A variety of factors can contribute to the development of acne around the chin. Examine your own lifestyle to look for the culprit of your breakouts. If certain habits can be identified as the cause, they can altered or eliminated to lessen the severity of breakouts.  Are you a heavy make-up user? Greasy or heavily applied make-up can clog pores and have been known to cause breakouts. Applying less make-up or switching to a more natural brand or one that is labeled "oil-free" or "noncomedogenic," can lessen chin acne.  When you work out, do you shower immediately afterwards? Delaying showering after a work out allows any oils, dirt, and make-up on your skin to mix with sweat. These debris settle in your pores, causing a break out. Always at least wash your face after a work-out and, if you shower, pay special attention to rinsing the sweat from your face. If possible, remove your make-up before you exercise.  Are you a smoker? Some studies indicate a correlation between smoking and acne. As smoking increases the risk for a wide array of health problems in addition to acne, it might be best to ditch the nicotine altogether.  What is your diet like? A diet that's high in empty carbs, processed sugar, and dairy products is correlated with increased risk for acne. Eating healthier can have a variety of positive benefits, including reducing your acne. Your acne might not be a simple matter of your lifestyle. Acne can be caused by underlying medical problems. If you can't identify a habit of yours that could be causing your acne, see a doctor to check for medical problems.  Hormones are often to blame for excessive chin acne. A doctor or dermatologist can do blood work to detect any hormonal imbalances that may be to blame for your acne and prescribe medications such as antibiotics or medications that restore hormone balance.  In women, excessive facial acne is sometimes the result of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. This increases testosterone in the ovaries, causing acne. A gynecologist can help diagnose POS and offer...

For branches that are up to 1.5 in (3.8 cm) thick, use common hand-held pruning shears. In the unlikely event that you have branches larger than that, use a narrow-bladed saw. Mix a solution of 1 part rubbing alcohol to 1 part water. Dip the blades into the solution, or apply it to a clean rag and wipe down the blades. However, if it's been awhile since you've used your shears, let the blades soak in the solution for 10 minutes or so. Then let your shears air dry.  You can also use a solution of 1 part bleach to 9 parts water. Wipe down the blades after cutting any diseased or infected branches, and when moving from one plant to another. If you don't disinfect your shears, you could accidentally transfer any insects or disease from one branch (or plant) to another. Stand far enough away from your gardenia bush that you can see the whole thing in comparison to the area around it. Then decide what size and shape you'd like the bush to be. Once you begin pruning, step back frequently to check to make sure you're maintaining the size and shape you want. This angle will help you cut through the branches easily. It also prevents you from damaging the main branches of the bush if you get too close. Cutting the oldest, thickest branches will allow space for new growth. Depending on how overgrown your gardenia bush is, you might want to trim out more than half of the oldest branches. The oldest branches tend to be the darkest shade of brown and the thickest. After you've thinned out the oldest branches, trim the remaining branches. As you're trimming the branches, make sure you make cuts above a stem branch or leaf node to encourage new growth there. The stem branch is where thinner stems branch off of thicker limbs. The leaf node is the bulge at the end of the leaf stem at the branch. In addition to pruning your gardenia bush to maintain its shape and size, you can prune to encourage growth in certain areas. If you prune back the bottom of the gardenia bush beyond the excess growth – up to a few inches – that area...

TL;DR in English: Use standard pruning shears when trimming gardenias. Disinfect your shears (and saw, if needed) before using them. Step back to determine the size and shape of your gardenia bush. Hold the pruning shears at a 45-degree angle to the branch. Cut away half of the oldest branches at the trunk. Trim the remaining branches down to your desired height and shape. Prune most where you want to encourage growth.

Using your trowel, apply a base coat of plaster.  Using small strokes, spread your plaster as thinly as possible. Apply using random strokes, or work in patterns, just don't spread it all in the same direction.  Hold the trowel at a 15 to 30-degree angle, and wipe it often with a clean, dry cloth to prevent dried bits of plaster from affecting your pattern.  It is a good idea to start at the top, in a corner. To get plaster into tight spots, such as in a corner or along molding, simply apply the plaster with your finger using latex gloves. Then, immediately wipe away any plaster that gets on surfaces you are not plastering. If using traditional Venetian plaster, hang tarps over your surface so that it will dry slowly and evenly. Otherwise, it may crack. If using synthetic plaster, apply the second coat about four hours after applying the first coat. If using lime-based plaster, some experts recommend waiting as long as ten days between coats.  Start in the same place you began applying the first coat. Hold the trowel at a 30 to 60-degree angle, and apply your plaster in long and short overlapping strokes to get the irregular look the final finish should have.  If you unsatisfied with the final product after applying the second coat, you may apply a third coat if you wish. If you are lime-based plaster, it is at this stage that you add a tinted topcoat of lime dust, linseed oil, soap, and a coloring agent. All plaster should be completely dry before you proceed any further. As before, if using lime-based plaster, hang tarps to make the drying process more even and gradual. Go over the final coat it in a circular motion with a clean trowel, held at a 30-degree angle to give it a polished look. The more you burnish your plaster, the shinier it will become.  For synthetic plaster, you can also burnish with 400-600 grit sandpaper if you prefer. This will provide a more matte-like finish.  Synthetic plasters can be burnished any time between about four hours and seven days after the last coat has been applied. To...

TL;DR in English: Apply the first coat. Apply the second coat. Let it dry. Burnish the surface. Apply a topcoat.

Glowing up happens from the inside out and water is the key to helping you look and feel your best every day. Buy a reusable drink bottle and keep it filled up with fresh water at all times. Carry it with you wherever you go to remind yourself to stay hydrated!   1⁄2 US gal (1.9 L) of water is just an approximate figure, as the ideal amount of water differs from person to person. Drink the amount of water that helps you to feel your best and visit a doctor or a dietitian if you have any concerns. If you aren’t the biggest fan of plain water, you can always make infused water using your favorite produce to give it a bit more flavor. Try strawberries, cucumber, oranges, or mint! Remembering to drink more water can be difficult when you first start. Try setting a reminder on your phone or putting a note on the fridge. Alternatively, you can also download smartphone apps that track your water intake and give you friendly reminders. A bright, happy smile is a massive part of the glow up transformation! Brush your teeth every morning and night, and remember to floss your teeth each day too. Visit a dentist once a year for an annual checkup to keep your teeth healthy and strong! You can also use teeth-whitening products to help your smile dazzle. How you fuel your body can make a huge difference to your glow up. Each 5-9 servings of fruit and vegetables per day, and plenty of lean protein, whole-grains, and healthy fats. Remember that everything in moderation is the best way to go, so limit your intake of processed foods but treat yourself occasionally too.  Visit a doctor or a dietician if you have any concerns about your diet. Avoid skipping meals or following fad diets, as these practices won’t help you to look and feel your best. Exercise helps you to look and feel your best, in both your body and mind! Find a type of exercise that you enjoy, such as swimming, running, or yoga. Aim to exercise 3-5 times per week, unless you have been instructed otherwise by a health professional. You can also exercise with...

