Your martini will stay cold longer if the glass is chilled. Place a martini glass in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours or until frost develops on it. If you don’t have a few hours to chill the glass, throwing it in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes can still help. To make the martini, you’ll need a cocktail mixing glass. Add enough ice to fill it almost completely. If you prefer, you can shake the martini in a cocktail shaker or mason jar to mix the ingredients. Pour 1 part vodka, 1 part white creme de menthe, ¼ part dry vermouth, and ½ part white chocolate liqueur to the mixing glass. Use a long cocktail spoon to mix ingredients until they’re fully combined. Place a cocktail strainer over the chilled martini glass. Pour the martini through it to remove the ice, and enjoy it while it’s still cold.

TL;DR in English: Chill a martini glass. Fill a mixing glass with ice. Add all of the ingredients and stir well. Strain the martini into the glass and serve.

False lashes don’t have to be tossed after a single use; if you clean and store them safely, they can be reworn a few more times depending on their condition. If your lashes aren’t missing any sections, are not bent along the lash line, and are generally clean and well-kept, you can clean them and save them for a future date. Get out a small bowl or cup, and fill it with ½ inch to 1-inch of oil-free liquid makeup remover. The makeup remover will dissolve any mascara or eye product on your false lashes, preparing them for the next use. Place the now-clean lashes on a dry tissue or towel, and leave them there to air-dry for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are dry. You may pat them gently with a tissue to absorb some of the excess water, if they are drying too slowly. Never put your lashes away wet, as they can mold. Keep your lashes out of your regular makeup bag where they might get bumped around, and put them in a place where they won’t become damaged. If you have the original case the lashes came in, put them back in that for storage. Otherwise, place the lashes in a small bag or small container, and store them in a dry area until their next use.

TL;DR in English: Determine if you can reuse your lashes. Fill a dish with makeup remover. Lay the lashes out to dry. Store the lashes properly.

WMA files are Windows music/audio files, and music in this format that's been purchased from online stores will be protected with Digital Rights Management (DRM). This will prevent you from converting the files until you have stripped the DRM from the file.  This method will need to be performed in Windows, even if you are trying to convert on a Mac. Once the files have been stripped of DRM, you can convert them on any system. You'll be burning the protected files to audio CDs and then ripping them back to the computer to strip them of DRM. This will result in a slight loss of audio quality. You'll need a drive capable of burning CDs (most modern computers have one). Not all WMA files have DRM. You can quickly check files to see if they are protected. If none of the files you want to convert are protected, you can skip down to the next section.  Open the folder containing the files you want to check. Right-click on a WMA file and select "Properties". Click the Details tab and scroll to the bottom. Look for the "Protected" entry. If it says "Yes", the file is protected with DRM. Windows Media Player comes installed with Windows, and includes all fo the tools you'll need to strip the DRM from WMA files. You can click and drag a selection of files directly into the Windows Media Player window to quickly add them to the library. This can be found on the far right side of the screen. If you don't see the Burn tab, press Ctrl+1 to open the Library view. If add more music than will fit on a single CD, you can scroll through the list to see how many CDs will be required. Close the Autoplay window if it opens. Depending on your burner, this may take several minutes to complete. The finished CD will eject automatically. Once the CD ejects, you can insert a new blank CD and Windows Media Player will automatically continue burning the list. Before you rip the songs back to your computer, you'll want to adjust your settings so that you get the best quality.  Click the Tools menu and select "Options". If you don't see the...

TL;DR in English: Understand why you may need to do this. Check if the files are protected. Open Windows Media Player. Add the files to the Windows Media Player library if they aren't already. Click the "Burn" tab in Windows Media Player. Drag the songs you want to strip into the Burn list. Insert a blank CD-R. Start the burn process. Repeat for the rest of your music. Set your CD ripping options. Insert the first burned CD back into your computer. Click the "Rip CD" button.

The acid in lemon juice can be very helpful with softening and removing calluses.  Soak your feet in lemon juice for about 10 minutes before scrubbing your feet with a pumice stone or foot file. While foot razors or shavers can be purchased at drug stores and pharmacies, they are not a good idea to use.  They can easily cut your feet, and these cuts can easily become infected. Your heels tend to be one of the places that build up a lot of calluses.  You can help keep your heels, and the rest of your feet, soft and moisturized by making your own cracked-heel cream at home.  All you need to do is put a spoonful of olive oil in a small bottle and add a few drops of lemon or lavender essential oil.  Shake the bottle until the liquid turns thick and milky and then apply it to your feet, specifically your heels. You can make this cream and store it for future use as long as you remember to shake the bottle before you use it. The best time to moisturizer your feet is right before bed.  And you can moisturize your feet with more than just store-bought moisturizer — you can also use vegetable oil.  Simply apply a layer of vegetable oil to your feet before bed and then put on a pair of thick socks.  Leave the socks on all night while you sleep and then wipe off any excess oil in the morning. Vegetable oil (and other oils) can stain fabrics, including your socks and sheets.  The best socks to use in this situation are wool socks, as the wool absorbs the oil and doesn’t stain.  If you can’t use wool socks (or if they’re too hot) use a pair of old socks instead. Your face, hands and hair can benefit from masks — so can your feet!  It’s easy to make your own at home using 1 tablespoon of Vaseline (or another similar product) and the juice from 1 lemon.  Mix the Vaseline and lemon juice together in a bowl and apply the mixture to your clean feet before bed.  Wear a pair of socks on your feet all night and wipe off the excess Vaseline with a towel in the morning. Dedicate a pair of old socks to this process so you don’t have...

Pour your desired amount of milk into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Keep the milk boiling for 6 minutes over medium heat. Stir it slightly so that the bottom of the milk does not burn. This method works best for raw milk that is warm and straight from the cow. You will see the cream, or the fat, start rising to the top as the milk cools down. Don’t stir or mix the milk once it is off the heat, or you will mix the fat back into the milk. Gently scrape the milk off the top with a large spoon. You can use the cream for a recipe or wash it down your drain. Be sure not to mix or stir the cream back into the milk. If you want to save your cream for a recipe, put it in an airtight container and save it in the fridge for up to 5 days. As it cools, the milk will separate even further and the fat will rise to the top. Make sure the lid of your saucepan is as close to airtight as it can be. Set your saucepan somewhere where it will not be jostled or disturbed. There will be a thick layer of cream floating on the top of your milk. Use a spoon to gently skim the rest of the cream off of the milk, making sure you don’t mix it back into the saucepan. This cream will be thicker than the cream you scooped off before you chilled your milk. Transfer your skim milk from a saucepan into another container, like a jar with a lid. Use your skim milk in recipes or drink it straight within 1 week of skimming it.

TL;DR in English: Boil your raw, non-homogenized whole milk in a saucepan for 6 minutes. Take the saucepan off the heat and let the milk cool for 2 minutes. Scoop the cream off the top of the milk with a spoon. Cover your saucepan with a lid and refrigerate the milk for 8 hours. Skim the cream from the saucepan with a spoon. Store your skim milk in the fridge and use it within 7 days.

To avoid accidentally setting off the airbag, you’ll need to disable it before starting the front bumper removal process. To do so, open the hood of your car and disconnect the battery, negative side first. Then, pop off the steering wheel cover by pressing the wheel’s eject button with a specialty removal tool. Inside, look for a small power box, take out the screws or bolts holding it in place, and remove the connected wires, thus disabling the airbag. If you cannot locate an eject button or power box, check your vehicle’s driver manual for model-specific instructions. For front bumpers, these are typically located directly above the bumper (under the hood), below it, and at the driver and passenger-side ends. For rear bumpers, look below the bumper, on the outer surface, and inside the trunk. To avoid problems when reattaching the bumper, take pictures showing where all the fasteners go. Once you’ve removed all the outside fasteners, gently pull on the left or right side of your bumper until it pops out. Using a screwdriver or other flat object, go along the inside of the bumper any remove any additional clips holding it in place. Then, simply slide off the bumper. Depending on the model of car, you may need to take off other elements, such as fog lights, to fully remove the bumper.

