Clean your vagina. Prepare the suppository. Get your body into position. Open the lips of your vulva. Push the suppository into your vagina. Dispose of the applicator.

These are the quickest and most effective treatments for whitening.  During these treatments your dentist will put a protective gel on your gums and put an oral shield on your mouth to protect your gums and cheeks. They will then apply a bleaching agent to your teeth around your braces. Typically, these are made of varying concentrations of strong hydrogen peroxide. Most in-office treatments will use a special light to activate the bleaching solution, though other treatments are available using in-office bleaching trays. The bleaching solution needs to sit under the special light for at least an hour in most cases.  Sometimes the treatments will cause discomfort in the short-term. Bleaching gels can irritate gums and make teeth more sensitive. You may need more than one treatment for optimal results, depending on your dietary habits and the shade you want. These can be expensive and whitening treatments are not always covered by dental insurance. Since these treatments are done only once or twice, the bleaching solution may not soak into the enamel under your brackets.  For optimal results, wait to use this method until after your braces are taken off. However, if your brackets are on the back of your teeth this method is ideal as bleaching gel is only applied to the front of your teeth. This method might be a good option for you if your teeth have darkened since you got braces. Since it might not bleach the area under your brackets, it may be best to try other alternatives first. In-office whitening can be very expensive.  The average cost of in-office whitening procedures is $650.00. Compared to other very effective at-home treatments, this procedure costs much more. You will have to go to a dentist's office to get this treatment done. Not all dentists offer this service. The gel can have a very unpleasant taste and the cheek guards can be uncomfortable, as you will have to keep your mouth open for an hour or so. It may require more than one session to completely whiten your teeth. The best results come...

TL;DR in English: Consider in-office professional whitening treatments. Prepare to spend at least an hour to an hour and a half at each treatment. Understand that with this method you might have darker areas under your brackets. Be aware of the drawbacks of this procedure.

Try to keep a sense of normalcy so your child will not feel like the new baby is changing everything. Especially try to avoid major upheavals such as potty-training or a new childcare situation right before or after the birth. Your child can hold the baby (even toddlers can do this under close supervision, sitting down, with the baby on a pillow in the child's lap), sing to the new baby, try to "teach" the baby to smile, read to the new baby, and so on. For example, you can make a "Welcome Home" card with the child, spending quality time during the making and also making a big deal out of giving the card to both mother and baby.  , "Baby, look what your smart big brother did, he tied his own shoes/made his own bed/found the remote for me" and "Baby, when you grow up, Big Sister can show you how to play Candyland." Many many many times your older children will have to wait while you take care of the baby. Every once in a while, make the baby wait. If you're taking a mother-and-baby exercise class, for example, make a point of doing something special with your older child about equally often.  This will help your child see that there's still time for just the two of you. Even a trip to the grocery story without the baby can be fun for your older child if you're not too exhausted to be nice. Your child will naturally resent the baby if he or she feels the baby is preventing your family from doing fun things together. Show your child that the new baby is part of the family - this is important because young children sometimes do not understand that the baby is here to stay - by planning family outings where you can bring the baby along to share in the fun.

TL;DR in English: Keep the child's daily routines as normal as possible before, during, and after the birth. Figure out positive ways for your child to interact with the baby. Reward and reinforce behavior that's welcoming and positive, so that the child associates being a good sibling with having a happy parent and a happy family. As much as you possibly can, ignore or overlook behavior that's unwelcoming and negative - the very last thing you want to do is to teach your older child that your precious attention and time can be obtained just as easily by pinching the baby or by saying "I hate the baby" as by offering to bring the baby a clean diaper. Try talking to the baby about the older child when the older child is nearby, e.g. Don't *always* drop what you're doing as soon as the baby cries. Do fun things alone with your older child, especially if you do things with just the baby. Do fun things as a family.

Some students learn best when they can look at a sample of what you're trying to teach them, and it might be useful for them to have an example to fall back on later in the process. For elementary school age students, use examples that are more opinion-based. Focus on more academically based examples for middle and high school students.  For example, you might show elementary school age students a piece of writing that argues that one brand of soda is better than the other. The best brand of soda is based on opinion, but your students will still see that they still have to give reasons or justification that supports their opinion. For middle and high school age students, a good example might be an article that argues that older teens need more sleep than elementary age children. This article will likely use scientific research to support its claims, so your students will see that the reasons and justifications they give to support their position need to based on more than how they feel about a particular subject. Once you've shown your students examples of persuasive writing, lead a discussion during which you ask your students to point out what they found effective about the writing and what they thought didn't work. For example, if you've read a piece about the benefits of more sleep for older students, you could say "Do you think older students need more sleep? Why?" Your students therefore not only have to assess the article's argument, but how the author used evidence to support that argument. Once your students have evaluated a completed piece of persuasive writing, show them what the process of creating one looks like by talking through it with them. You may also start with an explanation of what you want your students to do and then provide the example.  For example, using an overhead projector, start drafting your own essay on a topic you've selected beforehand. Think out loud and write as you go so that your students can actually see what the writing process looks like, and so they can see that even...

TL;DR in English: Show your students examples of persuasive writing. Ask your students what they found effective. Show your students what you want them to do.

Use a mild soap to gently wash the outer parts of your vagina and the area around it. Don’t wash out the inside of your vagina. Make sure to wash your hands well. Rinse your vaginal area and hands to completely remove the soap. Pat your skin dry using a clean cotton cloth. Cleaning your vagina and hands can prevent the spread of bacteria into your vagina as you insert the suppository. Unwrap the suppository applicator from its packaging and determine if it's already pre-filled with the cream or tablet. If it isn't pre-filled, hold the applicator between your thumb and forefinger and use your other hand to place the cream or tablet at the other end of the applicator.  To fill an applicator with a cream suppository, connect the tube of cream to the applicator so that it's tightly attached. Squeeze the tube of cream till the correct dose is in the applicator. Remove the tube and save it for your next dose. The applicator provided for delivering a cream suppository usually has marks on it that tell you how much is in the applicator, such as 1 gram, 2 grams, etc. Stand with your legs and knees apart. Raise one foot up on a stool, the edge of the toilet, the bathtub or a chair. Or, you can lie on your back with your knees bent. Your feet should be about shoulder width apart.  Both of these positions will give you easier access to your vaginal opening which will make it easier to insert the suppository. Use your non-dominant hand to separate the lips (labia) of your vulva. This will expose your vagina. Keep it exposed while you use your dominant hand to place the suppository at the vaginal opening. Although it may seem difficult at first, try to relax. Remind yourself that it will take a little getting used to and you can continue to try until you successfully insert the suppository. Insert the suppository applicator or use your forefinger to insert the suppository into your vagina. Push it as far as is comfortable so that the suppository is in your vagina. If you're using an applicator, push the plunger so all of...

