Talk to more experienced surfers or instructors if you can. Learn basic surfing etiquette before you head out.

Your parents want to make sure you know how to care for any pet. Spend some time online looking up the basics of rabbit care on websites like the Humane Society and the ASPCA.  Rabbits usually live in cages or huts that are stocked with cedar or wood shavings. If your parents worry about messes, rabbits can be litter trained. Rabbits primarily eat grass hay, dark green vegetables, and pellets. Let your parents know you understand how to feed your rabbit a healthy diet. Your parents want to make sure your rabbit is treated well. Look up how to socialize and handle a rabbit. With any pet, parents tend to worry about care and cost. Luckily, most concerns can be addressed if you're proactive about finding solutions. Ask yourself why your parents may say "No" and jot down a list of potential reasons they may refuse.  Cost is usually a major concern for parents. Research how much rabbits typically cost at shelters and pet stores, as well as costs associated for food and supplies. Time is another big issue. Your parents will want to make sure your rabbit gets the care it needs. Some people tend to think of rabbits as messy pets. Your parents may worry about things like the smell caused by a rabbit's cage. Once you have a list of concerns, go through your list. Think of ways you could address the concerns in case your parents raise them while you're talking. This can really help show your parents you have maturely thought this through.  If cost is an issue, you could offer to get a part time job to pay for the rabbit's care. If your parents are worried about time, look at your own schedule. Find pockets of time each day where you could commit to caring for your rabbit. Offer to clean the cage regularly and keep it in your room. This can help clear up concerns about smell. It's normal to be nervous if you're making a big request. Practicing ahead of time can help. You can jot down a rough idea of what you want to say and then rehearse in front of a mirror. This helps you go into the conversation calm. Don't write out...

TL;DR in English: Do some research on the basics of rabbit care. Make a list of potential concerns your parents may have. Find ways to address potential concerns. Practice what you're going to say first. Pick a good time to talk.

You may wish to consider keeping her as an indoor cat, to protect her from the hazard of traffic that she cannot hear. An alternative is to build a secure outdoor run so she has some access to fresh air, but won’t have access to any streets. Some cat owners have had good experiences using a normal, "hearing" cat as a playmate for the deaf cat.The body language of the hearing cat provides visual clues to the deaf cat that something has just happened. For instance, the hearing cat is aware ‘Mom has just opened the fridge door to get dinner out’ and rushes into the kitchen. The deaf cat, seeing his companion go, follows out of interest. This can work surprisingly well when one cat learns to take the lead. However, this depends on the two cats getting along, which cannot be guaranteed! Develop your own visual code for your cat, such as beckoning as a cue for your cat to come to you  (reward her compliance with a treat) or by pointing to a certain spot to get her to go there and away from trouble. Reward positive behavior with a treat and she will quickly learn to obey. You can also stamp on the floor to create vibrations.

TL;DR in English: Consider alternative ways of living to keep your deaf cat safe. Give your cat a playmate who is not deaf. Learn to communicate with your cat by using hand signals.

Apply a few drops of either onion or garlic juice to the acne scars with a Q-tip or a cotton ball. Allow the onion or garlic juice to dry. Then, if you don’t like the odor, rinse off with warm water.  Repeat four to five times a day.  You can also leave the onion or garlic juice on overnight. Onion and garlic juice can be irritating for some people. If the onion or garlic juice irritates your skin, use a different method. Both onion and garlic juice has anti-bacterial, antifungal, and healing properties and has been used to promote healing without scarring, particularly after surgery. Honey has also has been used for centuries to promote healing. Apply ½ teaspoon of honey to the acne scars with a Q-tip or a cotton ball. Allow the honey to stay on the wound for 20 to 30 minutes, covering it with a bandaid or gauze. Rinse off with warm water.  Repeat four to five times a day or leave on overnight. Medicinal honeys such as Manuka honey has been the most studied, but you can use an organic honey and get similar results. Mix three to four drops of calendula oil with a carrier oil, like almond, castor, olive, or mineral oil. Apply the calendula oil mixture to the scabs with a Q-tip or a cotton ball. Leave it on. Apply four to five times a day.  Calendula Oil has wound healing properties.  There are a number of calendula creams, lotions and ointments also available that you can use. Mix five mL of apple cider vinegar with 50 mL of water. Using a cotton ball, dab it over the scabs. Leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse gently. Apple cider vinegar promotes new cell growth and has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.

TL;DR in English: Try onion or garlic juice. Use honey. Make a calendula oil mixture. Apply apple cider vinegar.

The best way to practice and prepare for hitting the beach is with another person nearby who knows more about surfing than you do, and can provide feedback and advice.  If you have a friend who surfs, ask for help. Friends don't usually charge and you can practice privacy of your own home rather than on the beach in front of others. Pay an instructor. This is the most reliable way to learn the basics of surfing in a clear, methodical way. For a fee, he or she will teach you all you need to know and give you pointers that will help you get out into the surf and having fun quickly. Knowing the basic rules of the surf will help you make sure that your first time out is fun and safe. Here are a few basic safety rules to keep in mind:  Respect the right of way. When there is more than one surfer paddling to catch a wave, the person who has paddled closest to the peak has the right of way for that wave. Don't "drop in" on others. Paddling to catch or dropping into a wave while someone is already riding closer to the peak is considered rude and potentially dangerous. Remember to scan the line of the wave for other surfers before you try to catch it. Very popular and busy beginner surfing locations don't usually have these strict rules and multiple people will often ride the same wave (sometimes referred to as a "party wave"). If two people are waiting on the same wave, whichever person catches it first and is closer to the peak has the right of way.

TL;DR in English:


Hit your opponent with your arm and shoulder. Wrap them up. Follow them through the back bump. Land on one hand and knee to protect both yourself and your opponent. Keep moving.

This is especially important for men. You do not necessarily need a wool suit jacket, but some form of structured jacket, in a traditional color like black or brown, is a good idea, even if you only end up carrying it. Black, gray, navy blue, and brown pants are the standard colors of choice. Khaki pants are common for men's business casual, but women can also pull them off for business casual, as well. Keep your khakis pressed and wrinkle-free. Dark colors, like black or dark brown, are the most traditional and best received. Light and dark colors are both acceptable, but avoid anything bold or flashy. Choose a top that flatters your figure without being skin tight or low enough in the front to be revealing. A solid color works best for casual fabrics, but a print in a rich hue can look appropriate on nicer fabrics like silk. Ties make you look more professional, and you may want to wear one if you intend to mingle and establish contacts for the future. If leaning toward a business casual style, however, ties are not necessary. Men can opt for a lace-up style or a more casual loafer, but either way, your shoes must be polished and in good condition. Closed-toe pumps or flats, are preferable.  Black and brown leather are ideal. This applies to both men and women. Black socks are the most common and most versatile color, but you should try to match the color of your socks to the color of your shoes or trousers in order to blend the two together. Avoid white or colored socks that might stand out. If so, wear a slip underneath. Avoid non-traditional jewelry, like lip piercings, and only wear subtle pieces that do not look flashy.

TL;DR in English: Bring a blazer or sports jacket. Wear dress pants if you want to leave a lasting impression. Consider khakis. Women may choose to wear slacks, khakis, or to try out a knee-length pencil skirt. Wear a button-down collared shirt or polo shirt. Women may consider a knit blouse, silk blouse, or close-weave sweater. Men - decide whether or not you want to wear a tie. Wear black or brown leather shoes. Women - wear flats or a low heel (no high heels). Match your socks to your trousers. Women, if you choose to wear a skirt or dress, check the fabric to see if it is clinging to you. Minimize your accessories.

