Focus on your stroke in your last practices, not pushing yourself. Relax the day before the meet, resting and getting your sleep. Pack your essentials the night before, double checking everything in the morning. Eat a simple but complete meal 2-3 hours before racing. Double-check the time you need to arrive as well

Pay attention to the compliments. Ignore the insults. Don’t worry about making mistakes. Surround yourself with good people. Build your self-esteem.

Minor wrist sprains are often caused by repetitive tasks or hyperextending the joint by falling on an outstretched hand. Take a break from repetitive tasks if that's what you think led to your wrist injury. Talk to your boss about switching to a different activity for a week or so. If the sprain is exercise related, then you may be working out too aggressively or with bad form — consult with a personal trainer.  A mild wrist strain is often categorized as a Grade I sprain, which implies that ligaments are stretched a little too far, but not significantly.  Tolerable pain, mild inflammation or swelling, and some loss of movement and/or strength in the wrist are common symptoms of Grade I wrist sprains. The application of ice is an effective treatment for essentially all minor musculoskeletal injuries, including wrist sprains. Apply the ice to the most tender part of your wrist in order to reduce the swelling and pain. Ice should be applied for 10-15 minutes every 2-3 hours for a couple of days, then reduce the frequency as the pain and swelling subside.  Compressing the ice against your wrist with an elastic wrap will also help control the inflammation, but don't tie it too tight because complete restriction of blood flow could cause more damage to your hand and wrist. Always wrap ice or frozen gel packs in a thin towel in order to prevent frostbite on your skin. Wrapping your wrist in an Ace or tensor bandage, surgical tape, or a simple neoprene wrist support will offer a small degree of joint support and allow you to compress ice to your wrist easier, but the biggest benefit is likely psychological — essentially it's a visual reminder to take it easy with your wrist for a short period of time.  Wrap your wrist from your knuckles all the way up to the middle of your forearm, overlapping the elastic wrap as you go.  The wrist wrap, tape or neoprene wrist support should be snug, but not cutting off your circulation — make sure your hand doesn't turn blue, get cold or start to tingle. After the pain and...

TL;DR in English: Rest your wrist and be patient. Ice your sprained wrist. Use a basic wrist support. Do some light wrist stretches.

Focus on yourself. Many people will look at how other people in different lanes are doing, which will drag your speed down by a few seconds. More likely than not, you've already been tapering down your workouts, having easier practices to save energy for the meet. But these workouts are useless if you don't take them seriously. The week before a meet is about getting your stroke absolutely perfect, not just relaxing.  Even though you're doing shorter workouts, you should still give each one of them your best effort. Now is not the time to radically reform your stroke, but it is the time to "sharpen your blades," working on a consistent, efficient swimming motion. The day before the meet is not the day to go on a 5-mile hike in the sun with your buddies. It is a day to sit back, eat healthy food, and let your body relax. Make sure you get to bed at a decent hour and don't push yourself more than necessary.  Some light stretching is a good way to stay loose and limber for the race the next day. Some swimmers like a very light run or swim to stay loose. If you want a short workout, take it slow, stretching both before and afterward. There is no worse feeling than showing up at the meet without your suit, so give yourself 24 hours to catch anything you missed while packing. Another strategy is to always keep a spare set of goggles, trunks, and a water bottle in your bag at all times, ensuring you're prepared in a moment's notice. If you love music to get pumped up, charge your phone/music player the night before and make sure you have headphones. Now is not the time to mix up your routine -- if you have a favorite pre-race meal or something you always have before practices, then stick to the routine that works for you. Avoid greasy, fatty, or overly salty/sweet foods and stick to simple, natural ingredients. If you're looking for new meal options, you can mix and match the following categories of foods, aiming to eat well but not completely fill up:   Lean Proteins: Tuna, hard-boiled eggs, grilled chicken,...

TL;DR in English: Focus on perfecting your stroke in your last practices, not pushing yourself. Relax the day before the meet, resting and getting your sleep. Pack your essentials the night before, double checking everything in the morning. Eat a simple but complete meal 2-3 hours before racing. Double-check the time you need to arrive as well as your plans to get there. Set personal goals for the meet. Warm up as if you're already in the race.

Listen to a person when they give you a compliment. Accept the compliment and allow it to make you feel good about yourself. Thank the person for their compliment and make sure you don’t respond with a negative statement that puts yourself down and challenges the compliment. Remember the compliment for the times when you don’t feel so confident. Ignoring an insult doesn’t mean refusing to listen to another person. Think about what the person said and consider whether it’s constructive or not. Consider whether the person deserves to be listened to and how true their insult might be. Ignore any insults that are meant to demean you and make you feel less confident. Nothing will help sink your confidence faster than a nasty and spiteful insult. Take a small risk. Try doing something less than perfect and see what happens. The odds are good that the world won’t end if you’re not perfect. Worrying about being perfect will definitely make you less confident. Seek out people who make you feel good about yourself. Spend time with them and make them your friends. Get rid of people who are negative influences and who add stress to your life. Find positive and confident role models. You’ll find that these people’s behavior will soon rub off on you and make you more confident. Work on your self-esteem by identifying negative thoughts and challenging them. Replace them with constructive thoughts that make you feel confident and good. Although it’s important to consider your physical appearance and style when building confidence, true confidence comes from within.

Tease your hair for additional volume. Add texture to your straight hair. Wear your hair down and natural. Wear your hair up.

Wipe the damaged part of the floor with a clean, damp cloth. Let the floor dry completely before you proceed. This method works for minor chips and scratches that can be repaired with putty or a marker specifically made to repair laminate flooring. For example, if you drop a knife and it leaves a small cut in the floor, you can easily repair the damage with a laminate floor repair kit. Get laminate floor repair putty for larger chip repairs or a floor repair marker for smaller scratches. Take an extra piece of flooring with you to the home improvement store, if you have one, to find the closest color. You can mix multiple colors of putty together to get a matching color if you can't find one close enough. Take off the cap of the marker and carefully color in the scratches. Let the marker dry for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Add more coats of the marker after it dries if the scratch is still visible. Scoop out a bit of putty on a putty knife and spread it into the chipped area. Use the putty knife to smooth it out so it's level with the rest of the board, then let it dry for 1 hour. If the chip is particularly deep, then apply several thin coats of the putty until it is even with the floor. Carefully wipe around the repaired area to remove any marker or filler that got on the undamaged flooring. If you used putty, be sure to do this before it dries. Use a cleaning solvent designed for laminate flooring if you need something stronger.

TL;DR in English: Clean the damaged area to remove any dirt from the chip or scratch. Buy a laminate floor repair kit that closely matches the color of your floor. Disguise small scratches with a floor repair marker. Fill in large chips using putty. Wipe around the area with a clean, dry cloth to remove extra marker or putty.

