Never fake a closeness with your in-laws that isn’t really there. It’s perfectly acceptable to be polite to your in-laws without making anything more of the relationship.  Don’t get in the habit of referring to your mother-in-law as “mom” or “mother.” She is your spouse’s mother, but not yours. Only engage in physical touch you’re comfortable with. There’s no need for a long, drawn-out hug with someone you feel uncomfortable around. Many people find themselves becoming quiet or shy around abusive mothers-in-law. However, this can fuel the abusive behavior. If your mother-in-law does or says something hurtful, stand up for yourself or your spouse.  If you have children, make sure your mother-in-law knows and follows your parenting rules. If she refuses, remind her that you are their mother. You can say something like, “I know you have had plenty of experience parenting. However, we do things differently in our house, and I need you to respect that if you’re going to spend time with my children.” If she says something degrading or hurtful to you, you can say, “I don’t appreciate being spoken to that way. Please stop.” This is something you should have already discussed with your spouse. Your spouse may opt to spend more time with your mother-in-law than you are willing to spend. Your mother-in-law may ask why you haven’t been joining, or may be happy to have some time alone with her child.  You can let your mother-in-law know in advance that you’ll be spending less time with her. She may ask why. It is up to you and your spouse if you want to be fully honest with her. It may be possible to cut down the time you spend with her without having to talk to her about it. If your mother-in-law has already expressed strong disapproval of you and your family, she’s unlikely to change her mind. Remember that you don’t need her approval. It can be empowering to say this out loud to your mother-in-law. For example, if she tells you that your home is too small and cluttered, you can simply say, “We’re very happy here,...

TL;DR in English: Be honest about the relationship. Assert yourself. Place limits on the time you will spend with her. Accept disapproval. Set boundaries appropriate to the situation.

Raw black beans are harvested from the ground. As a result, it’s not uncommon to find small pebbles mixed in with them. To make sure your bagged beans are safe to eat, spread them out on a baking sheet and sift through them by hand, picking out any small rocks you come across. You don’t want to sink your teeth into one by accident! Most rocks will be light gray in color, which helps them stand out easily from the dark beans. It’s a good idea to give the beans a quick rinse prior to soaking, especially if they’re visibly dirty. A preliminary rinse will sanitize the beans and start breaking down the waxy starches coating the outside of the beans that makes them take longer to cook.  Stir the beans up from the bottom by hand as you rinse to make sure the water gets distributed evenly throughout. A good long soak may make a separate rinse unnecessary if you're planning on cooking the beans immediately. The container you choose should be spacious enough to hold the beans you plan on soaking, along with the water that you’ll be adding later on. In most cases, a serving bowl, saucepan or stockpot will provide the volume you need.  Measure the beans out into cup-sized portions—this will make it easier to round off your other measurements. A standard serving of black beans is about ½ cup (75g). Unless you’re fixing mass quantities in bulk, plan on soaking all of the beans at once. Breaking them up into multiple batches can add hours to your prep time. Drizzle 1 tablespoon (15ml) of distilled white vinegar or lemon juice over every cup of dried beans. The mild acid will help soften the beans before they even hit the water, while also ensuring that the water heats evenly.  A little acidity will also prevent the beans from becoming mushy or completely disintegrating if they’re overcooked. Fresh squeezed lemon juice is preferable as it doesn’t contain any other additives, but bottled will also work just fine.

TL;DR in English: Check the black beans for rocks. Wash the black beans in a colander. Pour the black beans into a large bowl or pot. Add a small amount of acid.

Making the conversation brief will help to reduce tension.  Don't try to recap every detail that happened since your break-up.  Focus on small talk or other easy-going conversation topics.  Focus on asking how their day has been, or how they are doing generally.  If your ex asks the same, then focus on topics that are light and friendly. Consider topics such as any current hobbies or travels, a funny anecdote about something that happened recently, your studies, your work, or things you've been watching such as sports or TV shows. Avoid letting the conversation linger.  When it starts to feel uncomfortable, excuse yourself or say that you need to go.  Consider saying, "It was nice seeing you, but I need to head to my class," or "I'm on my way to another event.  Please excuse me and have a good evening!" When you meet someone who has hurt you, you may want to talk with them about that pain.  An unexpected encounter with your ex is not the time to rehash your relationship and its past problems.  Be aware that brief meetings with your ex shouldn't turn into venting sessions or a time to start arguments.  Avoid being angry or trying to stir drama. Be understanding that your ex may also have awkward feelings about an unexpected meeting. Ignoring and pretending that your ex doesn't exist may feel easier, but it can be immature or irresponsible. At a minimum, smile and nod to your ex.  If you feel that you can't talk with them, then this is basic courtesy. If you're running into your ex, and you're with your new partner or date, avoid trying to show how much you've "moved on" from the relationship by kissing or showing large displays of affection.  Act as you would normally when in public.  For example, let's say you're at a friend's party, and your ex shows up unexpectedly.  Avoid trying to act differently just because your ex is there.  Try to talk with your ex and show that you accept them there.  But if your ex is making you very uncomfortable, consider finding a different space at the party or leaving the...

TL;DR in English: Keep the conversation short and sweet. Be respectful. Avoid using this moment as a way to make your ex jealous. Know your limits.

Having routines in your life helps you cope with the trauma by giving you regular events to look forward to and by giving you stability. Continue any routines you had before the traumatic event and create new routines to help you cope.  Get together with friends and family on a regular basis. For example, have dinner with your family every weekend or go to the gym with a friend twice a week. Have specific days and times that you do things. For example, check your email in the morning, bathe the dog on Thursday evenings, or clean up on the weekends. Schedule time for journaling and other coping strategies like meditation, counseling sessions, or support groups. If you break a routine, don't beat up on yourself. Simply try to get back on schedule tomorrow. . One common symptom of trauma is insomnia and problems sleeping. Coupling insomnia with the stress of the traumatic event can be extremely harmful to you. Having a regular bedtime and waking time is one way to return to normal life and cope with the traumatic event.  Try stretching, taking a warm bath, or doing something relaxing before you lie down for bed. Put away electronic devices an hour before bed, as the blue light emitted from smartphones, tablets, laptops, TVs, and similar devices make it difficult for you to fall asleep. If you have problems sleeping that last more than a few days, consult a medical professional for help. Many people experience changes in their eating habits after a traumatic event. Some people eat to cope with the stress, while others lose their appetite and have trouble eating.  Make sure you are getting regular meals throughout the day. Try to eat healthy foods like fruits and vegetables that will provide your body with the nutrients it needs to function at its best.

