Use a clean and sanitized siphon tube to siphon the wine into clean and sanitized wine bottles. Make sure you work in an easy-to-clean spot as bottling wine can become messy. Remember, if you want to avoid contaminating your wine with mouth bacteria, use a suction bulb to siphon the wine. Each brand of corker is different. Therefore, follow the manufacturer instructions to cork bottles. Make sure you have enough corks for every bottle of wine. If corker has trouble moving, use WD-40 to lubricate moving parts. However, don’t use WD-40 on any parts that will touch the wine or the cork. Use a label maker or paper and tape to create an interesting label for your wine. Include the ingredients and the date of bottling. This will help you determine when your wine is ready to open. Go into detail when listing ingredients. If you like the wine or want to change it, you will instantly know what recipe you used. It’s hard to resist opening a bottle of homemade wine. However, the flavor of this wine is best after two or three years. If you simply can’t wait, the wine is safe to drink at any time, even though the flavor may not be as good. Create a new batch of wine every season to ensure that you have a steady supply of muscadine wine each year.

TL;DR in English: Siphon the wine into clean wine bottles. Use a corker to seal the bottles. Label the bottles with the date and ingredients. Let the wine ferment for two to three years.

Poor posture causes shallow breathing which harms your voice projection. You should also avoid slumping shoulders and slouching as these cause your words to be pointed towards the floor rather than your audience.  Stand straight with your chin up and shoulders back to project your voice out to the audience. Sitting can make voice projection more difficult, so proper posture is critical. Make sure to sit towards the front edge of your chair with your back as straight and elongated as possible. Pretend there is a string at the top of your head holding it up and straight. Some people think of projecting their voice as pushing to make it louder, but that only causes strain to your vocal cords, exacerbating the problem. Instead, you want to make your voice larger. When pushing your voice to project, you'll feel strain in your throat as you do after yelling. When making your voice bigger, you'll feel your chest doing the work. Imagine that your throat and mouth are huge, as big as the room you're speaking in. This will help the muscles inside your throat pull away and relax as they do when you yawn, so a bigger voice can emerge. Never cover your mouth when you speak- any object between your mouth and the person you talk to will obstruct your voice even more. It's also helpful to avoid fillers such as “um” or “uh” as these tend to make your voice trail off instead of project outward. Studying yourself while you speak will help you identify any possible pitfalls you may be succumbing to. Watch to see if you bring your hand up to cover your mouth, or if you start to slouch and look at the ground. Being able to see pitfalls in real time helps you learn to quickly fix them. Like the mirror trick, recording yourself to play back later will help you hear whether you're on the right track, or if you're pushing your voice instead of making it bigger. If you're pushing, your voice tends to sound strained and a bit higher in pitch than normal. Making your voice bigger should result in a slightly deeper and broader sound when...

TL;DR in English: Improve your posture. Make your voice bigger. Avoid nervous habits. Talk to the mirror. Record yourself speaking.

to your brother when he talks to you. Being a good listener is one of the main ways that you can communicate effectively with your brother. Wait to talk until your brother has finished speaking. If you don't understand something he says, ask him to clarify. Some other ways to be a good listener include:  Maintaining eye contact with your brother. Nodding and making neutral statements, such as “Yes,” “I see,” and “Go on.” Avoiding distractions, such as by not looking at your phone, watching TV, or playing video games while he's talking. If your brother has a cell phone, then you might also send him text messages now and then to keep in touch. This is a great way to let him know you're thinking about him even if you don't have time for a long, drawn-out conversation.  For example, you might text your brother something like, “Hey, Joey! How was your day?” Or, you might say, “Omg, did you see the new superheroes movie yet?” Sometimes part of the problem in sibling relationships is that one sibling does not tell the other that they care enough, and this can cause the other sibling to feel unloved. Even if you are certain that your brother knows you love him and would do anything for him, make sure to tell him that now and then.  For example, you might simply tell your younger brother, “I love you,” before you say goodbye to him. Or, you might say something like, “I'm so proud of you, little bro!” for an everyday declaration of affection. If you encounter a situation with your sibling where you need to assert yourself, do so in a way that does not cast blame on your brother. Use an “I” statement to express yourself and avoid labeling or making assumptions about your brother in the process.  For example, you might say something like, “I feel sad when I tell you about my day and you don't listen.” Or, you might say, “It is frustrating when I clean the bathroom and it's messy again a few hours later. In the future, let's try to work together to keep it clean.” If you feel like you don't know much about what your...

TL;DR in English: Listen Make it a point to say “hi” or ask how he's doing. Tell your brother that you care about him even if you think he knows. Express yourself to your brother in a non-judgmental way. Share your hopes and dreams with your brother. Acknowledge your brother's accomplishments without making comparisons.

Develop a system that works for you to consistently rotate your injection sites. Continue to move around your body using new sites for each injection. Using a clockwise strategy is helpful for many people to help rotate their injection sites. Use a chart or drawing of your body areas to identify the sites you just used or are planning to use. Your diabetic healthcare provider or doctor can help you develop a system to rotate your injection sites.  Inject into your abdomen, two inches away from your navel and not too far towards your sides. Looking into a mirror, begin on the upper left of the injection area, move next to the upper right area, then lower right, then lower left.  Move to your thighs. Begin closest to your upper body, then move the next injection site further down.  In your buttocks, start with your left side and closer to your side, then move towards your midline, then to the right side and towards the midline, then to the areas closer to your right side.  If your arms are appropriate according to your doctor or healthcare provider, move systematically either up or down with injection sites in those areas. Keep track of the sites as you use them in a systematic manner. One way to help minimize the pain upon injection is to avoid injections at hair roots.  Use needles with shorter lengths and smaller diameters. Shorter needles help to minimize the pain and are appropriate for most people.  Acceptable shorter needle lengths include those that are either 4.5 mm, 5 mm, or 6 mm in length. Some injection sites or needle lengths work best if you gently pinch the skin to create skin folds.  Use only the thumb and index finger to lift the skin. Using more of your hand causes muscle tissue to be lifted and increases the risk of injecting your insulin into muscle tissue.  Do not squeeze the skin fold. Gently hold the skin in place to give the injection. Squeezing tightly can cause more pain and possibly interfere with the dose delivery. Shorter needles are appropriate for most patients, can be easier to...

Whether you've been married for two years or twenty years, it can easily feel like you and your partner have fallen into a rut. Routines form because they are convenient and they make it easier to navigate your day-to-day life, but falling into ruts and routines in your relationship can slowly kill the romance without you even realizing it.  If you usually eat in most nights, try going out for a date night. If you typically make your own separate meals, try cooking a meal for your partner and eating together. Do something exciting together that you and your spouse wouldn't normally do. It doesn't have to be anything crazy, but it should push you both to have fun and get excited together. Take a romantic vacation together, or just plan a fun and exciting day together - even if it just means going to a carnival or an amusement park. When you and your spouse were dating, you probably flirted with one another all the time. So why did you stop? Most couples get comfortable with one another, which is obviously a good thing. But the downside of getting comfortable is forgetting how to turn on the charm, often because you haven't had to in several months (or even years).  Make eye contact. Smile at your partner and act giggly. Use romantic body language, and mimic your partner's body language.  Stand facing one another, avoid crossing your arms, and lean in towards one another when you speak. Physical contact is an important component of intimacy. Physical contact makes you feel desired, and it can make you feel comfortable and closer with your partner. If you're already very intimate and have a lot of physical contact, then keep doing it. If you've lost that part of your relationship, make an effort to bring it back.  Physical contact doesn't just mean sex (although many people do consider sex a healthy part of marriage). It can mean holding hands, snuggling, embracing, kissing, or any other kind of affectionate contact. Your partner probably wants physical contact as much as you do, but may be too shy or worried...

TL;DR in English: Change up your routine. Flirt with one another. Increase your physical contact. Make time for intimacy. Convey your sexual preferences. Consider seeing a couple's therapist.

Let the conversation continue as if you were already part of it. Just because you joined the conversation doesn't mean you need to dominate it. After joining, go back into listening mode for a little while. This will help you get a sense of the people in the conversation as well as set you up as a respectful person. When ready, it is often best to start with a small comment and judge the reaction before continuing.  ”That's amazing!” ”What, really?!” ”I can't believe it, that's crazy!” After successfully joining in on a conversation, you'll need to decide on whether or not to stay in the conversation. Reading the body language of the group can be particularly helpful in determining whether your presence there is welcomed by the group.   Glances. Making eye contact is great conversational practice anyway, so watch their faces and notice how they are looking at one another. If they are glancing at each other with odd or confused facial expressions, it may be time to make a graceful exit. Feet position. Take a quick glance at where everyone's toes are pointed. If someone has their feet pointed in your direction, they are open, engaged, and interested if what you have to say.  Change in body language. Look to see how their body language changes after you enter into the conversation. Are they remaining open, or opening more (e.g.- uncrossing their arms, moving in closer, etc.) or are they closing up (e.g.- crossing arms, leaning away, etc.)? Until you hit upon a topic that you can comment on or are interested in discussing further, ask questions. If nothing naturally pops up ask standard “getting-to-know-you” questions. Be careful not to stay in small talk too long as it can become tedious for everyone involved. Instead use those questions to search for a more interesting subject to transition to.   What do you do for work?/What are you studying in school? Are you from this area? Have you been able to travel this summer? Have you seen any interesting movies lately? Always remember throughout the conversation to...

