You may have tried to cover up pimples with layer after layer of foundation, concealer, and powder. Unfortunately, this strategy can actually make the blemish more visible.  Instead, think about light-diffusing makeup, which will make your whole face look more luminous and will distract attention from pimples or other imperfections. For pimples that are begging for concealer, use a concealer brush to dab just a tiny bit right on top of the pimple, then set with powder. Remember what you learned in art class — colors opposite each other on the color wheel can balance each other out. Today, this same logic has been applied to skincare products. The newest products will make you look balanced, not like an extra on Star Trek.  If you’re worried about a sallow complexion, look for purple-tinted primers. If redness is a problem, try a green-tinted product. These days, many makeup products pack a wallop in the skincare department, too. Find the product that addresses your particular issue.  Acne sufferers will find products that contain skin-clearing salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and other compounds. Mineral makeup contains zinc oxide to treat acne and will sit on top of pores rather than clogging them. You’ll also find products geared toward treating uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, and more. If you’re applying makeup with dirty hands and/or brushes, you risk making acne and other conditions worse.   Wash your hands before applying makeup (and touching your face in general).  Wash your brushes every two weeks to avoid oil and bacteria buildup. There are a number of products on the market just for this purpose, but soap and water will also do. Your makeup becomes bacteria-ridden, too, so replace it every six months (three months for mascara). If you’re wearing makeup every day, your skin doesn’t have a chance to breathe. Take a break so you don’t get caught in a cycle where you keep needing even more makeup!

TL;DR in English: Aim to diffuse rather than cover. Think about the color wheel. Don’t just cover up your problems—treat them at the same time. Don’t exacerbate the situation while you’re trying to cover it up. Give yourself a day off.

Turn on a gas grill and toss thin pieces of meat or vegetables on the grate. You can usually cook an entire meal within minutes, as long as you have space on the grill. For example, grill shrimp skewers and place a basket of asparagus and peppers to one side of the grill. Although you can cook food on a charcoal grill, it will take time to light the grill and heat the briquettes. Water and stock conduct heat so pour enough liquid to barely cover the bottom of the pan. Once it starts simmering, add your food and put the lid on. The food will become tender once it's finished cooking. Then if you want to blanch it, you can scoop out the food and submerge it in ice water to stop it from cooking further. To practice this technique, heat chopped vegetables in a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of vegetable or chicken stock along with a drizzle of oil or melted butter and seasoning. Once the stock has cooked off, the vegetables should be tender. Chop food into bite-sized pieces and cook it over high heat on the stove instead of sticking it in a low-temperature oven. Stir-frying will give the food a rich flavor and you can easily throw together a one-pot meal. For example, instead of roasting an entire chicken, use boneless skinless chicken pieces and stir fry them with veggies. The microwave isn't just for reheating leftovers. You can quickly cook side dishes or toast nuts for a small meal. This can also free up space on your stove so you can work on other parts of a meal. For example, cook broccoli florets in the microwave while you grill chicken tenders. Although a slow cooker isn't fast, it does free you up to do other things while your meal is cooking. If you like the convenience of a one-pot meal, try making it in a pressure cooker, since this dramatically cuts down on cooking time.  Some pressure-cookers have delayed start options, so you can program it to start cooking when you're not home. Always read the manufacturer's directions when cooking with your appliances. If you put a lid on your dish, you'll...

TL;DR in English: Cook food on a gas grill. Blanch or steam food on the stovetop. Stir-fry food instead of roasting or braising. Use your microwave to cook, reheat, or toast food. Make meals in a slow cooker or pressure cooker for a hands-off method. Use a lid when you're heating water, soup, or sauce. Cook food in shallow pans to help it cook faster.

There are a number of different sites which allow people to sell their handmade goods. You may want to list your items on a site specifically for quilts, or one which attracts a broader range of customers.  This is a great way to make your work available to customers who might not see your quilts otherwise. Before you list your items, make sure you know what commission will be taken out, how quickly you can expect to be paid, and if there are any quotas you will be expected to meet. Some popular sites include ebay, Etsy, and ArtFire. You will either have to hire a web designer to build your company webpage from scratch, or you can choose a hosting service which provides templates.  Be sure that your site includes a merchant software that will allow you to process credit cards so customers can order directly from your website. If you have your own website, you will be responsible for driving all of the traffic to your site yourself. Social media is a powerful tool for growing a small business. Post pictures of your quilts, along with information on how you can be contacted if someone wants to purchase one of your quilts. If you’re relying on social media, keep in mind that unique patterns and bold colors tend to make more of an impression when people are scrolling through their feed. Some quilting websites will allow you to post pictures of your work. However, make sure you read the community guidelines before you do this, since some don’t allow solicitation. Popular quilting forums include forum.apqs.com,  https://www.quiltingboard.com, or https://www.artisticthreadworks.com. If you love making quilts but you’d rather give them to your friends and family, consider drafting your own patterns and selling them instead. This is a popular way for quilters to make a little extra income, and there are a number of quilting sites where you can list your patterns.  If you create your own quilt patterns, you can list them on some of the same sites where you would sell your handmade quilts, including Etsy and ebay....

If you don't already know very much about the girl, ask some of her friends to tell you what she likes. This may be pretty easy to find out if you share mutual friends. Finding out what she likes can focus on what you have in common. For example, you may find that she loves the same types of movies that you're passionate about. Try catching movies at the same time so you run into her and have something to talk about. Some people can become instant friends while others need to spend a bit of time in each other's company. Create emotional bonds by hanging out together, having fun together, and becoming comfortable around each other. If you're both hanging out in a group, make a point of seeking her out to talk to her. She'll probably be flattered or at least willing to talk to you since you've shown an interest in her. Realize that this won't happen overnight. You'll probably need to spend a considerable amount of time together. Let the girl know that you're there for her if she needs someone to talk to. If she does come to you for support, listen and be there for her. You don't need to profess your love or say anything nasty about her current partner. Instead, just make casual small talk, ask her opinion about something, or talk to her about things going on in her life. Just paying attention to her will signal to her that you care about her. This will increase her feelings of friendliness towards you, even if she's in a romantic relationship. It can take a while to develop a friendship. Don't pressure the girl into a relationship. Instead, just learn to enjoy her company. You may become really good friends for a while or the girl may leave her partner and decide to start a relationship with you. Remind yourself that being a supportive friend can actually encourage the girl to reconsider her current relationship. She may realize that you make a better partner. If you like a girl, it's easy to think that you need to be the kind of person she'd like. For example, if she competes in several sports but you don't...

TL;DR in English: Learn about her. Spend time with her while in a group. Show her you care about her. Be patient. Be yourself.

Glass that is crushed up into small pieces is referred to as frit. If your kiln isn't level and you are having a difficult time keeping your bottle positioned as you desire, you can sprinkle some pieces of frit to either side of the bottle to prevent it from rolling. Once the bottle begins to slump, it will lose its roundness and rolling will no longer be an issue. Until then, your frit should keep your bottle in place. When your glass bottle gets too hot, it can fold inward to the lower areas of your mold and create dangerous sharp edges. Decrease your peak temperature by 10° increments until you get the results you desire.  You can also blunt sharp edges by decreasing your hold time. Shorten the time by 5 minutes or less in your future firings. If the sharp edges remain, continue to decrease the hold time in this fashion. In some cases, you may have the best results by lowering your temperature and shortening your hold time. You'll have to experiment to find what works best for the glass and kiln you are using. Melting glass is a very precise process. Even the difference of a few degrees or minutes can completely change the outcome of your glass art project. You should pay special attention to temperature, hold times, ramp rates, and the kind of glass you are melting. There are many small factors that can have a significant affect your glass melting. The time you hold your temperature benchmarks, the rate of increase/decrease in temperature, the number of bottles you're trying to melt in a single firing -- all of these factors play a part in how your glass melts. But with a little time and practice, you'll soon be creating beautiful glass art melting bottles.

TL;DR in English: Balance rolling bottles with frit. Prevent sharp, jagged edges in your melted bottle. Take notes on your melting procedure. Perfect your glass melting technique.

