Find a pool with ankle- to knee-deep water. Walk through the water. Start marching laps. Walk sideways for several laps. Do forward lunges. Try side lunges. Continue for as long as you feel okay walking in the water. Shoot for 30 to 45 minutes sessions each time.

Cunning people perceive things that others miss. They see life’s hidden machinery - the real motives that drive interactions, rather than the stated motives. The first, most important step to seeing things as they actually are is to always get as much information as possible before making your decisions. This can be as simple as taking the time to look around before dropping an anonymous love note into someone’s locker so that you don’t get spotted or as complex and involved as doing hours of research on the person you’re about to interview so that you can surprise him with particularly biting questions. When approaching all major decisions, keep your eyes peeled and have a voracious thirst for more information. You can never be too well-informed. Cunning people are renowned for their ability to see through others’ facades. Almost everyone tells white lies on a daily basis - it’s perfectly natural. A cunning person sees a person’s true intentions - he does this because he’s able to “read” people and also because he’s done his homework (see above.) Never assume someone’s telling you the truth until you have supporting evidence. However, it's also not wise to instantly assume everyone is lying. Use the information available to you to make your best guess at someone’s true motivation. Try to build your ability to read others’ faces. Most people are good liars, but not great ones. With practice, you may find that you’re able to notice when the emotion on a person’s face doesn’t match with what he or she is saying.    Cunning people never balk at the prospect of closely scrutinizing people and things for small details that may be manipulated for their benefit. Try to be a stickler for details, within reason. For instance, read every line of your contract rather than glossing over the entire thing. If you pay attention to life’s details, you’ll find yourself better-equipped to exploit opportunities when they present themselves. Paying attention to details isn’t only useful for grim, serious purposes. If you’re in a...

TL;DR in English: Always seek more information. Question others’ motives. Look for small details. Be alert. Take an objective point of view. Make note of others’ strengths and weaknesses.

For lots of people, the teenage years are full of worries—stop paying so much attention to them! Many worries are based on what other people think (e.g., "What if they don't like me after this?" or "What if my mom gets mad that I don't study medicine like she wants?"), rather than what you think. Go ahead and do what you want to do, without factoring in the opinion of others; dye your hair a wacky color, wear what's comfortable and not what's trendy, call your crush, choose your own path in life, and don't worry about what others think of your choices! At the end of the day, it's your life, so live it the way you want to.  Of course, there are some limits to this. You may want to speak your mind, for example, and it's okay to have your opinions, but you don't want to offend people or start an argument in an inappropriate place. Some social rules, such as not hitting annoying people, are important to follow. Learn when it's important to listen to social rules, and not what you think. When you were younger, people always told you to find hobbies, and chances are, you have at least a few basic interests that you can engage in. Use these to your advantage. Can you pick something you want to practice and dedicate more time towards (e.g., playing an instrument), or delve into a subcategory of your interest (for example, moving from simple writing to writing poetry or literature)? Don't be afraid to try new things. It's never too late to check out a new interest, and, who knows, maybe you'll even find your life passion by doing so!   Consider "balancing" your interests so that you have a wide variety. For example, if your biggest hobby is computer programming, maybe try a more art-oriented hobby like painting, or learn a language. Just because you're a "tech nerd" or an "art geek" doesn't mean your interests have to stick firmly in that area. It's boring to have interests that are only in one area. Explore your style and your interests. Now is the time to experiment; don't feel the need to stick to just one niche....

TL;DR in English: Develop your sense of self, focusing more on your own thoughts and goals, instead of what other people think. Discover and engage in your interests. Let go of your prejudices. Work on your work ethic. Avoid rushing to figure out who you are.

This might be the children's pool, or it could just be the shallow end of a local, regular pool. Start with ankle-deep water and, as you feel more confident, move to water that is knee-deep. This is ideal for those who are rehabilitating from illness, for pregnant women, and for anyone who feels that exercise might be too strenuous or cause injury after a period of inactivity. Make sure you are walking heel to toe, rather than just on your toes. The buoyancy of the water can make it harder to complete a normal stride. You may need to focus on foot placement when you first begin. Try to maintain your normal stride, and notice the resistance that the water provides. Walk through the water and bring your knees up high with each step. Swing your arms to propel your body if the movement seems difficult. Try to bring your legs up as high as they will comfortably go with each step, working hard to pull them back to the bottom of the pool. The real resistance in this movement lies in the hamstrings and glutes working against buoyancy. Turn sideways in the water and move your legs directly sideways against the resistance of the water with each step. After several laps, turn around and lead with the opposite foot. This activity will help work the inner and outer muscles of your thighs, as well as your abdominal muscles. Step forward with one leg and bend your knee to a 90 degree angle. Keep your hands at your sides, straighten your front leg, and then lunge forward with the opposite leg. This is a great way to stretch and strengthen your leg muscles. Switch up your routine by doing side lunges. When you are walking sideways, bend your leading knee to a 90 degree angle, lean into the lunge, then raise your body and repeat. Make sure to do the same number of lunges on the opposite side for an even workout. The resistance of the water on your legs strengthens them, burns calories, and helps to build confidence for harder exercise stages. But don’t try to do too much at once. Push yourself as hard as you feel comfortable,...

Once you have a map, think about the way the ideas will fit into your paper. Label the bubbles according to the section of your paper they belong to. If you have to write a certain number of paragraphs, you can organize your bubbles into paragraphs. If you are thinking more about arguments and counterarguments, you can organize your map into those instead. Add details as you go. For instance, you may write some of the sources you are planning to use to the sections of your essay to which they apply. If you have gone through many revisions as you drew, and it's hard to read the map, redraw it with all associated ideas grouped together into the sections of your paper.  If you do this, you can start by drawing bubbles for the sections and continue by filling in the thoughts and associations. You can also organize your revised mind map into bubble for topic sentences that branch into smaller bubbles for supporting arguments and evidence. Once you've done this, you practically have a rough draft of your paper. Referring to your map, type up the main ideas and supporting ideas that you have now organized. Group them into several lines each, separated by a space. These will become the paragraphs or sections of your essay.  Start each paragraph with a sentence that introduces the ideas of that paragraph, and write until you have incorporated all the information for that section. If you end up adding things that weren't on your map, look at your map to check that they fit, and consider penciling them in. One of the virtues of the map is that it keeps you on topic. Make sure you're not cramming too many points from your mind map into a single paragraph.

Sometimes, you can't help, you can't say much, and you can't do much to make the situation better. If she got some really bad news, all you can do is to be there with her and to let her know she's not alone. If you had big plans that weekend, see if you can cancel them to spend some time with her; if she has something to do, ask if you can do it together. Sometimes all that you can do is offer your time and your loving presence. You can't just comfort her and say you have to go and fall off the radar for a few days, or she will feel unwanted. Let her know that she will be a priority for you. You may have other things on your mind, but you won't let her out of your reach. She may want to be alone after being upset, but if you can, try to get her out of the house as much as you can. Even if she doesn't feel like socializing, getting out into some fresh air is guaranteed to make her feel better and make her forget about her problems, if only for a little while. Here are some things that you can try:  Invite her to see a comedy. A lighthearted movie will make her laugh and feel better for a little while. Take her out to dinner or for coffee or ice cream. Just a simple treat will make her feel better. Plus, if she's upset, she may be forgetting to eat and take care of herself. Just don't take her out for a drink -- if she's upset, alcohol is not the solution. Take her out on a walk. Getting some light exercise and fresh air can help her clear her head and feel more centered. Don't invite her out to loud events with lots of people, or she'll feel overwhelmed and unable to deal. She may be feeling so overwhelmed that she can't deal with her daily life. So, bring her a cup of coffee or lunch when she needs it; offer to clean up her room if it's getting out of control; do her laundry if it's necessary. If she's upset in class and can't focus, take some notes for her. If she needs to put gas in her car, do it for her.

