Choose one cane on either side of the trunk. The canes should be about as thick as your pinky finger and grow close to the head of the vine.  The "head" of the vine lies at the intersection between your main trunk and the top of your support system. The canes you choose should have close buds and a brown outer layer of bark from base to tip. Make sure that they have not suffered any visible damage, either. Note that this method of pruning is not recommended for American grape varieties. It is suitable for use with most wine grapes, but you should do some research about your particular grape variety before you choose to use this method of pruning. Bend the canes down to either side of your trunk and tie them in place. These canes will become permanent arms that will remain intact for the life of your vine. Cut off the top of both permanent fruiting arms, leaving only four buds on each arm. Cut off the remaining canes at trunk level, leaving only your two permanent arms in place. This is the last bit of pruning you will do during the second year. During each following year, new spurs will grow on your permanent fruiting arms, and fruit will be produced from these spurs. Trim each new spur back during the end of the dormancy season so that they are only two to three buds long. As the vine ages, you may need to cut back older spurs to two buds, as well.

TL;DR in English: Select two canes. Train these canes to the side of the trunk. Shorten your fruiting canes. Remove the rest of the old wood. Cut back new spurs each year.

Pull the plug out of the wall, and find the trigger lock just behind the trigger that you would use to release a staple. Shift the lock to the left or right, or press it toward the trigger to lock the trigger in place. Your gun may not have a trigger lock. In that case, be careful while you’re loading the staples. As long as the gun is unplugged, you should be safe. The magazine release is a button that releases clip that holds the staples in place. Look at the rear part of the stapler, toward the bottom. It should have 2 small indentations on either side of the stapler for you to squeeze and pull. If you don’t know where your magazine is located, find where the staples come out of the gun. The release button should be on the opposite side of the bottom of the gun where the staples are fired. Place your thumb and forefinger on either side of the release, and press in before pulling out. This will release the magazine from the gun, revealing a compartment underneath of the gun where you’ll place the staples. If you haven’t already, you will need to lay the stapler on its side or hold it upside-down to load the staples into the gun. Insert a row of staples into the compartment with the legs facing up toward you, and slide them toward the front of the stapler. Keep holding the gun upside down to keep them in place. If you’re using the staple gun to fire brad nails, look at the magazine rod. It should say something like “Load brads” with an arrow facing up or down. Lay a row of brad nails against the side if the compartment that the arrow is pointing toward. If your stapler doesn’t have an indication for how to load brad nails, it’s possible that the stapler isn’t able to fire them. Check the manual or search online to ensure that your stapler is compatible with brad nails. Hold the release button between your thumb and forefinger and push the magazine back into the compartment. The click notifies you that the magazine has clipped into place and that the staples won’t fall out. If you don’t hear a click, try...

TL;DR in English: Unplug the staple gun and lock the trigger before you begin loading it. Find the magazine release buttons at the back of the stapler. Squeeze the release buttons and pull the tray out. Place the staples upside-down in the magazine. Use the marking on the magazine release if you’re loading brad nails. Slide the magazine back into the chamber until you hear it snap into place.

Log the date at the top of the page so that you'll know when you wrote the entry. Consider giving your entry a title, like "Captain's Log," or addressing it with something like, "Dear Diary." Include where you are and how you are feeling: e.g. "8/12/2016: on the bus, feeling nervous." If you're going somewhere, include where you're going. You will probably read back over this diary at some point in the future – so give your future self a few points of reference to jog your memory. Don't think too much about what to say. Start by writing about your morning, or about whatever first comes to mind. Write about the most exciting thing that happened today. Write about your friends, or your classes, or your crush.

Write about what is making you happy. Write about what is making you sad. Write a story. The diary doesn't even have to be about you! Make up a character and write the first page of his or her diary. Pretend that you are writing this to a close friend, or to someone that you trust a lot. Your diary is your space to write about everything that you are thinking, good and bad. Don't worry too much about what you write. The important thing is that you start writing. In the first entry, when you mention people, write what relationship you have with them. Are they your best friend, worst enemy, or crush? This way, when you read back over your diary in years to come, you'll know what all of these people meant to you at this point in your life. Just write down whatever comes to mind, no matter how silly it sounds. Filling your diary isn't about making everything sound perfect. It's about getting out all of the words that are inside of you!  If you can't think of anything to write, then write about how weird it is to be writing about yourself. Write about why you can't think of anything. Write about why you want to keep...

Although you can technically play Mother May I with only three people, it will be more fun if you have more.  One benefit of Mother May I is that it’s a game that works for the whole family. Young children enjoy it, but grandparents have also been known to participate too! However, the game is generally recommended for children between the ages of 4 and 9. The game is popular with adults because it teaches children manners. Mother May I is a game of imagination. You need more than 2 people to play it, though. The game works best with fewer than 10 participants. ” One player needs to be given the mother designation, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a girl or boy.  The game is sometimes called “Captain May I” with the word mother replaced with the word captain at all times. If the “mother” is a male, you could use the word captain and call the children "crew members." Everyone else, no matter their actual age, receives the designation of the “children” in the game. It can be fun for actual children to get to play the mother and vice versa. As an alternative, you could use the name of the player designated as the person in charge for “mother.” The goal of the Mother May I game is for the children to reach the mother first on the other side of the room, lawn or field. Whichever child reaches the mother first wins the game and then, in turn, is designated as the mother, and the game starts all over again. Alternatively, stand on the opposite sides of a field or in the back or front yard.  The mother should be far enough away to make the game interesting but close enough that the children can hear the mother and vice versa. The mother should stand about 10–20 feet (3–6 m) away from the children.  The mother should stand facing away from the line of “children” and selects a child either at random or in order. Mother May I can be played either indoors or outdoors. The game is also a great way to get children interacting with each other and adults, and to get them moving around and outside.

TL;DR in English: Gather a group of people together. Designate someone as “mother. Stand on the opposite sides of the room.

Dressing up doesn’t get much easier than high-waisted chiffon palazzo pants and a silky tank. You can tuck the tank top in or leave it untucked, depending on the style of the tank.  If the tank is cut to fit a little boxy, it’s probably best to tuck it in, as this will emphasize your waist. If the tank is relatively short and is nipped in at the waist, it’s fine to leave it untucked. You can wear a short cardigan or jacket with this look if the weather is cool. Bustiers are strapless tops that are made to fit tight around your body, and they’re often cropped to show a little midriff. When you pair a bustier with flowy chiffon pants, you help soften the look, leaving you with an edgy style that’s still tasteful. Try this with cropped palazzo pants, stiletto heels, and a statement choker. A sheer button-down blouse and chiffon pants will create a breezy, romantic look that’s perfect for a date or a night out on the town with friends. The sheer fabric allows you to show off your figure underneath, and can create a  flattering silhouette. Be sure to wear a cami underneath the blouse! Slim-cut pants look great when they’re balanced by a flowy tank top. To make the outfit look dressier, top it with a fitted jacket or blazer. Finish this look with a pair of heels or ankle boots. If you’re attending a formal event, try wearing a single color from head to toe. This can be a neutral shade, like black or white, or you can opt for a bold color if that’s more your style.  For instance, if you’re attending a formal dinner, you might wear all black. If you want to wear chiffon pants as part of a wedding pantsuit, look for an embellished or lacy top that matches your pants. These can be traditional wedding colors, such as ivory or cream, or you can choose your favorite color. Since an outfit featuring chiffon pants tends to be somewhat minimal, it’s best to stick to simple, graphic jewelry. Big, solid pieces, like collar-style necklaces, statement earrings, and wide bracelets, tend to suit this style better than intricate...