You will want to reach out to potential customers in ways that make them want to use your business. This is especially important when you are first starting before you have an established, regular customer base.  Advertise in a way that catches customers attention at a minimum and hopefully goes beyond to capture their imagination. Be creative and appeal to the right aspects of the customers you want to use your business. Offer free samples of what you do to the right people, in order to get people saying good things about what you have to offer. Word of mouth (i.e. good PR) is the best way to attract new customers. If you get bad reviews or negative feedback, respond positively and fix the problem. People will be much less judgmental about mistakes if you're willing to fix them. Go to conferences, charity galas, meetings with complementary businesses and anywhere where your customers are likely to be highly concentrated. In other words: get out in public and interact with people. Use your friend's connections to meet people who may be able to help you. This kind of interaction is very important for starting a business. You can't exist in a vacuum after all. Be good at interacting with people. Practice reading between the lines of what people say.

One of those bits of “old-time” wisdom that still circulates today is the idea that it is better to clean a small cut, then let it “air out” and scab over.  Like putting butter on a burn or tilting your head back during a nosebleed, however, this is false.  Small wounds actually heal better in a moist environment, in which blood vessels regenerate faster and inflammation-causing cells multiply more slowly.  So, preventing scab formation actually aids the healing process.  It may be no surprise that the company behind Band-Aids promotes covering cuts and scrapes instead of airing them out, but they have science on their side. Sometimes the worst part of pulling away a bandage is not the sticky adhesive, but dried blood / scabbing that pulls away with the bandage and reopens the wound.  Proper preparation can make this less likely.  Stop the bleeding of a minor cut or scrape by applying pressure with gauze, a paper towel, a clean cloth, etc.  Apply gentle pressure for up to 15 minutes, until all bleeding has stopped. For a large cut or wound, an excessively dirty wound, or a wound that won't stop bleeding, get medical help. Rinse the area with clean water and gently clean the wound with soap and water.  Rinse again and pat dry with a clean cloth, etc.  Don't use hydrogen peroxide or one of those old wound cleaners your grandfather swore by -- just plain old soap and water. Hydrogen peroxide and iodine can irritate an injury. Antibiotic ointments have shown little evidence in helping wounds heal faster, but they do help keep the wound moist and make sticking less likely upon bandage removal.  That said, plain old petroleum jelly will provide the same moistening / lubricating benefit.  Apply a small dab only over the wound itself, so the bandage will stick where it should. Choose a bandage that is large enough so that the pad (the part that isn't sticky) covers the entire wound with a little room to spare.  Try not to touch the pad when applying to reduce infection chances.  Especially when wrapping a bandage...

TL;DR in English: Don't avoid removing a bandage by not using one. Prepare wounds properly for bandaging. Consider moistening the wound to inhibit sticking. Cover the wound with a bandage. Get out your razor, if necessary. Have faith in medical science.

Coping skills are ways that you can feel better or deal with a situation more effectively. Having more coping skills to reduce feeling overwhelmed or out of control is associated with a better outcome for individuals who have survived abusive situations. Coping skills can be fun and entertaining such as: listening to music, watching movies, and playing games or sports. Reduce the intensity of your emotions, discharge your feelings, divide them into manageable parts, or get outside support. Some specific coping skills for dealing with feelings include: writing them down, using art to express them, and exercising to release tension in the body.  Pretend your abuser is sitting in a chair and say what you want to say. Yell, scream, curse -- let it all out. Write a letter of confrontation to your abuser. You do not need to send it but this may help you process and work through some of your feelings. Relaxation techniques have been linked to lowered stress levels.  Progressive muscle relaxation is one technique where you progressively tense and relax different muscle groups throughout your body until you become relaxed. Start with tensing your toes for 5 seconds, then relax them for10- 30 seconds. Then move slowly up your body all the way to the top of you head (from toes, to feet, to legs, and so on).  Deep breathing is another option where you simply breathe deeply through your nose, and breathe out through your mouth. Pay attention to your breathing and when you get distracted return to thinking only about your breathing. Some strategies that are unhelpful in the long-term include: blaming the self, minimizing the abuse (saying or thinking it was not that bad), denial, and rationalizing (thinking that the abuse was normal or okay). Focus on what you can control instead of what you cannot control.  Focus on your own goals such as doing well in school or learning how to play a sport or instrument. Focus on your own hopes and dreams. Think about what you want to become and start getting information about it or...

TL;DR in English: Understand coping. Deal with your feelings. Use relaxation techniques, mindfulness, or meditation. Identify unhelpful coping strategies and limit them. Work on controlling other parts of your life.

Teamwork questions are best answered through what is known as the STAR system. This is an acronym that outlines the four part answer you should give to a teamwork question.  "S" stands for "situation." This overviews the situation in which you had to work as a team. "T" stands for "task." Explain the task you needed to complete as part of a team. "A" stands for "actions." What actions did you take as a team member to successfully complete the task? "R" stands for "results." Give some concrete results here. How did your actions help the company? In what ways was the situation resolved due to your efforts? Introduce your answer to a team player question by telling the interviewer what type of person you are. Are you process-oriented or results-driven? Are your comfortable relinquishing decisions to a team? Are you patient or impatient? Do you accept or give criticism well? This gives a brief overview of how you function as a team player, which will be followed with an example illustrating this personality trait.  The answer should start with "I am the type of person who..." after which you explain your general personality. Then, you should say, "I like to..." and explain how your general personality manifests itself in action. For example, "I'm the kind of person who likes to focus on what someone does right over what they do wrong. I like to explain how a team member can use their good qualities in a situation in order to outweigh their flaws." From here, you need to illustrate how the above statement played out in a specific situation. What was your responsibility in the situation? What task did you have to complete? Choose a recent example of your teamwork experience. Pick an example relevant to the initial statement you made.  For example, "I was responsible for providing one-on-one feedback to a group of freelance writers who worked for our publication." This outlines the situation. You managed freelance writers, and your responsibility was providing feedback. From here, get specific. What task presented a...

Don't let your anger or resentment get in the way of your relationship with the person you are trying to forgive.

Make the decision to try to forgive. Learn what forgiveness is not. Own the fact that forgiveness is for you.

Pick a field that you're not only an expert in, make sure that it's something you're passionate about. You can consult for just about any type of business, but here are some of the most popular fields (see a longer list here).  Accounting Advertising Communications Marketing Public Relations In most cases, a bachelor's degree in a related field is the bare minimum for becoming a consultant. An advanced degree, such as a Master of Business Administration (MBA) will greatly improve your chances, especially when paired with courses in the following:  Strategic Management Consulting Practices Business Development Even though you may be working for yourself, you have become a business and may need to take the proper legal steps before operating.  These steps may vary depending on the state your operating within and the type of business you'll be consulting.  For example, a financial consultant should have certificates for Financial Planning (FP) and the Member of the Society of Financial Advisors (MSFA). Fund-raising consultants don't need special certification, although you can become certified through the National Society of Fund Raising Executives. And in some states, you may need to register as a professional fund-raising consultant before starting your business. If you've just graduated, this is a terrific way to learn the ropes of a business without being too bogged down by the corporate process. You'll see a lot and most likely have an opportunity to work on multiple projects, thus expanding your knowledge of the business.