Teasing your pin-straight locks will transform your flat hair into bouncy locks.  Part your hair in the center or to the side. Use a comb to create two layers of hair on top of your head: a top layer and an underneath later. Secure the top layer with a duck clip. With a tailed comb, begin teasing the underneath layer 2 inches from your roots. After each downward stroke, fully remove the comb from your hair. Gradually increase your distance from the roots until you have created the amount of volume you desire. Unclip the top section and gently brush it over the teased underneath layer. Spray your teased tresses with hairspray to secure the look. Achieving the perfectly textured do is extra challenging when you have straight hair. Attempt to add texture to your pin-straight locks through one or more methods:  For a beachy look, curl the middle section of your hair only. To produce a wavy look, first plait your hair into one or more even braids. Slowly run your straightener down the length of each braid. Remove the elastic band, undo your plait, and observe your subtle waves. To achieve waves without the heat, braid your hair while damp and apply a sea salt spray. For a perfectly tousled look, spray your hair with dry shampoo and scrunch your locks. One of the benefits of straight hair is that it requires very little maintenance and effort to style. Leave your tools and products in the drawer or under the sink. Simply run a brush through your hair and wear it down for the day. Up-dos are appropriate for every occasion. Put your hair in a simple ponytail or a classic chignon. Tease your hair and pull it back into a half-ponytail. Experiment with different braids—try a fishtail braid, a crown braid, or a series of small side braids.

When you are alone, think about the things you’re your friend does and identify the reasons why they bother you.  Identifying these issues in the relationship will help you to work out strategies for how to cope and, hopefully, improve the relationship.  Does she often cancel plans with you at the last minute? Does she yell at you? Does she flirt with that guy that you like, even after you told her that you like him? If you have trouble identifying exactly what your friend does that bothers you so much, you may want to discuss your friend with another friend or someone else that you trust. After you have identified the things that your friend does that bother you, think about how those things make you feel. It is important to acknowledge the pain and other emotions that your friend has caused you and deal with those emotions in a healthy manner. If you refuse to acknowledge your emotions and deal with them, they may erupt in an unexpected or inappropriate manner. Confronting your friend will be difficult for you and even more difficult for him or her. Before you decide to confront the person, think about whether or not the issue is a big enough deal to require a confrontation. If you confront the person and the issue is rather minor, you may end up looking like you are nit-picking and that can cause more problems in the relationship. Not all problems are worth confronting your friend about, but you should still prepare yourself to handle common situations that you think may not be worth a confrontation. Having strategies in place can also help you to feel more in control when your mean friend says or does things that upset you.   If your friend often cancels plans with you at the last minute, make backup plans to lessen the damage of her canceling on you.   If certain topics cause your friend to make rude or insulting comments, avoid discussing those topics with him or her.

TL;DR in English: Take stock of the things that your friend does that bother you. Deal with your emotions. Determine whether or not the problem warrants a confrontation. Develop strategies for situations that do not require confrontation.

In order to solve any physics problem you must know which equation to use. Writing down all of the known information is the first step to finding the right equation. If you know values for the distance, time, and acceleration, you can use the following equation:  Initial velocity: Vi = (d / t) - [(a * t) / 2]  Understand what each symbol stands for.   Vi stands for “initial velocity”  d stands for “distance”  a stands for “acceleration”  t stands for “time” Once you have written the known information and determined the proper equation, you can fill in values for the appropriate variables. Carefully setting up each problem and writing out every step of the process is important. If you make a mistake, you can easily find it by looking back at all of your previous steps. With all of the numbers in place, use the proper order of operations to finish the problem. If you’re allowed, use a calculator to limit the number of simple math mistakes.  For example: An object accelerating west at 7 meters (23.0 ft) per second squared traveled a distance of 150 meters (492.1 ft) within 30 seconds. Calculate the initial velocity of that object.  Write the known information:  Vi = ?, d = 150 m, a = 7 m/s2, t = 30 s   Multiply the acceleration and time. a * t = 7 * 30 = 210 Divide the product by two.  (a * t) / 2 = 210 / 2 = 105 Divide the distance by the time. d / t = 150 / 30 = 5 Subtract your first quotient from the second quotient. Vi =  (d / t) - [(a * t) / 2] = 5 – 105 = -100 Vi = -100 m/s west Write your answer correctly. Include a unit of measurement, usually meters per second or m/s, as well as a direction the object was traveling in. Without providing information about the direction, you only have a measurement of speed rather than velocity.

TL;DR in English: Know the right equation to use. Fill in the known information. Solve the equation.

. The first step to perfect skin is to figure out a skincare routine that works for you. Everybody's skin is unique, so what works for another person may not work for you. Take a long, hard look at your skin and decide whether it's normal, sensitive, dry, oily, or a combination.  If you have normal skin, you're lucky! Your skin doesn't get oily, your pores are small, your skin tone looks even and you rarely suffer from breakouts.  Sensitive skin tend to be very reactive - it may become dry, itchy or irritated depending on the weather, your lifestyle, and the products you use.  Dry skin usually feels tight after cleansing and can suffer from roughness or flakiness, especially when exposed to cold weather or dry air. Dry skin is prone to wrinkling, and tends to have no visible pores.  Oily skin can become greasy and shiny-looking within an hour after washing. The oil may even seep through your makeup and cause it to slide off. Oily skin is prone to blemishes and breakouts, and has visible pores.  Combination skin means that your skin can be dry and oily. It might be flaky and rough around the edges, but oily along the t-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Combination skin tends to have visible pores only in the t-zone area. In addition, whether you have a light skin tone, medium skin tone or dark skin tone will also dictate what issues your skin is prone to, and should be taken into consideration when choosing skincare products. twice a day. Washing your face is super important as it cleans away dirt, oil, bacteria and traces of make-up that would otherwise be left sitting on your skin.  Stick to washing your face twice a day - once in the morning to cleanse any oil that has built up overnight, and once in the evening to remove any dirt and make-up from the day. If you don’t use makeup, you may not need to wash your face twice a day. Pin your hair back before you begin washing, to ensure that you have access to all the edges of your face. To cleanse your face, splash your face with warm water. Hot water can be too...

Hair dye that is designed for humans can have chemicals that are toxic for dogs and can harm their skin. Dogs have a different pH skin balance than humans, so avoiding human hair dye is essential to ensuring your dog’s comfort and safety. Instead, seek out alternative dyes that can be found naturally. The less synthetic the dyes, the better they will be for your dog. Do not dye your dog’s fur if they have any healing wounds or present skin irritations. Dyeing your dog’s fur will more than likely cause further irritation, and can even cause more serious infections. Be sure to check your dog’s body for nicks or healing wounds while you groom them before you begin applying the dye. Using permanent dye on your dog’s fur can cause harm as they almost always contain chemicals that can be harmful to your dog’s health. Permanent dyes can not only cause damage to your dog’s fur and skin, but pose serious health risks as your dog will be grooming themselves. There are many alternatives to dyeing your dog’s fur, from impermanent dyes to semi-permanent dyes. Edible foods, that are safe for your dog to eat, will produce light hair dyes. These dyes can be made in a variety of ways, from juicing fresh vegetables to boiling and dehydrating. However, the sugar in many fruits can also cause your dog’s fur to become sticky, and can also cause mild skin irritations. Try to stick to vegetables or fruits with low sugar contents.  Try using vegetables like carrots, beets, and spinach, or spices like turmeric.  Although fruit dyes should try and be avoided, they do often produce the most vibrant color. Try to thin or dilute any dyes made from juice to avoid skin irritation. Most dyes made from edible foods are impermanent and will begin to fade within a week. Natural food coloring can be purchased at almost any supermarket and is generally free of harmful chemicals. Some food dyes are made with artificial dyes that have been linked to negative health effects if congested on a daily basis for many years. However, these dyes should...

