Leave some food sitting out. Entice rats with grains and seeds. Give outdoor rodents access to your garbage. Look for rats around leaf and compost piles. Employ a chemical rat attractant.

After a venomous snakebite, your cat will become lethargic and may start vomiting. She will probably start to become very weak and collapse. In addition, her muscles may begin to twitch and her pupils will start to dilate. As more time passes after the snakebite, she could exhibit even more serious signs, such as seizures, paralysis, and shock.  Signs of shock include rapid shallow breathing, hypothermia, and a rapid heart rate.  Because of the amount of pain she is in, she may also be more vocal. Do not wait to see if your cat shows symptoms of a snakebite. If you saw the snake bite your cat, or if you see the bite wound, take your cat to the veterinarian immediately. The onset of clinical signs after a snakebite is usually rapid—within a few minutes to an hour of being bitten. If your cat shows no clinical signs after 60 minutes, then the snake's venom likely did not enter her system.  Your cat may not exhibit these clinical signs if she has been bitten by a nonvenomous snake. However, you should still take her to your veterinarian for treatment and monitoring. In order to give the appropriate antivenin, it would be helpful for your veterinarian to know the species of the attacking snake. In the US, the most common venomous snakes are rattlesnakes, water moccasins, copperheads, and coral snakes.  If you witnessed the attack, stay calm and take note of the color, length, and pattern of the snake. For your safety, do not approach the snake to get a closer look. Do not try to kill the snake. You will put yourself in more danger of being bitten by approaching the snake and trying to kill it. Venomous snakes have slit-like pupils (similar to a cat), whereas non-venomous snakes have round pupils (like people). There are exceptions, however. For instance, the venomous coral snake has round pupils. If you are not able to identify the snake or do not know if it is venomous, assume that it is venomous. The negative effects on the cardiovascular system can cause your cat to go into shock.

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to your cat’s clinical signs. Try to identify the species of snake that bit your cat.

If soda has spilled inside your car’s plastic cup holders, buy a cleaner specify formulated for the plastic insides of your car. Spray this cleaner into the cup holders, then scrub at the soda stain with a toothbrush. After scrubbing, stuff paper towels or a clean rag into the cup holder and wipe away the cleaner and stain.  If you can’t find a car cleaner, use an all-purpose cleaning spray, a 1/1 solution of white vinegar and water, or soapy water.  If the stain is particularly large or old, you may have to repeat this process several times to completely remove the stain. Use baby wipes or cleaning wipes to spot clean the inside of sticky cup holders. This is a good step to take if you have already done an initial cleaning but are left with individual trouble spots in your cup holders. To clean, rub the baby wipe or cleaning wipe on the stain until it has been rubbed away. If you have spilled your soda onto the plastic sidings of the car or the car door, use ammonia-free glass cleaner to remove the stain. Spray a few sprays of the glass cleaner onto a clean rag or paper towel, then wipe away the stain. Don’t use glass cleaner with ammonia, as this can bleach the plastic.

TL;DR in English: Use cleaning spray and a toothbrush to clean cup holders. Spot clean the cup holders with a baby wipe. Use glass cleaner to clean plastic car sidings.

Treat them with love, respect, and selflessness and they will be devoted to you. Scorpios are good friends. Give them 100 percent and they will return it with interest! Scorpios tend to have only a few very intense friendships because they need for their friends to bond with them on the deepest and most intimate level. Flimsy and ephemeral friendships are of no interest to a Scorpio. Once you've been part of their lives they will never forget you. If you wrong a Scorpio, they may eventually forgive you, after making you suffer, but they will never forget. Betrayal will be answered with an unrivaled thirst for vengeance. There's a reason the symbol for this sign is the scorpion. The likelihood you’ll win in a fight with them is very low. Most Scorpios (not all) love to compete - and most of all, win. Scorpios love sports or games where they have an opponent to defeat. If Scorpios have a goal, they will always try to reach it. They never give up and usually succeed in whatever they do.

TL;DR in English: Be loyal. Do not anger a Scorpio. Embrace the competitive streak of a Scorpio.

Rats aren't picky eaters—you can use just about any type of edible item as rodent bait, including meats, cheeses, fish, moldy bread, and produce that’s past its prime. Sweet offerings like fruit are among their favorites, particularly berries. Rats prefer foods with strong odors, which they use to sniff out a meal. For this reason, spoiled items may be more effective for drawing them out than fresh ones. Set out an open sack of flour or bucket of rotting feed. Grains, nuts, and other plant-based nibbles provide rats with a lot of energy, which is why it’s no coincidence that they can often be found in places like pantries and storage sheds. It’s not uncommon to spot rats lurking near bird feeders or bags of grass seed. If you have an overflowing trash can or dumpster outside, you may not need to do anything special to whip a community of hidden rats into a frenzy. The mixture of rotting food items in the average waste receptacle is like a buffet for a hungry rodent.  Let your trash sit out for an extra day or two before having it hauled off so it’s extra smelly. Your garbage will become a rat magnet in the sweltering summer months, when the heat speeds decomposition. Rake the scattered leaves, twigs, and weeds from around your property into mounds and wait for the furry invaders to pour in. Rats often seek shelter in these places or make off with small pieces of debris to build their nests. Situate leaf piles and compost heaps next to the tree line or close to dark or confined spaces. Rats are more likely to venture into these areas than those that are out in the open. Squeeze a few drops of rat attractant around the area where you want to lure and trap rats. These products use natural compounds to mimic the scent of rat saliva. Any rats that happen to be passing by will pick up on the smell and think there’s something edible nearby.  You can buy rat attractant from most pet stores, or in the pest control aisle of your local home improvement center. A little bit of rat attractant goes a long way. Hints of the...

When it’s cold out, it’s time to switch up your night clothes. Swap out cotton for some flannel pajamas. You can buy flannel tops and bottoms, as well as night shirts. Flannel is a great insulator that will help you retain your body heat. Look for a fun or cute print to liven up your flannel wardrobe. Looser is generally better when it comes to sleepwear. You probably move around during your sleep, and it’s best to wear clothing that will easily move with you. Look for loose clothing, but make sure you won't get tangled up in it if you toss and turn. If you wear pajama pants, make sure that the elastic is loose and breathable. Your feet might be one of the coldest parts of your body. To help keep your whole body toasty, keep your feet warm by sleeping in socks. Choose socks that feel comfortable to you. Make sure they’re not too big or floppy. You don’t want them coming off in the middle of the night! If flannel doesn’t seem to be keeping you warm enough, consider adding additional layers of clothing. You could try a thermal t-shirt underneath your pajama top. You can also add a pair of form fitting leggings underneath your pants or night shirt. If you get cold during the night, add another layer. If you get too hot, just peel one off. A lot of your body heat can escape through your head. If you’re really cold, consider wearing a hat to bed. You can wear a ski cap or even a hunter’s style cap with ear flaps. Whatever feels good to you is the right hat. You could choose to wrap a scarf around your head (not your face) as an alternative to a hat.

TL;DR in English: Wear flannel pajamas. Pay attention to fit. Wear socks. Try layers. Cover your head.

Separate the strips by pulling them apart. Align the shapes of the strips, with the red labels facing outward on each side. Push the strips together until you hear a click. Peel off one of the red (or green, depending on your product) liners. Place the strip sticky-side down onto the back of the frame. Press the strip down firmly.  Repeat this step for each strip you want to apply to the frame. For example, you may want to use two to four strips per frame. If you’re using four strips for a frame, put the lowest pair approximately two-thirds of the way down from the frame’s top. Make sure all of the liners are removed. Push the frame against the wall strongly. Hold it firmly for 30 seconds. Hold the bottom of the frame. Lift it gently towards you and upwards. Press the entire length of the strips for 30 seconds each. Don’t yank the frame straight towards you, or you’ll loosen the strips instead of detaching the frame from the wall. Don’t reattach the frame until an hour has passed. Afterwards, align the frame’s strips with the strips on the wall. Push the frame until all of the strips have clicked into place. Leaving the frame off of the wall for an hour gives the adhesive time to bond to the wall. If the frame isn’t straight, you can remove one or more strips. Hold the bottom two corners of the frame and lift it up and away. Reposition the strip(s) as desired. Hold the top of the strip you want to reposition with one hand. With your other hand, pinch the strip at the bottom and pull it downwards. Stretch it slowly, straight down – up to 15 inches – until the strip releases from the wall.

TL;DR in English: Snap the strips together. Attach the strips to the back of the picture frame. Adhere the frame to the wall. Remove the frame to secure the underlying strips. Let the strips cure for at least an hour. Readjust the strips if needed.

