Fill a bowl or denture cleaning container with cold tap water. Drop in the tablet. Remove it after 5 to 10 minutes. Do not leave the mouth guard in the water all day or overnight as strong cleaning solutions could harm it. Store your mouth guard in its container. You might also want to rinse it after taking it out of the container.

TL;DR in English: Purchase denture or retainer cleaning tablets. Place the mouth guard in the solution. Rinse well.

Refer back to the dimensions of the frame backing board you measured earlier. Using these measurements, place the ruler or T-square along the first edge of the mat and mark with a pencil on the back side of the mat where the cutting edge is to be. Start at the top edge of the mat and make a small notch every few inches. This will give you a dotted line to follow as you cut, and can help you realign the cutting trajectory if the ruler is to slip at any point. Always mark and cut from the back side of the mat. That way, none of your marks or cutting imperfections will be visible on the finished mat surface. Take the razor, box cutter or mat cutter tool and line it up with the edge of the ruler. Make sure the cutting edge is flush with the ruler; if you're using a mat cutter tool, it will be a sliding attachment with its own ruled edge to ensure that the cutter doesn't slip. When cutting manually, be sure to press firmly against the ruler or T-square to keep it from moving as you cut. Cut the mat with a slow, steady motion, applying equal pressure throughout the whole movement. Repeat the cutting process on the remaining three sides of the mat, checking again that the length and width are accurate and that you're cutting the right amount.  Bear down hard when cutting the mat. It's best to go all the way through on the first pass to keep the cut clean and straight, but if that's not possible then make several lighter passes, watching for crooked cuts. To continue a cut that is only partially complete, push down vertically with your blade until you go all the way through, adjust the angle of the blade, and resume cutting.  Remember: safety first. Severe injury can result from improper use of cutting tools. Cut slowly and keep all appendages out of the path of the blade. Cut the second mat board to the exact specifications of the first. You'll be using this mat as the window frame for the front of the picture. If you've selected a mat of a fanciful color or design, it should be the one you use for the window mat,...

TL;DR in English: Mark the first mat where it is to be cut. Cut the first (backing) mat. Cut the second (window frame) mat. Create layered mats. Secure the mats.

Jewelers are trained to recognize real and fake precious gems and stones. They can examine the stone under a magnifier to make sure it has the structure of a true jade and to check for signs of a fake. They will evaluate the properties of the stone and then tell you if it’s real or fake.  Typically, the jeweler will do these tests while you’re there. You may want to talk to more than 1 jeweler to get multiple opinions about the authenticity of the stone. Your jeweler can measure the density of the stone you suspect is jade using a spring scale and water displacement test. Then, they’ll compare the density to a jade density chart to see if it meets the standards of real jade. If it does, then your stone is likely real. However, it’s likely not real if the density of your stone is not consistent with jade. If you have concerns about the density test, ask your jeweler how they typically perform the test before they get started. They may even let you watch them do it. One of the benefits of seeing a jeweler is getting your stone valued. The jeweler can evaluate both the jade and its setting, if the stone is already part of a piece of jewelry. Ask them how much you can expect to sell the jade for, as well as if they think the value could increase over time.  Keep in mind that this valuation is still an estimate. It’s best to talk to multiple jewelers when you’re trying to estimate the value of a piece, but this can help you understand what your stone is worth.

Iron is important to your body. It helps make red blood cells. Those blood cells move oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. If you're cutting meat (a good source of iron), you'll need to add other foods with iron to your diet.  Some good sources of iron are broccoli, legumes (lentils, chickpeas, and baked beans), fortified cereals, enriched pasta, soybeans, tofu, dried fruit, and pumpkin seeds. Greens are also iron-rich, such as kale. If you eat these foods with foods high in vitamin C, your body will take in the iron more easily. Foods high in vitamin C include things like oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, tomatoes, broccoli, and strawberries. For instance, a good mixture to increase your iron would be a broccoli and chickpea salad with a squeeze of lemon juice. Some people may still need an iron supplement, especially girls who are having their periods. You may have heard calcium is good for strong bones. That's important when you're growing. You also may have heard that dairy is a great source of calcium. Many vegetarians still eat dairy, and if you are going to, that's one place you can get the calcium you need.  You can also get calcium by eating your greens (like kale). Figs are also a good source. Fortified soymilk, tofu, and fortified orange juice have calcium as well. A good meal for getting in some calcium might include sauteed kale tossed with some tofu or feta cheese, if you eat dairy. Vitamin D helps your body take in the calcium. That means your body can better use it for your bones. Most milk is fortified with this vitamin, and it is often included in fortified soy milk, too.  Interestingly, though, this is one area where you're like a plant. You can absorb vitamin D from being in the sun. You don't want to be out so long that you get burned, but just playing outside can be enough for you to get your vitamin D.  If you go outdoors to get your vitamin D, only stay in the sun for about 10 minutes. When spending more time in the sun, you need a sunscreen. Talk to your doctor to see if...

TL;DR in English: Eat your iron. Get your calcium. Eat your vitamin D, or take in some sun. Find sources of vitamin B12. Find sources of zinc.

Ear infections in beagles need immediate care. In addition to making your beagle feel even more miserable, an untreated an ear infection could lead to permanent hearing loss and cause illness in other parts of his body. Your vet will use an instrument called an otoscope to take a closer look inside your beagle’s ears. They will also take a sample of the debris and/or discharge in his ears and look at it under the microscope. If your beagle’s ears are really painful and sensitive, your beagle would need to be sedated for the exam.  Your vet will examine your beagle as a whole to identify other potential causes of the ear infection (e.g., diabetes, diseases of the immune system).  Food allergies can cause chronic ear infections in dogs. If your vet suspects a food allergy, then you would need to conduct a food elimination trial with your vet’s guidance. In general, treatment for ear infections involves cleaning and medicating the ears. The type of medication needed depends on the cause of the infection (e.g., antibiotics for a bacterial infection, antifungals for a yeast infection). Steroids are used to reduce inflammation.  If your beagle has a severe infection, he will need a veterinary ear cleaning. For the procedure, your vet would anesthetize your beagle, flush his ears out with warm water and put medication in the ears.  Underlying health conditions would need to be treated and/or managed along with the ear infection. If mites are causing the ear infection, your vet will prescribe a medication to kill the mites. Surgery is a ‘last resort’ option for chronic ear infections when there is so much scarring that the ear canal is nearly closed. A veterinary specialist would remove the entire ear canal. Although this procedure is expensive, it is very effective at preventing future ear infections. and treat your beagle’s ears as prescribed. Successful treatment of your beagle’s ear infection depends on you administering the medications exactly as prescribed. When you clean his ears, apply the prescribed number...

After high school, apply for internships through paleontology organizations, universities, and museums. You can learn about internship opportunities through your university and through local natural history museums. Many paleontology organizations offer internships in paleontology, as well as nonprofit-oriented work.  Keep up on searching for internships all year, because companies and organizations often post opportunities online. You can do a simple online search for internships in the field of your interest to start finding opportunities.  For example, the Bighorn Basin Paleontological Institute offers internships in fossil preparation, digitizing collections, education, grant writing, marketing and promotion, web development, and nonprofit management. It could be helpful to speak to a paleontologist at a local museum to tell you how to start collecting fossils on your own. The Paleontological Society lists mentorship programs that are hosted by the Geological Society of America. These programs offer travel scholarships and grants, as well as a luncheon for undergrads and grads to meet faculty mentors. During the Paleontological Society Mentors in Paleontology Career Luncheon, grads and undergrads can listen to and speak to a panel of professionals about careers in paleontology. Fieldwork looks good on college and scholarship applications. You may consider joining private digs through museums in states such as Utah, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado. You can also join projects such as Passport in Time offered through the United States Forest Service (USFS)In high school, students should go to science summer camps based on paleontology. There’s a camp called Paleontology Research Team offered through the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. The Center for Health Sciences offers a vertebrate paleontology volunteer program.

