There are literally hundreds of olive tree varieties around the world. Some are similar with only slight differences in olive color and flavor. Others are extremely different and have growing preferences which impact the ripening time.  For example, the four main types in California are: Mission, Manzanillo, Sevillano and Ascolano. Even though these are grown in the same state, the diverse climate, coupled with a particular olive strand, yields a range of results. Significantly research your location to determine which type of olive will prosper. Growing from seed, you will get more of a wild variety than any of the parent trees it came from. This may sound easy, but the fruit must be picked directly from the tree so the seed remains alive. Olive trees prosper in climate zones 8-11. These areas have a subtropical climate and mild winters. Pick them in early autumn, after the fruits ripen and are green. Leave the black ones. Don't pick any off the ground and make sure the ones you choose don't have any holes from insects.  Using olives purchased from a grocery store will not work. These have been processed for consumption which means they've been cooked. This process kills the seed inside the pit, so they are no longer viable. Raw olives from the produce section may be viable, though. If you don't have access to an olive tree, many large orchards will ship pits/seeds directly to you. Once you have the olives, gently smash the flesh with a hammer to loosen the fruit around the pit. Cover the crushed olives with warm water and soak them overnight. Stir the water every few hours or so. Jostling them will encourage the fruit to loosen further.  If a hammer isn't available, use a wide knife and smash with the flat side. If you notice a few floating to the surface, gather these and discard. They are likely rotten. Gather the pits and use a scour pad to rub the excess skin off. This is the same pad you probably use on pots and pans. After you've rubbed the skin, thoroughly rinse the pits in warm water for several...

TL;DR in English: Determine the type of tree you want to grow. Gather olives. Place the olives in a bucket. Drain the water. Cut the ends of the pits.

You can use a basin, sink, or bathtub. The water should be a little warmer than room temperature. You’ll need at least 1 quart (0.95 L) of water. or mild conditioner to the water. You’ll need to add roughly 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of baby shampoo for every 1 quart (0.95 L) of water.  The water should take on a slick, soapy consistency once the shampoo is stirred into the water. Baby shampoo helps relax the fibers in your material, making them easier to stretch. Make sure the material is fully immersed in the water and give it at least half an hour to ensure the soap has time to penetrate the spandex material. Use a twisting and squeezing motion until the fabric stops dripping. Don’t rinse the garment, because the soap will keep relaxing the elastic fibers as you stretch the fabric. If you still need to remove more moisture, roll the material between 2 towels and leave it for about 10 minutes. The baby shampoo should allow you to easily stretch the spandex past its normal limits. Once you have it stretched as much as you can, place heavy objects like books, paperweights, or free weights on the edges of the fabric to hold it in place. Make sure your heavy objects won’t be damaged by the moisture from the fabric. You should also avoid using anything painted or varnished, like wood, since this can transfer stains onto your material. If you take off the weights before the spandex material has dried, the fibers will begin to shorten and the fabric will return to its original shape. It will probably take about an hour for the fabric to dry completely.

TL;DR in English: Fill a basin with water of about 85–90 °F (29–32 °C). Add baby shampoo Soak the fabric in the soapy water for about 30 minutes. Squeeze the fabric tightly to wring out excess moisture. Stretch out the fabric and hold it in place with 3–5 lb (1.4–2.3 kg) weights. Allow the fabric to sit for an hour or until it is completely dry.

Pluck your eyebrows a little bit. If you shape your eyebrows already, just pluck any stray hairs. If you don't shape your eyebrows, just pluck the hairs in the middle of both your eyebrows, to avoid having a unibrow. If you don't pluck your eyebrows at all, just leave them; your boyfriend probably likes them the way that they are. Don't go crazy and overpluck! Once you do that, there’s no going back — until they grow out again, that is. Besides, some girls look better with thicker brows. You can also line your brows with a brow pencil for an added dramatic effect. It doesn’t matter what you wear — what does matter is that you feel beautiful in your clothes, whether you’re wearing a little black dress or flannel and leggings. The more confident you are, the more beautiful you'll seem, as beauty and confidence go hand-in-hand. If you feel super-confident in all of your outfits, pick one that you know he likes the most. If you don’t dress up a lot and you and your boyfriend have a special occasion coming up, then wow him with a more dressy dress or a skirt and a cute top.  If you're on the bigger side, don't freak out! Pick out an outfit that shows off your gorgeous curves! Your boyfriend should like you for who you are, so embrace those curves!  If you’re looking to add some spice to your look, try wearing heels if you normally wear flats. They can make you feel taller and more confident. However, if you normally wear heels, try some flats for a change — you may feel happier and more comfortable! Brush or comb your hair, and then style it the way you like it best. Try out some different styles to see which one you think makes you look the most beautiful. If he's complimented your hair in a certain style, try wearing it in that style again some time, since he obviously likes it. Braid, straighten, or curl your hair for a new look. You can put it up or leave it down, depending on how you feel.  There’s no magical hairstyle that will appeal to your boyfriend the most; it’s all up to what makes you feel the most...

For any set of data values, the mean is a measure of central value. Depending on the type of data, the mean tells you the central value of that data. To find the mean, you must first collect your data, either through an experiment of some sort or just from an assigned problem.  For this example, use the assigned data set of 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 4, 8 and 12. This set is small enough to count by hand to find that there are eight numbers in the set. In statistical work, the variable N{\displaystyle N} or n{\displaystyle n} is commonly used to represent the number of data values. The first step of finding the mean is calculating the sum of all the data points. In statistical notation, each value is generally represented by the variable x{\displaystyle x}. The sum of all values is symbolized as Σx{\displaystyle \Sigma x}. The capital Greek letter sigma signifies finding the sum of the values. For this sample data set, the calculation is: Σx=6+7+10+12+13+4+8+12=72{\displaystyle \Sigma x=6+7+10+12+13+4+8+12=72} Finally, divide the sum by the number of values. The Greek letter mu, μ{\displaystyle \mu }, is commonly used to represent the mean. Therefore, the calculation of the mean is: μ=ΣxN=728=9{\displaystyle \mu ={\frac {\Sigma x}{N}}={\frac {72}{8}}=9}

TL;DR in English: Collect and count your data. Find the sum of the data values. Divide to find the mean.

The surface should be a table or countertop that has plenty of space for your glass. It should be clean and clear of any unnecessary items or tools. Be careful when handling the glass, so that you do not accidentally drop or break it. Use a marker to draw the line where you intend to cut the glass. There are plenty of markers available that are designed for writing on glass that you can use for this purpose. Use a ruler to help you draw a line that is perfectly straight by placing the ruler right next to the pen as you draw. Lubricating the cutter will prevent the blade from dulling and make scoring the glass easier. Be sure to dip the cutter in oil before each cut. Oils traditionally used for glass cutters are kerosene oil, motor oil, and lamp oil; however, any type of oil could work. You could also use coconut oil, olive oil, or avocado oil. It is completely up to you! Scoring means slicing the glass with the cutter. Hold the cutter perpendicular to the surface of the glass and slide it firmly along the cut line. Use enough pressure to make a line but not so much that you leave a white residue (which means the glass won’t break cleanly). You will know that you are using the right amount of pressure if you hear a “zip” sound as you cut. It will help to practice making cuts on cheap  sheet glass first.  You do not need to cut the score line very deep. Using too much pressure could prevent the glass from breaking evenly. Be sure to cut from one edge to the other. It is not possible to break the glass evenly if the cut is not from edge to edge. Do not cut over a previously cut score line if you make a mistake. You will need to cut another score line. Doing so will ruin your cutter. Line up the score line with the edge of the table. The largest piece of glass should rest on the table and the smaller piece should be off the table. For large pieces of glass, lift the glass one to two inches off the edge of the table and then bring down firmly with both hands. The glass piece should break off against the edge of...

