If the scratch is thick enough to “catch” your fingernail, you can try sanding it out. To do this properly, though, you’ll need to have several grades of sandpaper, from 800 grit to 1500 or even 2000.  Higher numbers indicate finer sandpaper. You can find sandpaper at any store that sells hardware supplies. You can often find it in assorted packs so you don’t have to buy a separate pack for each grade. Take a piece, and fold it in thirds. This will give you a smaller surface to work with, and make it easier to hold the paper. Run some water over the sandpaper. It’s very important to wet the sandpaper--this helps it from becoming too abrasive, and also helps clear away grit and dust as you work. The buffing motion combined with the abrasiveness of the sandpaper can help remove many scratches. Work gently, however. Being too forceful can cause new scratches. Keep buffing until the scratch disappears. Use a fresh, damp cloth and wipe down the area you’ve been working on. Take a new, clean cloth and run it over everything until it's all dry. Examine the scratch area. It should look different, and the scratch may have been removed. If it’s still visible, however, you can try rubbing it again with a finer grade of sandpaper. Try 1200 grit, for instance, and follow the same procedure as before.  Make sure to wet the sandpaper each time, and to work gently.  If 1200 grit doesn’t work, move up to an even finer grade (like 1500), and so on. Once the scratch is fully removed, polishing the area will make everything look like new. Get some commercial plastic or acrylic polishing compound and place some on a clean cloth. Wipe the whole plastic area to blend everything in. Then take a clean cloth and wipe off the excess. You can find plastic polishing compound at most big-box stores, either in the auto supply or home cleaning sections.

TL;DR in English: Get several grades of sandpaper. Start by wetting some 800 grit paper. Rub the sandpaper over the scratch in a circular motion. Clean the area. Use finer grit sandpaper if necessary. Polish the area.

There are many reasons why you may wish to contact your attorney.  Understanding that reason is key to determining whether a letter is the appropriate course of action and, if so, to writing a letter that clearly communicates your message.  If you merely wish to inquire about the status of your case, a formal letter is not necessary.  Your lawyer is obligated to keep you reasonably informed about the status of your case and will likely contact you whenever there is news to report.  If you have not heard from your lawyer in a while, send him a quick email or leave him a voice mail message asking for an update. If your lawyer has requested that you write him a letter, follow his instructions his exactly.  For example, if he sends you a list of questions to answer, simply answer his questions one by one as clearly as possible.  Do not worry about formatting the letter in any special way or typing it unless your attorney requests that you do so. If your lawyer has asked that you write him a letter giving your consent to his requesting documents on your behalf, you should ask your lawyer to write the letter for you.  This kind of letter may need to meet certain criteria to be effective and your lawyer is the one who will know what the letter needs to include.  Your only role should be to revise and sign the letter once you have received a draft. If you are concerned your lawyer is not working on your case, write him a polite but firm letter explaining your concerns.  If you feel more comfortable emailing or calling him, that would be fine as well.  You are under no obligation to express your concerns in a formal letter.  If you want to fire your lawyer, send him a letter that clearly states you are terminating the relationship and that the lawyer is to cease working on any pending matters.  You should also ask that he return all of the documents regarding your case and pay you refund for any unfinished work. Once you have confirmed that writing a letter will serve your purpose, write an opening paragraph that...

TL;DR in English: Understand your purpose. Lead with the most important point. Fill in the middle with your reasons. Close with a paragraph that summarizes your main point. Use simple language. Keep it short.

Plexus Boost claims to work in part by suppressing your appetite. Ingredients including Caralluma Fimbriata, green tea, and yerba mate have all shown some results in helping slightly with weight management. However, Plexus Boost also contains high levels of chromium, which can have unpleasant side effects such as vertigo and headaches in such dosages. Look over the list of ingredients and research them on your own. Be especially wary of any ingredients to which you may be allergic. Plexus Worldwide recommends taking 1-2 capsules of Plexus Boost every day, ideally in the morning. They do not offer guidelines regarding how to determine if you should take 1 or 2 capsules.  Plexus Boost capsules are like most regular capsules and should be swallowed whole, using water to help. One bottle of Plexus Boost contains 60 capsules. This equals a 60 day supply if you take 1 capsule a day, or a 30 day supply if you take 2 capsules a day. Like most weight loss supplements, Plexus Boost works best when coupled with a healthy diet and exercise plan. Talk to your doctor or a certified dietitian about the nutritional plan that is right for you.  In general, you should aim for a diet that balances fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Aim to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, unprocessed foods, and healthy, unsaturated fats.  You should also try to get at least 30 minutes of moderately vigorous cardiovascular exercise at least 5 days a week.

Tan before 10:00 a.m. Choose a spot with the least amount of cloud coverage. Apply an outdoor tanning lotion or oil if you’re using one. Stretch out on a towel or lounge chair. Rotate your body so you tan evenly. Tan for 5-10 minutes on each side so you tan evenly. Build up your color by tanning every day for short periods of time.

In order to be hygienic at the pool, you first need to make sure the pool is hygienic. Visit your public pool to check the pool inspection results and check the pool's clarity. You can also check the chlorine levels in the pool by bringing your own test kit. You can also check all other safety measures while you are at the pool. If you go swimming when you're thirsty, you might be inclined to (even subconsciously) take a few gulps of pool water, which could contain bacteria and make you ill. There are some situations when you should stay out of the pool. If you or anyone in your family has diarrhea, stay out of the pool. This can spread diseases through germs or through fecal matter residue that may be left on the body. There is also a chance of an accident in the pool if you are suffering from diarrhea. You can also spread germs in the pool if you have an open wound. The residue from the open wound, either pus or blood, may leak into the pool from your wound. Make sure you check the members of your family for open wounds and keep them out of the pool if they have one. Wrapping the wound up will not prevent this from happening. The bandage will get wet and get into the pool, so keep your family out if they have any wound.

TL;DR in English: Check pool hygiene. Stay hydrated before you enter the pool. Stay out of the pool if you have diarrhea. Avoid the pool with an open wound.

Both Chinese and Japanese people tend to bow when greeting people for the first time. However, the Japanese are far more strict about bowing, with entire protocols based on the level of seniority and age of the person you're greeting. In China, the bow is more typically replaced with a Western-style handshake unless you're greeting an elder. Chinese people may nod their head to show respect while shaking hands. In contrast, a short nod of the head in Japan would be considered rude unless you were greeting a close friend who was the same age as you or younger. The Japanese customarily are quiet in public. On public transportation, Japanese people will frequently turn the ringers off on their phones and tend not to carry on conversations. When people do speak in public, it is in hushed tones. The Chinese, in contrast, don't have any cultural prohibition against speaking loudly or talking on the phone in public places. So if you see a group of Asian people laughing and talking loudly, they're more likely to be Chinese than Japanese. Both Chinese and Japanese culture rely extensively on nonverbal communication. Japan, in particular, places greater emphasis on strict social hierarchies. You can distinguish between Japanese and Chinese cultures by looking at how close people stand when they talk to one another and how respectful and submissive their body language is.  For example, in China, silence is often seen as agreement to do something. If the person disagrees, they will more likely talk around the negative and stress the commonalities before telling you what they'd rather do. Because the Chinese language is tonal, Chinese people cannot rely on their tone of voice to communicate their meaning. This makes gestures and body language far more important than they would be otherwise. For the Japanese, nonverbal communication is more a sign of respect and politeness. The deepness of your bow and the distance you stand from someone when talking all indicate their standing in relation to you.

TL;DR in English: Watch for a bow to accompany greetings. Listen to the volume of people's voices when they're speaking. Pay attention to gestures and nonverbal communication.

Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine, but brand names vary) is an antihistamine drug that can be purchased at most grocery stores and pharmacies. These drugs block receptors in the brain associated with nausea and vomiting. You can purchase dramamine in two tablet forms — drowsy and non-drowsy. Non-drowsy is best for amusement parks. If you are taking a train or a plane long distance and can sleep, the drowsy kind will work well.  To prevent motion sickness, the first dose should be taken 30 minutes to one hour before you go to the amusement park. Adults and children older than age 12 can usually take dimenhydrinate every four to six hours as needed to prevent or treat motion sickness. Children under 12 can usually be given dimenhydrinate every six to eight hours or as needed to prevent or treat motion sickness, but talk to your child's doctor before using medications on young children. There are a few other similar medications used for motion sickness. check with your doctor or pharmacist on which medication may be best for you. You'll need to see a doctor to get a prescription for this medication. Generally, this medication is saved for those who aren't helped by dramamine. Most of the time, scopolamine is administered in a patch form.  Talk to your doctor about potential side effects of this medication, which can include drowsiness, disorientation, dry mouth, or hallucinations.  People with glaucoma or certain other medical problems may not be able to use scopolamine, so make sure to tell your doctor about any medical problems you have. The patch should be applied as directed on the package. Normally, it should be placed on the back of the ear, at least four hours prior to when it is actually needed. Wash behind your ear before applying. Remove the patch from the protective packaging. Place on the skin. Wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Leave on for as long as you need it or as long as the package prescribes. Ginger (zingiber officinale) is cheap and effective. You can consume ginger raw or in lozenge/pill form....

TL;DR in English: Get some over-the-counter dramamine. Acquire a scopolamine patch. Apply a scopolamine patch. Try some ginger supplements.

or after 4:00 p.m. to avoid a sunburn. The sun is the most powerful from mid-morning to late afternoon. While this might sound like the perfect time to tan, it’s too risky because your skin may burn. Instead, sun yourself in the early morning or late afternoon for the perfect tan. For instance, plan to go out at 9:00 a.m. or 4:00 p.m. About 90% of the sun’s rays penetrate the clouds, so you should have no problem tanning. However, you’ll get more rays if you pick a spot with minimal cloud coverage. Look for the brightest area you can find. Additionally, stay away from shadows cast by trees, buildings, and fences. Check the sky to see if any sunlight is penetrating the clouds. Additionally, look for shadows on the ground. If you see a shadow, move to another spot. Tanning lotions help promote a bronzed look and may help you tan faster. It’ll also keep your skin moisturized. Look for a lotion that’s labeled for use on your skin tone. Then, massage the tanning lotion into your skin before you tan.  Lotion and oil work the same. However, you might prefer an oil if your skin tends to be dry because it's more moisturizing. Read and follow the directions on the label so you know you’re using your product correctly. Some tanning lotions have a low SPF, such as an SPF 8, that can help protect your skin as it tans. These are a great option because they’ll help you get the darker look you want with less skin damage. Using an indoor tanning lotion outdoors may increase your risk of skin cancer because these lotions are designed to enhance UV rays. Keep in mind that there are more UV rays outdoors than in a tanning bed even on a cloudy day. Additionally, don't use baby oil because it can tan your skin too quickly and cause damage. You can start on your stomach or your back, depending on your preference. Elongate your body so that you’re less likely to have uneven patches. Additionally, spread out your arms and legs so they get maximum sun exposure. If you’re bent at an angle or your arms are flat against your body, you’ll...

During a water birth, a baby is delivered in a birthing pool filled with lukewarm water. Deciding on a birth plan is a highly personal choice. There are a variety of reasons women choose water births over conventional methods. Know the rationale behind water births before deciding to undergo the procedure yourself.  A baby spends nine months floating in an amniotic sac filled with fluids. Many women and doctors believe the transition from womb to world is easier on a child if they're submerged in water before being exposed to the open air. However, there is no research to support this and this is only opinion. For many women, water births can be less painful. Women who spend time in water during labor request pain-relieving drugs roughly half as much as women who use conventional methods.  Tearing of the perineum, the area between the vagina and anus, is common during birth. Warm water can soften these tissues, making them more malleable as the baby passes through. Tearing and damage may be less likely during water births.  For many women, warm water can feel soothing and reduce stress during labor. Warm water has also been known to stimulate the body's release of endorphins, a feel-good hormone.  Your weight is supported by water, making it easier to sit upright during delivery. This allows your pelvis to open to pass the baby during birth. A water birth can be performed in a hospital setting or at home. Depending on your preference, there are special considerations for each method.  If you decide to give birth in a hospital, you need to make sure the hospital is able and willing to accommodate a water birth. Many hospitals either have policies prohibiting water births or do not have the proper resources for water births. If you want to go the hospital route, you should make sure a water birth is allowed in your chosen hospital and with your OB/GYN or midwife. You may have to switch hospitals or doctors if you're set on a water birth and your doctor cannot provide one. The majority of water births are done...

TL;DR in English: Know why some women choose water births. Decide if you will give birth in a hospital or at home. Be aware of the risk factors.

Your relationship with your mom may not feel very nurturing, so it's important to get social support from others. This may come from your dad, grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, or other mentors in your community. If you need to talk, reach out to these people to vent about your mom or get practical advice for dealing with her passive-aggressive behavior. Become more aware of your own anger that stems from your mother's behavior. Start a daily journal practice of writing down what you're feeling. Periodically re-read your entries to look for recurring patterns and brainstorm solutions.  For instance, brainstorming solutions might include noticing that you and your mom usually bump heads whenever you're feeling tired. To fix the problem, keep those interactions short and sweet. Excuse yourself and go to your room rather than trying to reason with her when you're already exhausted. Put your journal in a safe place where your mother can't find it and read it. Some good places might be under your mattress, behind other books in a bookcase, or in your closet. Take good care of yourself by doing activities that promote wellness, like eating well and exercising.  Also, try  mindfulness meditation to learn how to sit with your anger or frustration and keep stress at bay with yoga or  deep breathing. You might also do special activities just for you, such as coloring, listening to your favorite music, or cuddling with a special someone. Work through your thoughts and feelings with a professional. A counselor can help you heal from emotional neglect and even teach useful skills like assertiveness training, so you can better interact with your mother. If you think she's up for it, you might invite your mom to a counseling session at some point, too.

TL;DR in English: Get support from your social circle. Develop a journaling habit to release your frustration. Perform  self-care regularly. See a  counselor.

Euphemisms are relatively harmless words or phrases that are used in place of more offensive ones. Using a euphemism instead of a swear word is a quick an easy way to clean up your vocabulary. Many existing swear words also have common euphemisms. For instance, try saying:  “Funk!” instead of “f***!” “Darn!” instead of “damn!” “What the eff?”, "What the heck?", or "What the barnacles?" instead of “What the f***?”. Also "What the hell?" (acceptable with limitations). “SOB” instead of “Son of a b****” “BS” instead of “bull s***!” “Screwed up," "stinks," or "sucks" instead of “f***ed up” “Goofball” instead of “dumba**” "Rats!" instead of "crap!" or "s***!" Since these words are newly invented, they won’t offend some people like swear words will. Use your imagination to invent replacement words and phrases like:  "Boccalocca" "Egumwalasha!" “Dinglebuff” “I literally buhdangled my pants” “He was so glogged up” “I got my weewuu beat at bowling last night” “I can’t find my nogwrangling keys!” Some words that were once used as offensive swear words have either become more acceptable, or have generally been forgotten. You can have fun researching some of these words and phrases, and practice using them to replace contemporary swear words. Some examples include:  “Consarn it!” instead of “damn it!” “Zooterkins” (a seventeenth-century term for “God’s wounds!” or “Zounds”!) “Sard” (an Old English term for f***) “Waesucks” (means “woe’s sakes,” but can be used in place of "s***!") “Gadzbudlikins!” (unknown derivation) “Fopdoodle” for “dumba**” Science fiction books, films, and television shows often invent alternative languages, including swear words. You can use some of these as less offensive replacements for swear words. For instance:  “Ying-takh!” or “puh-takh,” from Klingon, to replace the “S” or “F” words. “Frack” or “frak” from Battlestar Galactica, to replace the “F” word “Goram,” from the Firefly series, to replace “G** d***!” You can use swear words from foreign languages as replacements. Since others around you...

