Toxic friendships are detrimental to your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Is your jealous friend really just a toxic individual? If so, your attempts to rationally discuss their jealous behavior may prove fruitless. Common characteristics of toxic individuals include:  Need to control others Disregard for personal boundaries Selfishness Need to always be right Dishonesty Inability to accept responsibility for their actions Tendency to play the victim If your friend is a toxic individual, it may be in your best interest to take steps to either confront their negative behavior in an effort to improve or end the relationship. When you confront their harmful behavior:  Acknowledge that you are coming from a place of love and honesty. “In the best interest of our friendship and my wellbeing, I must tell you the truth. Tell them explicitly how you feel. “I feel _______ when you _______.” Ask them to stop their behavior. “Are you willing to stop _______ so that we can have a healthier relationship?” Boundaries can provide structure and stability to a toxic relationship. Once you set these boundaries, they are non-negotiable—do not let your friend bully you into changing the boundaries. You can start to set boundaries for your toxic relationship by answering these questions:  When can your friend contact you? How can they contact you? In what circumstances will you contact your friend? How will you contact them if you must get ahold of them? Will you ignore or acknowledge them when you see them in public? Will you block them on social media? May they remain in contact with your family members? If this individual can not honor the terms of your agreement, it is time to sever ties. Let them know that you can no longer maintain a relationship with them. When you confront this individual, have a clear and concise explanation ready.  They may pressure you for further details or attempt to manipulate your words. If this occurs, remind yourself that you don't need to justify your decision.  Ending this...

TL;DR in English: Determine if this friendship is worth saving. Confront the toxic friend. Set clear boundaries. End the relationship and move on.

Review your job description and responsibilities and rate your performance in each area. Being honest about how you are doing will help you determine what areas you need to work on to improve your job performance.  You can rate whether you are ‘exceeding expectations’, ‘meeting expectations’, or ‘need improvement’ in each area. Make a list of strengths and weaknesses in each area. For example, you might put that you’re good at writing reports, but don’t submit them on time. One way to get an idea of how you are performing on the job is to ask your co-workers. Their perceptions of your work can give you an idea of what areas you need to improve in and what areas you are doing well in.  You could ask them to write a few words on a sticky note that describe your work performance and put it in an envelope for that purpose on your desk. For example, you could say, “Would you write a few words about my work on here and put it in the envelope hanging outside my cubicle?” You could also create a brief, anonymous online survey for them to complete. If you are comfortable with it, you could ask for feedback face to face. You might say, “Would you give me some feedback on my work performance?” This might be the most important feedback you can receive. This will let you know how your supervisor thinks you are doing and how they think you can improve your job performance. It will also give insight into what exactly your supervisor is looking for in a great employee.  Most companies have specific times of the year when they evaluate employees. Check with your supervisor to see when your next evaluation is due. You could say, “How long after I have been employed will it be before I am evaluated?” Or, “When do we have our evaluations?” You can always ask your supervisor for informal feedback regarding your work performance or a specific task or assignment. For example, you might ask your boss, “Would you mind meeting with me about how I did on this last report?” Talk to your supervisor about the review and what implications...

TL;DR in English: Conduct an honest self-evaluation. Ask co-workers to evaluate you. Complete an evaluation with your supervisor. Address a poor performance review. Compile a list of your strengths. Make a list of your areas for improvement. Set performance goals for yourself.

If the water isn't clear, you need to filter it first. You can use a clean piece of cloth. You can also use a coffee filter or paper towels. If none of these are available, allow the water to sit until you see clear water at the top. Spoon or draw off the clear water, being careful not to disturb the sediment at the bottom. If the water is already clear, you don't need to take this step. One way to draw off water is to use a clean towel. Roll it tightly into a rope-like tube. Place one end in the drinking water and the other end in a container to hold the water. The end in the new container should be several inches below the end in the water. The water will wet the towel, then drip off the end. Though you've found a source of water, it may not be safe to drink. Even if you have access to tap water, it could be contaminated if pipes are broken or flooded.  Boil the water for a full minute. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, make sure it boils for a full minute or for 3 minutes above 6,500 feet.  Store in sanitized containers. If you can't boil water, you can disinfect the water with chemicals. Add chlorine bleach (5-6%) to water at a ratio of 1/8 teaspoon per gallon if your water is clear. If it's not, you need to double the amount to 1/4 teaspoon per gallon. Make sure to incorporate the bleach thoroughly. Let it sit for 1/2 an hour before drinking. Once disinfected, the water should be kept in clean, sanitized containers.

TL;DR in English: Filter the water. Boil water. Disinfect water as an alternative.

New growth on Wandering Jew plants often attracts tiny green insects called aphids. They're usually found near stems. One effective treatment is pinching off or pruning the affected stems and heavily misting the remaining plant with water. You can also use a hose or high-powered stream of water to blast them off of the leaves. Mist your plant often. When the humidity is low, your plant's leaves will turn brown, but periodic water misting will help the leaves stay vibrant. Keeping the leaves wet will also help with any aphid problems your plant may develop. Fill a spray bottle with water and just  mist until the leaves are lightly moistened.  Brown leaves can also be a sign that your plant is getting too much sunlight. In this case, make sure your plant is not directly in the sun by moving the pot or placing a filter, such as a curtain, in between the plant and the window. Try to use distilled or bottled water when misting the leaves for the best results. Leaves that lack their notable vibrancy and color are probably not getting enough sunlight. Gradually increase the amount of sun your plant receives so that you don't shock the plant. This might involve moving the pot closer to a window that receives more light or finding a sunnier spot in the yard for your plant. If the plant is fading in color, but the leaves are turning a faded yellow, the plant may be getting too much water and the roots are rotting. If this is happening, the plant is probably not putting on much new growth, if any. You'll need to cut out the portion of the plant that is rotting, make a cutting from a healthy part of the plant, and replant it.

TL;DR in English: Treat aphids. Refresh brown leaves. Restore faded leaves. Remove root rot.

Bring the ribbon on the inside of the pointe shoe across the top of your foot. Wrap the ribbon across the top of your foot so the ribbon lies just on top of your protruding outer ankle bone. Bring the ribbon across the back of your ankle (over your Achilles tendon), and back to the side of your inner ankle.  Make sure you pull tight enough on the ribbon so there aren’t any folds or gaps when the ribbon crosses your foot.  The inside ribbon is going to be wrap around your ankle more than the outside ribbon. This will give your ankles added stability. While holding the inside ribbon in place on the inside of your ankle, use your other hand to cross the outside ribbon over the top of your foot to the opposite inner side of your ankle. Bring the outside ribbon over the inside ribbon you are holding in place, and wrap it around the back of your ankle (across your Achilles tendon). Then bring it back to the front of your foot (staying above your outer ankle bone), and bring it straight across the front of your ankle. You should bring it all the way over the front of your ankle, to meet with the inner ribbon you have been holding in place on the inside of your ankle. Again, make sure that you are wrapping the ribbon tight enough that there are no gaps or folds in the ribbon, and then ribbon is taut against your skin. With both ribbons at your inner ankle, bring the outer ribbon under the inner ribbon that you had been holding in place, loop the outer ribbon over the inner ribbon, and feed the outer ribbon down through the hole between the crossed ribbons and your ankle. Pull both ribbons taut. Then repeat that same looping and pulling motion with the outer ribbon to make a tight knot. The knot should fall on the side of the ankle, in the divot between the inner ankle bone and the back of the ankle on top of the Achilles tendon. This is the perfect spot for the knot to be placed so the pointe shoe ribbons can still keep a relatively flat profile on the ankle. Once the knot is made, turn the remaining ribbon strands...