Downspouts are the parts of the gutter that run vertically from the roof gutter to the ground. They should direct water at least 6 feet (1.8 m) away from the foundation of your house. If yours currently don’t do this, you can add extensions to make them more effective. These extensions are inexpensive and relatively easy to install.  Elbows and extensions can be obtained at any hardware store. Typical cost is just under $20 per extension. This is done by attaching an elbow to the end of the downspout and then connecting the extension piece. The extension piece will be several feet of straight pipe. In most cases, these extensions are installed by simply screwing them on.  Make sure to direct the water at least 6 feet (1.8 m) away from your home’s foundation. If necessary, you can connect the downspouts to PVC pipe and bury the pipe underground to direct the water further from your home. In winter, water deposited onto your driveway can freeze, causing a number of dangerous situations. The ideal spot for water to come out of the extension is on a sloped part of the ground, so that the water continues to drain further away from the house. Make sure the water doesn’t end up on an incline that slopes back down to your home. This will result in the water draining straight back to the foundation of your home. Overflowing gutters and inefficient downspouts can erode the ground around the foundation of your home. This erosion will create a trench in the soil that traps the water there. If you see any gaps like this around your home, fill them in with soil. Firmly pack the soil in place for best results.  Avoid soils with high clay content, since these drain poorly. Purchase granular soil with a high sand content.  You can buy bagged soil at any home improvement store. Buy 1 bag to start the job. Once you know how much area 1 bag covers, you'll have a good idea of how many more you'll need to finish the job based on the size of your home and how steep you want to make the downslope. Instead of just filling the gaps in...

Raise means "lift" and is a transitive verb, meaning it needs a subject and an object (i.e. subject + “raise” + object). Ex. “They voted to raise taxes.” Ex. “Raise the roof!” Rise means "move upward."  It is an intransitive verb and only needs a subject. Ex. “His blood pressure rose.” Ex. “Taxes rose 2% last year.” (Of course, they were raised by someone, but since that isn’t mentioned in this sentence, “rise” is the correct verb to use.)

If you are studying for a test that will be held in a quiet room with a ticking clock, it will be easier to recall the information if you study in a similar environment, like a library or study-hall. Try not to study on the couch or sitting on your bed, since you will probably be taking the test at a desk. This means you break a piece of information, like the number 8374668809, into smaller chunks: 834 466 8809. You can better remember the information in smaller groups than as one long sequence, or by each individual piece of information. Identify the larger similarities in the information you are trying to memorize--like a significant date or location--and categorize the remaining information under these headings. Mnemonic devices are tricks used to organize information into easy to remember statements, images, or words. A common mnemonic device is Every Good Boy Does Fine, which presents the musical notes on a treble clef (EGBDF) in a simple statement. There are almost limitless ways to come up with mnemonic devices. Try making up rhymes, creating acronyms, or an easy to recall visual image. Instead of a single marathon cramming session, which can exhaust your brain, schedule yourself for two study sessions with a break in between. You can learn twice as much information in two three-hour study sessions than you can in one six-hour study session. Just reading the information isn't always enough--you need to make sense of it, too. Summarizing requires you to think about what you've just read, distill it to the essentials, and re-learn it.  When you've finished reading, try to look at the subject from the broadest perspective (this is a book about history) and then keep narrowing it down (this a chapter about World War II; this is a section about the Battle of the Bulge) until you are examining the important lessons, themes, and facts you should take away (this was the last great German offensive, the massive casualties destroyed the German Army).  If you don't want to mark your text book, summarize each...

You will need something to hold the elastic while you tie the pieces of tulle to it. You can use anything cylindrical, as long as it is close to the same thickness as your you'd waist. You can also make your own dress form by taking a piece of poster board, rolling the ends together until they are the same size as your child's torso, and then taping the poster board so that it doesn't unroll. Make sure that the space between the two bands is the same as the space between your child's armpit and waist. Take a tape measure and measure from the waistband to the bottom of the skirt. Double the number that you get, and cut pieces of ribbon according to that number. Fold the ribbon in half, and slide the looped end under the waistband, right between two pieces of tulle. Bring the ends of the ribbon up and through the loop, just as you did when tying the tulle to the top elastic. Gently tug the ends of the ribbon back down. Add more ribbon every few inches until you have gone around the entire waist band. You can make the dress look angled or ragged depending on you you cut the tulle. For an angled dress, cut the tulle on the front shorter, and leave the back untouched. For a ragged dress, cut random pieces of tulle shorter.

Divide your hair into two sections. Twist one side tight and hold it in place with a clip and repeat on next side. Being careful not to let go of the two strands of hair, pull together and tie into ponytail. When you have done that, you should have a slight gap or hole between the twists just at the top of the elastic. Pull rest of the ponytail into the gap and pin in place. "  Take two sections on each side of your head before your ears reach. Brush one side back and plait or twist (depending which suits you) and clip in place. Repeat on both sides. Tie at the back of your head. The higher the better to create the princess crown look. Clips can give your hair dimension and style. Try pulling your hair back and adding butterfly or flower shaped clips. Bows and ribbons can make your hair look shiny and pretty especially if it is a large bow at the back of your hair. Headbands can be so pretty on short hair and make your hair look fuller if pulled all the way back. Also ones with flowers, bows, and so on on them can add height to the headband.

If you are using an iPhone 4 or 4s and your device is jailbroken, you can install a Cydia tweak that will trick Snapchat into thinking your iPhone is a newer model. With this tweak, you'll be able to used Lenses on unsupported devices. This requires that your device be jailbroken and Cydia installed, which is beyond the scope of this article. See Jailbreak an iPod Touch for instructions on jailbreaking iOS devices (the instructions are the same for iPhones and iPads). Follow the iPhone method above to make sure that your Snapchat app is as up to date as possible. You'll find the Cydia app on your iPhone's Home screen. Cydia is the jailbreak package manager, and you'll be installing the Snapchat tweak using it. This tweak is available from the BigBoss repo (one of the defaults), so it should appear without any fussing with Cydia's sources. Make sure you're on the page created by Jon Luca DeCaro. This will take you to the installation queue. The file is small, so it should only take a moment to download. Once the tweak is installed, you can begin using Lenses in Snapchat immediately. Be aware that because your device isn't actually supported, you may encounter errors or glitches. Snapchat may take longer than normal to start when this tweak is installed.

Any herbs can potentially cause adverse side effects, especially if you’re on daily medications. Always tell your doctor when you’re starting an herbal regimen to find out if this is a safe idea. Chamomile in particular can interact with blood-thinning drugs, so don’t use it if you take blood thinners. Just like any other medication, these herbs are only safe when taken in the correct quantities. Follow the dosage size on every product you use and never take too much. If you don’t know the proper dosage for a supplement you’re taking, ask your doctor about it. Most anxiety-reducing herbs can also cause drowsiness, especially if you haven’t taken them before. When you first start taking a new herb, wait a few hours before driving or operating machinery so you don’t suddenly get drowsy in the middle of a task. Herbal supplements can cause a number of adverse side effects like dizziness, nausea, or heartburn. If you don’t like how something makes you feel, then stop taking it.

Many rabbits loved to be brushed, and it's a great way to help them keep their fur clean. Buy a brush made specifically for rabbit fur (often finer-toothed than brushes intended for dogs). Every few days, gently hold your rabbit while brushing its fur. Focus on areas that have bits of bedding or dirt. When you're finished, wash the brush and dry it.  Be sure to handle the rabbit very gently. Not all rabbits enjoy the experience of being brushed. If yours seems startled or upset by brushing, stop the process and try again later. Long-haired rabbits require a little extra fur care. Keep your rabbit's fur trimmed to an inch or so so that it won't become tangled. This will help cut back on shedding and keep the fur clean. If your rabbit hops into a mud puddle, you might want to help it get clean by doing a little spot cleaning. Luckily you can spot clean your rabbit without using water. This is highly advisable, since many rabbits go into shock when they get wet. Sprinkle some cornstarch over the dirty spot and use a fur comb to work out the dirt. Keep going until the fur is clean.  Even if your rabbit is completely covered in mud, it's better to use this dry cleaning method than to dip your rabbit in water. Working section by section, carefully break up the mud clumps, comb out the fur, and use cornstarch to work out the smaller bits of dirt. If absolutely necessary, use water to clean small areas of fur. Dampen a washcloth with warm water and use it to moisten the fur; try not to let the water reach the rabbit's skin. When the patch of fur is clean, use a hair dryer on the coolest setting to gently blow the fur dry. Normal rabbit body temperature ranges from 101F – 103F. Because rabbit skin is very delicate, and rabbits are sensitive to heat, never use a blow dryer on a setting higher than “warm,” and constantly monitor the temperature of the air on the bunny’s skin by placing your hand in its path. If your rabbit has mats in its fur, the best tool for the job is a mat splitter. This breaks up the mat gently...