TL;DR in English: Use euphemisms. Invent new, inoffensive expletives You can invent nonsense words to use instead of swear words. Use outdated swear terms. Borrow fictional swear words. Swear in a foreign language. Bleep yourself. Speak eloquently.

Turn it so that it is horizontal in front of you. Use a ruler if you like neat, precise lines. Make each square large enough to record your assignments. If you are using a smaller notebook, you may only be able to comfortably fit one row. That’s perfectly fine. It’s better to have only one week on the page than to make the boxes so small that you can’t fit all the information you need. Start with “Monday” above the first column, “Tuesday” above the second, and so on through Friday. The sixth and final column is for the weekend, so you can write either “Weekend” or “Saturday/Sunday.” For example, Monday, February 3rd to Sunday, February 16th. Rotate it so that it is vertical again. ” If you have enough space on your calendar, you could also just write your extracurricular activities there. However, you may find that your assignments fill the available space.

Cut off the peeling faux leather with a razor blade. Apply leather soft filler to the peeled area with a putty knife. Push the soft filler off of the furniture seams and smooth the surface. Let the soft filler cure for 20 minutes. Apply a second layer of soft filler to the patch you’re repairing. Add texture to the repair job by pressing plastic wrap against it. Apply leather paint to the repaired patch with a damp sponge.

Grab a notebook and a pen that you will carry with you for a few days. Write down any activities you engage in, including work, errands, taking care of yourself, and having fun. Include how often you usually do these actions (daily, weekly, monthly).  This may include things like:  Commuting. Working. Sleeping. Cleaning your house. Grooming. Shopping for groceries. If there are other things that you’d like to do, but never seem to get around to, include these on your list. As you organize your day, you will figure out how to include these new activities into your routine. These might be things like:  Working out. Prepping healthy meals. Playing guitar. Hanging out with friends. Once you have a list of your activities (including aspirational ones), and how often you complete each task, you must reflect on how long each activity takes. Try your best to be realistic.  Include the time it takes to get to where you need to be. Include the time it takes for you to get ready for each activity. Include the time it takes for you to wrap up. If you’ll be working out, for instance, you may need to shower and change when you’re done. There is only so much time in every day. This means you must pick and choose which activities are most useful to you. This life change is two-fold: it will involve breaking some time-wasting habits, and learning to say "no."  Common time-wasting habits include social media, checking email too often, watching television, and gossiping. When you engage in these types of activities, consider setting a timer for yourself. When the time is up, you must get back to work. If your boss, friends, spouse, and family are all asking things of you, it can be hard to keep up! Whenever you are asked to complete a project or do a favor, stop to consider whether or not you truly have the time to do the task well. Sometimes, you will need to say, "I just don't have time for that today."

TL;DR in English: Write down what you do. Include any aspirations. Determine how long each activity takes. Cut unnecessary activities.

You will need to use 2 oz (60 ml) of Seafoam for every 1 gallon (4 L) of petroleum oil.  You'll be adding the Seafoam directly to the oil in your vehicle. Since Seafoam is made of petroleum, it is safe to mix into the oil and should not cause any damage to the vehicle. When used in this manner, Seafoam will re-liquify old fuel and deposits, clearing out the carburetor bowl and jets in the process. Switch off the engine, if it is presently running, and allow the engine to completely cool down before continuing. Adding room temperature Seafoam to burning hot oil can shock the carburetor valve springs and damage your vehicle. Remove the cap from the engine oil spout and pour the calculated amount of Seafoam directly into the carburetor throat. Consider using a funnel to pour in the Seafoam. Doing so is not strictly necessary, but funnels can help reduce the threat of accidental spills. Cap the carburetor throat, close the hood of the car, and drive the vehicle as usual for as many as 250 miles (402 km).  You should get the oil changed once you have driven a distance between 100 and 250 miles (160 and 402 km). Seafoam is a potent additive, so the oil filter can struggle and the quality of the oil can degrade after this distance. After driving the car and changing the oil, the process is complete.

TL;DR in English: Calculate the correct amount of Seafoam. Keep the engine cold. Pour Seafoam into the carburetor throat. Drive the vehicle as many as 250 miles (402 km).

Blue undertones fall under a cool color palette, while yellow tooth stains classify as warm colors. By placing blue undertones around your face, on on your lips in particular, you can offset any stains on your teeth and instantaneously make your teeth look whiter.  When choosing lipstick, go for a red lipstick with blue undertones. Think cherry red, wine, and berry shades. Avoid matte lipsticks and go for glossy products. Matte lipsticks can actually make your teeth look dingy by making your mouth look dry, but glosses and glossy lipsticks make your lips look moist, which also promotes the illusion of shiny teeth. Be aware that the accessories you wear by your face can also make a difference. Opt for silver-toned jewelry over gold, and look for cool-toned gems and beads instead of warm-toned ones. . Bronzer makes your face look darker, thereby accentuating the contrast between your skin tone and your teeth. As a result, your teeth will appear whiter than they might when your face is bare or dusted in blush.  For bronzer, a matte finish is the way to go. Matte bronzer makes your skin appear healthy and firm without giving it an oily look. Moreover, matte bronzer creates a contrast with glossy lips, accentuating your sparkling teeth. Apply the bronzer in the shape of the number "3." Brush it over your temples, the hollow of your cheeks, and over your chin. Shiny jewelry, especially silver-colored, accentuates the white shades in your teeth while covering up the yellow ones. This can mask any stains or imperfections in your teeth.  Focus on placing these accessories around your face, like with earrings and necklaces. Avoid gold-colored jewelry, however — this will accentuate yellow sections of your teeth. Wearing white will accentuate the darker sections of your teeth. Instead, wear a darker or cream-colored shirt. This will accentuate the white sections of your teeth and help cover up any imperfections.

TL;DR in English: Make your teeth look whiter with blue undertones. Wear bronzer Wear shiny jewelry. Wear an off-white shirt.

Before repairing the faux leather, you’ll first need to remove all of the flaking pieces. Use your fingers and a razor blade to peel, scrape, and cut away the peeling sections of faux leather from your chair or sofa. Don’t slice off more faux leather than necessary, though. Only remove what’s already loose and flaking.  You can purchase 5-packs of razor blades at most hardware stores. Exercise caution when using a razor blade and never cut towards yourself. Scoop out a 1 inch (2.5 cm) dollop of soft filler with a putty knife. Still using the knife, smear the filler across the peeled section of the leather furniture. Smooth out the filler so that it’s a uniform thickness across the peeled section. Try not to get filler on the unpeeled sections of the faux leather. Soft filler will bond with the base fabric of the faux leather and create a new vinyl-like surface. You can purchase it at any leather store and at many craft supply stores. If you happened to apply any filler to the furniture’s seams, you can use a stiff piece of paper to rub if off. Use the edge of an index or business card to push filler out of the seam. Then, run the long edge of the card over the top of the fabric you’re repairing to smooth out the layer of filler. Clearing the seams and feathering the edges of the soft filler will give the repair job a more professional look. The filler will cure relatively quickly. It’s important that you don’t touch the filler while it’s curing. If you have small children or pets in your home, keep them out of the room with the curing filler. If you’re repairing a small chair, you could move the chair outdoors and let it sit in the sun if the weather is pleasant. This will speed up the curing process. Once the first layer has dried, use your putty knife to apply a second thick layer of filler to the leather. As before, avoid spreading the filler onto undamaged parts of the faux leather. Tear off a 12 in (30 cm) piece of plastic wrap and warp it around your hand. Press your plastic-covered palm against the...

