Caterpillars don’t tend to move around too much once they find a good place to feed, so it’s perfectly possible to have a habitat that is open. A caterpillar habitat could be as simple as a single potted plant placed on a table, but if you want to have a bit more control of where your caterpillars can crawl to, find an open bucket or container.  If you have a clear container, this will make it easier for you to observe the caterpillars. Make sure it’s clean, but doesn’t have any lingering cleaning substances on the surfaces. Next you need to add the host plant to the container. You can do this in a variety of ways, such as just placing a potted plant into the bucket or container, or making some cuttings and placing them inside. Whichever method you use, make sure the leaves are a little damp to add some moisture.  If you are adding a whole plant, make sure the plant is healthy and will continue to thrive and grow. A plant will still need light to photosynthesis and remain healthy and a good food source for the caterpillars. If you are opting for an open container, you might consider adding a mesh, screen or net over the top of the plant or container. Your caterpillars may attract attention from predators and parasites in and around your home, such as spiders. Adding a net, such as a butterfly net, over the container or the plant can reduce the risk of this.  You will struggle to completely eliminate the danger of predators and especially parasites and parasitoids.  Regularly cleaning away frass can help, as spiders are drawn to the smell. Once you have built up your caterpillar habitat, it’s important that you pay close attention to it. This means regularly cleaning out frass, adding fresh cuttings from the host plant, and ensuring the environment is not too dry. This is a bit of work, but it also gives you time to enjoy observing the caterpillars as they prepare to pupate.  You can always add some extra things, such as pebbles or more greenery. Remember that once your caterpillar has found a good place to...

TL;DR in English: Find a bucket or open container. Add the host plant. Consider adding a screen or net. Maintain the habitat.

Spread your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your center of gravity between your legs with the knees bent and the body stable and unmoving. Your weight should be positioned mainly on the balls of your feet. In age uke, the body can be facing the opponent head-on or may be angled slightly to present less of a target. Create a solid base, but stay light on your feet so that you can move at a moment’s notice. To begin the blocking movement, your arms should be in a “chambered” position (fists clenched with fingers facing upward at either hip) or raised defensively in front of the body. This is to have them as close as possible to the anticipated strike in order to effectively protect the head and face. Your fists can be held open or closed, but do not clench them until the moment of impact. Clenching your fist creates unnecessary tension in the arms and shoulders, which can exhaust you and reduce your reactive speed. With the elbow bent at roughly 45 degrees, lift your blocking arm up and outwards in a tight arc until your forearm is held laterally over your forehead. As you begin the block, your forearm will catch your opponent’s strike and redirect their force safely over the top of your head or off to the side. This high blocking technique is known as age uke.  Age uke will stop high punches to the head, as well as downward smashing strikes with the fist or a bludgeoning weapon. Whenever possible, meet your opponent’s striking arm with both large bones of the forearm rather than the edge. This is known as a “double bone block,” and is much more effective at shutting down attacks as well as preventing injury. Now that your opponent’s strike has been deflected, their balance will be compromised and they will be open to a counter strike. Take advantage of the opportunity and strike back with a straight punch to the face or solar plexus. Both the block and the counterattack should be performed with quick, powerful motions, “snapping” the technique upon impact.  Power in the counter punch...

TL;DR in English: Assume the proper defensive stance. Have the arms poised and ready. Raise the blocking arm to meet the strike. Initiate a counterattack.

This can be a difficult task. Who you are is largely a reflection of how you think others see you. Consequently, there is a part of yourself that is a collection of things you've done and other memories of being in different situations. The other part is how you remember or think other people feel about you both now and in the past. Try writing a list of who you are. On a piece of paper, number 1 to 20. For each number, give a different answer to the statement "Who am I?". Then look at each statement and decide if that's primarily based on what you think of yourself or what others think of you. In any situation your initial response tends to be sub-cognitive. That's to say it is almost a "gut-feeling" that you have to make sense of. This is your intuition. Your intuition speaks to you with your inner voice to say to move forward or be cautious. Sometimes we have both an immediate feeling and counter-feeling. The immediate feeling is your initial impression. The counter-feeling is a cognitive (i.e., thought) response based on ideas such as "What 'should' I think or feel?" or "What would other people do?". That initial impression is your inner voice. Much of the time, your inner voice is in conflict with external motives. You imagine what society thinks or what your parents, friends, or partner might think. Your inner voice has conversations with these people as if a real discussion takes place. This is not to say that your initial impressions are more correct or accurate than the opinions of others. The goal is not to evaluate the information being presented--just to focus on what your own unique contribution is to a situation. If you know your inner voice you can identify your own intuition and beliefs. The other opinions that conflict or agree, by default, are then other people or groups. Even if you can't put a name or face to an opinion, knowing that the opinion is not of your inner voice is sufficient.  If you are a particularly submissive individual you may find it difficult to differentiate your inner...

A child who has dyslexia may find it hard to read clocks, or to use typical written schedules. Try using picture schedules to help the child know what the day will bring. These can be hand-drawn, downloaded and printed from online sources, or found in an app of a smartphone.  Consider setting a phone alarm to provide additional reminders for time management. Set a limit on the time the student should expect to spend on homework, as a student who has dyslexia may spend more time than his peers on the same material. Since sequencing is difficult for most people with dyslexia, you can help support them by showing them the smaller steps that make up a larger task. Use checklists, or picture lists for younger students.  For example, providing a "homework checklist" which includes not only the pages to be read, and worksheets to be completed, but also steps like "get pen or pencil", "write your name on the top of the page," and "put homework in school folder when finished." If the student's visual memory is poor, rote copying will not be an effective way of learning. Instead, offer notes or handouts to help the student learn the information. Folders or binders with pockets to help a student organize his materials. Use color-coding, which supports separating the materials into different subjects.  Keep pens and pencils in a packet within the notebook for easy access. It can be a good idea to check and make sure that a student with dyslexia has the homework assignment written down correctly, and placed in the same position within his notebook every night. Consider providing a homework checklist to help with organization. Automated processes, the kind of rote memorization that allows for easy access to familiar activities, is often more challenging for someone with dyslexia. Poor memory recall is one of the hallmarks of the dyslexia. A better way of learning is to teach a person with dyslexia to rely on models that can provide a framework for effective learning.  An example of such a framework is the rule “I before E...

The type of work you will do can vary widely based on where you base your operations. For instance, the market in a resort town will likely have a lot of summertime rentals, whereas a large metropolitan area might require you to deal heavily in high-rise apartments. In addition, if your area is experiencing a time of slower economic growth, you'll need to be aware that it might take longer for you to build a strong customer base. You'll probably have a lot of questions at first, so you'll need someone who makes you feel at ease. A good broker will help you find customers while giving you guidance into your new career in real estate. Look for a broker who specializes in the area you want to specialize in. For instance, if your dream is to help new families find their dream home, you wouldn't want to choose a broker who specializes in commercial properties. In addition to the clients your broker helps you reach, you should also try to bring new clients into the brokerage firm. If you've been building your network, your first sales will likely come much more easily.  Try asking the people you know questions like, "Are you planning to move soon? Do you know anyone who is?" You can also reach out to potential clients on social media. Your real estate license is usually good for 2-4 years depending on your state. When you obtain your license, you'll receive instructions on how to renew it.

