Know that you can get through this. Ask for help immediately. Delay your plan. Think of all the people who love and care about you. Don't feel guilty or ashamed for your thoughts. Think of all the things you have yet to do. Find a distraction. Talk to a doctor or a therapist. Make a gratitude list. Take care of yourself. Avoid your triggers. Avoid drugs or alcohol. Address the causes as much as you can.

Swelling in the skin on and around your eyes can make them look smaller. Try these steps to reduce puffiness:  Get plenty of sleep. Wash your face with cool water. Place cold, used teabags over your eyes. The tannins in the tea act as an astringent, tightening the skin. Reduce your salt intake. Too much salt leads to water retention, which leads to eye puffiness. Exercise to increase circulation, which in turn reduces water retention.

TL;DR in English: Reduce any puffiness in your eyes.

Before creating glow-in-the-dark slime, collect the following ingredients and tools:  Disposable Cups Sealable Sandwich Bags ¾ teaspoon Polyvinyl Alcohol ½ Cup Water ⅛ teaspoon Green Glow Paint ¾ teaspoon Borax Powder ½ Cup Warm Water To create glow-in-the-dark slime, you must first create a PVA solution.  Measure ¾ teaspoon polyvinyl alcohol. Pour it into a disposable cup. Measure ½ cup water. Pour the water into the disposable cup. Stir the mixture until the ingredients are combined. The addition of green glow paint causes the slime to illuminate in the dark.  Unseal a sandwich bag. Measure 2 teaspoons PVA solution and pour it into the bag. Measure ⅛ teaspoon green glow paint. Add the paint to the PVA solution in the bag. Seal the bag well. Squish the contents with your fingers to combine the PVA solution with the paint. In a separate bag, produce a borax solution.  Unseal a new bag. Measure 3/4 teaspoon borax powder and pour it into the bag. Measure ½ cup warm water. Pour the water into the bag with the borax. Seal the bag. Squish the contents with your fingers. Continue to mix the ingredients in this manner until the powder is dissolved. The glow-in-the-dark slime is a mixture of the PVA-paint solution and the borax solution.  Retrieve and new sandwich bag and unseal it. Pour 2 tablespoons PVA-paint solution into the bag. Pour 2 teaspoons borax solution into the bag. Seal the sandwich bag. Combine the solutions by kneading the contents of the bag. Allow the slime to charge for a few hours. Set the bag in a windowsill or near a light. Take the slime into a dark room or bring it outside at night to watch it glow.

TL;DR in English: Gather the ingredients and tools. Make a PVA solution. Combine the PVA solution with glow paint. Create a borax solution. Combine the two solutions. Charge the slime and watch it glow.

You may literally be at the end of your rope, thinking that there's absolutely nowhere else for you to turn. But you know what the best part of rock bottom is? It's that the only place you can go is up. You may feel like you have nothing to live for and that everything can only get worse, but the important thing to remember is that things will get better if you stick it out and make a game plan. Sure, your life won't be amazing overnight, but if you are aware that things can get better for you, then you'll be on the way to moving forward. When you feel a suicidal thought creeping up, just tell yourself that you know you can get through it and that you'll have better days. There are many people out there who deal with people like us every day of their lives. They are there because they want to help us, not make us feel even more miserable. It may seem like there is nobody in this world who can help you, but that's probably because you're not letting them help you. If you tell your friends how you're feeling then they are guaranteed to help you out. That is, if you let them. It's understandable that you may not want anyone's help, and that's completely acceptable. But you can't just keep having that thought linger in your mind forever.  If you feel that you are in danger of harming yourself and have no one to turn to, call the Emergency Services, your doctor, or check yourself into the ER as soon as you can. You should not be alone during this difficult time, period. You can also call a helpline if you're in trouble and want someone to talk to. You can call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) at any time in the US or you can call Samaritans at 116 123 or PAPYRUS at 0800 068 41 41 (if you are a teen or a young adult) if you're in the UK.

When the lucky bamboo offshoot has had about a month to grow new roots, you can transfer it to its own vase. Fill the bottom of a jar or vase with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of pebbles, marbles, or gravel. Place the stalk into the jar, setting the bottom firmly in the pebbles to keep it upright. Fill the vase with about 4 inches (10 cm) of fresh, dechlorinated water. You can also plant the lucky bamboo in the vase with the other lucky bamboo that you took the cutting from. Lucky bamboo that’s grown in water needs a regular supply of fresh water. Every 30 days, drain the water in the vase and replace it with new water that’s been bottled, distilled, or left out to dechlorinate. If the water evaporates quickly throughout the month, top off the vase with fresh water. Lucky bamboo also thrives in soil. Find a small pot that’s at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) deep, and that has good drainage holes. Fill the pot with a well-draining potting mix, such as cactus potting soil. Press the bottom of the lucky bamboo stalk 2 inches (5.1 cm) into the soil. Water the soil, and keep the soil slightly moist at all times.  Use bottled, distilled, or otherwise dechlorinated water to water the bamboo. Fertilize the soil with a lucky bamboo fertilizer or diluted liquid house plant fertilizer to help the bamboo grow. Bamboo needs lots of bright light to thrive, but it will burn quickly in direct sun. Find a bright location for the bamboo, such as a partially shaded windowsill, where it will get lots of light every day.

TL;DR in English: Transfer the bamboo to a larger vase. Change the water monthly. Plant the lucky bamboo in soil as an alternative. Place the bamboo in bright, indirect light.

A planner is an easy way to keep track of your schedule and stay organized. As a student, you're probably on the go a lot. It's a good idea to choose a planner that is small enough that you can easily carry it or find room for it in your backpack. There are also school planner apps available for your smartphone. They show you your timetable and you can write notes or tips or reminders.  Look at several planners before choosing one. You might like one that has daily pages, or you might prefer weekly or monthly pages. Write down all of your to-do items and scheduled activities in your planner. Jazz it up by using fun pen colors or stickers! If a traditional planner isn’t for you, that’s okay! You can find an app on your phone that will help you keep track of your schedule. The bonus is that you will probably always have your calendar on hand.   Try Any.do to keep track of reminders and events. Try Listastic to manage multiple to-do lists. Try Focus Booster to help you divide your schedule into manageable chunks. When you have a lot of tasks to juggle, it can be easy to forget 1 or 2 of them. Instead of stressing about forgetting something, write down a list of things you need to do each day. You could either make your lists at the beginning of the week or each night before you go to bed. Your list might look something like this:   Go to soccer practice. Study for Biology quiz. Take the dog for a walk. Take my turn making dinner. You can manage to stay on track if you make your calendar really detailed. It might seem unnecessary, but you can save a lot of stress if you set aside time for even the smallest tasks. You might not think of these as scheduled activities, but you should mark out time for them even if they just take a few minutes. As a bonus, you’ll get great satisfaction from crossing lots of things off your list each day! Some short tasks you might list include:  Setting out your clothes for the next day. Packing your lunch. Sending a birthday card to your grandmother. Watching the latest episode of...

