A well-organized piece of writing should have a clearly-defined structure. While the nature of that structure will vary depending on the type of writing, most written works should have:  An introduction that briefly summarizes the topic or introduces the theme of the piece in some way. A body, in which the major points of the text are laid out. A conclusion, which wraps up the text and ties up any loose ends. Paragraphing refers to the arrangement of sentences into coherent groups. Each paragraph should focus on a single theme or idea, and should be visually separated from the previous paragraph with an indentation or an extra line space. A strong paragraph should include:  A topic sentence, clearly expressing the main idea of the paragraph. A few sentences supporting, explaining, or elaborating on the main theme. Some type of transition that links the current paragraph to the theme of the next paragraph. A good piece of writing should present its points in an order that makes sense. While there is no single right way to order a piece of writing, the writer should at least have some kind of clear organizational scheme in place. For example:  In a narrative, the writer might present events in chronological order from earliest to latest. For an argumentative essay, the writer might start by presenting their strongest evidence and end with their weakest. In order for a piece of writing to be coherent, there must be a logical flow of ideas from one clause, sentence, paragraph, or section to the next. Transitions are used to clarify variety of links between ideas, such as causative relationships, temporal relationships, or similarities and differences. Transitions can also be used to link a topic to supporting examples or evidence. Look for the effective use of transitional words and phrases, such as:  “Therefore” “On the other hand” “However” “Furthermore” “Likewise” “For example” “In conclusion”

TL;DR in English: Look for a clear beginning, middle, and end. Assess their use of paragraphing. Make sure their ideas are ordered in a logical way. Check for clear transitions between ideas or sections.

Pipe clamps use rubber gaskets create a tight seal to secure a small leak on your pipe. You can purchase these in the plumbing section of your local hardware store, but make sure to buy a pipe clamp that is the same size and at least as long as the pipe that’s leaking so you have a tight fit when you secure it. The rubber gasket is the rectangular piece inside of the clamp that makes your pipe’s water-tight. Set the rubber gasket on top of the hole in your pipe so it seals the leak completely. If the leak is on the bottom of the pipe, hold the clamp in place until you secure the clamp. Close the clamp around your pipe so it fits tightly on it and feed the bolts provided with the clamp through the holes. Turn the nuts using a wrench to secure them to the bottom of the bolts. Continue tightening the bolts until the clamp stays in place and doesn’t turn any further.

TL;DR in English: Buy a pipe clamp that's the same size as the leaky pipe. Align the rubber gasket on the pipe with the leak. Fit the clamp around the gasket and tighten the bolts.

It's always important to have as many details as you can before starting a conversation with someone you don't know well. See where he works, what he does for a living, and where he lives. You can also look for common ground, such as similar interests or the fact that you both have two cats. That is, if you are contacting person because he's a friend of a friend or because someone he knows recommended you chat, bring it up. As an example, you could say, "I'm writing to you because Jeff Grace of ABC Financials suggested I get in touch with you." If you notice the person works in a similar field, ask about the job he does. For instance, you could say, "Hi, I'm Jess. I notice you also work in engineering. I'm new to the field, so I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about your job." That is, tie in your location to initiate the conversation. You could say, "Hi, I'm Beca. I'm new in Phoenix, and I was wondering if you have some time to talk about jobs in computer science in this area." If you're looking to make connections, mention that. If you're trying to find places that are hiring, ask about that. Most people are willing to help if you state what you want. For example, you could say, "Hi, I'm new to the area, and I'm looking to make professional connections in my field. Do you mind chatting with me for a few minutes?"

TL;DR in English: Look at his profile first. Focus on your connections. Ask about the person's job. Tie the question to his location. Be straightforward about what you want.

Before you plant clover, you will need to get rid of any unwanted plant growth. You may use a weed killer, to eliminate any existing turf, weeds, or other unwanted plants.Some types of weed treatments, such as systemic herbicides or chemical broadleaf treatments, may require you to wait up to two weeks before planting new ground cover. Follow all label directions carefully. If animals may feed on your clover, if you may allow the clover to flower for bees to pollinate, and if the area drains into existing groundwater, avoid using chemical compounds such as Roundup. Clover seeds will do best if they don't have to compete with weeds while they're getting established. To remove all vegetation, rocks, and debris from the area, till or rake the soil to a depth of about eight inches (20 cm).  Tilling a month in advance will give any weeds time to regrow so you can remove them before planting. Tilling now will also make it easier to change the soil if the pH needs to be adjusted. To encourage latent weeds and vegetation to grow, provide the tilled area with a light misting of water every day. This process will help you eliminate weeds in a couple weeks, right before planting the clover seeds. You don't have to worry about watering if you're getting sufficient rain during this time. A couple days before planting, use a spade or small shovel to dig up any weeds that have sprouted up since you tilled the land. This will kill competition and give the clover the best possible chance of thriving. You can also use a scythe to cut them out.

If you need to appear authoritative, choose formal business attire. Choose a color that flatters you and keep bold accessories to a minimum. Bring your visuals, your tablet or laptop and your speech copy. If you're in a small room, ask someone to stand at the back of the room and see if he or she can hear you. In a larger facility, practice using the microphone so that your speech is neither too faint nor distorted. Try to arrive at your presentation well before your audience. Take the time to make sure the sound is good and run through your visual aids. If you're at a conference, you may have 15-20 minutes to prep. If you're the sole speaker, you could get there an hour in advance. Make sure that the computer, projection screen and easels are functional and positioned so that they are visible to your audience. You should either place them on a table for audience members to retrieve or pass them out in an organized fashion. If your speech is lengthy, then you will need some water to moisten your throat. Check both the front and the back of your outfit and make sure that your hair is neat and that your makeup, if you're wearing any, is not smudged.

No matter how much your customers may like you, you won't be able to establish loyalty if you provide them with an inferior product or service.  Use high-quality ingredients or parts and production that is not rushed or shoddy. Don't let your employees take short-cuts that would result in short-changing your customers. While many consumers report that they're willing to pay more for superior customer service, quite a lot of them expect stellar service regardless of price.   Lots of consumers are strapped for cash, and can't afford to pay more even if you're willing to go above and beyond. This means there's a limit to how high you can set prices even if you excel at customer service. Try to balance your profit margin with the limits of your customer's budgets. Keep current with price fluctuations across your industry, and pay attention to your main competitors.  For example, if you run a local flower shop, investigate prices at other brick-and-mortar stores in your town. See whether any online florists deliver in your area and if you can compete with their prices. If your employees are dejected or demoralized, customers will notice and may be less inclined to give you repeat business.   If your employees respect you and enjoy working for you, they will be more dedicated to providing good customer service.   Promote a "trickle down" effect, where happy employees make happy customers.

TL;DR in English: Make your product or service as perfect as possible. Set reasonable prices. Research price trends in your industry. Make your business a good place to work.

Any air that gets into the bottle will cause the ink to harden and dry. The longer you leave the bottle open, the thicker the ink will become. Even though the ink is inside the pen capsule, you'll still want to keep the cap on. Not only will this prevent the pen from leaking, but it will also keep ink from drying out on the nib too fast. It the ink dries on the nib, you might end up with a blockage. From time to time, you might want to open up your bottle of correction fluid, and wipe the neck part, right where the threads are. Soak a folded paper towel with some nail polish remover and wipe it around the neck. This will remove any excess ink that might have dried up on the neck of the bottle. It will help keep the cap tightly closed and prevent any air from getting inside. Every so often, run the pen across some paper. You can also scratch off any ink that is starting to dry on the ball point with your fingernail. This will help prevent any blockages. The tip should be pointing upward. If you store it on its side or upside down, the ink may flow into the nib and dry out. Keep it out of sunlight and heat, as both can cause the ink to dry and harden.