Take the high-cotton sewing thread into your hand. The cotton thread is what you are going to use to pull out the hairs. First, though, you need to prepare the thread for the threading process.  Fold the thread over onto itself. That’s why it needs to be so long. You’re essentially turning the thread into a long loop. To create the loop, tie the ends of the thread together. To do this, just make a knot at the end of the thread. The thread should not be open at either end. It should now form a large and continuous loop.

Make sure your snake is well ventilated.

Learn the signs your snake is about to shed. Create a moist shedding box. Mist the cage with lukewarm water. Manage the cage's humidity.

Column-shaped cacti often have less sections than other types, so it can be crucial to decide only what is needed to be cut. The columns store water and collect sunlight for the whole plant, so removing too much can be dangerous for the plant. Pruning the columns will be similar to sawing a tree branch off. You will want to make preliminary cuts a few inches above the base of the column, which is where the final cut is going to be made.  The first cut should be about ¼ of the way into the column, on the top or inner side, a few inches above the base. A second cut (similar in size) approximately 1 inch below the first, but on the bottom/outer side, will then help to control the weighted fall of the column when you make the final cut. Before making your final cut, make sure the area is clear where the cut portion will fall. From a safe place, starting at the top, inner side at the base where the cactus column has begun growing, saw through completely. You may continue repeating these types of cuts as needed to remove all unhealthy or overgrown areas. Keep in mind not to overdo it though so the plant does not suffer from over-pruning.

TL;DR in English: Decide which sections will need to be cut. Saw the necessary portions. Work through the unhealthy or overgrown sections.

Whether you use a landline or a cell phone, you can save money if you make frequent calls to France. Depending on your provider, you could purchase an international calling plan for a flat fee or a reduced per-minute rate. Ask your service provider about flat monthly fees and overage charges for calls to France. Many apps, such as Vonage, Skype, or WhatsApp, allow you to call France for a steep discount or even for free. Weigh the options of how much the app costs versus how much it will save you in charges. Shop around for the app that’s best for your calling habits. Consider how long you’re planning to talk, how often you plan to call, and whether you’re calling a landline or a cell phone. If you don’t have a smartphone, phone services through VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) allow you to call landlines, cell phones, or computers. Through VoIP providers like Vonage or Magic Jack, you can call France and many other European countries for a fraction of what you would pay through a traditional landline service. You can talk to anyone in France or anywhere else in the world free of charge over many video chat services. Be sure to check the fine print. With Skype, for example, your chat is free only if your contact is also using Skype and if you’re only talking to one other username. Three-way chats cost extra. Choose texting if you want to send short messages on an infrequent basis. If you want to let your friend in Paris know you’ve arrived in New York safely, $0.15 for a single text is the more affordable option than the $0.99 per minute a voice call could cost you.

TL;DR in English: Contact your phone company for a calling plan. Download an app to your smartphone. Look into VoIP services. Consider video chat. Consider text messaging.

You want to start preparing for the shedding process before it even begins. To do so, you'll have to keep an eye on your snake and watch for the signs that it is about to shed. When you start noticing signs, begin to prepare.  Watch your snake's eyes. They will have a dull, blueish white appearance just before the snake begins to shed. You should also take note of the snake's current skin. The skin will begin to dull just before shedding. Snakes need a lot of humidity to shed properly. One way you can increase the humidity in your snake's environment is with a shedding box. Take a box, like a shoebox, and make sure it is well ventilated by poking holes throughout. Place damp paper towels within the box, allowing the snake a damp place to shed. You can also try misting the cage lightly to increase humidity. Take a spray bottle and fill it with lukewarm water. You can also mist your snake with water just before shedding, if your snake will allow this. Monitor the humidity in your snake's environment. You can get a device at a pet store, or a department store, that measures humidity in your snake's cage. During the shedding process, snakes need a cage that is between 50 and 70% humidity. If the humidity in your snake's cage is below this level, there are several steps you can take to improve humidity.  Add a large water dish to the cage. Cover the top of the cage. If you have a screen top on the cage, you can safely cover half the top to increase humidity. Try using orchid bark substrate, which refers to the bedding that lines the bottom of the cage. Orchid bark tends to hold more humidity than other products.

If you have a small to moderate population and know all of the key values, you should use the standard formula. The standard formula for sample size is:  Sample Size = [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 / 1 + [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 * N]   N = population size  z = z-score  e = margin of error  p = standard of deviation Replace the variable placeholders with the numerical values that actually apply to your specific survey.   Example: Determine the ideal survey size for a population size of 425 people. Use a 99% confidence level, a 50% standard of deviation, and a 5% margin of error. For 99% confidence, you would have a z-score of 2.58. This means that:   N = 425  z = 2.58  e = 0.05  p = 0.5 Solve the equation using the newly inserted numerical values. The solution represents your necessary sample size.  Example: Sample Size = [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 / 1 + [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 * N] = [2.582 * 0.5(1-0.5)] / 0.052 / 1 + [2.582 * 0.5(1-0.5)] / 0.052 * 425]  = [6.6564 * 0.25] / 0.0025 / 1 + [6.6564 * 0.25] / 1.0625]  = 665 / 2.5663 = 259.39(final answer)

Use equal parts plain white vinegar and lukewarm water to create a mixture for cleaning your shag carpet. The white vinegar has many cleaning properties, but needs to be diluted a bit with water in order to be used safely and effectively in your home. For small stains, you could start with 1⁄2  c (120 mL) of white vinegar and 1⁄2  c (120 mL) of lukewarm water. Dip a clean microfiber cloth into the vinegar cleaning solution and start working the cleaner into the shag carpet. Rub the stain quite vigorously (though avoid breaking or damaging the long shag carpet fibers) until the stain dissipates to your satisfaction. You may need to use quite a bit of elbow grease to fully eliminate the stain. Once you have finished scrubbing, you’ll need to let the shag carpet dry completely before you begin to use it like normal again. This can take up to 48 hours, or even longer depending on the size of the carpet and the thickness of the fibers. You can think about setting up box fans to blow on the shag carpet to help it dry more quickly if you are running short on time.

TL;DR in English: Mix the cleaning solution. Use a microfiber cloth to clean the stain. Let the shag carpet dry.