TL;DR in English: Continue in the conversation. Watch the body language. Ask questions. Be courteous and polite.

regularly. Dirt or oil buildups on your diamond interfere with how light hits the stone, so be sure to clean your ring regularly. Drop your diamond into a mug of warm water mixed with a few drops of dish detergent and allow your ring to soak overnight. In the morning, gently scrub your diamond and the brackets with a soft-bristled baby toothbrush and notice the new sparkles. Any exercise activities that require you to use your hands, such as lifting weights or cycling, risks bending your ring from pressure. If you bend the setting brackets of your ring, your diamond can fall out of the ring. Leave your diamond ring at home when heading to the gym, or bring a little ring box and lock it up in your gym locker. When you're cooking, bacteria from food can get lodged into your stone settings and you also risk losing your ring down the drain while rinsing food.  Place your ring in a safe place on the kitchen counter away from the sink and food, or in your jewelry box in your bedroom, while cooking. During cleaning, you can bang your ring off of hard surfaces like the bathroom counters or expose them to harsh cleaning chemicals that aren't good for the stone.  For the safest bet, place your ring in your jewelry box in your bedroom while you're cleaning. If you don't want to remove your ring while cleaning, wear rubber gloves to cover your ring. Both the salt of the ocean and harsh pool chemicals are bad for maintaining the quality of your ring; they can eat away at the metal and cause discoloration. In addition, being in cold water can cause your fingers to shrink, meaning your ring can slip off more easily and be lost forever. Keep your ring safely at home or in your hotel room if you're hitting the pool or the beach. Lotions will make your diamonds look dull and lifeless over time. Remove your ring and place it in a safe place briefly while your apply moisturizer to your hands. Many people think they have to remove their diamond rings every time they wash their hands. However, it's easy to leave your ring on a...

Use your fingers to peel the thin, outer membrane off each liver. The membranes will come away easily. Try not to tear the liver as you remove the membranes. Liver is usually sold with the membranes already removed. Place 1 1/2 lb (680 g) of beef or chicken livers on a chopping board. Use a very sharp knife to slice the livers into strips. Be very careful when you use a knife to cut the liver thinly. Always make sure that you are using a sharp knife, as this is both safest and will make the best cuts. cm) slices. Place the onions on a chopping board and use a sharp knife to cut the ends off. Slice each onion in half and peel the skin off. Place the flat surface of each onion on the chopping board and carefully slice each half thinly. Pour ½ cup (64 g) of flour, 1 tsp (2.3 g) of freshly ground black pepper, and ½ tsp (2.5 g) of salt into a bowl. Use a fork to mix the ingredients thoroughly. Season the flour with more or less black pepper and salt depending on what you prefer. Place each slice of liver into the bowl with the flour, black pepper, and salt. Turn each slice over in the bowl to make sure that all of the sides are coated with the seasoned flour. Gently shake each slice of liver as you take it out from the bowl to remove the excess. A light flour coating is all that is necessary.

Eating excessive sweets and fatty foods increases your risk for pre-diabetes and Type 2 diabetes development. You can reverse high-normal blood sugar (pre-diabetes) and reduce your risk for Type 2 Diabetes by reducing unhealthy foods, watching your portions, and eating a balanced diet. Aim for seven to nine daily servings of fruit and vegetables. Frozen and dried fruits and vegetables offer some health benefits, but fresh, in-season produce always packs the most nutritional power. Try to reduce your intake of canned vegetables because they have higher salt content. Deeper colors often mean more nutrients, so it is best to eat a variety of different fruits and vegetables that offer an array of bright colors.  Some produce to focus on includes:  Dark green veggies like broccoli, spinach, kale, and Brussels sprouts Orange veggies like carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and winter squash Red fruits and vegetables like strawberries, raspberries, beets, and radishes Yellow foods such as squash, mango, and pineapple Skip the pastries, cakes, fries, and other processed carbohydrates. Fill up instead on carbohydrates that are healthy, including fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, and fresh breads. Look for choices with high fiber content; fiber has been shown to lower blood sugar by acting as a "mop" slowing down the digestive process and the speed with which glucose enters the bloodstream.  Eat legumes such as black beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, split peas, lentils. Select whole grains, whole grain rice, breakfast cereals with 100 percent whole grain content, and whole grain pasta. Choose whole-wheat bread products such as bagels, pita bread, and tortillas. One of the leading sources of empty calories and excess sugar is drinking sugar-laden beverages such as sodas and “juice drinks” with limited juice content.

With any diet, it’s important to follow approved recipes, foods and cooking techniques.  When followed appropriately, you'll see the best weight loss.  The Dukan Diet is made up of 4 distinct phases (the Attack, Cruise, Consolidation and Stabilization phases).  Each phase comes with different "allowed foods" and cooking techniques.  Make sure you're familiar with what phase you're in so you're following the diet appropriately. The Dukan Diet typically suggests low-fat cooking methods.  Use little to no added fat when cooking. Download different recipes or print out recipes that are appropriate for the Dukan Diet.  Also make a list of recipes you currently make that would fit into the Dukan Diet plan. The Dukan Diet specifically lists 68 sources of lean protein that are considered "allowed foods".  You can eat these protein sources in any phase of the diet.  Make sure you only consume the following types of protein:  Seafood:  arctic char, catfish, cod, flounder, grouper, haddock, halibut and smoked halibut, herring, mackerel, mahi mahi, monkfish, orange roughy, perch, red snapper, salmon or smoked salmon, sardines (fresh or canned in water), sea bass, shark, sole, surimi, swordfish, tilapia, trout, tuna  (fresh or canned in water), clams crab, crawfish, crayfish, lobster, mussels, octopus, oysters, scallops, shrimp and squid. Poultry:  eggs, chicken, chicken liver, Cornish hen, fat-free turkey and chicken sausages, low fat deli slices of chicken or turkey, ostrich steak, quail, turkey and wild duck. Red meats and pork:  beef tenderloin, filet mignon, buffalo, extra-lean ham, extra-lean Kosher beef hot dogs, lean center-cut pork chops, lean slices of roast beef, pork tenderloin, pork loin roast, reduced-fat bacon (i.e. center cut belly bacon, which is leaner than regular bacon), steak (flank, sirloin, London broil), veal chops, veal scallopini and venison. Vegetarian protein:  seitan, soy foods and veggie burgers, tempeh and tofu. Dairy products:  fat-free cottage cheese, Fat-free cream cheese, Fat-free milk,...

TL;DR in English: Follow approved recipes and cooking techniques. Eat the right type of protein foods. Eat allowed vegetables. Start with the Attack Phase. Introduce new foods on the Cruise Phase. Start to maintain your weight on the Consolidation Phase.

Buy your pig from a farm supplier or butcher. If possible, have the butcher "dress" the pig and remove the organs and troublesome accessory tissues before taking it home. The pig’s internal cavity should be totally empty to better conduct heat, or to allow you to stuff it should you so desire. You may be able to save a few bucks dressing it yourself, but it will add greatly to your workload.  Pigs come in different weights and sizes. Obviously, the larger the pig, the longer it will take to cook. If you don’t have all day to spend slow roasting, or aren’t feeding as many people, think about buying a small suckling pig. Ask your butcher about the means to transport the pig home. They will often be able to supply zip-up bags that will keep juices from getting all over your car and prevent the meat from being exposed to the open air. If you’ve bought a whole frozen pig, it will need to be thawed before it can be cooked. To thaw a frozen pig carcass, submerge it in a light ice bath and allow it to warm gradually as the ice melts. This can take several days if the pig is large enough. Pig carcasses are often covered in dirt, feces and bacteria, so it will be necessary to clean the pig before cooking it. Wipe down the pig’s extremities and any incisions or openings made by the butcher with a cold, wet towel. If you’re working outside, spraying the pig off with a hose can cut down on your prep time. Sprinkle the carcass liberally with coarse salt and massage it into the skin. Do the same for the inner cavity.  The pig will need a good wiping down even if it has already been cleaned by the butcher shop where you bought it. Salt not only works as a seasoning but has antimicrobial properties which can kill lingering germs. At this point, you can season the pig further, if you wish. Additional spices such as black pepper, cayenne, turmeric, paprika or seasoned salt can be rubbed into the skin, or you might inject a strong marinade or brine underneath the skin using a meat injector. This will impart extra flavor to the...