Being in denial about what you’re feeling will only draw out the healing process. Betrayal is painful, so give yourself permission to mourn however you need to. Curl up in bed for a day or so. Cry your eyes out until you can’t cry anymore. Play darts on a photograph of your ex. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Releasing the emotion you feel in a physical way can actually make you feel better. It’s unacceptable, however, to act out aggressively or hurt someone. Try throwing, breaking, punching, or burning something instead.  There are places that give you a stack of plates to throw against walls, or allow you to build a fire in a barrel for burning the gifts your ex gave you. Try signing up for a boxing or kickboxing class. Physical activity can serve as a release of negative emotions and help you get physically and emotionally stronger. Victims of cheating often have a tendency to see the cheater as the “good guy” while placing the blame on themselves. Don’t do that. Sure, you may have played some role in the downfall of the relationship, but the cheater is responsible for his actions. If you catch yourself blaming yourself, divert the blame where it belongs. You might silently repeat, “He’s the cheater. This is his fault, not mine.” The end of a relationship can result in you reviewing everything that happened in your head over and over again. While some reflection can be fruitful, nonstop thinking about what went wrong can have negative effects on your mood.  Keep yourself busy after the breakup. Hang out with friends, join a club, rearrange the furniture in your home, or start volunteering. Let your friends and family know that you are trying to limit the number of times you refer to your ex. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter may seem like tempting sanctuaries after you break things off with your cheating boyfriend, but logging on and venting isn’t a good idea. Commit to a short detox from your favorite platforms until you’re feeling more levelheaded. When you do log back on, unfollow your ex...

TL;DR in English: Own your pain. Hit or destroy something. See your ex for what he is. Overcome rumination. Stay off social media. Resist the urge to get revenge.

Letters, texts, and emails can be a great way to prove your spouse had an inclination to commit adultery. These things should have information about the adulterous activities your spouse is taking part in. For example, the text could discuss times your spouse was with someone else and a letter from someone else could say they love your spouse and enjoy the time they spend together. These letters should be romantic in nature. If you have proof that your spouse has signed up for online dating sites like Tinder, match.com, or any similar online resource, you should keep that evidence and present it to the court at the appropriate time. If you cannot find evidence yourself but you think your spouse may be committing adultery, you could hire a private investigator to collect evidence for you. A private investigator will attempt to obtain photographs and other evidence of the adultery. In a lot of adulterous situations, friends and family will know something is going on before you do. If you think something is going on, ask your friends and family. Be aware that while friends and family may know something is going on, they might not have any evidence to support their claims. While their information may still be helpful, it would be best if they had evidence to corroborate their claims. If your spouse admits to having an affair or being adulterous, you can use that admission to help prove your case. Ideally, this admission would take the form of a text or email, because you will have tangible evidence of the conversation. If you are already taking part in court proceedings, you may be able to request bank records, online records, hotel records and other records that may provide proof of adultery. You cannot subpoena records of a party to the divorce, so you should look to subpoena the records directly from a bank or hotel.

Use your auger as a storage bin. Transform your auger into a compost bin. Store pet food in your old compost bin.

Choose the right auger for the job. Don steel-toes boots and leather gloves. Break up the soil if it's especially hard. Hold the auger upright by the handle, with the shank perpendicular to the ground. Dig down about 12 inches (30 cm). Return the auger to the hole and continue digging and dumping the dirt.

There’s no need to clean the garlic before you cure it, but you should take the time to remove any lingering dirt before you braid it. In some cases, you may be able to remove the dirt and other residue by brushing it away with your fingers. If the bulbs are particularly dirty, you may need to use a soft cloth to clean them.  For stubborn dirt that won’t wipe away with fingers or a cloth, try using an old toothbrush to go over the bulbs. Be gentle, though, so you don’t bruise the garlic when you’re cleaning it. If the garlic is extremely dirty, you may want to remove a couple of the outer layers of dry skin. To ensure that you wind up with a neat, attractive braid, you’ll need to trim the bulbs before you begin braiding. There are usually long, scraggly roots attached to the bulbs, so you’ll want to cut those to approximately ¼-inch. The roots aren’t very thick, so you can use regular scissors to trim the garlic. If you notice that any of the leaves are jagged or scraggy, you may want to trim them as well because they can make it more difficult to braid. When you’re braiding, you want the bulbs’ leaves to be pliable so they’re easier to braid. The best way to make them more flexible is to soak them in water. Fill a bowl or sink with lukewarm water, and soak the garlic so just the leaves are submerged. You don’t want the bulbs to get wet. Let the leaves soak for approximately 15 to 30 minutes, or until they feel more pliable. Instead of soaking the leaves, you can sandwich them between two thoroughly wet towels. Once again, make sure the bulbs are not getting wet, and let the leaves sit for 15 to 30 minutes.

TL;DR in English: Clean the bulbs. Trim the garlic. Soak the garlic stems.

Depending how large your trash can is, you can bring it inside for clothes or other home storage. If it is too large to bring inside, store large garden tools like rakes and shovels and leave your trash can in your garage or yard. Drill holes in the bottom and sides of the trash can to provide air. Add uncooked vegetable scraps, dried leaves, and plant material into the trash can.  Turn your compost every two weeks to keep it moist. Just put the lid on, turn it on its side, and roll it! Place your compost bin on bricks to increase air circulation. Use your compost to boost your gardening soil! If you have  a dog or other large pet, use your old trash can to store pet food so you don’t have to run to the pet store as much. Buying pet food in bulk is also cheaper in the long run! Make sure your trash can is fully cleaned before storing food in it.

TL;DR in English: Use your trash can as a storage bin. Transform your trash can into a compost bin. Store pet food in your old trash can.

You need to consider what kind of soil you'll be digging in, how many holes you will dig and whether you have someone to help you run the auger.  A hand auger can be operated by 1 or 2 people. This is best if you only have 1 or 2 holes to dig, because it takes a lot of work to turn the handle.  A power auger uses a gasoline engine to turn the auger, but it can be dangerous if it runs into a rock or other obstruction. The auger will stop suddenly, which can cause the top to jerk, knocking you off your feet or even breaking your arm.  A wheeled auger is a power auger mounted on a wheeled frame, so there is less chance you'll be injured if it stops. A tractor auger is safest because you operate it from the tractor seat. If something goes wrong, you are at safe distance. If you use a power auger, you also need hearing and eye protection. Don't wear loose clothing that can be caught in the auger. Your auger will work best if the first few inches or centimeters is easy to dig into. Use a spade, digging tool or clamshell post-hole digger. If the ground is still too hard, soak the area with water. Begin turning the handle or start the motor. If a powered auger stops suddenly, immediately release the throttle or hit the kill switch stop the motor. Raise the auger out of the hole and dump the dirt off the blades. If you don't regularly dump off the dirt, the auger will become too heavy to raise easily. It may even get stuck in the hole. Most post-holes are about 3 feet (1 meter) deep. Augers can dig much deeper, however, if you use extension rods.

. You can cast on as many stitches as you like to work the herringbone stitch. The stitch will work with an even or odd number, so cast on the number of stitches required for your project or as many as you like to practice the stitch. For example, if you want to practice the herringbone stitch, then you might cast on 10 stitches and work them for 8 to 10 rows to create a sample swatch. . Knit the first stitch in your row of cast on stitches. To knit, insert the right needle into the back of the first stitch on the left needle. Then, loop the yarn over your needle and pull the yarn through the old stitch. As you do this, slip the new stitch onto your right needle and let the old stitch slide off your left needle. Next, you will need to slip a stitch from the left needle to the right needle. Slide the next stitch over and onto the right hand needle. After slipping the stitch off the left hand needle and onto the right hand needle, knit another stitch. Knit the stitch as you normally would. Insert the left hand needle into the slipped stitch and bring it over the knit stitch. Lift the slipped stitch up and over the first knit stitch on the needle. Do not allow the stitch to slip off the needle. Now that the slipped stitch is back on the left hand needle, you will need to knit into it. Knit into the slipped stitch as you normally would. This will complete 1 stitch sequence. To continue the row, repeat the sequence beginning with knitting 1 stitch. Keep repeating the sequence until you get to the end of the row.