TL;DR in English:

It is important to note that these alternative remedies are not backed by scientific evidence — evidence that they work is anecdotal, or based on personal experience and word of mouth. Without scientific studies to prove they are effective, there is no way to know if alternative treatments are helpful at all in treating pinworm. If you want to try an alternative method, talk to your doctor first. These alternative methods should still be undertaken in combination with medication from your doctor, and should not considered to be medical therapies by themselves. Garlic is thought to be a good home remedy to help get rid of pinworms. First, eat lots of fresh garlic. The garlic may help reduce and kill the pinworms when you have a bowel movement. You can also make a garlic paste to apply around the anal area. The garlic may kill the eggs and the oil will help soothe the itching.  To make the paste, crush two to three cloves of fresh garlic. Add a few teaspoons of castor oil or mineral oil. Make sure you add enough to get a paste-like consistency. You can also make a paste by adding garlic to petroleum jelly. Make sure to discuss home remedies with your doctor before using them. Turmeric has been shown in lab studies to kill parasites, though researchers are unsure if it kills parasites in humans; however, spicy foods, such as turmeric, are thought to be an effective cure against pinworms. Take 300 mg of turmeric in the form of a capsule three times a day.  You may also consider making a tea with turmeric. Steep one teaspoon of turmeric in one cup of hot water for five to 10 minutes. Drink two to four cups. Don't take turmeric if you use blood thinners because it increases the risk of bleeding. The wormwood herb has been traditionally used to help expel worms from the digestive tract. Add a three to four drops of wormwood tincture to a cup of warm water. Have your child drink one cup a day. Adults can drink two cups a day.  Talk to your doctor before using wormwood. Don't take wormwood if you take anti-seizure...

TL;DR in English: Understand the limitations of natural remedies. Use garlic. Try turmeric. Drink wormwood tea.

It’s not up to you whether your spouse is transgender or not. Your spouse has taken a big step in disclosing a big secret to you, and it’s highly unlikely they can or are willing to change their mind. Instead of arguing with them or telling your opinions, respect what they say and accept it as truth. Whether you agree with their actions or not does not mean your opinion will change anything. Listen intently to what they say and resist the urge to jump in or respond right away.  Your spouse wants to be heard and understood, not argued with. Do your best to listen and accept what they say. Ask for time to digest the information, if you need it. Also, if you are feeling anger, make sure to express that your anger is not directed toward them but rather your emotion is about the situation you now find yourself in. Say, “This is a lot to take in, but I respect what you’re saying, even though I’m struggling to understand.” Some people express being transgender as cross-dressing and others want reassignment. Ask your spouse how they want to express themselves. Having more information about their needs and desires can help you understand what they want and how they want to express themselves. Ask your spouse, “What do you want to do as a result of being transgender? How do you wish to express yourself? How will this affect me?” You might feel confused and have lots of questions. Ask your spouse about your questions or do some internet research. If you’re too shocked or surprised when your spouse initially comes out, spend a few days or weeks writing a list of questions you’d like answered. If you’re unfamiliar with terms such as transgender, spend some time educating yourself and better understanding what they mean.   For example, you may wonder, “Is my spouse gay?” Learn the difference between gender identity and sexual orientation by asking your spouse or learning more about these terms. Most people who are transgender do not identify as gay.  Joining an online community or doing an internet search can help to...

When you make the appointment, explain that you would like to schedule a consultation to discuss options for closing a gap or gaps between your teeth. These notes will help you to remember specifically what you want to change about your smile and they may help your dentist make the best recommendation for you. You may also want to write down some questions about your preferred treatment options so that you can remember to ask you dentist during your consultation. Try to be concise and precise about your wishes so your dentist can provide you the exact treatment plans for your needs. If your dentist suggests a treatment plan that does not meet your needs or expectations, speak up! Ask why your dentist has suggested this treatment option over something else. It is possible that your dentist may have a very good reason for suggesting a particular treatment, but you’ll never know unless you ask. If you don’t agree with your dentist’s reasons for recommending a specific plan of treatment, don’t feel obligated to accept this option. You can always have a consultation with a different dentist to see if the recommendations are the same. If you agree with your dentist’s recommendation, now is you time to find out all of the particulars of the procedure and what you will need to do in order to ensure the best outcome.

TL;DR in English: Schedule an appointment with your dentist. Bring your notes with you to the appointment. Be assertive. Ask about the procedure and aftercare.

You'll be using a series of stencils to apply layers of paint to your board. The unpainted areas left behind by your stencils will form the design of your board. A simple, stencil-free way of achieving the same effect involves covering areas of your board with tape in creative patterns. , if applicable. You won't need to do this if you are simply using tape to create designs in your board. More complicated designs and shapes with arcs, like circles, will likely need a stencil. You can make your stencils out of many different materials. Some common options include cardboard, mylar, or rigid card stock.

Turn off your faucets and other water appliances. Find your main water shut-off valve. Cut off water to your house. Find your house’s water meter. Remove the water meter cover. Check the water meter for activity.

Put on a very normal outfit, like jeans and T-shirt, but add something ridiculous. Like a big gorilla mask. Of course, you could also go with strange clothing all the way. You might want to invest in things like suspenders, top hats, parasols, glitter vests, canes, ribbons, army boots, hippie or (real) vintage things, neon things, glowsticks, or rainbow suspenders. The trick is to have basic staples: plain T-shirts in varying colors and a couple pairs of blue jeans, maybe in gray, paired with freaky accessories. Pick a certain state, food, person, or animal. Make them very public and insane. Maybe you could be obsessed with the Hindenberg disaster, labradoodles, or the actor Charles Nelson Riley. Learn as much as possible about unusual and specific historical trivia and bring it up more or less at random. Pick something you're genuinely interested to make it worth your while. Just because you're buying a new coat doesn't mean you can't go to the zoo on the way there. Plans should be broken if you think of a more exciting plan. Always let spontaneity trump whatever it is you thought was more important. Secret to random success? Listening closely to the conversation and responding with something that'll come across as off-the-wall at an appropriate moment. It's not appropriate to interject a "random" gag when your girlfriend is trying to tell you about how she feels, or when your parents are scolding you about not cleaning your room. Listen to what other people say to find a good in. Then jump. Good times for a "random" joke? When a conversation dies. You're in a group and everyone's being boring, talking about the same old, same old? Tell them all about Star Trek: The Next Generation, a show that ended like decades ago. Why be your regular old self? Only refer to yourself as "Lord Steven" or "Captain Theresa." Better yet, invent your own. If you use an adjective, make sure it doesn't usually apply to people in normal circumstances. If You use a noun, make it an uncommon one, or one in another language....