Salt causes your body to retain water and swell, which can put pressure on the veins and lead to poor circulation. Try halving your salt intake and avoiding sprinkling extra salt on your food after it has been prepared. You should aim to get no more than 2,000 milligrams of salt a day.  Do most of your own cooking, rather than eating out or buying packaged foods. Restaurants and food manufacturers commonly make food with far more salt than you think. Avoid this by cooking your own dishes from whole foods whenever possible. Avoid salty snack foods, fast food, and microwaveable dinners and snacks. Drink plenty of water to flush the salt from your body. You need 2 or so liters a day to stay fully hydrated. If you really like salty foods, consider using a salt substitute. These are available in many health food stores. An important part of keeping your legs and feet healthy and improving circulation is maintaining a healthy body weight. Having extra weight places stress on your circulatory system. Follow a balanced diet and work with your doctor to reach a weight that is right for your body type.  Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats. Make sure you're getting a good amount of fiber through legumes, nuts, oatmeal, and other fiber-rich foods.

It hurts and has a distinctive set of symptoms. People with clavicle fractures often have:  Pain that gets worse when the shoulder moves Swelling Pain when the clavicle is touched Bruising A bump on or near the shoulder A crunching noise or grinding sensation when you move your shoulder Difficulty moving the shoulder Tingling or numbness in your arm or fingers A sagging shoulder This is important so that it can heal as quickly as possible and in the proper position. Bones that don't heal in the proper position often heal with strange-looking lumps.  The doctor will do an X-ray and maybe even a CT scan to figure out exactly where the fracture is. The doctor will put your arm in a sling. This is because when you move your shoulder, your clavicle also moves. It may also reduce the pain by taking some of the weight off the fractured clavicle. Children will have to wear the sling for one to two months. Adults will have to wear it for two to four months. The doctor might have you wear a figure-eight bandage to keep your arm and collarbone in the correct position. If this is the case, it may be necessary to have surgery to hold the pieces in the correct position while they heal. While surgery is unpleasant, it will make sure that it heals without any remaining marks or lumps. The doctor may use plates, screws, or rods to stabilize the bone.

TL;DR in English: Recognize the symptoms of a fractured clavicle. Go to the doctor so the bone can be set properly. Have surgery if the broken ends of the bone don’t connect.

Place a privacy blanket over the patient. Loosen the top bedding at the end of the bed. Fold the bedspread to the foot of the bed and take it away by holding it at the center. Repeat with the blanket.  Only put the bedrail down on the side you’re working on. Never step away from the bed at all when the side rail is down. If the blanket and bedspread are dirty, replace them with clean ones. Otherwise place them over a chair while you change the sheets. Support the person’s head and neck as you remove the pillow. Gently rest the patient’s head back down on the bed. Remove the dirty pillowcase by unrolling it away from you. Put the pillowcase in the laundry hamper. Change your gloves to a clean pair. Try saying, “I’m going to use my hands to gently support your head and neck as I remove the pillow now, so that I can put on a fresh pillowcase for you.” Put the clean pillowcase over your hand and arm so that you can grasp the center of the pillow with your covered hand. Unroll the clean pillowcase onto the pillow. Carefully lift the patient’s head and neck and put the pillow with the clean pillowcase on it under their head. Put a clean flat sheet and a blanket over the patient. Secure the lower corners of the sheet with mitered corners. Move the occupant into a comfortable resting position and adjust the bedding as needed. If the bedspread and blanket were soiled, replace them with new, clean ones. If not, you can put the original ones back on. Dispose of your gloves and wash your hands.  Try telling the patient, “The bed is all clean and changed now. Thank you for your patience!” Remove the dirty items by taking them to a laundry area. Keep them in a plastic bag or laundry bag if they can’t be laundered immediately.

Turn on your oven and get it heated to about 450ºF (230ºC). Heat 1 tablespoon of olive, canola, or other vegetable oil in a cast-iron skillet or another heavy pan on your burner, over high heat. Place your steak in the hot pan once it begins to smoke. Reduce heat and sear on each side for 4 minutes, until brown, for rare. For medium-rare, sear for 1 minute longer and for medium 2 minutes longer. Remove the skillet from the burner and transfer it to the preheated oven and roast for 6-8 minutes. Remove the steak from the oven if it is charred to your liking. Use a small sharp knife, to make a small cut in the middle of the steak. If it looks done, allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes as this allows the flavors to mix and settle. If not, roast for another 1-2 minutes. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes as this allows the flavors to mix and settle. Serve whole or sliced.

To start your third row, chain 1 and then double crochet into the first double crochet stitch in your row. Next work a V-stitch into the first V-stitch space that you created in the previous row. This is the area between the 2 double crochet stitches that you worked into the same stitch. Work 2 double crochet stitches into the V-stitch space to create another V-stitch. After you complete the V-stitch, start the sequence over by double crocheting 1 time into the next double crochet stitch in the row. Then, do another V-stitch into the next V-stitch space. Continue this pattern for the entire round. When you get to the end of the round, connect the ends of the round with a slipstitch. Insert your hook into the top of the first stitch in the round, yarn over and then pull the yarn through both stitches. This will complete your second round. To continue working on the skirt, keep repeating the second round. Alternate between double crocheting 1 stitch and making a V-stitch for the next round and every round after that. Keep going until the skirt is the length you want it to be. When your skirt is the desired length and you have completed your last round, tie off the last stitch. Then, cut the excess yarn a few inches away from the last stitch. To avoid having any hanging pieces of yarn on your dress, you can either trim the loose pieces to about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the last stitch, or use a yarn needle to weave them into the inside of your dress. To weave in the ends, thread the loose end through a yarn needle, and then weave the needle in and out of the stitches inside of the dress to hide it. Tie off the yarn and cut the excess to 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) when it gets to be too short to weave any further.

TL;DR in English: Double crochet into first double crochet stitch. Work a V-stitch into each V space. Repeat the sequence all the way around. Connect the round with a slipstitch. Repeat the round until the skirt is the desired length. Tie off and cut the yarn. Trim or weave in any loose ends.

First, note the height, weight, age, and sex of the body. Note any distinguishing characteristics like birthmarks, scars, or tattoos as well.  You should also take fingerprints at this point, as they may be needed in police investigations. Check the clothing and skin for any marks that look out of the ordinary. Note any droplets of blood, organic materials, and any residues found on clothing. Also make note of any bruises, wounds, or marks on the skin. Photographs may be helpful as well, to document the appearance of the body and any significant findings or unusual things you notice amidst your investigation. Take photographs both with clothes on, as well as nude. Either document your findings with pen and paper notes, or through a dictation device that records what you say and is later typed up by a medical transcriptionist. An X-ray will help you to find any broken or fractured bones, or medical devices, such as a pace-maker. These records can also be used to identify the subject. Check for any dental work. Dental records are often used to identify bodies. Bruising and tearing are common in such cases. It can be used for DNA purposes, or it can help to determine if the victim was on drugs, had been using alcohol, or whether there was poisoning involved. A urine sample should also be taken from the bladder using a syringe. Just like blood, the urine can be used in tests to detect drugs or poisons. Using a scalpel, make one large "Y" shaped incision from each shoulder across the chest, then down to the pubic bone. Spread open the skin and check to see if any ribs are broken. Split the ribcage using rib shears, open it up, and examine the lungs and heart. Note any abnormalities, then take a second blood sample directly from the heart.

