. If you are using a pattern, then it is important to read the instructions carefully before you get started. Missing or misunderstanding a step can result in issues with your finished garment. Read through the instructions and make notes of anything that will require special attention, such as where to place the pattern on your fabric when you cut it out or what kind of stitch to use when you sew your pieces together. Lay out your pattern and then begin cutting out all of the pieces as indicated. Cut along the lines for the size of overalls you will need. Set each pattern piece aside as you go. Next, lay out your fabric and begin pinning the paper pattern pieces onto your fabric. Make sure to pay attention to the pattern instructions for pinning because some pieces may need to be pinned to a piece of folded fabric in a certain way. After you have pinned all of your pieces in place, you can begin cutting them out. You may leave the pattern piece pinned onto the fabric pieces to make them easier to identify later, or identify the pieces another way if you prefer, such as by marking the wrong side of the fabric pieces with chalk.

TL;DR in English: Read your pattern’s instructions Cut out all of the pattern pieces. Pin the cutouts to the fabric and cut around the edges.

In order to obtain a copy of your birth certificate you need to apply through the CDHP. Start by going to the website and click on the "Birth, Death, & Marriage Certificates" link on the upper left of the CDHP home page, under Most Popular Links.  Alternatively you can go straight to the relevant page by following this link: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHSI/Pages/Vital-Records-Obtaining-Certified-Copies-of-Birth--Death-Records.aspx. Here you will see all the steps you need to follow. You can download all the necessary forms directly from this website. Depending on who you are, and whose birth certificate you are attempting obtain, you will be able to obtain either an "authorized copy," or an "informational copy" of the document. In California, “authorized copies” can only be obtained by the person named on the birth certificate, parents of the person named on the certificate and a few other people.  The other people who can obtain authorized copies of your birth certificate are: your children, your grandparents, your grandchildren, a member entitled to a record of your birth by court order, a licensed adoption agency complying with Section 3140 or 7603 of the Family Code, a representative of the law (such as a police officer,) your attorney or anyone court appointed to act on your behalf. All other requesters may obtain an informational copy only. An informational copy contains the same information as an authorized copy, but is not a valid document to establish identity. All birth certificates issued—whether authorized or informational—are certified. The next step is to download a pamphlet for obtaining certified copies of birth records from the CDPH website here, which is available as a PDF here: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/CDPH%20Document%20Library/ControlledForms/VS111.pdf.

Think about size and area of the repair as well as the current temperature and humidity when making your choice. Some products are formulated for higher temperatures and extra moisture, so make sure to check the product labels. Keep in mind that you should also try to paint in optimal conditions. Do not paint your car if you’re in temperatures above 90 °F (32 °C) or below 55 °F (13 °C). You should also avoid painting in direct sunlight by painting in the shade, in the early morning, or at nighttime. For this project, higher quality tools will likely be worth the extra cost. You can buy or rent a gun, compressor, respirator, and air/oil separator along with an air hose.  Clear coat is best applied with a spray gun because it acts like a solvent. If you try to apply it with pressure, rather than floating it on with an aerosol tool, it can remove the base coat beneath it. You could also use clear coat in a spray can, but a gun will give you a smoother, more professional finish. off all of the previous clear coat if it is damaged. Look for any peeling, delaminating, or flaking in the old clear coat. If you find damage, use 400-600 grit sandpaper and an orbital sander to wet-sand off all of the old clear-coat. It’s important to start over with a base coat for the new urethane to bond properly.  To wet-sand, spray your sandpaper down with water. This will prevent the sandpaper from creating deep scratches in the car’s surface.  Wipe down the surface with a tack cloth after sanding to clean up any dust. Before you spray your car, test out your materials and practice your spraying technique on a smooth metal surface. Follow all the steps from start to finish, making note of any issues or imperfections that you should adjust for the final project. If you’re using a can of spray clear coat, make sure to shake it well before spraying.

Decorate your fabric cover.

While weight training can benefit joggers seeking greater endurance as well, it is particularly beneficial to sprinters.  Unlike jogging, sprinting requires short bursts of maximum effort from the muscles over your entire body.  Try to weight train a couple of times per week, perhaps on Tuesdays and Thursdays between sprint training sessions on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, for instance. There is some truth to "no pain, no gain."  You need to push yourself in order to build muscle; at the same time, though, don't risk injury by overexertion.  Strive to build lean muscle, not to try out for the next "World's Strongest Man" competition. Obviously you want to build up your leg muscles by way of squats, leg presses, and so on.  However, you also want to strengthen your abdominal core and shoulders, as arm movement helps propel sprinters forward.  Include exercises like sit-ups, leg lifts, and bench and shoulder presses to your workout. While jogging simply requires a treadmill, trail, or decent sidewalk, sprint training is more effective in more particular conditions.  A running track is the best option for sprint training, since it is flat, marked for distance, and more shock-absorbing for the runner.  If a track is unavailable, seek a flat area at least 40 meters long. A grass football or soccer field will be easier on your feet and shins especially, while pavement offers more even footing that might protect against ankle or knee sprains.  Mix-and-match or find which works best for your body. As with distance running training, warm up by starting at a slow pace and steadily increasing to a fast run over several minutes.  Consider incorporating dynamic stretches after your warmup.  Unlike traditional static stretches, dynamic stretches are done while in motion, such as while walking 20 meters or so.  They include stretches like walking on the toes or lifting the knees as high as possible. Dynamic stretching exercises come with names like “Frankensteins” and “Butt-Kickers,” so they obviously are meant to be...

TL;DR in English: Hit the weight room. Find the right training spot. Take time to warm up and stretch out. Establish good technique. Don’t try to max out from the beginning. Build up your speed endurance.

There is only the one bolt in the center that fastens the harmonic balancer into place. Check you owner’s manual or service guide for proper torque specifications. Replace the bolts that fasten the water pump to the engine block. If you removed heater hoses from your water pump, you will need to slide them back onto the water pump. Once the hose is on the pump you can squeeze down the hose clamp with pliers and slide it up over where the hose and pump connect.  If the clamp has a tightening screw, tighten it with a screwdriver. This will secure the hose to the pump. If the lower radiator hose is still removed or if you removed the upper hose for any reason, put them back on the radiator now. Once the hose has been slid onto the radiator, use a pair of pliers to move the clamps up the hose to the place where the hose and the radiator meet. This will fasten the hose to the radiator. If your coolant looks dirty or if it has been more than a year since you last changed the coolant in your vehicle, use new coolant. Dilute the coolant as specified in your owner’s manual or service guide and fill to the mark that says “cool” or “cold” on the tank. If your coolant is clean and relatively new, you can pour the old coolant back into your radiator. You should use the routing diagram stamped on your hood or printed in your owner’s manual to make sure that the belt is run properly.  Pulleys with grooves are intended to meet the grooved side of the belt, but some flat pulleys are meant to be driven by the flat backside of the belt. This can be done by releasing the tensioner in a serpentine design.  If you are working with a V-belt design then you will need to tension the belt manually. A good rule of thumb is that the belt should have a maximum of 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of movement in the middle of the belt's longest run. Check your vehicle manual for more information. If in doubt, consult a mechanic. You do not want to start your engine without all of the appropriate accessories hooked up. Take a second look over everything...

TL;DR in English: Bolt on the harmonic balancer. Reinstall the water pump. Attach the heater hoses to the water pump. Replace the radiator hoses.

Open your notebook so the front and back are next to each other. Set it in the middle of your piece of fabric and grab your ruler, measuring 2" (5cm) more on each side. Make a line all around your journal, forming a large rectangle that's 2" wider than your notebook. Then, cut along this line. With your notebook still centered on the piece of fabric and 2" sticking out on either side, apply glue to the top and bottom flaps (the exposed 2 inches). Fold the top in first, and then fold in the bottom. Use plenty of glue; you don't want it coming up later. If you have one handy, use a foam paintbrush to spread the glue evenly over the fabric. That way it won't clump and be visible from the outside. With more glue placed on the left and right edges, fold up the flaps and attach them to the inside of the notebook cover. Do this for both the front and back covers.  You may want to crease triangles into the corners much like you're gift wrapping a present to give it a professional touch. You'll notice that where the binding is looks a little weird. To remedy this, cut two slits in the fabric where the spine is and get rid of this small square of fabric. Right now the inside of your journal probably looks less than perfect – it's just the exposed, raw edges of fabric and nothing else. To get rid of this, we'll cover it with cardboard and fabric. To get started:  Cut out two pieces of lightweight cardboard or heavy cardstock that's about 1" (2.5cm) smaller than the front and back cover. Cut out two pieces of fabric (a different fabric) that's 1-2" (2.5-5cm) larger than the cardboard you just cut out. Center the cardboard on the fabric and follow much the same method you did with your journal. Apply glue to the edges and fold in. In this case, it doesn't matter if you turn the corners into triangles or not – they won't be seen anyway. You'll only see the side of cardboard that's completely covered. Do this for both pieces of cardboard – one for the front and one for the back. The side covered in fabric will go face up on...

