You can prepare rice water with any type of rice, though white, brown, and jasmine rice are common options. If you already own rice, whatever kind of rice you have on hand will work. If you want to make large quantities of rice water, you can increase the amount of rice that you use, as long as you remember to also increase the water. Keep in mind that rice water has a shelf life of 1week. Pour water over the rice and swirl the water to remove dirt. Strain out the rice and return it to the empty bowl. Repeat the steps to wash your rice a second time.

TL;DR in English: Choose your rice. Put 1/2 cup (92.5 g) of rice into a bowl. Wash the rice.

A person who is truly emotionally intelligent will be an adept listener.  Rather than dominating the conversation, cutting people off, or constantly interjecting, you will note that they are thoughtfully engaged in listening to the other person.  Often times, they will summarize what the person has just said to them to signal that they understand and hear them.  You might hear them say things like “so what I’m hearing is that it’s not the job that you don’t like, it’s the miscommunication from the staff that bothers you.” They will also be able to manage any intense emotions that they might feel so that they can communicate clearly. Emotionally intelligent people are typically also highly empathetic.  Empathy is defined as the ability to understand and share the feelings of others.  A person who is empathetic is likely to ask a lot of questions and display curiosity and genuine concern when someone is upset or having an issue.  You will likely see them consoling others when they are crying. People often go to them when they are having an issue and want support.  Notice the people in your circle whom others tend to flock to. Another testament of those with EI is being gracious and thoughtful.  This can be evidenced through both physical actions and verbal responses.  For instance, the person who regularly leaves their trash for others to clean up is likely not emotionally intelligent.  Likewise, the person who constantly talks about how great their significant other is with a coworker who is undergoing a divorce is likely not EI. Someone who is EI will also have good boundaries. They will not try to impose themselves emotionally on other people and they will not take advantage of other people. A person with EI will steer away from gossip and speaking negatively about others, unless necessary.  If you regularly hear them bashing others or notice that they tend to be in the middle of drama, then this person is likely not emotionally intelligent.  EI people tend to be very honest but not unnecessarily blunt....

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to their listening skills. Notice empathy. Pay attention to courtesy and conscientiousness. Assess how they talk about others. Notice how they work and get along with others.

By now, television is one of the most widely used sources to gain general knowledge. Although there is plenty of questionable viewing content on television, there is still plenty of newsworthy and entertaining programming available as a rich resource for information.   Try to stay diverse in watching television by watching news programs such as CNN, public broadcasting (PBS), game shows (Jeopardy), and educational programming (National Geographic) with documentaries, films based on facts, and instructional programming (Food Network) to expand your general knowledge. Watching television is largely a passive exercise that does not require a lot of thinking. So, try to limit the number of hours sitting in front of the television. Search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing enable you to find any answer to any question within seconds. Routinely use these internet sites to discover current news, trends, and topics of interests.   Many of these search engines are one-stop shops for information.

Unlike most essays, a speech is written to be read out loud, and your audience will be more engaged if they feel like you’re having a conversation with them. As you’re writing your introduction, imagine you’re talking to someone and trying to convince them of your point as opposed to writing a research paper. Just make sure your introduction is still authoritative and professional.  To make your writing more conversational, try to use brief sentences, and avoid including jargon unless you need it to make your point. Using contractions, like “I’ll” instead of “I will,” “wouldn’t” instead of “would not,” and “they’re” instead of “they are,” can help make your writing sound more conversational. Being concise is especially important when you’re writing a speech since you want to hold your audience’s attention. Long, convoluted sentences will make your introduction hard to follow, and you risk people tuning out. Make sure you don’t include more sentences than necessary when you’re writing the different components of your speech. Being aware of your audience while you’re writing will help you craft a more persuasive message. As you’re writing the introduction to your speech, think about who will be listening when you deliver it, and use that to help you decide what information and strategy you’ll use. For example, if your audience will be made up of the other students in your college class, including a pop culture reference in your introduction might be an effective way to grab their attention and help them relate to your topic. However, if you’re giving your speech in a more formal setting, a pop culture reference might fall flat. It will be easier to persuade your audience if they feel like they’re having a conversation with you as opposed to listening to a lecture. To help them feel like they’re a part of the conversation, don’t be afraid to reference them or directly speak to them in your introduction.  For example, you could write something like, “I know a lot of you may strongly disagree with me on this....

TL;DR in English: Write in a conversational tone. Be concise when you’re writing your introduction. Tailor your writing to your audience. Connect with your audience. Practice reading your introduction out loud.

Your child may struggle in public places because the other children are strangers. Teaching a simple “Hi, my name is Donny. Do you want to play together?” will go a long way. This is a great thing to role play with their toys. Ask your child to introduce their toys to one another. Once your child feels comfortable with playdates at home, you can begin encouraging socialization at places like parks, playgrounds, and indoor play centers. Trying to involve yourself too much may be stressful for your toddler. Instead, take a seat where you can supervise your toddler. When they are ready, they will approach other children. If your child does start playing with others, keep an eye on them in case there's a fight or they start playing too roughly. If your child gets in an argument, gets upset about something, or feels tired and cranky, it's fine to call it quits and go home. Tell them beforehand, “Once you're tired, let me know, and we can go home.” If your child is reluctant to play in public, giving them an “out” like this can make it seem less scary. At first, they may not want to play for long, but slowly, they'll become more confident. Try to recognize your child's attempts to be social, even if they are rather timid and short-lived at first. They will build confidence and social skills over time. For example, you might say, “I noticed that you asked some other children to play. It looked like you had a great time." When you are in public places with your child, you can be a good social role model by chatting with other parents. Let your child see that it's possible to make new acquaintances. If your child really gets along with a new friend, try to find their parent or guardian. This may be a great opportunity to set up a playdate with someone new!

TL;DR in English: Practice introductions. Take your toddler to places where other children will be. Let your child choose if they play with other children. Allow your child to leave a game at will. Acknowledge your child's efforts to get involved in group activities. Talk to other parents.

Doing exercises will help you learn to sing in different registers, such as the sounds that come from your chest voice and your head voice. Start by picking a sound and singing it in different notes, slowly making your voice higher and stronger. Your chest voice is the lower register, and your head voice is the upper register. Say the word "hey" out loud in a normal voice. Now continue saying hey, hearing the word bounce from your mouth, saying it in a higher voice next time. You can also say "hey" and expand it, turning it into more of a "heeeey." Make sure you're not yelling the word "hey"—it should be as similar to your normal speaking voice as possible. When you say "wheh," the sound bounces off of your nasal pharynx, making your voice sound louder and almost as if it were coming out of your ears. Practice saying "wheh" repeatedly, drawing out the word, until you feel it reverberating next to your nose. " Press your hands to the sides of your core so that you'll be able to feel it move. Make the "ffff" sound and then add a "t" sound at the end, almost as if you're saying "foot" without the 'oo' sound. You should feel your stomach contract when making the 'f' sound and go back out when the 't' sound comes. Draw out the 'f' as you progress to really feel your core being engaged. You can sing "ah aah ah," "hm mmm mm," or any other sound as long as it has three syllables. The second syllable should be sung in a higher note than the first and third, and each time you repeat the whole phrase, go up an octave to really exercise your voice.

Decide between planting in the ground and in a large container. Plant or place your plumeria in a sunny place. Dig a hole or purchase a large terra cotta container for your plant. Mix in fresh soil and high phosphorus fertilizer. Loosen the root ball. Plant the root ball. Water your tree thoroughly. Add mulch or moss.

Start a small flame, using something like a lighter or a small candle. Hold the plastic so that it’s touching the flame, being careful not to burn yourself.  A long neck lighter would be the best and safest option since the flame won’t be near your fingers. You don't need to cut the plastic into smaller sections when holding it in the flame. ABS plastic will produce a yellow flame while other plastics may produce a green, blue, or orange flame. Look for blue edges around the yellow flame, indicating it’s ABS plastic. ABS plastic has a very strong, acrid smell when it burns. If the plastic is giving off a stinging smell that’s irritating to your nose, it could be ABS.  Don’t inhale too much of the fumes when smelling the plastic, as some plastics can be toxic when melted. ABS plastic has also been said to smell rubbery. When you’re holding the plastic in the flame, you should see black smoke if it’s ABS. The air will also have a sooty quality. ABS plastic is one that continues to burn even after the flame is taken away or shut off. Look for drips produced from the fire as well, indicating it’s ABS plastic.