If you're called upon to say grace at a family gathering or holiday meal, it can be an intimidating experience. But like a toast at a wedding or any public speech, there's no one "right" way to offer thanks, though there are several common denominational prayers for different faiths, discussed in the following method. The most important thing to remember in the moment is to speak from the heart, as sincerely and honestly as possible, and offer appreciation and thanks to whatever higher power you choose.  Example: Bless this food and the people who prepared it. Many thanks for the meal and the company. If you're saying grace for a holiday meal, a family gathering, or an informal dinner, you can temper your prayer to the occasion. Even saying thanks for the changing of seasons can be an appropriate call for grace.   Example: I'm blessed to be able to spend the holidays here with all of you. Let us appreciate this meal in fellowship and celebration.  Example: It's such a blessing to be able to come together and celebrate the life of Aunt Jan in this wonderful group of people. Many thanks for the meal and the fellowship.  Example: It's such a pleasure to spend a warm summer evening on the porch with all of you and this wonderful food. Let's all offer thanks for the bounty we've received. Depending on the group and the occasion, it can be appropriate to offer a brief moment of story to act as a blessing. When spend with close family or close friends, on a birthday or other personal holiday, this is a nice touch. It's also common to offer a quick personal blessing for each person present, if in a small group.   Example: I've always looked up to Aunt Jan as a personal inspiration and hero for her kind dedication to service and cheerful outlook on life. I'll always cherish the hours we spent together in her garden. I count myself blessed to have someone in my life as inspiring as her, and to be able to gather here today and celebrate her life with you all.  Example: What a blessing to come together today for this...

Do backbends and butterfly stretches, as well as basic leg and ankle stretches. Be careful and always stretch first! If you don't warm up, you could hurt your muscles or injure yourself.  To stretch hamstrings: Sit with your legs straight in front of you. Reach for and grab your toes. Keep your back straight. Hold for 30 seconds. To stretch the legs and arms: Sit with your legs out, one out to each side. Reach up toward the sky with your left hand. Lean over and reach for your right foot. Hold for 30 seconds. Then, repeat on the other side.  Aim for a 20 minute warm up session before moving into tumbling. Once you're nice and stretched out, do a couple of standing back handsprings to warm your muscles up even more. Then try a few double handsprings. Start with a basic round off, then do two back handsprings in a row. Only pause for about 1-2 seconds between the handsprings. These will fully stretch you out and prepare your muscles for the standing back tuck. If you can't do a back handspring yet, you're not ready to learn the back tuck. As you're stretching out, visualize yourself successfully doing a back tuck in your mind. Imagine yourself in the starting position, being in the air, and landing the tuck perfectly. If you're nervous or scared, imagining yourself doing the back tuck can help ease your fears. The best spotter is usually a trainer, coach, or experienced gymnast. Their job is to help you get into position, hold you while you're in the air, and keep your posture correct while you try your first back tuck. With a spotter, you don't have to be afraid of falling -- they're there to catch you! Not only can they help you jump higher into the air, but they can also give you great advice on anything you may be doing wrong. Mats act as cushioning between you and the hard floor. If you do fall, you'll be much safer. They're also a great psychological motivator. If you're not worried about falling down, you'll jump higher and have better posture.   For beginners: try folding a mat up and standing on top of...

Before you do anything else, you'll need to have a clear idea what the size of your staircase is. The includes the length, width and height of each stair, as well as the number of stairs itself. In most cases, the number of steps is the most important trait to know and the easiest to figure out, as it will let you know how many sets of tackless strips and pads you'll need for your carpet.  The standard stair is 30 inches wide. If your stairs follow the standard dimensions, it will be much easier to measure and lay your carpet, as carpet runners designed for the standard dimensions will be easy to find. Assuming you have standard-sized stairs, and allowing for 3 inches on either side to display the wood, you need 24 inches for each stair step and riser. Rise (height) and runs (width) can vary in size, so be sure to measure closely. Before moving into the practical stage of setting the carpet, you should go out and consult with a sale associate who specializes in carpets. Talk to him about your project, specifically the size and scope, and the general expectation you might have for an end result. Chances are this associate will be able to lend you some specific and helpful advice, as well as point you in the direction of some carpet types that might suit your goals.  Consider taking pictures of your stairs as they are to give the sales associate a kind of visual references to keep in mind while he helps you. If you are trying to calculate the amount of carpet material you'll need from the sales associate, remember to keep the stair's nose (or rounded front-section) in mind, giving a couple more inches than you would otherwise to compensate for it. At the end of the day, laying a carpet runner along your stairs adds comfort and purpose, so it's good to keep your creative side in mind while making your stair decisions. Choosing to carpet just the step and not the riser, as well as different widths (leaving wood visible on either side, for example), colors, and textures will yield different results for your stairs...

TL;DR in English: Measure your staircase. Meet with a carpet sales professional. Consider the aesthetic design of your planned staircase. Purchase the necessary supplies.

The time signature looks like a fraction and is noted at the beginning of a piece of music. The top number tells you how many beats there will be every measure, and the bottom number tells you what kind of notes those beats will be in this song. For instance, if 3 is on top and 1 is on the bottom, there will be 3 whole note beats per measure. If 5 is on top and 2 is on the bottom, there will be 5 half note beats per measure. If 6 is on top and 8 is on the bottom, there will be 6 eighth-note beats per measure. The most common time signature (sometimes just written with the letter C meaning “common time”) is 4 on top and 4 on the bottom, which means there are 4 quarter-note beats per measure. . At the beginning of the sheet music, next to the clef sign, sharp ♯ and flat♭signs make up the "key signature." These tricks will help you memorize what each key signature looks like:  If there are no sharps or flats next to the clef, the scale is C major or A minor, so C or A will be Do for this song, respectively. The rightmost sharp in the key signature is Ti on the solfege scale. Go up one half step (a space or line) and you'll get the root note which the scale is named for, and which you can think of as Do. Alternatively, use this mnemonic to identify the scale by how many sharps there are (starting at one sharp): Green Day And Elvis Buy Four Cats The rightmost flat in the key signature is Fa, and the flat to its left is the root note Do. Identify the scale by the number of flats there are (starting at one flat): Fat Boys Eat Apples During Geometry Class Unless you have perfect pitch, you'll need to listen to the root tone. This is always the note in the name of the key signature, so when you're singing a song written in A, you'll want to listen to an A. You can use a piano, a metronome with a pitch function, a tuning fork, or pitch software on a phone app or website. Using the root note as Do, sing the solfege scale up and down once or twice to get a feel for the notes you'll be singing. Remember to use the minor...