TL;DR in English: Study the market where you live. Talk to multiple brokers so you find one you're comfortable with. Reach out to your personal network. Renew your license when it expires.

If the judge doesn't allow you to self-surrender to the prison where you have been designated, you will be handed over to the U.S. Marshals Service. Do not speak to a Marshal or let them overhear a conversation about your case, or anything else for that matter. Nothing you can say will make the situation any better and it might even make things worse: just because you have already been convicted doesn't mean that you can't be charged with something else. Don't ever forget that anything you say can become evidence which can be used against you; keep your mouth shut as much as possible. The choice and quality of care is significantly better outside of prison. Certain treatments that you take for granted might not be available in prison, or won't be nearly as good. After all, if you're in prison and you don't like the prison dentist, where else are you going to go to have your teeth fixed? So, if there's time to do it, consider having a dental check-up before you self-surrender and get anything important fixed.  Also, if you wear glasses you may want to have an eye exam and get new lenses if you need them. As with dental care, you've got a better choice of lenses and frames outside prison. If you're lucky enough to have some time before prison, get a check-up or address any medical issues you've been having. Though you'll get medical care in prison, it's better to get medical attention before you're locked up. Most federal prisons allow magazines and books to be sent to inmates—on the condition that they are sent directly from the publisher or a retailer like Amazon. If you're self-surrendering and you know which prison you're going to be in, consider taking out a subscription for magazines/journals or ordering a couple of books from Amazon to read. Do this a couple of days before you self-surrender.  Alternatively, give your friends and family a shopping list of books/magazines and let them take care of ordering things. There's no web access in prisons, so make your selections before you enter prison. Though...

You should start with the hair in front/above your ear on the right side of your head. Spraying water on your roots will make it easier for you to part your hair into clean sections. You don’t have to spray water on the strand of hair, just at the root. Once again, start with the hair in front/above your ear on your right side. Use your sectioning tool at the end of your comb or a bobby pin to make a square that is even on both sides. Use the front part of your comb to gently detangle your hair so that it smooth and ready to be braided. Put a small amount of hair gel on the midsection and tips of your hair. The gel is going to help keep your hair smooth inside of the braid. Pick off a piece and divide the piece of synthetic hair into two pieces. You should make one piece a third of the thickness of the strand and the other piece should then be two thirds of the thickness of the strand. Then bring the the ⅓ piece around together so that you have three equal parts of synthetic hair that are the same length and thickness. To make your micro-braids longer, take the two strands of hair, the ⅓ and ⅔ strands, and hold them both at the ⅓ mark, instead of at the half, so that the hair will hang down longer. Then wrap the ⅓ thickness strand of synthetic hair around the ⅔ strand of hair at the same ⅓ point on both strands. This will make your strands longer. You should have three strands of hair, and you should put your left index finger in between the two strands of hair that was the ⅔ piece, and make a fist with that hand. A V of the synthetic hair should be between your index finger and the point where the two strands are wrapped around each other. Then with your three fingers, thumb, forefinger, and middle fingers, of your right hand, hold the remaining strand of hair that was wrapped around the ⅔ strand so that it is secure. Twirl your right hand so that your hand is under the V. Going underneath the V, you should put your right index finger into the space where your left index finger is. With your right hand,...

TL;DR in English: Spray the roots of your hair with water where you want to start braiding. Section off a ¼ inch by a ¼ inch section of hair. Detangle the strand of hair with your comb and apply hair gel. Take a piece of synthetic hair about ⅛ to ¼ inch in thickness. Wrap the ⅓ piece of hair around the ⅔ piece of hair at the middle of both strands. Position your hands on the synthetic strands. Position one hand on the synthetic strands. Open your index finger and thumb and grab the section of real hair. Position your left arm over your head so that you can work better with your left hand. Start the braid. Repeat the process 4-5 times. Add hair to the short strands. Do a slipknot at the end of the hair. Clean up the braids with your scissors. Continue sectioning and braiding using a brick pattern.

To develop a good work ethic, you will have to take work seriously, and aim to do it well. This doesn’t mean that many important aspects of your life that are not related to work, nor does it mean that you have to work all the time. During work time, work-related tasks should be your primary concern, and make sure you balance your work life and non-work life so that you have enough time and energy to do your work well. If you are partially or completely in charge of setting your own work time, you will have to be sure to minimize distractions when working, and to work for a set period of time. Set a specific number of hours (e.g. 6 hours) and treat it like you're in a professional office. Factor in time for breaks and meals, if necessary. Diligently maintaining a log of the hours you work will help you to do this. . Being respectful of others, showing consistency and reliability, being honest, and other values are part of developing a good work ethic. Many of these values have to do with how you treat others; a work ethic doesn’t just mean working hard, but also working well with others. When you make a mistake or don’t complete your work, don’t make excuses. Owning your mistakes or shortcomings and promising to improve in the future shows maturity and a willingness to work well with others. Aside from working doing your tasks well, you can cultivate a good reputation at work by being honest, following workplace rules (concerning punctuality, breaks, time off, etc.), and being fair to others. Avoid gossiping at work. This will show that you are focused on your job, treat others fairly, and are a good team player. Be personable and wish your coworkers well, but don't get caught up in gossip, oversharing, or office drama. Staying focused, and making choices that will benefit you in the long run are also part of developing a good work ethic. This means being able to tell yourself, and others, when work needs to come first. Values like dedication, ambition, and persistence are valued by employers, and can lead to...

Put yourself into a variety of activities and get yourself busy. This way, you have less time to think about what your friend is up to and you'll also be making your life more interesting to others so you can attract more friends in the future. Start playing a musical instrument, start going to church, start doing anything that is good for you and will help you move forward from this point. Work on becoming a more well-rounded person by investing in different activities and experiences. Don't rely on one person to make you feel good about yourself. Be active, socialize and network in your friend's circles so that you might be able to spend more time with them. Do not spy around; instead, respect your friend's space and give a lot of trust to your friendship. Ultimately, this respectful hands-off approach will work out for your own good. If you become friends with more of their other friends, you're bound to spend more time with your friend by default. However, this could be seen as another possessive behavior if you're not careful. Part of the reason you feel so possessive of your friend is probably because you have been limiting yourself to that one friend for a while. If you have other friends that you hang out with and invest in, you won't need so much emotional support from that one friend. Spread your needs out over a group of people. Try meeting new people (at places like school, church, or in your neighborhood) as well as cultivating friendships with people you already know casually. Feelings of possessiveness tend to get worse when we just sit and focus on them. As long as you allow yourself to obsess over this one friend, you will not get over it. Try distracting yourself with anything possible to get your mind off of it. You could even enlist the help of another friend if you trust them enough not to tell other people about it. Try reading a book, watching a movie, going for a walk, calling a friend, talking to your mom, or even creating something artistic.

