunlight. You can also use a ceramic pot and grow it in either pure water or in soil. If you use soil, plant the bamboo in a pot with a drain hole. Too much fertilizer is worse than none at all, so use it sparingly. This is especially true of potted plants because the fertilizer will not become diluted by rain and can’t run off like it will for plants in the ground.

TL;DR in English: Decide between water or soil. Choose the right container. Add a very light fertilizer periodically for quicker growth.

. Mastitis can develop at any point during the nursing process, but many women who experience it in the first four weeks of nursing, when their breasts are still very engorged. It occurs more often in first-time mothers who are new to breastfeeding. Speak to your physician or midwife about how to breastfeed properly so you can prevent mastitis.  At the beginning of your pregnancy, your doctor or midwife will likely provide you with handouts and information booklets preparing you for pregnancy, delivery, breastfeeding, and the first few weeks with your new baby. If she doesn't offer these materials to you, ask for them. After the baby is born, don't hesitate to talk to a medical professional if you need help learning to breastfeed. It's important that you start your time as a mother by learning how to breastfeed properly to ensure your baby gets the nutrients she needs and to prevent mastitis. Having consistent feeding times will prevent your breasts from becoming too full of milk. A full breast can lead to engorgement, which can lead to an episode of mastitis. You should breastfeed every one to three hours, or whenever your baby is hungry.  If you know you're going to have to miss a feeding, pump your milk to empty your breasts at the scheduled time for the feeding. If your breasts feel full before the regularly scheduled feeding time, it's important to empty them. If milk sits in your breasts, it will thicken, impeding flow and possibly lead to mastitis.  You don't have to wait for your baby to tell you it is feeding time. Your baby will more likely than not nurse a little when offered the breast. Don't be afraid to wake your baby if you have to. It is better to interrupt baby's sleep and drain the breast than to put yourself at risk of developing mastitis. All babies have different nursing needs and all mothers have different milk supplies. Some babies will drain a breast entirely in 10 minutes while others can suckle for up to 30 minutes on each breast. Get to know your baby's nursing needs and allow him...

Place a pillow behind your back. Place a nursing pillow designed for twins firmly around your waist and set a pillow underneath it for extra support. You can also set single nursing pillows on both of your sides so you can set the babies there once you've finished breastfeeding them.  You may want to have someone help you

Set up pillow supports. Arrange the babies next to you on the nursing pillow. Latch one baby on at a time. Check your babies' positions. Let the babies finish nursing.

Raise your arms straight above your head. Fully extend your dominant leg straight out in front of you, keeping the other leg straight beneath you.. Stand tall and engage your core muscles. If you are starting with a spotter, they should put one hand on your back, and one hand under the thigh of your kicking leg. Point your palms upwards and push your hips forward. Push your arms and head backwards, making sure that you move them together. Bend your back slowly and carefully, keeping your dominant leg in position.  Keep your abdominal muscles tight so that you can keep control of your core as you bend backwards. Make sure to balance your weight firmly on the one leg that is on the ground. Do not bend you knees or elbows just yet. Bend your hands so that your fingertips point towards the ground. Make contact with the mat underneath you and plant your hands onto the ground. Allow your weight to shift onto your hands.

Sit on your couch, bed, or floor and place a pillow behind your back for support. Put a nursing pillow designed for twins firmly around your waist and set a pillow underneath it for extra support. You can also set single nursing pillows on both of your sides so you can set the babies there once you've finished breastfeeding them.  You may want to have someone help you get used to setting up the pillow supports and handing you the babies (especially if they're newborns). Some double nursing pillows actually strap around your waist. You can place the babies in the double football or clutch hold so that one baby is on each of your sides. You should be able to tuck the babies under your arms (like a football). The babies' tummies should be touching your tummy and they shouldn't be on their backs. Their feet should be pointed towards your back and you can support the shoulders, neck, and head with your arm. This hold works well for preterm or smaller babies. It's also a good choice if you had a C-section since it keeps pressure off of your stomach. Start by latching whichever baby has an easier time of latching on. Once that baby is securely on your breast, help the other baby latch on to the other breast. This will give you a chance to help the baby that might be struggling more to latch on. If you have preterm or very young babies, you may want to place a small rolled up cloth right behind their heads. This will give them a little extra support. If you have a pillow underneath your nursing pillow, your babies should be raised up a little towards your breasts. For simultaneous breastfeeding, their legs should be wrapped around your sides and almost tucked around your back. The babies should be on their sides rather than their backs while they're breastfeeding. Your main goal is that they remain latched on and don't roll back or off of the nursing pillow. You don't need to stop and switch breasts as long as both babies are nursing well. You may need to help a baby latch on if it slips off, but give it a chance to...