TL;DR in English: Cast on Knit 1 Slip 1 stitch off and onto the right needle. Knit another stitch. Transfer the slipped stitch to the left needle. Knit into the slipped stitch. Continue the sequence to the end of the row.

Imagine where you want your viewer's eye level to be and sketch that line lightly with a pencil. If you want a precise line, lay a ruler across the paper and run your pencil along it to get an exact horizon line. You can place the horizon anywhere you like. Draw it across the upper 1/3, center, or lower 1/3 of your paper, for instance. Positioning the horizon low will help you create a view looking up while putting the horizon near the top will direct the viewer to look down. One-point perspective always has a single focal point on the horizon where all the lines of interest meet. Decide where you want the viewer to focus and make a small dot or mark on the horizon to make this vanishing point. You've probably seen drawings of a street that have the vanishing point on the center of the horizon. This creates a very noticeable narrowing of the street, which can make it easier for beginners to draw. Set your ruler down so it passes through the vanishing point on the horizon. You can angle your ruler in any direction and lightly run your pencil along it to make a perspective line. Make as many perspective lines as you like. For example, if you're making a road, you'll probably want to draw 2 lines that converge at the vanishing point. Perspective lines are also called orthogonal lines. You can use them as guidelines to draw other subjects in your drawing so they're also in one-point perspective. Use your ruler to create at least 3 or 4 perspective lines that extend from the vanishing point. Then, draw a square within your perspective lines so the top and bottom lines of the square are parallel to the horizon lines. Make lines that are perpendicular to the horizon line in order to connect the sides of your box. You can try this with other shapes. Draw the closest side of a shape and connect its corners to the vanishing point on your horizon. If you're trying to add depth to your drawings, you'll need to choose a single thing that draws the viewer in. For example, you could draw a street that narrows in the...

TL;DR in English: Draw a horizon line across your paper. Make a pencil mark on the horizon where you want the vanishing point. Draw lines that extend from your vanishing point. Sketch a geometric object or house to practice perspective. Practice drawing landscapes or streets using one-point perspective. You've finished one-point perspective.

Carefully transfer the contents of the pot into the large mixing bowl, right over the cranberries. The cranberries will immediately float to the surface of the syrup. Place a smaller mixing bowl or a plate over the bowl to keep them submerged. You may want to test the syrup out on a few cranberries before pouring it over all of them. The cranberries will burst if the syrup is too hot. Leave the submerged cranberries in the bowl until the syrup has completely cooled. Once cooled, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Do not remove the plate first – wrap the whole thing up. Place the bowl in the refrigerator overnight. On the following day, remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Drain the cranberries in a colander. Reserve the syrup as it drains – don't throw it away. You won't need it for this particular recipe, but you can use this tasty simple syrup later on to sweeten holiday cocktails. Line a large shallow bowl with paper towels and pour the drained cranberries into it. Use additional paper towels to pat the berries dry. Keep patting them until all of the liquid is absorbed. The cranberries should feel tacky but not wet. If you leave any leftover liquid on the cranberries, the sugar will clump up when you try to roll them.

Go online and find a picture of a trophy outline. You can use search terms such as "trophy clip art" or "trophy outline." You can also use a page from a coloring book. Be sure to print the trophy out on regular printer paper.  The trophy needs to be the same size you want your final trophy to be. If you need to, use an image editing program, such as Photoshop or Microsoft Paint, to make it bigger. You will be using graphite on the back of the paper to trace it onto the cardboard. If you don't want to do that, print the trophy out on cardstock to use as a stencil instead. Gold and silver are the most popular trophy colors, but you can make yours any color you want. Apply 1 coat of acrylic craft paint with a synthetic taklon brush, then let it dry, about 10 to 20 minutes. Apply a second coat of paint, and let it dry too.  You only need to paint the front of the trophy, but you need to paint both sides of the semicircle. You can use spray paint too, but be sure to work in a well-ventilated area. Apply the spray paint from 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) away. Because cardboard is absorbent, you'll probably only need a single coat. You're only limited by your creativity and your materials in this step. Decide what sort of occasion the trophy is for, then decorate it accordingly. Here are some ideas for you:  Write "#1" or "Winner!" on the trophy with a black marker. Turn the trophy into a picture frame by cutting out a square or rectangle, then gluing a photo behind it. Draw designs over the trophy with hot glue, then paint over them using extra paint. This will give you a 3D look. Hot glue beads, buttons, or rhinestones to the trophy. Leave them as they are, or paint them to match the trophy.

TL;DR in English: Print out an outline of a trophy. Paint the trophy and base your desired color. Decorate the trophy with paint, markers, or other embellishments.

Silkies are small birds so they don’t need as much space as larger chickens. That said, if you have the option to give them more space in the coop, do so. They will appreciate the extra room.  You can order a premade coop online or build your own. A good coop will have a mesh ventilation window at the top of the structure, which you can close during rainy weather. There should be a door to let chickens out into the yard or run. Have an area for the chickens to roost and nest. This includes a bar they can roost on and hay so they can lay eggs. Hawks, owls, dogs, cats, raccoons, and coyotes may all target silkies. To keep your chickens safe, make sure that their coop is predator-proof.  Use wire with holes that are no larger than .5 inches (13 mm) wide so that other animals can't climb in. Either choose a coop with a solid floor or bury wire mesh into the ground under the coop. This prevents burrowing animals, like rats, from digging their way in. All windows and top openings should be covered with mesh. Check for holes and gaps regularly. A chicken run is a small, enclosed area outside of the coop where your silkies can safely roam during the day. Make sure the area is covered from the top so hawks cannot swoop at them. Since silkies don’t do well in wet weather, make sure that at least part of the run is covered on top. Chicken runs keep chickens safe from predators. They also prevent your chickens from escaping or becoming lost. If you want to skip the chicken run and give your silkies more room to explore, you can always keep them in a fenced yard. Give them as much space as you can.  Free-range chickens often have a healthier diet, as they will supplement their feed with grasses and bugs. Make sure that part of the yard is shaded or covered so that the silkies have protection from rain and heavy sun. You can set up an overhang or plant trees for shade. Overhead covering is still important for free-range chickens since predators could attack them during the day. Even if your chickens are free-range, they...

TL;DR in English: Set up a coop with at least 8 inches (200 mm) for every bird in your flock. Choose a coop that predators can’t break into. Set up a chicken run outside of the coop to protect the chickens. Fence in an outdoor area if you want free-range chickens. Install 1 nest box for every 4 birds. Add a 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) layer of bedding to the bottom of the coop. Keep silkies and chickens with similar temperaments together.

For this method, you will need salt, purified water, a small clean glass or plastic cup, a large bowl, and ice. If you have a thermometer it would also be useful, but not necessary.   Make sure your glass is very clean; any impurities can cause the water to crystallize into ice before supercooling occurs. Impurities can also lower the freezing point of water.  The bowl must be large enough to contain the glass and enough ice to submerge the glass. The amount of water added doesn’t have to be exact. Add enough that you will be able to measure the temperature, but not so much that you won’t be able to surround the cup with ice above the water line. Place the cup in the center of the bowl.

You can serve hoisin sauce for dipping by itself, or mix it with an equal amount of peanut sauce for a more traditional spring roll sauce.  Feel free to play around with the amounts of peanut sauce and hoisin you mix together to create a custom blend! You can make hoisin sauce yourself, or buy the canned or jarred sauces that are sold at most grocery stores. After stirring in the hoisin, proceed with creating and grilling your hamburger patties like you normally do. Hoisin sauce packs a flavorful punch, so start with small amounts and experiment until you find a ratio you like best. If you want to increase the Asian-inspired flavor of your burgers, try adding some freshly chopped ginger, green onions, and a dash of red pepper flakes to the meat before forming your patties. You can use the sauce by itself for a simple glaze or try adding a small amount it to your favorite glaze to give it a little extra kick. Brush the glaze onto the chicken wings and arrange the wings on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake the wings at 400 °F (204 °C) for about 40 minutes. If you’re following a specific recipe for your wings, adhere to the oven temperature and cook time suggested. Hoisin sauce works wonderfully with all kinds of stir-fry dishes. Add it to the wok while making your favorite beef, chicken, pork, tofu, or veggie stir-fry dish for a spicy-sweet kick. Try substituting hoisin for some of the soy sauce in the recipe, or simply use it alongside the soy sauce. You can also serve the sauce on the side with any stir-fry meal you like for drizzling or dipping. Hoisin sauce can provide an Asian-inspired flavor to any of your favorite dipping foods! Serve the sauce on the side with French fries, wings, chicken nuggets, fish sticks, and any other savory food you typically use a dipping sauce with. Buy jarred hoisin sauce when you want to use hoisin as a dipping sauce. The bottled variety usually has a thin...