Put any shoes you aren’t wearing on the plane in the bottom of the bag to keep them from crushing more delicate items, and fill them with your socks or charging cables. Pack all toiletries into a small bag and put them with your shoes. Liquid, cream, and aerosol toiletries have to stay under 3.4 ounces to adhere to TSA restrictions. Put all those items in a separate, quart-sized bag: if they're in your carry-on, they need to be taken out during screening. To keep your dress shirts from getting too crushed or wrinkled, pack any heavy items - like jeans, suit pants, or dresses - after the toiletries and shoes. If you’re worried about things getting messy, buy packing cubes to keep things organized. There are two ways to pack clothes: using the folding technique, or the rolling technique. The rolling technique keeps things tight and small, to maximize space. The folding technique keeps items flat and organized so they arrive in a neat condition. Keeping your dress shirts on top keeps them as wrinkle-free as possible. You can keep these in shirt covers or folded carefully over everything else. You can also neatly fold your tie and place it along with the shirts. Pack your laptop, phone, any tablets, medications, and a folder for all your business and travel documents into your handbag. This makes sure everything you need with you is in one place, and you won't lose any medications or electronics. Don't forget your chargers! To make it easier to charge your devices on the go, pack them in your purse or briefcase, if you have one. Take a few minutes to hang up your clothes to spare them excess wrinkles.

TL;DR in English: Start with toiletries, chargers, and shoes. Put heavier clothes in second. Add your shirts last. Pack any important documents, prescriptions, and electronics in your purse or briefcase. Unpack and hang your clothes when you get to the hotel.

For the purposes of this example, let's assume that the measurement you want to convert is in column A and you'd like to see the conversion results in column B (but in reality, this method will work for any two columns). Click on cell A1 and type in the original unit (the one you'd like converted, e.g. seconds, hours, or days). This is also called the “from_unit.”  For example: type “Minutes” into cell A1. In this example, we will convert 21 (number) minutes (from_unit) to seconds (to_unit). Excel’s convert function converts a measurement from its original unit, or “from unit,” into a “to-unit” (the unit you're converting the measurement to). Labeling your columns will help you organize your data. Click on cell B1. This will serve as your "to_unit" column. Type in the unit you are converting the measurement to (e.g. seconds or days). For example: enter “Seconds” into cell B1. Type in the original measurement in numbers only. Do not enter in the units. For example: in cell A2, enter “21” (as in 21 minutes). ” Instead of entering the convert function by hand, you can use Excel’s formula builder to help you create the formula.  Select the “Formula” tab. Click “Formula Builder”. Select cell B2. Select “CONVERT.” Excel's convert function calls this value the "number."  For example: enter "A2". For a single conversion, as in this example, you may also type the actual measurement (“21”) instead of the cell name. Enter in the approved abbreviated form of the original unit.  For example: type “mn” (the abbreviation for minutes). Excel provides a comprehensive list of unit abbreviations here. " Type in the approved abbreviation for the "to_unit." For example: type “sec” (the abbreviation for seconds). The converted measurement will appear in your cell (in this case, cell B2).  For example: in cell B2, you will see “1260” (as in 1260 seconds).  If you receive a “#N/A” error, check the unit abbreviations again. Make sure the abbreviation is correct and that the two units belong to the same group (for example, it is not...

If you are a teenager who has sore breasts, you are more than likely going through puberty. This means that your breasts are growing and your menstrual cycle is getting under way. It is normal to experience sore breasts at this time. Common symptoms include:  Tenderness in your breast, especially in the nipple area. This can be caused by hormonal changes and by wearing a bra that is too tight, or sleeping with a bra on. Feeling like you have heavy breasts. As fat and duct cells increase in your breasts, their tissue content also increases. Experiencing a warm feeling in your breasts. This occurs because multiple reactions are occurring at the cellular level, when hormones act on the glands and cells. See your doctor if the pain is very sharp or constant, is getting worse, or interferes with your daily activities. Doctors do not normally require full breast examinations until after the teenage years. However, it is a good idea to get in the habit of performing self-examinations of your breasts, especially if you experience soreness in the area. An exam will help you discover the issue in the rare event that you have a major problem. Sometimes you might feel a lot of lumps in your breast; this is caused by estrogen during your period. During puberty, you may also notice harmless lumps (such as breast buds) that are a normal part of your breast development. If you find a hard, unmoving lump, however, or if you are concerned, see your doctor for an examination. If you notice any pus or blood coming from your nipple while you are also experiencing sore breasts, you should go to a doctor. Pus or blood suggests an underlying infection, usually treatable with antibiotics. If there is localized (meaning in just one spot) tenderness and warmth in any part of your breast, it could mean you have an infection. This localized tenderness does not necessarily need to be accompanied by pus or blood. Instead, you may notice a part of your breast that is red, painful, or swollen. Antibiotics are prescribed to combat infections,...

Perk up a door, a table or a wooden chair that has seen better days by painting them. Try painting a concrete floor, perhaps in the basement laundry area. You can also use painter’s tape to make stripes to create borders on your walls. You are only limited by your imagination when redecorating your personal space.  Unify your home with white paint. If the upper cabinets in your kitchen are different colors from either separate cabinet pieces, chairs or other pieces, think about painting everything white to bring them all together.  Painting a room a different color than white, though, can really bring a space to life. Don’t let a fear of color make you choose beige, white or off-white all the time. Dark hues, for example, add depth and texture to a space. This is especially true if you have a large room with a high ceiling. Conversely, if you have a small room, lighter, brighter colors can really open up the space and make it look bigger.  However, when painting, consider keeping the ceiling white or painting it a light color. Ceilings that are lighter help a room appear more open and larger. Sometimes just moving your couch at an angle or into another corner can make a big difference in how a living room looks and feels. Think about how you can reposition the pieces you have to make a new look, even moving them into different rooms. Why not move that big, overstuffed chair into your bedroom near the window for a cozy, new reading nook?  Before you rearrange, though, be sure to clear the clutter. Any disorganization in a room distracts from its beauty. When a place is cluttered, a person’s eye goes directly there, so all you’ll see is a pile of papers on the counter, laundry in the corner and toys on the floor versus your beautiful couch or amazing table.