Take off the rubber band and lid cover, then stick a straw down into the liquid without disturbing the gelatinous “mother” floating on the surface. Press your thumb against the open end of the straw to trap some vinegar inside the straw. Remove the straw from the jar, place the straw into a small glass, and let go with your thumb to discharge the vinegar into the glass. You can use a disposable plastic straw or a reusable straw for this task. Take a small sip of the vinegar. If it is either too weak (because the fermentation process hasn’t proceeded enough) or too sharp and intense (because vinegar mellows over time), re-cover it and give it another 2 weeks to ferment. Keep tasting the vinegar every 1-2 weeks until it meets your approval. Carefully remove the gelatinous blob floating on the surface of your finished vinegar, and transfer it to a new jar of starter liquid (for instance, equal parts of wine and water). This way, you can continuously churn out new batches of homemade vinegar! Alternatively, you can slowly pour out nearly all of the vinegar in your jar, leaving just a small amount in the bottom with the “mother” still floating in it. Then, refill the jar with more alcohol and start a new batch in this original jar. After removing the "mother" from the fermenting jar (or leaving it behind in the jar), pour the vinegar into a medium saucepan. Place it on the stove over medium-low heat and use a probe thermometer to check the temperature. When the temperature is over 140 °F (60 °C) but less than 160 °F (71 °C), remove the pot from the heat and let the vinegar cool to room temperature.  This process of pasteurizing the vinegar will enable it to be stored indefinitely at room temperature and low light in a glass container.  You can skip pasteurizing the vinegar if you wish, and it will still probably store for months or even possibly years without any noticeable decline in quality or flavor. But this quick step is worth the effort to ensure the long-term quality of your homemade vinegar. Place an...

TL;DR in English: Siphon out some vinegar with a straw after 2 months. Taste the siphoned vinegar, and give the batch more time as needed. Spoon out the “mother” if you want to reuse it in a new vinegar batch. Pasteurize the vinegar so it will keep indefinitely. Bottle the finished vinegar through a filter and funnel. Don't use homemade vinegar for canning, preserving, or room temperature storage.

Assure your parents that any risks associated with lip piercing are significantly reduced by choosing a piercer certified by the Association of Professional Piercers. This organization screens and approves piercing businesses according to their compliance with general standards, including licensing and the use of proper sterilization facilities. Try asking your parents to do a search with you for an APP-certified piercer in your area, using the organization’s member search page. If they seem to be unsure about letting you get the piercing, ask your parents to go with you to an initial consultation with a piercer at an APP-certified business. The piercer should explain the procedure, possible complications, care for the piercing, and a timeline for healing. Having a clearer understanding of these aspects will help your parents decide, and most likely reduce their fears about the risks. While at the piercing shop, ask an employee about recent spore test results. Every reputable piercing business should have these. They show proof of the proper working order of the autoclave, which sterilizes the piercing equipment and jewelry. Make a point to ask about these test results yourself. This will demonstrate to your parents that you're taking the whole process seriously, and are genuinely concerned about health and safety issues related to the piercing. Try not to give your parents the impression that they need to decide right away. If they feel that they’re being pressured to give you an answer, there’s a greater chance that they’ll just say “no.” Remember that this is probably a major decision for them, so give them time to think it over and discuss it with others. This also shows them that you’re mature enough to be able to wait some time for an answer. For example, you can introduce the idea by saying something like, “Mom, I’d like to ask you something pretty serious. I know this might be a hard decision for you, so please don’t feel like you need to decide right away. You’ll probably want to take some time to...

If the instructions for your eraser clay say to let them set using an oven, preheat it to the instructed time. Arrange your eraser designs on a baking sheet so they aren’t touching one another.   For most eraser clay, preheat the oven to 250° F (130° C). Bake erasers for 20 minutes per ¼ inch (6 mm) thickness.  You may want to bake smaller eraser designs separate from larger ones, as they will likely have different cooking times. Use a piece of aluminum foil or wax paper on the baking sheet to keep the erasers from sticking. Make sure children have adult supervision during this step. If the instructions for your eraser clay say to let them set using boiling water, pour water into a pot and place it on the stove. Set the water to boil, then place your eraser designs into the boiling water for a few minutes.   Make sure you have enough water in the pot to completely cover your eraser clay designs. For most eraser clay that uses this method, leave the erasers in the boiling water for 5 minutes, then turn off the burner and allow them to sit in the water as it cools.  Remove the erasers from the water safely using a slotted spoon and set them to dry on a paper towel or napkin. Use caution and have an adult present for this entire step. After setting in the oven or on the stove, let your erasers cool for a couple of hours. Then enjoy using your personalized erasers to remove any pencil marks.  Test your erasers out when they’ve cooled down. If they are too soft, you may need to set them for longer. If they are too hard, you may need to try again and set them for less time. If they are too brittle, you may want to try again with thicker shapes. Store your erasers in a container that seals tightly to make your erasers last as long as possible. They may become too dry and brittle for proper use if exposed to the air over a long period of time.

TL;DR in English: Set the erasers in the oven. Set in boiling water. Allow erasers to cool before use.