A fun alteration to conventional beads are wishbone shaped charms. This can add to the wish theme of the bracelet. To make wishbone charms, you'll need the following materials. You should be able to purchase them at a local craft or hardware store.  20 g wire Round nose pliers Chain nose pliers Oval Wubbers pliers Jeweler's hammer and block Use a ruler to measure your wire. You'll need about 30 millimeters, or 3 centimeters of wire for each charm. You should be able to cut the charm with a thick pair of scissors. From here, use your round nose pliers. Make a loop with the wires by twisting one end over the other, and then pulling downward. The loop itself should be small, with two long strands of wire hanging off either end. Remember, you're trying to create something like a wishbone, so keep this image in mind to gauge loop size. To make the loop look more like a wishbone, take your chain nose pliers. Twist the loop about 1/4 of the way around. The loop will now be sideways, with the strands hanging off on either side. You want to curve either side of the loop now. This will make it look more like a wishbone. Take your oval pliers and use them to gently curve either side of the loop inward. It can help to look at a picture of a wishbone online to figure out how much of a curve you want. The sides should be bent in slightly, but not curved to the point they're almost touching. You can braid your wishbone charm into your bracelet as you would braid in the regular beads. Slip the loop through the twine, push it to the edge of the braid, and then braid the wishbone charm into the center of twine.

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Cut a piece of wire for the charm. Use your pliers to make and then twist a loop in the wire. Use the oval pliers to curve the sides. Braid into your wish bracelet.

Say things like “I love you” to those you care about more often. Oxytocin not only contributes to feelings of empathy and compassion (two key components of love), it is also boosted when you verbally express these sentiments.  Similarly, tell friends and others in your life that you appreciate them by saying things like, "I'm really glad we met," or "It's great to have you in my life." Statements such as these will often lead to positive exchanges that give you both an increase in oxytocin. Touch of all sorts releases oxytocin into your brain, but different types of touch give bigger boosts. Hugs are especially powerful oxytocin boosters, especially when you're hugging someone you care about. Accordingly, get in the habit of hugging any loved ones you live with every day.  When meeting people in informal situations, consider suggesting a hug instead of a handshake. There is a considerable difference in the amount of oxytocin each of these acts will release. Massages are another way to boost oxytocin through touch. Hire a massage therapist or ask a loved one to give you a massage. Hugging is great, but an orgasm will usually give you an especially potent boost of oxytocin. This release of oxytocin can calm you down and it also increases feelings of trust between you and your partner. Simply imagining physical contact such as hugging or cuddling someone can give you a boost in oxytocin. This will be more effective when you imagine touching someone you have a physical and loving relationship with.

TL;DR in English: Tell people that you care about them. Give plenty of hugs. Have sex with someone you care about. Imagine physical contact.

You can remove seedlings and small saplings by hand pulling them, but this is only an option if the privet is taller than 15 inches (40 cm) and thinner than your wrist.  Pull the privet as early as possible to prevent it from producing seeds. Spring or early summer is ideal. Also note that the process is usually easiest when the soil is moist. Grab the privet stem at its base. Firmly pull it straight up and without twisting it. Twisting the privet can cause the roots to break, and if any roots remain in the soil, the plant can regrow. If the plant refuses to budge, it might be a sprout from a lateral root instead of a new plant. You'll need to try a different removal option if this is the case. If you're dealing with privet saplings thinner than 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter, you might be able to use a weed wrench to remove it.  Weed wrenches are most effective on privet with only a single stem, but you might be able to use one on multi-stemmed privet, as well. Place the mouth of the wrench around the base of the privet, then rock the long handle back and forth until the tool yanks up the plant. Pulling privet in this manner will disturb the soil, so you should avoid using this option in areas with plants you wish to preserve or when privet lies along stream banks and slopes. Once privet becomes wider than the average adult wrist, hammering is the most effective way to remove it without the use of chemicals.  In late winter, use a hammer and chisel to remove the bark from a 4 inch (10 cm) section of the trunk. Ideally, this section should lie above ground but beneath the first branch. Throughout the remaining growing period, continue wounding the bark to maintain this blank patch. Within a year or less, the privet should lose its foliage and gradually die off. After the privet dies, you can cut the trunk and dig up the stump. You can cut young privet by hand using standard weed cutters and similar tools, but when used alone, the privet will regrow.  If you do cut the privet, trim it as close to the ground as...

TL;DR in English: Hand pull small privet. Use a weed wrench. Hammer the bark of larger stems. Know the limits of hand cutting. Control privet growth by brush mulching.

You know why shy people get a bad rap? Because people mistake their shyness for being cold and aloof. Those are two qualities that really intimidate people and turn them off. So be the opposite! Being warm and kind are highly valued in any society -- it shows you have the other person's interests in mind and want the best for them. Who wouldn't like that? Initiate random acts of kindness. Do things for other people, even if you don't know them.  Hold a door when going in or out of a building, pick something up for a stranger when they drop it, and offer to take a picture for a group who looks like they're trying to take one. This type of selfless giving inspires others to do the same in return -- not just for you, but for others in their life as well. ..to a point. Generally speaking, people value a certain level of extroversion. It makes sense: we all want conversation and being social to be easy and extroverts lessen the risk of awkwardness. If you sit mutely at the table not contributing, well, you might as well be somewhere else. Chime in! Let your voice be heard. How else will people find out you're valuable?  However, if you know you're guilty of not being able to put a lid on it, so to speak, you may want to tone it down. While everyone likes a good conversationalist, they are not looking to spend their time with someone who won't let them get a word in edgewise. If the last 5 points that were made were yours, back off a bit.  The other person might not be the type that will jump in; they may need an invitation. Ask them their opinions to share the spotlight with you. People like likable people, not people who are dying to be liked. If you're constantly complimenting them and following them around like a puppy dog, you won't get what you want.

Do not use the word “ghost” in this report. It is not a real person. It is a ghost.

Add a title page to the beginning of your report. Write in clear and objective language. Include any relevant pictures if desired. Proofread your report

You may want to involve a family member or friend in this process so that you can make sure that you get all of the details that you need. Making an informed decision is important.  You may want to look at your plan’s brochure or schedule of benefits before actually contacting the insurance company. These written insurance materials should also have details about what is covered in your plan. If you don’t have insurance then treatment may be a little more difficult to obtain. However it is important to figure out how you are going to pay for your treatment. There are many social service programs that may be helpful. In addition, family and friends may be willing to assist financially so that you can get help. In general, the difference between the two treatment options is the level of intensity. Although both types can offer effective treatment programs, inpatient services tend to be more intense. Inpatient programs allow you to live at the facility with other people who are recovering from addictions and participate in daily meetings and support groups. Outpatient programs generally include counseling and monitoring but are not as intense as inpatient facilities.  Consider how severe your addiction is when deciding what type of treatment to undergo. If the addiction is severe and you are concerned that remaining at home while in treatment will result in you dropping out of the program, then an inpatient program is probably your best option. If the addiction is not extremely severe and you have other responsibilities like a job or children, you may want to consider an outpatient program. When making this decision you may want to asking for feedback from family members and other people who care about you. They may be able to see the situation a little more objectively. If you choose inpatient treatment, try to visit the facility in advance so that you are comfortable with where you will be living for the next few weeks or months. Be sure to tidy things up before you begin treatment. If you will be in inpatient...

If you can, try to dress like you “belong” at the haunted house. Wear dark jeans, a black T-shirt or jacket, and comfortable shoes. This might seem like a strange strategy, but wearing dark clothes makes you seem like  less of a haunted house newbie, which might discourage actors from targeting you. Dressing in black will also make it harder for the actors to notice you in the dark house. Haunted house actors tend to go for the people who are shrieking, laughing, running, or otherwise showing that they're freaked out! To avoid being targeted, try to stay as calm and in-control as you can and avoid singling yourself out.  If you get scared, tamp down on your reactions as much as you can. Instead of lurching back or yelling, try to just jump slightly and gasp. Take deep breaths and move slowly through the haunted house to stay in control of your reactions. You're in a haunted house, so you can safely assume that you'll be face-to-face with a scare every time you turn a corner. The shock of this can be more scary than anything, so try prepare yourself ahead of time. Tell yourself calmly that something might jump out at you around this, but that you're ready for it, so you won't get scared. When something does pop out, diffuse the tension and lighten your mood by thinking something like, “Wow, big surprise!” Staying relaxed and acting unaffected in a haunted house might be hard, but it's a great way to show actors that you're not afraid. While some actors might take this as a challenge, most try to go for the people who seem like the easiest to scare, instead of the ones looking them in the eye. Taking a position at the front gives the impression that you're not afraid of what's coming up next. The actors at haunted houses know that easily-scared people tend to stay in the middle or back of a group, so they'll often target that area, leaving the people in the front alone. You might even be able to tiptoe past before the actors even notice you.