Sweep the textured porcelain tiles in two directions. This will better remove any dirt or debris in the texture of the tiles. Start by brushing in the direction or texture of the tile. Then, sweep diagonally across the tile to remove any dirt or debris. Once the floor has been swept, you can saturate it by mopping the floor with a mild cleaning solution. Combine the cleaning solution with hot water. Mop the floor and then allow the cleaning solution to sit on the floor for five to ten minutes. Textured porcelain requires more maintenance than other types of porcelain and you will need to clean it more frequently to keep it looking good. To maintain the textured tiles, you should try to mop and scrub the floor daily, especially if it is walked on constantly throughout the day. Once the cleaning solution has been on the floor for ten minutes, you can use a soft nylon brush to scrub at any dark spots or stains on the floor. You can also use an old toothbrush to scrub the floor. Use the same two direction method that you used for sweeping the floor. Start by scrubbing the floor following the direction of the textured tile. Then, scrub in the opposite direction of the texture on the tile. Do not let the cleaning solution sit on the floor and dry, as it can damage the floor. Make sure you rinse off the cleaning solution with clean, clear water.  You can then dry the floor with a clean microfiber cloth. Check that there are no water spots or puddles on the floor. You can also open windows in the room and turn on a fan to dry the floor more quickly.

TL;DR in English: Start by sweeping the floor with a soft-bristled broom. Mop the floor with a mild cleaning solution. Scrub the floor with a soft, nylon brush. Rinse the floor with clean water.

Take one of the 16.5 cm by 16.5 cm pieces. This is one of the sides of the dresser. You will need to mark this piece so that you know where to glue the shelves. Use your ruler and pencil to mark where each shelf will need to be placed. Leave exactly 3.6 centimeters between the shelves so that the drawers will fit well. Place the first shelf about two centimeters from the edge. Use the hot glue gun to apply glue to the long skinny edge of one side of a shelf (one of the 16.5 cm by 10 cm pieces). Then, press the edge of the shelf onto the dresser side. Repeat this process until you only have one 16.5 cm by 10 cm piece left. Do not glue the last 16.5 cm by 10 cm piece onto the dresser side. This last piece will be the back of your dresser. Next, apply white school glue to the long, skinny edges of the shelf that you just secured onto the shelf side. Then, take your other 16.5 cm by 16.5 cm piece and press it into place over these shelves.  Your dresser should now look like a tiny bookshelf without a back. Wait for five minutes before you attach the back. The white school glue needs to dry first. Next, apply white school glue to the long, skinny edges of the shelves and sides on one side of the dresser. Then apply the last 16.5 cm by 10 cm piece to this side. Make sure that the edges are all well-aligned and press on the piece for a couple of minutes to make sure that it is secured. Wait for at least five minutes before you do anything else with this piece.

TL;DR in English: Mark the dresser side piece. Glue the shelves in place. Secure the other side. Attach the back.

If the mouse is connected by a wire, you'll need to power down your computer first. Wired mice usually connect to the monitor of an all-in-one desktop computer or the central processing unit (CPU) of a traditional desktop computer. If the mouse is wireless, simply remove the USB component from the computer. Different brands have battery compartments in different locations. You can access many brands' compartments on the bottom of the mouse. Look for a small switch to open the compartment and remove the batteries. With other brands, you'll have to pop the top side of the mouse open to reveal the battery compartment. This step only applies to wireless mice. If you have a traditional mouse, you can skip this step. Apply a small amount of water. Wring out any excess moisture. Avoid getting the cloth dripping wet. Use the dampened cloth to remove any dirt or grime. Move back and forth over the target areas until the dirt is gone. Try to keep the cloth away from the openings in the mouse. Use a dry microfiber cloth to absorb any moisture left over from the cleaning. Move in gentle strokes. Continue until the outside of the mouse is completely dry. Spin the scroll wheel under a bright light. Look for any buildup of dirt or grime. Gently insert a toothpick between the scroll wheel and the slot it rests in. Being careful not to break the toothpick, scrape outward to remove the buildup. Wipe away any excess that falls on the outside of the mouse. You could use your fingernails instead of a toothpick. As long as they extend slightly past your fingertip, they should remove quite a bit of buildup. Recall where your battery cover is located on your mouse and open it. When you replace the batteries, pay attention to placement of the + and – symbols in the battery compartment. This tells you how the positive and negative ends of the batteries should be aligned. Place the USB of a wireless mouse back in the computer port. For a wired mouse, reattach it to the CPU or monitor. The correct port should have a small engraved image...

New guidelines were put into place in 2010 dividing the regulation of students. The Degree Programme refers to full-time enrollment in a program that will lead to anything from a bachelor's degree to a Doctorate degree. The Language and Non-Degree Programme refers to full-time enrollment in an English Language Course or a Further Education course.  Make sure that you meet the qualifications under the specific educational programme. These can be found through the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service. The list of countries whose citizens are not required to obtain a visa includes the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, most European countries, and others. You can find more information from the Irish Naturalization and Immigration Service at http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Check%20if%20you%20need%20a%20Visa  If you need a visa, apply for your visa at an Irish Embassy or Consulate. This visa allows you to seek entry to Ireland, it does not guarantee it.  If you need a visa, apply for your visa at an Irish Embassy or Consulate. This visa will allow you only to seek entry to Ireland, it does not guarantee it. If you are successfully enrolled in an Irish university on a Degree Programme or a Language and Non-Degree Program, and you have your visa if you require one, you may travel to Ireland. Once there, you must register for residency with the Garda National Immigration Bureau within 90 days.  This must be done in person.The Immigration officer and Garda station can be found in Burgh Quay for those residing in Dublin. Those outside of Dublin should contact their local Garda station to locate the local Immigration Registration Officer.  If you're a non-EEA national, you will be issued a GNIB (Garda National Immigration Bureau) card when you register. There is a €300 fee. This can be waived for spouses of Irish citizens, those under 18, and refugees.

Many professionals, including theatre companies, often use a special kind of wax, called nose wax or scar wax, to give the appearance of a cut or wound when needed. The following supplies can be found at most costume shops or online costume supply providers:  Makeup (scar color) Nose wax/scar wax Spirit gum Spirit gum remover Wax applicator (Popsicle stick, palette knife, etc.) Any oil, dirt, or grime on your face can make your wax bond imperfectly to your face. To prevent your scar wax from peeling off or coming loose over the course of your activities, use mild soap and water to make sure the place you will be applying your wax scar is clean. Be sure that you verify the ingredients used in your scar-making products to prevent an allergic reaction. If you have sensitive skin, you should test a small amount of your products somewhere on your body before applying your scar. Movement of your body causes your skin to bunch and fold, which will put stress on your scar makeup while you are in costume. Bony areas, like the nose, chin, cheekbones, and forehead, are more likely to keep still and leave your scar looking pristine. Some scar wax may be sticky enough, and the part of your body stationary enough, that you won't need to add adhesive to keep it stuck. Even if you don't think your scar is in danger of being knocked loose, using a little spirit gum to the back of your scar will help keep it in place for a few hours, in most cases. Apply your adhesive to the area of your body the scar will cover, leaving it slightly tacky. Depending on the brand you have purchased, there may be some small differences in wax consistency, but scar wax is often thick, much like a putty. It can be sold in tubes, which can be squeezed to dispense your wax, or tubs, which you will have to scrape/scoop with your applicator.  Professionals often break off a small piece of wax to work with at first, adding more as necessary. As this kind of wax can be quite sticky, you may want to cover your applicator and fingers with a little mineral...

