Many people by default support the team of the area they live in. This is perhaps the simplest and easiest way to pick a team to support. The benefits of this approach is that many of your friends and family will probably also support the same time. This will make game days more fun, as you’ll be able to join everyone in tailgate parties and more. Consider the following:  Does the city you live in have a football team? If your city or town does not have a team, what big city with a team are you closest to? Support that team. If you are equal distance to two teams, pick whichever you prefer, or whichever one your friends and family support. Some people are lifelong supporters of one team. They support the team of their hometown where they grew up, and they support that team for the rest of their lives. You can go with this approach as well.  This will help you bond with family and friends who still live in that community, if you have moved. This might feel natural because you are probably familiar with the mascot, the colors, and the fan culture of the team. If you’ve moved far away, this might present a problem as you might not be able to attend many games in person. If we’re talking American college football, many people support the team of where they graduated or where they grew up. People do this for many reasons including tradition and emotionalism, but mostly because they associate their college football team with the good times they had in college. This is certainly a good way of determining what team to support. For many families, supporting a football team is tradition. Get behind that tradition and support the same team that your parents and grandparents supported. Not only will you be able to have more in common with your family, but you’ll be able to participate in football related events together, like tailgates and viewing parties.  You’ll also be able to attend games together. Some people are moved by mascots and team colors. If this is the type of person you are, take a look at the wide variety...

TL;DR in English: Choose your team based on where you currently live. Support the team of the city or region where you grew up. Get behind the football team of your alma mater. Rally behind the team your parents support. Consider the mascot or team colors. Support the underdog. Pick a team based on an individual player or coach. Cheer for the winning team.

You need one no wider than one or two inches. A paddle iron will be too wide. Start about an inch or two from the roots. Rotate your wrist toward your head, angling the iron down. Slide it an inch or two down at this angle, and rotate your wrist in the other direction, so the iron is angled up. Slide it an inch or two down at this angle, and rotate your wrist again. Repeat until you reach the end of your hair.

TL;DR in English: Select a skinny flat iron. Clamp the section of your hair you separated into the iron.

The most important tools are a pen and pencil while you bring up ideas. However, other tools can help you collect information along the way and chart progress. You will need to quantify your success on a weekly or monthly basis. For example, if you want to gain 500 more Facebook followers, you should report on the number of total and new followers each month, in addition to the posts you have used. Facebook itself has several valuable reporting tools. At the very least, you should have an Excel spreadsheet, but you may also want to sign up for a Google Analytics account, a CRM management software or a financial tracker like Mint.com.

TL;DR in English: Get organized. Decide how you will keep track of your process. Get high tech.

Send your message to the teacher's professional, school-issued email account, unless they have provided you with a personal address. Your teacher may have given you an email address in the course syllabus. If not, you'll need to track it down yourself. If you can't ask in person, and you can't find the email on the school website, try asking around. One of your friends or classmates might know. You can also ask the school secretary, other teachers, or even parents. Before actually sending your email, give it one last look-over to ensure that everything is spelled and arranged correctly. You might want someone else to look over the email for you for this step. Click your inbox's Send button to do so. Once you have sent the email, you can check the "Sent" section of your inbox to be sure that the message went through. Teachers are often busy people, and you should not expect an immediate response. If your concern is very complicated, or not very urgent, then you might be waiting for a few days. It might take your teacher longer to respond if you send your email over the weekend or during a holiday.  It's always possible that your teacher doesn't feel comfortable answering your question over email. Don't stress if your teacher doesn't respond to your email. Since there's a record of you sending the email and not receiving a response, you can use their lack of response as an excuse if need be. If you have an urgent question that you can't otherwise resolve, and you haven't received a reply within three days, you can send one follow-up email.  When following up, be brief and polite, acknowledge the first email, explain why you need to know the answer as soon as possible, and say, "I just wanted to check back with you in case you didn't get my first email!" (or something similar). Do not send more than one follow-up email.

You'll want to recalibrate your laptop's battery if your computer's battery indicator is no longer displaying the correct amount of charge. For example, if your battery indicator says you have 50 percent charge but your computer shuts down shortly after, you should recalibrate your battery. Keep your computer's charger plugged in until your battery reaches the "Fully Charged" point. Remove the charger side of the charger cable from your computer to do so. Never disconnect the wall socket side of the charger first, as plugging it back in while the charger is connected to the laptop could damage your computer. You can simply keep your computer turned on until the battery life runs out, but streaming video or running another battery-consuming process will speed up the battery draining. This will ensure that the battery's phantom charge is completely gone before proceeding. Skip this step for a lithium battery. Plug back in the computer's charger to do so. Once the battery reaches 100 percent again, it should be calibrated.

TL;DR in English: Know when to use this method. Charge the battery to 100 percent. Unplug your laptop. Run your laptop until the battery has been completely drained. Leave your laptop unplugged for another 3 to 5 hours. Begin charging the battery.

. Our activity and thoughts are positive or negative like magnets. As we avoid dealing with a problem, then it continues as it is — or gets worse. Our own negativity rules the day. But, the more we think positively, the more proactively we will act and reach goals and ways to overcome and accept positive options — and these will bring their rewards. In fact, positive thoughts can even boost your immune system! It sounds simple, but it's hard to execute sometimes. Your life may be very busy, so carve some tasks into your day that consistently make you happy. When you do something that you love, you are distracted from being sad or negative. Some positive activities that you can do are:   Listening to music. Listen to the genre you like. Reading. Reading is good for you. It can even teach you empathy. And, if you’re reading non-fiction, it can help you learn new information and perspectives on the world. Creative expression, e.g. painting, writing, origami, etc. Sports, hobbies, etc. Being with friends and family. The awe-inspiring. Studies show that the feeling of awe or wonderment you experience when you’re walking in nature, viewing a stunning painting, or listening to your favorite symphony is great for your health, both physically and mentally. Find ways to incorporate a little wonder into your life whenever you can. Appreciate the people in your life who have stood by you through thick and thin.  Enlist their support to help you become more positive, and in the process you will probably help them too. Friends help each other through both the good and bad times.  Studies have shown that people who surround themselves with friends who have similar values and outlooks are more likely to feel happy and positive about their lives than people who don’t.  Interacting with people you love causes your brain to release neurotransmitters that make you feel happy (dopamine) and relaxed (serotonin). Spending time with friends and loved ones will actually make you feel more positive on a chemical level!  You can also...

Since you know you have at least your class in common, that’s a great way to start getting to know each other — by talking about the work, the teacher, your classmates, etc. But over time, you want to get to know other parts of each other, too, so talk about things that have nothing to do with class, or even school. Don’t try to hard to be “cool.” What you think looks “cool” might come off as distant or condescending. It’s much easier for a girl to talk to a guy who’s just being himself — open and honest.  Smile and laugh easily — girls love guys who enjoy themselves. Face your body toward her when you’re speaking to her. Don’t be afraid to make eye contact with her when you’re talking. Once you’ve broken the ice, you want to get to know each other. Try to find out what she’s interested in. Ask what her favorite classes are, whether she does any after-school activities, and what she likes to do in her spare time.  Try to steer conversations toward topics that interest her. This will make her look forward to talking to you, since she’ll know you enjoy listening to her talk about something she loves. You want her to get to know you, too, so talk about the things that are important to you. If you just let her talk about herself all the time, then eventually, you’ll stop liking her because you’ll feel like the friendship is all about her. It’s important to maintain a balance, so you’re both sharing parts of your life with each other equally.  Be open and honest. Don’t just talk about the things you think she wants to hear about — talk about the things that are actually important to you. Use your discretion. There are some things that you shouldn’t talk about with someone you don’t know very well, so start with topics that are harmless and light. Try to keep a balance between how much you talk and how much she talks. The best way to spend time with someone is to have friends in common with her. Hanging out in a group with mutual friends will be less nerve-wracking than talking to each other one-on-one, and you’ll...