TL;DR in English: Dress in all black so you don't stand out as much to actors. Avoid screaming or laughing, which will make actors want to scare you. Expect a scare around every corner so they don't catch you off-guard. Make eye contact with the actors and stand up straight to show that you're not afraid. Stand at the front to show that you're not the most scared in your group.

Ghosting is when you exhale some of the smoke, then inhale the cloud back into your mouth. Open you mouth roughly halfway and slowly exhale the smoke from your mouth for a few seconds. Be gentle, keeping the smoke from getting too far from your face. Think of letting the smoke escape, instead of forcing it out. Keep your lips together and lean forward, sucking up all the smoke like a vacuum or Ghostbuster. Let the smoke out of your mouth and then bring it back, but you can do it much faster with a snap inhale:  Curl your tongue up to the roof of your mouth with your lips still closed and mouth filled with smoke. Snap your tongue down as your mouth opens to push the smoke out in a puff of air. Suck back in the cloud of smoke like a normal ghost, but do it quickly, before it fades away.

TL;DR in English: Keep the smoke in your mouth after a medium-sized drag. Open your mouth and exhale gently. Quickly inhale the smoke back. Adapt this into a "Snap Inhale" as you get more comfortable.

The title should be the name of the visit and site, such as "Visit to Airplane Factory" or "Corporate Headquarters Visit Report." Under the title, include your name, your institution, and the date of the visit. Do not put any other information on this page. If you are following a certain style guideline, like APA or Chicago style, make sure to format the title page according to the rules of the handbook. Keep your sentences short and concise. Avoid writing with too many adjectives or flowery language. This will make your report clear and direct. Don’t just say “the visit was interesting” or “I was bored.” Be specific when describing what you learned or saw. While pictures are usually not required, they may be helpful in some visit reports. Group photographs, images of machinery, or graphics demonstrating the layout of the site might be helpful. carefully. Check for any grammatical errors or typos. Ask someone else to read over it for you to make sure it sounds good. If you’re a student, check your professor’s guidelines to make sure that you have all of the required parts.

TL;DR in English:


Take action early. Tell your friend not to drive anywhere. Be firm. Remember who you’re talking to. Lay your feelings on the line. Get support from others.

Show respect and be polite to your grandparents. Even if they ask the same questions over and over or struggle to hear what you say, show your care in how you interact. Respond in a calm tone when they ask you questions or need something. If they are talking, listen patiently without interrupting them. This shows that you value and respect them. Take a break if you’re feeling frustrated. Come back in a few minutes after you’ve cooled off. One of the greatest ways to show care is by spending time together.  Spend time getting to know them. Watch a favorite television show, take a walk in the park together each week, or get together each week for dinner. Have them teach you a game, then teach them one you know. Have something special that you do together. For example, take a walk at the park each week or go for ice cream together. Ask your grandparents about their memories and stories from their lives. Get to know your family history. Ask about their life, and ask what it was like you have your parent as their child. Consider drawing a family tree and make it with your grandparents. Grandparents are some of the best people to go to for advice. They have lived much longer than you have and had lots of experiences, both good and bad, to share with you. If you have something weighing on your mind, bring it to a grandparent to discuss. Not only will it give you a new perspective, it will also make your grandparents feel appreciated and valued. Ask advice about things like going to college, dating, marriage, and kids. If you want a second opinion, go to a grandparent. Some days may be harder than others, but remember that you are doing something for someone you love. If your grandparent asks for a lot of help, think about what you are willing and able to do, then do it with a positive attitude. Especially if your grandparents feel lonely, make an effort to be sociable and happy around them.

TL;DR in English: Be polite. Spend time with them. Inquire about their lives. Ask for advice. Be cheerful.

and drain 1 cup (175 g) of short-grain rice. Measure out 1 cup (175 g) of short-grain rice into a bowl and fill it with enough water to cover it completely. Stir the rice around with your hands, then drain it through a fine mesh strainer. Repeat the process until the water you drain away is clear and not cloudy anymore. Rinsing rice removes all the starch from the outside and makes it less sticky. When the water runs clear, it means you have washed away all the starch. Set the pot with the rice and milk on a burner on the stovetop. Turn the burner’s heat to medium-high, then bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Turn the heat down to low so the mixture is just simmering. Put a lid on the pot to cover it. Make sure that the rice and milk are simmering gently while covered. If the mixture starts to boil, decrease the heat further so the milk doesn’t get absorbed too fast. Continue to let the rice and milk cook until it has thickened but there is still creamy liquid visible. Stir the pot after the first 10 minutes and after 18 minutes to mix the rice and milk together and check the consistency.

Wash 4 oranges and use a sharp knife to cut each orange into four pieces or wedges. If you're concerned about consuming pesticides, use organic oranges in this recipe. Pull the fruit away from the peels. Take a spoon and scrape away as much of the white pith as you can. Use a knife to cut the peels into long, narrow strips. They should be about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) (6 mm) wide. You can eat the fruit or save it to use in another recipe. Place the strips of orange peel into a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover them. Turn the heat on to high and bring the water to a boil. When the water boils, you can turn off the heat and place a colander in the sink. Drain the water through the colander and return the strips to the saucepan. Fill the pot with new water so the orange peel strips are covered. Bring the water to boil and drain it again. Repeat this another time for a total of three times. Drain the strips into the colander. Boiling the strips and draining them three times removes the bitterness from the peel. Place 3 cups (600 g) of sugar into the empty saucepan and pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of water. Stir the mixture and turn the heat to high so it begins to boil. The sugar should dissolve and turn into a syrup. Insert an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of the syrup. Once the temperature is at 230 degrees F (110 degrees C), stir in the orange peel strips. Turn the heat down to a gentle bubble and let the strips simmer for about 30 minutes.  The strips should become almost clear once they've finished cooking. If you live at a high elevation, you may need a much longer cooking time. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to scoop the orange peel strips out of the saucepan. Place them in a single layer on a wire rack and let them cool for 4 to 5 hours. They should completely dry out. For an extra crunch, you can roll the strips in some granulated sugar before you dry them. Eat the strips or garnish desserts with them as soon as they're dried. You can store the leftover candied orange...

TL;DR in English: Wash and cut the oranges. Peel and cut the peels into strips. Boil and drain the strips. Boil and drain the strips two more times. Create a simple syrup. Add the strips and simmer them for 30 minutes. Dry the strips for 4 to 5 hours. Use or store the candied orange strips.

Don’t wait until the end of the night when your friend might be tired and belligerent enough not to listen to you. If you can tell that your friend is well on his way to drunkenness and characteristically fails to see that he needs to relinquish his keys, act early on so that you don't make a scene or cause unnecessary conflict. The worst thing that could happen is that you were a bit too cautious and end up returning the keys with a laugh to your now-sober buddy. You may need to be more assertive than you're used to, and even handle accusations that you're spoiling the fun or trying to be controlling. Be prepared to be talked back to, and don't take rude charges personally. Remembering that it's the alcohol talking, stay polite and calm. Tell your friend that you care about him and that this is why you must try to prevent him from creating a situation where he or others are in harm's way.  Always refuse to get in the car with your friend. This can be another gesture to show him that you are serious about not trusting his ability to operate a vehicle.  If the situation allows for it, pepper your talk with some jokes or light comments. While firmly maintaining that he not drive, you can still say things like "Man, we'll be talking about this night for a long time!" or "Good thing I'm just as stubborn about this as you are!" This will make you sound a little less insistent and parental. If there is someone else around who is a closer friend to your buddy than you are, inform them of the possible danger. Your friend might listen better to someone who he is more comfortable with or has known for a longer time. You may not be sure whether or not you are getting through to your friend, but it is important to stick by your warning. Ask your friend to repeat back to you what you said to make sure that they have a minimal grasp on what's going on. For example, "I am asking that you not get in the car right now, and we are willing to help you make other transportation arrangements. Do you understand?" If your friend...

Learn to accept yourself as you are now. Challenge negative thoughts. Reevaluate your beliefs. Determine if there is a deeper problem.