Put your most important ID into the little plastic ID window pocket. This will normally be your driver’s license, if you have one, or some other type of photo ID.  A single form of photo ID is usually sufficient for any situations that you might run into where you need to present it, so there’s no need to carry more. Leave other important forms of ID, such as a social security card, in a safe place at home. There’s no need to carry sensitive forms of ID around, and you definitely don’t want to lose it if your wallet gets misplaced or stolen. You will usually want your debit card so that you can withdraw cash when needed. Select 1-2 credit cards that you use regularly to carry in addition to your debit card.  Keep all these bank cards near each other in your wallet, in separate card slots, so that you can easily find them at a cash register or when paying a bill. Leaving some cards at home will also ensure that you have backups in case you lose your wallet. It’s always a good idea to carry some cash with you in case you run into a situation where you can’t pay with a card. Organize about $30-50 in bills by their denomination and stick them in the slot for cash in your wallet. If you typically take out cash from ATMs in large sums, then leave most of it at home and just take an amount with you that you might actually end up using while out and about. Look through the other piles of cards that were in your wallet and decide which ones you are likely to use. Group similar cards together in the same slots of your wallet. If there are cards that you want to keep, but don’t use much, just leave them in a drawer at home and grab them on the way out the door if you are headed somewhere that you want to use one.

TL;DR in English: Put only the ID that you actually need and use into your wallet. Choose 2-3 credit and debit cards to carry in your wallet. Organize a small sum of cash by value and put it in the bill holder. Carry only the membership and loyalty cards you use regularly.

Most birds will need about a week to get used to their new space. Keep their environment quiet during this time, and ensure that you and everyone else in your family give the birds the time and space they need during this adjustment period. Keep pets away from the cage or aviary to avoid traumatizing your new birds. It may be a good idea to keep young children away from your new pigeons during the first week or so. Children may not fully understand why they have be quiet or calm around the birds, and this may cause the birds to think they're predators. As your pigeons get used to you and their new home, it's important that they don't become scared of you. Keep your hands behind your back whenever you approach the cage, and avoid sudden movements. Speak, sing, or coo softly to the birds to comfort them and make them familiar with the sound of your voice. As your birds begin to become more comfortable with your presence, spend more time with them. If your birds are still hiding or cowering when you're near their enclosure, give them more time. If not, study or read next to their cage or aviary for a few hours each day. Reach through the bars or wire mesh of the birds' cage or aviary to provide treats. At first, simply place the treats on the ground. This will let the birds know that you're a source of food and care. Slowly, the birds should begin to take treats directly from your hands. Stay outside of their enclosure the first few times you do this. The security of the cage or aviary will let the bird know they're safe. Once they've eaten out of your hands a few times, either open the cage door or let yourself into the aviary to feed them more directly. Once your indoor birds are responding to your presence and eating out of your hand, they're probably ready to be allowed out of their cage. Indoor birds need to spend time outside of their enclosure daily to keep their minds and bodies healthy, so start this process as soon as you feel the birds are ready.  If you're worried about getting pigeon poop in your...

TL;DR in English: Stay patient with new birds as they adjust to your home. Keep your movements and voice calm around your pigeons. Spend time near your birds' cage or aviary to introduce yourself. Feed your birds treats while they're in their enclosures. Let indoor birds explore your home once they're comfortable. Avoid free-flying any domesticated pigeons. Let your birds come to you.

So you can check your water meter for signs of a leak, turn off every faucet in your house and make sure common water appliances like your washing machine and dishwasher are not on. If anything remains on, cutting off your water may damage them or your water meter may give you a false positive reading. In cold regions, look for the valve inside your house in places like the basement or garage. In warmer areas, the valve may be located on a pipe on the side of the house or in the ground near your water meter. If your water valve has only one visible valve wheel, turn it clockwise to shut off your water supply. If you water valve has two visible valve wheels, turn off the one closest to your house and leave the other wheel, connected to the street-side valve, alone.  Try turning on a faucet far away from the water valve to make sure the water is cut off. If you have older pipes, your valve may leak or creak when turned off. Look for a water meter inside your yard or by the sidewalk surrounding your house. Typically, it will be inside an iron box or covered by a metal plate. Modern water meter boxes are typically labeled as such for clarity. If you can’t find your water meter, call your local public facilities office for advice on where water meters in your area are typically located. Some water meter covers can be simply picked up by hand or pried off with a screwdriver, pair of pliers, or crowbar. Others may have a standard or pentagon nut holding them down, in which case you’ll need a standard or pentagon wrench to remove them.  If you haven’t examined your meter for a while, watch out for cobwebs and bugs. For safety, wear thick working gloves when prying off the cover. Though water meters are all built differently, they will each have a method of tracking water usage. This may be in the form of a sweep hand (a clock-like hand covering the meter), a leak indicator (a small triangle, sailing wheel, or other object), or an odometer (a row of numbers). With your appliances off, see if your pipes are leaking by...

The operative word is clean. The slightest bit of contamination can spoil the rum. Before you start, make sure you're dealing with the cleanest ingredients and a sanitary area. Clean and then submerge any utensils you will be using in boiling water. Turn the heat off the boiling water and soak your pot or barrel in the near-boiling water. Then dump the water. This will help kill off any potentially harmful germs. The sugar will dissolve easily, but the molasses will be tougher dissolve, as it is very sticky. Try not to boil the water. Continue to let it heat up until bubbles just start to form, and then turn the burner off. You may find it helpful to take out about 1 liter of the mash in a jug first; try dissolving the yeast in the smaller jug. Then, when the mixture begins to foam up, incorporate with the rest of the wort.

Toasted walnuts taste best when served warm, so you should not let them cool to room temperature. They will be hot after you finish toasting them, though, and handling them immediately can lead to burns. Wait until the nuts have cooled just enough to comfortably hold in your hand. " The shell should have begun peeling up slightly at the "x" mark as the walnuts toasted. Use your fingers to grip the corners and forcefully peel the softened shell off. The shell may still pose some problem, but it can usually be worked off with only your fingers. If the shell is still too hard to peel away, gently crack it using a nutcracker as though the nut were still raw. Apply pressure carefully, though, since toasted walnuts tend to be a little softer than raw walnuts and will break apart more easily. You can either use a clean dish towel or paper towel. Rub the towel over the nuts using small yet rapid strokes to remove the bitter skins. You can also store the toasted nuts in the refrigerator or freezer if necessary, but most people prefer the taste of warm toasted walnuts over cold walnuts.

Since your living room is big, it probably can’t be lit properly with just one central light source. During the day, take advantage of windows and keep the curtains or blinds open. Use 2-3 unique lamps near the corners of the room to enhance the central light source and make the evenings feel cozy for guests.  Consider keeping 2 identical table lamps on side tables located on either side of your biggest couch. Then, put a floor lamp that is made of the same materials, or contains the same colors, in a corner on the other side of the room. If you have a fireplace but don’t use it, fill it with candles and light them for extra brightness and ambience. Cool colors, such as blues and greens, tend to visually expand space. Since you want to do the opposite, go with a warmer color palette that includes reds, oranges, and/or yellows. Get curtains, lamps, wall art, and throw pillows and blankets in these colors. For example, you could get a set of solid mahogany curtains and 2-3 apricot throw pillows that have mahogany appliques or tassels on them. Texture is important because it adds dimension to a space, which is especially important when you have a lot to work with. Specifically, rough textures help a room feel more intimate and grounded, so try to incorporate several rough-textured pieces into your living room.  Toss a few wool throw pillows onto your couch and/or keep a tree branch candle holder centered on your coffee table to add in some rough texture. To create a focal point, choose a textured couch or a large chair paired with a jute ottoman. A large patterned rug can split up space and add personality to your room. Place it near your main sitting space underneath the coffee table and between or underneath your couches. Once again, choose patterns, textures, and colors that fit with your personal decor style, and make sure the size of the rug is proportionate to the size of the space. Consider getting a unique Persian or oriental rug, such as a Kazak rug or an Aubusson rug. These are typically very colorful...