Another way to hear through a wall is with a hole and plastic membrane, a method recently discovered by scientists in Japan and South Korea. First, drill a very small hole all the way through the wall. A power drill with a small, long bit will work best to do this.   Don’t expect to hear too much through the hole alone. In fact, a plain hole in a wall seriously hinders sound transmission. Try to pick a time when your neighbor is out to drill through the wall. Otherwise, they may well notice the sound or debris from the drilling. This is what should make the method work really well. You see, studies show that when you cover the hole with a thin membrane on one side the transmission becomes almost as if there is no wall, because the membrane equalizes the pressure on both sides of the hole and funnels sound through. Try using a common household item, namely plastic wrap. In fact, the scientists who conducted the initial study used plastic wrap themselves. Once you have your hole and plastic wrap in place, listen away! If executed properly, you should be able to hear what is happening in the opposite room quite clearly.  For even better results, try this method in conjunction with the first. Put a glass over the top of the hole and plastic membrane. Be aware that drilling a hole in the wall has very clear disadvantages, especially as regards secrecy. Your neighbor might hear the drilling; she might see the hole; or she might notice the drill debris on the floor and become suspicious. Use with care!

TL;DR in English: Drill a tiny hole. Cover the hole with a thin membrane. Listen away.

Beyond incorporating vitamin-rich foods to your diet, you can boost your levels of Vitamins A, C, D, or E through supplements. Beta-carotene supplements are available without a prescription, but are typically used to treat skin conditions.  Work beta-carotene-rich foods into your diet before turning to supplements. Consult your doctor to see which, if any, supplements are right for you. Speak with your doctor about this process if you’re looking to treat vitiligo, eczema, psoriasis, or another condition. You may be prescribed a 10 mg (0.00035 oz) melanin tablet to take orally. This is followed by a photochemotherapy treatment involving exposure to UV light. Alternatively, the tablet can be dissolved in a bath and taken topically. The synthetic peptide hormone Melanotan II will speed up the body’s production of melanin. This results in a darker skin tone without any UV exposure. In consultation with your doctor, acquire the product legally with a prescription. You can use a sterile 27 gauge 1 mL (0.034  fl oz) needle to inject a dose (0.025 mg (8.8×10−7 oz) of the hormone per 1 kg (2.2 lb) of body weight) into your abdominal folds. Repeat this process on a weekly basis until you reach your desired skin tone.  Note that Melanotan-II is not FDA approved. It is typically sold online. However, sale and consumption are banned in the U.S., Europe, and Australia.  Dermatologists warn against taking these injections due to the unknown long-term effects.  Melanotan II was designed as an erectile dysfunction treatment. Be aware of the hormone’s ED-related effects.

TL;DR in English: Take vitamin supplements to combat vitamin deficiencies. Consider melanin pills and PUVA therapy to treat serious skin conditions. Take synthetic melanin hormone injections to darken your skin.

Hit your opponent in the middle of their torso with your shoulder and bicep. You should connect with the bottom portion of their ribcage with your neck and head underneath your opponent’s arm. Try to hit your opponent across their entire body to spread out the impact and minimize how much it actually hurts.   Make sure your head and neck do not make contact with your opponent. You can suffer serious and permanent injury if you fail to do this. No matter how many times you successfully execute a spear, this is something you need to think about every time. Pros have had their careers ended by failing to do this.   Don’t hit them in the stomach. This will hurt the defender a lot and cause them to flip over forwards. If you think you’re going in too low, bail out by stopping or rolling your body away from your opponent. You have to grasp your opponent’s torso with your arm in order to properly perform a spear. You won’t maintain contact if you don’t and it will look more look a shoulder tackle than a spear. You’ll probably be able to reach your arm around just enough to hold onto a little bit of their back. Don’t try to grab as much of them as possible though, or you might trap your arm underneath your opponent when they land. They’ll begin to fall backwards as soon as you make contact. Keep holding onto them and follow them down to the mat throughout the entirety of their fall. This will make it look like you are driving them down into the mat, even if you’re really just following them as they fall down. You don’t want to land on top of your opponent or hit the ground next to them at full force. About halfway through the fall, extend one of your knees and your outside arm to catch your weight. You may find you prefer to land on one knee, but it will probably be easiest to land on the leg opposite of the one you last took a step with.  It might look kind of awkward at first, but many pros still land on one hand and knee when they hit their opponent with a spear. They just know how to get out of quickly so it...

If you have a large fish, you may want to use a plastic bottle instead of a glass.

Fill the noodle beverage boat with ice and beverages before placing in the pool.

Sexing your goldfish is probably the single most important task in breeding; obviously, if you put a bunch of males together because you can't tell them apart, you're not going to end up with any progeny. Here's what females tend to look like:  Look at the shape of their vent. The vent is a small opening between the anus and the anal fin where fish excrete egg or sperm, depending on the sex. Female vents are rounded and convex, like an outie. Feel the abdomen. The abdomen, between the pelvic and anal fins, is very soft and movable for females. Look at the pectoral fins. The pectoral fins of females are round and short. Overall, female goldfish tend to be a bit smaller and rounder than male goldfish, who tend to be longer and pointier. This, however, is a less reliable way to tell the two apart. Male goldfish tend to be a bit smaller than their female counterparts. They can also be distinguished by looking at the following traits:  The presence of small white stars, or tubercles. Tubercles are little bumps that appear on the fins, head, and even gills of males when they're ready to breed. A concave, or innie, vent. Males have a vent that slices inward instead of bulges outward. Feel the abdomen. The abdomens of males are much more rigid and hard than those of females. Look at the pectoral fins. The pectoral fins of males are pointier and longer compared to the short, round pectoral fins of the females. During breeding season, males start chasing around females, sluggishly at first but with increasing fervor. Introduce a known female into the tank and look for the reaction of the other fish: Males will show a lot of interest, whereas females will show none! Many breeders separate males and females at least a few weeks before breeding in order to create a greater desire to breed. Just like with humans, absence makes the heart grow fonder!

TL;DR in English: Know what a female goldfish tends to look like. Know what a male goldfish tends to look like. Look at the behavior of goldfish to tell apart males and females. Consider isolating males and females for a couple weeks before breeding.

Fill the jar with lukewarm water. Cover the top of the jar with muslin or cheesecloth. Secure it in place using a rubber band or tightly tied twine. Absolutely do not cover the jar with the solid lid. Leave the jar in a warm place, overnight. The lentils must soak for at least 8 hours. Your hot water cupboard or in the kitchen near to where to cooking is happening can make nice warm places to encourage germination. Pour off the water the next day. Leave the muslin cover in place while pouring (this keeps the lentils in there). Turn the jar upside down and drain well. The easiest way to do this is to sit it in a colander or similar kitchen tool.

TL;DR in English: Place the lentils into a large, clean jar. Cover the jar. Soak the lentils. Drain the lentils.

This is relevant if you have multiple fish in one tank. Isolating the sick fish will prevent him from transmitting disease to the healthy fish. To prevent possible ammonia and nitrate accumulation, do not put substrate or live plants in the treatment tank.  Use a sponge filter in the treatment tank. It is less likely than a chemical filter to filter out medications, and is unlikely to stress your fish (like a strong power filter).  Place an enclosed water heater in the tank to maintain a water temperature that is recommended for your specific type of fish.  An air stone will help keep the tank well oxygenated.  The supplies for your treatment tank are available at your local pet store. Continue to monitor the other fish for signs for fin rot. Separate and treat them if necessary. In the United States, over-the-counter antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin, trimethoprim, and sulfadimidine) are used to treat fin rot. The antibiotic is typically added directly to the tank’s water. Carefully follow the medication’s instructions to ensure effective treatment.  Outside of the United States, you may have to obtain the antibiotics through your veterinarian. It is common to use a combination of antibiotics to treat fin rot, since the disease could be caused by several types of bacteria. Methylene blue is a non-antibiotic treatment that can also be used to treat fin rot. Depending on the severity of fin rot, fin rot can also be treated by trimming the affected fins to remove the damaged tissue. This medical procedure requires that your fish be sedated, so you will need to schedule an appointment with your veterinarian to have this done.  Your veterinarian will use sterile scissors to remove the damaged tissue. He or she will then treat the clean edge with antiseptic. Your fish may need additional treatment if fin rot has become extensive.  The fin tissue is more likely to grow back with minor cases of fin rot. Your fish should remain in the treatment tank until his clinical signs have improved. A good rule of thumb is to...