It's natural to want to comfort your dog, stroke his head, and speak soothingly to him. You may even be worried if you're both dealing with a stressful event, like an operation at the vet's. Unfortunately, your dog can pick up on your anxiety, making him feel like the situation is out of control, amplifying his anxiety. Don't give your dog treats or respond with hugging or petting. These reward your dog's anxious behavior, which means that he learns to repeat it. Since your dog will be paying close attention to how you respond to stressful situations, signal to him that everything is fine. If you act as if nothing has changed, your dog will have no cause for alarm. If your dog is showing signs of anxiety, like trembling, shaking, or whining, then ignore his behavior. Speak to your dog in a firm but kind voice telling him not to be silly. He'll recognize the disapproval in your tone of voice and understand that you aren't concerned so neither should he be. Your dog may be feeling out of control and fearful. Focus his attention on you and distract him by doing a simple training session, even if it's in the vet's waiting room. Do simple training commands like "Sit", "Down", or "Stay." This tells him you are in control, you are not worried, and that everything is normal.  With his attention elsewhere, the hormones that make him feel anxious subside so he'll relax. Practicing these commands when your dog is anxious can also help you deal with any separation anxiety your dog might have. Create a place that your dog associates with safety and can retreat to. Plan ahead and train your dog to accept a crate as a safe place. At times of exceptional anxiety, cover part of the crate with a blanket to make it even more den-like. Being in a calming environment will stabilize his anxiety levels. Casually place toys in your dog's crate but continue to act normally and avoid eye contact. This way, you won't be reinforcing any fearful behavior. Your dog is anxious because his body produces hormones, like cortisol and...

TL;DR in English: Avoid reinforcing your dog's anxiety. Act as normally as possible. Show your dog you're still in control. Offer a safe haven or crate. Try to understand your dog's anxiety.

Combine the flax seed and water in a small bowl and set aside for about 5 minutes. The mixture should thicken, turning into a gel consistency. Create a small indentation or well in the center top of the mound. This dough is a little more fragile than the basic dough, so it is recommended that you mix it by hand instead of using a stand mixer. Spoon the flax seed gel into the flour mound. Gently bring the walls of the flour well in, combining the flour with the flax seed gel evenly. Only mix the dough as long as necessary for it to come together. Wrap the dough in wax paper or plastic wrap and allow it to rest at room temperature.  This dough can stay out longer than 30 minutes, but the gel may begin to break down if you leave it out for more than a few hours. Do not refrigerate the dough.

Turn your body to face the hoop and plant your feet on the ground. Your feet should be turned towards your opposite hand about 10-45 degrees in order to align your hip, shoulder, and elbow with the basket. If you're just starting to learn how to make jump shots, begin by practising on your own — in other words, don't have a friend "cover" you until you've made a few shots on your own or it'll be hard to make progress. Believe it or not, the way you position your feet and lower body can have a big impact on your shooting accuracy even though you don't directly use them to shoot the ball. Flex your knees slightly to give yourself the flexibility you'll need to power your jump. Shoulder-width or narrower foot positioning is important for your shooting speed and balance. Keep your feet closer together and you'll be fine. Keep them too wide apart and you won't be able to give your jump enough power or react quickly to changes on the field. Dip the ball to your shooting side waist or thigh. Spread your fingers and hold the ball with your fingertips to get as much control of the ball as possible. Position your shooting hand (the same one you write with) behind the ball so that the back of this hand faces directly away from the basket. Position your non-shooting hand on the side of the ball so that the thumb on this hand points toward your forehead. Your non-shooting hand is just as important for your shot as your shooting hand, so don't neglect it. Though it won't give your shot any power, it's largely responsible for shot control and balance. To see how important your non-shooting hand is, once you've gotten the hang of your jump shot, try shooting one-handed! Push with your hips and legs to launch yourself into the air. For the greatest accuracy, as you flex, keep the forearm (ulna) aligned vertically, so that the hinged motion is always in line with the hoop. Think of shooting as a smooth hinged motion with your elbow as the hinge. Ideally, the forearm should be aligned pointing at the hoop. If your elbow moves...

TL;DR in English: First, pick a comfortable shooting location (many find it easiest to shoot from the free throw line, the elbows of the key on either side of it, or close to the hoop). Get into a strong shooting stance. Bring the ball into shooting position. Flex your knees, then jump! Launch the ball. Release and follow through.

You might experience short-term tinnitus that goes away. However, tinnitus that persists can be really annoying and may make it hard to live your life. Fortunately, your doctor may help you create a treatment plan to help you find relief. Visit your doctor if you have the following symptoms:  Ringing Buzzing Clicking Hissing Roaring Humming You might experience tinnitus after a cold, the flu, bronchitis, or another respiratory infection. When this happens, your tinnitus should resolve quickly. However, you need to see your doctor if it persists. Let them know that your symptoms were triggered by a respiratory infection. See your regular doctor first. However, they may refer you to a specialist such as an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist (ENT specialist or otolaryngologist). Tinnitus can cause complications, which might interfere with your life. If this happens to you, your doctor may be able to help you find a treatment that gives you relief. Talk to your doctor if you experience any of the following complications: Fatigue Stress Insomnia Trouble concentrating Memory issues Depression Anxiety Irritability The doctor will likely physically examine your ears with an otoscope (a lighted instrument for inspecting ears). You may also undergo a hearing test and potentially some imaging tests such as an MRI or a CT scan. In some cases, more extensive tests may be necessary.  In general, these tests are not invasive or painful but may cause some discomfort. Common causes of tinnitus include Meniere’s Disease, Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, head and neck injuries, benign tumors, and hypothyroidism. In some cases, tinnitus can be caused by aging or age-related conditions, like menopause. Loud noises can contribute to tinnitus, so it’s important that your doctor knows if you have this risk factor. Discuss your current and past exposure to loud noises and ask if it may be to blame.  For instance, working around loud construction equipment or attending concerts may trigger tinnitus. Your doctor may recommend you...

Using proper ESD procedures, connect the devices in your PC to the new power supply. Verify that no cables or unused connectors are stuck in the CPU fan or touching other moving parts. Replace and fasten down the case cover. Replace all external connections to the back of the computer (power cord, mouse, keyboard, monitor, network cable, speakers, etc).

Commonly, people who report symptoms of depression lack pleasure or lack of interest in activities and/or loss of meaning.  The act of creating music allows you to take risks and experience yourself in a different way, while being supported in a therapeutic setting. Especially if you have a difficult time expressing yourself otherwise, you can experience moving emotions through playing music. Allow the music you create to have meaning to you. You can create a song specifically around the sadness you feel from losing a beloved pet, the struggle you experience after a career change, the longing of leaving something of value to you. Let those emotions and experiences guide your music as you play. When engaged in music, you allow yourself to relate differently. Instead of using words, you use emotion, tone, rhythm, and collaboration. Interacting and engaging through music allows you to express yourself when words may be difficult to find, but the emotion is not.  Working with a music therapist can help you connect more deeply with your emotions and work through them in a supportive environment. Notice how you feel when you play music. Do you feel present, focused on the moment, the music, and the feeling? These can be healing factors to depression. Music can be described as sound, which can be further reduced to vibration. Vibration therapy (called vibroacoustic therapy) uses low level vibrations that can be heard and felt  and applies them to the body. Vibroacoustic therapy works with the body in a way that allows the emotions and body to work more harmoniously together by stimulating different parts of the body through vibration. While still gaining momentum as a treatment option for depression, some studies have concluded positive responses to vibroacoustic therapy as a treatment approach to depression.  Vibroacoustic therapy also helps with chronic pain(such as fibromyalgia)  by lowering pain, increasing movement, and reducing medication dosage.  If you’re working with a music therapist, ask to play with...