TL;DR in English: Emphasize lighting. Use a warm color palette. Add in rough textures to warm up your large space. Lay a large patterned rug on your living room floor.

Aim to buy a purebred puppy from a responsible local Cocker Spaniel breeder. It is a good idea to visit a few local breeders before choosing one from which to buy a puppy. Check local classified listings, talk to area vets, attend dog shows, visit dog parks, and ask other local Cocker Spaniel owners for referrals to reputable breeders. It's best to shop locally so you can meet the puppy first and establish a relationship with a knowledgeable breeder. Browse the database of Cocker Spaniel breeders at the American Spaniel Club (ASC) website to look for ASC-registered breeders in your state: http://www.asc-cockerspaniel.org/index.php/breeders.html Ask how many years of experience the breeder has; ideally, they should have at least a few years of experience. Also, ask if they only breed Cocker Spaniel puppies or other breeds as well. If they specialize in Cocker Spaniels, they are more likely to be knowledgeable about them. Be polite and direct with questions like:  "Have you been a breeder for many years?" "Have you only bred Cocker Spaniels?" Making sure that your new puppy is healthy is of the utmost concern, and it should be a breeder's primary concern as well. Be sure to ask your breeder if the puppies’ mother is current on her vaccines, as puppies receive their early immunity to disease directly from their mother, and if either parent had any genetic defects. You should also inquire if the puppy will be seen by a vet before it is sold.  Conditions like progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), cataracts, glaucoma, cardiomyopathy, and hip dysplasia are common in Cocker Spaniels, so ask if either parent of the litter has been afflicted with any of them.  Both the mother and the father should be certified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) as well. Almost all pet stores puppies come from puppy mills, which are essentially puppy factories with horrible, unhealthy conditions. Given the popularity of the Cocker Spaniel breed, many Cocker Spaniel puppies will be sold in pet stores. Buying your new puppy from...

TL;DR in English: Locate local breeders. Ask about the breeder’s experience. Ask about health considerations. Do not buy from a pet store. Insist on visiting the premises. Read the breeder’s behaviour.

Cut a 1⁄2–1 in (1.3–2.5 cm) section from a wire hanger if you want a dart-like projectile. Otherwise, you can use a BB or ball bearing as your projectile. Feed the projectile into the barrel of your coil gun. You can use any projectile as long as it’s magnetic. Place the battery back in its terminal so a current can run through your circuit. Locate the triangular metal piece on the back of the circuit and press down on it with an insulated screwdriver. Hold the screwdriver there for 5 seconds so the capacitor can fully charge. Don’t touch the capacitor after it’s charged or else you will get shocked. Once the capacitor has been charged, flip the switch into the on position to shoot your gun. Turning on the switch completes the circuit and charges the coils around the barrel, propelling the projectile forward. Once you shoot the gun, leave the switch on for 1 minute so any leftover voltage in the capacitor can discharge safely. Make sure your gun isn’t aimed at any living thing since it will shoot quickly.

TL;DR in English: Load a metal BB or piece of wire hanger into the pen barrel. Put the battery back in the camera and charge the capacitor for 5 seconds. Turn on the switch to shoot the coil gun.

Stand with your legs in line with your shoulders. Keep your back straight and bend your knee to lift your shin and foot behind you. Reach back and hold the toe of the leg you’re lifting to extend the stretch further. Hold the stretch for 5 to 10 seconds, depending on your ability.  Use your hand on the same side as the leg you’re lifting: if you’re lifting your left leg, use your left hand. Brace yourself by holding your opposite hand against a wall if you need help balancing. Repeat on the other side, and proceed to 5 to 10 repetitions for each leg. Kneel down and sit on your heels. Reach behind you and place your hands on the ground with your arms fully extended. Inhale, then place your weight on your hands and exhale as you tighten your buttocks and lift your pelvis forward off of your heels.  Hold the pose for 3 to 5 seconds, depending on your ability, then return to the seated position. Proceed with at least 10 repetitions. The farther back you reach, the more intense your stretch. Start with your hands closer to your feet if you're a beginner. Start on one knee with your other leg forward, so that knee is bent above the heel at a 90 degree angle. Bring both hands to your forward thigh, and lean your torso backward while extending that knee forward. Use these opposite motions to stretch out your quad.  Hold for thirty seconds. Proceed with 5 to 10 repetitions on each leg. Work the stretch even more by sliding the foot that's flat on the ground slightly outward and bringing both hands to the floor. Your arms and hands should be on the inner side of your leg and your knee should be in line with your shoulder. Bend your elbows, bringing them closer to your chest as you lower your torso closer to the floor.

Water may help minimize inflammation by flushing your system. While sciatica is not always directly associated with inflammation, pain is always associated with inflammation. In addition, the tissues of the spine contain water and staying hydrated can help strengthen those structures. Both hot and cold therapy are very useful approaches in treating sciatica. Most natural practitioners will recommend first applying ice followed by heat for three cycles. This should be repeated at least four times a day. Apply ice for about 10 minutes followed by heat for five minutes. This is one cycle. Chiropractors are specially trained, especially in spinal disorders. They are trained to manipulate and move the bones of the spine back into alignment and reduce the pressure on the sciatic nerve. Overall, chiropractic care has been shown to significantly improve symptoms of sciatica.  Chiropractors are also trained to treat all the major causes of sciatic pain and, if necessary, can refer patients to other specialists such as surgeons. Chiropractors also educate their patients regarding specific exercises designed to improve the spine and the bones, joints and muscles that may be impacted in sciatic pain. Traction, or spinal decompression therapy involves stretching out the spine using a traction table or other device is often used to reposition a bulging disc and can be very helpful in treating sciatica. Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is based on the concept that meridians — energy channels — run throughout the body. The placement of needles at specific points along these meridians can relieve pain and treat a wide variety of conditions.  The placement of the needles will depend on your specific needs and may be combined with Chinese medical massage (Tui na). Acupuncture may also be combined with the use of Chinese herbs combinations to promote muscle relaxation and release of tension. This can provide direct pain relief. Therapeutic massage can improve circulation, relax the muscles, and lead to the...

Not all devices are made equally in terms of print quality, and a printer's performance is most often reflected in its price. Review the device specifications prior to purchasing an inkjet printer.  Choose a printer model that provides 48-bit color support and an optical scan resolution of at least 2,400 dots-per-inch (dpi) for the best results. Read and compare the product reviews for several different devices to help determine which inkjet printer will produce the best quality images and photos. Photo printers are designed specifically for printing photographs, and usually produce the highest quality results. A dedicated photo printer typically will produce better quality images than a multipurpose printer.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a printer capable of printing high resolution photos and graphics. Consider purchasing a photo printer.