It's normal to feel upset and a little heartbroken when your crush rejects you, but anger will not help anything. Getting angry can be particularly damaging if your crush is a close friend, as getting mad may ruin the friendship. Wish your crush good luck and try to smile. If you were/are close friends, let your crush know you'd like to remain friends, and that you hope this won't change things between you. It's the best way to save face and maintain the friendship after getting rejected. One of the best ways to get over heartbreak and rejection is to surround yourself with friends. Whether you go to a movie, get food, go out for a drink (if you're old enough), or just hang out at home, it's important to be with friends during difficult situations. Let your friends know you're going through a rough patch, and ask them if they're free to spend some time together. Some friends will make the effort to reach out to you, but other friends may need to be invited. If your friends don't immediately reach out to you, try approaching them and let them know that you could really use some company. If you're feeling the sting of a crush's rejection, it can be helpful to seek out activities that make you happy. Whether you enjoy listening to music, reading a book, watching a movie, or simply going for a walk or bike ride, doing things you enjoy can help you feel good and stay positive in spite of how you're feeling. Some people may assume that journaling won't help, but studies have shown that journaling can help people put their thoughts into perspective and remain positive after experiencing heartbreak.  Invest in a new, high-quality journal. This will ensure that the journal will stand up to any abuse from daily use, and will make you more likely to want to use your journal every day.  Set aside time everyday to write in your journal. Try setting a timer to force yourself to write for longer periods of time.  Allow yourself to experiment. Your journal isn't intended to be read by anyone else, so let yourself be open and...

Losing weight, and maintaining your ideal body weight once you achieve it, can be very difficult.  Depending on your current weight and health status, a strict diet and exercise regimen can also create potential health risks.  Talk to your doctor before starting any new weight loss regimen.  Your doctor can help you set healthy weight loss goals and suggest safe strategies for losing weight. Your doctor might also be able to refer you to a registered dietitian or fitness professional who can help you create and achieve realistic goals. Everyone’s body is different. Weight loss can be more difficult (and potentially unhealthy) for some people than for others.  Before trying to achieve a runway model physique, give some serious thought to what sorts of weight-loss goals you can reasonably attain.  Aim for goals that are SMART  ""Specific"".  Plan out exactly how much exercise you are going to do each week, or how many calories you are going to consume every day. ""Measurable"".  Keeping your goals measurable will help you pinpoint how successful you are at meeting them.  For example, while you can’t measure a goal like “eating healthier,” you can definitely measure a goal like “eating 1,200 calories per day.” ""Attainable"".  Consider whether you have the time, resources, and physical ability to meet your goals.  Are your daily exercise goals compatible with your work schedule?  Do your diet plans meet your specific health/nutritional needs? ""Realistic"".  There is only so much weight that you can safely lose in a given amount of time.  Talk to your doctor or dietitian about what kind of weight loss you can realistically hope to attain. ""Trackable"".  You should be able to measure your progress in some way, whether it is through weekly weigh-ins or keeping a diary of your physical activity and calorie intake every day. Keep in mind that models often take extreme and dangerous measures to lose or maintain weight.  Models are at high risk for developing physical and psychological problems as a result of the...

In most instances, creditors and lenders want to see a debt-to-income ratio of 36 percent or less. If your debt-to-income ratio is higher than this percentage, you might have difficulty securing a loan until after that percentage drops.  A ratio of 19 percent or less is ideal, and if you can secure this level of financial security, you should have very little problem securing loans or taking on new credit. A ratio between 20 and 36 percent or less will usually be deemed healthy enough to secure a loan from most lenders, but you should begin cutting back once you . If your debt-to-income ratio is between 37 and 42 percent, you are in a state of minor financial crisis and may not be able to get any loans or new lines of credit. At a ratio between 43 and 49 percent, you will likely begin seeing financial difficulties in your everyday life in the near future. If your ratio is 50 percent or higher, you need to seek professional help to quickly reduce your debt. These are terms that are used when you are looking to secure a mortgage loan. Front-end debt ratios only use proposed monthly housing expenses, while back-end debt ratios use all existing debt and any new projected monthly mortgage payments.  For most purposes, you should look at your back-end debt. Many lenders will usually look at front-end debt, but as a borrower, you should look at both front-end and back-end debt to determine how much you can actually afford regarding new loans and credit. Front-end debt-to-income ratios are also known as housing-expense-to-income ratios. This percentage should be at or below 28 percent, while a back-end debt-to-income ratio should be at or below 36 percent. If your debt-to-income ratio is higher than you would like it to be, you can help lower it by implementing lifestyle changes that decrease your debt levels.  Increase the amount of money you pay toward your debts. If you can manage it, make extra payments toward your loan, house, car, or any other debt for which there is a principle you must pay off in addition to...

If your home has central heating and cooling, then you most likely have a central thermostat to control it. Thermostats, whether programmable or not, will have many similar settings, including fan options, heating options, and cooling options. With fan options, you will most likely have  “on” or “auto.” By choosing “on,” you will engage the fan on your system to circulate air through the home without heating or cooling it. The fan will run for as long as the “on” option is engaged. The “auto” option will only engage the fan when either the heat or air conditioning turns on and needs to be circulated.  The “on” option for the fan is generally considered an energy waster since it will require a decent amount of energy to move that much air on a constant basis. Due to this most people only ever leave the fan set to “auto.” Many people use the “on” option simply to flush air out of a house—if something burned while cooking and you want to circulate enough air to clear the smell, for instance. Depending on your model of thermostat, you will likely either have a small switch on the thermostat’s faceplate or a cycle button to cycle between heating, cooling, and off options. You can prep the system to cool the home by moving the switch or pressing the button until you reach the “cool” setting. You will see a number on the thermostat display. This number is the ambient temperature in your home. Use the up and down arrows on the thermostat to set the temperature you want the home to reach. You will see a different display number come up that corresponds to the temperature you set.  You will likely hear the system click as it engages and turns on the air conditioning to lower the temperature in the house to what you have set. The system will run until the house reaches the chosen temperature, and then it will automatically turn itself off and only reengage when the internal thermometer registers that the home is warmer than the set temperature. You can use the same switch or button to cycle the system to “off” at any...

TL;DR in English: Learn the differences between settings. Turn on the fan. Set the air conditioner. Set the heat.

this is a failure-to-fire (FTF) malfunction. You pull the trigger and you get a "click" instead of a "boom." This is the simplest type of malfunction, the most common type, and the easiest to fix: just tap, rack/flip. a failure-to-eject is a common problem on older 1911s and other guns with shorter ejectors. This type of malfunction is affectionately known as a "stovepipe." The symptom of this malfunction is a "dead trigger" (no click, just a little bit of movement), and most likely some brass sticking out of your ejection port (but not necessarily), and the slide is not completely in battery (all the way forward). Fix it using the same method at a Type-1 malfunction: tap, rack/flip. this is known as "the Mother Of All Malfunctions" (MOAM) by some. This is a feed-way stoppage, which means that too much brass is in the chamber at the same time.  If you do get a type-3 malfunction under fire, many pistol masters will tell you just to grab for your back-up. Of course, if that is not an option you should find cover before executing the clearing. To clear: grab your slide and lock it back (this is optional on many handguns). Press the magazine eject, grab the magazine and throw it to the ground ("strip" it). Grab the slide again and rack it hard three times. Reach for a fresh magazine, put it in the gun (same as the tactical reload) and rack the slide one more time to load a round into the chamber. You can also learn to keep the magazine you have in your gun, read this. this is pretty uncommon, and if it ever happens to you when you are practicing with your gun at the range, throw the gun away and get a different model! This malfunction is when the slide does not go back into battery after firing. This might happen because your guide rod or guide rails are really gummed up (to the point where it looks as if there is a wad of Juicy Fruit in there), your guide spring is too weak or your chamber design is bad. Either way, modern semi-automatic pistols should never have this happen. A gunsmith (or you) may be able to...