One type of 3D glasses commonly used in theaters uses polarized filters for lenses, and special projectors that polarize light. Think of the polarizing filter as a barred window: light oriented (polarized) vertically passes between the bars and reaches your eye, while light oriented horizontally can't get through the bars and gets reflected away. With the "bars" over each eye pointing in different directions, each eye picks up a different image, and your brain interprets the two images as a single 3D image. Unlike the red-blue glasses, this image can contain any number of colors. Making these glasses at home is probably more expensive than buying a pair, especially since any theater experience or TV that relies this technology probably comes with a pair of glasses. But if you're interested in the project, purchase a sheet of "linearly polarized" or "plane polarized" plastic film. Rotate the film 45º from the vertical, then cut out a lens. Rotate the film another 90º in either direction, and cut out the second lens. This is the most common design, but you may need to rotate the lens while looking at the 3D image to see what works. Just make sure to rotate both lenses at the same time, since they should always be made from film oriented exactly 90º apart. The actual explanation of polarized light is more technical than described above. Modern 3D glasses usually use circular polarized light, which doesn't require the viewer to keep his head still while watching. To make these lenses at home, you would need one sheet of counterclockwise circular polarized plastic, and one sheet of clockwise polarized plastic (also called left- and right-handed). This is more expensive than linear filters. Sometimes called "Active 3D," this technology requires advanced design that can't be copied at home. In order to send a different image to each eye (which is the cornerstone of all 3D technology), the television monitor switches rapidly between two different images, many times per second. The special glasses you wear while...

TL;DR in English: Learn about polarized glasses. Make your own polarized glasses. Understand synchronized glasses.

It easy to think that a pet is underweight, whereas the reality could be that he is just less heavy than an obese dog of the same breed that you happen to know. Maybe your dog is actually fine, but it's the other dog that is too fat! For dogs that are thin but full of energy and producing formed feces, the first step is to check they are getting enough calories per meal. A dog may lose weight because it uses up more calories than it is eating. This may be straightforward -- as when the dog isn't being fed enough food. If this is the case, then increasing his portion size should do the trick.  The simplest way to do this is compare your dog's ideal weight with the suggested feeding amount on the food packaging. If your dog is a specific breed, there is lots of information online about what is that breed's ideal weight. Go with the weight you want the dog to be, rather than the weight it is at the moment. For example, if you own a male Labrador then an average sized dog should weigh up to 40kg. Measure out a typical portion of your dog's daily food allowance by weight. Make a note of the weight of the food and compare it to the recommended amount from the food packaging.  It's interesting to note that some of these recommendations are actually 25% above what the dog needs (they tend to be on the generous side, rather than the skimpy side). If you are giving your Labrador 400g of kibble a day, and the packaging advises 500g a day, then your dog is being fed 20% less calories than the recommended and so it will lose weight. This is easily rectified by increasing the amount of his daily allowance. This can be a difficult decision because each food contains different amounts of calories and the size of dogs vary so much. As a rule of thumb, increase the food by no more than 10% of the original quantity.  So if you were feeding 400g a day, an extra 10% adds another 40g, which you would split into 2 meals of 20g each additional. Feed this for 2 -3 days and check the dog doesn't have diarrhea, at which point you can...

For maximum use, place the posts where the cat is going to get "value" from using it as a territory marker. Good places for a scratching posts include near entrances or exits, near a window, or in front of an object she already favors as a scratching post.  Do NOT place the post in an inconspicuous, out of the way place. Your cat will ignore it. Make sure that the post is positioned in a way that your cat likes to scratch. For example, if your cat prefers to scratch vertical surfaces, like the side of the sofa, make sure that the post is in a vertical position. Cats often like to scratch after waking up, so place a scratching post near your cat’s favorite napping spot as well. If your cat likes to scratch furniture, consider wrapping the part she likes to scratch in tin foil or double sided sticky tape. Cats hate the feel of tin foil and sticky surfaces so it should discourage your cat from scratching. You can also cover the sofa with rugs, but this can be an imperfect solution because your cat may just start scratching the rugs. If you catch your cat in the act of scratching something she should not be scratching, clap your hands loudly to interrupt the behavior. Do not yell at your cat or punish her physically. Just pick up your cat and take her to the scratching post. Doing this will give her the idea that you want her to scratch there. You can make scratching posts more attractive to your cat using her own scent or some catnip. Try showing your cat how to use a post by rubbing her paws on it or rub some catnip into the scratching post to draw her attention to it.   Encourage your cat to use the post by making gentle scratching motions with her paws on the post. Doing so will help to add her scent to the post make her more likely to use it. Make sure that you praise your cat while you do this. Try spritzing the scratching post with Feliway. Feliway is a synthetic feline pheromone that makes cats feel safe and secure. It also amplifies her scent signals, which she will appreciate.

TL;DR in English: Place the posts somewhere that your cat can access them with ease. Make your cat’s favorite piece of furniture unappealing. Clap your hands to discourage your cat from scratching. Make scratching posts more attractive to your cat.

Get out a rimmed baking sheet and tear off a piece of parchment paper. Lay it on the baking sheet and set it aside. Although you don't have to use the parchment paper, it will prevent the meatballs from sticking to the sheet and it will make clean up easier. Leave the turkey meatballs to cook until they reach an internal temperature of 165 °F (74 °C) with a meat thermometer. The meatballs should become a rich brown color. Remove the sheet of meatballs from the oven and spoon them into warm pasta sauce. Then serve the turkey meatballs with cooked pasta, steamed rice, or crusty bread. Store the leftover meatballs in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.