Clematis that bloom in very late spring and early summer should be pruned before they blossom. This type of clematis include most large-flower types. These sort of clematis produce so many buds that they need to be cut back so that most of the flowers have a chance to bloom. Types that fall under this category include Henryi and Nelly Moser. To prune this sort of clematis, you will have to locate the healthy buds. They should be about a third of the way down from the top of the plant. Once you have located the buds, use pruning or garden shears to cut the vine just above the buds, removing the top part of the plant and keeping the buds intact. The reason for doing this would be to delay heavy blooming until the later summer (in case you are going to be gone for the early summer and want to see your clematis bloom). See Method Three for how to prune in this way.

TL;DR in English: Know which clematis should be pruned before blooming. Prune your clematis in the early spring. Consider pruning this type of clematis as you would a late summer clematis.

A significant number of people wear shoes that don't fit well, perhaps because the shoes were on sale or they're hand-me-downs, or various other reasons. Regardless, always wear shoes that properly fit your feet, not just in terms of length, but also in terms of width. Wearing shoes that don't fit not only cause blisters, bunions and calluses, but they can reduce the stability and compromise the biomechanics of your feet and subsequently trigger back pain and other joint issues.  Get fitted for shoes later in the day because that's when your feet are a little larger, usually due to swelling and slight compression of your arches. Most off-the-shelf shoes are regular (medium) width, so you may have to order shoes from the manufacturer if your feet are really narrow or wide. Some footwear may fit well, such as flip-flops, but they can still cause foot and other musculoskeletal problems due to the lack of arch and heel support. Regardless if you have flat feet or not, wearing shoes with strong arch support is going to benefit your feet and improve your gait during walking / running at the very least. Wearing more supportive shoes may also significantly reduce your back pain or relieve the symptoms entirely, depending on its cause. As such, when buying new shoes, look for a comfortable walking or athletic shoe with substantial arch support, roomy toe box, firm heel counter and a flexible sole. Buy quality and avoid trendy styles that look flimsy.  Wearing flat sandals, flip flops and other slip-ons on the beach or around the pool is likely okay, but they shouldn't be used for extensive walking or any kind of exercise.  Avoid shoes with heels higher than two inches because it changes the center of gravity and causes strain on the lower back. However, wearing completely level shoes may put too much pressure on your heels, so consider buying shoes that are elevated in the heel by about 1/4 or 1/2 inch. If you are a regular jogger and think that your feet, shoes or running style may be causing your back pain, then get...

One of the best ways to do this is to look at the color of the berries. Depending on where your berries grow, their colors can range from light, but vibrant, red to a very dark crimson color. They should also be firm to the touch. These berries are the ones that make it into the fresh produce section of your grocery store. They are best used for cooking and baking. While this may sound strange, a great way to sort the best berries from the not as great ones is to bounce them. Quality berries are firm and springy--meaning they bounce off the ground nicely. They bounce because of the air bubbles inside the berries. Don’t throw them as hard as you can at the floor, but a simple drop against a flat surface should be enough to tell you whether or not your berries have the bounce. You can either use the fresh ones in a recipe, or freeze them for later use. You might also consider  drying some of the cranberries for a delicious snack. Fresh, bouncy cranberries will last for up to two months in the refrigerator.

TL;DR in English: Sort the berries for qualities. Bounce the berries. Keep the bouncy berries and discard the rest.

Decide how many people you can comfortably host in your home. Then, write down your closest friends and family members first. If you have space, include friends you don’t see often and any coworkers you socialize with outside of work. You may want to invite a few more people than you plan on hosting, since some people might not be able to come. For instance, if you’d like to have about 20 guests, you might invite 25-30. For an easy option, send an e-vite or create a Facebook event for your party. This will allow you to invite everyone at one time. As another option, you might text all of your guests to see if they can come. Ask your guests to RSVP so you can get a head count. If you’re asking guests to bring any food or drinks, tell them this in the invitation. You might say, “Please bring a snack or drink to share.” Grocery stores are going to be packed on game day, so don’t wait until the last minute to go shopping.

If you’re going into a chigger hot spot or any area with tall vegetation, prevent chiggers from attaching to you by concealing as much skin as possible. Wear long sleeves, long pants, long socks, and tall boots. Opt for tightly-woven fabrics over airy, loosely-woven ones. Chiggers are small enough to find their way in between the gaps present between threads of loosely-woven fabrics, but they will have a significantly harder time finding their way through clothes with smaller gaps. Chiggers can find their way to your skin by hopping onto your clothes and crawling underneath. To get rid of them before this happens, seal off any openings to your skin as best as possible. Focus especially on areas from the waist down, since chiggers often move from tall grass to your lower body.  Tuck your socks into your pants or your pant legs into your socks, sealing off the gap of skin between them. Tuck your shirt into your pants. Chiggers like to nibble on areas with thinner skin, such as the genitals—ouch! If venturing into tall grass or weeds, tie off your sleeves around the wrists with rubber bands or ribbon. When possible, wear clothes with zippers rather than buttons. Certain strong odors, including sulfur powder, are reputedly effective at driving chiggers away. Sprinkle a fine dusting of sulfur powder into your shoes and/or socks to drive off any chiggers lurking in the grass and weeds by your feet.  For even better protection, consider sprinkling a light dusting of sulfur powder over the inside of your shirt and pants. Note that sulfur powder has a potent odor, which may make it a less than ideal solution if you have a particularly sensitive sense of smell. There’s also not much reliable evidence to prove that this method really works. DEET is one of the most effective bug repellents for use against chiggers and other mites. Apply the repellent to your exposed skin, especially on the hands, arms, and legs. You can also apply it to your clothing (but not your skin underneath clothing) in these areas.  DEET...

Start by mixing the baking soda and water together with a spoon until it forms a paste.  If the baking soda is still too powdery, add a little more water. Don't dump in so much that the mixture is mostly liquid. This won't stay on your hands and the smell will remain. Scrub your hands and get the mixture in all the places the fish touched. This allows the baking soda to neutralize the odors from the fish. Remember to scrub between your fingers and the backs of your hands as well. Then let the paste sit on your hands for about a minute. Scrub well so you get rid of all the remaining scales and remnants of the fish. Any particles left behind might still smell. When you’ve scrubbed your hands with the baking soda paste, rinse your hands under the faucet. This should remove any remaining baking soda residue as well as the fish odor. If your hands still feel sticky or there is baking soda residue on them, wash your hands normally with soap and water.

TL;DR in English: Pour 2 tbsp (28.6 g) of baking soda into a bowl and add  1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of water. Rub the paste all over your hands. Rinse your hands with water.

Having a variety of sizes will give you a pumpkin family! Make sure they're clean if you had them laying around the house. You want them very orange to simulate pumpkins. If you don't have craft paper, use scrapbook paper, card, or wrapping paper. Anything that's bendy and colorful will work. Make arched evil eyebrows, a handlebar mustache, surprised eyes, or any detail that you'd like your pumpkin pots to have. The simpler your face, the more it will look like a jack-o-lantern. Give it a toothy grin, a triangular nose, and triangular eyes to make it look more pumpkin-esque. You only need a layer on the side you'll place the face for right now. Use a sponge brush or paint brush for best results. A thin, but even layer is ideal. Press them firmly into place. Then, apply a thin layer of the sticky stuff all over the pot, effectively weather-proofing it. When we say stick, we mean stick. Go outside under a tree and find a stick to fit through the bottom of your terra cotta pot. And there it is -- a pumpkin that won't rot in a week's time!

TL;DR in English: Purchase a few terra cotta pots. Cut the parts of a face out of yellow craft paper. Brush the surface of the pot with outdoor modge-podge. Apply the pieces of the face to the upside down pot. Insert a stick into the end for a stem.