In the United States, the term “otaku” is usually reserved for people who are hardcore anime or manga fans, but in Japan, “otaku” basically defines anyone who is a hardcore fan of any one interest. Even if the otaku girl in your life is a huge anime fan, it helps to know which series and genres she's most interested in.  The Japanese concept of “otaku” is similar to the American idea of a fangirl (or fanboy), geek, or nerd. A person could be an anime otaku or game otaku, but someone could also be something like a train otaku. Anyone who loves something enough to obsess over it can be labeled as an “otaku.” The American concept of “otaku” tends to be someone who is obsessed with some part of Japanese pop culture or Asian pop culture in general. Anime, manga, and computer games are the most notable obsessions, but an otaku could also obsess over J-Pop music or Korean dramas. Simply knowing the title of her favorite series isn't enough. If you really want to impress your otaku girl, you should do a little research into her favorites so that you know what they're all about. You don't need to love everything she loves, but you should have a basic enough understanding to follow along with her rants when she starts talking about one of her passions. Another advantage to your research is that you'll learn more about the type of things she loves, rather than knowing only a few examples. Most otaku girls will branch out from their original obsessions and latch onto things related to them. If you learn enough about what interests her, you may eventually be able to introduce her to something else she'd enjoy, which will definitely leave her feeling impressed with you. Take her to places that cater to her passions. Give her gifts that are related to the things she loves. Otaku girls like to be romanced, but standard “cookie cutter” actions only scratch the surface and fail to address her as an individual.  Keep in mind that your gifts do not need to be expensive to make an impression. As a general rule, otaku girls tend...

TL;DR in English: Know her passions. Do your research. Impress her by acknowledging those interests. Do not look down on her or expect her to change. Compliment her. Notice her other quirks. Don't push her too far out of her comfort zone.

To quote a song worth kissing to, “If you think that is a kiss is all in the lips, come on, you’ve got it all wrong.”  The intensity of a kiss is determined by so much more than the kiss itself, and eye contact is where many kisses begin.  Intentionally pause right before impact for a moment of pure and unadulterated eye contact. A powerful moment of eye contact can actually be the breaking point of passion, pulling you in to one another for a kiss that is already unforgettable. Break eye contact by looking at their lips. Let them know what you’re thinking about with your eyes. This is harder than you think.  The better the kiss, the worse your memory.  That said, oxygen-deprivation is a far-too-common reason that kisses do not achieve their full potential.  Make breathing breaks sexy by allowing your partner to feel your breath, though only barely. Evince your nervous energy and excitement with flattering exhalations. It’s a deeply gratifying feeling to literally take someone’s breath away. If someone takes yours, make sure they know it. The impact made the first time your lips meet someone else’s can be completely and incredibly disorienting.  Allow gravity to fall away by letting your lips linger on your partner’s skin. Time and space will distort accordingly.  That said, don’t hold back.  Don’t feel as though you should hesitate and let your partner lead, unless this is what you want and have been clear about your desires. If you’re interested, act like it and initiate! Immerse yourself fully in every kiss, but especially the first few times your lips touch one another’s. Allow yourself the freedom and enjoyment of fully enjoy another person’s affection. When you pull away, your eyes will already be sharing exactly how you felt about the endeavor, and you’ll already have forgotten everything else about your day.

TL;DR in English: Make eye contact. Remember to breathe. Take your time.

Many people eat as much as 3,500 mg of sodium per day. The DASH diet, which is short for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, recommends no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. Sodium is in salt, so the best way to reduce your sodium intake is to eat less salt. You can do this by:  Not adding table salt to your food. This may also include reducing the amount of salt you use when cooking. Easy ways to do this include not salting meats and not adding salt to the water when you cook rice or pasta. Avoiding salty snacks and processed food such as chips, pretzels, and salted nuts. They often have large amounts of salt added to them. If you do purchase prepared foods, look to see if you can get a low-salt version. Check the contents of canned food, premixed seasonings, bouillon cubes, canned soups, jerkies, and sports drinks to see if they have salt added to them. Whole grains are better than processed white rice or processed white flour because they have more fiber and nutrients. A serving is a slice of bread or a half a cup of cooked rice or pasta. You can eat more whole grains by:  Buying whole wheat flour and pasta instead of white. Many whole wheat bread products will say on the packaging that they are whole wheat. Oatmeal and brown rice are also excellent sources of nutrients and fiber. You should eat four to five servings of fruit and four to five servings of vegetables each day. A serving is a half a cup of leafy vegetables or a ½ cup of cooked vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are great sources of potassium and magnesium which help to lower your blood pressure. Excellent ways to get your fruits and vegetables include:  Eating salads with your meals. You can keep them interesting by varying what you put in them. You can add a sweet element by putting apple or orange slices on a salad. Leave on the peels of thin-skinned fruits like apples because they also contain nutrients. You can also go more traditional with fresh greens, carrots, and tomatoes. But go easy on the salad dressings: they often have a...

Most razors come with an added moisture or lubricating strip. These strips tend to be loaded with chemicals and other ingredients—yes, razors have ingredients! However, you can find razors that are more natural. Look for a razor that does not have the moisture strip. An alternative would be to purchase razors that have it and then peel or otherwise remove the strip yourself. Common store brands for shaving creams and gels are also full of chemicals and toxic products. Look for a more natural brand, or make it yourself.  Brands such as Dr. Bronner's, Garden of Eve, and Kiss My Face are known for making more natural shaving products. For homemade shaving cream, you can simply use coconut oil or another carrier oil, like sweet almond oil or sesame oil. You can also look into homemade mixtures. There are some body parts that men and women commonly shave:  Women commonly shave their legs, underarms, and bikini areas. Some women also shave their arms. Men commonly shave their beards, mustaches, and chests. There are some reports that people should not shave certain areas, like their arms, because the hair will grow back faster and thicker. However, scientists have proven this to be untrue. In a thin layer, spread your shaving product over the body part you are shaving. Be sure you have enough to protect your skin from nicks and cuts, especially since your razor does not have a moisture strip. Pull your razor up the body part that you are shaving in one long motion. Continue to do this repeatedly until you have shaved the entire area.  Frequently rinse the excess shaving product and shaved hair from your razor so that you get a clean, smooth shave all around. Take your time and go slowly. You are more likely to get a shaving nick or cut whenever you rush and forget to take care on areas like your ankles and knees. When you are done shaving the entire body part or area that you want shaved, rinse it and then check for any spots you missed while shaving. Dab a little bit of shaving cream or gel on that spot and touch...

TL;DR in English: Purchase an appropriate razor. Buy a natural shaving cream or gel. Wet the area that you would like to shave. Apply the shaving cream or gel to the area to be shaved. Shave the area carefully. Rinse your skin and check for missed spots. Clean your razor.

Consider what the guest of honor likes and use that as basis for a party theme. If you're throwing a party for a kid, the theme might be their favorite toy or story. For an older guest of honor, choose a theme based on the person's hobbies or interest. For example, if you are planning to surprise your girlfriend, throw a party based on her favorite movie. You could instruct the guests to dress as characters from the film. Keep in mind that you'll also need to plan food, decorations, and activities around the theme. So if you're throwing a luau-themed party, try to throw the party at the beach or set up tropical decorations. Serve tiki drinks and set out leis for the guests. You can host the party almost anywhere. The location should be large enough to accommodate all of the guests. So if you want a big surprise party, you might want to rent a community hall. But if you're throwing a surprise party with a dozen people, you could easily have it at a nice restaurant.  For example, you can have the party at the honoree's house, at your place, at a restaurant, at a park, or anywhere you think your guest of honor wouldn't expect. If you'll be renting a space, learn about what sound systems are available and ask about their policies on food and decor. While you can throw the surprise party on the honoree's birthday, you might surprise them even more if you throw it a day or two in advance. You'll need to choose a time and date that works for most of the guests and you'll need to ensure that the honoree is also available.  Consider asking the honoree if they want to get together to hang out at the time you're thinking of planning the party. If they tell you they have other plans, you'll need to reschedule the party. Avoid throwing the surprise party after the person's actual birthday or they might think you forgot their big day. People expect food and drinks at a party. If you're doing a surprise party for kids, you can serve standard birthday party treats (such as punch, cookies, and cupcakes). For an adult birthday...

You may already have a calendar to keep up with your appointments and other commitments. Having a separate calendar for your bills can be very helpful. You may mark the dates for when the bill is due and the date you paid it.  Check your calendar at the beginning of each week to see what bills need to be paid. If you have bills that you are mailing in, you may want to mark the date that you need to have them in the mail. Many personal budgeting apps can help you organize your bills and pay them on time. Many of these apps require you to provide personal information, credit card information, and link to your bank account. Always check with the Better Business Bureau before you download an app and begin to use it.  Popular mobile apps include Toshl Finance, Money Lover, Prism, TaxCaster,  Mint, Goodbudget, HomeBudget, Wally, and Money Monitor.  Also check the features that each app offers. While many of these apps are free, some of the services are only for paying app users. Financial software is installed on your computer and can be used to track your expenses, budget, spending, bills, savings, investments, debt, etc. Look for software that is geared towards money management instead of tax preparation. There are many options available. Look for a software that meets your specific needs.  When you evaluate potential software, look for the features, the design of the pages, and the setup. It's important to backup your computer to an external hard drive when you use these programs. You do not want all of your data to be lost if your computer crashes. There are also free web-based financial software sites. These sites will host your data online and are a good option if you do not want to buy a program. You can also access your information using any computer.