Sometimes it takes a village to raise a child. Whenever possible, enlist the help of other parents. Since it can feel counterproductive when other families don't teach the same values, try talking to the parents that have contact with your teen to ensure that your rules will be enforced.  For example, if your teen is watching a movie at his or her friend's house, call the parents beforehand and let them know what types of films your teen is allowed to watch. If you can't get other parents to comply, don't cave in on the core standards of behavior that you've set for your teen. Parents' advice is often discounted by teens, but the words of a teacher, coach, extended family member, or friend's parent, among others, might be taken more seriously.  Suggest that your teen stay after school and chat with his favorite teacher or coach. Allow your teen to spend time with a family member whom he or she trusts. Make sure you know and approve of the adults your teen spends time with. If your teen's issues seem beyond your control, seek advice from a professional, such as a like a pediatrician or school counselor.  These specialists may provide insight into what your teen is going through and give you the tools you need to help.

TL;DR in English: Enlist other parents. Encourage a mentor. Find counsel.

Even if you feel comfortable with physical affection or physical demonstrations of familiarity, do not assume that the people around you feel the same way. Even in informal situations, stick to a simple bow and maintain a healthy distance. This is particularly important as people of different sex and gender identifications as it maybe be considered inappropriate and impolite to exchange physical contact in public, not because of queer identification, however, because traditionally on a binary system individual of different sex/gender identification do not engage in excessive physical contact. In more informal situations, you can make eye contact, but do not hold it for an extended period of time. Instead, allow your gaze to linger for a matter of seconds before moving to another focal point. Follow the lead of the person with whom you are associating. If they do not initiate eye contact, you should follow suit. Even in informal situations, you should offer a bow as a form of greeting. The depth of your bow will determine how much reverence or respect you are offering, so a small bow from the waist or a gentle dip of the head will suffice for an informal setting. If you do not know the people to whom you are bowing, engage in a more pronounced bow and reserve gentle nods for acquaintances or known colleagues. In an informal setting, feel free to offer up a handshake, but do not be too firm or aggressive. Instead, keep your hand loose. Handshakes are also not held as long in Japan as they might be in Europe or the United States. Rather than holding a firm handshake for ten seconds or more, grasp hands for a maximum of five seconds before letting go. Large displays of emotion are not common in Japanese culture, so don’t be surprised if you do not encounter a lot of friendly smiling. If you are familiar with someone, however, don’t feel you have to shy away from smiling or grinning.

TL;DR in English: Avoid direct contact. Hold only brief eye contact. Give a small bow or dip of the head. Shake hands. Offer a smile.

That is, sometimes, it's in your best interest to just stay silent. If telling the person won't help the situation, then you may just want to leave it alone, even if the person does irritate you.  For instance, telling a manager you don't like them probably isn't going to be all that helpful to you. Your manager holds power over your career and can make your work life miserable, so telling a manager you don't like them isn't going to be beneficial. You might also get in trouble for insubordination. In addition, you may weigh your options if the person you don't like is a family member or a friend of the family. If you're going to see the person on a regular basis, telling them you don't like them is only going to make those situations more difficult. Similarly, if the person is a mutual friend with other friends, it may make social gatherings more difficult if you tell the person you don't like them. Also, consider whether you're being fair in your dislike. Maybe you took an instant dislike to someone without getting to know them. Try getting to know the person better before making a snap judgment. No matter how you tell someone you don't want them in your life, try not to cross over into being a jerk. You can tell someone you don't enjoy their company without being mean about it, which can also help you not burn bridges.  If you're too brutal, you may have trouble making friends with other people. Word will get around. Don't be abusive or mean when you talk to the person; be as respectful and calm as possible. For instance, saying, "I can't stand to be around you." is pretty mean. Instead, try, "Our values are too different, and I don't really have time for new friends." " If you simply don't respond to a person's advances towards friendship, they'll eventually get the message. In other words, try not to engage in chatty conversation and don't agree to plans you don't want to join in on.  Also, try not to smile at the person. You don't have to frown, but smiling makes you more approachable. This approach can...

Removing dust and dirt before cleaning your curtains can help you to get them looking as white as possible. A lot of dust and dirt can get trapped in your net curtains over time so it is very important to pre-treat them before washing. Remove the curtain rod from the wall and slip the net curtains off one side of the rod. You will need to soak your net curtains for pre-treatment. In order to soak your curtains you will need to find a basin. You can also use a bathtub with a stopper in it if it works easier. Both vinegar and baking soda are powerful natural cleaners that can help you get your curtains looking white and bright. For maximum cleaning you will want to use both of these cleaners, but either one will work well.  Do not use vinegar and baking soda at the same time as they simply cancel each other out. One is an acid and the other is a base so mixing them results in a chemical reaction that reduces the cleaning ability of these chemicals. Vinegar is great for removing smells and getting your nets a bright white color once again. They will also remove mildew and mold. Baking soda is excellent at removing mildew and mold, can remove bad odors and will help whiten your curtains. Pour lukewarm water into the bucket or basin that you will be using for your soak. You will need enough water so that it covers the net curtain completely. Add one cup of vinegar to the basin. This will create a vinegar soak for your net curtain. If the smell of the vinegar bothers you then you can add a tablespoon or two of lemon juice to freshen the smell. The lemon juice will also help to clean the curtain. Vinegar should not be used on curtains that are made from linen because it will burn them. Most modern inexpensive net curtains are made from polyester but if you are unsure whether your curtains have linen then you should skip this step. Place the net curtain into the vinegar soak and agitate it somewhat to allow the water and vinegar to mix completely and cover the curtain. You want all areas of the curtain to soak...

TL;DR in English: Pre-treat your curtains to remove all the dust and dirt before cleaning them. Take down the curtain. Obtain a bucket or bath. Obtain vinegar and baking soda. Pour lukewarm water into your bucket or basin. Add one cup of vinegar to the basin. Add the net curtain to the basin and agitate slightly. Allow the net curtain to soak for at least an hour. Drain and soak with baking soda for another hour. Treat any stains remaining on your curtain.

While you can grow more marijuana outdoors or achieve higher yields indoors with hydroponics (growing plants without soil), growing indoors with soil offers a winning mix of ease and security that makes it a good choice for beginning growers who only need enough medical marijuana for themselves. Germinating is simply the process by which you start your seeds sprouting. You can germinate them in a variety of ways – the key is to keep them warm and moist.  Starter cubes – These cubes of growing medium are the easiest option. Stick your seed in the hole, pointed end down, and keep the cube moist and warm. Once the seedling appears, you can plant the cube directly in potting soil. Good brands include Jiffy Pellets and Rapid Rooters. Wet paper towel – Put the seeds in the paper towel, fold it and put it in a dark place for 1 to 3 days. When a white root pops out, plant 1 inch deep with root downward. Warm water – For older or dried out seeds, try dropping them in a glass of slightly warm water and placing it in a dark place. They should sprout in 24-32 hours. If they haven't after this time, move them to a moist place to finish sprouting. Germinate in soil – You can germinate your seedling directly in potting soil. Plant 1 inch deep with the pointy end down, and keep the soil moist and warm. Seedlings carry their own nutrients, so don't start them out in overly-nutrient rich soil. For best results, plant seedling in potting soil contained in plastic cups with holes poked in the bottom for water drainage. You can transfer to a larger pot and begin slowly adding nutrients after two to four weeks. You can buy a soil mix like Fox Farms designed for marijuana, or purchase garden soil and add the necessary nutrients. You can also use coco peat (coconut shell hair), which retains moisture and drains well, and has the correct pH. If using garden soil, consider:  pH – Marijuana needs soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7. For overly acidic soil, use 1 cup of dolomite lime for every ¼ liter of soil to increase pH. To increase...