There are a variety of unpowered, handheld engraving tools you can use. To make detailed pictures, such as you might see in a 19th-century book, select two or three tools for different effects. Here are three common types of traditional, handheld engraving tools:   Spitstickers are used to carve fluid lines.  Gravers produce lines that swell or shrink as you cut, depending on changes in the tool's angle.  Scorpers, with round or square tips, gouge out large areas of the wood to produce white space in the printed image. This tool is probably not necessary if you are not printing. Take a bottle of black pen ink, and use a brush or a cloth to barely cover a flat, wooden block. This will make the areas you've already cut stand out, so it's important not to use so much ink that it soaks down below the surface. Let the ink dry completely. Once it has, check whether there is a rough "nap" to the wood. If there is, remove it by burnishing firmly with a paper towel. A small, leather sandbag makes an excellent support for the wood, providing a firm backing regardless of the direction you push. Clamping the wood to a table is not recommended, since you'll need to move the block around as you engrave. Hold the tool as you would a computer mouse, with your hand lightly cupped around the handle. Press against one side of the metal stem with your index finger, and press the other side with your thumb. Let the heel of the handle rest in your cupped palm; when engraving, you'll push against the heel to provide pressure. Press the tool into the wood at a shallow angle to engrave. Use your other hand to turn the wooden block slowly as you push forward with the tool. Cut no more than 1 centimeter (less than ½ inch) at a time before adjusting the position of your hand. It will likely take some practice before you can cut smoothly.  If the tool quickly embeds itself and halt, the angle is probably too steep.  "Graver" tools can be gradually moved to a steeper or shallower angle to widen or narrow the line drawn. This can take some...

TL;DR in English: Select engraving tools. Apply a thin layer of ink over the wood. Check that the surface is prepared. Support the wood (optional). Hold the engraving tools. Engrave the wood. Experiment with your approach. Add ink to the woodcut. Transfer your design onto paper. Clean your tools.

To get out of a bad relationship, the first step is to recognize that you’re in one. It’s easy to ignore the signs and keep living your daily life in a failing relationship, but no one should suffer like that. Everyone deserves to be happy.  Write down the warning signs you feel are happening in your relationship. Review the list to get a clear picture of what is truly happening. Talk to a close friend or family member about your concerns to hear someone else’s view. Know that you have the power to make a change and to get out of the relationship. Ask a trusted friend or family member if you can spend some time with them after you cut ties in the relationship. Having someone close to you provide support will help you feel better about your decision. If your relationship has had a history of abuse, it is important to let someone know your plans to help provide you with safety following the break up. You should also develop a safety plan for when you leave the relationship. This should include getting support from loved ones and domestic violence professionals, anticipating a change of heart and resisting the urge to stay, and having your things ready to go. To be able to succeed at ending a bad relationship, you need to have a plan in place. Creating a plan of action can help you hold yourself accountable to follow through. The most successful plan is one with specific implementation intentions, or if/then statements.  ”If I start to miss my ex, then I will call a friend to go hang out.” ”If I begin to regret my decision, then I will write out a list of the reasons I left.” ”If I become depressed over the break-up, then I will seek out help.”

TL;DR in English: Admit you're in a bad relationship. Arrange a place to go after the break up. Create a plan of action.

If you've got too much stuff already, do a declutter. Simply remove as much as possible from your life, including excess clothing, furniture, electronics, and other possessions that aren't critical to your life. If you're forced to downsize due to a job loss or because you're moving, try to see this as a great opportunity to rid yourself of anything weighs you down. If you don't have any stuff, then you're ready to skip this step and move to the next one.   See what you can sell rather than throwing it away. If you don't have the time or fortitude to sell it online, try an auction house. An easier way to sell online than listing individual items is to bulk sell – while you'll get less than if you took the time to sell items individually, you will at least recoup a decent amount for your unwanted possessions. Take all items you no longer want to your local item collection charity. Consider, for example, cutting some services or changing carriers. You'd be amazed at what you can live without once you don't have it anymore. Contact other available carriers in your area for a cell phone quote and select the cheapest one (if it is less than your current plan).  This may include choosing a cheaper data plan and lowering data usage by turning off automatic app updates and other services. If you need to, consider downgrading your phone if you are finding it difficult to keep up with payments on a top-of-the-line smartphone. In many cases, people are paying for channels or services that they don't use. Save money by switching back to a basic package or cutting cable entirely in favor of online streaming services like Netflix. If you want to make the change but fear you'll miss big programs like sporting events, consider watching these events at friends' houses or restaurants instead. You'll save money and get to enjoy the company of your friends at the same time. If you live in a city, there is plenty of public transportation available to get you to your destination and it's cheaper to take the occasional taxi for...

To achieve tight ringlets, you will need to set your hair in small sponge rollers. The first row of rollers will go down the center of your head staring at the front of your scalp and ending at the nape of your neck.  Use a comb to section off a vertical segment of hair at the front of your scalp. This first section should be centered on your head. Do not make it longer than the curler itself or thicker than the curler. A section that is too long or too thick will not remain tightly curled. Unclip your first roller. Place the roller behind the section of hair. Slide the roller up the strand from the roots to the tips so that the hair is standing straight up. Tuck the ends under the roller and proceed to twist it down towards your scalp. Continue to section off your hair and set rollers down the center of your head until your reach the nape of your neck. Once you have completed the top section, you can set rollers on the right and left sides of your head. Work from the front to the center back of each side of your head. Section of the hair and set the rollers as you did for the top section—don’t forget to roll away from your head. Everyone’s curls will set at different rates. If you wet set your hair, leave the rollers in overnight and allow your hair to air dry. If you put rollers in your dry hair, you may opt to leave them in for anywhere from 15 minutes (for a slight wave) to 5 hours—your ringlets will become more defined the longer the rollers are left in your hair. After allowing your curls to set, remove the rollers one at a time. Comb your fingers through the ringlets to fluff and separate the curly strands. Finish your do with a spritz of hairspray or a small dollop of pomade. Brushing or combing through your ringlets will cause them to snarl.

TL;DR in English: Set a row of small rollers down the center of your head. Set the hair on the sides of your head. Allow the curls to set. Take out the rollers and style your hair.

Your sparse-looking brows may actually be full of little white baby hairs, and tinting them a darker shade will reveal a bolder, thicker eyebrow.  Tinting lasts between three and five weeks.  Tinting can easily go wrong if the shade is too dark, the chemicals too harsh, or you stain your skin, so make sure you go to a professional with a good reputation. Visit a brow bar or salon for this procedure, where they will glue individual synthetic or natural hairs to your brow hair, creating the (temporary) full brow of your dreams. Unlike eyelash extensions, brow extensions will not damage your existing hair as they fall off, so they won't interrupt your progress if you're growing yours out.  If you don't have eyebrows, the extensions can be glued directly to your skin, but they will only last a few days.  Extensions only last a few weeks at the most, and touching, washing, or exercising can make them fall off even faster. If your eyebrow hair will no longer grow, a plastic surgeon can carefully design a brow that best fits your face and build it using your own hair. The finished look should be natural, with the new hair blending into your brow.  A brow transplant is irreversible, so make sure you are thinking about what looks best on you, not what is most popular right now.  Do some research and find a reputable surgeon who has experience with the procedure. Ask to see before and after pictures from their other clients.

TL;DR in English: Get your brows tinted. Get extensions for special occasions. Talk to a plastic surgeon about a brow transplant.

Sometimes it's hard to tell how a piece of clothing will fall on your body. If you're specifically looking for a top to hide stretch marks, be sure to try it on first before buying. Stretch marks are also very common at the armpit and upper arms, especially if you exercise or build up muscle in that area. Avoid tank tops and spaghetti straps, which would draw attention to your stretch marks. When trying on tops with short sleeves, be sure to raise your arm up high in front of a mirror. Sleeves that may look fine with your arms at your sides may ride up, exposing your stretch marks. In cooler weather, wear scarves and shawls to cover your stretch marks. Avoid wearing jewelry over bare skin near your stretch marks. The shine from the jewelry will draw eyes to the problem area. Instead, wear your most eye-catching pieces away from your chest, such as on your ears and wrists. If you carry a purse or handbag, pick either a clutch or one with long straps. A short purse held near your armpit will bring attention to your chest area. While skimpy bathing suits are popular, there are still plenty available that will cover problem areas on your chest. If you want to avoid looking too modest, find a swimsuit that hides your stretch marks while flaunting another area that you're proud of, such as a crop top. Another fashionable look is to use mesh insets to camouflage blemishes while still showing your skin.

TL;DR in English: Avoid low-cut necklines. Wear tops with sleeves. Find the right accessories. Pick out the right swimwear.