To build trust, it is important to show that you are kind, respectful, and accepting of the other people. Be understanding and show them compassion when they need it. Always respect their thoughts and beliefs, even when they are different from yours.  If you disagree on something, be respectful about it. For instance, don’t say, “I don’t believe in your religion at all. It sounds really weird.” Instead, say something like, “My beliefs are pretty different, but that’s ok! I respect all religions.” Also, be accepting of your friend. Don’t try to get your friend to change for you. Trust is built over time, so be ready and willing to invest time in someone if you want to gain their trust. Each time you hang out, it’s an opportunity to have positive interactions and show your trustworthiness. Avoid only being around them when things are going well. Be there for them during the ups and the downs.  Your willingness to be around them when they’re going through a hard time shows them that they matter to you. You aren’t hanging around just to have fun and enjoy the good times – you want to have a real friendship. Meaningless flattery and only telling someone what they want to hear isn’t the same thing as kindness. You don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but you also don’t want to lie to them. Avoid being vague with them. Be specific and really mean the things you say. For example, if your friend asks you how they look in an outfit and it doesn’t look flattering, don’t automatically say, “It looks great!” when you know it doesn't.  However, you also don’t want to say, “Honestly, you look a bit overweight in that.” Instead, you could say something like, “That color looks awesome on you! I like the style of the outfit, but I’m not sure about the neckline. Let’s look for something else in that color.” When your friend texts or calls you, try to reply or call them back as soon as you can. If they send you a text and you don’t respond for days, it creates the illusion that you either don’t care enough to reply, or you’re...

TL;DR in English: Show kindness, respect, and acceptance. Spend time with them. Be sincere. Be accessible. Listen

To add an elegant or rustic touch to your cake, purchase pesticide-free flowers and gently insert the stems into the cake. To keep the cake fresher for longer, wrap the stems with an edible sealer before sticking them in the cake. Types of edible flowers include:  Chamomile Marigolds Carnations Cornflowers Daisies Fuchsia Hibiscus Pansies Roses Lavender If you want to cover the frosting or add a burst of color and texture, scatter sprinkles, chopped nuts, caramels, meringues, or candy over the top or sides of the cake. To add them to the sides of the cake, use your palms to gently press them into the frosting so they stick. Toffee or spun sugar makes an impressive decoration that has a slight crunch. If you're decorating a wedding cake, the couple might request brides, grooms, bells, or hearts on top. Look for sturdy toppers or figurines that won't sink down too far into the cake. Keep in mind that toppers and figurines aren't just for weddings. For example, top birthday cakes with clean:  Toy animals Action figures Small plastic dolls Toy cars Try to use whatever fruit is in season that works with the flavor of the cake. For example, if you're decorating a summery lemon cake, top it with fresh berries such as blueberries, blackberries or strawberries. If you're decorating an autumn gingerbread cake, place slices of dried apples or pears around the edge. To make the fruit look sparkly, consider dipping it in a sugar glaze and letting it harden. Or use crystallized fruits or citrus peel for a little extra shine. For a simple decoration that looks great with fresh fruit, spoon whipped cream on top of the cake just before serving. If you'd like to be able to pipe the whipped cream, stabilize it with gelatin, marshmallow fluff, or pudding mix first. To flavor the whipped cream, beat in a few drops of vanilla, almond, lemon, or coffee extract.

TL;DR in English:


Pour 1 teaspoon of lemon juice into a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of plain yogurt. Consider adding 1 teaspoon of honey. Stir everything together with a fork or spoon. Gently massage the cleanser onto your face.

Actually getting students to apply for the scholarship, and making the award, entails a lot of steps and requires planning. You will need to consider:  Where and when will applications be made available? Where should the applications be sent? When will applications be due? What will the components of an application be? Who will select the recipient(s), and how? How and when will the recipient(s) be notified? How and when will the scholarship funds be distributed? To ensure a successful scholarship program, you will need to notify student applicants of the opportunity. You can ask high schools and/or colleges to advertise the scholarship (via email, flyers, financial aid workshops, etc.) by contacting their office of financial aid or scholarship coordinator. You may also advertise the scholarship opportunity via community groups, student workplaces and activity centers, etc. A scholarship application can be simple: for example, a form that asks for an applicant’s name, contact details, and grade point average. Usually, however, a scholarship application has many components. However you design your application, you want to make sure that it will solicit the information you need to select the recipient(s) based on your criteria.

Send out an email from your new email address informing your important contacts of your new address. You can keep the message brief, such as "Hi everyone, this is my new email address. Please add it to your contacts!" Sending it from your new address makes it easy for recipients to update their address books. You may want to send different messages to different groups of people. Many email services allow you to group contacts. Create a few different groups, such as "Work," "Family," and "Friends," and then send the messages to the groups instead of individual contacts. Chances are you've used your email address to set up a variety of accounts online over the years. In order to ensure that you'll still have access to these accounts once you transition email addresses, you'll need to update your account information for each one. If you use a password manager like LastPass or your web browser's password manager, you can use the list of stored passwords to determine which accounts you need to update.  Start with the most important accounts first, including your online banking, utilities, social media, and online store accounts. Then make sure all of your other accounts are changed as well, including forum accounts and other less-important accounts.

Lemon juice is naturally antibacterial, and it can help reduce acne. It would be best if you use fresh lemon juice for this, but bottled may also work. If you are using fresh lemon juice, be sure to strain out the seeds and pulp first. Yogurt is a great, natural moisturizer. It will prevent the lemon juice from drying out your skin. The lactic acid in it is also naturally exfoliating, so it will help make your skin brighter and softer. To get the most benefits from this cleanser, use full-fat yogurt instead of low-fat or non-fat. You cannot go wrong with adding honey. It is both antibacterial and moisturizing, making it ideal for those with acne or dry skin. If you not have any honey on hand, however, you can leave it out of the cleanser. Keep stirring until the color and texture are consistent. You don't want any streaks or "puddles" of lemon juice. Splash your face with warm water first, then gently massage the cleanser in, making sure to avoid the area around your eyes. Wait 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse the cleanser off with warm water. Follow up with a slash of cool water, then pat your face dry.  To make this cleanser even more effective, place a warm, damp towel over your face for 1 to 2 minutes first, then apply the cleanser. Apply your usual moisturizer afterwards. This will keep the lemon from being too drying.