If you have anemia caused by an iron deficiency, you need to get more iron in your diet. Men and non-menstruating women need about 10 mg of iron a day. Menstruating women or nursing mothers should have 15 mg of iron a day, while pregnant women need 30 mg. Eat at least 2 to 3 servings of iron-rich foods every day to help get this dosage of iron. Iron-rich foods include:  Red meat, liver, poultry, pork, and fish Spinach, mustard greens, collard greens, Swiss chard, beet greens, all different kinds of lettuce, broccoli, and kale Tofu, soy milk, and other soy products Legumes, such as peas, white beans, red beans, baked bean, chickpeas, and soybeans Dried fruits, such as raisins, apricots, and prunes Prune juice Whole grain cereals and breads that have been iron-fortified Certain foods can cause your body to decrease its iron absorption. If you are trying to up your iron intake, do not drink tea, coffee, or cocoa with your meals because they lower the amount of iron you absorb. You should also not take an iron supplement with your meals. Avoid milk and dairy products for at least an hour after taking iron because the calcium in dairy products may decrease iron absorption. If you are suffering from a vitamin B12 deficiency that is causing your anemia, you need to get more of this nutrient from your diet. You should be getting 2.5 mcg of B12 every day. If you are pregnant, you should get 2.6 mcg per day. If you are nursing, you should be getting 2.8 mcg every day. Eat at least 2 to 3 servings of vitamin B12-rich foods every day to get these daily amounts. Foods rich in vitamin B12 include:  Breakfast cereals fortified with vitamin B12 Beef, liver, poultry, sardines, salmon, tuna, and cod Eggs, milk, yogurt, and cheese Foods with added vitamin B12, such as soy-based beverages and vegetarian burgers Deficiencies of folate, another form of vitamin B, can also cause anemia. Men over 13 years old should have 400 mcg of folate per day. Women over 13, pregnant women, and women who are breastfeeding should have 400 to 600...

TL;DR in English: Get more dietary iron. Avoid iron-decreasing foods. Ingest more vitamin B12. Consume more folate. Eat more vitamin C. Make sure you get enough of each vitamin or mineral. Take supplements if your doctor recommends it. Avoid getting too much of any vitamin or mineral. Get retested.

Avoid placing pressure on the burn, and do not scrape the affected skin.  If the burn is on your arm, for instance, try to use your opposite arm and wear short-sleeved shirts.  If the burn is major, raise the burned area above the level of your heart.  This may require laying down and, for instance, propping a burned leg up with pillows. Ibuprofen or acetaminophen are over-the-counter medications that can help relieve pain and swelling.  Do not give aspirin to children younger than 12 years old. Apply lotion to the burn.  Aloe vera lotion or gel can provide pain relief and reduce swelling. Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is a bacterial infection commonly associated with burns and can lead to painful muscular contractions in the jaw and neck.  Even minor burn injuries require a tetanus shot if you have not had one in the past ten years. If you still have pain with a minor burn after 48 hours, contact your doctor.  If the burn has not healed within three weeks, you should also consult a medical professional.

TL;DR in English:


Stop expecting others to read your mind. State your feelings directly. Express your needs. Avoid escape mechanisms.

Although you can collect cardamom seeds from capsules that you've purchased from the grocery store, it's best to buy cardamom seeds from an agricultural supply company. These seeds will be free from disease and are more likely to thrive. Buy the seeds from local gardening supply stores or from online agricultural supply companies. The soil should be slightly sandy so it drains gradually. You can purchase loamy soil from most garden centers. If you're planning on transplanting the seedlings to your outside garden, you can use any size container. If you're going to leave the seeds in the container and grow the plants to maturity, use a pot that's at least 1 foot (0.30 m) deep and 6 inches (15 cm) wide. Push a few of the seeds into the containers and cover each with 1⁄8 inch (0.32 cm) of soil. Water the seeds so the soil is completely moist. Start as many cardamom seeds as you like, but plant them about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart in the container so you can thin and transplant them once they start growing. The cardamom should germinate after about 30 to 45 days. This means you should see the cardamom plants begin to poke up through the soil. Continue to water so the soil stays moist and leave the seedlings in the container until you see at least 2 leaves on the seedlings. It will take around 90 days for the seedlings to become large enough to transplant outside.

TL;DR in English: Get cardamom seeds from a grocery or agricultural supply store. Fill containers with loamy soil. Plant the seeds 1⁄8 inch (0.32 cm) deep. Grow the cardamom until it sprouts a few leaves.

One of the major causes of hair loss is inflammation, which is a common occurrence when your body isn't getting enough nutrients or is stressed from an underlying condition. Omega-3 fatty acids help to reduce inflammation and can lead to a reduction in hair loss as well as potentially helping your hair grow back.  Fish oil and flaxseed oil are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Take 2 capsules or 1 tablespoon of oil every day. You can also consume omega-3s in the form of salmon, oysters, walnuts, and flaxseed in addition to supplementing your diet with capsules or pure oil. Zinc aids in the synthesis of hair keratin, and it's common to have a deficiency. A zinc deficiency can also lead to hypothyroidism, which is another cause of hair loss. Make sure you're taking in plenty of zinc by eating oysters, shellfish, poultry and other zinc-rich foods and consider taking a supplement in the amount of 30 mg every day. Anemia, which is a condition in which your blood has too few red blood cells, is a common cause for hair loss. Taking iron supplements can help to cure anemia, bringing life back to languishing hair follicles. This isn't a cure-all, however; only take iron supplements if you know you're anemic. See your doctor to determine whether iron supplements could help you stop losing hair.  It is recommend that you get most of your iron through iron-rich foods like spinach, tofu, beans, oysters, and beef. Supplement an iron-rich diet with 325 milligrams per day of iron. Iron deficiency is more common in women than men, especially around the time of menstruation. Biotin is a B-vitamin that's essential for hair growth. If your biotin levels are low, you may have brittle hair and nails. The general daily recommended dosage of biotin is 2.5 mg, but it's important to consult with your doctor to make sure you take the right amount for your needs.  Don't take more than the recommended daily dosage, since overdosing on biotin is just as unhealthy as having too little in your system.  Most hair loss is not caused by a...

If other people were going to understand your needs without you telling them, they would have understood by now. Good communication skills involve both speaking and listening. A simple conversation can clear up a big misunderstanding. If you're trying to express yourself via pouting, sulking, or otherwise acting out, you cannot expect to be understood. Recognize that the only way another person will understand you is if you reach out to that person.  For example, you feel you're being asked to do too much at work. Have you told people in your office you need help or have you simply acted cold towards others? If you have not told anyone you need help on a project, chances are they don't know. Being cold towards your co-workers is not really communication and, chances are, no one knows what the problem is on your end. The first step to direct communication is stating your feelings. When expressing yourself, focus on what you're feeling. Try to abandon any mentalities you have convincing yourself you're inherently the victim or things are inherently stacked against. All you can know for sure are your own feelings, so focus on expressing these.  Start with the words, "I feel..." when expressing yourself and then briefly state your feelings and the behaviors causing them. This reduces blame as you're focusing on your personal reactions over objective facts. For example, do not say, "You guys gave me too short notice for this project and now I have to work harder than everyone else in the office." Instead, say something like, "I feel overwhelmed because I didn't get enough notice about the project." Focus on the present moment. Express how you feel now. Do not let past emotions or problems control how you act now. People with martyr syndrome may hesitate to express their needs as they feel comfortable with the victim mentality. Rather than reaching out and explaining what people can do to help, you may prefer to view your situation as hopeless and harbor resentments. However, this is unhealthy long term and can...

Once everyone is in the water the Shark yells, "Sharks and Minnows!" or "Shark attack!" at any time to start “tagging” players. When the Shark yells this, the Minnows' goal is to reach the other end of the pool without being tagged by the Shark.  If the Shark tags a Minnow, that Minnow becomes a Shark and joins the Shark's team. They now begin tagging Minnows to turn them into Sharks. When the Minnows have made it to the other side of the pool without being tagged, they wait. The Shark calls “fishy, fishy...” again and they try to return to the other side of the pool. The original Shark calls, "Shark Attack" and the process repeats. The last remaining Minnow is the winner. This player becomes the Shark in the next round. It becomes harder as more and more Minnows become Sharks. The game lasts until there is only one Minnow left. If you started out with more than one Shark, the last two Minnows become the next Sharks. Begin the next game with the winner from the last round, the new Shark. They now stand in the center of the pool and the Minnows line up on the pool deck facing the Shark. Let the game begin.

TL;DR in English: Avoid the Shark. Play until there is a winner. Start with a new Shark.