Also consider the following:  It is often best to have a "master list" and then create a smaller list of short term goals that need to be addressed first. Some flexibility should be in your list. You may not be able to find a pink silk organza dress in size 16, for example--that may be too exacting to be handled by thrifting. But you may be able to find a nice dress in size 16 for your stepsister's graduation if you search well enough. Be prepared to search for your needs. Some thrift stores are well-organized by gender, size, type of item, or other metrics such as color.  Others are a free-for-all of bins and warehouse space. Prior to thrifting, thoroughly examine your closet and do an inventory of it. Note down which pieces you might have not worn yet that month. Through this, you can become inspired to find a particular item to match the clothing and finally wear it! You can also prevent buying clothing similar to what you already have. Without trying clothing on, it is difficult to tell whether it is worth your money.  Ask for a fitting room with a mirror or a convenient restroom. Dress in form-fitting attire in case a fitting room is not available.  That way you can try on clothing over your existing clothes. Leggings and sports bras can be useful in this. To eyeball if a garment will fit around your waist without trying it on: button it, and then wrap it around yourself from bellybutton to spine. Thrift store items are typically purchased "as is"; therefore, it is important to look all purchases over thoroughly before committing to a purchase.  Some things to look for are:  If looking at clothing, check seams, cuffs and collars for wear and damage. A button might be a simple fix, but that may not be the case with a ripped-out seam. Look for staining, especially around the neck, armpit, and inseam. Dirt, lint, and animal hair can often be laundered, but there are no guarantees. For furniture, make sure that it is sturdy and does not require repairs...

TL;DR in English: Decide what you are looking for. Try things on. Assess quality. Have vision. Set shopping limits.

Locate the Reset button on the top left side of your Armitron watch. Hold the button for about 3 seconds or until it beeps. You should notice numbers on your screen start flashing. The Mode button is usually found on the bottom right side of your Armitron watch. When you press the mode button, the section that's flashing on your screen will change. This way, you can easily switch between changing the hour, minutes, day, and date. Keep pressing Mode until you reach the value you need to change. Whatever is flashing on your watch is the value you're changing. Locate the St/Stp button on the top right side of the Armitron watch. Whenever you want to change a value, press the button until you reach the right number. If you need to reach an earlier time or day, keep pressing the button until it cycles over.  Check if you have the time set as AM or PM on your watch so all of the information is accurate. On some models, like the WR330, the St/Stp button may be labeled Adj. After you've set all of the information correctly, press the Reset button to lock in all of the information. Check your watch over the course of the next day to make sure the time is correct. If there is a fourth button on your watch, it is not used to set the time or date.

The separate sides of a two-part mold join along the centerline of the master object. Retrieve your master item, a permanent marker, and a ruler. Draw a straight centerline around your master item. Set a block of non-toxic and non-drying molding clay on your work surface. Embed the master item into the clay up to the centerline. The top of the item should line up with the top of the clay bed. There should be a 1 inch border of clay surrounding the remaining 3 sides of the item. Alignment keys join the 2 halves together perfectly. Retrieve four ½ inch alignment keys and a bottle of temporary adhesive. Apply a thin layer of temporary adhesive to the flat side of the alignment key. Place the key in ¼ inch from the top left corner and adhere it directly to the clay. Place 1 key in each of the remaining 3 corners. In order to fill the mold, you must provide an opening. For this mold, the opening will appear at the top of the clay bed. Apply a thin layer of temporary adhesive over the top of the master item—the side not embedded in clay—and the top side of the clay bed (the side directly below the top of the master item). Press this side flush against a wooden or metal retaining wall. Allow it to dry. A layer of silicone mold putty will form 1 of the mold’s inner walls. Coat the master part with a release agent.

If you have recognized symptoms, talked about depression with your teen, and have taken her to see a therapist who has diagnosed her with depression, it is of the utmost importance that you show her that she has your full support. This will be a difficult time for her—and for you. Work together to build each other up and support each other. For example, drive your teen to her sessions with a therapist and pick her up afterwards. Ask her about her session and show her that she can talk about it if she wants. Make her feel loved and supported by being there for her. Communication is one of the most important factors in a healthy relationship. To ensure that your teen feels like she can talk to you about what she is going through, it is important to keep communication between you two, and the rest of the family, as open as possible. Ask your teen about what she is going through and what she thinks about her therapy. You should also discuss depression as a condition openly and rationally. Remember to be empathetic and sensitive, but open and honest, in your communications about her disorder. Be loving and kind, but also be realistic about the steps that need to be taken so that she can recover fully. Because your teen can get bogged down by depression, you can help her by keeping track of when she needs to be at different appointments. Drive her to and from them, and use that time to talk to her about how she is feeling, or simply show your support by singing along to her favorite songs with her. While therapy should be considered as a treatment before medications should be taken, your teen may be prescribed medication if her depression is severe enough. If this is the case, you should help her to keep track of her medications and when they need to be refilled. Sometimes, talking to people that are going through the same things can really help to raise awareness about a condition. Ask your teen if she would like to go to a support group. At a support group she will:  Talk to others about their experiences and get...

TL;DR in English: Understand the importance of support. Keep communication open at all times. Keep track of your teen’s appointments and medications, if she is taking any. Take your teen to a support group. Attend family counseling with your teen.

Prepare your charcoal or wood stove as directed, but add several large hunks of hardwood among the charcoal. This will release smoke during grilling and impart a smoky flavor to the turkey legs. You could also create a small seasoning packet to place directly in the center of the grill, surrounded by the coals or wood. Take an aluminum pie plate and fill it with the following ingredients. Then, cover the plate with foil and poke holes around the top. When this starts to smoke, add your turkey legs.  1/2 cup white rice 1/3 cup black loose leaf tea 1/4 cup brown sugar 6 whole cloves 3 star anise pods Smoke the turkey legs for 2 to 2.5 hours. If you want smokier turkey legs, consider grilling them longer at a lower heat. Try 3.5 to 4 hours at 225 to 240 degrees. Use a meat thermometer and check to see if the legs have reached 165 °F (73.9 °C). If so, they're finished. If not, continue checking the temperature at regular intervals until they're at 165 degrees F. Serve the turkey legs immediately or wrap them in foil and refrigerate them if you're going to eat them much later. To reheat the turkey legs, set the foil-wrapped cooked turkey legs in a 275 degree F. oven for 30 minutes.

. There are several ingredients that you can only gather while in the Nether, so you'll need to go to the Nether in order to kick off the potion-brewing process. The Nether is incredibly dangerous, especially for new players. Consider setting the game difficulty to "Peaceful" while in the Nether to avoid dying until you want Ghast tears, Magma cream, Blaze rods and Blaze Powder. You'll gather two things while in the Nether:   Nether Wart: A mushroom-like item found on the ground in Nether fortresses. It grows on soul sand.  Blaze Rods: Blazes drop blaze rods when killed. You will need to bump the difficulty up to 'Easy' for Blazes to spawn.  Soul Sand: If you wish to grow more Nether Wart in the Overworld, you can grab some of these brown blocks that look like they have faces trapped inside. Exit the Nether by going back to your Nether portal and hopping through it. Just make sure a Ghast doesn't put it out. Open your crafting table, place three cobblestone blocks in the bottom row of the crafting grid, place a blaze rod in the middle square, and move the brewing stand to your inventory. Select it in your inventory, then select the ground to place the brewing stand.  In Minecraft PE (Pocket Edition), just tap the brewing stand icon and then tap 1 x to create the brewing stand. On the console version of Minecraft, select the brewing stand and press A on the Xbox or X on the PlayStation). Open the crafting table, place a glass block in the middle-left, bottom-middle, and middle-right squares, and move the stack of three glass bottles into your inventory.