You should still pursue activities you enjoy, even if they trigger your partner’s anxiety disorder. Being a supportive partner doesn’t mean their anxiety should take over your life.  Suppose they have social anxiety, but you love to go to concerts. If your favorite band comes to town, go to their show with a few friends. They don't have to go, but you shouldn’t sit it out just because your partner can’t tolerate large crowds. You can’t force your partner to do something that makes them uncomfortable, and they can’t force you to give up your passions. Furthermore, keeping up with your hobbies and interests is an important part of maintaining your own physical and mental health. Try to find time to read a good book, listen to music, take a bubble bath, or do other relaxing activities. If you can't fit daily me-time into your schedule, try to fit it in at least a few days a week.  Juggling daily responsibilities is stressful enough; supporting your partner can add even more pressure.  Managing stress will help you maintain your own mental health and avoid burnout. Being stressed out and stretched thin would take a toll on you, your partner, and your relationship. If you’re frustrated or overwhelmed, you’re better off talking to a friend or relative than you are taking it out on your partner. When you need to vent, call a trusted loved one and confide in them. Finding a support group or seeing a counselor individually can also help you maintain your mental and emotional well-being.

TL;DR in English: Pursue your own interests and hobbies. Set aside time to relax. Keep in touch with your support system.

Each allele will fit into the two boxes below it or to the right of it, depending on its placement. For example, if the allele B is in the horizontal top-left corner, write B in the two left boxes below. If the allele B is in the vertical top left corner, you must write B in the two boxes to the right. Continue to fill in the boxes with alleles until each box has two alleles, one from each parent.  The convention is to always write the capital dominant allele first followed by the lowercase recessive allele. For our hair color example two brown-haired parents could either be BB or Bb. You would have to know their specific genotype. However, if the parent is blonde you know their genotype is the recessive bb. For a monohybrid cross, there are only three possible genotypes: BB, Bb, and bb. BB (brown hair) and bb (blonde hair) are homozygous for a gene meaning that they have two identical alleles for one gene. Bb (brown hair) are heterozygous meaning that they have two different alleles for the gene. Some crosses may only give you one or two genotypes.  For our example, using the cross BB x Bb, the Punnett square would show the possibilities as two BB and two Bb. If you cross two homozygous parents with the same genotype (BB x BB or bb x bb) all of the genotypes will be homozygous (BB or bb). If you cross two homozygous parents with different genotypes, BB x bb, all of the genotypes will be Bb. If you cross a heterozygous with a homozygous parent (BB x Bb or bb x Bb), you will have two homozygotes (BB or bb) and two heterozygotes (Bb). If you cross two heterozygous parents, Bb x Bb, you will have two homozygotes (1 BB and 1 bb) and two heterozygotes (Bb) Using the counts from the previous step, you can determine the phenotype ratio. A phenotype is the physical characteristic of the gene, such as hair or eye color. Assuming the trait shows complete dominance, the heterozygous genotype (the cross showing dissimilar pairs of genes for a hereditary characteristic) will display the dominant phenotype. In the BB x Bb...

TL;DR in English: Match the alleles together using the boxes as guides. Count the number of each genotype. Calculate the phenotype ratio.

Pour 2 cups (470 ml) of vegetable oil into a deep pan and adjust the stovetop temperature to a high setting. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the oil as it heats. Once the oil has reached the desired temperature, use a slotted spoon to carefully place 1 pocket into the pan. Set the timer for 20 seconds and use a slotted spoon to remove the pocket once the time is up.  You may be able to fit more than 1 ravioli pocket in the pan at a time. Just make sure that the pockets aren’t touching, otherwise, they will stick together as they cook. The short deep-frying time of only 20 seconds is necessary so that the deep-fried beer remains alcoholic.  The ravioli pockets need to be more soft than crispy when making deep-fried beer. As each ravioli pocket is removed from the pan, transfer it directly onto a plate that is covered with paper towels. This will help to absorb the extra oil. Place the ravioli pockets next to each other rather than stacking them. When the deep-fried beer pockets have been removed from the pan, they will be hot and may burn you if you touch them. Leave them to cool on the paper towel for a few minutes before enjoying your first taste of deep-fried beer!  Hold the deep-fried beer pockets upright as you eat them, otherwise, the beer will spill.  You can serve the deep-fried beer pockets with cheese sauce for dipping.

TL;DR in English: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan until it reaches 325 °F (163 °C). Deep-fry the ravioli pockets in the oil for 20 seconds each. Place the ravioli pockets on paper towels to soak up the excess oil. Let the deep-fried beer pockets cool for 3-4 minutes before serving.

Even if you are overweight, your body is still an amazing thing. Your heart never stops beating. Your brain is a super-computer. Your eyes allow you to see the wonders of life and your environment. You have so much to be grateful for if you are able to see, hear, smell, move, and think for yourself. Practice a few body-loving exercises to learn to accept your body as it is.  As you rise from your bed each morning, wonder at the strength and perseverance of your body. Your legs carry you around. Your arms tie your shoes and hold objects. Your nose can catch the scent of fresh-brewed coffee. Isn't your body a miracle? Stand in front of the mirror and think positively about what you see before you. Before you step into the shower or change clothes, stand naked or in your underwear and admire your miraculous body. Recite this:  “I fully accept and love myself right now just the way I am. I’m grateful for my wonderful body and for the gift of life.” If, during the course of these exercises, negative thoughts enter your mind, don't entertain them. Instead, reflect upon how awesome your body is.  Reframing means changing your negative perspective into a positive one. It takes practice but once you are able to identify which thoughts are unhelpful or negative (Hint: Those that make you feel bad.), you can tear this self-talk apart and reframe it. For example, you might say: "I look terrible in this outfit. Everyone will laugh at me." While reframing, ask yourself has there ever been a time when everyone laughed at you. If the answer is no, you can reframe this statement to say "Everyone has a different idea of style. I like this outfit and that is what's most important." This reframing is not only more positive but also more realistic. Sometimes, we feel bad about ourselves because we are holding on to ingrained beliefs about what we should or should not be. An example of an ingrained belief is, "In order to be attractive, I have to be thin." Know that it's OK to release beliefs that no longer serve you.  Ask...

An agent can help get your script into the right hands. Agents will list on their website specific instructions on how to submit your writing. The Writer's Guild of America is a reputable resource for finding agencies.  Almost all agents will require a query letter. This is a letter in which you sell your writing and yourself to the agent. Some require a specific format so check their website. All are looking for something that stands out so make sure your letter highlights the best parts of you and your writing. An agent shouldn't charge upfront to represent you. Most agents' fees are 10-12 percent after they broker your deal. If an agent asks you to pay a fee just for representation, move on to another agency. You can look up information online about how to submit your script to them as they have specific, individual instructions. Many do not accept scripts, depending on legal issues with their current shows. The ones that will accept them usually have instructions on their company site for submitting episode manuscripts. Becoming a writer's or producer's assistant is an excellent way to get your foot in the door of TV writing. You will not make much money, but you will be exposed to a TV show from the off camera point of view. This will allow you to read scripts, see how writers and producers work in real time, and make numerous connections within the industry. Check out the job opportunities section on the home page of the production company you are interested in joining. Search online for workshops, conventions, or meet and greets in your field. Join media groups online and follow them on social media. The more connections you make, the better your chance of getting a foot in the door.

TL;DR in English: Get an agent. Send your script to TV showrunners and executive producers. Apply for a job as an assistant. Network as often as possible.

Stop dressing and acting like you're hot stuff. You know the guy: the one that looks like he just stepped out from doing his test shots with a cheesy modeling agency, the one who gives The Look to every hot girl that walks by. Don't be that guy. Yes, women are initially attracted to this. But eventually they think that you're more interested in attracting women, in general, instead of attracting them.  Don't dress overly flashy and try to focus on wearing things that you know she likes, rather than trying to think about looking how you think women like. You should similarly save the flirting and close conversations for her and not use them with other women. Taking care of yourself shows her that you can also take care of her if she ever wants to be taken care of. Practice good hygiene and exercise. You don't need to worry about losing weight, but you should feel healthy and in shape. Similarly, eat a healthy diet! Dressing poorly by wearing clothes that don't fit or have stains or holes show a woman that you don't respect yourself (which doesn't work in your favor!). Dressing in clothes that are out of date (too old fashioned), usually shows that you are mentally stuck in that time and cannot move forward. In order to show a woman that her heart is safe with you, dress in modern clothes that look good on your body, fit, and are clean. Women love someone who smells great. Shower regularly, use deodorant, brush your teeth, and you might even want to consider using a cologne or body spray. Citrus scents usually make for a clean scent that isn't overpowering, so they are a good place to start if you're not sure. Confidence is sexy to everyone! Show her how confident you are by taking initiative, never talking poorly of yourself, and speaking up for yourself (with other people too, not just around her).