TL;DR in English: Create a fiscal calendar. Use a mobile app. Use financial software.

By default, this is in the Utilities folder, located in the Applications folder. If a normal Force Quit doesn't work, you may need to use this method to end the program. The “top” command displays information about the applications that are currently running. Under the column titled "COMMAND", find the name of the application you wish to quit. The COMMAND list may use a truncated name for the program. Look for a name that looks similar to the program you are trying to close. Once you find the name of program, find the number to the immediate left of it, under the PID column. Make a note of the PID number. This will exit the list of applications and return you to the command line. Replace the "###" with the number from the PID Column you just located. For example: If you were trying to quit iTunes, and found iTunes to have PID number 3703, you would type "kill 3703". If the program does not respond to the “kill” command, type “sudo kill -9 ###”, replacing ### with the PID number. The application should quit and you can be relaunched.

Straighten a wire hanger. Call a locksmith.

Before you send your album through the necessary channels, you need to make sure that it is polished and presentable. Create album artwork for it, edit all the song titles, and add a description if necessary.  Selling your music on iTunes can be fairly simple even for amateur artists, but you will have a great deal of competition to deal with, and your odds of having success will improve vastly if you make sure that your songs are in top condition. If you have no experience with mastering and do not know how to polish the music up to commercial standards by yourself, hire an engineer or specialist to do it for you. Convert the files to WAV, set at a 44.1 kHz sample rate and 16 bit sample size. You can convert your audio files in iTunes by importing them to the library using the WAV encoder, set to custom settings. You also need cover artwork and complete track credits to submit before an online service will help you add your music to the iTunes store.  You must have rights to the artwork. Aim to make the cover image a JPG file set to 1,000 by 1,000 pixels. Before you can sell your album, it needs to have a UPC code.  Fortunately, obtaining one is pretty easy. You can obtain one by registering directly with the Uniform Code Council, or you can ask a CD manufacturer or distributor if they offer the service. The latter may prove to be a cheaper option. You can also get a UPC online through various online distributors like CD Baby or DiscMakers, and these tend to be even cheaper options. Working with Apple directly usually requires you to have a professional label backing you, or at least enough experience to prove that you are a professional. Even if you do not qualify to work with Apple directly, though, you can still work through a third party. If you weren't able to get through the previous step yourself, get in touch with an aggregator, or a third-party distributing service that allows you to finish and distribute your music for a small fee. Check the Apple iTunes application page for a list of approved...

TL;DR in English: Give your music a professional finish. Make sure that your music is properly formatted. Add the final touches. Get a UPC code. Review Apple's application. Find an Apple-approved aggregator (optional).

The following terms will be used throughout the examples, and are common in problems involving algebraic fractions:   Numerator: The top part of a fraction (ie. (x+5)/(2x+3)).  Denominator: The bottom part of the fraction (ie. (x+5)/(2x+3)).  Common Denominator: This is a number that you can divide out of both the top and bottom of a fraction. For example, in the fraction 3/9, the common denominator is 3, since both numbers can be divided by 3.  Factor: One number that multiples to make another. For example, the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15. The factors of 4 are 1, 2, and 4.  Simplified Equation: This involves removing all common factors and grouping similar variables together (5x + x = 6x) until you have the most basic form of a fraction, equation, or problem. If you cannot do anything more to the fraction, it is simplified. These are the exact same steps you will take to solve algebraic fractions.  Take the example, 15/35. In order to simplify a fraction, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, both numbers can be divided by five, so you can remove the 5 from the fraction:  15    →     5 * 335   →       5 * 7 Now you can cross out like terms. In this case you can cross out the two fives, leaving your simplified answer, 3/7. In the previous example, you could easily remove the 5 from 15, and the same principle applies to more complex expressions like, 15x – 5. Find a factor that both numbers have in common. Here, the answer is 5, since you can divide both 15x and -5 by the number five. Like before, remove the common factor and multiply it by what is “left.”15x – 5 = 5 * (3x – 1) To check your work, simply multiply the five back into the new expression – you will end up with the same numbers you started with. The same principle used in common fractions works for algebraic ones as well. This is the easiest way to simplify fractions while you work.  Take the fraction: (x+2)(x-3)(x+2)(x+10) Notice how the term (x+2) is common in both the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom). As such, you can...

TL;DR in English: Know the vocabulary for algebraic fractions. Review how to solve simple fractions. Remove factors from algebraic expressions just like normal numbers. Know you can remove complex terms just like simple ones.

To do this, kneel by the victim's head and hook your elbows under their shoulders, therefore sticking your arms under the person's back and armpits. Your head should be facing the victim's feet and you should have your feet planted on the ground so you can stand easily. Lift slowly, using your legs to support the person's weight. Avoid using the strength of your back to lift them or you may injure yourself. Raise them until their feet are just a foot or so away from being straightened into standing position and are still dragging on the ground a bit. This will help you get a firmer grip on the victim. Just move your weight to your right or dominant leg and stick it between the victim's legs for support. If your dominant leg is your left leg, use your left leg instead and follow the opposite of all of the positioning in the instructions. You should begin to do this as you place your right leg between the victim's legs. If your dominant leg is your right leg, then you should grab the victim's right hand with your left hand; if not, do the opposite. After you do that, you should drape the hand over your shoulder so you have more leverage, with your head planted under the their armpit and side. Keep your back as straight as possible when you do this. Place the victim's body over above your shoulders, so that their torso is relatively perpendicular to the ground. Try to distribute their weight as evenly as you can over your shoulders so that they don't tilt to one side. To do this, put your right arm between the victim's legs to reach behind his right knee. This will help you get a firmer grasp on the victim. Your left hand should still be holding on to the victim's right hand. Gripping the victim with both hands on his knee and arm will help you lift them. Keep your back straight. The left leg and arm of the person should now be hanging behind and the body should be supported by your shoulders. Hold onto the victim's right arm and leg with your right and left hands, respectively, as you stand up. Alternately, you...

TL;DR in English: Hook your elbows under the victim's armpits. Raise the victim to their feet. Place your right leg between the victim's legs. Grab the victim's right hand with your left. Squat down. Wrap your right arm around the back of the victim's right knee. Rise up and lift the victim's right thigh over your right shoulder. Move the victim.

This method will work best for vehicles with a vertical manual lock—meaning a lock that you pull up to unlock or push down to lock. These locks are usually at the top of the door panel just inside the window. This method requires a thin but rigid tool that you can feed between the weatherstripping around the bottom of the window and the glass itself. A wire coat hanger works well, but you must straighten it first. A universal unlock tool or a “slim jim” also work in this case if you’re prone to locking your keys in your car and want to keep one around for future occurrences. If you cannot seem to get any leverage by going beneath the window, you can always try one of the other methods, or you can simply call a locksmith. With the professional assortment of tools a locksmith will have available, they’ll have you back in your car within minutes.

TL;DR in English:


Get specific. Put yourself in your readers’ shoes. Stress the benefits of your product. Exclude any information that’s not relevant.

Trampolines need to air dry to complete the cleaning process. A trampoline should never be washed if the forecast predicts rain at any point during the day as this can inhibit the drying process. Mild cleaners work best for trampolines, as they minimize the risk of damage. Never use a cleaner with bleach or pumice, as this can harm your trampoline. Never rent a pressure washer to clean a trampoline. This can damage the fabric. If you don't have a hose, you can use buckets to wet the trampoline.

TL;DR in English: Clean your trampoline on a sunny day. Avoid products with bleach or pumice. Use a hose over a power washer.