Either double-click a Word document, or open Word and then select the document from the list of recently opened documents if applicable. Click to the left of the first word in your document to place the cursor there. "Find and Replace" will only search for words after the cursor. If you only want to search for words in a specific section of text (rather than the whole document), highlight that section instead. It's on the far-left side of the Microsoft Word ribbon, which is the blue strip at the top of the Word window. It's on the far-right side of the Microsoft Word ribbon. This will highlight instances of the word you searched for in the document. These arrows are on the right side of the search bar. This will cycle through the different areas of your paper in which your typed word appears. It's to the right of the magnifying glass icon that's on the left side of the search bar. Doing so prompts a drop-down menu. This option is in the drop-down menu. Clicking Replace opens a left-hand sidebar. It's near the top of the FIND AND REPLACE sidebar. You should use a word you with which you intend to replace the searched word. It's below the "Replace With" field. This will replace each instance of the word you searched for with the word you typed into the "Replace" field.  For example, if your searched word was "spumoni" and you meant to write "neopolitan", typing "neopolitan" into "Replace With" and click Replace All would remove "spumoni" from the paper and replace it with "neopolitan". If you would rather replace some, but not all, instances of a word, you can click Replace instead to go word-by-word. You may need to click the beginning of the paper again before doing so.

While she is decompressing go ahead and put the finishing touches on the setup. Light the candles and turn on the music. Wait until she is ready to do any of this. If you do this before she has arrived she may not feel she can de-stress. Furthermore you don't want to leave the candles unattended since they can catch other items on fire. When she is ready for the massage she will likely do this naturally. If she is uncomfortable with taking off her bra for this you may allow her to lie down before unfastening the strap. Let her know that oil may get on her bra if she does not remove it after lying down. Unless you are used to spreading oil on skin, start by applying the oil to your hands. Then rub your hands on her back. If you seem to need more, put more on your hands and repeat. Do this until your hands slide effortlessly up and down her back. Be sure to get her shoulders, neck, and sides. Herein lies much of her stress. Start by cupping your hands over her shoulders. Gently squeeze your hands to put pressure on the muscles in her shoulders. Apply pressure evenly with your fingers as you massage the muscles. Avoid the collar bone and move left and right from neck to arms and back.  One technique is to place your thumb on the back of her shoulder for pressure. While keeping the fingers in the same place, move the thumb across her back and toward her neck with each squeeze. Reposition your fingers and hand periodically to ensure a complete massage. Don't forget the neck and the upper arms. With the neck, simply massage the back and sides gently with your fingertips and thumbs. With the upper arms you will come almost entirely off the shoulder and knead the upper arm. Apply equal pressure with your fingers and thumb and allow your hand to slip away from the arm with each squeeze. After massaging her shoulders, move to her back. Place your open hands on each side of her back. with the tips of your fingers and thumbs, begin making small circular movements while slightly opening and closing your hand. As you move...

TL;DR in English: Take time to put the starting touches on the massage area. Have her remove her top and bra and lie face down. Apply oil to your hands and her back. Start by massaging her shoulders. Knead the sides of the back with your thumbs and fingers. Slide your hand up and down the sides of her back. Use your body's weight for pressure.

This is a quick and easy way to get out of a boring conversation. It works great whether you're at a party or a networking event. Simply look around for someone to bring into the conversation and then ask the person if they've met that person and quickly introduce them. Ideally, the people should have a reason for meeting, like a common interest or a business opportunity. You can stick around for a little while as the two people get to know each other and then excuse yourself. Here are some things you can say:  "Hey, have you met Chris? He's actually also in an a cappella group. Small world, huh?" "Have you been introduced to Mark Stearns yet? He's the head of the Boring Corporation." Though this isn't the most mature move in the world, you may just be feeling desperate enough to catch a friend's eye and give him or her the save me look. Your friend should understand that it's a social emergency and should come to your aid. If this is the kind of thing that happens to you all too often, then you should have a signal with your friend, such as tugging at your ear or clearing your throat a lot. Though you don't want to be too obvious about it, you should let your friend know that he or she should come over and help you extract yourself from the conversation.  The friend can come over and say, "I'm sorry, but I really need to talk to you." Then you can apologize profusely as you leave. Your friend can also join in to the conversation and make it more exciting, if it's impossible to escape. This is another creative way to get out of a boring conversation. Look around the room for someone you'd like to be introduced to — even if you're not completely dying to be introduced to that person. It could be a work-related connection or a person from your social circle that you haven't actually met yet. Ask the person you're talking to to introduce the two of you, and you could be on your way to having a much more interesting conversation. Here are some things you can say:  "Hey, is that John, Mary's boyfriend? I've been...

TL;DR in English: Introduce the person to somebody. Get help from a friend. Ask to be introduced to someone else. Leave when other people join the conversation. Ask the person to join you in doing something.

Every school has its own set of rules that help students stay safe and learn well. You may need a hall pass to use the bathroom during class, for example. Learning the rules of the school will help you adjust and will keep you out of trouble. When you are starting a new school, you should follow your teachers' instructions very closely. You don’t need to be a brown-noser, but making a good impression with your teachers will go a long way to making a positive adjustment to a new school. Keeping up with your homework and making a solid effort to do well in school will help with your adjustment. You are already under enough stress with adjusting to a new school that you don’t want to add more stress with poor grades. When you move to a new school, your education so far is assessed and you are placed in your grade. Almost all of the time, this will mean that you are placed in the grade you are expecting (for example, if you left your old school in 4th grade and you’re moving over the summer, you’ll start in 5th grade). If you are in high school, meet with a school counselor to make sure you are on track with prerequisites and graduation requirements. When you are adjusting to a new school, you might feel lonely or shy. But every day, there are good things that happen, even if they are minor. Telling your parents about these things can help you realize that you are getting used to your school. Examples include: getting a good score on a test, saying hello to someone new, scoring a goal in PE, and so on.

Prepare the hole you are going to patch. Place a piece of scrap denim on the other side of the hole.

Random branch evergreens like junipers, arborvitae, yews, and hemlocks usually sprout new branches with flat needles during the spring. You can prune them for size once or twice annually, but you should leave behind at least one-third of new growth during each pruning.  The needles on areas of new growth tend to be softer and lighter in color. Leaving some new growth behind is beneficial for the health of the evergreen. As the name indicates, random branch evergreens grow in less naturally-structured shapes than do pines, spruces, or firs. This means you may want to be a bit more aggressive in shaping them to suit your aesthetic preferences.  You can shear random branch evergreens several (e.g., 2-3) times during the spring and summer, if you wish. However, as you shear and prune for shape, make sure to leave behind some of the new growth. Random branch evergreens don’t need to be shaped, and will do just fine if you let them grow naturally. Most random branch evergreens develop an area in the center where there are no needles, due to the lack of sunlight. If you prune back to this “dead zone,” new growth will not occur there and you’ll end up with a bare patch. When pruning for size or shape, work with what you have instead of trying to force your evergreen into a specific look. For instance, try to find the beauty in the “randomness” of your upright juniper!

TL;DR in English: Remove up to two-thirds of new growth to control their size. Prune or shear them for shape in spring and summer. Don’t prune them back to the “dead zone” in the middle.

Integral dye is usually separated into a pre-weighed container intended for a specific amount of concrete (like a cubic yard). To more easily and completely distribute the dye, transfer it from its container to a plain paper bag. Prevent dye from escaping the bag by rolling or folding its top closed.  Pouring dye straight from its container into a mixer can be difficult and result in lost dye. Once in a paper bag, the bag and dye can be tossed into the mixer together because the paper will dissolve in the cement. To limit contamination, avoid using paper bags with any ink. Although unlikely, ink from labels or lettering could slightly alter the color of the integral dye. This is especially important if you'll be adding a large amount of dye to the concrete. Dye can cause concrete to thicken, so you may want to add a little more water to the mixer before putting in the dye. Try to get the consistency of your concrete as perfect as possible before adding the dye. Once you add the dye, avoid adding more water. Adding water can noticeably lighten the concrete's color. Set your concrete mixer to its max speed and toss the dye bag inside. Dye should distribute with concrete in a mixer for about 15 minutes at the max mixing speed or for about 130 revolutions of the mixer.  After your dye is finished mixing, you'll be ready to pour the concrete into your forms. The whole batch of concrete should be dyed one consistent color throughout. When pouring the concrete, keep an eye out for any large pieces of paper bag. Although rare, sometimes pieces of the bag do not dissolve. Simply fish out these pieces and throw them away. Check a weather report before attempting to pour integrally dyed concrete. If water splashes on its surface before it finishes curing, the color may lighten or change. Covering dyed concrete before it fully cures can also significantly alter its final color.

TL;DR in English: Transfer the dye to a plain paper bag. Check the consistency of the concrete. Insert the dye bag into the concrete mixer. Avoid dyeing in rainy weather.