Quitting cold turkey means deciding to quit smoking completely without the help of nicotine replacement therapy or drugs. This requires perseverance and independence. Only 3-10% of people have been able to successfully quit smoking cold turkey because of the drastic change this makes in their lives. Before you try quitting cold turkey, you should understand the advantages and disadvantages of the process.   Advantages:  If you have to quit because you have a serious health problem as a result of your smoking, quitting cold turkey will be the quickest way to improve your health or to keep it from further deteriorating. You will also be more motivated to do it on your own if you have a serious health risk. You may feel more pain, but you'll feel it for a shorter amount of time. Instead of spending months or even a year dealing with medication and nicotine therapy and slowly weaning your body off nicotine, you will be able to conquer your addiction more quickly if you do succeed.    Disadvantages:  You may experience intense and unpleasant withdrawal symptoms, such as depression, insomnia, irritability, and anxiety. You have less of a chance of success if you quit cold turkey than if you try to use a combination of other methods. Making a game plan will help you be more firm about your decision to quit and will make you more committed to the process. You should pick a day on your calendar for starting to quit and mark off every day that you have successfully gone without smoking. Pick a time of your week or month that will be the most stress-free, where you'll be less likely to break down and want a cigarette.  Know your triggers. Write down the triggers that lead you to smoking, whether it's drinking whisky, going to parties, or even listening to jazz. Decide how you can avoid them.  Keep reminding yourself why you want to quit. Once you start your plan, keep telling yourself that you want to quit for health reasons, for your family, and for your friends. You can even write a motivational note to yourself and...

Poke stud earrings into a long strip of ribbon to keep them together. Use a piece of plastic canvas to keep stud earrings together in a jewelry box or drawer. Make a simple earring organizer out of an egg carton.

Avoid forgetting any tasks or appointments by always writing it down in a work designated notepad. You can use a digital notepad or a pen and paper. Show your professionalism by taking notes during meetings to stay organized and on track. To communicate professionally, you need to show you can write and speak with confidence and clarity. Be an active listener during meetings and discussions and wait until someone is finished speaking to share your thoughts. Speak slowly and concisely so everyone can understand your points and make note of them.  Take care not to speak over someone else and apologize if you inadvertently interrupt someone. If you notice problems or issues around a certain project or client, speak up to your coworkers and your superiors. Don't ignore or avoid these conflicts. Instead, face them head on by alerting others to the issues and working together to try to problem solve. If the issue is sensitive, schedule a time to speak to your supervisor privately. Most workplaces encourage managing your time effectively by using email or a phone call to discuss minor decisions or issues. Avoid calling a meeting for topics that could be addressed in 5 minutes with a quick email exchange or phone call. Wasting other people's time with unnecessary meetings can be seen as unprofessional.  Research your question or issue before bringing it to everyone else's attention. Look through your emails or office memos to ensure you aren't missing information that has been disseminated. There may be an instance where you need to call a face to face meeting to discuss a major issue. If this is the case, send a meeting invitation by email to your coworkers and/or clients. Check your coworkers' calendars to ensure they are available during the proposed time. Another key way to demonstrate professionalism is to be willing to learn from feedback. Remember that good feedback should be about your work and your results. It should never be personal. Getting angry or defensive about feedback can make you appear...

Your ex will probably find reasons to contact you if they’re still interested. Check how often they call, text, or talk to you in person. Similarly, consider if they start the conversation back up after it has ended. This might be a sign they like you. For example, your ex might text you to ask questions they probably know the answer to. They might ask, “Do we have an assignment due tomorrow?” “Do you know if Candy’s party is still on Saturday?” or “I hope it’s okay that we’re both going to mini golf tomorrow.” If they start telling happy stories about your relationship, it means they’re thinking about good times. This is a sign that they might still like you. Listen when your ex starts talking about old times to see if they’re focusing on the good parts of your relationship. They might say, “Remember that time we had a candlelight picnic under the stars. That was such a good night,” or “I still remember how much we laughed at the improv theater. We had such good times together.” When you’re feeling upset, it’s natural for a person who cares about you to make sure you’re okay. Notice if your ex always seems to be there for you when you need someone. Additionally, consider if they’re willing to listen to you talk about your problems.  As an example, let’s say you post on social media that your relative is in the hospital. Your ex might immediately text, “Are you okay?” Keep in mind that this might not mean they like you in a romantic way. They might check up on you because they still care about you as a friend. Typically, you go to someone you trust when you need advice. Consider how often your ex relies on you for advice about their problems. If your ex consistently comes to you, this means they probably still feel close to you. It might even mean they still like you. For example, they might tell you about problems they’re having at work or school. Then, they might ask what you think they should do. Bringing up their mistakes means that they’re thinking about what they could have done differently. This may...

TL;DR in English: Track how often your ex reaches out to talk or text. Notice if your ex brings up nostalgic moments in your relationship. See if they check on you when you’re going through hard times. Notice if they come to you for advice. Pay attention if they start talking about their past mistakes.

They are actually meant for storing office supplies, but they work great for earrings! You will typically find them in the storage section or office supply section. If you'd like, you can line the bottom of each drawer with a piece of foam. This way, you can poke your earrings into the foam to keep them in place.   Choose a small one that is about 6 to 8 inches (15.24 to 20.32 centimeters) tall. Don't like the color? Pull the drawers out, and spray paint it! You can also decorate the box with glitter glue pens and/or pretty rhinestones. Store each type of earring in a different drawer. For example, you could keep all of your stud or post earrings in one drawer, and all of your hook earrings in another. This is a great option if you have lots of earrings. It won't work well for large, statement, or giant hoop earrings, but it's perfect for smaller earrings, including studs. You can keep the tray out on top of your dresser/counter, or you can store it in a drawer. This will work best for stud earrings, but it might also work for hook earrings. Also, buttons with two holes will work better than those with four. Once you have your earrings in the buttons, you can keep them in a box, dish, or drawer.  Avoid coat buttons or buttons that have a single loop in the back. This will work best for stud earrings, but it can also work for small hook earrings as well. Store each pair of earrings in each compartment. If you'd like, you can spray paint the box a different color, or decorate it with stickers. Use a thick, sturdy ribbon, such as grosgrain. It will last longer and will be less likely to tear or run. Something that is between 1 and 2 inches (2.54 and 5.08 centimeters) will work the best. Store the ribbon in a box or drawer, or hang it on your wall with a thumb tack or pushpin. Get a piece of plastic canvas from the craft store, and cut it down to the size you want. Poke your stud earrings through it, then put it into your jewelry box or drawer. Weave ribbon around the edges of your plastic canvas to make it...

It may be easier for the dyslexic adult to speak than to write. For people who have word-retrieval difficulties, grapho-motor weaknesses, or problems putting their ideas onto paper, using a speech recognition program may help with this process.  Some examples of this software include Dragon Naturally Speaking and Dragon Dictate. Using this software, you can dictate emails, craft essays, or surf the internet using voice commands. Many electronic readers (e-readers) now contain the option for text-to-speech and audio books, and many publishers include text-to-speech options when they sell a digital book. The three main digital platforms for text-to-speech options are tablet computers: the Kindle Fire HDX, the iPad, and Nexus 7.  The Kindle Fire HDX has a feature called Immersion Reading, which syncs highlighted Kindle text with professionally narrated audio from Audible. Nexus 7 allows for multiple settings for different users, which could prove useful if you share a tablet with other family members. There are a wide variety of apps available to help support dyslexic learners of any age. There are text-to-speech apps, such as Blio, Read2Go, Prizmo, Speak It! Text to Speech, and Talk to Me. Flipboard, and Dragon Go are search options which rely on voice command, allowing the user to bypass printed text. Reminder apps, such as Textminder or VoCal XL, will schedule text reminders of calendar listings, classes, meetings, medications, etc.