TL;DR in English: Keep the lid on the bottle when you are not using it. Keep a correction pen capped. Consider wiping the inside neck of the bottle with nail polish remover. Consider cleaning the nib of a correction ink pen from time to time. Store correction ink pens upright in a jar. Keep the correction fluid in a cool, dry place.

Although your adrenaline might be pumping during the negotiation process and this can be a stressful situation, you will do more to help your case by being respectful, polite, and calm.You could lose your negotiating power by being disrespectful or trying to strong-arm someone.  If this situation goes the way you hope, the person you are negotiating with will likely be your landlord, and you don’t want to start off with a negative relationship. People are usually more willing to be accommodating and helpful if they are being treated well. No one wants to deal with a rude tenant. When negotiating, it’s important to initially ask for a lower price than you are willing to pay, because it’s possible the landlord might agree to the deal. If they aren’t amenable to the initial offer, this tactic usually encourages them to name an alternate price, and then you can counter with another offer. One of the keys to successful negotiating is offering a deal in which the other person also wins something. Offering to give up on something or be accommodating might help you seal the deal. Here are a few ideas to consider:  If you do not have a car, you might be able to give up access to a parking space. If you have the available funds, you could offer to pay your rent in advance. Commit to a longer lease term in exchange for a lower price. Agree to provide longer notice when moving out. If the landlord is unwilling or unable to lower the rental price, you might still be able to negotiate amenities or discounts that save you money and make the apartment a more affordable option. Unless you are willing to ask, you never know what options might be available.  Ask for specific repairs to be made to the apartment or painting to be completed before you move into the unit. See if you can pay a lower security deposit or if application fees can be waived. Request free parking or additional parking. Ask that utilities be included. Inquire about free cable or internet service. Your landlord might be open to providing a rental discount...

If you are already talking to the guy you want to hang out with, ask him about his interests. Use your knowledge about what he does for extracurriculars or as hobbies and incorporate them into your hangout.  For example, if he likes sports, go bowling or play a recreational game if possible. If he likes books, hang out and learn together in a library or bookstore. Even if you aren’t fully interested in his hobbies, open your mind to new experiences. You may find you enjoy it more than you thought! . Find a private time where you aren’t surrounded by other coworkers or students, and stay relaxed and confident as you approach him. Talking to him directly will show your interest in bonding with him and he will give you an immediate response to the offer. Ask him after class, work, or when you run into one another. Send a message over text or through a messaging app. Ask him if he would be interested in hanging out with an open-ended question to gauge his interest, or send a message with a specific time and date so he can easily answer yes or no.  You can also send a text message if you’re embarrassed to ask him while other people are around. Send him messages like “Do you want to go get a coffee sometime?” or “Would you like to come bowling with me this Saturday?” This will help him see that you’re interested in bonding with him. This will help you determine if he wants to hang out with you at some point in the future. If he says yes, make sure you follow through by asking him when he is free so you can work out the details.  Ask him questions like, “Would you like to get coffee sometime?” or use statements like, “We should get together outside of class/work soon.” You can add more specific details to your questions like, “Do you want to get lunch one of these weekends?” This adds more specificity and urgency while still leaving it open-ended. Be as detailed as possible while explaining the plans you want to do with him. Mention times and days you want to hang out so he can answer yes or no immediately.  Ask...

Before you move anything, it's good to consolidate all the little stuff that might get jostled, broken, or lost while you're moving furniture. Take the same things on your desk or dresser, like lamps, pens, and picture frames, and move them to another room in the house momentarily. To avoid them falling or adding more weight, gather them all in a large bin and take them out of your room. In some cases, especially if you've got a crowded room, it's better to take the furniture out and get the room empty, or close to empty, before refiling it in a new way. This will also give you the option of cleaning the floor more thoroughly, underneath your bed, dresser, and other areas that might not have been cleaned since whenever you last rearranged. Start by placing the biggest thing in your room, which will usually be your bed, but you might have a large dresser or desk that rivals your bed in size. If something else is in the way, move that a little out so you can move the other furniture in.  Once your first piece is in place, take the thing you just moved out of the way and move it to where you want it. If something else is there, do the same thing you did before and continue this until everything is in its place. Another way to organize is picking a corner of the room that's farthest from the entry door and building back toward the door from there. This will keep the entryway relatively uncluttered while you're rearranging stuff. Once you've got the biggest stuff in place, continue bringing in more stuff and filling in around, according to your new plan. Make sure you like each piece in it's new place before you build around it, so you don't have to start all over, if you don't like something. If you move your desk in and start loading up the drawers again, it would be annoying if you had to take it all out because you're unsatisfied with the desk, once you get the dresser in place. Don't decorate quite yet, get the big stuff in place first. Bring all the little things back into your room and put them where they...

TL;DR in English: Remove all small things you don't use much from your room. Take furniture out, if necessary. Get help moving the big stuff. Continue moving furniture in according to your new design. Focus on the finishing touches after the furniture is in place.

Brokers make their money charging you for each time you buy or sell a stock. You need to know this fee going in, but you also need to make it clear to your broker your acceptable level of trading. Some brokers will try to sucker in novice investors with high-commission stocks and multiple trades to make more money.  If you have a large account and plan on frequent or aggressive trades, you might look for a commission-based account, where the broker gets a percentage of your portfolio instead of a fee per trade. If your broker is making frequent changes and trades, known as "churning," they may be trying to raise their commission. Any trading that eats into your principal should be red-flagged. Your risk tolerance determines how bold of an investment the broker will take. Stocks are, in some way, gambling, and there are both safe bets and long-shots. Your broker will want guidance on where to steer the portfolio, based on your financial needs:  Younger investors should aim for high-risk investments. Stocks are a long game, and any busts now will more than likely be rectified with later booms. You have the time to afford the risk. Middle-aged investors should strike a balance between safe and risky stocks. Low-risk accounts will make safe bets with lower profits. These are great for older investments who could not deal with a sudden loss of money near retirement, or those who only want slow, reliable growth. There are two basic investment account options -- cash and cash/margin accounts. Cash accounts must have a deposit available to make a trade-- the money must be on hand. Margin accounts allow you to borrow money from the brokerage firm to purchase stocks. This loan is based on the expected profit from the stock.   Cash accounts are safer, but yield far less profit. You know exactly where all your money is, and whose money it is.  Margin accounts technically put you into debt, though interest rates are far lower than that at a bank. Because they make more money available to you, you stand to earn more money....

TL;DR in English: Expect to pay a fee for every transaction you make. Expect your broker to ask your acceptable level of risk. Expect most professional investors to choose margin accounts, not cash accounts. Expect the broker to determine your tax status based on your financial needs. Expect the meeting to end with a request for your investment money. Expect a professional broker often uses algorithm-based trading. Expect a professional to invest in things other than stock. Expect a broker to invest in "funds," or pre-made collections of stocks.

Make sure the temperature of the flame is around 120 °C (248 °F) so the interior oils will come to the surface of the bamboo stalk.  Use caution when working with an open flame so you do not burn yourself. Wear gloves throughout the process since the bamboo stalks can get very hot. A gas grill or a charcoal grill will work fine for this process. Start at one end of the stalk and work the area up to the closest node. The bamboo will turn from light green to dark green as the oils rise to the surface. Heating the bamboo will also clean it of any blemishes. After 10 seconds of heating an area of bamboo, use a microfiber towel to wipe away the oil that releases from the stalk. The bamboo will look shiny as the oil rises to the surface and as you wipe it off. Fold the towel in half to protect yourself from the heat. Keep heating and wiping the bamboo until it turns yellow. You can continue heating and curing the bamboo until it reaches the desired color. Cured bamboo will be protected from fungi and insect infestation.