TL;DR in English: Make a dipping sauce for Vietnamese spring rolls. Mix hoisin sauce into ground beef or turkey for Asian-inspired burgers. Use hoisin sauce as a glaze on baked chicken wings. Add hoisin sauce in your favorite stir-fry recipe. Use it as a dipping sauce for French fries or wings.

Freshwater fish are the best choice for beginners, as they require less aquarium maintenance. They also generally have fewer health issues in home aquariums. Saltwater fish require saltwater aquariums and are more challenging to maintain. However, they are quite beautiful. In many cases, small fish are peaceful breeds. They also require less tank space, making them a good choice for first-time fish owners. Neon tetras, zebra danios, and livebearers are all solid options. Be aware that some fish thought to be able to keep in bowls, like goldfish, can actually grow quite large. Ideally, the smallest fish tank you can keep is 2.5 gallons.   If you go with a fish species that prefer to live in schools or shoals, like tetras, plan to purchase at least five of them at once. Schooling fish swim together, whereas shoaling fish only swim together when afraid. Both fish need companions to feel safe. When deciding which fish to put in your tank, you’ll need to go beyond color and appearance and focus on behaviors instead. You generally need to either put non-aggressive or aggressive fish together. If you mix the types, then the aggressive fish will usually attack the others.  For example, danios, guppies, and tiger pleco are all friendly fish that will coexist peacefully together. Angelfish and cichlids are two types of aggressive fish that can often live in a tank together without harming one another. If you purchase from a pet store, you have the added security of seeing the actual fish that you are buying. Most stores also often a refund if the fish dies prior to a certain date. If you buy online, you’ll forgo any choice regarding the individual fish, but you will gain more fish breeds to choose from.  If you do go the online route, choose a dealer that offers clear customer service connections via email or the phone. Look for positive reviews online as well. These can often be found in fish owner forums. Avoid wild-caught whenever possible. Wild-caught fish are often more sensitive, caught in inhumane ways, and...

The longer you wait to eat them, the soggier the crabs will grow. Put them on plates and serve them as soon as possible. To keep from making a mess, you can line the plate with a paper towel before placing the crab on top. A delicious dish deserves a beautiful presentation! Sprinkle the crab with pinch of flaky sea salt to bring out the flavors in the meat. Chop up some fresh parsley leaves and sprinkle those over the top as well. The parsley will enhance the crab's natural briny flavor and add a pleasing pop of color. Cut up a fresh lemon into small wedges, then place them in a bowl for the table or add a few wedges on each plate of crab. A few squeezes of the lemon juice will add a bright citrus note that contrasts nicely with the savory meat. Refrigerate any crab leftovers within 2 hours of cooking and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. You can either eat them on their own or use them in other dishes, such as sandwiches, tacos, salad, sushi rolls, and omelets.  You can also freeze the cooked crab in freezer bags or plastic wrap for 2-3 months. The crab won't stay crispy, but the meat will still be usable in other dishes. To make the meat crispy again, try re-breading and frying it.

TL;DR in English: Serve the crabs hot, straight out of the oil. Garnish with flaky salt and fresh parsley. Serve with fresh lemon wedges. Store leftovers to use in other dishes.

Once you break up, walk away and stop talking to him for a while, even if you hope to remain friends in the future. Stop calling, stop responding to his texts, and consider blocking him or unfriending him on all your social media accounts. Just avoid all interactions with him.  Social media can be a tough trap during a break up. Try to block him and his friends, and avoid getting sucked into checking his status every hour on the dot to see what he's doing. Give yourself some space. "Staying friends" is a nice idea that almost never works. Trying to stay friends only makes the process of breaking up harder. If you actually want to be friends with this person, give yourselves some time alone to get over each other, and then reconnect later when your feelings have cooled off. Don't immediately transition into hanging out "as friends." That'll be too hard. Often, it's easier to jump into a new relationship than to process the last one. Try giving yourself enough time to grieve over the relationship that just ended, and understand what went wrong, instead of just dating someone else. How long is an appropriate amount of time? It will differ for everybody. Longer relationships will always need more time than shorter relationships. If you just dumped a guy who you had a fling with, it might be fine to start dating again right away. Try to look on the end of a relationship with some sense of joy. You're free! You can do what you want! You can stay up till 2 am and blast Taylor Swift and eat chocolate ice cream while you watch "Orange is the New Black" without having to worry about your criticizing boyfriend. Just let yourself be yourself for a while, and celebrate your new found freedom. Start hanging gout with new kinds of people, and reconnect with old friends. Live the single life. Start meeting people, when you feel ready. What have you learned from this experience? If you've had a messy break-up with a guy, try not to make the same mistake twice. If you were attracted to someone for the wrong reasons, don't let...

TL;DR in English: Stop talking to him. Give yourself some time alone. Have fun. Start dating other kinds of guys when you're ready.

Using a towel or oven mitt, take the bowl out of the microwave. Use a slotted spoon to add the eggs one by one. Make sure each is covered completely by the water. Don't drop the eggs directly into the water. Not only can they break when they hit the bottom, but they can also splash boiling-hot water upward. Once all the eggs are added, cover the bowl with a lid or a plate. Let it sit — the eggs will cook in the heat of the near-boiling water. Your cooking time will vary depending on how hard you want your eggs. In general, you should expect your eggs to take slightly more time than they would on the stove. This is because they did not have a chance to cook while the water was heating up.   If you like your eggs soft-boiled, let them sit for 10 minutes or less. The yolk should still be somewhat runny.  If you like your eggs medium-boiled, let them sit for about 15 minutes. The yolk should be semi-soft and the whites should be quite firm.  If you like your eggs hard-boiled, let them sit for 20 minutes or more. The white and yolk should be completely firm without being an unappealing grey-green color.

TL;DR in English: Remove the bowl and carefully add the eggs. Cover the bowl and let sit.

While loosening your belt after a meal seems like a silly cliche, it can help in this case. Increased pressure on your abdomen and lower esophageal sphincter help push up the stomach acids that cause heartburn. Looser clothing, especially after big meals, will help relieve heartburn. Sometimes heartburn symptoms are caused by plain old gravity. By lying down after a meal — when those stomach acids are most active — they can flow more easily toward your esophagus and get past your esophageal sphincter. Avoid lying down for 30 – 60 minutes after a meal. Generally avoid late meals as well since you should wait at least three hours after a meal before going to bed. If you prefer not to take medications, then you can often alleviate your heartburn with simple baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Mix one teaspoon in a glass of water, and drink it after your meal or when signs of heartburn begin. Do not exceed five teaspoons of baking soda in a day without first talking to your doctor. You can choose from a wide array of OTC products that target heartburn. The three most common classes of these drugs are antacids, H2 blockers, and proton pump inhibitors.  Antacids (products such as Tums) provide quick, short-term relief for heartburn by neutralizing your stomach acid.  H2 blockers—ranitidine (Zantac) and famotidine (Pepcid)—slow the production of stomach acid. These products take up to an hour to work, but they work for a longer period of time.  Proton pump inhibitors—omeprazole (Prilosec) and lansoprazole (Prevacid 24HR)—slow your body’s production of stomach acid even more. These products are generally used for heartburn that isn’t controlled by antacids or H2 blockers and that occurs more frequently than two days a week. Sometimes people experience heartburn when they go to bed even after waiting several hours after dinner. If heartburn disrupts your ability to sleep, try slightly angling the head of your bed. By lying at a gentle slope instead of parallel to the ground, you can help alleviate heartburn symptoms. ...