TL;DR in English: Use speech-to-text software. Use text-to-speech feature. Get familiar with apps.

Autism has a wide range of aspects that vary from person to person. Since autism is a developmental disability, communication and social skills tend to be a challenge. Specific symptoms vary. Autism is not a linear spectrum from "mild" to "severe." It impacts many different areas in different ways. For example, maybe your friend is funny and great at cheering people up, and has serious difficulty with self-care and sensory processing. An autistic person can be strong in one area and weak in another. It is important to understand your loved one's symptoms. Once you understand where the challenges lie, you can target those areas. Find out what strengths your loved one has, and what challenges they face. All of these components are important when choosing treatment options and coping mechanisms. It is good to know the general signs, and what autistic people think about autism. (Autistic-run organizations and blogs are usually good sources.) Here are a few signs of autism:  Motor skills may be delayed Difficulty understanding and interacting with others Difficulty grasping abstract uses of language (e.g. sarcasm, metaphors) Special interests that are unusual in terms of focus and passion Over- or under-sensitivity to various stimuli (sounds, sights, smells, etc.) Difficulty with self care Repetitive behavior, notably stimming One autistic person might want to focus on developing the self-care skills to live on their own, while another might want to make friends. Others might be perfectly fine with living in assisted living, or not making more friends. Recognize that your idea of the ideal lifestyle might differ from their idea, and it's most important that they are able to be happy. Autistic people are not embarrassing, broken, or deficient—simply different. Instead of saying "I'll finally be happy when my loved one _____," practice being happy now, and embarking on your journey together. Demonstrate unconditional love, so they can love themselves.

TL;DR in English: Recognize that autism is a deeply complex spectrum. Consider your loved one’s specific strengths and challenges. Be knowledgeable about autism. Understand that every autistic person's goals are different. Accept them as they are.

It’s important to make it clear that you are saying no to whatever she has asked or offered. Don’t say something vague that leaves the door open to things happening between you later on. Always answer her directly so she knows you are rejecting her.  An example of what not to say is, “Thanks for asking. I’m not sure right now, but maybe it will work out at some point.” This leaves it open that you might be interested. Say something like, “It feels good that you’re interested in me, but honestly I don’t feel the same. Thanks for asking, but I have to say no thanks to your offer.” When you reject her, it’s not always necessary to give a reason. If you give a specific reason, she may think that it’s temporary. Unless you really have a reason you feel you have to give her, stick to letting her down without a specific reason.  Don’t say, “I don’t think I want to date right now. I’ve just started this new job and I know it’s going to keep me busy.” This implies that later on you’d be free to engage in a relationship. For example, if a friend asks you on a date, don’t say, “I don’t like to date friends.” She may try to convince you. Simply say, “I’m going to have to pass. Thanks for the offer.” You may be tempted to ask if she wants to be friends or do something together that’s not a date. Don’t do this. If you know you aren’t interested in the way she is, don’t come up with something to soften the blow. Let your no simply be a no.  For example, you meet a girl at a friend’s party and she asks you out on a date for the next weekend. Don’t say, “I don’t know about a date, but some of us are hanging out at the lake if you want to join.” If you chat with a girl at a bar, say, “It’s been fun talking to you, but I’m not interested in pursuing something beyond this conversation.”

Activated charcoal is available at drug stores and natural health stores. It's commonly used as a remedy for indigestion, so it usually comes in the form of capsules. This pure black, all-natural substance is perfect for creating homemade eyeliner.  This is not the same as the type of charcoal you burn to cook food on the grill. Look for a jar of capsules labeled "activated charcoal" in the vitamin section of the store. If you can't find activated charcoal locally, it's available for purchase online. One bottle provides enough charcoal to make many year's worth of eyeliner. You can use an old eye shadow or lip balm pot, a tiny tin, or any other container you have on hand. Break the activated charcoal capsules into the container. You can use plain activated charcoal as eyeliner without mixing it with anything else. The charcoal will naturally mix with the oil on your skin to stay in place once you apply it. Dip your eyeliner brush into the container and apply eyeliner in your favorite style. If you like your eyeliner to have more of a paste or gel consistency, you can mix the activated charcoal with water or oil to make it a little damp. Start with just one or two drops, and keep mixing more in until your eyeliner reaches the consistency you want. Try mixing in one of the following ingredients:  Water Jojoba oil Almond oil Coconut oil Aloe vera gel

TL;DR in English: Buy some activated charcoal. Break a few capsules into a small container. Dip your eyeliner brush into the charcoal. Experiment with different textures.

Once you find a program that meets your needs, you'll need to complete the application procedure and enroll in that program. The most common major for aspiring Xray technicians is Radiography, but other areas of study may be acceptable, provided that the coursework for that major focuses on human anatomy, pathology, patient care, and radiation physics and protection. Common areas of study for aspiring Xray technicians include:  Radiography  Nuclear Medicine Technology  Radiation Therapy  Magnetic Resonance Imaging  Sonography Programs that offer an associate's degree in Radiography are most common, as this degree path meets the basic requirements of most employers, but students may wish to complete a bachelor's degree or even a graduate degree to gain additional experience and education.

TL;DR in English: Understand the skills required of an Xray technician. Find an accredited program to attend. Choose a relevant area of study. Earn a degree.

You can book a reservation at your favorite restaurant or you can cook. It doesn't even have to be fine dining. Often just putting something together in advance is a good way to show your Valentine that you care and that you're thinking of them. Add some candles, turn down the lights, and it's a perfect romantic evening. If you're like most people, there are probably so many things to do in your area that you've just never gotten around to. Spend an entire day exploring with your significant other, and make a point of going places neither of you have ever been before. Go to a new museum, go paintballing together, or hike a long trail that you've both been interested in, but never had the time for. You never know--you might even get to see a fun new side of the person you love. It sounds so cliché, until you realize that it has been forever since you last took an hour or two to simply sit down across from them at a table to talk. Put your phones on silent and out of sight, and just give each other your full attention. If you go to a nature preserve or big park, bring a field guide to birds or wild flowers and have fun working together to identify what you see. If you're in the city, do a self-guided walking tour together, wander down adorable side streets you've never noticed before, and make lots of stops to smell the roses. Book a few nights at a cosy bed and breakfast, or visit a nearby city for a few days. You might have to tell them to set aside the weekend for something special, but they don't have to know where you're going. Go all out, and make it a weekend to remember. Swing dances often include a brief lesson beforehand for beginners and people who want to brush up on rusty skills, and they can be a lot of fun. Or get up close and personal with a tango class. Nothing says romantic like a jazzy number and a beckoning dance floor.

TL;DR in English: Arrange for dinner. Plan a day out. Take your partner out for coffee. Go for a long walk together. Surprise your significant other with a weekend away. Take your partner out dancing.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that stimulates and enhances your immune cells and aids with circulating oxygen. Take up to 400 milligrams a day in supplement form. It can be hard to get enough vitamin E through your diet but it is naturally found in avocados, seeds, vegetable oils, and grains. This antioxidant boosts your white blood cells, antibodies, and interferon, all to improve your immune system. Try to get at least 200 milligrams of vitamin C a day by eating six servings of fruits and vegetables such as citrus fruits, strawberries, raspberries, broccoli, spinach, and bell peppers. Garlic contains allicin and sulphur compounds that provide you with antibacterial and detoxification properties. Eating a clove of garlic a day may help you recover faster.

If you have a hookworm infection, the first symptom you will notice is generally that your skin is itchier than normal. The itching begins with the hookworm larvae enter your skin. You may also notice the skin swelling and becoming red in the area where the itching sensation is the worst. This is also caused by the larvae entering your skin. People commonly feel hookworm itch in their hands and feet. When the hookworm enters your intestines, it can aggravate your intestines, leading to nausea and diarrhea. The hookworm can also release toxins that disrupt your digestive system. The nausea may occur with or without vomiting. Look for blood in your stool. The blood could be red or black. Hookworms can cause your colon to become inflamed. They can also irritate the lining of your intestine, which is comprised of the colon, cecum and rectum. When this occurs you might experience cramps in your abdomen. This symptom only occurs in severe hookworm infections. Hookworms feed directly on their hosts blood, which can lead to their host becoming iron deficient. Signs that you are iron deficient include:  Extreme fatigue and overall weakness. Pale skin and eyes. Chest pain and headache. Shortness of breath.

TL;DR in English: Keep track of when your skin suddenly becomes itchy and you notice a rash. Keep track of nausea and diarrhea you experience. Keep track of cramps you experience. Take note if you suddenly develop an iron deficiency.

Depending on the layout of your room, you may have little choice as to where the screen must go, but if possible, choose a wall that has no direct light, as light on the screen will make the image look washed out.  If you must choose a wall that receives direct light, consider an ambient light rejecting projector screen or, if you’re painting your screen on the wall, you can use ambient light rejecting paint (available at hardware stores).  You might also consider buying blackout curtains for your windows. This will again depend upon the layout of your room. If you only have a couch and some chairs in the room (i.e. not theater-style seating in rows), an appropriate height would be between 24 and 36 inches (61 and 91.5 centimetres) off the floor.  If you have multiple rows in your home theatre, you’ll want to have the screen a bit higher so that people who aren’t in the front row can still properly see whatever images or films you are projecting on to the screen.  When deciding on how far above the floor to place the screen, always keep the screen size in mind, as starting it too high off the ground might not leave enough room for the entire screen. This will be the height and width on which you wish to project the images from your projector. Keep the measurements handy, as you will need them while calculating where to mount your projector. Most projectors can create a high-quality 100-in. (254-cm, or 8.33-foot) image, so if you’re unsure of what size of screen to get — and your room can accommodate it — you should be safe with something close to 100 in.

TL;DR in English: Decide on the best location for the screen. Decide on your screen height. Know your screen size.

Hopefully, you'll be able to drop the social chameleon bit some time. It helps to have good friends who know you for you, and who share your interests. Whether it's work or school that calls for hiding one's self, it's always important to have least one other person around whom you can let your guard down. There's nothing wrong with having friends who are different from you too! If you get along well with another person, then there's no reason not to be friends. If you get too caught up in playing another version of yourself, you risk losing who you've been. Or, in a more real sense, you risk alienating the people who are close to you. If cloaking your nerdiness is a means to the attention of others, don't get trapped playing that part forever. Don't lie or feign interest in something just to hide yourself. It not only offends the other person, it's demeaning to you. If you truly find yourself so overwhelmed by accusations of nerdiness, consider re-evaluating your interests and hobbies. Don't change just for the sake of change, but really take the time to make sure you're not only staying in your comfort zone for the benefit of being comfortable. Life is enriched by trying new things and by making sure we don't focus on any one thing at the expense of another.

TL;DR in English: Keep good friends. Don't forget your own self. Learn to balance.

Whether you are creating an outdoor bonfire or something cozy in the fireplace, make sure you have ample wood and matches/lighter for the job.

If you have other dogs or cats in your home, you need to take your time introducing your new puppy to them. When you first bring your puppy home, keep him separate from your other animals. For their first meeting, find neutral territory, such as a neighbor's yard, a park, or other open space. There also needs to be a fence or other open but restricted barrier there so you can keep the animals apart.  Put a leash on all the animals and then put your new puppy on one side of the fence and your other animals on the other. Let them sniff each other through the barrier for around 30 minutes. The next day, take them back to a neutral location and let them meet without the barrier. This area needs to be open so they won't feel confined and will have plenty of room to sniff each other. Wait around two minutes while they sniff each other, letting them get used to each other. Watch them carefully for any aggressive behavior or fighting. After the initial sniffing, let them play for a few minutes, then take them back home. After this, let them together in your backyard, then in your house. For the first few weeks, don't leave them alone together in the house. Wait until you know they are familiar enough with each other until you do that. In order for your dog to be well adjusted, you need to get him acclimated to household noises and activity and other people. This will help him get used to them while he is still growing, which will help him not react badly to them as he grows.  You should do this in a non-threatening manner. Don't scare him with things, such as chasing him with a vacuum or hitting at him with a broom. Just go about your daily business so he gets used to it. Slowly introduce him to the other animals in the house as he grows so he gets used to them. Make sure any visitors you have over are introduced to your puppy so he learns to like new people. In order for your puppy to get used to being in the car, you should take him for a lot car rides. This will get him used to other vehicles on the road and the...

TL;DR in English: Introduce him to your other animals. Acclimate him early. Take him for rides. Go to the dog park. Go to obedience classes.

Have a bath or shower and gently wash the area with water. Use a soft cotton flannel to remove any discharge from the area. This makes it easier for the Clean and Dry cream to absorb into the skin. Avoid using any soap on the area, as this can cause inflammation and further infection. The Clean and Dry cream will be much easier to apply once your skin is dry. For best results, wait 10 minutes for your skin to dry naturally. If you are in a rush, use a soft cotton towel to gently dab away any excess water. Wash the towel after you have used it to avoid spreading bacteria. Squeeze the cream onto your finger and gently rub it over any areas of your vagina or vulva that are red, itchy, or inflamed. Rub the cream into the skin until it is no longer visible. If you have trouble seeing the area, use a mirror to help you. Clean and Dry cream is fast acting and you should begin to notice your symptoms clearing up within a few days. Apply the cream every morning and evening. Discontinue use after 5 days, as the cream is only designed for short-term use. Contact a doctor if your symptoms persist.

TL;DR in English: Clean the area thoroughly with water. Wait for your skin to air dry. Rub a pea-sized amount of cream over the area. Apply the cream twice a day for 5 days.

Blue eyes can easily get lost in dark undereye circles, and this is especially noticeable with a natural look. Apply concealer around and under your eyes to put the focus on them, not your circles!  Try using a salmon-colored concealer to hide the bluish tones in your skin. If you only need light coverage, dot the concealer along your undereye, then blend with your fingers or a makeup sponge. If you have very dark circles, apply a layer of concealer in an inverted triangle shape under your eye. The point of the triangle should be about level with the apples of your cheeks. Blend it with your fingers or a makeup sponge. It should blend into your face makeup and up to the corners of your eye.

TL;DR in English: Apply concealer under your eyes.

Read any relevant chapters before class so that you can understand the lecture better. You will also be aware of any concepts that you have difficulty understanding. You can ask the teacher before class or during class to clarify these concepts. As you are reading and studying before class, you should take notes. This way, you solidify the material in your mind. You should also scan or redraw any figures or diagrams that are important (e.g. they show up multiple times in the chapter). For every class, you should bring notes from previous classes. You should also bring your notes from independent studying, including pictures. This can give you an edge on taking notes in class, which will free up more time for you to absorb what the teacher is saying.

TL;DR in English:


Learn about how to breastfeed from a healthcare professional Maintain a breastfeeding schedule. Allow your baby to nurse for as long as necessary to empty your breasts of milk. Begin each nursing session with the opposite breast. Make sure your baby is latching on correctly to your breast. Switch positions for each feeding session. Avoid giving bottles to your baby in-between feedings.

Many meals can be just as delicious without meat. You can try removing meat entirely from your favorite recipes or replacing them with a vegetable.   Grilled eggplant or portobello mushrooms make for a delicious entrée. You can take out the beef from chili. Add extra beans or use a vegetarian beef substitute. Tofu and tempeh are great substitutes for chicken. You can use them in stir fry, salad, or tacos. Eat a veggie burger instead of a beef burger. You can buy frozen veggie burgers or make your own. Many people worry that they won’t get enough protein on a plant-based diet, but there are many great sources of protein found in plants. Some good sources of protein include:  Green peas Peanut or almond butter Chickpeas Beans Seitan, tempeh, or tofu If you are not on a vegan diet, you can still consume eggs and dairy as a source of protein. If you don’t feel full or satisfied after a meal, you might start to snack or crave unhealthy foods. For each meal, make sure that you have at least 1 high-fiber ingredient to keep you full between meals. Some high fiber foods include:  Legumes, including lima beans, black beans, lentils, and kidney beans. Whole grains, such as seeded breads, oatmeal, or quinoa. Berries, such as blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries. Green leafy vegetables, like spinach, kale, and swiss chard. This is healthier than eating processed foods, such as chips, cookies, or crackers. There are many delicious plant based snacks, such as:  Apple slices Carrots and hummus Roasted nuts Edamame Toasted pumpkin seeds If you want to eliminate dairy from your diet as well, you do not have to give up your favorite milk-based meals. Try using almond, soy, coconut, rice, or hemp milk instead. There are also non-dairy substitutions for yogurt, ice cream, and coffee creamer.  Non-dairy milk may not work as well in baking. They can be used, however, in hot drinks, cereal, oatmeal, curries, mac and cheese, and smoothies. You can find non-dairy cheeses in your local groceries. These are usually made from nuts.

TL;DR in English: Substitute vegetables for meat in meals. Look for plant-based sources of protein. Choose high-fiber foods to keep you full. Eat fruit or raw veggies as a snack. Replace milk with non-dairy alternatives.

There are advantages to both options depending on how much you are prepared to care for it. Too much soil or fertilization can actually harm your plant. However, if you are using tap water and it has fluoride and other chemicals, you may want to use soil and fertilizer to prevent yellow tips.  If you are growing it in standing water, you will need some pebbles to hold it upright. If in soil, try mixing a third each of sand, peat moss, and regular soil to ensure excellent drainage. For water only, make sure that your plant has at least enough to cover the base of the roots. You should also change the water at least once per week to prevent the plant from rotting. It is a good idea to rinse the vase, pebbles, and plant each time you do this. If you are growing the plant in soil, water the plant just enough so that the soil is moist. Your pot should be about 2 inches (5 cm) larger in diameter than the plant. Most Lucky Bamboo plants already come in a pot, but you can use your own pot to make the plant more your own.  A clear container works well for water and will show off your plant and pebbles, but make sure that you keep it out of direct sunlight. You can also use a ceramic pot and grow it in either pure water or in soil. If you use soil, plant the bamboo in a pot with a drain hole. Too much fertilizer is worse than none at all, so use it sparingly. This is especially true of potted plants because the fertilizer will not become diluted by rain and can’t run off like it will for plants in the ground.

TL;DR in English: Decide between water or soil. Choose the right container. Add a very light fertilizer periodically for quicker growth.

. Mastitis can develop at any point during the nursing process, but many women who experience it in the first four weeks of nursing, when their breasts are still very engorged. It occurs more often in first-time mothers who are new to breastfeeding. Speak to your physician or midwife about how to breastfeed properly so you can prevent mastitis.  At the beginning of your pregnancy, your doctor or midwife will likely provide you with handouts and information booklets preparing you for pregnancy, delivery, breastfeeding, and the first few weeks with your new baby. If she doesn't offer these materials to you, ask for them. After the baby is born, don't hesitate to talk to a medical professional if you need help learning to breastfeed. It's important that you start your time as a mother by learning how to breastfeed properly to ensure your baby gets the nutrients she needs and to prevent mastitis. Having consistent feeding times will prevent your breasts from becoming too full of milk. A full breast can lead to engorgement, which can lead to an episode of mastitis. You should breastfeed every one to three hours, or whenever your baby is hungry.  If you know you're going to have to miss a feeding, pump your milk to empty your breasts at the scheduled time for the feeding. If your breasts feel full before the regularly scheduled feeding time, it's important to empty them. If milk sits in your breasts, it will thicken, impeding flow and possibly lead to mastitis.  You don't have to wait for your baby to tell you it is feeding time. Your baby will more likely than not nurse a little when offered the breast. Don't be afraid to wake your baby if you have to. It is better to interrupt baby's sleep and drain the breast than to put yourself at risk of developing mastitis. All babies have different nursing needs and all mothers have different milk supplies. Some babies will drain a breast entirely in 10 minutes while others can suckle for up to 30 minutes on each breast. Get to know your baby's nursing needs and allow him...

Place a pillow behind your back. Place a nursing pillow designed for twins firmly around your waist and set a pillow underneath it for extra support. You can also set single nursing pillows on both of your sides so you can set the babies there once you've finished breastfeeding them.  You may want to have someone help you

Set up pillow supports. Arrange the babies next to you on the nursing pillow. Latch one baby on at a time. Check your babies' positions. Let the babies finish nursing.

Raise your arms straight above your head. Fully extend your dominant leg straight out in front of you, keeping the other leg straight beneath you.. Stand tall and engage your core muscles. If you are starting with a spotter, they should put one hand on your back, and one hand under the thigh of your kicking leg. Point your palms upwards and push your hips forward. Push your arms and head backwards, making sure that you move them together. Bend your back slowly and carefully, keeping your dominant leg in position.  Keep your abdominal muscles tight so that you can keep control of your core as you bend backwards. Make sure to balance your weight firmly on the one leg that is on the ground. Do not bend you knees or elbows just yet. Bend your hands so that your fingertips point towards the ground. Make contact with the mat underneath you and plant your hands onto the ground. Allow your weight to shift onto your hands.

The government agency or department is considered the author of the document. Go from the largest administrative unit to the smallest. In your bibliographic entry, separate each unit with a period. Example: U.S. Department of the Interior. National Park Service. Northeast Region. Use title-case, capitalizing all nouns, pronouns, verbs, and adverbs in the title. Place a period at the end of the title, unless an individual author is named. Example: U.S. Department of the Interior. National Park Service. Northeast Region. Schoodic: Draft General Management Plan Amendment and Environmental Impact Statement. If an individual author's name is identified, they should be acknowledged in your citation. Place a comma after the title, type the word "by," and ad the name of the author using first name-middle initial-last name format. The author's name should not be italicized. Example: U.S. Department of the Interior. U.S. Geological Survey. Assessment of Coal Geology, Resources, and Reserves in the Montana Powder River Basin, by Jon E. Haacke, David C. Scott, Lee M. Osmonson, James A. Luppens, Paul E. Pierce, and Jay A. Gunderson. Many government documents have a specific report number, particularly those that are issued periodically. If you see a report or publication number listed at the top of the document, include it in your citation exactly as it appears on the document. Example: U.S. Department of the Interior.