TL;DR in English: Buy a planner. Use an app to keep track of your schedule. Make a to-do list for each day. Schedule even small activities. Commit to just a few extracurricular activities

Blurred close-up vision is an indicator of farsightedness (also known as hyperopia). If you find it hard to focus on something that is close to your eyes you may have hyperopia. There is no single distance at which an object becomes blurry that equates to hyperopia.  The extent of your hyperopia influences your ability to focus on close-up objects, so the further away you have be to focus on something, to more pronounced you far-sightedness.  Having to sit further away from your computer or holding a book at arm's length are common indicators. If you are used to doing a lot of up-close work, such as drawing, sewing, writing, or working on a computer, and are finding it harder to focus on the task, this can also be a symptom of presbyopia, which is a type of farsightedness caused by loss of elasticity in the eye muscles. It is common to develop presbyopia as we get older.  You can check this simply by holding a book in front of you and reading it normally. If you are holding it more than ten or twelve inches away you may have presbyopia. If you find yourself moving the book further and further away from your eyes to focus on the words, this could be presbyopia. Often reading glasses will help with this. Presbyopia typically develops during the ages of 40 and 65. If you find increasingly that distant object appear to you as blurred, but nearby objects are clear, you may have nearsightedness (myopia). Myopia typically starts to develop around puberty, but can occur at any time in life. Like hyperopia, myopia is a question of degrees. But if you can read a newspaper fine, but struggle to read the board from the back of class, or find yourself sitting closer and closer to the TV, this could be it.  There is evidence that children who spent more time doing close tasks, such as reading, are more likely to develop myopia. Environmental factors are less significant than genetics, however. Instead of having difficulty seeing close-up or far-away objects, you might have a tough time focussing on either of them. If this...

Bring the skis in out of the cold. Secure the skis. Tie brakes out of the way. Consider the base edge. Remove burrs from the side edge. Sharpen and shape the side edge. Adjust the skis. Clean off old wax and dust.

Pitch requires at least three people, though you can play with more. Typically, a traditional game is played with partners. So, four players are ideal for this game. The dealer shuffles and then deals out six cards to each player. The dealer should hand out the cards in the pattern of 1, then 2, then 3 cards per deal. Once the cards have been dealt, look at the cards you’ve been given. If you’re playing with a partner, look at the cards with your partner. The values for the cards are:  Ten: 10 points. Ace: 4 points. King: 3 points. Queen: 2 points. Jack: 1 point. Every player must now make a bid. How much you bid corresponds to how much confidence you have in the hand you've been dealt.  The bidding starts with the person to the left of the dealer, and goes in a circle. You can bid 2, 3, or 4 cards. The bid represents the number of points that you think you will get in this hand. If you aren't confident at all, you may pass, unless you are the last to bid (i.e. the dealer) and everyone else has passed, in which case you have to bid at least 2. Once someone has placed a bid, you have to match them, surpass them, or pass on your turn. For example, you cannot bid two if three has already been bid. The point of bidding is to figure out who is the most confident in their hand, because that is the person who is going to get to choose the trump suit. The points that you can get in pitch are these: high of trump, low of trump, jack of trump, and game. "High" is the highest trump card played, "low" is the lowest trump card played, "jack" is the jack of trump, and "game" has to do with how many face cards you end up with.

TL;DR in English: Get at least three players together. Evaluate your cards. Make bids. Match the bids. Know how the trump works.

Heat stimulates oil production, so avoid blow drying. It’s also a good idea to avoid flat irons, curling irons, and hot rollers if serious oiliness is a concern. Running your hands through your hair and otherwise playing with your hair spreads oil from the scalp to the rest of your hair. It may also stimulates oil production at the roots.  Touching your hair is also problematic because it transfers oils from your hands (from things such as lotion or anything you've eaten) to your hair.  The same goes for brushing: every time you drag the brush down your head, you’re pulling oil from the roots through the rest of your locks. Obviously you need to brush when you’ve got tangles or pesky fly-aways, but try to resist those 100 strokes a day. These products help to get rid of oiliness at the roots, and they can increase volume. They’re a great option for non-shampoo days.  Dry shampoo is great for occasional hair help, but you shouldn’t use it every day. It can block hair follicles and make it difficult for the sweat glands on your head to properly do their job.  Cornstarch, cornmeal, and blotting papers work similarly to dry shampoo, soaking up excess oil in between washes. Styling products with silicone or a high concentration of oil can make your hair look greasy, so read ingredient labels carefully and choose alternate stylers.

TL;DR in English: Keep heat away from your head. Touch your hair less. Spray on dry shampoo. Avoid oil-based products.

After a long day of skiing, you will want to bring your skis inside to raise them to room temperature. If you proceed to wax a ski while it is still cold, there's a chance that you will bubble the base and create a lot more work for yourself. You can get started on the edging while waiting for your skis to warm up. Clamp the skis securely to a vise at a comfortable work height, on their side with the top of the ski facing you. If you don't have a a vise, place two chairs facing each other and weigh them down with heavy objects on their seats to make them stable. Lay the skis across the top of the seat backs, and fasten them securely with bungee cords. Make sure the skis are completely stable before you continue. You can put small pieces of cardboard between the skis and the vise clamps to prevent scratching. Use brake retainer bands or large, thick rubber bands to pull the ski brakes up and out of the way of the ski edges. This is the edge between the base of the ski and the side. For most purposes and ski models, this should be at a 1º angle.  While you can sharpen this edge in the same way as the side edge, described below, there is a higher risk of damaging the skis by scratching the ski base. If the base edge has become dull or in need of reshaping, getting this done at a ski shop is recommended. If you do this yourself, sharpen the base edge before you sharpen the side edge, using the same tools and process described below. Run your finger along the side edge of your skis, between the upper surface and the side. If you feel irregular nicks or rough patches, of if you see rust along the edge, file those areas down with a wet diamond stone, gummy stone, or bastard file. Hold the tool flat against the edge and push in long strokes over the rough patch, in one direction only. Repeat until the edge is mostly smooth. If your edges are already sharpened, don't run your finger along them, or you could cut yourself. Wear gloves or just use the stone a few times without testing. For the average skier, this should...

Examine the device for a small battery symbol or a plus and minus sign. Look for a compartment that slides off if there is no symbol. Check the user manual if you’re not sure where the compartment is. Remove any screws holding the compartment shut. Look at the compartment door to determine what size battery you need.

Quail droppings will build up quickly and contain high levels of ammonia. It’s important that you clean out their habitat on a regular basis.  If your quail live in a hutch with a wire floor, you can easily collect and clean up the droppings by placing newspapers or shallow containers (like litter trays) underneath the hutch. If you wish, you can use the collected droppings for fertilizer. If you keep your quail in a deep litter habitat, you may only need to clean the litter once every couple of weeks. How much your quail will need depends on how many quail you have, how mature they are, and what breed they are. Adult Japanese quail, for example, eat approximately 14-18 g (.5-.63 oz) of feed per day.  Buy food designed specially for the age and life stage of your quail. Their nutritional needs change as they grow and mature. If you are unable to get feed specifically formulated for quail, you can give your quail turkey or game bird feed supplemented with calcium. Add a little shell grit or ground limestone to their feed to provide a calcium boost.  Store the food you plan to feed the quail in a dry, cool, well-sealed container. Do not give your quail food that is more than 8 weeks old. Clean water troughs and containers daily to prevent illness. Wash water containers with hot water and a mild detergent, and rinse thoroughly before refilling with fresh water. If you have chicks, fill the water troughs with clean pebbles or marbles to prevent drowning. Regularly examine the quail habitat for damage. Look for rotting wood or holes in the wire or net that could allow predators in (or quail out). Rats often try to get into quail enclosures, so be sure to maintain a secure pen. You may want to do an overall count of your quail daily, weekly or monthly. This is so you know that they’re all there and that the quail are living healthy lives in the habitat. Quail are easily startled, and excessive stress or handling can kill them. Don’t pick up or handle your quail any more than necessary, and enter their habitat only...

TL;DR in English: Change the floor litter regularly. Provide food for the quail. Make sure your quail always have access to clean water. Perform weekly security checks. Keep count of your quail. Do not disturb your quail.