Don't play a machine that only has a right and forward button, when you've pressed and released each button once the claw will drop without you getting the chance to adjust. Look for one with a joystick and a "drop" button. When selecting the toy you think you can get, put aside the toy you really want but is trapped. There are ways to enhance the chances you'll get something from the machine:  Close in on a toy that is on top of the pile. If it has an arm or tail trapped under another toy, it won't come up, so avoid that one. The claw is strong enough to lift a toy, but not to un-wedge one.  Consider the shape of the toy. Avoid choosing round toys as the claw will probably slip on the toy. Choose toys with features that allow the claw to have a better grip, like a doll with large pigtails.  Pay attention to how far the claw-track reaches––toys against the glass are a no-go. Stand in front of the machine to do left-right, but stand beside the machine to do forward-back. The mirror that's in most machines screws up depth perception.  Some claws drift left or right, some rotate and change the position of the prongs. " You probably didn't get it.  If the prongs didn't close or let go of the animal without lifting it, stop immediately because the machine is broken or rigged. If the claw grabbed the toy, then dropped it, try again. If it missed entirely, adjust  and don't forget to compensate for drift and rotation. That said, also know when to quit. If it's the toy you're after, you can probably get a very similar, better-made toy for 5-10 dollars at a box store or the mall. If you have spent two dollars, seriously evaluate whether it's worth it and whether the machine works. If you're after the thrill of the win, consider downloading an app for a game of skill and playing to win online without mounting cash losses.

This can often mean resolving conflicts. Ideally, your employee handbook should address any problem situation, and open communication should identify problems early. Even so, sometimes, things may rise to a level that requires you to intervene. You should try to be as impartial as possible and use your best judgment to resolve the situation.  If an employee raises a complaint or concern, you should listen carefully to the problem. If another employee is involved, you should then give that person an opportunity to speak to you. Refer to the employee handbook, if that can help address the situation. You may not be able to satisfy everyone involved. At least be fair and reach a conclusion that is best for the company as a whole. If your business has regular customers, you are likely to run into complaints at some point. Handle these as respectfully as possible. Let the customer know that you respect their business and you are sorry for the problem (even if you don't believe you are at fault). If the customer is someone with an open contract with you, then refer to the terms of the contract to see if that will provide a solution. In the end, you should balance whether possibly losing the customer's business is worth the cost of addressing the complaint. For example, suppose your business supplies personalized stationery to other offices, and a customer refuses to pay for a shipment because the quality is poor. If you disagree, you should balance the price of that one invoice against the costs of suing for collection and losing that customer's future business. It may be better for your business to lose the value of one shipment but keep a longstanding satisfied customer. You should plan for any possible emergencies that could occur. This includes anything from a staff illness or injury to a fire in your store or some natural disaster. Develop a written emergency plan to account for any kind of occurrence. Your plan should address every staff member's role, how to guide customers who may be in your facility, and...

Your short term memory can be thought of as the “holding tank” your brain uses to temporarily hold information while determining whether to filter it out (and forget it) or move it along into your long-term memory.  It is often said that your short term memory can hold about seven items of information at one time, for a period of time of typically 10-15 seconds (but even up to a minute).  People sometimes associate the concept of short term memory problems with the kind of amnesia you might see on a daytime soap opera, but it is more an issue with taking in new information and effectively determining its need for long-term storage. Jotting down notes, keeping a voice recorder handy, or tying strings on your fingers might help you make it through your daily routines, but they won’t facilitate any improvement of your short term memory. The only route to increasing your short term memory is through brain exercise and techniques to improve your focus and association skills. Like any other part of the body, brain inactivity can lead to weakness and decline.  A more active brain is a more healthy brain, and a healthy brain is better with short term memory.  Interact with people.  The simple act of having a conversation with someone can help keep the brain more active.  Even better would be to play chess, do puzzles together, or anything that challenges your brain to work harder.  Stimulate your mind when alone as well.  Don’t just sit in front of the TV.  Read a book; even better, write a book. There are many games and tests, some of which you can set up with items in your junk drawer, that can give your brain a good (and enjoyable) workout.  Sitting down to do a few puzzles or other brain exercises twice a day can be enough to keep your memory powers from stagnating.  Use flash cards.

Having your own version of popular TV game shows or quiz shows can be a great way to make testing fun for you and your class. You will have to think of your favorite shows, and which ones you could translate into your classroom. There are a number of templates that have been created and uploaded onto the internet as teaching aids. You can download and use these templates, and adapt them to suit your needs.  Popular shows like “Jeopardy”, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” and “The Weakest Link” are just a few of the options you could go for. You can search online for a model for a specific game show, or visit a site that has a few different examples for you to try out.  These games will typically run on PowerPoint, so they are easy to introduce to the classroom. You could also use these games as a study aid when you are working at home. If you are more into sports than game shows, you can use a variety of sports-based games to make your testing and studying more fun and engaging. There are games you can access online related to basketball, football, and baseball amongst others. Sports games generally work by quizzing each team, with points being scored for correct answers.  For example, one PowerPoint basketball game works by allowing a shot for each correct answer. The game will keep track of the scores for each team. There are all sorts of new games to play in class that involve computers, but sometimes the traditional games can be the best. If you are trying to learn vocabulary for a foreign language, try playing Hangman or Pictionary. These are easy games that the whole class can participate in.  You could introduce a rule in Hangman whereby you have a get a question right before you can guess a letter. You could play these games as a whole class, or split up into smaller groups. Working in smaller groups might make it easier to ensure that everyone gets involved and participates. You can use classic board games to make testing more fun.

Sprinkle some live mealworms or a few pieces of shredded romaine lettuce into the palm of your hand. You’ll use these treats to entice your ducks into coming close enough to touch.  Ducks also love to nibble on fresh foods like fruits, vegetables, herbs, and whole grains. Seeds, berries, beans, corn, and leafy greens are among their favorites. Contrary to popular belief, ducks should never be fed bread products (such as sliced bread, bread crumbs, or crackers). Starchy, nutrient-poor foods can be bad for their health.  Produce items like onions, nuts, and citrus should also be avoided, as they can be hard for ducks to digest or present a possible choking hazard. As the ducks come closer to investigate the treats, hold out your other hand slowly and use it to stroke or tickle their heads. They’ll be so focused on the food that they won’t consciously register being touched. However, some light petting will calm their nerves and prime them for more prolonged contact in the future.  Don’t reach for your ducks too quickly or forcefully—since they're natural prey animals, this will more than likely scare them away. Instead, let them come to you. It’s important to handle ducks with care, especially when they’re young. When one of your ducks comes within grabbing range, place a hand over either of its wings and lift it gently from above. Be sure to keep one arm underneath the duck's body to support its weight and keep its legs secured. Speak soothingly to it and release it after a few short moments.  Ducks typically tolerate being petted pretty well, but it may take them a while to warm up to being held. Try petting them with both hands or coaxing them into your lap with treats first. If your ducks don’t want to be held, let them go. Seizing them by force will only teach them to panic when picked up. Eventually, your ducks will become so used to being touched that they’ll no longer be skittish when they see your reaching out for them. You’ll then be able to pick them up to clean them, corral them, or just to show...

TL;DR in English: Grab a handful of treats. Pet your ducks gently while they eat out of your hand. Work your way up to picking up your ducks. Hold your ducks for longer periods of time.