"Short" and "review" are key words here. The executive summary is not going to be comprehensive in any way, nor will it be a substitute for the original document. An executive summary should never be longer than 10% of the original document. Shoot to have it somewhere between 5% and 10%. Most authoritative sources who write executive summaries agree that certain stylistic and structural guidelines should apply. These include:  Paragraphs should be short and concise.  Executive summaries should make sense even if you haven't read the original report. Executive summaries should be written in language that is appropriate for the target audience. An executive summary needs to clearly define a problem, whether it's supply-chain management or marketing campaigns overseas. Executive summaries, especially, need clear definitions of problems because the documents that they are based on, Requests For Proposals (RFP), are often written by technical people with a poor grasp of conceptual issues. Make sure the problem is defined in clear, understandable terms. A problem is always in need of a solution. In order to deliver a claim statement of purpose (and a reason to fund the venture), you need to present your solution so that it effectively tackles the problem. If your problem isn't clearly written, your solution is less likely to make sense. An executive summary is not an essay; it doesn't need to be long blocks of text. If they enhance understanding or make the summary more skimmable, it's okay to use:  Graphics. A well-placed graphic illustrating the precise nature of the client's problem could drive home the point of the summary. Stimulating the visual sense is often just as effective as their analytical sense. Bullets. Long lists of information can be broken down into more digestible bullets. Headings. Organize the themes of the summary, if necessary, by heading. This will help orient the reader as they dive into the summary. Jargon is the enemy of understanding.

It's not always easy to see how many times a two-digit number goes into a larger one. One useful trick is to round to the nearest multiple of 10 to make guessing easier. This comes in handy for smaller division problems, or for parts of a long division problem. For example, let's say we're solving 143 ÷ 27, but we don't have a good guess at how many times 27 goes into 143. Let's pretend we're solving 143 ÷ 30 instead. In our example, we can count by 30s instead of counting by 27s. Counting by 30 is pretty easy once you get the hang of it: 30, 60, 90, 120, 150.  If you find this difficult, just count by threes and add a 0 to the end. Count until you get higher than the larger number in the problem (143), then stop. We didn't hit 143 exactly, but we got two numbers close to it: 120 and 150. Let's see how many fingers we counted on to get them:  30 (one finger), 60 (two fingers), 90 (three fingers), 120 (four fingers). So 30 x four = 120. 150 (five fingers), so 30 x five = 150. 4 and 5 are the two most likely answers to our problem. Now that we have two good guesses, let's try them out on the original problem, which was 143 ÷ 27:  27 x 4 = 108 27 x 5 = 135 Since both our numbers ended up below 143, let's try getting even closer by trying one more multiplication problem:  27 x 6 = 162. This is higher than 143, so it can't be the right answer. 27 x 5 came closest without going over, so 143 ÷ 27 = 5 (plus a remainder of 8, since 143 - 135 = 8.)

Vinegar is a good deodorizer for insoles, especially if they have a strong smell. It also kills bacteria and germs. Mix one part white distilled vinegar and one part warm water together in a large bowl or in the sink. Place the insoles in the vinegar and water mixture. Let the insoles soak in the mixture for at least three hours. You can add essential oils like tea tree or pine oil to the mixture if the insoles really smell. Add a few drops of the essential oils to the mixture and let the insoles soak in the mixture. Once the insoles have soaked in the mixture, remove them and rinse them out under running water. Make sure you remove all of the vinegar-water mixture on the insoles. Place the insoles on a towel to dry overnight. You can also dry them by stacking them in a dish rack or by hanging them from a clothesline.

TL;DR in English: Mix equal parts vinegar and water. Soak the insoles in the mixture. Rinse off the insoles. Let the insoles dry overnight.

Pre-emergent herbicides act by forming a chemical layer at the surface of the soil. As crabgrass seeds germinate, they take in the herbicide, which prevents them from sprouting and ultimately kills them. This should coincide with the blooming of the forsythia. Buy an inexpensive soil thermometer if you don't know when to time your herbicide application. Always apply the herbicide along with a starter fertilizer. Fertilizer helps thicken the turf, which in turn snuffs out crabgrass seeds that weren't killed by the fertilizer. Apply a starter fertilizer along with your herbicide and you're getting more bang for your buck. As small as the print is, you will find valuable information on time of application and safety precautions. Look for herbicides that use the following active ingredients: dithiopyr, prodiamine or pendimethalin. The herbicide that you use to snuff out unwanted crabgrass is the same stuff that will lay waste to the soft, pretty grass you actually want to cultivate. That means you have to seed during one season and use herbicide during another: Seed during the early fall and use herbicide during the spring, making sure to keep a buffer of at least 50 days in between. These will kill your grass as well so only use if you have more crabgrass than lawn or thick patches of it.

TL;DR in English: Prevent crabgrass from growing in the first place with pre-emergent herbicides. Apply pre-emergent herbicides in the late winter/early spring when soil temperatures stabilize at 55°F at a depth of 4". When using herbicides, be sure to read the label carefully. Reseed or use the herbicide, but never both. Apply post-emergent herbicides in the summer, if you see crabgrass.

The acknowledgment page is a common feature at the end of a formal thesis or dissertation, and it can be difficult to know how to include a bit of personal writing at the end of a technical project. It would be strange to follow up your epoch-shattering cancer research study with "Shout out to D-Nuts for the sick waffles he brought me in the lab that one time." Make your acknowledgment page professional, brief and more informal than the rest of your text, but also specific to the people who helped you along the way.  The acknowledgment page can either be a list or a more fluid paragraph. It would be fine to write, "I would like to thank Professor Henderson, Dr. Matthews, etc." until you've worked your way through the list. It would also be perfectly acceptable to address each person individually and more personally: "I would like to thank Professor Henderson for her expert advice and encouragement throughout this difficult project, as well as Dr. Matthews for his brilliance in the lab."  Some people feel uncomfortable emphasizing certain people's help over other people's help, in which case the list form in alphabetical order is a perfectly acceptable method of writing an Acknowledgment. In general, the most important person to thank in the acknowledgment is your thesis advisor or major professor overseeing your project, followed by any members of the thesis committee and other supervising academics directly involved with your project.  In general, it's helpful to think in groups, even going to far as to format all the thank-yous of a particular group in a single sentence: "I would like to thank Dr. Stevens, Dr. Smith, and Professors Clemons for their extraordinary support in this thesis process." If you worked with a small committee, it's customary and thoughtful to thank each person for the specific things they contributed to your work. This might include lab assistants, or anyone who helped you with coursework or contributed to the project itself in any way. Other classmates who you feel like contributed...

When you get a new product, such as a chemical peel or even just a facial cleanser, it's important to patch test it first, especially if you have sensitive skin. Patch testing just means you use a small amount on part of your skin to see how you react.  In other words, you don't want to rub something all over your face or body and break out in hives everywhere. It's best to limit the area at first.  You should also skin test other products, such as shampoos, conditioner, and hair dyes. Basically, if you have sensitive skin, you should skin test any product that comes in contact with your skin. Your inner arm is a good place to test because generally that skin is fairly sensitive. In addition, it won't be too noticeable if you do have a reaction.  If the product burns or causes an immediate reaction, wash it off as quickly as possible. If it's a product such as lotion, leave it on your skin. If it's a product like a chemical peel that's meant to be rinsed off, rinse it off at the appropriate time. Wait a full day to see if you have a reaction to the product. A reaction could be your skin turning red, welting up, or showing a rash. You could also have scaliness or oozing skin. Another symptom is itchiness. Next, move to skin testing a more sensitive area. This time, pick a place where the product will be used. For instance, if you are using a facial cleanser, try it just under your ear in a small spot. The reason you need to test it again is because it may affect a more sensitive area of skin even if it doesn't affect your arm. Once again, wait for a full day to see if your skin reacts to the product. If it doesn't, you should be fine to use it.