TL;DR in English: Disable the airbag if you’re removing the front bumper. Take off any screws, nuts, or clips holding the bumper in place. Slide the bumper off your car.

HIIT workouts involve short boosts of cardio activity followed by short rest periods. Warm-up for about 5 minutes by giving your workout about 20 to 30% of your effort. Increase the intensity of your activity so you’re giving about 80 to 90% of your effort for a full minute. Then, drop down to about 50% of your effort for 2 minutes. Alternate between doing 1 minute of high intensity and 2 minutes of moderate-intensity for about 30 minutes before cooling down.  You can easily do a HIIT workout on the treadmill or using just your body weight. Look online or speak with a fitness coach to find some HIIT ideas that you could try. While you don’t need 6-pack abs to have a great beach body, you can work on toning your core with some simple exercises. Do a few minutes of crunches, bicycles, and planks every day and you’ll start to notice the results. Mix things up with leg lifts and flutter kicks while you lay on the ground.  While these are easy to do at home, you can also sign up for a fitness class focused on core strengthening if you prefer a group fitness environment.  Modify some of these exercises to tone your obliques as well. by lifting weights and doing resistance exercises. Pick 3 or 4 exercises that target the muscle groups in your arms that you want to tone, and practice them every day. Try push-ups, pull-ups, or bench dips, which involve positioning your arms behind you on a bench. With your body in a floating seated position, you’ll raise and lower your body up and down to work your triceps. Alternatively, use hand weights to do bicep curls or arm circles. For guys, consider working out your pectorals as well as your arms by doing bench presses. by running or doing with squats and lunges. Every day, do repetitions of regular squats, jump squats, lunges, leg raises, bridges, and other glute-busting exercises to tighten your muscles. If you prefer, use a treadmill or go for a run on an incline to work out that area. Go for a bike ride or take yoga classes to work out your glutes and other leg muscles....

Thicker shoulder straps provide better support, which is essential for women with especially large busts. If you have a smaller bust size, however, thinner straps may provide enough support. The right push-up bra can work beneath a wide variety of tops, ranging from ordinary t-shirts to fancier blouses. Look for one that creates a smooth, natural silhouette, though, or else you may end up looking disproportionate or obviously fake. A bra with light padding can look natural and give your bust a few added inches. Too much padding can look obvious, however and will not flatter your figure well.

TL;DR in English: Stick with thicker straps if you are well-endowed. Give yourself added lift with a push-up bra. Wear padding sparingly.

Sugar-free gum helps to stimulate saliva production. This will help stop your mouth from drying out. A dry mouth often leads to bad breath because bacteria responsible for the foul odor aren’t washed away. Gum can also help remove food particles from the crevasses of your teeth. Sugar-free gum isn’t a substitute for proper oral hygiene. Don’t stop brushing your teeth and flossing. It is possible to get natural gums made from peppermint and other herbs, which will help mask the smell of bad breath in addition to removing matter from your teeth. These herbs won’t clean your teeth, but they will counter your bad breath with a strong scent. This works in the short term, but shouldn’t be viewed as a long-term solution. You’ll also want to beware of debris from these herbs in your teeth. You don’t want to trade bad breath for large chunks of parsley in your teeth. Nuts have a powerful aroma and the abrasive texture of them will help remove any residual food particles left on your teeth, tongue or gums. Dill and fennel seeds mask odors magnificently. Anise is a licorice-flavored seed that actually has antiseptic properties.

TL;DR in English: Chew some sugar-free gum. Chew herbs like mint, parsley, basil, or wintergreen. Chew nuts and seeds.

Once you sign an autograph, you have no idea where it might end up! It might be sold at an auction or on an auction site, like eBay, it might be awarded as a prize or reward to someone in your fan club -- in the worst case scenario, it might even fall into the hands of someone disreputable.   You should have two separate signatures, one for autograph signing and one for signing official documents. This will cut down the chances on your signature being forged. Now that you're famous, your name, signature, and reputation are in the spotlight. This means you'll have to be even more careful protecting yourself from identity theft and fraud. There are many different kinds of signature you might use, and each of these will signify something different to your fans. An elegant signature penned in flowing cursive may give your fans the impression of breeding, culture, and manners. A quick scrawl might make it appear as though you're hurried, driven, and certain of yourself.  You may have to experiment with various kinds of signatures before you find one that best suits you. See how loops, flourishes, tall letters, short letters, narrow and wide scripts look with your signature. You may want to include a symbol that is significant to you in your signature. For example, if you associate yourself with an eagle or lion, or if you have a family crest that uses these symbols, you might weave a simplified version of this image into your signature. You may find that other famous people in your industry use similar signatures. You may want to imitate this style and add your own flourish, or you might want to ignore the conventions of your peers completely and make something uniquely your own! When viewing the signatures of others in your profession, you might want to ask yourself why a certain style is being used. A basketball player, for example, may have a very simplified style to make it easier when signing basketballs. To further differentiate your official signature with your autograph, you may want to abbreviate your...

TL;DR in English: Use a separate signature from your official one. Determine what you want your signature to communicate to fans. Look to others in your industry for inspiration. Select the parts of your name you'll use when signing. Add a paragraph to your signature.

If you have special plans, think them over ahead of time. For example, are you planning a beach day? If so, don't forget your swimsuit and towel. Are you going out hiking during the fall months? Make sure to bring hiking shoes and a light jacket. If you're going to be consuming alcohol over the weekend, plan ahead. Bring something like ibuprofen in case you end up with a hangover. Also, if your boyfriend's throwing a party or get together, chip in for alcohol. Pack a bottle of wine. You never know when you might need cash. If the two of you want to order a pizza, for example, it's easier to have cash on hand to pay your share. Try breaking down larger bills like twenties into tens, singles, and fives. This can make things easier when splitting up payments.

You may get evicted if you get caught with a dog. If dogs are clearly against the rules in the lease, you have broken the lease by hiding your dog. Your landlord may require you to move fast.  Moving is expensive. In addition to paying for things like moving trucks and gas, you will have to pay to transfer your utilities. You will also have to put down a deposit on a new apartment, and may have to pay first month's rent upfront. Make sure you have a nest egg to front these expenses in the event you have to move fast. The potential financial fallout is one of the reasons it's risky to sneak a dog in an apartment. It's hard to judge your neighbors' attitude. Some of them may not mind you bending the rules, while others may be irritated. Some people may have specifically chosen that apartment complex because they dislike dogs.  Be polite to your neighbors at all times. Keep your dog from jumping on them, barking, or generally disturbing anyone. If you're respectful of your neighbors, they're more likely to like you. This will decrease the likelihood they'll report you to the landlord if they catch you with a dog. A pet deposit usually covers any damage caused by a pet. If your dog, say, chews up the carpet, the $300 you put down for the pet deposit will cover this. However, if you're sneaking your dog in, you won't have a pet despot as a buffer. In the event your dog damages the unit, you will have to pay any damages upfront. It's always best not to break the rules. You could get in a lot of trouble and end up spending a lot of money sneaking in a dog. You may be able to convince a landlord to make an exception to the no pets rule.  You can explain to a potential landlord that you have a dog. If there are any reasons you cannot give the dog up, let him or her know. For example, maybe your dog has special needs and would not do well with another owner. Offer to write up a contract. You could provide a legal document promising to take care of any damages done by your dog. You and your landlord could both agree on...