Part of what makes Taboo enjoyable is the manic quality of clue giving, so don't be afraid to say as much information as quickly as you can. The one point of being careful is to still avoid saying any of the taboo words.  Read the guess-word and all of the taboo words before you begin to give any clues. You want to remember what words you can't say. If you realize partway into giving your clues that you said something early on that was a bad clue and that actually confused your teammates, you can tell them to disregard that clue. If you can get people thinking about words that are similar to the word you're describing, you can get them on the right track. Remember, you can't say “sounds like” or “rhymes with,” so don't try to use these in your clues.  For example, if the guess-word is poster, you might be able to described it as a wall hanging, or a picture. If the guess-word was angry, you could say, “It is not happy or pleased.” Many words that you'll get could have more than one meaning, and it doesn't matter which meaning you describe. So using the various meanings of words will help people make the connection about what those meanings have in common.  If you have a word like bank, you can get people there by describing the place you deposit money or the edge of a river. If the word is chicken, you could describe it as a farm animal and also what you call someone who is acting afraid. You could describe when two cars are racing toward each other until one of them veers out of the way. Sometimes you'll get a word that your team gets stumped on. Even though you lose a point for passing, if you move on to other words that are easier, then you can get more points for your team. Losing one point is worth gaining three if you can.  It's quite common for someone to win 6 points in a 1-minute round, so don't spend more than about 15 seconds on a given word. It's likely that the point you'll earn won't be worth it You still want to do this with discretion because if you pass on too many, then you'll just end up...

TL;DR in English: Give clues quickly but carefully. Use synonyms and antonyms. Describe multiple meanings that a word could have. Pass on words that take too long.

Retrofitting an existing room in your home or business is the cheapest and simplest way to protect your loved ones from storms or intruders. While building or installing a prefabricated safe room can cost between $2500-$6000, you can retrofit an existing room for a thousand or less. Choose a room that is in the interior of the house with no windows or skylight, and no walls shared with the outdoors A large walk-in closet works well. A safe room needs a door that can withstand high winds or being kicked in by an intruder, and should ideally open inwards rather than outwards in case debris is stacked outside the room during a storm.  Remove the existing door and doorjamb. Replace the doorjamb with a steel one, and reinforce the surrounding wood with steel angle iron (which will prevent the door from being kicked or blown in).  Replace the door with a heavy, solid wood door (such as one sold as an exterior front door for a home) or with a heavy steel door.  Mount it so that it opens inwards rather than out. You can choose if you want to use a traditional deadbolt or a keyless deadbolt. The keyless deadbolt has the advantage that you don't have to find the key in case of an emergency, but can be dangerous if you have small children in your household who may lock themselves inside.  Before installing the new locks and doorknob, reinforce the wood around them by installing steel or brass strike plates, which you can purchase at most hardware stores.  Install the locks so that the door locks from the inside.

Watching golf is a great way to get better. As you are watching, evaluate what the professional golfers are doing and take notes. Watch how professional players assess each shot before they take it and note the decisions that were made. Look at how each player swings the driver, the wedges, and the putter.  Imagine yourself taking the same shot the players on television are taking. Where would you aim for the shot? Compare the choice you made to what the professional player has done. Try to imitate some of the shots you see at your next practice session. Good golf players typically have a pre-shot routine (i.e. what they do before they take every single shot). Use the examples of pre-shot routines to help you develop your own routine. Begin to incorporate your routine into your practice sessions. A pre-shot routine may consist of checking the lie of the ball, checking the distance to your target, checking the direction of the wind, selecting a shot, choosing a club, visualizing the shot, and taking a few practice swings. Visualizing your shots allows you to practice golf from any location.  Devote five minutes a day to visualization practice.  Focus on the things that you have done well on the golf course.  Did you sink a putt? Did you hit a nice long drive?  It is important that you make visualization a regular activity. The more consistently you do it, the more beneficial it will be. Avoid replaying your mistakes when you visualize. Increasing the strength of your muscles and bones without bulking up too much will help your golf game. Your strength training program should be focused on lifting heavier weights with fewer repetitions.  Choose a weight that you can lift about six or seven times before your body becomes really tired.  Try exercises that mimic natural movements and engage multiple muscle groups such as squats and dead lifts. Aim for four sets, of one to six repetitions.  Rest three minutes between each set.

TL;DR in English: Watch golf on television. Practice visualization. Do full body strength training.

Maybe you feel uncomfortable talking out loud to God, find it difficult to concentrate when talking to God in your mind, or maybe neither of the two work for you at all. If that’s the case, try writing to God. This form of communicating will still enable you to express your thoughts for a connection and create your side of a conversation with God. Choose something that will feel comfortable to write in every day.  A spiral notebook or journal would be an ideal choice since it will easily lay flat on a desk.  Select your preferred writing tool. You’ll want to write to God by hand instead of typing on a computer.  Computers have endless distractions, and for some the act of typing requires more conscious effort than scribbling in a notebook. Even though you won’t be speaking aloud, it’s still best to find a quiet spot for maximum concentration. Before you get started set a timer for a length of time that feels comfortable to write for.  You may set it for five, ten or twenty minutes.  Keep your pen or pencil moving until the timer goes off. Try not to be self-conscious about what you write.  Don’t worry about grammar and punctuation, or about what you’re actually writing.  In writing to God, you want your words to come from the heart.  In order to do that you’ll need to relax enough that you can write freely about whatever comes to mind. If you’re not sure what to write about, consider writing about a current concern that you can’t stop thinking about.  Write about what’s happening in your day to day life.  Write down any questions you want God to answer for you.  Or write about your goals or what you’re thankful for.  Use the examples below for inspiration.  “Dear God, I have no idea what I’m doing in my life right now.  I can’t seem to make good choices or meet the right people.  I feel like I’m drowning in drama.  When will this end?  When will things change for me?” “I can’t even contain my excitement right now, God.  Today I met a woman who works at my dream job.  Our meeting was completely serendipitous. ...

TL;DR in English: Write to God as a form of communication. Purchase or find a blank writing notebook and pen. Find a quiet and private space to write. Write for a specific amount of time. Write fast and freely. Write to God as if you’re writing a letter to a friend, or as if you’re writing in a private journal.

When you’ve found a pawn shop with the right terms for your needs, don’t be afraid to negotiate for the best deal. The pawn shop staff can always decline your offer or offer a counter, so you have nothing to lose by trying.  When you negotiate, allow the shop to make the first offer. You can negotiate the value of the jewelry, the interest rate of the loan, and the time it will take you to pay it back.  Be prepared to walk away if the shop staff isn't willing to give you the terms that you want. Don’t trust a pawn shop that doesn’t offer some sort of contract or agreement that documents the loan. Make sure the terms of the loan, the interest rate, and the timing of loan payback are clearly outlined. Be sure there is also a description of the jewelry included. Take photos of your jewelry laying next to the contract at the pawn shop in case there are any future disputes about the terms or the jewelry pawned. It’s really important to pay back the loan on time so that you can recover your jewelry safely. Pawn shops can’t resell everything that gets pawned so they will often melt down jewelry into pure metals and sell it at a market price. They can do this as soon as the jewelry is officially theirs. Therefore, your best chance of recovering your jewelry is by repaying the loan by the date and time listed on the contract.

TL;DR in English: Negotiate at the pawn shop. Sign a contract. Pay back the loan on time.