TL;DR in English: Grow indoors with soil for security, control, and ease. Germinate your seeds. Plant your seedlings in potting soil. Purchase and prepare your soil. Care for your plants during the vegetative stage. Transfer your plants to larger pots as needed. Induce flowering. Remove any male flowers. Adjust the growing conditions for flowering.
###
For best results, purchase a growing medium designed specifically for propagating from seeds and cuttings. You can also use a mixture of commercial potting soil, organic garden compost, and sand. Leave about ¼ inch (0.64 cm) at the top of the container to allow space for watering.  When using a packaged soil, consider mixing in ⅓ perlite, vermiculite, or horticultural grit to promote proper drainage.  You’ll only be caring for your bougainvillea in this container until it takes root, so a pot as small as 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) will work just fine. Sink the stem 1.5–2 inches (3.8–5.1 cm) below the surface of the soil to ensure that it’s anchored firmly. If you’re working with a denser soil mixture and you’re worried about damaging the stem, it may help to first open up a narrow hole using a pencil or similar object.  Inserting the stem into the soil at a slight angle may help more of the existing nodes sprout into roots.  Use only one cutting per pot to provide plenty of room for growth and prevent competition. Use enough water to moisten the surface of the soil without oversaturating it. After watering, allow the cutting to sit undisturbed. A healthy drink will encourage it to begin putting down new roots. Be careful not to overwater your bougainvillea cutting. Too much moisture could inhibit the rooting process, or even lead to more harmful complications like rotting or fungal disease. The surrounding layer of plastic will create a miniature greenhouse effect, trapping in humidity. In just a few weeks, the abundance of moisture will help the plant begin growing on its own. Once it’s covered, pick out a cool, shady spot inside your home away from direct heat or sunlight to store the cutting.  Seal the bag by tying or zipping, if possible. Otherwise, it should be okay to simply drape the plastic cover over the top of the pot and make sure the bottom is weighted and secure. You can also use a cloche or coldframe, if you have access to one. You’ll know your bougainvillea cutting has taken root when small green...

TL;DR in English: Fill a small container with a well-drained soil. Insert the cutting into the soil. Water the newly planted cutting thoroughly. Cover the potted cutting with a plastic bag. Look for the cutting to begin sprouting within 6-10 weeks.

Choose the sort of bread you want (Italian or Italian herb and cheese are popular choices for this sandwich) and then layer slices of spicy pepperoni, Genoa salami, and Black Forest ham. Make it with cheese, or choose to skip the formaggio (cheese in Italian) and go straight for the veggies. Top it all off with some oil and vinegar. This sandwich is packed with delicious meats and gooey cheese. Try out the 9-grain wheat and lay down some slices of ham, turkey, and bacon. Next, layer some slices of your favorite cheese on top and pop the whole thing into the oven for a couple of minutes. When the the sandwich comes out all melted and toasty, throw on some veggies and your favorite sauce for the final, delicious touches. Whip up some fantastic  meatballs and pour some  marinara on top. Next, add your favorite cheese (mozzarella is always a good way to go) and stick it in the oven until the cheese melts. Delicious!

TL;DR in English:


Gather the necessary information. Report the violation to the SSA.

Have the discussion in a neutral location, such as the living room or the kitchen. Avoid the bedroom or ones' office. Have the discussion in private without other people involved such as friends, children or parents. Avoid distractions like computers and phones, so you can each turn your attention towards the conversation at hand. Have the discussion at a time when both partners are rested and not distracted. Don’t worry about the adage, “Never go to bed angry.” It is usually better for both partners to be able to rest, calm down, and gain some perspective on the disagreement. Take breaks when necessary. Fighting, even when done fairly, is exhausting, and you will both have more productive conversations when you can clear your head. Even taking five minutes apart can make a difference. Don’t let little things build up into big things. If you are angry about something, tell your partner about it. Keep talking through problems. If you stop talking and give your partner the silent treatment, nothing is going to get resolved. Spend one-third of the time talking about your own perspective, one-third of the time listening closely and intimately (holding hands or otherwise touching each other) to your partner, and one-third mutually engaging in the dialogue at hand. Do not engage in name-calling. Even terms of endearment can be hurtful if they are used heatedly. Don’t tell your partner how they feel or how they should act or respond. Be respectful of their feelings and do not project your own feelings on them. Don’t use words like “always” and “never.” An example is, “You always do this,” or “You never do that.” These words are exaggerations and only serve to alienate your partner. Also, do not use the word “but,” as in, “I understand what you’re feeling, but…?” Do not bring up past grievances. Keep the conversation rooted in the immediate issue, so that you can address that first. Admitting when you are at fault can be a huge step in reaching compromise or resolution. Your honesty will help your partner trust you...

TL;DR in English: Choose an appropriate setting and time. Maintain open lines of communication. Divide the discussion into thirds. Be respectful. Remove certain words from your fighting vocabulary. Keep the discussion to the topic at hand. Take responsibility for your part in the disagreement. Remain calm and do not engage in physical violence or threats. Forgive your partner and yourself. Engage a mediator or seek professional counseling.

The second you notice yourself reaching for your phone to check a text message or opening a webpage unrelated to work, stop and cut the distraction off at the pass. In order to combat the most common distractions, you must be able to recognize when they're stealing your attention away. Practice staying mindful of resisting distractions by repeating a phrase like "be here now" or "this is not what I need to be doing" when you catch your attention drifting. Being vigilant of your mind state can help snap you back to reality.  Many distractions simply have to be ignored. The brain is well-equipped to block out smaller, less intrusive distractions, but with a little practice you can learn to build up your focus and attention like a muscle. Most people lose so much time to extraneous activities because they fail to notice when they're getting distracted, and only become aware of their mistake once the damage has been done. Be disciplined about making yourself start working. Procrastination is a major distraction because it allows you to convince yourself that you’ll be better off performing a task when you feel more prepared. Once you realize that you’ll never get anything done unless you do it now, you won’t feel so tempted to put things off.  Procrastination is a childish mentality. It can cause you to avoid responsibility in favor of feeling good right now. Research has shown that people rarely meet with more success when they put things off until later as opposed to doing them right away. Sometimes you have to remind yourself to actively focus. Many people never truly learn how to stay focused and find it difficult to keep their minds from wandering when there’s work to be done. Try to shut off your own mental distractions so that you can zero in on checking items off your to-do list. It’s not enough to simply know that you need to focus; you have to apply yourself to the action you’re performing in the moment. It can help to remember that the best way to get everything done is to put all your effort toward...

TL;DR in English: Be aware of when you're getting distracted. Resist the urge to procrastinate. Focus with intention. Get away from the source of your distractions.

First, choose a wax for your hair. There are many kinds of mustache wax available. If your mustache hair is thick and wiry you should buy a stiff wax. Inversely, if your mustache hair is thin, you can buy a softer wax. You will also need a fine-tooth comb to help you brush out your mustache and a small pair of hair-trimming scissors. These can be found at most beauty supply stores.  When in doubt, buy two containers of wax, one with a medium stiffness and one with a strong stiffness. Experiment with comb types. Some people prefer fine tooth combs, others use unconventional combs such as head lice combs. Most handlebar mustaches use hair from the entire upper lip. If you're just starting out it's best to play it safe. Don't shave any part of your face that may help your mustache look fuller. This can include the areas next to the corners of your mouth.  It may take up to three months for your mustache to become thick and glorious. Don't give up! Don't trim your mustache, even the parts right above your lip. Once your mustache is long enough to comb, start training your hairs to keep the shape you like. Part your mustache down the middle of your lip and gently comb each half away from your nose. Add a small amount of mustache wax or hair putty before combing to help your hairs stay in place.  If you use a tub of wax, warm a small amount between your fingers before applying it. Evenly coat all of your hairs by combing the wax through your mustache. If you use a stick of wax, apply it directly to your mustache before combing. It takes time to grow a decent handlebar mustache. While you wait, start shaping the new hair by twisting the ends. Your mustache won't be long enough to get a good curl but you'll be able to get an idea of how it might look. In this stage you can start trimming the sides to create different shapes.  Never trim the hairs directly above your lip. If they stay short, you won't be able to brush them into your mustache. Give uncooperative hairs time to grow out. Once they're longer they'll be...

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Stop shaving your upper lip. Train the new hairs. Experiment as you wait.