TL;DR in English: Make sure you have the money to move fast. Watch out for your neighbors. Prepare to pay for damages upfront. Try to negotiate with your landlord instead.

Health care providers rely on behavioral symptoms and/or written questionnaires during routine checkups. There are screening tests that can also be done during these visits. If your doctor does not regularly screen for autism, ask for her to do so. There is no one-size-fits-all approach for autism. Tailor treatment to the individual's needs. Stop asking "What do autistic people need?” and instead ask “What does this specific person need?”  For example, one autistic person may have excellent self-care skills and above-average school performance, but need sensory integration therapy and social skills training. Another might be highly social but unable to care for herself and in need of counseling for depression. While there is no cure for autism, some of its challenging aspects and comorbid conditions can be helped through medication.   Anxiety Elevated energy level Self-injurious behavior Inability to concentrate Depression Seizures Severe outburst of anger or aggression  Many autistic people also experience comorbid disabilities/health conditions, such as anxiety disorders, epilepsy, digestive issues, depression, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, and more. These are all treatable.

TL;DR in English: Seek professional help. Understand that every autistic person is different. Consider medications. Consult with your health care provider to ensure your loved one is receiving the proper treatments for their individual needs. Consider comorbid conditions.

Heat a pot of water over high heat until bubbles are rippling across the surface. Then, remove the water from the heat and pour it into a heatproof bowl. Use a towel or pot holders to place the bowl on a table in front of a chair. Be careful with the hot water because you can burn yourself. Use a pair of scissors to open the tea bag or rip it with your fingers. Then, sprinkle the tea leaves over the water. They will begin to steep immediately. Use all of the tea leaves for best results. The green tea will continue to steep as you do the steam. However, it’s best to give it about 1-2 minutes so that you can get the benefits of the green tea at the beginning of your steam. Plus, this gives your water time to cool a bit so you won’t scald your skin. Watch a clock or use a timer as you wait. You should see the water changing colors as the tea releases its properties into it. Place a large bath towel over the back of your head and your shoulders. Then, lean over the bowl so that your face is directly over the steam. The towel will trap the steam around your face so that it can treat your skin.  Make sure the towel is surrounding the bowl on all sides to fully trap the steam. If you get too hot, lift the towel to release some of the steam. Hold your face over the bowl for up to 10 minutes. Breathe in deeply and try to relax to create a spa experience. This gives the steam time to penetrate your skin and remove impurities.  If you start feeling hot, it’s okay to stop the treatment early. It’s best to set a time for 5-10 minutes so that you know exactly how long you’ve been steaming your face. After your steam, go to the sink and turn on the cold water. Then, splash the cool water over your face to remove any sweat and impurities that the steam treatment drew out. If you like, you can wash your face with a creamy cleanser, as well. However, this isn’t necessary. Use the bath towel or a hand towel to lightly blot your face dry. Then, you can continue with your normal facial care routine. Repeat this treatment as often...

TL;DR in English: Pour boiling water into a heatproof bowl at your table. Cut open a green tea bag and pour the leaves into the boiling water. Let the green tea steep for 1-2 minutes before you steam your face. Drape a towel over your head and lean over the bowl. Steam your face for 5-10 minutes. Rinse your face with cool water to remove impurities. Pat your face dry with a soft, clean towel.

To wear and fasten a French cuff shirt, start by pulling on the shirt and allowing the cuff flaps on each arm to spread over your hands. Don’t try to fasten the cuffs before you put the shirt on. If you do this, you will struggle to get your hands through the cuffs. Now fold back the cuffs on each side, making sure each cuff's buttonholes align. You should be able to do this easily by using the crease in the cuff. Use a pair of cufflinks or knot closures (knotted bundles of silk or rayon cording) to close the cuffs and keep them in place. Pass the cuff links through the holes on each side of the cuff and twist them so they cannot pass back through the buttonholes. Knot closures and cufflinks come in a variety of colours and styles, allowing you to coordinate colours with your tie and shirt or display a special but understated accessory.

Without these, the web and other programs wouldn't function properly.   Programming languages and platforms are what developers use to create applications, scripts, or other sets of instructions for computers to follow. There are dozens of different programming languages. Each language uses a different platform or program to write scripts, programs, and instructions. This is one of the simplest and most commonly used programming languages for websites.   Most people can learn the basics of HTML in an afternoon using one of the many online tutorials available. HTML is a language that consists of multiple short codes are typed into a text document. It has its own grammar and syntax just like any language. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. Hypertext is the method by which you move around the internet. You click on a link, which is hypertext that directs you from one page to another. When you write in HTML, you will use a series of tags. These tags tell the text what to do: be italicized, link to another page, be a bulleted point etc. When you write HTML in a text file, it is then saved as an html file. This file is then opened by a browser, like Google Chrome or Firefox. Your browser reads the file and translates your code into visual form. That's the website you see. To utilize HTML, you can use a simple text editor or a powerful HTML editing tool like HTML Kit. Other programming languages work similarly, but use different syntax and tags. Other languages are available for more complicated types of webpages. This is a very commonly used programming language for web developers.   The main goal of Java is to allow web developers to write a script or set of instructions for an application. This language allows application writers to "write once, run anywhere".

One of the easiest ways to increase your productivity is by changing the way you work. By streamlining your workload and focusing on one task at a time, you'll increase your efficiency and, as a result, your productivity at work.  Make short and long-term to-do lists. It will help you stay focused and keep on top of the projects you need to complete for that day, week, and month.  Avoid multitasking. Instead, focus on one task at a time and avoid jumping from one project to another. Multitasking has in fact been proven to reduce, not improve, productivity. Devote your attention to the tasks that need to be completed first. Keep projects with later dates on the back burner, but make incremental progress on tasks that have approaching deadlines. There are many things that can get in the way of a productive workday. Chatty coworkers, distracting activities, and looming concerns about things you need to do after work can all affect your ability to concentrate. By making small changes in how you work, you can block out these distractions and get down to business every day.  Many employees find that it's easier to get work done if you get to work early. Fewer coworkers often means fewer distractions at work.  Try turning off the sound on your computer and phone so you don't get alerts. You should also turn your cellphone off while you're working so you're not tempted to check for texts, missed calls, or social media notifications. Give yourself a 5 to 10 minute break every hour or so to check your email and indulge in the distractions you've been otherwise putting off.  Try stretching and walking around to reduce physical stress from sitting. You may have a hard time focusing on your work if you're feeling hungry or suffering from low blood-sugar levels.

The type of skiing you plan to do will determine how you need to size yourself, as each has slightly different uses and designs.   Traditional or Classic skis are for groomed trails and all skill levels. They come in either normal or compact.   Skate Skis are used for racing/speed skiing, and are usually preferred by intermediate or advanced skiers. They are shorter and thinner than traditional skis.  Off-Track Skis are a hybrid between traditional and skate. They are wider than traditional skis and are used for open, ungroomed territory.  Backcountry skis are shorter and used for longer off-trail explorations. They can be used in many terrains, and are light-weight as possible. Before you get to size and length, make sure you're in the weight range for each set of skis before buying them. In many ways, weight is more important than height for determining the right size skis, as bigger skis distribute more weight than smaller ones.  Some ski companies have even stopped using height to determine ski size, instead using unique weight ranges for each set of skis they produce.  Most skis will have a "recommended weight range" in their specification section. Note, however that this because most skis are sold in centimeters, not inches. If you're 6", you are 72 inches tall, meaning you'd aim for a 210cm set of skis.  Note that this is an approximation -- you should try out a few pairs to see what you prefer whenever possible. The skis should always be 10-15 cm taller than you, never shorter. Compact skis are less varied, and usually come in four sizes, small through extra-large. These sizes change based on the company making them but are usually recommended based on weight ranges. Note, however, that there is some overlap. If you have shorter legs and fall between two ranges, take the smaller skis. If you have long legs, grab the bigger size, but know that this is mostly up to preference:   Under 140 lbs --  Small  135-190lbs --  Medium  175-210lbs --  Large  Over 210 lbs --  Extra Large For racing skis in...