TL;DR in English: Place the plastic against a flame. Observe the color of the flame when the plastic is in the fire. Notice a pungent smell if the plastic is ABS. Look for black smoke coming from the flame. Remove the plastic from the flame to see if it continues burning.

Almost all major airports offer WiFi of some kind, although you might have to pay for access to faster or longer-lasting connections. Look up what access is offered at your airport beforehand so you know what to expect at the terminal. Bring work or study materials to make good use of your free time. Set up shop in a food court if you want to work on a table, or find a gate that’s not in use for a quieter spot to concentrate. Some airports offer small fitness centers, and airports in San Francisco and Dallas/Fort Worth even have yoga rooms.  If a gym isn’t available, do a few simple exercises like pushups, jumping jacks, or squats for a quick pre-flight workout in the terminal.  Make sure your airport gym also has a shower before you start working up a sweat. Most airports will have at least a couple small gift shops, and the bigger ones boast huge malls. Buy last-minute gifts or treat yourself to some new clothes or a book, but make sure your purchases can fit in your carry-on luggage, or ask if the store can ship them to you. Keep an eye out for duty-free shops in international terminals.

TL;DR in English: Hook up to the WiFi. Work remotely. Get some exercise. Shop in the terminal.

Frangipanis prefer to be in the ground but also do well in terra cotta containers.  They go dormant in winter, but cannot withstand frost.  If you live in a place with harsh winters (temperatures below freezing), a container is best so the plant can be moved inside or stored during winter.  Early spring is the best time to plant a frangipanis so it is established and blooming heavily by summer. Plunging, or burying a potted plumeria in the ground, can be done in cooler climates. This way you can keep your plant in the ground, yet still be able to easily move it inside during winter. Choose a spot where it will get at least 6 hours of sun daily. You may also want to plant it somewhere you will be able to enjoy the lovely scent its flowers produce. Great locations include placing them near patios and windows, or beside driveways and walkways.  If you have a patio or deck with outdoor seating, plant your frangipanis nearby so you can see and smell the beautiful blooms all summer. Or, if using a container, find a sunny spot on the deck to keep it.  Their shallow roots make them well suited for planting along pathways and other hardscapes, like pools and water features. Your hole should be as deep as the root ball and three times as wide. It may help to loosen the soil first by digging in with the tip of your shovel several times, wiggling your shovel around each time to break up the dirt. Containers should be at least 40 cm (15¾ inches) in diameter.  Terra cotta pots absorb heat, helping simulate a tropical environment for the roots, and provide good drainage since they are porous. They are also usually top heavy, which will help support the plant as it grows. You can use a plastic pot if you prefer or want a cheaper, decorative option, as long as you If you take special care to use a good quality, well-draining soil. When planting, you may find the soil has poor drainage, like clay or silt, when you dig into it. You will need to mix this with compost or commercial soil made for dry-loving plants before planting....

The sun can work wonders in speeding up drying time while offering an antimicrobial effect for your books. Find a spot outdoors safe from animals and bugs, and place your books in the sun.  This method is best for newer books, as old books can actually be damaged by exposure to sunlight. If you do not have an open area with access to sunlight, find a large, sunny window. With the pages facing the sun, place your book upright, fanning the pages out as much as you can. This will allow the maximum amount of sunlight and warmth to reach your book. The more warmth and sunlight your book receives, the faster it will dry. Make sure the pages do not clump or stick together, as sunlight could encourage already-tacky pages to stick together. Dry your book in this fashion for 2-3 days to eliminate any lingering odors or moisture. The sun will both dry and deodorize your book, while drying the pages will prevent the growth of mold.  To prevent dampness from recurring during the drying period, bring books inside during the night and place them back outside once the sun is shining. If you cannot keep your books safely outside for this period, you can also use a large indoor space with access to a window.

TL;DR in English: Choose a sunny, open area. Place the book open and upright. Dry for 2-3 days.

By creating an acoustically superior workstation, you'll be able to hear the features of the tracks you are listening to with greater detail. This will allow you to draw out the features of your tracks with greater accuracy. One of the most important parts of mixing a song is knowing what to highlight and what to downplay, and being able to hear these features will help. To improve your work space's acoustics:  Be aware of room modes, or how the shape your room can impact the frequencies of your sound. Room modes have been especially known to cause difficulty with low to low-mid frequency sounds playing on your system. Limit bouncing sound waves. As soon as sound leaves your speakers, it will reflect off the hard surfaces in your room, which can influence the stereo and frequency of your sound. Balance your speaker distance from hard surfaces, which can add low frequencies to your sound when too close. Be symmetrical in your set-up. This will allow you to hear the distribution of the sound between speakers most clearly. A DAW is a digital audio workstation, and unless you have a studio at your disposal, it's likely going to be how you mix your music. There are many different kinds of DAW, some free and others costing over $800. Which of these will work best for your situation is a matter of preference. You'll have to look into the features of each DAW, but some popular options are:  Ableton Live Cubase FL Studio 11 Pro Tools The mixer of your audio interface should be as orderly as possible. This will allow you to tweak and adjust your sound without any confusion or error. To save yourself time and improve your efficiency, you should label your tracks according to a system that makes sense to you. For example, you might:  Write out the full name like, "Snare Drum 7" Label according to your own abbreviations, like "SnD7." If you have multiple tracks that you are trying to mix during your session, it can be difficult telling at a glance which track is which. By color coding your tracks according to basic...

TL;DR in English: Optimize your room's acoustics. Find the right DAW for your situation. Label your tracks for recognition. Devise a color code to improve your mix efficiency. Save your ears whenever possible. Clear your mind of distractions.

Purify with salt. Clean crystals with sound. Use smoke. Get some holy water.

It is so easy in today's world to become focused on "me" that we often forget that one of the most rewarding and productive things we can do is to focus on the well-being of others.  When you are helpful to others, even in small, everyday ways, you will find that your overall sense of your own well being will greatly increase and your confidence in the tasks and goals you have before you will be much greater. Greater confidence in yourself and your own abilities results in much higher personal productivity, and, in turn, will help you to become a more serious person. Get involved in local volunteer opportunities. In 2013 alone, over 62 million Americans engaged in some form of volunteer work.   Do you have a soft spot for kids? For old folks? For animals? Maybe you'd like to help maintain trails at a local park, or feed the homeless in a soup kitchen. Volunteer opportunities abound everywhere, especially in urban centers. Even a couple hours a week, or even a month, can help give you a sense of focus and purpose in your life. Volunteering not only makes you feel good about yourself, it connects you with others, increases your social skills, combats depression, and helps keep you healthy. When you do to others as you would have done to yourself, you create a loop of goodwill. This isn't just for morality's sake; the more you show goodwill to others, the more likely they will be to contribute to your own advancement.

TL;DR in English: Be helpful to other human beings. Volunteer. Practice the golden rule.

These events are great for networking. As booths hand out cards to you, don't be afraid to hand one back, though you should try to stay in the same industry.  These shows are even better if you can get your own booth or table. If you do, be sure to have plenty of business cards in plain view on your table. That way, if people like what they see, they can take a card away with them. Don't just think big. Think about what makes sense for your business. For instance, if you own a dog grooming business, it makes sense to visit a dog park and make connections. However, outside of events where networking is expected, it's important to not be too pushy and to respect people's space when asked. While it's always important to respect someone's space, in a social gathering like a dog park, the person may not be expecting a business pitch and may get annoyed if you try to give them a card. If that happens, apologize and walk away. If you just hand someone your business card with no pretense, it's likely going into the trash. You have to actually talk to the person and make a connection.  For instance, if you go up and say, "Hi, here's my business card," that's not likely to work. That's the equivalent of walking up to someone and saying, "Hi, let's go on a date." Instead, introduce yourself, and try to make a connection with the person. You could say, "Hi, I'm Jess Smith. What brings you to this event today?" Any number of openers can get a conversation going. Another one could be, "Hi, I'm Jess Smith. I work for a metal pipe company. What about you?" Everyone likes to talk about themselves. The more you can get the other person talking, the more likely they'll feel like they've really made a connection with you.  You don't need to spend 30 minutes talking to one person, though that would certainly be making a connection. However, you do need to spend several minutes getting to know the person. Ask questions like, "What's your business?" "What's your job like?" or "What do you do for a living?" While you might be...