A bucket list has become a popular way to put on paper all the exciting, challenging, or fun things that you hope to do before you die (or "kick the bucket," hence the name). Creating such a list, and then actually doing the things on your list, can add variety to your life.  Your list should contain at least a hundred things, so get to writing! Also don't be afraid to add new things to the bottom of the list as you think of them over the next few weeks, months, and years. Be sure to list both big and small things-- not just expensive or dangerous things like visiting Russia or skydiving, but also those littler things you always wanted to try but just haven't yet-- like trying that little restaurant downtown, singing in the rain, or getting a facial or pedicure. Remember to set some goals that will be hard, and others that are easily attainable; otherwise you might get discouraged. Be sure your list includes things that are free or cheap as well as things that cost money. If you're at a loss, search the internet for ideas-- there are thousands of things you could include! Include places to visit, things to see, experiences to have, achievements you like to make, people you'd like to meet, things you'd like to experience with a friend or loved one, skills you'd like to learn, goals you'd like to meet (such as health, financial, or personal), things you'd like to say (perhaps to specific people) and people you'd like to thank. First create categories that make sense for the things on your list, then put everything on the list into a group.  Make categories for expensive things, relatively affordable things, affordable things, and cheap or free things (depending on your budget, these will vary; but one idea is a column for things that are $1000 or more, things that are $500-$1000, things that are $100-$500, and things that are less than $100). Make categories for things that can be done spontaneously (like trying a new restaurant in town) versus things that require advance planning (like a trip to Greece). If...

TL;DR in English: Make a bucket list. Categorize the list. Try to do one thing on your list every month.

Components like lights, windshield wipers, radios, etc. draw power from the battery to run.  If you want your battery to charge effectively, they will need to be turned off. . In order to jumpstart your vehicle you will need another vehicle that has a good battery to give you a boost. Usually parking the cars facing each other will get the batteries closes, but sometimes it's better to park them side by side.  Either way, be sure that the cars are not touching. You will need these to connect the dead battery to the good battery. Current will flow between them, allowing your engine to start and charge your dead battery.  If you have a choice, longer cables can be easier to connect but transfer energy less effectively than short cables.  Also, a lower gauge cable (thicker) will transfer energy faster. The batteries will be located in a different place depending on the make and model of the vehicles. Most batteries will be found either under the hood and or in the trunk of your vehicle.  Sometimes the battery is not easily accessible.  If this is the case you most likely have a charging post under the hood that is connected to the battery.

It's better to layer short hair when it's evenly damp, so that you can cut the hair with greater precision. Wash and condition your hair as usual, then towel it dry in preparation for the haircut.  Layering short hair is more difficult to do by yourself than layering long hair, since you're creating each layer individually. Keep in mind that this method will only work for pixie style cuts. Take a look at your hair and decide exactly where you want the layers to be and how short you want them before you begin. Plan to cut your hair in a well-lit bathroom with at least two mirrors, so you can check your progress often and see the back of your head as well. Short hair must be divided into sections before layering. Use a comb to carefully divide your hair in the following way:  Make a "top box" section by creating a part on either side of the crown of the head where the head begins to round. The two parts create a section of hair in the middle of the head. Comb this "top box" forward and comb the hair to either side straight down, so that the sections are clearly delineated. It may also help to twist your hair before clipping it. Divide the rest into two parts: the first part extends from the crown of your head to your forehead, and the second part extends from the crown of your head to the nape of your neck. Lift the hair at a ninety-degree angle from your head and hold it straight between your forefinger and middle finger. Your fingers should be perpendicular to your forehead. Use a sharp scissors to trim the tips of the hair extending from between your fingers. Let the hair fall, then use the comb to lift another section of hair in the section of hair that is immediately behind the front section. Then comb a bit of the hair from the first section into this new section. This will serve as a guide for the correct length. Hold it at a 90-degree angle from your head between your forefinger and middle finger, then trim the tips to the exact same length as the first section of hair you trimmed.  Continue trimming...

TL;DR in English: Get your hair ready for layering. Comb your hair into sections. Use a comb to lift the frontmost section of the top box. Trim the top box. Part your hair down the middle. Trim the sides of your hair. Examine your layers.

Some homes will have multiple breaker boxes in different places. Find both the main circuit breaker box and the one you need to replace a circuit breaker in. If you’re unsure about the circuit breaker boxes in your home, call an electrician. Before you begin working on any breaker boxes, you should make sure they are still in a safe condition. Any damage or contamination to the box may make it unsafe to work on.  Look for any signs of rust, discoloration, charring or moisture when you first examine the circuit breaker box and throughout the process. If you see anything that seems dangerous or unexpected, call an electrician. Beware of certain types of panels, specifically those bearing one of the following names: Federal Pacific Electric, Federal Pioneer, Zinsco, Kearney, GTE Sylvania, or Stab-lok. The safety of these panels is highly debated. Research the issue and contact an experienced electrician for advice. Decide what to do based on the information you find. Electricity can be incredibly dangerous to work around, so take all precautions when trying to reduce the chance of an electrical shock. Use rubber insulated tools, and wear rubber-soled shoes and insulated gloves when working with electricity. If you don’t have rubber-soled shoes or if you want to take further precautions, put down a rubber mat below the circuit breaker box. If the area around the breaker box is damp or otherwise unsafe, call an electrician. You should only replace a circuit breaker that has broken or been damaged in some way. If a circuit breaker is damaged, it will likely have tripped, cutting power to the section of the home it controls. Look through your breaker box for the circuit breaker which stands out from the others. Generally, a tripped circuit breaker switch will be halfway between the on and off positions. Before you replace a circuit breaker, make sure the breaker itself is faulty and not just overloaded. Unplug and switch off all light and electrical devices in the section of your home controlled by the circuit...

TL;DR in English: Find the circuit breaker box. Inspect the exterior of the breaker panel for damage or discoloration. Use rubber-insulated tools, gloves, and shoes. Locate the defective breaker. Test the faulty breaker. Test the voltage of the circuit breaker.

Annuals typically thrive in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.3 and 6.7. Add 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15.2 cm) of peat moss, compost or manure to the garden soil to build up organic matter and create a healthy environment for the seeds to grow. Consider adding a seed-starting mix to the soil. Seed-starting mixes can be found at most garden centers. These nutrient-rich mixes can encourage seed growth. Consult the seed packet to determine how much light the annual plant will need. Many annuals need full sun, which is considered 6 or more hours of sunlight each day. Others, such as begonias or impatiens, thrive in the shade. Choose a location best suited for the sunlight requirements of your annual seeds. Consult the seed packet to determine the recommended depth and spacing for planting your annual seeds. In general, plant an annual seed at a depth that is 2 or 3 times the seed's diameter.  Plant small seeds near the top of the soil. To plant very small seeds, pour the seeds into the palm of your hand, take a pinch of the seeds with the thumb and forefinger of your opposite hand, and sprinkle the seeds over the soil. Using your hand, tap the seeds lightly into the soil so they are lightly covered with soil. Plant larger seeds further into the soil. Use a screwdriver or pencil to poke a hole into the soil at the depth recommended on the seed packet. Place the seed into the hole and fill the hole with soil. Tap the soil lightly with your hand. Keep the water around the seed moist, but don't over-water or create puddles of standing water around the seeds. Fertilize the seeds immediately after planting. In most cases, annuals planted in the ground will not need additional fertilizer after the initial application. As seedlings begin to emerge, thin the plants so they are not growing right on top of each other. Consult the seed packet to determine the ideal spacing between mature plants.

TL;DR in English:


Buy a case and screen protector. Designate a safe place to keep and store your phone when not in use. Keep your phone dry. Clean your phone regularly. Recharge your cell phone on a regular schedule. Turn off the ringer on your phone when you're in a class, a lecture, a meeting, etc.