While they cannot prevent stretch marks, moisturizing creams and lotions such as cocoa butter or shea butter may help reduce your chances of developing them, by keeping your skin supple.  Some evidence suggests that the act of massaging alone (and not the lotion or cream itself) may protect your skin from stretch marks.  An ointment containing vitamin E can be especially beneficial, because of its rejuvenating effect on skin.  If you plan to use cocoa butter, you should apply it to the affected area at least two times a day for a a couple of months. Retinoids are types of chemical compounds related to vitamin A. While they may not be able to prevent stretch marks, they can lessen the appearance of existing marks.  You can find retinol creams at pharmacies.  Retinoid creams are not safe for use during pregnancy. Retinoids, a derivative of vitamin A, and helps to rebuild collagen and make stretch mark look more like normal skin.  A typical medication used for this purpose is Retin-A or Tretinoin. Massaging your skin or receiving massage therapy can have additional benefits for reducing the incidence of stretch marks. The action of massage promotes skin regeneration, increasing its overall health and appearance.  Rub the skin gently but firmly in a circular motion for at least ninety seconds in the target area. Use an approved lotion, ointment, or oil as desired.  Massaging any area at risk for stretch marks (breasts, thighs, etc.) with something as common as olive oil or cocoa butter may have some effect.

There are a few clothing items that don’t require washing before you wear them.  Swimsuits, outerwear (jackets, etc.), and event wear (formal dresses and tuxedos), for instance, don’t need to be washed before you wear them.  Jeans, likewise, should never be washed when brand-new.  Anything else, however, should be washed even if it’s brand new. Clothes that are brand new often sport two kinds of tags – label tags that describe the product and/or brand, and security tags.  Label tags are easy to spot and remove, since they hang off the clothing item and are affixed with a small plastic clip.  Security tags are often hidden behind pockets or other areas of fabric.  Check your new clothes carefully for all tags before washing them for the first time.  Use a pair of scissors to remove any price tags on the clothing.  Don’t forget to slip the plastic clip out of the clothes, too. Set the tags aside in a safe place.  That way, if you wish to return a piece of clothing, you won't have to dig around in the trash can for the tag later. Before washing anything, carefully read the washing instructions on the item’s care label.  This label will provide guidance regarding exactly how to clean the clothing.  For instance, some types of fabric might require you to hand wash and/or hang dry them.  Other clothes can be cleaned in washing machines, but may need cold or warm water. Garment care instructions are written in order to prevent you from causing your new clothes to lose color when washed.  Most of the time, determining if clothes are likely to leach dye is as easy as consulting the care label.  However, if your new clothes do not have a care label, ask the salesperson who sold them to you what the garment is made of, and whether it is likely to leach dye.  Cotton, wool, and silk are more likely to leach dye than synthetic materials like polyester, nylon, and acrylic.  Wash clothes of these materials separately on the gentle cycle in cold water. If you cannot consult the salesperson who sold you the new clothes, or if...

TL;DR in English: Identify which clothes need to be washed. Remove the tags. Check the care label. Determine which clothes are likely to leach dye if the care label is not specific. Test for dye transfer if necessary. Separate your clothes. Turn your clothes inside out. Unbutton your clothes. Zip up your zippers.

Add a gentle laundry detergent to the machine, choose cold as the water temperature, and begin running the gentle or delicate cycle. When the machine is about three-quarters of the way filled with water, add the shoes and close the lid. Once the washing machine has completely finished its cycle, it’s time to remove the shoes from the machine. Place them in an area that is away from direct sun, heat, or air vents. Allow to dry overnight.

TL;DR in English: Wash in a washing machine on the gentle cycle. Air dry the shoes.

Backing up a hard drive can take more time than a laptop battery has charge. If you plug it in, you won't need to worry about how much battery life you have. Before installing your new hard drive, copy the contents of your laptop's current hard drive to the new one. This will save some time, because you won't have to reinstall all of your applications.   On Windows 8, System Image Backup is the program you can use to backup your hard drive. On Windows 7 and earlier, it's called Backup and Restore.  On Mac OS X 10.5 or newer, you can use Time Machine to back up your hard drive. You can also use the Disk Utility to back up your hard drive to CD or DVD. If you want to start fresh with your new hard drive, don't backup to the new hard drive. Install your operating system, and then install and copy over any files that you need. You will need a SATA-to-USB adapter to connect the two hard drives. You can also put the new hard drive into an external hard drive case which will have a USB connection. Some hard drive manufacturers include their own cloning software, which may already be on your computer. You can also use a third-party application.   Clonezilla is a multi-platform, free, open source disk cloning utility.  There is a large number of cloning software for all of the major operating systems. Before cloning the hard drive, be sure to read the help files to make sure you understand the process. The cloning software will check to make sure the new hard drive is large enough to clone the old hard drive to it. Be sure to unplug and turn off the new hard drive too. Wait at least one minute for the electricity in the laptop to dissipate before continuing. If the battery is in the laptop, it can give you an electric shock. You may also need to remove it to reach the laptop's hard drive. As noted above, you may be able to reach the hard drive through the battery compartment. On other laptops, you may have to take off the entire outer case or detach the keyboard. A few laptops offer direct access to the hard drive...

Are they only a minor annoyance? If you don't feel like your interactions with this person are greatly affecting your quality of life, then maybe you can take a less dramatic route. If someone is annoying and you don't want to hang out with them anymore you can just stop answering their calls and talking to them as much. Don't hang out in the same places or talk to them and pretty soon they will get the hint. This is an incredibly difficult conversation to have and it is inherently hurtful. Try to be as calm about the situation as you can be. Don’t blame the person or get angry, just try to be firm in your decision. Tell them your reason and then leave. Don’t let yourself get drawn into a long discussion  - if you are making this decision you should be completely sure before you say anything.  You have the right to tell someone you don’t want to be around them anymore, but don’t expect them to take it well. This is obviously very difficult for a lot of people. However, if you decide it's really important that you don't speak to this person anymore it's more respectful to tell them in person rather than let the relationship fade out. For example, tell them that you don't think your friendship or relationship is a good fit anymore, and that you would like some space. Tell them that you hope you can be friends down the line, but for now you don't want to talk to them anymore. Do not continue to text the person or call them or sit next to them. Once you have made it clear you don’t want to spend time with that person you must follow through on your statement. If you are wishy-washy you will confuse the person and make the process much more difficult. Once again, try to avoid being rude and hateful to the person. If the person is a real threat to you or the people around you it might be a good idea to consider a restraining order. This is an order that you can get from a court to legally restrict the person from coming near you. This is obviously a very extreme step to take. Only pursue this option if you feel...

TL;DR in English: Evaluate how necessary it is to remove someone from your life. Tell them you don’t want to interact with them anymore. Cut off lines of communication. Consider a court order.

Many itch creams area available for purchase from drug stores and supermarkets. These could help soothe an itch.  Look for the following ingredients when selecting creams, as they're particularly effective in combating itch: camphor, menthol, phenol, pramoxine, diphenhydramine, and benzocaine.  These remedies numb nerve endings and therefore reduce itching. They can be applied every few minutes until symptoms stop.  Try calamine lotion with up to 4% concentration of menthol. You should always be sure to read any warning labels on any products you purchase and check for any potential allergens. Make sure you know what to do in the event of an allergic reaction. Antihistamines are often the first line therapy for people with wide-spread itching.  Use non-drowsy antihistamines during the day. This will include over-the-counter allergy medications such as cetirizine (Zyrtec) and loratadine (Claritin).  Make sure you talk to your doctor about your itch as only she can determine if it's caused by allergies. If it's caused by other factors, antihistamines may not help you with your itching. Hydrocortisone creams are a variety of over the counter topical ointments designed to reduce itch. They can be helpful in some situations, but are not always the right option depending on the cause of your itching.  Hydrocortisone creams only help ease itch caused by certain rashes, such as eczema. Over-the-counter creams are often somewhat weak, containing only 1% cortisone, but if you have eczema or another skin condition such as seborrhea they might still provide some relief.  If your itching is caused by an allergic reaction, bug bites, or dry skin it's doubtful hydrocortisone creams would help at all.  As always, only apply over-the-counter creams as necessary and talk to your doctor if you have a reaction. Itching is usually not a medical emergency, but if your itching is paired with certain symptoms or is severe you should seek medical care.  If your itch is severe enough that it disturbs your sleep, you should see your...