TL;DR in English: Go to trade shows, networking events, and conventions. Make a personal connection. Focus on them. Don't hand them out indiscriminately. Ask for their business card. Always follow up.

Purifying crystals helps to remove any negative energy that might have attached itself to your crystals. Some people consider salt to be a metaphysical purification tool. To use salt to purify your crystals, you can wash your crystals with salty water, place crystals within a circle of salt, or bury crystals in salt. All of these techniques can help to purify the energy of your crystals.  To use saltwater, dissolve about a teaspoon of salt in lukewarm water and place your crystal in the water. Allow the crystal to sit in the water for a few minutes and then remove it from the water, rinse it with non-salty water, and then dry it off with a towel. To use a salt circle, lay your crystal on a cloth, plate, or other non-permeable surface. Then take a canister of salt and pour enough out around your crystal to create a circle. Allow your crystal to sit within the circle for an hour or more. To bury your crystal in salt, place your crystal into a bowl and then pour enough salt over the crystal to cover the crystal completely. Allow the crystal to remain buried in the salt for an hour or more. Sounds, such as chanting, humming, singing bowls and bells have been thought to purify objects, people and places. By doing one of these things, such as placing a crystal inside a singing bowl when it is rung, it is thought you can clean the crystal. If you do not have a singing bowl, then you can hold your crystal in front of your mouth and hum or sing loudly. The sound of your voice should penetrate the crystal and help to purify it. In many disciplines, the smoke that comes from certain plants when they are burned is thought to have purifying powers. Sage, Santo Palo and Cedar are all considered to have these properties. By bathing the crystal with smoke from the burning of these plants, it is thought that bad energy will be removed.  Try burning some incense or a sage stick and holding your crystal above the smoke. Allow the smoke to surround your crystal for a few minutes to help purify it. Sometimes bird feathers are...

Inform your students about learning support services at your institution. Write a syllabus change policy. Provide a statement about your institution’s add/drop policy, if applicable. Address your institution’s honor code policy. Outline your institution’s emergency procedures, if required.

There is a general formula used to determine FCFE, but within that formula, analysts have a lot of discretion in choosing the inputs as they interpret the data depending on the objective (to determine if the company is healthy, or to check how much cash can be paid to the shareholders). Because FCFE represents the available cash after expenses, payments, and “expenditures needed to sustain production” have been accounted for, you need to decide what you will count as these “expenses.” Consider your own life as an example to help you understand.  For example, if you were to tabulate your personal income over the course of three months, you’d have your quarterly earnings. Now, if we wanted to know your FCFE available at the end of this period, we would begin deducting your expenses from your income. Rent and mortgage payments, debt payments, taxes, and the like are expenses that are certain. If you are to continue operating, you will have to continue paying these, so they need to be accounted for. These items definitely need to be deducted. Sometimes, however, other items that might seem discretionary are as much a part of your earning capabilities as the others. The tricky part begins when we focus on those “expenditures to sustain production”. For example, consider your gym membership. If you’re a dentist, going to the gym is a healthy choice, but it’s probably not vital to your earning potential. However, if you’re a professional bodybuilder, your gym membership is directly tied to your ability to earn money. Failure to maintain this membership would cause you to earn less money. If this is the case, you should account for this expense by deducting it from your salary, leaving less FCFE. It is up to the analyst to determine what expenses and re-investments of capital are needed for a company to maintain and/or drive growth in earnings. Valuing assets is not always entirely straightforward, and the details of how it is calculated may in fact change from asset to asset. Valuation is part data analysis, part...

TL;DR in English: Learn the basics of FCFE calculation inputs. Understand the role of the analyst. Learn the formula for FCFE. Understand when it’s appropriate to use FCFE.

In order to become a better player, you need to learn to play from all the positions. From the net to the back line, you need to get experience all over the court, regardless of your height and your skill set. Even if you're particularly good at one position, play from all over. Have good sportsmanship. Go after every ball, even if you don't think that you can get it. Go for every ball like it's your last hit, giving it your all each and every time you're on the court. If you're in it 110%, everyone else will feel the pressure, too. Soon enough, your entire team will be firing on all cylinders. The game of volleyball relies on good communication and the best team on the court is usually the team talking the most. Call "got" or "mine" really loud to avoid confusion between you and your teammates. Yell whether the ball is in or out. If you see a tip coming let your team know. Your whole squad will benefit from just one person talking. Good volleyball players know that they always need to get better. Learning to take constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement is an important part of improving your play, whether you're on a volleyball team or playing informally with friends. If someone, a coach or a teammate, makes a suggestion, listen openly and try to integrate new ideas into your practice routine. Make it a goal to get better. If you hit a ball out or shank a pass, try to stay positive. Just move on and focus on the next serve. Volleyball is a mental sport and by getting down, you will greatly impact your game in a negative way. Stay focused and intent on winning. Find the zone and stay there. When your teammates see you playing with intensity and poise, it'll rub off on everyone and improve the team as a group.  Be alert, even if you are winning with a 10-point lead, the game could easily turn around with a good server. Focus on seeing a game through till the end and not changing your focus until the job is done. Be a good sportsperson. Know that even if you don't win, you can always play another...

TL;DR in English: Practice from different positions. Hustle. Communicate with your teammates. Be coachable. Be a mentally tenacious player. Encourage your teammates.

Your institution (secondary or post-secondary) may offer learning support services to students. These support services are often intended to promote student success and may be available to students with or without disabilities.  Let your students know that they do not have to have a disability to take advantage of some learning support services. If your institution has a learning resource center, mention it in your syllabus. Your institution might require you to include language about learning support services – check with your administrators. One important section to include is a syllabus change policy. A syllabus change policy will let students know that you have the right to change the syllabus throughout the term of the course with advance notice given to students.  Your syllabus change policy covers schedule of topics, lectures, assignments, and readings. Most institutions will require you to note that you may not make changes that substantially affect how a student will be evaluated during the course. Post-secondary institutions may require you to add language about their withdrawal or add/drop policy. The add/drop policy will let students know when they can drop the class without academic penalty.  Include the last day they can drop your course without penalty. Include any other relevant information about your institution’s add/drop or withdrawal policy. Consider including language about your institution’s first day attendance policy. If you’re at a college or university, they may require students to attend class on the first day or otherwise be dropped from the course. Most educational institutions will require that you include a cheating or plagiarism statement that addresses their honor code policy. In this event, your institution will provide you with a copy of their honor code.  They may even provide you with a boilerplate section to add to your syllabus. You may need to include the honor code in full in your syllabus. You may need to summarize the honor code in your syllabus. You may be required...

A neti pot is a device that resembles a small teapot. Used correctly, a neti pot flushes out mucus and trapped irritants, and moisturizes your sinus passages.  The device works by putting saline or distilled water in one nostril and allowing it to drain out the other, removing unwanted irritants and germs. Fill the neti pot with about 4 ounces of saline solution, then lean over a sink, turning your head sideways and hold the spout up to the upper nostril. Tip the pot to fill the nostril and let it run out the other nostril. Repeat the procedure using the other nostril. This process is called irrigation since you are flushing out the passages with a liquid to get rid of unwanted mucus and irritants that are causing the mucus. Use your neti pot once or twice daily. Neti pots provide a moisturizing and soothing effect to the sinuses. A neti pot can be purchased inexpensively over-the-counter. Be sure to clean your neti pot thoroughly after each use. If you choose to make your own saline solution, use distilled or sterile water. You can also use water that has been boiled then set aside to cool. Do not use water straight from the tap since it can contain contaminants and irritants.  Using 8 ounces of water, add ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon of baking soda. Do not use regular table salt. Mix thoroughly then use the solution in your neti pot. You can store the solution for up to five days in a sealed container, preferably refrigerated.