TL;DR in English: Move your sick fish to a separate tank. Administer antibiotic treatment to your fish. Trim the affected fins. Keep your fish isolated. Address the underlying conditions.

Put your boat to good use by filling it halfway with fresh ice and then add your drinks. Consider using only cans or plastic bottles instead of glass. If a glass bottle breaks in your pool you’ll not only have a huge mess but it could create a hazardous situation and a costly clean-up.

The most common cause of itchy skin is dry skin. The more water you drink, the more water gets absorbed into the skin. The recommendation is to drink at least six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day.  If you are very active or sweat a lot, you will need to drink more water. Limit your intake of caffeine and alcohol as well since these tend to dry out your skin. Use lukewarm or cool water and be sure to moisturize your whole body after each shower. Don’t stay in the shower or bath longer than 30 minutes.  Many people don’t realize it but showering or bathing actually dries out the skin, especially if you use harsh or heavy soaps. Avoid any soaps that contain dyes, perfumes, or alcohol. Lukewarm water is recommended because water that is too hot can damage the skin by stripping off protective oils that help to keep the skin moisturized. Select a moisturizer with as few added chemical ingredients as possible. In so doing, you will reduce your skin’s exposure to chemicals that you may be sensitive to or which may actually worsen the itching.  Avoid products with added alcohol or fragrances. Alcohol can dry out your skin and again, make the itching problem worse. Fragrances, which are often dissolved in alcohol, can do the same.  Petroleum jelly is fragrance-free and can often work very well to keep irritated patches moisturized.  Studies suggest that creams that include omega-3 fatty acids may be helpful in reducing symptoms of eczema, a condition that causes severe skin itching. You can also make a moisturizing cream yourself. Apply any of the following homemade moisturizers on your face, body, and hands. Let the moisturizer soak in for a few minutes and then wipe or rinse off any excess.   Cream-Avocado-Honey moisturizer - Mix 3 tablespoons of fresh heavy cream, 1/4 fresh avocado and 1 tablespoon of honey in a blender until it is smooth.   Shea butter moisturizer - Take 4 ounces of shea butter at room temperature and mash it using a wooden spoon. Add 2 tablespoons of either almond oil or olive oil...

TL;DR in English: Keep yourself hydrated. Avoid showering more than once a day. Use high-quality moisturizing cream on your skin. Make a homemade moisturizer. Exfoliate (with caution!

Taking a self defense class is the best way to learn the proper techniques you’ll need to quickly disable an attacker. Additionally, you’ll be trained to access the aggressive, ruthless mindset you need to tap into when attacked.  The goal is to train until your response is instinctual—you need to be able to identify and attack your opponent’s weak spots before they can react. Self defense classes are often offered at martial arts studios, fitness clubs, community centers, college campuses, and other locations. If you can run away from a potential attacker, do it. If you have the chance to join a crowd of people or call the police, do those as well. Always avoid the physical confrontation whenever you can. However, also accept that physical conflict may be inevitable with an attacker. If this is the case, do not hesitate to use every means at your disposal to defend yourself. If you feel directly threatened and cannot escape, don’t wait for your attacker to make the first move. Hit them first with a disabling blow, then run away at the first opportunity you get. Strike without mercy in order to disable your attacker. Remember that they chose to attack you, and therefore deserve whatever damage you cause to them. Your goal should always be to temporarily disable your attacker with a single, quick strike so that you can run away. When this isn’t possible, though, quickly move from one strike to another until your do have a chance to flee or until your opponent is completely neutralized.  Self defense training will help you to build effective combination attacks. You might, for instance, start with a poke to their eyes, follow with a knee to their groin, and then finish with a knee to their nose. Attack until you can run away, unless you can’t run away—in that case, strike your attacker until they are immobilized, unconscious, or (if there is no other option) deceased.

Tea tree oil has natural antimicrobial, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties. Although the exact mechanisms are not yet understood, tea tree oil has been shown to be effective in killing lice nits and reducing the number of live lice. It may also have lice-repelling properties.  A combination of tea tree oil and lavender oil has been shown to kill lice eggs and live lice. Look for pure lavender oil. While many shampoos and conditioners have tea tree oil in them, they are unlikely to have a high enough concentration to be effective. A minimum concentration of 2% tea tree oil is required to kill lice nits.  Look for “steam-distilled” tea tree oil from the Melaleuca alternifolia tree. This type of comb has very closely spaced teeth that help you examine the hair near the scalp. If you don’t have one, purchase a magnifying glass too. This will help you examine the scalp after treatment. Because pure tea tree oil can cause skin irritation, it’s best to mix it with a mild shampoo before using it as a treatment.  Use an eye dropper to put 2-4 drops of tea tree oil in a small bowl. Add 2-4 drops of lavender oil. Add 96-98 drops of a mild shampoo. (If you want to eyeball it, add enough shampoo to make a small pool about the size of a quarter.) Add a few drops of olive or coconut oil, as this will help suffocate the lice.  Stir the mixture together until blended thoroughly. Pay extra attention to the scalp area, as that is where most of the nits and lice will be. Cover the hair with a shower cap or swimming cap. Leave the treatment in for 30 minutes. If your child experiences itching or burning during the treatment, this may be a sign of an allergic reaction. Rinse their hair immediately with warm water and re-wash the hair with a very mild shampoo. Towel-dry the hair and then allow it to air dry. Repeat the wash if your child still has an itchy or red scalp. Thoroughly lather the hair and work through it with your fingers to make sure you eliminate as many lice as possible. Rinse...

TL;DR in English: Purchase pure tea tree oil. Purchase a lice comb. Make a tea tree oil solution with shampoo. Work the shampoo mixture into the hair. Work the shampoo into a lather and rinse. Apply conditioner to the hair. Use a lice comb to comb through the hair. Repeat Steps 3-7 daily for 7 days. Use a shampoo containing tea tree oil regularly.

It should be relatively big and away from your parents' room (they will most likely prefer to sleep undisturbed). If your room doesn't have enough beds, lay down some airbeds or mattresses for your guests. If your parents ask you to use your own bedroom (assuming it's too small/near their bedroom), explain why it would be better for you to choose another room that is bigger and/or far away from their room. Chances are, they'll appreciate your consideration of them when asking to use a room where your late night chatting won't disturb them. Your friends wouldn't want to be disturbed or have a cranky parent drop in and yell at you to go to sleep.

any panels together that need it. Any panels that were sewn together before will need to be sewn together again. Pin the panels together first with sewing pins, then check it against the old panels and the chair before sewing them together.  Use straight seams for sewing upholstery fabric. You will also need to add any pleats and folds back into the panels. Strong fabric can easily break a domestic sewing machine. You may need access to an industrial one, or you can send the pieces to someone else to stitch together for you. Create bias tape by cutting 1.5 in (3.8 cm) strips diagonally across the grain of the fabric. Sew strips together with diagonal seams by placing 2 strips at a right angle to each other. Sew the strips together so you make a flat edge across the corner.  Trim the corner off on the other side of the seam, then flatten the fabric out, and you'll have connected the strips. Keep joining strips this way until you have enough to do all the piping. Bias tape is just strips of fabric cut diagonally along the grain of the fabric (on the bias). Lay a piece of welting in the center of the bias tape on the wrong side of the fabric. Fold the fabric over the welting and pin it in place with sewing pins. Run a line of stitches along the fabric on the inside edge of the welting.  Welting is a type of cord that you wrap in pieces of fabric to form piping. Use a zipper foot to sew the welting in place. Place the panel on the chair and pin it in place. Mark where the piping should go, and then pull the panel off. Lay the piping along the right side of the fabric and sew a line along the inner edge of the piping to hold it in place. You can also sew it between 2 panels if you're making a seam with piping.