You cannot nail a floor onto concrete, so if you have a concrete subfloor, you may need to install a wooden underlay first. A more stable solution, though more expensive, may be to purchase floating floor materials. This includes a layer of foam or other material as an underlay, then click-together floorboards that do not require nails. If there is a room below the floor you are installing, remove chandeliers, ceiling fans, and other fixtures while you are installing. The pressure of the pneumatic nail gun could shake them loose through the floor joists. Leave a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) space between the bamboo floorboards and the wall to allow for any slight expansion of the floorboards. Place them across the floor joists, and start against an outside wall if possible to establish your line. Fit each plank together using the tongues and grooves. Using spacers is recommended. These are simply thin or wedge-shaped objects placed between the floor and the wall to keep them separate. Use a table saw or circular saw to cut the last floorboard to the correct length. Save the excess board to begin the next row. Drilling the holes before nailing reduces the chance of bending or breaking the board. Drill at a 45–50º angle from the side of the board, so the next row of planks will hide the nails. Make sure the holes you drill are smaller than the nails you are using.  Each board should be drilled (and nailed) approximately every 10 inches (25 cm), and about 4 inches (10cm) from each end. Do not drill closer than 4 inches (10cm) from the end to avoid splitting the board. If your subfloor has raised floor joists, make sure your hole is over one of these so the board can be securely nailed. Test on a piece of scrap or defective bamboo floorboard first to see if the gun and nails are appropriate for your wood. If it "dimples" with a raised or cracked mark, test again with a different air pressure. Warning: put on safety goggles before using a nail gun. Nail the boards in place through the guide holes you drilled. A professional...

Drizzle a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet (about 10 to 14 inches) over medium heat before cooking the base of your breakfast skillet. If you're serving more than a few people, it's important to pick a base that is filling and will easily feed several people. You can cook diced or cubed potatoes as the base of your skillet. Whatever you choose, ensure the food is cooked until it's tender before you add your other ingredients. Good breakfast skillet bases include:  Cooked and drained pasta Cooked and cooled rice Diced and roasted sweet potatoes Hash browns Diced yam or butternut squash Once your base has cooked until it is soft, add at least one or two different cubed vegetables. You may need to drizzle a little olive oil in the pan and stir it frequently to keep the food from sticking. Use at least one of these vegetables in your breakfast skillet:  Broccoli Cauliflower Mushrooms Kale or spinach Onions Bell peppers As the breakfast skillet cooks, sprinkle seasoning and herbs to add flavor. You can start with just 1/4 of a teaspoon of the spices and herbs you want to use. Taste the food and adjust the flavor by adding more seasonings to your taste. These seasonings work well in breakfast skillets:  Thyme Rosemary Garlic Oregano Chili powder Shallots Ground cumin Many breakfast skillets contain meat. You can use any type of sausage, cooked and shredded chicken, bacon, or smoked salmon. If you'd like to stick to a vegetarian breakfast skillet, just use eggs or tofu. To add eggs, you can just make wells in the veggies and crack the eggs into each well. You could also drop the eggs into the skillet and stir them frequently while the skillet cooks. This will scramble the eggs. If you'd like to top the breakfast skillet with fried eggs, try frying the eggs in a separate pan. This way, you can cook them exactly how you like them and simply place them on top of your cooked breakfast skillet. Depending on how you decided to cook your eggs, you may need to continue cooking the skillet. If you'd like your eggs...

TL;DR in English: Choose your base. Add vegetables. Add your seasonings. Add eggs and protein. Finish cooking the skillet. Finished.

If you really want to get your ex interested in you again, then you have to show him that you don’t really need him to be happy. Though this may seem like a contradiction, acting like you’re having a great time without your ex can actually make him jealous and to make him wish he was back with you again. You don’t have to be too obvious about it to make him see that you’re confident and capable without him.  If you’re hanging out with your girlfriends and your ex is in the same room, try not to look his way or act like you care about what he thinks of you. Focus on enjoying your conversations and on having a great time without looking his way. Though you shouldn’t fake a laugh just to make him jealous, you should be open to cracking up and having a great time without him even if he’s watching. Even if you’re by yourself, try to perk up and look like you’re in a good mood when you walk by your ex. You don’t want him to think that you’re totally mopey without him. While you don’t need to make your ex feel so jealous that he feels like you’ve totally moved on, there’s nothing wrong in having a bit of fun with the other guys who come your way. Enjoy flirting with other guys or just having a great conversation with them if your ex is around, instead of avoiding other guys in the hopes that your ex will come up to you; don’t be afraid to post pictures of you with your guy friends on social media or to stop talking to other guys just because your ex may be watching.  While you shouldn’t use other guys who like you just to make your ex jealous, there’s no harm in flirting a bit if you make it clear it won’t really lead anywhere. Even if the guy you’re hanging out with is just a friend, there’s no harm in having fun with him and cracking up when the two of you are together. Once you feel like it’s the right time to start talking to your ex again, you can introduce yourself into his life again. You can start by saying hi from across the hall or just making quick small talk with him at the same party and this can lead...

TL;DR in English: Let him see you having a great time without him. Make him a little bit jealous. Spend time with him again. Show him that things will be different if you got back together. See if he’s interested. Start dating him again.

Don’t put yourself in a place where you will be self-conscious or experience interruptions.  Libraries are designed for finding great books and reading!  You can grab a book and get started right away in the quiet of your local library branch. Go to a park or somewhere outdoors.  If you associate reading with oppressive indoor settings, going outdoors can be a great way to break up the monotony.  Try walking on the treadmill with a book. Some people simply cannot sit still while reading. Some studies say that you can remember more later if you read while walking on the treadmill, and the jolt of dopamine you get from multitasking may encourage you to keep reading. Many people think that they do not have time to read, but the truth is that they just have not found the time.  Some easy tweaks may add an hour or so per day of extra time.  If you normally have down time before or after work (extra time waking up or winding down), you can make reading a part of that routine. If you spend time checking your email or playing games as a matter of routine, put your book by your laptop or on the couch to remind you to read instead. Small adjustments make a difference. Getting up a little earlier can make time for reading in your breakfast routine.  Getting to the gym earlier can make an extra half-hour for reading before bed. Goal-oriented reading is less pleasurable than relaxed reading. You will feel happier after reading if it is done without any stress on finding information or reading a certain number of pages.   Go to bed a half hour or hour earlier than usual, so that you have time to read before you get too tired. Reading under the light of a lamp is much healthier than looking at the blue light of a phone screen or e-reader. It's good to read in the morning as you can get an inspirational and fresh start to your day. Be aware that the light from an e-reader device may disrupt your sleep. A real book might be a better option before bed. This is not the most relaxed way of reading, but if you are an on-the-go...

TL;DR in English: Look for a quiet, comfortable space to settle in with a book. Add reading to your schedule. Read before going to sleep. Squeeze reading in between activities. Get away from screens.

Water dragons can grow quite large, and you should feel comfortable handling a large lizard.    You will also need the right amount of space to dedicate to an enclosure that will comfortably house your new water dragon.  Adult males will grow to about 3 feet in length. Adult females will reach around 2 feet in length. Water dragons can live up to fifteen years in captivity.  Caring for a water dragon is a commitment that you should be prepared for.  Do not acquire a water dragon if you do not feel like you can commit this amount of time to caring for one. If well cared for, your water dragon should enjoy a long and healthy life.  However, you should be observant for any health issues that may arise over the course of your water dragon's life.  Visit with your veterinarian regularly to catch some of the more common health issues with water dragons.  Lack of calcium or underexposure to UV light can cause metabolic bone disease.  This will have the symptom of weakness in the legs or jaw. Your water dragon may cause abrasions to its own face by bumping into the walls of the enclosure. Overfeeding will cause obesity in your water dragon. Injuries or other illnesses may occur at any time.  Always monitor your water dragons behaviour to  alert you to possible health issues.