When it comes to dressing during pregnancy, comfort and style are key. What feels right in week 9 may feel downright wrong by week 14.  What perfectly flatters your curves during the second trimester may become rather indecent by the tail end of your pregnancy. Buy the right size for your changing body. Do not buy larger clothes then you need unless you like how they look. Purchase clothing designed for maternity wear when you start to show if you wish. This clothing will be built for greater comfort, and it’s usually a better idea than purchasing regular clothing in bigger sizes. If cost is an issue, check thrift stores. You can usually wear regular clothes for the first three months. Avoid the temptation to just buy much larger clothes unless you want to. The problem with just buying larger clothes is it can make you look, well, larger. Maternity clothes will be fitted in the right places while allowing room for the bump, so they can help you retain a sense of shape. Different people carry their babies different ways. Some people have high pregnancies, for example, and some people carry the baby lower.  For those carrying their babies low, clothing that’s soft on the waistline will be more comfortable. Shirts cut below the bump can look attractive. If you’re carrying high, you can try to create a line between the breasts and bump by adding high belts and ties. Don’t give up. Just because you’re pregnant, doesn’t mean you can’t retain your typical style. You don’t always have to go for the sweatpants, either. In the first trimester, the challenge for many is to keep the pregnancy under wraps. Many people don't want to divulge their growing secret until at least the second trimester. Thus, you can usually stick to non-maternity clothing for the first three months.  What to do: Go into your closet and put aside anything that feels too tight or clingy. Stick with silhouettes that flow over belly, hips, and thighs that can camouflage the few pounds you may gain in the first months. Wear soft knits, A-line...

TL;DR in English: Dress differently depending on pregnancy stage. Know your body type and shape. Dress for the first trimester. Dress for the second trimester. Dress for the final trimester. Consider buying one of those stretchy bands.

Bruises go through a cycle of trauma and healing.  Each part of this cycle reflects different colors and intensity.  A new bruise is dark red due to the blood pooling under the skin. Next the bruise begins to loose iron and purples. As the bruise begins to heal, it will green around the edges. Before the bruise fades, it will develop yellow spreading across the skin. Lastly, the bruise fades back into regular skin color. There are several brands of stage makeup which range from inexpensive Halloween makeup to professional stage makeup.  The most popular brand of makeup used for theater is Ben Nye.  Mehron and Ben Nye both offer a product called a “Bruise Wheel.” The colors you will want for your bruise are red, purple, yellow, green, and blue. Choose darker, duller tones like maroon, mustard and olive.

Talk about how excited you are for homecoming. Mention that you are available. Ask him about his homecoming plans. Plant the idea in his mind. Write "anonymous" notes.

Rather than cutting them into slices, you might decide to leave them in a larger size to give them more of a presence in the dish you’re cooking. In this case, you can slice the whole mushroom down the middle once to half it and call it a day. If you need it to be smaller still, cutting the halves in half will give you nice chunky quarters. Use mushroom halves or quarters in more substantial side dishes like bourbon mushrooms or vegetable medleys. Once your cutting board is covered with mushroom quarters or slices, you can proceed to reduce them to a more manageable size by cutting them widthwise, then rotating them 90 degrees and slicing them again. Chopped mushrooms are the perfect size to throw in a pot of soup or a hearty casserole.  You also have the option of stopping after a single cut if you prefer bigger pieces. Keep in mind that mushrooms shrink quite a bit as they cook, so avoid chopping them too small if you don’t want them to disappear completely. Turn the mushrooms 1 more time and cut them into even smaller pieces. When fine-dicing or mincing, keep the blade of the knife in contact with the cutting board and raise and lower the rear edge of the blade repeatedly in a lever action. Continue cutting the mushrooms until they’re the desired size.  You may have to dig out the bulkier pieces and tackle them individually, as the mushrooms’ irregular shape will mean that some will be bigger than others. Stuff diced mushrooms into homemade egg rolls or samosas, or sprinkle them over a fresh garden salad.

TL;DR in English: Cut the mushrooms into halves or quarters. Turn the mushrooms for a coarse chop. Dice or mince the chopped mushrooms. Finished.

In broad terms, fundamental analysis is the study of all the external factors that can change the price of an asset. It looks at geo-political news like conflicts, elections, growth reports, employment, interest rate changes, etc. to then “ride the market's movement” and hopefully profit. It requires research – reading the news, studying world events, knowing the underlying trends in the markets you're trading, and the real situation on the ground as much as possible.  For example, if you're trading on the release of employment data in Canada, you can't go off of predictions that it will, for instance, rise. You also need to look at the types of jobs that were added, how many hours workers put in, who's getting the jobs, etc. These will help you assess whether the price of the underlying asset – employment – rises or falls. Employment might rise, but the trading price may go down because of these other factors. Technical analysis involves using tools – typically graphical charts – to pull together statistics on a) trends such as new highs and lows for specific issues (stocks, commodities or currencies), b) the speed at which an asset's price rises or falls, which represents momentum, c) the volume and number of both declining and rising issues, and d) whether an asset is trading either above or below average, which indicates volatility.  Typically it involves looking at this all from a historical perspective to make predictions about future trends.   The underlying suppositions in technical analysis are: the price of an asset is a reflection of all you need to know about that market; prices move according to trends; and history repeats itself. It's concerned with internal factors – price and past performance. Look at the New York Stock Exchange's advance-decline breadth indicator, the Arm's Index and the Trader's Short-Term Index when examining market movement over time.  Use these indicators for trends in high and lows: Moving Averages and Parabolic SAR (stop and reverse). Examine the Relative Strength Index...

TL;DR in English: Analyze markets through fundamental analysis. Utilize technical analysis. Examine market sentiment. Sniff out fear. Trade on volatility. Consider the ask size when trading. Take advantage of the knock-off effect. Hedge existing positions.

Do not bring it up during every conversation, but mentioning it every other day or so should get the point across. Mention how eager you are to attend. Talk about all the little details involved, including the way your outfit looks and what you plan on wearing with it or, if you do not have an outfit yet, the sort of outfit you would like to wear. Also make sure to talk about how fun you think homecoming will be. Some examples of things you can say include: "I can't wait to see all my friends in their dresses," "I wonder what kind of music they'll play at homecoming," and "I can just tell that this homecoming is going to be memorable." When you talk about homecoming, make sure your crush knows that you are currently dateless. Along with mentioning how eager you are for homecoming to come, mention that you do not have anyone to go with yet or that you are only planning on going with your friends "so far." Use terminology like "so far" to suggest that you are open to the idea of going with a date rather than your group of friends.   Avoid saying anything desperate, though, like "I don't know what I'll do if no one asks me to go." Instead, keep the statements positive. You can say something like "I can't wait until homecoming. I wonder who I'll go with," or "So far I've just got plans to go with my friends. We've been talking about it non-stop." If the guy you have your eye on already has a date for homecoming, no amount of hint-dropping will make him ask you. Find out if your guy is available or a lost cause by asking about his homecoming plans. Do not blurt out the question, "Do you have a homecoming date?" Instead, as you are casually talking about your own plans, slip in a question about whether or not he plans to go or if he is looking forward to it. You can say something like "My friends and I have already planned out what we're going to do before homecoming. What about you?" As he begins talking more about homecoming, you can gradually ease the information out of him. If you find out that your crush is...

Use a clean dishcloth to scrub the jars and lids with dish soap and warm water. This is especially important if the jars have been used previously, but it should be done even if the jars have never been used. Boil a large stockpot of water on the stove over high heat. After the water reaches a rolling boil, carefully lower the jars inside the pot using jar tongs. Do not let the jars bump into each other, as this could lead to chips or cracks forming. Allow the jars to sterilize in the hot water for 10 to 15 minutes before carefully removing them with jar tongs. The lids also need to be sterilized before use, but some canning lids should not be boiled in water prior to the canning process. To be on the safe side, heat water in a small pot to a boil, reducing the heat before it reaches a rolling boil so that it just barely sits at a simmer. Use jar tongs to place the lids into the hot water and remove the lids with your tongs after 5 minutes pass. The jars and lids should still be warm when canning the peppers. As a result, instead of allowing them to air dry, dry the supplies quicker by using a clean, dry dish towel or paper towels.