Hold the applicator in your dominant hand and use the other to gently stretch and flatten the cow’s ear. The jaws of the device should be hovering above the soft central part of the ear you pinpointed earlier. Remember to keep to the fleshy tissue, and avoid cartilage, visible blood vessels, or other easily-damaged structures. Squeeze the handles together in 1 smooth motion. You’ll hear a loud click as the 2 halves of the tag come together. Once the tag is in place, release the handles and pull the applicator away. Speak to the cow in a soft voice and stroke its head and neck to keep it calm as its momentary discomfort passes, but avoid touching its ears.  You’ll need to be quick to get the tag in before the cow moves its head. Don’t put any pressure on the applicator handles until you’re ready to insert the tag. Failing to successfully apply the tag on the first attempt will only cause unnecessary pain. Check to make sure the tag is correctly positioned, is secure, and doesn’t appear to be causing the cow any discomfort. It may be a good idea to jot down the animal’s unique identifying code or number in case you need to adjust the tag later on. When using an electronic identification device (EID), it’s important that the visual panel (the face of the male piece) be situated on the outer part of the ear where it can be seen clearly and easily. Many ranchers tag both ears of their cattle to make them easier to read from either side. Some even insert an additional EID or RFID device along with traditional panel tags. If you decide that it’s necessary to apply a second tag, repeat the process the same way you did the first. Once the tag is in position, release the animal from the chute and free it from its lead rope. The newly-attached tag should remain in place for several years, allow you to track, identify, and account for the cow among the rest of your livestock more easily. Sturdy metal identifying buttons tend to stay put longer than flimsy plastic tags. Keep a close eye on the area around the tag. Any...

TL;DR in English: Position the applicator over the tagging site. Clamp the applicator shut firmly and quickly. Inspect the finished tag. Tag the other ear if desired. Let the cow go. Check the tagging site for signs of infection for the next 5-7 days.

The battery compartment on a device can be almost anywhere. It’s usually on the back or the bottom, so check these places first. It may be marked with a small battery-shaped symbol, or you may see a plus or minus sign, indicating the polarity of the battery. These markings may be on the top or just to the side of the compartment door. If you don’t see any markings, you may be able to locate the compartment by finding a piece that slides or snaps off of your device. Look for lines in the case that don’t match the other seam.  You might also see a clasp or a lever that will release the compartment door. The battery compartment may also be held shut by one or more small screws. If you have the instruction manual to your device, it should have a diagram showing where the batteries should go. If you don’t have the manual, you may be able to find one by searching for your device online. If you’re looking online, make sure to include the brand name and model number, if you know it. Usually, the screws in a battery compartment are Phillips screws, meaning they have a cross-shaped dip in the head. To remove these screws, use a Phillips-head screwdriver with a cross-shaped tip.  If the screw is stuck, you may be able to remove it using a screw extractor. In the case of a watch battery, you may need to use a special tool to remove the back of the watch. Usually, the battery size will be printed on the compartment door. If not, the information may be located inside the compartment. If it’s not listed, you might have to estimate the size of the battery, or try different sizes until you find the one that fits.  AAA, AA, C, and D batteries are all 1.5V batteries, but the different sizes produce different currents, or the amount of power that comes out of the battery at once. AAA is the smallest traditional 1.5V battery, and is usually used to power small electronics. D is the largest 1.5V battery and usually charges larger items like flashlights. A 9V battery looks like a small box with snaps on top, and it's often used to...

Find time to practice every day. Make a practice schedule. Plan out your practice sessions in advance. Practice in short "bursts" with periods of rest. Practice interrelated skills when you have downtime.

If your table is wooden, cover it with a blanket, newspapers, or a vinyl tablecloth.  It can be a nuisance to get a wood table too wet. This method requires the use of a hose and a good deal of water. You can also use a deck or patio to do this method. If you are working on a wood surface, make sure it is covered. Move slowly, as a leak could only be visible for a few seconds.  Concentrating on looking for bubbles where the water is running. Bubbles escaping around the valve area can indicate there is a leak in the valve. Inspect the valve to make sure it is sealed properly. Use a small stream of water and work slowly.  Concentrate on looking for streams of bubbles escaping from a leak in the mattress. Look closely around the seams for bubbles. This indicates escaping air and seams are common sites of tears and holes. Permanent marker is less likely to bleed on a wet surface.   You can partially dry the area around the leak with a towel to aid in marking the leak. Once the mattress is dry you can make your mark more clear by placing duct tape or a larger mark near the leak. The seams will take the longest to dry.  If you don't dry a mattress before storing it, mold or mildew can form. It is important to make sure it is 100% dry before you put it away. Before you can use any kind of adhesive patch to repair your mattress, it must be 100% dry.

TL;DR in English: Use an outdoor table to do this method. Hook up a garden hose and  "flood" the area around the valve with water. Flood the rest of the surface of the mattress with water. Mark the leak with a permanent marker once you find the source. Dry the mattress in direct sunlight or in the wind for an hour or two.

You may want to keep track of foods and beverages that cause you any problems. Write down the foods you eat and see how you feel about 1 hour of eating. If the food you ate an hour ago is bothering you, you should eliminate that from your diet. Commonly reported hyperacidity triggers include:  Citrus fruit Caffeinated beverages Chocolate Tomatoes Garlic, onions Alcohol Note: Most of these foods have not been studied enough to make a definitive claim. It's more important to find out what triggers your symptoms than to avoid this exact list. If your bed allows for it, raise the head of it by 6 to 8 inches. Gravity will keep the acid in your stomach. Don't just pile up pillows, though. These tend to bend your neck and body in such a way that increases the pressure. It will make the hyperacidity worse. If you’re carrying extra weight, losing weight may reduce some of the pressure on your lower esophageal sphincter, keeping stomach acid from leaking through. However, you may not need to lose weight, so check with your doctor before attempting to do so. Then, eat a healthy diet based on fresh produce and lean protein and exercise for 30 minutes per day. Decrease the amount of food you eat at any one time. This may reduce the amount of stress and pressure on your stomach. Switching to smaller plates and bowls may help because it tricks your mind into thinking you’re eating more food than you really are. Chew each bite several times, then swallow before taking another bite. This helps your stomach digest food more easily and quickly, leaving less food in the stomach adding pressure on the LES. You can also slow yourself down by putting your fork down between bites. Pressure will increase the discomfort of hyperacidity. You can experience excess pressure because of hiatal hernias (when the upper part of the stomach moves above the diaphragm), pregnancy, constipation, or being overweight. Don't wear clothes that constrict your stomach or abdomen.

TL;DR in English: Avoid foods and drinks that trigger your symptoms. Raise the head of your bed if symptoms interfere with sleep. Ask your doctor if you could benefit from losing weight. Eat smaller meals so you don’t get too full. Eat slowly to improve your digestion. Check that your stomach isn’t under undue pressure.

To make the most of your practice you need to be working on your skill every day. Study after study has shown that consistently practicing a skill is far more useful than trying to practice for 4-5 hours once or twice a week. Even 15-20 minutes of practice 7 days a week cab be more effective than 3 hours once a week.   Sports: If you can't practice one day, try to get some exercise (run, bike, swim, etc.) in if you can.  Music: At the very least, run through your scales and 2-3 practice songs to keep practicing your speed and technique.  Intellectual: Make flashcards and review them daily when you do not have time to study. You want to make practicing a habit as natural as brushing your teeth. Choose a time to practice and stick to it every day. After 2-3 weeks, you brain will adapt to this schedule and prepare itself for "practice-time." Think of practicing like working-out: it is much easier to stay in shape if you have a set time to go to the gym .   Sports: Schedule practices 3-5 days a week, using extra days for exercise. Set aside one day a week for rest and recovery.  Music: Practice your instrument daily, aiming to work at least 1 hour each day.  Intellectual: It is much easier to learn something when you study each day as opposed to all at once the night before a test. Make a habit of practicing writing or studying daily, even if it is only for a short while. If you're learning an instrument, for example, you might set aside 20 minutes to practice scales, 20 minutes to practice chords and 20 minutes to learn a new song. Having a plan for your practice makes you more likely to stick to your routine and to visualize how you will improve.   Sports: Warm up for 15 minutes, work on skill drills (passing, shooting, etc.) for 20-30 minutes, play scrimmages or game-like situations for 20-30 minutes, then cool down with stretching for 10-15 minutes.  Music: Warm up for 10 minutes with scales, then practice your songs, chords, or new techniques. End with a review of old songs you need to know or have fun...