TL;DR in English: Loosen your clothing after meals. Do not lie down immediately after a meal. Drink a mix of baking soda and water. Take over-the-counter (OTC) drugs for heartburn. Elevate your mattress. Go for a walk. Eat modest portions at mealtime. Avoid foods that trigger your heartburn. Maintain a healthy weight. Quit smoking

For each day, jot down a few notes about when you massaged, the duration, and if you felt any contractions. You can also log information about any other induction methods that you are trying. This can be a very helpful tool in seeing which methods work for you and which ones fall flat.  You might write, “Massaged both breasts at 1pm for 15 mins total-used lotion, no contractions.” If you prefer to operate on a schedule, you might also set a timer on your phone to alert you for your chosen massaging times. Make sure to bring this journal with you when you visit with your doctor or midwife. Some women find it helpful to use an electric breastfeeding pump in addition to massaging. The pump will apply more forceful pressure to your areola and nipple area, possibly prompting contractions. Women may also find that their hands hurt during pregnancy and a pump will do the manual work for you. Experiment with the pump’s settings to find the one that is the most comfortable for you. Remember that the most pressure does not necessarily yield the best results. If your nipples are dry, sore, or tender, you will have a more difficult time benefiting from (or tolerating) the stimulation technique. Apply a natural lubricant, such as nipple butter or coconut oil, to your areola and nipple. Rub it in as part of the massage process. Repeat as needed. Heat is also known to stimulate your let-down reflex and the release of oxytocin. Place a hot compress on one breast at a time for five minutes each. Rotate over the course of 30 minutes to one hour. Repeat this process up to three times a day.  Make sure that the compress is not too hot. It should warm your skin, not burn it. You can also purchase microwaveable heat pouches that double as bra inserts at your local maternity store. You can also take a hot shower. Turn towards the water and direct it toward your breasts while massaging for maximum effect. This may seem like a lot of work, but if you get your partner involved you may be able to lighten up a bit. Show your partner the...

Many libraries require you to present proof of residency in order to get a library card. Before you head to the library, gather two pieces of mail with your given name and address on them, such as a bank statement or utility bill. For children or teenagers, a parent’s proof of residency is usually requested. Once you’ve proven residency, you need to prove you are who you say you are. Your library branch will require some form of ID. Although this is typically a state-issued license or ID, students may be able to use their school ID cards, as well. Libraries do not issue library cards online, so make sure you locate and visit your local library in person with the required documents. If you live outside of the area, you may also be required to pay a yearly fee. Although using online catalogs is possible, you have to have a library card before you can use library resources. While at the library, set up your online library profile. This typically uses your library card barcode and a password of your choosing. Creating an online library profile is required to check out items digitally. The way to set up your online account varies from library to library. Some will have simple instructions, while others will require a librarian to complete the process for you.

Don't focus on only one person or area.  Make eye contact with members of your audience. If eye contact is too intense for you, look just above their heads at a point such as a clock or a painting. Remember to look to both sides of the room. Don't favor just the right or left. Move your eyes around your audience so that everyone feels included in the presentation. The natural adrenaline rush that you will have in front of your audience may make you want to speak much too quickly. And have a confident smile on your face. If by chance, you forget your speech, then simply say thank you and leave the stage. Your audience will find you much more easy to relate to, and you won't lose their confidence in your knowledge of your subject. Never leave the stage if something goes wrong, even if you feel embarrassed. Make a joke if you can, shake it off, and move forward. Ask questions. As well have them ask you questions, so you can touch up on some points that you overlooked and/or left out,)before leaving the podium at the end of your speech. Acknowledge your audience with a smile, a brief nod or a slight bow, if appropriate. Be sure to build time for any Q and A into your allotted presentation time. That way, you can control the flow of the Q and A. Then, after the last question, let your audience know, "I'd like to share one final thought with you," and deliver a powerful closer.

TL;DR in English: Look around the audience. Speak slowly and try to breathe normally. Laugh at yourself if something goes wrong. Give your audience a chance to interact with you.

You’ll need to either buy bubble liquid or create your own using dish detergent.  Fill a glass or small jar  with a 1:1 solution of water and dish detergent.  Mix the solution and be sure it is ready before lighting up. It’s also helpful if you have a bubble wand handy. These typically come with bubble liquid. Light your cigarette with a match or lighter. Fill your mouth with smoke, but don't swallow or inhale it. You may need to puff the cigarette a few times to ensure it is fully lit. Place a straw into the liquid bubble solution. Again, the bubble wand creates bubbles easier than a straw. Hold the straw between your lips and slowly blow. Do not release the smoke as one might normally because the smoke will come out too fast and ruin the bubble. A curved bubble should form.

Before you can apply for a Singapore passport, you must have a digital, color photograph of passport-size taken within the past 3 months. ICE has additional technical specifications for the photo available on its Application for Passport On-line Electronic System (APPLES). You can also use a printed passport photo if you prefer to apply for your passport through the mail, or in person at an ICA customer service counter. You can download an application for a passport at https://www.ica.gov.sg/cms/files/forms/IMM%20(E)%2011.pdf, or pick up a paper copy at any of the ICA customer service counters. There are different forms if you are submitting your application through the mail, in person, or online. Make sure you're filling out the correct form. Singapore allows you to submit your application for a passport online, through the mail, or in person. Your application must be accompanied by the S$70 application fee. You can pay your fee using a debit or credit card, or by direct debit from a Singapore bank account. When ICA begins processing your passport application, they issue a pink acknowledgement card and mail it to you. Generally you can expect this card within a week after you submitted your application. This card will include information on when and where you can collect your passport. Keep the card, as you may need to show it when you pick up your passport. This is typically around a month after you submitted your application. When your new passport is ready, go to the ICA building to pick it up in person. You can make an appointment if you want to decrease your wait time. Take with you the pink acknowledgement card, your identity card, and your citizenship certificate. If you don't pick up your new passport within 3 months of the date it is issued, it will be cancelled. Your fees will not be refunded.

TL;DR in English: Have passport photos taken. Complete your application. Submit your completed application and photos. Receive your acknowledgement card. Collect your new passport.

Your primary care provider is an excellent resource to help you stay positive after an HIV diagnosis. They can help you manage and treat your disease, as well as offer strategies and suggestions for coping with the diagnosis. Your healthcare provider can also refer you to other services to help you manage your HIV diagnosis.  Take the list of questions provided by the US Department of Veterans Affairs http://www.hiv.va.gov/patient/diagnosis/questions-for-doctor.asp to your next doctor’s appointment. Have a trusted friend or family member accompany you to help you take notes and remember things. Ask your primary care provider about resources in your community for people who have HIV. You might say, “Could you tell me about the support available for managing my HIV?” While your primary care physician can help you maintain your health in general,  you will need to also have an HIV specialist on your support team, as well. Your specialist can work with you to specifically manage and treat your HIV.  Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention webpage https://www.cdc.gov/actagainstaids/campaigns/hivtreatmentworks/getincare/findcare.html for information on locating an HIV specialist. You can also check either The American Academy of HIV Medicine or the HIV Medicine Association at https://www.hivma.org/hivaids-resources/patient-assistance-programs/ to find a specialist. By no means do you need to tell everyone you know about your diagnosis. However, sharing your HIV status with people that you trust and who care about you can help you stay positive. Your family and friends can provide you with encouragement and assistance when you need it. Let them know what’s going on and ask for their support.  Tell them that you need their help staying positive. For example, you could try saying, “I’m going to need your help maintaining a positive attitude after my diagnosis.” Let them know specific ways that they can support you. For instance, you might say, “I could really use your help getting organized. It’ll help...

Practice about 60 minutes daily.Practice all the basic volleyball moves before the try-outs. Practice setting, spiking, bumping, blocking, and serving. Practice by yourself as well as with others. Set/bump against the wall, practice your serves, and jump rope. Jog daily, but not for too long, because long distance running damages your vertical jump. These will help your serves and hits. If you are strong, the coach will probably accept you on the team. This will give you a lot skills without the pressured level of expectation. Plus, you'll have a ton of fun. If the coach is expecting everyone to get their serves over, you had better work on serving. Almost all coaches will want to see how good you are at the fundamental skills. Try to show the coach these fundamentals in try-outs.