If your game comes with pre-set characters, choose your favorite or the one you identify with most. If you have your heart set on a specific character, let the other players know beforehand. Many character lists are divided by class--warriors, wizards, healers, and similar categories. If you don't have a favorite, check out their stats and see if any class in particular appeals to you. If your game has room for an imaginary character, think about what you'd like your character to be. What kind of character you'll choose will depend on what kind of game you're playing. Sorcerers are great for medieval fantasy games, while aliens would be better for a Star Trek roleplay. Every roleplaying character has a set of strengths and a set of weaknesses, and they should balance each other out. Nobody will want to play with you if your character is immortal and can never be hurt or tricked, but you won't enjoy the game if your character is so weak they die every round. Think about any drawbacks of your character choices. For example, your werewolf character might be stronger and scarier than your friend's vampire, but you'll only be able to use it if there's a full moon in the game. If your character has a weapon, armor, magic bag, or anything else than can affect the game, make sure you tell the other players about it first. You should also devise an attack or hit level the accessories give your character. For example, if your character has a pocketknife and a sword, the sword should be able to cause more damage than the knife. Or if your character carries a healing potion, determine if it can bring people back from the dead or just cure minor wounds.

TL;DR in English: Choose a character from the game list. Make up your own character. Pick your character's strengths and weaknesses. Choose your character's accessories.

Another easy alternative to sewing in a patch is to get an iron-on patch and use that instead. As always, begin by cutting away excess threads so the hole is clear, before turning your jeans inside out and preparing the patch you are going to iron on to your jeans. Measure the hole with a tape measure and cut the patch to size ensuring that there is a clearance of at least ½ inch around the hole.  You can measure this by eye, but by using a tape measure, you are less likely to get it wrong and end up wasting a patch by cutting it too small. Cutting rounded corners on the patch will help prevent it peeling up. Whether you are adding the patch to the outside or the inside of the jeans, using a scrap of denim on the opposite side to the patch will prevent the patch sticking to the other side of the jeans and potentially sticking the two sides together. This could seal your jeans shut and you might damage them if you then have to tear the leg open again.

For the hash browns, you'll need 3 medium russet potatoes. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin, and grate the potatoes with a box grater so they're shredded.  You can substitute sweet potatoes for the russet potatoes if you prefer. If you prefer, you can leave the skin on the potatoes. You can also use a shredder attachment on your food processor to grate the potatoes. If you want your hash browns to be extra crispy, soak the potatoes in cold water after shredding them to help release some of the starch. Drain them well, and pat dry with paper towel before you cook them, though. Place a large skillet on the stove, and turn the burner to medium-high. Allow the pan to heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until it is hot. For the best results, use a cast-iron skillet to make the hash browns. Once the skillet is hot, add 2 tablespoons (26 g) of coconut oil, ¼ cup (40 g) of finely diced yellow onion, and ⅓ cup (60 g) of finely diced red bell pepper. Allow the mixture to cook for about 1 minute to heat it through.  You can substitute ghee for the coconut oil if you prefer. If you like, you can use a combination of red and yellow bell peppers. After you've cooked the onion and peppers for a minute, add the shredded potatoes to the skillet. Allow the mixture to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown. Be sure to spread the potatoes in an even layer across the skillet so they cook properly. When the hash browns have cooked for several minutes, use a wide spatula to begin flipping the potato mixture over. Work section by section until you've turned all of it over, and allow the hash browns to cook until they are golden brown, which should take approximately 5 to 7 minutes. You may need to flip the potatoes over more than once to cook them properly on both sides. When the hash browns are finished cooking, use the spatula to carefully lift them out of the skillet. Place them on a platter, and serve with your favorite breakfast foods.  The recipes makes 4 to 5 servings of hash browns. Store leftover hash...

TL;DR in English: Peel and grate the potatoes. Heat a large skillet. Add the oil, onions and peppers and saute briefly. Mix in the shredded potatoes and cook them for several minutes.

Whichever route you go, choose a small, innocuous area to test the method.  You don't need to test the ink-removal aspect of the method.  Just test the cleaning method to ensure that you will not damage or otherwise mark the surface you're hoping to clean. Don't rub too aggressively, as materials like cotton and baking soda have some abrasion potential and may damage some surfaces. Remember to clean the area from which you remove a stain with a water-dampened cloth or paper towel. Mix baking soda with water until you have enough spreadable paste to cover the ink-stained desk or table. Baking soda can be used on almost anything, including laminate, metal, plastic, wood, and glass.  Spread the paste thickly over the stain and rub it in with your fingertips or a toothbrush. Use a clean, damp cloth to gently scrub the are to remove the paste. Don't scrub too aggressively, as this may scratch the surface of various materials. Repeat the steps if necessary. Wipe the area clean with a cotton ball moistened with rubbing alcohol. Toothpaste with baking soda in it works especially well. Coat the area healthily and gently smooth the toothpaste over the surface of the stained area.  Wipe the toothpaste away with a water-dampened cloth. Wipe gently, so as not to scratch softer surfaces. If any toothpaste remains, wipe it away with a cotton ball moistened with rubbing alcohol. If the table or desk is wood, allow the paste to set for 10-15 minutes. For other surfaces, a shorter period of time will likely suffice. The cleaning strength of acetone is so well known it's used to remove nail polish!  It will likely readily remove your ink stain as well.  Place a cotton ball on the opening of a bottle of nail polish remover and shake gently to allow the cotton ball to absorb the liquid. Gently rub the ink stain until the ink is lifted. Take extra care when using acetone or nail polish remover.  Wear gloves and remember to test the surface for colorfastness. Acetone can be used to clean metal, glass, plastic, and even leather....

TL;DR in English: Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous spot. Try baking soda. Use toothpaste. Apply acetone or nail polish remover. Opt for spray-on insect repellent or sunscreen. Remove a longstanding ink stain from wood with mayonnaise.

Anytime you're connecting or disconnecting an effects pedal, you need to cut the power to everything in the chain. While the power cables can and should be plugged in to each separate unit, the units themselves should be switched off. Make sure the amp and each pedal are switched off when you connect them.  There is one exception to this rule though - if you are using a tube or valve amp.  In this case, you want to keep the amp turned on but put the amp in standby mode using the standby switch.  Trying to connect live circuits can result in shorts, as well as loud pops and feedback bursts that will come through the amp. It'll shorten the life of all the components in your rig. Don't do it. The biggest thing to avoid is powering on a pedal, connecting it, then powering on the amplifier. This is a fast-track to a short. To make sure the pedals and the amp are off before you connect them, you'll need to have them plugged in. Connect both your pedal and your amp to power and switch them on and off to make sure. Some guitar pedals will come with 9-volt A/C adapters, while others will be battery-operated, though most feature both options. For most guitar players, batteries are nice because it's one less thing to plug in, but are a hassle because batteries die and are expensive. Most pedals will have only two jacks, one labeled "Input," and another labeled "Output." These jacks are usually located on opposite sides of the pedal's body, depending on the unit, and are built to accept a standard quarter-inch (6 mm) audio cable. Locate the input and output jacks on the guitar pedal, then connect your guitar to the jack labeled "input." All the inputs and outputs can get confusing for the beginner. Remember: the audio signal is generated by your guitar's pickups, from where it travels to the amp through the cable. So, the guitar should always be connected to the input jack of the pedal, because this reflects the direction in which the signal travels. You play a sound on the guitar, then it travels “in” to the pedal,...

TL;DR in English: Turn everything off. Hook your amplifier and pedal up to power. Connect your guitar to the input jack. Connect the output jack on the pedal to the input of the amplifier. Turn the amplifier on first and set your levels. Turn down the effect knobs before switching it on. Experiment with the pedal. Always unplug cables when you're finished playing.

Swamp coolers work best when the humidity outside is relatively low, making the dew point low. You can check the dew point on most weather apps and weather websites.  The dew point is the temperature at which the water in the air is evaporating and condensing at the same rate. You want a lower dew point because swamp coolers work by evaporating water in the air to cool the room down. The lower the dew point, the lower you can cool. Typically, you can cool down the air to 20 degrees above the dew point temperature without your home getting too humid.  You can also use a dew point calculator to calculate the dew point, such as this one: http://www.dpcalc.org/. You need to know the temperature and humidity. For swamp coolers to work, you need to let air out at the same rate that the swamp cooler is blowing air in. That way, humidity won't build up in your house, making it seem warmer than it actually is. Though opening windows seems counter-intuitive, it actually helps your swamp cooler work better.  You'll need 1 to 2 square feet (0.093 to 0.186 m2) of open window space per 1,000 cfm, which is the unit's cooling capacity. You don't want to open them too far because that lets in hot air.  The other option for ventilation is installing grills to the attic, if your attic has ventilation. To help direct the cool air where you want it, only open windows where you want the air to be cooler, as that will pull the cold air that direction. Keep the windows closed in areas you don't want to cool down. If the weather is nice outside but your house is a little warm, you can use most swamp coolers as a house-wide fan. Pick the vent-only option to cool down your house with outside air. Generally, swamp coolers have more than one speed. The higher speed will keep your home cooler, but the lower speed is more energy efficient. Pick the one that meets your needs.