You need at least a three-foot (0.9 m) plot in all direction to grow winter squash without overshadowing other vegetables. Your bed should be in full sunlight. If you don’t have three feet (0.9 m) to spare, build a trellis or use a fence to grow the squash vertically. They can be separated two feet (0.6 m) apart and trained to grow up the support system. Aim for a pH content between 5.8 and 6.8 for best results.  5 cm). Then, plant in three-foot (0.9 m) mounds with approximately three seedlings per mound. Planting atop a mound ensures that the roots will not rot, since squash require a lot of watering.  If you are planting seeds directly into the garden, plant them in a mound with six seeds per mound. Thin to three plants after germination.     Acorn squash that are planted near a fence or trellis will not need to be mounded.

TL;DR in English: Prepare your beds. Amend your soil with compost in the winter, if possible. Aim to plant your seedlings when the soil has warmed to approximately 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 Celsius). Loosen the soil to a depth of at least 12 inches (30.

Place 1 cup (240 ml) of milk and 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine into a small saucepan. Heat the milk and butter over medium heat until the temperature reaches 120 to 130 degrees F (48 to 54 C). The butter won't melt completely. You're just warming the milk and butter which will help the yeast dissolve and activate. Put 2 tablespoons of packed brown sugar and 1 envelope (2 1/4 teaspoons) of instant yeast into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the warmed milk and butter mixture and stir to dissolve the brown sugar and yeast. If you don't have a stand mixer, place your ingredients in a large mixing bowl and use a hand mixer or large wooden spoon to combine them. Add 2 cups of the all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons of salt to the mixing bowl. Beat the dough for 3 minutes so that the flour is completely incorporated. If the dough looks very sticky and continues to cling to the sides of the bowl, slowly add more flour to make the dough soft. It should start to pull away from the sides of the mixing bowl.  Keep track of how much flour you add. Avoid adding more than 1 1/2 cups in total. Add the additional flour in very small amounts (about 1/4 of a cup at a time). It's easier to add flour than remove excess flour from your dough. Flour a counter top or bread board. Scoop the dough onto the work space and knead the bread until it's smooth and stretchy. This should take about 8 to 10 minutes of kneading. To knead the dough, punch it down in the center, fold it in half and push it forward with the palm of your hand. Continue the process of folding and pushing the dough. This kneading will activate the gluten in the bread and help your pretzel bread develop a good consistency. Grease a large mixing bowl and set your pretzel dough in the bottom. Cover the bowl and put it somewhere warm and draft-free to prove for one to two hours. Let it prove until it's doubled in size.  It's easiest to use a clear bowl. This way, you can keep an eye on how much your dough has risen. If you can't find a warm spot to prove the dough,...

Though each production is different, odds are at least one of these two will become your new best friend. They definitely have expectations for the production and for you, so start off on the right foot by asking what those are! Are there any duties they want to do themselves? Some directors like to take things into their own hands. How do they want rehearsals run? Do they have any specific guidelines you should be aware of? And be sure to establish a routine where you two or three can check-in with each other post-rehearsal. Months before rehearsals begin, you'll need to start scheduling and coordinating. A good stage manager can take in all of the scheduling needs from the director, music director, vocal director, choreographer, fight choreographer, dialect coach, movement coach, production manager, costume designer, etc. and reasonably accommodate everyone's needs in a timely manner.  Basically the stage manager is a miracle worker. You'll need to come up with the following:   Contact sheet Rehearsal schedule Email lists Conflict calendar Production calendar Daily Reports Properties List (keep updated) Set Design communicated to all staff (keep updated) Furniture and Set Decoration list (keep updated) Costume plot (keep updated) Set dates for production meetings. And this is just the paperwork prior to the run... He or she is probably the one that'll give you a set of keys. How else will you be able to do your job? Talk with them about what they see as the biggest obstacles in the show and what you should know about the set up of that specific theatre.  Take a thorough walk around the theatre, familiarizing yourself with everything from emergency exits to the most convenient trash can. This theatre will be home for the next few months -- the quicker you get to know it, the easier your job will be. Since you're basically Anne Sullivan and the show is Helen Keller, you need to be prepared for anything. When anything goes wrong, even the director won't be the one everyone turns to: it'll be you. So stock your...

If you do not enjoy eating iron-rich foods (or on days when you're just too busy) another option is to take iron supplements. Iron supplements are inexpensive and safe. Avoid taking high-dose iron supplements if you aren’t anemic since too much could damage vital organs. Unfortunately, iron supplements can have negative side-effects. Some of these are mild, and may go away as your body gets used to the medicine. Other side-effects (though less common) may be serious and should prompt you to seek medical care. Of course, if any side-effect is bothersome, or if you have questions, contact your doctor right away.  Side-effects that do not usually need medical attention include:  Constipation Diarrhea or vomiting Leg cramps Dark urine Stained teeth Heartburn   Side-effects that should prompt medical attention include:  Backache or muscle pain Severe nausea or vomiting Metallic taste Dizziness or fainting Pain, numbness, or tingling in hands and feet Fast heartbeat Severe headache Flushed skin Rash or hives Trouble breathing Swelling of mouth and throat Whether it is consumed in food form or by way of supplements, vitamin B-6 is a necessary companion for iron. Whenever you take iron supplements, pair these with a supplement of vitamin B-6. If you take calcium supplements, be sure that you do not take more than the recommended daily amount. A surplus of calcium in your system can make it more difficult for your body to absorb iron.

TL;DR in English: Take iron supplements. Beware of side-effects. Supplement vitamin B-6. Avoid taking too much calcium.

The lipstick base makes up the majority of the substance, and you customize it by adding pigments. The ingredients you use to make your lipstick base can be tweaked to make the lipstick more glossy, matte, or balm-like. Here's what you need:  1 teaspoon (5 ml) beeswax or beeswax beads. You can find beeswax at craft supply stores. 1 teaspoon (5 ml) shea butter, mango butter, almond butter, or avocado butter. This helps the lipstick roll on smoothly! 1 teaspoon (5 ml) oil, such as almond oil, extra virgin olive oil, or jojoba oil or oil of soya Now that you've got your base supplies, the next step is to pick out a color. There are many natural substances that can be used to create a variety of red, pink, brown, and orange hues. Remember that this lipstick recipe is natural, so the colors you'll look subtle and earth-toned. Consider these options:  For a bright red lipstick, use beetroot powder or crushed beet chips. Cinnamon can be used to achieve a reddish-brown color. Turmeric can be mixed with other powders to make the shade more coppery. Cocoa powder gives lipstick a deep brown hue. Put the lipstick base ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Place it in the microwave and heat the ingredients in 30-second increments until they are melted. Stir the ingredients well to make sure they are thoroughly incorporated. Note that you can also melt the ingredients in a double-boiler. Heat roughly 2 inches (5 cm) of water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the ingredients to a smaller pan sitting inside the first. Stir and heat until everything melts and blends together.