A stock exchange is a market where you can buy and sell stocks. There are multiple exchanges both in the US and around the world. When studying the stock market, you should make sure that you are aware of the trends in each exchange. While some companies trade among various exchanges, others may only trade on one.  The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is the largest exchange in the world. Stocks on the NYSE are generally considered to be more stable and less risky. Large industrial firms tend to trade more on NYSE. NASDAQ is the second largest. It is traded electronically. Companies on NASDAQ tend to be more volatile but also have more growth potential. Technology companies tend to trade more on NASDAQ than NYSE. The London Stock Exchange (LSE) is the main hub for the UK market. It is also traded electronically. The Toronto Stock Exchange is the main Canadian exchange while the Australian Securities Exchange is the main Australian one. These are much smaller than the American and British exchanges. You may also want to pay attention to other international exchanges, such as the Tokyo Stock Exchange or EuroNext. Stock indexes are companies that compile all of the changes in individual stock exchanges. This data is put into graphs that show whether the market rose, fell, or stayed stable that day. Stock indexes are a great way to see how well general markets are doing at a specific time. These indexes are all available online.  The 2 most important indexes in the United States are the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and the Standard and Poor’s 500 (S&P 500). Most financial websites will contain these 2 indexes. Some stock indexes are focused on particular regions. The Nikkei 225, for example, represents the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Others, such as the S&P Global 100, compare multiple regions. Stock indexes represent how well the market is doing in real time. For example, the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE), which represents the LSE, is updated every 15 seconds.

This is the surest way to identify a dead hermit crab. If your hermit crab dies, it will begin to decompose – and its carcass will begin to smell putrid. If you can't smell anything, pick the crab out of the tank to get a closer whiff. If you smell a salty, rotten scent, there's a good chance that your crab has passed away. Hermit crabs periodically shed their exoskeleton, and this process often involves losing body parts. The crabs are immobile for a short time while it regains muscle control and its new exoskeleton hardens up. If you disturb your crab while it is molting, you may seriously endanger it – so be patient. Assume molting before death. This can be a sign that the crab is dead, or it can just be a by-product of the molting process. If you find what appear to be a dead crab next to a shell, have a closer look to see if it is just an exoskeleton. If is it hollow and crumbles easily, it is an old exoskeleton. Look inside the nearby shell, and you might find a freshly-molted crab hiding out. If the immobile crab is obviously not an exoskeleton, try picking it up to see if it moves. If it does not react, it's probably dead. If you can't figure out whether your crab is dead, move it to a new location and note exactly how it is positioned. Try placing food on the other side of the tank to give the crab a motivation to move. Leave the tank, then come back to check within the next few hours. If the crab moved while you were gone, then you know it's alive. If not, it may be sleeping or molting. It is perfectly natural for hermit crabs to bury themselves; this can indicate that the crab is molting, or just that it feels threatened. Smooth the sand around his hiding spot, then look for tracks to get an idea if he is coming up at night for food. If it has been weeks since your crab buried itself, you can carefully sweep off a bit of sand from around his hiding spot to check for a rotting smell.

TL;DR in English: Sniff around for a fishy, rotten smell. Assume that your crab is molting. Notice when a crab is laying outside its shell without any signs of transitioning. Move the crab and observe the results. Keep an eye on a buried crab.

For smaller roots, like those that are less than an inch (2.54 cm) in diameter, you can use regular gardening shears or gardening scissors to cut the root. If you are cutting a larger root, you'll need to use a special tool -- a root saw or a mechanical reciprocating saw. You can purchase these saws at home and gardening stores or online. Some store locations will allow you to rent reciprocating saws for a daily rate. Grab the loose end of the root and pull it towards you until it tears free from the ground. If the root is embedded deeply into the ground, you may need to dig up more soil around the root. Once you're done, discard the root, and continue doing this to the other roots that you're cutting. To keep the root from growing back, put in a barrier under the soil before you fill in the hole. Use a heavy duty plastic tree root barrier, and install it 30-inches (76 centimeters) below the surface of the soil. You can purchase a plastic tree root barrier at most lawn and garden centers. Fill the hole you've made with mulch or fertilizer purchased from the store. As an alternative to mulch, you can also fill your trench with grass seeds or sod if you want grass in the area. Take your cut tree's roots and dispose of them. Take a look at your tree on a daily basis and evaluate its health. If branches are starting to die and fall off, it could be a sign that you've done too much root damage and have killed your tree. This is dangerous because it could cause the tree to fall. If this is the case, you'll have to remove the entire tree. If you notice that the tree is dying, it's best to call an arborist or landscaping company as soon as possible. They will be able to evaluate whether you need to remove the tree and the steps you can take next.

Coming out is hard enough, so avoid giving your parents your letter during an argument or during a period of crisis. Try not to use coming out as a weapon or way to shock them, and avoid using alcohol or drugs before giving them the letter or discussing it with them. For example, if a relative is sick or your sibling just got in major trouble, you might want to wait until things settle down before giving them your letter. If you're sending them an email, you could attach links to online resources that can inform them and help them process the news. You could also print out information and include it with your printed or handwritten letter.  Parents are often afraid that their LGBTQ children will face prejudice, violence, contract diseases, or never live a happy life. Providing them with information can ease their fears and help them understand that you'll be happier if you can be open and honest about yourself. You can find plenty of excellent websites online. Check out University of Southern California's resources for parents and family. PFLAG (formerly known as Parents, Family, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) also offers lots of helpful information. Give them your letter in person, mail it, or send your email, then let them digest the news on their own terms. Be patient, and understand that they might need a little while to process and, hopefully, accept what you've written. When you give them the letter, tell them, “I hope you can read this with an open mind, and I hope we can handle what I've written about patiently and honestly. Please take all the time you need to process it.” You and your parents might find that exchanging a few letters is the best way to handle the situation. Eventually, try to have a face to face conversation with them. Once you've broken the ice in writing, you might find it easier to talk to them in person. If your parent lives far away, talk to them on the phone. The next time you see them, have a face to face conversation.

TL;DR in English: Choose a stress-free time to give them your letter. Provide them with educational resources. Give them time and space to process your letter. Try to follow up with a conversation.

If you haven't already sought help for your depression, it's vital that you do so and don't try to go through this alone. There are many common symptoms associated with depression. If you identify with one or more of those listed below, seek advice from your doctor. Signs of depression include:  An inability to function normally in everyday life. Feelings of loneliness and losing relationships with friends. Inability to enjoy activities you once loved, such as reading, playing video games, drawing, etc. Lethargy, fatigue, and the feeling that doing things takes a lot of your energy. Persistent sadness, including fits of crying either uncontrollably or being set off easily, feelings of anxiety or emptiness. Feeling blue, sad, and down consistently over a period of at least two weeks. Feelings of worthlessness, self-blame and a lack of self esteem. Sleeping a large more or less than usual, or experiencing insomnia. Unusual weight gain or loss, overeating, or appetite loss. Finding thinking or concentrating difficult, "foggy" thinking, inability to make clear decisions or forgetfulness.  Pessimism, or feeling a sense that life is hopeless, pointless and futile. This may even lead to a feeling of numbness. Body pains, cramps, digestive problems, headaches, and other aches that don't go away with medication or treatment. These may appear "for no reason".  Being irritable or restless a great deal of the time.  Suicidal thoughts, thoughts about dying, or attempts at suicide. Some depression results from, or is a side effect of, medical conditions or treatment for other medical conditions. In some cases, medical conditions can mimic depression. It's important for your doctor to identify any physical causes for depression that require specific treatments or to eliminate other reasons for your condition. Common medical conditions that might trigger depression include:   Vitamin or mineral deficiencies, especially for people on restrictive diets. B vitamins are associated with depression, although it's unclear whether...