TL;DR in English: Operate the cooler when the dew point is under 55 °F (13 °C). Let the air out by opening a window or two. Close windows in areas you don't want to cool. Use the fan option when the weather is nice. Change the speed to your preference.

Be sure to clean your hands thoroughly, as you would if putting drops in your own eyes. Dry your hands completely using a clean towel. Before you prepare the child, be sure you have the correct product, you know which eye is involved, and how many drops to instill. Sometimes the medication is needed in both eyes.  Check for visible particles floating in the solution, the expiration date, and be sure you have an ophthalmic product.  Be sure the container has not been damaged and the tip appears clean and is not discolored. Do not wipe or touch the tip.  Gently shake the container to be sure the solution is mixed. Explain what you are doing. Talk to the child and let them know what you are about to do.  In young children, you may need to drop a small amount of the medication on the back of their hand so they can see it does not hurt.  Let the child see you go through the motions of putting the drop into your own eye, or into the eye of another adult. Be sure the container has the top secured as you pretend to administer the drops to yourself or another adult. It often takes two people to put drops into the eye of a child. One person is responsible for gently holding the child in a comforting way and keeping the child’s hands away from their eyes.  Take care not to scare the child. If the child is old enough to understand, let them know it is important that their hands are kept away from their eyes. Consider letting the child decide on how to best accomplish that, so the child does not feel trapped. Suggest that they sit on their hands, or lie on their back with their hands beneath them. The assisting adult will need to help keep the child’s hands away from their eyes, and the child’s head as still as possible.  Work as quickly as you safely can in order to minimize the stress and anxiety felt by the child. Be sure the eyes are clean and free of crusty material, dirt, or sweat.  If needed, gently wipe the eyes using a clean cloth or sterile dressing materials if available. Wipe from the inner part of the eye to...

TL;DR in English: Wash your hands. Check the eye drops. Prepare the child. Hold the child gently. Clean the child’s eyes. Ask the child to look up. Avoid touching the container to the eye. Replace the cap. Praise the child. Try another method. Wrap an infant. Offer a bottle or breast.

Great writers read extensively. Reading nature poetry that's already been published by successful poets can give you ideas, inspiration, and can open your eyes to what's possible in a nature poem.  A good place to find nature poetry is the Academy of American Poets website. You can search for poets, or use the website's filter to find all works categorized as nature poems.  Search for poems by poets known for their nature-based works. Gary Snyder, for example, is an American poet who's been writing about nature for much of his life. Romantic poets such as Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Keats are also known to include nature in their poetry.  Check your library for published books of nature poetry, anthologies, and nature-themed literary journals. If you're interested in writing a poem about nature, the best way to start is by going out into nature. Whether you go for a short walk, a long camping trip, or anything in between, getting outdoors will help you find inspiration and imagery.  In contemporary times, nature takes many forms. You don't have to go out to the countryside or deep in a forest to find inspiration - try visiting an urban park if you can't get into the wilderness.  Consider seeking inspiration where the natural world meets the pavement. Even remote forests wouldn't be accessible without roads to lead you there - perhaps you can find something inspiring in that transitional zone. When you're out in nature (however you define it), you should begin to feel inspired or creative as you take in your surroundings. It's okay if it doesn't come to you right away - you can always analyze your thoughts/feelings later.  As you observe the natural world around you, begin by noticing what you see, hear, smell, and feel. Next, try to draw associations from the things you're observing. What do your observations remind you of in your own life? Why do you notice the things you do in nature? You can take another step back and consider where you first learned to interact with nature. Don't worry...

Under the Trackpad settings, make sure you are in the Point & Click tab. There are four options and a track speed slider included here.  The Macbook Pro's trackpad has two clicking options. Pressing down works like a button; your trackpad will click and feel as if you pressed a button. This is how you can click, but there is an option to simply tap lightly on the trackpad instead. If you want this option, look to see if it has been toggled (a blue check mark would be in the box next to it). The second option is called Secondary Click. This is similar to right-clicking. You can use the default option of just two fingers or a special option, which is offered in a drop-down box. The video on the right will show you how to use this option. The Look Up option is useful for when you need to define a certain word on a site. You hover over the word and tap three fingers at once to bring up the dictionary term. Three-finger drag is useful for quickly moving windows around on your screen while you are working. If you decide to use it, remember your cursor has to be on the window you want to move, and it must be a currently selected window. Tracking speed is how fast the cursor follows your movements. It's suggested to adjust the speed, as you feel necessary. Everyone is different—some like the cursor to be slower than their fingers, some like it to move faster than their fingers. Test a few speeds and adjust to how you feel.

TL;DR in English: Adjust the Point & Click settings.

Once you have got some space to yourself, you can use this time to consider how you play a role in the other person’s silence. This is not placing the fault on you, but giving you the power to recognize and change any communication patterns that may lead you to this point.   As you reflect on your interactions with the person, try to find common patterns in your own behavior. For instance, your boyfriend was talking and you interrupted him because you assumed you knew what he was about to say. The silent treatment ensued shortly afterward. Your tendency to “predict” his thoughts could be causing frustration that prompts him to pull away. You can minimize your part in causing the silent treatment in this scenario by practicing active listening. Don’t cut in on your partner when they are talking. Give them time to fully express their message before you respond. Feeling manipulated can generate anger within you, which can push an already unhelpful interaction into dangerous territory. Recognize that it won’t do any good for your relationship to display anger. Use the space you get during the silent treatment to minimize the negative emotions you feel.   Try some relaxation techniques such as guided imagery, deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or gentle stretching to reduce anger and promote calm.  If you need time to cool down, try taking a one hour break or even agree to table the conversation until the following day. Just don’t put it off for too long. When you effectively set boundaries in your relationships, you increase the chances of living according to your values. Whether the person giving the silent treatment is a parent, best friend, or lover, you can limit your own feelings getting hurt by this toxic relational pattern by developing personal boundaries.  Set boundaries by first thinking about how you want to be treated in your relationships, and what you will and will not accept from those around you. Once you have established these limits, share these expectations with your loved ones....

TL;DR in English: Identify your role in the silent treatment cycle. Reduce anger to avoid worsening the situation. Set personal boundaries. Perform self-care.

Cut down or cut back any trees or shrubs that may be in the way. Keep in mind that it will be harder to care for and trim any shrubs or branches in the back or on the sides of your shed. If you plan to keep some trees or shrubs in these areas, consider keeping a path clear that runs all the way around your shed. While cutting down trees to allow you to build your shed is a large job, removing the stump is equally as important. If some roots or a part of the stump are left behind, there is a chance that the tree will regrow, which could cause damage to your shed. You can use a stump killer purchased at a garden supply store, or you can spread Epsom salts to kill the roots and plant before digging it out of the ground. You may be surprised how strong weeds are; some can punch up through the floor of your shed even if it’s built of concrete. Because of this, it is important to get rid of these weeds before you build your shed. To get rid of weeds, you can:  Use chemical weed controllers. Dig the weeds out by hand. Lay down horticultural fabric that will effectively keep weeds from growing by blocking their light source. . Your shed will need a level surface to stand on. An uneven surface will cause problems later, such as causing the shed to warp. If the ground is uneven, start by leveling this out. If you do not know how to level ground, click  here for more information.  If you are making a flat surface on a slope, take steps to prevent ground slide later on. You may need to shore the earth back to prevent this from happening. If you can’t level the ground so that it is absolutely flat, don’t get too stressed. You can compensate for an uneven surface by excavating a deeper base for the shed and then putting in concrete and leveling it to create a flat surface.

TL;DR in English: Clear the space where you plan to put your shed. Remove the stump of any trees you cut down. Eliminate any weeds in the area.  Level the ground where you plan to build your shed

The North Star is more reliable than a compass, which can be affected by environmental factors and periodic variations. If you can find north by locating the North Star and your compass tells you something different, follow the direction the North Star leads you. Where the North Star appears in the sky depends on your latitude. At the North Pole, the North Star appears directly overhead, but at the equator, it would appear on the horizon – both corresponding to the latitudes of the location. If you use the “fist” method and count how many “fists” the North Star appears over the horizon, that will give you your latitude. Remember that a “fist” counts as approximately 10 degrees for latitude. Use the North Star to guide you in a direction, or at the very least, to keep you from going in circles if you are lost. Think about where you are and which direction would be the most helpful, especially if you are lost in the wilderness and need to get back to civilization.  Once you have found the North Star, facing it will point you due north. If you face directly away from it, you'll be facing due south.  When you are facing the North Star, stretch your arms out to your sides. Your left hand will be pointing due west and your right hand will be pointing due east.