Healthy fats, like omega-3 fatty acid and alpha-linolenic acid, can help reduce the inflammation responsible for elevated CRP levels.  Get more alpha-linolenic acid by consuming seeds, nuts, and unprocessed vegetable oils. Cook with naturally pressed olive oil or canola oil. Consider snacking on walnuts in between meals and adding flaxseed to your diet. Consume types of fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon, trout, and sardines are good choices. Try to eat fish like this three times each week. Like healthy fats, most fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and other nutrients that have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body.  Fruits and vegetables contain polyphenol. a type of antioxidant that can help improve your overall cardiovascular health. Maximize the health benefits you receive from fresh produce by leaving the skins on. The skins of most fruits and vegetables contain more dietary fiber than the flesh, and fiber can also help lower CRP. People who consume fiber-rich diets are approximately 63 percent less likely to have elevated CRP levels than those who consume inadequate amounts of fiber. If you aren't able to get more fiber into your diet naturally, try adding 1 tsp (5 ml) of psyllium, an effective fiber supplement, to an 8-oz (250-ml) glass of water or juice each morning. In particular, ginger and turmeric are believed to help reduce inflammation within the body and can thereby help lower CRP levels, too. Try cooking a meal that contains either seasoning at least once or twice a week. If you don't like the taste of either spice, you could take curcumin supplements. Curcumin is extracted from turmeric, and it's the component believed to be directly linked to turmeric's anti-inflammatory properties. Moderate amounts of dark chocolate can lower CRP levels, but too much will still do more harm than good. Eat approximately 20 grams (0.71 oz) of dark chocolate twice a week for optimal results.  When selecting the right type of chocolate, look for something that consists of at least 70...

Now that your smoker is ready to go, it’s time to prepare the items you’ll be cooking. Coat heavier cuts like ribs, brisket, and pork shoulders with an even layer of dry rub spices for maximum flavor. Soak more delicate meats such as chicken, fish, and chops overnight in your favorite acid-based marinade.  You can find dozens of tantalizing homemade dry rub and marinade recipes with a quick Internet search.  While seasoning isn’t an essential step, it’s a simple way to enhance the natural flavor of your meat. Use a long-handled meat spatula or tongs to transfer the meat to the smoking racks safely. Arrange the meat according to how the racks are set up—situate the biggest items on the wide lower racks and save smaller ones for the upper racks.  You may need to insert heavy cuts of meat like pork butts or racks of ribs by hand. Be sure to pull on a thick pair of barbecuing gloves before doing so to protect yourself from burns. To prevent the smoke from escaping, try to only leave the door open for as short a time as possible. Swing the door shut, then flip the latch beside the handle to secure it. Locking the door will prevent it from swinging open accidentally and letting out heat or smoke. Always open and close the door on your smoker using the built-in handle. The metal on the surrounding parts of the door can get extremely hot, and may burn you if you're not careful. This could be 2-8 hours, depending on the type of meat you’re working with. Refer to the recipe you’re following for a more accurate sense of how long your items will need to smoke. In the meantime, avoid opening your smoker unless it’s to top off the water bowl. Unlike other cooking methods, smoking is all about patience. A good way to know whether you need more wood or water is to watch the smoke. As soon as it stops, open the smoking chamber and refill the water cup to the top. Then, load another 1-4 cups (150-600 g) of wood chips into the chip tray, slide it back into place, and resume smoking.  Keep in mind that just because the chip tray...

TL;DR in English: Season your meat with a dry rub or marinade to add flavor. Place your meat directly on the racks inside the smoking chamber. Close and lock the door of the smoker. Smoke your items for the length of time called for by the recipe. Add more wood chips or water as needed while your meat smokes. Allow your meat to rest for 15-20 minutes before eating.

Descriptive words will help your audience understand exactly what it is you are talking about and make it more interesting for them to continue reading or listening. However, you don't want to go overboard with these, as they may be redundant or lack impact.  Think about how others might visualize the words you are using. If your words do not create a clear picture in your audience's head, chances are your language is too vague. For example, if you just say, "The man went to his house," your audience will not know what to imagine. If you say, "The tired old man went to his dark, empty house," your reader will be better able to imagine the scene.   However, the sentence "She stuttered haltingly as she spoke" uses an adverb inappropriately. "Stuttered" already includes the idea of halting speech, so the adverb is redundant -- or "fluff," in creative writing lingo.  If you're not sure whether or not your language is descriptive enough, read it to some of your peers and ask them to judge you on how you've done. Ask them where you were lacking in detail or where your language was not clear. Instead of describing every single object you mention, focus on the ones that are most important to your message. Leave no room for confusion in your message by referencing names, titles, and places whenever possible. Make sure your audience understands exactly when something needs to be done by using specific terms like "on Monday" or "before 4:30 EST" instead of more vague terms like "next week" or "soon." For creative writing, use descriptive words and phrases based on all five senses: sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch. This can also be useful for other types of writing and speaking because it will allow your audience to experience the situation themselves and draw their own conclusions.  For example, the sentence "Deshawn was very happy" is not very detailed. It does not give the reader any idea of what Deshawn's happiness feels like. Instead, try something like "Deshawn felt his heart hammer in his chest as he rushed...

Whether you have poor night vision or are simply confused about the location of certain celestial bodies, a chart or guide can help you determine where to look. You can purchase star charts and planetary guides from a bookstore, print out free guides from the internet, or download a star/planetary guide app on your smartphone.  Remember that star charts are usually only valid for a limited period of time (typically about one month). That's because the position of stars in the sky changes over time as the earth continues along its orbit. If you consult a star chart or planetary guide out in the field, make sure you use a dim red flashlight. These flashlights are designed to provide light without affecting your eyes' ability to adjust to the darkness. If stargazing with the naked eye isn't getting you enough celestial body views, you may want to consider using a telescope or binoculars. These instruments can help assist your view by magnifying the area you look at. This can make visible objects clearer and can even bring objects invisible to the naked eye into your view.  Some experts recommend getting familiar with celestial bodies using the naked eye, then trying binoculars, and finally moving up to using a telescope. This can help you get more acclimated to the visible bodies and their place in the night sky. Compare telescopes and binoculars online before you invest in one. Read the reviews written by people who have owned a given model by searching online for the model you're interested in. Light pollution from urban areas can drastically limit your ability to see celestial bodies in the night sky. To really maximize visibility, you may want to consider visiting a dark-sky site. These designated sites have been identified by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) as places worth protecting against encroaching light pollution and urban development.  Common dark-sky sites include state and national parks, though other dark-sky sites are surrounded by well-lit, well-developed regions. Check the IDA...