If you have access to an adult Angel Trumpet plant, harvest 1 of its seed pods after the pod turns brown or yellow. Then, carefully peel off the pod’s skin using your fingers, exposing lots of small seeds. If you don’t have access to an adult plant, purchase a pack of Angel Trumpet seeds from a gardening supply store. When you’re ready to plant your seeds, fill a small bowl with warm water and place the seeds inside. Let the seeds soak for about 24 hours, then dry them off with a clean towel. Soaking your seeds will remove the thin layer of pulp surrounding them. If you leave this layer on, they may not germinate properly. Grab a small paper towel sheet and dampen it with warm water. Then, spread your seeds out evenly on the paper towel and fold the sheet up into a tight package. Try to use sheets that are about 4 in (10 cm) long. If you have a lot of seeds, you may need to use multiple sheets. Grab your moistened paper towel package and slip it into a resealable plastic bag. Then, seal the bag. You do not need to press out any excess air before closing the bag. If you have multiple paper towel packages, make sure you use a different plastic bag for each of them. To make sure your seeds germinate properly, place them in an area that has a constant temperature between 60 and 70 °F (16 and 21 °C). Remove your seeds from the bag once they develop small, white stem strands, an indication that they’ve successfully germinated.  In most cases, your seeds should take between 3 and 4 weeks to fully germinate. You can remove your seeds as soon as you see their stem strands. You don’t have to wait for them to grow to a specific length. When left unchecked, your germinating seeds can develop mold or become fungal. To prevent this, replace the damp paper towel once every other day.

TL;DR in English: Acquire Angel Trumpet seeds. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours. Wrap the seeds in a moist paper towel. Seal the seeds in a plastic bag. Store your seeds in a warm place until they germinate. Replace the paper towel every other day.

A lot of dates are arranged via text, DM, social media, and in other similar ways. When deciding how to ask a girl out, pick whichever method feels most natural to your normal way of communicating. Keep in mind that you’ll want to be really clear via text so that your intentions aren’t misunderstood. Rather than being vague and asking her to just “hang out” or what she’s up to that weekend, pick something fun that you think you’d both enjoy. This gives her something to respond to, and you won’t be left wondering what to do if she says yes. Here are some great first date ideas:  Go to an arcade or to play mini-golf Go to a coffee shop and a used bookstore Plan a movie marathon Go to an admission-free art exhibit or festival Volunteer at the local animal shelter to walk and play with the animals Make homemade pizza and do a puzzle together Send her a message that says something simple like, “Hey Kate, I think you’re really cute. Want to go play arcade games and get something to eat this Friday?” Telling her you think she’s attractive clues her in that this is a romantic message and not just a friendly one.  Remember to ask about a specific activity. For example, “Would you like to go out on a date with me next Saturday? I thought we could get dinner and go see a movie,” sounds much more romantic than, “Want to hang out sometime next weekend?” The latter could be misinterpreted. Text isn’t the only option—you could use DMs in different social media apps or send a cool video through Instagram or Snapchat. If you get rejected, don’t wait too long to reply. You could say something like, “That’s okay! I just wanted to ask. I still think you’re cool and will see you in class.” It’s not fun to get rejected, but it is a normal experience and doesn’t mean anything bad about you as a person. It’s just not the right fit right now. If you do get rejected, reassure yourself that at least now you know. You won’t be left wondering what could have happened, and you have more practice under your belt for the next time you...

TL;DR in English: Use text or social media if that’s how you normally communicate. Pick an activity to ask her to do before you send your message. Keep the text short, sweet, and specific. Accept her answer and respond quickly even if she turns you down. Make plans for your first date if she says yes.

Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed, such as your bedroom. Turn off any electronic devices that may distract you, such as the television, phone, or computer. Turning off the lights and shutting your blinds will also help. Candles are a great way to focus your attention during meditation. If you have created an angel altar, then you can light the candle on your altar. If you do not have an angel altar, then you can just light a candle and place it on a table in front of you.  If you do not want to light a candle, then you can also use a rosary to help focus your attention or listen to some repetitive nature sounds, such as ocean waves or rain sounds. Meditation requires you to be still for a long time, so make sure that you are comfortable. For example, you may want to sit on a cushion. You can even lie down to meditate, as long as you're sure you won't fall asleep. Close your eyes or watch your candle. Try not to think of anything, not even your guardian angel for a few minutes. Focus on keeping your breath steady and slow. If you notice that you have started thinking about something, then take a moment to acknowledge the thought and then refocus on your breathing. In your mind, say "hello" to your angel. Thank your angel for watching over you. Then, let your angel know about any problems that are bothering you and ask your angel for guidance. If you have learned or prepared a prayer, then take a moment to recite the prayer. You can do this in your head or say the prayer out loud. Any sign that your angel is there will most likely be subtle. For example, you may hear a faint noise, see a fleeting image in your mind's eye, notice a sensation of warmth, or get the feeling that someone is in the empty room with you. Some people believe that angels cannot interfere in our lives without being directly asked to. If you're not sure your angel is there, try asking your angel to let you know someone is there. When you have finished speaking with your angel, say goodbye. You may want to end your meditation...

TL;DR in English: Prepare your space. Light a candle. Sit in a position that is comfortable. Breathe deeply and clear your mind. Greet your angel. Listen for your angel's reply. Emerge from your meditation slowly. Practice your meditation.

These will take care of your phone by preventing it from being subject to knocks and scratches. This helps to keep the phone's appearance longer and may also protect it from some internal damage should you accidentally knock or drop the phone. It should be somewhere that is out of the way and where the phone is not likely to be knocked onto the floor or trodden on. For example, good places include keeping it on a desk, bookshelf, or in a cabinet. It's a good idea to choose one spot where it always goes (near a recharger) so that you can find it with ease, any time.  Do not keep your phone stored in a purse or other closed container for extended periods of time unless it is powered off. Charging a mobile phone in a closed container is a potential fire hazard and may shorten its lifespan. Li-ion batteries (typical for most phones) give off heat when charged and when discharging. Always use genuine chargers and accessories. Cheaper ones that are not compatible or made for going with your brand of phone can harm the phone or lessen its lifespan. Don't talk on your cell phone while it's raining, do not eat or drink near the phone, and avoid carrying it near open water (such as a pond, the beach, or toilets). If you do get your phone wet, see How to save a wet cell phone. Use dry tissue paper or alcohol wipes to clean the phone's exterior surfaces. Do not use water, baby wipes, or other cleaners that may inadvertently add moisture to your phone. Some phones will last more than a week or more on a single charge (when not in use), while others may need to be charged every day or every other day. If you spend too much time talking on your phone, you can quickly use up your battery's charge. Keep your battery percentage between 40%-80% for longer battery life. Even in relatively everyday activities such as watching a movie in a movie theater, or attending church, it is polite to keep your ringer on vibrate or turned off. The last thing you want to do is frantically try to turn off your ringer in these scenarios. Doing...

There is a clear difference between being aggressive in a negative and being assertive. Often, people who are aggressive end up being bullies. Being a bully means you act self-righteous or superior and have no regard for the needs, feelings, and opinions of others. Bullying others will only lead to conflict and negativity in your life, not respect. You should try to keep your aggression in check so it does not turn into bullying. Though you may feel a momentary sense of power as a bully, it will ultimately only lead to resentment and anger from others. This resentment could then cause people to avoid you or oppose you. You can also channel aggression into developing healthy habits like positive communication, becoming assertive instead. Positive communication means you practice active listening and always consider the thoughts and opinions of others. You should also try to take your ego out of any discussion or conversation and focus instead on how you can support those around you. Practicing active listening means not interrupting others when they are speaking and maintaining eye contact with the speaker. Once the speaker is done, you should repeat back what she said in your own words to show you were listening and paying attention. Then, you can respond to the speaker in a positive and open way. Displaying empathy for others means putting your ego aside and focusing on how others are feeling or what they are experiencing. Doing this will show that you can be assertive and strong willed without walking on the needs of others. Showing empathy for others is often a sign of confidence and maturity. For example, you may have an employee who is struggling with an illness in the family. You may then show empathy for the employee by approving his request for time off and checking in with the employee on a consistent basis to make sure he has everything he needs. Showing the employee compassion and empathy will show that you can be a considerate boss. Another way you can channel aggression into something productive...