TL;DR in English: Understand product skin testing. Put a small amount on your inner arm. Wait for 24 hours. Test a more sensitive area. Wait another day.

The attic is used for long term storage and is a place that few people go on a regular basis. Hide the item somewhere easy for you to access, but out of plain view in case someone needs to move something to or from the attic. Valuable items are found in attics all the time, and there’s a reason for that – people rarely have reason to enter the attic!   Put the item in a garbage bag and cover it with old clothes you no longer want to better camouflage the item. Labeling the bag can help add to the disguise. For example, writing "Christmas decorations" on the bag will prevent the bag from being examined until the appropriate time of the year. Hide something at a friend’s house if they have more space to spare, or there is no danger of getting them in trouble for doing so. For example, if your parents frown on junk food or soda, a friend’s place makes the perfect stash spot.  Make sure your stuff gets hidden properly or marked appropriately as yours. You don’t want someone to take your stuff. Your parents might not approve of this idea, especially if the safe is in plain sight.  You can store the safe in the attic or somewhere else hidden to keep your parents from being suspicious.   A mini fridge for your room might can serve the same purpose as a safe and will look much less out of place if you keep it in plain sight.

In the middle of the table, place however many spoons is one less than the number of players you have. For example, if you're playing with 6 people, use 5 spoons. Have the dealer keep the deck next to them. The person to the right of the dealer, however, should put one of their cards down on the table to start the discard pile, while the dealer picks up a new card. You do not have to exchange cards with the card you are given, if you do not want to. Instead, just pass the card you received on to the player to your left. Each round the dealer should pick up a new card and the person to their right should add to the discard pile, so as to have a continuous influx of new cards. All players continue to circulate cards. It usually goes pretty quickly, and can be tough to keep track of! This is intentional, and makes the game more fun. all 4 aces or all 4 nines) has to pick up a spoon. Following this, all other players need to do the same, with the slowest person left without a spoon and out of the game. It can be easy to get caught up in trying to get your own four of a kind — try to pay attention to other people's movements as well as your hand. So if the first round had 6 players and 5 spoons, the second round would consist of 5 players and 4 spoons. Continue playing until you're left with a single person, who is the winner.

With the common cold, as with most every other illness, proper hydration is key to the body’s fighting abilities.  Dehydration will only add further complications for your body to deal with, and lessen its capacity for battling the cold.  Generally speaking, drinking plain old water is the best way to hydrate when you have a cold (or anytime for that matter).  The traditional recommendation is eight, 8-ounce glasses of water per day, but it is very difficult to drink too much water.  When you have a cold, you may also want to try electrolyte drinks (such as sports drinks).  This is more important when you are actively losing fluids due to an illness, but it may also be beneficial in this case as well. We all know the discomfort of the scratchy throat and stuffy nose that usually accompany the common cold.  Thankfully, there are simple home remedies that can help provide some relief.  Try gargling and spitting with tepid or warm salted water.  This can help soothe the throat irritation caused by inflammation, and the antibacterial properties of the saline solution may aid in your battle against germs.  Some people like to use a Neti pot or similar device to irrigate the nasal passages with salted water, but you can also achieve a similar decongestant effect with saline nasal sprays. Try a hot shower, a steam, or some other source of warm, moist air.  Humid air helps open breathing passages and can assist in soothing irritation.  Even a room humidifier will offer some benefit. Not all "tried-and-true" remedies have stood the test of time based on scientific evidence, but others do seem to have legitimate reasons for success in treating cold symptoms.  Prepare chicken soup. This old wives’ tale has some scientific basis to back it up. The combination of broth, vegetables and chicken seems to inhibit part of your immune system response that creates respiratory symptoms.  In addition, the hot broth reduces mucus and improves your hydration.  Substitute green, echinacea and herbal teas for coffee. You should drink...

An acronym can help you remember the names of the months. An acronym is a memory device in which you make up a word or sentence using the first letter in a group of terms you must memorize. This can easily be used to help you remember the days in each month.  The first letter of September, April, June, and November are S, A, J, and N. You could make a sentence like, "Sarah And June Nap." January, March, May, July, August, October, and December all have 31 days. The first letters (D, J, M, M, O, J, and A) can make: "Justin Must Make Diced Apricot Orange Jam." Mnemonic devices help you remember complicated information by associating an image with information. For example, if you want to remember that February has 28 days most years, picture hearts forming the numbers 2 and 8. Hearts are related to February because of Valentine's Day. If you can find ways to make connections between which months have which number of days, it can be easier to remember. Facts are easier to remember if you can make some connection.  For example, September, April, June, and November all have 30 days and beginnings. School begins in September; spring starts in April and summer starts in June. The day after Thanksgiving in November is the beginning of the Christmas season. You may not be able to link all the months with 31 days, since there are so many, but you can still find small connections between small groups of months. For example, January is harsh and cold, while March is dreary and rainy. October contains Halloween, a frightening holiday. All these months have certain qualities that are scary, fierce, or harsh.

TL;DR in English:


Don't break up with your partner by text, phone or email. Don't place blame solely on the other person for the breakup. Don't lead your ex on. Don't be a blabbermouth. Don't be petty.

Before attempting any removal, rinse the hook and the appendage with clean water to remove any debris from the hook and the wound area. Carefully push the hook through your finger, toe, etc. until it pushes through the other side. It hurts, but it's better than ripping it out the way it came. If the barb has not fully entered the skin, just pull the hook out carefully. It will hurt, but what do you expect? You have a fishhook in your hand. Take a pair of wire cutters and cut the barb off the hook. This will help you remove the hook without sustaining further damage to the affected area. This will hurt, but it is still way better than ripping the hook out. You want to minimize the amount of damage the hook does to your skin. If the wound is bleeding heavily, apply pressure to the wound until the bleeding slows down or stops. This may take several minutes to half an hour. If the bleeding has not slowed down in that period of time, you may need to seek medical assistance. If you have access to non-stick gauze or non-adherent bandage, apply them to the wound. These can help stop the bleeding without sticking.

TL;DR in English: Clean the area. Push the hook through. Cut the barb. Pull out the remainder of the hook. Stop the bleeding.

Seal the container and find an out of the way place to store it. By the time you wake up the following morning, the baking soda should have locked in the strongest odors.  For best results, the baking soda should be allowed to do its thing for at least 6–8 hours. Baking soda is one of the simplest solutions for persistent odors, as it doesn't require any scrubbing, wiping or washing.

TL;DR in English: Let the insoles sit overnight.