One of the most important things to learn when practicing any singing style is how to breath from your diaphragm.  This allows you to take in more oxygen, helping you to hold notes (or screams) for much longer and avoid getting out of breath while performing. When you breathe from your diaphragm your stomach should expand as you inhale and contract when you exhale. Learning how to breathe correctly and naturally from your diaphragm takes practice. Therefore you should start doing daily deep breathing exercises to improve your technique. You will have different levels of tension in your vocal chords depending on how high or low you sing or scream.  For example, when you sing in a low voice your voice box will move down, making your vocal chord tension loose. When you sing in a high voice your voice box moves up, making your vocal chords tight. Good screamo singing is all about control, and in order to have control you need to be aware of how vocal chord tension works and how you can manipulate it. Once you can control vocal tension, you will easily be able to move between high and low registers, even while screaming. A good practice technique is to hum along with the sound of your car engine as you rev it up -- this warms up your vocal chords and allows you to practice moving from high to low registers. Many inexperienced screamo singers damage their voices by trying to scream too loudly -- however, one of the best kept secrets of successful singers is that they actually scream kind of quietly (as weird and contradictory as that sounds).  Don't try to scream at the top of your lungs on your first attempt, start at a low volume and as your voice gets stronger you can gradually increase the volume.  The beauty of screamo is that you can let the microphone do most of the work while you're performing. Even a "quiet" scream can rattle your audience's teeth when amplified by a good sound system. You can also produce deeper sounds by cupping your hands around the microphone or by moving your mouth in specific ways as...

TL;DR in English: Breathe from your diaphragm. Get the right vocal tension. Start at a low volume. Record yourself singing. Work with a vocal coach.

If your whooping cough infection is diagnosed by your doctor in time (within two to three weeks) antibiotics such as erythromycin can make your symptoms go away more quickly because they can directly kill the Bordetella pertussis bacterial strain. However, most people are diagnosed too late (beyond three weeks), when antibiotics tend to be relatively ineffective. Ask your doctor if you're a good candidate to take antibiotics for whooping cough or not.  Even if it's too late to make much difference in your symptoms, taking antibiotics can help reduce the risk of you spreading the disease to others. If your whooping cough is particularly severe, your family members may also be given antibiotics by your doctor for prevention. If you are given antibiotics (typically for two weeks), make sure to follow your doctor's directions exactly, even if you start to feel much better before finishing all the medication. In addition to antibiotics, you can also treat whooping cough holistically, but check with your doctor on which home remedies are most effective. Although many people with whooping cough try to use various types of cough syrups to reduce or suppress their symptoms, most are not helpful and can actually prevent getting rid of mucus build up. As such, avoid all cough mixtures, expectorants and suppressants. Instead, focus more on keeping well hydrated (lots of water) and breathing in clean air.  Drinking lots of purified water (at least eight 8-ounce glasses per day) helps wash mucus down so your airways aren't as clogged. Breathing clean air helps to reduce triggering coughing spells. Keep your home free of irritants such as tobacco smoke, cleaning products and fireplace fumes. The best way to prevent whooping cough is to vaccinate your child and get booster shots as an adolescent and adult. The pertussis vaccine is typically given to children in a combination vaccine that gives protection from two other diseases, diphtheria and tetanus. Consequently, the combo vaccine is known as the DTaP vaccine.  Five DTaP...

This game works best with a small to medium-sized group of people so that everyone gets a chance to ask a question. If the group is too big, you may reach the end of the game without giving everyone a turn. This is a great game to play on a road trip or with a group of friends to pass the time. You can pick anyone in your group to go first. Try assigning them based on who the youngest is, who had the most recent birthday, or something silly, like who can eat a piece of pizza the fastest. You can also pick which order everyone takes turns guessing the same way. For example, going from youngest to oldest or in order of birth month. ” Think about someone or something that you know enough about to answer some basic questions on. If you choose a person, they can be living, deceased, or even fictional. Make sure you choose a person, place, or thing that most people in your group know about.  For example, your item could be “Marylin Monroe,” since she is famous enough that most people will be able to make guesses about her. You could also choose something like New York City, the Eiffel Tower, or even clouds or the sun. Try not to use items like “my mom” or “my dog” unless you are with your siblings or best friends, because the players might not know enough about them to guess. ” If you are a guesser, you are trying to figure out what the “it” person is thinking of. Try using a fairly general opening question that can be answered with “yes” or “no” to narrow down your options. For example:  “Is it a person?” “Is it a place?” “Is it an object?” “Is it real or fictional?” You can ask questions in any order that you’d like, but make sure each player gets to ask at least 1 question. If a player asks a question that can’t be answered with “yes” or “no,” ask them to rephrase it so that it can be. For example, a player couldn’t ask, “How old are they?” or “What do they look like?” They could ask, “Are they older than 50?” or, “Do they have blonde hair?” Think about the questions that have already been asked before you ask...

TL;DR in English: Gather a group of 2 to 5 people to play the game. Choose 1 person to be “it” first. Pick a person, place, or thing if you are “it. Start by asking general yes or no questions if you are not “it. Take turns asking yes or no questions. Ask more specific questions as you go along. Play until you reach 20 questions or someone gives the right answer. Make the correct guesser the next “it” person.

Whenever you meet someone new, greet them warmly.  Try to find something in common with them.    Don’t be afraid to initiate a conversation.  Even if you’re naturally shy, go up and talk to someone if you want to.  You may want to find an “excuse” to talk to them (like giving them something they dropped or asking them what time it is). If you recognize someone from school or a club or activity, or if you have a mutual friend, bring that up. Ask new friends questions about themselves.  People love to talk about themselves, and asking them questions rather than spending most of the time talking about yourself will leave a better first impression. Avoid gossiping or talking badly about others.  Though this can be tempting, it can leave a bad impression or you may offend your new friend unintentionally. Try to determine why you have the friends that you currently have and what things you have in common.  Reach out to friends that you would like to spend more time with.  A simple call or text every now and then can help you maintain or recover old relationships. If you have any friends who are possessive or controlling of your time—particularly if you start spending time with new people—you may want to distance yourself from them. Deepening friendships makes the friends more likely to invite you along to parties that they are going to attend. The more friends you have, the more likely it is that someone will invite you to a party.  Ask new friends to introduce you to their other friends.  Try to maintain those friendships too. Some party invitations are organized online, and you need to be connected with others to get an invitation.

TL;DR in English: Be friendly to everyone. Evaluate your existing friendships. Invite new (or existing) friends to spend time with you. Meet your new friends’ other friends. Become connected with new friends on social networks.

Similar to agaves, these kinds of succulents should only be pruned for dead leaves, as well as armament located on the ends of their leaves. Never remove green leaves, as they are necessary for food production, as well as the general growth and health of the plants. Leave dead leaves on the trunk of taller yuccas and nolinas to protect from water loss during the summer and low temperatures during the winter. These succulents have similar growth patterns as yuccas and nolinas. Cutting off dead leaves is not necessary, but good for improving appearance. Otherwise, prune minimally and never cut off green leaves. Don't sculpt these plants into patterns, such as spirals it's unnatural—and can hinder growth. As one of the easiest succulents to maintain, focus on keeping fresh, growing heads and stems. These plants require minimal pruning, so don't trim them just for the sake of it. Never remove flower spikes before they have bloomed (this means never pruning them into squares or balls). Focus on individual stems that are dead or unruly by cutting them back to their base and let remaining stems continue growing to produce flowers. Never cut them off at the top, as it will stunt plant growth and lead to unnatural form and height. Cutting ocotillos too high leads to thin and irregular branches as opposed to sturdy ones. Never trim parts of the pads off—always remove full pads. As a general rule, it should always be easy for viewers to determine where the plant was pruned recently.  Remove stems that are broken or diseased. The small cacti characterized by columns, such as Cleistocactus, Echinocereus, and Stenocereus, should always be pruned at ground level—never the top. This ruins their natural shape and leaves numerous cuts that are susceptible to disease. Never use cacti as hedges, as their armament can cause harm. Cut the tips from the end of the leaves as they unfold. Pruning spines can cause browning on the tip of some leaves, but it's nothing to worry about. Focus on pruning these succulents after they bloom,...

TL;DR in English: Cut off damaged leaves from yuccas and nolinas. Remove only damaged leaves from dasylirions. Cut off spent flower stems and dead foliage from hesperaloes. Trim ocotillo stems that have died or become too tall. Trim cacti at the joints where the pads connect. Remove spines at the end of agave leaves.