If you believe that someone is using a fake social security card or number to work or obtain benefits, you can report that individual to the Office of the Inspector General of the Social Security Administration. Before you make such a report, however, it is necessary to gather certain information so that the SSA can make the most of your report.  You will want to compile a list of the suspect's name, address, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and the social security number they are using. The more information you can provide, the better. It will also be helpful to detail the circumstances of the fraud, including a basic description of what took place along with when and where the violation occurred. The SSA provides an online form you can use to submit a report of a person using a fake social security card or number. You can also reach the SSA by phone, mail, or fax. All of this information is available on the portion of the SSA's website dedicated to reporting fraud.  You have the option of remaining anonymous when reporting a social security violation. Your identity will only be released to relevant officials on a need-to-know basis. However, the SSA warns that remaining anonymous may hamper its ability to conduct a thorough investigation. You will not be updated on the status of your report unless the SSA has need to question you directly.

Start by massaging your entire foot. Loosen up your foot. Apply moisturizing lotion. Massage the toes first. Move on to the ball of the foot. Work on the midsection of your foot. Rub the bottom of your foot in a clockwise motion. Massage the inside edge of your foot. Finish with the heel and tops of the feet. Concentrate on the areas you feel might be causing your chest pain. Massage the balls of your feet below your little toes for lung problems. Work on the balls of your feet just below your big toes for heart problems. Concentrate on the neck reflexes at the base of your toes to relieve acid reflux, heartburn or other chest pain associated with your throat and esophagus. Apply pressure to the reflex points for you stomach, small intestine, and gall bladder to treat digestive problems.

Pour the oil into a medium skillet or wok. Set the pan on the stove over medium-high heat. As the oil heats up, turn the pan to coat the entire bottom and all sides. Add the chopped onion to the hot oil. Cook, stirring frequently, until most of the onion has visibly softened. This should take about 2 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken to the same pan and cook for several minutes, stirring frequently, until no visible pink remains on any side. Chicken fried rice is the most traditional variation, but you can try other types of fried rice, as well. For instance, Korean versions of omurice typically use cubes of smoked ham and crab stick. Other meats should be added and cooked in the same basic manner as chicken. Add the carrots and peas to the pan. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the contents, then mix it all together until the vegetables appear evenly distributed throughout. Make sure that the carrots and peas are tender before continuing. If the carrots have been properly diced, this should only take a few minutes. Dump the rice into the pan. Mix it into the chicken and vegetable blend until everything appears evenly distributed.  Since traditionally prepared Japanese rice is sticky, you may need to use your spatula or mixing spoon to break it up into smaller chunks before you can mix it into the chicken-vegetable blend. You'll need to cook and stir the contents of the pan for approximately 2 to 3 minutes during this step. The rice should dry out slightly, but it shouldn't be burnt or crunchy. Add 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of ketchup and 1 tsp (5 ml) of soy sauce to the contents of the pan. Stir everything together until well combined. Taste the rice once everything has been added to the pan. If it seems bland, add more salt and pepper as desired to improve it to your own preferences. The fried rice should be ready at this point. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside until you are ready to put together the omurice.  The chicken should be cooked through at this point, but just in case, it doesn't hurt to check. If the...

TL;DR in English: Heat the oil. Fry the onion. Brown the chicken. Toss in the vegetables, salt, and pepper. Add the rice. Stir in the ketchup and soy sauce. Set aside the fried rice.

Gouges can be used to carve into wood or to remove wood around a design to bring the design into relief. Gouges have curved points and long handles, but they come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Pick a couple that will work for your project. There are 8 standards of degrees to the curves of gouge chisels. These vary from a very slight curve to a chisel tip the is a half circle. Each curve also comes in a variety of widths, so you will have a wide variety of chisels to choose from. Use clamps or a vise to hold it to a strong work surface, such as a workbench. Using gouges can create a lot of force, so make sure that the wood is really secure when pushed from a variety of directions. Place the forefinger of your less dominant hand near the sharp end of the chisel and the rest of the hand at the place where the metal blade meets the handle. This will give you control over where the tip moves as you push it. Your other hand should be back on the handle, so that you can use its strength to push through the wood. As you push with your dominant hand, direct the tool with your less dominant hand. It will take practice to master how to move the chisel to get the effect you want. Moving the gouge across the grain risks damaging the wood and chipping out areas that you don’t want removed. As you practice and become more skilled with the gouge, the way you should move the tool across the wood will become more natural. To identify the grain, look closely at the wood. Look for lines going across the wood. These are the grain lines and you should move the gouge with them or across the very end of them. Gouges are versatile chisels that can make a wide variety of cuts. Play with your gouges to make patterns and remove wood in any shape you like.  For deep cuts, you can even hold the gouge perpendicular to the wood and hit the handle sharply with a mallet. Repeat your action, change the size of your gouge as needed for the design, and sharpen blades as required until your project is complete.

TL;DR in English: Use a gouge for fine woodwork, such as carving or sculpting. Firmly attach your wood to a solid surface. Hold the gouge with both hands and push it though the wood. Push the gouge with the grain of the wood or across the end grain. Raise, lower, or turn the handle to achieve the desired effect.

It can be difficult to determine the precise origin of chest pain, which can stem from stress, lung problems, digestion issues, or heart problems. It is therefore best to start by massaging your entire foot, and then focusing in on areas you think might be to blame. This sort of general massage has been shown to have a positive therapeutic effect. Hold the foot and gently rotate it at the ankle. Then rub all over your foot with both hands. Do this before applying any massage oil or moisturizing lotion. Rub the lotion in your hands to warm it up, then apply it to the top of the foot, starting at the ankle and wiping down to the toes. Do the same for the bottom of the foot. Starting with the big toe, pinch it between your index finger and thumb and use your thumb or thumb knuckle to gently press and massage the bottom of the toe for approximately 30 seconds. Twist the toe left and right, then push it down towards the sole of the foot. Repeat this procedure, spending approximately 15 seconds massaging each of the smaller toes. End by using your hand to gently press all the toes and the top of the foot down towards the sole of the foot. Grip the foot you are working on by the Achilles tendon above the heel to provide stability while you massage. Start nearest the big toe. Using your thumb or thumb knuckle, apply gentle pressure by pressing and holding for two seconds, or massaging with tiny circular motions. Move across the foot in three separate lines – top, middle, and bottom of the ball of the foot. Repeat these lines three times. Grip your foot with both hands. Use your thumb knuckles if your thumbs get tired.  Start by applying gentle pressure as you pull your thumb across your foot, alternating hands – left to right for your right thumb, and right to left for your left thumb. Work in three lines, dragging each thumb 5 times per line. Next apply gentle pressure as you pull your thumbs down along the middle of your foot, working towards your heel. Again, work in three lines, dragging your left and right thumb...

Take care to remove any clips holding the molding in place properly. These clips release many different ways (i.e. pull straight out, remove the middle first, push in from either side, etc.) but damaging them will mean that they have to be replaced. They can range from very cheap, to relatively expensive, and some of them are hard to find. The pinch-weld is an area at the front of the car where different metal components welded together. This provides structure and forms a frame for the windshield. In order to remove the windshield you must cut it away from the pinch-weld. This can be done from inside or outside the vehicle with a cold knife or razor. The urethane is a very strong, but flexible, polymer based adhesive.  If you choose to cut from the outside you might have a problem when the windshield has been placed too close to the pinch-weld. If there is less than 1/8” of urethane then the knife will not have room to drag properly. This causes the glass to break and make a mess. Cutting the windshield out from the inside of the vehicle is the other option.  You can use an extended handle razor knife and cut with a repeated dragging motion.  Many installers also use power cutters which are faster but do more damage to the metal pinch-weld. This should be done with two people. Open the front door on either side of the car and reach one arm in to gently push the glass away from the pinch-weld. Get a hold of the glass from the outside of the car and lift it straight up off of the pinch-weld.

TL;DR in English: Remove any plastic moldings from around the windshield. Analyze the best angle to separate the windshield from the pinch-weld. Cut the urethane. Remove the windshield from the car.