TL;DR in English: Get lipstick base supplies. Choose a lipstick color. Melt the base ingredients together.

You need to soak quinoa for an extended period of time before you do anything else.  Make sure you add enough water so that the quinoa seeds are fully submerged. The temperature should be no warmer than 70 degrees F (21 degrees C). Allow the quinoa to soak for up to 30 minutes. There’s no harm in leaving them in there a little bit longer, but try not to forget them and leave them in the dish the whole night. This may weaken and dissolve some of the quinoa grains. Carefully drain the excess water from the sprouter or bowl over the sink. The quinoa should remain in the bowl or the sprouter. One good way to do this is by playing the edge of a spatula in front of the quinoa seeds. The water will still pour around the edges but the quinoa will remain in place inside the bowl. If necessary, use a strainer. However, it’s simpler just to keep the quinoa in the bowl. It’s okay if a little extra water is left behind as long as it isn’t too much.

If you don't already have a pair of high-quality clippers, you can purchase a pair costing between $20 and $120 online. Before you start buzzing, make sure the guard is securely fastened to the clippers. Otherwise, you could end up with a bald spot if it falls off while in use.  Many clippers will come as a kit, including not only the clippers but the charging station, guards, combs, and barber scissors. Keep your clipper well-oiled so it lasts longer. If your clipper didn't come with oil, you can buy some online or at your local department store. Once you think you’ve finished, use a mirror to inspect the haircut closely. Make sure everything is even and you didn’t miss any spots. If you did miss a spot or need to do a touch up, choose the correct size guard and fix it to ensure the cut is even.

An unhealthy snake won't want to eat. If you suspect your snake is sick, take it to the vet to have it checked out before you try feeding it again. Also, make sure the cage fits the snake's environmental needs. If it doesn't, it may not want to eat.  Look for changes in behavior, which can indicate your snake is sick. Lethargy, skin changes, mouth discharge, diarrhea, vomit, swelling, and weight loss can all indicate sickness.  If you aren't providing the right temperature gradients for your snake, it won't want to eat. Place the rodent in an empty plastic container with air holes. Move the snake into the container and let it find the rodent. Once the snake has eaten the rodent, move it back into its main cage.  Placing the snake and rodent in an empty container removes other distractions and helps the snake focus on the rodent. Some snakes don't like being handled before being fed, so it's really just trial and error to see if that helps. Spray a gentle mist on the snake and rodent. It will encourage the snake to move around. Plus, it will make the rodent smell a little more so the snake will want to come after it. Start by washing the thawed prey in warm water and drying it. Place it in a sealed container with the thing you want to get the scent of, for example a dead frog or a bird feather. It won’t take long for the smell to transfer. You can scent frozen prey with bedding that smells like other animals. For example, gerbil bedding can be a good choice to scent prey for stubborn ball pythons. Don’t rub animal droppings onto the prey because this can transfer bacteria. Present the scented prey to the snake the same way you normally would.

TL;DR in English: Ensure the snake is healthy and happy. Try putting the snake in an empty container with the rodent. Spray the rodent and snake with warm water to encourage activity. Disguise the prey with a more appealing scent.

Telling your mom in person can be scary, and if you don’t feel confident doing that, you can always tell her with a note. That way, she can initiate the conversation with you next time you’re alone together. Leave the note somewhere private that she’ll definitely find it, like in her purse. Notes can be long and complicated, or short and sweet, like:  “Hey Mom, I got my period today! Maybe we can get supplies at the drug store later? I love you.” “I got my period. Could you please bring home some pads/tampons? Thanks!” You can still kind of tell your mom in person by doing it over the phone if you really don’t feel comfortable telling her face to face. Use the same techniques and tactics that you would if you were telling her in person, or you can say something like:  “I’ll be home in an hour, and maybe we can talk for a few minutes, because I got my period.” “I’ll be home later than normal because I’m stopping at the drug store for some tampons.” “Can we have chocolate cake for dessert? I’ve really been craving it since I got my period!” Another way to let your mom know what’s going on with you is by sending a text. It’s not the most personal way, but it’ll get the job done! You can use similar phrasing as if you were writing her a more personal letter, such as saying:  “Just wanted to let you know I got my period. See you at home later!” “Can we talk later? I've started my period.” “Are you going shopping soon? I got my period and need some supplies.”

When they do start to open up to you about deeper things going on in their lives, remember to listen lovingly and without judgement. At the same time, don’t expect them to tell you everything. Respect their space, privacy, and independence and trust that you can have a strong relationship without knowing every aspect of their lives. Express your willingness to listen by saying something like “David, I want you to know that I love you unconditionally and am always here to support and listen to any problems you might be having. Even if you know I won’t like what you’re saying, I want you to know I’m here to listen without judgement.” Whether it’s a conversation about school, relationships, politics, or the weather, talking with your children is an important part of being a cool mom. Talking to your children is not always easy, particularly at the difficult ages, such as during the teen years. However, making an effort to communicate and listen to your children’s thoughts, feelings, and opinions will have a last impact on your relationship with him or her and your status as a cool mom. Ask your children questions. For example “What was the best part about school today?” or “How did it make you feel when Jan didn’t invite your other friends to her birthday party?” or “Does it make you upset when your boyfriend is late to pick you up for a date?” are ways to get a conversation started. Once the conversation is started, you might get more insight into your children’s feelings and opinions than you thought possible. Particularly if your children approach you with an important or sensitive issue, they deserve all of your attention. For example, it is really important that in our technological age, you put your phone down when talking to your children Show them that they are your first priority.  Turn off the radio or the television. It is difficult to give someone your full attention if there are other distractions around you. Don’t interrupt.

You may write the treatment for a producer, director, or even an actor. Because of this, write it for that person. Adjust the content and the way you present it based on who it is for. Also adjust based on if you know the reader personally or not.  For a director, you might focus more on the way each scene looks and what set pieces are involved. If you’re writing for an actor you’d like to play a role, give more attention to their role than to the other characters. No matter what genre you’re writing the treatment for, it has to hit the reader with some real emotion. Make them feel fear, sadness, or joy by the way you describe the characters and the story. This is the hook that forces the reader to connect with the story.  Don’t present something that is different from your script. Use the emotion that is part of the story and bring it out in the treatment. Convey emotion by showing how characters react. Write, "He turned his face away," which shows he is ashamed or hiding something. Describe a character looking at a photo for just a few seconds before they start crying. Have a woman brush off a man's touch, a kid step back as their mother reaches toward them, or a man look in the mirror and shrug. Your treatment should read as the audience will see it. Describe everything as it happens, not as if it has happened already or will happen. This can be tricky, because it’s not always your first instinct. Check your writing over for tense shifts. For example, write, “Devon walks to the door hesitantly and looks through the peephole.” Don’t write, “She stopped and thought about her day,” because that shifts to past tense. Describe the movie in a similar way to how people will feel during it. If your goal is for the film audience to be scared, make the treatment instill fear. Make the reader laugh if you're pitching a comedy. Important aspects of the genre are important in the treatment, too. Keeping tropes of the genre in mind is important. Use them purposefully when you must, but don't rely on them.

TL;DR in English: Write for your audience. Make the treatment connect emotionally. Write the story in present tense. Reflect the script's genre in your treatment.

Peak sunlight hours occur when the sun is the highest in the sky and locations closer to the Equator get more peak sun hours than those further away. Look online to see how many peak sunlight hours your area has. Once you determine the peak hours in your area, check your property for places that aren’t covered by shade during the day since solar panels can’t generate electricity if they aren’t exposed to sunlight.  Look for solar power companies near you and schedule a consultation. Solar power companies can look at your home and property to determine how efficient solar panels would be.