Part of getting a nicer and healthier body may be to lose or gain some weight.  Being at a healthy weight will help you look great, but also make sure that you're a healthy person.  If you're either underweight or overweight you're at increased risk for a variety of health issues.  Underweight individuals are at increased risk for infection, osteoporosis and other nutrient deficiencies, hair loss and loss of lean muscle mass.  On the other end of the spectrum, being overweight can lead to increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.  To find out how many calories you need each day, input your height, age and gender into an online calorie calculator.  This will give you an idea of how much you should be eating daily. If you want to lose weight, try subtracting 500 calories from your total calorie goal.  This generally results in a 1-2 pound weight loss each week.  If you're interested in gaining some weight, try adding in about 250 calories to your total goal.  You'll generally gain about 0.5-1 pounds per week. When you're trying to lose weight and improve the health of your body, it's important to focus on consuming a well-balanced and nutritious diet.  A well balanced diet is one which contains foods from all 5 food groups most days.  In addition, you should eat a wide variety of foods from within each food group as well - this helps with the overall variety of your diet. When you consume a well-balanced diet you will most likely consume adequate amounts of each nutrient that you need each day.  It also reduces your risk for any possible nutrient deficiencies. Also follow appropriate portion sizes of each food and include the right amount of servings daily. Include a serving of protein foods at each meal, 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day and 2-3 servings of whole grains daily.  One serving of protein is 3-4 oz, 1/2 cup of fruit, 1 cup of vegetables or 2 cups of leafy greens, 1/2 cup or 1 oz of grains. When you're trying to eat healthier to support a nicer body, try to...

TL;DR in English: Monitor calories. Eat a balanced diet. Go for nutrient dense foods. Limit processed foods. Drink adequate fluids.

Lay the blinds on a flat surface so that the sticker that says “Insert Wand Stem” is facing up and located on the upper left corner. Take the sticker off and insert the wand stem, which should’ve come along with the packaging. Hold one of your mounting brackets against the top of the window and away from the glass. Place a spacer behind it to ensure that it’s in the correct location. Make sure the brackets are positioned so that the latches hinge at the top of the bracket and open out. If possible, have a friend help you with this part. Once you have a bracket held in the position you want it in, hold a screw against one of the holes on the side of the bracket. Tap the screw gently with a hammer to create a starter hole. Do this again on another one of the holes located on the side of the bracket. Repeat this process on the other side of the window where the other bracket is located. Put the end of 1 of your screws into 1 of your starter holes while holding the bracket in place. Make sure that your hand that’s holding the bracket is as far away from the screw as possible, and then use a power drill to drill the screw in. If you aren’t comfortable with using a power drill, you can also do this with a screwdriver. Larger sets of blinds often have a support bracket that should be located at the top center of the window. If this came with your set of blinds, install it after your mounting brackets are in place. This should help keep the middle of your blinds from sagging.

Take screenshots of important customer service numbers and links. If you need to cancel the order, you will have easy access to the company’s cancellation procedure. Some e-commerce websites are better than others for canceling orders. Most big name retailers and Amazon has a cancellation procedure in place, while some consumer-to-consumer sites, like eBay may not allow order cancellations on some purchases. If the retailer doesn’t list a cancellation policy, but you follow up, courts and credit card companies often still file in favor of the customer. If the company says that cancellations are not accepted, it is unlikely that you will receive support through your credit card company. Your best bet for a full cancellation and refund is to catch it before it ships. Sign into your account and find your order listed. Then, click “Cancel” or fill out the cancellation form with your name, email, phone number, confirmation number, order number and a reason for the cancellation. Make sure to include your name, email, phone number, confirmation number, order items, order number and a reason for the cancellation. This is faster than email if the website has a 24-7 customer service line. It is a good idea to try both the email/order cancellation form method and call to ensure your cancellation is received. The customer service rep may give you a confirmation number by phone. Keep this for future reference. Note that some refunds take 30 days to show up on your billing statement. Follow up if the money is not credited within 15 to 30 days.

TL;DR in English: Keep copies of all order confirmations. Know your merchants. Try to cancel the online order as soon as possible. Search for an online form on which to cancel your order. Write an email that includes these details to the customer service department if the website instructs you to do so. Call the customer service number provided on the confirmation email or order page. Look for a cancellation confirmation email. Check your credit card bill to ensure that you have been refunded the money if you successfully cancelled the order before shipping.

Once you have written the opening of your horror story, you should read them out loud to hear how they sound on the page. Note if the opening lines feel unsettling or disturbing. Check if the opening lines contain plot, characterization, setting, and voice. You may also read the opening lines out loud to a trusted friend or peer to get a second opinion. Ask your listener if they find the story creepy, disturbing, or horrifying. Be willing to take constructive criticism and feedback about the opening, as getting a second viewpoint on the beginning can make it stronger. Often, cracking the beginning lines can make it easier to then write the rest of the story. Once you have created a satisfying ending to your horror story, you should go back and revise the beginning. This will ensure your beginning still fits with where your story ended up. You should consider if the beginning section flows well with the rest of the story. You should also adjust the beginning to reflect any changes to your character or your setting that you made later on in the story. You want your beginning to feel like a natural start to the rest of the story. You should also read over the beginning section to ensure it is not confusing in anyway and that it is easy to follow for the reader. There is nothing worse than an opening section that does not make sense to a reader, as they may get so frustrated they stop reading any further. Make sure the character voice in the beginning section matches the character voice in the rest of the story. You want a consistent character voice throughout your story so it feels cohesive.

Play with a size 4 soccer ball. Choose 5 players per team. Set a timer for 20 minutes. Do not touch the ball with your hands or arms. Allow each team 1 time-out per half. Kick the ball into play if it goes out of bounds. Make use of unlimited substitutes. Send in substitution for a sent-off player after 2 minutes.

You don’t need to oil a leather bridle as often as you clean it. New bridles or bridles with very dry leather need to be conditioned and oiled more frequently than others. Unbuckle every latch and lay all of the parts out in front of you. Inspect the leather and all of the stitching to make sure that it is all in good condition.  For an English bridle, the parts you should have are a noseband, 2 cheek pieces, a throat latch, a headstall, a browband, and reins. For a Western bridle, you should have 2 cheek pieces, a headstall, reins, and potentially a throat latch depending on the bridle. The noseband goes across the nose, the cheek pieces go down the cheeks, the throat latch goes around the throat, the browband goes just below the ears, the reins connect to the bit, and the headstall goes above the ears and holds the whole bridle together. All of the parts are connected to the headstall. Place the leather soap onto a sponge and work up a lather on every part of the bridle. Ensure that you clean all of the crevices in the bridle with the leather soap. Then use a clean cloth to remove the lather.  If you are using tinned leather soap, place the soap onto a sponge and then dip the sponge into warm water. Squeeze out the sponge so that it is only slightly damp and then create a lather with the soap. If you are using liquid leather soap, you will not need to add water. Never use products that are not specially designed for leather as a substitute for leather soap. Bleach, vinegar, vegetable oil, and motor oil are all ineffective and may damage the bridle. Use a sponge to apply the saddle soap to the bridle and to work up a lather. If it is difficult to get the saddle soap into the stitching and crevices on the bridle, apply it with a toothbrush rather than a sponge. Use a clean and slightly damp sponge to wipe every part of the bridle. Check that there is no residue remaining. Apply the neatsfoot oil to a clean sponge and rub it into all parts of the bridle. Every part of the leather should have a thin coating of...

TL;DR in English: Oil the bridle once per month. Take the bridle apart fully. Use leather soap on all of the bridle parts and then wipe away the lather. Clean all of the bridle parts with saddle soap. Wipe away the excess soap and lather with a sponge. Oil all of the bridle parts with neatsfoot oil. Reassemble the bridle. Let the bridle dry for 1-2 days.

Before you get too direct and ask her out, float a conversation about relationships in general. Start the conversation with normal small talk about her day or how she's doing, but then ask how her relationship is going. Relationships are a normal subject of conversation, so she shouldn't be too suspicious if you keep it light and friendly. Use this talk about relationships to bridge towards asking her out. If you find that she’s in a relationship but it’s either not serious or not very happy, try to be bold and ask her out. This method takes some guts, because you have no idea how she’ll react, or what the outcome will be like, but it’s worth it because she may say yes.  Say: “Hey, I know that you’re in a relationship, but I get the feeling that it’s not serious/not going well. Would you want to go on a date with me? I promise not to make any moves or disrespect your relationship. I just want to get to know you better." This method places emphasis on the quality of her relationship, and hints to her that you may be better for her. For another angle, try saying: “I know this is really forward, and I know that you’re seeing someone already. But would you like to go on a date with me? I think you’re great.” This choice leaves out everything about the quality or seriousness of her relationship, and simply lets her know that you’re interested in her regardless of her relationship status. Make sure not to be too disparaging towards her partner. Not only will this be questioning her taste in people, but if she has feelings for them, you could seriously offend her. Tell her that you know that she has a partner, and that you don't want to get in the way if it's serious, but that you'd like to get to know her better. Instead of asking her out, try writing down your number and giving it to her. This makes your intentions pretty clear, but saves you the trouble of trying to find the perfect way to ask her out. You'll only have to pass her the number and tell her to call you sometime. She may get in touch with you when...