TL;DR in English: Decide what type of cross country skiing you'd like to do, as they are all sized differently. Check the weight specifications of any set of skis before purchasing. Multiply your height in inches by 2.7, then add 15" to get a good approximation of Classic Touring skis. Know that Compact Skis usually come in several pre-made sizes based on weight. Determine your skating ski size by experience level. Aim for back-country skis to be roughly 10cm taller than you when stood up end to end.

Start by cutting the potatoes in half lengthwise. Then, slice them into sections that are between 1/8th and 1/16th thick using a sharp kitchen knife, hand slicer or mandoline. Place the potato slices into a colander or strainer as you go.  A single potato will be enough for a snack-sized portion. To have enough to share with others, use at least two large potatoes. You can peel the potatoes before slicing them, if you prefer. Peeling is recommended if you’re using potatoes that aren’t as fresh, as you can remove eyes, discoloration and spoiled spots this way. Turn on the tap and run a stream of cool water over the freshly-cut slices. The water may appear cloudy or dirty for the first few moments as dirt, starch and natural juices wash out of the potatoes. Continue rinsing until the water runs clear. Toss the potatoes in the colander to keep dirty water and sediment from becoming trapped at the bottom. Fill a large bowl with lukewarm water and drop in the rinsed potato slices. Give them 8-10 minutes to soak. This will help clean them more thoroughly while softening them up in preparation for cooking.  Soaking the potato slices leeches out starch, which will make them cook up extra light and crispy.  Having a higher water content will also make the potatoes less likely to scorch as they cook. Press the slices firmly between the layers to squeeze out excess moisture. There should be no visible water remaining on the outer surface of the slices. After drying the slices, lay them out side-by-side in even rows on the paper towels.  Take care not to break the slices while you’re drying them manually. Don’t let the potatoes get too dry. This may make them unpredictable while cooking. A simple pat-and-press will do.

TL;DR in English: Cut the potatoes into thin slices. Rinse the potato slices with cold water. Soak the slices for 10 minutes. Dry the slices between layers of paper towels.

Place 1 lb. of green lentils, 1 US-quart (950 ml) of vegetable broth, 4 cups of water, 4 diced celery ribs, 4 diced carrots, 1 diced onion, 3-4 minced garlic cloves, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 tsp. of dried oregano, 3 sprigs of fresh thyme, 2 bay leaves, 1 pinch of cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste in a large crock pot. Stir the ingredients well to combine them. Cooking times vary slightly depending on how long it takes the lentils to soften without becoming too soft, and how long it takes for the soup to thicken. When it's ready, turn off the heat. Stir in 1/2 lb. of spinach and let it sit in the pot for a few minutes until it's completely wilted. You may think that you're putting in way too much spinach, but as the spinach wilts, it will get much smaller. Give this soup just a few minutes to cool down and then enjoy it on its own or with a slice of French bread. If you want it to be really creamy, you can even add a teaspoon of sour cream.

Familiarize yourself with the types of stress-related hair loss. See a doctor to confirm a diagnosis. Realize that hair will usually grow back on its own.

A nightly routine will help your baby adapt to going to sleep at the same time every evening, which should help to make it easier to get her to sleep. Create a routine that works for you. It can include things like bath time, comfortable bedtime clothes, a story, a final feeding, a massage, or anything else that helps your baby wind down before bed.  You don’t have to follow every aspect of your routine every single night (nor in the order listed), but make sure that you always do things in the same order according to your routine, so that your baby knows what to expect and recognizes relaxation cues.  Even if she’s too young to understand, tell your baby when it’s bedtime so that she will begin to understand the verbal cues. Don’t give her so much that she’s overly full and uncomfortable, but give her enough so that she’s satisfied and not hungry before bed. Before bed, try a short massage. For 10 to 15 minutes, use slow, long strokes and moderate pressure to massage her arms, legs, hands, feet, back, and tummy. Try a baby-friendly oil, such as sunflower or grapeseed. Gently rub her face, including her forehead, the bridge of her nose, and her head. A warm bath is relaxing for adults and babies, and it’s a nice addition to your nighttime routine. Consider skipping this step if your baby finds baths too exciting or dislikes being in the water. Avoid having toys or other stimulants in the nighttime bath, as the purpose of this bath is quiet, soothing time before sleep. Use a good, thick, nighttime diaper to prevent leaks and unnecessary mid-night changes. Choose soft pajamas made from a breathable fabric, because babies sleep better when they are cool versus warm. Use booties and sleeping sacks instead of blankets, as blankets pose a suffocation risk. Be sure to use a low, quiet, monotone voice that won’t startle or stimulate her. Every baby is different and responds to stimuli differently, and if your baby doesn’t relax during story time, try other soothing methods, such as:  Walking around with her in your...

TL;DR in English: Make a sleep schedule. Feed your baby. Give her a gentle massage. Have bath time. Put on a fresh diaper and pajamas. Read your baby a story.

Don’t eat raw vegetables or undercooked meat or seafood during your travels. Steer clear of shellfish, which can upset your stomach. Make sure that all meals you eat come to you piping hot so you can be sure they've been cooked well enough to kill any bacteria.  Be prepared to decline some of the local delicacies, especially if they involve raw fish or undercooked meat. Don’t eat leftovers or reheated foods, as these are more likely to be contaminated. Refrain from eating food that’s been sitting in a buffet, especially if it contains meat or fish, or if it’s been sitting in a sauce for a while. Similar to boiling water, pasteurization involves heating up a dairy product to kill off any harmful pathogens. Avoid drinking fresh or unpasteurized milk, or eating dairy products like cheese or ice cream that have been made using unpasteurized milk. If you can’t examine a dairy product’s packaging to confirm whether or not it’s been pasteurized, stay on the safe side and don’t consume it. Washing the fruit in local water will only introduce harmful bacteria. Peel the fruit carefully so the outside of the peel doesn't touch the fruit. Stick with easy-to-peel fruits like oranges and bananas, but avoid fruits like grapes and berries that can’t be peeled. Only eat the skin of a fruit if you’ve thoroughly washed it in treated drinking water.  Don’t eat pre-peeled or sliced fruits, as they might be contaminated. Avoid watermelon flesh which may have been pumped with extra water to increase its weight. If you’re concerned about the quality of the food – where it came from, how it’s been stored, or how it’s been prepared – rely on packaged foods instead. Find a local grocery store or market where you can pick up some packaged snacks and meal ingredients. Try simple or familiar foods first, like breakfast cereal, uncooked rice or pasta, dried fruits, and canned vegetables. If you have allergies, dietary restrictions, or sensitive taste buds, make sure you bring or buy enough packaged foods to get you through your trip. If...

TL;DR in English: Eat hot, thoroughly cooked meats, seafood, and vegetables. Refrain from consuming any unpasteurized dairy products. Peel all fresh fruit yourself before eating it. Stock up on packaged foods if you’re concerned about locally-prepared meals. Avoid eating food served at room-temperature or by a street vendor.