While one spot may have sunlight in the morning, it may be covered by the shadow of a tree or a different home later on. of solar panel that works best for you. The 3 main types of solar panels are monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin film. Monocrystalline panels are the most recognizable types and have about 20% efficiency. They take up the least amount of space, but they are the most expensive. Polycrystalline panels are more affordable, but they only have about 16% efficiency and don’t work well in higher temperatures since they have a low heat tolerance. Thin film panels are flexible and the cheapest option, but they are the least efficient at 7-13% and they take up the most space.

Keep in mind that a glove’s construction can vary by brand and model. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding washing. Expect some to be machine-washable, while others should be hand-washed only. If in doubt, always hand-wash. Keep in mind that the outside of a garment experiences a harsher ride through a wash cycle then its inside. Protect the grips to your glove by turning them inside out. Reduce the chance of damage that might come from snags, tears, or wear. Expect top-loading washers to have a rougher cycle than front-loading machines. If your machine loads from the top, protect your gloves further by placing them inside a pillowcase or something similar and then tying it shut. Front-loaders’ cycles should be softer on your gloves, but err on the side of caution if inclined and bag them anyway. Be aware that heat can damage your gloves’ components, depending on the material used. Set the temperature to “cold” for both your wash and rinse cycles. Then select “delicate wash cycle” for the gentlest wash. Add a mild laundry detergent to the washer as it fills. Run your cycle. Once it’s completed, lay the gloves flat on a surface or hang them on a drying rack or clothesline. Don’t use the dryer, since its heat will likely damage the grips and/or other components.

Asylum is a benefit offered to refugees who are fleeing persecution in their home countries. If you win asylum, you can stay in the United States and eventually apply to become a permanent legal resident by getting a "green card," known more formally as a United States Permanent Resident card.  Asylum applications can be “defensive” or “affirmative.” A defensive asylum application is one made when you are in removal proceedings in the U.S., either because you are attempting to enter the country without proper papers or because you broke an immigration law when inside the country and are about to be deported. Affirmative asylum applications are ones you file when not in removal proceedings. In order to apply for asylum, you typically need be physically present in the United States. . You must also have suffered from (or fear that you will suffer from) persecution in your home country. This persecution must be shown to be based on at least one of the following personal attributes:  race religion nationality membership in a particular social group political opinion In affirmative asylum applications, you can include your spouse and any unmarried children under the age of 21.  Any other children must apply for asylum on his or her own. There are several bars to winning asylum in the United States. Many of these involve criminal activity undertaken either in the United States or elsewhere. For example, if you participated in the persecution of any person on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular group, you would be ineligible for asylum.  Other bars include:  a conviction for a serious crime (which includes aggravated felonies) the commission of a serious, nonpolitical crime outside the United States your posing a danger to the security of the U.S. your being already firmly resettled in another country before arriving in the U.S. You must make an application for asylum within one year of arriving in the United States.

After you rinse or wash your suit, leave it inside out to dry. It’s important to let the inside of the suit dry to avoid any odors or mildew from building up. Drying the inside also lengthens the life of the wetsuit. Slide the top of the wetsuit through a heavy, plastic hanger so that it folds in half near the waist, rather than hanging it by the neck or shoulders. Hang it indoors, such as on your shower rod, while it dries. If you must hang it outdoors, make sure it stays shaded, as direct sunlight degrades the fabric. Once the inside of your suit is dry, turn the suit right-side out. Use the same method as before to hang the suit over a plastic hanger. Allow it to dry completely, indoors and away from the sun.

If you drink alcohol, over time you will become increasingly tolerant to the drug and may even become dependent. However, by being smart about your drinking and doing so in moderation, you can enjoy alcohol without developing a dependence.  Alcohol tolerance is when your body adapts to drinking a specific amount of alcohol, including one beer or one glass of wine.  Dependence is the consistent and compulsive consumption of alcohol and needing to drink to function. Figure out what your current tolerance level is. This may help you avoid drinking too much and developing alcohol poisoning. Gauge your tolerance based on how much you currently drink. For example, if you don’t drink or only have a couple of drinks a week, your tolerance may be comparatively low. If you drink more, your tolerance may be accordingly higher. Drink alcoholic beverages by following sensible consumption guidelines. This can help you minimize the risk of becoming dependent or getting alcohol poisoning.  Women should have no more than 2-3 units of alcohol daily.  Men should have no more than 3-4 units of alcohol daily.  Alcohol units are based on the percentage alcohol in a beverage and the amount of alcohol consumed. For reference, a bottle of wine has 9-10 units.  Go slowly if you’re enjoying an extra drink or two within the guidelines. For example, consume only one additional drink than you normally would. If you never drink, have one, or even a half of, an alcoholic beverage. For one glass of wine or one spirit, have one and a half or two drinks. Drink water while you drink alcohol, as it mitigates the reflexive "drink while others drink" influence and hydrates as you go. Be aware of how much alcohol you’ve consumed and stop early if you are unsure of the amount you had. This can help prevent you getting drunk or alcohol poisoning, or possibly worse. You may want to set a time at which you will stop drinking in the evening. For instance, you may decide that you won't drink alcohol past midnight when you go out. Consider having at least...

Making sure these are all in balance protects the pool from corrosion or scale buildup that can occur over the winter while the pool is shut down. These adjustments should be made about five days before you completely close down the pool.  Adjust the pH to a level between 7.2 and 7.6. Adjust the alkalinity to 80 to 120 ppm (parts per million). Adjust the calcium hardness to 180 to 220 ppm or higher according to product instructions for protecting a plaster pool to lessen minerals dissolving and leeching out. . Use an extra strong chlorine or a non-chlorine substitute to kill bacteria, some of the fungi and algae that may be living in the pool. Buy a shock product with at least 65 percent sodium hypochlorite or a non-chlorine substitute of equivalent strength. Fill a five-gallon bucket with pool water, add the instructed amount of shock granules for the size of pool, and pour it into the pool away from the pool skimmer water outlets while the filtration system is running. If you typically use a shock product/mix that is safe for people to swim in right away, it's probably not strong enough to kill all the bacteria in your pool. Since you're closing the pool down, use the instructed stronger shock treatment.  Algaecide kills existing algae and prevents more from blooming. Algae can cause the pool to become discolored, give it a bad smell and clog the filter; so, it's important to treat your pool with algaecide before shutting it down.  Make sure the chlorine level has returned to 1 to 3 ppm before adding algaecide. Otherwise, the chlorine will render the algaecide ineffective. Buy an extra-strength algaecide. Use one meant to be used to overwinter a pool, rather than one you add to your pool on an ongoing basis while it's in use. The stronger algaecide is meant to prevent algae from blooming all winter long.

The heat from the boiling water will instantly destroy microbial bugs on durable, hard-to-clean items. Boiling is a good way to thoroughly disinfect solid, one-piece objects that aren’t easily broken, such as toothbrushes, combs, drinking containers and just about anything made out of plastic or glass. Using a pair of tongs or a strainer, lower the tainted object into the boiling water. The item will need to stay immersed for 1-20 minutes, depending on the size and material—any longer and it may be in danger of being warped by the heat. Whisk the item through the water to flush away bacteria concentrated on the surface.  Make sure you have a way of protecting your hands from the heat. Consider taking the precaution of wearing a pair of dish gloves or oven mitts, even if you’re using tongs. Leaving plastic and fragile metal items submerged in boiling water for too long could cause them to melt. Pull the infected item out of the pot and give it a shake to remove excess water. Wrap the item in a clean, dry towel, then leave it out to air dry. Once the remaining moisture has evaporated, it should be as good as new. If the item has a lid or cover, leave it off to allow airflow and prevent mildew from forming inside.