TL;DR in English: Talk about relationships. Ask her out. Acknowledge her relationship. Try giving her your number. Let her bring it up.

A regulation soccer ball is a size 5, which is about 27–28 inches (69–71 cm) in circumference. Futsal is played with a size 4 ball, which has a 25–26 inches (64–66 cm) circumference.  The smaller ball is a little heavier and has less bounce, making it a better option for playing indoors. One of the biggest differences between soccer and futsal is that futsal has 5 players per side, while soccer has 11.  Pick one player on each team to act as the goalkeeper. Choose a dedicated attacker for each team. This player, called the pivot, will lead the  charge during offensive play.  Select a dedicated defender, known as the last man, who stays back in case the other team gets the ball.  The remaining two players should play in the midfield and are known as the wingers. Futsal is made up of 2 halves, each of which is 20 minutes long, as opposed to the 45-minute halves in soccer. Another difference is that in soccer the clock continues to run, while in futsal the clock is stopped if the ball is not in play.  If there is a tie at the end of the game, more time can be added to the clock. The first team to score in overtime wins. For casual games, you can omit the timer and end the match when the first team scores. Just like in soccer, futsal players can not use their hands at all. However, you can use any other part of your body to pass or shoot the ball. No time-outs are allowed in soccer, but in futsal, each time gets 1 for each half. If a team does not use their time-out during the first half, it can not be carried over into the second half. In soccer, you throw the ball back into play, but in futsal, the ball is kicked in.  A ball that touches the ceiling is considered out of bounds. You cannot kick a ball from out of bounds directly into the goal and score. However, once you pass the ball to another player, it is in play as usual. In soccer, you are only allowed 3 substitutions. In futsal, however, you can have as many substitutions as you like, as long as they’re made in the substitution zone.  The substitution...

Mark everything you have to sell with the selling price, but not too high. Get some change a few days before the sale so that you have it on hand for the day of your sale. Make sure your items look presentable. Check all CDs and video games. Set up your tables and sort the clothes, CDs and books and whatever else you have to sell. Increase the number of sales you make to each customer. Keep your pets away from the yard sale.

Discard the outer part with the metal ring, and keep the smooth, inner part. You can use a plastic embroidery hoop or a wooden one. If you use a wooden embroidery hoop, you can paint it any color you wish. You can leave wooden embroidery hoops plain for a rustic effect, or you can paint them with acrylic paint. Painting plastic hoops is not recommended because the paint is more likely to chip off. If you will be using this wind chime outside, spray the hoop with a clear, acrylic sealer once the paint has dried. You can have as many or as few chimes as you want. They can all be the same length, or they can be different lengths. The best type of string to use for this would be nylon beading thread or fishing line. You can use small bells, metal findings, keys, or anything that will make a sound when clinked together. Some people like to use vintage spoons! Be sure to slip the first couple of beads through both the string and the tail end. This will keep everything looking neat, and prevent the tail end of the knot from sticking out. Leave a few inches/centimeters at the end of each string empty. Wrap the string around the hoop a few times tightly, so that the last bead bumps up against the bottom edge. Tie the tail end to the string in a tight, double knot, then feed it back down through the beads. You will be using this to hang your wind chime, so choose something sturdy. Fishing line or twine would work well, but ordinary thread or yarn won't. Wrap the string around the hoop a few times, then tie it to itself. While the beaded strings are hanging down, these strings should be hanging up. Try to space these as evenly as you can. Gather the loose ends of your strings together, and check that the tension is even. Tie them together into a single knot, then slip them over a hook. Use the hook to hang your wind chime.

TL;DR in English: Take apart an embroidery hoop. Paint the embroidery hoop, if desired, and let it dry. Cut some string twice as long as you want your chimes to be. Tie a metal charm to the end of each string. Slip assorted beads onto the string. Tie the strings to the embroidery hoop. Cut 4 equal-length pieces of string. Tie the end of each string to the embroidery hoop. Tie the ends of the strings together, then slip them over a hook.

Young ducks grow quickly, and as a result, they need food that has a lot of protein and is high in calories. For the first 3 weeks of life, feed them a starter diet that is 18-20% protein and consists of small pellets (about 1/8").  Duck food can be bought at your local pet store. Some reputable manufacturers of duck food are Purina, Mazuri, or Gunter. Though chicken feed can be substituted for duck food, chicken feed should not be fed to ducklings.  Once the ducklings reach 20 weeks of age, you can substitute duck food for chicken feed with the same amount of protein. Male and female ducks will both need the same amount of protein. Check the back of your duck food bag for nutritional information. This amount of calcium is needed for laying ducks to make quality eggs. You can begin to feed the female ducks this higher protein diet in the spring time, when they are likely to begin laying eggs. These treats should compromise no more than 15-20% of a duck’s diet. Cut all treats into small pieces. You can also let your duck graze outside, provided the area they are grazing has no pesticides or other toxic materials.  Don’t season or cook these treats. Feed them raw. Bread, chocolate, onion, garlic, popcorn, avocados, and citrus fruits should not be fed to ducks. Ducks should be allowed to graze freely on their food. Remove the food at night so it does not begin to rot or attract ants and rats. Each duck will consume about 6-7 ounces of food per day, but bigger ducks may eat a bit more. Buying duck food in bulk will work for feeding large flocks, but for smaller flocks, buy small amounts of food frequently so they will have fresh food all the time. Moldy food can make ducks very sick. Store leftover duck food where it can keep dry. This water can be provided in a trough, an outdoor pond, or a shallow bucket. Any large, open container the ducks can fit their bill in will suffice. If you decide to use a watering system, such as those designed for chickens or turkeys, just make sure the ducks can reach the water. ...

TL;DR in English: Feed ducklings and adolescent ducks a diet that is 18-20% protein. Feed ducks over the age of 3 weeks a diet that is 14% protein. Feed laying ducks a 16-17% protein diet that has 3-4% calcium. Offer occasional treats like corn, carrots, and greens like cucumber or broccoli. Provide food at all times during the day. Buy small amounts of fresh food more frequently. Provide cool 50-70°F (10-21°C) and clean drinking water.

Be sure to have coins for customer change.  Most people arrive early with $10's and $20's, just make sure you have coins as well as $1's and $5's for the customer's change. Make sure you have somewhere safe to put your money. Get a box with a lock. Each of you should have your own box. If you want to sell an old bikes, try to clean it up a little bit. Nobody wants to buy or even touch items that are dirty and covered with mud. Check every item and make sure that they are clean. If you are selling any CDs or video games, make sure they work. If your CD skips a lot, it is not recommend to sell this item at your yard sale. Same for videos games. Have a radio outside so your customers can check the quality of the CDs. Be sure to have bags, boxes and extra newspapers for packing items. Each friend should have their own things on their own table, so that they know how much money they are making. Make your yard sale look very presentable by having clothes racks for clothes and such so it doesn't look like you're selling a bunch of junk. Instead of just selling your old stuff, sell cups of coffee, lemonade, bottled water, too. You can also make a few new craft items, such as friendship bracelets. Many people are scared of pets or have allergies. Keep your pets inside the house or put them in the backyard. Ask your neighbor or friends to watch your pet while you have the garage sale.