Sit on your couch, bed, or floor and place a pillow behind your back for support. Put a nursing pillow designed for twins firmly around your waist and set a pillow underneath it for extra support. You can also set single nursing pillows on both of your sides so you can set the babies there once you've finished breastfeeding them.  You may want to have someone help you get used to setting up the pillow supports and handing you the babies (especially if they're newborns). Some double nursing pillows actually strap around your waist. You can place the babies in the double football or clutch hold so that one baby is on each of your sides. You should be able to tuck the babies under your arms (like a football). The babies' tummies should be touching your tummy and they shouldn't be on their backs. Their feet should be pointed towards your back and you can support the shoulders, neck, and head with your arm. This hold works well for preterm or smaller babies. It's also a good choice if you had a C-section since it keeps pressure off of your stomach. Start by latching whichever baby has an easier time of latching on. Once that baby is securely on your breast, help the other baby latch on to the other breast. This will give you a chance to help the baby that might be struggling more to latch on. If you have preterm or very young babies, you may want to place a small rolled up cloth right behind their heads. This will give them a little extra support. If you have a pillow underneath your nursing pillow, your babies should be raised up a little towards your breasts. For simultaneous breastfeeding, their legs should be wrapped around your sides and almost tucked around your back. The babies should be on their sides rather than their backs while they're breastfeeding. Your main goal is that they remain latched on and don't roll back or off of the nursing pillow. You don't need to stop and switch breasts as long as both babies are nursing well. You may need to help a baby latch on if it slips off, but give it a chance to...

The first step in the process of making a homemade vinegar is to make sure that the victim does not ingest any more gasoline.  If the victim is unconscious, proceed directly to Step 3. If you suspect that your child has swallowed gasoline but don't know how much, treat this as an emergency situation and call Emergency Services

Find a certified body piercing specialist. Have your parents attend a consultation with the piercer. Make sure about proper sterilization. Give them time to think about it.

Take off the rubber band and lid cover, then stick a straw down into the liquid without disturbing the gelatinous “mother” floating on the surface. Press your thumb against the open end of the straw to trap some vinegar inside the straw. Remove the straw from the jar, place the straw into a small glass, and let go with your thumb to discharge the vinegar into the glass. You can use a disposable plastic straw or a reusable straw for this task. Take a small sip of the vinegar. If it is either too weak (because the fermentation process hasn’t proceeded enough) or too sharp and intense (because vinegar mellows over time), re-cover it and give it another 2 weeks to ferment. Keep tasting the vinegar every 1-2 weeks until it meets your approval. Carefully remove the gelatinous blob floating on the surface of your finished vinegar, and transfer it to a new jar of starter liquid (for instance, equal parts of wine and water). This way, you can continuously churn out new batches of homemade vinegar! Alternatively, you can slowly pour out nearly all of the vinegar in your jar, leaving just a small amount in the bottom with the “mother” still floating in it. Then, refill the jar with more alcohol and start a new batch in this original jar. After removing the "mother" from the fermenting jar (or leaving it behind in the jar), pour the vinegar into a medium saucepan. Place it on the stove over medium-low heat and use a probe thermometer to check the temperature. When the temperature is over 140 °F (60 °C) but less than 160 °F (71 °C), remove the pot from the heat and let the vinegar cool to room temperature.  This process of pasteurizing the vinegar will enable it to be stored indefinitely at room temperature and low light in a glass container.  You can skip pasteurizing the vinegar if you wish, and it will still probably store for months or even possibly years without any noticeable decline in quality or flavor. But this quick step is worth the effort to ensure the long-term quality of your homemade vinegar. Place an...

TL;DR in English: Siphon out some vinegar with a straw after 2 months. Taste the siphoned vinegar, and give the batch more time as needed. Spoon out the “mother” if you want to reuse it in a new vinegar batch. Pasteurize the vinegar so it will keep indefinitely. Bottle the finished vinegar through a filter and funnel. Don't use homemade vinegar for canning, preserving, or room temperature storage.

The first priority is to make sure that the victim does not ingest any more gasoline.  If the victim is unconscious, proceed directly to Step 3. If you suspect that your child has swallowed gasoline but don't know how much, treat this as an emergency situation and call Emergency Services immediately. .  Explain the situation in as much detail as you can.  If the victim is a child, make it very clear that you require immediate assistance. If the victim is conscious, reassure him that help is on the way, and do not encourage vomiting. If the person seems able, offer him water to drink, and help him remove any gasoline-covered clothing and rinse any gasoline from his skin. If person vomits, help him lean forward, or turn his head to the side to prevent choking and aspiration. Roll the victim onto his back, and begin chest compressions. For each compression, push down on the center of the victim's chest 2 inches (5.1 cm), or 1/3 to 1/2 the depth of the chest.  Give 30 rapid compressions at a rate of about 100 per minute.  Then tilt the victim's head back, and lift his chin.  Pinch the victim's nose, and blow into his mouth until you see him chest rise.  Give two breaths that each last about 1 second, and then another series of chest compressions.  Repeat the cycle of 30 chest compressions and two breaths until the victim recovers or help arrives. If you are on the phone with emergency services, the operator will coach you through the process of administering CPR. The Red Cross now recommends that CPR should be administered to a child in the same way it is given to adults, with the exception that in an infant or small child, the compressions should only be 1 1⁄2 inches (3.8 cm) deep instead of 2 inches.

TL;DR in English: Get the gasoline away from the person. Assume that a child who has swallowed any amount of gasoline is in danger. Call Emergency Services Monitor the victim closely. If the victim stops breathing, coughing or moving, and does not respond to your voice, begin CPR immediately.

Assure your parents that any risks associated with lip piercing are significantly reduced by choosing a piercer certified by the Association of Professional Piercers. This organization screens and approves piercing businesses according to their compliance with general standards, including licensing and the use of proper sterilization facilities. Try asking your parents to do a search with you for an APP-certified piercer in your area, using the organization’s member search page. If they seem to be unsure about letting you get the piercing, ask your parents to go with you to an initial consultation with a piercer at an APP-certified business. The piercer should explain the procedure, possible complications, care for the piercing, and a timeline for healing. Having a clearer understanding of these aspects will help your parents decide, and most likely reduce their fears about the risks. While at the piercing shop, ask an employee about recent spore test results. Every reputable piercing business should have these. They show proof of the proper working order of the autoclave, which sterilizes the piercing equipment and jewelry. Make a point to ask about these test results yourself. This will demonstrate to your parents that you're taking the whole process seriously, and are genuinely concerned about health and safety issues related to the piercing. Try not to give your parents the impression that they need to decide right away. If they feel that they’re being pressured to give you an answer, there’s a greater chance that they’ll just say “no.” Remember that this is probably a major decision for them, so give them time to think it over and discuss it with others. This also shows them that you’re mature enough to be able to wait some time for an answer. For example, you can introduce the idea by saying something like, “Mom, I’d like to ask you something pretty serious. I know this might be a hard decision for you, so please don’t feel like you need to decide right away. You’ll probably want to take some time to...