The first step towards improving your voice is to get a good sense of what your voice is like now. There are six main categories that make up someone's vocal profile:  Volume: How loud do you speak? Articulation: Do you slur your words or mumble? Voice quality: Is your voice nasally, breathy, or raspy? Overall pitch: Do you speak in a shrill, high tone or a deep, low pitch? Pitch variation: Do you speak in a monotone voice? Speed: Do you speak too quickly or slowly? To get a better sense of what your current voice is like, you need to record it and listen to it. This may not be fun, as a lot of people don't like the sound of their recorded voice, but this is much closer to what people actually hear when they listen to you. Record your voice using audio software like Garageband, and then play it back and listen for the details that make up your vocal profile, your volume, articulation, quality, pitch, variation, and speed. Recording and listening back to your voice will allow you to get an enlightening, objective look at what your really sound like to others. Take note of the flaws in your speaking voice, from mumbling, to filler words, to a nasally quality, and more. Write down everything you notice. Look at your notes about your voice and its weak spots. Then think about how you want your voice to be in comparison. Not everyone is going to have the same goal voice. For example, women with particularly low and raspy voices might want to raise their overall pitch and achieve a smoother vocal quality, while men with high, fast voices might want to slow down and deepen their speech.

TL;DR in English: Understand the different factors that make up a voice. Record your voice. Decide how you want your voice to be.

There are three main types of stress-related hair loss as follows:   Telogen effluvium: With telogen effluvium, stress may send a number of hair follicles into a resting phase, stopping the hair from growing. Several months later, the hair attached to the affected follicles may start to fall out suddenly, in greater volume than normal. This is possibly the most common type of stress-related hair loss.  Alopecia areata: With alopecia areata, the immune system turns on the hair follicles and causes hair to fall out, sometimes in large chunks. There may be several factors causing this type of hair loss, and stress is suspected to be one of them.  Trichotillomania: This condition is very different than the previous two, as it involves a person compulsively pulling out their own hair from their head, their eyebrows, or other areas of their body. A person usually develops this condition as a method of coping with stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or boredom. With each type of hair loss, the exact link between the hair loss and stress is somewhat unclear.  While stress will sometimes cause the hair loss directly, other times, the stress makes an existing condition worse. In some cases, the hair loss will cause the stress, rather than the other way around. Although most instances of hair loss will not require any significant medical attention, in some cases the hair loss is not the result of stress (as you might believe), but is in fact a symptom of a more serious underlying issue. Therefore, it important that you see your doctor rather than self-diagnosing. Some of the more serious conditions which can lead to hair loss include hypothyroidism, autoimmune diseases such as lupus and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). With hypothyroidism and PCOS there are treatment options available which can help hair to grow back. However, with autoimmune related hair loss, the loss is often permanent. If hair loss is indeed caused by stress, the major focus of treatment should be on minimizing or eliminating that stress. ...

Start with a square of origami paper (colored side up). Turn it so that it looks like a diamond. Fold the top of the diamond all the way down to the bottom and crease. Unfold, then make another fold, taking the left tip over to the right one, and crease. Unfold once again. Flip the paper over. Turn it so that it is oriented like a square again. Fold the top left and right corners down to the bottom ones and crease. Unfold, then take the top and bottom corners on the left and fold them over to the corresponding corners on the right. Crease at the fold, and unfold your paper again. Turn your paper so that it is diamond shaped again and fold the top to the bottom. It will look like a triangle. Push the left and right tips into the interior of the triangle until they reach the bottom tip, and crease. The paper should now look like a smaller square with upper and lower flaps. Turn it so that looks like a diamond. Take the tips of the upper flaps on the left and right and fold them to the center of the square. Make creases, then unfold. Take the top flap of the diamond and fold it downwards.  Crease it to make a line running between the folds made by the right and left flaps. The tip of the top should touch the center crease. Unfold the top flap. Lift the upper flap, starting from the bottom of the diamond. Keep lifting it upwards until it lies flat. The sides of the upper flap should fold inwards at the same time. Press the folds. Flip your paper over and work with the flap on the other side (originally the lower flap, now facing upwards) to make creases on its left, right, and top tips. The lift the flap from the bottom until it lies flat, as you did before. Press all of the folds. Your paper should now look like a narrow diamond shape. One of the points will be separated into two sections that you can move freely. Turn the paper so that these face downwards. Take the right section and fold it diagonally, just below the left point of the diamond, so that the tip points upward and slightly to the left. Do the...

Most engine cylinders fall in the middle of that range, usually around 125 PSI. However, the exact rating could vary due to a lot of factors, like the vehicle you have, the type of engine you’re testing, and its overall condition. If you see a result that looks out of the ordinary, figure out what engine cylinder it corresponds to.  For diesel engines, the optimal PSI is between 275 and 400. Low individual readings indicate cylinder-specific problems like worn-out piston rings. The difference between the highest and lowest cylinder rating should be no more than 15 to 20 PSI. Big pressure differences are a sure sign of engine problems. Note which cylinder has the low reading to uncover the source of the problem. You may also see multiple cylinders with low readings, which could alert you to more serious issues. For example, a series of low readings could indicate that the valves between cylinders have worn out. It could also be a sign of overall engine failure. Pour about 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of fresh engine oil directly into the open cylinder. Then, hook the pressure gauge and hose adapter to it again. Repeat the test by turning over the ignition a few times. When you’re done, check the readout again to see how it has changed. The PSI typically rises when you do a wet test instead of a dry one. The change can help you determine what is wrong with the cylinder. If the test worked, a large change could mean the piston rings have worn out. The engine is vital to your vehicle, so don’t ignore poor readouts from the compression test. Identifying and fixing engine problems can be very tough to do on your own. If you need help, get the car to a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.  If the low reading is from a single cylinder, check it for worn-out piston rings. If the test results were both the same, the cylinder could have a bad valve. If you notice 2 nearby pistons with low PSI readings, you most likely have a blown head gasket to replace. The gasket is between the 2 cylinders. Low compression in all cylinders...

Proofread your letter carefully. Print your letter. Sign your letter in front of a notary, if necessary. Send your letter to the recipient.

Tell your teacher you need to use the restroom so that you can leave class a few minutes before the bell rings. This will give you time to go to your hiding place or to leave the school grounds before everyone is in the halls between classes. That way, there will be fewer people to see you skipping and it is less likely that you will get caught. To excuse yourself from class a few minutes before the bell, tell the teacher that you have a music lesson/sports practice, that you need to go and take medication, or that you desperately need to use the bathroom. The best thing about saying that you need to go to the counselor is that nobody will ask you why because that is private information and they'll just let you go without interjection. Tell one of your closest friends that is in the class you're skipping that you're not going to be in class because of some believable reason. Then if the teacher asks, your friend can chime in and let the teacher know why you're absent and the teacher won't become suspicious or keep thinking about it. Have your friend say that you are home, sick or that you are at a doctor's appointment with your mom. Remember that you can get in big trouble if you get caught, so you need to have a plan. If you can't come up with a good plan, maybe reconsider skipping in the first place. If you drive to school, try to remember to park off campus on the day that you are planning to skip. Most schools have closed parking lots, meaning that you can't take your car out of the school parking lot without a note until school is over. If you think it's possible that your parents might drive by the school parking lot during the day to make sure your car is there, it might be a better idea to park at school and just walk somewhere when you skip class. That way, your car will still be at school when your parents check up on you.

TL;DR in English: Leave class a few minutes early. Say you have to go see the school guidance counselor. Have an alibi. Park your car off campus.