It is important to make sure that you child’s school routine will mesh well with your family’s normal daily routine. Before you set up a daily school routine for your child, think about what your normal daily routine already looks like.  Examine your normal daily routine to figure out how much time you have available to homeschool your children. Then, work within this amount of time. For example, if you find that you have four hours of time free each day, then this is the amount of time that you will have to homeschool your children. It is also a good idea to maintain your regular daily tasks in your schedule to help structure your days, such as getting dressed in the morning, running errands on a specific day, or preparing meals at a certain time. Setting a time boundary is important when you are homeschooling because this will help to prevent you from working too long or starting too late. Try to set a daily start time and identify the days of the week that will be “school” days.  For example, you might decide to start school at 9am every day and end school at 3pm every day. Make sure that you make your kids aware of these start and end times, such as by posting them somewhere visible. It can be hard for kids to focus on one task for too long, so you might want to schedule tasks in 15 minute blocks. If your child ends up needing less time to complete a task, then that is fine. Just try to avoid scheduling tasks that might take more than 15 minutes to complete.  For example, you might schedule a short reading or a worksheet for one 15 minute block. However, scheduling an entire book chapter, or a packet of worksheets would be too much for 15 minutes. Including meal and break times on the schedule is also important to maintain structure in your child’s environment. Make sure that you include snack times, meal times, and other important breaks on the schedule. For example, you might schedule in a snack from 10 to 10:15am and then schedule lunch for 12:30 to 1:30pm. To ensure that your kids can always find out...

If you are having trouble dealing with an embarrassing moment, try creating some distance between yourself and your feelings. This can especially help when you are feeling overwhelmed by your feelings and are having trouble thinking straight because of them  You can create some distance from your feelings by thinking about yourself in the 3rd person (i.e., he shouldn't be embarrassed because everyone does something embarrassing from time to time, so it's actually quite a normal thing) Give yourself some time to forget about the embarrassing thing you did. There are several ways you might distract yourself. You could:  Watch a movie. Read a book Play video games Go out with friends Volunteer for a charity Embarrassment is a thing of the past. It happened before now. The moment is gone. Although this is much easier said than done in the midst of an embarrassing moment, try to focus your attention on the present moment or future when dealing with embarrassment - you may find yourself less bothered by something that has already occurred. If you're really embarrassed, see if you can appropriately get yourself out of there. Say you need to use the bathroom or take an important call. This can give you a time to collect yourself after an embarrassing incident. If you think you are someone who gets easily embarrassed or socially anxious, or if you feel like you get embarrassed more than you would like to, it may be worth talking to a therapist about. She could help you change the way you think or react to embarrassing situations. There may be medications that are offered to you that could help to make you less sensitive to social anxiety, too.  To find a therapist, you can:  Google the terms "therapist + your city name or zip code." Use this link to find a therapist near you: http://locator.apa.org/

Let your carrier know that you’d like to sell your plan, and find out what’s needed to put that into effect. You may be told that this can be done with what’s known as an Assumption of Liability. This is a transaction that legally transfers your existing contract to another person.  The person taking over your plan will most likely be instructed by your carrier to read the carrier’s Terms and Conditions  of Agreement, and agree to abide by them. Your carrier may also have an Assumption of Liability form, which will probably have to be signed both by you and the person taking over the contract. The odds are that you either know someone, or have access to someone, who’s looking to change his or her cellphone plan. Ask around to your friends and family. You could also post a query on your social media sites. Obviously, make sure you’re dealing with someone who’s reliable and financially stable, if you expect the carrier to approve the change. If you’re not having any success finding someone to buy your plan, you might want to look into swapping plans, in which case you literally switch your plan with someone else’s. You’re a bit more limited in this scenario, because you’ll need to find an individual who currently has a plan you’re interested in—and vice versa. If you either don’t know anyone to sell your plan to or swap with, or you’d just as soon not be bothered looking around, there are services that will do it for you.  Conduct a browser search, and you’ll find a number of companies willing to assist you. However, expect to pay a fee for the service.  Obviously, do your homework on the company you’re thinking of using. Ask around to see if anyone you know has ever used the company before. You can also do a BBB search to see if the company is listed there, and what its rating is.

These tests are more sensitive than a urine test, but they are also meant to reflect current impairment. Blood and saliva tests are most often administered when you are suspected of using on the job or if you were involved in a car accident. Keep in mind that there is very little you can do in the event that you have to go for a blood test right away. The more saliva you can generate before a mouth swab test, the better! Eat a meal or a snack, drink a few cups of water, and swish with mouthwash or more water if you don’t have mouthwash on hand. This will help to get the THC out of your saliva so it won’t show up on a mouth swab test. These types of shampoos may help to reduce the amount of detectable drugs on your hair follicles. If you have some warning before the test, pick up a bottle of anti-dandruff or clarifying shampoo and wash your hair with it 2 to 3 times on the day of your test. Keep in mind that this is not foolproof. Hair follicle tests are meant to show whether you have been using substances over the last few months. If you have, then you might still fail a hair follicle test using this strategy.

TL;DR in English: Avoid using for at least 4 hours leading up to a saliva or blood test. Eat, drink water, and use mouthwash before taking a saliva test. Shampoo with anti-dandruff or clarifying shampoo before a hair test.

Ensure your word choices are specific, concise, and clear. Look for opportunities to swap vague words for stronger, more precise alternatives. Break out your thesaurus and dictionary, and find crisp replacements for wordy phrases. For instance, “His sleeplessness became part of his normal routine and, like an animal active at night, he found that the dark of night heightened his senses,” is wordy. “His insomnia became habitual; like a nocturnal animal, his senses grew sharper with light’s absence” is crisper. Proofread your work, correct any typos, and check your grammar carefully. When recounting events, it’s easy to mix up verb tenses. Underline or highlight your action words, and make sure their tense matches your narrative’s timeline.  For instance, if you’ve written your narrative in the past tense, watch out for places where your narrator may have slipped into the present. Keep in mind characters can think or speak using a different tense than the narrator. For example, it’s grammatically correct to write, “Noelle skipped and spun blithely as she chanted, ‘Tom loves Sophie! He’s gonna marry her! Tom and Sophie sitting in a tree!’” Watch out for choppy or disorganized sentences and awkward transitions between sections of your narrative. Make sure one sentence leads logically to the next, and vary your sentence structures for a more pleasing sound. From a big-picture perspective, ensure your paragraphs recount events logically. For instance, you might lose the reader if you start to detail one setting, digress for 3 paragraphs to discuss events in another location, bring up something completely unrelated, then finally finish describing the original setting. Letting other people read your work can be intimidating, especially if you’re recounting personal experiences. However, it’s crucial to get a fresh perspective on your writing. Ask friends, relatives, and teachers to read your work and offer notes.  If you’re writing about a personal experience, have someone who wasn’t present for the event read your...

TL;DR in English: Refine your language so it’s as clear and concise as possible. Look for spelling and grammatical errors. Make sure your sentences and paragraphs flow. Get feedback from your peers and mentors.

The pastel goth look uses soft pastels combined with dark liner. Apply the pastel shadow across your eyelid and under your eyes. You want to create a pastel base all along your eyelid, up to the crease. Then apply a layer of dark shadow or liner around your eyes. If you want to use more than one color, try putting one color along your lashes, another right above it, and a third along the upper corner of your eye. Put a thin line of one color under your eyes, connecting it to your upper lid at the corner. Glitter shadow can be a little tricky at first. Brush it on gently in layers around your eye, layering it gradually until you have the intensity you want. Be sure to pair glitter eyeshadow with black eyeliner for a truly goth look. If you get glitter on your skin, gently remove it with a small piece of double-sided tape.

Put the PS4 into rest mode before you turn off the power.

A child with RAD will rarely, if ever, seek comfort when under stress. They are also unlikely to respond when comforted. Since they did not form a normal attachment to a caregiver when they were younger, they will not seek comfort or affection in the way that most children would.  For instance, if they fall off of their bicycle, they might show emotion, but they are unlikely to run to a caregiver to soothe them.  They have a tendency to deal with their pain on their own. In some cases, they may show emotional responses that are inappropriate or excessive for a situation. For example, a child that stubs his toe may cry hysterically for longer than would be usual. Children with RAD will often respond with very little emotion or affect to others. Though most children are socialized to laugh and smile based on the people and circumstances around them, children with RAD will typically display a very flat or neutral disposition. For instance, a child with RAD might receive a gift at a birthday party and not crack a smile.  But a child without RAD might smile or yell with excitement. RAD diagnosis is not related to self-harm, impulsive or aggressive behavior or other harmful behaviors. Likewise, lying, stealing, destruction of property, gorging of food or inappropriate sexual behavior are also not considered symptoms of this disorder. There is a lot of misinformation about RAD online, but none of the aforementioned behaviors are considered relevant to the diagnosis.