Place an ice cube in the palm of your hand, the crook of your elbow, or where you want to cut. The numbing cold may provide you with the sensation you are craving. Take an ice pack with you and keep it in an insulated tote so that you can have access to something cold when you need it. Also, consider taking a cup of ice with you wherever you go. Keep it in your desk, car, locker, or any place to which you have easy access. Use a felt-tip pen to create pictures or lines on yourself where you usually cut. You may find that you like the way it feels against your skin. You may also discover that creating beautiful designs on yourself is far more satisfying than making painful cuts. Only use soft-tipped pens or markers to draw on yourself. Using pens that feature sharp points may end up hurting you. Use temporary tattoos if you don't trust yourself to use a pen on your skin. Those who cut are often looking for a way to feel something, even if it is painful. Snapping your skin with a rubber band is a safer way than cutting to feel a strong sensation. Place the rubber band around your wrist, hold it up, and let if fall back sharply. Never snap your wrists until they bleed. Only engage in this act if you trust yourself to not go too far. Ask someone you trust to help you monitor this behavior to ensure that you are not injuring yourself with this technique. Paying attention to the area you typically cut may be all that you need when you feel the desire to self-harm. Wrap these areas in bandages or adhesive tape. Seeing them will serve as a reminder of what is to come if you give into your urge. Draw motivational words or phrases on the bandages to stop yourself from wanting to cut. You could also color them with a red pen or marker to look like blood, which may stop you from wanting to hurt yourself. The saying “beauty hurts” is popular because it is often true: some beauty techniques are downright painful. Engage in them to satisfy the pain you crave, without doing real harm.

You know what can blow money all around a room and keep it flowing way more effectively than your own bare hands? A giant fan. Set it on a high level with enough room in front of it to add your stacks o' cash. Turn it to the on position when it's not plugged in. That way, when you go to plug it in, you're in front of it when it turns on, ready to get rained on and rained on and rained on as your dead presidents swirl through the air. Sure, you could make it rain by yourself. You could run around your room, spreading the dough, raining on your bed as part of your nighttime routine, and then go to sleep comfortably on your piles and piles of simoleons. Or -- OR -- you could take your stacks and liven up any party, a coffee date with a friend, or dinnertime with your parents. Think of the endless possibilities! You'll probably want to coordinate together beforehand. Springing it on them could result in them diving for your cash or thinking you're a money-grubbing materialist. And who knows? Maybe they'll want to make it rain with you -- talk about a flood of money! Go big or go home, right? If you're gonna make it rain, might as well make it rain. If a helicopter isn't readily available, find a high point you can drop it from. The rooftop, the Eiffel Tower, a mountain -- just be ready to make the news! For the record, with this, you won't be getting your bucks back. The wind can be a cruel, cruel mistress. Who says you have to make it rain in the comfort of your own home or outside in nature? Walk into your local Starbucks and get to precipitating! Or skip the Starbucks where everyone can afford $4 lattes and make it rain at your local homeless shelter or, well, Walmart. What better way to get active in your community? And then watch as people look around at each other, wondering who's going to make the first pounce. How long do you think it'll take? At first everyone will be convinced it's fake -- what happens when the first person realizes that you're making it rain certifiable ducats? ..Or just pick it back...

Extracurricular activities are a great place to meet people with similar interests.  Join as many clubs as you can, but make sure to only participate in those that you have a real interest in.  If you are out of school already, look at your local newspaper(s) or weekly periodicals to find clubs in your town you might like to join.     If you take a foreign language, join the French, Spanish or German clubs.  You will not only meet new friends, but have people to practice your language skills with! Try out band.  School bands are pretty large, offering a wide base of potential friends, and there are so many different instruments you are bound to find one you enjoy playing. If you like to sing, join the glee club or show choir. Do you like to convince others of your opinions?  Try out the debate club.  Not only will you meet people at your school, but also can attend debate competitions and meet kids from other schools like yourself. For adults, your city no doubt has dance troupes, singing groups, bands that need new members, and other opportunities for meeting new people in your area. Like some school academic teams, sports teams play other schools and thus give you a chance to travel outside your city and meet kids from other areas with like interests.  Team members also practice together a few times a week, usually, and this is ample time to develop strong bonds with your teammates.  Try out soccer, baseball or tennis teams at your school.  If your school doesn’t have the sport you most enjoy, look for neighborhood leagues. Most cities have local groups that meet to practice and play more casual sports, like Ultimate Frisbee or volleyball. Look in the local paper, city website, or do a web search on a particular sport in your city. If you are a woman, you might look for roller derby teams in your city.  This is a contact sport, so is not for the timid.  It also can be pricey to join, but is lots of fun and will introduce you to a whole group of new women. Go to the local rock climbing gym or trapeze club. ...

If you're hoping to increase your testosterone levels, diet isn't the only thing to consider. Exercise is an equally important part of increasing testosterone levels, which is why you should come up with an effective, yet sustainable fitness plan designed to maximize testosterone production.  Specific types of exercise, such as weightlifting, actually cause the body to produce more testosterone. Exercising decreases your chances of being overweight and, as discussed above, being overweight can negatively impact testosterone levels.  If you're not sure where to begin, it may be a good idea to enlist the services of a personal trainer who can develop an exercise plan specifically tailored to your current fitness level, along with your desired outcome. If you want to boost testosterone, you should begin to lift weights, as weight-lifting is the most effective form of exercise for increasing testosterone production. However, for best results, you will need to lift heavier weights with fewer repetitions, and it's probably best to avoid the weight machines altogether. Stick with free weights and follow the advice below:   Lift large muscle groups. Studies show that lifting larger muscle groups, which require complex, compound movements, is much more effective for producing testosterone than working just one or two smaller muscles. For this reason, you should stick with weight exercises such as bench presses, squats, deadlifts, and shoulder presses.  Try to work out with high volume. The type of exercises you perform will mean nothing if you don't have enough volume. You should be doing at least 3 to 4 sets of each compound exercise, using a weight you can only lift 5 times per set. The volume of your workout is determined by this formula: reps x sets x weight = volume. However, when it comes down to a choice between more repetitions or more sets, you should choose more sets every time.  Focus on high intensity. Push yourself hard in the gym - only by pushing yourself to your physical limit will you maximize your...

TL;DR in English: Develop an exercise plan and stick to it. Start lifting weights. Try high intensity interval training. Do some cardio. Allow your body to recover between workouts.

While you may want to pretend it never happened, try to understand the roots of the affair. Ask yourself or your partner, “Why did this happen?”; “What does it say about me/my partner?”; “What was the entry point?”; and “How did it go on?” Bringing up these points with yourself and with your partner can help you better understand the situation and the state of your current relationship. Once you have these discussions, you can start to find the holes in your current relationship and begin patching them together. Instead of waiting for problems to blow up or get out of control, talk about problems when things are going well. If you feel like there are things in the relationship that are going poorly, bring them up before they get out of hand; don’t wait for them to grow worse.  If changes in emotional or physical closeness occur, bring it up. Say, “I feel like we’re spending less time together, and I’m wondering why that may be.” If you notice your partner spending more time at work and giving less attention to the relationship, say something. If you got caught up in something and realized you didn’t have clear boundaries, sit down with your partner and create boundaries together that feel comfortable to both of you. Consider telling your partner what feels like cheating to you, and ask your partner the same question, “What feels like cheating to you?” Consider both physical and emotional aspects of cheating. What kind of touching is too much? What language or communication is excessive? What about if you tell someone else things you don’t tell your partner? Couples counseling can be helpful in bringing the two of you together to discuss openly what problems are occurring in the relationship, and what’s missing that the affair fulfilled. Counseling can help you two move into a place of restored respect and growth. For more information, check out How to Choose a Marriage Counselor.

TL;DR in English: Explore how the affair happened. Confront problems in the relationship. Discuss boundaries with your partner. See a couples counselor.