TL;DR in English: Don't try to attract every woman, try to attract her. Take care of your body. Dress like you mean business. Smell great. Be confident.

Rollers should be left in your hair for around 10 hours so a good time to have them in is while you sleep. Since you will need to wash your hair before putting in the rollers, it also makes sense to do this at night. It is best to put in the curlers when your hair is damp so that the curls last longer. Additionally, the hair will be easier to work with if it is damp.  Let your hair air dry rather than using a towel. Using a towel will make your hair difficult to put into rollers. Only use water when washing your hair before a curling. Combing your hair can help straighten it out so that the rollers will be more effective. Refer to this article about combing for more information. Continue combing until the comb does not catch any knots. It is best to use a spray as a cream can leave white flakes behind in your hair. Let the spray sit in your damp, combed hair for around 3-5 minutes before putting in the rollers. Divide your hair into equal 1-inch wide sections. Roll each of these sections into the roller so that your hair looks uniformly curly after the rollers are removed. Continue putting in the rollers until all of your hair is rolled up. If you do not have naturally curly hair, hairspray is the key to ensuring your curls will last a long time. Do not use much more than three sprays since too much hairspray can be damaging to your hair and the environment. Remove the rollers slowly so that your hair does not snag. Instead of pulling the rollers, roll them out. Reverse the process of putting them in. Apply even more hairspray to ensure that your curls last for a long time.

TL;DR in English: Start this process at night time. Wash your hair then let it dry so that it is damp. Comb your hair to remove any knots. Apply a curling enhancer before putting in the rollers. Put in the rollers. Apply a few more sprays of hairspray after you have applied the curlers. Remove the rollers in the morning to finish the process of curling your hair.

Wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Apply a styling gel to small sections of hair. Stretch your hair out with a comb, starting from the back. Dry your hair under a hooded dryer to set your style quickly. Repeat the process whenever you wash your hair to maintain the style.

Pour ice into a mixing glass and add 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of overproof bourbon whiskey and 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of sambuca. Then add 4 dashes of bitters and stir the ingredients together. Finally, use a strainer to strain the cocktail into a small rocks glass with ice.   Add 2 twists of lemon peel to the top of the drink for a zesty garnish. You can use other forms of whiskey besides bourbon for this drink, though you should make sure that the drink you use has a relatively high proof so that its flavor isn’t totally masked by that of the sambuca. Fill a mixing glass with ice and pour 0.75 fluid ounces (22 mL) of cinnamon liqueur, 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of vodka, and 0.5 fluid ounces (15 mL) of sambuca into the glass. Stir the ingredients together and then use a strainer to strain the cocktail into a chilled cocktail glass.  This drink is sometimes referred to as a “10 Below cocktail.” You can garnish this drink with a preserved, sweetened cherry, such as a maraschino cherry. Place ice inside a cocktail shaker and add 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of sambuca, 0.5 fluid ounces (15 mL) of lemon juice, and 0.25 fluid ounces (7.4 mL) of simple syrup. Shake the ingredients together and then use a strainer to strain them into a champagne flute. Finally, add a long, skinny lemon peel to the cocktail and then top the whole thing off with 4 fluid ounces (120 mL) of sparkling wine.  Make sure you add the lemon peel before you add the sparkling wine, as pouring in the wine without the lemon peel already in the cocktail will cause it to bubble up too fast. You can also add a brandied cherry to the drink as a final garnish. You may see this drink referred to as a “Sambuca 75,” as it’s a variation of an established cocktail known as the “French 75.” Simply pour 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of gin, 1.5 fluid ounces (44 mL) of sambuca, and 3-5 dashes of orange bitters into a mixing glass with ice. Stir the ingredients together, then use a strainer to strain them into a chilled cocktail glass. Sambuca is typically drunk at the end of a...

TL;DR in English: Mix sambuca, whiskey, and bitters to make a Sambuca Sazerac. Use cinnamon liqueur, sambuca, and vodka to make a spicy cocktail. Add sparkling wine to sambuca, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Start a meal with a drink made from sambuca, gin, and orange bitters. Make a Sambuca Summer out of sambuca, tequila, lime juice, and agave syrup.

The first sentence of your paragraph needs to be the topic sentence. A topic sentence is an introductory line that addresses what the main idea or thesis of the paragraph is going to be. It should contain the most important and relevant point you wish to make regarding your topic, thus summarizing the paragraph as a whole. Don't: use an obvious fact as your topic sentence.Do: feel free to start with a vague idea if you feel stuck, and improve it once you've finished the paragraph.  Every other sentence you write should support the topic sentence and provide further detail and discussion of the issues or ideas it raises. If any sentence you write cannot be directly related to the topic sentence, it should not be included in this particular paragraph. More experienced writers can include their topic sentence at any point in the paragraph; it doesn't necessarily need to be the first line. However, writers who are new or less comfortable with paragraph writing should stick with having the topic sentence first, as it will help to guide you throughout the rest of the paragraph.  Your topic sentence should not be too broad or too narrow. If your topic sentence is too broad you will not be able to discuss its ideas adequately in your paragraph. If it’s too narrow, you won’t have enough to discuss. Once you have written and are happy with your topic sentence, you can start to fill in the rest of your paragraph. This is where the detailed, well-structured notes you wrote earlier will come in handy. Make sure that your paragraph is coherent, which means that it is easy to read and understand, that each sentence connects with the next and that everything flows nicely as a whole. To achieve this, try to write clear, simple sentences that express exactly what you want to say.  Link each sentence with transition words which form a bridge between one sentence and the next. Transition words can help you compare and contrast, show sequence, show cause and effect, highlight important ideas, and progress smoothly from one idea...

TL;DR in English: Write a topic sentence. Fill in the supporting details. Write a concluding sentence. Know when to move on to a new paragraph.

Look at the inside of a ring's band to find the hallmark that indicates the platinum purity. Find this marking as a sure way to determine that the ring is truly made of platinum.  You may need a magnifying glass to see the fine engraving on a small ring. If there is no engraved hallmark, the ring is not platinum, or is made with less than 50% of it and cannot be considered and marked as platinum. Check the inner band for a symbol that you can use to quickly identify if the ring is made with real platinum. The type and presence of the symbol depends on the country of origin; sometimes there may only be words and numbers instead of a symbol.  In the U.S., you will see a symbol that resembles a house shape (triangle atop a rectangle), or simply a combination of letters and numbers. In India, you will find a symbol created by an uppercase “P” and a lowercase “t,” followed by the number 950. In China, you will find the English letters “Pt,” perhaps alongside other Chinese characters. In Japan, you will see “Pt” followed by the number 850, 900, 950, or 999. Look at the numbers and/or letters that are given as part of the platinum hallmark. The letters will designate the ring as platinum, while the numbers indicate how many parts out of 1000 are pure platinum by weight.  If letters are given, they will say either PT, PLAT, or PLATINUM, which indicates that the ring is at least 95% platinum.  In the U.S., the number given before or after these letters can be 850, 900, or 950. This indicates that the ring is made with 85%, 90%, or 95% pure platinum, respectively. The other percentage of the ring composition is a metal that the platinum is alloyed with to make it harder.

TL;DR in English: Locate the hallmark on the inside of the band. Look for a symbol that indicates platinum. Read the letters and numbers of the hallmark.

For even better results, choose a detangling conditioner--this will make it easier to detangle your hair. Once your hair is clean, comb it with a wide-toothed comb, starting from the ends.  This method works best for kinky or naturally curly hair. It won’t work on braids or relaxed hair. Brush your hair with a Denman brush while it is still wet to enhance natural curls. Detangle your hair with a wide-toothed comb while the conditioner is still in it. Always start from the ends and work your way up to the roots. Choose a styling gel meant for bringing out curls, and apply it to 1⁄2 to 1 in (1.3 to 2.5 cm) sections of hair. If you need to, run a wide-toothed comb through your hair to evenly distribute the gel.  When buying gel, look for labels such as "For Curly Hair" or "Curl Defining." Focus more on the ends and mid-lengths. The closer you get to the roots, the less product you should use. Grab a thin section of hair from the back of your head, right at the nape. Run a medium-toothed comb or Denman brush through the section, starting at the roots and finishing at the ends. Pull the hair strand firmly enough so that it becomes longer and the curls smoother.  Repeat this process for the rest of your hair. Start in the back of your head and finish in the front. Mist your hair with water as you work so that it does not dry. It must be damp. How long you sit under the dryer depends on how thick and porous your hair is. The thicker and more porous it is, the longer it will take to dry.  If you want your hair parted in a specific way, create the part before you sit under the dryer. You can also use a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment at home. This helps elongate and set the curls while dispersing an even airflow. Due to your hair type, you shouldn't be washing your hair more than once per week. When you do wash your hair, however, the style will come out. Your hair will still be naturally curly, but the curls won't be as defined. To define them again, you'll have to repeat the process in this section.