TL;DR in English: Evaluate if they are unresponsive in times of distress. Assess any lack of emotion in social settings. Be cautious about jumping to conclusions based on a child acting out.

In order to relieve the pressure in your fuel system, you will need to run the vehicle without the fuel pump functioning for a short time.  In order to prevent the fuel pump from turning on with the engine, you will need to locate the fuse box that contains the fuel pump fuse.  Most vehicles have a fuse box both in the interior of the car as well as under the hood.  Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to locate the appropriate fuse box.  If you do not have an owner’s manual, try referring to the auto maker’s website. The fuse for the fuel pump is often in the fuse box locating in the interior of the vehicle. Once you have located the correct fuse box, use the diagram provided on the fuse box cover or in the owner’s manual to identify the fuse that powers the fuel pump.  Use a pair of needle nose pliers or plastic tweezers to remove the fuse.  With the fuse removed, the fuel pump will not function when you start the engine. There is still fuel and pressure in the fuel lines running from the rear to the front of the vehicle. Check the auto maker’s website for a fuse diagram if you do not have one. Although the engine will not be receiving a fresh supply of fuel from the gas tank, there will be enough fuel left in the lines for it to start and run briefly.  Make sure automatic vehicles are in park and vehicles equipped with a standard transmission are in neutral with the parking brake engaged.  Although the vehicle will only run briefly, it will still move if left in gear. Be sure the parking brake is engaged if you are in a standard vehicle.  The parking brake is optional but advised for automatics. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to start the motor just as you would any other time.  The engine should start easily as it expends the fuel remaining in the fuel system past the fuel pump.  If the engine turns over but then sputters out, it may not have had sufficient pressure in the lines to force the fuel into the engine. If the engine dies, the fuel pressure will be sufficiently relieved....

TL;DR in English: Locate your vehicle’s fuse box. Remove the fuse for the fuel pump. Ensure the vehicle is not in gear. Start the engine. Allow the engine to run for a minute before shutting it off. Re-insert the fuel pump fuse.

TL;DR in English:


Rely on scale questions. Write a survey that takes less than 20 minutes. Phrase some questions negatively. Place questions about demographics at the end of the survey.

Place the cloth over the bucket, then tip the bucket over a clean bucket or pot. You may also use a screen wire or a clean white t-shirt to strain the mash. Clamp down the lid and place it on a stovetop burner. You may discard the solids that you strained out with the cheesecloth. Run the copper tubing run from the lid (or vent) of the pressure cooker to a sink filled with cold water. Coil the middle of the copper tubing in the cold water, then run the other end of the tube over the edge of the sink to a clean container on the floor. Let the contents heat to exactly 177 °F (80 °C) and no more. This is the approximate boiling point of grain alcohol. As the pressure cooker heats, the alcohol turns into ethanol steam, travels through the condensing tube to cool. The resulting liquid drips into the container on the floor. That's the moonshine.  The liquid that comes out of the copper tube before the cooker reaches 177 °F (80 °C) contains methanol, which becomes steam at a lower temperature than ethanol. This low-boiling liquid must be discarded. Methanol attacks the optic nerves when consumed. You'll probably have to discard at least two ounces of liquid before the ethanol, which can actually be consumed, begins to emerge. Keep monitoring the temperature and collecting alcohol until the temperature rises above or drops below 177 °F  (80 °C). You should be able to collect about 2 gallons (7.6 L) of liquid. Finished moonshine is between 180 and 190 proof (90 to 95%) - practically pure grain alcohol. To make this product drinkable, responsible brewers cut it to half strength by mixing with pure spring water.

TL;DR in English: Strain the sour mash through a cheesecloth. Pour the strained mash liquid into the pressure cooker. Position the copper tubing to create a condenser. Turn on the burner under the pressure cooker. Transfer the alcohol to jars.

Hold onto the discus with one hand. Place your palm down on the top of the discus so that it is facing the ground. Then spread out your fingers along the outer edge of the discus so they are evenly spaced.   This may go without saying, but if you are right handed, use your right hand. Left-handed throwers will use their left hand. Don’t grip the discus too tightly. Your fingers should not wrap all the way around the edge of the discus. This will make it easier to throw. Use your free hand to support the bottom of the discus until you are ready to throw. However, throwing with both hands is considered a foul. Maintain the position of the discus in your right hand so it is face down, with your other hand supporting the bottom. Remember to remove your bottom hand before you start your throw. Swinging the arm that is holding the discus and then spinning your body around will help you to gain momentum for the throw. The more momentum you can build, the better. Most discus throwers spin around one and a half times before releasing the discus. Some throwers, though, prefer to keep their feet stationary. It may feel natural to lead with your left arm, but resist this urge. Lead with your right leg. As you do, drive with your left leg. Keep the discus at shoulder level, your body leaning forward, and your eyes up mid-spin.  You should pick up your right foot to step before your shoulder passes over it. Try to keep your right shoulder behind your right hip. To keep your left arm in position during this part of the throw, hold it above your left leg as though you’re reading the time. As your left foot sweeps through the last part of the turn (between 6:00 and 5:00), your arm should stall the discus at about 4:30. At this point, the discus should be at least head height. On the final arc of your spin, ground your left foot in the direction you are throwing. Your right foot will continue to pivot, adding momentum. When the disc is directly opposite the release point, lower your left heel. At the start of the final...

TL;DR in English: Grip the discus with one hand. Extend your right arm. Swing your arm and spin your body. Watch your body position in the spin, if applicable. Carry momentum through to the release. Release the disc. Find your markings. Exit the ring after you finish throwing.

Scale questions present an opinion, fact, or situation and then ask respondents to rate how true or likely it is. Employees are more likely to respond to these types of questions, since they only have to fill in a bubble, than open-ended questions where they have to write out an answer. For example, you can ask questions like "My supervisor resolves customer conflict quickly" and then offer scale answers. Give them 5 bubbles in a horizontal line, and place "Strongly disagree" above the bubble all the way to the left and "Strongly agree" above the bubble all the way to the right. If your survey is too long, your employees are likely to give up halfway through and never turn it in. The survey should only take about 20 minutes, which would mean 50 to 75 scale questions. If you ask too many questions that seem to suggest you're looking for a positive answer, employees might stop the survey. Phrasing about a third of your survey questions negatively can prevent this. For example, instead of wording a question that says "We do a good job of resolving conflicts in my department," word it so it says "We do a poor job of resolving conflicts in my department." One of the most important factors in getting employees to answer surveys is anonymity. If you ask demographic questions up front, employees may feel it will reveal who they are, and they'll be less likely to answer the rest of the survey. If you do have to ask demographic questions, limit how many you include. Three is the absolute most you should use.

Choose your piercing. Pick a registered agent. File your articles of organization. Draft your operating agreement. Publish a notice. Obtain your Employer Identification Number (EIN). Register with your state tax office.

Make an appointment with the piercing artist. Arrive on time and prepared to get pierced. Care for the piercing properly.

If your skin begs for lotion after a shower, you definitely need to get a makeup primer for dry skin. A good, nourishing primer can take the place of your lotion, so you can hydrate your skin and prep it for makeup in one step. Look for primers with words like “hydrating,” “soothing,” or “replenishing.” If you struggle with excess oil and shine, you want to combat this with your primer. To do so, your best bet is a great mattifying primer that will reduce your skin’s oil production. Products that minimize pores typically help to minimize shine as well. Look for oil-free formulas – your skin doesn’t need any help with that! If you've found that your skin is sensitive to the products you use, it's a good idea to choose primers with a short ingredient list. Many beauty supply stores will have primers for sensitive skin that are oil-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and so on. The less additives in your facial products, the lower chance you have to experience a negative reaction. As you age, you may struggle with fine lines and blotchy skin. For this type of skin, look for makeup primers infused with antioxidants. A hydrating primer will help to give you some needed moisture while locking your makeup in place.

TL;DR in English: Choose a hydrating makeup primer if you have dry skin. Pick a mattifying primer if you have oily skin. Select a simple primer for sensitive skin. Use a nourishing makeup primer on mature skin.