It’s best to focus on training one canary at a time, with one canary in a single cage in a room. Canaries are prone to getting nervous about possible predators around them, so be patient and let your canary get familiar with the area around her cage. Avoid making sudden movements and loud noises when you enter the room so you don’t startle your bird. Spend time sitting in the room with your canary for the first several days. When you enter the room, make a low sound or whistle and then repeat the same sound or whistle every time you enter the room. This will become your “special noise” for your canary, which will signal her of your presence. Hang your bird’s cage so it sits eye level with you, as she can become stressed from having to make too many movements with her head. Place her cage in a room with some household activity so she can watch you and become comfortable with your presence. At night, cover her cage with a dark cloth so she knows when it’s night and time for bed. Take the covering off in the morning so she can recognize that it is day and time for activity. Avoid direct eye contact when you first enter and sit in the room, as many birds associate direct eye contact with danger. Instead, watch your canary in her cage from a safe distance. As you watch your canary during the first few days, you may note she is flitting around the cage as well as feeding, bathing and preening in your presence. Once she stops flitting around and grooming herself, you can begin to make closer contact with her. This will help your canary get familiar with you over a period of time, and build your relationship. Sit near her cage, whistle to her, and talk in a quiet tone. Over time, she will recognize your voice and come to see you as a friend. Stress can kill canaries so focus on acting calm and soothing around her. Some canary owners create a certain low noise, like a humming or shushing, that they then repeat when they move close to the canary’s cage. The canary will get used to the “special noise” and come to...

TL;DR in English: Let your canary get used to her surroundings. Keep her cage at eye level. Observe your canary. Talk quietly to your canary for 10 to 15 minutes, twice a day.

Most power supplies used in modern computers are of the "ATX" variety, but if you aren't sure, take the old unit to the store with you to compare. The simplest rule of thumb is that the new unit should be exactly the same width as the old one. It's fine if the new unit is a bit longer, as long as it will still fit into your case. Do not hesitate to ask the salesperson or technician for help in identifying the correct unit to purchase. If the new unit has a large bottom mounted fan, the bottom rear bottom flange on some cases might get in the way. Add it to the case in the same place the old unit was, and use the mounting screws to fasten it down. The connections should be the same as they were before. It can require a bit of force to insert power connectors correctly, but if if you have to strain a great deal to push them in, you may be trying to connect them backward. It is very difficult to connect most Molex connectors improperly, but if you are determined (and strong) enough, it can be done. If you have to force too hard, try turning the connector around. If the CPU fan is stopped by a loose connector (or any other obstruction), the processor can be destroyed very quickly. You may wish to restrain unused cables to prevent them from getting tangled up in fans.  Power up the system and enjoy your new power supply. If your system doesn't start up correctly here, your failing power supply could have taken out the motherboard.

States have different rules related to life estates and there are complicated implications, such as potential Medicaid ineligibility, which may significantly impact you. If you are considering entering into a life estate, speak with an attorney so that you understand all of the risks as well as benefits. You can locate attorneys in a number of ways, including:  Referral from friend or family member. If someone you know used a trust and estates or elder law attorney, you can ask them whether they would recommend that attorney. A recommendation from a trusted person who has personal experience with an attorney is a good place to start. Local or state legal bar associations.

Although peripheral neuropathy typically begins in the lower limbs, specifically the feet, it also eventually effects the smaller peripheral nerves that innervate the fingers, hands and arms. As such, be vigilant about checking your hands for the above-mentioned potential symptoms and complications of diabetes.  Similar to the stocking-like distribution of diabetic foot symptoms, complications in the upper limbs progress in a glove-like pattern (from the hands and then up the arms). Diabetic-related symptoms in the hands can mimic or be misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome or Raynaud’s disease (arteries that narrow more than normal when exposed to cold temperatures). It's much easier to check and be aware of your hands on a regular basis compared to your feet because your feet are often encased in socks and shoes. The autonomic system includes the nerves that automatically control your heart rate, bladder, lungs, stomach, intestines, genitals, and eyes. Diabetes (hyperglycemia) can affect these nerves and cause a variety of complications, such as: increased heart rate, hypotension, urinary retention or incontinence, constipation, bloating, loss of appetite, difficulty swallowing, erectile dysfunction and vaginal dryness.  Uncontrolled sweating (or complete lack of sweating) in the feet or other parts of the body is a sign of autonomic neuropathy. Widespread autonomic neuropathy eventually causes organ dysfunction, such as heart disease and kidney failure. Both peripheral and autonomic neuropathies affect the eyes, as does the destruction of small blood vessels due to glucose toxicity. In addition to the concern of infection and potential foot/leg amputation, going blind is often the biggest fear of diabetics. Eye complications related to diabetes include difficulty adapting to low-light conditions, blurry vision, watery eyes and gradual reduced visual acuity leading to blindness.   Diabetic retinopathy affects blood vessels in the eye's retina and is the most common cause of vision loss among diabetics. In...

There are a few things you'll need to clean your windows without streaks. In terms of cleaning solution, your best bets are water and dish soap, water and vinegar, or a professional window cleaner of your choice. The tools and equipment you'll need include:  Vinegar or a mineral deposit cleaner for stubborn stains Scraper or razor for stickers, tape, paint, and sap Vacuum Sponge or lint-free cloth Sharp rubber squeegee for drying A few clean, lint-free rags or cloths Large bucket To clean a window so it has no streaks, it’s important to start by removing everything from the surface of the glass, including built-up dirt, bird droppings, stickers, tape, paint, sap, and other stubborn marks.  Stubborn stains and grime can be removed with white vinegar or a mineral deposit cleaner. Either spray the stains with vinegar and let it sit for five minutes before wiping, or clean the area with a sponge that’s wet with the mineral cleaner. To remove tape, paint, and sticky messes, wet the area and use a scraper to remove the tape. Hold the scraper at a 45-degree angle to the glass, and press gently as you move forward underneath the tape. When you're cleaning your windows, your sponge can pick up dust and dirt from around the window and create streaks. To prevent this, you should vacuum or clean the sills, sashes, and frames before washing.  For inside windows, use a small brush attachment and vacuum all around the windows. For outside windows, use either a vacuum with a long hose attachment, a portable vacuum, or a pressure washer. Outdoor windows are frequently bombarded with dust, dirt, and debris from the outside world. The best way to prevent that dirt from leaving streaks on your clean windows is by removing as much of it as possible before you start cleaning. Use a hose outfitted with a spray nozzle and spray all the outdoor windows to remove dirt, grime, and other buildup. You can use any cleaning solution you prefer, even for streak-free windows. The technique and tools you use are more important than the...

TL;DR in English: Gather your cleaning supplies. Remove stubborn stains. Vacuum the windows. Hose off outside windows. Mix your cleaning solution. Scrub the windows. Wipe the windows dry. Clean up excess water. Keep your squeegee dry. Replace the cleaner as necessary.

There are a variety of foods in the typical American or Western diet that should be limited or avoided due to their link to heart disease.  Trans fats in particular are one of the worst foods for your heart.  The majority of trans fats are very processed and are a man-made fat.  Very few trans fats occur naturally.  They're typically labeled as "hydrogenated oil" or "partially hydrogenated oils" on the food label. These fats are considered the worst by health professionals.  They raise your LDL (or bad cholesterol) and decrease your HDL (good cholesterol).  The most common sources of trans fat are:  fried foods, fast foods, baked goods and pastries, creamer and margarine, pre-made cookie dough or biscuit dough, and snack foods like chips, crackers or buttery popcorn. There is no safe limit for trans fats.  You want to avoid them as much as possible. Saturated fat is another type of fat that health professionals typically want limited in your diet.  Although not considered as unhealthy as trans fats, it's still important to limit your total saturated fat intake.  Unlike trans fats, saturated fats occur naturally.  They typically occur in animal products like full-fat dairy products, fatty red meat, skin on poultry and fatty cuts of pork.  Saturated fat has been shown to increase your LDL levels (the bad cholesterol); however, it does not affect your HDL levels.  Some studies have also shown that high quantities of saturated fat may increase your risk for type 2 diabetes.  Health professionals recommend limiting your total saturated fat intake to less than 10% of your total calories.  If you're eating 2,000 calories daily, you shouldn't consume more than 22 g of saturated fat daily. In addition to limiting saturated fats and cutting out trans fats, it's also important to moderate your total sodium intake.  Although sodium doesn't have a direct effect on your heart, other conditions it causes do.  A high sodium diet can lead to high blood pressure and stroke.  High blood pressure can severely damage your heart...