Take it out yourself and hold it facing the audience. At no point in this trick do you see what this card is. If you don't have a surface in front of you, have them simply take the deck and pick a card. This way then verify themselves that it's not a trick deck, too. As you're holding it up, lightly pinch the bottom corner, bending it just slightly. The back of the card is still facing you.  Don't make the pinch obvious to the unassuming eye. It should be something only you can see because you're looking for it. This works best with a set of cards that has been used before. A brand new fresh pack may make a bend a little too obvious. Getting someone else to do the work will make your trick seem more viable. Once the card is back in, shuffle the deck or have them shuffle it themselves. If someone else is shuffling your cards, have them hand them back to you when they're finished. Any direction is fine. Scan the cards or fan them out, telling your audience you need to get a read on the cards. Ham it up, making the trick truly entertaining. You have a couple options from here:  Find a way to get that card to the top of the deck. You can then put the cards back in the package making sure the top card is between the box and the closing flap so you can pull it out. Start throwing out the cards that aren't theirs. Pick them up acting like you're going to say, "This is your card!" but then at the last minute you change your mind and say no. This can be done half a dozen times before you actually approach their card. Make it so the card is on the bottom. Than you can pretend to be frustrated as you go through the deck, not seeing their card. At the very end, there it is, waiting to amaze your friends. Whichever method you choose, make a show of it. Grin smugly, knowing that you just fooled them with simple magic. And remember not to reveal your trickery! The traditional pickpocket method is to place the packet in your pocket or in a spectator's pocket and amaze people by pulling out the specified card on top of the...

TL;DR in English: Fan out your cards face down to a spectator and ask him/her to point to one. Pinch the bottom right corner with your index and middle finger. Put the card back in the deck or ask a spectator to. When the cards are all back in your hands, discreetly look for a card that is slightly bent. Show the spectator his or her card.

Start with tropical fish if your aquarium is heated. Select coldwater fish if your aquarium isn’t heated. Raise saltwater fish for hardier pets that require more maintenance. Pick fish that go well together in a tank. Pick an appropriately-sized tank for the fish you wish to keep.

If you have a table, dresser, or desk that you don’t want anymore, take it out of your room. Quickly look around for any other obvious objects that don’t belong or that you no longer want.  Your bedroom should be a place focused on sleeping. Too much extra stuff in it can not only make it more cramped and cluttered, but also affect how well you sleep. Removing extra furniture and items will also help you focus on the things you need to clean and organize. You should have 3 sorting categories: throw away, keep, and donate. Grab your cleaning supplies as well so you have everything nearby.  Depending on how dirty your room is, you may need 1 to 3 trash bags. You should have a duster and wipes no matter what. Use a vacuum if you have carpet, and a mop and/or wet Swiffer if you have hardwood. If you have a mirror, get some glass cleaner and old rags. Listen to your favorite music that you can sing along with and/or dance along to while you work. Listening to your favorite music will help keep you focused and make cleaning and organizing more enjoyable. For example, you can cha cha across the room to pick something up or slide around in your socks. Pick up everything off of your floor that doesn’t belong there. This means anything that isn’t a piece of furniture or decoration.  Gather your dirty clothes into your hamper and then, before you continue to clean, throw your dirty clothes in the wash. Also, throw your sheets, linens, and bath towels in the laundry. If you don’t have a hamper, you can use a trash bag to transport your clothes. Once you’ve picked up loose clothes and obvious trash, move everything else into a central location. This will help you focus on the next task of getting rid of junk. Gathering everything in one spot will give you a clear idea of how much you have and allow you to start getting rid of things you don’t need. Make separate piles for trash, donating, and stuff that you use or that you want to keep. It’s a good idea to get 3 bins or bags to sort your items.  Throw all your trash in...

Cut clean cotton cloth into squares that are roughly 5 inches (12.7 cm) along each side.  Cotton works well because it is a natural fiber and relatively breathable. Avoid fabrics with fibers that are spaced too tightly together. Also avoid synthetic fabrics. You can use a rag or old piece of cloth for this, but make sure that the material you use is clean. Fill a small spray bottle with undiluted distilled white vinegar. Spray both sides of each square until moist to the touch.  Let dry slightly. The cloth can be moist, but it should not be dripping wet by the time you add it to the dryer. The vinegar is the only element in this fabric softener formula that lends itself to actually softening your clothes. It may not be as strong as a liquid fabric softener using vinegar, but some of the effects should still remain. Drop 3 to 5 drops of your favorite essential oil onto a cloth square. Spread the drops out so that they seep into the fibers of the entire square. The essential oil will give your clothes a pleasant yet mild fragrance. You can technically use this method without the use of essential oils, but since the softening effects are less powerful than a liquid fabric softener alternative, it would make more sense to take advantage of the deodorizing and re-scenting abilities of this method. Place the scented fabric softener sheet directly into your dryer as you prepare to dry a load of clothes. Run a standard drying cycle. You do not need to do anything special from this point on. Each dryer sheet can be used for two or three loads, but you may need to refresh the scent by adding 3 drops or more of the essential oil before use. Refresh the softening properties by giving the sheet another quick spray of vinegar.

TL;DR in English: Cut cotton cloth into small squares. Spray each square with white vinegar. Add a few drops of essential oil onto one square. Throw the scented fabric into your dryer.

You can look up your J7's unique IMEI code, which you can then verify with Samsung. This will immediately pull up a window that displays your IMEI code. If this dial code doesn't do anything, you likely have a fake device. The number should be 14-15 digits long. You can start a live chat at samsung.com/support/ or call 1-800-SAMSUNG. Explain that you're concerned your device is fake. The support rep should be able to check to see if your device is genuine. You may have to wait for a reply.

Most aquarium fish sold in stores are tropical fish. There are many types to choose from, including neon tetras, guppies, and bettas. These fish need a consistent aquarium heater in order to survive. Many warm water fish serve as a beautiful but low-maintenance addition to an aquarium. Maintaining the water temperature is very important for this type of fish. Check the heater often and consider getting an aquarium thermometer. Goldfish and minnows are a few popular fish for aquariums without heaters. Many subtropical fish survive well in cool aquariums. In addition, some tropical fish are hardy enough to live without a heater. Loaches, minnows, danios, and even crayfish and shrimp live in cooler waters.  Coldwater fish tend to be hardier than tropical fish, but they often need more room. A well-kept goldfish will grow much bigger than you expect! Coldwater fish often require a water temperature a little below what tropical fish need. A goldfish, for instance, requires water between 65 and 72 °F (18 and 22 °C). Saltwater fish are a little trickier to maintain than freshwater fish. Saltwater fish tend to be more expensive and require you to keep a close watch on the aquarium’s salinity level. If you are willing to watch the salinity, saltwater fish are almost as easy to care for as any tropical breed.  Some examples of saltwater fish include firefish, yellow shrimp goby, Klein’s butterfly fish, and coral beauty angelfish. Metal components in saltwater will rust over time. Get a tank and equipment designed for use with saltwater to reduce rusting. You may feel tempted to fill your tank with whatever colorful species you can find. Before choosing a fish, read up about what fish go well together. Stick to a limited number of fish from a few species, avoiding any that are territorial or predatory. Try to get fish that originated from the same part of the world, since they are more likely to live together peacefully in nature.  If you’re unsure about which fish to get, ask employees at the pet store for advice. For...