You can have a member-managed or manager-managed LLC. A member-managed LLC is run by all of its members. By contrast, a manager-managed LLC has passive investors who do not take part in running the business. If you’re a small LLC, chances are you’ll be member-managed. If someone wants to sue your LLC, they need to serve papers on someone. This person will be your registered agent. One of the LLC founders can serve as the registered agent, or you can pay a company to serve as your agent. This paperwork goes by different names, depending on your state. For example, it might be called a “certificate of formation” or “certificate of organization.” Regardless of the name, you must file the paperwork with your Secretary of State.  Your state should have “fill in the blank” articles of organization to use. You can download them online. In some states, you can file your articles of organization online. You’ll need to pay a filing fee, which will vary by state. However, it shouldn’t be more than a couple hundred dollars. This document is the operating manual for your business. Your state probably won’t require that you file your operating agreement, but you should keep it at your principal place of business. A solid operating agreement should contain the following:  A description of your business purpose. An identification of each member and their ownership percentage. The rights and duties of the members. An explanation of the members’ voting power. You can decide to give each member an equal vote or weight the vote according to ownership percentage. An explanation of how profits and losses will be distributed. Your rules for calling and holding meetings. A buy-sell agreement, which explains what happens if a member dies, quits, or is removed from the LLC. In some states, you need to publish your intent to create an LLC in a local newspaper. Typically, the notice must run for several weeks, after which you submit an affidavit of publication as proof. Check with your Secretary of State’s office. Your EIN is your LLC’s...

Once you have settled on a design for your constellation piercing, you should make a formal appointment for the piercing with the piercer. The piercer should tell you how long the piercing will take and allot enough time for the session.  You should be aware of how much the piercing is going to cost beforehand so you are prepared to pay for the piercing at your appointment. Some piercers may require a portion of the payment upfront to confirm the appointment. Be wary of a cheap price for the piercing, as this may indicate the piercer is not of quality. You should get a breakdown of the costs for the piercing, from the piercer's services to the jewellery used for the piercing, so you know what you are paying for. You should arrive for your appointment with the piercer on time, with the area you are getting pierced clean and free of any jewellery. For example, if you were getting constellation piercings on your ear, you should take out any jewellery in your ear and pull your hair back so your ear is exposed.  Depending on your pain threshold, you may take over-the-counter pain medication before the appointment to help with any pain or discomfort. The piercer should walk through each step of the process during the session so you know exactly what is happening. Once the piercing is done, you should look at it in the mirror to make sure it is what you want. The piercer should then outline how to take care of the piercing so it heals safely. Always wash your hands before touching the area. You should clean the piercing three times a day using an aftercare formula. Remember to turn the earrings one full rotation at least three times a day to make sure the holes heal properly.  For the first six months of healing, you should always leave your earrings in or take them out for no longer than 24 hours as time. This will prevent the piercings from closing. Depending on the type of piercing you have, you may have a healing time of six to twelve weeks. Your piercer can give you a more specific healing time based on your piercing.

Wait for the primer to dry completely before continuing.

Make sure your information is available online. Make a website with contact information, pricing, schedule of when you’re available, and subjects you’re able to tutor. You can also advertise on Craigslist and other websites. Reach out to local middle schools, high schools, community colleges, and universities to ask how you can advertise on their campus. One great way to get your name out, and get new jobs is to join a tutoring service online. Sites like tutor.com and coursehero.com are great options. The benefit of these services is that you’ll receive training, have easy access to a number of students, and you don’t have to worry about payments since these online communities typically pay you directly. These organizations typically charge a fee, so you may be able to make more money working independently. However, you’ll have to do more work to establish a client base, get paid, and keep up with all the other related business information. Track all of your tutoring hours, what you teach, and what you earn. If you have a problem at any level with a student, your taxes, or any other work-related concerns, keep a record of this as well. While issues are infrequent, it’s important to have records if a student ever complains about your services. If you’re in a very competitive market or you want to set yourself above the competition to earn a higher salary, there are tutoring certification programs online via the American Tutoring Association, the National Tutoring Association, and the College Reading and Learning Association among others. While a certificate is not a requirement to be a tutor, it does look good on your resume or portfolio.

TL;DR in English: Seek new clients. Join an online tutor community. Keep records. Get certified.

Take two pieces of 9 by 12 inch (23 by 30 centimeters) plywood. You can purchase these at most hardware stores. Use a power drill to drill a hole in each corner. The precise size of each hole doesn't matter as long as you can fit wing nuts into the hole later. Purchase blotting paper at a craft store. Lay your fern leaves flat against one sheet of paper. Then, top this sheet of paper with a second sheet. Place the blotting paper that contains your ferns on one piece of plywood. Place the other piece of plywood on top of the first, sandwiching the ferns between your press. You can buy wing nuts at any hardware store. Screw your wing nuts into each hole. Twist the ends of the wing nuts to close your flower press tightly. Place your press somewhere where it will not be disturbed. Leave it for about three to four weeks so the ferns can dry out. When your ferns are done, they should be crisp, delicate, and dry to the touch.

TL;DR in English: Drill holes in plywood. Place your ferns between two pieces of paper. Sandwich the ferns between the plywood. Close your flower press with wing nuts. Remove the ferns after about a month.

Your financial institution likely has a rewards program through which you can start accumulating points towards free travel just by entering your email address and a few other details. These points can often be applied towards vacation packages, or else used to obtain discounts on travel by air, land, or sea. They can also be exchanged for frequent flyer miles on participating airlines. Bus companies like Greyhound and passenger train companies like Amtrak also have rewards programs through which you can accumulate points. Sign up for their rewards programs and make sure to log in to your account first before booking trips by bus or train so that each paid trip counts towards your point total. You may be sitting on a gold mine of potential free travel opportunities. Check out the relevant pages of your credit card company and learn what it takes to earn free travel opportunities.  Many cards have cash back opportunities where you receive a certain percentage of what you’ve spent on the card at the end of each month or year. If you can pay off the balance in full each month, consider increasing what you put on your card each month. The cash you get back may be enough for you to offer your next trip!  Many credit cards also provide points towards free travel when you eat at certain restaurants. If you can afford it, you may want to consider eating out at a couple of these places to increase your point total. Avoid those established by the credit card companies themselves. Instead, look for those set up by individuals who have successfully leveraged their credit cards for free travel. If there is considerable affiliate marketing on the page, that may be a sign to take the advice offered with a grain of salt. Many transportation companies sell gift cards that you can use to increase the points you need to earn free trips. A few gift cards for your birthday or Christmas could be just what you need to get to your next vacation spot! Your credit card company may offer sweepstakes whose entry fee is a certain number...

TL;DR in English: Enroll in credit card rewards programs. Review the terms of rewards programs for any credit cards you already have. Look online for websites that compare credit card rewards programs. Ask friends and family for travel gift cards to help you accumulate points. Enter sweepstakes with destination vacations as prizes.

If you rush the selling process, you can be sure you won’t fetch the best possible price. Researching dealers and getting multiple offers takes time. If you’re going with another option, you’ll also need plenty of time to research auction houses or track down collectors. Start your valuation process by checking online price guides. If you think you have a coin that could be worth $100 (USD) or more, have it professionally appraised, graded, and certified. If its rarity and condition have been certified by a third party organization, you’ll have an easier time selling it.  A reputable dealer who’s a member of a collector’s guild will probably offer a free appraisal if you’re negotiating a sale. While you should genuinely be open to making a deal, you won't be obligated to sell your coins after the dealer offers an appraisal. When buying rare coins, knowledgeable coin collectors look for the CAC (Certified Acceptance Corporation) seal: http://www.caccoin.com. Getting certified by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PGCS) is another industry standard: https://www.pcgs.com. You’ll have to send your coin to the organization and pay for the appraisal and grading. This takes time and money, but it’s worth it if you have an extremely rare coin that’s worth a small fortune. You might be tempted to get your coins nice and shiny before trying to sell them. However, oxidized coins (coins with a brownish tinge) are usually more valuable than bright, shiny coins, especially if they’re old or rare. For example, you’d never want to clean ancient Roman coins. Removing the patina that shows an ancient coin’s age dramatically affects its value. Remember that you might have a tax liability after selling your coins. Depending on your location, you might be liable for 20 to 30 percent of the difference between the selling price and how much you originally paid for the item. If you sold a coin that you paid a lot of money for, it’s vital to have a record of your original purchase. Otherwise, your taxes might be based on the...