While you might be eager to get that first kiss, it's best to pick a time and location that will feel comfortable. Wait until you're alone with the person you want to kiss. Then, talk to them to make sure they're feeling comfortable and in a good mood.  For instance, it's a bad idea to kiss someone when they're in the middle of doing something or while they're upset. A good setting for your first kiss might be during a date or at a school dance. to set the mood for kissing. Smile at them and keep your arms open and at your sides so you don't seem closed off. Lightly touch them on their hand, arm, or upper thigh, if they're okay with it. Additionally, give them compliments, ask them questions about themself, and listen to what they have to say.  Watch how they're acting to see if they're flirting back. If they're looking into your eyes, smiling, keeping their body open, and talking a lot, then they're likely flirting with you. However, if you notice them pulling away, folding their arms, or looking down a lot, slow down and give them some space. No one wants to kiss dry, cracked lips. Be sure to slather on lip balm to keep your lips soft and kissable. Choose an unscented flavor because your date might not like scents.  Sticky lip gloss is often a turn off because it has a weird texture. Just use regular lip balm. If you normally wear lipstick, it's okay to wear it when you kiss someone. However, choose a lipstick that's long-wearing and less likely to rub off. Additionally, don't apply it right before the kiss. Bad breath is a big turn off, so be courteous to your kissing partner. Eat a breath mint or chew on a piece of mint gum several minutes before you try to kiss the person.  Choose sugar-free breath mints or gum because sugar can make bad breath worse. Carry a pack of mints or gum with you so you can freshen your breath as needed.

. Some behaviors like exercise can give you moderate protection against heart disease. Being physically active can lower your blood pressure, help to lower your cholesterol levels, and reduce your chance of having a heart attack or stroke. Doctors recommend that you aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise (i.e. walking, light aerobics) five times per week or 25 minutes of vigorous exercise (running, basketball, cycling) three days per week. In addition, they recommend moderate to intense strength training two days per week. Subtract 1 point if you are male or female and meet the recommended guidelines. Add 1 point if you do not. . Smoking is not only terrible for your lungs but also increases your chances of getting heart disease. Chemicals in tobacco directly damage heart muscle and blood vessels, while smoking in general promotes atherosclerosis, lowers HDL cholesterol, and raises blood pressure. Add 0 points if you are male or female and a non-smoker. Add 2 points if you are a smoker. Consider yourself a smoker if you have smoked even one cigarette, cigar, or pipe of tobacco in the previous month. Diet is another mildly protective factor against heart disease. Put simply, the foods that you eat can control blood pressure, diabetes, weight gain, and high cholesterol. For the best results, try to eat a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins like fish, chicken, and beans. Avoid sugars, refined carbohydrates, and red meat. Make sure to get plenty of fiber, as well. Soluble fiber, found in foods like oatmeal, is known to reduce “bad” cholesterol in the blood stream. The American Heart Association has heart healthy guidelines. Check these and subtract 1 point if you meet them (either male or female). Add one point if you do not.

Cut a large metal drum in half vertically with a jigsaw. Clean the inside of the half-drum with a degreasing soap. Cut a large rectangle of sheet metal to fit the curved interior of the drum. Cut two half circles to fit inside the ends of the drum. Attach the sheet metal to the inside of the drum. Paint the inside of the oven with a reflective paint rated for barbecues. Create a metal lip with flashing around three top edges of the oven. Flip the half-drum over and apply spray-on insulation to the outside. Attach a base to the bottom of the oven to keep it from tipping over. Drill drainage holes in the bottom of the oven. Slide a custom-sized sheet of tempered glass into the metal lip.

Offices or spare bedrooms are perfect for turning into sewing rooms. While it doesn't have to be large, make sure the space is at least enough for a storage area and a sewing table or desk.  If you do not have an entire room to devote to sewing, set aside an area in a room that is used for other things. A bedroom, office, family room, den, or even a closet could have a sewing space in it.  If sharing a space within another room, determine if you want to keep it open or divide the space for separate uses. Make sure whatever space you choose has easy access to electrical outlets for your equipment, lamps, or computer. An old computer desk will work perfectly for a sewing table. You can also use a chest of drawers for storage. Consider what large items you want in the room, such as an ironing board or couch.  If you'd like to include a cutting table, it needs to be accessible from multiple sides and be large enough to fit the fabric for whatever projects you'll be working on. You should also make sure the table is high enough for you to stand without back pain.  If you have a small space, try to use things that will double up your storage. For example, you can set your sewing machine on a desk and use the drawers for storage. Don't forget to include a way to store trash, recycling, and project scraps. Include your equipment and items from step 2. These could be things like a desk for your sewing machine, cutting table, small couch, ironing board, storage, and shelves.    Remember to include bookcases or wall-mounted shelves. Closet companies can help install custom storage, or you can buy closet organizer kits and install them yourself. Make a cutting area, sewing area, and pressing area. Place these areas in a work triangle to maximize efficiency when moving around the room.  If you have a large room, placing your workstation in the center of the room allows you to work on all sides. Start with any built-in storage, then add the desk or sewing table, and any portable storage.   Keep electricity outlets in mind...

. Choose a variety that is uniform in size and shape, and feels heavy in your hands. Stuart or Moneymaker pecans are two common and popular varieties. Sort through the pecans and dispose of any that have cracks or holes, that feel considerably lighter than the others, or that rattle when you shake them. These nuts have likely gone bad. Some pecan-lovers claim that boiling the pecans before cracking helps to loosen the shells.  Bring a large pot of water to the boil on the stove top. Gently add the pecans to the water and leave to boil for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the pecans and leave to cool before cracking.  Alternatively, you can place one cup of water and two cups of pecans in a microwaveable bowl and heat on high for 5 to 6 minutes. Shelling pecans can be a messy job, as bits of shell are likely to fly everywhere during cracking. As a result, it may be best to set up your work station outside, to minimize clean-up.

An oil drum will work well for this purpose. Be sure to use a metal-cutting blade; when you’re done, the half-drum should look like a cradle. You only need half of the drum to make the oven. You can discard the other half. Put some degreasing soap onto a scrub brush. Thoroughly scrub the inside of the half-drum with degreasing soap and water. Pay extra attention to the corners and crevices, where grease can accumulate. The long side should be as long as the long side of the drum. The other should equal the curved width of the interior of the drum. You can measure the curved interior with a flexible measuring tape, and then mark it out on the sheet metal.  Use tin snips to cut sheet metal. Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves when cutting sheet metal. For the large rectangle: one side be as long as the long side of the drum, the other should equal the curved length of the interior. You can measure this with a flexible measuring tape. Cut a string the length of the radius of the end of the drum. Tie a marker to the end of the string. Hold the string onto the sheet metal, and swivel the marker around to draw a circle. Cut out the circle and cut it in half. Cut using tin snips, wearing safety goggles and protective gloves. Drill holes through both the sheet metal and the drum with a ⅛ inch (.32 cm) drill bit, then apply ⅛ inch (.32 cm) pop rivets with a rivet gun. Slide the rivet into the nozzle of the rivet gun. Place the rivet into the hole you have drilled and squeeze the trigger of the rivet gun. This will maximize the amount of heat inside the oven. You can buy reflective paint at a hardware store or online. Make sure that you wear gloves and non-fancy clothes when you’re painting, and that you paint in a well-ventilated place, preferably outside. This will hold the glass top, which you will slide in and out through the open side. The easiest way to create a lip is with six pieces of metal flashing:  Make a flashing “sandwich” by putting on two layers of flashing so that the glass can slide...