This is disrespectful, and for your soon-to-be ex, it can feel like you're being evasive. Have the decency to do it privately and in person. You might not realize it, but there are benefits to ending a relationship in person. For one thing, it gives both people a chance to talk and reflect on the situation. And even though it will be harder to do, it will most likely lead to less drama, which is a good thing. Things are never that simple. Be prepared to discuss your relationship without pointing your finger.  You can probably find bad things about your relationship that you contributed to, if you really wanted. In an effort to be fair, and to not have your ex-girlfriend feel like she is directly responsible for the end of the relationship, be sure to mention the things that you could have changed to make the relationship better. In some cases, the blame will be solely on the other person. In those situations, it's okay to tell it like it is. If your girlfriend is cheating, abusing drugs, manipulative, or increasingly disrespecting you, you can lay the blame directly on her actions. In most cases, this can cause an argument, so be prepared. The upside is that you're being honest with both yourself and her why the relationship didn't work, leaving you both with a better chance of finding lasting love later on. Isn't that what you both want? If you don't want to be friends afterward, don't leave the door open for that possibility. Find a nice way to say it. Instead of "Oh yeah, and I don't want to stay friends afterwards, just so you know," try something like "You know that I care for you. I just don't think it will be healthy for either of us to stay friends immediately after we break up. Hopefully sometime down the road, when we've both figured stuff out, we can get to that place." Use discretion when telling mutual friends about your break up. Bragging or gossiping could be very hurtful to someone who may already be in a fragile emotional state. On top of that, it could encourage your ex to sling some nasty...

Use a time-tracking computer app, such as Rescue Time, to understand how you’re spending your time online. You might be losing a lot of hours you could be studying chatting with guys. Keep track of your time to make sure you’re spending enough time on your schoolwork. An hourly study target can help you sideline boy distractions. Consult your planner and prioritize the assignments for the coming week. Use the distraction-free time when everyone else is consumed with a party to get a head start on the most difficult tasks. Doing this will make your school week easier, as you’ll have gotten the most difficult work out of the way. In the evenings, take 5 minutes to set an academic goal for the next day. It may be reading 3 chapters of your history lesson, understanding a hard math problem, or talking with your teacher about your writing skills. Naming a concrete thing you’d like to achieve keeps your attention focused on the goal rather than on boys. It may help to write your goal down in your day planner to keep it at the top of your mind. You can refer back to it when you’re feeling distracted. While setting small goals can keep you going from day to day, you need a bigger purpose to keep you motivated about school. Whether you’ll be the first in your family to attend college or you have a particular job in mind, think about some long-term achievements your studies are building towards. Staying connected to your dreams will make it easier to ignore the background drama of boys, dances, and crushes. Focusing on school is easier when you know you’ll get a break to indulge in your boy-craziness occasionally. You might reward yourself with social time when you hit an academic goal. Find a way of being social that works for you and helps you achieve balance with your studies.  For example, you might make a deal with yourself that you can go to a dance if you finish your social studies paper early. You may even work harder on your paper because you really want to go to the dance. Remember that most high school...

Make sure your shoes are completely dry before you store them.  It will be easier for dirt to stick to your shoes if they are wet.  Moisture can also weaken the fibers in shoes causing them to become weaker and lose their shape. Don’t leave your shoes out in the open.  If you leave them out, people might step on them or even spill things on them.  Keep them in their shoebox until you are ready to wear them. If you don’t have the box your shoes came in, you can place them on a shoe rack that is away from people. Make sure you store your shoes in a cool place.  Heat can cause discoloration in white shoes.  If you have a shoe closet, keep your white shoes as far away from the light bulb as you can. Too much sunlight can cause your shoes to become yellow.  If you plan on wearing them outside, a little sun is unavoidable, but never leave your shoes out in the sun.  If you have to take your shoes off to go swimming, rent a locker to protect them.  At the very least, leave them under a chair or table. If you know you’ll be at an outside event all day, it may be wise to wear a different pair of shoes.

Each time you use your electronic toothbrush, rinse the head under running water. Get out any traces of toothpaste from your brush after each use. This will keep it clean on a daily basis. Some people advocate storing your toothbrush in mouthwash or another disinfectant solution. This is unnecessary and it can also lead to contamination if multiple people share the same solution. Store your toothbrush in a toothbrush stand or an empty glass instead. The heads of electric toothbrushes are replaceable. Every three to four months, replace your toothbrush's head. Even with regular cleaning, a toothbrush's head will need to be replaced periodically. When a toothbrush's bristles begin to look worn and splayed, it's time to replace the toothbrush's head. Avoid storing your toothbrush in closed containers. This does not actually protect your toothbrush from bacteria. In fact, the increased humidity can increase your toothbrush's exposure to bacteria. Instead, store your toothbrush in an open container in your bathroom.

Your cat deserves to be spoiled a little on its birthday. From the beginning of the day to the end, make an extra effort to make your cat feel loved.  Put fresh blankets in your cat's bed. Allow your cat access to a spot you would normally restrict. For example, clear off breakables from a mantel for the day. Open the curtains near a spot where your cat likes to snuggle. Allow it to sunbathe. Pet your cat extra throughout the day. Allow it to climb into your lap and cuddle. Cats love having perches in your home. A nice birthday surprise would be to provide a new window perch. Try clearing off a shelf or table near the window to allow your cat to gaze outside throughout the day. You can also invest in a kitty condo. They can be a bit pricey, but your cat will love having its own space to lounge. This can be a great birthday treat. You want your cat to feel loved on its birthday. Throughout your cat's special day, play with it. Encourage your cat to use any new birthday toys, or play with old favorites. Start off the morning playing with your cat so it feels cared for on its birthday. A birthday party can be fun, but there are some safety concerns to keep in mind. Your cat won't enjoy its birthday if it ends up getting hurt during the festivities.  If you're including a pet guest list, only include pets your cat is familiar and comfortable with. Unfamiliar animals during a party can cause unnecessary stress. Be careful when inviting families with small children. Make sure any children in attendance know how to safely interact with animals. Keep first aid items on hand, as well as the phone number of a veterinarian.

If you have a significant amount of paint left, you can return it to the original can; remember, however, that the amount you return to the can has already been thinned, meaning the next time you use it, you may need to adjust the amount of thinner used. Epoxy paints and paints that use a catalyst (two-part paints) cannot be returned to the original can; they must be used entirely or disposed of properly once mixed. Wipe off/out any excess paint. If there is too much paint left in the cup or the spray assembly, you may have to repeat this step a few times. Do this as soon as the paint job has dried; leaving the tape on the surface for an extended period will allow the adhesive to set, making it difficult to remove.

TL;DR in English: Pour out the unused paint. Rinse the siphon tube and cup with thinner. Fill the spray cup about 1/4 of the way with paint thinner, slosh it around, and spray it through the sprayer until it comes out clear. Remove all masking tape and paper from your work area.

Most people interested in roof "pitch" are actually measuring the slope, which is the most useful measurement when considering roofing material and rainwater. Slope is the correct term for the ratio of vertical to horizontal distance on a particular plane of the roof. Even carpenters often use the terms slope and pitch interchangeably. For example, if one side of the roof rises by 8 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal distance, it has a slope of "8 in 12" or "8:12." Technically, roof pitch is the ratio of total vertical roof height (the rise) to total horizontal distance from wall to wall (the span). Although most homeowners do not need to measure pitch, it still pays to understand this term. When you're arranging for repairs or roofing material, your calculations will be way off if you misinterpret "pitch" to mean "slope."  Again, some carpenters and manufacturers use both terms to mean "slope." Just ask if there's any confusion about which measurement they're referring to. For example, if a roof is 32 feet from wall to wall and the ridge is 8 feet above the walls, the pitch has an 8 to 32 pitch, simplifying to "1 to 4" or "1/4". If you do need to calculate the pitch, an estimate or shortcut is usually more practical than measuring the roof's overall dimensions. Here are a couple examples:  For a simple gable roof, the span (wall to wall) will be twice the size of the run (wall to ridge, horizontally). Divide the slope by two to get the pitch. For a roof with the ridge above one wall, the span is the same as the run. The slope is the same as the pitch. For more complex roofs, you may need to calculate it section by section. Carpenters use special conversion charts to estimate the roofing material required based on the slope and shape.