Take both of your feet out of the stirrups, hold the reins in one hand, and swing off onto the left side of your horse. Put the reins over your horse’s head so that you’re holding them again, and roll up your stirrups and loosen your girth. When you untack your horse, you should first take off all the horse’s tack and put it to the side. Then, repeat the same grooming steps that you completed while you were tacking up your horse. If your horse is sweaty, you might need to rinse it off with a hose in an outdoor “wash stall.” You could also sponge off its back with a large wet sponge. However, since it is your first time riding, you should listen to what your instructor says. Different barns have different rules for taking care of their horses, so don’t be afraid to ask questions. Cleaning your horse’s tack is really important, especially if you’re sharing tack with other students or borrowing someone else’s tack. Put your saddle on a saddle rack, and hang your bridle up somewhere where you can easily clean it.  Find some saddle soap, a sponge, and a bucket of water. Rub the sponge on the saddle soap. Dip it into a little bit of water (less is more). Squeeze the sponge to rid it of excess water. Clean the leather parts of the saddle and bridle with the sponge. You should get all the dust and dirt off of your tack. Clean your horse’s bit (the part that goes in his mouth) with water. Scrub it with a wet toothbrush to clean off all the grass and debris that was in your horse’s mouth. Give your horse a carrot, an apple, or a horse treat. Make sure to give it to the horse with your palm flat so that it doesn’t nibble your fingers by mistake. Pet him again, especially if you had a good ride! Your instructor will help you lead your horse either back to its stall or to the pasture where it lives.

TL;DR in English: Dismount your horse. Groom your horse. Clean and put away your horse’s tack. Praise your horse.

If you only have a few crabs, using a nit comb to remove pubic lice and nits is one of the simplest and most cost effective treatments for the parasite.  The treatment is also time consuming as it can take up to 14 days to manually get rid of all lice and nits. It is very common to combine this technique with another natural treatment. Petroleum jelly suffocates the lice on your pubic hair. Apply petroleum jelly generously to the pubic area. Make sure that the jelly covers the base of the pubic hair to make it easier to remove nits with a nit comb. You may apply petroleum jelly as many times as needed to get rid of the lice and nits. Be aware that regular petroleum jelly should not be used to treat pubic lice and nits in the eyebrows or eyelashes because it can be very irritating to the eye. However, your doctor can prescribe an ophthalmic grade petroleum jelly that can be applied to the eyebrows and eyelashes. Trimming pubic hair as short as possible will increase the effectiveness of other treatments for pubic lice, whether natural, over-the-counter, or prescription. It is important to note that just shaving pubic hair is not an effective treatment for pubic lice, as they may simply relocate to other hairy areas of the body.

TL;DR in English: Comb your pubic hair. Apply petroleum jelly (Vaseline). Trim your pubic hair.

A brochure is a valuable, tangible piece of marketing material that is ultimately used to sell. Unlike a website, you have a limited amount of space on which to provide information. When writing a brochure be specific with what you are selling.   Don’t try to cover too many topics in one brochure. While a brochure can be used to highlight your overall offerings, it's often good to have multiple brochures. You should have a brochure for each individual product or service. For example, if you’re a company that builds beautiful custom rooms in people’s homes, like kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, you may have more success in your brochure if you only cover one room. Instead of offering a lot of broad information, you want your brochure to focus on one topic. Perhaps you write one brochure on only kitchens. Get specific to one room so you can explain every detail from the type of tile you offer to the colors of the cabinet handles. Pretend you’ve come across your own brochure. When looking at the front ask yourself what kind of information you would want to find inside. Write down and answer any questions you may have. You can use these in your brochure.  Identify your target audience. You want to think about where people will pick up this brochure. Who these people are. Are you writing your brochure to an individual consumer who is looking for a product or service? Or are you writing your brochure for a team of investors and board members? Your voice and tone and even the information you provide will be different based on who is going to be reading your brochure. If you’re writing about all the ways you can customize a kitchen to a potential customer, your tone may be more lighthearted and include more lifestyle information. Include info for options on materials and different builds. Focus on how what you offer will make your customers feel. You want to create content that the benefits you can provide. If you’re writing to more of a corporate crowd, or in a B2B (business to business) setting, you might want to...

Use a sharp knife to shave the beef into very thin slices. Cut the onion and shiitake mushrooms into moderately thin slices, as well.  To save yourself time and effort, ask the butcher to slice the beef very thinly before packaging it. If the butcher does not slice the beef, freeze it for 1 hour before slicing it yourself. Partially frozen meat is easier to cut than fully thawed meat. The slices of beef should be just a little thicker than cold cut lunchmeat is. This thinness is key. Beef that is too thick will not cook quickly enough. The slices of onion and mushroom should both be approximately 1/3 inch (1 cm) thick. Place the butter in a medium saucepan and set it on the stove. Heat over medium for a few minutes, just until the butter is completely melted. Add the sliced onions and sliced shiitake mushrooms to the melted butter. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes. The onion should become translucent and the shiitake mushrooms should feel notably tender. Add both alcohols to the saucepan. Cook for another 2 minutes. During this time, most of the actual alcohol should burn away, leaving only the flavor behind. Add the water, Dashi powder, soy sauce, sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the contents of the saucepan. Stir to combine. Allow the contents of the pan to reach a steady simmer before continuing. Place the thin slices of raw beef in the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 3 to 5 minutes.  Use cooking chopsticks or tongs to carefully separate the beef slices as they cook. Doing so can help prevent the beef from sticking together. This may seem like an abnormally short cooking time, but if the beef has been sliced to an adequately thin size, it should be plenty. Do not overcook the beef since it can easily become dry. Fill two serving bowls with freshly steamed white rice. Divide the gyudon evenly and spread it over the rice in both bowls. For an even more authentic experience, prepare Asian-style sticky rice or sushi rice instead of relying on instant rice. Top each...

You need to include a “works cited” page with your paper. This page lists the published material that you’ve used to write your paper. This might include a collection of Shakespeare’s works, a single volume with one play, or an anthology of several different authors’ works.  Depending on the citation style, the works cited page may be called a “bibliography” or a “references” page. Don’t just list the play that you’re citing. You need to indicate the publication in which the play appears. Alphabetize the works cited page. Sample entry for an anthology: Shakespeare, William. “The Comedy of Errors.” The Oxford Anthology of Tudor Drama. Ed. Greg Walker. Oxford, UK: Oxford U P, 2014. 682-722. Print.  Sample entry for a collection of a single author’s works: Shakespeare, William. Love Poems and Sonnets of William Shakespeare. New York: Doubleday, 1991. Print.

Take 15 minutes to write the essay. Use a hook in your introduction. Write your three body paragraphs. Summarize your thoughts in your conclusion.

Buckle the helmet onto your head and fasten the Velcro on your elbow and knee pads. When you ride a Ripstik, you can move at rather fast speeds and have the potential to fall and hurt yourself. To prevent hurting your head, arms, and legs, wear a helmet and protective padding. It’s also helpful to have a pair of sneakers with rubber soles. They help you stabilize your feet on the board. It is much easier to balance if you have a friend who can support your weight as you stand on the board. Grasp their shoulder as you get balanced, then let go of them when your footing feels secure. If you don’t have a friend, lean on a wall or railing to help you get on the board. To get started, find a flat paved surface to practice on. This can be a sidewalk, driveway, or empty parking lot, for instance. Place the RipStik on the ground so it rests on its side. The board should face you and the wheels should point away from you. Avoid riding through areas with cracks, speed bumps, water, and sand. Any of these may throw off your balance and cause you to fall. The front of the board is slightly more narrow, and this is called the “nose.” If your right foot is your dominant foot, place your left foot at the nose of the board. When you ride a RipStik, the nose must be facing forward.  Riding with your left foot in front is referred to as riding "regular." Riding "goofy" is when you ride with your right foot on the nose of the board. The larger end called the tail of the board. After one of your feet is centered on the nose, use your other foot to gain some momentum, and then square your foot on the center of the board. Move your foot in one quick motion so you can easily find your balance. At this point, both feet should be centered on each end of the board.  You’ll find that speed equals stability when riding a RipStik, so pushing with one of your feet will help you get balanced. If a friend is helping you, they can let go at this time. If you are struggling to maintain your balance, try pushing off with a bit more force and...

TL;DR in English: Put on a helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads to stay safe. Have a friend help you balance if you need help getting on the board. Put your RipStik on a smooth, flat surface. Place your non-dominant foot on the nose of the board. Push off with your dominant foot and place it on the tail. Reposition your footing if your feet are not centered. Maintain your balance as the board is moving. Step off the RipStik when you want to stop.