TL;DR in English:


Validate the other person’s feelings and point of view. Establish what changes you need to see. Collaborate on a plan and a singular vision. Thank the person and walk away.

Pink comes in many different shades, ranging from very pale to very dark. Each shade has its own benefits and will do different things for your overall look. For example:  Try a light shade if you want something that is easy to work with and maintain. Examples include: baby, cotton candy, pale, and pastel. Try a bright, neon-shade if you want a longer-lasting dye job. Examples include: atomic, carnation, cupcake, flamingo, magenta, and shocking. Stick with a deep shade if you have dark hair and can't bleach it light enough. Examples include: bordeaux, eggplant, violet gem, and virgin rose. In most cases, you should match your hair's tone to your skin's undertone. For example, if your skin has warm (yellow) undertones, choose a warm shade of pink that has orange or yellow tints to it. If your skin has cool (pink) undertones, stick with a cool shade of pink with hints of violet or blue. If you can't decide on a color, go to a wig shop and try on wigs in various shades. In most cases, you will need to bleach your hair. Keep in mind, however, that you can only bleach your hair so much. In these cases, you may have to settle for a darker shade of pink. For example, if you have dark brown or black hair, you may not be able to bleach it light enough in order to get a pastel pink shade. You may have to settle for a darker shade of pink instead. If you work in a professional environment with a strict dress code, that bright shade of pink may not be the best choice and may earn you a citation--the same goes for schools. If you work in an environment that allows for creativity (i.e. an art studio or an art school), then you might look right at home with your hot pink locks.  If your school or job has a strict dress code, consider a more natural shade of pink, such as rose gold. Ask your principal/employer if the color your want will be acceptable.

TL;DR in English: Decide how light or dark you want your hair to be. Choose a shade that flatters your skin's undertones. Be willing to compromise and choose a darker shade if you have dark hair. Select a shade that complies with your school or work dress code.

Fruits and vegetables are loaded with nutrients and fiber, and they’re lower in calories than most other foods; especially if they're organic (pesticide-free).  Fill up half of your plate with 1 to 2 servings of vegetables or fruits at each meal. This will help you to fill up faster and stay full longer.  You can steam, stir-fry, roast, or boil your vegetables. Prepare them however you like! Try having a side salad or raw vegetable slices with your meal if you don’t want to cook vegetables. If you’re in a hurry, opt for a fresh whole fruit that you can eat on the go, such as an apple or banana, or grab a container of cooked fruit. Whole-grain versions of carbohydrate-dense foods are healthier for you because they contain more fiber and nutrients. They also help to keep you full and sustain your energy levels for longer. Opt for whole wheat bread, whole-wheat pasta, and brown rice, instead of white versions of these foods. Some other healthy whole grains you might include are:  Quinoa Barley Rye bread Oats Protein should make up about 1/4 of your plate at each meal. Protein-rich foods include meat, fish, beans, and eggs. Some dairy products are also high in protein, such as cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Opt for lean proteins, such as skinless chicken breast, tilapia, ground turkey, beans, tofu, and egg whites. This will reduce the amount of fat and cholesterol in your diet, which is better for you overall. Check the item’s packaging to find the serving size. Serving sizes vary among different types of protein foods. For example, a serving of meat or fish is 3 oz (85 g) while serving of beans or cottage cheese is 1/2 cup (120 g). A healthy level of fat in your diet is between 20 and 35%. For someone following a 2,000 calorie diet, this would work out to about 44 to 77 grams of fat daily since each gram is worth about 9 calories. But it’s best to consume healthy fats, such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, and limit or avoid unhealthy ones, such as saturated fats and trans fats. Include 2 to 3...

TL;DR in English: Fill your plate half-full of vegetables and fruits at each meal. Include whole grains and limit refined carbohydrates. Add a serving of lean protein to your plate at each meal. Limit your intake of oils and fats. Drink mostly water and limit or avoid sugary drinks. Allow yourself the occasional treat and don’t make any foods “off-limits.

Monster cards are summoned to attack your opponent’s Life Points and defend your own. They are usually orange (effect) or yellow (normal) in color, but there are many other colors as well. Monsters have levels, ranging from 1-12, which are indicated by the stars along the top, and a symbol in the top right corner indicating Attribute. Above the card text, the Type, the kind of monster, and monster abilities such as Tuner or Flip are written in bold. The Attack and Defense stats are listed as ATK and DEF along the bottom.   Effect monsters have effects which affect the game, but normal monsters only have lore. Effect Monsters are the most commonly used type of monster, as their effects can be quite powerful. Normal monsters are not as useful, but have some good support and are used in certain types of decks. Extra Deck monsters without an effect are Non-Effect Monsters, neither Normal nor Effect monsters. Tokens are a type of monster summoned by an effect. They can be represented by anything small that can indicate attack and defense position. Token cards cannot be in either deck, and can only exist face-up on the field. Therefore they can't be sent to Graveyard or banished for cost, flipped face-down, or become Xyz Material. They are treated as Normal monsters, and are given their name, attack, defense, level, attribute, and type by the card used to summon them. Official Token cards are gray. Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link monsters cannot exist in the hand or deck, and must go in the Extra Deck. Xyz monsters have black backgrounds, and Ranks instead of Levels. Synchro monsters are white, Fusion monsters are violet, and Link monsters are blue with a hex background. They each have their own specific summoning methods and must first be Special Summoned using that method before they can be summoned any other way (revived from the Graveyard, etc.). Some of these monsters have special requirements for the monsters used to summon them (known as the materials), which are written on the first line of the text. Ritual...

TL;DR in English: Use  monster cards. Summon your monster to the field. Use special summoning: Enter the Extra Monster Zone. Cast spell cards. Play trap cards.

Now you can further connect with this person by explaining that how she feels is valid. However, it's her actions which aren’t valid.  If you’re in a workplace scenario where you are talking to a coworker you can say something like “I understand that the workload and meeting deadlines can be stressful. And you’re right to feel angry or upset, I feel that way sometimes.” By connecting with this person, even if it’s hard to, and validating her feelings, you are changing your relationship in a positive way. Instead of being enemies, you are now on the same team. Be clear about what kind of changes you need, and don’t get emotional or irrational.   You need to set boundaries with the other person. If you outline boundaries for what’s acceptable or what you will put up with, you can begin to work on a resolution. If you know that certain things won’t change, focus on things you can change. If you’re in a workplace scenario and this person is never meeting deadlines and always coming in late, focus on one problem at a time. Assertive people will be clear about what is needed but without berating a person. Aggressive behavior involves piling on and being accusatory. If having this person meet deadlines is more important than coming in a few minutes late, be clear about it. Say “You haven’t met the last three deadlines, and I need you to meet your deadlines going forward. And if you can’t, then I will have to review your employment status with the company.” You’re not circumventing the situation at hand and being vague when you are concrete and specific. Now ask this person what the two of you can do to make what you need a reality. Formulate a plan that puts both of you on the same page.  Being assertive means working together while resolving an issue. Aggressive people will demand a change but not help. And passive-aggressive people will solve a problem without communication at all. If you need this person to start meeting deadlines, then together, communicate on how that can be achieved. Offer alternative...

There are few more common, and more awkward, social moments then the debate between a hug and a handshake. One of the best indicators is someone's hands. If they extend their right hand towards you you can be pretty sure they want a handshake. However, if their hands move out, opening up their torso, there is a good chance they're expecting a hug. If you end up stuck between a hug and a handshake, simple wrap one arm around the lower back for a one-handed hug. Lean in so that one of your shoulders touches his, but don't feel like you need to really embrace him if you don't want to. You can keep some distance, or angle your body away from him to keep things casual. This is a great way to end an awkward "what should we do" moment. Just wrap the arm, hug quickly, then stand back. There is no reason why you can't stick your hand out or simply move to a hug if you want. Without fail, the guy will adapt to you, so just take the initiative and move in however your feel comfortable. Just make eye contact and go for it-- there are very few guys who do not enjoy a hug from a woman. That said, there are times when you're better off sticking to a handshake, such as:  Buisness or professional settings. The first time you meet him. When you are unsure about his boundaries If you do not know/feel unsure about local or international customs. This can demonstrate a sense of ease or camaraderie. For example, you start with a quick wave, a high-five or a fist bump. This sets a casual, platonic mood between you and him. You could start with a high five before drawing him into an embrace, or you could playfully give him a light punch or fist bump on the shoulder.  If he smiles, makes eye contact, and seems at ease, you can always move in for a hug when you say good bye. A quick wave and a smile from a distance is often a good way to gauge if they want a hug. If he responds warmly, just move on it. If you know someone is a "hugger," or you just don't feel like a hug is appropriate for any reason, take charge and stick your hand...