TL;DR in English: Try over-the-counter anti-itch creams. Try oral antihistamines. Know when hydrocortisone creams are effective. Seek medical care when necessary.

If your curry doesn't adequately thicken during the normal cooking time, switch the heat to a simmer. Let the curry simmer over the heat while you keep an eye on it. Keep the curry uncovered while it simmers. As the curry simmers, you can expect it to reduce. Stir the curry as it reduces to test the thickness. Let the curry reduce until it's as thick as you want. Time varies greatly depending on the type of curry, so keep an eye on your curry as it thickens. It may reduce in a few minutes or it may need 10 to 20 minutes to thicken. Sometimes, curry can reduce too much when simmering. This may result in a curry that's too thick. Simply add a little bit of water at a time in this case until your curry gets to the right consistency.

This product, which can be purchased in stores or online, is specifically designed to prevent your mirrors from fogging. To use it, either wipe it or spray it directly onto your mirror and then pat your mirror down to dry.  This is the most successful method of keeping your mirror from fogging and can last for up to 27 days at a time. Keep a bottle under the sink in your bathroom and do a quick spray every month. Glycerine can be purchased at pharmacies or online. To use it, pour a splash of glycerine into a bucket of water and mix the mixture thoroughly. Dip a rag into the mixture and use your rag to wipe down and clean off your mirror. The glycerine will keep the mirror from fogging up next time you use the shower. Glycerine is non-toxic, so it’s fine to get it on your hands. The pad is electrical and adheres to the back of your mirror and is guaranteed to clear fog from even the steamiest of bathrooms. This method is both expensive and time consuming and is therefore not recommended if you are renting your home.  Because the pad utilizes electricity and because you will have to remove your mirror to install it, you should hire a professional to take care of it. Depending on the size of your mirror, the pad will cost at minimum, upwards of 100 dollars.

TL;DR in English: Purchase Rain-X Interior Glass Anti-fog. Try adding glycerine when you wash your mirrors. Have a defogging pad installed for your mirror.

Instead of water, add 3 bottles of ale or beer to the pot. Drop in 6 lemon halves, as well as a head of garlic split in half. Let it come to a boil, and boil the crab for 5 minutes before removing it with tongs. Discard the beer, lemon, and garlic when you're done. You can add sliced lemons or even a few sliced oranges or limes to the pot before you start boiling it. Just cut the citrus in half or quarters, and throw it in the pot as-is. Aim for 1-2 citrus fruits per 1 pound (0.45 kg) of crab. Make sure to wash the citrus thoroughly before throwing it in the pot. You can purchase crab or shrimp boil seasoning in the store. Then, just toss it in before you get the water boiling. This seasoning works especially well if you want to boil potatoes, corn, and sausage before throwing in the crab. Make your own crab boil seasoning with 8 bay leaves, 3 tablespoons (16 g) of coriander seeds, 4 tablespoons (22 g) of mustard seeds, 2 tablespoons (11 g), of whole allspice, 1 teaspoon (2 g) of whole cloves, 2 tablespoons (13 g) of dill seeds, and 1 tablespoon (5 g) of crushed red pepper flakes. Use the whole amount for 5 pounds (2.3 kg) of crabs or a combination of crabs and other food. Bay leaves are a fairly common spice for crab. Add 2-3 leaves before the water starts to boil. You can also throw in 10-20 whole peppercorns for a bit of added kick. You can add these in addition to other seasonings.

TL;DR in English: Replace the water with beer, lemon, and garlic. Add citrus to the water. Use crab boil or cajun seasoning. Throw in a couple of bay leaves and a handful of black peppercorns.

A recirculating or front-venting microwave can be installed beneath a counter without any further effort. Other types may require more advanced ventilation installation. Be aware of the requirements of your model before you begin installation. Other types of microwave may be more suited for an over the range installation, require a new ventilation hood, or even necessitate a full new ventilation system. Follow these methods for finding and marking these vertical wall supports. Your microwave will need to be fastened to at least one of them.  If you have one, use an electronic or magnetic stud finder to search for nails. Alternately, tap lightly on the wall with a hammer. When you hear a solid "thunk" instead of a hollow sound, you've likely found a wall stud. If you're not certain whether you've found a stud, drill a test hole and use a bent wire or coat hanger to search for solid objects in your wall.  Once you've located the center of one wall stud, its closest neighbors are usually located either 16 inches or 24 inches to each side.  Use a small nail to probe the wall stud(s) and determine the width.  Draw a vertical line down the center of the wall studs once you've found them. This flat metal plate should be level and the top tabs should butt against the base of the cabinet or cabinet frame.  If your microwave came with a wall template, tape that instead as a drilling guide before you attach the plate. Use a level to ensure your microwave isn't installed at a slant. Remove any decorative trimming from the cabinet preventing you from placing the mounting plate correctly. If the front of the cabinet has an overhang, place the mounting plate below the back of the cabinet by an equal amount. Otherwise the overhang will block access to the microwave. For a microwave that requires base-of-cabinet attachments, you may need to saw off the overhang instead. Follow these steps to determine which size holes to drill and where.  The bottom edge of the plate should have an area covered in holes. Use a marker to draw...

Dip a hand brush into a bucket of water and scrub down all the areas where you, or any other people, sat during the steaming. 30 seconds of scrubbing should be enough for regular cleaning. Rinse the wood down with clean water when you are finished. Keep your brush and bucket near the door to remind you to clean as you leave the sauna. If you notice stains on the wood from sweat, you don’t want those to stay. Dip your hand brush into a solution of warm water and a mild detergent and   Use towels in the sauna to prevent stains. You don’t necessarily want to wear one during the steam, but at least lay one down on the bench where you will be sitting. This will prevent too much sweat, dirt, and dead skin from getting into the wood, which is what causes stains. If stains are particularly difficult to get out, use a light sandpaper to sand down that part of the wood. If you tracked dirt, hair, or other stuff on to the floor, use a vacuum to pick up any loose particles. Even if you don’t see any dirt, vacuum every few weeks to get anything that might be in there. These include drains or ventilation where moisture may gather, places that might not dry as quickly and can breed pathogens. Take them out of the sauna, and scrub down with a disinfectant to prevent mold and bacteria.

Depending on the auction rules, you may need to pay for the home in cash on the day of the purchase or soon after. However, this isn’t always the case. You may be able to finance your purchase with a pre-approved mortgage. The auction listing will explain the rules for the home you’re interested in buying. If you don’t have enough cash to buy a home that doesn’t allow financing, you may be able to get a personal loan to help cover the difference. However, you’ll need to get the loan before you bid on the home. You can check rates online or visit your local banks and credit unions to discuss rates in person. You may receive a better rate if you go through a bank or credit union where you have an account. Choose the rate that's lowest or offers the best terms.  Review the terms and conditions to make sure they are favorable to you. In some cases, lower rates may carry stricter terms and conditions or may come with higher origination fees. Origination fees are charged when your loan is issued. Count this amount in the cost of your loan. if you can’t pay cash. If your auction allows financed bidders to purchase property, apply for your mortgage ahead of attending the auction. This allows you to prove that you can complete the purchase if you’re the winning bidder. Bring your prequalification letter with you to the auction to provide as evidence that you have the funds. Some auction houses have preferred lenders that they encourage buyers to work with. You can check the listing for this information or call the auction house on the listing for more information. It’s important to go into the auction knowing how much you can pay, especially if payment is expected on the day of purchase. Ask your real estate agent for recent sales listings for comparable properties in the area. As another option, do an internet search to find how much comparable homes are selling for in your area. Then, determine how much money you can actually pay. Determine the maximum you can afford by adding together the cash you have plus the...