TL;DR in English: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Submerge the infected item. Set the item aside to dry.

Do this as a protective measure before you begin scooping ashes out of the stove, as they are liable to drop onto the ground. A newspaper will make cleanup much easier. As you’re spreading the newspaper, open the air dampener so that any ash stuck to it will fall into the firebox. The air dampener will be a small knob on the front of the cast iron stove, that you should pull outward to open. If the stove is still warm, use a piece of hooked metal to pull the air dampener open. Open the glass door on the front of the cast iron stove and, using your metal ash shovel, scoop up all of the leftover ash inside of the stove. Place the shovelfuls of ash into a metal ash bucket. Be meticulous when cleaning the ashes out of the stove; you’ll be able to start your next fire much more easily if there are no leftover ashes in the firebox. Before you begin scooping up the ashes, make sure that the fire is completely out, and there are no live coals. If there are still any red-hot coals, wait for them to cool and go out before shoveling them up. After you’ve finished shoveling the ashes out of the firebox, place the lid back on the ash can. Set the can on a non-flammable surface, like brick or tile. It’s important to let the ash can sit for at least 48 hours before you dispose of the ashes, in case there are still any live coals in the ash.  It’s important to keep the can covered, as a slight breeze could lift ash and soot from the can and send it flying through your house. Once you’ve tossed the ashes, you can also pick up the newspapers that you initially spread on the carpet. Be careful not to spill any ash on the floor. Throw the newspapers away. When the ash bucket is full (after you’ve shoveled out the fire box several times), you’ll need to dispose of the ashes and empty the bucket. If you live in a rural area, you can simply walk a few hundred feet from your house and spread the ashes out on the ground. Alternately, if you have a compost pile or a garden, toss the ashes on top of the soil. If it’s windy outside,...

TL;DR in English: Place an old newspaper on the ground in front of the stove. Scoop the ashes out of the fire box. Cover the ash can. Dispose of the ashes.

If you've already traveled into the Eurozone, you're in luck — it's not usually hard to get your hands on Euros. For example, most European banks will sell Euros to non-citizens at very reasonable rates. Best of all, most banks in major European cities will have at least some staff members that speak English. If you're not comfortable awkwardly asking for an English speaker, you can always use the ATM (see below for more information).  Exchange rates at European banks tend to be quite good. Many banks will not charge a transaction fee for the service (though some will). Note that the hours of operation for banks in Europe can be different than they are abroad. Banking holidays will also vary from country to country. If possible, check when the bank is open online before making your trip. You can also buy Euros at most major banks in the UK, Canada, Australia, and the US. This is handy if you want to have a small amount of European currency in your wallet when you step off the plane. Some traveler's guides strongly recommend this. Others, however, favor buying Euros in Europe to avoid the risk of traveling with large amounts of currency. Fees at banks in the English-speaking world can vary from place to place and based on whether or not you have an account. Anecdotally, American banks are said to have less-favorable dollar-to-euro exchange rates than their European counterparts. Believe it or not, many European post offices (especially in major cities) will have small "mini-banks" inside that will be able to change your money from your home country's currency to euros. Not all post offices will have these mini-banks, but the ones that do are claimed to have some of the best exchange rates available. Even some post offices in the English-speaking world will have small banks or exchange bureaus available to exchange your currency. This is by no means guaranteed, however, so check online or via phone before visiting if possible. Since busy airports are host to thousands (sometimes millions) of passengers from...

TL;DR in English:


See your doctor if diarrhea is a common problem for you. Ask your doctor about antibiotics. Try taking over-the-counter medications. Consider taking herbal remedies.

This might be the worst type of “compliment” there is. A backhanded compliment is one that sounds really nice at first, but then the real meaning of the statement hits. It’s a passive-aggressive way to really hurt a person’s feelings. It’s possible to deliver a backhanded compliment without even knowing you’re doing it.  For example, you might say something like, “Wow, I really like your hair today. What’s different?” By saying this, you’re implying that you don’t like the person’s hair very much on other days. Or you might say, “You’re amazing at baseball, for a girl.” Attaching a qualifier to the end of your compliment turns it into an insult. Yelling a “compliment” at someone walking down the street is actually highly insulting. The point of a compliment is to make someone feel good, and yelling about someone’s physical features is likely to do just the opposite. Even if some people say they like being cat called, not everyone does — not by a long shot. If you really want to make someone feel good, even a stranger, don’t yell something in passing. The same rules apply to giving compliments to a stranger and giving compliments to someone you know: you need to find something sincere to say and deliver your compliment respectfully. You probably already know what these are, and you’d probably never say them to someone. Even if you have a huge crush on someone and you want to ask her out — actually, especially if you want to ask someone out — don’t try to compliment someone on a sexual body part. It’s just rude, and in certain settings this type of comment can be construed as sexual harassment. Keep your compliments polite!

TL;DR in English: Avoid backhanded compliments. Don’t mistake a cat call for a compliment. Avoid demeaning comments.

With a clean microfiber cloth, wipe down the surface that you just sanded. This will remove sanding and metal dust, as well as leftover polishing compound or water. Even when you're cleaning, it’s important to rub and buff in the direction of the grain. Look closely at the metal to determine what direction the surfaces runs in, and make sure you rub and clean in that same direction. Transfer some vinegar to a spray bottle. Spray the surface of the metal with several sprays of vinegar. Use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe the metal.  The vinegar will clean the surface of the metal and remove all traces of other compounds and cleaners. Do not use bleach, oven cleaner, abrasive cleaners, or abrasive pads when cleaning stainless steel. When the stainless steel is clean and dry, apply a few drops of oil to a clean microfiber cloth. You can use mineral oil, vegetable oil, or even olive oil. Rub the cloth against the steel, in the direction of the grain, to polish the metal. Add more oil as necessary. Continue rubbing until the entire surface has been polished.

TL;DR in English: Wipe the surface to remove dust. Clean the entire surface with vinegar. Polish the steel.

The occasional bout of diarrhea is normal, but there may be a problem if you experience diarrhea on a regular basis. Talk to your doctor if you:  have has diarrhea for more than two days are having severe pain in your abdomen or rectum are dehydrated have a fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit or higher notice blood or pus in your stools or stools that are black and tarry looking Antibiotics can both trigger and help prevent diarrhea, depending on the cause. On the one hand, over-use of antibiotics can kill off the "friendly" bacteria in your large intestine, which creates imbalances and digestive problems that often lead to diarrhea. On the other hand, if you have a bacterial infection that's impacting your GI system and triggering chronic diarrhea, then short-term use of antibiotics can be helpful in helping you fight the infection. Antibiotic use is a thin line to walk when it comes to preventing or causing diarrhea, so follow your doctor's instructions carefully.  Food poisoning usually resolves itself within a few days (a week at the most), so antibiotics are typically not prescribed unless a person has a weakened immune system. If responsible antibiotic use is still triggering diarrhea, then consider supplementing with probiotic supplements (containing strains of healthy bacteria normally found in your large intestine) while you're on the medication and even continuing for a week afterwards.  Other medications that commonly trigger diarrhea include laxatives, blood pressure drugs, chemotherapy, weight loss drugs and antacids (those containing magnesium). Over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medications, such as loperamide (Imodium A-D) and bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol, Kaopectate), may help reduce the incidence of or outright prevent diarrhea, although they are not recommended for infants and children. Loperamide combats diarrhea by slowing down how fast food and liquid move through your intestines, which allows more water to be absorbed and more solid stool to form. Bismuth subsalicylate works by directly...