TL;DR in English: Look for the signs of depression. Have your doctor explore possible medical causes behind your depression. Research depression to get a full understanding. Try talk therapy. Consider taking prescription medication. Try alternative therapies or remedies.

You might want to ask the seller or salesperson questions like, “Does this car have any issues you know about?”  If you’re dealing with a private seller, you might ask, “Why are you selling the car?”  The answers may help you learn more about the car and what you can expect if you buy it. Sites like Carfax and AutoCheck are useful for searching vehicle history reports.  Just enter the vehicle identification number to find information regarding a specific car.  This information can help you piece together a more comprehensive picture of the car’s history, including who the previous owners were and whether the vehicle has any liens against it. Check the car’s odometer, too.  Vehicle history reports should show an odometer reading that is less than its current reading. There are a number of elements that you should check before buying a used car with cash.  For instance, pop the hood and look for leaky or oil-splattered engine parts.  Check the tires.  If they’re bald, express your concern and ask the seller if they would consider fitting the car with new tires before you purchase it. If the seller disallows such an inspection, it is likely because the car has some hidden problem.  If your independent mechanic finds a problem with the vehicle, bring it to the attention of the seller.  If they say they didn’t know about it (and if the issue is not a deal breaker for you), use the issue in your negotiations later to obtain a lower price for the vehicle. If the car is a certified pre-owned vehicle, it has already been inspected and has a warranty, so there is no reason to take it to a mechanic. Giving the used car a test drive is the best way to determine if it really is the car for you.  During your test drive, evaluate the car’s performance.  Ensure that the seats are comfortable and easily adjustable. Test the heat, air conditioning, headlights, and blinkers. Determine the ease of driving.  The brakes and steering wheel should be responsive. Look for warning lights on the dash panel. Check for blind spots by...

Certain breeds have a higher risk of congenital deafness (being born deaf) than other breeds. These includes Dalmatians, Australian cattle dogs, Cocker spaniels, English setters, Beagles, Border terriers, Boston terriers, English bulldogs, poodles, Papillons, Pointers, Rhodesian ridgebacks, and Shetland sheepdogs. Keep in mind that regardless of breed, all puppies are deaf until around 10-14 days of age. After this point, their ear canals open up and they should have full hearing. He may not be able to hear their squeals that will indicate to him that he is being too rough. If your puppy is deaf, he may also be the last in the litter to feed because he will not hear the food bowls being put down. While his litter mates may quickly respond to the rustle of the food bag, a deaf puppy will likely be oblivious to the sound or stay asleep. In general, deaf puppies are harder to train because they don't hear your commands. But, you need to distinguish between downright disobedience and deafness in your pup by using visual commands. For example, if during play your puppy bites too hard - instead of squealing or yelling, try blowing hard on his face while at the same time holding up a hand in the "stop" position. If the puppy is obedient, but deaf, he will quickly learn that a palm facing towards him means an unpleasant puff on his face, and ease off on the biting. A deaf puppy's ears aren't as mobile as a hearing dog’s. Whereas a hearing dog moves his ears to localize a sound, making them prick up or twitch to one side, a deaf puppy does not do this. As part of the ageing process, dogs can lose their hearing and go deaf.  Your dog may be going deaf if he does not wake up like he usually does when you get home from work, or if he is no longer afraid of loud sounds like the vacuum cleaner, thunderstorms, or fireworks. An older dog going deaf also may not as obedient as he once was, failing to come when called, or not responding to commands when he cannot see you or understand you by looking, rather than hearing. A dog...

Stand straight with your feet shoulder width apart. Step forward with one foot, stepping one foot a normal walking step ahead of the other. Instead of lowering your foot all the way down to the ground, touch just your heel to the ground with your toes flexed toward the ceiling. Gently lower your toes toward the ground, but don't touch the sole of your foot to the ground. Raise your toes back up and return to your beginning stance. Do 10–15 reps on this side. Next, switch legs and repeat on the other side. Do 10–15 reps on that side as well. Grab a towel or exercise band. Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you. Wrap the exercise band or towel around the arch of the foot on the leg that is straight out. Using the towel or band, pull your foot toward you. Hold for 10–15 seconds. Repeat two to three times on each foot. This can also be used to alleviate shin splints. Sit on the floor near a table or stationary object. Using a resistance band, wrap the band around the stable surface, such as a table leg. Loop the other side of the resistance band around the top of one of your feet. Once it is looped, pull your foot toward your knee, pulling against the resistance band. Hold for 10–15 seconds. Do 10–15 reps on one leg. Change feet and repeat the reps. Do three sets in all.  This exercise strengthens your lower leg and helps reduce the recurrence of shin splints. You can increase your strength by using heavier resistance bands or increasing to 20-30 reps. Stand with your heel together and toes pointed out. Slowly raise up onto your toes. After a few seconds, slowly lower yourself back down. Repeat 10–15 times. This exercise strengthens your calf muscles and helps promote balance. You can perform another kind of calf raise to strengthen a different set of calf muscles. Start with your big toes touching and your heels far apart. Slowly raise up onto your toes as high as you can go. After a few seconds, lower yourself back down. Repeat 10–15 times. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Start...

You need to know exactly what you want to happen when you have the conversation. Do you want to go to a dance? Do you want a later curfew? Do you want to go out to a special dinner with your parents? Think about what you want from the conversation. It can even help to write it down. Make sure you have all the important details. Having details will help you answer questions. Answering questions will calm your parents down. For instance, if you want to spend the night at friend's house, you'll need to know if her parents will be there, when the night will start, what you'll need to bring, and when your parents can pick you up. It also might help to have a phone number for your friend's parents. That way, your parents can call her parents. You don't want to talk when your parents are busy. Pick a time when they have a moment to sit down with you. It should be a time when you can have their full attention. If you can't figure out a time, ask your parents when a good time would be. If you keep trying to draw it out, you're just going to get more nervous. As soon as you get your parents together, just begin what you have to say.  For instance, you could start by saying, "I have something I want to discuss with you, and I hope you will keep an open mind. I'd like to go to the dance this Saturday night." If you absolutely can't get it out right away, it's okay to start the conversation with something else, as long as you get to the point eventually. A good way to convince someone to do something is to tell the person what good it will do them.Think about how your parents will benefit from what you are doing, and bring that up.  As an example, if you're trying to get your parents to let you go out for a night, you could say, "As an added bonus, you'd get the house all to yourself!" Another example is if you're trying to get your parents to eat out somewhere, mention their favorite dishes. If you try to lie or give a half truth, your parents may not trust you in the future if they find out. Plus, they know you pretty...

TL;DR in English: Decide what you want your parents to do. Write down what you want to say. Pick a good time and place. Begin talking. Let them know what's in it for them. Speak the truth. Talk about yourself. Back up what you say. Hear your parents out. Be civil.