If you don't naturally have back dimples at all, the only way to get them is with cosmetic surgery. This is accomplished by removing fat from the areas where you would like the dimples to appear. Traditionally, this is done with liposuction, in which a needle is inserted under the skin and a little bit of fat is suctioned out.  The liposuction procedure used specifically to create back dimples may go by a variety names, including V-spot treatment, Dimples En V, or Barbie Back surgery. This type of liposuction is usually performed under local anesthesia. Possible risks of liposuction include numbness around the liposuction site, infection of the skin, bleeding, or fat embolism (a blood vessel blockage caused by a loose piece of fat). Deoxycholic acid (Kybella) can be injected under the skin to dissolve fat without damaging the surrounding tissues. Targeted injections can be used to simulate back dimples. Deoxycholic injections require less downtime and are less expensive than liposuction, but you may need several treatments to get the results you want.  Common side effects of Kybella injections include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and hardening of the tissue around the injection. Kybella is only FDA approved for treatment of fat below the chin. However, cosmetic practitioners may still legally use it for off-label uses, such as creating back dimples. Cosmetic surgery to create back dimples can be extremely expensive. If you go the liposuction route, you could be looking at around $6000 USD. While a single treatment with Kybella costs less than liposuction, you may need multiple treatments. Because of this, Kybella can add up to about the same or even more than what you would pay for liposuction. Most insurance plans will not cover the costs of these types of procedures, so you will almost certainly have to pay the whole cost out of pocket.

TL;DR in English: Get targeted liposuction to create back dimples. Use deoxycholic acid injections as an alternative to liposuction. Be prepared for the cost.

The objective of Rummy 500 is to lay down sets of 3 of more cards. These can be matched sets of 3-4 cards (such as Queens, 5s, 2s, etc.), and/or sequences of 3 or more cards in the same suit (such as the 4, 5, and 6 of spades). The round is finished when one player uses all of their cards or the stock pile runs out. All points are then tallied.  These groups of 3 or more cards are called “melds.” Additionally, players can lay down 1-2 cards that match with existing melds on the table. (For example, if one player has a meld of 3 Aces, another player can lay down the fourth Ace.) Jokers are used as wildcards, and can represent any card a player wants. Whenever cards are laid down in these patterns, they accrue points. To win Rummy 500, one player must reach 500 points, over multiple rounds of play. Card values are as follows:  All face cards are worth 10 points. Aces count as 15 points when used “high.” Jokers (used as wildcards) are worth 15 points. All other cards (Ace low – 9) are worth their value (e.g., the 6 of hearts is worth 6 points.) You may choose to have all cards A-9 worth 5 points, to simplify the scoring system. When one player uses all of their cards, the round ends and points are tallied up. Players who still have cards in their hands tally the value of those cards, and then subtract that amount from their score for that round. Alternatively, if the stock pile runs out of cards, the round ends, but players do not subtract the value of their hands.  For example, if the value of a players hand equals 70 points, and the value of what they have laid down equals 100 points, they will earn 30 points for that round. If a player loses more points from their hand than they have earned in the round, the negative value will be subtracted from their overall score. There are some additional, optional rules that you may like to use. Be sure to discuss these rules and accept or reject them before you begin game play.  30 points rule: This rule states that players must earn at least 30 points in one round...

Bamboo skewers are the best option for the frame due to their size and weight, but straws or other sticks work as well .  The frame is key in holding the plastic open to keep your kite in the air. Measure the length and width of your diamond to find out the sizes of the frame pieces you'll need. To make sure the cross is even: mark the shorter of the two frame pieces at its center (½ of its length) and the other, longer frame piece at 1/4th of its length.  Make a cross or 't' with the sticks so that the two marks are on top of each other. Don't forget to double check that your frame and plastic match up. Secure the cross by winding fishing line or string around the joint of the frame and tying it off. Wiggle the frame to test the durability. If it's shaky, or you're not proud of your knot-tying skills, you can use glue at the joint and then wrap and tie string around it after the glue has dried.

Depending on what state you plan on operating in, you may need a special license from the Department of Transportation. Each state has its own set of requirements, so contact your state's DOT to learn more.  If you plan on doing interstate moves, you will need to register with the U.S. Department of Transportation.  Some states require a certain amount of experience in the moving industry and/or a specified amount of startup capital, so be sure to check your state's requirements. New York, for example, requires that the owner or a key employee have at least two years of relevant experience, which must be supported with tax documents. New York also requires you to provide proof that you have the necessary equipment to run your business and enough money to cover your start-up costs. . In order to legally operate a business, you must register the business with your state. Each state in the United States has a slightly different process for registering a business. You can find complete instruction on your state's Secretary of State's website.  You can choose from several different business structure options, each of which has its own benefits and drawbacks. Sole proprietorships and partnerships offer tax benefits, but the owners maintain full liability for the company. Corporations offer protection against liability, but owners often end up paying higher taxes. Limited Liability Corporations (LLCs) offer small business owners tax benefits and protection against liability. There are different legal requirements and fees for establishing each type of business.  You will need to choose a name when you incorporate your business. The name has to be distinguishable from all other businesses registered in your state, so check with your state's filing agency to make sure your desired name is available before you begin the application process.

The board should be a smooth wooden square of 72-74 centimeters.  Each corner will have a 51 millimeter circular hole with a net under it, similar to a miniature pool table.  The board has two concentric circles in the center, one the size of a playing piece and another larger circle.  Two lines running at a diagonal from the corners create the foul lines.  Lines running parallel to the sides create small rectangles known as the “Baseline.”  Some players choose to lubricate the board with boric acid, potato starch, or chalk dust to allow the pieces to move more freely over the wood. This is representative of a traditional Carrom board.  Other boards come in variations of sizes large enough to to push pieces as you would in shuffle board.  Some boards can also be shaped in hexagons to allow for more players. The game involves nine black or dark playing pieces, nine white or  light-colored playing pieces, a red queen and a striker.  Advanced players often own a personal striker.  These can be up to four times heavier than a piece and are commonly made of bone or ivory.  Each player can bring their own striker, or one striker can be shared among all the players. The queen is the red playing piece.  Begin by placing the queen in the small circle in the center of the board.  The remaining dark and light pieces will be arranged around the queen within the larger circle. Place the first light piece along the diagonal from the queen, in the direction of the pocket where you would like to strike the piece.  Alternate dark, then light pieces in a circle, clockwise, using the queen as the center point. Place another light piece along the same diagonal as the original one, and alternate dark and light pieces clockwise around the first circle of pieces, until you have completed an outer circle of pieces. One player will hold a game piece in one hand.  The other player must guess which hand conceals the game piece.  If the player guesses correctly, they can choose whether to strike first, or allow the other player the...

Dark clothing should be stored in a dark, cool place in your home. Avoid areas prone to humidity, like bathrooms or basements. If you use hangers, opt for hangers with plush arms. These are less likely to stretch out your clothes. Only wear dark clothing for short periods to prevent the need to wash it. For example, wear a black dress or suit out for an evening and take it off immediately when you get home. Wear black pants only indoors. You can get away with wearing an item of dark clothing three or four times before washing it. Chemicals from things like makeup, hairspray, and hair gel can damage dark clothes. If you're wearing something dark for a night out, do your hair and makeup before getting dressed.