Purchase 2 boxes of hair dye if you have long or coarse hair. Get a glass or plastic bowl for mixing the dye and developer in. Place an old towel or newspaper where your hair dye will sit. Put on latex or plastic gloves. Combine the hair dye and developer using a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio. Use a plastic fork to mix together the dye and developer.

There's a thin line between hobby and vice. Maybe your grades are slipping, your relationships are deteriorating, or your health has begun to suffer from spending too many hours plastered to the couch. Whatever it is, taking stock of the ways that your compulsion has done more harm than good can give you the motivation you need to leave it behind.  Freeing yourself from the grip of video games will help you overcome your depressive or isolationist tendencies, get more enjoyment out of real-world experiences, and make time for the people and things that truly matter to you.  If you've tried weaning yourself off video games in the past and it hasn't worked, cutting the cord may be your best course of action. This is probably the simplest and most effective way to break a destructive gaming addiction. Just put down the controller and don’t look back. It will require tremendous willpower, no doubt. Over time, however, it will get easier, to the point where video games no longer have the same hold over you that they once did.  Anytime you're tempted to sit down and play, take it as a challenge to get stronger. Consciously saying no to unhealthy desires conditions the part of your brain that's responsible for regulating self-control.  This approach may be simple, but it’s not easy. It all goes back to making a purposeful commitment to not be a slave to your urges. Box up your console and games and stow them in the attic or basement, on a high shelf in your closet, or in another spot that’s not readily accessible. It’s much easier to give something up for good if it’s not staring you in the face all the time.  Actually make it hard for yourself. Bury your console under a pile of boxes in the garage, put it in the trunk of your car, or take it apart and hide each component in a different place. Do whatever it takes to keep yourself away. If you do most of your gaming on the computer, uninstall addictive programs from your hard drive and delete any accounts you have for online games. Then, make an effort to police...

TL;DR in English: Think about the toll that gaming is taking on your life. Summon the resolve to walk away once and for all. Put your gaming equipment away where you can't easily get to it. Consider giving away your games and gaming systems.

Newspaper usually works well for this, if it is big enough. If you can’t find a newspaper large enough, any large craft paper will work. As you draw around the string frame, leave about 1 inch (2.5 cm) extra around it. You don’t need to be too careful about making perfectly straight lines because what you trace will be folded later. Set the frame to the side and cut the kite shape out. You can discard the extra paper, as you won’t need it anymore. Be careful to stay right on the line, or even outside it a little bit, so you don’t cut the kite too small. Once you have finished cutting it out, lay it flat on the table and lay the frame on top of it. Make sure the frame is centered on the kite body. Going around the kite one side at a time, fold the paper over the string. Tape the corners first and then put some tape around each folded edge. For extra support, you can put a few pieces of tape along the dowels to secure them in place. Now that the kite is fully constructed, tie a string to it, which you will hold when you fly the kite. You’ll want it to be around 20 yards (18 meters) or so. Make sure it’s long enough that the kite can fly freely.

TL;DR in English: Trace around the frame on a large sheet of paper. Cut out the kite shape. Fold the edges of the paper over the string and tape it in place. Tie a string around the cross section.

Hair that is longer than your shoulders, or is extremely thick, will require more dye than what's in just one box. Prepare both boxes together at the same time.  It's better to have too much hair dye rather than having not enough to cover all of your hair. You can also purchase the dye and developer separately from specialty hair product stores. This is where you will combine your hair dye products, and what will keep it all contained. Never use a metal bowl as it can oxidise the dye, which means that your hair color might not change.  Metal bowls can also cause hazardous chemical reactions. If you dye your hair regularly, having a dedicated bowl is best. This will protect the surface from the dye. Make sure that you move everything out of the way so that the surface is flat. If you're using a towel, pick a towel that you don't mind getting stained. A dark colored towel is another option if you don't have an old towel or newspaper. It will adequately hide stains that are caused by the dye. If you purchased a box of hair dye, then it's likely that a pair of gloves will have been included in the pack. Put the gloves on before you begin mixing the dye and developer, as this will protect your skin from the chemicals.  This will also help to prevent your skin from getting stained by the dye. Now is also a good time to drape an old towel over your shoulders to protect your clothes when it comes to applying the hair dye. You could also wear an old t-shirt. The ratio of hair dye to developer will be specified in the instructions that come with your hair dye package. Following the correct ratio is crucial for your hair to be dyed properly. If you buy a box of packaged hair dye, then the box will normally have the correct ratio in each unit of dye and developer. However if you buy the dye and developer separately, you will have to measure these out. Using a small set of scales will help. Mix these together until the mixture is smooth and consistent in color and texture. You can also use a silicone mini whisk to achieve...

You can prepare rice water with any type of rice, though white, brown, and jasmine rice are common options. If you already own rice, whatever kind of rice you have on hand will work. If you want to make large quantities of rice water, you can increase the amount of rice that you use, as long as you remember to also increase the water. Keep in mind that rice water has a shelf life of 1week. Pour water over the rice and swirl the water to remove dirt. Strain out the rice and return it to the empty bowl. Repeat the steps to wash your rice a second time.

TL;DR in English: Choose your rice. Put 1/2 cup (92.5 g) of rice into a bowl. Wash the rice.

A person who is truly emotionally intelligent will be an adept listener.  Rather than dominating the conversation, cutting people off, or constantly interjecting, you will note that they are thoughtfully engaged in listening to the other person.  Often times, they will summarize what the person has just said to them to signal that they understand and hear them.  You might hear them say things like “so what I’m hearing is that it’s not the job that you don’t like, it’s the miscommunication from the staff that bothers you.” They will also be able to manage any intense emotions that they might feel so that they can communicate clearly. Emotionally intelligent people are typically also highly empathetic.  Empathy is defined as the ability to understand and share the feelings of others.  A person who is empathetic is likely to ask a lot of questions and display curiosity and genuine concern when someone is upset or having an issue.  You will likely see them consoling others when they are crying. People often go to them when they are having an issue and want support.  Notice the people in your circle whom others tend to flock to. Another testament of those with EI is being gracious and thoughtful.  This can be evidenced through both physical actions and verbal responses.  For instance, the person who regularly leaves their trash for others to clean up is likely not emotionally intelligent.  Likewise, the person who constantly talks about how great their significant other is with a coworker who is undergoing a divorce is likely not EI. Someone who is EI will also have good boundaries. They will not try to impose themselves emotionally on other people and they will not take advantage of other people. A person with EI will steer away from gossip and speaking negatively about others, unless necessary.  If you regularly hear them bashing others or notice that they tend to be in the middle of drama, then this person is likely not emotionally intelligent.  EI people tend to be very honest but not unnecessarily blunt....

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to their listening skills. Notice empathy. Pay attention to courtesy and conscientiousness. Assess how they talk about others. Notice how they work and get along with others.

If you want to get started praying effectively, all you need is some time and some peace and quiet. Whether you're at home or in public, find a nice comfortable place to sit quietly for a few minutes and center yourself. That's all you need. Can't find a time-out from your hectic schedule? You don't need a perfectly serene meditation room to pray effectively, though it helps some of us to be centered and calm. But you can pray anywhere, anytime, in any kind of environment. A quick prayer in the middle of a hectic work shift? Make it happen. A shout of praise after you score a touchdown? Good call. Driving down the highway during rush-hour? Just as long as you drive safely. In some religions, it's common to prostrate yourself and touch your head to the ground during prayer. In others, sitting in the lotus position is essential to meditation and prayer. In others, raising your hand and rejoicing loudly is sometimes common. But there's no one way to pray except the way in which you feel the most comfortable communicating with your god.  If it helps to speak out loud, go ahead and do it. If you'd rather keep your prayers to yourself, that's perfectly fine too. It helps some practitioners to bow their heads and close their eyes during prayer, but it's also perfectly fine to leave your eyes open. Speak normally. Prayer doesn't need to involve a lot of "thou" "thee" or "thines." The all-knowing, all-feeling being that you worship is smart enough to understand your language, whatever that language is. Prayer is a practice, a way of life. If you want to start praying effectively, try to set some time aside each day to pray. Even a few minutes each day can make a difference. Some common times for prayer include:  Before meals Before sleep After waking During idle time During stressful moments Learning more about prayer from a respected elder or experienced member of your religion can be quite helpful in learning the style and the substance that goes into prayer.

By now, television is one of the most widely used sources to gain general knowledge. Although there is plenty of questionable viewing content on television, there is still plenty of newsworthy and entertaining programming available as a rich resource for information.   Try to stay diverse in watching television by watching news programs such as CNN, public broadcasting (PBS), game shows (Jeopardy), and educational programming (National Geographic) with documentaries, films based on facts, and instructional programming (Food Network) to expand your general knowledge. Watching television is largely a passive exercise that does not require a lot of thinking. So, try to limit the number of hours sitting in front of the television. Search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing enable you to find any answer to any question within seconds. Routinely use these internet sites to discover current news, trends, and topics of interests.   Many of these search engines are one-stop shops for information.

Unlike most essays, a speech is written to be read out loud, and your audience will be more engaged if they feel like you’re having a conversation with them. As you’re writing your introduction, imagine you’re talking to someone and trying to convince them of your point as opposed to writing a research paper. Just make sure your introduction is still authoritative and professional.  To make your writing more conversational, try to use brief sentences, and avoid including jargon unless you need it to make your point. Using contractions, like “I’ll” instead of “I will,” “wouldn’t” instead of “would not,” and “they’re” instead of “they are,” can help make your writing sound more conversational. Being concise is especially important when you’re writing a speech since you want to hold your audience’s attention. Long, convoluted sentences will make your introduction hard to follow, and you risk people tuning out. Make sure you don’t include more sentences than necessary when you’re writing the different components of your speech. Being aware of your audience while you’re writing will help you craft a more persuasive message. As you’re writing the introduction to your speech, think about who will be listening when you deliver it, and use that to help you decide what information and strategy you’ll use. For example, if your audience will be made up of the other students in your college class, including a pop culture reference in your introduction might be an effective way to grab their attention and help them relate to your topic. However, if you’re giving your speech in a more formal setting, a pop culture reference might fall flat. It will be easier to persuade your audience if they feel like they’re having a conversation with you as opposed to listening to a lecture. To help them feel like they’re a part of the conversation, don’t be afraid to reference them or directly speak to them in your introduction.  For example, you could write something like, “I know a lot of you may strongly disagree with me on this....

TL;DR in English: Write in a conversational tone. Be concise when you’re writing your introduction. Tailor your writing to your audience. Connect with your audience. Practice reading your introduction out loud.

Your child may struggle in public places because the other children are strangers. Teaching a simple “Hi, my name is Donny. Do you want to play together?” will go a long way. This is a great thing to role play with their toys. Ask your child to introduce their toys to one another. Once your child feels comfortable with playdates at home, you can begin encouraging socialization at places like parks, playgrounds, and indoor play centers. Trying to involve yourself too much may be stressful for your toddler. Instead, take a seat where you can supervise your toddler. When they are ready, they will approach other children. If your child does start playing with others, keep an eye on them in case there's a fight or they start playing too roughly. If your child gets in an argument, gets upset about something, or feels tired and cranky, it's fine to call it quits and go home. Tell them beforehand, “Once you're tired, let me know, and we can go home.” If your child is reluctant to play in public, giving them an “out” like this can make it seem less scary. At first, they may not want to play for long, but slowly, they'll become more confident. Try to recognize your child's attempts to be social, even if they are rather timid and short-lived at first. They will build confidence and social skills over time. For example, you might say, “I noticed that you asked some other children to play. It looked like you had a great time." When you are in public places with your child, you can be a good social role model by chatting with other parents. Let your child see that it's possible to make new acquaintances. If your child really gets along with a new friend, try to find their parent or guardian. This may be a great opportunity to set up a playdate with someone new!

TL;DR in English: Practice introductions. Take your toddler to places where other children will be. Let your child choose if they play with other children. Allow your child to leave a game at will. Acknowledge your child's efforts to get involved in group activities. Talk to other parents.

You need to make sure your lamb is not being over or under fed. There are several ways to make sure a lamb has received an adequate meal.  At the end of a meal, a lamb's sides should be straight from the hips to the rib. This is ideal, as it means your lamb has had an appropriate amount of food.  If you notice your lamb's sides are puffed out after feeding, reduce the amount of milk in the next meal as you likely overfed her. Lambs are often bottle fed because they're orphaned or abandoned. If a lamb cannot rely on the body heat of a flock, her body heat might become dangerously low and hypothermia could result. There are measures you can take to prevent hypothermia.  A lamb in the beginning states of hypothermia will appear weak, gaunt, and will probably be hunched over. A rectal thermometer can be used to confirm a low body heat. A normal lamb will have a body heat of 102-103 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything lower than this can be a sign of a problem.  Wrap your lamb in a towel to warm her. You can also use a hair dryer to warm a lamb. You can also buy a lamb jacket, a device meant to stay on a lamb's body overnight. Heat lamps are not advised as they can cause fires in a barn.  Keep your barn free of drafts, especially in the winter months. Pneumonia is a common problem in lambs, especially those that need to be bottle fed as they do not always get the proper antibodies to fight off bacteria even with colostrum replacers.  Pneumonia is marked by respiratory problems, an increased heart rate, and fever. Lambs suffering from pneumonia might not want to nurse.  Drafts and dampness are the primary causes of pneumonia. Keep a clean, dry barn free of drafts to prevent pneumonia in your lambs.  If your lamb develops pneumonia, get antibiotics from a veterinarian and administer them as soon as possible.

TL;DR in English: Monitor a lamb after a meal to make sure she's gotten enough to eat. Take measures to prevent hypothermia. Guard against pneumonia.

Doing exercises will help you learn to sing in different registers, such as the sounds that come from your chest voice and your head voice. Start by picking a sound and singing it in different notes, slowly making your voice higher and stronger. Your chest voice is the lower register, and your head voice is the upper register. Say the word "hey" out loud in a normal voice. Now continue saying hey, hearing the word bounce from your mouth, saying it in a higher voice next time. You can also say "hey" and expand it, turning it into more of a "heeeey." Make sure you're not yelling the word "hey"—it should be as similar to your normal speaking voice as possible. When you say "wheh," the sound bounces off of your nasal pharynx, making your voice sound louder and almost as if it were coming out of your ears. Practice saying "wheh" repeatedly, drawing out the word, until you feel it reverberating next to your nose. " Press your hands to the sides of your core so that you'll be able to feel it move. Make the "ffff" sound and then add a "t" sound at the end, almost as if you're saying "foot" without the 'oo' sound. You should feel your stomach contract when making the 'f' sound and go back out when the 't' sound comes. Draw out the 'f' as you progress to really feel your core being engaged. You can sing "ah aah ah," "hm mmm mm," or any other sound as long as it has three syllables. The second syllable should be sung in a higher note than the first and third, and each time you repeat the whole phrase, go up an octave to really exercise your voice.

Start a small flame, using something like a lighter or a small candle. Hold the plastic so that it’s touching the flame, being careful not to burn yourself.  A long neck lighter would be the best and safest option since the flame won’t be near your fingers. You don't need to cut the plastic into smaller sections when holding it in the flame. ABS plastic will produce a yellow flame while other plastics may produce a green, blue, or orange flame. Look for blue edges around the yellow flame, indicating it’s ABS plastic. ABS plastic has a very strong, acrid smell when it burns. If the plastic is giving off a stinging smell that’s irritating to your nose, it could be ABS.  Don’t inhale too much of the fumes when smelling the plastic, as some plastics can be toxic when melted. ABS plastic has also been said to smell rubbery. When you’re holding the plastic in the flame, you should see black smoke if it’s ABS. The air will also have a sooty quality. ABS plastic is one that continues to burn even after the flame is taken away or shut off. Look for drips produced from the fire as well, indicating it’s ABS plastic.

TL;DR in English: Place the plastic against a flame. Observe the color of the flame when the plastic is in the fire. Notice a pungent smell if the plastic is ABS. Look for black smoke coming from the flame. Remove the plastic from the flame to see if it continues burning.

Almost all major airports offer WiFi of some kind, although you might have to pay for access to faster or longer-lasting connections. Look up what access is offered at your airport beforehand so you know what to expect at the terminal. Bring work or study materials to make good use of your free time. Set up shop in a food court if you want to work on a table, or find a gate that’s not in use for a quieter spot to concentrate. Some airports offer small fitness centers, and airports in San Francisco and Dallas/Fort Worth even have yoga rooms.  If a gym isn’t available, do a few simple exercises like pushups, jumping jacks, or squats for a quick pre-flight workout in the terminal.  Make sure your airport gym also has a shower before you start working up a sweat. Most airports will have at least a couple small gift shops, and the bigger ones boast huge malls. Buy last-minute gifts or treat yourself to some new clothes or a book, but make sure your purchases can fit in your carry-on luggage, or ask if the store can ship them to you. Keep an eye out for duty-free shops in international terminals.

TL;DR in English: Hook up to the WiFi. Work remotely. Get some exercise. Shop in the terminal.

This treatment involves the compression of the wound or injured skin to reduce skin tension. Experts believe that compression will reduce cell production and flatten scars. This type of treatment works best on newly developed scars. You will need to wear a compression wrap or tape all day for several weeks or even months. If you have a keloid on your ear as a result of a piercing, you can wear special compression earrings to treat the scars. Using aloe can help reduce keloids, especially if the scar is relatively fresh. Buy a bottle of Aloe Vera gel or use fresh aloe from the plant. Apply the gel at least twice a day. Similarly, you can mix 2 teaspoons of aloe with 1 teaspoon of vitamin E oil, and 1 tablespoon of cocoa butter. Apply a thick layer to the damaged area and leave on your skin for 30 minutes. Then, wipe any excess of the skin and allow the rest to dry naturally. This natural scar treatment lightens the top layer of skin cells, causing the scar to look less noticeable. Rub a few drops of fresh lemon juice over the scar twice a day for best results. Research has demonstrated that the quercetin in onion is a powerful antioxidant that inhibits collagen production and reduces the appearance of keloids. Purchase onion extract gel at a local health store and apply several times each day until you notice a reduction in the scar tissue. This natural substance is said to help reduce the appearance of scars by fostering healthy skin growth. Buy a cream containing vitamin E, or purchase vitamin E capsules that contain an oil you can rub over the keloids.

TL;DR in English: Try pressure therapy treatment. Try Aloe Vera gel. Apply lemon juice to the area. Use onion extract. Try vitamin E.

Frangipanis prefer to be in the ground but also do well in terra cotta containers.  They go dormant in winter, but cannot withstand frost.  If you live in a place with harsh winters (temperatures below freezing), a container is best so the plant can be moved inside or stored during winter.  Early spring is the best time to plant a frangipanis so it is established and blooming heavily by summer. Plunging, or burying a potted plumeria in the ground, can be done in cooler climates. This way you can keep your plant in the ground, yet still be able to easily move it inside during winter. Choose a spot where it will get at least 6 hours of sun daily. You may also want to plant it somewhere you will be able to enjoy the lovely scent its flowers produce. Great locations include placing them near patios and windows, or beside driveways and walkways.  If you have a patio or deck with outdoor seating, plant your frangipanis nearby so you can see and smell the beautiful blooms all summer. Or, if using a container, find a sunny spot on the deck to keep it.  Their shallow roots make them well suited for planting along pathways and other hardscapes, like pools and water features. Your hole should be as deep as the root ball and three times as wide. It may help to loosen the soil first by digging in with the tip of your shovel several times, wiggling your shovel around each time to break up the dirt. Containers should be at least 40 cm (15¾ inches) in diameter.  Terra cotta pots absorb heat, helping simulate a tropical environment for the roots, and provide good drainage since they are porous. They are also usually top heavy, which will help support the plant as it grows. You can use a plastic pot if you prefer or want a cheaper, decorative option, as long as you If you take special care to use a good quality, well-draining soil. When planting, you may find the soil has poor drainage, like clay or silt, when you dig into it. You will need to mix this with compost or commercial soil made for dry-loving plants before planting....

The sun can work wonders in speeding up drying time while offering an antimicrobial effect for your books. Find a spot outdoors safe from animals and bugs, and place your books in the sun.  This method is best for newer books, as old books can actually be damaged by exposure to sunlight. If you do not have an open area with access to sunlight, find a large, sunny window. With the pages facing the sun, place your book upright, fanning the pages out as much as you can. This will allow the maximum amount of sunlight and warmth to reach your book. The more warmth and sunlight your book receives, the faster it will dry. Make sure the pages do not clump or stick together, as sunlight could encourage already-tacky pages to stick together. Dry your book in this fashion for 2-3 days to eliminate any lingering odors or moisture. The sun will both dry and deodorize your book, while drying the pages will prevent the growth of mold.  To prevent dampness from recurring during the drying period, bring books inside during the night and place them back outside once the sun is shining. If you cannot keep your books safely outside for this period, you can also use a large indoor space with access to a window.

TL;DR in English: Choose a sunny, open area. Place the book open and upright. Dry for 2-3 days.

By creating an acoustically superior workstation, you'll be able to hear the features of the tracks you are listening to with greater detail. This will allow you to draw out the features of your tracks with greater accuracy. One of the most important parts of mixing a song is knowing what to highlight and what to downplay, and being able to hear these features will help. To improve your work space's acoustics:  Be aware of room modes, or how the shape your room can impact the frequencies of your sound. Room modes have been especially known to cause difficulty with low to low-mid frequency sounds playing on your system. Limit bouncing sound waves. As soon as sound leaves your speakers, it will reflect off the hard surfaces in your room, which can influence the stereo and frequency of your sound. Balance your speaker distance from hard surfaces, which can add low frequencies to your sound when too close. Be symmetrical in your set-up. This will allow you to hear the distribution of the sound between speakers most clearly. A DAW is a digital audio workstation, and unless you have a studio at your disposal, it's likely going to be how you mix your music. There are many different kinds of DAW, some free and others costing over $800. Which of these will work best for your situation is a matter of preference. You'll have to look into the features of each DAW, but some popular options are:  Ableton Live Cubase FL Studio 11 Pro Tools The mixer of your audio interface should be as orderly as possible. This will allow you to tweak and adjust your sound without any confusion or error. To save yourself time and improve your efficiency, you should label your tracks according to a system that makes sense to you. For example, you might:  Write out the full name like, "Snare Drum 7" Label according to your own abbreviations, like "SnD7." If you have multiple tracks that you are trying to mix during your session, it can be difficult telling at a glance which track is which. By color coding your tracks according to basic...

TL;DR in English: Optimize your room's acoustics. Find the right DAW for your situation. Label your tracks for recognition. Devise a color code to improve your mix efficiency. Save your ears whenever possible. Clear your mind of distractions.