How much ice you use will depend on the size of your cooler, bucket, or sink. Try to make sure you have enough ice to bury the bottles or cans underneath it. If you have a lot of beer you may need to use more than one cooler or bucket or chill the beer in shifts. Make sure that you add enough water that the mixture is soupy. As a liquid, water can cover a can or bottle at more points than ice can, which will allow it to cool faster.  However, water will also warm at a faster speed, so make sure you add more ice as it melts. This will require you to dump some of the water out each time you add ice. Since you'll need to dump water periodically, it's best to cool your beer in a cooler that has a drain at the bottom or in a sink that can easily be drained. Salt will help cool your beer faster because it allows water to drop to a temperature below freezing without becoming a solid. This means that you get the benefit of the cold temperature of the ice while still having the surface exposure of the water. You should try to have 1 cup of salt for every 3 lbs of ice. Ice will melt faster because of the salt, so be sure to replenish the ice frequently. Since the water is “super cool” be careful of touching it too much with your hands. Instead, try gently dropping the beer into your cooler, sink, or bucket. You should also make sure that each can or bottle has enough space to be moved around. Moving the beer around will help ensure that all the liquid inside gets equal exposure to the surrounding ice, which will, in turn, help it cool faster. You should make sure you move the bottles or cans every couple of minutes.  It's okay to skip this step. It may take the beer a few extra minutes to chill, but you won't have to worry about checking on it. Once you’ve added the beer it should cool in 2-5 minutes.

Ask if they’re still up to hosting, and make sure they’re all set! It’s not a bad idea to budget time for a grocery run or other errands. If any guests get lost or confused, you’re probably going to be the person they reach out to, so be ready! Double-check to make sure you have all of your hosts’s numbers at the ready, too. Make sure you’re prepared to shuffle your guests along so they’re on time for each stop. Check in with the hosts one more time, and get ready to enjoy the party!  If you can find sneaky ways to clean up along the way, like clearing the dishes, go ahead. Don’t go too far out of your way, though--you’re there to enjoy yourself. It might go without saying, but don’t get so drunk you can’t direct people if need be! Help them clean up, and consider getting each a small present (like flowers or wine) to say thank you.

Hard copy dictionaries (rather than online ones) often have standard letters for jobs, for RSVPs, for filing complaints, for various official writings. Dictionaries often have more than just words and their definitions. Some of them have lots of information about the world, usually in the form of various lists. These include geographical information (like maps, countries, cities, capitals, etc.)  Hard copy dictionaries often have different weights and volumes, as well as conversion tables. This can come in handy if you need to convert pounds to kilograms or vice versa. You can also usually find statistics on population in various cities and countries, as well as lists of the flags of different countries, states, provinces, and regions around the world. Many dictionaries also have lists of famous or historical people, which you can peruse. Simply browse a dictionary to enlighten yourself about new words now and then. Open the dictionary up to any page and scan the page for words that are unfamiliar or seem interesting. Pinpoint them, read the definition and try to add the new word to your thinking or talking during the next few days until it becomes a remembered part of your natural vocabulary.  Play the dictionary game with friends. This consists of getting some friends together and a dictionary. The first player looks up a challenging word and uses it in a sentence. The other players have to guess if the use of the word is accurate or an outright fabrication. If a player guesses correctly, it's their turn next. Another dictionary game: Each player chooses a word which should be familiar to the other players, then reads out the dictionary definition. The other players compete to guess the word as quickly as possible - perhaps even shouting out while the definition is still being read. Play Balderdash with a foreign language dictionary. Pick a random obscure word and then have people make up definitions along with having the real definition, having people guess which definition is the "real" one.

Run a cool-mist humidifier in your bedroom at night according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This will put increased moisture in the air to lubricate your nasal passages and ease itchiness and irritation.Clean your cool-mist humidifier regularly to keep mold and bacteria from growing in the water. Use an over-the-counter saline nasal spray to lubricate your itchy nasal passages. Breathe in slowly through your nose as you spritz the spray in each nostril according to the manufacturer’s directions. This will help clean irritants out of your nose and ease itching.  Blow your nose if needed after using your saline spray. Administer your saline safely up to 2 times per day. If you feel you need it more often, consult your doctor. Aim to drink 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day if you’re a man, and 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day if you are a woman. Sufficient water intake will ensure that your nasal tissues are lubricated, preventing itchiness caused by dehydration. Apply a pea-sized amount of water-soluble personal lubricant, such as KY jelly, to the inside of your nostrils with a clean cotton swab. Use as little as necessary to feel relief, and do not use the lubricant within a few hours of lying down.  Avoid oil-based lubricants, such as petroleum jelly, which can migrate to the lungs and cause infection. You can purchase water-soluble lubricant at your local drug store or online.

Make sure to fully submerge any areas containing burnt food. If possible, cool the pot and fill it with water immediately after burning it, that way the food will be easier to remove. For smaller pots, 2 to 3 drops should be plenty. For larger pots, try 4 to 5. Once added, mix the solution together with a simple cleaning brush to make sure soap covers the whole pot. If not possible, let it sit for at least 1 hour. The more time the burnt food has to absorb your soapy solution, the easier it will be to remove. After soaking, use the rough end of a double-sided sponge to scrape the burnt food off. Though not necessary, feel free to dump the water first if desired. If some food is still stuck on, repeat the soaking process.

The line should be the same size as the head. This will be the guideline for the torso of your chibi character.  Keep the line light so it's easy to go back and erase the pencil. If you prefer to draw your character turning, bending, or crouched, for instance, you can skip this step. Decide how wide you want your character's waist to be and sketch a horizontal line halfway on the vertical torso line. The horizontal line will become your character's waistline. Then, draw an angled line coming from each side of waistline that narrows near the head. Place your pencil at 1 end of the waistline and make a slanting line goes down and slightly in towards the vertical guideline. Do this for the opposite side and then make an upside-down V shape that's centered on the guideline. The upside-down V will distinguish the 2 legs. The arms can be as narrow or thick as you like, but ensure that they extend just below the waistline. Then, make a small rounded circle at the end of each arm to represent the hands. If you like, you can make the hands more detailed by drawing fingers or jewelry. If you're drawing a simple character, you could draw a plain top and pants or a dress. For a more detailed character, include a few more features, such as socks, shoes, a tie, a belt, or a scarf. Feel free to add accessories to your character. For example, if you're drawing a chibi wizard, draw a cloak and staff.

To make a ~5% bleach solution add 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of bleach to a cup of water. Mix well. This solution is great for sterilizing plastic surfaces. Be careful when working around bleach to not to get any bleach on your clothes or other fabrics. Put bleach solution in spray bottle and spray, or use a clean rag or sponge to apply, bleach onto the plastic surface. Alternatively if the plastic item is small and water friendly, you can soak the plastic directly in the bleach solution. Let the bleach solution sit on the plastic for 10-15 minutes. Use water to rinse off the plastic. Depending on the item you can do this with a hose or faucet, or with more delicate items you may need to wipe it down with a wet cloth. Dry your now clean plastic with a clean dry towel.