Take one of the 22.5 by 18.5 in (57 by 47 cm) rectangles and put it on the floor. This will be the base of your jump box. Then, put the 28 by 20 in (71 by 51 cm) pieces on opposite sides of the bottom rectangle with the 28 in (71 cm) sides going upwards and the 20 in (51 cm) sides on the part of the bottom rectangle that’s 18.5 inches (47 cm) long. Add the 28 by 22.5 in (71 by 57 cm) rectangles to the remaining sides of the bottom rectangle, with the 22.5 in (57 cm) side lined up with the 22.5 in (57 cm) edge of the bottom rectangle. If the wood doesn’t line up, you’ll have to go back and make cuts to change this. Apply Gorilla glue in a thick, even coat down the thin sides of the plywood. Work one piece at a time, then press the pieces together. Leave them to dry for 10-15 minutes before moving on to the next piece. Wipe off the excess glue that drips down the sides of the plywood as you wait. Place these wood screws about 5 inches (13 cm) apart and drill them into all 4 sides of the top and bottom piece of plywood. Then, drill wood screws about 5 inches (13 cm) apart along the left and right sides of the 28 by 22.5 in (71 by 57 cm) rectangles. The goal is to have screws connecting each piece of plywood to every piece of plywood that it’s touching. Though the Gorilla glue dried during application, give your box a few hours to fully set. Then, once the box feels sturdy, gently step on it to test it out. If it holds, lightly jump on it to ensure the box is safe, and not wobbly. The beauty of having a 28 by 24 by 20 in (71 by 61 by 51 cm) jump box is that it gives you 3 separate heights with which to work. You can start with 20 in (51 cm) box jumps and work your way up to the bigger heights with time and practice. This is an optional step, but one that give your jump box a professional look. Coat the box with an even spray, using whichever color you’d like. Once you’ve painted each side of the jump box once, add a second coat to each side to give your box a polished finish. Work in the garage or outside your...

TL;DR in English: Put the box together by hand to see if the pieces line up. Apply the glue to every edge that touches a different edge. Drill wood screws into the edges of the rectangles to connect the pieces. Let the box sit for 2 hours before testing it. Spray paint your jump box to decorate it.

Technically speaking, only certain kinds of bees, including honey bees, create beehives. Beehives are waxy (not made of paper-like material), can vary widely in size, and are usually built into an opening of an existing structure (like a tree or house).  Wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets, as well as bumblebees and carpenter bees, all build different kinds of nests that aren’t actually hives. Honey bee hives typically house 10,000-50,000 or more bees. Check a reliable online guide to help determine what type of bee or stinging insect you’re dealing with, and if the nest is in fact a beehive. Bee populations are currently in decline, for reasons that are not fully understood. So, if the bees in the hive are not bothering you, but are simply in the garden pollinating your flowers, leave them alone. They don't sting unless they feel threatened.  However, always call a professional if you're allergic to bee venom. If you’re allergic, a bee sting may cause swelling of the throat or lips, and can in rare cases be fatal. Likewise, if the beehive is attached to your home, you should always take action and have it removed. The bees will probably work their way into your home, and the expanding hive can cause major structural damage over time. Bees pollinate a large percentage of the food crops humans eat, along with thousands of varieties of flowering plants. So, unless you have a good reason to live without bees, try to learn to live with them. Because honey bee numbers are on the decline, local beekeepers may be willing relocate your hive to their beekeeping operation for free or a nominal fee. And, if they don’t provide that service themselves, they probably know of someone who does.  Look online or in a phone book. Search for beekeepers or apiaries in your local area. Ask at locally-owned markets or general stores—especially if they sell local honey—for leads on local bee wranglers or beekeepers. Call your local farmer’s market or plant nursery, as they probably deal with beekeepers. In some cases, you simply...

TL;DR in English: Confirm that you’re dealing with a beehive. Leave the beehive alone if the bees aren’t bothering you. Hire a beekeeper to relocate a troublesome hive. Call an exterminator if relocation or DIY removal aren’t viable options.

Now that you have your thesis statement and your outline, focus on composing content for each part of the essay. Try to spend two to three minutes on each body paragraph. Then, take three minutes on your conclusion paragraph and go back to your introduction. Spend the last three minutes revising your introduction so it matches the tone and perspective of the rest of your essay. There are several possible hooks you can use in your essay to draw your reader in.  An interesting or surprising example: This could be a personal experience or a key moment in the life of the historical figure you are discussing in your essay. For example, you may discuss Anthony’s childhood as a Quaker and her later adoption of more casual dress and growing interest in social reform at the age of 26.  A provocative quotation: This could be from a source you used for your essay or one that feels relevant to your topic. For example, you may use a well known quote from Anthony, such as: “Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences.”  A vivid anecdote: An anecdote is a very short story that carries moral or symbolic weight. Think of an anecdote that might be a poetic or powerful way to start your essay. A thought provoking question: create a question that will get your reader thinking and engaged in your topic. For example: “Did you ever wonder how women received the right to vote in the United States?” Focus on fleshing out each paragraph with at least one example of your main point. Sign-post each paragraph by beginning with a strong argumentative point that links to a supporting example of your main point. If you use an essay on Susan B. Anthony as an example:  Body paragraph 1: You may start by discussing...

An “I” statement is more likely to lead to a good outcome than starting your sentences with “You.” “You” statements tend to put people on the defensive. Work on phrasing anything you say to your mom so that it starts with “I.” For example, instead of saying, “You never let me have any time to myself,” you might say something like, “I am feeling a little stressed right now, so I would appreciate some time to myself.” If you ask your mom for something, and she says no, do not throw a temper tantrum. If you do, your mom will likely never change her mind. Instead, remain calm and explain your position. Your mom is more likely to understand your side if you communicate in a calm and rational manner. If you just walked in the door and your mom wants you to complete your chores immediately, you could respond by saying: "I need 30 minutes to unwind after school and then I will do my chores." This is more productive than starting a fight with your mom by refusing to do any chores. When you are having a conversation with your mom it is important that you actively listen to what she is saying. Try to make eye contact with her and don’t just look at your phone the whole time. This will cause her to become frustrated and will make it appear as though you are not trying to understand her position. Once you and your mom are able to communicate in a respectful manner and listen to the perspective of the other person, then you will likely be able to come to a compromise on a few key issues. A successful compromise will allow you both to feel as though you reached an appropriate solution.  For example, perhaps you could agree to clean your room if you are allowed to stay out with friends an hour later. Keep in mind that you may not always come to a compromise. If this happens, then work on a compromise for the next issue that comes up.

TL;DR in English: Use “I” statements. Remain calm. Listen to what she says. Try to find a compromise.

Most application forms will offer all of the important information on how the audition process will work. Look for any statements about dress codes, essential supplies, rules, and prerequisites. Be sure to follow every rule listed on your application to the best of your ability. Reach out to a choreographer or staff member if you’re unsure about anything listed on the application, or would like more clarification. There may occasionally be requirements that aren’t listed on the application. Ask if you will need to bring any extra documentation, such as a dance resume or photos. Some audition staff will require you to send your information as part of your initial application, especially if the audition is private. Others will want you to bring your own information directly to the audition. Some auditions will require a dance resume as part of your audition package. Write one out if you do not have one already. A dance resume should list your professional experience, education and credentials, and outstanding achievements. You should also include your email address, phone number, and name so the staff can reach out to you after the audition. You may also want to attach a dance photo. The staff may request a dance photo from all auditioners, especially if the audition is open to everyone. Most dance shots are of the dancer in action, posing in a way that best shows off their form and technique. The audition staff can refer to this photo as they decide on callbacks. Load up a backpack or tote bag with a few essentials, such as water bottles, a spare pair of dance shoes, elastic hair bands, and basic first aid supplies. These items will then be readily available to you on the off chance you need them.

TL;DR in English: Review your audition application thoroughly. Ask the audition staff about their rules if you’re confused. Compose your dance resume. Pack a bag of supplies.

You will know when something doesn't feel right. Even if your friend might feel okay about the situation, it might not be okay for you. Be strong and do what is right for you. Your friends will respect your choices, and those that don't respect your decisions are people you don't want to have in your life to begin with. Remember that your opinion and feelings matter, even if they go against the group. You should never be ashamed of not wanting to drink or do drugs. Just because your friends may be ready to have sex doesn't mean you are ready - and there is nothing wrong with that. You are an individual, and you matter. Never let anyone make you feel less than that or question what you believe is right. Every person is an individual who enjoys different things. You don't have to do the things your friends or peers do. Maybe you like comic books while they like basketball, or maybe you like swimming while they like video games. Be confident in the things that you like and do things that make you happy. Spend your time engaging in healthy activities that you are passionate about.  Doing activities that you like can help you avoid peer pressure. If you are giving in to peer pressure, you are consenting to participate in activities that you are uncomfortable doing. These activities are probably not healthy for you, otherwise you wouldn't feel bad about doing them. Have the confidence to know what you like and what you don't. Keep your focus on the activities you like. Don't confuse this with not trying new things. Just because you don't like sports doesn't mean you shouldn't go to the park and kick around a soccer ball with your friends. Focusing on what you enjoy and your interests can help you be more self-assured, which will make resisting peer pressure easier. Maybe it's playing an instrument or a new sport. Maybe it's spending time outside, or starting a collection. The reason peer pressure works is because sometimes you feel like being accepted by your friends is the most important thing in the world. If you...