TL;DR in English: Look for open arms and body language. Use a simple one-armed handshake to adjust an awkward embrace. Take charge if the guy seems awkward or unsure of what to do. Skip the hassle of a hug altogether and use different, more casual greeting. Avoid hugs you don't want with a smile and your hand firmly extended.

and avoid shallow chest breathing. It’s easy to get in the habit of taking short, shallow breaths without even realizing it. However, it’s important to train yourself to breathe deeply since deep breaths are better at oxygenating your body and can actually help reduce stress. Take a moment to pay attention to your breathing. If only your chest is rising and falling when you breathe, you’re likely taking shallow breaths. You want to use your diaphragm when you breathe, which is a thin muscle underneath your lungs. When you take a deep breath, your diaphragm moves downward and gives your lungs more room to fill up and expand. You'll know you're breathing with your diaphragm if your belly expands when you inhale. Breathing through your nose helps purify the air so you’re not inhaling as many irritants. It also helps regulate the temperature of the air you’re breathing in. If you normally breathe through your mouth, practice closing your mouth and inhaling through your nose. Then, exhale through your nose or mouth, whichever is most comfortable. Inhaling through your nose might be difficult at first if you’re used to breathing with your mouth, but it will get easier over time with practice. Slouching and tensing your muscles makes it harder to take full, deep breaths. Instead, you want to stand up straight, relax your shoulders, and loosen your joints so it’s easier to breathe.  Try slouching forward, lifting your shoulders up toward your head so they’re tense, and taking a deep breath. Then, stand up straight, relax your shoulders, and take another deep breath. You should be able to feel how much easier it is to breathe when you have good posture and you're relaxed. Whenever you catch yourself slouching or tensing up, adjust your posture and take a moment to relax your muscles. Since you don’t usually realize that you’re breathing, it can be tricky to notice whether or not you’re doing it properly. However, you can schedule regular check-ins throughout the day—like first thing in the morning and at lunchtime—to...

TL;DR in English: Take deep breaths Inhale through your nose instead of your mouth. Maintain good posture and keep your body relaxed. Check in on your breathing throughout the day to see if you’re improving. Try calming breathing exercises whenever you're feeling anxious or stressed.

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

Perform dips, either on a set of bars or a raised ledge. Try close-armed or diamond pushups. Try out some L-sits to work your triceps and core simultaneously. Try triceps extensions on a horizontal bar or surface. Give handstand push-ups a shot to really shred your triceps.

Spray tanning is a form of sunless tanning where a fine mist that includes tanning ingredients is sprayed onto your body (the same ingredient in self tanning lotion). Spray tans are growing in popularity because they are safe, easy, and fairly long-lasting (typically 7 days). The biggest drawback of spray tanning is the cost - usually $25-$50. There are a few things you should do to prepare yourself before getting a spray tan.  Shave or wax before your appointment. This will help the tan to better soak into your skin. Exfoliate your skin prior to your appointment. Getting rid of as much dead skin as possible will get you better results. Don't apply lotion, deodorant, or makeup prior to your appointment. Clean skin will soak in the tan much better. Wait 8 hours after your spray tan to shower or apply any lotion / moisturizer. Tanning beds use ultraviolet light to create UV radiation. This UV radiation creates a glow to tan the skin, just like UV light from the sun. Although tanning beds have become fairly popular, there are many health risks (including skin cancer) associated with them, and you must be careful if you choose to tan this way.  If you decide to use a tanning bed, a time of 7-11 minutes is recommended. Even if you tan often, never go in a tanning bed for more than 20 minutes at a time. Tanning 1-2 times per week is the recommended amount. Always wear tanning lotion and goggles to protect your skin and eyes from the potential harm of the UV rays. Most cities have tanning salons, so go online to find the tanning salon closest to you. Prices will vary from salon to salon, but member packages are usually available to help you save money if you plan on tanning multiple times. It's easy to miss the sun in the dead of winter, which is one of the reasons many people choose to tan. If you decide to tan under UV rays and sun beds, it is imperative that you take care of your skin.  These methods of tanning come with a high risk of skin cancer and speed up your skin's aging process. Always wear tanning lotion...

TL;DR in English: Get a spray tan. Use a tanning bed. Take care of your skin.

To be able to float on your back without panicking, you should be calm and relaxed in the water, even if you're not an expert swimmer. You should learn how to float on your back in a swimming pool, not an ocean or a lake with waves. Ideally, you should be reasonably comfortable in water and know how to swim from one end of a pool to the other without needing any help. If you're floating on your back as a way to learn how to swim, then you should take extra caution and be with your spotter at all times. Don't try to float on your back by yourself for the first time. Even if you've mastered other basic swimming techniques, if it's your first time trying to float on your back, you should not only have a spotter, but make sure that you're in a place with a lifeguard that can come to your rescue if you need the help. The spotter will place his hand under your back and will let you make the necessary adjustments to your body until you're comfortable trying the technique on your own. Using a PFD (personal flotation device) around your arms or mid-section can also make you get more comfortable in the water. If you've worked with a spotter but aren't quite ready to try floating on your back on your own, try wearing the device until you wean yourself off of it. Before you begin to float on your back on your own, you need to align your body with the water -- ideally, your body should start off in a position that is almost parallel to the water or bottom of the pool. You can even get on your back and kick off the side of the pool until your body naturally glides with the surface of the water. Once your body is aligned with the surface of the water and your back is relatively parallel to the water, it'll be much easier to make adjustments to the rest of your body.

TL;DR in English: Be comfortable in the water. Get a spotter. Try using a flotation device. Align your body with the surface of the water.

Before installing the new fuel filter, compare it to the one you just removed.  Make sure they appear to be the same outside diameter, that the nozzles are the same size, and that it will fit into the bracket.  If the fuel filters do not match, you will need to return the new one for the correct replacement filter. Do not attempt to use a fuel filter for a different application in your vehicle, as it may not be capable of allowing the appropriate volume of fuel to pass through it. Jack up the car to relieve the weight on the jack stands, then slide them out from beneath the vehicle.  Once the jack stands are clear, lower the vehicle to the ground by either releasing the pressure in the jack or turning the jack handle counter-clockwise, depending on your style of jack.  Be sure the jack stands are completely out of the way, otherwise they may damage the vehicle if lowered onto them. Once the vehicle is safely on the ground, reconnect the battery to complete the project.

TL;DR in English: Compare the new filter to the old one. Lower the vehicle off of the jack stands.

Classically, dips are between parallel bars, where you lower yourself down until your elbows are at 90-degrees, arms parallel to the bars. You then push your body back up until your arms are straight, then repeat. But you can still do these triceps crushers even if you're without bars:  Find a sturdy table, ledge, chair, or stair step that comes up to roughly thigh level. Facing away from the ledge, use your hands to lower yourself to a "seated" position, as if there was an invisible chair in front of your object. Lower your but to the floor, keeping your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle behind you. Push back up to the "elevated" position. Repeat for 15-20 reps, doing three sets. The closer you move your arms together on a push-up, the more it will engage your triceps. The ultimate exercise, then, becomes diamond push-ups. To do them, simply use your thumbs and index fingers to form a diamond shape under your chest, entering otherwise normal push-up position:  Lower yourself slowly to the ground. Spring back up to the point just before your elbows lock out. Keep your neck and spine straight, not curved or hunched. This is a holding exercise, meaning you don't do reps, you simply hold the position, often timing out "sets" as 30-90 seconds of holding. L-sits are basically modified dips, but you can perform them on the floor or a set of parallel bars.  Pick yourself up by extending your arms straight down at your sides and pushing up. Stick your legs in front of you, forming an enormous L with your body. Keep your arms straight and strong as you hold your body above the ground of the bars. If you're struggling, rest one or both of your legs on something to keep them up while you work out your arms. You'll need a bar at about stomach height, the lower it is, the harder the exercise will be. These exercises work best if you keep your elbows in towards your ears and focus on using your triceps:  Hold the bar with your hands 4-5 inches apart, palms down. Place your feet together behind you, making a straight...