The stem of the wineglass is designed so your hand doesn’t touch the bowl and spread fingerprints over the glass or warm the wine with your body heat. They also make the glass easier and more comfortable to hold, allowing you to slowly sip and savor your wine.Because wine is meant to be sipped, you want glasses that are comfortable to hold for a long amount of time. Stemless wine glasses are more durable because they don’t have a delicate stem that can crack, chip, or break. But when you hold a stemless glass, the heat from your hand causes the wine in the glass to warm up, which alters its flavor profile and drinkability. To make your wine experience more enjoyable, go with glasses that have a stem.Stemless glasses will really cause white wines, sparkling wine, and champagne to warm up and make it less enjoyable.

TL;DR in English: Pick glasses with long stems to sip the wine comfortably. Avoid stemless wine glasses so your wine doesn’t heat up.

Sports drinks also have other functional ingredients added. A basic sports drink will have water, carbohydrates and electrolytes. Some of the more target specific sports drinks may also have protein, vitamins and minerals, caffeine or amino acids. You may want some of these additional ingredients, depending on what the sports drink is for. Electrolytes act as buffers in the blood stream to ensure cells maintain proper function and help with water movement and retention in the body. Most sports drinks add sodium and potassium for this. According to the Institute of Sports Medicine, sodium plays a very important role in helping to retain water to prevent dehydration, so sodium is important. The effect of potassium as hydration aid in sports drinks has been found to be minimal. Added calcium and potassium would be good examples of minerals that are important to muscle function. They may help people prone to muscle cramps during exercise. Zinc has been shown to help the body use energy more efficiently. Magnesium can promote relaxation after a workout. Studies have shown protein and carbohydrates consumed within an hour after exercise increases muscle synthesis and decreases fatigue. Milk, whey and soy protein have all been shown to be very effective post workout. This helps to decrease damage to the muscles and reduce fatigue. Amino acids at amounts as low as 1% have been shown to have an effect on performance and fatigue. This would be an ideal addition to a sports drink that would be consumed during endurance exercise, such as a marathon or triathlon.

TL;DR in English: Have an understanding of all of the ingredients. Check for electrolytes. Choose a drink with vitamins and minerals. Choose a drink with added protein for a post workout recovery drink. Choose a drink with added amino acids.

If you are carrying around a lot of resentment, anger, or hurt over something that happened in the past, you may find that you are unhappy and unable to find peace. Perhaps the best thing that you can do for your own emotional health is to practice forgiveness, even if the person who wronged you does not appear to feel sorry. Numerous studies show the value of forgiveness. If you carry around negative emotions for a long time after someone hurts you, you can bring anger and bitterness to new relationships, stop enjoying everyday life, and become anxious or depressed. In order to forgive someone, you do not have to excuse their actions to yourself. You don't even have to eliminate all of your feelings about the situation. It's perfectly normal to go on thinking of an incident even after you have forgiven a person for it.  You also don't have to tell a person that they are forgiven, though if it makes you feel better to do so, this is certainly a possibility. You don't have to forget in order to forgive. In other words, protect yourself. If possible, don't put yourself in a situation where you could be hurt again. For example, even if you successfully forgive an abusive ex-boyfriend, remember that he was abusive when you are tempted to return to that relationship. Forgiving someone else can help you heal and help you move on from an unhealthy relationship.  Particularly if the person you are trying to forgive shows no remorse, forgiveness will be something that you do for your own mental health, not to improve your relationship with the other person. Remember that forgiveness is probably the best thing you can do for yourself, even if the person you are forgiving has no idea that you've done so.

If a stream or river runs through a paddock space, it can provide a source of water for your cattle. You can construct an access ramp, so that cows can access the water easier without polluting it. Or, you can use a siphon system to fill up water tanks from this source.  Another alternative is to install an animal-operated pasture pump. This is a water pump that is triggered by a cow’s nose pressing against the lever in the water tank. Then, the water is automatically siphoned up from the river to fill the tank. If you are using a freshwater spring or river as a water source, it’s important to clean it out periodically to ensure that it doesn’t become contaminated and spread disease. As a general rule, cattle need daily access to between 1-2 gallons of fresh water per 100 pounds of body weight. This means that you’ll want at least 1 tank per paddock that can hold the minimal amount of daily water for the animals in that space. Pastured cattle can survive by primarily eating grass. However, if your cattle are primarily in a dry-lot or if the weather is poor, then supplementing with grain or hay is a good idea. Talk with your vet about which grain or hay to use and how much to feed your cattle.  Use a hay rack or clean feed container in a paddock or barn to give your cattle hay or grain. Wet, moldy food can actually sicken your animals. If the hay or grain gets wet, discard it immediately. Feeding your cattle grain helps you to form a positive relationship with them, too. They’ll associate you with food and are more likely to come to your calls. Cattle can’t store salt in their system, which means that they need to ingest it daily for health. Fill up a feeder with a fortified trace mineral salt mixture and place it near where your cattle sleep at night whether in a paddock or barn. In addition, place at least 1 rock salt and mineral-blend block in each paddock.  You can purchase these salt products at your local feed store or even online through an agricultural supply company. As a general rule, a 1,300-1,400...

After attaching the garden hose, head to the faucet and turn on the water. Check your manual to see if it specifies a water pressure setting. Many manufacturers recommend setting it to about half pressure. Do not start the engine before turning on the water. Make sure the gearshift or throttle is in the neutral position. The engine needs to be in neutral to start and should stay in neutral while you run it. If you need to put the engine in gear to test the propeller's function, use caution and make sure no people or objects go near the moving propeller. . Depending on your engine type, insert the key or pull the starter to engage the engine. For some electric engines, you’ll also need to push and release a button after turning the key. You should see a stream of water flowing out of the top of the motor. If there’s no overflow stream, there’s something wrong with your water pump. If there’s no stream, turn off the engine immediately. Insert a thin wire into the outflow tube to check for debris. Start the engine again to see if that solved the problem. If there’s still no outflow, you will likely need to have a mechanic replace your water pump.

TL;DR in English: Turn on the water. Put the engine in neutral. Start the engine Make sure the motor’s water pump is working.

The worst possible place to fart (other than inside a car) is inside an elevator. If you feel the need, there are ways you can reduce the problem.  Hold it until the elevator door opens.  The good part is that the elevator doors will make noise when they open and close. Secondarily, new people will come into the elevator when the door opens, and other people will go out. Thus, the new people might blame the farting on one of the people who just left the elevator (and you can blame them too without them being there to deny it). It’s often best, though, to just remain silent because there will be so many suspects no one will know whom to blame anyway. If you’re afraid the fart will be loud, wait for something naturally noisy before you let it rip.  For example, if you’re in a movie theater, wait until there’s a particularly loud sound effect on the screen. In a restaurant, wait for the clattering of dishes or the loud talking of a couple about to walk past your table. At a family event, wait for the music or someone to make a loud toast or laughter from a joke. Rather than waiting for other people to make noise, you can make noise yourself right as you are about to fart.  Cough loudly right as you are about to fart. In fact, cough several times as if you are in a coughing fit, and then reach for a glass of water. Move your chair loudly so that it rubs along the floor or makes noise. If you’re sitting on vinyl move your body so your legs create a rubbing sound on the chair. Pretend the fart is the sound of your chair squeaking.  Start singing if the occasion allows for it, start talking a lot and loudly, sneeze, or rattle a dish. If you’re worried about public flatulence, there are steps you can take to reduce gas before you go out into public.  A dash of cayenne pepper sprinkled into a glass of water is supposed to reduce gas. Ginger can help too. Eating and drinking slowly, avoiding carbonated beverages, avoiding smoking, and using antacids can also help.  Don’t chew gum. It can cause gas buildup. Avoid foods...