Write in plain, succinct language that any audience can understand. In order to sell your screenplay, your reader must first understand what your plot is about. If you use jargon or flowery language, your reader probably won’t bother going past the first few paragraphs. If you pad your synopsis with unnecessary adjectives or adverbs, it’s no longer a synopsis. Stay brief, and you’ll be one step closer to your goal. Ask them to look for errors in spelling, grammar, and any information that isn’t clear to them. This could be a friend, family member, or colleague. If they have any questions or if something isn't clear to them, change your synopsis to make the story clearer. If your reader finds something in your synopsis that’s unclear or confusing, they won’t request your full screenplay. Many organizations you may submit your synopsis to publish submission guidelines. Change your synopsis, if necessary, to fit those guidelines. The agent, movie studio, or other reader will likely request changes to fit established word counts or page counts. Follow those suggestions exactly if you want your synopsis to pass the next round.

. This part may be hard but just take a deep breath and try to gather your thoughts! Remember where you left all those textbooks and gather together some spare pieces of paper and pens. Highlighters and flashcards are also a good idea. If you still have your syllabus, great. Use it as an outline. The topics that pop up more than once are likely to be on the test. Concentrate on the bigger picture -- highlight the important facts that you think could be on the test. Also remember to look closely at the vocabulary! It will obviously help your understanding if you know what a word means. Read the chapter summaries (they usually do a good job at summarizing the important points). If there are no chapter summaries, then skim through the text and write down key ideas. This is the most important part of cramming. You have a very limited amount of time -- you must use it as efficiently as possible. Get down to the nitty-gritty and only study what you think is worthy of being on the test.  Focus on the main ideas and learn key formulas. Skip the details for now and only come back to them if you see that you have time after you have learned the key points. Don't attempt to learn everything; focus on things that will get you the most points on the exam. If your professor said the essay will be 75% of your grade, you're best off preparing for that and skipping the multiple choice. This will help your brain process the material better. If you just skim your textbooks or notes you probably won't remember anything! If you're lucky enough to have an insomniac for a roommate, grab them. Ask them to listen to you spout off about certain concepts. Relaying information to another individual is a surefire way to guarantee you understand the ins and outs of the ideas. .

In order to locate the break or leak in the sprinkler system, you need to run water through it. Turn on the sprinkler system to activate the flow of water. Allow the water to run for about 2 minutes before you check the lines. After you turn on the sprinkler system, walk through the area where the sprinkler system is installed. Listen for running water and walk towards where you hear the sound to locate the leak in your sprinkler line. You may not be able to find the leak just by listening, but it can help you narrow down your search. If you see water spraying out of the line instead of the sprinkler head, then there’s a crack or leak in the line. Once you’ve identified where the leak is, mark the location so you can find it when the water is turned off. If the sprinkler line is exposed enough for you to see water spraying out of a break or crack, check the line for a visible crack, and use a marker to mark the location of the leak. If you see a pool of water or water coming from the soil, then there’s a leak in the sprinkler line buried underneath. Mark the general location of the leak or break so you can identify it when the water is turned off. Place an item like a shovel or a rock on the ground near the leak. If you’re having trouble finding water leaking out into the ground, check the sprinkler heads. If you notice a row of them aren’t spraying water or are spraying much less water than other sprinkler heads, then the line is broken and the water isn’t reaching them. The break or leak in the water line will be located between the last working sprinkler head and the first nonworking one. If you’ve found the signs of a leak and located the region where the line is leaking or broken, turn off the water so you can repair the line. Use the shut off valve in the control box to stop the flow of water through the system.  Wait 1-2 minutes to allow the water to finish flowing through the system. Be sure to shut the valve completely so there isn’t water flowing through the line when you make your repairs.

TL;DR in English: Turn on the sprinkler system. Listen for the sound of running water. See if there’s water spouting out of a section of the line. Check for water bubbling up from the soil. Look for a series of sprinkler heads that aren’t working properly. Turn off the sprinkler system after you’ve found the leak.

A common misconception about having an infected ingrown toenail is that it needs to be cut. Contrary to popular belief, cutting the nail can make the infection worse. It can also cause more ingrown toenails in the future. Leave the nail uncut, and prop it up to relieve pressure. The toenail may need to be cut by a doctor, but should not be done at home in ‘bathroom surgery’. It may be tempting to try to relieve pressure or lift the nail from the skin by digging at the skin underneath. Do not do this because it can intensify an infection and make the ingrown nail worse. Stay away from your toenails with tweezers, orange sticks, clippers, files, or any other metal tools. There is a popular conception that you should use a needle to puncture a blister or a pustule caused by an infection. You should not do this because it will just make it worse. Even if you use clean tools and a sanitized needle, you can cause some serious damage by poking and prodding at a blister or infected wound. Avoid touching it with anything other than a cotton swab or bandaging materials. According to some old folk healing methods, you should cut a ‘V’ shape in the top of the infected toenail to relieve the pressure, which in turn will heal the nail. However, doing this does absolutely nothing except create a jagged edge on your nail. Do not believe urban health myths such as rubbing coal on your toe to make an infection go away. Although some people swear by this method, the coal won’t benefit the infection or the ingrown nail at all. In fact, this method may make it worse. In general, you should not put anything on your toe or the infected area except for antibiotic cream or bandages.

