A mature relationship is free of judgments and unrealistic expectations, so you'll have to stop trying to change your partner. Committing means letting go of the idea that you are right and your partner is wrong. It's rarely either—you're just different. Show maturity by accepting and respecting those differences.  Give yourselves permission to keep being individuals because you'll only resent your partner if you give up your own opinions, interests, and goals for the relationship. For instance, don't work so hard to convince your partner to like your favorite types of music or food. The fact that you both have varying tastes keeps the relationship interesting and vibrant. While it's okay to disagree about small things, like how to launder darks, the two of you will be happier if you are on the same page about the big things. Your personal values—honesty, family, charity—should be similar or at least complementary.  Sit down and have a conversation about the important topics to come to an agreement. Mature partners know where their significant others stand on important issues like major career goals, whether you want to get married, whether you want kids, and where you want to live. You may not exactly agree, but you should be knowledgeable about your partner's values. If you do disagree about your partner's stance on major issues, like politics and religion, ask yourself if you can agree to disagree, or if this is a dealbreaker for you. Commitment in modern relationships means different things to different couples. Do you and your partner plan to be mutually exclusive in the relationship or are you okay with a more open, fluid relationship?  Have a conversation with your partner about what each of you wants in terms of long-term commitment. Others, such as friends and family, may not agree with your definition of commitment, but all that matters is that the two of you agree.

TL;DR in English: Allow your partner to live their truth. Explore the overlap in your core values. Define commitment for yourselves.

After at least 12 hours, wipe away the baking soda paste and grime from your oven surfaces. Use a damp dish cloth to remove this solid residue as best as possible.  You can use a plastic or silicone spatula to gently remove paste that may have become hardened or stuck in a hard-to-reach place.  Don't worry about getting oven surfaces completely clean and dry in this step. Focus on removing the built-up food and residue and most of the baking soda paste. Spray down the oven surfaces with water and wipe away any remaining residue of food stains or baking soda with a damp or dry cloth. You can also spray white vinegar for this step before wiping down.  If using vinegar, spray it lightly onto any areas that have some remaining  baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly from the resulting chemical reaction. Make sure to remove all signs of baking soda as best as possible before using your oven again. Baking soda left in contact with a heating element tends to smoke badly when the oven is turned on. Apply more baking soda and water/vinegar to let sit if stubborn stains still persist after the first application. You can apply baking soda to just the location of the stain if necessary.  You can try applying baking soda directly to a wet sponge or other scrubbing material to rub right on the stain for removal. If scrubbing is unsuccessful, re-treat with the baking soda paste overnight. Use another oven cleaning product if you wish, but the combination of baking soda, water, and 12+ hours to sit is typically effective for nearly all stubborn oven stains.

TL;DR in English: Wipe residue away with a damp cloth. Spray and wipe surfaces again. Repeat the process if necessary.

Brake shoes are similar to brake pads, except shoes are on drum-style brakes. The signs that shoes need replacing are the same as when pads need replacing. Usually the shoes make a screeching, metallic sound to indicate they're worn down. Take the car to a mechanic to have the shoes replaced, or do it yourself if you know how. Worn-out brake shoes may also pull the car to one side when you press the pedal down. If your brake pads are all worn-down on one side but look new on the other, then the likely culprit is your caliper. An old caliper leans to the side and puts uneven pressure on the pads. Eventually, this reduces the brake effectiveness. If you see uneven wear on your brake pads, have your calipers replaced.  Fluid sometimes leaks from worn-out calipers as well. This could cause a brake fluid leak. Replacing brake calipers is a big job. If you don't think you have enough skill to do it yourself, let a professional do the job. The brake rotors are the areas that pads press against. When the rotor is worn-out, its shape warps and the pads press down unevenly. This results in shaking and wobbling when you press the pedal down. If you've noticed the problem, you may need new rotors.  If the rotors are bad, the car will shake at any speed when you hit the brakes. The shaking will also happen consistently when you hit the brakes. If it only happened once, you may have been on uneven ground.

TL;DR in English: Replace the brake shoes if your drum brakes are screeching. Get new brake calipers if your brake pads show uneven wear. Install new brake rotors if your car wobbles while it's stopping.

Clap above the cup again. Make sure you are still about six inches above the cup. However, this time, just clap once. Grasp the bottom of the cup with your right hand. Pick the cup up to hover about two to three inches above the table. Try to make an audible sound when grasping the cup. Move the cup about three inches to the right. Set the cup down, making another audible noise. The cup should still be rim down.

Spread your cat’s food on a flat plate or pan. Try a puzzle feeder. Squish wet food down at the bottom of your cat’s food bowl. Put a golf ball in the middle of your cat’s food bowl. Use a food bowl with a built in lump in the middle. Buy an automatic feeder.

If you forget someone’s name but you need to introduce the person to your friend, you can be completely honest and claim you have a brain fog. Apologize for forgetting the person’s name and then say your brain is so foggy from dealing with all the appointments you have that day. Most people understand that a busy schedule and stress can make your brain foggy, so using this as the reason you’ve forgotten someone’s name is a legitimate reason. If you’ve forgotten someone’s name, a good way to get the person to say it is to introduce a friend of yours. Find a friend nearby and say, “Hey, I’d like to introduce you to my friend.” Say your friend’s name first and then wait to have the other person finish the introduction. For example say, “I’d like to introduce you to my friend Katie Gellar”, and the person should respond by saying something like, “Hi Katie, My name is Melanie Smith”. You can find out the name of a person by getting the person’s contact information. You can ask the person to put the information in your cell phone, and then glance at the new contact listing before putting your phone away. Another way to find out the person’s name is to ask for the person’s business card. Many people carry business cards with them which include their name and contact information. Tell the person you want to keep in touch and ask for a business card. Ask the person to spell their name to make sure you get it right.

TL;DR in English: Claim a brain fog. Introduce a friend to the person. Ask them for their contact information.

Unfortunately, oak mite bites can be especially itchy. You can even develop a rash! However, scratching can break the skin, increasing your risk of a bacterial infection. If you do break the skin, you should see your doctor. Calamine lotion can help with itching, which gives you relief and helps limit scratching. Wash your skin and hands, then shake the bottle. Apply a small amount to a cotton swab and dab it onto the bites or rash. Continue to apply lotion until the entire affected area is covered. Let the lotion dry before putting on your clothing.  Talk to your doctor before applying calamine lotion on children under the age of 12. You should also speak to your doctor if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Be sure to follow all directions on the bottle, including dosage instructions. You can reapply the lotion every few hours, as needed. You can purchase 1% hydrocortisone cream over-the-counter. This will help with itching. Wash your hands and clean the affected area. Then rub a small amount of hydrocortisone cream into the bites or rash.  Use the smallest dose possible and wait at least 4 hours before reapplying the cream.  If the cream doesn't relieve your itch, you may need something stronger. Your doctor can prescribe a stronger treatment. Do not apply the cream to a child under the age of 12 without talking to a doctor. Make sure that you follow all of the directions on the bottle. An antihistamine can reduce the reaction that your body has to the bites. This can reduce the itching, redness, and possible rash. You can use an over-the-counter option, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or a non-drowsy alternative, such as cetirizine (Zyrtec) or loratadine (Claritin).  Follow the dosage instructions on the packaging, as they vary. For example, some antihistamines may be taken every 4 hours, but others are taken once a day. Talk to your doctor before taking an antihistamine, especially if you're already on medication. An oatmeal bath can soothe itchy skin, giving you all over comfort. Fill the bathtub with...

TL;DR in English: Avoid scratching the bites. Use calamine lotion to soothe the affected skin. Apply hydrocortisone cream to your bites. Take an antihistamine after talking to your doctor. Take an oatmeal bath if a large area is affected.

To ensure your cat takes her time when she eats, pour her dry food on a flat surface, like a plate or a baking pan. This will force her to eat only a few pieces of dry food at a time and take smaller bites of her food. You can make or buy a puzzle feeder for your cat, which has the added bonus of providing mental stimulation. Your cat will need to work to get her food from the puzzle. This will prevent her from binge eating as the food will be dispensed in small amounts. You can purchase a puzzle feeder or make one by gluing cardboard tubes together in a grid and putting a few kibbles in each tube. One such feeder is a plastic ball with holes. You can put dry food inside the ball, and your cat can then play and try to eat the food as it falls through the holes. This will prevent her from binge eating and encourage her to use her hunting skills to get her meals. This will make your cat eat more slowly because she cannot simply scarf down her food. Instead, she has to practice lapping up her food slowly and swallowing before she can take another bite. An obstruction, like a golf ball or a ping pong ball, can force your cat to slow down when she eats as she will need to pause while eating to move the obstruction or eat around the obstruction. Make sure you use an object that your cat cannot swallow, like a golf ball or a ping pong ball. Many pet stores sell food bowls made for cats and dogs that have one big lump in the middle or several small lumps. These food bowls will help your cat get used to eating more slowly and to take smaller bites of food. An automatic feeder is set up so that as an owner you have control over how much your cat eats with the simple press of a button. Many feeders can be set on digital timers so you know exactly how much food your cat is getting at one time. There are also measurements on the feeder to help you determine how much food your cat will receive and to prevent over or under feeding your cat. You can set the feeder so your cat receives smaller portions of food throughout the...

If you've never disassembled your faucet before, you may not know what kind of washer you need. If you don't already have a replacement on hand, take the parts you removed to a hardware store. Find an exact match for each part.   You may be able to find a repair kit for your particular faucet instead of hunting down the o-rings and washer individually. If you're unsure where to look at the hardware store, ask an employee to help. You can simply slip the washer in place. From here, you're basically working in reverse order. The washer should fit the same as the one you removed. Make sure you place the washer in the exact same position as the original one. Either screw the stem back on, or place it back over the washer. Then, place the screw you removed back in place using your Phillips head screwdriver or allen wrench. Make sure you tighten the screw to get the stem secure. If you removed the handle, put it back in place before placing the screw back in place. This the easiest part of the process. You simply snap the cap back on. Now, your faucet should no longer leak. You can turn the water back on and run your faucet. Once the cap is in place, turn the water valve counter clockwise to switch the faucet back on.

TL;DR in English: Get replacement parts from a hardware store. Insert the new washer. Reassemble the stem. Put the cap back in place and turn on the water.

The rectus abdominis (your "six pack" muscle) stretches from the bottom of your chest down to your pelvis. Though many work out the upper and middle portions of this muscle with sit-ups and crunches, for a strong, defined V cut, it's best to include workouts that hit the lower abs as well. A varied lower ab routine, in addition to building strength and definition in the region, can build overall core strength and reduce the risk of back pain. Below are some examples of lower ab exercises that can help you work on that V cut.

TL;DR in English: Hit your lower ab region with a variety of exercises.

Do not say anything to egg them on (including threats, racist words, or sarcastic comments). This could escalate the fight, and your goal is to end the fight altogether. If their friends are there, they could end up using your words against you. Or, if the fight persists, the opponent could end up winning and then those words would come back to haunt you. If their friends or allies join the fight and you are outnumbered, try to run and defend yourself while sprinting off. Keep careful watch on the body language of everyone there, so that you can be ready to react with fast reflexes. Dodge any objects that they may try to throw at you. Call for help if needed. Certain people are just plain cruel, and avoiding them altogether could be the best plan. Steer clear of areas where a bully usually hangs out, and instead find a new route to get where you need to go. You are not cowardly for wanting to avoid confrontation and maintain peace in your life. Do not get carried away in the fight, and never try to cause permanent physical harm to another person. Do not aim for their face, for instance. Do not use objects to fight; simply use your hands to defend yourself. Once you have protected yourself from harm, retreat from the fight. You can certainly use objects as a shield, such as holding up a book to block blows. However, you will lose the respect of your peers if you use such objects against your opponent and the odds become uneven and unfair.

If you are experiencing severe, chronic, or persistent neck pain it is a good idea to discuss this with a medical professional. Your doctor can examine you, assess any other symptoms, and take x-rays to help determine what’s going on. If your doctor thinks you should see a specialist--such as a physical therapist, osteopath, or chiropractor--they can refer you to another physician they trust. Your doctor may recommend using ice or heat therapy. While ice therapy is good for recent injuries, it's best to use it short term. Heat can help relieve chronic pain and muscle tension, so you may want to try a microwaveable neck wrap. A professional massage is an excellent way to reduce stress, release tension, and help your neck feel better. Make an appointment with a massage therapist ahead of time. When you show up for your massage, let the therapist know that your neck is bothering you, so they can focus on that area of your body. You might try:  Swedish massage, for general relaxation and release Deep tissue massage, for deep knots and muscle tension Sports massage, to address injuries A physical therapist will examine your body and evaluate your movements to determine what it going on with your neck. They will guide you through a series of exercises to help strengthen your muscles and address underlying issues. You’ll also be asked to perform some movements at home. It is a good idea to get a referral from your physician for a good physical therapist. Acupuncture involves the insertion of tiny needles into specific locations in the body. Although it may seem strange, acupuncture has been proven effective at treating and managing neck pain.. Make an appointment with a licensed acupuncturist in your area, and give this traditional medical approach a try.

When you're directing you're going to need to know the different kinds of shots and camera angles and camera movements so that you know how to shoot each scene and what you're trying to get from each scene. Different angles and types of shots change the feel of a scene.  Framing (or shot length): extreme long shot (usually an establishing shot, from as much as a quarter mile away), long shot (this is a "life size" shot that corresponds with the distance between audience and screen in a cinema; it focuses on the characters and the background images), medium shot (this is usually used for dialogue scenes or a close-up on a certain action and usually contains 2 to 3 characters from the waist up), close up (this shot concentrates on a face or object with the background as a blur, usually used to get into the mind of a character), extreme close up (usually focuses on one specific detail like a mouth or eyes, usually used for some sort of dramatic effect). Camera angle designates the relationship between the camera and whatever is being shot and gives emotional information to the audience about the object or character in the shot. Bird's eye view (shows a scene from directly overhead, putting the audience in a god-like position, as well as making normal things unrecognizable), high angle (this has the camera above the action using a crane and gives a sort of overview of what's going on), eye level (this is a more neutral angle with the camera acting as another human observing the scene), low angle (tends to make the audience feel a sense of powerlessness, or confusion and as it is looking up at an object it can inspire fear or disorientation), oblique/canted angle (used in lots of horror films, this shot inspires a sense of imbalance, transition, and instability). Camera movements make the action seem slower rather than the quick cuts, but it can also have a more "realistic" effect. Pans (scans a scene horizontally), tilts (scans a scene vertically), dolly shots (also known as tracking/trucking shots, where the...

TL;DR in English: Know the different types of shots and camera angles. Come in at call time. Rehearse the shot. Set up the shot. Film the shot. Review the take.

You will 7 Iron Ingots in order to craft a Cauldron. You can find Iron Ingots in Fortresses and Dungeons, and Iron Golems drop them, but you may find it easier to craft them yourself from Iron Ore. You will need a Stone Pickaxe or better in order to break Iron Ore blocks. You can find Iron Ore underground, and it is one of the most common metals. It can usually be found between layers 1 - 63, and will be in a vein of 4 - 10 blocks. If you want to make the ingots yourself, you'll need a furnace to smelt the Iron Ore. Place 8 Cobblestone blocks around the edges of the Crafting window to make the furnace. You can use any type of Fuel when making Iron Ingots. Lava Buckets, Coal, and Charcoal make for the most efficient fuels, but you can also use Wood Blocks, any object made from wood (crafting table, chair, etc.), and saplings. After a few moments, an Iron Ingot will appear in the box on the right. Repeat until you have 7 Iron Ingots. More efficient fuel will allow you to craft your ingots much quicker.

Modern water softeners can go without cleaning for 5–10 years. Clean them only if your water has turned hard and the basic maintenance above doesn't fix the problem within a couple days. Older models (especially electric ones) can benefit from an annual cleaning. Use the bypass valve to shut off water intake. Siphon or dump all water out of the tank, then dump out the salt and throw it away.  Keep the waste away from your garden, as salt kills plants. Dissolve blocks or bridges of salt with hot water if needed. Some models have a mesh platform at the base of the brine tank. Set this aside before cleaning. Mix a generous amount of dish soap into one or two gallons (4–8 liters) of water. Pour it into the tank and scrub the entire interior with a long-handled brush. Dump out the soapy water and rinse with plain water. Pour ¼ cup (60 mL) of household bleach and 2–3 gallons (8–11 liters) of water into the tank. Stir and let sit for fifteen minutes to sanitize the tank. Most organisms cannot grow in concentrated brine, but it's a good idea to make sure. Rinse out the bleach thoroughly. If there was a grid in the tank, put it back. Replenish the tank with water and salt as normal. Wait at least a couple hours before regenerating the tank, to give the salt time to dissolve.

TL;DR in English: Schedule the cleaning. Empty the tank. Remove the brine grid from the base of the tank. Scrub with soapy water. Rinse the tank. Clean the tank with bleach. Rinse and refill.

Dice are super simple, but have a whole load of possibilities for games, some of which have unfortunately fallen out of style. You don't need an elaborate game board or an Xbox to play fun games, and there are plenty of games that don't require complex series of bets to enjoy. Learn a few and mix it up. It's also important to distinguish between playing street craps and playing other kinds of dice games, some of which involve betting and some of which don't. If someone asks if you want to "shoot dice," they could be referring to some other game, though craps is the most likely.

If it's not already straight, you may want to straighten it as well. This haircut may not be suitable for people with fine or thin hair as it will remove quite a bit of weight from the bottom of your hair. Using a fine-toothed comb, divide your hair into two equal parts, using a mirror to ensure that the line down the center of your head is straight, and that the two halves are even. Tie the two halves of your hair into two separate ponytails (also known as pigtails). Ensure that they sit low on your head, behind and below your ears — close to where your hair meets your neck at the sides of your head. To tighten each pigtail, grab your hair a couple of inches below the ponytail holder/elastic band, and split it in half so that each hand holds one half. Then, gently pull the two halves away from one another so that the elastic band moves upwards, closer to the base of your head. When you've reached the desired length STOP! Do this for both sides. If you cut your hair straight across, it will look choppy; for a more natural look, hold the scissors at a 45-degree angle and cut upward into your hair. Once you've cut each pigtail, you'll notice that your hair comes to a point at the back. If you like the V-shape at the back of your hair, move on to the next step. If you don't like it, you can remove the point by tying your hair into a single ponytail at the nape of your neck, and then clipping off the point. Trim your ends and snip any bits of hair that seem longer than the rest. When point-cutting into the ends, hold the scissors at a 45 degree angle to the hair.

TL;DR in English: Start with clean, dry, brushed hair. Part your hair in the middle. Put your hair in low pigtails. Tighten the pigtails. Pull the elastic bands around your pigtails down evenly and slowly. Cut your hair just beneath the elastic band. Remove the ponytail holders. Polish your cut.

If she's cramming for a test before the bell rings or having an intense conversation with a friend, it's probably best to wait. Find a time when she's alone and doesn't look like she's in a rush to get anywhere, such as in the cafeteria or after school lets out.  If she's constantly surrounded by friends, don't be afraid to say, “Can I talk to you for a second?” See if you have any common interests. Is she apart of the debate team? You could try it out too as a built-in way to meet her. If there are breaks or club outings, you could try to strike up a conversation during those times. Don't spout off a cheesy pick-up line the second you're face-to-face, but have a general idea about what you're going to say. This can be as general as a question about her day, or you can cut right to the chase and tell her you're interested. Either way, it's great to have an idea going into the conversation so that you aren't faced with awkward silence.  You could say something like, "Hi [name]! Happy it's almost Friday?" If you see her holding a specific textbook or going into a classroom, you could ask her about that. "Hey [name], you have history with Mr. Smith? I heard he's great, do you like him?" A general rule of thumb is to talk to her as if you already know her. This doesn't mean you should act like you're best friends, but don't act like you're talking to your teacher or principal. Say something like, "Hey [her name], how's your week going so far?" rather than, "Hello [name], how are you today?" . Even if you've planned out a perfect opener and have a great idea about what you want to talk to her about, you need to also convey confidence with your body language. Keep your head up, and make eye contact with her. Make sure you're standing up straight, and take a wide stance so that you look secure in your space. Take care not to wring your hands or nervously fiddle with your clothes or backpack.  If you feel nervous, that's perfectly normal. The trick is simply not letting it show.

The formula for the surface area of any prism is SA=2B+Ph{\displaystyle SA=2B+Ph}, where SA{\displaystyle SA} equals the surface area, B{\displaystyle B} equals the area of the base, P{\displaystyle P} equals the perimeter of the base, and h{\displaystyle h} equals the height of the prism. In order for this method to work you must know the surface area of the prism, as well as the area of the triangular base, and the length of all three sides of the base. If you do not know the surface area, this method will not work. For example, if you know the surface area is 1460 square centimeters, your formula will look like this:1460=2B+Ph{\displaystyle 1460=2B+Ph} To find the area, you need to know the length of the triangle’s base and the height of the triangle. Use the formula A=12(b)(h){\displaystyle A={\frac {1}{2}}(b)(h)}. To find the area of a triangle.  Alternatively, if you know the length of all three sides of a triangle, you can find the area using Heron’s formula.  Read Calculate the Area of a Triangle for complete instructions. For example, if the base of the triangle is 8 centimeters, and the height of the triangle is 4 centimeters, to find the area you would calculate:A=12(8)(4){\displaystyle A={\frac {1}{2}}(8)(4)}A=12(32){\displaystyle A={\frac {1}{2}}(32)}A=16{\displaystyle A=16} Make sure you are substituting for the letter B{\displaystyle B}. For example, if you found the area of the base to be 16, your formula will look like this:1460=2(16)+Ph{\displaystyle 1460=2(16)+Ph}1460=32+Ph{\displaystyle 1460=32+Ph} To find the perimeter of a triangle, add up the length of all three sides. For example, if the base is a triangle has three sides with lengths of 8, 4, and 9 centimeters, to find the perimeter you would calculate:P=8+4+9{\displaystyle P=8+4+9}P=21{\displaystyle P=21} Make sure you are substituting for the letter P{\displaystyle P}. For example, if you found the perimeter of the base to be 21, your formula will look like this:1460=32+21h{\displaystyle 1460=32+21h} This will give you the height of...

This experiment will use the reflection of light on objects to show how light moves in a straight line. You need to conduct this experiment with someone else, as one person will hold the flashlight and one person will hold the mirror. You will need the following supplies:  Two to three sheets of black paper. A flashlight. A small mirror. Small objects like buttons, bottle caps, or dimes. Lay the black paper down on the ground in a lowly lit room or, if possible, a dark room. Then, place two to three small objects in the center of the paper. The person with the flashlight will sit in front of the objects with her back to the objects.The other person will hold the small mirror so it is facing the objects. The person will then turn on the flashlight so it is shining away from the objects.  The other person will use the small mirror to reflect the flashlight so it hits the objects. Move close to the light, at an angle, to catch the light so it hits the objects. You may need to position more than one mirror to create a light path that shines on the objects. Play around with reflecting the light on the mirrors until the light hits the objects. You can also move the objects around the room to create a more complicated light path, using the flashlight as the light source. This experiment shows that light travels in a straight line in the air. But it also bounces off of a reflective surface, like a mirror. The angle of the light as it bounces off the mirror will be the same as the angle of the light as it hits the mirror. The mirror reflects the light and changes its path from a straight line to an angled straight line.

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Place the objects on the black paper. Have one person hold the flashlight and one person hold the mirror. Turn on the flashlight.

Your hair is composed mostly of protein, so having lots of protein in your diet is essential for healthy hair. If you're not getting enough, your body can shut down the supply of protein to your hair and use it for the most essential of many other body functions.  When your hair doesn't get enough protein, it shuts down growth. As a result, when existing hair reaches the end of its cycle and naturally falls out (in a process known as catagen) it can seem as if you have less hair than normal. Don't worry though - once you commit to getting enough protein in your diet, your hair will start to grow again and feel thicker in no time. The best sources of protein include fish (like tuna, salmon, and halibut), white poultry (such as turkey and chicken), eggs, dairy products (including milk, cheese, and yogurt), beans (like kidney, white, lima, baby lima, and black beans) and beef, veal, pork, and tofu. B vitamins are necessary for healthy hair growth, so if you're not getting enough of them as part of your diet, your hair could be affected. On the other hand, excess vitamin A can trigger hair loss, so you may need to cut back.  Having low levels of B vitamins in your diet is pretty uncommon, especially in the U.S., but it can be an issue for some people. To naturally increase your intake of B vitamins, eat more fish and lean meat as well as starchy vegetables and non-citrus fruits. To decrease your intake of vitamin A, try to cut back on any supplements or medications containing vitamin A. Keep in mind that the recommended daily intake of vitamin A (for anyone above the age of four) is 5,000 IU. Low-calorie diets often deprive your body of many of the vitamins, nutrients, and healthy fats it needs to function properly and maintain healthy hair growth.  In addition, rapid weight loss (as the result of following a low-calorie diet) can cause major physical stress to the body, which may trigger hair loss. It is important to supply your body with all the fuel it needs. If you're trying to lose weight, you should do so...

TL;DR in English: Eat enough protein. Increase B vitamins and decrease A vitamins. Avoid low-calorie diets. Take good care of your hair. Avoid over-styling your hair.

For an easy transition into jewelry making, visit your local craft store and buy a jewelry making kit. Jewelry making kits provide you with basic supplies and tools that allow you to customize different jewelry pieces and make them all your own. Most kits come with some basic instructions with different jewelry ideas, but you can use your imagination to create whatever kind of jewelry you want.  There are many variations of jewelry making kits depending on what specific kind of jewelry you want to make. For example, there are beading jewelry kits, stringing jewelry kits, and wire jewelry kits, just to name a few. Because there is such a variety in possible pieces of jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, earrings), made out of many possible materials (beads, wire, string, resin, paper, etc.), pick out a material and piece of jewelry you want to work on making. Find inspiration by visiting jewelry stores or looking online at social platforms, visual organizational websites, or jewelry retailer websites. Depending on what kind of jewelry you plan to make, you’ll probably need some basic tools to complete your project. Some basic tools all beginners should consider having include:  A variety of pliers – round nose pliers, chain nose pliers, step jaw pliers, bent closing pliers, and nylon jaw pliers A metal ruler that measures both centimeters and inches Wire cutters Practice wire, to practice bending and shaping you wire before you attempt to bend your more expensive wire for your actual project Peg boards for bending wire Handmade jewelry can be crafted with many different kinds of supplies, but there are a few basic supplies that are used on most handmade jewelry pieces. Jewelry kits can provide you with general or project specific supplies, but if you plan to start making jewelry without using a kit, you need to purchase some supplies on your own. Consider buying some:  Beads Jewelry wire in common gauge sizes (18, 20, and 22); 20 gauge is best for beginners Clasps and closures Jump rings In order to determine how...

Most places offer community classes, where you can sign up to take some art lessons. Just know that you will have to invest a bit of money, but it certainly will help. Look for art lessons online, and art videos or DVDs. Many professional artists create instructional DVDs in various mediums, or on drawing in general. Websites with forums like http://www.wetcanvas.com will often have free art lessons, with volunteer teachers who give assignments, critique your work, and help in encouraging ways. Sites like http://how-to-draw-and-paint.com may have a lot of free instruction available, and downloadable e-books, as well as further instruction for sale. "Try before you buy" with online art lessons, some are as good or better than in-person art instruction. You should like the teacher's art, and also enjoy the teacher's style of presentation, to get the most out of an online class. The Artist's Magazine, Pastel Journal, Watercolor Artist, American Artist and others all have excellent articles on how to draw and paint. The more you read, the more you'll understand the many technical terms and different techniques there are to drawing and painting. Learning art is cumulative. It may seem easy, because people who do something well for a long time do it easily, but it's a complex field of study that takes time and effort to master. Patience, practice and study are what really constitutes "talent" - talent is loving the process so much, that you're willing to put up with your mistakes in order to learn how to do it so well, others call you talented. This usually comes at the point they can recognize what you drew for what it is. Look for books on design and composition, take classes in design, study it as much as you do how to draw things accurately. It makes the difference between whether you create great art or just copies of photos. Learn how to crop reference photos, choose which subjects to shoot or sketch in a landscape, guide a viewer's attention in the painting to the most important thing in it - a portrait's...

Most prescriptions have a generic option. These cost much less than name brand medicines, but are essentially the same medication. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if any of your prescriptions can be switched to generic version. Insurance plans often cover more on these as well. There are mail-order pharmacies that you can send your prescriptions to in order to cut costs. These pharmacies take medicines for which you have a long-standing prescriptions and send you a three month supply for the price of one. If you are taking expensive medications for chronic conditions, this can save you a lot of money since you will only pay for four months worth of medication per twelve months. There are certain organizations, such as AARP and AAA, that can offer discounts on prescriptions. There are even certain people who might qualify for free prescription cards through Medicare or other plans. When using a discount card, make sure you find the cheapest price you can on the prescriptions before you use the discount card. Some pharmacies offer lower prices on medications than others. This way, your out of pocket cost is as low as possible. If there are conditions or illnesses that you suffer from that you can use over-the-counter medication for, use those medications instead. Conditions such as chronic allergies or head colds can easily be helped with over the counter medicine instead of expensive prescriptions. If your condition doesn't get any better, see your doctor to make sure nothing serious is wrong.

TL;DR in English: Switch to generic medications. Get your prescriptions through the mail. Get a discount prescription card. Use over-the-counter medications when possible.

Tomatoes grow best at daytime temperatures of 70 to 80º F (21–27º C), and nighttime temperatures of 60–65º F (16–18º C). Make sure you can maintain these temperatures in your greenhouse for several months before you plant.  Ideally, bring temperatures to the lower end of this range on overcast days, and raise them to the upper end (or even slightly higher) during clear, sunny days. You'll also need to keep humidity below 90% to prevent excessive leaf mold. Ventilate regularly to bring fresh, dry air into the greenhouse, especially on cool, cloudy mornings. There are thousands of tomato varieties, so for detailed information it's best to talk to local growers. There are a few guidelines and tips that apply to all regions, however:  Tomatoes marketed as greenhouse varieties are more tolerant of greenhouse conditions. The letters VFNT and A after the name mean the variety is resistant to disease.  "Indeterminate" tomatoes grow and produce fruit indefinitely, taking advantage of the longer growing season inside a greenhouse. If you're short on space, plant a "determinate" variety, which stops at a certain height. Tomatoes can grow in any well-draining material. You can use your preferred soil-less mix, or one of these options:  Perlite bags or rock wool slabs are the cheapest options in many areas.  Some growers prefer a 1:1 mix of sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite.  Purchase sterile soil mix or make your own. Never use soil or compost from your garden without sterilizing. Choose this option if you do not want to install an irrigation system. . Most growers install drip tubing to deliver water to each plant. A fertilizer injector attached to the tubing can automate fertilizing as well. Tomatoes are also easy to grow in a hydroponics system. See this article for detailed instructions.

TL;DR in English: Check temperature. Select a tomato variety. Choose a growing medium. Install an irrigation system (recommended)

For general, everyday use, you want to look for a primer that matches your complexion or is just a tiny bit lighter. This will look the most natural if you forego eyeshadow and just do a liner and it won't alter the shade of your eyeshadow by adding pigmentation.  If you're doing a smokey eye or a dark eyeshadow, look for a darker primer to add depth to your look. If you are using multiple colors and really want them to pop, try a white primer. You can also use a clear primer for the most versatile option. Since primer is a base to even out your skin tone, it should really be matte or transparent, rather than shimmery.  Consider color correcting primer if you have dark circles or want to brighten your eyes. Primers with a yellow or peach cast will neutralize the purples, browns, and "bruise" shades of under eye circles. A primer with a little bit of green can neutralize pink or reddish skin. Matte primers are great for everyday use, because they tend to last longer and give you a more neutral base for your eye makeup. Even if your skin is not oily, eyelids tend to get a little greasy throughout the day, and the matte finish will help absorb the grease and keep your makeup in place.  A satin or shimmery finish works when you are wearing no shadow over your primer or plan to use a sparkly eyeshadow. Keep in mind these don't have quite the staying power as a matte primer, and that you shouldn't use a matte eyeshadow over a shimmery primer or it will look off.  If you have very dry skin, try a gel-based primer or one that illuminates skin.  Matte primers work with both matte and shimmery eyeshadows--they allow you to add all the shine using the makeup, not the primer.  Matte primers are especially effective in hot and humid weather, because it will keep the grease and shine under control. Primers come in gel, cream, liquid, or stick form. The texture of your primer will influence how it feels on your lids and how long it will last. Gel primers usually last the longest and can be worn with all types of eyeshadow....

Seek advice from supportive friends or family. Talk to supportive professionals about your physical transition. Consider seeing a counselor. Connect with the LGBT community.

Take time to decide what type of woman you want to look like. This greatly influences the other steps. How old are you? What is your body type? What kind of style do you want? Envision the woman you will become. You can be classy, provocative, trendy, or even angelic. What you want to look like will change over time, and outfit choices vary from day to day.  Remember to always dress for the occasion and take your daily life into account. If you will be passing as a woman on a regular basis and work in a professional environment, provocative or flashy clothing will not be appropriate. If you’re going out clubbing, wearing more revealing clothes is fine. If you’re passing as a woman for a party or special event, go all out. Be over the top in your clothing choices. Use your close female friends looks for fashion inspiration. Notice what aspects of their outfits you like. Showering is the first step to looking like a woman. So much is done in the shower, including shaving, washing your hair, and getting generally clean. Females are known for having smooth skin, clean and shiny hair, and a clean body, so take your time. You may also need to spend some money on this step.  Buy quality razors to shave with. Cheap razors can irritate skin, and your body hair will grow back quickly. Invest in shampoo and conditioner that smell nicely. Feminine products are scented differently from male products. Get a loofah and body wash. This will help exfoliate your skin and leave it clean and smooth. After you’ve washed your body and shampooed your hair, a close shave is a must for passing as a woman. Use a new razor and take your time. Also, be gentle; you don't want to irritate your skin. Using plenty of shaving cream and razors with three or more blades will keep razor burn to a minimum. If you really want to keep stubble away, you can try waxing, electrolysis, or even permanent laser hair removal, but consult with a professional first.  Shave your entire body, too. If you haven't done this ever or in a while, be prepared to...

Find a comfortable position where you can stay without moving for 20 or more minutes.  Stretch your back before you begin, if you have been sitting all day. Twisting from the waist to the left and right in a seated position or doing yoga cat/cow and child's poses can release tension so that it is easier to focus on the meditation. Relax your shoulders. Lift them up to your ears as you breathe in, then drop them back down. Keep your back very straight. Place your hands in your lap. Zazen meditation suggests that you place your left hand in your right hand, palms up and place your left thumb on top of your right thumb, as if you were cradling an egg. This should make a circle, suggesting infinity and also the unconscious--your non-dominant side being allowed to take over. Some meditators find it difficult to mediate with their eyes open, while some struggle to meditate with their eyes closed because drowsiness becomes too much of a problem. Consider actively focusing on "nothing." Look not at the blank wall, but through the wall. Blink when you need to blink. Most meditation is not more complicated than sitting quietly and breathing, when you get right down to it. Within that simplicity, however, is endless complexity. Begin counting down from 10. You can focus on the counting to get your mind to start calming. If you have more time and this practice is helpful, consider counting down from 50 or 100.  Breathe in deeply for a count of 8 seconds, hold the breath for 2 to 4 seconds, and breathe out over a count of 8 seconds. Repeat this breathing pattern for 2 minutes. Feel the breath coming into your body and going out of your body. Imagine the oxygen filling your body and coursing through your blood. Feel the oxygen come into all the parts of your body, and continue focusing on your breath.

TL;DR in English: Sit on your cushion or chair. Close your eyes or focus them on a blank wall. Focus on your breath.

Fruit flies lay their eggs places that provide food and moisture, such as rotting fruit and dank sinks or garbage cans. To get rid of the eggs, you'll need to figure out where the flies' food sources are in your kitchen.  Bowls or bags of aging fruit are an obvious culprit. Even if your fruit is brand new, the container you're storing it in might have residue from old produce that's still attracting fruit flies. If you keep compost in your kitchen, that may be a food source for fruit flies. An open bag of recyclables can be attractive to fruit flies, especially if it contains un-rinsed beer or soda cans. When did you last wash your garbage can? Even if you take out the trash frequently, the receptacle itself could be the source of the problem. Kitchen sink drains often harbor fruit flies, since food bits can get trapped in there and start to rot. Damp sponges and mops can also be breeding grounds for fruit flies. When you have a fruit fly problem, don't leave fruit exposed at room temperature in your kitchen. Store it in a closed brown bag or keep it in the refrigerator until you've taken care of the fruit flies. One piece of overripe fruit can perpetuate the infestation by providing a great place for fruit flies to breed. Don't throw fruit scraps in the trash. Unless you take your trash out daily, avoid throwing peach pits, apple cores and other fruit scraps in the trash in your kitchen, since they'll end up as breeding grounds for fruit flies. Take scraps directly outside to a compost pile or outdoor bin. Your trash can, recycling bin, and compost bin could be harboring fruit fly eggs. Any waste receptacle you keep indoors should be cleaned with hot, soapy water as soon as you notice the infestation. Take out your trash, recycling or compost often to prevent the problem from recurring.  Continue washing the containers every week or so, especially during the late summer months when fruit fly populations are high. Rinse bottles and other containers with hot water before you throw them in the bin. Residue from...

TL;DR in English: Figure out where they're breeding. Store your produce carefully. Wash your waste receptacles. Clean your drain. Throw out other potential breeding sources. Wipe down the surfaces in your kitchen.

Continue to reach out to those who trust and have been by your side in the past. Ask them about challenges they have faced in their own lives, and how they overcame them. Show them that you care about what they have to say.   Finding advice and support in person can be reassuring and helpful as you continue to come out and let others know about your gender identity. Understand that even if your friends or family have not personally experienced what it is like to come out as transgender, they may have personal struggles with their own identities.  For example, ask them, "Have you ever faced feeling like you didn't belong or fit in?" Feeling different or misunderstood is something that everyone goes through from time to time in their lives.  Use this as a way to connect with others who feel this way, rather than distance yourself. Many trans people benefit from hormones and/or surgery to help their body match their gender a little more clearly. You may be struggling with what you plan to do both physically and emotionally. Seek advice from experts who have helped others find their path. Talk with your doctor about making physical changes to your body.  This may involve hormone replacement therapy or surgery.  Talk with your doctor about a possible referral to a specialist in these types of medical procedures. Ask, "I am considering transitioning as a man (or woman) and want know about the medical treatments available in this area.  Can you help me or make a referral?" Coming out as transgender can be tough, and the ensuing transition process isn't always easy. A counselor can help you cope with the challenges, and offer advice on handling difficult times. They can also treat anxiety, depression, and other illnesses that trans people can be at risk for.  Some LGBT+ groups have counseling centers, and may offer individual or group therapy. Whether it's online or in-person, there is an LGBT community out there that can help you navigate your coming out process and what feels right for you. You don't have to feel...

Doctor Who was very different from 1963 to 1989 than it is today. New series fans have scrutinized it for its bad visuals and special effects, weird planets, and low production values. Take all this into account when you're deciding. Also remember that classic Who also ran in a serialized format, with stories ranging anywhere from 1 to 12 episodes to complete one story arc. There were eight classic Doctors so you have some options. Here is a list of good starting points and the year in which they were broadcast:  An Unearthly Child (1963) The War Games (1969) Spearhead from Space (1970) Terror of the Autons (1971) The Three Doctors (1972-73) The Time Warrior (1973-74) The Ribos Operation (1978) The Keeper of Traken (1981) Kinda (1982) The Five Doctors (1983) There is no reason to watch the series chronologically, if you don’t find it interesting. Track recurring characters and monsters that you’re interested in. If you like the Master or Cybermen, track down all the episodes they appear on by using the internet. There are several fan websites that track characters and monsters and present a full list of episodes they appear in. In the late 1960s and the 1970s the BBC wanted to reuse videotape so they wouldn't have to keep buying more, and as a result, multiple episodes from the first three Doctors' eras were "lost to time." Thankfully though, all of the Third Doctor's era has been recovered and missing episodes are starting to turn up in unexpected places. So there is hope yet. Let the cliffhanger hang and leave it there. Either watch the next episode the night after or the next week, or you can watch an episode from a different story and then come back.

TL;DR in English: Decide if you want to do this. Pick a good starting point. Follow trends you enjoy. Consider the 90+ missing episodes. Don't watch all of the episodes of a story in one sitting.

Make the square 5 by 5 inches (13 by 13 cm) and the rectangle 1 by 3 inches (2.5 by 7.6 cm). Cotton works best, but you can use any lightweight fabric you want. Use your ruler to measure the fabric and mark where you need to cut it with a piece of chalk. Then, cut along the chalk lines to get the 2 pieces. Make sure to cut the fabric carefully to avoid jagged edges. Then, add a line of hot glue along the raw edge on the right (print) side of the fabric. Press the edges together to create a seam.  If desired, you may also sew a straight stitch about 0.25 in (0.64 cm) from the raw edge of the fabric to secure the edges together. Be careful not to touch the hot glue with your bare fingers. You may want to wear gloves or use the ruler to press down on the edges of the fabric. Once the glue is cool and the edges are secured, turn the tube of fabric so that the right sides are facing out and the raw edges of the seam are hidden. Then, flatten the tube and position the glued seam so that it is in the center of 1 side of the rectangle, not on the edge. Make sure that the ends are even. Then, add a line of hot glue along the fold on the inside of the tube. Press the edges together using your gloved fingers or a ruler. If desired, you may also use an iron to press the tube and the folded ends before you add the glue. This may help to keep the tube flat. Lay the small strip so that the right side is facing down and apply a line of hot glue down the center of the strip. Then, fold 1 of the long sides over to the center of the strip and apply another line of hot glue over the edge of the strip. Fold the other side over that 1 and press it down to secure it. If desired, you may iron the folded strip before you glue it. This may help to keep it flat. Loosen your grip on the center slightly to expose the area between the folds. Then, apply a few dabs of hot glue to the areas between the folds and press the folds back together. Repeat this on both sides of the bow to secure the folds in the center. You can experiment with...

TL;DR in English: Cut a square and a rectangle out of a piece of lightweight fabric. Fold the square piece in half with the wrong sides facing out. Invert the tube of fabric so that the right sides are exposed. Fold the ends in by 0.25 in (0.64 cm) to hide the raw edges. Fold the small strip so the edges overlap and secure them with glue. Pinch and fold the middle of the fabric into the shape of an accordion. Wrap the smaller fabric piece around the center of the bow. Attach a clip to the back of the bow tie using hot glue.

You can use any color of tulle that you want. Just keep in mind that you will need a lot of it to make your skirt, so try to choose tulle that is on sale or reasonably priced to help keep your costs down. You will also need fabric to line your skirt. You can use any lightweight fabric, such as a cotton or broadcloth. Also, make sure to purchase a wide band of elastic. You will need enough elastic to go around your waist.  You will need a piece of lining fabric that is 2.5 times the width of your waist measurement. For example, if your waist measures 30” (76 cm), then you will need 75” (191 cm) of lining fabric. The length of the fabric should be the desired length of your tulle skirt plus 1” (2.5 cm).  You will need a large amount of tulle to create a gathered skirt. Plan to purchase 20 yards for an adult size skirt or about 10 yards for a child size skirt. Elastic usually comes in black and white. Choose the option that works best with the tulle you are using. Make sure to measure your waist before you buy your elastic and get enough elastic to fit around your waist. While you do not need to hem your tulle, it is a good idea to hem your lining material. This is because your lining may fray if it is left unhemmed. To hem your lining, fold over the top and bottom edges of your lining piece by ¼” (0.6 cm) and sew along the edges to secure them. If desired, you may fold over the fabric again and sew again to completely cover the raw edge, but this is optional.

TL;DR in English: Purchase tulle, lining, and a wide band of elastic. Hem the long edges of your lining.

Ask anyone in a group if they’d like to perform a fun trick with their hand.  Let any potential volunteers know that the trick isn’t dangerous and won’t hurt. It’s just fun and surprising. Make sure you and your volunteer have access to a table or other nearby flat surface before performing the trick. Ask your volunteer to put either of their hands onto a flat surface, but with the middle finger folded underneath. The back of the middle finger and the fingertips of all other fingers should be resting against the table or flat surface. Your volunteer’s hand should remain in this position. Instruct your volunteer to lift each fingertip off of the table, with the ring finger last. Have them lift first their thumb, then pointer finger, then pinky finger from the surface of the table. They should be able to move each of these with ease. Ask your volunteer to lift their ring finger from the table last, which they are very likely not to be able to do.  Enjoy the surprise and amusement of your volunteer and other guests. Have others try the same trick themselves if they don’t believe it. Try on both right and left hands as well. You can tell your audience that the trick works because the middle and ring finger are controlled by the same tendon in the hand, so one cannot easily be lifted when the other is folded. The other fingers are controlled by separate tendons so they can be moved independently.  Make sure that anyone trying the trick keeps their middle finger folded under and that this finger and all other fingertips remain flat on the table.

Graphic jersey tunic dresses and short, print A-lines are new Emo staples that are a must for the warmer months. Opt for dark colors with statement-making designs, like a music promo or a checkerboard or skull print. If you love your flannel or plaid, try cutting off the sleeves and/or knotting the front across your belly to make it the length that you want. You can do the same with your favorite T’s or vintage shirts. You can, of course, always buy new tanks and belly shirts, too. Go for ones with graphics, prints, or quotes that have something to say about who you are. If you’d like a two-piece, try a halter top with a full-coverage bottom with low-cut legs. One-pieces with ruching and low-cut legs are also tres chic.  Black, red, or pink are generally your best bets, color-wise. If you’d like a pattern, go for horizontal stripes or polka dots. You could also opt for a statement-making graphic. One-piece cut-out suits with slashes across the front or holes on each side are also new Emo trends. For a masculine swimsuit, consider shorts that combine black with bright graphics. Beanies or black bowlers are probably not the best option for summer since they’re hot and don’t provide much sun protection. Opt for a straw boater hat to keep the simple, retro feel with a cooler fit and a wider brim. Alternatively, try a floppy sun hat in black or bold pink. Thick-rimmed wayfarers are classic Emo. However, any oversized shades will do the trick. Try black rims with a bold pop of color on the arms.

TL;DR in English: Add dresses to your wardrobe. Adapt your shirts into tanks and belly shirts. Get retro-cut swimwear. Switch up your hat. Protect your eyes with oversized sunglasses.

When you’re a teenager in high school, the last thing you’re thinking about is a job you may have in your 20s or 30s. Unfortunately, however, you need to. Posts you write and upload as a teenager can and will be found when you’re an adult. While you may delete the post from your social media account, that doesn’t mean it’s completely deleted from the internet. Stop and seriously think about everything you post on social media when you’re a teenager. Before you post something, ask yourself if it’s something your parents would post online. If your parents wouldn’t post it, don’t post it. Posting photos online, in and of itself, is not a problem. However, there are some types of photos that should never be posted online and others that shouldn’t be posted often. Some types of photos are actually illegal to post online and you can get into serious trouble if you do post them. Other types of photos make you look rude, mean, petty, ignorant, or full of yourself. Certain types of photos can get you kicked out of school, kicked off a team or club, put in detention or expelled, or even prevent you from being hired for a job in the future.  Never post sexual, nude, or even partially nude photos of yourself or someone else. Never post an embarrassing photo of someone else. Never post a photo that is intended to be harmful or hurtful to someone else. Avoid posting too many selfies, they may give the wrong impression about you to future employers. While you have the right to your own opinion, you should be very careful where you write that opinion and with whom you share that opinion. If possible, if your point of view is way out of the mainstream, you want to consider not writing it down at all, or only writing it down where you can write an intelligent explanation to go with it. In other situations, you may think that posting an opinion or view online is funny (even if you don’t believe it), but in reality, it’s rude, harmful, and possibly illegal. Just because someone you know has posted an opinion or extreme view...

TL;DR in English: Think twice before posting anything online. Avoid posting photos online that may ruin your future. Keep your rude opinions or extreme views to yourself. Use the internet for positive reasons only.

Once you’ve recognized the root of your jealousy and you’ve come up with a solution, talk to your best friend.   For example, you might tell your best friend that you are jealous of her because she has the haircut that you want and ask her if she would be okay with you getting the same haircut. You might even ask her if she could recommend her salon to you. Turn this into a bonding moment that could strengthen your friendship. Acknowledge that your feelings are your own and that you are in control of them. Instead of saying, “Your hair makes me so jealous!” try, “I feel jealous of your hair. You’ve got a great cut.” In this way, you’re using “I” statements, rather than “you” statements to talk about your jealousy. Also own where your jealousy could be coming from, such as a history of being bullied, an abusive relationship, etc. Sometimes just talking to your best friend can solve the issue. Be honest about the way that you feel and be sure that you don’t project your feelings onto them.   Use “I statements: “I feel this way about…” Make sure that your communication is two way, meaning that you listen closely to your best friend’s response to your declarations of jealousy. Try to work to overcome your jealousy by talking about it. Encourage your friend to share her feelings with you, too. If you are still unable to abate your jealousy even after working on yourself, identifying the root of your jealousy, and talking to your friend about it, then it is time to remind yourself of the importance of your friendship. Often, that will be enough to ease your feelings of jealousy.   What makes you best friends in the first place? Think about your favorite memories together. Understand that your jealousy could destroy your friendship if you don’t put it in check. Ask yourself which is more important to you: your friendship or your jealousy. Make sure that you are not feeling jealous because your friend is hypercritical or hard on you and makes you feel inferior to them. If this is the case, then this may not be a good...

TL;DR in English: Own your jealousy. Practice open communication. Return to the reason you are friends.

Fill a saucepan with 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of water, then place a heat-safe glass bowl on top. Add ½ cup (108 grams) of coconut oil, 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of jojoba oil, and 1½ tablespoons (21.32 grams) beeswax pellets. Hold off on the aloe vera and essential oil for now. Turn the heat up to medium and allow the water to come to a simmer. Let the oils and beeswax melt, stirring occasionally. You are ready once they turn liquid and translucent. Make sure that your blender can withstand heat (ie: glass). If your blender is plastic, let the mixture cool down first, then scrape it into the blender with a spatula. If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor instead. Turn the blender onto a low speed setting. While it is turning, slowly pour 1 cup (236.5 grams) of aloe vera gel into it. From time to time, pause the blender, and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. Use a natural aloe vera gel. Don't use aloe vera juice or homemade gel. You don't have to do this, but it will give the cream a nice fragrance. If you use the right type of essential oil, you could also benefit your skin. For example:  Acne or oily skin: lavender, lemongrass, palmarosa, peppermint, rosemary Dry or aging skin: lavender, palmarosa, rose, rose geranium Normal skin: rose, rose geranium Any skin type: chamomile, palmarosa Blend the mixture or whip it by hand until it is light and fluffy. Use a rubber spatula to transfer it into several small glass jars. ¼ or ½-ounce (60 or 120-milliliter) jars would work the bet. You can keep one of the jars in your bathroom, but you should store the rest in the fridge so that they last longer. Use the cream morning and evening within 3 to 4 months.