Wake up your significant other and tell them you have a surprise for them. Then take them to their favorite brunch spot and treat them to some good food, and maybe a mimosa or two (if they're old enough). Choose a park with some beautiful foliage or gardens in it. Stop and sit on a bench along the way and tell your significant other how happy you are to be spending their birthday with them. Rent ice skates at a local ice skating rink if you don't already have some. If your significant other doesn't know how to ice skate, help them onto the rink and let them hold onto you for support. You'll both be feeling the romance while you're holding hands and skating around the rink. Take lots of photos together with the animals and buy your significant other a small birthday present at the zoo gift shop. If there's no zoo near you, go to an aquarium instead. Go swimming or rent paddle boards together. Hold hands and walk up and down the beach, collecting seashells along the way. You can keep them as a nice birthday memento for your significant other. Research local wineries in your area and schedule a tasting for two. Keep in mind that there will likely be tasting fees, so include that in your budget for the day. Be the designated driver and let your significant other enjoy most of the wine. If you live close to a city you don't know that well, rent bikes there and ride around to do some sightseeing. You can also ride bikes through the park. Stop somewhere along the way and treat them to an ice cream for their birthday. If there's a nearby landmark or attraction that they're constantly talking about seeing, surprise them and drive there for the day. If it's a short drive, you could leave it as a surprise until you get there. For example, if your significant other has always wanted to visit a particular city that's not too far away, drive there and spend the day exploring. Surprise your significant other by taking them zip lining or whitewater rafting. If they're really daring, take them skydiving or bungy jumping.

TL;DR in English: Go out to brunch to kick off the day. Go for a romantic stroll through the park if it's nice outside. Go ice skating if you're celebrating during the winter. Buy two tickets to the zoo if your significant other loves animals. Lounge at the beach if you live near the ocean or a lake. Go wine tasting for a more upscale birthday outing. Rent bicycles and go exploring together. Take a day trip to somewhere your significant other's always wanted to go. Go do something adventurous together.

If you want people to give you money via PayPal, they will need your e-mail address. Make sure, when requesting to receive money via PayPal, you give people the e-mail address associated with your account and not a different address. You can send requests for money through PayPal by logging into your account. Click "Tools", then "Request Money." Enter the amount of money you wish to receive and the e-mail or phone number of the person you're requesting it from. Then click, "Request Money." This is a good tool if you need to send someone a gentle reminder they owe you money. For example, if a friend borrowed money from you for something, you can send them a reminder of the amount via PayPal. If you do any kind of freelance work, you can easily invoice your hours using PayPal. After hitting the "Request Money" tab, you can select "Invoice" from the menu along the top of the page. You then fill out a form where you provide details of the services you provided, your hours, your rates, and the total amount owed. If you sell things online, on sites like eBay, most sites will allow you to link your account to your PayPal. This way, when customers make purchases, their money will automatically be directed to your PayPal account. Every site has a different procedure for linking your PayPal account, but you usually just need to enter the e-mail associated with your PayPal and possibly some personal information. If you use PayPal as an online merchant or as a way to invoice an employer, a fee of 2.9% + $0.30 will be deducted from your final payment. To get around this fee, calculate it into your price or invoice by multiplying your desired price by 0.029, then adding $0.30.  If you’re transferring money between friends and family with a linked credit card, you’ll be charged the same fee. If you’re using a linked bank account, you won’t be charged a fee.

Most mailing services approve street designator (like ST for street), secondary street indicators (like APT for apartment), directional indicators (like N for North), or state and countries (like CA for California or UK for the United Kingdom). Do not abbreviate city names. Spell it out completely to prevent confusion (e.g. Los Angeles, not LA). Including the wrong zip code can delay your package even worse than writing no zip code. In some cases, your package may even end up lost. Look up the zip code before you write it to make sure you add the right one. Write your address slowly, as writing quickly can increase the probability of mistakes. Compare your written addresses to the correct delivery and return address. If you notice any mistakes, place a white label over the addresses and write them again. Even if you write the right address, choosing the wrong box can affect your packaging and shipping costs.

If you feel dizzy, sweaty, shaky, or weak, check your blood sugar. If you’re at 70 mg/dl or lower, you may need to eat or drink something with a high sugar content to bring it up. After eating something, wait 15 minutes, then check your blood sugar again. If you’re still below 100 mg/dl, consume something else sugary. Try either taking 3-4 glucose tablets or drinking or eating one of the following to bring your blood sugar back up when it’s low:   1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of apple juice or soda ½ a banana 1 apple 4-5 saltine crackers, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of raisins 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey Candies (e.g. lifesavers, skittles, gummy bears, or starbursts) When you're dehydrated, your blood doesn't have as much liquid to work with, which can throw your blood sugar off balance. Make sure you're getting 10 to 15 cups (2.4 to 3.5 L) of water each day to replenish what you lose. Carbohydrates help keep your blood sugar levels high enough, and they provide your body with energy. However, too many carbs can significantly elevate your blood sugar and also cause weight gain, so try to keep careful track of how many carbohydrates you eat.  First, talk to your doctor or nutritionist about how many carbohydrates you need in a day. Then, use that information to portion out your carbohydrates throughout the day. In general, 15 grams (0.53 oz) of carbohydrates counts as one serving. Generally, men need 4 to 5 servings per meal, or 12-15 servings each day, while women need 3 to 4 servings per meal, or 9-12 servings each day. Remember that this increases or decreases depending on the amount of energy you’re exerting. Sitting in the office requires fewer servings, while climbing a mountain may require many more. Remember to adjust accordingly, as each day is different. When counting carbohydrates, pay careful attention to labels. They will tell you how many carbs are in a certain food, so you don't have to guess. If the food doesn't have a label, look it up on the internet or in a nutrition app to find out. For reference, one...

Once you find your premise, your setting, and characters, create a rough outline of the story. Follow a story structure such as the one suggested in Freytag’s pyramid to create your outline, or read Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Philosophy of Composition” for guidance on how to structure your story. The key elements may include:  Exposition: Set the scene and introduce the characters. Inciting incident: Have something happen in the story to start the action. Rising action: Continue the story, building excitement and suspense. Climax: Include a moment that holds the most tension in the story. Falling action: These are events that occur after the climax. Resolution: Here, the character solves the main problem. Denouement: This is the ending in which the characters resolve any remaining questions. The most effective scary stories use description to show the reader how the characters feel in a story. This helps the reader feel like he is stepping into the main character’s shoes and identifying with this character. In contrast, when you tell the reader exactly how to feel by describing a scene flatly and obviously, the reader will feel less connected to the story.  For example, consider these two ways of describing a scene:  ”I was too scared to open my eyes, even though I heard footsteps coming closer.” “I wrapped the blankets tighter around me and let out a sick whimper. My chest was tight, my stomach rotten. I would not look. No matter how close those shuffling footsteps came, I would not look. I would not, I would…not…”    The second example gives the reader more of an insight into the character’s physical feelings. Allow the story to get more suspenseful as it goes on. For an effective suspenseful story, you need the reader to feel empathy and concern for the characters, and you need impending danger and escalating tension.   Hint at the story’s direction and possible climax by providing small clues or details. You might briefly mention a label on a bottle that will later come in handy for the main character. There...

TL;DR in English: Create a plot outline. Show, don’t tell, your story. Build tension as the story progresses. Try foreshadowing. Avoid certain words that are too obvious. Avoid cliches. Use gore and violence with purpose.