This will allow at the salt and sugar to become evenly distributed throughout the flour. If you do not have a food processor, then put everything into a bowl and stir it briskly with a fork. You can also use plain flour instead of all-purpose flour. Start with ¾ cup (180 milliliters) of water; you will be adding the rest later, depending on how dry the dough is. Most food processors should have a spout at the top where you can pour ingredients through without taking the lid off. After a while, the dough should start to come away from the sides of the food processor. If the dough is still too dry and has floury clumps in it, add the rest of the water, one tablespoon at a time. Do this until the dough clumps together and comes away from the walls of the food processor.  If you do not have a food processor, make a hole in the middle of your flour mixture, and pour the lemon juice and water in. Stir it with a fork until the dough clumps together. The lemon juice will help make the dough more elastic and easier to roll out. You won't taste it once you bake the pastry. The square should measure 6 inches (15.24 centimeters) on each side. Do not make the square too thin. This will make the dough easier to work with later. During this time, you can start preparing the butter. Make sure that the butter sticks are touching each other and that the flour is spread evenly across them. Keep doing this until the flour becomes ingrained in the butter. Once you are done mashing, remove the top parchment sheet. The square should measure 8 inches (20.30 centimeters) on each side. Leave it there for one hour. This will allow the butter to cool back down and become more manageable later. You want to end up with a square that it is about 11 inches (27.94 centimeters) on each side. Unwrap the butter and position it so that the corners are touching the flat sides of the dough square. Then, lift the corners of the dough and fold them towards the middle of the butter, creating a square-shaped packet. Do not make it too thin, and make...

TL;DR in English: Mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor for a few seconds. Add the lemon juice and part of the water into the food processor while it is still running. Transfer the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat it into a square. Wrap the dough up and put it in the refrigerator for one hour. Put unwrapped butter sticks on a sheet of parchment paper and cover them with 2 tablespoons of flour. Cover the flour and butter with another sheet of parchment paper and mash it with a rolling pin. Roll the butter out into a square. Wrap the butter with plastic wrap and put it into the refrigerator. Unwrap the dough and roll it out on a lightly-floured surface. Set the butter in the middle of the and wrap the dough around it. Roll the packet out into a rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds. Turn the dough packet to one side by 90 degrees. Repeat the rolling and folding one more time. Wrap the packet with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator. Roll and fold the dough into thirds four more times, chilling it in between. Put the dough into the refrigerator for one hour before baking with it.

Keep your eye on stores with used clothing or ones that specifically curate vintage clothing from the ‘60s and other decades.  If you care to find perfectly authentic items from the decade, do some research into the brand and style to find out when it was made, or ask an expert on vintage clothing to help you authenticate it. Check out garage sales, estate sales, and flea markets for other great options and potential hidden gems. Check sites like eBay and other online stores where individual sellers advertise their vintage clothing or personal pieces that they’ve held onto since the ‘60s. There are also a number of online stores like ModCloth that bring very retro styles, including hippie style, into modern-day clothing. Tie dye your own shirt, headband, or any other clothing item or accessory using rubber bands or string to tie up white fabric and create patterns with different colored dyes. Create all kinds of patterns with tie dye, like a spiral, stripes, polka dots, or rosettes. If you enjoy making your own clothes or want to learn how, you can pick up your own fabrics in earth tones and floral patterns and use them to follow sewing patterns for the items you want to make, like bellbottoms or mini skirts. Some fabric stores may sell retro sewing patterns, or you can check out online shops or antique malls for those that sell truly vintage patterns straight from the ‘60s! Add fringe, embroidery, patches, or beading to the hems, sleeves, and seams of nearly any piece of clothing to give it some extra hippie flair.  Make any pair of pants into bellbottoms by cutting open the seam along the outside of the calves and sewing in a triangular piece of fabric. You can also add fun wide sleeves to a top with a circle of fabric attached to the end of each existing sleeve.  If you don’t want to buy clothes or modify your clothes, simply pair different textures, colors and patterns in your wardrobe that you would never ordinarily think to put together. Hippie style means anything goes, as long as you like it! Get...

Probably one of the most important treatments for arthritis is losing weight, though many people find this difficult. Reducing the amount of weight your knees carry, decreases the load and damage to the joint and can lower your risk of osteoarthritis. Limiting certain activities may be necessary and learning new exercise methods may be helpful to prevent or reduce arthritis damage.  Aquatic exercise is an excellent option for patients who have knee problems. Using a cane or a crutch in the hand opposite the affected knee will help decrease the demand placed on the joint. Many joint supplements contain molecules that are naturally made in the body, such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, and are important for healthy cartilage in your knee joints.  Although joint supplements may control pain, it is now clear that they do not regenerate cartilage. Good studies have shown that there is no better benefit than placebo, but risks are minima (other than to your wallet), so most orthopedists advise to give it a try. Some doctors recommend you take joint supplements for a period of three months to see if they provide any help. Over-the-counter joint supplements are not typically controlled by the FDA. You may want to consult your doctor before taking these supplements.

Although it may be scary and intimidating, ask your friends and loved ones what they think your best qualities are. This will help boost your confidence and remind you that your body has given you so many gifts. You will most likely be surprised at the wonderful things they see in you that you often miss. Here is a way you can ask: Start off by giving your friend or loved one a great compliment, and then ask, "What do you think is my best quality?" People develop the attitude and behaviors of the people who surround them. If you keep positive influences in your life, you will adopt those attitudes which will help you love yourself, inside and out. Look for people who are optimistic, work hard toward their goals, and respect themselves. Think about all of the people either directly in your life, or those who have accomplished amazing things that you admire. Those individuals are most likely renowned and respected for their accomplishments outside of their bodies. Use this to help you remember that your body does not stand in the way of your life or happiness. Your body can help you pursue all of your dreams and desires. Think about your family members, close friends, or someone you have never met but always admired, and make a list of their best qualities. Then, ask yourself if their self-image or body made the list, or kept them from achieving their accomplishments.

TL;DR in English: Ask others what they love about you. Surround yourself with people who love themselves. Follow after your role models.

You can hide any message using the Invisible Ink feature. When the message is sent, the recipient will have to "wipe away" the blurry pixels to reveal the text. The Invisible Ink feature works with pictures messages as well as text. This only works in the Messages app in iOS 10 or later. For instructions on updating to iOS 10, see Update iOS. This will open a menu of text effect options. If the menu doesn't appear, see the next section.  Force Press is available on 3D Touch devices like the iPhone 6. Press with more force than a typical touch to open the menu. If you don't have a 3D Touch enabled device, press and hold the arrow for a few seconds until the menu appears. This will display what the message will look like with the Invisible Ink effect. If you're happy with your message and the Invisible Ink, you can tap the blue arrow to send the message. The recipient will need to wipe the message to read it. If you don't want the recipient to accidentally show the message to other people nearby, you can hide it with Invisible Ink with instructions to open it in private. The recipient can then swipe the message to reveal when they are alone. Because the recipient can't see the message right away, you can create a sense of anticipation. Use some text in combination with an Invisible Ink picture for the perfect birthday or other surprise announcement.

How long this takes depends on the type of developer you used, your hair type, and how light you want the highlights to be. Peek under the foil wraps every 5 minutes or so to judge the process. As soon as your hair reaches your desired lightness, you are ready to move on.  Most bleaching kits include a developing time in the instructions. Use this as a guide; your hair may lighten much faster than what the package says! Expect to wait around 25 minutes for the bleach to process. Do not let the bleach sit longer than 45 minutes in your hair, or you will fry it. Cover your hair with a shower cap and blast it with a blow dryer to help speed up the process. If you removed the plastic dyeing gloves, put them back on first. Carefully remove the foil wrappers from your hair. Do not brush your hair out, otherwise you risk blending the bleach into the undyed portions. You can do this in the shower or in a sink, but make sure that the water doesn't get into your eyes. Rinse the bleach out first, then follow up immediately with shampoo. Rinse the shampoo out as well.  Use the coldest water temperature that you can withstand. Bleaching is damaging enough on its own, and hot water will only make it worse. If your bleached hair looks yellow, wash it with a purple shampoo after rinsing out the bleach in order to remove the brassiness of the color. Choose a deep-conditioning conditioner or hair mask meant for chemically-treated hair. Apply it to your wet hair, wait 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse it out with cool water. If you are using a hair mask, double-check the label. Some recommend that you leave it in longer than 10 minutes. It would be best to let your hair air-dry, but you can use a blow-dryer as well. Once your hair is dry, you will be able to see the true extent of the highlights. Section off your hair, just like before, and apply the dye to your roots. Blend the dye towards the bleached parts with a tinting brush or a toothbrush. Let the dye develop, then rinse it out with cool water and a color safe conditioner. ...