What really matters to you in a relationship?  What are the beliefs you need to maintain in a relationship?  What are you passionate about that your partner needs to respect?  What activities actually make you feel good and you'd want to continue while in a relationship?  Try not to focus on the negatives (i.e. what makes you unhappy or mad).  Focus on the positives.  Focus on the things that truly satisfy you — make you feel good inside, make you happy, and don't give you any stress.  Seriously think about these things, then write them down.  You might need a decent period of time to think of everything. Read back through your list.  These are the things you want and need in any relationship.  These items should be non-negotiable. It can be rather easy to repeatedly have bad relationships because you don't make the time to figure out what went wrong in your previous relationships.  Before entering a new relationship, stop and think about all your past relationships.  How many have you had that ended up bad and unhealthy?  Why did they end up this way?  What was it about your partner that didn't work for you?  What things did work?  Think about the emotional needs you have for a relationship and whether past partners met those needs.  If they didn't, why?  What was missing?  What would you have wanted to see from your partner? Think about whether you had a partner who actually 'got' you.  Did your partner understand and appreciate your quirks?  Did your partner support the things you were passionate about?  What do you wish you partner had understood about you? Look for patterns in your past relationships.  Did your partners all have the same personality traits?  Did you advance the relationship too quickly?  These patterns are the things you need to avoid in future relationships, as they are not working for you. There is no reason to rush into a relationship.  When you first meet someone whom you think might be a good partner, see them occasionally — not often.  Take it slow.  If you have a history of bad...

TL;DR in English: Determine what truly satisfies you. Learn from your past. Start new relationships slowly. Remember that physical attraction doesn't equal love. Keep your independence. Obtain an objective opinion. Develop positive expectations. Learn the early signs of a bad relationship.

TL;DR in English:


Purify with salt. Clean crystals with sound. Use smoke. Get some holy water.

It is so easy in today's world to become focused on "me" that we often forget that one of the most rewarding and productive things we can do is to focus on the well-being of others.  When you are helpful to others, even in small, everyday ways, you will find that your overall sense of your own well being will greatly increase and your confidence in the tasks and goals you have before you will be much greater. Greater confidence in yourself and your own abilities results in much higher personal productivity, and, in turn, will help you to become a more serious person. Get involved in local volunteer opportunities. In 2013 alone, over 62 million Americans engaged in some form of volunteer work.   Do you have a soft spot for kids? For old folks? For animals? Maybe you'd like to help maintain trails at a local park, or feed the homeless in a soup kitchen. Volunteer opportunities abound everywhere, especially in urban centers. Even a couple hours a week, or even a month, can help give you a sense of focus and purpose in your life. Volunteering not only makes you feel good about yourself, it connects you with others, increases your social skills, combats depression, and helps keep you healthy. When you do to others as you would have done to yourself, you create a loop of goodwill. This isn't just for morality's sake; the more you show goodwill to others, the more likely they will be to contribute to your own advancement.

TL;DR in English: Be helpful to other human beings. Volunteer. Practice the golden rule.

These events are great for networking. As booths hand out cards to you, don't be afraid to hand one back, though you should try to stay in the same industry.  These shows are even better if you can get your own booth or table. If you do, be sure to have plenty of business cards in plain view on your table. That way, if people like what they see, they can take a card away with them. Don't just think big. Think about what makes sense for your business. For instance, if you own a dog grooming business, it makes sense to visit a dog park and make connections. However, outside of events where networking is expected, it's important to not be too pushy and to respect people's space when asked. While it's always important to respect someone's space, in a social gathering like a dog park, the person may not be expecting a business pitch and may get annoyed if you try to give them a card. If that happens, apologize and walk away. If you just hand someone your business card with no pretense, it's likely going into the trash. You have to actually talk to the person and make a connection.  For instance, if you go up and say, "Hi, here's my business card," that's not likely to work. That's the equivalent of walking up to someone and saying, "Hi, let's go on a date." Instead, introduce yourself, and try to make a connection with the person. You could say, "Hi, I'm Jess Smith. What brings you to this event today?" Any number of openers can get a conversation going. Another one could be, "Hi, I'm Jess Smith. I work for a metal pipe company. What about you?" Everyone likes to talk about themselves. The more you can get the other person talking, the more likely they'll feel like they've really made a connection with you.  You don't need to spend 30 minutes talking to one person, though that would certainly be making a connection. However, you do need to spend several minutes getting to know the person. Ask questions like, "What's your business?" "What's your job like?" or "What do you do for a living?" While you might be...

TL;DR in English: Go to trade shows, networking events, and conventions. Make a personal connection. Focus on them. Don't hand them out indiscriminately. Ask for their business card. Always follow up.

The vantage point of a tree stand allows the hunter to aim their shot without alerting the bear to their presence. Be sure to make your stand as comfortable as possible, since you may have to wait there for several hours. For example, place some boarding around the stand covered in camouflage in order to be able to move slightly in your stand and not risk being seen. This location allows penetration through the skin and into the vital organs, which will quickly kill bears. However, 1 shot may not be enough to kill the bear, so be ready to fire a quick follow-up shot if need be. Lay the bear on its back with its arms and legs outstretched. Then, using a small knife, cut the bear from the pads of its paws to just below its neck. Continue cutting from its neck along its abdomen to its tail, then make 2 more cuts along its rear legs. Cut around its feet and continue cutting the hide on the bear’s back. For best results, use a smaller knife (around 4 inches (10 cm) long) to give yourself the most control while you’re cutting. Cut as close to the bear’s skull as possible as you cut the bear’s hide away from the top of its body. This will ensure that the bear’s distinguishing facial features are able to be effectively preserved. Most bear hides will require about 20 pounds (9.1 kg) of salt in order to be sufficiently dehydrated. Apply the salt liberally to the inside of the hide, in the ears and nose, on the lips, and between the feet.  The general rule of thumb is to apply 1 pound (0.45 kg) of salt per 1 pound (0.45 kg) of hide. For the purposes of preserving a hide, any type of salt will work. However, most hunters choose to use non-iodized, fine grained salt. Pack the hide in a burlap or game bag in order to transport it out of the woods. Then, leave it hanging somewhere out of the sun and dry for about 5-7 days in order for it to fully dry out. After this much time, take your hide to a taxidermist in order to be preserved. Avoid packing the hide in a plastic bag; the plastic may rip the hair away from it.

TL;DR in English: Position yourself in a tree stand for a safe and effective hunting option. Place your shot immediately behind the front shoulder of the bear. Skin the bear hide to take as a trophy, if desired. Remove the features of the bear’s head and face. Salt the hide in order to dehydrate and preserve it. Pack the hide and hang it in a cool, dry place for about 5 days.

Purifying crystals helps to remove any negative energy that might have attached itself to your crystals. Some people consider salt to be a metaphysical purification tool. To use salt to purify your crystals, you can wash your crystals with salty water, place crystals within a circle of salt, or bury crystals in salt. All of these techniques can help to purify the energy of your crystals.  To use saltwater, dissolve about a teaspoon of salt in lukewarm water and place your crystal in the water. Allow the crystal to sit in the water for a few minutes and then remove it from the water, rinse it with non-salty water, and then dry it off with a towel. To use a salt circle, lay your crystal on a cloth, plate, or other non-permeable surface. Then take a canister of salt and pour enough out around your crystal to create a circle. Allow your crystal to sit within the circle for an hour or more. To bury your crystal in salt, place your crystal into a bowl and then pour enough salt over the crystal to cover the crystal completely. Allow the crystal to remain buried in the salt for an hour or more. Sounds, such as chanting, humming, singing bowls and bells have been thought to purify objects, people and places. By doing one of these things, such as placing a crystal inside a singing bowl when it is rung, it is thought you can clean the crystal. If you do not have a singing bowl, then you can hold your crystal in front of your mouth and hum or sing loudly. The sound of your voice should penetrate the crystal and help to purify it. In many disciplines, the smoke that comes from certain plants when they are burned is thought to have purifying powers. Sage, Santo Palo and Cedar are all considered to have these properties. By bathing the crystal with smoke from the burning of these plants, it is thought that bad energy will be removed.  Try burning some incense or a sage stick and holding your crystal above the smoke. Allow the smoke to surround your crystal for a few minutes to help purify it. Sometimes bird feathers are...