TL;DR in English: Fart in an elevator. Wait for something noisy. Make noise yourself. Reduce gas in the first place.

If you’re hoping to learn more about Tolkien’s languages, there are two appendices – A and F – in one of the books from the Lord of the Rings series that should be your primary sources.  These appendices describe the various languages, as well as different types of letters, in detail. These appendices also contain a guide to pronunciation of Tolkien’s languages, as well as music to which Tolkien wrote Elvish lyrics. The manuscripts for many of Tolkien’s works are stored in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at Marquette University.  The margins of the manuscripts include all sorts of notes about how and why he chose or developed certain Elvish words.  Further, unpublished works contain new Elvish words that continue to be “discovered.” The Elvish Linguistic Fellowship is another source of a wealth of material, some of which was created using some of Tolkien’s unpublished works. An Introduction to Elvish, written by Jim Allen, is widely respected as the most substantial work on Tolkien’s languages.  However, many consider it to be outdated.  The Languages of Tolkien’s Middle-earth is reportedly “less accurate,” but is still recommended. The Tolkien Society recommends several other sources for further reading. You read that right.  You can take courses and tutorials online developed by people who have extensively studied Tolkien’s languages.  The modern languages in which these lessons are taught vary, as so the approach and inspiration that led to their creation.

TL;DR in English:


Choose archival backing and mat boards for original artwork. Choose standard backing and mats boards for less valuable art. Use a wide mat border for smaller pieces. Use a narrow mat border for large, impressive pieces. Choose white matting to limit distractions from the art. Choose neutrals for a soft but subtle mat. Choose colors that don’t compete with the artwork. Put photographs in 3-inch (7.62 cm) white mats for a crisp look.

The “mother” contains the bacteria needed to begin the process of turning ethanol into acetic acid. It sometimes forms in opened bottles of wine, and looks like a slimy blob floating on the surface. You can buy “mother” (sometimes marketed as “vinegar starter”) in this gelatinous form, or as a liquid—look for it in homebrew or natural foods stores, or online.  If you’re adding gelatinous “mother” from a store, follow the package instructions regarding the amount to add—you’ll just spoon it on top of the alcohol in your jar. For liquid vinegar starter, pour in 12  fl oz (350 ml), unless otherwise noted on the package. The “mother” reforms every time you make a batch of vinegar. So, if you’ve made vinegar before, or have a friend who has, you can use the “mother” that formed in a previous batch. Just spoon it out and put it into your new jar.  You can repeat this process over and over again for years, if desired. It’s fine to use a “mother” from one type of vinegar (e.g., wine) to start another (e.g., cider). Simply lay the paper towel or cheesecloth over the top of the jar, then stretch a rubber band over the mouth of the jar. You need to cover the jar with a permeable material so that fresh air can circulate inside. Don’t leave the jar uncovered. Dust or dirt may get in, and there’s a good chance you’ll end up with a bunch of drowned fruit flies floating in your vinegar! Find a shelf on your pantry or similar location that’s fairly dark and gets decent air circulation. The conversion into vinegar will occur at temperatures between 59 and 94 °F (15 and 34 °C), but 80–85 °F (27–29 °C) is the ideal range—so pick out a warm spot if possible.  If you can’t find a dark spot, wrap the jar in a thick kitchen towel—but don’t cover the cheesecloth or paper towel lid. Don’t shake, stir, or (if possible) move the jar during the initial 2 month waiting period. This will make it easier for the “mother” to form and do its work. You’ll notice the scent of vinegar and possibly some more funky smells coming from the jar during...

TL;DR in English: Place or pour a store-bought “mother” into the jar. Use a homemade “mother” instead if you’ve saved it from prior vinegar making. Seal the jar with a rubber band and cheesecloth or a paper towel. Place the jar in a dark, airy, temperate place for 2 months.

Just as with outdoor soccer, you will need a pair of shin guards, long socks, and shoes. However, instead of outdoor soccer cleats, you will need a pair of indoor soccer shoes, which differ by having flat outsoles. Lightweight sneakers or running shoes can also work in a pinch, but you will not have the same speed and ease of movement. If you are an outdoor soccer player adapting to playing indoors, spend some time getting used to juggling the ball indoors. Whether you are playing on astroturf or a hard, smooth surface, the ball will have far less traction and you will likely have to move your feet more quickly to control the ball across the field. Indoor soccer is faster-paced than outdoor soccer, which will keep you in shape and also sharpen your playing skills but the rapid pace will take some getting used to.  Focus on making quick passes and small, controlled movements with your feet until playing faster comes naturally. Be more verbally communicative. Because the game is so fast and you are in an enclosed space, expect to talk to your teammates more. Oftentimes you may deliver a pass only to find yourself in a great spot to receive the ball again. In these moments, it’s best to yell “pass” or otherwise let your teammates know where you are positioned.

The people making fun of you expect you to react negatively by either getting angry or being sad, so laughing will throw them off. Give a big hearty laugh like the mocking is the funniest thing you have ever heard. This will deflect the attack and show how little power they have over you.  Slap your knee and really exaggerate how funny you think their comments are. Say something like “that’s a new one” or “that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day.” Say something like “that’s enough” or “quit being rude.” In the moment, it can be difficult to focus on anything other than the mockery that is being directed towards you. However, mentally leaving the situation may help you better deal with it. Try thinking of a place that is peaceful and makes you feel happy. This will help you stay calm and not let the attacks hurt you. You can also imagine a brick wall between you and those mocking you that is deflecting their comments. A sick burn is a great way to turn the tables on those mocking you. This tells them that you are above their comments and makes them look bad in the process. A clever comeback sends the message that you are not an easy target and there are consequences for messing with you.  Say something like “wow, did you come up with that all by yourself” or “pardon me, but you seem to think that I care.” Try the “Yes, and…” technique. If someone is giving you a hard time about something just respond by acknowledging their teasing and then inserting a joke. For example, if someone zings your new haircut by saying “Nice haircut. Joining a punk band?” You can reply with “Yeah, and tomorrow I’m piercing lips, nose, and mouth.” Although it might seem counterintuitive, sometimes the best way to deflect mocking is to acknowledge it. Addressing part of the bullies’ attacks takes the power away from them and puts you in control. You can then reframe their attack in a way that you want. For example, if you are being mocked about wearing a hat they consider “weird,” you can respond by saying “yeah, it looks weird...

TL;DR in English: Laugh at the ridicule. Think about something else. Give a witty comeback. Roll with the teasing. Act like it did not happen.