TL;DR in English: Wash the jars and lids. Use boiling water to sterilize the jars. Sterilize the lids separately. Dry your jars and lids.

An organic label means that the food was grown or raised without the use of synthetic chemicals (but there are exceptions).  Lots of people confuse sustainable agriculture with organic farming. Both are aimed at using more ecologically sensible practices, but they are judged by a distinct set of standards. Organic farming, especially when carried out on a large, industrial scale, can still damage the environment and threaten public health in a variety of ways: Ecosystems can still be ruined by widespread monoculture; pesticides can still be applied; soils can still be depleted of nutrients and organic matter; pollution can still be created; and exorbitant amounts of fossil fuels can still be spent (and wasted), all under an organic label. Farming a single area so that it produces food indefinitely. In order to move in this direction, a farm has to:  avoid irreversible changes to the land (for example, erosion) withdraw no resources from the environment that cannot be replenished (for example, not using more water than can be replaced regularly by rainfall) produce enough income to remain on a farm in face of worldwide farm consolidation and infrastructure development Determine where your resources come from and whether you're taking more than can be replaced, either through natural processes or your own practices.  Where are your resources and inputs coming from? Think specifically about water, energy, soil amendments, and feed (if you have livestock). Also think about long-term, capital investments, such as structural building materials, tools, etc. Keep in mind that no farm is an island: complete self-sufficiency is not a requirement of sustainable agriculture. Long-term stability and productivity is. The more renewable and varied your resources are, the longer your farm will last.

People often empty their pockets in their bedroom, which means under your bed and bedside furniture is a great first place to look. Of course, sofa cushions and chair cushions are another great place for loose change to be found. Check under and around all the furniture in your house. Don't forget about your washing machine and dryer. People often leave money in their clothes on accident and then wash them, leaving coins and cash in and around the washing machine and dryer. It's no strange occurrence to occasionally find money in the pair of pants you're wearing that you had completely forgotten about. So do yourself a favor and seek out all the forgotten money now. Go through all your pants and jacket pockets for money. And while you're at it, go through any purses and bags you use as well. Anywhere you sit down regularly is a prime location to look for lost change. Make a sweep through your car, under the seats and in the seat cushions. Coins tend to collect in places that are frequented often but never thoroughly looked through.

If you jump your parents to ask them about getting a profile right when they come home for work or first thing in the morning, they’re going to feel ambushed and will be more likely to say no. Increase your chances of getting them to let you have a profile by asking them when they’re relaxing at home.  Don’t try to make your parents happy right before you talk to them. This will come off as manipulative and make them suspicious that you want something you shouldn’t have. Talk to both of your parents at the same time. If you broach the subject with one of your parents when the other parent isn’t around, they’re more likely to say “I need to talk about this with mom/dad first.” Present your case in a calm tone, and take a breath between each sentence to create the impression that you’ve taken the time to think through your argument. Don’t raise your voice as you speak, and avoid saying “um” or “uh” in between points.Showing them that you’re mature and capable of building a good argument is an important part of leaning them in the right direction. Remember to listen to your parents’ counterarguments carefully before responding. You don’t want to come off as impulsive and easily-rattled. Offer to keep personal information and photos off of your Facebook profile by using a fake name, birthday, and setting your profile picture to something else. Cartoons, art, cars, or video game characters all make excellent replacements for a profile photo, and can serve as a way to show your friends what you’re interested in. One easy way to convince them is to offer to make your profile private. You can change the privacy settings in a Facebook profile by clicking “Settings” at the top of a Facebook home page. Then click “Privacy” and set each profile setting to “Private” or “Friends Only.”  If your profile is private and your posts are set to “Friends Only,” people won’t be able to see or interact with your profile or posts unless they’re friends with you. Making your profile private will keep you from coming up in searches...

Offer to make your profile private and unsearchable. Explain that you will only add people that you know in real life. Agree to show them your profile whenever they want. Promise to limit the amount of time you spend on social media. Show them how to set up parental controls on Facebook. Don’t get frustrated if you don’t get what you want.

Surgical "debridement" refers to a "cleaning out" of the joint. Your surgeon will remove any scar tissue and damaged areas, as well as any other debris found in your joint. She will then reconstruct or replace the worn out surfaces in your joint as needed. Surgery on a joint can most often be done laparoscopically. What this means is that only a few small incisions will be made, and the surgeon will then use cameras inside your joint and small tools to clean the joint and to make repairs and replacements as needed. All surgery comes with certain risks, such as the risk of infection, the risk of causing further damage to the structures in your joint, and the risk of bleeding. However, these complications are very rare, and the benefits of surgery tend to far exceed the risks. On average, surgical repair of a joint with post-traumatic arthritis leads to very good results. Most people experience a reduction in pain, and perhaps even complete resolution of their pain. However, it usually takes a few months to completely recover from surgery and to regain function in the affected joint. You will need to be persistent and dedicated throughout the recovery process.  There will be discomfort initially following surgery. You can ask your physician about which pain medications to use to help control the post-surgical pain in the initial stages following the procedure. Some people need to use crutches, a cane, a walker, or a sling temporarily while the affected joint heals. You will likely be referred to a physiotherapist for a formal rehabilitation program following surgery on your injured joint.

TL;DR in English: Have your joint surgically debrided and reconstructed. Understand the risks of surgery. Be aware of the expected recovery time.

One way to find pearls is to eat oysters in restaurants. It is unusual to find a pearl in a restaurant oyster, especially one of high value. The odds are definitely stacked against you with this method, though it can be done. In fact, edible varieties of oysters generally produce a different type of "pearl" than pearl oysters, but true pearls have very occasionally been found by diners.  You don't just have to order oysters on the half shell. Any dish with oysters in it is fair game. You can also try buying oysters to eat at home from a fish market. To shuck an oyster at home, place the slit face up. Insert a table knife in one end of the slit, pushing downward slightly and moving across the opening. Pull the oyster open to look for a pearl. If it doesn't have one, you can still enjoy the oyster. Most pearls found in edible oysters aren't worth much or anything. They are usually misshapen and especially hard. However, be on the lookout for round pearls. If it is colorful, such as purple or orange, it can be worth a lot more.  Pearls can come in all sorts of colors, such as blue, purple, orange, white, pink, green, and black. They can be round, oblong, egg-shaped, or irregularly shaped.  However, most edible oysters will produce something closer to a pebble than a pearl. If you feel something hard when eating oysters, try not to chomp down on it. For one, as noted, most pearls found in edible oysters are especially hard and could crack one of your teeth. In addition, you don't want to swallow it. Pull it out of your mouth immediately. If it looks round, smooth, and lustrous, have it appraised at a jeweler's. Some companies sell pearl oysters that can be shipped directly to your home. These companies generally guarantee that you will have an oyster with a pearl in it.

Talk to your obstetrician about your history of eating disorders. Talk to your obstetrician about any medications you are taking. Let your obstetrician weigh you without seeing the result yourself. Visit a therapist to treat your eating disorder. See a registered dietitian for nutritional support. Ask your obstetrician about what will happen if your disorder does not improve.

It doesn’t need to be freshly washed. As you need it to hold curls and pins, you might even find that it helps if it’s a day or two after being washed. Keep in mind that you’ll want your hair to have volume, so if it’s oily and flat, you may want to either dry it out with a spray shampoo, or, if you do end up washing and drying it, use a volumizing spray. Using a comb, mark out a straight side part and comb your hair so that it falls neatly on either side of the part. This will really depend upon how much hair you have. Maintaining the side part, use a comb and hair clips to section off your hair in a way that facilitates the most curls. The more curls, the better! Starting with the back, bottom sections of your hair, go around your head with a 1- or 1.5-inch curling iron or wand and curl roughly 1- to 2-inch sections of hair, alternating between curling your hair towards and away from your face. ” For the section of hair at the front of the larger side of your part, pull it up and wrap it around the curling wand. If you have shorter bangs, you’ll simply brush them sideways towards the larger side of your parted hair. What you do will depend on the length of your hair/bangs, but ultimately you want to try to incorporate them into the rest of your hair on the larger side part. This will help to break up the curls and make them look a bit more like soft curls/a natural wave. If you find that your hair looks frizzy, add a small amount of shine serum to your hands before running your fingers through your hair. To make a more voluminous-looking bob, tease your hair lightly. This will also help bring it up a bit more if it’s quite long. To tease your hair, gently hold a chunk of your hair above your head (being careful not to ruin the curl) and back-comb it (brush it downwards, from the end towards your scalp) with a teasing brush. You can also tease your hair with a fine-toothed comb, but some stylists say that this is more damaging than using a proper teasing brush. Once all of your hair is curled, spray it with...