Rent or buy an orbital polisher to apply the compound professionally. Use a clean, dry microfiber towel to apply your compound by hand. Apply a thin line of rubbing compound directly over your scratches. Hold your orbital polisher over your scratches for 10-20 seconds. Use rubbing compound over all of your car to polish every surface. Rub the compound into the surface of your car until it is invisible. Rinse the car with water to get rid of any remaining rubbing compound.

You may not be interested in volunteering or attaining a job—that's okay. Helping out others is only a recommendation. However, many volunteers report that their work makes them feel good; some volunteer work can even help with self-development.  Consider the benefits and drawbacks of volunteer work or jobs, and use this to decide whether you'll help others out. You don't have to get a job when you're a teenager—and when you're under a certain age, it's nearly impossible to find one—but that doesn't mean that you're unable to help out!

Volunteer at an animal shelter or collect supplies for your local non-profit shelter. Are you good with people? Find a job or volunteer work that's oriented around talking to others. Can you design complex web pages with minimal effort? Offer to help others learn web design. Take your talents and interests and find something you can do based around those. It can be a great help to volunteer or work, and have fun at the same time! If one of your talents is that you're an all-A's scholar, see if there's a program at your school that allows you to tutor struggling students. If not, try asking families that have younger kids or advertising a tutoring service—you may get some great opportunities!   It's okay to turn down a tutoring offer. If you can't tutor the neighbor's son because he's too loud and disruptive, or if you aren't good at a subject that somebody needs help with, it's okay to politely say, "I'm sorry, I can't do that job" or "I don't think your child and I work together very well".

To most effectively apply your rubbing compound, you can rent or buy an orbital polisher from most home supply stores. When rubbing compound over the entire car, use a soft pad. On average, a polisher costs about $30 - 70 to buy new (£21.30 - 49.71). While orbital polishers do the best job of spreading the rubbing compound, you can also effectively use a towel.  Make sure your towel is completely clean so you do not rub dirt and debris into your car. Do this if you don't have access to a polisher or want to remove scratches on a budget. You want the scratched areas to be covered with rubbing compound. If your compound comes in a tube, you can squeeze it directly onto the scratches. If your rubbing compound does not come in a tube, you can scoop some out using a paper towel or rag.  Rubbing compound helps smoothen over the freshly sanded areas, so your scratches look invisible. Make sure your car is not in any direct sunlight before you apply the compound. Use a wool pad if you are using a polisher. Place your polisher directly onto the scratch, and pull the trigger or press the button to start the machine. The orbital polisher will rapidly spin across the surface of your car, spreading the rubbing compound over the scratches. Apply about 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of compound to your cloth or polisher after you spread rubbing compound over the scratched areas. Start at the top of your car and apply the compound in 1–2 ft (0.30–0.61 m) sections. Move your hands or the buffer in a circular motion to apply the rubbing compound. In addition to removing scratches, rubbing compound freshens up the color of your car and makes it look sparkling and shiny. It essentially acts as a polisher for your car. Move your orbital polisher or microfiber cloth in small circles until you rub in all of the compound. Press into the surface of your car with moderate force as you apply the compound. The compound is completely rubbed in when you cannot see any residue or streaks on your car.  With moderate force, your rubbing compound should...

Finding meaning in your life is not easy, nor should it be, but you can get wonderful clues from your own past. Think about the things that brought your great pride in yourself, as these are often the moments where you found the most meaning and purpose while working, traveling, or learning.  What makes these moments so special? What challenged or excited you about the work? What motivated you to succeed? . Identifying your values is an important part of finding your inner self. As you reflect on things that made you proud, think about what these experiences reveal about your values. Try asking yourself, what values are connected with the things that make me feel proud?  For example, if you felt proud at your high school graduation, then you might value education. If you felt proud when you received a promotion at work, then you might value professional achievement. If you felt proud when you planned a surprise party for your mother, then you might value family and doing nice things for other people. Start creating a list of all of your values. You might even rank them in order of their importance to you. Finding your inner self is as much about looking forward as looking back. Whether it is a job, a house in your favorite town, a loving partner, or lazy Sundays with a book, your desires reveal a lot about you. Simply jot down the things you want in life. Don't be shy, and don't filter this list of things in any way. Which ones are you pursuing? Which ones have your forgotten about? Which ones matter most? What kind of person do you imagine when looking at your own list of wants and priorities? Would you write the novel you always talk about, or would you get to work constructing a patio? Would you travel the world or sit inside with a good movie? If money wasn't an option, would you grab the non-profit job you've always eyed or pursue an old hobby? These ideas are not just fantasies, they are a version of you unburdened by stress and logistics. Finding that version of yourself is the first step in making it...

TL;DR in English: Think about the moments you are most proud of in your life. Identify your values Determine the things you want in life. Think about how you'd spend your time if you had total freedom. Reconsider the facts, ideas, and outlooks you grew up with or take for granted. Dig beyond the simplistic labels given to you by others. Consider taking an in-depth personality test as a jumping off point. Meditate or spend 10 minutes each day in quiet reflection. Remember that this is a life-long process, not an quickly accomplished goal.

Once you are already in the U.S., you don't need a visa (which is a document that lets you enter the country). Instead, you need to adjust your status. Download Form I-539 and its instructions from the USCIS website here: https://www.uscis.gov/i-539.  Either type your information using a typewriter or print neatly using black ink. If you need more space, then attach a piece of paper with the additional information. On the top of the page, include your name, A-Number, and the page number, part number, and item number your answer refers to. Sign and date the sheet. You can include all of your family members on one application. You must submit the following documents along with your completed application.

If you have a broken lid, you can try to pry it off with a screwdriver. If you don't, you can try to cut it off with a sharp implement.

Don't bang the lid on a table. Don't force the lid open. Don't leave bottles open.

Starting your litter box training in the cage makes it easier on you and the ferret. The ferret likes to stay clean, so it will be interested in having an area to use the bathroom that's away from its sleeping area. After the ferret gets the hang of the cage, you can move to a slightly larger room, such as the bathroom. Put your ferret in its litter box first thing in the morning after it wakes up. Avoid waking a ferret that is asleep, so you don't startle it. This routine encourages the ferret to go to the bathroom in the correct place.  One of the best times to use this technique is in the morning when your ferret has been sleeping overnight. Most of the time, your ferret will want to use the bathroom when it wakes up. Repeat the process several times a day for a week or so until your ferret gets the idea. When you see the ferret go in the litter box on its own, immediately pet it and praise it. That lets the ferret know that you approve of this behavior and that it should continue it. Watch for bathroom-going behavior. Typically, a ferret will lift its tail and scoot back a little. If you see this behavior when the ferret isn't in the litter box, pick up the ferret and put it in the litter box to encourage it to go there instead. Don't scold your ferret or try to push your ferret's nose in its accident. It won't understand what you mean, and you will just make it fear you. When your ferret defecates outside the litter box, use a paper towel or glove to move it into the litter box. You can also rub a little litter into a urine spill and put it in the litter box.  When the ferret notices its own scent in the litter box, it will be more inclined to use it. It's also a good idea to leave a little bit of the ferret's feces in the litter box when you clean it so the ferret still associates it with the bathroom. When your ferret keeps returning to a certain corner to use the bathroom, start by cleaning the area thoroughly. Then, place towels the ferret has slept on or a hammock in that corner for the ferret to...