TL;DR in English: Trust your gut. Make yourself happy. Try something new. Make your opinions known. Identify troubling or triggering situations. Don't allow people to make you feel bad about yourself.

so it’s easier to breathe. Poor posture compresses your lungs and airways, making it harder for you to breathe. Improve your posture by straightening your spine when you’re sitting or standing. Additionally, roll your shoulders back and tilt your chin up. This may help you breathe better. Look in the mirror to check out your posture. Practice standing or sitting up straight until it feels natural to you. You may struggle to breathe while you're lying down, especially at night. If this happens, use pillows or a wedge to prop up your upper body. This will take some of the pressure off your lungs so you can breathe better while you sleep. You might also try putting a folded blanket under your pillow. Air pollution can affect your lungs and airways, making it harder for you to breathe. While you might not be able to avoid all air pollution, you can reduce your exposure to it. Here are some ways to avoid exposure to common air pollutants:  Avoid spending time outdoors around pollutants. Stay away from allergens. Don’t use perfumes and colognes. Stop using air fresheners. Pick fragrance-free personal care products and cleaners. Avoid burning candles or incense. Clean your home often to prevent dust and mold. Step away when someone is smoking to avoid second-hand smoke. If you're sensitive to a food you're eating, it may cause holes in your intestines that allow bacteria and food particles to escape into your body. This triggers inflammation and illness in your body as it tries to fight off the invaders. The inflammation can cause breathing issues and allergies. To help you heal, do an elimination diet to improve your gut health. Eliminate common food allergies like milk, gluten, eggs, soy, sugar, nuts, and caffeine for 3-4 weeks. Once you start to feel better, add the foods back 1 at a time to see if they affect you. Stop eating any foods that make your symptoms return. Unfortunately, the air inside your home may be full of indoor air pollutants. This can irritate your lungs and make it harder for you to breathe...

On a fake pair of Yeezys, the stitching is a messy criss-cross. The real ones have neat stitching that creates an “X” on both sides with a square separating them. Fake Yeezys could have any number of dots, but real Yeezys have exactly 9 in the center box.  The dots outside the rectangle don't count. On fake Yeezys, the stripes look like they've been printed on. A quick way to verify the shoe’s authenticity is by judging the material. A fake pair of Yeezys has a softer fabric, making it easy to identify as a counterfeit. The shoe’s tongue is another dead giveaway regarding its realness. A fake pair of Yeezy's soft material makes the tongue slouchier, while a real pair stands straight up.

TL;DR in English: Look for messy stitching. Count the red dots on the heel tab. See how the stripes on the inside of the heel tab blend in. Check the material’s quality.

Tests, quizzes, and projects fall into the category of summative assessments. These are formally graded assignments and are the main way teachers evaluate student learning. Formative assessments, such as homework, are the tools teachers use to develop required skills and knowledge. Since they're opportunities to learn from mistakes, avoid formally grading homework assignments.  Give credit for completing homework assignments, but don't count wrong answers against their grade. Factor their overall homework score into their final grade. For instance,  they completed 38 of 40 assignments, and homework is 20% of their final grade, they get 19 out of 20 points. and projects without reading students’ names. Grading anonymously helps eliminate conscious and subconscious biases. It’s tough to grade handwritten assignments blindly, but you should still do your best to stick to anonymous grading. Blind grading techniques include covering students’ names, having them write their names on the backs of assignments, and having them write assigned ID numbers instead of their names. Start by sampling about a quarter of essay tests or research papers. If you’ve collected 25 essays, skim 5 or 10. This will help you get a feel for the quality range of the assignment you’re grading. For essay tests, read and grade the first essay on all the tests, then grade the second essay. For other test formats, grade each section 1 at a time. Grading item-by-item will help you keep each section’s criteria fresh in mind.

TL;DR in English: Use graded assignments to assess and ungraded work to develop skills. Grade tests Read a few assignments before you grade if the rubric is subjective. Grade tests 1 essay or section of problems at a time.

" In this method, we use the airflow from a fan to cause a fake fabric "flame" to billow and blow. The size of your flame will depend on the desired size of your fake fire or the space limitations of your fireplace. Taking these measures into account, cut flames accordingly. When it comes to cutting flames, you have several options. You may want to cut many thin strands of fabric to give your fire a thin, "wisp-y" appearance, or, alternatively, you may want to cut a flat flame-shaped sheet for a more robust look. You can even create a 3-dimensional flame by using a tented piece of fabric open at the bottom -- however, if you do this, be sure to cut several holes at the top for the air to pass through or you'll have a "fat", stationary flame. Now that you know your fire works as intended, it's time to give it the appearance of a real fire instead of a fan-powered contraption. For instance, you might try placing logs over and around the flames. You might also want to spread fake ashes and burnt debris over and around the fire.  If you don't have real logs at your disposal, don't worry - you can make fake lightweight logs by cutting pool noodles into short sections and wrapping these in construction paper. Another good idea is to mimic the appearance of "coals" by piling a string of LED or Christmas-style lights beneath the fire. The effect is best if you can find red or orange lights or if you put a layer of red or orange cellophane over the lights.

TL;DR in English: Cut your "flames. Conceal your fan and lights.

Get a generous amount of wax on your fingers. Run it through your roots with your fingertips, which will help with volume, and hit the pieces that float around your face. Finish the ends off with gel, which will help prevent flyaways. Start with blow-dried hair for this process. Separate your hair into sections, and begin applying the wax throughout the hair. Use a generous amount, as you want your hair pretty much soaked in the wax. Gels have too much water in them. They'll make your hair spring back to curls. Start with a leave-in conditioner. Spritz it in to your hair and work it in lightly with your fingers. Add a generous amount of gel to help keep your curls sleek. Use your fingers to work the gel into your hair in sections. For curls that are even more defined, try twisting small strands of hair around your fingers. For a wet ponytail look, comb the pomade in section by section until you've covered all of the hair. Pomade also works on curly hair because it flattens the curls out as you comb it through. If you want to leave your hair down but create a sleek look at the top, work the pomade into the roots with your fingers. Use a fine-tooth comb to work the pomade through the hair, stopping about midway down.

Sometimes it may be hard to get into a book, even if you have a comfy spot, good lighting, and no distractions. If there aren’t any immediate time constraints, consider putting down the book and coming back to it at a later time. Try to choose a more relaxing time to revisit the book. For instance, you may find that you are better able to focus early in the morning, after working out, or when all your chores or tasks are done for the day. Your brain absorbs the unfolding of the story and information better when you read paper books. This is because you can observe the thickness of the book and use your body to interact with it (turning the pages, for example) while reading. If you prefer e-readers, that’s okay too! However, if you are struggling to understand books, try reading a paper one and take note of any changes that occur in your comprehension. When you get to the end of a chapter or section of a book, stop and ask yourself if you understand the major themes and events. If you recall what happened and have a good understanding, feel free to proceed. If you don’t, though, you should refresh your memory by going back over the previous pages, chapters, or sections. Keep a notebook next to you while you read. Use several different pieces of paper to keep track of main characters or key terms, major plot points, big-picture questions, and things that confuse you. You can refer to these notes later to remember what the book was about. This is especially helpful for academic texts. When reading a book for pleasure, however, frequently stopping can disrupt the flow of your reading. Talking about books is a great way to really understand them. Other people may notice things you didn’t, and vice versa. Talk to your friends or go to your local library to join or organize a club. You can also find book clubs and forums for discussion online.

TL;DR in English: Make sure you’re in the right frame of mind to focus. Pick paper books over e-readers for better understanding. Check your knowledge of what has happened before moving onto a new section. Take good notes while you read. Join a book club to have group discussions.