If you see a tiger that may have escaped captivity, do not assume it is docile or friendly towards humans.  Tigers that have been captive will be agitated in unfamiliar environments, and are especially likely to attack. Leave your possessions behind as you walk away, as these may momentarily distract a curious tiger.  If you cannot vacate the area entirely, attempt to hide.  Tigers are not as capable of climbing as are some other jungle cats, so climb a tree until you can escape. Once you've hidden, you may attempt to distract the tiger by throwing things away from you to lead them in that direction.  However, use extreme caution in doing so, as you're probably more likely to attract attention to your hiding spot.  As such, it is better to throw stuff off of your path before you hide. Never antagonize a tiger or large animal of any type.  Tigers, in particular, respond to aggression with aggression and will defend themselves by attacking. Do not throw anything at a tiger or attempt to hit it with something.  In the event that you are attacking a tiger in order to distract it from mauling someone else, use whatever you have to strike the tiger as hard as you can. Keep shouting at the tiger, both to intimidate it and to distract it from its victim. While an old or injured tiger may seem feeble or in need of your help, they may actually be especially dangerous.  Even if a tiger is in poor health, it should be treated with extreme caution.  In the wild, you’re actually more likely to see a tiger in poor health, as tigers that are unable to hunt as well as they are when healthy will seek out easily accessible prey, such as livestock. This will bring them into closer proximity to humans than tigers are usually comfortable with. No matter how tempting it may be or how cute they may look, you should never interact with a young tiger. Tiger mothers are ferociously protective of their young and will readily come to their defense if they feel they are threatened in any way. Do not approach or attempt to interact with a...

TL;DR in English: Avoid approaching an escaped tiger. Attempt to distract the tiger and hide. Do not antagonize a tiger in any way. Give old or injured tigers a wide berth. Leave cubs alone.

Resist the urge to conceal your condition, even if you feel embarrassed or ashamed. Your obstetrician is one of your best resources during this time.  Sometimes, eating disorders, such as bulimia or anorexia, can develop for the first time when you are pregnant. If you do not have a history of eating disorders but are worried about your weight or eating habits, tell your obstetrician. Typically, during pregnancy you may visit your obstetrician once every 2-4 weeks. If you have a history of eating disorders, however, you may be asked to make more frequent appointments. Ask your obstetrician if it is safe to continue taking your medication. In most cases, your obstetrician will advise you to continue your antidepressants, although you may need to consult with your primary care doctor or psychiatrist to adjust the dose. If you are using laxatives, diuretics, or appetite suppressants to purge or lose weight, tell your doctor immediately. These can be dangerous during pregnancy, and your doctor will help you stop. Your obstetrician will need to weigh you, but you do not have to know your weight. Ask your obstetrician to weigh you without telling or showing you the result. They may simply say if you are gaining weight at a healthy rate or not.  Remember, pregnancy is temporary, and gaining weight is necessary for your baby’s health. Talk to your doctor about your weight gain goals, and do your best to follow their recommendations. If you started your pregnancy at a healthy weight, you will need to gain around 25–35 pounds (11–16 kg) by the time you deliver. If you were underweight, you may need to gain more, and if you were overweight, you may be able to gain less. Avoid weighing yourself at home. This may cause you to obsess over your weight gain. If you are not already receiving counseling for your eating disorder, now is a good time to begin. Your obstetrician or primary care doctor can refer you to a specialist who can guide you through the process of recovery. Women who experience eating disorders tend to have...

Once you have been voted into the church and no longer need to live with a host family, you may look for a place of your own. Most Amish live in farmhouses surrounded by land that can be used for growing crops and raising animals, as the Amish try to be as self-sufficient as possible.  Unfortunately, available farmland is becoming harder to find, due to urban sprawl, high demand for land from an ever-growing Amish community (even though new people rarely join, the average Amish family has seven children) and prohibitively high costs.  You will also need to keep in mind that your home will need to be close enough to the center of the community that it can be reached by horse and buggy, the major method of transportation. This will limit you to about a 10–15 mile (16–24 km) radius. Pennsylvania Dutch is a dialect of German, which is widely spoken by the Amish community. It is the main language spoken in the home and at Church, although Amish children do learn to speak English in school. Pennsylvania Dutch is primarily a spoken language, with no standardized form of writing or spelling, and must be learned to become fully immersed in the Amish community.  As a newcomer to the Amish community, learning to speak the new language will be difficult, but not impossible. You will pick it up just by listening to others, attending Church services and by making an effort to speak it whenever you get the opportunity. It may also be possible to hire a Pennsylvania Dutch tutor who can help you to improve at a faster pace.  The term "Pennsylvania Dutch" is a misnomer, as the language has no association with the Netherlands. It is, in fact, a dialect of German that was spoken in parts of Switzerland, Tyrol, and the Rhineland. It is believed the term "Dutch" comes from an archaic form of English, which referred to any continental Germanic language. The Amish aim to live a life of simplicity, unfettered by the materialistic trappings of the modern world. However, learning to live without modern comforts can be quite a challenge...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a house and some farmland, if possible. Learn Pennsylvania Dutch. Learn to live without modern comforts. Get a horse and buggy. Learn to dress appropriately. Avoid being photographed. Participate in a barn raising.

One of the best features of a brown sport coat is its versatility. They don’t need to be worn with matching pants; many are intended for use in less formal outfits. They can even be worn with a pair of well-cut blue jeans.  Darker denim washes tend to look better with light brown sport coats, while lighter denim matches well with either tan or dark brown options. For the especially bold, consider pairing colorful slacks with a brown suit coat. Coral or salmon shades will go especially well. You don’t always have to wear a button up shirt beneath sport coats. Even a well-fit white or black t-shirt can work well. Grey can work too, especially as a thicker long sleeve. One good “dressed-down” look packs plenty of stylish punch: all black with a brown sport coat. Lightweight sweaters or knit shirts can look great beneath a brown sport coat. Wear them without a collared shirt beneath.  Either crew necks or v-neck options are fine.  A different shade of brown can look particularly good, such as a tan sweater beneath a dark brown sport coat. Shades of green will work well in layers too, particularly those that have undertones similar to those of brown, such as olive or dark green.

TL;DR in English:


Listen to the person's speech. Observe the person's movements. Note unusual or shifting energy. Keep an eye out for unusual actions.

You need to know how much money you’re after. If you need a small amount, you might only seek out one investor. However, if you need a lot of capital, then you’ll need to know that as well. Calculate how much money you need for your small business.  Also consider how much of your equity you are willing to give up in return. Investors don’t give loans. Instead, they take a share of ownership in exchange for money. You’ll need to come up with something reasonable.  For example, if your business is worth $100,000 and you want $25,000, then you’ll need to give up around 25% of the business’ equity. Your investors will want to see your business plan, which you should have already created if you are an existing business. The plan will identify your market, competitors, and include financial projections for five years.  Update the financial information so that it is current. You should also bulk up the executive summary to your plan. Investors often will skip other parts but focus on the summary, so spend extra time on it.  Make the business plan colorful and include graphics so that the information is easy to digest. You need to know whether a potential investor will be interested in your business. Many investors focus on only certain industries, so you’ll save yourself time if you figure out ahead of time their focus.  Look online to check what businesses they have invested in. Look at their LinkedIn profile to see if you know people in common. If so, ask whether the investor might be interested in your business. There’s no one way to reach out to an investor. If someone recommended the investor to you, then mention the recommender’s name in your email or when you call. Alternately, you can send your email to the recommender, and they can then forward it on to the investor.  In the body of your email, clearly communicate what you do. Mention the age of your business. Are you a start-up? Have you been in business for ten years? Identify any other investors you have worked with. For example, an investor might have...