Have the conversation face-to-face, if possible. Be frank about your reasons. Don’t apologize. Stay calm if their reaction is negative.

This method is similar to the stick method, but it’s more reliable partly because it uses a longer observation time, but mostly because it uses equal times before and after local noon.  Locate flat ground and collect your tools:  A stick or pole that’s two to five feet long One small sharp stick Two small rocks Something like a long string This must be done before noon. Wherever the shadow of the pole ends, place a rock. Tie the sharp stick to one end of the string, and the other end of the string to the pole, making sure it’s just long enough to reach the rock on the ground.  With this method it is important that the top of the stick, the part that casts the shadow, is directly over the part of the stick that is in the ground. With the rock as your starting point, use the sharp stick that's attached to the pole to draw the circle in the ground around the pole. When the shadow from the pole finally touches this circle again, mark the point where it connected with the other rock. The straight line that connects the first rock with the second rock is the true east–west line, where the first rock represents west and the second rock represents east. To find north and south from this point, north will be ninety degrees clockwise from west, and south will be ninety degrees clockwise from east.

TL;DR in English: Assemble your tools. Put the long pole in the ground. Attach the string to the stick and pole. Draw a circle around the pole. Wait. Connect the dots.

While you don't need to become proficient in Klingon, you should make an attempt to understand your partner's obsessions. Follow some of the movies, books, and games that your partner loves. Who knows--maybe they'll become your obsessions, too.  A relationship is a two-way street. You should show some interest in your partner's passions, and demand that your partner do the same for you. Don't worry if you don't understand some of your partner's passions. While some shared interests are important, you don't need to share all of them. Your partner's nerdy obsessions and social awkwardness make them who they are. You shouldn't try to change them, and moreover, you won't be able to. If you can't accept them, then you probably shouldn't be together. Don't tease your partner for their mysterious obsessions. They've likely had to put up with such teasing their entire life, and more of it will only cause them to withdraw. Nerds often thrive on routine. They are very sensitive to change, whether it be at work, on the road, or at home. Simply moving an item in your partner's room might upset them. You partner may have a designated space in the home where they like to work or pursue their hobbies undisturbed. They value the predictability and security of this space, so be certain not to violate any boundaries. Ask before cleaning their space or moving any of their things. If you are the type of person that craves spontaneity, dating a routine-oriented nerd might seem challenging. However, you can still do spontaneous things with your partner, like traveling, by combining more spontaneous activities with more structured activities. For example, if you want to go on vacation with your partner, have a balance of very structured, highly scheduled days, and days that are more laid back. This might sound counterintuitive. Shouldn't the nerd be explaining to you? The truth is, you'll probably know more about many subjects than your partner. Nerds tend to specialize in one area of knowledge, which means you'll probably know...

TL;DR in English: Take an interest in your partner's passions. Don't try to “cure” them. Respect your partner's routine. Find a balance between spontaneity and routine. Be prepared to explain mainstream pursuits. Take an interest in their friends.

To record your cassette audio on your computer, you will need to connect your cassette player to your computer's microphone (or "line-in") port and then set your computer to record only the line-in audio. This will prevent your computer from recording external audio (e.g., background noise) while creating a clean, high-quality recording of your cassette. In addition to a cassette deck and a computer, you will also need a cable that connects your cassette deck to the line input on your computer.  Almost all cassette decks have a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you'll usually only need a standard 3.5mm cable to connect the deck to your computer. Some cassette decks have unbalanced line outputs. You'll recognize those as having red and white ports. For these, you will need an RCA-to-3.5mm cable. High-end cassette decks may sport balanced line outputs, with dual 3-pin XLR-F connectors or balanced 1/4" phone jacks. You will need to buy an adapter that fits both your computer's 3.5mm jack and the cassette deck's outputs. On computers that have separate headphone and microphone ports, this jack will usually be pink. If your computer only has one 3.5mm headphone jack, it supports both line-in and line-out audio.  Desktop computer users will usually find this jack either on the back or the front of the computer's tower. Laptop computers almost always have a monophonic line-in and line-out jack. This means that, while you can use the jack for transferring your cassette deck's audio, you won't be able to record in stereo. If you're connecting a balanced line output from your cassette deck to your computer, you'll need to plug the 3.5mm end of the adapter into your computer's line-in jack. Skip this step if you're connecting either a 3.5mm cassette deck or an unbalanced cassette deck. Depending on the cassette deck type, this process will vary:   3.5mm — Plug one end (it doesn't matter which one) of the 3.5mm cable into your cassette deck's 3.5mm line-out (not headphone) port.  Unbalanced — Plug the red RCA cable into the red...

TL;DR in English: Understand how cassette recording works. Gather your materials. Find your computer's "line-in" jack. Connect an adapter to your computer if necessary. Connect one end of your cable to your cassette deck. Connect the other end of your cable to your computer. Adjust your computer's sound levels. Make sure all of your cables are snug.

If you arrive at the conclusion that the only way forward is to uninvite the person, do so with tact. The most courteous method to do this would be in-person. Ask the individual to meet with you in private.  You might invite them out for lunch or coffee and have a chat. Say, “Uncle Tom, how about you and I go out for coffee on Tuesday. I need to talk to you about something.” Choosing a public venue might decrease the odds of your relative becoming irate or making a scene. If your annoying relative lives out of town, arrange a time to talk with them on the telephone. Avoid uninviting guests through email or social media. Even if it’s hard, do your best to approach the issue in a mature way, which makes it more likely that you will be able to preserve your future relationship with this person. Prepare for the discussion beforehand. Review your pros and cons list. Develop a script to help you guide the conversation and rehearse it before the meeting. When you have the conversation, aim to be polite yet firm. Avoid vague language. Explain your rationale with brief and direct language.  You might say, “I’m glad you chose to meet with me Uncle Tom. This is hard for me to do, but I know it’s the right decision. Since you and Dad are still on bad terms, I think it’s best if you don’t attend the wedding. My fiancé and I really want the event to be calm and low-key. And you two haven’t even been able to stay in a room together without arguing lately. I hope you understand.”  Chances are, if this person has gotten into trouble for their behavior or have a history of inappropriate conduct, they will probably understand your decision. Saying “I’m sorry” sends the message that you’re wrong and makes it seem like you are taking ownership of their bad behavior. If you are uninviting a relative because of their behavior, don’t feel bad. You aren’t responsible for other adults’ behavior, but you are responsible for the satisfaction of your other guests at the event. If you’re worried that the person will ruin the affair, don’t...

If you're really familiar with snakes, and you know that what you've caught is a garter snake or another nonvenomous snake, you might be able to get away with touching it. But if you're at all unsure what type of snake you've caught, don't take the chance. Wild snakes don't much like to be handled, anyway. Gently carry the entire trap to your vehicle and put it in the trunk or another enclosed area so you can transport it.  Don't shake the trap or poke at the snake. Handle it with care. You might want to keep small children and pets away from the trap while you're handling it, just to be on the safe side. If you let the snake go too close to your house, it will find its way back to its home territory. Release the snake at least a mile from your home if you want to make sure it doesn't come back. However, if you trapped the snake in your house and you don't mind if it lives outdoors in the yard, you can just walk outside to release it there. The snake will have the best chance at surviving without disturbing other people if you release it in a natural area. Go to a state park or another area without a lot of people living close by to release the snake. This way it won't end up in someone else's garden. Freeing a snake is not usually dangerous; in most cases, the snake will be happy to slither away and leave you alone. But just in case, wear long pants and gloves when you're freeing the snake. Watch the snake carefully and be ready to move out of the way if it decides to strike. Depending on which kind of trap you used, there are two different ways to free a snake:  If you used a reusable glue trap, unlatch the lid of the box and open it up. Pour vegetable oil over the snake's body, making sure to cover the entire are that's attached to the glue. The trap is designed so that the snake will be able to wiggle free from the glue once the oil gets between the snake's skin and the bottom of the trap. By this time you should be standing a fair distance from the trap so you aren't blocking the snake as it leaves the...