All potential grants will set forth a list of eligibility criteria that you must meet in order to apply. It is important that you can clearly articulate how your business meets the eligibility requirements beyond being a minority-owned business. Some additional eligibility requirements can include:  Business entity type. Some grants may be limited to for-profit businesses, such as grants from Minority Business Development Agency. Grants may also require that the business applicant be a not-for-profit organization such as grants awarded by the Gates Foundation. Limited to certain categories of business fields. Some grants may be limited to specific business fields. For instance, grants may be directed to companies that work in the environmental and natural resources fields or in technology. Limited to certain locations. Grants offered by state governments or the federal government may be tied to specific locations. For instance, the Gillibrand guide directs readers to grants that are only for businesses located in rural communities, as well as grants limited to businesses in New York State. Most grant websites will either have you download a grant application or apply for the grant online. In either case, be sure that you have all of your supporting documentation available as you prepare your grant applications. Most grants require that you submit a grant proposal that outlines how you satisfy the eligibility criteria, your business aims, how you intend to use the funds, and a budget.

Fill your sink or a bucket with one part vinegar and three parts lukewarm water. Mix the solution thoroughly. Pad the bottom of your sink or bucket with a soft towel to prevent the crystal from getting damaged.  Vinegar will help remove cloudiness from crystal as well as add a beautiful shine.  You can also substitute ammonia for vinegar. Allow the crystal to soak for five to ten minutes. If your item is too big to fully submerge, you can fill it with the solution (e.g., a vase or bowl) or dampen a soft cloth or sponge in the solution and use it to wipe down the crystal (e.g., a lamp or figurine). Be sure to use a soft cloth or sponge so as not to scratch the crystal items. Gently rub your cloth or sponge on the surface of the crystal using a circular motion. Air drying will often leave water spots, so use a lint-free or microfiber cloth. You may want to wear gloves so you don’t get fingerprints on your clean crystal. Carefully pat the crystal dry, rather than rubbing it.

Each meal should consist of 1 carbohydrate portion and 1 protein portion. The portions should match the size of your palm if you’re eating meat, or the size of your closed fist for bulkier foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Start the Atkins diet by going through Induction. During this period, you will eat no more than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day, and that total should contain 12 to 15 grams of carbohydrates from foundation vegetables. Continue into Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL). After the 2-week Induction period, gradually add carbohydrates to your daily total to find your carbohydrate level for weight loss (CLL). Start Pre-Maintenance after OWL. When you are within 10 pounds of your goal weight, continue adding carbohydrates to your daily total until your weight loss slows to a crawl. This will help you to determine your carbohydrate equilibrium that you can utilize in Lifetime Maintenance. Progress to Lifetime Maintenance. Eat the number of carbohydrates each day that you can safely consume without losing or gaining weight. You’ll have to drink at least a gallon of water per day on the Body for Life diet. That amount is the equivalent of 16 8-ounce glasses of water per day.  Body for Life does not have supplementation requirements.  Take 1 multivitamin and 1 fish oil capsule daily on Atkins. Your multivitamin should not contain extra iron because the extra iron could cause constipation. Consume more sodium on the Atkins diet. Low-carb diets may leach sodium and potassium from your kidneys. Therefore, you should consume 2 cups of broth per day on Atkins, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce or 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

TL;DR in English: Eat 6 meals per day on the Body for Life diet. Follow the 4 phases of the Atkins diet while eating 4 to 5 times per day. Drink twice as much water on Body for Life. Drink at least 8 8-ounce glasses of water per day on the Atkins diet. Add additional vitamins and minerals to your diet on Atkins.

The Ivy League schools do not give out athletic scholarships to students. Still, engaging in athletics will help you to show Yale that you are more than just a bookworm. Playing high school sports while maintaining high grades demonstrates that you are a well-rounded individual who can balance multiple responsibilities.  Also, if you excel in a sport in which Yale participates and your high school grades are above average, it is possible that Yale will “bend” some of the more stringent academic standards for admission to get desirable student-athletes to attend the school. While Yale is not known for its athletics program, the university has had some success in men's diving and swimming, golf, hockey and women's fencing. Getting involved in student government in your high school is a great way to show Yale that you are engaged in your academic environment and are ready to take on leadership roles within that environment. So run for class president, vice-president or treasurer. While joining clubs and group activities in school are great extracurricular activities on a college application, nothing is more impressive than a young student taking the initiative to found a group or spearhead a student project. Identify areas where your school is lacking extracurricular activities and lobby your school’s administration to allow you to begin a new group. When taking this step, be sure you identify other students that will participate and a faculty member who can oversee the group. This will make “pitching” the idea to your school’s administration much easier. Get involved in community service, charity, and public outreach programs. Yale is looking for intelligent individuals who will use their intelligence and ambition to improve their community and those around them. Helping to improve your community during high school will demonstrate that you are exactly the type of outward-thinking person Yale wants at their school. Working a part-time job during your high school tenure will demonstrate your work ethic and...

Knowing what your goals are will help you keep your priorities straight during the conversation. Think about what you want from the conversation. Maybe you want your parents to let you get gages, or maybe you think lip piercings are cute. Having a goal will also help you gather talking points as you prepare.  Think about potential compromises, too: what if your parents won't let you get your septum pierced, but they'll say yes to double-pierced ears? Would you be satisfied by that? Ask yourself not just what you want but what you want to be during the conversation. Aim for a positive, kind, and understanding attitude. Without a plan to keep on track, your emotions can easily get the best of you and launch you into an argument. Take some time to write down the three or four most important things you want to say. Look over this list during the conversation to keep on-track. Remember: "I just want it!" is not a compelling point. Most likely, your parents will have questions. Even if they're accepting from the start, they may want to know who's giving you the piercing or what care is involved while the piercing heals. Having all necessary information will show them that you've thought about this and are responsible. Find a time when your parents are happy and comfortable to start the conversation. The week rent is due, for example, your parents will probably be stressed and less open-minded. You and your parents will both be in the best mindset if relaxed. While you can give your parents a letter or text asking for their permission, a conversation will be most convincing. If you can, have the conversation in-person.

Turn the burner to high so the water comes to a boil and heat the jars for 10 minutes.  Turn off the burner and leave the hot water in the stockpot. You'll use this to process the jars of pickles. If you prefer to simply store the pickles in the refrigerator instead of canning them, refrigerate them in sterilized containers for up to 1 month. Rinse 3 pounds (1.4 kg) of pickling cucumbers and cut off the ends. Then peel an onion. Cut each cucumber and 1/2 of the onion into thin, even slices and place them in a colander. Set the colander in the sink. To make it easier to cut the cucumbers or onion, use a mandoline. Run cold water over the salted vegetables in the sink to remove the salt. Let the water drain while you line a baking sheet with paper towels. Spread the sliced vegetables on the paper towel-lined sheet. Carefully lift the hot jars out of the water bath and set them on your work surface. Remove the sheet of sliced cucumbers and onions from the refrigerator and fill the jars with the vegetables. Leave 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of space at the top of the jar. Leaving headspace at the top of the jar will prevent the pickles and syrup from escaping as the jars process. Set new seals on the jars and screw bands on until they're fingertip tight. Carefully lower the jars into the water bath that you set up earlier. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and then set a timer for 15 minutes. Boiling the jars for 15 minutes will force the air out of the jar and create a vacuum-seal so the pickles are preserved. Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature before you store them. For the best flavor, wait 1 to 2 days before opening a jar and eating them. For long-term storage, keep the unopened jars at room temperature for up to 1 year. Once you open a jar of pickles, store it in the refrigerator.

TL;DR in English: Sterilize 2 pint jars Slice the cucumbers and 1/2 of an onion into 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) pieces. Rinse the vegetables and lay them on a sheet. Fill the sterilized jars with the sliced cucumbers and onions. Process the jars for 15 minutes. Let the pickles rest for 1 to 2 days before eating them.