Archival materials are designed to preserve artwork by using acid-free paper that won’t damage your pieces. This is the stuff that museums use on their collections, so you know it’s high quality. These materials will cost you a little more. However, if you’re matting expensive prints or original artwork, this is the way to go. If you’re matting a print that’s less expensive, you may not be as concerned with damage. Be aware that while it may take years for standard backing and mat boards to affect your prints, it will happen eventually. If you’re matting something that you care about (even if it’s not pricey!), pick the archival-quality materials. To highlight smaller artwork or photographs, set them in wide-bordered mats. This will make the piece look more dramatic. It’ll also draw observers’ attention to the center of the piece. Measuring the border will depend on the size of the piece. Your border should measure as wide as at least 25% of the shortest edge. So if your piece is 8 in. by 12 in. (20.32 cm by 30.48 cm), you’ll need a minimum of 2 inches (5.08 cm) for the border. Go up an inch or two (2.54-5.08 cm) to make this a wider border. Larger artwork generally speaks for itself. It doesn’t need any added flair. It’s especially important to keep elaborate or detailed large pieces in windows with thin borders. Keep your border at the minimum measurement (25% of the shortest edge) for a narrow width. Don’t think of white as boring, as white will allow your pieces to shine all on their own. White matting also provides a clean look. White is perfect for original artwork, as it’ll allow observers to focus only on the art itself. If you’d like to add a little more character to your matting without distracting from the artwork, try other neutrals. Grays, beiges, and off-whites can all be great choices. This can allow you to add diversity to your mat boards without overshadowing your pieces. If you do decide to go with other colors, choose carefully. You need colors that complement the artwork, rather than...

Your doctor should be able to offer advice on whether or not you require chlorophyll supplementation. In some cases, chlorophyll supplements should be avoided. For example, since there has been a lack of safety research on chlorophyll supplements, pregnant women should avoid commercial supplements.  If your doctor advises against supplementation, you can still get your chlorophyll from natural sources such as kale, spinach or broccoli. In fact, eating green vegetables daily is a much better way to get chlorophyll into your diet along with fiber and other nutrients. Keep in mind that chlorophyll supplements may not be recommended if you are taking other medications or if you are pregnant or nursing. Check with your doctor to be sure. If you are unable to get enough chlorophyll from vegetables, you could use a supplement. Chlorophyll supplements can give you a boost of energy, as well as provide a number of potential health benefits. You can find chlorophyll supplements at most health food stories. Ask the health food clerk which brands are reputable. If there are no health food stores nearby, shop online.  You can get chlorophyll supplements in a variety of combinations, including with papaya, spirulina and green mixes containing a variety of other vitamins and minerals. Chlorophyll supplements cost between $15 and $70. Also, keep in mind that the FDA does not regulate supplements. Check the label for other indicators of quality, such as a USP label or other 3rd party verification. You can get chlorophyll supplements in a variety of forms, including tablets and liquids. If you choose the liquid form, you squirt a few drops in a glass of water. It will get very green and tastes slightly minty and a little bitter. If you choose the tablet form, you don't have to worry about the strong taste. Follow the dosage recommendations on the label, or as directed by your naturopath or doctor. Many juice stores sell chlorophyll water, which is water with some liquid chlorophyll. If you are on the run and forgot to take...

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor before starting chlorophyll supplements. Shop for chlorophyll supplements. Choose a supplement form. Buy chlorophyll water.

Regular screenings increase your chance of being diagnosed with cancer early, which means the disease will have less of a chance to spread and there will probably be more treatment options available than there would be if the disease were discovered later. Many screenings are offered for free or for low costs at clinics around the country, so do some research to find out what's available near you. The CDC recommends screenings for breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, prostate, skin, and ovarian cancers. The screenings you need will depend on your age, gender, family history, and other risk factors. Talk to a doctor or read the CDC's recommendations to determine which screenings you should get. Check local public health departments, community health centers, and free clinics to see if they offer free or low-cost vaccinations to people without insurance.  Even adults require a tetanus-diphtheria booster every 10 years.  The federal government's Vaccines for Children program is a great option for uninsured individuals under the age of 19 who need vaccines.  If you can't find a clinic that offers the vaccine you need at an affordable cost, check with the manufacturer of the vaccine to see if they offer any assistance to uninsured individuals. In the United States, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) maintains a database of health centers where you can obtain subsidized medical treatment. These centers provide check-ups and preventive care, treatment for illness, prenatal care, immunizations, dental care, and mental health services.  There are nearly 150 medical centers around the United States that are required by the federal government to provide free or reduced-cost services to those who meet certain income restrictions and are unable to pay for treatment. These facilities are known as Hill-Burton facilities.  Attending to your mental health is just as important as attending to your physical health. If you are unable to find a federally supported health center that will offer you the mental...

TL;DR in English: Get cancer screenings. Keep your immunizations up to date. Find a federally supported health center. Get help paying for your prescriptions. Get affordable dental care. Consult a nonprofit. Determine whether you are eligible for government benefits.

Dry brushing improves your circulation and helps your skin get rid of toxins, reducing the appearance of cellulite. Buy a body brush made with natural fibers and make dry brushing a part of your morning routine.  Make sure your skin and the brush are both dry before beginning. Starting at your feet, brush upward toward your heart. Concentrate on areas with a lot of cellulite, like your thighs and buttocks. Brush your arms from  your hands to your shoulders. Brush your stomach in a clockwise circular motion and your arms in an upward motion. All brushing movements should be made towards your heart to encourage the return of blood and lymphatic flow. Take a shower after brushing to wash away the dead skin cells and toxins that have risen to the surface. Taking measures to make your skin look tight and healthy doesn't actually get rid of cellulite, but it can go a long way toward temporarily reducing its appearance. Try the following techniques:  Bathe in lukewarm or cool water, rather than hot. Cool water tightens your skin and makes it look more toned. Moisturize your skin with a product that contains caffeine. Buy a cream or lotion that contains at least 5 percent caffeine, which is said to improve skin tone and decrease the appearance of cellulite. Use another topical product designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite. There are many creams and lotions on the market designed specifically for this purpose. You can reduce the appearance of cellulite by making the color of your skin look more even. Choose a spray tan product just a shade or two darker than your skin. Make sure to apply it evenly over your legs, not just in the areas where you have cellulite.

TL;DR in English: Start dry brushing your skin. Improve your skin tone. Use a spray tan product.

This will dress up any outfit. Don’t forget to try wearing them with jeans for a dressy casual look! Nude shoes will match with just about everything. You will want some flats that are dressy. Choose a pair of shoes that you could walk all day in. These could be anything from tennis shoes to sandals with great support depending on personal preference and lifestyle. Just add a scarf and change your shoes, and it’s a whole new outfit. A trench coat is a classic and never goes out of style. It will add sophistication to any look. If beige is your color, get it in beige. There will be times when dress shoes aren’t necessary but sneakers aren’t dressy enough. These could be loafers, boat shoes, or trail oxfords.