If you think that your school needs improvement, you can start by talking to its administrators (a principal or headmaster, for example). You might also attend local school board meetings to voice your opinion. Getting administrative support is important not only because many projects will need official approval, but also because it is a way of communicating your concerns. Don’t be shy about asking to meet with your school administrators. If you are serious about improving your school and have some ideas, most will be happy to hear from you. Schools aren’t just places for students to learn—they are also an important cornerstone of any community. Families also care about schools and will want to be involved with any improvements that need to be made. Parents can get together at a Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) meeting, school board meeting, booster club event, or other opportunity and consider ways of helping to improve your school. While some people may not think that social media have educational value, social networks can be a powerful tool for organizing people. Make sure that your school is active on all major social media services. If it isn’t, talk to your school administrators about getting started. Anytime your school has an improvement campaign or project going on, advertise it widely using these services to boost involvement. Many school improvements will need a lot of support. However, this doesn’t mean that everyone has to contribute in the same way. When raising support to improve your school, make sure that people understand there is room for everyone to help. For example:  Some might be great at organizing people, while others will have talents in writing or design. Some will be able to devote time during school hours only, while others will have more time after school hours or on weekends. Some might be able to get involved on the school grounds itself, while others might be great at gathering support for your school within the surrounding community (by fundraising, for example).

In places where TB is more common, infants are often vaccinated with the bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine against TB. The vaccine is not routinely given in the US, but if you expect to be at a higher risk, then ask your doctor if it is likely to be useful for you. You may be at a higher risk if:  You will be living and working in a country where TB is more common. You have a lowered immune system making you more vulnerable to contracting TB if you are exposed. People who have a higher risk are those who have HIV/AIDS, who are taking immune suppressing medications, or are receiving chemotherapy. TB is spread through droplets, so if you wear a respirator it lessens your chances of infection if you live with someone who has recently been diagnosed. You cannot wear just any surgical or medical mask, however. You must wear a specific respirator mask (such as N95 disposable respirators) to protect yourself from TB.  The person with TB should also wear a respirator. Keep the respirator on for the first three weeks of treatment. In addition, the infected person should:  Open windows to ventilate the room she is in. Sleep in a separate room to reduce the amount of time you spend breathing the same air. Stay home from work or school. The treatment requires a long course of medications, but it is important that they be completed without skipping any doses. This protects both the infected person and those around him, because:  It reduces the likelihood of the bacteria developing resistance to the medications. Drug resistant strains are much more difficult to eradicate if they spread to others.

TL;DR in English: Discuss the vaccine with your doctor. Wear a respirator around a family member with TB. Help a loved one with TB finish the entire course of treatment.

When it comes to illustrating, you need to keep the dimensions of your pages in mind to make the most of it. This includes leaving enough space for the text, and making your drawings big enough that they occupy an acceptable amount of space on the page. To get a better grasp of this, it's a good idea to make miniature 'storyboards' to visualize how big certain objects on the page should be when compared to others. Doing a double-page illustration (where one panel of the story encompasses two pages to make a larger image) is an ambitious move if this is your first time making a picture book, but it's perfect for climactic parts of the story that somehow warrant more than a single frame. Before you even set them to paper in a serious way, you should have a very clear idea how you want your art to occupy space on the page. Having a notebook on the side to plan out and develop your ideas freehand is far preferred over jumping into the picture book impromptu. While you're planning out the illustrations, try to make them as close and applicable to the writing as possible. Whenever you're left in doubt, refer to what you've written in the story. Try to keep a consistent tone and style throughout the book. A picture book that goes all over the place will stand a much weaker chance of making an impression than one that drives the same point consistently. The vast majority of stories center around the exploits of characters. For most traditional narratives, you'll need to get really good at drawing (and redrawing) a handful of characters. It is recommended you spend some time practicing your character designs once you have a basic framework for your story. The more you draw the character, the more chances you'll have to get the look right and change things if need be. Visual design is incredibly important for characters in picture books. If you have trouble visualizing what your story's characters look like, try meditating and letting the story play out in your head. Failing that, studying the character design in other...

This will allow at the salt and sugar to become evenly distributed throughout the flour. If you do not have a food processor, then put everything into a bowl and stir it briskly with a fork. You can also use plain flour instead of all-purpose flour. Start with ¾ cup (180 milliliters) of water; you will be adding the rest later, depending on how dry the dough is. Most food processors should have a spout at the top where you can pour ingredients through without taking the lid off. After a while, the dough should start to come away from the sides of the food processor. If the dough is still too dry and has floury clumps in it, add the rest of the water, one tablespoon at a time. Do this until the dough clumps together and comes away from the walls of the food processor.  If you do not have a food processor, make a hole in the middle of your flour mixture, and pour the lemon juice and water in. Stir it with a fork until the dough clumps together. The lemon juice will help make the dough more elastic and easier to roll out. You won't taste it once you bake the pastry. The square should measure 6 inches (15.24 centimeters) on each side. Do not make the square too thin. This will make the dough easier to work with later. During this time, you can start preparing the butter. Make sure that the butter sticks are touching each other and that the flour is spread evenly across them. Keep doing this until the flour becomes ingrained in the butter. Once you are done mashing, remove the top parchment sheet. The square should measure 8 inches (20.30 centimeters) on each side. Leave it there for one hour. This will allow the butter to cool back down and become more manageable later. You want to end up with a square that it is about 11 inches (27.94 centimeters) on each side. Unwrap the butter and position it so that the corners are touching the flat sides of the dough square. Then, lift the corners of the dough and fold them towards the middle of the butter, creating a square-shaped packet. Do not make it too thin, and make...

TL;DR in English: Mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor for a few seconds. Add the lemon juice and part of the water into the food processor while it is still running. Transfer the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat it into a square. Wrap the dough up and put it in the refrigerator for one hour. Put unwrapped butter sticks on a sheet of parchment paper and cover them with 2 tablespoons of flour. Cover the flour and butter with another sheet of parchment paper and mash it with a rolling pin. Roll the butter out into a square. Wrap the butter with plastic wrap and put it into the refrigerator. Unwrap the dough and roll it out on a lightly-floured surface. Set the butter in the middle of the and wrap the dough around it. Roll the packet out into a rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds. Turn the dough packet to one side by 90 degrees. Repeat the rolling and folding one more time. Wrap the packet with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator. Roll and fold the dough into thirds four more times, chilling it in between. Put the dough into the refrigerator for one hour before baking with it.

When cleaning an acrylic bathtub, stay away from harsh astringent powders such as Comet and Ajax, as well as harsh chemicals like bleach. Acrylic is a soft material and is therefore easily damaged. These types of products are almost guaranteed to ruin your tub's finish. It's generally a good idea to start with the gentlest cleaning solution available to you and work your way up to more powerful options if that doesn't work. Distilled white vinegar makes an excellent natural cleaning solution, especially on smooth surfaces like acrylic that release stains easily. Fill a spray bottle with vinegar and keep it on hand for routine bathroom cleaning tasks. Apply the vinegar liberally to completely cover the affected area. Lemon juice makes a fine alternative to vinegar if you happen to have some in the refrigerator. As it sits, the acidity in the vinegar will break down mold, grime and discoloration so that they can wiped away with ease. You may even see stains begin to dissolve and run off on their own, before you even begin scrubbing.  Make sure you give the vinegar ample time to begin working. For especially troublesome spots, sprinkle a little baking soda onto the vinegar as it soaks. The yellow side of a normal dish sponge will do the trick. After being soaked with vinegar, dirt and grime should simply lift off with little difficulty. Use a quick back and forth scrubbing motion, and continue treating the stains until they vanish. You can also use specialty scrubbing tools, like the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, which are made from porous melamine foam for added stain-fighting power. Run the faucet for a few minutes to wash away every last trace of dissolved grime and dirty vinegar solution. If you’re cleaning a bathtub with an adjustable shower head, turn it on and direct the stream over the areas you just treated. Once it’s clean, the tub will need to dry so that stain-causing bacteria doesn’t return.  Most bathtub stains are the result of germs that create a filmy residue as they accumulate.