Investing in the stock market involves risk, and this includes the risk of permanently losing money. Before investing, always ensure you have your basic financial needs taken care of in the event of a job loss or catastrophic event.  Make sure you have 3 to 6 months of your income readily available in a savings account. This ensures that if you quickly need money, you will not need to rely on selling your stocks. Even relatively "safe" stocks can fluctuate dramatically over time, and there is always a probability your stock could be below what you bought it for when you need cash. Ensure your insurance needs are met. Before allocating a portion of your monthly income to investing, make sure you own proper insurance on your assets, as well as on your health. Remember to never depend on investment money to cover any catastrophic event, as investments do fluctuate over time. For example, if your savings were invested in the stock market in 2008, and you also needed to spend 6 months off work due to an illness, you would have been forced to sell your stocks at a potential 50% loss due to the market crash at the time. By having proper savings and insurance, your basic needs are always covered regardless of stock market volatility. Depending on your investment needs, there are several different types of accounts you may want to consider opening. Each of these accounts represents a vehicle in which to hold your investments.  A taxable account refers to an account in which all investment income earned within the account is taxed in the year it was received. Therefore, if you received any interest or dividend payments, or if you sell the stock for a profit, you will need to pay the appropriate taxes. As well, money is available without penalty in these accounts, as opposed to investments in tax deferred accounts.    A traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) allows for tax-deductible contributions but limits how much you can contribute. An IRA doesn't allow you to withdraw funds until you reach retirement age...

TL;DR in English: Ensure investing is right for you. Choose the appropriate type of account. Implement dollar cost averaging. Explore compounding.

If you feel minor leg pain while playing a sport, working out at the gym or being active in general, then take a break and rest it for at least a few hours. Most cases of minor leg pain is muscle strain or cramping from over-exertion, so rest is a good remedy most of the time. If the pain quickly fades away, then return to your activity. If not, try some of the advice in the following steps.  Although some leg cramps and mild muscle strain can resolve within a few hours, you may have to rest for a few days before resuming athletic activities. Bed rest and complete inactivity is not considered helpful for most musculoskeletal injuries nowadays, so some light walking and movement for house chores is recommended. While you're resting your leg, try to elevate it in order to deter swelling from forming. Most injuries to the muscles, ligaments and bones of the leg involve inflammation, which collects (pools) in the lower leg and causes more discomfort and problems with walking. Therefore, elevate your painful leg with a footstool when you sit, or use extra pillows while you lie on the couch or in bed.  Elevating your leg sort of cancels out the effects of gravity and prevents water-like fluid from pooling in your lower leg and foot. Raising your injured leg above the level of your heart is ideal, although that's obviously difficult while sitting. Lying flat on your back with your leg elevated is probably the easiest and most comfortable position. Since most minor leg injuries involve strained or tight muscles, take the time to do some leg stretches after you've rested them for a short period of time. Stretching elongates muscle fibers, increases flexibility and promotes better circulation, all of which can alleviate minor pain or discomfort. Pinpointing where your leg pain is coming from will help you to choose the most effective stretch. All stretches should be held for 30 seconds and repeated three to five times daily until the pain fades away.  If your pain is coming from your hamstring muscle (directly below...

Practice before the challenge. Keep your cool. Go for it!

Have a well lit working area where you are away from distractions and have all equipment ready. You want to devote your entire attention to your flash cards. Some people enjoy having a television on in the background or have music playing. If this is you, feel free to enjoy your preferred auditory stimuli, just make sure that they don’t distract you from your task. This means that you should have your flash cards and textbook ready. Have a good pen, markers, highlighters, and whatever other writing implements you’d like to use. At this stage, you’ll also need to decide what medium you want to use to make your flash cards. Will you choose paper and pen or will you create digital flash cards? Ultimately, it is a matter of preference. Studies have shown that most students retain information better if they have to write out the materials. Yet, the convenience of having your flash cards on your phone may outweigh other concerns. Identify salient information in your notes and text book. Distill them down into their key parts so that you can transfer them to your notecards — in a physical or a digital form. You can do this by highlighting your notes or the textbook. If you cannot write in your textbook, write on a separate sheet of paper or create a separate file in a word processor on your computer. Eventually, you will develop a system of note-taking that will make flash cards easier to make. Some of the easiest ways of doing this are to highlight or underline key sections your teacher stresses. Some people use asterisks, dashes, or other symbols to set off important text from the rest of their notes.

TL;DR in English: Find a place to work. Collect your materials together. Highlight the most important information.

Use a small hand vacuum, or hold the furniture-cleaning nozzle of a standard vacuum cleaner. Walk around your infested plants and suck the pests from the undersides of the leaves and foliage. This method is quick and straightforward, and it can remove whiteflies from all stages of the development cycle – from larvae to mature, plant-munching adults. Vacuuming is most effective as soon as you notice an infestation. When the vacuum bag is full of whiteflies, trade it out. Seal the vacuum bag inside an airtight plastic bag, then put it into the freezer for at least 24 hours to kill off the insects. Once all of the flies are dead, you can empty the bag into the trash. Use garden clippers to trim away as much as you can without killing the plant. You can also pluck infested leaves by hand. Look for white eggs and wingless "crawlers" on the underside of the leaves. Extremely infested leaves may be coated with a sticky or waxy fluid—honeydew—that is produced when the feeding nymphs ingest plant juices. Leaves may also appear pale and wilted.  Only trim as much as is healthy for the plant. If a particularly delicate plant is infested, you should cut away only the most infected leaves. If the plant is hardy, consider paring all the way down to the stem in order to stop the infestation in its tracks.  Make sure to properly dispose of the diseased leaves. Burn them or seal them into an airtight bag. If you don't handle the leaves carefully, the whitefly infestation may spread again. The whitefly matures in 4 stages: from eggs, to nymphs, to pupa, to the adult fly. Each method typically only targets certain stages in the fly life cycle. Thus, if a method targets the adult fly, you will need to keep applying that treatment until all of the existing eggs have matured into adults. You will need to be quick and diligent in your treatments to make sure that the newly-formed adults do not lay new eggs.  The nymph and adult flies are the only stages that cause physical damage to the host plant. Younger whiteflies will, however,...

TL;DR in English: Vacuum the flies. Remove the severely diseased leaves and branches. Prepare for repeated applications. Wash your plants with a soap solution. Introduce a natural predator.

Have your timer ready and try out what strategy you think will work best for you. It's helpful to try these out on your own to make sure you can master it before making bets and doing the challenge in public.  Watch more videos of people completing the challenge. How much time is given to chewing/gumming? How long is it taking others to finish two crackers at a time? One? Three? All six? Take notes on what techniques you believe are most effective. If you get over-excited or nervous you may breathe in the crumbs in your rush to stuff the crackers in your mouth and you won't be able to finish in time. Also, avoid shoving the crackers in your mouth as you could jab the back of your throat or poke your gums with the edges of the crackers. Try to relax and believe you can do it. You've done the prep work and are ready now. Tell your friends you can do it, take a deep breath, set your timer and defy the Saltine Challenge!

Handle mood swings. Know the signs of depression. Practice self-care. Find a support system.

The first step you will want to take is to actively ignore his phone calls and text messages for a period of time. Wait until he gets upset or agitated or demands to know why you stopped talking to him. When he asks, pretend you didn’t even realize you were ignoring him. Be apologetic, but sound kind of insincere about it, like, “Whoops. Sorry.” After you avoided his communication for a while, start answering him again, but give brief, non-committed answers and comments. He might text you “How are you feeling today baby?” You should respond with “Fine.” If he gets a sense that you aren’t really interested in him and don’t care about him, he will want you even more. If he wants to sleep with you, kiss you, etc., say, "Um, why? You're not my boyfriend." This will make him realize that he needs to make a real commitment to get you to do the things he enjoys doing with you. If the player is obvious about dating/sleeping with other girls, then act like you don't care at all. A lot of players enjoy the act of inspiring jealously in the women they are with from time to time. Don’t give him this satisfaction. Make plans with him from time to time, then back out or cancel. You may even want to avoid calling him or informing him that you won’t be making it. When he asks why you backed out or left him hanging, be vague. Don’t tell him anything specific and make it seem like you are trying to hide something- even when you aren’t. Say things like “Something came up” or “I had some personal stuff to take care of.” His desire to get to the bottom of it might drive him right into your arms. You’re player will likely get very, very confused. He won't understand why he’s not your number one priority anymore. Humans want what they can't have. By making yourself unavailable, he will want you more and will think about you more often.