TL;DR in English: Do not bully others. Use positive communication. Display empathy for others. Mediate conflicts.

While any type of rice will work, the most frequently used are white rice or long-grain brown rice. Whatever you have in the house is fine! Measure out ½ cup of rice and rinse it to remove any dust or impurities. Set the bowl aside on the counter and wait! Let your rice soak until the water takes on a milky, semi-opaque appearance. That milky appearance indicates that some of the rice's inositol has been released into the water. Inositol is a carbohydrate that gives rice water its milky appearance. When used on your hair, some research suggests that inositol helps protect your locks and add shine. Use a spoon or fork to break up any clumps of rice. Once the water has a cloudy or milky look to it, it should be good to go. Double check to make sure that the water does not have any lingering rice in it. Another way to do this is to boil the rice/water mixture. Just follow the same steps as soaking, but use slightly more water and strain out the rice once the water starts to boil. Allow it to cool to room temperature before using. It is now ready to use!

TL;DR in English:


Block out light. Dampen sounds. Exercise early. Limit caffeine and alcohol. Eat an early and light evening meal. Avoid napping.

Spend a good amount of time nailing down what your game is before you touch a line of code. What genre is it? Is it 2D or 3D? Does the player progress in the game by solving puzzles, following/creating the story, fighting enemies, and/or exploring? The more questions you answer and the more detail you give your ideas, the more time you'll save in the long run. If you decide to make a major change after you've already started coding, the change can take many times longer to implement. Pare this down to something way, way simpler than your original idea. A small prototype that explores how your game works and gives a couple levels to play is an excellent start. Once it’s finished, you can use it as a foundation to expand into a full game, or incorporate what you learned into a new project. At this point, there are weeks or months of hard but rewarding work ahead of you. While a team of people will generally divide up the tasks below and work on them simultaneously, an individual will have to decide which task is easiest to start with or most important at each stage. Read through all the steps below and start on the task that appeals to you most. Unless you're making at text-base game, you'll need 2D images, and possibly 3D models and textures (patterns you apply to the models). Music and sound effects you can delay until a bit later in the process, but they are highly recommended if you plan to publish your game. Simple icons, user interface, and fonts are lowest-priority when your game is young, but a little effort here can greatly improve the player experience.  There are many places to find free or cheap art assets online. Try this list at makeschool.com. Hiring an artist will make a big difference. If you can't afford to, gather the assets yourself and show the result to artistic friends or post it to game development or art forums online for advice. Much of this will be written as planning documents outside the game code itself, although a story-based game may need to include branching dialogue trees. Even...

TL;DR in English: Nail down your concept first. Work on the steps below in any order. Gather or create art assets. Work on story or progress arc design. Work on level design. Tweak and optimize the graphics. Get feedback from playtesters.

Write about how oil spills have affected local businesses in your community or the communities in your country or region. Include statistics in your letter to support your information. Also ask your representative what their stance on the issue is and if they are doing anything to address it. Visit the websites of local candidates to find out where they stand on environmental issues like renewable energy. If they have a track record of voting for policies to protect the environment and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, help put them in office by voting for them. There are many non-profits groups and organizations fighting to reduce the world’s dependency on oil through the use of renewable energy.  Support an organization like Center for American Progress, 350.org, The Environmental Working Group, or the Sierra Club by joining and volunteering. If you do not have the time to join or volunteer for an environmental protection organization, you can help support them financially. Donate money to Green Peace, Oceana, or 350.org. Donate on a monthly or annual basis, or whenever you have extra money. Oil spills around the world have alerted citizens to the dangers of offshore drilling. Find a petition by typing “offshore drilling petition” in your search engine. A results list full of sites that have petitions will appear. To sign a petition, you will need to enter your name and email address. Sign reputable organizations' petitions like Oceanic Preservation Society, Ocean Conservancy, Team ORCA, and Oceana.

TL;DR in English: Write a letter to your local or state representatives about preventing oil spills. Vote for candidates that prioritize the environment. Join a non-profit environmental group to raise awareness. Donate money to non-profit organizations that work to prevent oil spills. Sign a petition to stop offshore drilling.

Use the style guide assigned to you by your professor to format a works cited list for your essay. This citation list is typically its own page at the end of the essay. Here you will list all the sources you used to find quotes or other relevant materials presented in your work.  Depending upon your style guide, a primary citation of a book from your list may look something like this: “Mike Wilson, A History of Cats (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2011), 8.” Examples of common style guides include the Chicago Manual of Style, the Turabian Citation Guide, and the AMA Manual of Style. For now, don’t treat sources repeated in the list any differently from one another. Simply focus on creating a proper citation for each work. Look over your list and notice which sources repeat often. Use a highlighter to mark the first time a citation for a specific work appears in your list. If a source only appears on your list once, you don’t need to worry about using ibid, as there are no subsequent references. Look to the citation immediately after your primary citation. If it’s the same, or the same other than the page number, choose the appropriate version of ibid to use.  So if you have the citation “Mike Wilson, A History of Cats (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2011), 8.” and the citation immediately following is the same, you can change that second citation of the Wilson book to, “Ibid.” If the citation following that primary citation of the Wilson book is to page 9 of the book instead of page 8, change the second citation to "Ibid., 9.” Look for places where citations to the same source repeat, but with other citations in between them. In these cases, you’ll create a secondary citation for the repeating instances. Depending on your chosen style guide, you'll write a secondary citation as something like the author’s name, a comma, the page number, and then a period.  Let’s say an unrelated citation appears between a primary reference to page 8 of the Wilson book and a second identical reference to the...

TL;DR in English: Consult your style guide to create a works cited list. Identify primary citations. Use “Ibid.” or “Ibid., [page number].” for immediate repeats after primary citations. Create secondary citations when sources repeat non-consecutively. Use “Ibid.” when secondary citations immediately repeat.

Just as light can stimulate your brain and make it difficult to fall asleep, it can also make it difficult to stay asleep throughout the night. Block out any sources of light that may be causing your insomnia.   Close any blinds, shutters, or curtains in your bedroom. Wearing a sleep mask or putting another aid such as a pillowcase over your eyes can obstruct light. Turn off any electronics or devices so that they aren’t emitting any light that can wake you. Disruptive noises can not only keep you from falling asleep, but also cause insomnia. Dampen any noises that may disrupt your sleep.  Turn off the sound and vibration functions of electronics and devices.  Wear earplugs to block noise. Listen to white noise. The ambient sounds of elements such as a fan or a speaker that plays ocean sounds may keep you asleep and dampen disruptive noises.  Place carpets in your room to dampen noise. Exercising elevates your body temperature and blood pressure and it takes time for your body to come down from this. Get your exercise early in the day, which has the double benefit of helping you fall and stay asleep.  Exercise at least three hours before you begin winding down. This will help your temperature and cortisol levels return to normal.  An additional benefit to exercising in the morning: your body's metabolism is running a bit higher all day long, so you are burning more calories throughout the day than you normally would. Caffeine and alcohol are two primary causes of insomnia. Limit your intake of both and only consume them well before you begin your wind-down and go to bed.  Don’t drink caffeinated beverages after noon.  Limit yourself to no more than one alcoholic drink at least four hours before bedtime. Finish eating your dinner several hours before your bedtime. Heavy, late and spicy meals can cause indigestion and insomnia.  Eat at least three hours before your bedtime.  Avoid heavy or very spicy meals, which can cause indigestion that leads to frequent bathroom trips.  Have a light snack, such as yogurt or...