To give your lip scrub flavor, you can use any type and flavor of lip balm that you like. Twist the lip balm up in the tube, and use a butter knife to carefully shave off a piece of the balm that’s approximately 2- to 3-inches (20 to 30 mm) thick. Place it in a small bowl.  Lip balms are available in a wide range of flavors, including fruit, such as strawberry and cherry, and even candy, such as Skittles or Starburst. Choose your favorite for the lip scrub. While most lip balms are transparent when they go on the lips, they’re often colored in the tube. If you use a colored balm, you’ll wind up with a colored scrub. For example, strawberry lip balm is often pink so you’ll wind up a pink lip scrub. You may need to add more than one piece of lip balm to give the scrub a vibrant color, though. Using additional pieces of lip balm will also intensify the flavor of the lip scrub. With the lip balm in the bowl, mix in 1 part petroleum jelly and 2 parts sugar. Use a spoon to stir all of the ingredients together until you wind up with a thick, grainy paste.  You can make as large or as small a batch of lip scrub as you’d like. Adjust the amount of lip balm, petroleum jelly, and sugar accordingly. You don’t necessarily need to worry about exact measurements with the scrub recipe. If you prefer a grainy, textured scrub, add more sugar. If you prefer a smoother scrub, add more petroleum jelly. It’s a good idea to rub a little of the scrub on your lips after you’ve mixed it. If you want it to have more flavor, stir in more of the lip balm. Once you’re satisfied with the texture and flavor of the scrub, use a spoon to carefully transfer it to a small plastic jar or container that has a lid. To use the scrub, massage a small amount over your lips for 30 to 60 seconds, and wipe it off with a damp wash cloth. When you’re putting the scrub in the storage container, pack it down with your finger so you can easily close the lid.

TL;DR in English: Break off a piece of the lip balm. Add the petroleum jelly and sugar. Spoon the scrub into a container.

In order to connect to a monitor, your MacBook needs either an HDMI port or a MiniDisplay Port.  An HDMI cable is about 3/4 of an inch wide with the bottom slightly smaller than the top. A Mini Displayport is square shaped with the bottom corners cut. It's the exact same shape as a Thunderbolt port. A Thunderbolt port and Mini Displayport have the same shaped port, but they are not the same.  Check the labels on the port.  A Mini Displayport has an icon that resembles a screen.  A Thunderbolt port has an icon that resembles a lightning bolt. Once you have determined what type of video out your MacBook uses, you'll need to purchase either an HDMI cable or Mini Displayport cable, depending on the port on your MacBook.  Make sure you get a cable that is long enough to connect your MacBook and your monitor.  If need be, measure the distance between the devices. Mini Displayport cables have a Mini Displayport plug on one end, and an HDMI port on the other end of the cable.  You can also purchase a Mini Displayport adapter to connect an HDMI cable directly to a Mini Displayport. If your monitor you are using does not have an HDMI or Mini Displayport, you can purchase an adapter from Apple or another electronics retailer.  These include a MiniDisplay-to-DVI, and MiniDisplay-to-VGA adapters, as well as HDMI-to-DVI adapters. Match the shape on the end of your cable to the HDMI or Mini Displayport on your MacBook and connect it. Use the other end of the cable to connect to a free HDMI port on the monitor. If there is more than one HDMI port on your monitor, make a note of which port you are connecting to.  HDMI ports are usually numbered. Press the power button on both your MacBook and the monitor. If the video has more than one HDMI or video input port, press the button on the remote or monitor that says Source, Input, Video In or similar.  Select the number port you connected your MacBook too.  You may see your MacBook display on the monitor automatically. If it does not appear automatically, continue to the next...

The spelling and grammar in an attestation letter can effect how your letter is received. If it has numerous typos and errors, the recipient may not take it seriously. Check your facts as well. When you sign your letter, you'll be certifying that everything in it is true. Double check any numbers, dates, and other figures to make sure they're accurate. If you're mailing your letter, print it on official letterhead or high-quality paper. Avoid using regular copy paper, which can make it look less formal. If you don't have any high-quality paper, you can get a small box at your local office supplies store.  Make sure the letter printed cleanly, and the margins are adequate. There should be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) on all sides of the page. If your letter is more than one page, make sure the pages are numbered. Using "1 of 2" format will help the recipient confirm they have all of the pages. It isn't always necessary to have an attestation letter notarized. In many cases, just your signature will suffice. Contact the recipient to find out if notarization is necessary. Notarization typically is required if the attestation letter has legal significance. For example, if you are sending an attestation letter to certify that you've met the requirements for a professional license, notarization may be required. You may have to reach out to the recipient to find out their preferred method of receiving your attestation letter. For such a formal document, you want to mail it if at all possible. However, some recipients may prefer email or fax. If you're emailing your attestation letter, print it and sign it first. Then scan the original document so you can attach a PDF of the signed letter.

If you like giving your opinion, you might want to try doing online surveys from home to make a little extra cash while trying new products. There are hundreds of companies that enlist research panels of average consumers to complete surveys online. You can't expect to earn a full salary from taking online surveys, but it is possible to earn $50 to $100 a month in cash and free products if you take several short surveys, according to experienced online survey site members.  Try signing up with several survey sites (which are all free to join) to increase your chances of being selected for the surveys. Be aware that compensation varies by company and by survey. You may receive a few dollars, or be sent free products in exchange for trying them and providing feedback about them. Make sure the site is legitimate. Check to see if the website has a good rating and ensure that they have a privacy policy. If you have expert knowledge on a certain topic, then a quick way to make some cash is to answer questions about it online. Topics range from basic legal procedures, to psychological health to computer troubleshooting.  First you need to find reputable websites that will pay you for sharing your expertise. Try sites like JustAnswer, Keen and ChaCha. Be aware that most sites have a minimum pay-out rate, usually $20. It's easier than ever to sell stuff online these days.

A panel is just 1 single curtain. It's traditional to use 2 panels per window frame, but you can use 1 panel per frame if you prefer a simpler look. Separating the panels into pairs beforehand will make it easier to keep track of how many you're putting on the curtain rods. If you’re using straight curtain rods, put a pair of panels on each rod. If you’re using a bay window curtain rod, put 2 panels for each window frame on the rod and adjust the curtains so the bent corners of the rod are exposed. If you’re using double brackets, put curtains on a second set of straight curtain rods, or on a second bay window curtain rod. If you’re using straight curtain rods, hang 1 rod over each window frame, or 2 rods if you’re using double brackets. If you’re using a bay window curtain rod, line up the straight edges of the rod with the sections of your bay window. The bent corners of the rod should line up with the corners in your bay window.  Once the rods are in the brackets, adjust them as needed. To adjust the rods, pull the ends of the rods out to make them longer, or push them in to make them shorter. If you don't have brackets because you're using tension rods, just insert the rods into the tops of your window frames in your bay window.

Some stories might work best with simple dialogue descriptors like "said" or "answered." Others might sound great with more descriptive words, like "protested" or "exclaimed." Your story might even work with a mix of the two! Go with whatever sounds best to you in the context of your work. No matter what you choose, make sure you don't use the same descriptor over and over. This gets repetitive and boring for the reader. It should provide information to the reader about the story or the characters. Dialogue is a great way to prove character development or character information that your reader might not otherwise get.  Don't do small talk about the weather or how each character is doing, even if that's something that comes up a lot in real conversations. Now, a way in which small talk would be well used is to build up tension. For example, a character really needs certain information from another character, but the second character insists upon the ritual of small talk, your reader and your character will be biting their nails in waiting to get to the good stuff. All your dialogue should have a purpose. As you're writing dialogue, ask yourself, "what does this add to the story?" "What am I trying to tell the reader about the character or the story?" If you don't have an answer to those questions, scrap the dialogue. This is a big one that a lot of people have the tendency to do. You think, what better way to get information across to my reader than by having my characters discuss it at length? Hold it right there! Background information needs to be added sporadically throughout the story.  For example of what not to do: Jane turned to Charles and said, "Oh Charles, remember when my father died a mysterious death and my family was turned out of our home by my evil aunt Agatha?" "I do remember that, Jane. You were only 12-years-old and you had to drop out of school to help out your family." A better version of the above might go something like: Jane turned to Charles, her lips set in a grim line. "I heard from...