Using a 180-grit nail file and 240-grit nail file, smooth the edges of the sculpted nail to even out any inconsistencies.  Start with the 180-grit file, then work over the side walls of the nail. Once the sides look good, file down the free edge. Swap to your 240-grit file and work over the surface of the nail. Sand away any uneven lumps in the artificial nail surface. Tilt the 240-grit file slightly and continue working over the surface of the nail to perfect the contour. Use a clean nail brush to wipe away any dust when finished. Apply a non-cleansing gel sealer over the finished nail, then cure the sealer under heat for two minutes.  Brush a thin layer of the seal over the entire nail just as you would apply a top coat of polish. Start at the cuticle, then gradually work down toward the free edge. Place the nail beneath an LED heat lamp for two minutes to allow the sealer to cure. Note that some sealers may require more or less curing time, so it's best to check the label instructions before proceeding. Dab a small bead of cuticle oil onto the center of the nail. Use your fingers to rub the oil over the nail and into your cuticles. You only need a small droplet of oil for each nail. It should help condition your cuticles while giving the artificial nail a slight shine. This step completes the first sculpted nail. Repeat the sculpting process until all nails are evenly decorated. You can prepare your natural nails all at once, but the actual sculpting and finishing portions of the process must be completed one-by-one.

TL;DR in English: File into the final shape. Seal the nail. Apply cuticle oil to the nail. Examine the finished nail and repeat as needed.

Words like dextrose, fructose, high fructose corn syrup and “natural flavors” often indicate added sugar. Always check for hidden sugars in prepared sauces and salad dressings. ” These foods may still contain a significant amount of sugar. Read the nutrition information label to find out how many carbohydrates are in the product. Eat fruit that is canned in water, not syrup. If a product contains more than 5 grams of sugar alcohols, then the sugar alcohol may affect your blood sugar levels. Every gram of sugar exceeding 5 grams should count as 1/2 carbohydrate. While food labels often show the number of grams of sugar in a product, you should be most concerned with the net carb count. Other carbs besides sugars have an equally significant effect on blood sugar. Even though these sweeteners are natural, they still contain sugars that will affect your blood glucose.

TL;DR in English: Read ingredient labels carefully to find hidden sugars. Be wary of labels such as “sugar free,” “reduced sugar” or “no added sugar. Watch canned fruit. Use caution when consuming sugar alcohols. Count net carbs instead of sugar. Limit honey and maple syrup.

The Better Business Bureau website includes a verification process that you can use to validate your selected website. Note that the Better Business Bureau is geared toward matching businesses with your provided website. If you're simply trying to see if the website is safe, use the Google Transparency Report.   For best results, copy and paste the exact URL into this field.  While this isn't mandatory, doing so will narrow your search. If you don't know your business' geographic location, skip this step.  You can verify your website's credibility by comparing the Better Business Bureau's results with the website's claims.  For example, if your website claims to sell shoes but the Better Business Bureau links the URL to an ad revenue service, you know that the site is a scam. However, if the Better Business Bureau results line up with the site's theme, you can probably trust the site.

Cut off the end of the rectangle. Measure and cut 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) sections across the rectangle. Stack the strips until you are ready to use them.

The first time you mention someone, include their full name (e.g., “Shannon Murnan will become the COO of Toys, Unlimited.”). For subsequent mentions, use their last name only (e.g., “Murnan has 20 years of experience with the company and is prepared to take over day-to-day operations.”). Avoid using fancy fonts or lettering and stylistic additions. Keep your press release simple and straightforward. Type it in Times New Roman font, and single-space the text. Though it may seem like a small detail, you should only use one space after punctuation, rather than two. Editors notice small details, and too many little errors can get your press release sent to the trash. The numbers one through nine should be spelled out, while numerals are used for 10 and above. This goes for cardinal (1, 2, 3, etc.) as well as ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) numbers.  For example, “On Saturday, 250 people attended the ninth annual historical pageant.” You should use figures to indicate time, such as “6 p.m.” rather than “six o’clock.” The Oxford, or serial, comma is used before the word “and” to separate items or phrases in a list. The Associated Press style doesn’t use the Oxford comma, so take care not to add it to your press release. For example, write “Designers Jay Hall, Katie Button and Taylor Sullivan will show their collections on Sunday.” This is opposed to “Designers Jay Hall, Katie Button, and Taylor Sullivan will show their collections on Sunday.”

TL;DR in English: Include a person’s full name on the first mention only. Use single-spaced Times New Roman font. Put one space after punctuation. Write out numbers smaller than 10. Avoid using the Oxford comma.

The mark of a too-cool-for-school hipster with fashionably obscure tastes is the music he listens to. Keeping your personal playlists packed with little-known bands, niche genres, and rare recordings is a must if you're looking to gain a reputation as someone with a knack for the obscure. Try to listen to bands and artists that the people you know are unfamiliar with — the smaller and less well-known the act, the better.   You don't have to download un-listenable amateur garbage to get a taste for obscure music. If you're trying to transition from mainstream music to more obscure artists, start by browsing the latest reviews at online sites associated with "hipsterdom", like Pitchfork.com, Avclub.com, and independent music blogs to get ahead of the curve when it comes to good obscure music. For bonus hipster points, try to get the albums of your favorite obscure bands and artists on vinyl. Another way to show that you have a taste for the obscure is to develop a love for little-known cinematic gems. For instance, hosting a screening of the latest release from your favorite indie director or introducing your friends to under-appreciated cult classics can give you a reputation as a connoisseur of the obscure. Having this interest also gives you something to talk about with others, since almost everyone likes movies (think along these lines: "Hey, you like Tarantino? You'd love Sergio Corbucci's The Great Silence).   Unfortunately, indie and arthouse films usually don't have big advertising budgets, so if you're not looking for them, they can complete their theatrical runs before you're even aware of them. Try subscribing to the email newsletter at a local arthouse theater or browsing online movie review sites with an indie focus (like, for instance, Thedissolve.com) to stay abreast of the latest in obscure cinema. You may also want to try attending film festivals. Small indie films are often screened at festivals before they are picked up for wide distribution. Additionally, some films from particularly unknown...

TL;DR in English: Listen to obscure music. Watch obscure movies. Read obscure literature. Enjoy obscure food. Dress in obscure fashions. Have obscure friends.

Before you do anything else near a gas fireplace insert, locate the shutoff valve that controls the gas to your entire home. This is usually a valve located between the main gas pipe and the first appliance, and it’s known as a house-side shutoff valve. It should have a lever that you can close with a quarter of a turn.  There is usually a valve located just before the meter that must be opened and closed with a wrench. This is known as a street-side valve, and should only be operated by someone from the gas company.  Some homes, especially older ones, do not have a house-side valve.  In this case, call the gas company and have them turn off your gas for you. You may have to remove bricks, drywall, or framing from around the insert in order to expose the whole thing. A crowbar should help you pry the trim loose, although you may need to break it into pieces with a sledgehammer before you can remove it. To dismantle the gas line, it’s best to call a professional plumber with a gas fitter’s license. However, if you are going to attempt this yourself, use an adjustable or crescent wrench to unscrew the gas line from the fireplace insert before you move the insert. Since the gas should already be turned off, there's no need to cap the gas line until after you have removed the insert. In addition to protecting your floor from becoming damaged, having carpet or blankets on the floor will help the insert slide easily across the floor when you move it.  Remember that whatever you use beneath the fireplace insert is likely to get stained or torn. Choose a piece of carpet that's at least 5 foot (1.5 m) longer and wider than the insert. You'll need the overlap so you'll have something to grab onto when you're moving the insert. For the best protection, it should be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. You may need a friend to help you move the fireplace insert, since they are usually very heavy. Remember to always lift with your knees, and avoid twisting or leaning backwards as you lift so you don't injure your back.  You...

TL;DR in English: Turn off the gas to the house at the main valve. Use a crowbar to remove any trim around the insert. Disconnect the gas line from the insert after you have removed the trim. Lay a piece of carpet or a stack of old blankets in front of the fireplace. Carefully wiggle the insert out of its place and onto the carpet. Wrap a brass gas line cap in Teflon tape. Screw the brass cap into your gas line after you’ve removed the insert. Check for gas leaks by spraying your cap with soapy water. Vacuum or sweep to clean up after removing the insert.

Place your clear ruler across the shorter area of the rectangle so that it is about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the edge. Then, run the rotary cutter along the edge of the ruler to cut this 0.5 in (1.3 cm) strip off of the rectangle. After you remove the end piece, turn the piece of fabric around and begin cutting 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) sections all the way across the rectangle. You can make your strips smaller or larger if desired by increasing or decreasing the width of the strips. Make sure to cut across the shortest portion of the rectangle. In other words, cut width-wise, not lengthwise. After you cut the strips, stack them up and tie them with the first 0.5 in (1.3 cm) piece of fabric that you cut. This will keep the bias binding strips together until you are ready to use them.

TL;DR in English:
