Use a fabric that's stretchy and breathable. This will help keep your skin dry and dry skin will be more comfortable.

Opt for fleece. Put on a mid-layer sweater. Wear a soft shell for windy conditions. Put on mid-layer pants, if necessary.

and promotional fliers.  Distribute these items around local art galleries and fairs.  Ask local vendors if you can leave some of your business cards with them or post a flier on their community bulletin boards. Consider contacting vendors that would have the appropriate clientele for your artwork. Also advertise at local restaurants and stores.  This will will allow you to catch people of all interests. Those that are closest to you are your biggest advocates. Let your friends, family and co-workers know that you are selling your art. Show them some of your favorite pieces so they can pass on first-hand information about your art for sale. Be sure to also give them some of your promotional materials so they can hand out your contact information. Most communities host a variety of art fairs throughout the year. Research the various options and decide which one, or ones, would be most appropriate for the type of art you are selling.  For example, if you intend on selling paintings, go to one which highlights paintings in particular. Keep in mind that it often costs money to have a booth at these fairs, but consider the fee an investment in your business. Putting up a little money will likely pay off once you sell a few of your pieces. If you know some people who may be intrigued by your work, host a small get together at your house or at one of their houses. You can also host a private showing to only a handful of guests. Some people are more likely to attend an intimate event like this than an art fair. Ask all of those invited to bring a guest and, again, you are broadening your client base just by word of mouth.

TL;DR in English: Make business cards Tell friends, family, and co-workers about your art. Display your art  at a local fair. Take your art to interested patrons.

Daily blood sugar testing with a glucometer is advised to avoid episodes of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. This will also help assess your ideal insulin requirement. Learning to use a glucometer is important. Select a brand that has easily obtainable glucose strips. In the beginning you may have to check your blood sugar levels three to four times a day or even at nighttime. Managing your insulin levels improves carbohydrate metabolism and reduces blood sugar levels. Insulin therapy is individualized according to weight, lifestyle, age, family support, and occupation. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when administering insulin injections. If medications are required, some physicians recommend starting with oral blood sugar control medications such as metformin or glyburide. If oral agents fail, the traditional treatment involves an intermediate insulin such as NPH in the morning and bedtime, and a short acting insulin with some or all meals. The dosing depends on weight, trimester of pregnancy, and how elevated the blood sugars are.

TL;DR in English: Monitor blood glucose (sugar) as recommended by your healthcare provider. Know the benefits of insulin therapy. Know when you should have insulin therapy.

Slice into even thin slices. Be aware that the thinness determines the final crispiness, so keep them as thin as possible. Only add them single layer and avoid touching. Then sprinkle over the top with your favorite spice. If possible, use fresh, such as grated nutmeg or buy as fresh a spice as possible. They're ready to remove when they look a caramel color and have dried totally.  To store, place in an airtight jar or resealable bags. They can be stored for up to a year.

TL;DR in English: Peel the bananas. Arrange the slices in the dehydrator. Sprinkle fresh lemon juice over the top of the slices. Dehydrate at 135ºF/57ºC for 24 hours. Place on a wire cooling rack and let cool. Store or serve.

This fabric is available in different weights and is great for wicking and insulation. Cotton won't wick moisture or insulate as well. Choose fabric that's a cross between form-fitting and bulky. This way, you'll get the insulation and wicking power you need without struggling to get your outer layer on over the middle layer. Wear a sweater or jacket with a half- or full-zip with standup collar. This will keep you warmer. Look for underarm zippers known as “pit vents” to allow sweat to escape properly. Soft shells are form-fitting yet stretchier for comfort. They come in wind-resistant and windproof varieties. Look for soft shells with a waterproof DWR coating on the outside. This layer might be optional with current fabric technology for base and outer layers. Ask the shop staff for help if you're new to skiing. If you do need mid-layer pants, go for something relatively tight to allow the outer layer to slide on with no problem.

Transfer the food to a saucepan and add ¼ cup (59 ml) of water to prevent the food from scorching. Turn the heat to medium and put on a lid. Stir regularly as the food heats up. Depending on how much food you have, reheating could take about 20 minutes.  Ideal foods to reheat in this way include soups, stews, liquids, beverages, and chili. For beverages, avoid adding additional water. Add a tablespoon (15 ml) of cooking oil or butter to a skillet or cast iron pan. Heat the skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add your food. Cook for about five minutes, and then use a spatula to flip the food. Cook for another five minutes, or until it’s heated through.  This method is ideal for noodles, pasta, rice, or other grains. You can also use this method with beans. Frying in a bit of oil will make the noodles or rice slightly crispy. Another way to reheat rice and other grains is in a pot with some extra water. The water will add moisture back to the grains, and will bring the grains back to their original consistency. Pour the grains into a pot with ½ cup (118 ml) of water or broth. Heat the grains on medium until warmed through. As the grains cook, stir them every five minutes to ensure even heating. Turning on the oven for a slice of pizza is a waste of energy, and you can actually get a crispier crust by pan frying. Heat a dry cast iron pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the pizza and place a lid over the pan. Heat the pizza for three to four minutes, until it’s hot and the cheese is gooey. Add a tablespoon (15 ml) of oil or butter to a skillet, wok, or cast iron pan. Heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add your meat or stir fry and turn the heat to low. Cook and stir regularly for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dish is warmed through.

Hydroquinone is a very effective bleaching cream which can significantly reduce the appearance of age spots.  It is available in concentrations up to 2% over-the-counter, but higher concentrations will require a prescription from your doctor. Be aware that hydroquinone has been banned in many European and Asian countries, due to its potential carcinogenic properties. However, it is still widely available in the US. Retin-A is an excellent anti-aging skin care product which is used to combat fine lines and wrinkles, improve the skin's texture and elasticity and fade discoloration and sun damage, including age spots.  Retin-A is a vitamin A derivative which is available in cream or gel form, in a variety of different strengths. It is only available by prescription, so you will need to see your doctor before you start using it. It helps to eliminate age spots by exfoliating the skin, removing the outer hyperpigmented layer and revealing the fresh, new skin underneath. The combination of these 2 ingredients has been shown to help lighten age spots. Talk to your dermatologist to see what they recommend, or check labels on products to find 1 that contains both. You may be able to find a skin cream or lotion that contains both of these ingredients. Sunscreen won't actually help to reduce the appearance of your existing age spots, but it will prevent new ones from forming (as they are caused primarily by sun damage).  In addition, the sunscreen will prevent your existing sunspots from becoming any darker or more noticeable. You should wear a sunscreen with a zinc oxide base and an SPF of at least 15 every day, even if it's not hot or sunny.

TL;DR in English: Use hydroquinone cream. Try Retin-A. Look for products that contain salicylic and ellagic acid. Apply sunscreen before heading outdoors.

Greet your special person with a smile, and smile often while you are with her (without faking it). Smiling will not only make you feel happier, but it will make you sound happier and more positive. It will also let her know that you’re happy to see her, and that you’re interested in what she’s saying. Pay attention to what the person has going on in her life, like her hobbies and what she does at work or in school. Take note of people she frequently mentions; these people are probably important to her in one way or another.  Give the person your full attention, don’t play on your phone or computer. Giving someone your full attention makes them feel more heard and appreciated. Some common people are siblings, parents, grandparents, and close friends. She may also mention pets, children, or even classmates and colleagues. Try to learn about these people and their relationship with your special friend. Sometimes it is best to just listen, and not offer solutions. For example: your friend tells you that she’s frustrated with her basketball coach. Say something like, “That does sound really frustrating, I’m sorry you had to go through that.” Avoid saying things like, “I know exactly how that feels”, because chances are you don’t fully understand what she’s going through and it might make her feel bad. Instead, practice empathy by showing kindness and paying attention to the needs the other person expresses. This is a good time to reach back to things you've learned about your friend. Ask her about a specific person or event she mentioned last time you talked. Asking questions will show that you care about what she does and what she loves. Pay attention and try to remember the details of her stories. The next time you talk, ask her how these things are going. For example: You remember that she is very close with her brother, and the last time they hung out was over spring break when they went on a family trip to the beach. Ask her how her brother is doing, and if she has seen him lately. Maybe ask her if she's...

TL;DR in English: Smile. Listen. Ask about the person's life. Share a memory. Slightly touch the person often.

If you are in an altercation, reaching out to an authority figure can keep you out of trouble. Schedule an appointment with your counselor and ask them for advice. You can explain your situation using fake names if that helps you feel more comfortable about opening up. You can reveal as much or as little as you choose. Overall, your counselor will just want to make sure that you are safe. There is no shame in asking your peers for help if you are in trouble. Call a friend that you trust. A friend can also have your back if you need them during the fight. Come up with a signal word between the two of you so that your friend will know right away if you're in trouble. If you are anticipating a fight and hope to avoid it, walk around with a large group of people or with a trustworthy friend. If you outnumber the bully or if there is a large audience, he or she will feel less emboldened to threaten or intimidate you. Trusted adults can give you helpful advice on how to handle a bully or how to evade a fight. Ask an adult you trust if they have ever gotten into a fight, and ask how they would handle the situation if they were in your shoes. Coaches, parents, and other mentors can give you tips on the best ways to defend yourself and won't judge you if you admit to feeling scared. Keep your life stress-free and get help from an adult who cares about your wellbeing. Remember that it's takes strength and bravery to try to avoid a fight altogether.

The secretary is usually responsible for taking meeting minutes, but if this is not the case for your organization, you will need to appoint someone to record the contents of the AGM.  Keep a record of any decisions made at the AGM, especially those regarding elections and changes to the organization's constitution. It can also be a wise idea to record the names and contact information of the attendees. You can do this by instructing the attendees to sign in as they arrive. Open the AGM with a formal greeting. During this greeting, make sure that the meeting agenda and annual reports are being distributed to the attendees.  Declare the meeting to be open. As you do so, state the organization's full name and the current AGM number (the twenty-second Annual General Meeting, the thirty-nine Annual General Meeting, etc.). Welcome all members and name any special visitors. If any officer or significant member is absent, you may want to briefly state the names of those absent after your welcome message.  You may invite other present members to make apologies on behalf of additional absent attendees, as well. Make a formal motion to accept the apologies. Verify that everyone has received a copy of the meetings from last year's AGM. Review these minutes and, when all issues are addressed, move to formally accept the minutes.  If there are any amendments or corrections that need to be made, they must be made before the minutes are accepted. After voting to accept the minutes, the chairperson will need to sign off on them. Topics that are related to the minutes from your previous AGM should be addressed immediately after those minutes are accepted. Discuss the matters as needed. This is usually a time to present concerns and observations, so formal motions may not be necessary. You will need to discuss the president's or chair-person's report, the secretary's report, and the treasurer's report.  Read and discuss each report one by one. After each report has been reviewed thoroughly, you should make a formal motion to...

TL;DR in English: Take minutes. Welcome the attendees. Make any necessary apologies. Review the previous meeting minutes. Introduce any new matters. Review the reports. Go through any elections. Discuss general business. Set a date for the next meeting. Close the meeting.

These are generally available at most large retail stores, but you may find more options at beauty supply stores. A waxing product such as Nair Roll-On Wax is a good choice because it has a roll-on applicator that dispenses an even amount of wax over the surface. These can be bought (sometimes coming with the wax) or homemade. It's a good idea to make strips of varying sizes (from 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm)). If you opted for the homemade route, search your closet for an old t-shirt or piece of cotton fabric. Cut it up into strips like you would any other material. Bonus -- if you take good care of them, you can use them again after a thorough washing (if your wax is water-soluble). This is super important--the wax needs to stick.  Trim the hair to 1/4 - 1/2 inch (.63 - 1.2 cm) for easiest removal.  Apply baby/talcum powder to the parts you´re going to wax. This makes the wax stick to the hair and NOT your skin, and significantly reduces the amount of pain. If you pain starts increasing, apply more powder. Especially if the environment you're doing it in is rather warm. Have a paper towel or cloth nearby. For waxes that dissolve in water, a damp cloth is fine. Otherwise, you may moisten a cotton ball with simple baby oil. That removes excess wax very well and leaves skin smooth. Apply the wax in the same direction the hair grows, in thin strips.  With one hand, stretch that skin taut. Use paper towels to grip the skin so that it does not slip. Rip off the wax with the other hand in the opposite direction to hair growth. Doing this gives you better results and hurts much less.  Do not apply too much wax as the waxing strips may not adhere to the hair. Place a mirror between your legs so that you can wax the areas you cannot see. A compact mirror is sufficient. Because the bikini area is very sensitive, it may take more than one session to remove all the hair.  Hair in some areas may be easier to remove than others. This is contingent upon how thick the hair is. You may have to stop if the area becomes too red and...

Turn the microwave on for 15 seconds. Turn the microwave on for another 15 seconds. When the 15 seconds are up, flip the paper towels and pastry sheet and turn the microwave on for another 15 seconds.

Remove 1 pastry sheet from the packaging. Place the pastry sheet in the microwave on high for 30 seconds.

Even if you have enough fat in your diet, you still won’t absorb vitamin A well if you have a medical condition that limits your body’s ability to absorb the fats you eat. Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, disease of the liver or gall bladder, cystic fibrosis, and problems with your pancreas can affect your fat absorption. These will require treatment or additional vitamin A supplementation to get your RDA of vitamin A. How you absorb fat is also decreased if you have had part or all of your stomach removed, such as after certain kinds of weight-loss surgeries. Alcohol can interfere with your body’s ability to absorb vitamin A (and other needed nutrients).Stop drinking alcohol altogether, or limit your alcohol intake to, say, one glass daily to maintain good health and promote vitamin absorption. The prescription medication Orlistat is used to help people lose weight, but because of how it works it can interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamin A. Olestra, a fat substitute sometimes added to food, can cause similar problems. Avoid these if you require a vitamin A supplement. If you are at risk for vitamin A deficiency, speak to your healthcare provider about any medications that you are taking. Some cholesterol medicines called bile acid sequestrants, like cholestyramine and colestipol, can block vitamin A absorption; another kind of cholesterol medicine, called statins, can actually help vitamin A absorption. Omeprazole (Prilosec) is used for heartburn and reflux, and can cause absorption issues, as can the antibiotic Neomycin. Switching to different medicines with your doctor's advice can help. Discuss your medicines and your vitamins with your doctor, to avoid any interactions. Say something like, “My dietician wants me to take a vitamin A supplement. Will that cause any problems with the medicines you prescribe to me?”

TL;DR in English: Treat digestive conditions medically. Drink less alcohol. Avoid weight-loss medications. Change your medicines that block vitamin A absorption.

Most students of philosophy will need to read through philosophical readings several times before they fully understand them. As you advance in your studies, you may work out your own system of reading. At the start, however, it can be helpful to work through a reading four times.  During the first reading, look at the table of contents, key points, and/or glossary, then quickly scan through the passage itself. Move quickly, reading one page in roughly 30 to 60 seconds. Underline terms and ideas that jump out at you in pencil. Mark any unfamiliar terms, as well. For the second reading, flip through the text at a similar pace, but stop to look up any terms or phrases you do not recognize and cannot define by context. Your focus should still be on identifying key terms and ideas. Check off paragraphs you think you understand in pencil, and mark those you do not understand with a question mark or "x." During the third reading, go back to the sections you marked with a question mark or "x" and read them in greater detail. Check them off if you reach an understanding, or mark them with a second question mark or "x" if you do not grasp their meaning. During the fourth reading, quickly review the text again to remind yourself of the main focus and key arguments. If you're reading for class, identify the marked passages you had difficulty with so that you can ask questions. The only way to familiarize yourself with philosophy is to immerse yourself in the philosophical works of others. If you do not read philosophy, you will not be able to speak or write it.  When studying philosophy for a class or degree program, you should always do the readings assigned to you. Listening to others' interpretations of those readings in class is not a good substitution. You need to review and grapple with the ideas on your own instead of having others do the work for you. Reading on your own is also beneficial. As you become more familiar with different branches of philosophy, you can gradually begin selecting your own readings on...

TL;DR in English: Read through the text multiple times. Read as much as possible. Consider the context of the work. Determine the theses. Look for supporting arguments. Assess each argument. Evaluate the argument as a whole.

Start by identifying the year that you want to check and then get out a physical calendar or open an online calendar to check that year. If you are using an online calendar, then you should be able to look back or ahead by at least a few years.  For example, if you want to see if 2016 was a leap year, go back to that year’s calendar. If you want to check if 2021 is a leap year, go to that year online. Leap years always result in 1 extra day that is placed at the end of February, since this is the shortest month in the year. Turn to that month in the calendar and check to see if there is a February 29th listed. If there is, then it is a leap year. If February only goes through the 28th, then it is not a leap year. Each year lasts about 365 days and slightly under 6 hours. That extra 6 hours adds up to an extra day over the course of 4 years, which is why leap years occur almost every 4 years. Count ahead 4 years from the last leap year to estimate when the next leap year will be. For example, since 2016 was a leap year, you could count ahead 4 years to 2020 as a way to predict the next leap year.

TL;DR in English: Locate the year you want to know about in a calendar. Turn to February and see if there is a 29th day. Expect another leap year in 4 years.

Use the microwave if you need to thaw your pastry sheets as fast as possible. The puff pastry won't need to be microwaved or thawed if it can be folded easily. The pastry sheet should be cold to the touch when you use it. If the sheet is room temperature or warmer, return it to the fridge and give it some time to chill. Don't manipulate a pastry sheet that's not fully thawed as this could lead to the sheet tearing. Place the towels and pastry sheet on the plate in your microwave. Turn the microwave to the "high" setting and turn the microwave on for 15 seconds. When the 15 seconds are up, flip the paper towels and pastry sheet and turn the microwave on for another 15 seconds. If the pastry sheet doesn't fold easily after coming out of the microwave, place it back in on "high" for another 5 seconds on each side. Keep microwaving for 5 seconds on each side until the pastry sheet folds easily.

Studies show that significant alcohol intake can contribute to the development of breast cancer. Try to limit your alcohol intake to no more than one alcoholic drink per day. The carcinogenic properties of tobacco have been linked to a variety of different cancers, including breast cancer. If you smoke, talk to your doctor about the best way to reduce or eliminate your tobacco use. There is some evidence that your diet can affect your risk for breast cancer and other types of cancer. The Mediterranean Diet may be particularly helpful for reducing your risk of getting breast cancer. A good diet can also help you maintain a healthy weight, which is an important factor in breast cancer prevention. The Mediterranean Diet is recommended by the Mayo Clinic for breast and heart health. This diet focuses on plant based nutrition (fruits, vegetables, mixed nuts, and legumes), use of healthy fats (olive oil, canola oil), and a reduced intake of salt and red meat. Not only is exercise good for your body, but it helps you to maintain a healthy weight. Studies show that people who are physically active are less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Try to exercise at least four hours a week. Avoid radiation-based medical imaging techniques, like X-rays, CT scans, or PET scans, unless you and your doctor feel that they are medically necessary. Exposure to radiation can put you at risk for breast cancer and other types of cancer. Long-term exposure to hormones in hormone replacement therapy or hormonal birth control has been linked to an increased risk of developing breast cancer. If you are taking or considering birth control pills or other forms of hormone-based therapy, talk to your doctor about the potential risks and benefits. Discuss how you can limit or reduce the dose and duration of your therapy in order to minimize the risk of developing breast cancer. Not all mothers are able to breastfeed, but if it works for you and your child, breastfeeding can be beneficial to your breast health. Breastfeeding has been...

TL;DR in English: Reduce alcohol use. Avoid using tobacco. Maintain a healthy diet. Get plenty of exercise. Limit unnecessary exposure to radiation. Talk to your doctor about the risks of hormone therapy. Breastfeed, if you can.

Even the smallest amount of water can cause your chocolate to seize, or become dry, hard, and grainy. Before you get started, make sure your double boiler, cutting board, spoon, and any other tools you’ll use are clean, then dry them thoroughly. If you do happen to introduce a bit of water into the chocolate while melting, a little bit of vegetable oil will make the chocolate more usable, but it may still be grainy. Pour enough water into the double boiler to cover the bottom of the pot, but not so much that the water touches the top bowl. Then, turn your stove to medium and heat the water until it starts to steam.  If you don’t have a double boiler, place a glass, ceramic, or metal bowl over a pot of steaming water. Avoid using plastic, as it could melt or potentially release chemicals into the chocolate.  If the top bowl comes into contact with the hot water, the bowl might get too hot, scorching your chocolate instead of melting it.

TL;DR in English: Work with clean, dry kitchen tools and dishes. Fill the bottom of your double boiler with water and heat it.

It's important that you don't come on too strong with a new romantic interest. Text something light and innocent to start the conversation. For instance, you could say something like, “Hey, hope you're well. Just thinking about you” or “Hey, I can't stop thinking about that cute, boyish smile of yours.” Compliments are a great way to |increase intimacy and can act as a lead-in for more steamy conversations. Just make sure the compliment is sincere and something you think he'll appreciate hearing.  “Hey handsome!” is always a good start, especially if it's a relatively new relationship. Or you could try something funny and a little more bold like, “I can't stop laughing about our conversation the other night, I love how dirty-minded you are.” to gradually build up to more evocative topics. The key to turning him on is to start slow and work your way up (just as you would in person). Try to make him laugh, show him how funny/clever you are, and/or show him you care about him.  For instance, you might text, “I think that story you told me last night broke my abs from laughing too hard” or “How did your interview go today? Did they appreciate your sharp wit like I do?” Texting him something hot and heavy from the get-go can be awkward (and creepy if you don't know each other that well yet). Use what you're doing to shift the conversation to something more suggestive. You don't necessarily have to stick to the facts here—he won't know either way! For example, you might say, “I'm trying to work but can't stop thinking about this really sexy, smart man that I went out with last night…” If you're trying to turn him on, don't annoy him! If he's a new interest, he might think you're needy. And if he's a stable partner, he might get irritated instead of turned on. Don't send more than two texts back to back without a response.  If he doesn't respond, don't freak out and flood his messages. He's probably busy! If you overdo it and responds in a way that suggests he's annoyed or intimidated, take it as a lesson and be...

Avoid sending a lot of texts back-to-back. Don't text him something naughty when you know it's an inappropriate time. Keep the conversation short to leave him wanting more. Avoid sending unsolicited nude pictures.

If you’re wearing casual pants – light jeans or cargo pants – a wide belt is best. If you’re wearing dressier pants – dress pants, chinos, or dark denim – you should choose a narrower belt.  Wide here means around 1.5 in (3.8 cm). Narrow is around 1.25 in (3.2 cm). If you’re wearing black shoes, you should choose a black belt, regardless of width. The same goes for brown shoes – wear a brown belt.  If you can only afford 1 belt right now, pick a black one. Black will blend in with your pants and you can therefore wear it with pretty much anything. You can also get reversible belts, with 1 black side and 1 brown side, for more variety. Your pants should be in the same color family as your shoes. So black or dark blue pants with black shoes, and khakis or lighter gray pants with brown shoes. Width and color are the most important things to consider when matching your belt and your outfit. But matching the material of your belt and shoes will make you look even more put together! Wear a leather belt if you’re wearing leather shoes, a canvas belt if you’re wearing canvas shoes, and a suede belt if you’re wearing suede shoes.  If you’re dressed up, leather or suede shoes and belts are bets. If you’re going for a more casual look, a canvas belt with canvas shoes is fine.

Don’t assume that every bike rack is a safe option. Use an object with these attributes when locking your bike:   Thick and sturdy. Don’t select a wooden fence or thin steel object that can quickly be cut apart.  Hard to disassemble. Check metal racks or railings for

Reassure your date that you aren’t in a hurry if they feel apprehensive. Don't take rejection personally. Take your time introducing your date to your child. Find a good balance for co-parenting.

Brushing and flossing every day and after meals can maintain the health of your teeth, fillings, and gums. A clean environment may help you avoid further fillings as well as unsightly stains.  Make sure to brush and floss after meals if you can. If you have food stuck in your teeth, it promotes an environment that is rife for further cavities and can damage current fillings. If you don’t have a toothbrush, chewing a piece of gum can help.  Coffee, tea, and wine can stain your filling and your teeth. If you drink any of these beverages, Try to brush your teeth afterward to prevent staining. Tobacco and smoking can also stain your fillings and teeth. Sugary and acidic foods and beverages may contribute to your need for fillings, and controlling your intake of them can lead to better oral health. Tooth decay can easily occur underneath an existing filling. Over time fillings will naturally breakdown and leak, so it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and good hygiene to prevent decay from forming under existing fillings, too. Brushing your teeth after consuming these foods may help prevent you from needing further fillings.  If you can’t brush, because for example you're at school, then rinse your mouth with water. Increase your water intake. Limit your snacking frequency, avoid sticky foods. Eat a healthy and well-balanced diet of lean protein, fruits and vegetables, and legumes can help with your overall well-being, including oral health. Even some healthy foods are acidic, including citrus fruits. Continue eating these, but limit how much you consume and consider brushing your teeth when you’re done. Consider diluting juices with 50/50 water. Examples of sugary and acidic foods and beverages are soft drinks, sweets, candies, and wine. Sports drinks, energy drinks, and coffee with added sugar also count. If you have multiple fillings, ask your dentist to prescribe you a fluoride gel or paste. Fluoride helps to protect your teeth from new cavities and can promote general oral health Fluoride gel or paste...

TL;DR in English: Brush and floss every day, including after meals. Control your intake of sugary and acidic foods and beverages. Use fluoride gels. Avoid mouthwashes and toothpastes that contain alcohol. Don't grind your teeth. Get regular checkups and cleanings at your dentist’s office.

Cover the genital area with waterproof covering during the first few days, when taking a shower or bathing, and keep the area very clean when using the restroom. The wound needs to be kept dry to facilitate quick healing.  Your doctor will offer more specific instructions and topical medication, but in general you'll want to keep the area as clean and dry as possible. You may be catheterized for a few days after the procedure in order to aid in keeping the penis dry. Your doctor will remove your catheter once the healing has begun. Change your underwear throughout the day to keep the area very clean. Also wear loose fitting clothing around the area to keep air circulating regularly. Avoid tight fitting jeans, and consider some cotton short pants or other loose clothing. You can use surgical vaseline to keep the area from sticking to clothes or gauze. The doctor will probably prescribe analgesic cream or other topical ointments, and apply them regularly as directed. You may also want to add some petroleum jelly to the area to avoid chafing during your recovery.

TL;DR in English: Keep the area clean and dry. Wear loose cotton underwear. Use medication as directed.

When possible, avoid leaving your bike in areas with high incidents of bike theft. Your local bike shop or police department should know where the most bike theft occurs. People hanging around near a bike rack may be there to steal bikes or to tip off a bike thief as soon as you leave. Thieves know where commuters typically leave their bikes unattended for a full workday, and will be more confident about spending a long time to steal a bike. The more pedestrians there are, and the easier they can see your bike, the harder it is for a thief to unobtrusively break your locks. If possible, place your bike in view of a nearby building's video surveillance camera. Even if this fails to deter a thief, you may be able to obtain footage of the theft to aid in recovery. Don't assume that every bike rack is a safe option. Use an object with these attributes when locking your bike:   Thick and sturdy. Don't select a wooden fence or thin steel object that can quickly be cut apart.  Hard to disassemble. Check metal racks or railings for bolts; these can be removed by a dedicated thief.  Firmly fastened to the ground. A strong thief or a team of thieves could simply pick up and remove a heavy object with the bike attached. Shake signposts to test whether they are anchored firmly to the pavement.  Impossible to lift the bike over. A tall thief could simply lift your bike over the top of the object and take it home to remove the lock in private. Try to use something that is attached to the ground in two places, such as a sturdy bike rack, since a very dedicated thief could use a rope to hoist your bike even over a relatively tall object. The bikes at the end of a row of bikes are most visible to thieves but also the easiest for them to work on unobtrusively. Make sure you don't lock your bike to another bike with a careless cable lock.

TL;DR in English: Know the neighborhood. Try not to lock your bike in front of loiterers. Don't use a train station or other commuter location. Select a well-lit area with plenty of foot traffic. Find an immovable object for locking the bike. Lock your bike between other bikes when possible.

If your date seems unsure about the idea of dating a single mom, but they also seem to really like you, let them know that you don’t have any expectations of them, and you’re not in a hurry to find your child a new parent. Try saying something like, “We’re doing fine on our own, but I think it’s really important for me to still enjoy adult relationships.” Sometimes, you might come across someone who’s just not ready to have a child in their life. This can be really hard, especially if you like the person a lot, but try to remind yourself that it doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you; it’s just the situation you’re both in. Respect their choice and keep looking for the person who’s right for you.  If a rejection is making you feel bad about yourself, boost your self-esteem by making a list of reasons why you're a great catch. Reread the list whenever you doubt your worth. Remind yourself that it’s best to find out early on if the other person isn’t interested in dating someone with a child. A rejection would hurt a lot more later, once you’re beginning to feel more invested in the relationship. Even if your date is totally cool with you being a single mom, you should still wait until you’re sure the relationship is stable and serious before you bring your date around your child. Usually, you should wait until you’ve been dating someone for a few months before setting up an introduction with your child.  Children form attachments easily, and it can be really hard on a child to have a steady stream of dates entering and leaving their life, especially if they’ve already experienced their parents splitting up. If you’re not sure where you stand, talk to your date to gauge how serious you are. A simple question like, "So, are we exclusive?" or "Where do you see this going?" can help you determine if you’re both on the same page. When it’s time, try to set up the meeting in a way that will make your child comfortable, like inviting your date over to your house for pizza and a movie. If the other parent hasn’t...

Unlike regular health insurance, long-term health insurance is designed to pay for long-term care, which may include nursing home care, in-home care or medical equipment. When evaluating long-term health insurance polices, you should carefully select a policy that covers nursing home care if you reasonably believe that you will not have someone to care for you at home should you fall ill and become unable to care for yourself.  It is best to acquire long-term health insurance when you are younger and in good health. As you get older, long-term health insurance becomes much more expensive and many seniors are either unable to afford or qualify for a policy. Another way to pay for nursing home care is to cash in your whole life insurance policy. Certain policies allow policyholders to cash in their insurance policy for 50 to 75 percent of the face value of the policy.  Keep in mind that this is only an option for whole life policies, not term life policies where there is no cash value. Depending on your individual life insurance policy, there are two ways that you can cash in your policy: accelerated benefit or life settlement. If you qualify for an accelerated benefit, the insurance company will pay between 60 and 80 percent of the face value of the policy. Under certain policies, you may have to be suffering from a terminal illness in order to qualify for an accelerated benefit. A life settlement is a policy payout that you negotiate with an outside company not the insurance company that issued the policy. These settlement companies look at the value of your policy, your age, and your health and pay you between 40 and 75 percent of the face value of the policy. Depending on the health and age of an individual, it may be possible to sell some term policies. Before negotiating a life settlement, you should speak with an elder law attorney as there may be tax and Medicaid implications from receiving the proceeds of the policy through a settlement company. While Medicare does not pay the cost of long-term nursing...

TL;DR in English: Purchase long-term health insurance. Cash in your life insurance. Check Medicare benefits.

Being with your family and friends can improve your mood. However, they might not visit as often as you'd like because they're not sure what you want. Call, text, or message people to tell them you want visitors. Specify the best times to visit and ask them to come. Say, “I really want to see my family right now. Please visit me around dinner time so we can talk. Which days this week are you available?” Sharing your feelings will help you feel more at peace. Additionally, it gives your family and friends great memories to cherish. Make a list of the people you want to talk to before you go. Then, start checking them off.  For instance, tell family and friends how much you love them. Say, “Thank you,” to people you need to thank. Forgive people who hurt you in the past. Apologize for mistakes you made. Think about your life and your best memories. Talk to your friends and relatives about your experiences and what they meant to you. If you can, look at photos to help you remember what was important to you in life. This will help you realize how full and meaningful your life truly was, which can help you be at peace. Identify activities or experiences that you can still enjoy in your final days. Then, reach out to friends and family to make these things happen. Don’t stress about checking items off. Just enjoy the time you have by doing the things that are possible. For example, drive to the Grand Canyon, watch the sunset on the West Coast, or go on a cruise.

TL;DR in English: Invite your friends and family to visit as often as they can. Tell the people you care about how you feel. Identify the relationships and experiences that gave your life meaning. Check items off your bucket list if you can.

For a simpler example (Example A), try 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. For more of a challenge (Example B), try 232, 233, 234, 235, 236. For Example A, 15 x 5 = 75. For Example B, 236 x 5 = 1,180. For Example A, 75 - 10 = 65. For Example B, 1,180 - 10 = 1,170. For Example A, (11 x 5) + 10 = 55 + 10 = 65. For Example B, (232 x 5) + 10 = 1,160 + 10 = 1,170. As you can see, you end up with the same results. In Example A, 13 is the middle number, and 13 x 5 = 65. In Example B, 234 is the middle number, and 234 x 5 = 1,170. To do Example B in your head, remember that you can break it up: (200 x 5 = 1,000) + (30 x 5 = 150) + (4 x 5 = 20) = 1,000 + 150 + 20 = 1,170. Use x = (n x ((n + 1) / 2)) - ((a - 1) x (a / 2)), where x = the sum, n = the highest number, and a = the lowest number.  For Example A:  x = (15 x (16 / 2)) - (10 x 5.5) x = (15 x 8) - 55 x = 120 - 55 = 65   For Example B:  x = (236 x (237 / 2)) - (231 x 116) x = (236 x 118.5) - 26796 x = 27966 - 26796 = 1170

TL;DR in English: Pick any 5 consecutive numbers. Multiply the highest number by 5. Subtract 10 from your result to get the sum of the series. Use the lowest number instead by multiplying by 5 and adding 10. Compare your result to multiplying the middle number by 5. Use the formula to further confirm your result.

Wait another 24 hours after your strand dries to determine the results of the test. This will allow any allergic reactions to fully develop, and let you observe the color of the dyed strand in different lights and get used to the color.  If you know you are not allergic to the ingredients in your particular dye, you can perform the full dye on the rest of your hair right after the strand test, though waiting a full day can still be beneficial to help you get a better idea of the color. During the 24-hour period, test the condition of your hair by feeling its texture compared to your non-dyed hair and stretching out an individual hair to see how it behaves. Damaged hair will feel dry or coarser than normal, and will not resume its normal shape or length after being pulled.  To do a more accurate allergy test, you should perform a separate patch test by applying a small amount of dye to your inner elbow and observing your skin after 48 hours. If you notice any redness, itching, swelling, or pain with either a strand or patch test, you should wash off the dye immediately and not use it again. Look at your dyed strand when it is fully dry. If the color is darker than you wanted, leave the dye on for a shorter period of time or select a lighter shade when you dye your full head of hair.  The color on your hair strand may turn out darker if your hair is dry and brittle from excessive heat exposure or previous dyes. You may want to treat dry hair for a few weeks or months before you do a full dye. Color can also turn out darker if your hair is currently a lighter shade or if you’ve had it previously bleached or permed. Observe your fully dried hair strand to see if the new color is lighter than you want or expected. If so, leave the dye in for longer or select a darker shade of dye when you treat your full head of hair.  Your hair may not take the color as well if it has been recently shampooed or if you have previously colored your hair using henna, which can leave a residue that prevents dye from working as well....

Sand down the surface of the door.

Two tests, electroencephalography (ENG) or videonystagmography (VNG), are used to test eye movement. The first one uses electrodes while the second one uses tiny cameras. Essentially, this test looks at the movements your eyes make when air or water are used to stimulate the organs that maintain your balance.  With an ENG, the technician or doctor will place electrodes around your eyes to test movement. VNG uses special goggles. The doctor is looking to see if your eyes are making involuntary movements. If they are, you may have an issue with the organs that maintain your balance. Your doctor may also order imaging tests, such as an MRI. With this test, the doctor will scan your body to look for anything else that may be causing your issues. For instance, sometimes a benign brain tumor may be causing the vertigo. This test is designed to analyze issues with your balance. It looks at how you are using your inner ear, feet, and eyes to maintain balance and where they may be having issues. In turn, this information can be used to help you work on your vertigo. If you are having ear problems, such as hearing loss or ringing in your ear, it may be appropriate for you to see a specialist. The ENT specialist will likely test your hearing with an audiometry test, as well as check your ears for infection or blockages.

TL;DR in English: Be ready for a test of eye movement. Expect imaging tests. Take a typography test. Ask about an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for hearing loss.

A silent migraine is when you have a migraine, but you skip the pain part of the process. In other words, you have other symptoms such as aura, but you don't actually get a headache. You may also go through the preliminary phases that many migraine sufferers go through, which are symptoms that warn of an oncoming migraine.  These types of migraines are referred to by many names, including a migraine aura without headache, an acephalgic migraine, an amigranous migraine, or a migraine equivalent. These types of migraines are treated similarly to other types of migraines. Generally, you're more at risk for silent migraines if you had migraines with auras in your teens or 20s. Because silent migraines are still migraines, they tend to show up in people who've had migraines with auras in the past. The main symptoms of a silent migraine are auras, which can include vision changes such as halos or spots in your vision, blurry vision, cloudy vision, or shimmering vision. You might also see dark areas, flashes, or odd 3D effects.  You may also find you have problems with speech. Other aura symptoms include feeling tingling or numbness, feeling like you're on pins and needles, feeling weak or clumsy, and/or feeling dizzy or off-balance. You may also have mood swings, a loss of memory, hearing loss, stomach troubles, and/or confusion. Some people even get hiccups or have a distorted image of their bodies. Others may have less sensitivity to touch or hypersensitivity. Silent migraines are sometimes referred to as "ocular migraines" or "retinal migraines." However, these conditions are not interchangeable. Ocular migraines refer to silent migraines that affect the vision. Retinal migraines, however, are different. They usually only affect one eye at a time, causing blurriness or even temporary blindness. If you experience migraine-like symptoms in one eye only, you should see an eye specialist.

TL;DR in English: Learn what a "silent migraine" is. Know who's most at risk. Watch for the symptoms. Distinguish a silent migraine from a retinal migraine.

Get out 2 bunches of radishes and rinse them to remove any dirt or grit. Set the radishes on a cutting board and trim off the greens. Set the greens aside to use as a garnish for the soup. Use a sharp knife to slice the trimmed radishes into 1/4-inch (1-cm) thick slices. You'll need 2 cups (230 g) of sliced radishes. Use your favorite radishes such as red, pink, purple, or daikon. Place the remaining 1/4 cup (30 g) of sliced radishes on a cutting board. Cut the radishes into long thin strips the size of matchsticks. Pour the soup into 4 serving bowls and sprinkle a little of the radish matchsticks on top. Dollop 1 tablespoon (12 g) of reduced-fat sour cream on top of each bowl of soup. Roughly chop the reserved radish greens and sprinkle them over the soup. Store the leftover soup in an airtight container. Refrigerate and use the soup within 3 days. Warm the soup for 1 to 2 minutes in the microwave or heat it on the stove for about 5 minutes.

TL;DR in English: Rinse and slice the radishes. Cut the rest of the radishes into matchsticks. Garnish the soup and serve it.

Depending on how the door was damaged, there may be some loose splinters or fragments around the edges of the hole or crack. Rather than trying to repair these, use a utility knife to cut away any damaged wood until you’re left with a clean hole free from rough edges.  Always cut away from yourself when working with a utility knife, especially when cutting through something sturdy like wood. You may need to make the hole or crack bigger before you can begin repairing it. It’s much easier to repair a larger hole free from damaged wood than it is to repair a smaller one that’s fragmented or broken. While the paper towels won’t make the door stronger or repair it, they are an easy and affordable way to hold the insulation foam in place while it dries. Bunch up a few paper towels and stuff them around the bottom and sides of the hole or crack you want to repair. Paper towels work as they are light enough to hold their own weight inside the door. If you don’t have paper towels, use some tissue paper or something similarly light. Expanding insulation foam comes in a spray can with a long nozzle on the top. Point the nozzle into the hole or crack in your door and begin spraying. The foam will expand to fill the space inside the door, with any excess expanding outside the hole through the face of the door. Expanding insulation foam should be available online or from your local hardware store. For a smaller space, a low-expansion type may be easier to handle. Once the insulation foam has filled in the hole or crack, it needs to dry all the way through before it can be cut or sanded down. Leave the foam to sit for 4 to 5 hours or ideally overnight so that it can dry completely. Check the instructions on your own brand of insulation foam for more guidance on how long it will take to dry. Position a utility knife slightly above any protruding insulation foam so that it is flush with the face of the door. Run the knife down the face of the door to cut away any excess foam, trimming it until the foam sits no more than 0.1...

Never underestimate the power of eye contact. Eye contact can be used to flirt. First, eye contact is simply a polite thing to do to show a person that you are paying attention to them. Letting her know that you are giving her your full attention will show your interest in her. If the girl is across the room, make eye contact with her. Look at her, catch her eye, and then quickly look away. Look the girl directly in the eye anytime she is talking, or even if she isn’t talking. Smiling is another polite gesture that can also be used to flirt. You don’t have to overdo it, but smiling at her will give her reassurance that you like her. Look her in the eyes and smile at her while you are conversing with her. If you happen to catch her eye while you are in the same room, give her a friendly smile. When you are talking or walking next to each other, touch her gently. You can touch her arm, back, or shoulder. Touch her just for a moment, or keep it there for a few seconds. Some people don’t like being touched, so if she expresses that she doesn’t like it, refrain from doing it. Hand holding is a sweet and simple gesture that never goes out of style. You can hold hands at any point in a relationship. If the flirtation is very new, wait until you are confident that she will enjoy holding hands with you. Take her hand when you are walking together. Hold her hand when you’re sitting next to her. If she wasn’t sure that you were flirting before, this will make it obvious. Move on to physical affection if she seems to be comfortable with the flirting or has stated that she likes you too. Give her a hug when you see her and when you say goodbye. Put your arm around her when you sit next to her. Comfort her with a hug when she’s upset, and hug her when something good has happened to her. Stop the physical contact if she seems uncomfortable or tells you that she doesn’t like it.

TL;DR in English: Make eye contact. Smile at her. Touch her arm or shoulder. Hold her hand. Hug her.

One way to help make the transition easier is to find options that are within budget for her if she will have trouble doing this herself. Go and view them yourself before you take her to see if they're her taste.  Make it close to you. That way, she won't feel like you want her out of your life completely. Don't decide for her. Even if she needs some help with care, it should still be her decision where she lives, unless she can't decide at all. Many families are in mult-generational housing, which can take on many forms. One option is having a separate apartment for your mother-in-law, so she has her own space. If that's the option you choose, you'll need to find a new house that has this option.  In this instance, she'll still be close by, but you can have more separate lives. It can also help alleviate the guilt your spouse may feel about abandoning his parent. If you are being the caregiver for your mother-in-law, the next option may be independent or assisted living. These options allow your mother-in-law to have some independence, while still getting the care she needs. The problem is these options can be very expensive. Nonetheless, if your mother-in-law has exhausted other options, Medicaid will often pay for some form of assisted living.

TL;DR in English: Find a place for her to live. Consider a house with a backyard apartment. Look at assisted living.

if you have an allergic reaction. Although it’s uncommon, some people experience an allergic reaction after getting a no-see-um bite. This is an emergency situation that requires immediate care. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include the following:  Difficulty breathing Swelling of the tongue Hoarse voice Loss of consciousness Extreme itching Hives Tingling or itching in your mouth Unfortunately, the bite could become infected. This can result from a germ that was present on the fly’s stinger. Alternatively, scratching can lead to infection if the skin breaks. Symptoms to watch for include the following:  Fever Swollen glands Flu-like symptoms Pus Pain Swelling Redness The doctor may prescribe an antibiotic to treat an infection. It's important that you take all of the medicine. Otherwise, your symptoms may return. In rare cases, the doctor may administer steroid treatments to relieve extreme itching and inflammation. This may be an option if nothing else relieves your symptoms.  Steroids may be administered via injection or IV. The doctor may also prescribe a stronger hydrocortisone cream.

A great way for your kids to spend quality time with their grandparents is to plan a sleepover. Sleeping over at Grandma’s can help your child build her independence and confidence being away from Mom and Dad while having fun watching old Disney movies in Gran’s living room. A great adventure to foster bonding between grandparents and their grandchildren is a family vacation. Consider inviting your kids’ grandparents to the beach next summer, or take a weekend trip to the city where kids can visit the zoo and play in the park with Grandpa. If your family loves the outdoors, consider a camping trip at a state park. To reduce stress, consider booking separate accommodations for the grandparents. If you have multiple children it can be challenging for Grandma to get enough time with each of them during her weekly visits. Encourage your children’s grandparents to plan one-on-one excursions with your kids. This can be something as simple as catching a Saturday matinee or a more involved adventure like a weekend trip to see a show on Broadway. Make sure each child gets his or her own one-on-one adventure to avoid jealousy. Grandparents have skills that they can share with your kids, presenting a perfect opportunity for bonding between the two generations. Does Grandma have a secret family recipe for spaghetti? Does Grandpa still cook the borscht his mother taught him how to make years ago? Encourage your kids to ask their grandparents to share these skills with them. Hands-on skills like gardening, woodworking, or even bird watching can be a fantastic way for your kids to bond with their grandparents. If Grandpa has a skill set to share, encourage him to show your daughter or son how it’s done. Not only will this facilitate bonding, it will also ensure that the skills are passed on to the new generation.

TL;DR in English: Have a sleepover at Grandma’s. Plan a family vacation. Encourage one-on-one excursions. Cook one of Grandma’s secret recipes. Encourage Grandpa to share his gardening skills.

The phrase "Danke für die schöne Zeit" (DAHNK-uh fewr dee SHUHRN-uh siht) means "thank you for the wonderful time." It's appropriate if someone took you out on a date, as well as any other occasion in which someone treated you to something, such as dinner or a concert. You could also use this phrase with performers or entertainers who put on a show for you. The phrase "Danke für Ihre" (DAHNK-uh fewr EE-reh) essentially means "thank you for your hospitality." Whether you were a guest a hotel or in someone's home, this phrase is useful if you want to specifically thank someone for being warm and welcoming during your visit.  The same phrase can also be translated to mean "thanks for your help" or "thanks for your efforts." The use of "Ihre" is formal. If you want to speak more casually, you might say "deine Gastfreundschaft" (DIH-neh GAHST-froynd-shahft) to mean "thank you for your hospitality," or "deine Hilfe" (DIH-neh HILL-feh) for "thank you for your help." Whether it's for your birthday, a holiday, or "just because," if someone gives you a gift you might say "Danke für das schöne Geschenk" (DAHNK-uh fewr dahs SHUHRN-uh GEH-shehnk). This phrase means "thank you for the lovely gift." While in person, a simple "danke" might suffice, this phrase is most appropriate if you're sending someone a thank-you card, email, or letter. It's more specific and can serve as a reminder to them of why you're thanking them. " Particularly in written correspondence, you might want to tell someone "thank you" for something they haven't done yet. In that situation, you can use the phrase "danke im voraus" (DAHNK-uh ihm FOHR-ows), which literally means "thank you in advance." As in English, it generally isn't considered appropriate to use this phrase if you have any doubts about the person fulfilling your request. However, you might use it if you're just asking for general assistance, such as if you're asking for a recommendation or referral. The phrase "danke, gleichfalls" (DAHNK-uh GLIHSH-fahltz) is actually a combination of...

TL;DR in English: Say "Danke für die schöne Zeit" after a date. Go with "Danke für Ihre" when you are a guest. Switch to "Danke für das schöne Geschenk" if someone has given you a gift. Anticipate a favor or action by saying "Danke im voraus. Use "danke, gleichfalls" to respond to compliments or well wishes.

Pour ⅓ cup (177 ml) of water into a small saucepan. Carefully sprinkle 1 tablespoon (9.25 g) of powdered gelatin over the water, whisking the entire time to prevent lumps from forming.  Gelatin contains keratin proteins, which bind with the hair to strengthen it. If your hair needs extra moisture, you can substitute coconut milk for the water. You can also use peppermint, rosemary, or nettle herbal tea in place of the water. They help boost shine. Place the water and gelatin mixture on the stove, and turn the heat to medium. Allow the mixture to heat until steam starts rising from the saucepan, which should take approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Stir the mixture regularly as it heats so the gelatin doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Once the mixture is steaming, take the pan off the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Next, mix in 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon (7 g) of honey, stirring until all of the ingredients are fully combined.  The mixture should still be warm, but not hot enough to be uncomfortable to touch when you mix in the other ingredients. In addition to the vinegar and honey, you can mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons (50 to 100 g) of mashed banana or avocado or 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of oil, such as olive, coconut, almond or argan, for extra moisture. While the mixture is still warm, use your hands to work it through wet, clean hair from the roots to the ends. When your entire head is covered, let the mask sit on your hair for 10 to 30 minutes.  The longer you allow the mask to sit on your hair, the better results that you’ll see. If you plan to leave the mask on for longer than 10 minutes, put a shower cap over your head or wrap your hair in plastic wrap to keep the mask from drying out. When it’s time to remove the mask, use lukewarm water to carefully wash it out of your hair. Follow up with a good conditioner, and let your hair air dry. Using the mask once a month is usually enough to see results. Don’t use it more than once a week.

TL;DR in English: Combine the water and gelatin in a pan. Heat the mixture until it is steaming. Remove the mixture from the heat and add the other ingredients. Apply the mask to wet hair and allow it to sit. Rinse the mask thoroughly with water.

Opt to climb the stairs whenever possible (e.g. in lieu of taking an elevator at work every morning) to add butt-toning exercise to your day. For added benefit, try taking two stairs at a time. Try using a stair climber machine at the gym, which is a good way to get a full stair-climbing workout. Aerobics classes are a great way to maintain a regular exercise schedule and stay motivated about your workout. While any exercise classes will work towards tightening your butt in the long run, some have more immediate benefits. Spin classes, for example, offer an intensive workout focused on the lower body. You can also look for classes specifically geared towards butt workouts (e.g. “Booty Kickin’ Step” at Crunch gym in New York City). Hiking is an excellent workout — just one hour of moderately strenuous to vigorous hiking burns over 400 calories, toning your legs and butt in the process. When weather permits, look online for hiking trails near you, preferably on hilly terrain for an added challenge to your workout; plot out your route carefully, and be sure to bring a friend with you for safety. Wear sturdy shoes with thick, rubber soles to prevent falls and protect your feet. Bring water, snacks, your cell phone, a first-aid kit, a map, and a light jacket or umbrella in case of rain.

TL;DR in English:


Choose where you plan to kayak according to the type of kayak you have, your risk/reward level, and your waterman abilities. Develop a float plan. Carry a life jacket, signaling device, and a battery-powered running light that can go on the sea kayak’s bow. Pack enough water for the trip, usually 1 gallon (3.8 L) per person, but it's better to pack more than you think you need in case the trip is delayed. Keep a bilge pump or large sponge within reach. Consider carrying an anchor. Follow the weather report before going kayaking and know the depth of the water you will be in.

For a seamless look, match the trim to the rest of your tiles. For example, if you used white porcelain tiles, get white porcelain bullnose tiles. If you want something bolder, try tiles in a contrasting color or a different material, such as metal or wood.  Caulking around the edges is another option. Learn more about it here. For more ideas on trims, click here. You almost always want the trim to be the same thickness as your tiles. The one exception to this are rail liners and moldings, which are supposed to be raised. Use a ruler to measure your tile's thickness in inches and/or millimeters. If you can't find trim tiles in the right thickness, try to special order them, or use an alternative, such as rail liners. Bring your tile to the store, and hold it up against the trim pieces that interest you. If you are ordering online, see if the shop offers free samples. If the trim does work out, place your order, and buy however many you need for the project. If the trim tiles are the same length as the edge tiles, count the number of tiles along the edge, then buy that many trim tiles. If your trim tiles are larger or smaller than the tiles along your edge, measure the edge of your tiled surface, then divide that number by the width of your desired trim tile. For example:  The edge you will be trimming is 96 inches long. Your desired trim tiles are 4 inches long. 96 divided by 4 = 24 tiles. If the number is not a whole number (i.e. 24.5), round up. Tiles may break during the installation process. Save yourself some trouble, and buy a few more tiles than you actually need for your project. If you end up with tiles left over at the end of your project, you can return them or save them for repairs. Most glass tiles will have a cut and an uncut edge. When you are installing glass tiles, position them so that the cut edges are touching each other or a cabinet. Leave the smooth, uncut edges on the outside for a natural trim. This is especially important if you are installing tiles that have something next to or...

TL;DR in English: Decide what sort of trim you want. Make sure that the thickness of your trim matches the tiles. Test how the trim looks before making any commitments. Figure out how much many trim tiles you need. Buy extra trim tiles when making your purchase. Skip the trim if you are using glass tiles to save time and money. Leave room for the trim when installing your tiles. Install the trim last, after you have finished grouting your tiles.

It can be daunting to pick out a crochet top simply because they can appear very exposing. Popping a nude camisole on underneath your crochet top is the perfect solution. By choosing a nude color, it will not blend in or distract from the crochet pattern, which is the star of your outfit. You're also fully covered, so there is no need to worry about exposing too much or looking inappropriate. If you're bold, you may not want to cover up completely under your crochet top. Instead, try layering it over a bralette or a bandeau. Bralettes are similar to bras, except they have no underwire and look less like an undergarment than a traditional bra. Bandeaus are a strip of cloth that cover your chest like a tube top. By wearing either of these under crochet tops, you can keep your stomach exposed in your crochet top, while still covering up your chest. You can find bralettes with all kinds of pretty detailing, and both bralettes and bandeaus come in a variety of colors. You can choose a beautiful piece that will add interest to your outfit from underneath your crochet top. You certainly don't have to stick to neutral tanks and undergarments. In fact, adding a pink bra, a royal blue tank top, or a bright red bandeau under a crochet top can add a pop of color to your outfit. Keep the rest of your outfit neutral and let the colorful undergarment highlight the pattern of the top.  For example, try pairing simple black shorts with a black crochet top, but slip a red camisole underneath for a bright pop of color. Jeans and a white crochet top can become more interesting by adding a neon color bandeau underneath.

TL;DR in English: Wear a nude tank top underneath. Put on a bralette or bandeau underneath. Don something colorful underneath.

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

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

For example, a sleek kayak designed for speed has no flotation foam and will sink if punctured by rocks or by a shark. The hard plastic scupper type kayaks, on the other hand, are very durable and can survive such impacts with greater dependability. Although a float plan will not prevent an accident, it will allow a friend or relative to know your route, destination, and estimated time of return just in case. Not only can these devices save your life but they will also make it easier for search parties to spot you in case you get lost. Also, pack high-protein snacks, such as trail mix or protein bars to fuel the high caloric demand. If a wave pushes water into the sea kayak’s cockpit, it’s nice to have a quick way to dry the cockpit. A paddling skirt is recommended as well, especially on rougher seas or in colder weather, to close off the cockpit from the elements and to keep your legs and lower body dry. You can fashion one from a bucket and a cord made of fabric, plastic, or rope, or you can simply buy one. The current or wind could sweep you 50 yards (45.7 m) away if you stop paddling for more than 5 minutes. The surface area of a kayak is huge, similar to a small sail.

TL;DR in English:


Know the name of the organization you purchased your money order from.

Contact the issuer of the money order if you suspect that it was stolen or altered. Request a copy of the signed money order. Contact your local police department to look into the fraud.

Use a box grater to shred the mozzarella cheese into thick shreds. Place the shredded cheese in a bowl and set aside.  For an even cheesier experience, double the amount of cheese and slice it into 1/4-inch (6-mm) thick pieces. You can save time by using pre-shredded cheese or change the flavor by mixing different types of cheese. Use a sharp knife to cut the pepperoni into slices. The slices should be between 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch (3-mm and 6-mm) thick.  If desired, you could dice the pepperoni into small cubes instead of slicing it. You may omit the pepperoni if you do not wish to include it. Place the bulk sausage in a skillet set over medium heat. Break it apart into crumbles with a spatula and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes or until the sausage is fully browned. The sausage is only optional. You can skip it or add other meats to the pizza, as well. Some meats, like bacon, will need to be cooked and crumbled ahead of time. Others, like ham, only need to be sliced. Fill a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan with 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 cm) of olive oil. Heat the oil and poach the onions and peppers for 5 minutes, or until soft.  While this recipe only lists onions and peppers, you can use other vegetables, as well. Poaching the vegetables in oil will make them taste richer.  Allow the oil to heat slowly to 190 degrees Fahrenheit (90 degrees Celsius) before adding the vegetables. If the oil sizzles or steams, it is too hot. Poach the vegetables in this hot oil until they soften, then fish them out with a slotted spoon and drain on clean paper towels. Tear the basil into small strips using your hands.  Do not use a knife. Chopping fresh basil could cause it to bruise. You can also experiment with other fresh herbs, like oregano and parsley.

TL;DR in English: Shred the cheese. Slice the pepperoni. Cook and crumble the sausage. Poach the vegetables in oil. Tear the basil.

You can use your own recipe, or you can use a boxed mix instead. Most cake recipes should work for this technique.

TL;DR in English: Choose and prepare your desired cake batter.

The Bloods were originally a Los Angeles gang that rose in prominence as a counter to the infamous Crips. The Bloods have since spread across the United States, often with the profits from the illegal sale of crack cocaine.  Often violent and constantly at war with other gangs, the Bloods symbol is a way for gang members to identify themselves to other Bloods. This symbol is not a joke, and can lead to serious trouble if used in the wrong circumstances. If you are in public, especially an unfamiliar area, refrain from using the symbol completely. Gang feuds with the Bloods have spread from Los Angeles into many major urban areas, and you should always choose not to flash the Blood symbol if you have any doubts about local gang politics. When you look down you will be reading the word in reverse. The sign is meant to be read by other people as the word "Blood." Because you will not be able to read the word by looking down, try practicing in front of a mirror to see if you can actually write the word "Blood." It will take some time to be able to form the word quickly.

TL;DR in English: Understand the history and power of the Blood symbol. Never use the symbol in unknown public areas. Remember that the symbol will seem "backwards" to you. Practice in front of a mirror to get it right.

Get in touch with the institution you purchased your money order from as soon as possible to confirm whether or not it was cashed in. The issuer can provide details about when and where that happened. Note that once somebody cashes your money order, the odds of getting your money back from the issuer are slim to none. If your money order was altered and cashed by someone other than its intended payee, ask for a copy of the signed document. Any person who receives a money order must show identification and sign something (e.g. the back of the money order or a receipt for the transaction) in order to receive the payment. This evidence may prove useful in locating the person who intercepted your money order. Your best chance of getting your money back after theft and fraud is to work with law enforcement. Contact your local police department and provide all the information you have about how and where the money order was cashed. The police may be able to use their resources to isolate the perpetrator, especially if this theft fits into a larger string of crimes.

TL;DR in English:


Organize in fives. Prove your thesis. Provide context for the topic or theme. Use appropriate quotations and references. Ask yourself the open-ended questions your teacher might ask. Break the writing down into smaller tasks.

Cleaning an enameled dutch oven after using it is simple, and only involves soap and hot water. You might need an abrasive scrub pad to remove pesky food residue, but the most important rule to follow is to avoid steel wool and other metallic pads or brushes. Steel wool, wire brushes, and other metallic scrubbers can erode the enamel coating. Go for nonmetal options, like nylon. A Scotch-Brite Dobie Pad is a great non-scratch choice for cleaning enamel cookware. You’ll have an easier time cleaning your dutch oven when it’s still hot, so wash it as soon after cooking as possible. Run hot water, add a few drops of dish soap, and scrub off food residue with your non-scratch pad. Rinse away soap suds, then dry the pot thoroughly with a towel. Boiling water is a quick trick for stubborn bits of grime, but not so tough that they require breaking out the big guns. Fill the pot halfway with water, place it on a burner set to medium, and let the water boil briskly for a few minutes. Scrape away the residue with a wooden spatula, pour out the water, then wash the pot with soap and hot water. If stubborn stains didn’t flake away after the quick boiling water technique, you can try more intensive cleaning methods.

TL;DR in English: Stay away from steel wool. Wash the pot with dish soap, hot water, and a scrub pad. Boil water in the pot before washing if it’s a little grimy.

Look for the unsweetened kind in the grocery store aisle near the baking supplies. If you can't find shredded coconut, shaved coconut also works quite well. Every cup of coconut will end up translating into two cups of milk. Measure out the coconut into a blender or high-powered food processor. You'll need two cups of water for every cup of coconut you have. Measure out the correct number of cups into a pot. Place the pot on a burner and turn the heat to high. Let the water come to a full boil. Pour it directly into the blender. If your blender is small, you may need to do this in batches. Use a spoon to stir the mixture well. Place the lid on the blender and blend the coconut and water until the mixture is as smooth as possible.  Be sure to hold the lid of the blender tightly in place with one hand, since blending heated substances can cause the lid to fly off unexpectedly. Place a piece of cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl. Carefully pour the coconut mixture through the cloth, straining out the solid pieces. The liquid that is left in the bowl is fresh coconut milk. If you're using cheesecloth, pick it up and squeeze out the extra milk before discarding the solid coconut.

TL;DR in English: Buy a bag of shredded coconut. Measure out the shredded coconut. Boil water. Pour the water over the coconut. Blend the coconut with the water. Strain the coconut solids.

Harvest lavender just before the buds open. Cut at the base of the stems to preserve as much stem as possible. A cutting board or another large piece of wood is perfect for drying lavender in the sun. If you use a metal tray, the lavender will get too hot; if you use plastic, you might have a melted mess on your hands. Move the cutting board or wood block to a place that gets plenty of sun, either indoors or outdoors. Drying lavender this way is a much quicker process than drying it in the dark, but be prepared for the sun to fade the lavender to a very pale purple color.  If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain, either dry the lavender inside near a sunny window or be ready to move it inside when the clouds threaten to break. It should take under a week for the hot sun to dry the lavender. Check every few days to see whether the lavender is dry. When it's ready, the flowers should crumble easily from the stems.

TL;DR in English: Harvest the lavender. Lay the lavender on a block of wood. Place the lavender in a sunny spot. Allow the sun to completely dry the lavender.

Some teachers teach what's called the five-paragraph form in essays, though it should be taken with a grain of salt (there's no magic number). Still, it can be helpful in expanding your argument and giving you enough to write about, by aiming for at least three different supporting points to use to hold up your main argument. Each essay should have at least the following paragraphs:  Introduction, introducing your topic, summarizing your main ideas, ending with your thesis statement Main point paragraph 1, in which you make and support your first supporting argument Main point paragraph 2, in which you make and support your second supporting argument Main point paragraph 3, in which you make and support your final supporting argument A brief conclusion, summarizing the main point, showing us what you've proven If you've got a good thesis, one with enough complication and unique ideas, writing a lot shouldn't be a problem. If you're having trouble coming up with enough pages or words, look to revise your thesis and make it more complex. Think of your thesis like a table top: the point of your essay is to hold it up, or it's just a useless hunk of wood. Your main points, evidence, and references act as the table legs that hold up your thesis, making it a useful piece of writing. A helpful and informative way to expand an already-good draft of your essay and start beefing it up a bit is to provide more context for the topic and your perspective on it. If you're writing about Zelda, you could jump immediately into your thesis and your first points about the intricacies of the Ocarina of Time, or you could push the pause button for a minute and give us some context. What other games were out when Zelda was released? What other games from that time are still around? What do we need to know about the culture of gaming in general? Provide other voices in your paper, both to support your points, providing credible references and also to give you more to explore and argue with. Quote essential material and discuss the...