Mirrors can easily make a small space look larger -- we've all walked into a room that, upon first impression, was huge, but with a second glance, it was just our eyes being tricked. If you can, use a mirror that expands vertically. Sometimes it's not that simple, however. Mirrors work best by reflecting light -- so make sure they're facing light itself or a light-colored wall. Check to see what gets reflected in your mirror by standing in different points of the room. To really appreciate any room, the lighting has to be right, but this goes double in a small room. All curtains should be light and airy and able to be drawn back -- after all, natural light is best. To avoid the space taken up by lamps, go for wall sconces; you don't need an electrician anymore for that, either -- the new-fangled ones can be attached anywhere. If applicable, get light over pieces of artwork, too. Think in natural light (from windows), ceiling lights (preferably dimmable), sconces, and table lamps. If there are no dark corners in your room, you've succeeded. There are going to be things you need in the room that you may wish you didn't, so get creative when it comes to storing them. Invest in some cute cubes, boxes, or baskets. They'll be less distracting and keep the room from feeling overwhelming. Keep the knickknacks on your tables and mantle to a minimum. The less clutter in the room, the better you'll feel about being in it. Put away what you don't need and what doesn't heighten the ambience of the space. If your budget allows, design some light-colored cabinets or shelving you can build into the room. Not only will this draw the eye upward, but it gives the room character and function, too. And more storage for you! If you don't have the option to build in, get creative. Utilize space under pieces of furniture or put up a shelf or two. Buy an end table that can double as a bookcase and place hooks on the walls.

TL;DR in English: Use mirrors. Layer your lights. Control clutter. Build in storage.

Tell your parent that you believe that they have the strength to quit, even if they have attempted to in the past and have not been successful. Tell them that you are always there to provide more encouragement when the going gets tough.  Don’t question your parent’s ability or will to quit, as your belief in their success will serve as a reminder that they can, indeed, quit smoking. Avoid getting angry, passing judgement, scolding and other types of behaviour that may hurt your parent’s feelings and self-confidence. A smoker will often turn to a cigarette to deal with this type of stress. Smoking is not only addictive, but over time becomes an integral part of a smoker’s everyday life. It can become like “an old friend” who is always there during the tough times. If you have smoked in the past, empathizing with a parent who smokes may come naturally; otherwise, try to understand the importance of smoking in your parent’s life, and the difficulty they face in quitting. Make sure your parent knows that you understand the role of cigarettes in their life, and how difficult the task ahead of them is. Smokers who quit – especially cold turkey – will most likely experience one or more of the following withdrawal symptoms: intense nicotine cravings; irritability; headaches; difficulty concentrating; anxiety and depression; nightmares; and increased appetite and weight gain. These symptoms can appear two to three hours after your parent smokes their last cigarette and hit hardest about two to three days after that. If you understand the very real difficulties associated with quitting, you will be able to better empathize and help your parent to quit. Each day, week, or month that your parent goes smoke-free, let them know how impressed you are that they are quitting. To show your appreciation, give them a gift or take them out on the town as a reward for their achievement.  Small tokens of encouragement will help your parent to begin seeing quitting as a positive step in their life, rather than simply as the loss of...

TL;DR in English: Be positive. See it from their perspective. Be sensitive to withdrawal symptoms. Celebrate milestones.

Wash the tile with baking soda. Refrigerate the tile for 1 to 2 hours. Finished.

Pick a pH-neutral cleaner. Dampen a mop with the mixture. Mop the floor. Rinse the floor thoroughly. Dry the floor with a dry mop or rag.

Slope is defined as “rise over run,” with rise indicating vertical distance between two points, and run indicating the horizontal distance between two points. These can be any points the line runs through.  You can also use this method if you are given two points on the line, without having the line graphed in front of you. Coordinates are listed as (x,y){\displaystyle (x,y)}, with x{\displaystyle x} being the location along the x, or horizontal axis, and y{\displaystyle y} being the location along the y, or vertical axis. For example, you might choose points with coordinates (3,2){\displaystyle (3,2)} and (7,8){\displaystyle (7,8)}. One point will be point 1, and one point will be point 2. It doesn’t matter which point is which, as long as you keep them in the correct order throughout the calculation. The first point’s coordinates will be (x1,y1){\displaystyle (x_{1},y_{1})}, and the second point’s coordinates will be (x2,y2){\displaystyle (x_{2},y_{2})} The formula is riserun=y2−y1x2−x1{\displaystyle {\frac {rise}{run}}={\frac {y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}}}. The change in y-coordinates determines the rise, and the change in x-coordinates determines the run.

TL;DR in English: Understand the slope formula. Pick two points on the line and label their coordinates. Determine the order of your points. Set up the slope formula.

Some apples come waxed, which can keep the caramel from sticking. If your apples came waxed, wash them using some baking soda and water. Once the caramel hardens, you can serve the apples. Some people prefer to leave the apples on the counter for about 15 minutes, so that they won't be too cold.

You don't want an acidic or basic cleaner for this type of tile, so pick a cleaner that states it is pH neutral. You can find special cleaners specifically for quarry floors, if you prefer. You can also make your own cleaner. Mix 0.5 cups (120 mL) of baking soda into 1 gallon (3.8 l) until the baking soda is completely dissolved. Add 5 drops of liquid dishwashing detergent, and stir gently to combine. Once again, you don't want to use a large amount of cleaner or water on this type of floor. Therefore, make sure you wring out the mop well once you've dampened it with the cleaner. Run the mop over the floor, focusing on particularly dirty spots. Scrubbing is fine on the dirty areas, though you don't want to use anything too abrasive. Keep in mind that this tile will always have a matte finish. You may need to scrub the grout a bit harder, but it will likely still get darker over time. You don't want to leave cleaner on the floor, as it can damage the tile. Rinse it off with warm water, making sure you get off all the cleaner before moving on. Once you've rinsed the floor, dry it off with a dry mop. You can also use a rag, if you prefer. You just don't want to leave water on the floor, even to "soak" stains.

Grow the watercress indoors in a water tray. Obtain a shallow tray, such as a plastic food container from a grocery store. Line it with paper tissue or a sterile potting mix. Wet the paper or potting mix, but don’t add so much water that it’s swimming in it. Sprinkle seeds over the surface. If using potting mix, sprinkle a little mix over the top of the seeds. Instead of a shallow container, you could also plant the cress in a three-inch pot that you fill with damp compost.  Sprinkle the seeds onto the surface of the pot. This can be an effective method for growing cress because the cress will eventually starve in a container without soil. The soil in the pot, especially if it’s damp compost, will provide the cress with enough nutrients to continue growing the cress. Push the seeds lightly into the soil. Check up on your cress every day until it begins to sprout. This will stop evaporation. Without the cling film, the cress could dry out fast. You want space an inch or two of space for growth because the seedlings will hit the ceiling of the film eventually. Germination will likely start in about a couple of days.

TL;DR in English: Plant the cress in a container. Use a pot. Cover the tray with cling film.

This can often be an inhumane solution, as these traps do not always kill animals instantly. It can also be difficult to know which burrow entrance to place the trap outside, and the traps pose a significant danger to small children and pets. The specifics of setting lethal traps vary depending on the type you buy, and you should pay close attention to the instructions. This poses the same threats as traps and fumigation: the poison poses a danger to pets and people, and the bodies will be very hard to deal with if they die underground. If you decide to go this route, however, the process is very straightforward: place the poison in the areas of your garden that the groundhogs most like to frequent.

TL;DR in English: Use lethal traps. Poison them.