TL;DR in English: Don't attempt to touch the snake. Drive at least a mile from your house. Go to a natural area without many residences nearby. Free the snake. Kill the snake only as a last resort.

If you search the person's full name online, you may pull up newspaper obituaries or other information about them that will lead you to a date of death. This type of search typically yields better results if the person has a somewhat unusual name.  Even if the person has a relatively common name, you can filter out less relevant results by including other information about the person. For example, if you know the town where they were born, you can add that town name. An obituary typically would list where the person was born. If you know the names of other people who were related to that person or survived that person, adding those names can also help you narrow your search results. If you're trying to find out when someone died who lived hundreds of years ago, genealogy sites may be your best bet. Many of these sites have compiled data and records going back hundreds of years.  For example, ancestry.com has a global grave index available at https://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=60541. This database indexes cemetery and burial details going back to the 1300s. You'll get better search results if you have a lot of information about the person. Otherwise, be prepared to sift through numerous results. Many governments provide at least limited access to digitized government databases online. Do an online search for "death index" or "death records" with the name of the country the person was from.  If you believe the person died more recently, or at least within the past 50 years, government databases may have a record of the death. Older records may be spotty, especially if the country has been involved in war or civil strife, or had a significant change in government. For example, it may be more difficult to find out when someone died if they lived in Eastern Europe in the early 1900s. Local newspapers typically publish an obituary whenever there is a death. For many people, this may be the only record of their death that is available. If you can find the person's obituary, you can find out when they...

TL;DR in English: Start with a general search of the person's name. Try genealogy sites for older deaths. Check online government databases. Search newspaper obituaries.

Salmon only needs to be marinated for about 15–30 minutes. Start preparing the marinade an hour before you plan to eat, or even less, depending on your cooking method. Cooking methods are described at the end of this section. Place the lemon on a cutting board and slice it in half. Squeeze both lemon halves over a bowl.. Pour 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil into the bowl of lemon juice. Add 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) dried thyme, and stir the ingredients together with a spoon until well mixed. Another popular version of this marinade uses dill instead of thyme. Select a dish large enough that all your salmon fillets can fit into it side by side. You may need to use several dishes if you are doubling or tripling the recipe. Alternatively, use a large zip locked bag. Lay the salmon fillets in the dish containing the marinade. Turn them a couple times to make sure each side is covered.  Food safety experts recommend that you do not wash raw salmon or other raw meat before preparing. Cooking the meat is more effective at killing bacteria, and rinsing the meat is likely to spread the bacteria onto your sink or other places in your kitchen.  Wash your hands with soap and warm water for twenty seconds after handling raw meat. Unlike red meat and poultry, fish can develop an unpleasant texture during a lengthy marination process. For an acidic marinade such as this one, based on lemon juice, keep the salmon in the marinade for no longer than 30 minutes. Flip the salmon over once during this time to ensure that both sides of the fish are marinated. Transfer the fish to another container. Discard the remaining liquid. If you wish to use the marinade as a sauce, first bring it to a boil in order to kill harmful bacteria from the raw meat. After the salmon has been marinated, it can be prepared in a number of ways. Two popular options are grilling the salmon wrapped in foil, or baking it on a foil-lined baking sheet. In either case, cook the fillets at 400ºF (200ºC) for about fifteen minutes. The salmon is ready when a fork can easily...

TL;DR in English: Start this process 30–60 minutes before you plan to eat. Squeeze the lemon juice into a bowl. Mix in the other ingredients. Pour the marinade into a wide dish. Place the salmon in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes, turning once. Remove the fish from the marinade. Cook the salmon.

In early math, you worked only with numbers. Learning algebra is about being able to solve problems with unknown terms. These unknown terms are represented in the problems with letters. You need to get used to treating these letters like numbers, although you may not know their actual value yet. Some common examples of variables include:  Letters, such as x{\displaystyle x}, y{\displaystyle y} or z{\displaystyle z}  Greek symbols, such as θ{\displaystyle \theta }, α{\displaystyle \alpha } or σ{\displaystyle \sigma }. Be aware that some symbols might look like variables but are actually known numbers. For example, the Greek symbol pi, π{\displaystyle \pi }, stands for the number 3.1415. If you think of the phrase, “Two times some number,” you can express that with a variable as 2∗x{\displaystyle 2*x}. The variable x{\displaystyle x} takes the place of the unknown “some number.” Usually, your job in an algebra problem is to find the value of the variable. For example, when you start with the equation 4+x=9{\displaystyle 4+x=9}, you need to think, “What number added to 4 will make 9?” The solution is 5, which you can write algebraically as x=5{\displaystyle x=5}. When you learn to treat the variables as numbers, you can combine or simplify them as you do with numbers. This is usually referred to as “combining like terms.”  For example, 2x+3x=10{\displaystyle 2x+3x=10} just means that 2 of some variable added to 3 of the same variable will equal 10. If you have 2 of something and 3 of the same thing, you can add them together. Then, 2x+3x{\displaystyle 2x+3x} will become 5x, so your problem is 5x=10{\displaystyle 5x=10}, and the solution is x=2{\displaystyle x=2}. You can only add or subtract the same variable. Some algebra problems may contain two or more variables. In the problem 2x+3y=10{\displaystyle 2x+3y=10}, you cannot combine the x{\displaystyle x} and y{\displaystyle y} terms together because the different variables represent different unknown numbers.

The motherboard is the large green board that all of the drives are connected to. It unplugs from the motherboard the same way that it did for the DVD and hard drives. Grip the large connector firmly and pull one side up at a 45°angle, then pull the other side up. It will be difficult to remove if you try pulling straight up. You can grip the connector with pliers if you have difficulty. There are two connectors that will need to be removed in order to pull the motherboard out. Remove each connector and make note of where it was plugged in.  There is a yellow cable connecting the motherboard to the case fan, the power switch and the reset switch. There is also a cable that connects the USB ports to the motherboard. These screws are located in various places around the board. If you are looking at the motherboard from the front of the Xbox, five screws are located above the CPU fan, five screws are located below, and one screw is several inches to the right of the fan. Remove the screws with a Torx 10 screwdriver. Place your fingers around the edges inside the case and lift straight up and out. Be sure to set the motherboard somewhere where it won't get damaged while it is out of the case.

TL;DR in English: Identify the motherboard. Locate and remove the IDE cable from the motherboard. Remove the power cord from the motherboard. Remove the connectors. Find the 11 screws that hold the motherboard into place. Extract the motherboard.

Twitter and Tumblr make it easy to be completely unfiltered in a very public way. If you're going to rant hard on a subject that you feel passionately about, feel free to do it, but don't post it online until you've had a chance to think about it for a while.  Good rule of thumb: give it 24 hours. If you still feel the same way about the issue, and just as passionately, and are willing to stand behind it if you're called into question, post it. If you were called onto national television and asked to defend your opinion, would you want to do it? If the answer is no, you might think twice about posting it for all the world to see online. Ever see the video of protesters holding anti-Socialism signs who are asked to define Socialism, and can't? You don't want to be them. You'll be on a fast-track to embarrassing yourself if you go out and start ranting about an issue you know nothing about. Get smart before you start making noise. Again, it can't be stressed enough, if you're not informed about a particular issue, we don't need your opinion about it. Keep it to yourself. Ad-hominem attacks are directed at the character of a particular person, not the work or the words that came from that person. It's a good idea to mock the creator of "Two and a Half Men" for the terrible show he's responsible for, but not because "he has a dumb face and bad clothes." That doesn't have anything to do with the subject at hand. Avoid the temptation to attack the character. . Your rant has to make sense, even if it's running on its passion. Be familiar with the basics of creating an argument and sustain it with good points and logic, or your rant will fall apart. Every argument should include:  A clear thesis Supporting evidence Good examples Warrants and backing logic A summary or conclusion It's important that you save a good rant for something that you're going to be able to dismantle with surgical precision, not something that just rubs you the wrong way and which you feel like making noise about. The bus was late again? Ok,...