The introduction of the speech should be interesting and engage the audience. Some strategies you can use are: beginning with a rhetorical question, a quote, or a short anecdote. Any strategy is fine as long as it relates to being thankful and graduating. Try to keep this to 2-5 sentences (or 2 paragraphs for a speech longer than 5 minutes). A few examples are:  “What are you thankful for?” This is beginning with a rhetorical question, since the audience will not answer. As Willie Nelson once said, "When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around." This is beginning with a quote. “It was the first day of high school, and I stood outside the door of my first class, scared to go in. On the last day of high school, I left that same door feeling thankful.” This is beginning with an anecdote. This is where you get to thank your friends, family, teachers, and so on in depth. Look at your brainstorming notes, and write 1-2 paragraphs where you say who you want to thank and why in complete sentences. (2-3 for a speech longer than 5 minutes). Don’t spend more than 2-3 sentences talking about a single person unless you really want to emphasize being thankful towards them.  For example, you can say, “I would like to thank my friends and family for always inspiring me when I felt hopeless.” Another example is, “I want to thank Professor Z for helping me choose a major.” The body of the speech comes immediately after the introduction. Avoid insulting or offending those you are speaking to. Do not vent about problems or criticize others during this speech. Write 1-2 sentences (1 paragraph for a speech that is longer than 5 minutes) that summarize everything you just said. Make sure to refer back to your theme and tie everything together in these 1-2 sentences. The conclusion comes after the body of the speech, and it can be very simple. For example, you can just say “Thank you again.”  Another simple example is, “Once again, I am so lucky to have such great friends and family. Thank you.” You can end on...

Flour, eggs and brown sugar all hold on to moisture, leading to fluffy moist cookies. If you are look for a crispier treat, try using less of these three ingredients. All-purpose flour has a higher protein content compared to other flours. Extra protein helps create a browner appearance and crispier texture. This will allow the cookies time to spread before they firm. It will also help dry out your cookies as well. Compared to shortening or oil, butter has a lower melting temperature. This will allow your cookies to spread more during baking. Butter also has protein in it, which helps with browning and crisping. Avoid using brown sugar, which holds on to moisture, and instead use a processed sugar. This will lead to a drier and crispier cookie. Eggs hold a lot of moisture and, when cooked, they release lots of steam. This steam acts as a leavening agent, making cookies moist and fluffy. You will get a flatter, thinner and crispier cookie without eggs.  You can substitute applesauce instead of an egg, but applesauce also has a lot of moisture in it.  You could also try out vegetable oil.

TL;DR in English: Reduce ingredients that hold moisture. Use all-purpose flour. Bake the cookies for longer at a lower temperature. Use butter. Try white sugar or corn syrup. Skip the eggs.

Pool testing kits come in several different varieties. Test strips are the cheapest and easiest to use. Make sure the strips come with a color chart printed on a card or the back of the bottle so you can interpret the results. Once you own the chart, you can purchase additional bottles of strips rather than whole kits.  Another test variety are liquid test kits. You add the included chemicals to the water, then look for color changes. It can be difficult to mix the dye in the proper proportion and spot slight color changes. The last option is a digital water tester. Dip the end in the sample to get results. These are accurate but expensive and can malfunction. After this time, the strip will change colors. Remove the strip immediately, but don’t shake off the water. For testing strips, you’ll only need a single water sample.  When doing a liquid test, pour a few drops of the dye into the water sample. You will need to collect a new sample of pool water for each dye. For digital testers, stick the sensor in the sample. The color chart will be somewhere in your kit or on the back of the bottle of testing strips. If you bought 4 in 1, 5 in 1, or 6 in 1 strips, several colored patches on the strips may change. Each one corresponds to a separate chemical measurement on your color chart. Strips that aren’t all in 1 only test a single element. You’ll need to go to the store and get separate strips for chlorine, pH, and alkalinity. Strips for cyanuric acid and water hardness are also recommended. Water testing below 7.2 is more acidic, so if you notice colored stains from metal or corroded pipes, low pH could be the culprit. Water above 7.8 is more basic, causing chemical deposits on pool gear and preventing chlorine from killing bacteria and algae. Both high and low pH water irritate eyes and skin.  The pH level can be raised by adding soda ash, which is available at any pool store. Follow the directions on the label to figure out the proper amount to add. Lower the pH level by mixing in muriatic acid. Again, the...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a water testing kit. Submerge the test strips for 15 seconds. Compare the results to the color chart. Look for a pH level between 7.2 and 7.8. Test for a chlorine level between 1 and 3 ppm. Aim for an alkalinity result between 120 and 150 ppm. Check that the cyanuric acid levels are between 20 and 30 ppm. Choose a calcium hardness level based on your pool type.

Check that one of the racks inside your oven is in the top position so your grilled cheese cooks thoroughly. Turn the oven on to 450 °F (232 °C) and let it heat completely while you prepare your sandwiches. Once the oven is up to temperature, you can cook your sandwiches. You can also use a toaster oven if you don’t want to heat up your regular oven. Choose your favorite type of bread to use for your sandwich. Use 2 slices of the bread and spread room temperature butter on 1 side of each slice. Spread the butter to the edges of the slice to help get even browning and prevent them from burning.  Soften the butter if you don’t have any at room temperature so you don’t rip pieces off of your bread. Alternatively, you can spread mayonnaise on your bread instead of butter.

Before deciding what new sleeping position you want to habituate to, consider any physical ailments you might have. For example, if you've had back surgery, sleeping on your side in the fetal position may be the most comfortable. Furthermore, sleeping on your side may also be better if you have a history of snoring or sleep apnea. On the other hand, if you have chronic shoulder pain from an old sports injury, then sleeping on your back might be the best position.  Most people find that firm mattresses offer the most support and cause the least amount of musculoskeletal issues. In contrast, only a minority of people do well with soft mattresses or waterbeds. Consider investing in a high-quality, firm mattress. Pregnant women do best on their sides, with research suggesting that sleeping on the left side increases blood flow levels to the developing baby. From a musculoskeletal (functional) perspective, sleeping on your side provides the most benefit because it keeps your spine in normal alignment. It can alleviate neck pain (assuming your pillow is an appropriate size) and low back pain, reduce the incidence of acid reflux (heartburn), prevent snoring and ease the burdens of pregnancy. However, from an aesthetic perspective, side sleeping can promote facial wrinkles and saggy breasts, as they get a little squished.  If side sleeping, select a pillow that fits between the tip of you shoulder and the side of your head. Thus, thick pillows are best for broad-shouldered people and thin pillows for the narrow shouldered — a pillow of the appropriate thickness will keep your neck aligned and help prevent tension or cervicogenic headaches. To promote sleeping on your side, get a body pillow to hug, which might replace the sense of security and warmth you were getting from stomach sleeping. Everyone who sleeps on their side should use a pillow between their legs to promote hip alignment. Sleeping on your back (supine) is generally better for your spine compared to stomach sleeping, especially for your neck, but care...

Use your shower to wash away any debris in the way. If you have a removable shower head, use it to spray around the tub. Otherwise, use a cup or small bucket to pour water around.  If you have a lot of hair and debris in your tub, it's best to wipe it away with a paper towel before you rinse the tub using your shower head. Otherwise, you may accidentally clog up your drain. If your drain does get clogged, you'll also need to clean it in addition to the rest of your bathtub. If you clean out your tub every time you shower, you won't have a buildup over time. Use the shower to sprinkle the tub with warm water, washing away any dirt. Wipe off the water with a towel or sponge.

TL;DR in English: Wash away any grit and hair. Practice everyday cleaning.

Maintaining good posture while you sit and walk is crucial for the shape, function and overall health of your spine. Good posture doesn't mean completely straight, but it does mean balanced and aligned, such that the normal shape of your spine isn't compromised. Slouching is a classic sign of poor posture, so keep your shoulders pulled back, head up and low back slightly arched when you sit and walk. Good posture is often a reflection of confidence and good health.  While at work, make sure your office chair is height-adjustable and has lumbar support for your low back. At home, use small cushions to support your back while watching TV. Make sure your computer is at eye level and centered in front of your chair, otherwise you risk straining your neck and triggering headaches. Practicing walking with a book balanced on your head may sound old school, but it's still a great way to learn good posture. Your sleeping position is another important element of body posture. You spend about 1/3 of your time in your bed, so pay more attention to the quality of your mattress and your sleeping posture. For many people, firm mattresses are the best choice in order to provide the necessary support for their spines. Memory foam top covers may also be of benefit and provide more comfort. You should consider changing spring mattresses every eight to 10 years, whereas memory foam mattresses may have a shorter life span — rotate them on a weekly basis to increase longevity. The thickness of your pillow should roughly match the width from your shoulder to your ear, which helps to keep your neck aligned during sleep.  Most medical / health authorities feel that the best sleeping posture is laying on your side with hips and knees slightly flexed, and with a small pillow wedged between your thighs.  Don't read in bed with too many pillows behind your head because it will put strain on your neck and act to reverse the normal curvature of your cervical spine. Your feet are important for good biomechanics (movement) and posture...