TL;DR in English:


Choose your starter wisely. Have an HM Slave. Train your Pokémon to be at least lvl.

An epilator is made of many many tweezers that pluck out the hair, and can remove your hair for up to two weeks on average. Epilators are painful and more time consuming than shaving, but because it removes the entire hair follicle the results will last much longer. Instead of cutting the hair, an epilator has grooves and small indents where, as you run it up your body it grips the hair and pulls it out at the root. Epilators, however can cause a lot of problems with ingrown hairs - be sure to use a hair reduction cream like Depil or Vanish PFB after use. Epilators cannot reach into creases or wrinkles, but they may grab exposed skin painfully. Use one hand to pull your skin tight as you use it.  Wet epilation requires submerging the machine and skin underwater during use. Dry epilation requires clean, dry skin. Multiple passes and directions may be used to achieve best results by removing the most hair (not all hair grows in the same direction). If irritation occurs, apply an astringent/analgesics (such as Tend Skin) and follow up with lotion to soften and soothe skin.  Redness may appear for the first 24 hours following epilation. Plan to perform hair removal at least a day before scheduled events. Tweezing the hair can be very time consuming, especially if on a larger body part, however it is very effective in reducing and stopping hair growth on your face. Pulling hair out individually ensures that you are pulling the hair out from the root. While it can be painful, it is also the cheapest form of hair removal. You can't shave or 'wax' your eyebrows. Most people use a pair of tweezers to pull all the hairs out individually. Use a bright light to see all your eyebrow hairs.

TL;DR in English: Consider epilating. Pull your skin taut. Move the epilator across the skin in the direction opposite hair growth. Use tweezers for small areas of body hair. Pluck your eyebrows with tweezers.

It can be too easy to discard old friendships in favor of your husband. But both partners in a marriage need to continue to cultivate and maintain friendships beyond the  one you share together. Friends are an important outlet for confiding in, for boosting your confidence, and for the ability to say things without reprisal. Don't give that up. Think about whether you have been spending more time with your friends than with him. He might be upset because you do have a better relationship with your friends than you do with him and share more of yourself with longtime friends than with your husband. Try to approach the issue from his perspective. He may be feeling threatened by the closeness you seem to experience with your friends. Reassure him that your friends not taking his place but are another source of balance in your life.Ask yourself if anything has changed in your situation. Have you or your husband changed jobs? Have you moved? How is your life different than an earlier time when your husband might not have felt so jealous? Think about how life changes affect both you and your partner.  "I know you’ve been feeling upset about all the time I spend with my friends, but you knew I had close friends when you married me. They aren’t you -- they’re just another link to my college years.” "Why do you think you’re getting so upset about the time I spend with my friends? I love to spend time with you, but my time with them is special, too. They have supported me through so much.” "Do you want to come out with me and my buddies and see what we do? I haven’t invited you because I thought you wouldn’t like it, but I’m happy to have you come so you can see you’re not missing out.” If your husband is newly jealous of you and your friends, you need to find out why. If nothing for you has changed, what is going on in his life that might have caused this?  "It never used to bother you when I went out on Thursdays. What happened?” "I’m worried about you being jealous of me going out with my friends. You always told me...

TL;DR in English: Accept the need for your friendships. Explore the balance between your husband and your friends. Talk to your husband openly and honestly. Discuss the underlying issues. Ask your husband for his ideas. Schedule time with care.

The set up establishes the premise of the story by providing your audience with the necessary background information and details. Your set up should be as tight and to the point as possible. It should focus on one theme or idea, as you want the story to be brief, but entertaining and easy to understand. The punchline or laugh line is the heart of the story. It should lead the audience in one direction and then surprise them by suddenly escalating into a more interesting climax or going off into a completely different direction than was suggested by the set up.  A twist in the story, or element of surprise, usually makes for a good punchline. Determining your punchline will help you pair down any extra details and tailor the set up so it works up to a big laugh. Read your first draft of the story out loud to determine which points are funny and which points in the set up could be tightened or edited out.  Remove any extraneous words and only use adjectives when necessary. If you do use adjectives, make them interesting and attention grabbing; don’t use “big” when you could use “hulking” “gigantic” or “astronomical”. Watch your body language as you tell the story. You should be relaxed, friendly, and appear confident.  If you are telling a story with different characters, alter and vary your voice to match a character as they talk. Avoid being monotone or mumbling in a low voice. Try to tell the story like you are telling it to a good friend. Don’t be too formal or stiff. It’s important to appear like you believe in the story you are telling. Make it your own and make it believable to your listener. Pause before the punchline to signal to the listener that they should pay attention. This will ensure they hear the punchline and hopefully, be ready for a big laugh. Once you have practiced the story a few times, you may start to get comfortable with the material and start to add tags, or additional punchlines.  Your tags may build on the original punchline, or they may twist the punchline further into a new,...

TL;DR in English: Determine your set up. Figure out your punchline. Write the story down. Practice telling the story in the mirror. Add tags to the story.

Turtwig evolves into Torterra, which is good at attack and defense but horrible at its special attack. However, it can learn Dark-type moves like Bite and Crunch, which could save one of your Pokémon slots as you do not need a Dark-type. Chimchar evolves into Infernape which is a decent Pokémon. Piplup evolves into Empoleon which is a Steel and Water-type. A good mixture of types as being a Water-type, Fire-type moves would not be super effective even though it is a Steel-type. Do not use an HM and ruin a Pokémon with a good moveset. Instead get another Pokémon that is pretty much useless to be an "HM slave". It is recommended that you choose Bidoof, which evolves into Bibarel, as it can learn most of the HM except Fly and Rock Climb. 65-70 so you can get pass the Elite Four much easier.

If you find mature termites, there are probably larvae somewhere in the colony. While there are a few different types of adult termite, you can typically identify them by their pale, soft bodies. Worker and nymph termites look like larger versions of the larvae while soldiers have a dark, hardened head. Only the reproductive termites that lay eggs have wings. While you may need a professional exterminator to find most termites, you can do a basic check inspection to see if you can notice any signs of infestation. Start by inspecting window sills, window and door frames, support beams, and places where concrete structures join wooden ones. You should also check in the basement, in crawl spaces, under the porch, and anywhere that moisture is present. Use a flashlight to peer into cracks and dark spaces. Note that termites often live deep within the walls, and they can infest a home for years without being noticed. Just because there are no external signs of termites does not mean that you do not have them. Using a screwdriver, gently tap the wood or surface of a wall. Listen for any hollow or rustling noises coming from inside the wood. This may indicate that there is something living inside the wood. Termites may build mud tubes to travel between areas of their colony. These may look like branches or lines of mud crawling up the wall or foundation. You can break a tube open to see if there are any termites inside. Note that if a tube is empty, it may still mean that there are termites elsewhere in the building. Termites can live deep within a structure, and they often keep their larvae within the most protected parts of their nest. To measure the extent of the problem, you should consult with a professional pest control company. They will be able to tell you if you have termites or another pest. They can also identify the larvae for you.  Contract a reputable company and explore a liquid barrier treatment or the installation of termite bait stations. If there are any areas where moisture is building up, they...

TL;DR in English: Identify adult termites. Inspect areas where termites live. Listen to the walls. Break open mud tubes. Hire an exterminator.

A heat rash is a rash or irritation of the skin that usually accompanies excessive sweating. If you're prone to sweating, you may experience a heat rash in any climate, though hot and/or humid weather is more likely to cause a heat rash in some individuals. Heat rash typically looks like a cluster of red pimples or a series of small blisters, and it most commonly afflicts the neck, upper chest, groin, the undersides of breasts, and the creases of elbows.  Avoid tight-fitting clothing if you believe you might be prone to heat rash. Instead, opt for loose-fitting clothes that are appropriate for the environment you're in.  If you experience heat rash, it's important to keep your skin clean and cool. Bathe or shower in cool or cold water using a soap that won't dry out your skin. When you get out of the bath/shower, let your skin air-dry instead of using a towel.  You can treat heat rash with over-the-counter ointments and creams like calamine lotion and anhydrous lanolin. In severe cases, a doctor might recommend topical steroids. Heat cramps are usually marked by sudden pains or spasms in the muscles. Heat cramps typically affect the abdomen, arms, or legs, and they usually affect individuals who are prone to excessive sweating. As soon as you recognize heat cramps coming on, you should discontinue all physical activity and drink cool beverages, preferably in a cool, shaded place. With proper treatment, heat cramps usually subside within an hour. If you experience heat cramps lasting longer than one hour, seek medical help as soon as possible. Heat exhaustion occurs when your body loses too much water and salt in the form of sweat. You may not have an abnormal body temperature during heat exhaustion, but it is usually marked by excessive and heavy sweating. Getting to a cool, shaded environment and drinking cool beverages (ideally water with an electrolyte supplement) can usually reduce the symptoms of heat exhaustion; however, you should seek medical assistance if any of the following symptoms worsen or last...