You can try yoga, listen to calming music, meditate, exercise, or talk to friends to reduce daily stress. Stress can damage your heart function and increase the inflammatory response in your body. It can also affect behaviors that impact your arteries and heart function. For example, many people turn to alcohol, smoking, overeating, and don't have much time for rest or exercise when stressed. This leads to high blood pressure, arterial wall damage and obesity that can all damage your heart function. Try a variety of stress-reducing techniques until you find one that relaxes you. You might also try deep-breathing exercises, massage, hypnosis, or tai chi. . Talk with your doctor about a smoking cessation program that will work with your lifestyle. Or, at least try to reduce smoking, since it contains thousands of chemicals that can seriously damage your heart. Smoking reduces heart function by increasing blood pressure, reducing exercise tolerance and increasing the likelihood that the blood will clot. Nicotine, the addictive compound in cigarettes, is known to increase heart rate and blood pressure. You should also take care to avoid secondhand smoke, which can also damage your heart. Stay in open outdoor areas, upwind from friends and relatives who like to smoke. Laughing can also reduce stress, which improves heart function. Researchers found that the old saying “laughter is the best medicine” holds some truth. They found that people with heart disease were 40 percent less likely to laugh compared to other people of the same age without heart disease. Make it a point to find the things in life that give you joy and make you laugh every day. You might try:  Watching a funny movie or television show Reading comedy books Laughing about the funny things your pet does Spending time around people that make you laugh Sleeping less than six hours a night or more than nine can increase your risk of heart disease and death. But, sleeping seven to nine hours each night leaves you feeling rested and refreshed. More...

Before you jump right into your plan for an animal shelter, you should consider how your shelter will differ from the other shelters in your area. If there is already an animal shelter that focuses on small dogs, for example, you may not want to also base your shelter around housing small dogs.  Think about a need in the community or in the animal adoption market that your animal shelter could fill. This could be older or elderly dogs who do not often get adopted or maimed animals that are not often accepted into larger animal shelters. This will also ensure that you are not competing with other animal shelters in your area and give your animal shelter a clear focus. Though the animal shelter is made for the wellbeing of animals, it is also a business. You should treat it as a business that needs to be sustainable and appealing. Get your finances for the shelter in order by sitting down and drawing up a budget. The budget should cover all start up costs, all outgoing expenses, and all incoming funds. Your budget should cover:  Costs for the shelter structure: This should include rent payments or building maintenance payments. You may also need to cover heating, water, and electricity expenses. Shelter supplies: This should include any equipment needed to make the shelter functional for animals, food for the animals, cleaning materials, and waste disposal. Animal care supplies: This should include the costs for routine vet treatment, neutering services, microchipping, and animal toys. You may also need to insure your vehicle as a shelter vehicle to transport animals to and from the shelter. Some animal shelter owners will treat the animal shelter as a part time job and will supplement the start up costs with their full time income at another job. This option is useful if you live in a household where two people both have stable, full time jobs and can donate a portion of their income to the shelter. Talk to your local chapter of The Humane Society and other national animal welfare associations to get a sense...

Mouth and tongue injuries occur often in children, who will need to be reassured.  Cutting the tongue can be a painful and frightening experience, so help whoever is injured to relax.  Keeping both yourself and the injured calm will help as you treat the injury. Before touching or helping anyone with a cut, you should wash your hands to reduce the chances of infection.  You may also want to use medical gloves when aiding the victim, as blood can carry diseases. By sitting up straight and tipping the mouth and head forward, blood can flow out of the mouth, rather than down the throat.  Swallowing blood can cause vomiting, and sitting up with the head tilted forward will help prevent this. A cut to the tongue will likely produce a lot of bleeding; however, it is the depth and size of the injury you will examine.  If the cut itself is shallow, you can proceed with home treatment.  If the wound is deep or longer than ½ an inch, your should seek medical attention. If something has punctured your tongue, it may require professional care. If you suspect foreign material has become lodged in the wound, you need to see a doctor. Use gauze or a clean cloth to apply steady pressure to the injury for about fifteen minutes.  This will help stop the flow of blood.  If you notice blood has soaked through the cloth or gauze, apply more, without removing the original piece. Wrap an ice cube in a clean, thin, cloth.  This will be held against the wounded area to reduce blood flow and prevent pain and swelling.  Hold the ice bundle directly on the wound for no more than three minutes at a time. This can be done up to ten times a day. You may also simply suck on an ice cube or hold one in your mouth.  To make the application of ice more enjoyable, you can try using a popsicle. Apply ice only on the first day of the injury. Make sure both your hands and the cloth are clean. The day after the injury is sustained, you should begin rinsing your mouth with a warm salt water solution.  This can be done up to six times a day. Rinsing...

TL;DR in English: Calm the injured person down. Clean and protect your hands. Help the victim to sit up. Assess the cut. Apply pressure. Prepare ice for the injury. Rinse your mouth. Continue normal dental care. Monitor your injury. Change what you eat. Wait for the wound to heal.

Chlorine bleach is an effective cleaning agent that kills norovirus.  Increase the concentration or buy a new bottle of chlorine bleach if the bleach you have has been open for more than a month. Bleach becomes less effective the longer it remains open. Before applying bleach to a visible surface, test it somewhere that is not easily seen to make sure that it won’t damage the surface. If the surface is damaged by bleach, you can also use phenolic solutions, such as Pine-Sol, to clean the surface. There are certain concentrations of chlorine bleach you can use for different surfaces.  For stainless steel surfaces and items used for food consumption: Dissolve one tablespoon of bleach in a gallon of water and clean the stainless steel. For non-porous surfaces like countertops, sinks, or tile floors: Dissolve one third of a cup of bleach in a gallon of water. For porous surfaces, like wooden floors: Dissolve one and two thirds of a cup of bleach in a gallon of water. After cleaning the surfaces, leave the solution to work for 10 to 20 minutes. After the time period elapses, rinse the surface with clean water. After these two steps, close off the area, and leave it like that for one hour. Leave the windows open, if possible, as breathing in bleach can be hazardous to your health. For areas exposed to feces or vomit contamination there are special cleaning procedures that you should try to follow. This is because the vomit or feces of a person contaminated with norovirus can easily cause you to become infected. To clean the vomit or feces:  Put disposable gloves on. Consider wearing a facemask that covers your mouth and nose as well. Using paper towels, gently clean the vomit and feces. Be careful not to splash or drip while cleaning. Use disposable cloths to clean and disinfect the entire area with chlorine bleach. Use sealed plastic bags to dispose of all the waste materials. If the feces or vomit gets on a carpeted area, there are other steps you can take to make sure that the area is clean and disinfected. To...

Pick the right kind of leash. Avoid using punishment-based training techniques. Tackle the excitement associated with wearing a leash.