TL;DR in English: Match your dialogue verbs to the tone of your story. Move the story forward with your dialogue. Don't info dump in your dialogue. Add subtext. Mix it up.

This requires you to get closer to the wasps than the others, so it's recommended against if you're allergic to wasps. Rather than normal insecticides which are potentially dangerous for your family, this requires no harmful ingredients. For this method, you will only need an empty spray bottle, water, witch hazel, and peppermint essential oil. Fill it almost to the top with half distilled water and half witch hazel. Add 30-50 drops of peppermint essential oil. The peppermint oil will stick to the wasps, making it difficult for them to fly and will lead to their hasty demise.

TL;DR in English: Be careful. Find the things you need. Make your solution. Spray it on the wasps in your home as they come along.

Routinely washing your face prevents dirt and oil from building up on your face and clogging your pores. Dirty, clogged skin can get in the way of your beard hair growing properly, so it’s important you keep your skin clean. Get in the habit of washing your face in the shower every morning and right before you go to bed at night.  Use a cleanser designed specifically to be used on the face so you don’t irritate your skin. Look for a cleanser that's meant for your skin type, whether it's oily, dry, combination, or acne-prone. Exfoliation will get rid of the dead skin cells built up on your face that can prevent your beard hair from growing in. Use a gentle exfoliating face scrub after you wash your face at night. Don’t exfoliate more than twice a week or you could irritate your skin. Like moisturizer, beard oil will keep the skin under your beard moist and prevent your beard hairs from drying out. To apply beard oil, work a few drops into your beard hair after you wash your face. If you have a longer beard, use a comb to work the oil into your beard. Routine trims will keep your beard healthy so it doesn't get damaged to the point where you have to start all over. Wait until you have at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of hair before you start trimming it. Use scissors to trim your beard hairs so you can be more precise with how much you cut off.

TL;DR in English: Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser. Exfoliate your face twice a week. Apply a beard oil to your beard every day. Trim your beard every few weeks.

Foot fracture symptoms often start out as a slight discomfort towards the front of the foot, where most of the force and pressure is exerted. Many times, this pain is very slight and the onset is only during long periods of exercise, running or working out; this is called a "stress fracture" and is actually a tiny crack in the bone.  As soon as you stop your activity, the pain often vanishes. This leads many people to disregard and not even consider a fracture.  Other symptoms include swelling, throbbing pain, and discoloration or bruising. This is universal for any kind of bone fracture or stress fracture, and is the best way to treat a fracture at home for the first 72 hours after your injury or until you can seek medical care.  Rest. Immediately stop what you are doing and refrain from any activities that cause pain to your foot. No more exercising, running, or whatever it was you were doing when you felt the pain; stop and get off your feet. Ice. As soon as possible, put ice on the injured area. If your foot is fractured, it will soon start to swell, if it hasn't already. Do not apply heat, which would encourage more blood to rush to the area and make the swelling worse. Ice it down. Using crushed ice in a damp tea towel, ice the area for 20 minutes every two hours.  Compression. Wrap the injured area in a bandage fairly snugly to help reduce swelling. Be careful that it's not so tight that it cuts off the circulation; you'll know it's too tight if you experience numbness, tingling, or discoloration. Leave the toes unbandaged if possible to easily check the circulation. Elevation. Sit down or lie down, but keep the injured foot elevated. The idea is to keep the injured foot above the level of your heart in order to decrease swelling. Your fracture is likely to cause some considerable pain, so treat the pain safely while promoting healing in your bones. Avoid naproxen sodium and ibuprofen, which some doctors believe have the potential to delay the healing process with bone injuries. As soon as the pain and...

If you have a MTHFR mutation, talk to your doctor about testing for MTHFR genetic mutations.

Talk to your doctor about testing. Take a blood test. Consider a saliva test. Discuss the results with your doctor.

Your fish tank should hold about 1 gallon (4 L) of water for each shrimp. No matter how many you have, ghost shrimp will be most comfortable in at least 10 gallons (40 L) of water. If you have to keep your shrimp in a tank smaller than 10 gallons (40 L), allow 1.5 gallons (6 L) or more for each shrimp to make up for the small space. The hardest part of breeding ghost shrimp is keeping the young shrimp alive. If you let the eggs hatch in the same tank as the adult shrimp, the young could be eaten by the adults. This second tank doesn't need to be as large as the first, but a larger tank will give the young shrimp the best chance at survival. Filters are necessary to keep aquarium water clean. Most filters suck the water in to clean it, but these can kill the tiny ghost shrimp young. Use a sponge filter instead to avoid this possibility.  If your tank is larger than 10 gallons (37.9 L) and contains fish as well as shrimp, you should use a hang-on or canister filter to provide better cleaning. Never use anything besides a sponge filter for the breeding tank. If you don't want to buy a sponge filter, you can cover your filter's water intake with a sponge or a piece of nylon stocking. Alternatively, if your filter intake is too weak to suck in adult shrimp, you can disconnect the filter before the young hatch and replace 10% of the water volume in the tank every day until the young are fully grown and you can turn the filter on again. Like most aquarium pets, ghost shrimp need air pumped through the water in order to breathe. Without an air pump, the water will run out of oxygen and the shrimp will suffocate. Sand or light gravel will keep the shrimp transparent, while dark gravel will cause them to develop small specks and make them more visible. Pick any color and type you like. For additional detail in setting up a freshwater aquarium, see this article. Many places treat tap water with chlorine, so treat it with a dechlorinator or chloramine remover to make it safe for animals. At the very least, leave it out...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a large fish tank. Purchase a second tank for breeding. Use any filter for the main tank, and a sponge filter for the breeding tank. Install an air pump in each tank. Cover the bottom of each tank with sand or gravel. Fill the tanks with appropriate water. Keep the water at 65-82º F (18-28º C). Add live plants and hiding places.

When used properly, a menstrual cup may be the best option for exercising during your period. These cups are reusable, and they can stay in place for up to twelve hours.  Menstrual cups are ideal if you are doing endurance training, running a marathon, or hiking. Menstrual cups may move around during yoga, however. Once a menstrual cup is in, you should feel no discomfort, but some people may struggle with placing the cup. If you don’t have a menstrual cup, buy a box of tampons instead.  Tampons are not comfortable for everyone during exercise, however. If you find that you can’t exercise with a tampon in, try another method instead. "Sport" tampons are designed for workouts. You can try using these if normal tampons are uncomfortable while you exercise. If you have a heavy flow, you may need more protection. Use a pantyliner in addition to a menstrual cup or tampon. Put a new one in your undies just before exercising. Pads may cause uncomfortable chafing as you exercise. They can also scrunch up as you exercise, giving you less protection than you may need. If tampons and menstrual cups don't work for you, however, pads may be your only option. The underwear should be made out of a breathable fabric such as cotton. Underwear with more coverage will be more comfortable and prevent more leaks than a thinner type, such as a thong. You can even invest in a pair of period-proof underwear, such as Thinx. These can be worn in addition to or instead of a tampon or menstrual cup. Pants and shirts that are too tight might cause discomfort, especially if you’re experiencing cramps, constipation, or bloating. Instead, choose looser clothing. Make sure that your pants are dark, just in case there’s a leak!  For example, instead of tight leggings, wear loose sweatpants to the gym. A cotton t-shirt or tank top is perfect, especially if you don’t tolerate heat well on your period.