Sing an upbeat and energetic song that acts as an emotional catharsis. Engage in meditation that includes thoughts of love and compassion. Do something that makes you laugh out loud. Modify the tone of your voice when you talk with people.

These signs are a dead giveaway that you have a termite infestation. Termites are similar in appearance to winged ants. Unlike ants however, termites shed their wings after swarming.  Termites will leave worm-like mud tunnels that are visible on the surface of walls within your house. These tunnels are used to protect worker termites.  To determine if it’s an ant or a termite, look at its antennae. If they are bent, this is a sign you have flying ants. If they are straight then they are termites.  Note that subterranean termites don’t leave droppings behind, as they use them to construct tunnels. Drywood termites build their homes in dry wood, much like their name suggests, while subterranean termites live in the ground. Look for sawdust-like material around any holes or cracks around your home.  The sawdust-like matter is known as frass, which is a form of termite excrement.  Probe the small holes with a pin or other thin object to see if you can locate an exit hole for the termites. Subterranean termites may try to make their home beneath yours. Check the inside and outside of your foundation, crawl space, and support piers for termites or damage. Termites are capable of breaking down cellulose in wood which creates a digestible food source for them. Sometimes this can include entire walls.  Solid walls should make a thud noise and sound like there is something behind it. If your walls make a hollow or echoey sound when you knock on them, there’s a good chance your walls are hollow and you have termites.

TL;DR in English: Look for dead termites, termite wings, or termite droppings. Examine wood in your house for small holes or sawdust-like matter. Inspect your foundation and crawl space. Knock on non-hollow walls to see if they’ve been hollowed by the termites.

If you have AFib, it’s important to have your doctor monitor your condition to make sure that it’s under control and that any treatments you’re using are working effectively. Make sure to keep regular appointments with your doctor, and don’t hesitate to contact them between appointments if you have questions or concerns. Take any medications that your doctor prescribes according to their instructions, and follow any other home care instructions carefully. Call them if you experience any side effects from your medications. Let your doctor know right away if your symptoms change or get worse.

TL;DR in English: Follow up with your doctor as often as recommended.

Singing is a great way to release pent-up emotions and help you feel more relaxed, positively affecting your entire parasympathetic nervous system. Singing loudly also exercises your vocal cords and throat muscles, which in turn stimulate the vagus nerve.  Singing also leads your body to release oxytocin, which produces feelings of joy and well-being. If you’re unable to sing loudly, humming softly and even gargling water can also work your throat muscles and thus stimulate your vagus nerve. According to one study, generating positive emotions in yourself through loving-kindness meditation and enhancing your sense of social connection can lead to heightened activity in the vagus nerve. Note that your meditation needs to include compassionate thoughts of others in order to reap this benefit.  In other words, the act of meditation alone will not necessarily stimulate your vagus nerve; having thoughts of love and compassion for others is what’s most important. To practice loving-kindness meditation, start by sitting in a comfortable pose and focusing on your breathing to clear your mind. Then, begin to mentally repeat 1 or more mantras that reflect compassion for yourself and for others, such as “May I be happy” and “May my coworkers be healthy and strong.” Laughing is arguably the easiest and most enjoyable way to stimulate your vagus nerve. Watch a TV show, movie, or stand-up comic to receive a variety of health benefits just from laughing.  Some of the other health benefits accrued by laughing include increasing circulation to different parts of the body, lowering your blood pressure, and releasing chemicals in your body that are beneficial to the cardiovascular system. Try watching a funny show or movie with other people; people tend to laugh more easily when enjoying something funny with others! Speaking in a calm, even tone may help you to soothe yourself. When you hear a soothing voice, such as the voice of a loved one or trusted friend, your body releases oxytocin. On the other hand, not hearing soothing...

If you’ve chosen to use soil, fill the container to the top. Poke a hole through the center, all the way down to the bottom of the container. If you’ve chosen to use rockwool, you can simply insert the chunk of rockwool into the container. Pour enough water into the soil that it’s wet, but not drenched. If you’re using rockwool, it would already have been soaked overnight, so adding more water is not necessary. You’ll want to select a lateral stem to cut, not a terminal stem. Terminal stems are the main stems that come up from the ground, while lateral stems protrude from the sides of the terminal stems.  After you’ve made your cut, look at the stem and remove any leaves or flower buds from its base. When there are too many leaves or buds on a plant cutting, they suck most of the water from the base of the stem and may keep your plant from rooting. Root hormones can be in liquid or powder form. If you’re using a powder, dip the stem in some water and then apply the powder to the end, so it sticks. Do not coat the whole stem in root hormone. Focus on lightly coating the very bottom of the stem. Try to put about one-third of the stem into the hole.. A plastic bag can often work well for this if you have nothing else. When you cover the plant, it keeps the moisture and allows the plant to continue living while it attempts to produce roots.  What you use to cover the plant will depend upon the container you’ve chosen to house your clone.

TL;DR in English: Fill the pot or container with soil or rockwool. Water the soil. Make a diagonal cut on the stem of the plant using a sharp knife or scissors. Dip the stem in root hormone (if you've that decided root hormones are right for your plant). Put the stem of the plant into the hole in the soil or rockwool. Cover the container in plastic or glass.

If you can’t give someone a positive reference, then try to decline. This can be difficult. You might never have been honest with the person that you didn’t think they were a good employee and now you find it difficult to let them know.  Claim to be too busy. Apologize but state you’re swamped and can’t handle a reference right now. This is a good excuse if you’re asked to write a reference. If the person no longer works with you, gently remind them that more recent employers would make better references. Ideally, you will simply say, “I’m sorry, I can’t give you a positive reference, John” or something to that effect. This puts the person on notice that they shouldn’t put you down as a reference. You can always agree to provide only basic information. This is the easiest information to provide and protects you legally from a lawsuit. For example, agree to provide only the following:  job titles dates of employment final salary Some employers have been sued for defamation for providing negative reviews which cost someone a job. Defamation is a false statement that intentionally harms someone’s reputation. If a bad employee has asked for a reference, you should meet with your lawyer.  If your business doesn’t have a lawyer, then get a referral from your local or bar association. Ask for a lawyer who specializes in labor and employment. Discuss your options with the lawyer. Your options will be limited based on the law in your area. Truth is a defense to defamation, so you can protect yourself by always being accurate. Look through the employee’s performance reviews and personnel file to see if there are notes about the employee’s bad behavior. This evidence can help back up what you are writing. The hiring manager is also entitled to an accurate reference. In fact, if you commit a misrepresentation, you could be sued. For example, you can’t accidentally claim an employee was a supervisor when she wasn’t. You can protect yourself legally by requiring the candidate to sign a release of liability. You can find...