Your sense of humor is particular to the way your mind works, and has a lot to do with how you were socialized.  The next time you find something funny, think it over. What is funny about it? Was it surprising? Familiar? Exaggerated? Write down all the elements if you can. What elements could be altered or removed for the humor to be lost?  For example, you might laugh at a video of someone falling while trying to impress someone. You would probably still laugh if they fell and weren't trying to impress someone, but you would laugh less. If they fell and were badly hurt, you probably wouldn't laugh at all. Determine whether or not you share a sense of humor with anyone you know. Does only your sister know how to make you laugh? Ask her what makes her laugh. Your sense of humor is likely to skew toward your other abilities. Are you a mathematical thinker? You might find wordplay funny. Are you a big-picture thinker? You might have a strong sense of irony. Think about your strengths and how they connect to the things that amuse you. The next time you don't get a joke, don't despair. Think it through. Did you not understand that it was meant to be a joke? Did you think it was a serious statement, or did you think it was a mistake? Most jokes depend on social context to be understood. Study your friends and colleagues when they find something funny. What do they react to?  If you understand that something is a joke, but you are offended, ask yourself what bad feelings the joke brought up. It is often harder to take humor that is about our weaknesses and wounds. Check to see if you are missing social context. Ask a friend to explain their joke if you don't understand it. You might find the joke funny once you understand why your friend does. Watch different comedies and videos of stand-up comedians to learn the kinds of humor that appeal to you. If videos do not ever make you laugh, try listening to recording of a comedian, and reading humorous novels and comics. You might find you respond more to written words...

TL;DR in English: Figure out what you find funny. Figure out what you don't find funny. Explore comedy.

Never strike or yell at a puppy if she disobeys you. Bernese Mountain Dog tend to be very mild tempered and obedient but they, like all dogs, will take some time to train. Hitting it will only make the puppy fear you and confuse her — never strike your dog. If you in the middle of a training session and she doesn't fully understand, do not become impatient and scold her. After all, the puppy or dog is only learning.  If you find that you are losing your patience, step away from the dog and try again later. Bernese Mountain Dogs are extremely affectionate and want to please — scolding or punishing may have an extremely detrimental affect on your Bernese. Focus on positive reinforcement instead of punishment. This could be with a tiny tasty treat or just praise as the dog develops. If the dog knows he gets a treat for good behavior, and bad behavior is ignored, then he is likely to reproduce good behavior it was rewarded for.  When you catch your dog or puppy chewing or destroying something he shouldn’t, remove either the dog or the object from the dog and distract him with something it can “destroy” or chew on, like a toy. Then praise him for chewing on the right thing — the toy. Keep a bag of treats in a Ziploc bag in your pocket or in a “fanny” type bag at your waist. This means you will always have a treat handy. You never know when an opportunity to train will pop up during the day! During the first few weeks of training a puppy’s attention span is short, usually less than five minutes. As your puppy gets older and starts to associate training times with pleasant interaction with you, the training time can be increased. You will know the dog's attention span is increasing when the puppy focuses more on the training sessions than on wandering off and playing. You can teach your puppy commands from the moment she arrives home. Keep training sessions short (less than five minutes) and practice three to five times a day.  Your Bernese Mountain Dog should be able to learn a variety of commands. Start with leash...

TL;DR in English: Be patient. Reward good behavior. Keep training sessions short. Start training your dog immediately.

A dog that needs leash training could benefit from the use of a training lead. This is a short leash that keeps the dog at your side. This kind of leash will let you correct bad behavior quickly and effectively by redirecting the dog away from distractions. A shock collar, choke chain, or prong collar has no place in retraining. While it might seem tempting to use a prong collar or choke chain, these work by inflicting pain and having the dog associate pain with pulling. Not only could these devices cause actual physical harm to the dog, but they work using fear rather than helping the dog to learn in a positive way. In addition, these collars are generally the mark of an inadequate trainer who doesn't know how to correct such behavior in any other way. Don't let this be a label applied to you, but instead retrain your dog in a humane manner using canine psychology. The chances are the dog is beside itself with excitement as soon as the leash appears. This is because it associates the leash with a walk. You want your pup to be calm when you set off, so that you are more likely to succeed in retraining.  To this end, clip the leash on and off the dog in the house, but without going for a walk. Your aim is to break the assumption that because the dog has a lead on it is going for a walk.  For example, when you are home, clip the leash on but go about your normal routine in the house. After 5 - 10 minutes, unclip the leash and carry on as usual again. Repeat this every half hour or so, so the dog becomes desensitized to wearing the leash.

At this point in your performance, you're just starting to feel sick and need to be subtle or else risk being figured out.  The “art” of your performance lies in subtlety revealing your ailments. To help you find the right balance, think about what happened the last time you started to get sick. Avoid using direct phrases such as:  “I don't think I'll be able to go to school tomorrow.” ”I'm not feeling well enough to make it to class.” ”I'm too sick for school.” Don't engage in the normal activities you would do if you felt well to show that you're not feeling your best.  Decline to participate in a favorite activity, such as watching a movie or playing a board game. Seem disinterested in engaging in the things your guardians know you usually enjoy doing. Contribute little to the conversation, so that you seem too tired to be involved. If your parents ask if you've been feeling sick for a while, tell them that you've been feeling slightly off all day. If your stomach really hurt, eating a big meal is the last thing you want to do! If you had a fever, you could be experiencing a loss of appetite, which also would make you not want to eat much.  Excuse yourself to use the bathroom and don't come out for ten minutes to give the impression that you are feeling bad but that you can still function enough to not raise too much concern. When you return to the table, let your guardians know that your stomach is hurting by saying things like:  ”Sorry I was gone for so long, my stomach feels really weird.” ”I'm not sure if I can finish dinner, my stomach really doesn't feel well.” ”Can I be excused? My stomach is hurting and I think I want to lay down for a moment.”   If possible, sneak some snacks into your bedroom to eat later so that you don't get really hungry at night!

TL;DR in English: Plant the idea that you might need to stay home the following day without being overly dramatic. Alter your afternoon routine. Don't eat much at the dinner table.

Choose a steam pressure washer with a PSI of 2000 to 2600 and one that can reach a temperature of at least 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius). The pressure and temperature will enable you to clean your pool tiles quickly and effectively. With steam pressure washers, you do not need to pretreat the tile with chemicals or detergents. Debris such as branches, leaves, twigs, and trash should be swept up and removed before using the pressure washer. Also remove lose furniture and objects that can be easily swept away such as plants, pool equipment and toys, lawn furniture, grills, and other lose objects. Set the machine according to the manual's instructions. Start with a low setting and the least powerful nozzle first. Pick an inconspicuous spot and stand at least three feet away from it. Spray the area for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, stop and check the spot to make sure the surface is not damaged.  Make sure all the outlets, inlets, and accessories are perfectly connected and secured before turning the pressure washer on. For your safety, make sure to wear safety goggles, close-toed shoes, and protective clothing that can get wet. Turn the pressure washer up to a higher setting, for example 2000 to 2600 PSI at 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93 degrees Celsius), and begin washing the pool in small sections. Use the washer's wands and attachments to reach tight corners and crevices when you need to.  If you are having a tough time removing the scaling from the tiles, then turn the temperature up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius). Remember to stand at least three feet away.