TL;DR in English: Try using a  menstrual cup. Insert a new tampon just before exercising. Apply a pantyliner if you’re prone to leaks. Use pads if you can't use tampons or menstrual cups. Choose boy shorts or hipster underwear. Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing.

If you have two more more related health conditions, talk to your general physician about testing for MTHFR genetic mutations.  Your doctor will be able to discuss and analyze the risk more thoroughly. If he or she agrees that testing might be wise, your doctor can take steps to order it. Depending on the circumstances, your doctor will either collect the necessary sample and send it to an analysis laboratory or refer you to a website where you can order a cheek swab home testing kit. A common way to test for MTHFR mutations will be a blood test. Your doctor will collect the necessary blood sample and send it for analysis at an appropriate laboratory. The lab technicians will study your blood sample at a genetic level and look for abnormalities in the MTHFR gene. During a saliva test, your doctor will collect a sample by swabbing the inside of your cheek. That sample will also be sent to a lab for genetic analysis.  Saliva tests are just as accurate as blood tests and are not invasive which makes it for a better choice for most patients, especially children and babies. There are currently no home-based genetic tests that are approved for MTHFR diagnostic purposes, but they are just as accurate and do not require a prescription. Cheek swab home test kits are direct-to-consumer tests and easily ordered online. When the results come back, they will show as either positive or negative.  Positive results will usually name the specific mutation, as well. A written interpretation of those results might be included, but if it isn't, you will need your doctor to explain the results to you. After you receive the results, you should also talk to your doctor about possible treatment plans.

When a friend is dealing with anxiety, they can't put off how they're feeling until you're available to help them deal with it. Show that you see them as a priority by pressing “pause” on other things to be there for them.  For instance, if a friend says, “I'm freaking out about my upcoming test,” it won't help reassure them if you say “Can we talk about this later?” Instead, make time for them right away—even if for only a few minutes. You might say, “Okay, can you tell me more about what's going on?” In some cases, you don't have to say anything at all. Just sit silently with your friend to help reassure them that they are safe and sound. Active listening is a great tool that helps strengthen relationships, but it can also help reassure someone who's feeling upset. Oftentimes, when people are troubled, others may only be interested in getting them to calm down. A better route is to hear your loved one out. Make eye contact, turn to face the person, and nod your head encouragingly. Once they've finished talking, restate what they said to be sure you got the right message. Restating might sound like, “If I'm hearing you right, you're saying…” It's helpful to show your friend that they're not abnormal for feeling how they feel. You can do this by  validating their emotions. Validation is a big part of helping them feel reassured. For instance, if your friend says they're afraid that they have a stalker, you might say, “Wow, I would be frightened if someone was following me, too.” Anxiety and fear can get a person hung up in the present moment, making them completely forget that these feelings are temporary. Reassure your friend by reminding them that the feeling will go away. You might even remind them of a time when they got through a similar circumstance.  Saying something like, “I know this is tough for you, but it will get better. Remember how tough it was when your dad died. You got through that and you will get through this.” When you do this, remind them that it's okay to not be okay sometimes. You...

TL;DR in English: Make yourself available to them. Be a good listener. Make them feel understood. Remind them that they won't always feel this way. Be patient.

Make sure it doesn’t touch any part of the canal. Hold the dog's ear flap open if you need to. This will help to keep the nozzle and medication from being contaminated before the next application. Deliver the proper amount of medication into the ear canal. If the medicine is liquid, this is usually specified in a number of drops from a squeeze bottle. If the medicine is an ointment, then the proper amount may be specified differently. Make certain to aim the nozzle tip towards the opening of the ear canal so the medication actually gets into this area. Once the medication is delivered gently massage the base of the ear to make sure the medication is evenly distributed. Use a piece of tissue or a paper towel to wipe any medication that has spilled down the ear onto the fur. A dog's first instinct when you put medicine in its ear is to shake its head. After that initial shake, try to keep the dog from excessively shaking his or her head for a few minutes in order to give the medication time to work. You can release the dog if you don't think it will go wild, but try distracting the dog with gentle play or a food treat or even a short, slow leash walk. Once again, wipe around the ear to remove any excess drops that have drained from the ear. Make sure to give the medication to the dog as long as the label directions instruct. Failure to do so may result in not fully eradicating the problem and may even make the infection stronger by building its resistance to the medication.

TL;DR in English: Carefully aim the nozzle’s opening toward the ear canal’s opening. Squeeze the tube or bottle gently. Massage the outside of the ear canal. Hold the dog steady for awhile. Apply medication for as long as prescribed.

Making things interesting and funny greatly increases the amount of vocabulary you retain. Get in the habit of coming up with memory aids, or mnemonic devices, for new vocabulary. Have fun--the sillier, the better! For instance:   You can develop some devices based on sound. If you're learning the word “mesa” (“table” in Spanish), say to yourself “Yolanda made a huge MESS all over the MESA.” You can create other devices based on meaning. For instance, if you're learning the word дом (dom or “home” in Russian), recognize that shares a root with the Latin word “domus” (“home”) and related English words. Think of a silly phrase like “Donald has a dozen DOMESTICATED dogs in his DOM.” Even if you can't get super creative with all of the words and phrases you learn, it still helps to simply create a visual picture of what you are learning. This can be as simple as imagining the thing you are studying. If you're learning “el pan” (“bread” in Spanish), picture a loaf sitting in a pan. If you're learning “ir” (“to go”), picture a fast car going down the street. While it sounds like a complicated term, diglot weaving is actually a simple and fun way to learn new words. Simply replace a word in a sentence in your native language with the corresponding word in the foreign language. Since you can lean on your native language while learning foreign words, it's great for beginners. Examples of diglot weaving include:  ”My friends and I split a pizza at the lunch Tisch” (when learning the German word “Tisch,” or “table”). ”Romeo told Juliet he'd lover her siempre” (when learning the Spanish word “siempre, or “always”).

TL;DR in English: Get creative with some mnemonic devices. Visualize the meaning of words. Try diglot weaving.

If necessary, purchase an E staff online or from a survey equipment shop. Then, have a friend or colleague hold the staff on top of your benchmark spot.  For the most accurate measurements, have your friend rock the staff forwards and backwards and record the lowest number you read. Most E staffs collapse to save space, so make sure you extend your staff before taking any measurements. Use a fiberglass staff instead of a metal version if you’re taking measurements in an area beneath power lines. Look through your dumpy level’s telescope and locate the E staff. Then, record the measurement indicated by your device’s center, horizontal crosshair.  This measurement is known as your backsight. Each numbered section of your staff represents 10 cm (3.9 in). Within these sections, every block indicates 1 cm (0.39 in) and every E indicates 5 cm (2.0 in). Once you have your backsight measurement, add it to your benchmark location's actual height. This will give you the current height of your dumpy level’s telescope. Record this measurement so you can use it to find the height of your next spot. Move your E staff so it sits directly on top of the spot you want to measure. Use your device’s telescope to find the staff, then record whatever number the device’s center, horizontal cross hair sits over.  This measurement is known as your foresight. If necessary, adjust your eyepiece’s focusing knob until you can see the staff. If the spot is too high or far away for you to measure, move your staff to a lower, closer spot first. Find the height of this new spot, then move your dumpy level to it and restart the measuring process. Unlike with your previous calculation, you’ll need to subtract your foresight measurement from your dumpy level’s actual height. This will give you the height of the spot you measured. When your record this height, make sure to include a thorough description or diagram of the spot you measured. That way, if you return to the area, you’ll be able to find the measured spot easily.