TL;DR in English:


Know the different types of rosacea. Examine your skin for signs of rosacea. Determine if you are more prone to developing rosacea.

Every person has their own perspectives and opinions that are formed based on their experiences. Acknowledging that other people have perspectives that differ from yours will help you to more holistically consider your own views and begin changing them.  You cannot begin to change your own perspectives without considering and acknowledging that your truth is not the only or right view. For example, if you believe that women can’t be heads of state or CEOs, understand that there are many people in this world who don’t share your view. Otherwise, countries like Norway or Great Britain or companies such as Yahoo wouldn’t have had women at their helms. A good exercise to help you understand different perspectives is to choose a cultural trait that you do not possess. Try to imagine how that cultural belief might impact your perspective on a number of issues. If you know someone who has different perspectives than you, ask him if you can have a friendly conversation and exchange views. This kind of conversation can help you to understand other viewpoints and may provide you context or information that may change your own perspective.  Ask your conversation mate lots of questions about his perspectives and what informs them. Ask if he’s ever had a change in his views or even how he develops his perspectives over time. Always be respectful of other perspectives and don’t debate or fight with a person about his views. Being respectful and not debating will give you the chance to consider his views and see how they fit with yours. You may find that even if don’t see eye to eye, that he has good ideas that can help you change your perspectives. Remember that you can learn from any conversation, even if it’s to support your own views. Arguing is counterproductive and may keep you from developing.

TL;DR in English: Acknowledge that other people have different perspectives. Talk to someone else about his perspectives and what informs them. Be respectful and don’t debate.

The easiest way to make a doll bed, no power tools required, is to use a wooden fruit crate or a cardboard shoe box. You can find a wooden fruit crate at the grocery store. They are often used to hold fruits like clementines, small oranges, or grapes and many grocery stores will give you empty fruit crates if you find one available in the produce section.  Many fruit crates already have small “legs” on each corner made of wood. You will use these legs to help the crate stand up off the ground when you transform it into a doll bed. Alternatively, you can use a standard cardboard shoe box to make the frame. Look for a cardboard box in good condition and made of stiff material that can hold some weight. You find most of the supplies for this method at your local hardware store. You will need to following supplies for this method:  A 4” x 4” fruit crate or a standard cardboard shoe box 16 wooden paint stirring sticks (12 short ones, 4 long ones) Wood glue (hot glue works too) Scissors Large binder clips Sandpaper or a sanding block Gesso or primer Acrylic paint in your desired color Measure the sticks and mark the 8 inch line on each with a pencil before you cut them. Then, score the sticks with the X-ACTO knife seven to eight times against a ruler and then cut them easily with the scissors or the X-ACTO knife. Lay one of the longer sticks next to each end so the bottom of the long stick extends 1 ½ inches past the bottom of the row of trimmed sticks. This is going to form your footboard. You can do this by laying one of the trimmed sticks across all the sticks so it is parallel and about ½ inch above the bottom of the five trimmed sticks. Drizzle the stick with wood glue and secure it over all the sticks so it holds them in place. Let the footboard dry for at least one hour with a heavy object, like a book, sitting on top of the sticks. Trim five of the short paint stirring sticks so they are 8 inches long using scissors and/or an X-ACTO knife. Then, place the five trimmed sticks side by side on a flat, clean...

TL;DR in English: Get a wooden fruit crate or a cardboard shoe box. Gather your other supplies. Trim seven of the short paint stirring sticks to 8 inches long. Place five of the trimmed sticks side by side of a flat, clean surface. Secure the footboard with wood glue, or hot glue. Repeat this process to make the headboard. Turn over the fruit crate or the cardboard box. Clamp the footboard into place using the binder clips. Follow the same process for the headboard. Sand the bed with sandpaper. Finish the bed frame by painting it with acrylic paint.

Talking to people in line at the grocery store or in an elevator is a great way to practice talking to strangers. Because you'll be in the same place for such a short time, you know that you'll be able to leave the conversation quickly, which can calm you down. Don't get into deep topics during these interactions. Keep it light and observational: "Man, this elevator smells terrible" or  "Please convince me not to impulse-buy all this checkout aisle candy." If you're at a coffee shop, bar, or lounging in the chairs at a book store, you have more time to spend in the conversation. Try to enjoy it! Joke around and show off the fun side of your personality that only your long-time friends usually get to see. If you meet someone you think you'd like to ask out, ask more personal questions. Not only does this make the new relationship immediately more intimate, it also teaches you a lot about the person you're talking to. You can size them up to see if they'd even be a good match for you.  Don't push too far, though. Asking someone if they want to have kids in your first conversation would be very overbearing. Instead, offer semi-personal details about yourself, and let the other person decide whether they want to share. For example, "I'm a real mama's boy/daddy's girl. If we don't talk every day, I just don't feel right." You might find yourself at a party with someone influential in your line of work. You might be at a professional conference. In any networking interaction, you want people to get the impression that you're confident and capable. Even if you feel anxious about talking to a stranger, fake it till you make it.  Don't make the kind of off-color jokes that might work well at a bar. Stick to talking about the industry you work in. Show people that you know your stuff and are good at your job. The interview itself is important, but so is the small talk before and after the interview. Engaging the interviewer in pleasant conversation shows that you're someone they should want as a colleague. Furthermore,...

TL;DR in English: Keep it light during a fleeting interaction. Have fun during a longer interaction. Get to know someone you’re romantically interested in. Be professional during a networking opportunity. Try to be memorable during an interview.

Take a look at your skin in the mirror to see if you are experiencing any of the following:  Flushing and redness in the center of the face Spider veins (broken blood vessels) Swollen skin Sensitive skin Stinging or burning in the affected skin Dry, rough, or scaly skin In Papulopustular rosacea, acne-like breakouts are common, especially in areas where the skin is very red. In Phymatous rosacea, the skin and nose can become very bumpy and the skin pores may be very large. In Ocular rosacea, the eyes appear watery or bloodshot and may sting, burn, and feel like there is a foreign object in the eye. The eyes can be very sensitive to light. Rosacea is quite common and generally occurs between the ages of 30 to 50 years. Individuals who get it tend to be fair-skinned and have someone in their family with rosacea. Women are slightly more likely to be diagnosed with rosacea than men. Also, people who tend to blush more easily than other people are more likely to develop rosacea.

. If you are unfamiliar with pouring concrete, follow the linked instructions to ensure you do so correctly. Be ready to move on to the next steps as soon as you pour. Many modern concrete mixes do not need to be compressed, or "tamped", before finishing, and tamping the wrong mix can weaken the slab. Confirm your decision with a professional before tamping. If you do decide to tamp, simply press the concrete down using any variety of tamping tool (hand, rolling, etc.). Find the straightest lumber 2x4 you can find and place it across the barriers holding the concrete in place, or "forms". The 2x4 should extend at least a foot past the forms in each direction. This object is referred to as a screed board. Using the technique described below, move the 2x4 down the forms to remove excess concrete.  Use a sawing motion to pull and push the 2x4 across the concrete as you move it down the length of the forms. This sawing motion helps prevent tearing as you level the surface. Tilt the leading edge slightly away from the direction of travel to create a thin cutting edge where the screed board meets the concrete. Keep at least a 1 inch (2.5cm) hump of concrete in front of the edge at all times. This will fill any holes in the concrete's surface. Pour and level in stages for larger projects. At the end of the slab, push the excess concrete against the forms for easy removal with later tools.

TL;DR in English: Pour the concrete Compress the concrete only if necessary. Place a 2x4 across the concrete. Use the 2x4 to level the concrete.

Write down how you feel when you think about your spouse. Try to consider if you feel angry, frustrated, hopeless, or disinterested in your marriage. If you answer yes to the following questions, you may need counseling:  Do you feel as though your partner consistently takes you for granted? Do you feel as though you are often or consistently neglected or ignored by your partner? Does your partner make you feel angry or annoyed on a daily basis? Do you feel jealous of your partner's friends or career? Do you feel sad, hopeless, or "stuck" in your marriage? Trust is essential for a relationship to succeed. If you and your spouse cannot trust each other, it is time for you to get professional help. Some signs of trust issues include:  Monitoring the phone calls, text messages, emails, and social media of your partner. Refusing to allow each other to go out or socialize with friends. Accusing each other of cheating without adequate evidence. Keeping secrets from each other. All couples may go through periods of reduced sexual activity, but these should be temporary. If you or your partner has lost interest in sex for a prolonged period of time, seek advice from a counselor.  Try to keep track of how often you have had sex in the last 2-3 months. While every couple's expectation is different, ask yourself if you're satisfied with this pattern. If not, seek counseling. Alternatively, if your spouse seems dissatisfied with your sex life, don't ignore their complaints. Even if you're happy with it, you should address their concerns. Some problems in the bedroom can be solved through communication and compromise. That said, if talking to your spouse about the problem doesn't work, see a counselor. Contempt means that 1 or both partners see themselves as better than the other partner. Ideally, in a relationship, both partners respect each other and see each other equal footing. If you answer yes to the following questions, consider seeing a marriage counselor:  Do you often get mad at your partner for doing things...