If you have a vaginal tear that is causing you a lot of pain, is larger than a small cut or abrasion, or won't heal, go see your doctor. They will do an exam to assess the damage to your vagina. The doctor will determine the best course of treatment. The doctor will also determine if you have any underlying conditions that lead to the vaginal tear. If you have a vaginal tear, the doctor may prescribe medication to help with infection or healing. These may come in the form of a cream, pill,  or gel. Low estrogen may lead to atrophic vaginitis, which can cause a dry vagina that can tear easily. Other conditions, like cancers or hormonal imbalances, can also cause low estrogen. The doctor may prescribe estrogen creams to help. They may also suggest changing your diet to increase the estrogen you get from foods. Never try to increase your estrogen without consulting a doctor. This can mess with your body’s chemical balance. Some women develop vaginal tears because they are deficient in certain nutrients. This deficiency causes a breakdown of the skin and membranes in the vagina. Talk to your doctor about your diet if you have frequent vaginal tears that won’t heal. A nutritionist can help you identify which nutrients you are missing and how to increase them safely. Zinc deficiencies are a common reason for vaginal tears. Other deficiencies may include vitamin A, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and vitamin C. Some tears are deep or violent. They may bleed a lot, have pus, smell foul, have loose flesh, or give you severe pain. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor immediately for treatment. These types of wounds often occur because of childbirth, trauma, or accidents during sex. These are serious wounds and should be treated as such. Many deep vaginal tears are treated with stitches. Stitches are used for tears that are longer than one inch. The doctor will stitch the skin together. This may occur at a clinic or hospital. Generally, these wounds heal well. While you are healing, you...

Talk to your friends. Ask your parents for guidance. Seek out advice from older relatives.

Look in the mirror while holding it to make sure you can see all the parts of yourself that are important to you. Remember that you’ll likely be able to step back from the mirror to see your shoes.  Choose a door that gets good light if you plan to do your make up in the mirror. If possible, have a friend hold the mirror, so you can double check that the height works for you. Holding the mirror in place, create a small pencil mark along the top edge. This will give you a reference point to work from as you center the mirror on the door. It’s not important to mark the edges of the mirror. This mark is just to get an approximate feel for where you’d like to hang the mirror. Use a measuring tape to measure the width of the door from edge to edge. Divide that number in half to get the precise center of the door’s width. On your height line, mark this true center of the door with a dark pencil mark. If your door has decorative imprints or panels, measure only the center of the thick, central panel of the door. Decorative areas of interior doors are often hollow and not strong enough to hold a mirror. Measure the width of the mirror using a measuring tape. Divide this measurement in half to get the precise center of the mirror. Create a light pencil mark at this measurement on the top of the mirror. If there’s not a rough edge to mark the center of the mirror, use a small piece of painter’s tape to mark the center. Ask your friend to align the center mark on your mirror and the center mark on your door’s height line. With the mirror in this ideal position, mark the center of the bottom edge of the mirror. You will use this bottom mark as a guide to hang mirror clips, which will secure your mirror to the door.

TL;DR in English: Hold the mirror at the approximate height you want it on the door. Use a pencil to mark where the top of the mirror hits on the door. Measure the door to find the center. Find the center of the mirror by measuring. Have a friend hold the mirror in its final, centralized position.

It's a common misconception that you need to keep your stomach empty if you want to eat more, and in fact this can't be further from the truth. Starting your day with fruits, whole grains, or lean protein is an excellent way to kick your metabolism into gear, meaning you'll be hungrier later in the day, meaning you'll be ready to eat more later in the day. A recent study found that the morbidly obese are more likely to skip meals earlier in the day. Don't ever starve yourself. Competitive eaters eat standing up for a reason. When you eat sitting down, pressure is put on your stomach by your other organs, and it won't expand as much as when you're standing. It's also uncomfortable. The stomach can hold quite a bit of food when you stretch your torso out to it's longest, which happens in the standing position. Those sweatpants you get out on holidays? Smart move. Wearing comfortable clothes is an essential part of eating more and remaining comfortable while you do it. Your stomach does, in fact, expand as you eat, and tight shirts and slacks restrict its ability to do some comfortably. If you want to eat more, wear the clothes that will allow it. Monosodium glutamate is a naturally-occurring compound that's artificially added to many foods to give it flavor. One side effect of MSG is that it stimulates insulin response, effectively lowering your blood-sugar levels and making your body think that it needs to eat more to bring those levels back up.  MSG is found in lots of packaged and prepared foods, like ramen noodles, potato and tortilla chips, canned vegetables and soups, and processed meats. MSG is a controversial ingredient, often derided for its connection to obesity and linked by some people to health effects as diverse as chest pains and facial numbness. While studies report that there's no actual connection between the additive and these symptoms, it's still a controversial substance. Aside from the fact that sugary sodas and alcoholic beverages complement meals quite well, the sugars in sodas and...

TL;DR in English: Always eat breakfast. Eat standing up. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. Eat foods that contain monosodium glutamate (MSG). Drink a moderate amount of alcohol or soda with meals. Avoid mustard.

If you have any friends who use tampons, you can ask them for advice. Your friends can answer questions you have on how to insert a tampon and how tampons feel. This can help you decide whether or not you're personally ready to use tampons. Pick friends who are very supportive and non-judgmental. You don't want to talk to someone who would potentially give you a hard time about being unsure about tampons. It might seem awkward to bring up the issue of menstruation with your parents. However, talking it out with your parents can be really helpful. Your mom especially will remember what it was like to begin her period and can help you work through your feelings. It also helps to keep dialogue open with your parents regarding puberty. It's normal to have a lot of questions and your parents can help answer them. If you have older relatives, like an older cousin or aunt, they may be able to give you advice on tampons as well. This can be a great alternative if you want advice from someone a little older and more experienced. If your friends have not started their periods yet, it can also help to talk to seek advice from an adult. If you don't have older female relatives, you can even talk to a friend's mother or a trusted female teacher or school nurse.

The bags under our eyes are caused by fluid retention. Overconsumption of salt leads to this retention, meaning cutting back on the amount of salt in your food can help reduce the puffiness in your eyes.  Lay off the foods that are high in sodium, such as pickles, olives, soup, and fast food. Eat more foods that are high in potassium, such as bananas, avocados, and celery. These foods help balance the sodium in your body. The body holds on to water when you are dehydrated, leading to fluid retention. Upping your water intake can reduce this retention, reducing the bags under your eyes. Aim for eight glasses of water a day (8 ounces each) to keep a healthy hydration level.  Water is gained through food as well. Try upping the amount of fruit and vegetables you eat to supplement your water intake.  You can also stay hydrated by drinking beverages like tea and coffee, which are mostly water. A lack of good rest causes fluid retention and dark shadows under our eyes. Make sure you get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night, depending on your individual needs. Though a lack of sleep contributes to eye bags, sleeping more is not necessarily a cure. If you already get plenty of sleep and still have eye bags, forcing yourself to sleep more will not reduce the puffiness. Leaving face and eye makeup on at night can clog pores, cause acne, and generally prevent your skin from restoring itself overnight. Make sure to wipe off any makeup prior to sleeping for the night to reduce damage to the eyes. Use a moisturizing eye cream overnight to help remove wrinkles and lines associated with puffy bags. Seasonal allergies and sinus problems cause swelling, which can lead to those pesky eye bags and shadows. Talk to your doctor to discuss your allergies and see if there is a treatment option that can help combat the problem.  Over-the-counter decongestant or neti pots can help keep things moving in your sinuses, without the need for a prescription. Stay hydrated! Water will keep those dark circles from appearing, but also...