Understand that the presence or absence of a higher power has no effect on your moral code, unless he or she were to provide a code that is superior to one that you can deduce on your own.  In this case, a moral and logical atheist would accept such a code without question.  However, despite its godly origin, such an atheist would still recognize the value in questioning this divine moral code in order to potentially obtain even greater moral right.  If such as divine code is perfect, then questioning it only serves to support its greatness and make it stronger.  As such, one should never fear questioning a moral code. If a modern human were to stone to death an adolescent for not honoring his/her father and mother, we would certainly think him/her immoral.  Yet, these are the prescribed punishments for such acts, according to Abrahamic texts found in the Old Testament. Since modern humans do not follow their religious texts to the letter, they must have some method for determining which prescriptions to follow and which to discard, which is ultimately where our morals come from. Ask yourself -- is this action "good" because God tells us to do it, or is it simply a good thing to do. If the action is only good because God says so, then morality is nothing more than a checklist, and there are likely few Christians who believe that murder is moral just because someone talked back to their father. When something is a requirement, it's not actually moral anymore. Morality is about choice -- deciding to the right thing amongst many options. But if you're only doing the right thing because a religious leader or text told you to, or because you're scared of the consequences of hell, you're not actually being moral. You're being a sheep. Never forget that the mass murders of the Spanish Inquisition and Crusades were considered "moral" because they were apparently backed up by the Bible. But anyone stepping back to think for themselves would have realized very quickly that senseless violence is never a good moral...

TL;DR in English: Understand that the human intellect is the greatest tool that we yet know and that your rationale is important. Note that morality does not come from religion, but from communities who interpret religion. Remember that true moral goodness occurs because you want to help, not because you have to. Consider many of the clearly immoral positions of religions throughout history. Understand that highly religious communities often have higher rates of violence and crime. Note that atheists tend to be less prejudiced, hateful, and against limited rights for minorities. Remember to still accept the good of religious thinking and morality.

Temptation is all about self-control, and tempting situations are often about the conflict between immediate gratification and long-term goals. For example, if you're on a diet, you may be tempted to eat a delicious piece of cheesecake that's beckoning you from the deli case. Immediate gratification would result from giving in to temptation and eating the cheesecake. However, giving in would also interfere with your long-term goal of becoming more healthy by avoiding high-sugar foods.  As another example, if you're already in a relationship, become aware of people that might tempt you to cheat. These people may be old acquaintances that have come back into your life, your co-workers, or people that you interact with in private settings. However, temptation isn't always this obvious. For example, say you're a business professional and you're tempted to knock off early on a Friday afternoon a few days a month. A couple of early departures don't seem like a big deal, but this could represent to your employer that you can't be trusted with responsibility, which could jeopardize long-term goals such as promotion and advancement. Make it easier to deal with temptation by getting away from what tempts you. For instance, if you're trying to quit smoking, avoid places that you frequently smoked. You may even want to avoid people that you usually smoked with.  If you're tempted to drink, the annual work party at the bar will probably challenge your determination. Stay alert for potential temptations and avoid them when possible. This way, you won't be caught off-guard and you'll always be prepared to deal with temptations.  If you can't completely remove yourself from a situation or person, try to manage the situation so that it's more difficult to act on your temptation. For example, if you're tempted to cheat with a friend, avoid one-on-one situations. Always meet in a group, if you have to see the person. If you're refusing something or someone that's tempting you, don't feel guilty or like you need to lie. Be...

TL;DR in English: Recognize potential temptation. Remove yourself from temptation. Be honest. Visualize yourself resisting temptation. Think of the long-term consequences. Distract yourself. Do not give yourself a choice.

Average print speed settings will range from 5 to 20 pages-per-minute (ppm). The optimum quality speed setting is typically among the speed setting options in the speed adjustment control menu on the printer. Increase the print speed to reduce color saturation when images and graphics bleed and warp from over saturation. Decrease the print speed to raise the color saturation when colors seem washed out or faded. These settings can usually be adjusted from the "Print" menu or on the printer's control panel. Choose the highest dots-per-inch (dpi) setting. Depending on the device specifications, the dpi settings will range from 72 to 2400 dpi. The dpi setting will have a dramatic effect on the resolution quality of an inkjet printer.

TL;DR in English:


Determine whether you meet the requirements. Get a teaching placement in a public school. Apply to teach in a private language school. Apply for your work visa at your local embassy. Register at your local government office.

If you chronically lack confidence, it's probably very easy for you to catalogue your faults and failures, but what about acknowledging your positives? For most people, this is a lot more challenging.  Researchers have found that self-esteem is comprised of both cognitive factors, such as positive memories you have of yourself and your behavior, and self-evaluation, or how positively you evaluate your current attitudes and behaviors. Make a list of everything you like about yourself - your qualities and skills that make you you.  It can help to actually sit down and write out a list as things come to you. Grab a notebook or journal and set a timer for 20-30 minutes. Journaling is a good way to continually maintain and open conversation with yourself about who you are and want to be. It's a way to prompt self-reflection and self-discovery and may help you realize things about yourself that you didn't really know.  Think also about some areas you'd like to improve, such as assertiveness or self-confidence. Contemplate not only what you feel, but why you feel the way you do. Begin to understand your true self, and allow it to exist. If you're not as good at handling some things as you are at others—for example, maybe you feel confident and capable until other people are thrown into a situation, such as in a relationship or at work—acknowledging all facets of yourself is the first step to transformation. Chances are that you are not giving yourself enough credit for everything that you've done throughout your life. Take some time to reflect and look back at your past glories from big to small—things that you've done that you feel proud of. This will help validate your place in the world and the value you bring to the people and society around you and, in this way, build your self-confidence. Research shows that part of building self-esteem is having a solid schema of positive memories about your past accomplishments and abilities. If you begin to accept that you have been a bright, hopeful, confident person in...

TL;DR in English: Take stock of yourself. Look back on your life and your accomplishments. Focus on positive thoughts and beliefs. Set goals and expectations. Fake it 'til you make it. Take chances. Help someone. Take care of yourself. Let go of the idea of perfection. Be persistent.

If you don’t speak Japanese, which is a requirement for most jobs in Japan, then a great way to work in the country is to teach English. Even if you do speak Japanese, you may want the rewarding experience of teaching overseas.  You will need a bachelor’s degree (not an associate's degree) in any subject and possibly a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) or TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) certification. You can get certified as an English language teacher in about three months. Get certified via online or in-person courses. Visit the TESOL or TEFL websites to find accredited classrooms near you. You will need to pass a criminal background check and possibly a drug test. One way of finding a teaching job in Japan is through a program such as the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET). This is run through the Japanese government and places qualified candidates as Assistant Language Teachers in public schools across the country.  Participants sign a 1-year contract and can spend a maximum of 5 consecutive years in the program. You can apply for the program through an online portal during the fall. Your application will need to include the application form, a medical form indicating that you’re in good health, your university transcripts, proof of degree, a 2-page essay explaining why you want to participate in the program, two letters of reference, and proof of American citizenship. It is a very competitive program so not all applicants will be accepted. There are hundreds of private schools offering English classes throughout the country. Typically, you will apply for a teaching position online through the school’s website and be interviewed via Skype if you’re a promising candidate.  Search online for private schools and visit their websites to see if they're hiring. You can also check for job advertisements on Japanese job sites like Gaijinpot.  Make sure the school is legitimate by doing online searches to turn up any negative stories about it. Watch out for red flags....