TL;DR in English: Store your clothing properly. Wash dark clothing less. Avoid doing your hair and makeup while wearing dark clothes.

Before computers, cell phones, and TVs became common, people had to find fun things to do in their free time. Your grandma probably learned many seasonal crafts, like apple picking, making Christmas tree ornaments, making leaf rubbings, making daisy chains, and more. Try these with your grandma.  You might start a conversation about seasonal crafts with your grandma by saying something like, "Before cell phones and TV, what did you do to pass time in the spring? Can you teach me springtime crafts?" Seasonal crafts are especially popular around major holidays, like Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Independence Day, and so on. Try making holiday oriented crafts with grandma. Baking is an activity many grandmothers enjoy, and yours might too. As an added bonus, when you finish baking, you can look forward to a delicious treat. Ask your grandma if you can bake your and her favorite recipes together.  While baking, you'll have plenty of time to talk, but you can also groove to music at low volume. You could even alternate between your favorite albums and grandma's. This is also a good opportunity to help grandma out. Often, you'll need special ingredients for certain dishes. While at the store, ask grandma if there are any heavy groceries she needs help with. Your grandma has had a long time to perfect her recipes and become a cooking pro. By learning popular family recipes, you'll be preserving your family traditions while having fun in the kitchen.  Small adjustments to recipes are often what makes them special. Ask your grandma what she does differently or adds to family recipes to make them taste so good. You never know when a recipe and cooking lessons from grandma might come in handy. Your friends or significant other might be impressed by your skill in the kitchen. If your grandma is a fan of cooking shows, you and grandma might have fun pretending that you are putting on your own cooking show as you make family recipes. Digging into the soil and working with plants has a relaxing and uplifting effect....

TL;DR in English: Make seasonal crafts. Learn to bake. Master popular family recipes. Help grandma in the garden.

Going into a date feeling negative or too stressed won’t make for a good date. To help combat this negativity, try to get yourself into a positive mood before going on the date. Do something before your date that makes you happy and boosts your mood.  For example, you can put on your favorite music that makes you feel attractive or happy, dance around your house, or put on your favorite outfit. Focus on your positive qualities. Look in the mirror and give yourself a few compliments. List a few positive qualities about yourself. Everyone gets nervous on a first date. It’s completely normal. That means you shouldn’t obsess about your anxiety. You’re not going to ruin the date, and you can’t know if the date is going to be a disaster or not. Think about how often you feel anxiety and everything turns out perfectly fine. Instead of the anxiety, think about how it’s exciting to be going out on a date and meeting someone new, even if it doesn’t turn into a love connection. . Going on a date is a mutual decision, which means the other person wants to go on a date with you. This should give you a bit of confidence to help combat your nerves. Try to find ways to boost your confidence as you prepare for your date so you can be your best self.  You can work on looking confident. Keep your head held high, have good posture, make eye contact, and smile. By acting confident, you'll actually feel more confident. Focus on your good qualities. It may be a physical attribute or a character trait. Remember, the person wanted to go out with you for a reason, so don't doubt that you deserve to enjoy your date. If every date went perfectly, people wouldn’t need to date multiple people or feel anxiety. The reality is that some first dates are awkward, bad, or boring. That’s normal. Don’t let everything ride on this one date, and it may help lessen your anxiety. Just because your first date isn’t perfect doesn’t mean there isn’t a chance for a second date. Sometimes, it takes a few dates to start connecting well. Don’t get upset if...

TL;DR in English:


Take all of your belongings out of their current locations. Organize your belongings. Try to get rid of as many items as possible. Put all the boxes except the "Keep" boxes in the right place.

Before you get started, make sure the wall you're finishing has already been taped and sanded, and any seams have been touched up with a base coat. That way, all you'll have to worry about is spreading the plaster, which will require your full attention.  Plaster is best applied to wood or metal lath, or bare walls stripped of paint and wallpaper. If the wall has semi-gloss or gloss paint on it, you should prime it before adding plaster.  Use plastic sheeting and painter's tape to cover areas you don't want plastered. Working with plaster can get pretty messy. To safeguard your surroundings and avoid an extensive cleanup process later on, it's a good idea to lay down a drop cloth or tarp. Make sure you have all the tools and equipment you need on hand to avoid wasting valuable time searching later on.  Consider putting on a change of old clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. It can also help to wear a respirator and eye protection, if you're sensitive to dust. It's best to mix plaster outdoors to minimize cleaning up the splatter from the mixing paddle. The exact size of the bucket you'll need will depend on the amount of plaster you're preparing. In most cases, however, a 5 or 7 gallon (18.9 or 26.5 L) bucket will be ideal. If you're using a smaller bucket, you may have to work in batches.  Keep in mind that plaster expands, so it's better to have a couple more gallons (around 7 L) worth of room than you need just to be on the safe side.  Hose out the bucket to flush away sediment and other residue if you've previously used it for other projects. Add 1–2 gallons (3.8–7.6 L) (3.8-7.6L) of room-temperature water. It's essential that you add the plaster to the water, not the other way around. This will help prevent troublesome lumps and give you more control over how thick the mixture turns out. If the water is too cold, it can make the plaster harder to mix. If it's too warm, it may cause it to set prematurely. Scoop out a small amount of plaster from the bag using a plastic cup and dump it in the bucket....

TL;DR in English: Prepare the wall for plastering. Protect your work area. Set a large bucket outdoors to do your mixing in. Fill the bucket with clean water. Add plaster to the water gradually.

Some people who have a hard time digesting lactose (found in dairy products) find that combining milk with food makes it easier to digest. These over-the-counter pills can be taken right before meals to help your body digest milk and dairy products. Some dairies and milk producers add lactase directly to milk, so you can get the taste and nutritional value of milk without the risk of digestive problems. Unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk and rice milk are all great alternatives. If drinking milk is not an option, opt for other milk products, like yogurt or cheese. Even though these foods are still made with milk, they may be easier to digest.

TL;DR in English: Drink a glass of milk with food. Take lactase enzyme tablets. Buy lactose-free milk. Try other dairy products.

Try to remember if any friends or family were scheduled to stop by. Check your calendar to see if you made an appointment for someone to come work on your plumbing, electric, or some other maintenance issue. You might be forgetting about plans you made with someone. Try to get a glimpse of whoever's knocking. If you don't recognize the person on the other side of the door, don't open it yet. Go up to a window near the door and see if you can make out whoever's knocking. Don't open the door if you're not confident you know the person. If you can't see the person knocking through a window, try to get a glimpse of their car. You might recognize it as a friend's or family member's vehicle, or it could have the name of a utility company or other business on it. If you don't recognize the person knocking on your door, or you don't have a peephole and you can't see them through a window, ask who's knocking. Stand close to the door so you can hear their response clearly. If you don't recognize their voice or you're still not sure who they are after they tell you, don't open the door.  For example, you can go up to the door and ask: “Who is it?” or “Can I help you?” If you have an intercom system hooked up to your front door, use it to talk to the person knocking so you can hear them more clearly. Don't answer the door unless you're confident the person on the other side is who they say they are. If you're not sure, ignore the knocking until the person leaves. Don't worry about accidentally ignoring a friend or neighbor -- if it's someone you know that needs to get in touch with you, they'll call you on the phone. if they won't stop knocking. If the knocking persists or you feel like you're in danger, call the police. Don't answer the door until the police arrive. Let the person on the other side of the door know that you've contacted the police and they're on their way.

