Use citrus fruit peels. Use baking soda and vinegar. Rinse with a little bleach. Use Borax.

A French kiss shouldn’t just come out of nowhere. It should happen naturally at a time when two people are sharing an intimate and private moment together, and that means being physically close. To help set the mood, start by finding a way to be alone with the person so you can get close without other people hanging around and interrupting.   If you two are at a party, go for a walk or find somewhere quiet that you can talk. If you're hanging out together, sit down beside the person on a couch, chair, or bench. You can tell your partner that you're interested without saying anything at all. Your partner will subconsciously pick up on your subtle cues, and this will indicate your attraction and desire. You can drop these hints by:  Parting your lips slightly and licking them Smoothing down your hair or clothing Raising your eyebrows slightly as your partner talks Touching your face frequently Orienting your entire body toward your partner Smile a lot Eye contact is another powerful element of body language, and when two people are physically close to each other and make frequent eye contact, this will raise the level of intimacy between them. Frequent eye contact will indicate your attraction, and help you assess whether the chemistry you feel is reciprocated.   For instance, if your partner keeps looking away instead of making eye contact, it’s possible that person is just nervous, but it might also be a sign of lack of interest. On the other hand, if your partner keeps locking eyes with you, this is a good sign that whatever you're feeling is definitely mutual! This gentle and sensual touch will establish a physical connection between the two of you, and make the kiss much easier. Make sure you gage how the person reacts:   Leaning in or pressing into your hand is a sign of interest that says your gesture is welcome. Pulling away is a sign that physical contact isn't welcome. Don’t forget to offer some to your partner. Not only will this ensure fresh breath and a pleasant kiss, but it’s also another great...

TL;DR in English: Get close. Use your body language to flirt. Make frequent eye contact. Brush the person’s cheek. Grab some gum or mints.

The equipment for tetherball is relatively simple. Each court is composed of a ball on a rope attached to a ten foot pole. The court is divided into two sides, one for each player, that should evenly divide the pole in half. Your goal when playing tetherball is to hit the ball with your hand in a way that gets it past your opponent so that the rope winds completely around the tetherball pole. The tetherball court is divided in half and is usually marked off by chalk or a line in the cement. If there are no markers for the side boundaries, be sure to ask other players. You will be expected to stay on your side of the court while facing your opponent. Going off-sides will result in the offending player getting a penalty. Opposite of soccer rules, tetherball requires you to only touch the ball with your hands. Touching the ball with another part of your body can result in a penalty against you. Open, closed, or double handed strikes are allowed - use what works best for you! A popular house rule, sometimes called "beach tetherball," allows for the use of any part of the body during play. Using the rope, a player can launch the ball in a way that makes it difficult for opposing players to return. This is why touching the rope is considered an illegal move. Touching the tetherball pole is also illegal and will result in the immediate loss of the game for the player who touched it. A common house rule allows players to hold the rope where it meets the ball only when serving. This might seem obvious, but violating this rule can be tempting. By holding the ball for a split second, you can redirect it out of the reach of your opponent, which is illegal and referred to as "carrying."  All contact between you and the ball should result in it bouncing off your hands right away, otherwise it is considered a rule violation. Unless a house rule says otherwise, serves must also be hit and not thrown or "carried." Each time the ball crosses onto your side of the court, you are allowed a single hit. The one exception to this...

TL;DR in English: Know your goal. Stay on your side. Use your hands. Avoid touching the rope or pole. Strike the ball to return it to your opponent. Make your hits count. Ask other players about house rules. Award penalties for breaking the rules. Pole drop the tetherball for double violations.

Talking in class is a whole different ballgame, and what might seem awkward or unusual during informal conversations is sometimes perfectly appropriate and even expected in the classroom setting. The best example of this is group discussions, when it's perfectly appropriate to write out, or pre-plan comments that you might want to share with the class. In general, it can be hard to remember to bring up points you might have thought of while doing the reading in English class, or questions you had about the homework during math, so write these out and bring them up next time you're in class. Nothing wrong with a script for school. The best way to contribute to class is to ask questions. Any time you don't understand something, or feel like you're unclear about an issue or topic, raise your hand and ask a question. It's a rule of thumb that any time one student doesn't get it, there are probably five more who don't have the guts to raise their hand. Be the brave one. Only ask questions that benefit the group, or that apply to the group. It's not appropriate to raise your hand to ask, "Why did I get a B on this?" If you're having a group discussion and are struggling for something to say, there's usually good opportunities to piggy-back on other students comments, which has the effect of making it look like you're saying something, even if you're really not. Wait for someone to say something that sounds good, then chip in with, "I agree" and paraphrase it in your own words. Easy comment points. Get in the habit of working things that have already been said and translating it into your own version of what was said, adding bits and pieces to it as you go. This is a great way to contribute to class without really having anything to say that wasn't already said. Of course, it's better if you add a little, to make it worth your teacher's while.  If someone says, "I think this book is really about the family dynamics and the bad stuff they're all hiding, you know?" get your translation cap on and polish up the...

TL;DR in English: Plan out a comment. Ask a question. Agree with another student's comment. Paraphrase. Aim for at least one contribution per class period.

A great natural way to freshen up your garbage disposal and leave your kitchen smelling great is to grind up a handful of citrus peels. Any citrus fruit will do -- orange, lemon, grapefruit, lime. The citric acid in the peels will clean the blades and eliminate odors. Afterwards, add some spice, rosemary oil, or lavender oil for an even fresher scent. Baking soda and vinegar make a great odor-busting combo. Sprinkle half a cup of baking soda into the drain, then gently pour a cup of white vinegar on top. The mixture will fizzle and bubble. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse it down with very hot or boiling water, with the garbage disposal running. Bleach is very effective at killing germs and will quickly freshen up your drain., however you don't want to use too much of it as it can also harden any grease in your disposal unit, making it difficult to remove.  Dilute a tablespoon of liquid chlorine bleach in a gallon of water and slowly pour it into your garbage disposal. Allow the bleach to sit there for a minute or two, then turn on the hot water tap and leave it running for several minutes to flush away the bleach. Borax is a safe and natural cleaning product which will effectively clean the garbage disposal and minimize odors. Simply put 3 or 4 tablespoon of Borax into the garbage disposal and allow to sit for about an hour. Then flush away with very hot or boiling water.

It’s best to practice on an empty stomach. However, if you're starving to the point where you feel weak or fuzzy-headed, eat something light like a piece of fruit, a handful of nuts, or a small cup of yogurt about 20 minutes beforehand. You can always eat a nutritious feast afterward! Stick to whole foods without a lot of oils, trans fats, or simple carbs because these will make you feel sluggish and may cause your belly to be upset. Keep your portion sizes in check before you practice because eating too much can make it uncomfortable to breathe deeply into your belly. Whether you need to go or not, it's a good idea to use the restroom before you sit down to meditate because yoga can stimulate your bowels and bladder. That way, you're more comfortable and you won't have to pause your session to use the bathroom. Do any cleansing rituals like washing your hands, feet, or face if that helps you relax.  If you do have to get up to use the restroom, do so. Be gentle with yourself (i.e., don’t judge yourself for having to pause) and take care of your body’s needs. Yoga poses that open up your hips, sides, and belly are especially helpful if you have irritable bowel disorder or other gastrointestinal issues.

TL;DR in English: Don't eat a heavy meal before you plan to practice. Use the bathroom and wash your hands, feet, and face if you like.

Think about the things that need to happen as part of the process you are trying to describe. Write down as many parts of the process as you can to get started. This is a pre-writing strategy called "listing." As you do so, try to break down the process into small, easy to understand steps. For example, if you want to explain how to make pasta, then you might write down:  Get out a pot and fill it with water. Put pot on stove and turn the heat on high. Get out pasta. Add pasta to water. Turn the heat down slightly. Cook for the time indicated on the package. Drain pasta into a colander in the sink. Once you have a basic list of steps that your readers will need to complete, look over them and make sure that they are in order. Consider whether it would make more sense to give one of your steps earlier or later in the sequence.  For example, if you are describing the process of making pasta, then you might think about whether it makes more sense to tell readers to get out the pasta before or after the water is heating up. If the process that you are describing is something that is quite complicated or that you can do without thinking about, then you may need to spend more time considering the logic of your steps. For example, if you are an experienced drummer trying to describe how to do a drum roll, then you might have to sit down at your drum set and do a few drum rolls. As you perform the steps in your process, think about what happens first, second, third, etc. Compare this sequence with your list of steps. Think about the process again and try to determine if there is any information missing from the process. Try to determine if there is anything that readers will need to do before they can complete one of your steps.  For example, you might advise your readers to set a timer when adding the pasta to the water. Or, you might advise readers to check a piece of pasta before draining the whole pot. Try reading off your steps to a friend to see if there is anything you missed. Do not elaborate on anything you...

TL;DR in English: Break down the process. Place your steps in order. Determine if you need to offer any additional information. Expand on your steps. Provide examples. Offer troubleshooting advice.

There are many signs and symptoms of scabies. The most common and earliest one is intense itching.  The itching represents sensitization, a type of allergic reaction, to the adult female mites, their eggs, and their waste. Itching tends to be more severe at night and has the potential to interrupt the sleep of infested individuals. Along with the itching, you may develop a rash. The rash also represents an allergic reaction to the mite. The rash is typically described as pimple-like with surrounding inflammation and redness.  Mites prefer to burrow into the skin in certain parts of the body.  The most common places that adults can have an itchy rash associated with scabies are the hands, especially the webbing between the fingers, the skin folds of the wrist, elbow, or knee, the buttocks, the waist, the penis, the skin around the nipples, the armpits, the shoulder blades, and the breasts.  In children, the most common sites of infestation include the scalp, face, neck, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. When you have scabies, tiny burrows are sometimes visible on the skin. These appears as tiny raised and crooked grayish-white or skin-colored lines on the surface of the skin. They are usually a centimeter or more in length. Burrows may be difficult to find as most people have only 10 to 15 mites in an average infestation. The intense itching caused by scabies sometimes leads to sores on the skin. The sores are at high risk for infection, which is often a complication of scabies. The sores are most often infected with bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, or beta-hemolytic streptococci, which predominate on the skin.   These bacteria can also lead to inflammation of the kidneys and sometimes sepsis, which is a life-threatening bacterial infection of the blood.  To avoid this, try to be gentle on your skin and do not scratch it. If you can't help yourself, consider wearing mittens or wrapping your fingertips with band-aids to keep yourself from damaging the skin. Keep your nails trimmed short. Signs...

Learn the different sleep stages. Observe your dog’s eye movements. Watch your dog’s body movements. Listen to your dog’s vocalizations.

If you are expecting a layover, bring a book or magazine with you. If you find yourself book-less, check out one of the airport shops and purchase something there. Choose something you find engrossing; getting lost in the pages will pass the time more quickly. Have a few options on hand so you can switch back and forth when you feel like it. For instance, buy one of your favorite magazines to read when you need breaks from a dense novel. Switching gears occasionally may prevent you from getting bored with even the most thrilling of books. Getting some shut-eye is a great way to pass the time, especially during overnight layovers. Even a quick power nap can leave you feeling refreshed. If you’re traveling with other people, ask them to watch your stuff while you sleep. Do this with caution if you’re traveling by yourself, since airport theft does happen.  Some airports have designated sleeping areas with comfy chairs where you can secure your belongings. If you’re truly exhausted and facing a long layover, check out the room pricing at the airport hotel. Some airports even offer rooms that you can rent out for a few hours at a time. If you are between one long flight and another, walk around the airport and restore circulation to your legs. Many airports include public exhibits. Otherwise, you can window-shop, read regional billboards, watch airplanes, or simply look around and locate your next flight’s gate. Get some fresh air if you can. Most airports have restaurants and snack bars, even inside security. A meal will give you energy, and it will taste better and likely cost less on the ground than it would in the air. It's easy to get dehydrated when you're traveling, so grab a bottle of water or another of your favorite beverages. Find out what your airport offers before grabbing something from the closest fast food chain. Some have extremely nice restaurants with gourmet offerings. If you don’t have one with you, pick up a blank journal from one of the bookstores in the airport. You can document your...

In some cases, resistance to moving forward is caused by the horse being in pain. If it is painful when the horse steps, it will decide to avoid that movement whenever possible. So, do a thorough assessment of its health yourself. You can also get your veterinarian to look the horse over as well. Common injuries that can make a horse resistant to moving include problems with its hooves or its leg muscles. Start moving the horse in a different direction if your horse won't move straight forward. Try backing up the horse and then having it move forward. You could move the horse in a different direction and then gradually turn it in the direction you originally wanted to go.  For example, tighten the reins on one side to make your horse turn its head. While doing that, tighten your calves around the horse and ask it to move forward. At first, make the horse move in small circles. Then, reduce the pressure on the reins a little bit, just enough to make the circles a little bigger. Gradually, you can release the rest of the tension on the reins and straighten out the horse. Once your horse becomes more willing to go straight, give it the command to go forward. This will reinforce that the command is associated with that type of movement. There are some people who say that we must show horses "who's boss." However, horses are amazingly smart and they pick up on clear and compassionate discipline better than brute force. For instance, instead of lashing out in anger when a horse misbehaves, apply moderate pressure with your legs to redirect a horse and stand your ground until the horse falls in line.   A good rule of thumb is to avoid doing anything to your horse that causes it pain or injury, even if the pain is only temporary. It is better to use repetition and positive reinforcement to get a horse to follow your commands. You will have a much easier time if you train a horse kindly rather than scaring it into submission. Continue training until your horse will reliably move forward when asked. If you have a very...

TL;DR in English: Check the horse's health. Use alternative movements to get where you need to go. Avoid using excessive punishment. Do repeated training sessions. Coax the horse with treats.

It is recommended that women wear one-piece swimsuits and men wear swim trunks. In addition to getting wet during the raft excursion, many whitewater rafting trips include an opportunity to take a dip at some point during the trip. Wet suits are also often available to rent at the outfitter’s in cooler weather. Over your swimsuit, wear a lightweight shirt with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating of 30 or higher. When packing, choose loose, woven materials such as wool, polypro, fleece, micro fleece, polyester or any other outdoor material that dries quickly.  Avoid any cotton clothing, especially in cooler weather. It will weigh you down and increase the release of body heat.   Do not wear anything with a hood, including ponchos and rain jackets. These are unsafe on the river.   In cooler weather, opt for a synthetic base layer, such as Capilene or polypropylene, a middle layer of fleece, and an outer waterproof jacket. If the weather is very cold, add wool socks and fleece hat that can be worn under a helmet. It's not worth the risk of losing them in the water. Cash, wallets and phones can also be left in the car. Seasoned guides will tell you sunglasses are absolutely necessary to protect your eyes from the continuous glare on the water. Bring or buy a strap for your sunglasses to keep them snugly fitted. Comfortable, well-broken-in sneakers are the best choice for your river trip. Velcro-strap sandals with a thick, rigid sole may also be worn with or without socks, however, socks are recommended as they prevent your feet from getting a sunburn. Do not pack a new pair of shoes, which will leave you sore and cause blisters. Waterproof hiking boots are also not recommended, since they fill with water and weigh you down. Water shoes are often too thin and slippery.  Avoid crocs and flip flops, which are easily lost. If a rafter shows up wearing only flip flops, a guide might offer to secure them with duct tape. Even if you do not swim, you will be very wet at the end of the day and will welcome a...

TL;DR in English: Bring a swimsuit. Pack waterproof layers. Leave jewelry, watches and accessories at home. Wear sunglasses. Wear old tennis shoes or close-toed heel-strap sandals. Pack dry clothes and a towel. Pack a wide-brimmed sun hat. Buy a large 32-oz water bottle---or even two. Bring sunscreen.

Just like people, dogs have different stages of sleep: short wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM). REM is considered to be the “sleep of body,” when the body is relaxed but the mind is very active. Dogs dream during REM.  SWS is known as the “sleep of the mind,” when brain activities have decreased, but muscle tone is still present.  It would be somewhat difficult to wake up your dog during the REM sleep stage, but he would probably wake up more easily during SWS. Dogs tend to start dreaming about 20 minutes after they fall asleep. Rapid eye movement is one of the most obvious signs that your dog is dreaming. If you look closely enough, you may be able to see your dog’s eyes moving under his eyelids. This movement is due to your dog actually seeing his dream images as if they were happening in real life. Your dog’s eyes may be fully or partially closed when he is dreaming. Quite naturally, dogs dream about typical dog activities (e.g., running,digging a hole and fighting with an imaginary burglar). His body movements when he is dreaming will likely reflect what is happening in his dream. For example, if he is running and/or chasing after something in his dream, you’ll probably see all of his legs moving in a running motion.  Your dog’s movements will likely be gentle and intermittent when he is dreaming, even if he is ‘running.’ Your dog may also have occasional muscle twitches during his dream. These twitches will look jerky and will not last long. He will quickly fall back into a more relaxed state.  Even though your dog may move occasionally while he is dreaming, his overall body posture will suggest that he is relaxed and at peace. Your dog may begin to make various noises when he is dreaming. For example, he may bark, whine, or cry, depending on what he is dreaming about. Usually, these vocalizations will be brief and infrequent, and will not wake him from his dream.  Your dog may also breathe differently during a dream. For example, he may start to breathe rapidly or have brief periods when he...

Use a dry plastic or brass brush. Flick dirt and dust off of your saddle in quick strokes. Use a dry cloth to wipe your suede down.

Make butterfly cupcakes. Make unicorn cupcakes Try other decorating techniques!

Suede tends to get worn down when soap or water are introduced into the material, which means that you'll need a tougher brush to extract grime and dust. Opt for a clean, strong stiff-bristled brush. Hold the brush firmly in your dominant hand and use quick back-and-forth strokes to begin brushing your saddle. Brush each section that you wish to clean 5-10 times before moving to a different part of the saddle. Flick the brush away from you to avoid getting residue in your eyes as you knock it out. You can sit down and brace the saddle in your nondominant hand if you don't have a stable table or saddle stand to brush it on. Hold the cloth in your dominant hand and rub in circular motions across the entirety of your saddle. Check your cloth halfway through the cleaning process to see if it has become discolored at all. If it has, flip your towel over and use the opposite side for the remainder of the cleaning.  Wipe your saddle down again with a different cloth. Continue this process until your cloth is no longer getting dirty when you wipe with it. Avoid conditioning your suede saddle. Suede typically breaks down if you apply a finish. Don't use any oils, conditioners, or lacquers to your suede, as you'll risk permanently damaging your saddle.

You may have a master resume that includes all of your skills, education, and experience. However, the resume you give to each potential employer won't necessarily include everything. Only include skills and experience that are directly related to that job. Try to make your resume match the job listing as closely as possible.  Move sections around if needed so that the most important qualifications listed in the job description are at the top of the page. Rearrange your bullet points as well, putting the most relevant information first. Even if you're proud of a particular accomplishment, take it off your resume if it doesn't relate to the job in any way. Active, punchy text is essential in a resume, since the document will likely only be glanced at for a few seconds. Remove pronouns, articles, adjectives, and adverbs. The final statement should communicate only the action and the result of that action.  For example, suppose you worked as a barista at a café. You might include a bullet point that you maintained high sanitation standards. However, you want to make that as quantifiable as possible. You might say "Implemented new sanitation program; increased café health and sanitation score by 11%." Make your bullet points personal, rather than just rattling off the job description for the position. For example, if you were a retail sales associate, you might say "Exceeded all personal sales goals for 4 months" rather than "Sold clothing and accessories to customers." Don't rely solely on the grammar and spelling checkers built into your word processing app. Read through your resume several times to make sure it's error free. Reading out loud can also help you find errors or awkward wording.  Be careful with apostrophes and contractions. If you have difficulty with contractions and possessives, read what you've written as though you spelled the full words out rather than using an apostrophe and see if it makes sense. For example, you could easily find the error in the sentence "Trained sales staff and reported...

TL;DR in English: Tailor each resume to the specific job you're applying for. Edit your resume to eliminate excess words and create space. Proofread carefully before submitting your resume. Save your resume as a PDF file. Print copies of your resume to take to the interview.

In the United States, you’ll need to apprentice with a licensed falconer, typically for 2 years, in order obtain a falconer’s license. You may also need to pass a written test in order to acquire a license. The application process varies by state, so look online for your specific requirements.  Find the government department with jurisdiction over falconry licensing in your state at https://www.fws.gov/offices/statelinks.html. To find a licensed falconer, search online for your state’s falconry organization. In the U.S., apprentices are usually only allowed to own and train red-tailed hawks or American kestrels. After your 2-year apprenticeship, you’ll be able to obtain a general falconer’s license and keep falcons. To get your hawk or falcon acclimated, or manned, keep it in the house with you for a week or so. Keep it hooded at first to help avoid stressing it. Then gradually expose it to new sights and sounds, such as other members of your household and your hunting dog.  Spend as much time as possible with your bird during the acclimation period so it becomes used to your presence. When exposing it to new stimuli, observe its behavior. If it freezes or appears agitated, place the hood over its head to calm it. When it’s not hooded, look for signs that your falcon is starting to relax, such as pruning or bathing. During the manning process, tether your bird on a short creance, which is like a leash for raptors. Your mentor, or the falconer you’re apprenticing with, can guide you through manning and show you how to handle and hood your bird. After 1 or 2 days, your falcon should start to get used to its new surroundings. At that point, put on your glove and place a 1 inch (2.5 cm) tidbit of raw meat on it. Hold the glove near the falcon’s perch and make a signal noise, like a whistle or click.  Allow your hawk or falcon to step onto you glove and eat. Continue practicing for about 30 minutes so it gets comfortable eating in front of you. As it steps up reliably, try asking it come to your glove from...

TL;DR in English: Acquire all falconry licenses required by your jurisdiction. Get your bird accustomed to its new environment gradually. Put a piece of meat on the glove to train your bird to step up. Begin tossing food to the ground when it jumps on your glove.

Trampolines are great to practice on, as are gymnastics floors, which have springs built in underneath them. It can be helpful to practice on a tumble track while you're learning, which has more give than a gymnastics floor but isn't quite as bouncy as a regular trampoline. Use these softer surfaces to practice good technique and build more confidence while you perfect your roundoff.  If you’re new to gymnastics or to the roundoff, work with a spotter until you’re comfortable. You can even buy mats to use at home if you want to practice when you’re not at the gym. As you prepare for the roundoff, try visualizing yourself moving through the motions and pick a spot on the floor or trampoline where you’d like to land. This can help you get the right momentum and practice with good form as you begin the roundoff.  A roundoff looks just like a cartwheel but you land on two feet instead of one at a time. You generally need more power for a roundoff than for a cartwheel, and you should push off from the floor with your arms, unlike a cartwheel. If you aren’t sure of what the movement is supposed to look like, watch some videos online or ask for a demonstration from a peer. You need to gather momentum for the movement, so run forward a few steps. Swing your arms up so they’re by your ears and keep them as straight as possible. It can help to lead with your dominant foot and end your run with your dominant foot before you move into the roundoff. Try not to run too far before you start your roundoff, as this can actually make you lose some energy and momentum. This motion is kind of like doing a cartwheel where your body is turned slightly sideways. Move so that you plant your dominant hand on the ground first. Move with forward-motion to place your hands on the ground rather than jumping into the roundoff. Plant your hands firmly on the floor and briefly push up into a handstand while you flip yourself over. Position your body so that your shoulders, arms, and wrists are parallel to the ground.  Keep your legs as...

TL;DR in English: Use a trampoline or springy surface when you’re first learning the roundoff. Stand with your feet together and your arms at your sides. Lunge or run forward and raise your arms above your head. Reach your arms towards the ground as you hurdle forward. Bring your legs up over your body as your hands hit the floor. Land with your knees bent then jump into a straight-standing position. Practice jumping up after you land the roundoff.

When selecting a caulk for your shower, use one labeled "Tub and Tile" or "Kitchen and Bath," as these are chemically formulated to resist mildew and to stick to smooth surfaces like your shower. In particular, there are 2 types of caulk usually used for showers:  Silicone: This is a very flexible, tough, and waterproof caulk. On the downside, it can also be difficult to smooth and may require the use of mineral spirits to clean up. The color range can also be fairly limited. Acrylic latex: This caulk is easier to apply, clean up, and smooth out. It also comes in a wider range of colors. However, it dries harder and shrinks more than silicone caulk does, so acrylic latex caulk will probably have a shorter lifespan. Cheaper guns tend to be less predictable and may lead to sloppier application. A professional-grade gun applies more consistent pressure.  A cradle caulk gun will produce the best, most even pressure and is a better long-term investment than a frame caulk gun. If using the latter, though, get one that is labeled as being "dripless." A professional level caulk gun typically does not cost a lot. Power caulk guns can be very pricey, but all you need is a professional hand-powered caulking gun, which might fit into your budget better. Trim it near the tip, cutting it off at a 45 degree angle. The hole should be smaller than the joints you are sealing. As a general rule, the hole of the tube should actually be 2/3 the size of the joint you are filling. The measurement for most showers should be about 3⁄16 inch (0.48 cm).  Use a utility knife with a fresh blade or a 1-inch (2.5-cm) wide, razor-sharp chisel to cut the tip off the nozzle. Some tubes of caulk will even have a line on the nozzle to indicate the point at which you should cut. Smooth out the edges of the tip after cutting it off, if necessary. If a piece of plastic remains hanging on the nozzle after being cut, pare it down with your utility knife or a piece of sand paper.

. Make sure your resume also comes with a cover letter briefly introducing yourself and the position you are applying for. A cover letter is a basic professional courtesy, reminds the hiring manager who you are, and can highlight specific strengths in your resume that would be of interest. You don't want a resume to show up unannounced and with no instructions. Otherwise the hiring manager won't know what to do with it, especially if you've never met before. Once your resume goes in the envelope, you'll want it to stay flat for as long as possible. You can purchase cardboard envelopes, which are thicker and don't bend as easily, or you can use a piece of thin cardboard in the envelope. You can also add "Do Not Bend" to your envelope as a reminder to the post office. The US Postal Service requires that those words appear above the addressee's name and below the postage. If you add "Do Not Bend," you must also include a stiffener (like cardboard) in the envelope. If your envelope weighs more than one ounce (and with the cardboard, it probably does), you'll need additional postage. Putting a single stamp, as with a letter, will not do the trick. Your best bet is to go to the post office and pay directly there, as they will be able to weigh your envelope to determine the correct amount.

TL;DR in English: Include a cover letter Keep the envelope flat. Add proper postage.

The first step in attaching your Holter monitor is to clean your skin very well with soap and alcohol where the adhesive pads will attach to your body. Note that some of them have a gel to affix, and some of them have self-stick pads. If your monitor comes with cleansing wipes, use those to clean the area every time you put new sticky pads on. Put the adhesive pads on your body as directed — this usually means three pads on your chest and one near the bottom of your rib cage on the lower, left-hand side. Secure the electrical leads to the pads according to the instructions. Typically, the leads will snap into place on the adhesive pads, but you may have to use a sticky surgical tape instead. There are various types and brands of Holter monitors, so instructions for activating the device may vary; however, for most Holter monitors, you won’t need to do anything except make sure the battery is charged to maintain functionality.  If the battery is charged, the machine automatically turns on. Make sure you see the activity lights flashing on the monitor itself so you know that it is working properly. It is important to live your life normally while wearing the monitor so that your cardiologist can get a genuine representation of your heart activity in your normal life; however, you will not be permitted to get the monitor wet, which means you will have to remove it when you shower. Be sure to reattach the monitor as soon as you are done showering and have dried your body off. It is important to avoid all activities that would get the monitor wet while you’re wearing it. Don’t shower with the monitor, avoid sweaty exercises, don’t go swimming, etc. You will need to make sure the battery for the monitor remains charged. Your cardiologist will probably give you an extra battery so that you can always have a fully charged one that you swap out as needed. This way, you can always have one battery charging while the other is being used.  Typically, you will be given a battery charging port that the battery simply slips...

You can search "grow zone" or “USDA hardiness zone” on Google and choose a website. Type in your zip code, and the grow zone calculator will give you a number and/or a letter, like "6b." Most cherries grow in climate zones 4-8. Research sweet cherries if you are interested in growing them. Sweet cherries are harder to grow because they require a dry climate that isn't too hot and particularly well-drained soil.  In the United States, cherries grow well west of the Rocky Mountains in low-humidity zones. Sweet cherries vary in type, including Bing, Black Tartarian, Emperor Francis, Kristin, and Stella. Tart cherries also prefer well-drained soil, though they can withstand climates with more rain and greater humidity. Tart cherries tend to produce smaller trees than sweet cherries, which makes them easier to maintain. Research tart cherries to see if they are a better option for your environment.  Tart cherries are great to cook with, and their tartness can be rather mild. Tart cherries come in Meteor, Montmorency, and North Star varieties. Standard-sized trees tend to be more resilient and yield more cherries. They are larger in size and have a longer lifespan than dwarf trees. Dwarf trees are smaller and take up less space. They also yield fruit at a younger age, about 2 - 3 years old.  Both sizes are popular for growing cherries, and you should select the best size to suit your climate zone and growing preferences. Dwarf trees are more sensitive because they have a less vigorous root system. For sweet cherries, standard sized trees grow to about 20–40 feet (6.1–12.2 m) tall, and dwarf trees grow to 8–15 feet (2.4–4.6 m). For tart cherries, standard adult trees grow about 20 feet (6.1 m) tall, and dwarf trees reach around 8–12 feet (2.4–3.7 m)

TL;DR in English: Look up your grow zone to find out if cherries will grow where you live. Grow sweet cherries if you are up for a challenge. Grow tart cherries for an easier option. Decide between standard or dwarf-sized trees.

Lay down a towel or a mesh screen and position the fur on top of it. Try to spread the fur out as much as possible without breaking it up into small pieces. If there’s wind, place a mesh screen or towel on top of the fur to hold it in place. If it’s cloudy or rainy outside, leave the fur inside to dry in a well-ventilated area. It may take up to 4 hours for the fur to dry inside.

TL;DR in English: Spread the fur out in the sun to dry for 1-2 hours.

Getting plenty of oxygen contributes to physical energy and mental alertness. This can give you an overall boost of positivity. Try one of these breathing exercises periodically:  Sit up straight. Put one hand on your belly and the other on your chest. Inhale deeply through your nose. You should feel the hand on your belly raise, but the hand on your chest should not move. Breathe out slowly, with your mouth barely open. Use your hand on your belly to push air out, if you want. Repeat this exercise ten times. Quickly inhale and exhale through your nose (about three breaths a second), keeping your mouth closed. Then breathe normally. Repeat this process for fifteen seconds or more. Mindfulness is a practice that helps people become more aware of their thoughts and feelings, and of how they relate to the world around them in the present moment. It is like a particular type of meditation that will leave you feeling more self-aware and positive. Since living in the present is key to being a free spirit, this technique can be very helpful.  Sit in a comfortable position, whether in a chair, cross-legged, or kneeling. Begin to pay attention to your breathing. Your mind will eventually wander. When you catch your mind wandering, bring your attention back to your own breathing. Don’t stop to dwell on or judge your thoughts. Continue this process for a short time, such as five minutes if you are trying it for the first time. Repeat this practice frequently, at least once a day. As you begin to practice mindfulness mediation regularly, you can gradually increase the length of the sessions, if you desire. Many people engage in mindfulness through prayer or meditation as part of a spiritual practice. A free spirit can absolutely willfully participate in these practices. Often characterized as mainly a physical exercise, yoga is very much part of a spiritual practice that can boost your mind as well. Practicing yoga regularly can contribute to a positive outlook. You can begin learning yoga with just some simple...

TL;DR in English: Try some breathing exercises. Practice mindfulness. Try yoga. Let go of mental hang-ups.

Use it when you feed, pet, cuddle, and praise your cat. Help it learn its name by using it more than feels natural. Cats are very reward-motivated, so say its name while you give it treats.  Cats are often very independent, so don’t feel discouraged if it doesn't always come when you call. It may just be playing hard-to-get. Try to make sure that your cat has only positive associations with its name. Don’t yell its name when it's done something wrong, but sweetly say its name when it's done something right. If you have decided that its full name must be Sir William Fluffy-Butt but you know that you will often call it Willy, get it used to hearing Willy. If you alternate names every time you call it, it’ll likely be confused. If it's confused, it will probably start ignoring you all together. It’s not at all uncommon for a cat to give its human caretakers the cold shoulder, so help your odds by making sure it knows its name. This is the final, and most official, step in the naming process. It can wear its new jewelry with pride, and it is your cats official introduction to the world. Even better, this new identification can be used if your sweet feline family member gets lost. Its collar can help to bring it safely back home.

You may want to buy a used Apple computer in decent physical condition that is not currently in disrepair, and that does not contain excessive signs of wear. If you are buying a laptop, examine the keys and trackpad for signs of fading or rubbed away letters, numbers, and symbols, which can indicate excessive use. You may not want to purchase a used Apple computer running on an outdated operating system, unless it has enough memory to support an upgraded operating system. If upgrading the operating system is required, verify that the computer's hardware can handle the upgrade in terms of memory and processing speed. For example, if at least 2 additional gigabytes (GB) of memory are required to run a newer operating system, verify that you can install at least 2 GB of memory on the machine. The installation disc is necessary if for some reason you need to reinstall the Apple's operating system and software. Although refurbished computers may have been returned to the manufacturer at one point, Apple technicians have either repaired the computers, replaced non-working parts, or upgraded the computer to return it to a fully operational state. You may want to buy a used computer that has only had 1 previous owner, or that has not been moved frequently between locations. There may be no issues with the computer if the owner is upgrading to a newer model; however, if they are selling the computer because it frequently experienced issues, you may not want to buy that particular computer.

TL;DR in English: Examine the physical state of the computer's hardware. Determine the version of the operating system currently installed on the computer. Verify that an installation disc is provided with the used Apple computer. Look specifically for a refurbished Apple computer. Determine the history of the used computer. Ask the current owner why they are selling the computer.

If you're having a hard time seeing your way out of a situation, try modeling your behavior after someone else who's faced adversity. Not only can this give you a good dose of perspective ("Wow, at least my problem isn't as bad as that"), it might inspire you to be more courageous.  Look for a role model among people you already know. If you feel comfortable enough, consider asking them how they dealt with situations that required bravery. Read about brave historical figures. Look up the life stories of people who are renowned for facing adversity with bravery, such as Theodore Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman or Joan of Arc, freedom fighters, rebels, etc. Bravery requires you to be “tough” when you encounter scary or difficult situations. Mental resilience is more than just a tough front, though. To be truly resilient, you need to practice the following:  Flexibility. Cognitive flexibility is the ability to adapt to changing situations. It's the ability to stay away from defensiveness if something goes wrong. It's the ability to look for new ways to approach a problem or situation. You can develop flexibility by recognizing the potential for learning in all situations, and by developing a mindset of curiosity rather than worry.  Engagement. In order to be brave about a situation, you have to face it head-on. Truly brave people examine the situation and identify how to approach it, rather than trying to run away or ignore the problem. Breaking down a situation into smaller elements can help you face troubling situations. You can also try to imagine the best possible scenario, rather than the worst possible one.  Persistence. Things may not always go smoothly. Brave people understand this and get back up when they fall down. You can help yourself become persistent by defining what actions you need to take every step of the way. It's much easier to face a setback if you know that the next step you need to take is achievable, rather than a monumental task. We all get stuck in unhelpful ways of thinking, or “cognitive...

TL;DR in English: Find a role model. Develop mental resilience. Challenge negative thoughts. Reject perfectionism. Start every day with self-affirmations. Distance yourself from your fears. Ask your friends for help. Attempt difficult tasks. Practice mindfulness.

Once the beans are drained, place them in a large pot. Use a stainless steel, enameled, or other non-reactive pot because reactive materials may alter the taste and color of the natto. Pour enough water into the pot to completely cover the beans. Place the pot on the stove, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once it’s boiling, turn the heat down to medium and allow the beans to simmer for 9 hours. When the soybeans are finished cooking, place a colander or strainer in the sink. Pour the beans into the colander and shake well to remove all of the excess water.

Self educating yourself in religion is an important way to understanding the deepest beliefs and feelings of humanity. Aim to learn all that you can about every religion and show all faiths respect. Research unearths many answers but many people do not have the patience or tenacity to be good researchers. This skill is a great one to develop, as it will empower you to find out many things, from the simplest (such as what time the library stays open until on the weekends) to the most complex (why do stars die?). But all the in between stuff matters too, the things that make the wheels of everyday life turn, such as resolving neighbor disputes over property lines, knowing how to get the local government to fix broken playground equipment and learning how to get an audience with your government representative. Knowing how to research the answers will give you a lot of handy answers to those questions that the curiosity you've been asked to cultivate with bring forth. When researching or finding out something new, if you ever have the question 'why' or something related to that to a particular subject, then search up on it.

TL;DR in English:


Brown Banded cockroaches are a very small and very common species. They are not a problem for you to find.

Assess the size of the bug. Look for a yellowish brown band. Consider the climate you live in. Check for any water source nearby. Determine if the cockroach can fly.

Look for a place with good ventilation where burns and spills won't matter. Put on gloves and goggles to protect yourself. An old baking pan works well for this purpose. If you're making more than 1 soft plastic lure, you can arrange several molds on the pan. This will make it easier to remove the soft plastic lure from the mold after it cools and solidifies. Be aware that the cooking spray may affect the smell of the lure. If you fill the cup fuller than this, you may have difficulty pouring the resin into the mold once it's heated. If you're melting down old soft plastic lures, put them in the cup in place of the resin. As the resin heats, it will first thicken and then thin, changing from a milky white to clear. Microwave the resin in 30 second increments until it is clear. Stop heating at once if you see smoke. The cup may be hot, so use a pot holder and exercise caution. Add the color drop by drop until you have the shade you want. Stir the resin slowly as you add color. Use only non-metal glitter to avoid starting a fire in the microwave. As with color, add scents and flavorings gradually in small amounts. This allows the color, flavoring, scents, and glitter to be incorporated into the resin.

TL;DR in English: Choose a suitable work space and put on protective gear. Put your mold on a heat-resistant surface. Spray the mold cavities with cooking spray. Fill a microwave-safe measuring cup half-full of plastic resin. Microwave the resin in 30 second increments until it is clear. Remove the cup of resin/plastic from the microwave. Add a few drops of your desired color. Add scents, flavorings, and glitter if desired. Return the cup to the microwave and heat on high for 30 seconds.

The single best way to treat any disease is to prevent it. Anyone over six months old should get the flu shot, which specifically targets the influenza virus. This is especially important for anyone at risk of complications from the flu and those who are in contact with those who are especially at risk. This includes those ages 65 or older, young children, women who are pregnant, those with depressed immune systems (such as those undergoing chemotherapy), or those with chronic health conditions like asthma or diabetes. If you are a parent or caretaker for a person with the risk factors just described, or a health care worker, it is important you get the flu shot too to protect these people.   Flu season is October to May, with its peak December to February.. Around this time, flu shots, which are vaccines, are available at most pharmacies. Most insurances cover this cost. Get the vaccine few weeks before the season starts. The vaccine takes a good two weeks to fully kick in, by helping you develop antibodies to the flu so you can fight it off; however, getting it early will help you not contract it during the two weeks you are susceptible to the flu. You can also get the flu shot if you're currently experiencing mild flu-like symptoms. Some people believe that flu symptoms are a contraindication for the flu shot, or a reason you shouldn't get it, but this is a common misconception. The vaccine is only effective for one flu season, so you must get it every year. It also only covers some strains of the flu.  Also worth noting is that flu vaccine manufacturers in partnership with doctors basically have to guess which flu strains will be prominent that year and make the vaccine to include those strains. Some years they are wrong, and the vaccine is not effective because it didn't contain the strains that end up being prevalent that season. Other than the flu shot, you can get the flu vaccine as a nasal spray. This could be easier for some people, but should be avoided by others. You should not take the nasal...

TL;DR in English: Get a flu shot. Try the nasal spray vaccine. Understand the complications. Be aware of the potential side effects of the vaccine.

Brown Banded cockroaches grow to be about 5/8ths of an inch long. They are one of the smallest varieties of cockroaches. To put that size in perspective, a Brown Banded cockroach is a little bit smaller than the size of an American penny (not including the antennae of course). Contrary to what you might think, the Brown Banded cockroach is actually named for a yellow band that can be found on the bug. Look for two bands--there should be a very thick one at the bottom of the abdomen, and a thinner band running across the mid-abdomen area. Brown Banded cockroaches generally only live in hotter, drier climates. If you are having a cockroach problem but live in a humid, mid or low temperature climate, you are probably dealing with another kind of cockroach. Brown Banded cockroaches detest the water--as such, they are not often found near any sort of water source. If you have found a cockroach living near your sink or toilet, it is more than likely not a Brown Banded cockroach. Unlike the German cockroach, the Brown Banded cockroach will fly off if disturbed. If you notice a small cockroach flying through the air, chances are it is a Brown Banded cockroach.

You don’t always need the newest and the best item.  There are deals to be had if you keep your eyes open to opportunity.  Use a little creativity and you can get what you want for minimal amounts.  Buy used.  It’s widely known the average new car is a poor investment, but there are a variety of used items that can be purchased to save a lot of money.  Look for great deals on clothes at thrift stores, and tools at auctions.  Buy at flea markets.  People selling at flea markets are often knowledgeable in their niche market.  Make no mistake, however, they’re trying to make a deal, and need to sell for less than a retail store to remain feasible.  Buy at garage sales/yard sales.  Face facts, most garage sales are people looking to get rid of their excess.  It’s the possessions they don’t want.  They’d much rather make a sale than haul it to the dump.  Low-ball every item you see and you’ll walk away with plenty. Many rewards programs offer free items, discounted items, or a percentage off just for being part of their commerce family.  Collect the key rings, punch cards, and free membership numbers to take advantage of whatever deal is currently the best. Make the most of what you have.  Be creative and you’ll find a variety of uses for what you already have lying around.   Recycle your favorite fabrics to make a floor cushion. Use old paint cans to store screws and nails. Freeze wet sponges and use them as ice packs.  Turn an old baby crib into a learning or play area. Buying groceries costs a lot of money because it's not just the food you're purchasing.

These symptoms may include persistent nausea, queasiness, constant fatigue and vomiting. Gallbladder problems can often manifest as pain in the upper abdomen that often (but not always) radiates to your right shoulder. This pain can either be constant or it can come and go, depending on the cause of the specific gallbladder problem. This pain may be worse after a meal that is high in fat. If you have always had body odor or halitosis (chronic bad breath), it is unlikely to mean anything.  However, if these develop suddenly and don’t go away in a few days, they could be signs of an underlying problem, such as gallbladder malfunction. One of the clearest signs of a gallbladder problem is stools that are light or chalky in color stools. Lighter, loose stools may be the result of insufficient bile.  You may also have darker than usual urine with no change in water consumption. Some people experience diarrhea that may last up to three months or more and may have up to ten bowel movements per day. These generally occur with more advanced stages of gallbladder disease.  Again, these are symptoms that are common with other diseases, but if you’ve had stomach problems and other indicators of gallbladder disease, a fever could be a bad sign that the disease is progressing.

TL;DR in English: Be aware of symptoms that mimic the stomach flu or a mild case of food poisoning. Assess your pain. Notice offensive body odor or excessive bad breath. Check your stools. Watch for signs of fever, chills and shivering.

You can start determining if your cat's overweight by looking at him. Examining your cat from above and from the side should help you determine if his weight is a problem.  Look at your cat from above. The area between his ribs and hips should move inward slightly, creating a clearly defined waist. If there is no waist or if his waist is wider than either his hips or ribs, your cat may be overweight.  You should also look at your cat from the side. Cats who are at a healthy weight have what is called an abdominal tuck. This means the area just behind their ribs should have a smaller diameter than the chest. If you do not see an abdominal tuck, your cat may be overweight. You can further examine your cat by touching him. Run your hand over your cat's sides. You should be able to easily feel his ribs. If you cannot feel his ribs, or have to push down to do so, your cat may be overweight. You should also be able to feel bones near the base of your cat's tail. While there should be a small layer of fat protecting this area, you should be able to feel the outlines of his bones without much effort. If you cannot easily feel bones here, your cat may be overweight. A cat's spine, hips, and shoulders should also be fairly bony. While very visible and pointy bones may indicate your cat is underweight, in a healthy cat you should be able to easily detect hip bones, spine bones, and shoulder bones through gentle petting. If you're unable to feel these bones due to layers of fat, your cat is overweight. Many cats have a saggy bit of flesh that hangs down between their back legs. If your cat is otherwise bony, this small pouch of skin is unlikely to be an indication of a weight problem. This skin flap is referred to as the "primordial pouch" and its purpose is to protect the stomach during fights with other cats. Cats often kick with their back legs when angry, and this flap of skin protects your cat from such attacks. Many cats will develop a primordial pouch at some point in their lives and it is not necessarily an...

Blow-drying can make your hair softer, shinier, and more manageable. Avoid blow-drying your hair every day, and do not blow your hair for more than a few minutes. Heat-based products like blow dryers and flat irons can substantially damage your hair, leading to dryness. Consider getting a professional blow-out at a salon. This may be best if you constantly flat-iron or blow-dry your hair, as it is a less damaging way to get your hair straight. Some of the blow-outs may cause damage to your hair, so make sure that you go to a well-reviewed professional to minimize damage. Ditch your brush with plastic bristles for one with natural bristles, such as a boar's hair brush. The natural bristles will distribute your hair's natural oils over your hair from roots to tips, ensuring that it stays soft and shiny. The plastic-bristle brush can actually strip your hair of its oils, making it greasy, stringy, and broken. The grease results from your hair trying to replace its natural oils.

TL;DR in English: Blow-dry your hair, but only sparingly. Consider using a brush with natural bristles.

If this is your first time attempting to create an ambigram then choosing a word on the shorter side is a good idea. If you want to try something more advanced, pick a longer word.  Longer words pose more challenges as there are simply more letters that need to be made to look like each other. For example, a nice simple word to choose might be "BOOK" as it is only 4 letters. A more difficult word might be "TELEVISION" as it has 10 letters. Often, people will choose their name if they’re designing an ambigram for personal reasons so this is also an option. Just do this on a piece of paper with a pencil or use a word flipper. Write it so that the one spelling of the word is directly above the other spelling of the word. This will make it easier to analyze the word later on.  For example, if your word was ‘great’, write it out on a piece of paper and then directly below it write ‘ʇɐǝɹƃ’ lined up letter-for-letter with the normal spelling. It’s also a good idea to write the word in cursive and upper case. This lets you look at what letters may transform well into other letters. This process is the same regardless of whether you are creating a reversal ambigram or an upside-down ambigram as at the moment, you are just getting clear on which letters must transform into each other. One spelling of the word (right side up or up side down) should be on top of the other to make this much easier.  Make sure you are drawing lines down connecting letters from the regularly spelled word to the up side down spelled word.  You want to pair up the letters, ideally combine multiple into one. For example, for the word “great” you would connect ‘gr’ with ‘t’ with a straight line, then ‘e’ with ‘a’, then ‘a’ with ‘e’. Doing this allows you to pair up the letters and have a visual aid to what each letter needs to transform into when you look at the word from a different perspective. Combining letters is a way to make the ambigram more artistic but also much more difficult. Stick with just pairing individual letters up together if...

TL;DR in English: Choose a word you want to turn into an ambigram. Write your word out normally, in capitals and upside down. Line up the two spellings of the word and connect the letters with lines. Decide whether any letters need to be combined into one.

Clean the tester with a little alcohol (the store should provide this in a spray bottle) and use a test brush or a cotton swab to apply the color to your lips. If you don't want to apply the tester lipstick to your mouth, test it on the pads of your fingertips. Your fingertips are closer to your lip color than your wrist or the side of your hand. Otherwise, you will be mixing multiple colors together. Ask a sales rep for makeup remover or lotion.  Look for a shade that, worn with no other make up, brightens your face and makes other makeup unnecessary. Sometimes it's hard to objectively judge what looks best on ourselves. A professional at the makeup counter can match you with the right color.

TL;DR in English: Try the lipstick on before you buy it. Remove one lip color completely before trying on the next. Make sure you are in a well-lit area. Try on lipstick with little or no other makeup on your face. Ask for help at the makeup counter.

Early voting is a process that allows a voter to cast their ballot in a given election before Election Day. Some states actually call the process “early voting,” while others use “in-person absentee voting,” meaning that you cast an absentee ballot by physically showing up at a designated location.  Most states allow some form of early voting. Find out your state's early voting rules and dates at https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/. Note that while some states don't technically have early voting, they may allow certain people to vote absentee in-person before the election. In Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah and Hawaii, all elections are conducted by mail. The state mails all registered voters a ballot for each election, rendering early voting and absentee voting procedures less relevant. Voters in these states who need to vote in-person in advance of election day may still be able to do so and should contact their local election office for more information. Absentee voting also allows voters to cast a ballot before Election Day, but involves mailing a ballot instead of voting in person. Absentee voting was originally designed only to serve voters who would actually be absent from their precincts on Election Day, but has gradually expanded in many states to cover a variety of circumstances. If your state does not allow early voting, it may allow absentee voting with or without an excuse. Because this method of voting allows the voter to cast a ballot before election day, it can be considered a type of early voting, but they are typically distinguished from one another. Additionally, a few states technically don't offer early voting but allow for in-person absentee voting if you meet certain criteria. You can see what your state’s rules are by going to https://www.vote.org/absentee-voting-rules/. Even if your state allows early voting, some decisions about early voting may be made at the county level. It's best to confirm the details about when and where you can vote early with your local election...

You can calculate the average acceleration of an object over a period of time based on its velocity (its speed traveling in a specific direction), before and after that time. To do this you need to know equation for acceleration: a = Δv / Δt where a is acceleration, Δv is the change in velocity, and Δt is the amount of time it took for that change to occur.  The unit for acceleration is meters per second per second or m/s2. Acceleration is a vector quantity, meaning it has both a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude is the total amount of acceleration whereas the direction is the way in which the object is moving. If it is slowing down the acceleration will be negative. You can further define Δv and Δt:  Δv = vf - vi and  Δt = tf - ti where vf is the final velocity, vi is the initial velocity, tf is the ending time, and ti is the starting time.  Because acceleration has a direction, it is important to always subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity. If you reverse them, the direction of your acceleration will be incorrect. Unless otherwise stated in the problem, the starting time is usually 0 seconds. First write down your equation and all of the given variables. The equation is a = Δv / Δt = (vf - vi)/(tf - ti). Subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity, then divide the result by the time interval. The final result is your average acceleration over that time.  If the final velocity is less than the initial velocity, acceleration will turn out to be a negative quantity or the rate at which an object slows down. Example 1: A race car accelerates uniformly from 18.5 m/s to 46.1 m/s in 2.47 seconds. What is its average acceleration?  Write the equation: a = Δv / Δt = (vf - vi)/(tf - ti)  Define the variables: vf = 46.1 m/s, vi = 18.5 m/s, tf = 2.47 s, ti = 0 s. Solve: a = (46.1 – 18.5)/2.47 = 11.17 meters/second2.   Example 2: A biker traveling at 22.4 m/s comes to halt in 2.55 s after applying brakes. Find his deceleration.  Write the equation: a = Δv / Δt = (vf - vi)/(tf - ti) ...

TL;DR in English: Define the equation for average acceleration. Understand the variables. Use the formula to find acceleration.

If you are visiting or moving to a foreign country, it would be wise to spend some time reading about what is common. This is also important if you have visitors from a foreign country. Knowing the correct greeting will help you fit in, and will make others more comfortable around you.  In North America, it is common for acquaintances or close friends to give one or two air kisses, starting with the right cheek.  Men and men generally do not kiss, though men kiss women and women kiss women often.  Air kisses are more popular in large cities, as well as in parts of Quebec and New England. In the United Kingdom, air kisses between upper class friends are common.  It's considered unusual, though not unacceptable, for two men to air kiss. In Spain and Italy, it's generally two kisses, starting with the right or the left cheek, depending on the region. In France, it will be two, three or four kisses depending on the region. If you don't know, check first or go for two kisses. Usually the air kiss is done when meeting with women, but men air kiss each other as well. French people are usually air kissing when  meeting and leaving at anytime of the day. In the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland and Belgium, three kisses are expected. In Southern and Eastern Europe, air kissing is a common form of greeting between friends and acquaintances. In Jordan, it is one to the left cheek and several to the right, depending on how much you like the person. In Latin America, it can be one, two or three kisses.  This depends on the location and person.  Air kisses are often used to greet new acquaintances, as well as close friends. Men are almost always expected to air kiss women upon greeting. In Chile, Argentina and Uruguay, air kissing between men a la italiana, e.g., in the style of soccer players, is common. In Greece it is customary for men to air kiss as well if they know each other well (e.g., distant male relatives, two good friends, etc.). In the Middle East, air kissing between two people of the same gender is common. ...

TL;DR in English: Read up on the common cultural conventions. Observe the behavior of others. Search on the internet. Ask a native.

The region enclosed by the circle at the bottom of the cylinder is your bottom base surface (B). A radius is any line segment that runs from a circle’s center to its perimeter. To find the radius, simply measure from the mid-point of the cylinder’s bottom to the outside of the circle. A diameter is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and has endpoints on the circle’s perimeter. For any circle, the diameter will be twice the radius. Therefore, you can also find the radius of the circle at the bottom of the cylinder by measuring the complete radius and dividing that number in half. Once you know the radius of your bottom base surface (B), you can calculate the area. To do so, use the formula B = πr2, using your radius as r and 3.14159 for π, which is a mathematical constant. You can now determine the total volume of the tank by multiplying the area by the length of the tank. The full formula for total volume of the tank is Vtank = πr2h. The filled volume is just a shorter cylinder with the same radius but a different height: the fill height, d. Therefore: 𝑉 = π𝑟2h.

TL;DR in English: Measure the radius of the circle at the bottom of the cylinder. Find the area of the circle at the bottom of the cylinder. Calculate the total volume of a cylinder tank. Determine the filled volume.

Gain experience in the veterinary field. Graduate from high school. Get a bachelors degree. Consider an accelerated path to veterinary school. Take the GRE (graduate record examination). Work hard on your application to veterinary school. Prepare for the financial strain of veterinary school.

Chances are, you’ve got plenty of items sitting around on the shelves of your pantry just waiting to be put to use. A bottle of ordinary cooking oil like olive or canola oil, for example, will bust up even the most difficult stickers. You could even use peanut butter or mayonnaise to achieve the same effect!  A tablespoon of baking soda can up the unsticking power of oil-based products.  These types of substances tend to work best on smooth, hard surfaces that aren't at risk of becoming darkened or discolored by oils. Use a clean cloth to soak up a quarter-sized amount of oil and rub it over the entire surface. If the product is especially thick, it may help to pick up a flexible utensil like a rubber spatula or brush that will allow you to spread it around exactly where you need it. Avoid pouring thinner oils directly onto the surface. It can be easy to oversaturate it this way. Little by little, it will coat the bonds between the adhesive and the sticking surface and the sticker will begin to slip. The longer you allow it to take effect, the better the outcome will be. Wipe the excess oil away with a paper towel when time is up.  Newer stickers may even come unfastened before you ever touch them. If you used a thicker oily substance, such as peanut butter, you may need to use a heavier towel or washcloth to expose the sticker underneath. Scrape up the outer edge with your fingernail, peeling it back gradually until it’s free. A soft kitchen sponge may come in handy for breaking up the last few bits of adhesive. By this point, it will likely have been reduced to a papery goop, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble. Wipe the area clean with a towel and enjoy your new sticker-free surface!  Eliminate any remaining patches of residue by blotting the spot with the corner of a towel soaked in oil. A light dusting of cornstarch or baby powder can absorb leftover oil coating the sticker surface.

TL;DR in English: Grab a product with a high oil content. Smear the oil onto the sticker. Leave the oil in place for 10-20 minutes. Pull or scrub the sticker away.

The same things we fear also incite feelings of exhilaration and even passion. That's why people enjoy extreme sports, horror movies, and swimming with sharks on vacation. Try to re-frame your fear in a positive light and acknowledge the thrill it can offer. When you start seeing fear as a source of energy, you might even embrace its role in your life. Fear can have incredible power in life-or-death situations. People report the sensation of time slowing down, senses becoming highly acute, and having the ability to instinctively know what to do. While other communication within our bodies takes about half a second to reach awareness, the fear system works much more quickly. Fear also deadens our awareness of pain.  Understanding the positives of fear can help you use it to your advantage. For instance, many people experience stage fright, yet the fear leading up to a performance can help you be in the moment and focus intensely on what is before you. Learn to acknowledge the fear and then direct it to where it will be most beneficial Most people experience fear prior to an event, yet experience no fear when in the middle of a situation. Remember that fear heightens your senses so that you have the ability to perform efficiently and powerfully. Fear can be used as a tool to help us identify problems and solve them effectively. It's a guidepost, a red flag that warns us when something needs attention. Once the discomfort of the initial wave of fear passes, examine it more closely to see what you can learn.  When you feel fear of something unfamiliar, take it as a sign that you need to get to know a person or situation better. If you feel a flash of fear about an upcoming deadline or event, make it an opportunity to make a plan of action to get fully prepared, whether that means getting started on a paper, rehearsing for a play or practicing a speech.

TL;DR in English: Make your fear a source of fascination. Harness the power of fear. Start seeing fear as an opportunity.

Some farmers like to check things out daily, and some only do this once per week.  Remove any rotted vegetable matter, dead insects, or clumps of mold from the oatmeal substrate. Add more vegetables and oatmeal as needed and move the bedding around to prevent mold. Depending on the temperature and how old the mealworms were when you purchased them, transformation into the pupal stage can take anywhere from a week to a couple of months.  Maturity is marked by gradual darkening of color in all stages of the life cycle. Pupa start off extremely pale white and look more like little curled up beetles than segmented worms. You may notice that mealworms shed their skin (moult) several times before turning to pupa. This is normal. You can do this with tweezers if it happens to gross you out.  Pupa do not move around very much and do not require any food. Moisture doesn't hurt, but pupa will not eat away at the moisture sources you place inside the container with them. It is important to keep pupa separate from larva and adults because they cannot defend themselves and run the risk of being eaten before they have a chance to hatch. The pupal stage lasts anywhere from one to several weeks depending on the temperature. You will know they are getting close to hatching as they begin to darken in color. This becomes more important as you have more insects in the various stages of development. They will begin to feed on other pupa if they are not taken out swiftly. Place the adult beetles into a separate container with the same setup as the mealworms. It never hurts to put a little extra oatmeal in there so they have more room to nest. These will become more plentiful the more adults are in there. They can usually be found along the bottom of the container.  It is not necessary to remove the eggs, but they serve as a signal that you will have more larva (mealworms) soon. Adult females will lay about 500 eggs at a time. Eggs will hatch within 4-19 days depending on the temperature. Since the females lay so many eggs at once,...

TL;DR in English: Maintain the containers periodically. Keep an eye out for pupa in the mealworm habitat. Separate the pupa as soon as you start to notice them. Continue to check both containers regularly for advances in the life cycle. Remove adult beetles from the pupa container immediately. Check the adult beetle container regularly for eggs. Move the mealworms out of the adult beetle habitat and into the mealworm container upon hatching. Continue daily or weekly maintenance of the habitats.

Preparing for a career as a veterinarian begins long before even graduating from high school.  You will want to gain as much experience with animals and in the veterinary field as possible during high school and your undergraduate career. This experience will expose you to what veterinarians actually do, and will give you veterinary experience to put on your resume for veterinary school.  In the United States there are 30 colleges of veterinary medicine which graduate about 3,000 veterinarians a year.  You could volunteer at your local animal shelter, or you could shadow your pet's veterinarian. Working at a livestock farm can also help you gain valuable animal experience. Most colleges of veterinary medicine require a minimum of 400 hours of animal related experience While in high school, you should pay attention to your performance in science courses, such as Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. Also pay attention to math courses, such as  Trigonometry, Geometry, and Algebra. If you can excel in these areas, it may be a good indicator that medicine is the right field for you.  If possible, take AP classes. Also, excelling in English class will help, as veterinarians need to be good at communicating to other people. Alternatively, you can pass the GED exam. Passing the GED exam might seem like a good idea, but many veterinary colleges would like to see that you have completed high school instead. You will need to attend a college which offers the pre-requisite courses for admittance into veterinary college.  Make sure to complete all prerequisite courses for veterinary school. If one school's prerequisites vary from some of the others, make sure to take the prerequisite courses for all of these schools. These courses consist of many advanced science courses, such as biochemistry, organic and inorganic chemistry, and physics. They are necessary to prepare the student for the vigorous coursework in veterinary college. This may save considerable time and money. According to the Association of American Veterinary...

If you're going to be a good house guest, you need to help out around the house. Most importantly, don't wait for her to ask you to do something if you notice it needs to be done. Staying with someone requires both sides to work together to keep the space happy and livable. Some chores to look out for include:  Watering plants Doing dishes Washing sheets, blankets, and towels Tending to pets Vacuuming. There are going to be some things that she likes a particular way, even if they don't make sense to you. Maybe her spice rack is particularly organized for easy cooking, or she likes the towels folded particularly. Everyone, including you, has little quirks and preferences for your living conditions -- so be sure to respect hers. Being considerate is not so much about the spice rack or the towels. It is about understanding her personal space and preferences.  She likely has her things in very particular orders and places -- be respectful and ask questions when storing your own stuff. You may have ways of doing things you may think are "better" or "more logical," but remember that this isn't your house. At the end of the day, her preferences for her stuff take priority. If you're staying at her house, you should be willing to help cover at least some of the expenses, particularly food. While she may have it covered, she may also want to split rent or utilities, depending on how long you'll be staying. Don't just assume that "everything's good." Make a point to ask her about finances before unsaid arguments become a problem. Talking about money is never fun, but it is essential to preserve a strong, healthy relationship. Maybe she needs a little quiet time when she gets home from work. Perhaps you both really like to shower before leaving, but need to work out a way that you both have enough time. The best way to handle these situations is to talk about them as they come up -- finding compromise early on instead of waiting until one of you is upset. Common things to cover include:  Who does what chores or house...

TL;DR in English: Help out with general house chores and maintenance. Defer to her preferences when tending the house. Discuss a fair way to split any expenses, such as food, early on. Establish ground rules about any specific living quirks or desires. Talk openly and honestly about any romantic expectations. Treat her house with respect, not like your personal property.

Some skates have hooks at the top.  Cross the laces as you would if you were lacing through holes, then draw the laces either from the top of the hooks down, or the bottom of the hooks up.  Either direction will work.  From there, draw the laces together in front of the skate to begin your knot.

TL;DR in English: Loop around the hooks.

You should not see the pad or tampon sticking out of the pocket. This way, if you have to use the restroom, all you have to do is put on your coat. If your pocket has a zipper, zip it shut so that the pad or tampon doesn't accidentally peek out. If you have to go to the restroom, but can't take your backpack with you, keep a thin pad up your sleeve. Keep in mind that this only works with sweatshirts and shirts that had tighter sleeves. It won't work on loose, flowing sleeves. If you like to wear boots, you can always tuck a pad or tampon inside them. Pads will fit most comfortably in fitted, lace-up boots. Tampons may fit inside bulky, slip-on boots. You may need to tuck the tampon under your sock to keep it from rattling around, however. Most pads will fit completely inside the pocket, and won't stick out. If they are thin enough, they also won't create any suspicious bulk. Once you use up a tube of lipstick, clean it out well, and use it to hide tampons. When you go to the restroom, bring the lipstick tube with you. People will assume that you are just going to reapply your lipstick.  Keep in mind that this only works if you are wearing lipstick that day. You can clean out empty lipstick tubes using soap, water, and lots of q-tips. These are a great option for those who don't want to keep a pencil case in their bags. Keep in mind that pads will need to be rolled or folded to fit. These are perfect for the office. Most people won't open up your mug to see what's inside of it; they will assume that it is coffee or tea. Use this mug only for tampon/pad hiding purposes.

TL;DR in English: Hide a pad or tampon in your coat pocket but make sure that the pocket is big enough. Stick a pad up your sleeve. Slip pads or tampons inside your boots. Hide thin pads in the back pocket of your pants. Hide tampons inside an old, empty lipstick tube. Keep tampons and pads inside sunglass cases. Stuff tampons and rolled up pads into clean, empty travel mugs.

Paint fumes and aerosol sprays aren't very healthy to breathe in, so make sure you're working in a ventilated area. You can set up a ventilated spray booth and wear a respirator, or use a local exhaust ventilation system. Wearing gloves and eye protection are important safety precautions as well. The self-etching primer is what will allow the regular primer to grab hold of the metal. Cover the entire bumper with the self-etching primer, spraying 2-3 even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before continuing. When spraying in between layers, self-etching primer should only take a couple of minutes to dry. Allow the last coat to sit for 3-4 hours before starting to sand. The regular primer will help to bond the paint to the chrome, strengthen the metal, and prevent rusting, so don’t just use the self-etching primer and not the regular one as well. Cover the entire surface evenly using 2-3 coats, and wait for each coat to dry before applying the next one. Depending on which type of primer you're using and what kind of paint you'll be using on top, the regular primer's drying time will vary. Check the instructions on the primer to see how long to let it sit. Once your bumper’s primer is completely dry, you can start sanding. The purpose of this sanding is to smooth out the surface of the primer while not getting to the chrome layer, so only use a very fine sandpaper (400- to 600-grit) for this step. If you do happen to sand through the primer and reach the chrome surface, re-apply the primer, let it dry, and sand again. Use a cloth to wipe off any dust particles left over from sanding. You don’t want any dirt left on your bumper, as this will affect how the paint sticks to the surface. To avoid accidentally removing the primer, be gentle when wiping. You can use water, lacquer thinner, or a wax and grease remover to wipe away the dust.