Though you may see 3-year-olds playing Candy Crush in the supermarket, very young children do not need a cell phone. Though the appropriate age differs based on circumstances, many families have decided that once their child is in middle school they can handle the responsibility of having their own phone. At that point, they will have a better understanding of when and where it’s appropriate to use their phone and when it’s not. There may be certain cases in which younger children may need a phone. If your child drives, rides their bike, or walks to and from school, extracurricular activities, or friend’s houses, it might be a good idea to get them a phone. You’ll be able to stay in touch and check in when they’re away from home. Have your child text you between school and soccer practice, for example. If your child often loses expensive items, like their glasses or tablet, or breaks electronics, they may not be ready for a cell phone. They’ll need to keep track of the phone for safety reasons so others can’t access their data, as well as financial ones as phones are costly to replace. Make sure your child can demonstrate responsibility before allowing them to get a phone. By allowing your child to have a cell phone, you are showing them that you trust them to make the right decisions. If your child has shown trustworthy behavior in the past, such as meeting curfew consistently or being honest and reliable, they are likely ready to use a phone appropriately. If your child feels entitled to having a phone and uses arguments like, “But everyone else has one,” you may want to hold off. Encourage them to understand that people need to work for and earn what they want, rather than getting it handed to them. If your child is willing to help pay the bill or do extra chores in exchange, they could be ready for their own phone. Even if you decide to let your child have a phone, it doesn’t mean you can’t take it away. Many parents find that taking their child’s phone away due to bad grades or poor behavior is a great...

TL;DR in English: Consider your child’s age. Get them a phone if they’re independent. Avoid purchasing a phone for irresponsible children. Show your children you trust them with a cell phone. Don’t get a phone for kids that haven’t earned it. Take the phone away as a means of discipline.

Five is the optimal number of dice to begin with.  You can play the game at a more advanced level with more dice. The aim of the game is to determine how many petals around the rose there are each time multiple dice are rolled.  Get someone to facilitate the game for you.  They will roll the dice and tell you the number of petals around the rose. The facilitator should not disclose the reasoning behind this number. That's for you to work out!  Eventually, when you solve the puzzle, you will be able guess the number of petals on a particular roll of the dice on your own. Your friend (who already knows the solution) will reveal how many petals around the rose there are for this roll.  At first, it will be unclear how they got this number.  Get them to roll the dice several times and tell you how many petals there are each time. Can you see a pattern emerging that determines the number of petals around the rose each turn? Take your time. It may take several rolls to figure out the solution.

Though a single bull-ride takes all of 8 seconds, bull-riding takes years of practice and guidance from an experienced rider who'll show you the ropes. Aside from gaining access to bulls and the people who keep them, riding bulls requires that you develop proper riding technique and touch on your animal, something that you won't be able to learn overnight. Just as you would for any sport or trade, get a coach you can work with and who'll be excited to teach you.  Bull-riding trade magazines are widely available at rural outlets and feed stores, advertising a wide variety of open competitions, coaching options, and clinics with experienced pro riders if you want to learn the basics. Bull-riding has historical roots in equestrian competitions between Mexican ranch hands, contests called Charreada that tested a variety of overall skills. Now the sport is more professionalized, and the primary governing bodies in the US are the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) and Championship Bull Riding (CBR). Born to Buck programs are widely available for youth who are interested in learning to ride bulls. Bull breeders hold open events to help interested parties get some experience on hot-bred animals. At the very least, you can learn if you've got the onions for it. Learning to get comfortable on an animal with a relatively flat back will help you immensely if your ultimate goal is to ride bulls. Learn how to shift your weight and grip with your legs, riding an animal that isn't actively angry and trying to get you off. Building core riding skills is an essential first step in riding bulls. While there's little required of the bull-rider in terms of gear, you'd stand out (and wouldn't be permitted to participate in most competitive rodeos) if you weren't in basic cowboy gear. This includes jeans, button-up western shirts, and heeled cowboy boots, generally topped with the iconic cowboy hat. Bull-riders always wear a protective leather glove and a braided bull-rope that wraps around the bull to hold on to. Pick a glove that's...

TL;DR in English: Apprentice to an experienced bull-rider to learn the tricks of the trade. Get comfortable riding a horse bareback. Wear the basic gear. Consider more protective gear. Develop your upper and lower body strength.

Evidence in race discrimination cases can be hard to come by. A lot of times you will not know why an employer made the decision they did. However, you should generally look for the following:  Race-related statements made by the employer. These statements may be overt racial slurs or may be hidden code words. Comparative treatment evidence. This is any evidence that helps you show that you were treated differently than similarly situated people of a different race. Relevant background facts. Racial discrimination does not occur in a vacuum. Look for evidence of how the employer has treated other employees. You might find a pattern of race-related attitudes or a poor work environment. An example of this may include evidence that the employer allows their employees to make racial jokes without repercussions. Relevant personnel policies. If the employer follows a relevant personnel policy, it may be evidence that there was no racial motive. However, if that employer did not follow an applicable policy, it may be evidence there was a racial motive. The decision maker's race. Statistical evidence. To find the evidence you are looking for, start by contacting potential witnesses. These people could be current employees, friends of the employer, or the employer herself. When you talk with witnesses, especially the employer, you and your attorney need to gauge their credibility. If the employer's explanation does not seem believable, the evidence of racial discrimination is much stronger than if the employer is believable. Credibility can be undermined if an explanation does not match the facts or if it is vague. Request documents or get access to documents that you think will help your case. You should, at the very least, obtain the following:  Your personnel file. These documents will include your application and any notes the interviewer took; any internal documents discussing your application; your employment contract; your job description; performance reviews; award; and letters of reference. Documents relating...

TL;DR in English: Determine what to look for. Contact witnesses. Collect documents.

OCD manifests in thoughts, and these thoughts play out in a person’s behavior. If you suspect someone you care about has OCD, look for the following:  Large blocks of unexplained time that the person is spending alone (in the bathroom, getting dressed, doing homework, etc.) Doing things again and again (repetitive behaviors) Constant questioning of self-judgment; excessive need for reassurance Simple tasks taking an effort Perpetual tardiness Increased concern for minor things and details Extreme, unnecessary emotional reactions to small things Inability to sleep properly Staying up late to get things done A significant change in eating habits Increased irritability and indecisiveness Obsessions can be about fears of contamination, fears of being harmed by another person, fears of by persecuted by God or other religious leaders because of thoughts that contain unwanted images such as sexual images or thought that would be blasphemous. The fear is what drives OCD, even if the fear is unlikely with low risk, people with OCD are still very much afraid. This fear creates anxiety  which drives compulsions, and the person with OCD uses compulsions as a way to pacify or control their anxiety caused by their obsession. Compulsions are usually acts or behaviors such as saying a certain prayer a certain amount of times, checking the stove repeatedly, or checking the locks on the house a certain number of times. When most of us think of this disorder, we think of those who wash their hands 30 times before leaving the bathroom or those who switch the light on and off exactly 17 times before bed. In actuality, OCD rears its head in many different ways:  People with a washing compulsion are afraid of contamination and usually wash their hands frequently. People who check things repeatedly (oven turned off, door locked, etc.) tend to associate everyday objects with harm or danger. People with a strong feeling of doubt or sin may expect that terrible things will happen and they might even be punished. People who are obsessed...