The worst feeling as a third wheel is never knowing how or when to be a part of a conversation between two romantic partners. Sometimes it’ll feel like you’re stuck on somebody’s else date, and maybe you are. So don’t be afraid not to participate when it doesn’t feel right.  Naturally, always speak when spoken to. Don’t be purposefully un-talkative or it might come off as rude. Chime in every once and awhile, especially in conversations the topics of which don’t involve their relationship. If they start talking about future plans, or reminiscing together, feel free to opt out. While it may certainly be an awkward situation for you, nothing will compound the awkwardness worse than acting awkwardly in response. Not butting into conversations that seem personal to the relationship is important here; being comfortable with your single-dom is crucial here as well.  Don’t point it out. You may feel compelled to make light of your situation by addressing it outright: “Feels weird being the only one here without a girlfriend;” “Always awkward being the third wheel, right?” Don’t make it seem any more than a conversation between friends. Let them go on in conversation. Sometimes being around others in a relationship will mean hearing about those relationships, possibly for a long time. Accept the situation and let them talk. It’s better than shifting the impetus of the conversation to yourself. When the couple you’re with is droning on to one another, or friends in relationships are chatting endlessly about fun couples activities, it’ll help to have a friend to text during the boredom. Use them to blow off steam about the awkwardness or poor conversation. If you’re stuck with a couple who has begun a disagreement, things can get uncomfortable fast. Many times couples will want you to weigh in on their squabble; don’t. You’ll only alienate one or the other of the people you’re with. Be upfront about your neutrality.  "Hey, let's not do this now. Try to keep it civil, we're out to have fun!" "I'm not going to be roped...

Do not take your temperature orally. Take your temperature orally.

Prepare to take your temperature. Take your temperature every morning. Make a coverline on your chart or graph. Use your temperatures to understand fertility.

If you believe the package may be suspicious, it is important that you do not shake, open, or empty the contents of the package. You should also avoid carrying the package or showing it to others to examine. If you determine it is suspicious, do not sniff, touch, taste, or look at any of the contents. Let anyone else known in the residence, home, or area, that you believe you have received a suspicious package. Place the package on a stable surface and leave the area. Make sure anyone else in the area also evacuates and do not allow anyone to enter the area with the suspicious package. If you have a ventilation system, like an air conditioner system or a heating system, turn it off so the contents of the package cannot circulate in the area. Give your hands a good wash with soap and water to prevent spreading any potentially dangerous substances to your face or skin. Once law enforcement officials arrive, they will be able to give you additional instructions on dealing with exposure to potentially dangerous substances. If you are at work, contact your supervisor or a security officer. Let them know you believe you have received a suspicious package and that they need to call local law enforcement.  If you are at home, use your cellphone or a neighbor’s phone to call your local law enforcement and report the suspicious package. Try to make a list of the people who were in the room or area where the suspicious package was recognized and anyone who many have handled the suspicious package. You should provide this list to local law enforcement when they arrive on the scene.

TL;DR in English: Do not shake or open the package. Alert others in the area and leave the package on a stable surface. Wash your hands. Call your local law enforcement agency.

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.

You'll need the same calendar that you've been using to chart your cervical mucus. While you can use any digital thermometer to take your daily temperature, it's best to use a Basal body thermometer which will give you the highest degree of accuracy. You'll be taking your temperature orally, although rectal temperatures are the most accurate. During your menstrual cycle, your body temperature changes subtly. You should be able to see the temperatures rise by about a degree following ovulation. They'll stay slightly higher until you start menstruating or they'll stay elevated (which can indicate pregnancy). You should take your temperature every morning before getting out of bed, eating, drinking, or using the bathroom. Take your temperature at the same time every morning. If you like, you can set an alarm, take your temperature, and go back to bed. Record your daily temperature on your charting calendar. You can also chart your temperature and cervical mucus on graphs that you can get from your doctor, a woman's health center, and most pharmacies. This will make it easier to see temperature shifts and confirm ovulation. Once you've been charting your temperatures for a while, you should notice that your body temperature usually stays around a certain temperature. You'll need to look for a temperature that is at least 0.2 degrees higher than the previous six days. Of those six days, look for the highest temperature. Draw a horizontal line that is 0.1 degree higher than that temperature to make your coverline. The coverline is simply an easy visual way to glance at your chart and see if you've ovulated and if your temperatures remain high (possibly due to pregnancy). Unlike cervical mucus, you won't be able to use your daily temperature to determine if you're fertile or not. This is because a noticeable temperature shift will happen after changes in fertility have already taken place. While this can be helpful in confirming that ovulation occurred, it makes it almost impossible to rely on temperature changes...

As a general rule, the insurance industry suggests that you carry life insurance in the amount of ten times your annual salary. Some factors to consider in calculating your insurance needs are,   the age of your children the amount of your mortgage the amount of car payments the amount of debt owed by your family whether your spouse works whether you need to pay for education for your children the amount of other sources of income and insurance the amount of your dependents’ financial needs the amount of life insurance you can afford You may want to speak with a reputable insurance agent to discuss which type of insurance works best for you. Generally, there are five types of insurance: term, whole, universal, variable, and universal variable.  Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific amount of time, typically has the lowest premiums, but those premiums will increase as you get older and renew the policy. This policy may be a good choice if you are looking to provide limited protection until your children are grown and able to support themselves.  Whole life insurance covers the insured for the entirety of their life so long as they pay the premiums. You may be able to borrow funds against the accumulated cash value of the policy but this type of insurance typically costs more than term life insurance. This insurance may be best for you if you want coverage for your entire life, you can afford more expensive premiums and you want the ability to withdraw cash value from the policy.  Universal life is similar to whole life in that it has whole life coverage as well as a cash value. However, the investment is tied to current market rates, which may impact the amount of your premium payment. A universal policy may be best for you if you want full life coverage, a guaranteed death benefit and a guaranteed interest amount but also the ability to choose how often you pay your premiums and the amount of your premiums.  Variable life insurance is also tied to investments such as stocks and money markets,...

TL;DR in English: Determine how much life insurance you need. Determine the type of insurance you need. Obtain quotes for life insurance.

Put petroleum jelly or lip balm on your lips to protect them from hot or cold conditions. Extreme weather can harm your lips and leave them chapped and dry, so be sure to give your lips a protective coating so they don't get red and chapped.  Petroleum jelly is a cheap and effective product that can moisturize your lips and prevent them from getting chapped. If you want some color on your lips, try a tinted lip balm or lip gloss. You can also put on lipstick over petroleum jelly if you want color and protection. Exposure to the sun can do a lot of damage to the surface of your lips. Look for a lip balm or chapstick that contains sunscreen and apply it daily before exposing your lips to the sun. Pick a lip balm or chapstick that has an SPF rating of 30 or higher. If your lips are tender or swollen, it could be caused by products you are putting on them. Keep track of your symptoms and stop using any products that may be irritating your lips. For example, many lip plumping products can be used safely but there is a chance that they will irritate your lips. If the product you are using is irritating or hard on the surface of your lips, stop using it. If you want to exfoliate your lips because they are peeling or coarse, you should only do it lightly and no more than once a week. While you can use beauty products designed for gentle exfoliation, you can also just use a soft toothbrush to gently rub the surface.  After exfoliating, apply a moisturizer to replenish your lips. Get a separate toothbrush to brush your lips. But make sure that it has got soft bristles.

TL;DR in English: Use moisturizing products on your lips. Apply sunscreen to your lips daily. Discontinue using products that irritate your lips. Exfoliate your lips lightly, if necessary.

Party girls always keep their looks on point, no matter how wild their nights get. The basic party girl uniform is a cute dress and a nice pair of heels.  Dress in a way that makes you feel comfortable. You want to wear something that's easy to move in and that makes you feel confident. You'll probably be dancing, so you need clothes you can move in. Don't wear clothes that are too tight or restricting. Pack a pair of flats in your purse. Many women in general carry an extra pair of comfortable shoes in their bags, but for party girls they are essential. No matter how skilled you are at dancing in heels, your feet will be hurting by the end of the night. Give them a break. If you must wear pants, make sure they're cute (and preferably tight) and match the dress code of wherever you plan on partying. You don't want the embarrassment of being turned away at the door because your venue of choice has a ban on jeans. The typical party girl wears a lot of makeup. If that's the look you like, go for it. Just make sure to wear makeup with staying power that isn't prone to sweating off. For long-lasting makeup, start with a moisturizing primer and top everything off with a translucent powder. Right now, the party girl look is all about smoky, heavy eye makeup. If you want to follow this trend, pack on the dark eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara. This means that your hair should be in a manageable style that stays in place. You don't want it coming undone while you dance.  If you want to wear your long hair down for part of the night, try pulling it back in a ponytail when you dance. For a classier look, you can also try a bun or some other type of updo. Just make sure your hair is secure before you go out. If it starts to come undone halfway through the night, it's better to just take your hair down completely. A party girl will enjoy partying most when she's self-confident and happy with herself. Self-confidence will boost your charisma and make you the life of the party.   Build your self-confidence, be confident and...