While this heats up, mince the garlic and chop up onions and mushrooms, if desired. The garlic should be slightly golden. Add the mushrooms and onions as well, along with an extra 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Stir everything well with a whisk or wooden spoon. Raise the heat and quickly bring the sauce to a boil so that many bubbles are reaching the surface and popping. Do not let the sauce keep boiling -- you only need it to reach this temperature quickly. Stir the flour in quickly after lowering the heat. The sauce should be simmering, with a few bubbles breaking on the surface. You can simmer the sauce for as long as you want before serving. The longer you leave it on, the thicker and richer it will be. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add hot broth to thin it out without sacrificing flavor. White wine sauce pairs well with chicken and shellfish in particular.

Hygiene plays a key role in maintaining skin integrity. Soap, although important in hygiene, can cause irritation and may not help in removing any of the dead skin caused by dryness. Instead, rinse your feet thoroughly with warm water every time you bathe in order to promote moisture. Warm water (40 to 34°C) promotes circulation and both comforts and refreshes your feet. Always wash the bottoms of your feet well and between your toes. You should use a washcloth to get between your toes or use a long handled sponge on your feet if you prefer not to have to bend down in the shower. Make sure you dry well between your toes with a towel as this will prevent the develop of infection, and reduce any odors or bacteria on your feet. Tight, uncomfortable shoes can cause painful foot growths and distort your toe shape. They can also irritate your feet and lead to blisters and cracked skin. Try to wear comfortable shoes that fit well on a daily basis, especially if you are always on your feet throughout the day.  If you wear high heels, look for heels that are wide, stable, and no higher than two inches. Make sure there is enough room in your heels for your toes, as your shoes should not narrow until well past the balls of your feet. You should also alternate your heels heights regularly to prevent your Achilles tendon from shortening. Avoid wearing flip flops and completely flat shoes, as they do not provide arch support. You should also avoid walking around barefoot to avoid developing flat feet. Minimize the amount of time you wear shoes with no arch support to keep your feet healthy and strong. Try to alternate your shoes so you do not wear the same pair every day, even if you have two pairs of the same style. This will prevent shoe odor, and foot infections. You should also change your socks every day so you wear a fresh pair. This will prevent foot irritation and infections, which could trigger dry and cracked skin. Promoting hydration is one of the best ways to keep any part of your skin healthy, including the...

TL;DR in English: Wash your feet every day. Dry your feet well after a shower or bath. Wear comfortable shoes that don’t restrict or rub your feet. Alternate your shoes and change your socks every day. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Be cautious when getting a professional pedicure in a nail salon.

Your firewall is an option which helps protect your passwords and computer security.  You can think of it the same way you think of a lock on your door.  If your firewall is down, you open yourself up to hackers who can take or delete information, steal your passwords, and wreak all manner of other havoc.  Do not, therefore, switch the firewall off. Grant access to the firewall only for authorized programs which require it like games or video streaming services. A virtual private network (VPN) essentially acts as a middleman between the web and your computer, and provides an extra layer of encryption to your interactions online.  The VPN server might be located in a different city or even a different country than the one you reside in, and means that tracing your data back to you is almost impossible. For a double-whammy of internet privacy, combine the VPN with your browser’s incognito or privacy mode.  Privacy mode prevents data, cookies, your download record, and other info from being saved on your computer. Wifi hotspots are attractive when you’re out and about but need to hop online for a quick search for directions or other info, but do so with caution.  Spend a minimum amount of time logged on to public wifi.  Be sure what the name of the public wifi hotspot is.  Logging into the wrong one, or one with a similar name meant to deliberately deceive public wifi users, could mean your online communication -- including passwords, emails, and bank info -- is being lifted by a hacker. Keep your home wifi connection encrypted.  Open wifi makes it easy for hackers to access your computer and download illegal files. Purchase a new router every few years.  Some routers have vulnerabilities which never get corrected. Whether it’s your social media, online banking, or email account, you’ll feel frustrated and powerless if you suffer a security breach.  Use long passwords (greater than eight characters) with a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and (if possible) other characters like underscores and...

Wash the hulled nuts in a bucket of water. Dry the nuts in a mesh bag for 5 weeks. Crack the shells with a heavy-duty cracker. Discard any damaged or rotten nuts. Store the nutmeat in your fridge or freezer.