TL;DR in English: Rent a pressure washer from your local hardware store. Remove debris around the pool. Test a small area first. Wash your pool in sections.

It is difficult to make money as a pro cyclist, but some people manage to do so for a while. Pro teams usually only pay for equipment and travel. Even the payout for major races is actually pretty low. Choose a flexible job that will work with your training and race schedule.  Teaching is a profession that may lend itself to cycling, since you'll have summers off, which is when most of the season takes place. You might also consider working in a bike shop so that you can interact with other people who love the sport. Performing well at local events will help build your technique, confidence, and reputation. If you're entering with other members of your local club, be sure to work with them to dominate the racecourse. Look for local races by searching websites like Active.com or the official cycling website for your country. Though professional cyclists train extremely hard (like all other professional sports) the financial rewards associated with winning are much lower than those in professional baseball, football, basketball or ice hockey. As such, sponsorship is an important part of becoming a professional cyclist as the amount of cash available will determine the quality of equipment, coaching, and medical care you will have. Though sponsors usually don't donate as much cash in the amateur leagues as they do for professional cyclists, having a sponsor can make a difference in covering the costs of equipment, training, and travel. It's difficult to do, but worth trying all the same. The more attention you get in amateur contests, the more chance you stand of catching the eye of a scout for a professional team. At the USA Cycling website, you can research events per state and find which you are qualified to enter. If you're very lucky, you may end up cycling in an event where a scout will be searching for new talent. If you catch their eye, take the opportunity. Try out when a scout for a professional team asks you to compete for a professional team. Accept an offer to ride for a professional team, should...

Paint that has dried onto clothing is a real pain to get off, and you might have to resign yourself to the fact that it will never be removed completely. All the same, you can get a surprising amount of it removed without any chemicals or fluid. Taking a butter knife or your fingernail, scrape the excess paint away from the stain. Because the paint has dried, it will actually come off in chunks. You won't be able to scrape the paint that has soaked into the fabric, but the simple act of scraping the stain may have a significant impact on removing it. Alcohol-based cleaners, like acetone nail polish remover or hairspray, are arguably your best bet for fighting acrylic-based spray paint stains. These cleaners will break the bonds in the acrylic plastic. Unfortunately, they're far less effective once the paint itself has set into the clothes. If the stain is completely dried and you haven't seen any improvement from the alcohol-based cleaners, a heavy-duty paint remover may do the trick. Keep in mind, however, that paint removers have some tough chemicals in them, and they might strip the dye from your shirt completely. As such, they should only be used as a last resort. Laundering clothes after treating a stain with an alcohol-based cleaner will at least offer some confirmation whether the stain is removable or not. If it comes out of the laundry with the stain in place, there's nothing you can do outside of covering it up. Luckily, certain stains (especially on black clothing) can be covered quite well with fabric pens and other "destaining" products. Because dried paint is essentially bound to the fabric it has stained, sometimes the best option is to fight one stain with another. There are fabric pens available that are specifically intended for covering up paint stains. Go to a arts or fabric store and try to find a pen that matches the colour of your clothes. Paint shows up on jeans like a sore thumb, but you may be in luck if denim is your problem. Because denim tends to be in shades of blue and black,...

Most toll roads have the toll road operator's phone number on the side of the road. It is imperative you ring them within 48 hours to avoid a fine notice. If you do not purchase a pass or arrange payment with the toll road operator, you will receive an invoice in the mail, which will be the amount of the toll, and a processing fee. If you do not pay this initial invoice, the matter is usually referred to the police / relevant state authority, where costs will escalate and criminal charges may be pursued.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, and then add the onions and mushrooms. Cook the mixture for five to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions and mushrooms become tender. Gravy is a thick meat- or vegetable-based sauce that’s used as a topping on meat, potatoes, French fries, and other dishes. It’s often made with the juices of freshly cooked meat, but it can also be made with vegetable bases like mushrooms. When the mushrooms and onions are tender, add the stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for five minutes. Stir once or twice in that time. To make this gravy suitable for vegetarians or vegans, substitute a vegetable-based broth for the beef broth, and replace the butter with vegan margarine. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. When they are fully combined, pour the mixture into the broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Allow the mixture to return to a simmer. As the cornstarch heats up, it will thicken the gravy. Simmer for one to two minutes, then serve hot.

You can change certain things about yourself, such as what you say, how you say it, and how you act. When you try to change someone else, you are changing something about yourself in an attempt to incite change in that person. Sometimes, despite your best efforts, someone will not change. Again, it is important to note that you cannot force anyone to change if the person doesn't want to. You can say things to try to affect change within that person, but you are an agent of change, not the change itself. No matter how many times you tell your friend to tie his shoelaces, he does not have to tie his shoelaces. Get comfortable with the possibility that the person may never change, because it's quite possible that he will not. How would it feel to simply live with the behavior? Is it possible you could change your own behavior and attitude to accommodate the person? Or are there ways to work around it? Ask yourself if you can accept the person as he is. If you cannot accept the behavior, then you may need to end the relationship.  If you can live with this behavior, try to avoid situations in which it might arise. For example, if you hate when your friend sings in the car, avoid long road trips or listen to music that he doesn't know. Consider whether there are any ways to work around the behavior. Would it work to simply tell the person a time to meet you that is a half-hour earlier than necessary? Is there something that could be purchased that would solve the problem, for example, if your complaint is that the person will not clean the litter box like he promised, can you buy a self-cleaning one?  While these don't address larger problems (such as the person not following through with his promises), but they may help you accept the person as he is. If you cannot live with this behavior, you may need to cut off contact with this person. If your boyfriend’s drug problems are out of control, for instance, and you think that living with him will be extremely detrimental to your own health, you should consider...

Before you can choose the correct cold medicine, you need to figure out what your symptoms are. Each cold medicine is geared towards a specific set of symptoms. If you just grab a cold medicine without your symptoms in mind, you may end up getting something not fit for your cold. Cold medicine boxes will list the active ingredients. Make sure to read those ingredients before buying a medicine. Many cold medicine labels will also outline which symptoms the cold medicine will treat.  Pay attention to the amount of medication listed on the label. Some medicines will have stronger concentrations of medicines than others. For example, one medicine might have 120 milligrams of Pseudoephedrine, while another might have 30 milligrams. For example, if you have a sore throat, look for ingredients for pain relief or for sore throat to be listed as a symptom. A cold medicine with expectorant may not be the best option for this ailment. You should be very careful when taking cold medicines. You shouldn’t take multiple medicines of the same kind, like multiple decongestants. If you take a medicine that treats multiple symptoms, refrain from taking anything else. Cold medications, even if they are sold over-the-counter, can interact with other medications you may be taking and cause a serious reaction. Before making your purchase, it's a good idea to consult with a pharmacist and let her know which other medications (including supplements) you are taking. She should be able to let you know if it's safe to take your cold medicine of choice. When taking cold medicine, make sure not to overdose. Read the labels carefully. When taking acetaminophen, take special care not ingest more than the recommended daily dose. Also do not take multiple medicines that include acetaminophen. Depending on what active ingredients are in cold medicine, it may be drowsy or non-drowsy. Most labels will specify if the product causes you to be drowsy and if you should take caution when operating machinery or driving vehicles. If you are going to...