TL;DR in English: Let it sit before you make it public. Address the issue from an intelligent point of view. Don't make it personal. Avoid logical fallacies Don't rant just to rant. Keep it as clean as possible.

When you're doing the backstroke, you want your body to lay as flat on the surface of the water as possible. The smaller your profile in the water, the less resistance you'll feel as you swim and the easier it will be to go fast. Most people have a hard time getting their hips to float on the surface of the water, so they sink down a little below the surface. This is OK but try to keep your hips as close to the surface as possible. It will be easier to keep yourself flat once you are moving. The backstroke (like most swimming strokes) is all about making the most efficient use of your energy possible. One easy way to do this is to let your head sit semi-submerged in the water. The water should cover your ears almost completely. It may touch the corners of your face, but it shouldn't be getting into your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you don't like the feeling of the water covering your ears, consider investing in a swimming cap or a set of swimmer's earplugs. Trying to keep your ears out of the water will tire out your neck and spend energy that you could be using to swim. As soon as you're in position on your back, start kicking. Your legs should be straightened, close together, and lined up below your hips. Use short kicking motions to propel yourself forward. As you raise one leg, kick the other down (and vice versa). For best results, keep your legs straight and kick from your hips rather than from your knees. This will give you more power and prevent you from getting sore knees. As you start to kick forward, keep your arms at your sides. Reach one arm up in front of you. It should point toward the sky or ceiling. Bring it up over your head, by your ear, and down into the water — it will be pointing in the direction you're traveling. When your arm hits the water, bring it down and scull outward to propel yourself forward. As you do this, raise the other arm and perform the same motion. Repeat. This should feel natural. Try to keep a steady rhythm between your arms and legs because that will make your swimming...

TL;DR in English: Keep your body flat like a plank. Be comfortable with the water covering the sides of your head. Use a "flutter" kick. Use a long, fluid arm motion. Position your hands to minimize resistance. Rotate your shoulders and hips with each stroke.

Sapphires come in blues, with the lightest being Sweden princess blue and the darkest being navy or black. The most prized color is royal blue, which is in the middle of the scale. As the most prized, however, it is also the most expensive. Camelot and commodore blues, which are one shade lighter and darker, respectively, are similar in hue but slightly more affordable. Blue sapphires can be pure blue, or they can be tinted by green or purple. By value, pure blue ranks highest with slight purple tints following shortly after. Strong purple hues and any green hue are generally considered undesirable. Transparency is often overlooked when buying sapphires, but the more transparent a stone is, the more brilliant it will look. Transparent stones can also be expensive, though. Fully transparent and semi-transparent stones allow the most light to pass through. Translucent sapphires allow light to pass through, but obscure objects, making it a good compromise between transparency quality and budget. Semi-opaque and opaque stones allow little to no light to pass through. While blue is the most common color for a sapphire, these gemstones also come in several other colors. Padparadscha sapphires, which are orange-pink, are rare and considered valuable. Pink sapphires are also popular.  Colorless, yellow, and green sapphires are significantly less prized. Where a sapphire was mined can have a huge impact on its overall cost. Sapphires mined in Kashmir, Mogok, Burma, and Ceylon are usually more prized than those mined elsewhere. Typically, that is because the quality of sapphires coming from these mines is higher than those coming from most other locations. This is not always true, though, and paying for origin is a little like paying for a brand name. You can save money by purchasing quality sapphires from "lesser" mines. Cut does not refer to the shape of the stone. Rather, it refers to the facets on a gem's surface, which allow light and color to shine through at their best.  A deep cut sapphire has better color,...

Try different forms of vitamins such as liquids or capsules and dosages to figure out what is less likely to cause your stomach to be upset. To decrease the likelihood of stomach upset from vitamins, never take more than indicated on the label or that is prescribed by your doctor. Some medicines and vitamins interact with caffeine found in coffee or tea.  Caffeine can also change the way your body absorbs vitamins.  Caffeine may interfere with the absorption of vitamins like calcium, vitamin D, Iron, vitamin B, and others. You should take your vitamins on a regular schedule and at the same time of day. You can set an alarm to avoid forgetting or taking vitamins late. You can also take your vitamins immediately following dinner, if you eat a consistent time, to follow a consistent time table.

TL;DR in English: Experiment on the mode of vitamin. Exercise common sense. Skip the caffeine while taking certain vitamins. Be consistent.

Once you have completed and checked all of your paperwork, you will be ready to file. To file the forms, you should try to get help from the prison's legal service. Bring all of the required paperwork with you and say that you want to file divorce papers.   Your prison's legal service should file the papers for you. They should also give you the documents that you will need along with proof that they filed the forms. If your prison does not have a legal services program that handles divorces, ask a trustworthy friend or family member to file the papers for you with the clerk of the court where you will be getting divorced. Your spouse must receive notice of the divorce proceedings in order for the court to proceed with the case. You can either serve the divorce papers on your spouse by certified mail or in person.  To serve the papers by mail, you will need to pay to have the papers sent by certified mail. If it is sent by certified mail, your spouse will have to sign for the papers. To serve the papers in person, hire a process server or have someone you trust personally hand a copy of the summons and complaint to your spouse. The person who serves the papers to your spouse must be 18 years or older. You cannot serve your spouse with the divorce papers. After your spouse has been served with the divorce papers, you will need to file an affidavit of service. This document will need to be signed by the person who delivered the divorce papers to your spouse. If you sent the papers by certified mail, then you will need to sign the affidavit. After filing the papers for divorce, your spouse can respond in several ways.  Your spouse can decide “agree to” the divorce, meaning that the divorce is “uncontested.” This makes the rest of the divorce process much easier than the other options. In an uncontested divorce, the parties do not have to appear in court over the divorce proceedings, although they may still need to appear in court to determine any property divisions or child custody or child support issues.Keep...

This one is easy to remember, as the symbol looks just like a clothes iron. You can iron as usual, without any special considerations.  If this symbol contains one dot, iron at a low temperature.  If this symbol contains two dots, iron at a medium temperature.  If this symbol contains three dots, iron at a high temperature. Do not iron with steam if the garment contains a label with a symbol of an iron with an X over lines coming out of the bottom. Think of the lines coming out of the iron as steam or water to help you remember the symbol. Use only dry heat, as the steam may damage or ruin the fabric. Do not iron the garment if the label contains a symbol of an iron with an X through it. If the item has wrinkles, tumble-dry it if the label allows. You could also hang it in the bathroom while taking a steamy shower, which will help the wrinkles disappear.

Often an interviewer will ask you a question to get more information about your personality, aptitude, and experience. Sometimes the question is aimed at learning something that isn't apparent. Think about the actual meaning behind each question before you give your response, and cater your answer to what they are actually asking. Blaming past coworkers for your own shortcomings could signal to the employer that you don't take responsibility for your actions and aren't a team player. Instead, talk about how their communication or management style didn't mesh well with yours, and emphasize how you were able to adapt and accomplish goals, even though this was so.  If the interviewer asks "What did you dislike most about your last boss?" they want to understand your expectations of management and understand which management styles you have trouble working with. You can answer "Tell me about your worst boss" by saying something like "I had a boss who communicated differently than me. I learned that you have to be able to adapt to different personalities if you want a project to get done on time." If they ask, "Why are you better than anyone else for this job?" they are looking to gauge your level of confidence and humility to see if you can fulfill expectations while still being a team player. Talk about your experience and why it makes you capable, but also talk about your passion for learning and getting better at your job. You can say something like "I have a decade of experience, and I work well with other people. Also, you won't meet a person more passionate about this than I am." Sometimes an interview will contain specific questions regarding your industry. These questions are designed to see if you understand the current standards and practices of the industry as well as your experience level. Make sure to have a solid grasp of the specific technical and operational aspects of your potential job. Jobs, where you may be expected to have an intimate knowledge of your industry, include biotech, pharma,...

TL;DR in English: Evaluate the meaning behind the question. Don't talk badly about past co-workers. Have humility and confidence when answering questions about yourself. Give specifics when asked questions about your industry. Understand the person interviewing you.