TL;DR in English: Run the numbers. Update your business plan. Research the investor. Ask for a meeting. Know your story. Prepare for common questions. Get help from a Small Business Development Center.

If you're enjoying working with clay and want to extend your skills, consider attending a local pottery class. Many schools or community centers offer night classes for all ability levels. There is also an abundance of online videos that can help you improve. Try searching YouTube for "Clay sculpting techniques".

TL;DR in English: Improve yourself by watching videos or attending a pottery class.

Someone who is high may speak too much or too quickly, or may have problems speaking. Someone who slurs words but does not smell like alcohol might be high. If the person you are speaking with appears to have difficulty concentrating or following the conversation, or if her thinking is unusually paranoid, deluded, or panicked, she might be high. A high person might react slowly, or might be nonreactive to surrounding people and things. If someone appears not to experience pain, he might be high. Physical coordination that seems to be rapidly deteriorating is a sign of drug use.  Someone moving as if he is drunk, but without the smell of alcohol, is possibly high. A drunk person who seems to be unusually impaired might also have taken drugs or have been drugged. Depending on the drug, a high person might be euphoric, relaxed, anxious and agitated, exhilarated, overconfident, or aggressive. Look for an unusual intensity of mood, or a quickly changing mood. If you know someone well, and she is behaving in an uncharacteristic way, that could be a sign of drug use. Sleeplessness and restlessness can be signs that someone is high, as can drowsiness. If you cannot rouse a "sleepy" person, she might have passed out and need medical attention. If you know someone well, you can tell if he is exhibiting unusually high sociability, lack of inhibition, poor judgment, or an increased or decreased appetite or sex drive. Inappropriate laughter and intense snacking are common signs of marijuana use.  Someone high on a harder drug might hallucinate, seeing or sensing things that are not there. Delirious, psychotic, or violent behavior all might be caused by drug use. Some drugged people appear to have undergone a total personality change.

TL;DR in English:


The main reason to post while riding is to avoid being jostled around in the saddle during a particularly bumpy gait - the trot. This makes things more comfortable for the rider and is easier on the horse's back.  Once you become more experienced with the rising trot, it is also possible to change the horse's rhythm simply by posting more quickly or slowly. The horse will alter his rhythm to match with your own, thus sometimes eliminating the need for hand and leg signals. Urge your horse into a steady forward trot. Now, pay attention to the horse's strides - notice how the trot has two beats? Good. This will help you to understand how posting works.  During a trot, the horse's left hind leg and right front leg (which are diagonal to one another) move simultaneously, and vice versa. This is what riders are talking about when they refer to "diagonals" - the simultaneous movement of diagonal front and back legs. These diagonals will greatly influence your rising trot. When performed correctly, the rider will rise from his/her seat when the inside hind leg and outside front leg are moving forward and sit when the outside hind leg and inside front leg are moving forward. The reason for this is because the horse's inside hind leg is the one which propels him forward. Rising out of your seat while this leg is in motion will encourage the horse to stretch the leg further under his body, and therefore producing a more effective stride. At first, it can be difficult to tell which diagonal your horse is on. A good trick is to watch your horse's outside shoulder. You should rise out of your seat as his shoulder moves forward and sit back down as it moves back. If the movement is difficult to pinpoint, stick a bandage or piece of colored tape on the horse's shoulder. This makes the movement easier to see. Once you start posting your legs will likely be sore, but you'll gain more thigh muscles over time.

TL;DR in English: Understand why posting is done. Understand diagonals. Realize that posting should be done using your thigh muscles, not your legs.

Both acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) will help bring down your fever. Even bringing your fever down a degree or two will help make you feel a bit better. These medications are also pain relievers, which can help with pain related to sore throat and muscle ache from the cold or flu. Always use acetaminophen or ibuprofen in children. Aspirin can lead to a life-threatening condition called Reye’s syndrome. If your cold or flu includes congestion, then you can also take an OTC decongestant to help. Many OTC fever reducers have cold and flu variants that include additional medicine for cough and congestion. Take as directed and do not combine medicines or take any medicine longer than directed. If you prefer to stay away from a medication, you can also try saline drops and sprays, which are also a better option for young children since they’re just salt water. Always use as directed. An easy, safe way to help soothe a sore throat from a cold or flu is to gargle with warm salt water. Dissolve half a teaspoon in 8 ounces of warm water, hold a small amount of the solution at the back of your throat and gargle for thirty seconds. This is safe to repeat as needed. Never swallow the solution since drinking salt water isn’t safe. If using this method with a child, make sure he or she can gargle without choking as well. Drinking plenty of water helps for several reasons. Plenty of liquids will help thin the congestion-causing mucus, moisten and soothe your sore throat, and prevent dehydration if your flu symptoms include vomiting.  If you have a “stomach flu” that includes vomiting and diarrhea, stick to water and sports drinks (such as Gatorade) to help replace lost electrolytes. For young children, use specific fluid and electrolyte replacement options (such as Pedialyte) instead of sports drinks.  For a cold, you can also drink juice and clear broth in addition to the above options.  Men should aim for 13 cups of water each day, whereas women should aim to drink nine. You should avoid both...

TL;DR in English: Take an over-the-counter (OTC) medication. Take a decongestant. Gargle with warm salt water. Hydrate. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Get additional rest. Take a hot shower. Use a vaporizer or humidifier. Take OTC throat sprays or cough drops. Avoid smoking and other throat irritants.

Keep your alpha man interested by having your own interests and goals outside of him. You’ll both have more to talk about at the end of the day if you’re busy pursuing your own career or hobbies. If anyone tries to keep you from pursuing your own interests, remove yourself from the situation and find someone who will appreciate your independence. Most alpha males need time every so often to hang out with their friends or to pursue their hobbies. Show him that you appreciate who he is by encouraging him to do these things.  If he loves to fish, ask him if he'd like to take the weekend to go on a fishing trip while you visit your family. If you know his friends have a poker night on Thursdays, consider taking a class on Thursday nights. That way, he can still enjoy his time with his friends, and you won't be sitting at home waiting for him. An alpha male can run the risk of feeling like he’s alone at the top of the pack. Let him know it’s you and him against the world by offering a supportive shoulder whenever he’s feeling stressed.  If you know he’s had a long day, call and order his favorite take-out and make some time for just the two of you. Try saying something like, “I know you had a big meeting today. How did it go?” A lot of alpha males are used to strutting through life without ever being challenged. If you feel like he’s wrong, let him know. He might be surprised at first but he’ll respect you more in the long run.  Try not to challenge him in front of other people. No one likes to feel embarrassed, especially alpha males. Wait until the two of you are alone to talk about something you didn’t like. You might say something like, “I know you were annoyed that the food took a long time to come out, but I didn’t like that you were rude to our waiter.” When you're ready to take your relationship to the next level, don't assume that he will automatically know. Specifically tell him that you like him and you're interested in being exclusive with each other.  If he agrees to a committed relationship, set...

TL;DR in English: Focus on your own goals. Encourage him to be independent. Be supportive. Challenge him when he needs it. Ask him for a commitment.