Ideally, your rod should be several inches (or centimeters) wider than your window to give your curtain panels enough space. Before you've purchased a curtain rod, use a measuring tape and write down your window's length.  Longer curtain rods make the window look larger than it is. As a rule of thumb: choose a curtain rod 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) wider than your window. Placing your curtain rod directly above your window will make your window appear narrow and cramped. Check the height of your window, then mark a spot 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) above it. This will make your windows and ceiling appear spacious. Curtains that are too short to reach the floor look awkward. Your curtains should touch the floor or even pool slightly on the bottom. Write down your measurement, then add several inches/centimeters depending on how high you hang your rod. Avoid letting more than 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of curtain pool on the floor. Use your measurements to determine the right length or height of your brackets. Write with a pencil in case you need to adjust your markings. Hold your brackets up to the wall as you make the pencil marks to accurately determine where screws will go. In most cases, the right brackets and screws will come with your curtain rod. Crooked curtains can ruin the overall look of a room. Use a level and measuring tape to make sure your marked lines are straight. Continue adjusting the marks until your line is even.  If the bubble floats in between the two marked lines on your level, your area is straight. Straight edges combine levels with measuring tape and can make a useful alternative.

After your shower, place the shampoo bar on a clean towel for 5 to 20 minutes so it can dry completely. If you put the bar away when it is still wet or damp, it will disintegrate over time.  Avoid leaving your shampoo bar in the shower. You can also place your bar on a small dish or on top of your other cosmetic bottles. Purchase a reusable tin to the size of your shampoo bar. Then, place the dry shampoo bar inside to keep it clean and preserved.  Shampoo bars work great whether you are on a road trip, flying to a vacation getaway, or taking a train across the country. To prevent the shampoo bar from sticking to the bottom, cut a piece of wax paper to the size of your tin, and place it along the bottom. Then, put your shampoo bar on top. To preserve your shampoo bar without using a tin, place it inside of a clean plastic bag when the shampoo bar is dry. Then, wrap a rubber band around the top several times to keep out any air. As an alternative to a bag and rubber band, you can also use a resealable bag, such as a Ziploc bag. Keeping the shampoo bar in a plastic bag seals out any moisture, so your shampoo bar will stay fresh in between uses. On average, a shampoo bar will last about 80 washes, depending on the frequency of use and your hair type. Since the shampoo bar is all natural, you don't have to worry about it going bad. Simply use the bar until it disappears!

TL;DR in English: Let your shampoo bar dry completely before putting it away. Place your shampoo bar in a reusable tin for long-term storage. Wrap your shampoo bar in a plastic baggie as a water-tight option. Use your shampoo bar until it runs out.

You might be a little out of the game and not remember how to look or present yourself. Wear clothes that fit well and that look good on your body. Maintain proper hygiene (such as showering regularly, grooming your hair, and not having a strong body odor). These are easy ways to present yourself and give a good first impression.  Consider making some changes to your wardrobe if your clothes are old, worn, or do not properly fit you. If you can't afford new clothes, go through your wardrobe and evaluate what you have. Try mixing and matching different pieces or tailoring garments to fit you better. Ask a friend for some advice if you have difficulty evaluating yourself.

When making eye contact, lock your gaze for 2-3 seconds, then look away. You want to make eye contact, but not stare at them. While you may want to tell the person that you are divorced, don’t spend your date talking about your ex, your marriage, or the divorce. This might signal to the person that you are not ready to move on or that you are caught in dilemmas regarding your divorce.  For example, you might say something simple, such as, “I am divorced. Everything is finalized and I’m ready to move on with my life.”...

Dampen the cloth in vinegar, then wring it out to remove excess moisture. Before you place it on the carpet, make sure it isn’t dripping. Vinegar is also effective on other surfaces, from clothing to metal. It is worth a try as a natural solution or if other treatments fail. Apply the salt directly to the carpet. Cover the stain in an even layer of the salt. Position the cloth so it covers the stain. The salt draws the rust up out of the carpet fibers, while the vinegar dissolves it. The vinegar also neutralizes any unpleasant odors in the treated area. Add more vinegar to the cloth to saturate it. Wring it out again to prevent it from dripping vinegar everywhere. Then, lay it over the stain and wait another 30 minutes. You may need to do this a few times to remove tough stains. Older and deeper stains take repeated treatments. After the stain vanishes, wait for the carpet to dry completely to the touch. Then, vacuum the area to remove any salt left in the carpet fibers. Vacuuming will also perk up the carpet’s fibers, making them look fresh and fluffy again.

Rosemary prefers a drier soil, so don't overdo the watering. It will be happy with the average garden watering. It likes to source most of its water from rain. This is not an herb that needs it. However, make sure that there is some lime in the soil. Though rosemary is hardy, it can suffer in very cold weather (lows of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or less) and its branches can get damaged when laden with heavy snow. To ensure the plant survives the winter, it's best to bring it indoors. If your winter lows do not get down to 0 degrees F, then you do not have to do this. as needed. Pruning isn't necessary for the health of the plant, but rosemary bushes tend to grow quite large and take up a lot of garden space. Cut the branches back by a few inches each spring to help them retain their shape.

TL;DR in English: Water rosemary infrequently. Don't worry about fertilizing. Bring the pots indoors in winter if you live in a cold place. Prune rosemary

To help apply treatments, you may need to remove the top brown scabs first. Press a warm, wet cloth to the area for a few minutes, or soak the area in warm water to soften them. Gently rub the area with a wet, soapy washcloth when done, and rinse with water. Be sure to keep the washcloth separate from other people, as it can pass the rash. Antibiotic ointment is usually the first treatment option for impetigo, and your doctor will prescribe the best one for your rash. Put on gloves or a finger cot before applying the ointment. Rub the ointment on the affected area.  If you do not have gloves, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands when you are done applying the ointment.  Your doctor may prescribe a topical antibiotic such as mupirocin, retapamulin, or fusidic acid. The other common treatment option for impetigo is an oral antibiotic. Usually, you take an antibiotic pill once or twice a day, with food, for up to 10 days.  Your doctor will probably prescribe a topical antibiotic first, unless you have an extensive or resistant rash. Resistance to oral antibiotics is becoming a problem, so doctors tend not to prescribe them unless absolutely necessary.  Your doctor will likely prescribe an oral antibiotic such as dicloxacillin or cephalexin. If you are allergic to penicillin, she may prescribe clindamycin or erythromycin. Whether you are on pills or cream, follow your doctor's instructions for how long you should take it. Even if you seem to be better, the bacteria may not be completely gone, and it can come back worse if you don't finish out your medication. While it can be tempting to scratch the sores, it can also make the rash worse. It can spread the rash across your body or to another person. If you still have the rash after 7 days and it isn't showing signs of healing, you should return to your doctor, as he or she may need to give you a different antibiotic. Your doctor may need to run some tests to see what type of bacteria is causing the impetigo. Certain types of bacteria, such as MRSA...

Say: "Father, God, I change my mind and turn from my sin, reject all my wrong doing; I want your will, and I truly thank you for everything you have done and that I am now freely forgiven and can be saved from the penalty for my sins -- as a free gift. I know that you place a new life in me. Thank you for your gift to me of receiving The Holy Spirit in Jesus' name." " "Follow Jesus Christ" includes going to Christian meetings with people of like faith and being Baptised. You must repent and be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit as a sign of accepting Him, for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the promised gift of the Holy Ghost. The five ways to grow your relationship with God are: praying to God, reading the Bible, praising, worshiping, and fasting. Also, through Jesus and the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit we show God's love by kindness, forgiving others, making peace, having a faithful, loving relationship with believers (Don't live by feelings; judge no one harshly, not even yourself; live and walk in Christ's Spirit, in The Spirit of God in faith, hope and charity. So, live in the Spirit and "And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man snatch them out of My hand", Jesus said; that is safety, secured.) But, when you (in your mind) are convicted of sin -- repent, asking God for, accepting forgiveness, expecting consequences for some wrongs -- and going on as a Child of God, all in Christ Jesus' name -- with God as the one, true Judge of all things both good and bad. God's love is perfect and casts out all fear.