Your company may have specific procedures to follow in the event that you do not come back from your maternity leave. Some companies may require you to pay them back for any benefits you used while on maternity leave, including short-term disability benefits and health insurance, if you resign while on maternity leave. Make sure you understand if and for how long you will need to return to work in order to retain these benefits. This will vary depending on what kind of maternity leave benefits your company provides, whether you have health insurance through your employer, and what other sources of income your family has. You should also consider the fact that an employer can lay you off immediately after you have given your notice. If you cannot afford to lose your salary and/or benefits before your child arrives, and you think there is a possibility that your employer will lay you off, it may be best for you to wait until you are on maternity leave to give your notice. If you know that you will not be returning to work after maternity leave, waiting until the end of your maternity leave to give your notice may in some cases give you access to more benefits from your employer, but it may also leave your company short-handed. The right decision for you will depend on your personal situation and the kind of company you work for.  If your company offers additional maternity benefits beyond those provided by FMLA and short-term disability, consider that quitting during maternity leave may harm the company financially. Some people even believe that taking advantage of generous maternity benefits when you know ahead of time that you have no intention of returning to work may result in the company's deciding not to offer these benefits to other new parents in the future.  Be prepared for the possibility that your boss and/or coworkers might think you have been taking advantage of benefits, even if you genuinely believed that you would be returning to work when you left on maternity leave. If you decide to give your...

TL;DR in English: Read your company's employee manual. Think about the financial implications. Consider the ethics. Provide appropriate notice. Set a personal deadline.

While some schools have their own application forms and online portals, many participate in common application programs. For each application, enter your name, contact and personal information, activities, and other required details into the appropriate fields.  In the U.S., over 800 schools participate in the Common App program. For schools that accept the Common App, you just need to fill out 1 application form, and you and your guidance can upload your essay, transcript, and letters of recommendation directly onto the website at https://www.commonapp.org.  Outside of the U.S., many nations have 1 universal application that covers all universities. For instance, in the United Kingdom, you’d submit a UCAS application at https://www.ucas.com. If you’re using the Common App, you can simply upload your required documents through the program’s website. For schools that don’t take the Common App, you’ll most likely need to create an account on their website and upload your documents through their application server. Recall that most schools now prefer online submissions. If you prefer to send hard copies and your potential schools accept paper applications, check their admissions websites for mailing addresses. If you’re using the Common App (or another universal application service), log into the website, head to the “Review and Submit” section, and search for a potential school. When you submit your application to that school, you’ll be prompted to pay an application fee, which is typically between $30 and $90 (U.S.).  The payment process is similar if you’re applying to schools that don’t take the Common App. The Common App only takes credit or bank cards. Schools that don’t accept the Common App may accept checks or bank transfers in addition to cards, so double check admissions websites for acceptable payment forms. If application fees are outside of your budget, you can apply for fee waivers through schools' financial aid departments. Ask a parent for help submitting financial information with the waiver...

” This method of speaking will show that you are interested in learning and cooperation, not defensiveness. Finish the sentence with something specific, not something general. Then they know that you are listening. This also makes them feel like they are being heard. Telling a joke or use humor—not to make everyone laugh, but because humor can help diffuse the situation. It will also show that you are not afraid. Make sure you do not cross the line and say something that will offend the person and get you in even more trouble. Everybody likes to hear good things about themselves, so find ways to compliment them. Be kind and respectful, but don't go overboard or they will see through you. Remember, flattery isn't just complimenting, sometimes it's stroking someone's ego and making them feel powerful and in charge. "Wow, you guys get to wear the coolest uniforms. I've always wanted to be a cop when I grew up." If you are in trouble, then they are focusing on making you uncomfortable. When you swing the spotlight back in their direction, it will neutralize the situation and they will not have as much control over you. Again, tread lightly, you just want to shift the conversationally naturally on to them, not suddenly become the accuser. Convince someone that you getting out of trouble is in their benefit. Instead of making it clear what you want—to get out of trouble—use your words to make them feel a perceived self-interest in doing what you want them to.. For example, "I'd hate for you to have to waste your time writing this ticket out, maybe we can work something else out?" Can you find a connection to the person? Maybe you are from the same area, or know the same person, or even know them really well. Use that connection to remind them that you are similar. This will make the person have more empathy for you and will be less likely to want to get you in trouble. You should still deny the main accusation, but studies have found that admitting to a lesser offense are more likely to be believed than someone who...

TL;DR in English: Start sentences with “Yes, I agree that…. Lighten the mood. Flatter them. Shift the conversation from you onto them. Speak to what benefits them. Point out a connection. Admit to a lesser offense.

When attending semi-formal business and social events, you will want to look both creative and sophisticated. These are prime networking environments, and you never know who may want to buy an expensive piece or give you your next job. Look sharp while standing out with a dark green or brown suit or dress. Belts enhance the style of any outfit they're worn with. When sporting an otherwise plain ensemble, a decorative belt and/or an interesting buckle can help you stand out from the crowd. Let others know more about your personal style and artistic interests with this small detail.  Tooled leather is fairly uncommon in modern belts, and wearing a tooled leather belt is a simple way of looking unique. You can pick a belt buckle that holds some significance to either you or your art. For example, if your art frequently has an ocean theme, a buckle with a jellyfish or shark is a good choice. If you work with metal or leather, your belt is a great place to display your talents. Look for pieces that are funky, foreign, expensive or well-made. Jewelry with intricate details or pieces that hearken back to the 80s are also good artistic choices. If a piece is particularly large or wild-looking, it may be best to save it for casual outfits, rather than wear it to something dressier like an art opening.  Just like your belt buckle, your jewelry can reflect your interests and art. For example, if you're interested in astronomy and/or frequently incorporate spacescapes, try finding jewelry that features planets or supernovae. Avoid pieces that look too expensive or ostentatious, even if you didn't pay much for them. It may be harder to sell your work if a potential buyer sees you decked out in gold and diamonds. Artists are famously known to dress more casually than average. However, you want to make sure you don't come off as sloppy or unstylish. If you don't take the time to put creativity into your outfit, some people may doubt the level of creativity you put into your art. Instead, dress down in a deliberate fashion...