When it comes to compatibility, the most important thing is that you feel united in some way. It might be that you spend your free time in similar ways, share a hobby, or just enjoy being together. When you think about your partner, consider what items you want to connect on. Whether you both love camping or both already have children, make sure there’s at least one thing you can bond over with your potential spouse. Perhaps similar beliefs unite you or you both value family. Everyone has a different way of approaching problems in a relationship. Some people get angry and yell, others avoid, and still others handle conflict as it arises and compromise. It matters little which style you and your partner have, but more whether both of your styles are similar.  Think about how you tend to approach conflict and find a man who has a similar or complementary approach. Even if his style is different than yours, you both should work well together to resolve conflict. Resolving conflicts can help you understand each other better and not hold resentment toward each other. If religion matters greatly to you, find a partner who shares your beliefs. Marrying someone with different beliefs from you can affect your relationship and cause problems in the future, so think about how this might affect your potential marriage and family. If it’s imperative to you and your family that your husband share your same religion, you must either ask him to convert or break up. Talk openly about how religious differences will affect your relationship and potential children. Find common ground in your beliefs or values. Learn to accept their religion and learn about it. Consider how you approach money and find a man with a similar approach. If you tend to meticulously budget and save your money, find a man with similar values. Money can be a big problem and major source of conflict in a marriage, so pick up on a potential partner’s habits early on. Consider your values around keeping separate bank accounts or using a joint bank account....

TL;DR in English: Examine your compatibility. Have similar conflict styles. Discuss religious differences. Talk about finances. Build family relationships.

Look for two buttons on the side of the case. Press the button that is located further from the Home button.

If your mother-in-law has always been critical, demanding, or argumentative, you may need to simply work out a strategy to minimize the behavior and cope with it. If this is a new behavior and it is directed only at you, there is likely an underlying problem that must be addressed. Talk to your spouse to get a better understanding of your mother-in-law. If you’re nervous about broaching the subject, say something like, “I’d like to talk about the way your mother has been acting, but I don’t want to fight. I just want to discuss the issue to see if we can find a solution.” Presenting a united front with your spouse will send the message to your mother-in-law that her behavior is unacceptable. If your spouse confronts the problem first, it will signal that you both acknowledge the issue. Ask your partner to talk to her privately to see if they can uncover the root of the problem. If your spouse is uncomfortable getting in the middle of things, ask them to at least stand up for you when she crosses a line.  Ask your spouse to report back to you after they have a private conversation with their mother. They may have some important information about what the root of the problem is. Tell your spouse, “I really think that you’ll have an easier time talking to her than I will. If you talk to her first and figure out why she’s not acting fairly, it will make it easier for me to sit down with her.” Don’t get ahead of yourself and start talking or arguing with your mother-in-law without consulting your spouse first. If you cross a line or engage in an argument without agreeing on a coping strategy, you may end up offending your spouse. Decide on whether you want to confront, deflect, or avoid the problem together to give yourself the highest chance of succeeding. Even if you want to deal with the problem by talking to your mother-in-law privately, you should still consult your partner first. They may have some tips or advice on how to speak with her, and you should give them a head’s up in case your mother-in-law goes...

TL;DR in English: Talk to your spouse to see if this has always been a problem. Ask your spouse to back you up or talk to her if she’s only focusing on you. Develop a strategy together to solve the problem.

Nothing will make your soap disintegrate faster than keeping it constantly wet. Water breaks down the consistency of the soap and makes it necessary to replace your soap much more frequently. Avoid storing your soap in a place that is constantly in contact with water, like in the direct stream of the shower. Allowing the air to dry out its moisture will make a bar of soap harder (and therefore less likely to crumble), so that it lasts longer. The more time your soap spends completely dry, the longer it will last. Because of this, the more people who use a bar of soap, the faster it will need to be replaced. More users means less time between showers and more time that the soap will spend wet. A wire rack or a self-draining soap dish is best. Soap dishes without drainage keep the moisture longer and will make it harder for your soap to dry out in between uses. Although some of the more fancy plastic and stainless steel soap dish designs are funky and cute, unless they have drainage, they are liable to make your soap soggy. Once your soap bar breaks down into smaller pieces that are difficult to use, put those smaller pieces inside a soap-saving pouch. This small bag will work to contain the pieces for reuse, but it also acts as a type of exfoliating washcloth that you can use to bath yourself with the soap remnants inside.

TL;DR in English: Keep the soap away from water. Let the soap air dry. Always keep your soap in an appropriate soap dish that allows for drainage. Store smaller pieces in a soap-saving pouch.

Let your passengers know if you are suddenly overcome with nausea. Passengers can help either by giving you something to vomit into or, in dire need, by grabbing control of the wheel. Someone can also cup their hands as an impromptu vomit bag. Gross, yes, but perhaps better than a lingering stench in the car of vomiting on your clothes. The important thing is that they know what is happening and do not panic. The most important thing is controlling the car and the ensuring the safety of you, your passengers, and other motorists and pedestrians. Your clothes are the least of your worries. If you are driving at a slower speed, between 10 and 30 mph, try to pull over. If that proves to be impossible and there are no or only a few cars behind you, slow to a stop, turn on your hazard lights, and vomit.  Don’t worry about the reaction of other motorists in this situation. At slow speeds, there is little danger in stopping in the road. Open the door and vomit if possible. If you can, pull over onto the side of the road. At the first sign of nausea, brace your body for another couple seconds and attempt a safe, slow maneuver onto the road shoulder. Do not stop in the middle of the road. Drive defensively, use your indicator, and do not assume other cars will slow down for you. Do not pull into the center divide on a freeway or highway. Center divides are closer to the fastest moving cars and offer less space than the shoulder. As said, as slower speeds you should be able to stop, open your door, and vomit onto the pavement. However, this maneuver is very dangerous on faster roads and expressways. Even pulled onto the shoulder, you should avoid getting out of your car. Exercise caution. It is better to hurl on your floor mats than to be seriously injured by another car. At high speeds, and if stopping is impossible take your foot off the accelerator while preparing to vomit and hover your foot over the brake in case you need to slow the car down quickly. If unable to pull over, your primary aim should be to maintain...

TL;DR in English: Alert your passengers. Try to pull over carefully. At higher speeds, use extreme caution. Vomit outside only under safe conditions. Vomit straight ahead.

You'll need at least the following to make your drug store ready to open. This is only a suggested list, and you'll likely find that you need other items to get your store ready.  Computers and all the necessary software. Cash registers. Phones and phone lines. Good-quality chairs for waiting areas. Make sure these chairs have arm rests so elderly or disabled patients can get up easily. Inventory for the front of the store, like paper towels, OTC drugs and products, food, cleaning supplies, and anything else you'd like to sell. Vials and pill bottles for the pharmacy. The store's layout is important for making customers want to shop with you. A cluttered store with a poor layout will drive away customers, which will hurt or even sink your business. Keep the following guidelines in mind when designing your floor plan.  Have a cash register by the front door so customers can check out and then leave conveniently. Keep all pharmacy-related activities behind a counter in the back of the store. This will ensure that pharmacy staff can work efficiently, and is also important for safety. Make aisles wide enough for wheelchairs and people with disabilities to easily travel down. Designate an area for counseling. Your drug store should have a private area where pharmacists and techs can counsel patients on their medications. In some locations, this is even a law. Ideally this should be back by the pharmacy, so your pharmacist doesn't have to travel far from his post to counsel a patient. Organize aisles by product and hang signs above aisles indicating which products are there. This will help customers find what they need quickly and ensure they leave happy. All businesses need security in place to keep employees safe and protect your financial investment. You should look into surveillance cameras, alarms, grates for windows, and a safe to help thwart robberies. These certifications vary depending on the location of your pharmacy, so you'll have to consult local laws to ensure that you are meeting all necessary...

TL;DR in English: Acquire all the necessary equipment for your business. Set up your store effectively. Set up a security system. Get all the licenses, permits, and certifications necessary for opening. Open your pharmacy before your "grand opening.

Once your FTC Identity Theft Report is complete, file a report with your local police department, making sure to include copies of your FTC report, ID, a utility bill, and documented evidence of identity theft. Contact any businesses you know were defrauded and ask them to close your accounts. If your original accounts were hacked or misused, change your usernames, passwords, and PIN numbers. If any of your personal banking information was compromised, ask your financial institution to remove unapproved charges and refund the money. Write down the name of whoever helped you and ask for a letter or e-mail confirming that the account was closed and bogus charges were removed. When you have an official FTC Identity Theft Report, contact Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax again. Give them a copy of the report along with proof of your identity, then ask them to remove credit information caused by identity theft. Make sure you’re specific about what information they need to remove. Each credit bureau will block the bogus report info, meaning it won’t appear on official credit reports and you are not obligated to pay the debts.