Virgo's mind is running, running, running all the time. ALL THE TIME. She's constantly nit-picking at something, including herself. She needs someone who can help calm her down, to be her rock. If you can do this, there will be no way she can let you go.  When you see her thinking, ask her what's going on. If she doesn't open up, don't leave. She may just be feeling the waters or uncomfortable asking for assistance. Let her know you're there if and when she needs you. When you get to know her well, odds are you'll have a grip on at least a few of the reasons she's worried. Try to make her plate less full by picking up the slack. Does she need to run errands? Clean the house? What can you help her with that gives her more time to relax? Because her mind is running all the time, she notices every detail in the book. If something is a bit off, rest assured she'll take note. So when your shirt is a bit wrinkled in the back, she notices. When your spice cabinet isn't organized, she notices. It's not a dealbreaker by any means, but it is something she will remark on in her head. Things may take a bit longer with her because of this. Though Virgo will always be punctual, she probably knows by now to allot more time for specific endeavors. If she's the creative type, she could be devoted to her art for days until its just right. She's a modern-day Goldilocks! Virgos are natural outdoorsy people. If you want to see her grin, get her outside. Take her on a picnic or go hiking. Rent a paddle boat and float on a lake. She's not the type to complain about the weather or need her hair to look perfect at every second. Get her outdoors and give her a memory to cherish forever! Virgo doesn't believe in kissing and telling and wearing her heart on her sleeve all the time. Sure, there will be times when she feels like opening up, but more often than not, assume she wants to stay reserved. Keep the PDAs to minimum -- you'll have time to be affectionate at home. Sometimes Virgo is quiet about her emotions, too. If you want to...

TL;DR in English: Help her worry less. Deal with her perfectionism. Get her in nature. Know that she can be quite private. Keep your word. Compromise. Be faithful to her.

It is best to apologize as the fight is happening, though apologize as soon as you can. Rather than lashing back, take responsibility for your behavior and apologize. If you did something wrong, apologize for what you did. If you are not in the wrong, you can still apologize to cool down the situation.  You will feel much better after you apologize. If you want to stop fighting with your brother or sister, remember that your goal is not to win an argument, but rather to get along. Say something like, “Hey Matt, I don’t want to fight. I’m sorry I was bored and started bothering you” or “I apologize for anything I’ve done.” Identify what is upsetting you, and tell your sibling how you feel. Start your sentence with "I feel," and mention your thoughts and feelings involving the fight. "I" statements help you prevent future arguments by openly discussing your feelings.  Say something like, “Courtney, I feel really hurt that you are fought with me about borrowing your shirt. I asked for it before I took it.” You can also say, “I feel angry when you to make fun of me, even after I ask you to stop." Think back on your last few arguments with your brother or sister. Are these fights similar at all? Can you think of any common themes or feelings? Looking at how you handled something before may give you an idea about why you are fighting now.  Consider the last time you and your brother fought over the TV remote. Why does this keep happening? Because you don't agree on what to watch, or because you want to be the one to choose? Maybe you continue to fight with your siblings because neither of you thinks you are wrong when if you realized you were the one who started the argument first, you could stop the fight from happening. Talk about ways you can prevent this from happening again, like telling a joke or maybe leaving each other alone. Find what works for the both of you and commit to trying these solutions. Maybe you are upset with your brother because he teases you and calls you names, so every time you talk, you...

TL;DR in English: Apologize to your sibling. Use "I" statements to talk about your feelings. Think back to past fights and look for repeating behavior patterns. Reach a solution together in case the fight happens again. Ask your parents for help if you need to.

Test the sound by retrieving email. If you don’t hear a “ding” or a sound, you’ve been successful. Never risk playing games while your boss is on the loose. Have confirmation that he or she will not be dropping by. Once the game is open, do not play it, but minimize the screen. Find a spreadsheet you've been working on or another document that requires your attention. Keep this window open at all times. Give yourself only a few minutes per gaming episode while at work. If you don’t watch the clock, you could get carried away, forget your boss is out of the meeting and get busted. Always have your work document ready to take over the full screen in the event a co-worker (or worse, your boss) strolls by. In the event of an unexpected guest, quickly minimize your game and look deeply interested in your work document.

TL;DR in English: Turn off the sound feature on your work computer. Check your boss’s schedule to ensure he or she is out of the office or in a meeting. Plug the flash drive into the computer and open a game. Open a work document. Set a timer on your watch, computer or clock for 10 or 15 minutes. Re-open the game and play.

Foods with soluble fiber absorb liquids like bile as they move through your stomach and intestines. Every time you eat a meal, include foods like oat bran, barley, nuts, peas, beans, bananas, peaches, or apples. You may also want to include vegetables that contain soluble fiber, which tends to be easier to digest. Some vegetables to try include:  Summer and winter squash Carrots Yams, sweet potatoes, potatoes Turnips Parsnips Rutabagas Plantains Beets Yuca Taro High-fat foods speed up digestion, which works against those slow-moving soluble fiber foods that are trying to absorb excess bile. Cut out or limit fatty and processed foods like hamburgers, hotdogs, fried foods, milkshakes, ice cream, and anything that has a rich sauce on it. Stick to lean meats and healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and Greek yogurt. Smaller meals put less pressure on your pyloric valve (sphincter between bottom of stomach and top of small intestine) than large, heavy meals. Change your eating schedule so that you're having five or six small meals each day rather than three large ones.  Try dividing your normal portions in half, and saving one half for a couple of hours later. It is also important to chew your food well, drink something non-carbonated with your meals, and go for a walk or at least sit upright for 2 hours following your meal. Don't lay down right after you eat. Alcohol can contribute to bile reflux because it relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter, which allows bile and gastric content to move backward into your esophagus. Cut out as much alcohol as possible from your diet, and replace it with water or non-citrus juices like carrot juice, or a freshly squeezed juice made from cucumbers, beets, spinach, watermelon, or pears. and caffeinated tea. Both coffee and some types of tea (caffeinated) relax your lower esophageal sphincter muscles, allowing for more bile reflux. If you can't cut out coffee or tea entirely, limit yourself to one cup a day.  Caffeine may affect the lower esophageal sphincter, so opt for decaf...

Intoxicated patrons can become defensive, rude, and even violent when confronted, so it's important that you have an assertive personality and not be too shy to stand up to these kinds of people. In addition to learning the "classics," bartenders must...

Married people are typically happier and more satisfied in life. If you are best friends with your partner, marriage will have an even greater impact on how satisfied you are with your life.

Once you’ve covered the entire surface, use the spatula to smooth out the frosting and ensure that it’s evenly distributed across the surface.  If you choose, you can use a butter knife or the spatula to create a wave-like design in the frosting.

If you're not going to use honey for a few months, it may crystalize. While this process is normal, and reversible, it can be a hassle. To prevent crystallization, you can store honey in the freezer. You will need a container with a little extra room, as honey will expand some when frozen. If you just bought a jar of honey, you may need to use some of the honey or transfer it to a bigger container to make room in the jar. Some people like to use an ice tray to freeze honey. This way, when you need honey, you can thaw out one cube at a time. You can freeze honey in an ice tray and then transfer the cubes to a plastic bag. Once you've transferred your honey to your chosen container, place it in the fridge. Honey can last a few years when stored in the freezer.