Your sunscreen for a day at the beach versus a quick 15 minute walk doesn’t have the same requirements. For prolonged sun exposure, which you should try to avoid, make sure to use a higher SPF and to reapply often. There’s no need to go above SPF 50, but make sure it is broad spectrum to guard against all UV rays. For a lighter sunscreen, you can go as low as SPF 15 if you will only be out in the sun for a few minutes. To limit your sun exposure, try taking breaks. For example, if you are going to the beach for a day, spend an hour swimming and then go inside somewhere to eat lunch and reapply sunscreen. Look for a water-resistant sunblock if you plan on being in the water or if you sweat a lot. It can take about 80 minutes for a water-resistant sunblock to wash off of you. A water-resistant sunblock will ensure that you have protection from the sun even when you are enveloped in water. If you won’t be exposed to water, consider other factors of your activities, such as altitude. If you are high in the mountains skiing or hiking, you will need a higher SPF because of increased sun exposure, even if it’s cold out! Another factor to keep in mind is your location. If you are in Mexico versus Canada, your sun exposure will be quite different! Protect yourself accordingly. While all skin types benefit from sunscreen, fair skin can be especially cancer prone. If your skin is light, use a stronger sunscreen like broad spectrum SPF 50. But even if you tan easily or have very dark skin, you are still at risk for sun damage! Just because you don’t burn, doesn’t mean your skin is safe. Protect yourself by using a lower SPF. Certain skin types are more at risk for skin cancer. Fair skin with light hair or red hair tends to be most at risk for sunburns and cancer. Be especially careful if any family members have had skin cancer. Make sure to protect yourself with appropriate sunscreen and other protective measures such as dark clothing. This is especially important for young kids. It is not recommended that children use...

Bird feeders can be as popular for stray cats as they are for birds. A stray cat may see those bird feeders as a way to attack readily available prey. If you have multiple bird feeders, you may be attracting more than one stray cat to your yard, which could be very distressing to your cat. If your cat is exclusively outdoors and you feed him outside, you could be attracting stray cats to your yard. Not only would the stray cat want to keep coming back for the food, he would likely fight your cat for access to the food, which could place your cat at risk of serious injury and illness. Additionally, if you grow catnip in your yard, you could be making your yard very attractive to a stray cat. If you have a female cat that has not been spayed, she could be attracting intact male cats to your yard. Your female cat would be giving off pheromones that an intact male cat would be able to smell. If you know that your female cat is not spayed, and you notice that male stray cats are on the prowl in your yard, schedule an appointment to have your cat spayed as soon as possible. If your intact female cat comes into contact with an intact male stray cat, your cat could become pregnant. The stray cat may frequent a particular area of your yard, such as a garden or sandbox. He may also like to go to an area under your house that is warm and safe. If you can identify where the stray cat likes to go, then you can start coming up with ways to keep him out of those particular areas.  If keeping an eye out on the stray cat is not practical for your schedule, you could also observe how your cat is acting. If your cat starts to spray inside your house, either at the window or on the wall near the opposite window, it is likely that a stray cat is visiting your yard.  Take notice if your cat  becomes increasingly aggressive at you or other pets in your home (called ‘redirected aggression’) if he cannot actually get to the stray cat outside.  Your cat may also become fearful inside your home if a stray cat is outside. Even though...

This is a simple task that will help you get into a self-positive mindset, which is essential to maintaining confidence. Yes, you have areas that need improving, everybody does, but often, a lack of confidence comes from a lack of self-esteem. Listing the positives in your life can help you get past the minor negatives. Here are some things you could include:  Talents or skills: This doesn't have to be competitive. It only means that you see yourself as talented or skillful in some area, like athletics, art, business, or creativity. Personality traits: Note anything about your personality that you take pride in. For example, you might see yourself as hard working, caring, or imaginative. Accomplishments: These are things you've achieved that you're proud of. Maybe you performed in a concert, spoke in front of an audience, baked a birthday cake, or ran in a race. Frequently, this develops when you don't feel supported or listened to by people in your life. This often begins in early childhood and stems from family interactions. Maybe your parents were overly critical, harsh or punishing. This can prevent the development of self-confidence and create worried, hesitant, and fearful adults who lack a sense of self.  On the other hand, parents who overprotect their children, also do them a disservice by not allowing them to try, fail, try again, and finally succeed. The adult version is afraid to try anything new for fear of failure.  For example, if your parents always criticized your efforts in school, you may grow up believing you aren’t smart or that you can’t possibly succeed in life. You may believe that others think you aren’t smart or hardworking. Or, if your parents never let you go anywhere by yourself as a child, for fear you would get lost or kidnapped, you may have a difficult time as an adult going to unfamiliar places. In truth, failure or getting lost is what helps us learn. Do you want to build confidence in speaking to people? In public speaking? Write down the areas in which you want to build...

You’ll also need a container or basket to collect your broccoli in. Ensure that your pruners/knife are clean and sharp, as this will keep your broccoli healthy after you cut it, and allow it to continue growing. Measure about 5-8 inches down the stalk below the head and clip or cut the stem. Ensure you cut at an angle to prevent rain from pooling on top and rotting the centre of the stem. Try to make the cut in one motion to avoid tearing the stalk. In the weeks after you harvest the main head, your plant may continue to grow side shoots that you can also cut off for up to three months. Check back every 3-4 days to see if there are new side shoots to harvest.  Clip these in the same way you harvest the main head, ensuring you cut the stalks at an angle and leave a couple of inches of stalk at the bottom. You can get several harvests throughout the season by following this process, and side shoots will take longer to bolt/flower.  If your plant is flowering, you can still harvest it as the flowers are edible, and can be used in a variety of soup, salad or stir-fry recipes. Rinse and thoroughly dry the florets and store your refrigerator in a loosely sealed bag or container. Broccoli stored this way will keep for up to 5 days. If you plan to keep broccoli for longer, simply blanch and freeze it. Frozen broccoli can keep for up to a year. Once the side shoots stop growing, this is a sign the plant is no longer producing. Using your gloves, pull the entire plant out, including the roots. This will make room for future crops, and stop the broccoli plant from rotting in your soil. If you have a compost system, you can add the plant to your pile and it will create nutritious food for future crops.

TL;DR in English: Gather your garden gloves and pruners, or a knife. Use your knife or pruners to clip off the main stalk. Harvest the side shoots. Store your harvested broccoli. Pull out your broccoli plant after a week of no new growth.