Add the chicken pieces. Add fresh cream. Add a burnt butter garnish. Cover the dish until it served. Finished.

Turn the broiler on and allow it to warm up for about 3 to 5 minutes. Most broilers only have an “ON” and “OFF” setting, but some also have “LOW” and “HIGH” settings. For the latter, preheat the broiler on “LOW.” Arrange the sausages in a single layer on a broiler pan. Place the pan in the preheated broiler, 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) away from the top heating element.  If you do not have a broiler pan, place a metal cooling/cooking rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet and use that instead. You need to use something that allows the fat to drain as the sausages cook, so you should avoid using a flat baking sheet on its own. Both sausage links and sausage patties can be cooked using this method. For sausage links, place the rack 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12.5 cm) away from the heating element. For sausage patties, keep the rack 6 inches (15 cm) away from the same element. For roll breakfast sausage, slice the roll into 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick portions and treat each portion as though it were a pre-formed patty. Broil the sausages for 3 minutes, then turn them over to the other side. Continue cooking for another 3 minutes, or until the juices run clear and the centers are no longer pink.  This amount of time should work for both breakfast patties and breakfast links, but links may benefit from more frequent cooking and, in some instances, may cook a little faster than patties. The internal temperature of both links and patties should reach at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius) before you remove the sausages from the broiler. Remove the sausages from the broiler and transfer them to individual serving plates. Enjoy them while they're still hot. If you do not eat the sausages immediately, refrigerate them for 1 or 2 days, or freeze them for as long as 1 month.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the broiler. Place the sausage near the heat. Broil for 6 minutes. Serve warm.

your baby as often as possible. Keeping milk flowing through your breasts will help to clear the infection and reduce your discomfort. Breastfeed your baby as often as possible starting each feeding with the affected breast. Do not worry about the milk harming your baby. Your breast milk is safe for your baby to drink even if you have an infection.  If you are not able to breastfeed, then pump or hand express some milk instead. Proper positioning during breastfeeding is also important to ensure that your breasts are being emptied fully. Ask your doctor, midwife, or lactation consultant for advice on how to properly position your baby during breastfeeding. Recovering from mastitis requires lots of rest. If possible, take some time off from work to catch up on your sleep. Ask your partner to take over some of your household tasks until you feel better. You may also want to have a trusted friend or family member help you with childcare so that you can get a nap during the day. Staying hydrated will help your body to fight the infection and it will also help to ensure that you can keep up with your little one's breastfeeding demands. Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. Mastitis can be very painful, but the pain is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medications, such as acetaminophen or paracetamol (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil). Follow the dosing instructions on the package or ask your doctor for dosing instructions. Do not take aspirin while you are breastfeeding. This medication passes through to the breast milk and it is not safe for your baby.

TL;DR in English: Breastfeed Get plenty of sleep and rest. Drink lots of water. Use over-the-counter pain medications.

Also add any sauce that remains on the chicken. Cook until the cream is well stirred into the mixture. Take a small pan and add butter to it. Stir continuously and try to get the butter burnt. This most likely will cause a flame, so be careful when handling. Put this burnt butter on the top of the chicken makhani. Mix and cover it. If you don't cover it, the flavor may escape. You're now ready to serve!

Paint can permanently damage your surfaces, so it's important to protect them before you begin. Put down newspapers, a drop cloth, or a tarp and then put your chairs on top of it.  If you use newspapers, put down a thick layer of them, such as 7 to 10 sheets stacked on top of each other and overlapping with several other stacks of 7 to 10 sheets. Make sure the area is well-ventilated before you begin painting, too. Open windows and turn on a fan to help increase the air circulation. You may also want to wear a mask to protect yourself from the paint fumes. If your chair has a fabric seat, such as a dining room chair, then you will need to unscrew it from the chair and set it aside before you start painting. Turn the chair upside down, locate the screws, and use a screwdriver to unscrew them. Place the seats well away from where you will be painting the chair. If the seat covers are old or damaged, then you may want to reupholster the chairs as part of this project. Use a coarse, 80 to 100-grit piece of sandpaper if there's any old paint or lacquer on the piece that you need to remove. Then, switch to a 150-grit or above sandpaper to smooth out any rough spots on the chairs. Rub all of the surfaces of each of your chairs with the sandpaper. Use a back and forth motion to sand them on the seat, spindles, back, legs, and sides. Keep sanding until the surface of each chair is smooth.  Sanding is an important part of the process since it will work out any minor imperfections in the wood and help to make the paint look nicer on the finished chair. You can sand manually or with an orbital sander. Blow on the chair or use a dry cloth first to remove the loose dust left over from sanding it. You can also vacuum up the remaining dust on the chair. Then, wet a washcloth with water and wring it out. Wipe the chair all over with the cloth to remove the remaining dust. Don't skip this or you will end up with dust particles in your paint, which can give the chair a rough appearance. Use a clean, bristled paint brush to...

TL;DR in English: Protect your surfaces with a drop cloth, tarp, or old newspapers. Remove any fabric seat covers from the chair before you begin. Sand all surfaces of the wooden chairs. Wipe down the chairs with a damp cloth. Apply 1 coat of primer to each of the chairs. Allow the primer to dry as indicated by the manufacturer. Sand and dust the chairs again after the primer is dry if needed. Apply 2 or more thin coats of paint to the chairs. Allow the paint to dry completely before using the chairs.

Knowing what your cat does not like will help you avoid doing the things that could jeopardize your bond with them. Unlike dogs, cats generally do not like belly rubs. In fact, if you try to rub their belly, they may instinctively react defensively by extending their claws and trying to bite you.  In the wild, cats are aware that they can be predator and prey at the same time. The belly houses the most vital organs, so if you reach for their belly when they're unaware of your harmless intentions, their prey mentality might be triggered and they may do all they can to protect that area of their body. When your cat is stretched out and showing their belly, they may feeling very relaxed and comfortable in their environment. However, they might be demonstrating defensive behavior. To be on the safe side, do not mistake the showing of their belly as your cat's invitation to rub their belly.  Even though some cats may not mind their bellies being rubbed, it is best to avoid this area and pet your cat only in the areas where you know they enjoy being touched. As mentioned before, follow your cat’s lead when it comes to how much they want to interact with you. Forcing them to play with you, or trying to pet them when they do not want be petted, will probably make your cat like you less. They may even become fearful of you because they do not trust that you will respect their space.  Just as your cat can show you affectionate body language (e.g., purring, head bunting), they can also let you know when they've had enough and want to be alone. For example, if they start growling, hissing, or spitting, give them some space and alone time until they calm down.  Your cat may also simply become physically tired from playing and will probably stop on their own. Avoiding forced interactions is especially important if your cat is timid. Physically punishing your cat is not effective, since they will not be able to make a direct association between their behavior and your punishment. Instead, consider giving them a timeout,...

TL;DR in English: Refrain from petting your cat on their belly. Do not force interactions with your cat. Do not yell at or physically punish your cat.

Who are you? Are you confident, shy, bold, careful, smart, getting smarter, involved, inactive, sensitive, tough, etc.? Deciding on what type of temperaments you are hoping for in a partner is much easier by being clearer about your own character, first. Someone who handles emotions and conflict nearly like you do is likely to be a better match than someone who responds very differently. This step can be somewhat of a journey into self discovery as a key element in loving anybody else is the ability to love yourself too. Write down a list of your traits and attributes as you perceive them. Don't rush it, you can come back to the list over several days if needed. Lists of personality traits, personal attributes, etc. can be found in psychology texts and many career choice books. Reading through such lists will help to jog your mind––see which traits you strongly identify with. Do be careful to avoid choosing traits you "wish" you had, as clearly, those are not who you are for real. Once you have identified the traits, you'll have a good guide as to what kind of person is appropriate for you. At its most basic, for example, if you are:  Talkative, then you may go well with a reserved person who likes to listen more than talking. An introvert, you can be very attracted and very suited to a certain kind of extrovert and vice versa. Career driven, then you may love a homebody who wants to be an organizer, cook, "homemaker", and you will bring home the bread. Artist or musician, then you may love a person who appreciates and supports talented, whimsical, different kinds of "ambitions" and may become your biggest fan. The Keirsey Personality (Temperament) Sorter ("The Keirsey Temperament Sorter®-II (KTS®-II)") is a popular online test that you can take (it's free).

If you are starting to feel lonely after cutting yourself off, don’t bottle up those feelings. Express them through creative outlets, such as journaling, painting, dancing or singing. Research shows that pets can improve your mood and your overall health. A person with a pet will likely have lower blood pressure and lower indicators of heart disease, such as triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Having a companion such as a cat or dog can ease loneliness as well. Keep your mind busy with a stimulating activity. Hobbies keep you moving forward. They can also help you with focus and concentration. Find a hobby that you like, such as knitting, playing music, gardening or woodworking. Just because you’ve cut yourself off from society doesn’t mean you have to spend your time holed up in your house. Get outside and get some exercise by participating in a solo sport, like cycling, hiking, running, or yoga. Now that you have cut yourself off from your friends and family, you can do exactly what you want. Go hiking, take a cross-country bike ride, or go canoeing.  You can enjoy your solitude with a great adventure.

TL;DR in English: Express lonely feelings. Get a pet. Take up a hobby. Participate in a solo sport. Go on adventures.

. While you can try to boost the person’s self-esteem with compliments and by being a supportive friend, the person will also need to do some work to develop their own self-esteem. Try to encourage your friend to work on their self-esteem by providing examples of what has worked for you. For example, you might encourage your friend to try daily self-affirmations and say something like, "When I'm having a crummy day or feeling low, I like to boost myself up with mirror compliments. I start by looking at myself in a mirror and then I find one nice thing to say to myself, like ‘My hair looks so full and shiny today! I love it!’" Insecurities can come out in a variety of unhealthy ways.  Sometimes people will act rude, jealous, or controlling.  Some insecure people may lack insight into how their behaviors are damaging to themselves or others.  Try to understand how insecure people impact you and others in these ways:  Relationships.  Do you feel your partner is needy, dependent, controlling, or untrustworthy?  Help them to be less dependent and more trusting. Work.  Do you feel your co-workers are manipulative, rude, or jealous of you? Help them to find positive things in the workplace, and be friendly. Family and Home. Do you feel like your family or relatives are judgmental, paranoid, rude to others, or constantly depressed? Help to reduce anxiety and stress in the home by being a role model. Insecure people often focus a lot more on the negative aspects of their lives such as a lack of love, support, money, or appreciation.  They feel like they've been victimized (and maybe they have in the past).  Give them positive things to focus on.  Keep conversations positive and light.  Avoid topics that could lead to a venting session or more negative talk. Remind them of things that are positive or encouraging.  It could be a positive quote, a cat video, pictures of family or friends, or other things that boost their spirits. Sometimes, it can just be telling them that you like their shirt, shoes, a decoration on...

TL;DR in English: Encourage them to work on their own self-esteem See how the insecurities impact themselves and others. Focus on the positive. Communicate with them about what they're doing well. Encourage them to find activities they enjoy.

A basic, easy smoke bomb that produces thick grey smoke with a purple flame can be made using just two ingredients: white granulated sugar and potassium nitrate, the ingredient found in cold packs. Mixing these two simply components together creates a slow-burning, long-lasting bomb.  If you don't have granulated sugar, you can use powdered sugar, but the process of building the smoke bomb will be a little different. If you don't have a cold pack, look for another source of potassium nitrate (also known as saltpeter). It's often sold in the fertilizer section of hardware and garden stores. You can also buy saltpeter online or  make it yourself if you're feeling ambitious. You also need a medium-sized pot, aluminum foil, a smoke bomb mold, and waxed string (optional). You can line any sort of container with the aluminum foil to make it into a smoke bomb. The shape of the smoke bomb will affect the way it burns. If you want, make more than one smoke bomb so you can compare different shapes and see which one burns the best. Here are a few mold ideas:  Cut the top off a paper milk carton and use the bottom half as a mold if you'd like a square smoke bomb. Line it with aluminum foil. Line a bowl with aluminum foil. Any type of bowl works, whether it's deep or shallow. Make tiny smoke bombs by lining votive candle holders with aluminum foil. Make a tube-shaped bomb by lining the inside of a toilet paper roll with aluminum foil, making sure one end is completely covered. Make a funnel-shaped smoke bomb by lining a funnel with foil. Find an interestingly-shaped vase to make an artistic-looking smoke bomb. When it comes to making a great smoke bomb (one that you can easily light and that will burn for a nice long time), the most important thing to get right is the ratio of your ingredients. You need 3 parts potassium nitrate and 2 parts sugar. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of potassium nitrate and 1 cup sugar for a decent-sized smoke bomb.  Adding too much sugar will create a bomb that is difficult to ignite and burns quite...

Choose the correct formula. Give them warm formula. Protect the formula from contamination.

The stoma is the hole in the neck/trachea where the tubes are inserted so the patient can breathe. The stoma should be assessed each time after suctioning for skin breakdown and signs of infection. If any symptoms of infection are present (or if anything at all seems questionable), consult a doctor immediately.  Symptoms of a stoma infection can include redness, swelling, pain, and the secretion of foul-smelling pus. If a stoma is infected and inflamed, the tracheal tubes will be more difficult to insert. If a stoma is pale or bluish, this may indicate an issue with blood flow to the tissue, and you should contact a doctor right away. Each time you remove a tracheal tube, clean and disinfect the stoma. Use an antiseptic solution such as betadine solution or something similar. The stoma should be cleaned in a circular motion (with a sterile gauze) starting at the 12 o’clock position and wiping downward to the three o’clock position. Then use a new gauze dipped in antiseptic and wipe towards the nine o’clock position. To clean the lower half of the stoma, wipe with a new gauze from the three o’clock position towards the six o’clock position. Then wipe again from the nine o’clock position moving towards the six o’clock position. The dressing around the tracheostomy should be changed at least twice a day. This helps to prevent infection at the stoma site and within the respiratory system (lungs). Changing it also helps to promote the skin's integrity. A new dressing helps to insulate the skin and absorb the secretions that might leak around the stoma.  A wet dressing should be changed immediately. This breeds bacteria and can lead to health complications. Don't forget to change the ribbons (ties) that keep the tracheal tube in place if they get soiled or wet. Make sure to hold the tracheal tube in place while changing the ribbons.

TL;DR in English: Assess the stoma. Clean the stoma with an antiseptic. Change the dressing regularly.

Unfortunately, there is no standard procedure when taking bikes on public transit. Some trains allow it, some only on certain hours, and others never at all. Coupled with any transitions you might make, such as switching to a bus or light-rail, and it may seem easier to skip the bike altogether. However, knowing your entire route in advance will make planning far easier. Google and Apple maps, for example, have extensive public transportation and bike maps that let you know all available routes, even mixed routes, after you type in your destination address.  If you need to take a bus, does the bus system accept bikes? How far are you traveling when you get off the train? It might make more sense to lock the bike at the station if you get right off at your destination. Find out if there are any fees, restrictions, or requirements. The most frequent restrictions include:  Only riding in bike-designated cars. No bikes during peak hours, frequently 8-10AM and 4-6PM No bikes on crowded or packed cars. Getting your bike up and down the stairs, through turnstiles, and on the train will inevitably take a little extra time, so plan accordingly. For short trips, an extra 5-10 minutes should be more than enough to get you there on time. Many stations do not let you bring a bike on escalators for safety reasons, so be prepared to potentially haul up and down stairs. Purchase the fare for your trip, including fees for bringing your bike. Many trains require an additional amount to cover the bike. If you can't get in the turnstile with your bike, signal the attendant. You can usually swipe your card/pay the fare, then enter through the emergency or handicapped entrance after paying. Stand with your bike on the platform behind the boarding line until the train comes to a stop. Wait for other passengers to exit and enter before boarding. Stow it away from doors and aisles, in a position where it won’t fall over and you can keep a hand on it. Try to turn the handlebars so that the wheels are in a straight line, out of the way...

TL;DR in English: Plan out your route ahead of time, including transitions, walking, biking, and time of day. Call ahead or check your train's website to see if they accept bikes. Allow extra time to get to your destination. Pay the correct fare. Stand on the platform. Board the train with your bike, standing along the side. Follow subway and train etiquette.

The best things to feed your baby bunny are kitten milk replacer (KMR) or goat milk. You can get these items from a veterinarian’s office or from a pet store. Rabbit’s milk has a higher calorie count than other milks, so you need to add calories to the formula. Add 100% heavy whipping cream that has no added sugar. When you feed the bunny, you want to make sure that you heat the formula. The formula should be warm, but not hot. It should be around the same temperature as what you would give to an infant. Avoid microwaving the formula. Instead, place the formula in the syringe. Then, put hot water into a bowl and place the syringe in the bowl until it reaches a warm temperature. It is very important that you don’t feed your bunny contaminated formula. One good way to avoid this is to throw away all formula after using it instead of saving what is left. If you make up formula ahead of time, check it each time to make sure it hasn’t gone bad. Look for lumps, a skin on top of it, or a change in color.

Most stories start with a kernel of an idea. This may hint at the theme of your story, or the theme may emerge through the development of the story. If you have an idea for a story, it will be helpful to sketch out the story. Then you can start to determine the different directions it can take. This then points to potential themes that you can focus on. Outline your story, listing the characters and setting out the order of events that will happen in the story. Once you’ve identified a theme for your story, you can start to think about ways in which to represent that theme. Start with a free association exercise. In this exercise, focus on your theme – either the word or phrase (such as “family” or “environment” or “corporate greed”). Let your mind wander and observe the thoughts, people, images and so on that enter into your mind. Write down these thoughts and images. Try out the technique of “mind-mapping”. In this technique, you start with a central idea and begin to map out the ways in which the story develops. This way, you can also start to identify how the theme weaves through the story. Your story’s characters are tasked with goals and aspirations. These motivations drive your character to act certain ways. These actions often feed into your theme.  For example, if your character is passionate about becoming a vegan, you might start to examine themes of whether humans have the right to take control over the natural world. In many non-fiction pieces, such as a letter to the editor, you are the “character” and your motivation is what will define the theme. For example, if you are writing a letter to your congressperson about a recent oil spill in your community, your theme could be something like the need for environmental cleanup and responsibility. The characters in your story are faced with a conflict that drives the plot. This may be an event or an antagonist. When you figure out the central conflict of your story, you may start to uncover your theme. For example, your character’s parent committed a...

TL;DR in English: Make an outline of your story. Brainstorm ideas that can represent your theme. Look into your character’s motivations. Think about your story’s conflict. Research to support your theme. Realize that you can have more than one theme.

Most cities have animal control offices to deal with complaints about animals. In some cities, animal shelters handle these complaints. To find the appropriate office, you can look for “animal control” in your phone book.  You can also search the Internet. Type “animal waste complaint” and “your city.” The appropriate office should show in your search results. Once you find the appropriate office, write down the phone number that you call. Before calling, pull together the relevant information to give to animal control. For example, you should have the following:  a description of the animal the animal’s address the time of the incident any other relevant details Some cities give you the ability to make an anonymous report. You might want to report anonymously if you are afraid of the animal owner or if you otherwise don’t want to get involved in any dispute. However, if you report anonymously, then animal control might not do anything. In order to properly punish the animal owner, animal control may have to request a hearing where evidence is presented against the dog owner. Animal control might not be able to bring this hearing if you are not willing to testify. Some cities have online forms you can complete in order to make an animal waste complaint. For example, you can file an online complaint in New York City. After you complain, animal control should reach out to the animal’s owner. An inspector may even stop to meet with the animal owner. You should offer to help animal control in any way that you can. For example, you should share with the inspector any documentation you have of the waste. After being contacted by animal control, the owner may still refuse to pick up after their animal. In this situation, you need to make a second complaint to animal control. In some cities, such as Fort Worth, you will have to fill out an affidavit. The affidavit should include:  the name of the animal’s owner (or a description if you don’t know the name) the animal owner’s address a description of the animals the...

TL;DR in English: Find the appropriate office. Gather relevant information. Decide if you want to report anonymously. Report online, instead. Meet with an animal control inspector. Make a second complaint.

Start brushing at the ends and slowly work your way up to the roots.  You can apply a leave-in conditioner or dry conditioner before brushing to stop tangles from forming while brushing. You will temporarily stand upside down so that you can brush the underside of your hair at the back of your neck. Brush your hair forward over the crown of your head and down to the tips, toward the floor.  Move all along the back of your neck and up to the sides of your head, beside your ears. You can also move sections of hair to brush hard-to-reach layers. Brush for 3-5 minutes. Avoid getting dizzy by standing back up slowly so that your body has time to adjust. Again, brush for another 3-5 minutes, moving all around the top of your head.  Brush in slow, gentle strokes to avoid hair breakage and to stimulate the scalp. Part your hair to brush in different sections as needed. Brushing your hair with a natural boar bristle brush can be done up to three times per day, but doing it at least once daily is recommended.

Pop culture glorifies relationships. As a single person, you might feel like you’re not normal, but realize that “normal” is different for everyone, and that a significant proportion of teens never date in high school. Plus, being in a relationship comes with many complications of its own. There’s nothing wrong with being single as a teen—it can actually be more fun! If you’re scared of being single, you’re more likely to enter less-than-ideal relationships just because you don’t want to be alone. However, being single is way better than being in a subpar relationship, so don’t settle.  There’s no hurry--you have your whole life to be in a committed relationship. If it happens in high school, great. If not, that’s great too! Some people just want to be in committed relationships because they are too afraid to be independent and get to know themselves. Being in a close romantic relationship can make it hard to separate your identity from your partner’s. Use your singledom to try new activities that get you inspired! Exploring your interests can help you develop a better sense of self, which can lead to healthier relationships down the road. Have you always loved fashion? Consider taking a sewing class. If you’ve always wanted to try hockey, join your school’s team.

It is important to let your workplace know what has happened, and the statistics so gathered can help to improve workplace practices for everyone's future safety. This includes injuries with sterile, "clean" sticks. This should be done at required intervals through the window period, the time during which a person exposed to a virus still tests negative, even though the virus is multiplying.  Retesting for HIV exposure usually occurs at six weeks, three, six, and 12 months to look for HIV antibodies. Retesting for HCV antibodies usually occurs six weeks after the incident, and again at four to six months.

Think that you can do a skill, that you are afraid to. Try to be positive at every single practice! Maybe it's something like getting better at double backs, or something like getting your leg higher in a scorpion. What ever it is, if you have a goal in mind, it makes it easier to achieve it. Usually some people practice gymnastics for even four or five hours everyday, without their lessons. Typical gymnasts usually train for three to four hours, three times every week. If you wish to be a competitive gymnast the training hours will increase prior to an event.

Selling to a third party will remove your name (and your co-borrower’s name) from the mortgage, by paying off the debt. The sale can free both you and your co-borrower up to purchase your own home. If your home is worth enough to cover your existing mortgage, it makes sense to sell the property. If you owe more on your property than it is worth, you can try negotiating a short-sale with your lender. In a short-sale the lender agrees to a sale of the property for less than the total debt, but it still releases you fully from that debt. A real estate agent will list the property for you. They will also assist you in negotiating with the buyer to an agreed upon purchase price. (Some people choose to sell the property themselves. This is called a “for sale by owner” sale.) The attorney can make sure the documentation is drafted properly. They will ensure you are no longer listed on the mortgage or the property records. Make sure you receive copies of these records to retain for your personal files.

Screw extractors are designed to help you remove broken screws. You can find them at home improvement stores for relatively cheap, and they will make the process easier. Screw extractors work best on screws with stripped threads and/or broken heads. Pick a bit smaller than the screw. Drill a hole down the center. If it won't drill, try using a smaller bit instead, such as a 1⁄16 inch (1.6 mm) bit. Be gentle and go slowly, as you don't want to break the bit off in the screw head. Push the extractor into the hole you've just drilled. Push down on it as hard as you can, and then use a hammer to tap it fully into the hole. As you push down on the extractor, use your drill or a screwdriver to turn the extractor counterclockwise. The threads of the extractor should catch in the screw, allowing you to twist it out. If it doesn't work, try tapping the extractor in harder, or apply a lubricant like Liquid Wrench to the screw. Let the lubricant sit for 30 minutes before trying to remove the screw. To remove a screw without a head, you can simply grasp the end of the shank with pliers. Turn the pliers to release the screw from the material, and pull out the screw.

When offering a tip in either country, be discreet and note that your tip may be refused.  Tip 10% to 15% to your waiter at a restaurant. Offer $1 per bag to the porter at your hotel, $1 to $5 per day to the housekeeper, and $10 to $20 per favor to the concierge. Cab drivers get 10% of the fare. A private guide receives $50 per person per day, but a bus-tour guide gets $5 to $10. A private driver gets a $20 per day tip. If you get a spa or beauty treatment, tip 10% to 15%. Formally, tipping is not expected or accepted at hotels and other service businesses, with only a few exceptions.  Luggage porters should get 10 yuan per bag. Offer 10 to 30 yuan per massage at a massage house. For the most part, you will not need to leave any tip for any service provided in Japan. In fact, oftentimes, a tip will even be refused. If you see a tip jar located in a restaurant or western-owned business, however, you can leave a tip, but the amount is up to your discretion. As with Japan, tipping is not a common practice in South Korea. You can offer a tip for exceptional service, but it is not expected.  Guides still get $10 per person per day, however, and drivers get about half that amount. Hotel porters can be tipped $1 per bag. A gratuity is expected for your server at a restaurant, but otherwise, most tips are very much appreciated but not necessarily expected.  Offer a 10% to 15% tip at a restaurant. If you want to tip your driver, give 100 to 200 rupees. For great service provided by a hotel concierge, porter, or housekeeper, offer an extra 268 to 535 rupees.

If you're not a fan of chunky salsa, your immersion blender can make a smooth version in a jiffy. Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, and a little bit of salt and pepper to a tall, narrow stainless steel dish. Then move your immersion blender up and down until your ingredients are blended to your preference.  Depending on your tastes, you'll have to determine how much of each ingredient to use. For example, if you like spicier salsa, you might want to add more jalapeño to the mix. You may want to add your tomatoes last to your mixing dish. This way, they'll be at the top and blend first. This will release liquid that will help blend the other ingredients. Keep your blender level when operating. Even in your mixing dish, tilting your blender on too much of an angle can cause foot to spatter and fly. Add basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, and a little salt and pepper to a tall, narrow stainless steel mixing dish. Keep the blades of your blender level, and with an up-and-down motion, blend together the ingredients to make your pesto. A simple pesto recipe you might use: 2 cups packed with fresh basil leaves, 2 full cloves of garlic, ¼ cup of pine nuts, 2/3 of a cup of extra-virgin olive oil. Most hand blenders come with a beater attachment that'll allow you to mix smooth batter with ease. If your batter has a tendency to turn out lumpy, using your immersion blender to mix it should help prevent this.

Piping bags are used to pipe icing onto cakes in a controlled fashion through a pointed tip. The design of the tip results in smooth, ridged, or star-shaped icing. When you're ready to ice cupcakes, assemble the piping bag and tip by screwing the tip onto the bag according to the instructions.  Check out the selection of piping bags and icing tips at your local grocery store or specialty baking store. Larger icing tips result in a better final look for icing swirls. Smaller tips are used for writing or making small decorations. Make your own piping bag by cutting a small hole at the bottom of a plastic sandwich bag. You'll be able to attach an icing tip to your homemade bag. Set the cupcakes on a tray to prepare them to be iced. Icing swirls look better when they're made with stiffer icing that can hold its shape. Since most store-bought icing is a little on the gooey side, you're better off making your own. Use the following basic recipe to make classic buttercream icing, which is perfect for icing swirls. Simply beat the following ingredients together, adding a little more milk if the end result seems too stiff. You can swap out the vanilla for another flavoring and add a few drops of food coloring if you want:  1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened 4 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 Tablespoons milk

Tennis, then, will dominate your life when you're on the path to becoming a pro.   Establish a schedule for yourself that engages you as many times a week as you need to improve. Many pre-professional players train six days a week for several hours a day. Psychologists say that it takes about 5 years, or 1,000 hours to become an expert at something mainly involving sports.

Though this is certainly true of dogs and cats, even fish and lizards require dedication and love to really thrive. Animals are social beings much like humans, and you need to set aside time to play with your pets so they get exercise and mental stimulation.  Give your pet room to roam -- the bigger the animal, the more room they'll need. Buy toys and play-sets for you and your pet to use together. Give your pet the occasional treat after good behavior to motivate it and cement good habits. s it. A major part of caring for a pet is training. Training is essential for the safety of the animal and the people who interact with it.  If you have an apartment cat, the litter box is very important from the start. You have to teach your cat to use the litter box and to think of it as its only place to do the necessary business. The litter box needs frequent cleaning (once or twice a day, depending on the cat). Feeding is approximately 2 or 3 times a day, again, depending on the cat. Water should be supplied continuously. Dogs need to be trained so they understand proper behavior, such as where to go to the bathroom and not to jump on people when they enter the house. It’s important that the owner establishes control, but never in an abusive or harmful way to the animal. Some animals require more attention than others, so the amount of time they need is often relative. Just be sure than you are capable of fulfilling whatever that need may be.  Try to take a little time out of each day to spend with your pet, even if it's just sitting down with them. More often than not, your pet would be more than happy to relax with you. Dogs should be walked, and hamsters need time to run around in their balls. Play should be fun for both your pet and you, but make sure it is safe and monitored at all times. Research whether your pet breed needs to socialize with other animals. Play with it - dogs are very social animals so they need to spend time with their owners. With toys or simply chasing him around is enough for exercising....

Most likely, you'll need well over $100,000 dollars to open your bar. This number could be reasonable if you plan to open in a small town in rural Mississippi, but if you plan to open up shop in New York City or Los Angeles, you'll need to be prepared to raise five times that amount or more. Remember that roughly 75% of bars/restaurants that open close within the first year. Don't let your bar go out of business because you didn't anticipate the exorbitant costs of starting a successful bar. If your budget can't survive at least startup plus a few months running without netting a dime before you have to give up, then forget it. The last thing you want is to start the bar and then run out of money before business builds up to a profitable level. If necessary, choose a different location or find some other way to cut expenses.  Remember, this should all be planned out before you take any other steps. If the bar you want has not been constructed yet, add several months and thousands of dollars on top of your other costs to build it. Remember that construction is a timely process and most likely will take longer than projected. There is no formula for a perfectly stocked bar. It all depends on how many people you attract to your bar and how much they consume. Some bars that focus on “beer crowds” will want to have a variety of beers on hand, while a wine bar will want to have a great selection of wines. This being said, there is a standard set of drinks, liquors, liqueurs, and mixers that every bar will want to have. Saying “we don’t sell that drink here” to a customer could cause them to leave, so be ready for anything. Be sure to have gin, vodka, rum, whiskey, tequila, and brandy in addition to beer and wine. These are starter liquors. They can be consumed by themselves or combined with various other ingredients to form thousands of drinks. This isn’t going to be a one-man operation. You’ll need bartenders, waiters/waitresses, a host/hostess, chefs, a janitorial staff, book keepers, managers for while you are...

Frame construction is ISO Class 1.  ISO Class 1 encompasses IBC Type VA and IBC Type VB.  Regardless of whether the IBC classification is A (protected) or B (unprotected) the ISO Class is 1. Frame buildings are buildings with exterior walls, floors, and roofs with combustible construction — or buildings with exterior walls of noncombustible or slow-burning construction with combustible floors and roofs.  Frame buildings generally have roof, floor, and supports of combustible material, usually wood, and combustible interior walls. Two variations on frame construction don't change the construction class:  Masonry veneer (brick veneer)- Masonry veneer is thin layers of brick, stone, or stucco, used for appearance purposes rather than structural support. Metal clad - A building with a metal exterior wall may not look like frame construction, but when the metal skin is attached to wood studs and joists, ISO classifies the building as frame.   Other conditions that lead to classification as frame construction include:  Metal walls or floors sheathed with combustible materials Metal floors or roofs with combustible insulation or ceiling material attached to the underside or within 18 inches (45.7 cm) of horizontal supports Composite assemblies of noncombustible materials with combustible materials easy to erect and alter economical versatile performs well in Earthquake areas – can move fire can spread rapidly highly damageable may become unstable in a fire  may include enclosed spaces where fire can spread undetected

It is very common for people who suffer from Crohn’s disease to suffer from specific vitamin and mineral deficiencies. This is often due to the diet of soft and refined foods that can alleviate symptoms, yet does not provide enough of some essential vitamins. Discuss your diet with your doctor or dietitian and ask them for recommendations of vitamin and mineral supplements, and in what form you should be taking them. Ask your doctor about prebiotics and probiotics, which can stimulate the growth of gut microbiota and may help lessen your symptoms. ASA medications such as sulfasalazine (inflammation reducer) which are used for the treatment of Crohn’s disease may impair the absorption of folate. A folate deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anemia. Green leafy vegetables are good sources of folic acid, but you might be intolerant to them as they contain a lot of fiber; therefore, the supplement might be a better option for you. You can take a  5mg tab of folic acid once daily to prevent this type of anemia. Oral tablets will not work because of failure to absorb. Vitamin B12 is absorbed from terminal part of small intestine (terminal ileum). This part is commonly affected in Crohn’s. Sometimes, this part is even surgically removed to relieve narrowed intestine. This often results in a vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to megaloblastic anemia. You may develop a vitamin D deficiency due to poor absorption (particularly after bowel surgery). This deficiency may cause low calcium absorption, resulting in bone weakness and potential fractures. Take vitamin D supplements in capsule form. One  0.25 mg capsule of vitamin D daily is sufficient to meet your daily needs. Alternatively, you may take cod liver oil, which can be found in capsule form. Take one capsule daily to supplement vitamin A and D. Calcium deficiency may arise from avoidance of dairy products, poor absorption and steroid intake. Bones become brittle and thin in calcium deficiency. As a result, you may incur fractures with only minor traumas or...

If you get a wound, keeping the area clean can help prevent infections, irritation, and scarring. Wash the area daily with gentle soap and warm water to remove germs, dirt, and debris.  Avoid soaps that contain harsh perfumes and dyes. If you’re getting medical treatment for your wound, follow your doctor’s instructions for cleaning and dressing it. Wounds that develop scabs are more likely to leave scars. To prevent scabbing, always cover your clean wound with hydrating petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline. Cover the wound with a bandage to keep it clean and hydrated. Change the bandage, clean the wound, and reapply the petroleum jelly daily or any time the bandage gets wet or dirty. with aloe vera gel. Medical researchers have found that aloe helps promote the healing of burn wounds more effectively than petroleum jelly. To minimize scarring, apply 100% aloe gel to the wound daily until the burn heals.  If you have a third degree burn or a second degree burn that is larger than 3 inches (7.6 cm) across, seek medical care immediately. Don’t try to treat a severe burn on your own. You can also ask your doctor for a silver sulfadiazine prescription to help prevent infections for second- or third-degree burns. Even after your wound has healed, it’s important to keep protecting the area in order to minimize any potential scarring. If you have a fresh scar after the wound heals, put sunscreen on it or cover it with protective clothing (such as long sleeves) until it fades or disappears.  Use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. If you have a scar from surgery, your surgeon will probably recommend that you keep it protected from the sun for at least 1 year. If you have a wound that requires stitches, you can minimize potential scarring by having the stitches removed in the timeframe that your doctor recommends. Taking the stitches out too late or too early may result in more severe scarring.  Don’t attempt to remove the stitches on your own. Visit your doctor’s office and ask them to remove the stitches for you....

Toothpaste works best for shallow scratches and scuffs on the reflective side. It will probably not work on a deep scratch. Scratches on the non-reflective label side should never be rubbed, and may have caused irreparable damage. If you have deep scratches, consider sending the disk to a disk repair service. You could also try more abrasive treatments, such as a non-petroleum-based metal polish.

TL;DR in English: Inspect the scratches.

When your tattoo is first healing, an antibiotic can help prevent infection and speed up the healing process. However, don't use it for more than one or two days because the cream can prevent oxygen from circulating around your healing skin, which is needed for the ink to seal. Apply the cream twice a day for up to two days. Do this when your tattoo is thoroughly dry. Using a small amount of cream, gently rub it over your tattoo with your fingers in a circular motion. Only apply a thin layer of cream so that your tattoo shines. Try to avoid applying cream over any scabs.  If you applied too much cream, use a clean paper towel to blot and remove the excess cream. Plain, unscented creams are generally used to treat tattoos. After you remove the bandage, do not apply another one. Your skin needs oxygen circulating around it to heal. Your tattoo will take two weeks to fully heal. Use the same procedure to wash and moisturize the tattoo. Each time you clean it, check to make sure that it is healing. Don't pick any scabs that form. Your doctor will most likely prescribe a steroid or an antibiotic to treat the infection. Signs of an infection are:  A very painful or hot to the touch tattoo after seven to ten days. A pimply or bumpy rash surrounding your tattoo. An extremely red, itchy and/or swollen tattoo after seven to ten days. Blistering or unusual scabbing. Pimples or boils that exude pus. Continued bleeding after three nights, or red streaking. A fever and/or swollen lymph nodes.

TL;DR in English: Use an antibacterial ointment for up to two days. Apply a thin layer of unscented moisturizer. Leave your tattoo unbandaged. Clean twice daily for two weeks. Contact a doctor if you suspect you have an infection.

Start by answering questions that you know the answers to and skip the other questions. You can come back to them later. This will help to give you some momentum and build your confidence for tackling the more difficult parts of the exam. It will also help to improve the chances that you will pass by ensuring that you get maximum points possible.  For example, if you know the answers to some of the multiple choice questions, answer those questions first and skip over the ones you don’t know. Return to the questions you skipped only after you have finished answering the ones you know. If you get stuck on a question that you do not know the answer to, then you might just have to guess. However, make sure that you will not be penalized for entering an incorrect answer. If this is the case, then you might be better off leaving these questions blank. A penalty means that you will receive an additional points deduction for incorrect responses. For example, if you will receive an additional deduction for answering incorrectly, but you will only receive zero credit if you leave it blank, then leave it blank. If you come across a question that you do not know the answer to, you might be able to improve your chances of getting it right by circling the keywords. Circle any words that stand out to you as important terms and see if this helps you to understand and answer the question. For example, if the question is, “What is the main difference between mitosis and meiosis?” then the keywords are “difference,” “mitosis,” and “meiosis.” You would want to focus on these terms to determine how to answer the question. If you come across a question that is worded in a way that is hard for you to comprehend, try rewriting the question in your own words. This may help to give you some clarity on what the question is asking and how best to answer it. For example, if the question asks, “What was the most notable achievement of Louis Pasteur that also shares his name?” then you might rewrite the question to, “What important thing...

. A soft, smooth, and slightly moist mouth is ideal for kissing. Before you move in, you should make sure your lips aren't chapped or dry so your partner isn't distracted or put off by the state of your lips. If you want to soften your lips before you go in for the kiss, you should try these quick fixes:  Use chapstick. Swipe some over your lips and press them together. (If you're a girl and you have flavored chapstick, all the better!) The only caveat is that you should apply lip balm or gloss an hour or more before you kiss, so your kissing partner feels your soft lips, not the thick layer of gloss over them. Drink water. Dry lips are a sign of dehydration, so throw back a tall glass of water (or two). You should notice your lips starting to smooth out within 20 to 30 minutes. Lick your lips. If you're really in a pinch and have no time to spare, quickly run your tongue over your lips and press them together. This should moisten them slightly without making them slobbery or slick. You can even lick your lips a bit subtly while making eye contact with your kissing partner. You never want to have bad breath when you are about to kiss someone, whether the kiss is a French kiss or not. Because your mouth will be open in a French kiss, fresh breath is especially important. Practice good dental hygiene. If you know you are about to kiss someone, take a second to brush your teeth or at least rinse out your mouth with water.  Always have breath mints or mint-flavored gum with you if you think there is a chance you might kiss someone while you are out. If you want to be subtle, you can quickly suck on a breath mint or chew gum for a minute in the bathroom, so you don't make it too obvious that you're ready to kiss. Avoid foods that leave an unpleasant aftertaste or residue, particularly garlic, coffee, onions, milk, and corn. If you're on a dinner date before the big kiss, try to eat strategically. A good kiss—especially a first kiss or first French kiss—is the culmination of building tension and growing intimacy....

TL;DR in English: Keep your lips soft Freshen your breath. Find the right moment. Make eye contact. Smile. Close your eyes. Keep your mouth in a kissable position.

A balance sheet shows the company's assets (what it owns), liabilities (what it owes) and equity accounts, such as common stock and additional paid-in capital for a specific date. Title the first page of your financial report “Balance Sheet” and then list the organization's name and the balance sheet's effective date. The balance sheet items are reported as of a specific day of the year. For example, the balance may be prepared as of December 31. Most balance sheets feature assets on the left and liabilities/equity on the right. Alternatively, some may show assets on top and liabilities/equity below. Add the title “Assets” to first section of the balance sheet, then list the different assets held by the company.  Start with current assets, such as cash and any items that will be converted to cash within one year of the balance sheet date. At the end of this section, include a subtotal of the current assets.  Next, list the non-current assets. Non-current assets are defined as any assets that are not in the form of cash and will not be converted to cash any time soon. For example, property, equipment and notes receivable are non-current assets. Include a subtotal of the non-current assets.  Finally, sum the current and non-current subtotals and label this line “Total Assets.” The next section of the balance sheet shows the liabilities and equity accounts. This section of the balance sheet should be titled “Liabilities and Equity.”   Begin by listing current liabilities. These are liabilities that are due within one year, and typically include accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the short-term portion of mortgages and other loan payments. Include a subtotal of the current liabilities.  Next, include the long-term liabilities. These are any liabilities that will not be settled within one year, such as long-term debt and notes payable. Include a subtotal of long-term liabilities.  Sum the current and non-current subtotals and label this line “Total Liabilities.” The equity section of the balance sheet comes...

Place the chilled dough on a clean, lightly floured surface. Use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough out until it is an even 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick all the way around. Try to keep the dough in the shape of a rectangle as you roll it out. If there are uneven edges, use a knife to trim them away before cutting the main part of the dough into pieces. The scraps of dough should be re-kneaded together and re-rolled after you form pieces from the main portion. Cut additional pieces from these scraps once you roll the scraps back into a workable form. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the rectangle of dough into strips that are roughly 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) wide. Cut the dough crosswise into another set of 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) strips, ultimately forming 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) squares. You could make the pieces a little bigger, if desired, but keep in mind that larger pieces will take longer to cook. Cut the dough into 2 inch (5 cm) squares. Cut each square in half diagonally, then poke a small hole in the center of each triangle. Carefully pull one corner of the triangle through the hole, forming a knot. To form 2 inch (5 cm) squares, cut the flattened rectangle of dough into 2 inch (5 cm) strips with a knife or pizza cutter. Cut another set of 2 inch (5 cm) strips crosswise, forming the squares.

A regular sewing machine foot will usually jam if you try to satin stitch with it. Buy a special satin stitch foot from any store that sells your brand of sewing machine. This foot has a groove on the underside so the stitch can pass through as you go.  A transparent foot makes it easier to see your design. For intricate designs, you may use a free motion embroidery foot instead. This allows you to move the fabric in any direction while you stitch. For all but the simplest patterns, most embroiderers sketch their design onto the fabric. Use washable fabric pencil so you can remove the marks later. An embroidery hoop that attaches to your machine will keep the fabric taut for your stitch. If you are stitching an intricate pattern, you'll also need a stabilizer that adheres to the back of the fabric. The choice of stabilizer depends on the fabric, thread, and type of project, so read the product description carefully before buying.

TL;DR in English: Attach a satin stitch foot to your machine. Draw a design onto the fabric (recommended). Stabilize the fabric.

It's important to be prepared to go out in any sort of weather, be it rain, hail or shine. Have a raincoat, poncho and rain boots option that can be thrown over your costume if needed.  Check the weather beforehand, both in the days leading up to Halloween, and on the day itself. This will help you make the right choices about what to wear and whether you can get away with not wearing an overcoat and tights or an umbrella. If it's hot, don't wear thick leggings, a jacket, or a heavy costume. Avoid layers, and wear something fairly thin. Lighter colors are better than darker ones. Try putting your hair in a ponytail so you won't get extra hot. However, if you need to wear layers (if your outfit is inappropriate), just find another costume. If it's cold, bundle up. Wear a coat, and wear a shirt under your costume so you won't be chilly. Try wearing boots as well.