TL;DR in English: Avoid answering his calls or texts. Answer his calls and texts tersely. Withhold affection. Act very cool and controlled. Lead him on. Use his needs to your advantage.

Your doctor will be able to decide if Misoprostol is right for you based on your overall health, medical history, and current prescriptions, if any. They will also be able to establish the right dosage of the medication for you. Follow your doctor's instructions for taking Misoprostol exactly and do not change how you take the drug without their approval. Non-prescription drugs can interfere with Misoprostol or exacerbate the symptoms associated with it. Tell your doctor about any over-the-counter drugs you are taking, as well as any  natural supplements or vitamins. If you are already taking Misoprostol and want to start taking a new, non-prescription drug, ask your doctor first. For instance, antacids that contain magnesium can raise your risk for diarrhea, or make it worse. Misoprostol is a strong medication that can cause miscarriage, premature birth, and birth defects if taken when pregnant.To avoid pregnancy, use a reliable form of birth control such as condoms or birth control pills while you are taking Misoprostol. If you are taking Misoprostol and think you might be pregnant, contact your doctor right away. Misoprostol is sometimes used to accelerate a first trimester miscarriage as an alternative to surgical measures. In this scenario, Misoprostol is inserted vaginally or melted under the tongue to soften and relax the cervix. Speak to your doctor about this option, which is still an "off-label" use of the drug. Do not use Misoprostol this way without permission and guidance from your doctor. Some side effects of Misoprostol, such as diarrhea or upset stomach, are mild and common during the first few days on the medication. Other symptoms are more serious and should be disclosed to your doctor right away. Tell your physician if you experience:  abdominal pain convulsions difficulty breathing low blood pressure severe diarrhea fever tremors drowsiness If you exceed your recommended dose of Misoprostol and fear for your health, do not wait to seek help. Call the poison control hotline for your region...

TL;DR in English: Take the medication directly as ordered by your doctor. Inform your doctor of any non-prescription drugs that you are taking. Use birth control if you are able to get pregnant while taking Misoprostol. Talk to your doctor about using Misoprostol to accelerate a miscarriage. Contact your doctor about serious side effects. Contact emergency medical services if you suspect an overdose.

Do OTC pain medications. Do leg lifts. Hold yourself in bridge pose. Practice your “pointer.

Be aware of acceptable doses of OTC pain medications. Understand the risks of overusing OTC drugs. Consult your doctor if you are unable to manage your pain without exceeding the recommended daily dosage of OTC drugs.

Make sure the vegetables you use are ripe and undamaged with no spots or bruises. You will need:  5 pounds tomatoes 1 pound canned green chilis, chopped 2 jalapeños, seeded and chopped (if you want extra spicy salsa, add two more jalapeños) 2 cups chopped white onion 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup white vinegar 1/2 cup chopped cilantro 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon sugar Canned tomato salsa tastes best when the tomatoes have been peeled. To peel the tomatoes, use the following method:  Remove the stems from the tomatoes and give them a rinse. Use a sharp knife to cut an "x" at either end of each tomato. Put a large pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Blanch the tomatoes by dropping them in the boiling water and allowing them to cook for 30 seconds. Remove the tomatoes, allow them to cool, and peel off the skin at the "x." It should come right off. Taking care to preserve the juices, use a knife to slice out the core of the tomatoes. Chop the tomatoes and set them aside in a bowl with their juices. Bring them to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and allow the salsa to simmer. Taste to make sure the salsa has enough spices, and add more if necessary. Use a thermometer to make sure it reaches a temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 degrees Celsius). This kills any enzymes or bacteria that may otherwise spoil your canned salsa.

TL;DR in English: Gather the ingredients. Prepare the tomatoes. Place all of the ingredients in a large steel pot. Cook the salsa.

Stretches that incorporate a bit more movement can help to develop the strength of your core.  This will help prevent lower back pain by stabilizing and otherwise protecting your spine. Further, strengthening your body generally will help keep your hips, knees, and torso in better alignment.  Stop doing any exercise immediately if you experience localized pain or tingling of any sort. While you will certainly feel your muscles working during strengthening exercises, stop if you feel any sudden or sharp discomfort. Lie on your stomach and tighten the muscles in one of your legs.  Raise the leg one or two inches from the floor and hold it there for a four count.  Return the leg to floor and allow the muscles to relax.  Raise the other leg in the same manner.  Raise each leg 20 times, and repeat the exercise two to three times per day.  Once you are easily able to do 20 legs lifts, incorporate more movement by extending your arms straight in front of you as though you are pretending to be a superhero. Each time you lift one of your legs, simultaneously lift the arm on the opposite side of your body a few inches off of the ground as well. Instead of pausing, maintain the motions fluidly, as though you are swimming. “Swim” for 60 seconds, rest for 10 seconds, and repeat the swim for as many sets as you can muster. Lie on your back. Bring your knees while keeping them together, so you’re your feet at side by side and flat on the floor. Tighten the muscles in your stomach and bottom and raise your hips from the floor until your neck, torso, and thighs make a straight line. Hold this position for 60 seconds, pause for 10 seconds, and repeat the hold two more times.  If you are unable to hold the bridge position for a minute, simple hold it for a count of four and lower your hips back to the floor.  Repeat the lift 20 times. Do bridge exercises multiple times throughout the course of the day. ” The pointer is another strengthening exercise borrowed from the yoga realm.  Kneel on your hands and knees, with your palms...

The most commonly used classes of OTC pain medications include Acetaminophen (Tylenol), and a class of drugs called "NSAIDs." NSAIDs stand for "nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs," and include medications such as Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and Naproxen sodium (Aleve). Aspirin is also technically an NSAID, although it more frequently used in the prevention of heart attacks and strokes than it is in easing chronic pain.  OTC pain medications are generally safe to take in the short-term (meaning for less than 10 days at a time), as long as you adhere to the dosing instructions on the bottle and do not exceed them. It is generally okay to have 500–1000 mg of Acetaminophen (Tylenol) every four to six hours as needed. However, if you consume moderate to heavy alcohol, your usage needs to be less and you should either temporarily reduce your consumption of alcohol, or speak to your doctor about a dosage that is safe for you. It is generally okay to have 400–800 mg of Ibuprofen (such as Advil) every four to six hours as needed. Note that the dosage for OTC drugs is smaller in children, and specific instructions will be present on the bottle. If you need to use OTC meds for more than 10 days to manage your pain, it is always advisable to book an appointment with your doctor to discuss the risks and benefits of doing so. Your doctor can also diagnose any underlying conditions (the root cause of your pain) at this time, and possibly advise different treatment options that may be more useful for you (depending, of course, upon what specifically is causing your pain). The greatest risk associated with excessive Acetaminophen (Tylenol) use is the possibility of liver toxicity. NSAIDs such as Advil should not be taken without first consulting a doctor if you have problems with stomach ulcers, or are on a blood thinning medication such as Warfarin or Coumadin (as NSAIDs can increase your risk of bleeding).  Another risk of overusing OTC drugs is when people inadvertently overdose by continuing with the maximum dosage of...