Fresh water should be provided for your puppy at all times; there's no need for a schedule. Refill your puppy’s water dish often and wash it out once per day to keep it clean. Bring a bottle of water and a collapsible dish with you when you travel. Puppies need a quiet area to eat their food. Make sure that your puppy has a nice quiet space to eat and prevent other animals from getting to your puppy's food bowl. If your puppy feels threatened while eating, he may start guarding his food bowl. This resource guarding behavior can escalate and become dangerous to you and others. Try placing your puppy's food and water bowls in a quiet corner of your kitchen or at the end of a hallway. Make sure that your puppy can access his food and water bowls with ease. Puppies are like babies in that they like to stick to a schedule. Meal feeding also helps with house training, since the puppy will need to relieve itself on a schedule.  Bear in mind that a puppy has a small stomach and he cannot take in his calorie requirements for the day in two large meals. However, as he grows his stomach expands relative to his frame and he can cope with larger, less frequent meals.  If your puppy is under 3 months of age, then feed him 4 meals a day. If your puppy is between 3 - 6 months of age, then feed him 3 meals a day (4 for toy breeds). If your puppy is 6 months or over, feed him 2 meals a day. If you are often not home during the day, you'll need a way to feed your puppy while you are gone. For example, you could come home at lunch or arrange for a neighbor to feed your puppy in the middle of the day. You can also purchase feeders that operate on a timer that will make food available at certain times during the day. This schedule will only be for a few months, then you can feed morning and night when your puppy is older. Most puppies need to eliminate 15-20 minutes after eating a meal, so it is a good idea to get into the habit of taking your puppy to go potty right after he finishes eating. Doing so will help prevent accidents...

Painter's caulk helps the primer and paint adhere better to the slate surface. Squeeze the painter's caulk around the tile's surface and spread it around with your fingers until you achieve a thin, even coating.  The caulk coating should be thin and translucent for an even coat. Scrape off any excess caulk with a razor. If you notice any dips or bumps, smooth them with sandpaper or epoxy before applying the caulk. Unlike primer and paint, you don't have to wait for painter's caulk to dry. Using a paint brush or a spray can, depending on the container, cover the tile from one side to the other. Apply the primer in thin, long strokes for an even coating.  Use a paint primer that is specifically made for painting tiles for a strong blond.  Let the primer dry for 30-60 minutes before applying the paint. Using a paintbrush or roller, apply a coat of paint in long, even strokes. With minimal overlapping, work your way from one end of the tile to the other.  Latex or epoxy paint generally adheres best on slate tiles. If the paint has a hard time spreading, add small amounts of paint thinner until you reach an easier consistency to work with. Letting each layer dry for 30-60 minutes apply additional layers of paint using the same method you did to add the first one. The more coats you apply, the brighter and more opaque your tile's color will be.

The infection is caused by spores of the Cryptococcus fungus carried by contact or infected by breathing-in the microscopic fungus (invisible to the eye). It is not transmitted from person to person or from animal to person. A person with cryptococcosis is not contagious. This tiny (microscopic) fungus similar to yeast (previously known to grow in the environment of certain warm, tropical countries) is parasitic and causes serious diseases in humans and animals. Why the fungus appeared on the east coast of Vancouver Island, B.C. in 1999 is not clear. It may have been imported or it may have always existed on Vancouver Island and increased in prevalence due to some climate or environmental changes.  Various Cryptococcus fungus are found growing and spreading in the environment in B.C. and in other places including tropical and subtropical climates in countries such as Brazil and Australia. The C. gattii variety of the cryptococcal fungus lives "on trees and in the soil". It was discovered due to finding recent human and animal cases of cryptococcusis, fungal illness, in the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health Department Regions, and it is now being found in other areas as well.  In Washington State, U.S.A., C. gattii was first identified in cats in 2005; since that time dogs, cats and pet birds have been found to be infected. A small number of human cases have been reported from western Washington.  It is not certain how Cryptococcus gattii spread from Vancouver Island to the North American mainland. It may have been transported through the air or on people, vehicles and products traveling from the Island to the mainland. More recently it has been found in the states of Washington and Oregon, as well as in the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Regions. C. gattii, C. grubii, and C. neoformans. The C. neoformans and C. grubii cause illness mainly in people with "impaired immune systems". On the other hand, C. gattii can cause illness in otherwise healthy people as well as those with impaired immunity. Although C....

You can purchase thin sheets of wax from a craft store that can be punched or cut into shapes to decorate the surface of a pillar or free-standing candle. Using wax sheets in your desired colors, use a craft punch, cookie cutter, or sharp knife to cut the wax sheet into shapes. To affix the shapes to the candle: Use a heat gun or blow dryer to soften a wax cut-out, then warm the candle in the spot where you want to attach the shape. Press the shape into the outside of the candle, and hold it there for a minute to allow the wax to dry. This method will work best on a light candle that’s not in a mold, because you are going to use tissue paper to transfer a pattern, image, or decoration directly onto the candle. Choose the image or pattern you want to decorate your candle, and then:  Gently tape a piece of white tissue paper to a piece of regular printer paper, and print the pattern onto the tissue paper. Wrap the printed tissue paper around the candle and cut the paper to size. Or, if you're using an image, cut out the shape of the image. Use a non-toxic glue to affix the tissue paper in place around the candle. Wrap the candle in wax paper, and apply heat from a heat gun or blow dryer. As the wax heats up, it will saturate and absorb the tissue paper, leaving only the image or pattern on the paper visible. Remove the wax paper and allow the candle to dry.  To use this decorative method on a jar candle, print off your pattern onto tissue paper (of any color), and then use a paint brush to apply liquid craft glue to affix the tissue paper to the outside of the jar. You can use opaque paint markers and glitter pens to paint a jar candle or directly onto the candle itself. You can experiment with shapes, designs, images, or anything else you desire. Use the paint pen for the major design, and then add points of interest with the glitter pen. For festive ideas, consider painting a tree or ornaments for Christmas, leaves for fall or Thanksgiving, hearts for Valentine’s day, flowers for spring, and snowflakes for...

TL;DR in English:


Measure the length of the opposite side of a triangle. Plug your values into the equation: sine (x) = opposite ÷ hypotenuse. Say that the length of the opposite side is 5 and the length of the hypotenuse is 10. Divide 5 by 10, which is equal to 0.5

Remember that every right triangle has one angle equal to 90 degrees. Measure the length of 2 of the triangle's sides. Use the sine function if you know the length of the opposite side and the hypotenuse. Use the cosine function if you know the length of the adjacent side and the hypotenuse. Use the tangent function if you know the length of the opposite side and the adjacent side.

Boat soap is designed to reduce residue and is better for the environment than dish soap, so it's your best bet for cleaning your boat. Mix together 2 parts warm water with 1 part boat soap in a large pail or bucket. Dip a mop into the soapy mixture and then mop along the surfaces of your boat. You should see dirt come up as you mop.  You can find boat soap at most home improvement and boat supply stores. You can use non-skid cleaners to clean the deck of the boat where the plastic is molded in and hard to clean. Once your boat is clean, walk along it, looking for cracks. It can be helpful to run your hand over the surface of your boat as you walk, since you might feeI a crack before you see it.  If you find small, hairline cracks in your boat, you can repair it yourself by using epoxy. Fiberglass epoxy is available at most boat supply stores. Follow the instructions on the epoxy for repairing the cracks. If the crack is deep or larger than a hairline crack, you'll need to take your boat to a professional to have it restored. A gel acid-based stain remover will work best to remove stubborn stains. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection before you apply the remover. Use a rag to swab the cleaner across the stain and then let it sit for 20 minutes. Use a hose to rinse off the remover.  Depending on how bad the stain is, you may need to apply more than 1 coat. If you find that one type of stain is resistant to the remover, look for a specialty remover. You might need one to remove mold, black streaks, or rust. Your boat likely has a lot of items that can't be removed, like metal fittings and railings. Use painters' tape to tape these areas off. It will protect them from getting scratched when you restore the gelcoat.