Choose your yarn and needles. Cast on 40 stitches. Knit in garter stitch for 32 rows. Place a colored thread on the last row. Continue to knit an additional 34 rows. Knit 20 stitches and continue for 39 rows. Turn the pattern around and stitch the other leg. Knit the first arm. Repeat this for the other arm.

Look him in the eye to show that you are interested in and engaged with what he is saying. Allow your face to demonstrate that you are emotional and supportive. Be dynamic and engaged, possibly nodding in affirmation. Crossed legs and arms may suggest that you are closed off or uninviting. Try to sit straight up, with your limbs open. Your body should appear relaxed and you can gesture with your hands to show emotional support.  Also be sure that your body is facing directly toward the grieving person to indicate that you are engaged with her. Sit on the same level as the person you are talking to. Do not take a chair that allows you to tower over her, or her over you. This creates a sense of power imbalance that is not helpful for open conversation. Talk naturally and allow your voice to show emotion. Try to develop a soothing tone in your voice. Your conversation style should also demonstrate that you are there to listen. Don’t interrupt him, jump from topic to topic, or rush him to an answer. It is okay to leave periods of silence. These allow him to think about his feelings and ensure that he does not feel that he has been cut off or is rushed to respond.

TL;DR in English: Look him in the eye. Keep your body open and relaxed. Talk like you care.

If you generally say yes to most requests, you may lose touch with how you actually feel about having someone in your house. If someone shows up at your door and says, “Can I come in?” or, “Can I stay over?” take a moment and tune into your body. If you're genuinely happy to see them, let them in. However, if you don't want to get up to open the door, your first reaction is a groan, or you feel knots in your stomach after they ask, it's clear that the person is not welcome.  If you get a “no” answer from your body, tell your friend, “This isn't a good time. I'm sorry.” Sometimes it can be helpful to talk through how you are feeling with your partner or a trusted friend to get to the bottom of how you really feel. There may be some situations that excite you and some that deplete you depending on whether you are an introvert or extrovert. Introverts prefer to spend most of their time alone, while extroverts prefer to spend most of their time with other people. If you are not sure which type you are, then you can take the Myers & Briggs test to find out. For example, you may feel excited when an old friend shows up unannounced, yet feel depleted after they stay for more than a few hours. Are there situations that feel good and others that feel bad? Are there certain people you can tolerate and others you cannot? Begin to notice what situations energize you and which ones drain you. This can help you to become clearer on what limits you can set and how you might enforce them. For example, you might like the person who drops in, but hate that they come to unload all of their negativity onto you. If you're constantly bending your own needs to accommodate others, you may lose sleep, feel angry or upset, lose money, or overextend yourself. If you know that having someone over will drain you or affect you negatively, say something.  You can say, “I'm really stressed and I need some alone time right now” or, “I'm working on a project and I need to concentrate by myself.” If you notoriously neglect your own needs, get...

TL;DR in English: Check with your body. Notice what energizes and drains you. Prioritize your needs. Tolerate others' reactions.

Choose your yarn based on the color bear you would like to make. You want the knitting to be dense enough that the stuffing does not show through the material so use needles 2-3 sizes smaller than you would normally use for the yarn you have chosen. Casting on is the process of starting the first stitches on the knitting needle before beginning to knit. There are many different methods for casting on depending on your experience level and the look you want to try. Easy beginner methods include the backwards loop cast on and the long tail cast on. Garter stitch is great for this project because it forms a sturdy and flexible piece of knitting. It is also a good stitch for beginners to learn and you can remember it with the poem “back, around, over and under.” When you reach row 32 place a colored thread in the middle of the row to mark the location of the neck. Keep knitting in garter stitch for an additional 34 rows so that you end up with 66 total rows. At each end of this final row, place a colored thread. These colored threads mark where the body stops and the legs begin. Knit 20 stitches, which is half the width of the pattern, and then continue for an additional 39 rows. Cast off at the end of these 40 total rows. This is your first leg. Turn the pattern around and rejoin the yarn to the other 20 stitches on the body of the pattern. Knit 40 rows on this side of the pattern, completing the other leg. Once finished, cast off these stitches. Starting on a new section, cast on 20 stitches and then knit 40 rows. Cast off. This forms one of the arms of your teddy bear and will be attached later. Again, cast on 20 stitches and then knit 40 rows to create the piece for the second arm of your teddy.

Use the speed of the boat or jet ski to pull you up onto the board. Sit in the water with the board by your feet. Place your heels on the board close to the edge. Get the boat moving slowly until the line is tense. Bend your knees and keep the line in front of your body. Let the boat pull you up as it gains speed. Turn the board so that your dominant foot is towards the boat. Keep your chest up, arms straight, and feet staggered to start riding.

Many kitchen supply stores sell coffee spoons. These scoops typically equal 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml), which is the average amount of coffee used in a standard cup. The downside is that all coffee has a different density, so you won’t always end up with exactly 2 tablespoons (29.57 ml).  For example, a scoop of finely-ground coffee is less dense than a coarsely-ground coffee, which means less coffee in a scoop. Darker roasts are also less dense than lighter roasts. To make this easy, use a kitchen measuring cup. They are available anywhere kitchen supplies are sold. Fill the cup ¾ full, which is about 177 milliliters (6  fl oz). Dip the spoon into the coffee grounds to scoop out a full 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml). If you don’t have a coffee spoon, you can use your regular kitchen measuring spoons. Add the grounds to your coffee machine or French press.  If you’re using coffee beans, grind them first, then scoop 2 tablespoons of grounds. To make a mug of coffee, add another ⅓ tablespoon of grounds. Add the ingredients to your coffee maker, then adjust them to get the strength of coffee you desire. After brewing, note the coffee’s taste so you can change the ratios next time to make it even better.

TL;DR in English: Get a coffee spoon to roughly measure coffee. Pour the water into a measuring cup. Scoop the coffee with the coffee spoon. Brew the coffee as you normally would.

The theory of wakeskating is not incredibly difficult to understand, but putting it into practice is much harder. You start in the water with your heels on the top of the board and the board perpendicular to the back of the boat. Holding onto a rope attached the boat, let the boat pull you behind it until you have enough speed to stand up on the board. Once your stand, you pivot your feet so that the front of the board faces the boat, and you're off. Getting up is almost identical to a getting up on a wakeboard. Before you tell the boat to get moving, get comfortable in this seated position. Your butt should be the lowest point, with your lifejacket keeping your head and torso above the water. The board will be perpendicular to the boat.  If you are right-footed, the front of the board faces to the right. This is also known as "goofy" stance, or "goofy-footed." If you are left-footed, the front of the board faces to the left. This is a standard, or regular, stance. Your toes will be near the center of the board. Keep your heels on the board so that you could push down on them and flip the far edge of the board towards you if you wanted to. There will be 2-4 inches between the edge of the board and you heels. This will "push" the board up to your feet so that your entire sole is on the board. The pressure of the water will keep the board on your feet. Bend your knees about halfway, like you were preparing to jump off the board. Your arms will be straight in front of you so that your hands are ahead of your knees. Think of performing a squat (without weight) -- your knees are bent, your butt is down, and your arms are strong. This takes some practice, but once you get a feel for the balance it is actually not too difficult. Once the board is comfortably on your feet and the line is taut, slowly stand up on the board. With your knees relaxed, keep your hands out in front and unbend your knees as you let the boat pull you to a standing position.  The boat should be going 13-16mph. Don't lock your knees -- they...