TL;DR in English: Ask yourself who could be knocking on your door. Look through the peephole. Look through a window if you don't have a peephole. Ask who's there. Ignore them if you're unsure. Call the police

This may seem painful and like you're creating a bigger mess, but if you really want to organize your room, you have to start from scratch. Though you may be overwhelmed by the giant pile of stuff you've created on your floor, desk, or bed, rest assured that you'll find the right place for everything soon enough.  Remove everything out of your closet. Your clothes, shoes, and anything you keep in your closet can go in a pile on the floor in front of the closet. Remove everything from your desk. You can place the papers and anything else you find on the desk's surface. Remove everything from your dresser. If you're creating too much of a mess, remove one drawer at a time. Take any other items that are laying around and place them on your bed and on the floor. If taking everything out of its place at once is overwhelming and is taking up too much space, you can tackle your room by taking apart one area at a time. Before you begin to figure out where everything should go, you should get a number of boxes and label them for different purposes. Crates or plastic bins will work just as well, but boxes are best because you can just recycle them when you're done organizing and won't have to deal with more clutter. Here's how you should label the boxes:   Keep. The items that you keep will be items that you use on a regular basis. If you've used the item in the last two or three months, you should keep it.  Store. These are things that you can't bear to throw away, such as something with sentimental value, but which you rarely use. You can also store away a large portion of your clothes that you won't wear until the next season or two. If it's the middle of the summer, you can store your winter sweaters, and if it's the dead of winter, you can store your summer dresses.  Give or Sell. These are items that may benefit someone or could be sold, but which you don't need any more. You may have a nice sweater that you don't fit into anymore that you can donate, or an old textbook that you can sell.  Throw Out. These are...

Your best friend's sexuality is her own business. If she might have a crush on you, however, you can help defuse this and save the friendship. If that's your goal, reframe your thinking. You don't need your friend to confess; you just need to return to an uncomplicated friendship. Never tell someone else you think your friend is a lesbian. No matter how progressive your school or town is, someone could bully or harass your friend because of that rumor (even if it is not true). You do not have to be 100% certain before you do something. You will probably continue to suspect something or second-guess your friend until you clear the air. However, if you are hesitating or doubting yourself, you can check for the following signs of a possible attraction:  Physical touch is common in female friendships, but only to a point. If your friend holds your hand on the street, gives you massages, or hugs you for an unusually long time, she might have a crush on you. (The boundaries are different in each culture, so these examples don't apply everywhere.) She contacts you constantly, and gets upset if you take too long to respond. She gets upset if you spend time with other friends instead of her. There are ways to defuse the situation without prying into your friend's personal life. During a private conversation, make it clear that you are not interested without putting your friend on the spot. Here are a few hints you could drop (but only use them if they're true):  "I really want to keep you as a best friend. Can we stay that way?" "I want to find a guy to date." "I would like us to spend more time with the rest of our friends, instead of one-on-one. Are you all right with that?" If you have cuddled, kissed, or done anything else with your best friend that could lead her on, stop and think about why you did it. If you are definitely not interested in dating your friend, this behavior can lead to heartache. Set new boundaries for your relationship, even if she tries to argue with you. Say "I think we should stop...

TL;DR in English: Respect your friend's right to privacy. Look for signs. Let her down gently. Clear up mixed signals. Address her directly Spend some time apart. Use compassion.

A great source of inspiration could be their general interests. Use this information to decide what gift to give. By using this method, you can be confident they will like their gift.   Look in their locker for ideas—what posters or photos do they display? Those could be clues as to what else they may like. Are they in clubs? Do they always talk about certain topics? Use all of this information to decide what gift to give. One way to get a gift they are sure to love is to solve a problem for them. This could be a gift that they’ve been meaning to purchase for themselves but always forget, or it could just solve one of life’s little annoyances or make a task easier for them.   Are they always complaining about needing something for their locker? That is something they will appreciate, and it shows you listen. Have you noticed their wallet is falling apart, or they are always losing their pens? A new wallet or a cool set of pens with something to hold them in would solve those problems! Leading up to the occasion, listen intently in conversations and ask follow up questions that would give you additional gift ideas to consider. When done naturally, they won’t even notice you are asking because you are thinking of what to give them!  If you're talking about bands, you could ask, "Why don’t you have any posters or t-shirts?” They may say they want them, or they may say they don’t like the band that much. If a topic comes up briefly in conversation, ask for their opinion: “My family likes to go bowling a lot. Do you like to bowling, or you prefer mini golf?”

TL;DR in English: Take note of their interests. Solve a problem. Slip questions into conversation that will give you more ideas.

Cinnamon oil can be made by using either cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon. Find out what is available in your area by checking at local grocery stores. If you have a local spice merchant, they may be able to help you find higher quality cinnamon than you would get at a local market.  If possible, opt to use cinnamon stick. They provide a richer flavor than ground cinnamon, and some claim that ground cinnamon is not as potent and does not offer the same health benefits.  Check out the different types of cinnamon. Look for Ceylon cinnamon if you want a milder taste, and try Cassia cinnamon if you want a bit more heat or a slightly more woody flavor. Olive oil is one of the more common carrier oils used to make cinnamon oil, but any neutral, lightly flavored oil will work. Look at the nutritional value, health benefits, and flavor profiles of your favorite kitchen oils to see which one best suits your needs.  Olive oil doesn’t break down quickly, and is good for cooking and baking. Its rich flavor may change the cinnamon flavor, though. Almond oil is a lighter, nuttier oil that is also safe to use under high temperatures. Canola oil doesn’t have a strong flavor of its own and is often used for pan frying or baking, but it does not have the same rich nutritional value as some other oils. Coconut oil may have a lightly coconut flavor, and is best when used in moderation due to its high saturated fat content. Flax seed oil is rich in certain micronutrients such as Omega-3 fatty acid and has a gentle taste. It does not stand up to heat well, though, and so is recommended for dressing, dipping, or direct ingestion. You will want to store your oil in clean glass jars. Find jars with rubber seals integrated into their lids, and select the size best fits your needs. The more oil you plan on using, the larger the jar should be.  Remember that your cinnamon oil will be good for the same amount of time as your carrier oil. Most cooking oils last for no longer than a year. Check the eat by dates and find containers that...

TL;DR in English: Choose your cinnamon. Find a carrier oil. Select a storage method.