TL;DR in English: Clean your boat's surface with boat soap and warm water. Check for damage or cracks. Use acid-based stain removers to remove mineral and organic stains. Tape off any fittings that could be damaged.

Make a point of approaching the professor after the class to say a quick “hello” and introduce yourself. Let the professor know you are excited about their class and look forward to learning from them. Mention your name and try to chat with the professor about your educational interests or background. For example, you may say, “Hi, my name is Selena Gomez. I’m a second year med student. I’m looking forward to taking your class.” Most professors will hold office hours outside of class time and like it when students make the effort to attend them. Go to the professor’s office hours to introduce yourself one on one.  Come prepared with a question or thought about that week’s class. Bring along notes from class so you can discuss them with the professor. Having notes will give you something to chat about during the office hours. Most professors have open office hours, or office hours by appointment. Show up on time for your appointment with the professor so they are not kept waiting. Be friendly to the professor when you spot them walking around campus or in the hallway between classes. Say “hello” to them at social events on campus. Doing this will let them know you are open and friendly. You may try some small talk with the professor when you see them and they do not seem in a hurry. You may say, “How’s your day going?” or “Great to see you.”

TL;DR in English: Say “hello” to the professor after the first class. Go to the professor’s office hours. Greet the professor when you see them around campus.

By definition, a right triangle will always have one angle that's 90 degrees, even if it's not labeled as such. So, you will always know at least one angle and can use trigonometry to find out the other 2 angles. The longest side of a triangle is called the “hypotenuse.” The “adjacent” side is adjacent (or next to) to the angle you're trying to determine. The “opposite” side is opposite to the angle you're trying to determine. Measure 2 of the sides so you can determine the measure of the remaining angles in the triangle. Plug your values into the equation: sine (x) = opposite ÷ hypotenuse. Say that the length of the opposite side is 5 and the length of the hypotenuse is 10. Divide 5 by 10, which is equal to 0.5. Now you know that sine (x) = 0.5 which is the same as x = sine-1 (0.5). If you have a graphing calculator, simply type 0.5 and press sine-1. If you don't have a graphing calculator, use an online chart to find the value. Both will show that x = 30 degrees. For this type of problem, use the equation: cosine (x) = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse. If the length of the adjacent side is 1.666 and the length of the hypotenuse is 2.0, divide 1.666 by 2, which is equal to 0.833. So, cosine (x) = 0.833 or x = cosine-1 (0.833). Plug 0.833 into your graphing calculator and press cosine-1. Alternatively, look up the value in a cosine chart. The answer is 33.6 degrees. The equation for tangent functions is tangent (x) = opposite ÷ adjacent. Say you know the length of the opposite side is 75 and the length of the adjacent side is 100. Divide 75 by 100, which is 0.75. This means that tangent (x) = 0.75, which is the same as x = tangent-1 (0.75). Find the value in a tangent chart or press 0.75 on your graphing calculator, then tangent-1. This is equal to 36.9 degrees.

Opt for fleece. Put on a mid-layer sweater. Wear a soft shell for windy conditions. Put on mid-layer pants, if necessary.

and promotional fliers.  Distribute these items around local art galleries and fairs.  Ask local vendors if you can leave some of your business cards with them or post a flier on their community bulletin boards. Consider contacting vendors that would have the appropriate clientele for your artwork. Also advertise at local restaurants and stores.  This will will allow you to catch people of all interests. Those that are closest to you are your biggest advocates. Let your friends, family and co-workers know that you are selling your art. Show them some of your favorite pieces so they can pass on first-hand information about your art for sale. Be sure to also give them some of your promotional materials so they can hand out your contact information. Most communities host a variety of art fairs throughout the year. Research the various options and decide which one, or ones, would be most appropriate for the type of art you are selling.  For example, if you intend on selling paintings, go to one which highlights paintings in particular. Keep in mind that it often costs money to have a booth at these fairs, but consider the fee an investment in your business. Putting up a little money will likely pay off once you sell a few of your pieces. If you know some people who may be intrigued by your work, host a small get together at your house or at one of their houses. You can also host a private showing to only a handful of guests. Some people are more likely to attend an intimate event like this than an art fair. Ask all of those invited to bring a guest and, again, you are broadening your client base just by word of mouth.

TL;DR in English: Make business cards Tell friends, family, and co-workers about your art. Display your art  at a local fair. Take your art to interested patrons.

Daily blood sugar testing with a glucometer is advised to avoid episodes of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. This will also help assess your ideal insulin requirement. Learning to use a glucometer is important. Select a brand that has easily obtainable glucose strips. In the beginning you may have to check your blood sugar levels three to four times a day or even at nighttime. Managing your insulin levels improves carbohydrate metabolism and reduces blood sugar levels. Insulin therapy is individualized according to weight, lifestyle, age, family support, and occupation. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when administering insulin injections. If medications are required, some physicians recommend starting with oral blood sugar control medications such as metformin or glyburide. If oral agents fail, the traditional treatment involves an intermediate insulin such as NPH in the morning and bedtime, and a short acting insulin with some or all meals. The dosing depends on weight, trimester of pregnancy, and how elevated the blood sugars are.

TL;DR in English: Monitor blood glucose (sugar) as recommended by your healthcare provider. Know the benefits of insulin therapy. Know when you should have insulin therapy.

This fabric is available in different weights and is great for wicking and insulation. Cotton won't wick moisture or insulate as well. Choose fabric that's a cross between form-fitting and bulky. This way, you'll get the insulation and wicking power you need without struggling to get your outer layer on over the middle layer. Wear a sweater or jacket with a half- or full-zip with standup collar. This will keep you warmer. Look for underarm zippers known as “pit vents” to allow sweat to escape properly. Soft shells are form-fitting yet stretchier for comfort. They come in wind-resistant and windproof varieties. Look for soft shells with a waterproof DWR coating on the outside. This layer might be optional with current fabric technology for base and outer layers. Ask the shop staff for help if you're new to skiing. If you do need mid-layer pants, go for something relatively tight to allow the outer layer to slide on with no problem.

Transfer the food to a saucepan and add ¼ cup (59 ml) of water to prevent the food from scorching. Turn the heat to medium and put on a lid. Stir regularly as the food heats up. Depending on how much food you have, reheating could take about 20 minutes.  Ideal foods to reheat in this way include soups, stews, liquids, beverages, and chili. For beverages, avoid adding additional water. Add a tablespoon (15 ml) of cooking oil or butter to a skillet or cast iron pan. Heat the skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add your food. Cook for about five minutes, and then use a spatula to flip the food. Cook for another five minutes, or until it’s heated through.  This method is ideal for noodles, pasta, rice, or other grains. You can also use this method with beans. Frying in a bit of oil will make the noodles or rice slightly crispy. Another way to reheat rice and other grains is in a pot with some extra water. The water will add moisture back to the grains, and will bring the grains back to their original consistency. Pour the grains into a pot with ½ cup (118 ml) of water or broth. Heat the grains on medium until warmed through. As the grains cook, stir them every five minutes to ensure even heating. Turning on the oven for a slice of pizza is a waste of energy, and you can actually get a crispier crust by pan frying. Heat a dry cast iron pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the pizza and place a lid over the pan. Heat the pizza for three to four minutes, until it’s hot and the cheese is gooey. Add a tablespoon (15 ml) of oil or butter to a skillet, wok, or cast iron pan. Heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add your meat or stir fry and turn the heat to low. Cook and stir regularly for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dish is warmed through.

TL;DR in English: Heat liquids and saucy foods in a saucepan. Pan fry rice and noodles. Reheat grains with extra water. Crisp up pizza slices in a skillet. Warm up meat and stir fries in a pan.