TL;DR in English: Reflect on your feelings regarding the marriage. Identify any trust issues in your relationship. Monitor the frequency and satisfaction of your sex life. Assess if your relationship is defined by contempt. Ask yourself if you still love your spouse.

Promise yourself that you'll wait 48 hours before doing anything. Remember, thoughts don’t have the power to force you to act. Sometimes extreme pain can distort our perception. Waiting before taking action will give your mind time to clear. Suicidal thoughts can feel overwhelming, and there’s no reason to fight them alone. Ask a professional for help by calling emergency services or contacting a suicide hotline. These services have trained people ready to listen to you and offer help 24/7. Suicidal thoughts and impulses are very serious. Asking for help is a sign of strength.   These services are free and anonymous. You can also call 911 (US), 999 (UK), or your emergency services number to be connected with a trained professional. If you are a university student, your university may have a suicide prevention line, often through campus police. If you have called for help and are still experiencing suicidal thoughts, you need to go to the emergency room. Ask someone you trust to drive you, or call emergency services.  In the United States, it’s illegal for emergency rooms to turn you away in an emergency, even if you don’t have health insurance or can’t pay.  You can also look up mental health crisis centers or suicide prevention clinics in a directory. You may find low-cost options there. Your risk of suicide is increased if you’re alone with suicidal thoughts. Don’t bottle them up or keep them to yourself. Call someone you love and trust and share your thoughts with them. Sometimes just talking to a good listener can help you cope and be enough to calm your thoughts. Stay on the phone, or ask the person to come over and be with you so you’re not on your own.  You may feel worried or embarrassed about talking to someone about your feelings. The people who love you will not judge you for sharing these feelings with them. They will be glad that you called rather than try to handle everything on your own. You can't predict when new options might appear. It's impossible to know what might happen if you just wait...

Most machines have a setting which can be set by the operator to tighten the claw once in X amount of tries with a bit of randomization. Effectively, this means that the claw will be "loose" most of the time, but will tighten once in every X amount of turns (on an average––not necessarily every nth turn), so people only win every so often. There are also alternative, tricky programming for some machines. On such machines, there is a dual strength setting that causes them to grip with full strength initially and loosen after some time, giving the impression that the toy was caught but managed to slip. This effectively makes the machine more like a slot gambling machine rather than one depending on skill! Some older machines have claws with fixed strength from turn to turn. This is because these machines have claws with strengths that are fixed with a screw by opening the machine. In the case of such an older machine, skill can make quite a difference.

TL;DR in English: Understand the way the claw is programmed to close. Be aware of the peculiarities of the older machines.

Newborns show that they are hungry by moving their heads from side to side, opening their mouths, sticking out their tongues, sucking on their fingers or fists, or trying to suck on anything that comes near their cheek. Crying is actually a late hunger cue, and it’s best to try to feed your baby before they are crying because it’s easier to calm them down to eat. Babies sometimes fuss or cry for reasons other than hunger. If your baby is fussing or crying just an hour after a good feeding, they may need a diaper change, be tired, bored, overstimulated, or too hot or too cold. You can check these other things before trying to feed them again. When it’s time to feed your baby, sit in a comfortable chair and hold them with their head in the crook of your arm and your hand down around their bottom. Their head should be comfortably above their belly. This is called the cradle position  Never feed your baby when they’re lying flat on their back. This can cause them to choke or cause them to get ear infections. You can also hold your baby on your lap and let their head rest against your chest when you feed them. Just be sure to support their head with your hands and reposition them if they start to slide down off your chest. This position works well for babies that have reflux because they are more upright. If your baby is hungry, they will open their mouths to accept something that’s placed on their lower lip. Gently place the bottle nipple against their lower lip. If your baby turns their head away, they may not be hungry at this time, or they may be too uncomfortable to eat right now. Check for other reasons that they are fussing or crying, such as their diaper, before trying to feed them again. As you feed your baby, you want the nipple to stay full so that your baby doesn’t suck air. Keep the bottle tilted with the bottom pointed up while it’s in your baby’s mouth. As you bring the nipple up into your baby’s open mouth, they will latch onto it and start to suck and swallow. This is their natural response when...

TL;DR in English: Feed your baby when they show hunger cues. Hold your baby in a semi-upright position and support their head. Place the nipple against your baby’s lower lip to prompt them to open their mouth. Tilt the bottle to keep the nipple full of milk or formula. Allow your baby to draw the nipple into their mouth and suck. Look into your baby’s eyes and cuddle them or talk to them while feeding. Follow your baby’s lead for how much and how often to feed them. Wake your baby every few hours to eat during their first few weeks of life. Throw away any unused formula or breastmilk from each feeding after 1 hour.

The most effective way to test for CO2 is to bubble the gas through "limewater", a diluted solution of calcium hydroxide (slaked lime). When you bubble carbon dioxide through the solution, it forms a solid precipitate of calcium carbonate – chalk or limestone. Calcium carbonate is insoluble in water. Thus, if there is CO2 present in the sample, the limewater will turn milky, cloudy white. Limewater is also called "white wash" or "milk of lime." If you see these terms, you'll know they mean limewater. The process is simple: dilute calcium hydroxide with water. Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) is a colorless white powder that you can buy from most chemistry suppliers. Pure limewater, once mixed, is clear and colorless, with a slight earthy smell and the bitter, alkaline taste of calcium hydroxide, as its pH is 12.3. Follow these steps to make your own limewater:  Put 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of calcium hydroxide into a clean 1 gallon (3.8 L) or smaller glass jar. Limewater is a saturated solution, which means there will be some extra chemical that doesn't dissolve. A teaspoon will result in a fully saturated solution, whether you use a gallon jar or a smaller container.  Fill the jar with distilled water. It's best to use distilled water for this experiment, as it will give you a purer solution. Put a lid on the jar. Shake the solution vigorously for 1-2 minutes, then let it stand for 24 hours. Pour the clearer solution off the top of the jar through a clean coffee filter or filter paper. Be very careful not to stir up the sediment. If necessary, repeat this filtering step until you obtain a clear limewater solution. Store in a clean jar or bottle. Half-fill a test tube with limewater – then boil it. Use a delivery tube to pipe the contents of the CO2 sample test tube directly into the boiling limewater. You can use a flexible pipe or a (metal) straw as a delivery tube, if nothing better is around. Let the captured gas "bubble" through the liquid, and wait for the reaction to take place. If you don't want to boil...

TL;DR in English: Bubble the gas through limewater. Make a limewater solution. Bubble the gas through the limewater. Look for cloudy water. Know the chemical reaction.

Meditation is a fantastic way to clear your mind and escape reality; it is traditionally used to make the mind calm and peaceful. Proper meditation enables you to take your mind into a calm space and put reality on hold.. The best part is that meditation can be done in the comfort of your own home (or even bed) and requires no prior training or monthly membership.  Choose a peaceful environment, preferably one without distractions. The temperature should be comfortable, it should be as quiet as possible, and you should be able to be alone for 30 minutes. Find a comfortable position. Many people like to lay on the floor with their bodies relaxed, their feet pointed outwards, and their palms facing upwards. There is no “right” position in which to meditate, so find a position in which it is comfortable for you to lie still. You can also try the lotus position. Close your eyes. This allows you to tune out anything that is going on around you. If necessary cover your eyes with a mask or a towel. If you are in a noisy place, it may help to wear earplugs. Think of nothing. Relax completely, let your mind go free. Be aware of your breathing. Don’t necessarily try to control your breath, but simply breathe and be aware of it.  Expect good meditation to take practice. At first, it is almost inevitable that your mind will wander. However, with practice, you will be able to completely clear your mind during your period of meditation. When your mind does wander, bring your focus back to your breath.  Consider using downloadable meditation programs. Simply go to Google or YouTube and search for “meditation.” Listening to music is a fantastic way to clear your mind and make a mental escape from reality. Music has been scientifically shown to affect many different areas of the brain, and it can actually help you achieve self-awareness and regulate your mood. It is also a commonly used tool to engage in escapism.  If you are unsure of what type or genre of music to listen to, you can try to listen to ambient music or...