Make sure you completely understand what you are trying to find.  Wordy math problems can sometimes be confusing, so re-read carefully to make sure you were solving the right problem. Also double-check that you understood what the information in the problem meant. For example: “Fred picks 8 apples on Sunday, and 6 apples on Monday. George picks 2 more apples than Fred each day. Charlie picks 5 less apples than George on Sunday, and 1 more apple on Friday. How many apples does George pick?” Here, make sure to solve for the amount of apples George picks, not the amount Charlie picks or the amount all of them pick together. Also, make sure you understand all of the details of the problem. For example, each day, George picks 2 more than Fred’s daily total. He doesn’t pick 2 more than Fred’s 2-day total. Word problems are full of keywords that help you translate the words into math. Highlight these keywords in the problem. Also highlight the numbers. Then, go back to your calculations and double check that the operations and numbers in your calculations match what is presented in the problem.  Some common keywords include “combined” (addition), “decreased” (subtraction), “of” (multiplication), and “per” (division).  For example: “Carlos has 15 books per book shelf. He has 120 books. How many shelves does he have?” The key word “per” should tell you this is a division problem. If you go back to your work and see that you calculated 15×120{\displaystyle 15\times 120}, you know that you did the wrong calculation. Think about the information in the problem and the solution you are trying to find. Decide whether your answer should be bigger than the numbers represented in the problem, or smaller. Think about whether your answer should be a whole number. If your solution has a remainder or a decimal, make sure that it makes sense in the context of the story problem. For example: “Mr. Ripley needs to book buses for the fourth grade field trip. Each bus holds 52 people. He has 30 students. The two other fourth grade...

TL;DR in English: Re-read the problem. Check keywords and numbers against your calculations. Check for reasonableness.

You’ll need a good credit score to qualify for a conventional mortgage—usually around 620. To get the best interest rates, you’ll need a score around 740 or better.  Check your credit score and get copies of your credit report. Go through your credit report to see if there are any errors. For example, someone else’s debts might be listed on your report because they have a similar name or Social Security number. Dispute any wrong information. The best way to improve your credit is to pay down debt. Consider whether you need to delay buying your townhouse until you improve your credit score. You’ll be in a stronger bargaining position if a lender pre-approves you for a mortgage. The process is easy. Gather financial documents, such as your paystubs, bank statements, and tax returns. You can complete an application either online or by visiting the lender.  Work only with lenders who have experience underwriting loans for townhouses. Some lenders don’t know how to classify townhouses and consider them condos. However, the difference between a townhouse and a condo is that a condo has no land attached to it, whereas a townhouse includes the land under and around it as specific in the lot map. A townhouse includes the land in its value, but a condo has no land as part of its value. If you’re approved, you’ll receive an approval letter which is good for only 90 days. Plan your house hunting accordingly. In a hot market, sellers can usually get their asking price (or more) because there are multiple bidders on the same house. However, in a cold market, buyers have more power. Look at how long the townhouse has been on the market. Also check how much comparable homes have sold for. If you have a real estate agent, they can do a Comparative Market Analysis. However, you can also check websites such as Zillow and Trulia yourself to see what similar townhouses have fetched. Bid appropriately, based on the market. If it’s cold, then come in a little under the asking price, e.g., 5% below. If you think the home is wildly...

TL;DR in English: Improve your credit, if necessary. Get pre-approved for a mortgage. Analyze the market. Set an opening bid. Draft a purchase offer. Write a letter of interest. Submit your offer.

After you remove the hulls, place the nuts, still in their shells, in a bucket of water. This will help rinse away juices, residue, and loose fibers from the hull. Discard any nuts that float to the surface. The good nuts should sink in water. Once you’ve rinsed the nuts, place them in a loosely woven bag, such as an onion bag, to allow airflow. Hang them up in a well-ventilated outdoor area, out of direct sunlight and sheltered from rain. The nuts should be dry in about 5 weeks.  Alternatively, you can spread the nuts out in a thin layer on the ground to dry. However, you’ll need to keep them someplace where they’ll be protected from animals and the elements, such as a screened-in porch. You can tell when the nuts are dry enough by shaking the shells. You should hear the nutmeat rattling inside. Black walnut shells are very difficult to crack. Once the nuts are dry, you can open them using a heavy-duty pressure cracker, which is a type of nutcracker that works similarly to a vise. You may also be able to crack the nuts with a hammer, a heavy board, or a vise grip. After you crack the nut, pick out the meat with a nutpick.  You probably won’t be able to crack black walnuts with a regular hand-held nutcracker. To crack multiple nuts at once, place up to 100 of them in a burlap bag and hit the bag with a mallet several times to crack the shells. You’ll need to separate the nut fragments from the cracked shells by hand. If you don’t want to crack the nuts right away, put them in a bag and store them at 32–40 °F (0–4 °C). As you crack the nuts, examine the shells and nutmeat carefully. Throw away any nuts with shells that are already cracked or damaged, since they may be infected with mold or microorganisms. Discard any nutmeat that is black, bright yellow, or streaked with blue, since these are signs of infection. Healthy black walnut kernels should range from light to dark brown on the outside, and off-white or cream colored on the inside. After you get the nuts out of the shells, let the meat dry for 1-2 days,...

At the top of a sheet of paper or Microsoft Word document, write down what you want to achieve during the brainstorming session. This will help focus your ideas. You may even want to list a few different objectives. Your goals may be very vague such as “find a new career” or “write a short story.” They may also be very specific, such as “increase profits by 10%” or “start a flower garden in my backyard.” Think of your central idea or problem. Write down a few words that you immediately associate with those ideas. Look over these new words and write down any words that you think are related. As the words pop into your head, write them down, no matter how silly or strange they might seem.  For example, if you are writing a paper for English class, you can write down the names of the novels you read in class. When you think of Jane Eyre, you may write down mystery, romance, madwoman, or governess. The word governess might make you think of strong female character, working women, or education. Continue writing down associated words until you have a strong concept in mind. If you don't have a central idea yet, you can just write down a random word. Put down whatever comes into your head first. This is effective for creative activities. Sit down for fifteen minutes, and write down whatever comes across your mind. Do not let your pen leave the page until the fifteen minutes are up. This will help you start processing ideas. While you might begin with no good thoughts, you may find you have stumbled upon some new ideas by the time your fifteen minutes are up.  A good way to start is to state your goal, and write "I want..." statements after it. For example, "I want to give a talk on effective brainstorming. I want this talk to be twenty minutes. I want to discuss in this talk how to freewrite." As ideas come to you, you may start writing naturally. Even if you are thinking “I have nothing to write about,” jot it down. The goal is to start writing. Through the process of writing, you will think of new ideas. Create a...

TL;DR in English: Write down your goals and problems. Do word association. Freewrite. Draft a list. Doodle pictures.

Get a good night's sleep. If you are a fan of the old-fashioned TV, you may want to consider a new one.

Exercise regularly. Get enough rest. Watch your diet.

Choose a slightly soft lemon that will yield plenty of juice. Make a cut across the short side of the lemon. Once your lemon is cut in half, remove all the visible seeds from its surface by scraping them out with a knife. You’ll probably need at least 2-4 teaspoons (11.4-22.8 g) of table salt to completely cover the lemon. The salt will act as a natural sponge when you apply it to your brass. Rub down the entirety of your brass item with the lemon and salt, squeezing out lemon juice as you go. Check on the salt layer, and replace it when necessary. Use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe away the lemon juice and salt mixture. Be sure to thoroughly clean the brass, as any leftover lemon residue will become sticky and hard if it dries. Use a soft, dry cloth to buff your brass by gently wiping the surface in small circular motions. Your brass should now be shiny and gold in appearance. It’s a great idea to protect your brass with a layer of oil. Pour 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of olive oil onto a soft, dry cloth and rub the oil onto the brass. Move in small circles to coat the entire piece. If you prefer, there are also a variety of commercial wax options for your brass. The application process will also require a soft cloth, and you can buff the surface using the same small circular motions you would use with the oil. Some of these substances may require you to wear protective gloves.

TL;DR in English: Cut a lemon in half and remove the lemon seeds. Coat the surface of the cut lemon with table salt. Scour the brass with the lemon and salt. Sponge off the mixture. Buff your brass with a soft cloth. Wax your brass with olive oil.

TV's are sold more and more like cars, with gifted salespeople or advertisements attempting to up-sell you with fancy features and a load of techno-jumbled words. The best way to prevent spending more than you want is to come up with your maximum price before you enter the store or head online. When possible, be upfront about it -- tell the salesperson you will absolutely pay no more than this number, preventing them from showing you certain items. Basic pricing estimates, as of 2016, are:   32-inch: $150 to $500  39- to 43-inch: $250 to $1,100  46-to-52-inch: $380 to $1,600  55- to 59-inch: $450 to $2,500  65-inch: $700 to $5,000 TVs are expensive investments, and should last you many years when bought correctly. Waiting a month or two for enormous Christmas and Black Friday sales can be worth it, helping you get potentially better TV for your budget than you expected.  November is overwhelmingly the best time to get a cheap TV. Prices are always lowest on and before Black Friday, and you can usually buy them online.  March, after the companies have debuted their new sets at the beginning of the year, is the next best chance at a cheap TV before the new models hit store. The slimmer TVs get, the worse they sound. Speakers need physical room to work, so ultra-thin sets often sound tinny. A basic sound bar is often your best bet if you don't already have a stereo system, and they are generally under $100. Still, remember to consider the sound when buying a TV -- it is worth accounting for when pricing. There are some features that will matter -- if you want a Smart TV, built in DVR, etc. -- but at the end of the day the picture size is the most important consideration. If you want a TV that will last and satisfyingly display everything from sports to video games, then bigger is better. Do not, however, just buy a big TV without accounting for the room size. Remember -- you want to sit roughly 1.5 to 2 times the size of the TV away for comfort, so a 60" TV should have at least 90" to 120" of space in front of...

TL;DR in English: Set your budget before you go shopping. Shop during November or March for the best prices on new TVs. Remember to save money for the sound system, which most TVs ignore. Spend your money on size, not fancy buzzwords and features. Never buy a TV purely based on its performance in a showroom. Read reviews before making any purchases.

Physical activity can help increase positive mood (by releasing endorphins) and prevent mood diagnoses such as anxiety and depressive disorders. Focus on exercising at least every other day for at least 30 minutes. Or, when you feel a mood swing coming on get out and do something physical.   Traditional exercises such as walking, running, and lifting weights are useful in creating a physical activity schedule. You can even do exercises at home. Try sweeping, vacuuming or other types of cleaning. Or, put on a YouTube exercise video for free! Exercise doesn’t have to be boring. Try fun physical activities like: hiking, canoeing, fishing, kayaking, gardening, jumping rope, dancing, bowling, shooting pool, kickboxing, doing yoga, and playing sports. Sleep duration and quality have effects on your mood and overall health. Get less sleep and you might become more anxious or agitated, which can be a trigger to a mood swing.   Sleep at least 8 hours per night. Set a bedtime and wake-time and stick to them even on weekends. Stop watching television and using your phone at least 30 minutes before bedtime. What goes in your body dictates how you will feel physically. Having a healthy diet can produce stability in both body and mind. Make sure you get enough vitamins and minerals in your diet.  Ditch the junk food. It doesn’t help to cope by overeating or eating unhealthy foods. Don't constantly miss meals. Eat at least 3 solid meals per day. Plan ahead so that you aren’t in a situation where you are left without any food during lunchtime. Have snacks with you so that you avoid feeling cranky due to hunger. When you start to experience a drop in energy or start to feel moody, eat a snack. Some good options are: yogurt, fruits, nuts (as long as you aren’t allergic), cheese, protein bars, granola bars, and vegetables. Avoid coffee and soda if you can. Soda and coffee will raise your blood sugar levels rapidly however shortly after these levels drop very low thus effecting your mood swings again. If you drink 4 cups of...

Find a container that is 12 (h) x 12 (w) x 20 (l) inches in size. Avoid containers with patterns on the sides or bottom, as it will make removing the gel more difficult. Measure the inside wall 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the bottom of the container and mark it with a permanent marker. This will be the line that you fill the water to. Coat the entire inside with spray to help release the gel when it is finished. Wipe any excess spray out to avoid cloudiness in the finished gel.

Newborns need to get lots of rest to continue growing healthy and strong -- some can rest up to 16 hours a day. Though once your baby is three months or so old, he may be able to sleep for 6-8 hours at a time, in the beginning, your baby may only sleep for 2-3 hours at a time and should be woken up if he or she hasn't been fed for 4 hours.  Some babies have their days and nights confused when they are born. If your baby is more alert at night, try to limit nighttime stimulation by keeping the lights dim and your talking low, and be patient until your baby begins a normal sleeping cycle. Make sure you place your baby on his back to lower the risk of SIDS. You should alternate the position of your baby's head -- whether it's leaning to the left or the right -- to eliminate the "soft spot" that can appear on a baby's face if he spends too much time sleeping with his head in one position. If you want to breastfeed your baby, then feeding your baby the first time you hold her after she is delivered is a great place to start. You should turn your baby's body toward you, so you are holding her chest toward yours. Touch her upper lip with your nipple and pull her to your breast when she opens her mouth wide. Once she does this, her mouth should cover your nipple and as much of the areola as possible. Here are some things you should know about breastfeeding your baby:  If the baby is getting enough food, it will produce 6-8 wet diapers a day, along with steady bowel movements, be alert when it's awake, and will steadily gain weight. Don't stress if your baby has a hard time feeding at first; it takes patience and practice. You can get help from a nurse or even a lactation consultant (who can be helpful before birth). Know that nursing shouldn't hurt. If the latch-on hurts, break the suction by placing your pinkie finger between your baby's gums and your breast and repeat the process. You should nurse about 8-12 times during the first 24 hours of baby's birth. You don't have to stick to a strict schedule, but should...

When you see a tic develop in your child, don't assume the worst — that it will become a severe case of TS lasting the rest of their life. Instead, be patient and supportive, while trying to create a less stressful environment for your child, either at home or at school. In the vast majority of cases, childhood tics vanish almost as quickly as they come on, within a few months. If your child has a tic for more than a year, then a diagnosis of TS is likely, but there's still a chance of it going away or becoming very mild and controllable.  There are no blood, laboratory or brain imaging tests used for diagnosing tics. Most kids or adults are self-diagnosed after they, their parents / relatives or friends read or hear about TS or TTD. Chronic emotional, psychological and physical stress is associated with virtually every behavioral abnormality. Look at your child's daily routine and try to spot the major stressors, then alleviate them if you can. Doctors, psychologists and counselors recommend that family members don't call much attention to the tics, at least at first. This is because unwanted attention, especially if it's negative and involves anger or disparaging remarks, causes more stress that can make the tics worse. If the tics become complex and severe enough to cause social problems at school and/or work, then consider behavioral therapy and/or medications if they persist beyond a few months.  If the tic doesn't go away within a week or, ask your child what's bothering them. Maybe they have allergies, a chronic infection or another illness. Short-term repetitive behavior is not always a tic. Don't mimic your child's tic in efforts to be humorous or playful — it may make them more self-conscious or nervous. Seeking therapy or medication for a mild tic in a child due to your embarrassment is not a good idea. Deciding on treatment should depend on if the tic behavior disrupts your child's life or has a real negative impact. Cognitive behavioral therapy is usually the first line of treatment for tics that...