Hydroquinone is a very effective bleaching cream which can significantly reduce the appearance of age spots.  It is available in concentrations up to 2% over-the-counter, but higher concentrations will require a prescription from your doctor. Be aware that hydroquinone has been banned in many European and Asian countries, due to its potential carcinogenic properties. However, it is still widely available in the US. Retin-A is an excellent anti-aging skin care product which is used to combat fine lines and wrinkles, improve the skin's texture and elasticity and fade discoloration and sun damage, including age spots.  Retin-A is a vitamin A derivative which is available in cream or gel form, in a variety of different strengths. It is only available by prescription, so you will need to see your doctor before you start using it. It helps to eliminate age spots by exfoliating the skin, removing the outer hyperpigmented layer and revealing the fresh, new skin underneath. The combination of these 2 ingredients has been shown to help lighten age spots. Talk to your dermatologist to see what they recommend, or check labels on products to find 1 that contains both. You may be able to find a skin cream or lotion that contains both of these ingredients. Sunscreen won't actually help to reduce the appearance of your existing age spots, but it will prevent new ones from forming (as they are caused primarily by sun damage).  In addition, the sunscreen will prevent your existing sunspots from becoming any darker or more noticeable. You should wear a sunscreen with a zinc oxide base and an SPF of at least 15 every day, even if it's not hot or sunny.

TL;DR in English: Use hydroquinone cream. Try Retin-A. Look for products that contain salicylic and ellagic acid. Apply sunscreen before heading outdoors.

If you are in an altercation, reaching out to an authority figure can keep you out of trouble. Schedule an appointment with your counselor and ask them for advice. You can explain your situation using fake names if that helps you feel more comfortable about opening up. You can reveal as much or as little as you choose. Overall, your counselor will just want to make sure that you are safe. There is no shame in asking your peers for help if you are in trouble. Call a friend that you trust. A friend can also have your back if you need them during the fight. Come up with a signal word between the two of you so that your friend will know right away if you're in trouble. If you are anticipating a fight and hope to avoid it, walk around with a large group of people or with a trustworthy friend. If you outnumber the bully or if there is a large audience, he or she will feel less emboldened to threaten or intimidate you. Trusted adults can give you helpful advice on how to handle a bully or how to evade a fight. Ask an adult you trust if they have ever gotten into a fight, and ask how they would handle the situation if they were in your shoes. Coaches, parents, and other mentors can give you tips on the best ways to defend yourself and won't judge you if you admit to feeling scared. Keep your life stress-free and get help from an adult who cares about your wellbeing. Remember that it's takes strength and bravery to try to avoid a fight altogether.

These are generally available at most large retail stores, but you may find more options at beauty supply stores. A waxing product such as Nair Roll-On Wax is a good choice because it has a roll-on applicator that dispenses an even amount of wax over the surface. These can be bought (sometimes coming with the wax) or homemade. It's a good idea to make strips of varying sizes (from 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm)). If you opted for the homemade route, search your closet for an old t-shirt or piece of cotton fabric. Cut it up into strips like you would any other material. Bonus -- if you take good care of them, you can use them again after a thorough washing (if your wax is water-soluble). This is super important--the wax needs to stick.  Trim the hair to 1/4 - 1/2 inch (.63 - 1.2 cm) for easiest removal.  Apply baby/talcum powder to the parts you´re going to wax. This makes the wax stick to the hair and NOT your skin, and significantly reduces the amount of pain. If you pain starts increasing, apply more powder. Especially if the environment you're doing it in is rather warm. Have a paper towel or cloth nearby. For waxes that dissolve in water, a damp cloth is fine. Otherwise, you may moisten a cotton ball with simple baby oil. That removes excess wax very well and leaves skin smooth. Apply the wax in the same direction the hair grows, in thin strips.  With one hand, stretch that skin taut. Use paper towels to grip the skin so that it does not slip. Rip off the wax with the other hand in the opposite direction to hair growth. Doing this gives you better results and hurts much less.  Do not apply too much wax as the waxing strips may not adhere to the hair. Place a mirror between your legs so that you can wax the areas you cannot see. A compact mirror is sufficient. Because the bikini area is very sensitive, it may take more than one session to remove all the hair.  Hair in some areas may be easier to remove than others. This is contingent upon how thick the hair is. You may have to stop if the area becomes too red and...

Remove 1 pastry sheet from the packaging. Place the pastry sheet in the microwave on high for 30 seconds.

Even if you have enough fat in your diet, you still won’t absorb vitamin A well if you have a medical condition that limits your body’s ability to absorb the fats you eat. Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, disease of the liver or gall bladder, cystic fibrosis, and problems with your pancreas can affect your fat absorption. These will require treatment or additional vitamin A supplementation to get your RDA of vitamin A. How you absorb fat is also decreased if you have had part or all of your stomach removed, such as after certain kinds of weight-loss surgeries. Alcohol can interfere with your body’s ability to absorb vitamin A (and other needed nutrients).Stop drinking alcohol altogether, or limit your alcohol intake to, say, one glass daily to maintain good health and promote vitamin absorption. The prescription medication Orlistat is used to help people lose weight, but because of how it works it can interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamin A. Olestra, a fat substitute sometimes added to food, can cause similar problems. Avoid these if you require a vitamin A supplement. If you are at risk for vitamin A deficiency, speak to your healthcare provider about any medications that you are taking. Some cholesterol medicines called bile acid sequestrants, like cholestyramine and colestipol, can block vitamin A absorption; another kind of cholesterol medicine, called statins, can actually help vitamin A absorption. Omeprazole (Prilosec) is used for heartburn and reflux, and can cause absorption issues, as can the antibiotic Neomycin. Switching to different medicines with your doctor's advice can help. Discuss your medicines and your vitamins with your doctor, to avoid any interactions. Say something like, “My dietician wants me to take a vitamin A supplement. Will that cause any problems with the medicines you prescribe to me?”

TL;DR in English: Treat digestive conditions medically. Drink less alcohol. Avoid weight-loss medications. Change your medicines that block vitamin A absorption.

Most students of philosophy will need to read through philosophical readings several times before they fully understand them. As you advance in your studies, you may work out your own system of reading. At the start, however, it can be helpful to work through a reading four times.  During the first reading, look at the table of contents, key points, and/or glossary, then quickly scan through the passage itself. Move quickly, reading one page in roughly 30 to 60 seconds. Underline terms and ideas that jump out at you in pencil. Mark any unfamiliar terms, as well. For the second reading, flip through the text at a similar pace, but stop to look up any terms or phrases you do not recognize and cannot define by context. Your focus should still be on identifying key terms and ideas. Check off paragraphs you think you understand in pencil, and mark those you do not understand with a question mark or "x." During the third reading, go back to the sections you marked with a question mark or "x" and read them in greater detail. Check them off if you reach an understanding, or mark them with a second question mark or "x" if you do not grasp their meaning. During the fourth reading, quickly review the text again to remind yourself of the main focus and key arguments. If you're reading for class, identify the marked passages you had difficulty with so that you can ask questions. The only way to familiarize yourself with philosophy is to immerse yourself in the philosophical works of others. If you do not read philosophy, you will not be able to speak or write it.  When studying philosophy for a class or degree program, you should always do the readings assigned to you. Listening to others' interpretations of those readings in class is not a good substitution. You need to review and grapple with the ideas on your own instead of having others do the work for you. Reading on your own is also beneficial. As you become more familiar with different branches of philosophy, you can gradually begin selecting your own readings on...

TL;DR in English: Read through the text multiple times. Read as much as possible. Consider the context of the work. Determine the theses. Look for supporting arguments. Assess each argument. Evaluate the argument as a whole.

Use the microwave if you need to thaw your pastry sheets as fast as possible. The puff pastry won't need to be microwaved or thawed if it can be folded easily. The pastry sheet should be cold to the touch when you use it. If the sheet is room temperature or warmer, return it to the fridge and give it some time to chill. Don't manipulate a pastry sheet that's not fully thawed as this could lead to the sheet tearing. Place the towels and pastry sheet on the plate in your microwave. Turn the microwave to the "high" setting and turn the microwave on for 15 seconds. When the 15 seconds are up, flip the paper towels and pastry sheet and turn the microwave on for another 15 seconds. If the pastry sheet doesn't fold easily after coming out of the microwave, place it back in on "high" for another 5 seconds on each side. Keep microwaving for 5 seconds on each side until the pastry sheet folds easily.