One option would be to build and mount your panels on a cart. This would place the panel at an angle but allow you to change which direction the panel faces in order to increase the amount of sun it gets in a day. This will, however, require you to adjust the panel 2-3 times a day. This is a popular way to mount the panels because they tend to receive the most sunlight and are out of the way. However, the angle will need to be consistent with the sun’s path and your peak load time. This will limit you to only getting full exposure at certain times of day. This option is best if you have a large number of panels and very little ground space to place them on. The stands usually used to mount satellite dishes can also be used to mount solar panels. They can even be programmed to move with the sun. However, this option will only work if you have a very small number of solar panels.

Make sure that your makeup is as light as possible.

Consider a makeup primer. Skip foundation. Conceal where needed. Set your face with powder.

The first step in finding yourself a family doctor is to research which doctors in your area are accepting new patients. Depending upon your location, this may be a hard task or an easy task. It depends on the amount of doctors practicing there compared to the amount of patients looking to find a family physician. You may have plenty of options available, or you may struggle to find a family physician who is currently accepting new patients. You can look on the Internet to research family doctors who are accepting new patients in your area. You should be able to find out by making a simple call to the receptionist at the doctor's office whether the physician's office hours work for you, as well as to confirm that your insurance is valid at the practice. Different clinics are operated in different ways, and it is important to find one that works well with your schedule and lifestyle. If you are seeking a new family doctor because you do not feel that the relationship with your current doctor meets the standards you are hoping for, it is important to actively seek out the qualities you are looking for. Many family doctors will offer a first appointment as a "meet and greet," which gives both you and the doctor a chance to connect and to see if the two of you will be a good fit for a professional healthcare relationship moving forwards.  During this initial visit, you can bring up the aspects of a doctor-patient relationship that are important to you. You can use this visit to assess whether or not the new doctor is likely to be a good fit for you.

TL;DR in English: Research doctors in your area who are accepting new patients. Consider whether that physician's schedule is a good fit for you. Empower yourself to seek out the qualities you are looking for.

Makeup primers provide light coverage and help your makeup last longer throughout the day. You can even opt for a primer that includes a moisturizer, which allows you to skip applying a moisturizer in the morning! Apply a dot of primer to your nose, then start to blend outward. Add more primer as needed to cover your entire face. When you’re going for a natural makeup look that you can wear to school, heavy foundation is a big no-no. If you feel like your skin still needs more coverage than a concealer can provide, use a makeup primer, light tinted moisturizer, or BB cream to even out your skin tone. Apply it with clean fingers to keep the coverage light.  Make sure that your tinted moisturizer or BB cream is oil-free so it’s less likely to clog your pores. If your skin is extremely oily, you may want to skip a general moisturizer and just use a tinted version so you can moisturize and even out your complexion in one step. While tinted moisturizers and BB creams are usually more sheer than traditional foundations, it’s still important to choose a shade that matches your skin tone. Test it by blending a small amount across your cheek, and checking it in natural light to see if it’s a match. Even if you’re using a sheer tinted moisturizer or BB cream, make sure to blend it over your jawline and down onto your neck. You don’t want to wind up with a line across your jaw where your makeup ends. It’s common for pre-teens and teens to have breakouts, so you may have some spots that you want to conceal. Dab concealer just on those spots, and blend it with a clean finger or concealer brush.  Make sure to choose a concealer that matches your skin tone as closely as possible. Otherwise, you’ll only wind up drawing attention to the areas that you’re trying to hide. As with your moisturizer, choose a concealer that’s oil-free. If you have acne, you may also want to look for one that contains acne-fighting ingredients, such as salicylic acid, to help fight the breakout while concealing it. If you’re using a stick concealer...

With Counter-Strike, it’s possible to set up and host a private server that will only be accessible to you and the friends and family you choose. To invite friends to play with you on this server, you will need to provide them with your IP address. You need your public IP address, not your local one. Your best bet to find this is using a website, such as What’s My IP, that will tell you your public IP address. When you downloaded Counter-Strike, it will have created a file on your computer containing all the information it needs to run. Open the file location (it may be under downloads if it’s nowhere else) and open the file entitled "hlds" (all lowercase). This will launch the Start Dedicated Server module. Under Game, set the game to Counter-Strike. Choose your map. Under Network, select Internet for an online game or LAN for an offline game. Click Start Server. From there, you will be able to add the friends and family that you want to invite to play on this server. Give them your IP address.  For your friends to join, they will have to connect to your server by typing Connect and your IP address into their consoles. For instance, if your IP address is 12.34.567.89, they would type Connect 12.34.567.89.  If you or any of your friends have trouble connecting, you may need to shut off your firewall.

You don’t have to spend a fortune to have great hair. Wash your hair every 1-2 days, have it trimmed regularly by a professional, and use a deep-conditioning treatment once a month if your hair feels dry. Choose simple hairstyles, like a bun or down in loose waves. Teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep every night. Getting enough sleep will make your skin look bright and fresh and will keep you from having dark circles under your eyes. Having good skin will help you look more wealthy. Rich people often have a pearly white smile. Get the same look by making a priority out of your oral health. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss every day, and use mouthwash to keep your breath fresh.  Rich teenagers can afford to have their teeth professionally whitened, but you can get the same look by whitening your teeth at home. Use white strips once a week, plus brush daily with a whitening toothpaste for a pearly-white smile.  If your teeth are very sensitive or have decay, you should not use whiteners. Try adding baking soda to your toothbrush when you brush your teeth instead. A light spritz of perfume or cologne can make you smell nice all day. However, too much of a scent can be overwhelming to other people, and can even cause them to have headaches. Keep moderation in mind when you apply a fragrance. Dirty, jagged fingernails are a sign of poor hygiene. Luckily, you don't have to get a manicure once a week to have nice nails. Wash beneath your fingernails when you take a shower, and keep them clipped or filed neatly. If you polish them, choose neutral shades and reapply the polish when it starts to chip. Rich teenagers usually don’t wear a ton of makeup. Keep it simple with a moisturizing foundation, mascara, blush, and a neutral lipstick or lip gloss. It’s okay to experiment with different makeup looks to find what looks best on you, but your focus should be on simplicity.

TL;DR in English: Keep your hair neat. Get 8-10 hours of sleep every night. Make a habit out of good dental hygiene. Spritz on a little perfume or cologne before you leave the house. Keep your fingernails neat. Apply light makeup if you wear it at all.

Cold compresses can help reduce pain and inflammation around the affected area. Don’t place ice or the cold compress directly on your skin. Instead, wrap it in a cloth to protect your skin from burn. Leave it on your skin for around 10 minutes. Place it on your perineal area every couple of hours. If the tear is causing you pain, try an over-the-counter pain reliever. Acetaminophen such as Tylenol, ibuprofen such as Advil, and NSAIDs like Aleve can help reduce your pain and discomfort. Make sure to read the label and take the medication only as directed. A sitz bath is one in which you rest your bottom in the water. It can help both heal the vaginal tears and relieve pain. Sit in warm water for up 10 minutes. Afterwards, pat yourself dry with a clean towel. You may try using some natural healing oils on the external skin of your vagina. Try a small dab of aloe vera gel, vitamin E oil, or non-antibacterial soothing oil. Don’t use antibacterial creams on your vagina because it will upset the balance of natural good bacteria. Vaginal tears can start to itch when they heal. Tears can also make that area tender or dry. If you experience this, you can take an oatmeal bath. Fill a tub with warm water and oatmeal. Relax in the bath water while the oatmeal helps relieve the itching and inflammation.