TL;DR in English: Begin by keeping the ferret in the cage to encourage litter box use. Show your ferret the litter box when they wake up. Praise the ferret when it uses the litter box on its own. Put the ferret in the litter box if you witness an accident in action. Move accidents back into the litter box to encourage your ferret to use it. Put beds where the ferret has had accidents.

A broken leg can be very traumatic for your kitten. Give your kitten as much rest as possible while it is injured. Rest aids healing and minimizes pain or discomfort. Restrict your kitten’s movement, especially jumping, as much as possible. One way to help restrict movement and comfort your kitten is creating one area in which to sleep, eat, and use the litter box. It can be an entire room or in a crate. This can ensure your kitten doesn’t need to move often and doesn’t waste energy that is better spent on healing.  Place a warm blanket in the area, which can provide warmth and comfort to your kitten. Consider putting it in a space that allows you to lay down with your kitten. This can give your kitten extra comfort. Make sure your kitten has clean food and water in the area. Your kitten may not want to eat or drink much until it starts feeling better. Put a small litter box or bathroom pad in the area. Take your kitten to it every hour so that it doesn’t have to put any weight on the leg. Your kitten may be scared or cry because of the break or treatment. Pick up your kitten or sit by the blanket and gently pet it. This can calm your kitten and provide reassurance. Stroke your kitten’s head, neck, and under the chin. Avoid the broken leg and any spots that are sensitive. Your kitten may also not want to be pet. If this is the case, give it some space until it is ready for contact again. In addition to touch, talking can also provide your kitten comfort and reassurance. Any you’re your are with your kitten or checking in on it, give a few comforting words.  Maintain a soft voice so you don’t scare your kitten. Include your kitten’s name and offer praise while you talk. For example, “I know you’re hurting and scared, Sam? You’re being such a good kitten.” Consider gently stroking your kitten when you talk to it.

TL;DR in English: Let your kitten rest. Create a cozy and quiet spot. Pet your kitten gently. Talk to your kitten.

This is a common tactic for stuck lids on glass jars with wide metal lids (like pickle jars, etc.), but it's a bad idea here. Nail polish bottles usually have lids made of plastic, so they won't deform the same way metal will if you bang them on a hard surface. If you do bang them hard enough to change the shape of the lid, you stand a good chance of breaking it, which will cause a spill. A bottle of polish that seems like it's impossible to open can be seriously aggravating, but losing your patience is a bad idea. Ripping or tearing the lid off with pliers, for instance, is a recipe for disaster — you'll likely break the lid and cause a spill. Trying to pry the lid off with a screwdriver or cut it off with sharp implements will usually lead to the same result. As a general rule, trying to get the lid off in any way other than twisting it the way it was meant to be twisted is a risky bet. Once you get the lid off, you may be tempted to leave it off (or leave it slightly unscrewed) so that it won't get stuck in the future. This is a bad idea. The lid is crucial for keeping the polish from coming in contact with air. If you let air into the bottle, the polish can dry up, making the polish useless. Instead, to prevent sticking, clean the bottle neck with polish remover and close it moderately tightly.

Recognize an ear infection in your child. Check your child’s ear with an electronic ear monitor. Call your child's doctor. Have a doctor check your child’s ear. Get additional tests if your doctor recommends it.

Take a few minutes to sit down and write down important information about the dispute. The most common issues are receiving a faulty item or not receiving payment. Also think about how you want the problem resolved. Do you want a refund or do you want the item replaced? Before opening a dispute, you should make sure that you have the following information:  the name of the other party. the transaction number. This should be on any correspondence associated with the transaction. It will also appear on the “My eBay” page. the date of the transaction. the date you were charged (if you paid for an item). You should attempt to resolve the dispute informally. Sometimes problems can be fixed quite easily. Contact the other party through eBay (instead of through private email). By contacting the other party through eBay, eBay will be able to trace the communications. The other party should promptly agree to issue a refund, pay for the item, or replace the item. If the other party does not respond in a day or two, you should open a dispute with eBay.

TL;DR in English: Identify the dispute. Gather necessary information. Contact the other party.

Try to get the kind of wax that comes in flake or pellet form. It will melt a lot quicker. If your wax comes in blocks, cut it into smaller pieces so that it melts quicker.  You will need to add wax to your candle. Many people find that candles made from pure crayon do not burn well. The wax will "shrink" when you melt it, so you will need the extra wax.

TL;DR in English: Measure out enough wax to fill your candle holder, plus some extra and set it aside.

Ear infections generally come on suddenly. A child with an ear infection may:  Complain of ear pain Pull at the ear Be unable to sleep Cry Be irritable Have trouble hearing Have trouble balancing Have a fever of 100 °F (37.8 °C) or more Have fluid leaking from the ear Not be hungry Have diarrhea or vomiting These devices, such as EarCheck, use sound waves to detect whether there is fluid buildup in the middle ear. The device reads the sound waves that are reflected back and determines whether there is fluid in the middle ear. If your child has fluid buildup, you should bring the child to the doctor. However, fluid buildup does not necessarily mean that there is an ear infection.  You can purchase an electronic ear monitor online or at your local pharmacy for approximately $50. Make sure you follow the directions carefully, and use caution when using these on young children. Even if your child’s reading comes back as not reporting fluid buildup, you may still want to bring her to the doctor if she is having concerning symptoms to make sure there are no other problems causing her symptoms. Your doctor will likely want you to bring the child in so his ears can be checked. Your doctor is particularly likely to recommend this if:  Your child's pain is very bad Your child's pain has continued for more than 24 hours Your child has recently had a cold, flu, or other infection There is fluid coming out of the child's ear The doctor will use an otoscope, and sometimes a pneumatic otoscope to look into your child’s ear. The device allows the doctor to see the eardrum, and also can be used to blow a small amount of air against the eardrum. The doctor when watches to see if the eardrum moves. This will not hurt.  If the ear doesn’t move as much as usual, or doesn’t move at all, it means that fluid has built up behind the eardrum. However, the most important part of the exam is your doctor seeing what the ear drum looks like through the otoscope. Signs of infection are if the ear drum is red, swollen, or has yellow fluid...

If you need to cry on command, thinking of a time when you felt sad can help put you in the right frame of mind for tears. For example, it may  help to think back to the loss of a loved one or a particularly bad breakup. Other emotional triggers might include losing something special to you, getting in trouble with your parents, or missing out on something you worked really hard to achieve. Many people have fears that deep down they are not as strong as they like to believe. Picturing yourself as small and weak might put you in a vulnerable mindset that can lead to real tears.  Once you tap into that feeling, let the helpless feeling flow out of you in the fear of tears. For example, a common exercise in acting classes is to imagine yourself as a small child whom no one cares for. Sometimes, thinking back on a bad experience from the past can lead to real emotions that are hard to overcome. If this is the case, try to imagine something sad that could happen hypothetically rather than thinking of something personal. For instance, you could try thinking of puppies being left on the side of the road. You want to save them all, but you can only take one. As you're holding the one puppy you got to save, you look at all of the other puppies that aren't being held. Try imagining things that make your eyes fill up with happy tears, like a time someone gave you a meaningful gift, veterans being reunited with their families, or someone triumphing in the face of adversity. As long as you’re not smiling, no one will be able to tell if you’re crying happy or sad tears.

TL;DR in English: Think about a time when you felt really emotional. Imagine yourself being weak or helpless. Create a sad scenario using your imagination. Cry happy tears if you don’t want to feel sad.

Some people have good luck using coffee grounds to eliminate gas smells. All you do is rub grounds into the affected area. After a week or so, vacuum up the coffee, and the smell should be lessened. Some experts recommend trying a short coffee treatment before you shampoo the area. Some people cover up the smell by dousing it in dry baking soda. They leave the baking soda on it all the time, switching it out monthly or so by vacuuming up the old and adding a fresh layer. You can also use baby powder instead of baking soda. Another option is kitty litter, which is designed to absorb moisture and smells. Pour it on the spill, and leave it for at least a day before vacuuming it up. You may need to repeat the process several times. These sprays are designed for fabrics, so they may make a difference when it comes to a gasoline smell. Spray it on generously, and then allow it to air dry.

TL;DR in English: Rub in some coffee grounds. Pour on the baking soda. Add a layer of kitty litter. Try an odor-eliminating spray.

” You can either make a small, human-shaped form out of foil or use a doll, like a barbie doll. If you decide to use a doll, cut off as much of its hair as you can. Otherwise, the head of the mummy will be difficult to wrap.  Don’t use someone else’s doll without asking permission. Inexpensive dolls can be bought at grocery stores and discount department stores. Add one part water to one part flour in a large mixing bowl. Next, whisk the mixture together to create a smooth paste. The paste should have the consistency of pancake batter. If it’s too thick, add a few splashes of water. If it’s too thin, sprinkle in more flour.  For example, if you use one cup of flour, you will need one cup of water. Add a tablespoon of salt to the paste if you want to prevent molding. Tear out small, thin strips of unruled white paper or thin cloth. You can also use newspaper, tissue paper, or paper towels. If you’re making an authentic-looking mummy, choose white paper or fabric. Otherwise, the mummy will be multicolored. The strips should be about 3-4 inches long (7.5 to 10 centimeters) and half an inch wide (1.3 centimeters). First, dip a strip of paper or fabric into your paste and coat each side. Gently squeeze the strip to remove any excess paste. Next, wrap the strip around the mummy as tightly as you can.  Wrap the arms against the body. Mummies usually don’t have individually wrapped arms. If you decide to do more than one layer of papier mâché, let each layer dry completely before adding another. Leave the mummy in a sunny spot for twenty-four to forty-eight hours. This will guarantee that any layers have dried. Otherwise, the mummy may mold.  To test whether or not the mummy is dry, press it gently with a finger. The papier mâché should be chalky and stiff. To speed the drying process, place the mummy under a fan.

The best way to reduce uric acid levels is to limit the amounts of purine-rich foods in your diet. Purines are chemicals that form when your body breaks down certain types of food, but a high level of purines can lead to conditions like gout and kidney stones. You should avoid purine-rich foods if you have had gout or uric acid-containing kidney stones or if you have a family history of these conditions. Do not exceed more than two to four servings of any of these foods per week and avoid them completely during a bout with gout or if you have uric-acid-containing kidney stones. Purine-rich foods to limit or avoid include:  Beer and liquor Sugary soft drinks Fatty foods such as fried foods, butter, margarine, and high-fat dairy products Organ meats such as liver, kidneys, and sweetbreads Beef, chicken, pork, bacon, veal, and venison Anchovies, sardines, herring, mussels, codfish, scallops, trout, haddock, crab, oyster, lobster, and shrimp Phytate is a substance that seems to prevent the formation of many types of kidney stones, including those caused by uric acid. Include two to three servings of phytate-rich foods every day. Phytate-rich foods include:  Beans Legumes Whole grains Make sure that you include calcium-rich foods in your diet, such as low-fat dairy products.  Include one to two servings of calcium rich foods per day. Calcium rich foods include:  Milk Yogurt Cheese Getting enough vitamin C may also help to lower uric acid levels. Try eating a couple servings of foods that are rich in Vitamin C each day or talk to your doctor about including a vitamin C supplement to help lower your uric acid levels.Foods that are rich in vitamin C include:  Citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and limes Kiwi fruit Berries Cantaloupe Pineapple Mango Papaya Broccoli Peppers Sweet and white potatoes Tomatoes Leafy greens such as spinach, cabbage, and turnip greens Cauliflower Winter squash Drinking plenty of water can also help to reduce uric acid in your blood. For most people, the recommended amount is...

TL;DR in English: Limit purine-rich foods. Increase your intake of phytate-rich foods. Include dairy products in your diet. Eat vitamin C-rich foods or add a vitamin C supplement. Stay hydrated. Drink green tea. Sip some tart cherry juice. Include a moderate amount of coffee.

Chickens can eat some of the insects scorpions prey on for food. As such, they'll make the area less inviting to scorpions.  Keep in mind that scorpions are nocturnal and chickens are not, so chickens won't have much opportunity to hunt scorpions themselves. This natural substance is made from ground up fossils. It's a fine white powder that can be sprinkled in doorways, cracks and crevices both indoors and outdoors. It's completely safe for humans and pets to be around, but the tiny shards of fossil effectively pierce scorpions' exoskeletons when they happen to scuttle over the powder. Diatomaceous earth also kills spiders, roaches and other insects. The same traps that can be used to get rid of mice or roaches work for scorpions, too. Set them up in dark corners and near sources of water. If you catch a scorpion, throw the trap away and set out another one in the same area, since it's likely a spot that more scorpions will be attracted to.

TL;DR in English: Install a chicken coop. Try diatomaceous earth. Set out sticky traps.

If you suspect that you have a sexually transmitted disease, make an appointment with your doctor right away or visit a health clinic. Prompt treatment of STDs is crucial to help prevent long-term effects from disease and spreading it to others. When left untreated, some STDS can cause serious long-term health problems including hair loss, arthritis, infertility, birth defects, cancer, and rarely, even death. Some STDs can be treated with antibiotics while others cannot be cured at all. Regardless of your situation, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions for how to cure or manage your condition. If you receive a diagnosis for an STD, your doctor will advise you on your treatment options and give you information on how to avoid spreading your STD to other people.  Your healthcare provider may prescribe medications to treat your condition or at least to lessen the severity of your symptoms. There is no cure for HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, or herpes. However, there are treatments available to help mitigate symptoms. There are several ways to decrease your chances of contracting an STD infection. Make sure that you choose the method that works best with your lifestyle. The methods you can use to help prevent contraction of an STD include:   Abstain. The only sure way to ensure that you do not contract an STD is to abstain from oral, vaginal, and anal sex. Use protection. If you do engage in sexual activities, use a latex condom to minimize the possibility of contracting an STD. Be monogamous. One of the most reliable ways to avoid STDs is to be in a mutually monogamous relationship. Have an open conversation with any partner about whether they have been tested before engaging in any activities. Get vaccinated. For hepatitis B and HPV, you can be vaccinated. This helps ensure that you will not contract the diseases even if you do come into contact with them during sex. The hepatitis B vaccination is usually administer to infants at birth, but be sure to check. The HPV vaccination consists of 3-dose series...