Your model should come with a template to help guide you when installing mounting hardware. Place this on the wall, and the template should tell you where to place the hardware. Some models also come with a mounting bracket that will have pre-drilled holes so you can easily screw it in place. Use a level to make sure that the template is square and that the microwave will sit properly in place. If you didn’t reframe the installation site, you’ll need to attach the mounting hardware to at least one stud in the wall. Use an electronic stud finder, or gently tap on the wall with a hammer. When the taps sound dull instead of hollow, you have located a stud. Mark the site on the wall.  Studs are usually 16 inches (41 cm) inches apart on the wall. Once you find one, measure 16 inches to the either side to mark others. Using your template, make sure that the hardware will be mounted on at least one of the studs. If not, reframe the site or contact a contractor for help. Usually, over the range microwaves will be installed using toggle bolts. Predrilling holes for these bolts will make installation easier--just follow the guidelines on your template. If you are using a wall plate, go ahead and install that using the hardware and guidelines given in your model’s instructions. Most likely, you will need a couple of drill bits: smaller ones for the toggle bolts, and a larger one to make a hole to feed the microwave’s power cord through the cabinet above the appliance (if there isn’t already one). Check your model’s instructions, and always use the recommended tools. It will help to have another person to help you hold up the microwave. Push it up and bring it up to the bottom of the cabinet. If your model has a wall plate, fit it into the bracket that will help hold it in place. Make sure that someone keeps holding the microwave in place for now. Feed the microwave’s power cord through the hole drilled in the bottom of the cabinet above the appliance. Plug the cord into the outlet within the cabinet, but don’t turn the...

Sew the stocking onto the back of the fabric. Attach a ribbon or a thin piece of felt to hang your stocking. Sew the ribbon onto the corner on the inside of the back of the stocking.

Gather your materials. Cut a stocking pattern. Cut stocking shapes out of the fabric. Cut a rectangle of white felt. Sew the fabric together. Attach the white felt to the top of the stocking. Connect a ribbon to hang your stocking.

Remember that a mixed number includes a whole number combined with a proper fraction. The whole number represents how many complete wholes you have. The fraction represents how many parts of a whole you have. The denominator is an indication of how many parts a whole something can be broken into. By multiplying the whole number by the denominator, you can determine how many pieces exist among wholes. For example, if you need to convert 51416{\displaystyle 5{\frac {14}{16}}}, you would first calculate 5×16=80{\displaystyle 5\times 16=80}. These are all the extra pieces that do not make a whole. Make sure you add this number to the product of the whole number and the denominator. This number will become the new numerator of your improper fraction. For example, 80+14=94{\displaystyle 80+14=94}. So, the new numerator of your improper fraction is 94. You do not need to make any changes to the denominator to create your improper fraction. For example, since the original denominator of the proper fraction was 16, the denominator of your improper fraction is also 16. So, 51416=9416{\displaystyle 5{\frac {14}{16}}={\frac {94}{16}}}.

TL;DR in English: Multiply the whole number of the mixed number by the denominator. Add the original numerator. Place the new numerator over the original denominator.

To sew a homemade Christmas stocking you will need a few supplies from your local craft or fabric store. Gather all of the materials before beginning, and make sure you have a clear table to work on.  Large piece of paper ¼ to ⅓ of a yard of quilting fabric or felt for each stocking. Pick a design you like, plaids or stripes in Christmas colors look great. White felt for the top of the stocking. Scissors Pins Needle and thread, or sewing machine Draw a stocking shape onto a large piece of paper. You can freehand draw the stocking shape, or you can find a pattern online and print it out to trace. Use the stocking pattern to cut 2 stocking shapes out of the fabric you have. Make sure the two stocking shapes are exactly the same. It's best to use a pattern, but if you freehand draw your stocking shape, you need to trace it for the second stocking shape. Cut the rectangle the width of your stocking and 1 ½ inches tall. Use pinking shears to give the felt a textured edge. Line up the two stocking pieces together with the "right" side of the fabric touching each other. Sew the edges of the two stocking pieces together. When you finish sewing along the edges and the bottom of the stocking, flip the stocking so that the outside or "right" side of the fabric is out.  Make sure you do not sew the top of the fabric so that you can put things in the stocking. Use a thread color that matches the color of your fabric. Sew the white felt to the top of the fabric using white thread. Attach a ribbon or a thin piece of felt to hang your stocking. Sew the ribbon onto the corner on the inside of the back of the stocking.

Ear infections in beagles need immediate care. In addition to making your beagle feel even more miserable, an untreated an ear infection could lead to permanent hearing loss and cause illness in other parts of his body. Your vet will use an instrument called an otoscope to take a closer look inside your beagle’s ears. They will also take a sample of the debris and/or discharge in his ears and look at it under the microscope. If your beagle’s ears are really painful and sensitive, your beagle would need to be sedated for the exam.  Your vet will examine your beagle as a whole to identify other potential causes of the ear infection (e.g., diabetes, diseases of the immune system).  Food allergies can cause chronic ear infections in dogs. If your vet suspects a food allergy, then you would need to conduct a food elimination trial with your vet’s guidance. In general, treatment for ear infections involves cleaning and medicating the ears. The type of medication needed depends on the cause of the infection (e.g., antibiotics for a bacterial infection, antifungals for a yeast infection). Steroids are used to reduce inflammation.  If your beagle has a severe infection, he will need a veterinary ear cleaning. For the procedure, your vet would anesthetize your beagle, flush his ears out with warm water and put medication in the ears.  Underlying health conditions would need to be treated and/or managed along with the ear infection. If mites are causing the ear infection, your vet will prescribe a medication to kill the mites. Surgery is a ‘last resort’ option for chronic ear infections when there is so much scarring that the ear canal is nearly closed. A veterinary specialist would remove the entire ear canal. Although this procedure is expensive, it is very effective at preventing future ear infections. and treat your beagle’s ears as prescribed. Successful treatment of your beagle’s ear infection depends on you administering the medications exactly as prescribed. When you clean his ears, apply the prescribed number...

In order to bring up your Android's keyboard, you'll need to open an app or a document which has a text field in which you can type information. Find the place in which you want to type your symbol, then tap it.  For example, if you want to add your symbol to a text message, you would open your Android's Messages app, select a contact or conversation, and then tap the text field at the bottom of the screen. If you're editing a document, make sure the cursor is in the space in which you want to type the symbol. It's in the lower-left side of the screen. Doing so switches the keyboard to display symbols and numbers instead of letters. On a Samsung Keyboard, you'll tap !#1 here. Find the symbol you want to type in the keyboard. If you don't see the symbol you want to type, try long-pressing a symbol to see variations of it. For example, tapping and holding the question mark will prompt a menu with an upside-down question mark to appear. This will not work on the Samsung Keyboard. If you can't find the symbol you want to type, tap =\< in the lower-left side of the keyboard to open the second page of symbols. On the Samsung Keyboard, you'll instead tap 1/2 to open the second page. Tap the symbol you want to type to add it to the text box.

You might want to use a normal-sized flowerpot for one plant or you can even establish several cuttings in the same pot, planted apart from each other. Seedling tubes are also a good idea for many plants. Get a plastic (polythene) bag and place gravel at the base of the bag. The pot will be placed in here after you have made the cutting. Fill the pot with suitable soil - sand and peat for drainage make an ideal combination for many plants. Finally, the pot must be able to drain well (the water will go onto the gravel, rather than pooling in the plastic bag). Cut it off just below a leaf or joint (node). Once you have cut the plant piece, strip or cut off any leaves on the lower half. You can strip or cut off as high as two-thirds if necessary. If the bark looks like it will tear, use scissors.  You can also make a small incision to the lower end of the stem to encourage root growth from this "wound". Use a skewer, pencil, or similar long object to create a hole for the cutting to sit in. Do not use the cutting itself to push in a hole or you will damage it. The idea is to gently drop the cutting into the hole and carefully in-fill with dirt. Make sure the pot is sitting snugly on the gravel. This makes it easy to undo for watering and to place back on again.