TL;DR in English: Treat a heat rash. Recover from heat cramps. Identify and treat heat exhaustion. Learn the signs of heat stroke.

In almost all circumstances, it is in a wild bird's best interest to be raised by its parents. Being raised by humans has numerous disadvantages for the bird, especially if you intend on releasing it back into the wild, so be sure not to intervene unless necessary.  A bird that is raised by humans will miss out on important social interactions with other birds, and may not be able to pick up everything it missed. A bird that is raised by humans will not learn many of the survival skills its parents would have taught it, such as how to find food or how to spot a predator. This will decrease the bird's chances of being able to survive in the wild. A bird raised by humans is likely to exhibit no fear of humans, which could get it into trouble with people who are not familiar with the bird. Whenever you find a baby bird, you should determine whether it is injured. If so, contact a veterinarian or wildlife rehabilitator right away. Signs of injury include bleeding, wings that are drooping or twerked up, an inability to flutter its wings, shivering, and falling over.  It is fine to handle the baby bird. It is not true that its parents will reject it if it has been handled by humans. Be sure to always wash your hands before and after handling a bird.  If the bird was in another animal's mouth (like your cat or dog), you should assume that it is injured and get medical help for it. It may need antibiotics to protect it against dangerous bacteria acquired from the other animal, even if its skin isn't broken.  Do not assume that a bird is injured just because it can't fly or seems slightly clumsy. Birds typically leave their nests before the are completely able to fly. This is a normal part of the learning experience for them. If you have determined that the bird is not injured, the next step is to determine whether it is a fledgling, which means it is learning to fly, or a nestling, which means it should still be in its nest.  Fledglings may not be able to fly, but they should be able to grip firmly on your finger or...

TL;DR in English: Understand what's best for the bird. Check for injuries. Determine if it is a nestling or fledgling. Return nestlings to the nest. Remove fledglings from immediate danger. Keep an eye on it.

What activities are safe and beneficial for you will depend on what illness you’ve recovered from and what your health status is. If you’re getting back to working out after an extensive knee surgery but are otherwise healthy, you’ll want to do different activities than if you’ve been bedridden for 6 months. When in doubt, ask your doctor what your limitations should be. The range of motion of a joint is how far in what directions a joint can move, and this should sometimes be limited after surgery. For instance, after shoulder surgery your doctor or physical therapist may advise you that you need to avoid reaching overhead until you’re healed. Be sure you understand what movements are safe for you to do before you start exercising. Swimming is a non-weight bearing cardiovascular exercise – in other words, it gets your heart rate up for a good workout without putting stress on your joints. If you’re recovering from knee, hip, or shoulder surgery, swimming can be a great way to start. Swimming and aqua aerobics are also beneficial exercises if you have arthritis or problems with balance like after a stroke. For painful joints, also do isometric exercises of the surrounding muscles. Isometric exercises are those that tighten and release the muscle, which makes it stronger. For instance, if your knee is weak or painful, work to strengthen your quadriceps muscles. The American Cancer Society recommends that those living disease-free or with stable disease exercise regularly. Numerous studies have shown that exercise not only improves wellbeing, mental health, strength, and physical wellness, it may decrease recurrence rates in some types of cancer. Make a goal to exercise for 150 minutes each week or longer, and do strength training 2 days each week.  Always consult your doctor or care team before starting an exercise program. Cancer survivors have some specific needs and limitations during exercise. For instance, chlorinated pools may irritate skin if you’ve had radiation therapy, using heavy weights may be...

Talk to them. Gently shake the person. Make a loud noise.

Your husband may start being subtly passive aggressive without him even noticing it. The trick is to pick up on the behaviors before things spiral out of control. You may notice him slipping in his responsibilities ever so slightly, procrastinating more than usual, or finding excuses for things. When you notice these signs, you can disengage from the conflict before more overt passive aggression comes forth. While your first reaction may be to nag him or explode on him for his behavior, resist the urge to do so. You may turn into a parent role, which won’t go well for you or your husband. It’s unlikely you want to parent your husband, and it’s unlikely he wants to be placed in the child role in your marriage. If you feel yourself about to react, stop yourself and take a moment. Think about the way you feel and what thoughts are going through your head. Take a deep breath before saying anything. Don’t play his game. If you start in on the passive aggressiveness, then you will cycle the behavior until both of you are utterly unhappy. Instead, approach him in saying, “We have a problem that we need to work through.” If he is chronically late, say, “We have a difficulty getting out of the house in time when we have places to be. What do you think would be helpful in ensuring we get places on time?” Maybe his lines used to work in guilting you or accepting blame, but put an end to it. Don’t let these tactics work on you any longer. If he says, “I’m not mad” but clearly is, make a request for him to be honest with you and share how he is feeling. If he says, “I was only joking”, make sure you communicate that those kind of jokes are disrespectful and not appreciated. If he says, “Why are you so mad?” Communicate clearly that his behavior is upsetting. “When you don’t communicate with me, it’s really frustrating. I’d like to know what’s going on that feels challenging to you.”

TL;DR in English: Notice the warning signs. Avoid escalating the conflict. Be assertive. Stand firm.

Conversations are like plants, you have to water them or they'll just shrivel up and die. You need to give something for a girl to respond to in a conversation, or the conversation will die. When you respond to something she has said, avoid lame replies, single-word answers, and you'll keep the conversation going.  If she asks, "What's up?" don't say, "Nothing" or "Just chilling." Be specific and give her the light-hearted details: "Helping my dad comb through ten years of strange auto-parts in the garage. We are the automotive Indiana Jones of the block. You?" If she says something funny, it's ok to write a quick "ha" or "lol" if you must, but it's a lot better to actually respond to what she says. If she sends you a hilarious picture of a bulldog on a waterslide, laugh at it, but then say, "Current mood?" or "That dog is my spirit animal" or "I suddenly feel so close to you." Even if she doesn't ask you a question directly, or say something that's pretty interesting, try to respond in a specific way to reignite the conversation. Keep following up to keep her at ease and talking. Let her talk about herself and be a good "listener" while you talk via text.  If she says, "School was so boring today" don't just let it drop, follow up. Say, "What was the most boring thing?" or "But what was the most EXCITING thing that happened in your boring day?" Get her talking by asking questions. If she's being really closed, just saying, "lol" or something to that effect, it may be better to just end the conversation instead of doing all the work yourself. She might be distracted, or just not that into talking right now. Don't get upset, just talk later. Some studies show that we're actually attracted to gentle teasing, because it creates a kind of electric energy in the conversation. If you want to inject a little tension into your texting conversations, teasing her just a little (be nice now) can make your texts a little more thrilling. If she just put up a bunch of selfies on Facebook, text her: "Scrolling through all...

TL;DR in English: Give her something to respond to. Respond to things she says. Tease her to flirt. Keep it light.

When you have to bury a loved one, there are many choices that you have to make. Picking the right stone is an important decision. Take some time to think about the stone that is right for the situation.  First, choice the type of marker you want. You can look for upright, flat, or obelisk markers. Choose your material. Markers come in a variety of materials, such as marble, sandstone, and granite. Granite is cost effective and very sturdy. Talk to the cemetery. Check the regulations about size and type of marker before you make a purchase. There may be guidelines you need to follow. Gravestones do not require regular cleaning. Although it might seem natural to want to frequently clean the stone, resist the urge. Instead, you should clean the stone approximately 18-24 months. Some will require even less frequent cleanings.  Write down the date each time you clean the stone. This will help you prevent over cleaning. Talk to the cemetery about maintenance plans. Some sites may offer service plans. They will take care of the cleaning for you. In addition to properly maintaining the gravestone, there are other ways that you can honor your loved one. Consider decorating the grave site. Doing so can help you feel connected to the departed.  You can leave flowers near the headstone. This is especially nice to do on holidays, anniversaries, or birthdays. You can also leave small mementos at the burial site. For example, a baseball for a sports fan. Ask the cemetery for a list of regulations. Some materials may not be allowed to be left behind.

TL;DR in English: Choose the right stone. Keep a record. Decorate the area.

Someone who is asleep will respond to stimuli. One way to determine if someone is sleeping is by talking to them. Kneel or bend next to the person and gently say their name, tell them to open their eyes, or ask them if they are all right. Repeat this for five minutes or until the person wakes up. For example, “Jim, are you awake? If you can hear me, open your eyes. Jim?” Place your hand on their shoulder and gently shake them. You can do this in combination with saying their name or asking if they are awake. Do not shake them aggressively, shake their head, slap, or flick their face. You can also try gently rubbing their cheek or head/forehead to wake the person up. Turning on the radio or TV, closing the door, loudly tapping on something, or playing an instrument may prompt someone to wake up, as well. However, do not play or make loud noises too close to the person’s ear. This may startle the person or cause damage to their hearing.

TL;DR in English:
