Place a 2–2 1⁄2 lb (0.91–1.13 kg) rack of ribs on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to trim away any unwanted fat or membranes. Then, carefully cut the rack of ribs into serving portions that are 2-3 ribs each.  If you do not want to trim and portion the ribs yourself, ask your local butcher if they would mind prepping the rack of ribs for you. Remember to wash your hands before and after handling the raw meat to avoid cross-contamination.

TL;DR in English: Trim unwanted fat from a rack of ribs and cut it into portions of 2-3 ribs each.

Decide if you want to focus on a specific industry—such as builders, lawyers, or IT professionals—or multiple. Afterwards, decide if you're going to put candidates on a contract (temporary or part-time), direct hire employment (full-time), or both. Study the structure of other recruitment agencies to understand the benefits and challenges of the various agency types to help you decide the best focus for you. For example, you might decide to fill only temporary job openings across many different industries. Be specific about the area of recruiting for which you wish to focus, such as executive recruiting for the banking industry. Whatever your choice, make sure you have interest in the niche, as well as some sort of value (such as a list of contacts or industry knowledge). Make a list of all of the niches in your industry of choice and compare your experience and contacts in each to help you make your decision. Work for a recruitment firm before starting your own agency and get a feel for the focus you're most comfortable with. If your goal is to recruit for a specific industry, consider working in that industry first. For example, work for a recruitment firm for lawyers if you are interested in law or have a relevant degree. Get a feel for the kind of law you're most comfortable with to help you narrow down the focus for your own business. Purchase training materials, sign-up for a recruiting webinars, or watch recruiter training videos. Gaining a solid understanding of recruitment strategies and industry standards is necessary to select your focus and develop skills within your niche.  Search for local recruitment courses near you if you prefer face-to-face training. Research the trainers and industry experts that take part in your chosen courses or webinars to ensure they are applicable to your interests. After getting some experience and training, ask yourself how comfortable you are working on your own. If you're still not confident, ask contacts within the industry you plan to focus on if they know of...

A full course meal can have anywhere from three to twenty courses. However, most modern hosts and hostesses limit themselves to six courses. If you do too many, you might not have time to prepare everything properly or spend time with your guests. Remember that each course will require its own plate or bowl and silverware. Make sure you have enough of each to serve your courses.  A three-course meal usually has an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert. A four course meal might include a soup, an appetizer, a main course, and dessert. A five course meal can include a soup, an appetizer, a salad, a main course, and a dessert. A six course meal usually includes an amuse-bouche, a soup, an appetizer, a salad, a main course, and a dessert. A seven course meal includes an amuse-bouche, a soup, an appetizer, a salad, a main course, a dessert, and a mignardise with coffee or tea. This course is usually presented before the soup or appetizer and is served on small appetizer plates. These dishes consist of one or two savory bites of food that can give a hint of flavors to come. Popular amuse-bouche dishes include:  Creamy deviled eggs   Herb-infused cream cheese spread onto a slice of toasted crostini Slices of roasted peaches on small wedges of creamy brie This course is usually served before the appetizer or in place of an appetizer. This dish is served in a small soup bowl and eaten with a rounded soup spoon. Your soup choice may vary by season. For example:  In the summer, consider serving a cold gazpacho soup.  In the winter, serve a warm, creamy lobster bisque. This course is referred to as the entrée in many parts of Europe as it introduces the main courses in a meal. These dishes are usually served on small appetizer plates and feature small cuts of meat, seasonal vegetables, starches, and sauces. For example:  Serve a few pieces of fried ravioli with a side of marinara sauce. Bake button mushrooms stuffed with breadcrumbs and seasoning. Give your guests a few miniature crab cakes with tartar sauce. In some...

TL;DR in English: Decide how many courses you want to serve. Serve an amuse-bouche. Present the soup course. Distribute the appetizer. Serve the salad course. Present the main course. Serve the dessert. Serve some mignardises.

You must make sure that both the female (dam) and male (sire) are healthy and genetically fit for breeding, and that their vaccinations are current. Testing should be done for conditions that the Shih Tzu breed is prone to, such as heritable eye diseases, Hip Dysplasia, Renal Dysplasia, thyroid disorders, and hearing loss. Once a dog is cleared of one of these conditions, it can be registered with the appropriate registry (e.g. once a dog is tested and cleared of heritable eye diseases, it can be registered with the the local Canine Eye Registry).> The female Shih Tzu should get a thorough pre-breeding physical examination by a veterinarian about a month before breeding begins. Ideally, your Shih Tzu should have her first litter after her second heat cycle but before she's reached the age of 4. Because of health risks, dogs older than 7 should not be bred. Female Shih Tzus stay in heat (i.e. the period in a dog’s reproductive cycle when she is receptive to mating) for approximately 16 days, but are usually not receptive to males on the first day of this period. If a female is not ready to mate, she will run from or avoid a male; if she is ready, she will stay and move her tail to the side to signal her readiness. Put up flyers, take out a classified ad, or look online for possible studs. Remember that, as a general rule, a male should be smaller than the female Shih Tzu it  breeds with by a pound or two. It should also complement your female Shih Tzu in terms of attributes and qualities, and offer genetic strengths that will result in strong, quality offspring (e.g.  a good coat). Before breeding occurs, you should work out a contract with the stud's owner outlining obligations, fees, and payment. Stud fees can run between $250-$1000, depending on the quality of the male. but some contracts will outline other forms of payment to the stud's owner (e.g. the pick of the litter in lieu of cash payment). Both parties should sign and keep a copy of the contract. Given that females are more comfortable in new...

Tell by the color and the shine. Compare the ruby stone to a shard of red glass. Try to scratch the surface. See if the ruby rubs off on another surface. Know the types of fake.

The line between being an employee and being a subcontractor can get pretty hazy in many circumstances. The sticking points tend to be the amount of control the prime contractor/employer asserts over how you do the work. If needed, consult an attorney for clarification, or contact a taxing body such as the IRS in the U.S.  According to the IRS, for instance, the criteria for drawing the line between an employee and a subcontractor rests on 3 components: the amount of behavioral control the prime contractor/employer asserts (that is, how the work is done); the amount of financial control you have over the work you do; and the way in which the parties view the relationship (as per their contract and actual interactions). If you are determined to be an employee, you’ll likely be eligible for benefits and workplace protections, but also be subject to tax withholding and greater control by your employer. As a subcontractor, you’ll receive payment from the prime contractor, who in turn receives payment from the client. Make sure it is clearly stated in your contract when you’ll be paid in relation to when the prime contractor is paid by the client. Otherwise, you might be stuck in limbo waiting to be paid for work you’ve already done.  For instance, if the prime contractor’s contract with the client states that they will be paid within 14 days of the completion of the job, your contract might state that you’ll be paid within 7 days of the prime contractor receiving payment. If possible, negotiate a contract that stipulates that you’ll be paid within a certain time frame (e.g., within 7 days of completing your part of the job) regardless of when or if the client pays the prime contractor. As a subcontractor, you should be given fairly wide latitude to do the job in the manner you see fit, so long as you meet the requirements of the contract. That said, some prime contractors take a more hands-on approach than others, so you should clearly discuss this beforehand—and, if possible, clarify it in your contract. If...

TL;DR in English: Get legal confirmation that you're a subcontractor, if necessary. Establish clearly how and when you will be paid. Determine how much supervision and input the prime contractor wants. Build a great word-of-mouth reputation by excelling at your work.

Before the pitch is even thrown, you should be standing a ready position. Stand on the balls of your feet with your knees slightly bent and your glove in front of you. Focus on your attention on the batter. As the batter strikes the ball, keep your eye on it the entire time. You'll only have a few seconds to react once the ball is hit, so you've got to be able to reflexively move toward the ball if its yours to field. Some fielders find it helpful to sway from side to side a bit as they wait for the hit. Shifting your weight back and forth can help you feel ready to spring toward the ball quickly. When the ball is hit, run as fast as you can to get in front of it. The angle at which you run is dependent on how fast the ball is moving.  Here are a few different scenarios:  If it's a slow moving ball, you might want to charge it. This means running toward the ball at an angle that will help you reach it as quickly as possible. If the ball is hit hard and low, it will respond violently to imperfections on the ground. Reaching the ball as quickly as possible is a good way to prevent it from bouncing away from you or at you in a harmful, unexpected way. If it's a very fast moving ball, it's more important to run at an angle that will give you time to field the ball with ease, rather than having to dive or stretch your glove at an odd angle. Instead of running toward the ball, run to one side or the other so you can get in position to have the ball coming right at your glove. With practice, you'll be able to discern what approach is right for what grounder speed. Timing is everything when it comes to fielding grounders. Grounders can be difficult to field because each hop they take can make them bounce in an unpredictable direction. Your best bet is to try to field a grounder on as long a hop as possible, because you'll know just where to position your glove to catch it. Fielding a grounder on a short hop is more difficult, because you have less time to react to the ball's bounce. If you let it bounce right in...

TL;DR in English: Assume your "baseball ready" position. Be ready to move if the ball comes toward you. Move in front of the ball. Decide to field it on a long hop or a short hop. Angle your body to field it more easily.

Real rubies glow with a deep, vivid, almost "stoplight" red. Fake gems are often dull: they are "light, but not bright." If the gem is more of a dark red, then it may be garnet instead of a ruby. If it is a real ruby, however, know that darker stones are usually worth more than lighter stones.  Check for a consistent and even color throughout the stone. Fakes are more likely to contain blemishes and impure spots. That said: rubies do sometimes have imperfections. Use the "stoplight red" as a guide, but do not expect to find a real ruby that is actually that bright. If you do, then the ruby is likely fake. A real ruby should be more like a bright traffic light, however, than like a dull stone. Rubies and other varieties of sapphire are often faked as glass. If the glass and stone look similar, then you may just be holding two pieces of red glass! It is relatively common for dealers to fake rubies using a glass composite. Real rubies are extremely hard stones. Grind a fingernail or a coin into the surface of the "ruby" and see if you are able to scratch it. If the ruby shows a scratch, then there's a good chance that it is not a real ruby. Only a diamond can scratch a ruby. Composite rubies are not as durable as real rubies. There is a chance that the ruby is not a complete "fake," and just a machine-made stone. Gently scratch the stone against a hard, smooth surface: porcelain tile or a piece of clear glass. The stone should scratch the surface whether or not it is a "ruby." The tip-off, however, comes if the "ruby" leaves a red mark on the surface where you scratched it. The red mark might be a sign that the gem is artificially colored. It might tell you that the "gem" is actually made from a much weaker material. The stones commonly used as ruby imitations include garnets, tourmaline, glass, and composite gems.  Garnets are dull, dark-red silicate minerals. They are much softer than a ruby. Tourmaline is a reddish-pink silicate mineral. Tourmaline is somewhat harder than a garnet, but much softer than the...

It generally takes three bundles of shingles to cover 100 square feet (9.29 square meters). Asphalt shingle "bundles" are actually sealed in packages (the term bundle comes from wooden shingles which actually came tied up with wire in bundles). Measure your roof and buy appropriately. Measure the length and width of the individual sections of the roof, multiplying them together to determine the area. Add the areas of each section together, then divide by 100 to get the correct number of squares. Multiply this number by 3 to get the number of bundles you'll need to buy. This will help determine how the shingles will lay on the roof width. Most asphalt shingles are 3 feet (91.4 centimeters) in length. If your roof's width is not an even multiple of the shingle's length, you will have a partial piece on one end of each row. The bottom row of shingles must hang past the edge of the roof. For a wood shingle roof you would have to cut the shingles that go on the edge to create a straight line to accommodate this. Start removing the shingles at the peak farthest from the trash container, or the corner you want to collect the shingles in. Use a garden fork or a roofing shovel to pull them off quickly, use the hammer-method and go by hand for a more thorough job. Make sure that you protect the sides of the house and the windows during this process, such as by leaning a large piece of plywood against the house below where you are working. Otherwise you might break a window or damage the siding.   Pry up the nails and loosening the ridge caps. It's ok if you don't get all the nails at first, because you'll have a chance to go back through and remove them later. Remove the metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys in the roof. Flashing in the valleys will almost always be trashed, especially. Some roofers will keep some of the flashing that's in good shape, but it's probably worth junking it all when you've got the chance. Sweep the roof as clean as possible. Remove nails that didn't come up earlier. Reattach...

TL;DR in English: Get the right number of shingles for the job. Measure the length of a shingle as it lies across the roof. Remove old shingles and flashing. Clean the roof. Install underlayment and new flashing. Choose the kind of starter course you will use. Use chalk lines to make a guide for yourself.

Many trucks have adjustable torsion bars, which will allow you to make adjustments to the ride height in the front of the vehicle, raising it to match a lift in the rear, or lowering it to keep it level if the rear springs are being taxed, rendering that 'saggy bottom' look.  Check your owners manual for adjustment procedures or better yet, since you will need a re-alignment after adjusting your ride height, just take it in and let your alignment specialist do it for you. Torsion bar adjustment in the front along with leaf spring helpers in the back, and heavy duty shocks all the way around, and you can keep your truck level, or hike it up, or even give it a fancy aggressive 'rake'. Keep in mind that torsion bar adjustments do not increase your travel range; only the clearance of your wheel well over your tire, which for our purposes should be plenty. Use your best judgment when it comes to using a lift kit.  Lift kits can be found that provide an inch, two inches, three inches and so on, until you are replacing every single component of your suspension from sway bars to tie rods just to keep up with your hunger for more clearance and ride height.  Don't get carried away. Just a couple of inches can make a dramatic difference, and every time you add to your clearance height, you have to get new shocks to match, and at some point you're just sacrificing stability and reliability, as well as making it harder to get into your trunk or truck bed. If you want to go full mud-bogger monster truck, you'll find instructions for that elsewhere. For now, consider this to be the last resort for keeping your cushy old Chevy from scraping wheels and dragging your trailer tongue every time the road gets a little bumpy. You've already got spring helpers and better shocks in place, and you are still riding low in the back. Go for a 2" (or even a 1.5") lift kit.  For coil springs this is usually another polyurethane insert, that just lowers the point where your spring connects to the chassis.  For leaf springs this is just a...

TL;DR in English: Consider adding torsion bars. Try out a lift kit. Pick out the right size of lift kit. Look at the contents of your lift kit.

To replace shingles, you'll obviously need shingles to replace the ones you remove and the materials necessary to secure. Most shingles that are in need of replacement are three-tab asphalt shingles. If your roof involves some other variety of shingle, you'll need to match your new shingles to the old. To complete the job properly, you'll need:  Replacement shingles. Buy more than you'll need at the home repair store. You should be able to count up how many damaged shingles will need replacement and buy accordingly. It's good to have replacements on hand. Shingle cement or adhesive. Some shingles come with adhesive strips pre-installed, making this unnecessary. If you buy unbacked shingles, though, you might need to purchase additional adhesive to secure them to the roof before nailing them. It's a good idea to buy it to secure other loose shingles anyway. Roofing nails. Most three-tab shingles will be pre-cut with guide holes that will make the installation process very simple. To secure them, you'll need roofing nails, which are heavy-duty, and about two or three inches long. Place a new shingle in the same position as the shingle you removed. If the shingles are backed with adhesive strip, remove the covering and push them into place, then nail them to secure them. Most shingles have pre-cut holes for nails, usually three per shingle. Follow the directions of the shingles that you purchase, or use the other shingles on the roof as a guide. Lift each tab slightly on the shingles as you install them, and apply a 1" (2.5 cm) diameter spot of shingle cement under each tab. Press tabs down into the cement firmly and secure the shingle into place. Continue installing shingles and securing them with adhesive accordingly, until you've installed all the damaged shingles along the row. After you've finished the damage portion, you can start working your way back up the roof, retailing the loose shingles into place, as long as they're in good shape, and using the adhesive to secure them back onto the roof.

Don't travel to high-risk countries if you are in this group and/or don't bring young children with you.

Be very cautious of underdeveloped tropical areas. Be particularly careful if your immune system is weak. Avoid contaminated blood. Take preventative measures if traveling to at-risk areas.

Most people really like to talk about themselves. It feels good when someone is genuinely interested in your opinion and experiences and wants you to share those things. Ask about his hobbies or his favorite bands and movies. People tend to have a very positive opinion about people who ask them questions about themselves. Make sure you weigh in, too. The conversation shouldn't be all about him. Share your own thoughts and opinions (and don't feel you always have to agree with him). You may think that flirting up a storm with other guys will show him that you're desirable and have other options, but playing hard to get rarely works. Research shows that we are more attracted to people who are selective. So if you're in a group and none of the other guys seem to hold your attention, but you have a big smile just for your crush, you're going to catch his interest. This doesn't mean you have to be rude, mean, or ignore other guys. But if you were thinking about flirting with someone just to make your crush jealous, you might want to think again. If he knows everything about you right off the bat, he'll lose the fun and anticipation of slowly getting to know what makes you tick. So hold back a little bit. Don't call, message, or text him constantly. Give him the time and room to think and wonder about you. Let him be curious about you and what you're doing. Don't ignore him or be rude, but don't always be available.

TL;DR in English: Ask him questions about himself and listen to what he says. Don't play hard to get. Maintain a sense of mystery.

If you plan on changing the color of the wall beneath the stripes, you should do so before you add the chevron pattern.  Let the base paint dry and cure for at least three days.  Note that if you are satisfied with the color of the walls already and the paint is still in good shape, you can skip this step. At the top of your wall, or at the top of the portion to be painted, use a pencil to mark each peak for your top chevron stripe. The peaks should be spaced apart evenly.  Use a level and yardstick to make sure that the peaks are also in an even horizontal line. Otherwise, you could end up with a chevron stripe that slopes downward. Chevron stripes consist of peaks and valleys. The pattern should be even, so in order to accomplish this, the distance between the peaks should be the same as the distance between the valleys. Note that a larger gap in between peaks will result in a wider set pattern while smaller gaps will create a tighter pattern. Use a pencil to mark the peaks of the second row beneath the peaks of the first. The vertical distance between peaks should be exactly the same as the horizontal distance, and the new peaks should be vertically even with the previous peaks.  Repeat for the remaining rows. Use a yardstick and level to keep the peaks even both horizontally and vertically. Use a pencil to lightly mark the valleys of each chevron stripe. With the exception of the top row, each row of peaks should coincide with a row of valleys. The valley points should be spaced evenly in between each pair of peak points.  All the valleys should be vertically aligned with one another. Use a yardstick and a level to keep the points even. Note that you will also need a final row of valley points below the final row of peak points. Lay small strips of painters tape to create the outline of your chevron stripes. Lay the tape peak to valley, valley to peak, peak to valley, valley to peak, and so on, until all the dots are connected.  When done, you should see the shape of your chevron stripes. Lay the tape so...

TL;DR in English: Paint your base color. Mark the peaks of your first stripe. Mark the peaks for your remaining rows. Plot the valleys. Tape off the pattern. Do some preliminary painting. Paint the stripes. Remove the tape.

A broken wrist requires medical attention so it can heal properly. If you aren’t experiencing a lot of pain, you can wait until you’re able to see your regular physician. If you have any of the following symptoms, you should seek emergency medical attention:  Significant pain or swelling Numbness in the wrist, hand, or fingers A deformed appearance of the wrist, looking crooked or bent An open fracture (where the broken bone has pierced through the skin) Pale fingers Most broken wrists are treated first with a splint, which is a rigid piece of plastic, fiberglass or metal attached to the wrist with bandages or a brace. This is usually used for a week, until the swelling reduces.  After the initial swelling has gone down, a plaster or fiberglass cast is usually placed after a few days or a week.  You may need a second cast after 2-3 weeks, if the swelling goes down further and the first cast becomes too loose. Most broken wrists heal within 6-8 weeks with proper treatment. This means you will probably have a cast for most of that time. Your doctor will usually conduct regular x-rays through this period to make sure your wrist is healing correctly. After your cast comes off, you may be referred to a physical therapist. Physical therapy can help you regain the strength and motion that you lost after your injury. If you don’t need formal physical therapy, your doctor will probably give you exercises to do at home. Make sure you follow your doctor’s recommendations to help your wrist return to its full functioning.

TL;DR in English: Go to the doctor. Understand the treatment procedures. Wait 6 to 8 weeks. See a physical therapist.

The biggest risk factor for coming down with malaria is either living in or traveling to tropical countries where the infection is common.  The most risky areas are African countries south of the Sahara Desert, most of the Asian subcontinent, Haiti, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that 90% of all malaria deaths occur in Africa — mostly in kids younger than five years. Approximately 1,500 cases of malaria are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, mostly in returned travelers. People with immature or weakened immune systems are especially susceptible of getting infected by Plasmodium parasites and developing malaria. This group includes infants, children younger than five years, pregnant women, the elderly and patients with HIV/AIDS. As such, don't travel to high-risk countries if you are in this group and/or don't bring young children with you.  Strong immune systems can fight off malarial infections, which means the majority of people bitten by infected mosquitoes either don't get the disease or develop only mild short-term symptoms. Supplements that can boost your immune system include: vitamins A, C and D, zinc, selenium, echinacea, olive leaf extract and astragalus root. Be aware that these will not prevent malaria or its consequences. The Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria primarily infect the liver, but also the red blood cells within blood. Consequently, people can also catch malaria by being exposed to contaminated (infected) blood. Common modes of transmission due to contaminated blood include blood transfusions, sharing needles to inject drugs and childbirth (from an infected mother to her unborn child).  Hemophiliacs and people who lose lots of blood from injuries are at higher risk of malaria from blood transfusions, particularly if they life in Africa or Asia. Malaria is not considered an STD (sexually transmitted disease), although there is a small chance of contracting it via sexual practices if the blood from one partner...

Pedigrees can be laid out in a variety of orientations. Assess whether the chart is oriented either vertically or horizontally on the page. Look at the orientation of the words to understand which direction it should be held. The lines on a pedigree can indicate biological or personal relationships. On a pedigree that is oriented vertically, a horizontal line connecting two individuals indicates a reproductive relationship, such as a marriage. A line that connects individuals vertically indicates the biological relationship of parent and child.  On a pedigree that is oriented horizontally the vertical lines indicate a reproductive relationship and the horizontal lines indicate the relationship of parent and child. Two short lines crossing a horizontal line typically indicate the end of a committed relationship. A pedigree is typically organized so that each generation of people or animals is positioned in a separate row. For example, your subject and all of their siblings will be located on the same row. The subject's parents and all of their siblings will be on the same row. These generational rows will continue on as far back as the pedigree goes.  These generational rows are not shown with actual row lines per se. They are just shown through the position of these subjects on the page next to each other. On some genetic pedigrees there may also be roman numerals off to the side that indicate the specific generations. There are a few symbols on a genetic pedigree that are generally used. In particular, there are standard symbols used to distinguish between male and female subjects. If a person or animal is female, they will be represented with a circle. If a person or animal is a male, they will be represented with a square. Whether a square or circle is filled in gives you key information. A filled in circle or square indicates that the presence of a trait. An empty circle or square indicates the absence of a trait. In some cases there will be circles or squares half filled in. This indicates that the...

TL;DR in English: Figure out the orientation of the pedigree. Trace lines in the pedigree. Pay attention to rows of subjects to identify specific generations. Look for standard symbols. Look for a key of additional symbols.

Make sure to only place one value in each cell. For example, if you need to find the harmonic mean of 10, 12, 16, and 8, you might type each of these values into a separate cell in the spreadsheet, cells A1-A4. The function is HARMEAN(number 1, [number 2]...). To select the function, begin typing “=HARMEAN” into a blank cell of the spreadsheet, then double-click on the function when it pops up. For example, type “=HARMEAN” into cell A5 of your spreadsheet and double-click on the function. Hit the enter key. Excel will calculate the harmonic mean for you and display it in the spreadsheet. For example, highlight cells A1-A4 of your spreadsheet and hit enter. Excel will calculate 10.78652 as the harmonic mean.

TL;DR in English: Enter the values into your spreadsheet. Enter the function for the harmonic mean. Highlight the cells containing the values you are averaging.

These instructions assume you're drawing an eye viewed head-on. Outline the eye, then draw a second line just underneath the top edge. This is the thickness of the upper eyelid. The upper eyelashes emerge from the top line. When viewed head-on, this thickness is barely visible. Keep the two lines close together. Upper eyelashes swoop downward a short distance, then rapidly up and away from the eye. Practice this motion many times on a practice sketch:  Press a hard pencil firmly against the upper edge of the eyelid. Move downward for an instant, then rapidly "swoop" upward. The faster you do this, the more natural the result.  Reduce pressure as you move the pencil. The line should be thinner and lighter near the tip of the lash. Eyelashes tend to point outward from the curve of the eyelid, as though they were sun rays or wheel spokes. An individual eyelash, however, often overlaps its fellows or points in a slightly uneven direction. Lightly sketch the eyelashes so they fan outward, but have plenty of variation among them. You don't need to commit to the exact shapes, which are described in more detail below. Just focus on positioning for now.  This is a good time to study photographs of eyes, or look in a mirror. Many eyelashes hook together at the tip. Draw a few pairs of lashes that meet at the same point. Once you've got this motion down, start again with a fresh sketch. First, draw the eyelashes near the outer corner, near the ear. These lashes grow close together. The eyelashes near the outer corner are the longest. They also curve farther downward and outward than other lashes. Next, draw the eyelashes along the middle ⅓ of the eyelid. These are nearly as long and as numerous as the outer eyelashes. Rotate the direction of the eyelashes as you move toward the middle. By the time you reach the middle of the eye, the lashes are almost vertical. These are much shorter, and thinly scattered. Avoid even spacing, which looks unnatural. Draw over the lashes using a softer pencil, pressing firmly to make them...

TL;DR in English: Draw the thickness of the eyelid. Practice the curve of the eyelash. Plan the orientation of the lashes. Draw eyelashes near the outer corner. Add eyelashes to the middle of the lid. Finish with the inner lashes. Redraw some lashes with a softer pencil.

Avoid using photo paper; it is too thick, and there's that the colors may run. You can try using this method on regular photos as well, but be aware that you may damage them. Trace the side of the item onto the photo first, if needed. Next, cut the photo down with a paper slicer or a metal ruler and craft blade. You can do this using a foam brush or a wide, flat paintbrush. If you want to, you can also brush the Mod Podge onto the back of the photo as well. Smooth the paper out with a rubber roller or a brayer to smooth the photo down. Start from the center of the photo and roll your way outwards. Ensure that there are no wrinkles or bubbles. Extend the Mod Podge past the edges of the photo to help seal it in. Don't worry, you will be adding more coat of Mod Podge on top. Wait for about 30 minutes, then brush on a second coat of Mod Podge. If need to add a third coat, let the second one dry first. This will take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending what you used. Read the label on your bottle to be sure. Once the Mod Podge has dried, you can display your project. If you are going to apply photos to the other sides of your item, now is the time to do so.

Identify ways in which you produce carbon dioxide. Calculate your carbon footprint. Drive less. Save Insulate and seal windows and doors. Buy locally grown foods. Reduce waste at home and at work. Limit unnecessary purchases.

A driving rehabilitation specialist can observe you driving and help you find ways to develop more ergonomic habits. If your profession involves driving, talk to your employer or union representative. Contact your local jurisdiction's department of driver services for more information about driver rehabilitation. You can also find resources on the Association for Driver Rehabilitation Specialists website. Ask your primary care doctor to examine the affected area. They can offer pain management tips, a prescription medication, or refer you to a specialist. Check with your insurer to make sure any medication or specialist care is covered and in-network to avoid unexpected medical bills. Ask your doctor or specialist if your arm pain indicates any potential muscle, bone, or joint issues. Frequent driving or improper driving habits can result in issues like carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff injuries, repetitive strain injury, or bursitis.  Driving can also cause and aggravate arthritis, especially in older adults. Describe the motions that cause pain, the affected areas, and whether the pain is dull or sharp. Ask your doctor or specialist, “Are my symptoms signs of any chronic disorders? Will medication or physical therapy be effective treatment options?” If your pain continues despite adopting ergonomic driving habits, your doctor can recommend a variety of treatments. Common options include anti-inflammatory or anti-pain medication and physical therapy. Depending on the severity of your case, your doctor may also recommend other treatments, such as cortisone injections, steroid injections, or surgery.

TL;DR in English: Consult a driving rehabilitation specialist. Make an appointment with your primary doctor. Ask about musculoskeletal disorders. Discuss your treatment options.

If there are borders around your flower bed made of plastic, metal, or some other material and you no longer want to use them, pull them carefully out of the ground. Discard this old material. If you cannot pull this up by hand, try working a small hand trowel or pry bar under the bottom edge and levering it out. Sometimes the edging is anchored with stakes, so be sure to remove them first. If there is an existing border, and you want to keep the edging where it is, then you are ready for the next step. If you want to change where an existing border is positioned, or if you are making a completely new one, then you will need to mark on the ground where you want the border to be. Straight lines can be fine. Many people prefer curved edges, however, and they may make your flower bed look bigger. You can use a garden hose, string, or marking paint. Put the hose or other marking material on the ground where you want the actual edge to be.

TL;DR in English: Start by removing existing edging material, if there is any. Decide where you want the edge line to be. Make a guide to follow when you start cutting the actual edge.

A lack of sleep can cause excess stress, which can affect blood pressure levels during your exam. Aim to get at least 8 to 9 hours of healthy, restful sleep the night before your exam. Try to do something to relax before bed, like taking a warm bath. Avoid electronic screens in the hours leading up to bedtime, as the blue light can stimulate brain activity that makes sleeping difficult. If you're having trouble sleeping for more than 20 minutes, get up and read a book until you begin to feel sleepy. While regular physical activity is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, exercising before your exam can actually lead to inaccurate cholesterol readings. Try to avoid working out within the 24 hours leading up to your exam. Avoiding food or caffeine in the morning of the exam can help. Your blood pressure and any other exams or blood work required can be negatively affected by food and stimulants.  As stated, coffee can skew blood pressure readings so do not indulge in any caffeine intake until after exams are complete. Fasting at least four hours before blood tests can yield better results. Try to schedule an exam early in the morning and have a healthy meal the night before. Then, skip breakfast and go straight to your exam. If you're not eating or drinking coffee, producing a urine sample might prove difficult. Try having a glass of water before you leave for the exam. You'll likely end up needing to urinate around the time you arrive for the exam and a urine sample is usually requested early on.

TL;DR in English: Sleep well the night before. Do not exercise before the exam. Skip breakfast and coffee. Have a glass of water.

You can't reduce your carbon emissions if you don't know where they're coming from. Once you've identified sources of carbon dioxide production in your daily life, you can come up with ways to reduce your dependency on those sources.  Driving is the main source of most people’s carbon dioxide emissions. Other sources include air travel and household energy consumption. You also should look at the products you buy and use. If they were shipped long distances to get to you, carbon emissions were involved in their transport. Carbon emissions also occur when products are built in factories. If you buy those products, you are also contributing to carbon emissions that way. Make a list of the ways in which you produce carbon dioxide, like driving, air travel, and household energy consumption. Then, search online for a carbon footprint calculator that you can use to get a rough estimate of the size of your carbon footprint.  Just do a search for "carbon footprint calculator" online, or check the website of a nonprofit environmental organization to see if there's one they recommend. Since these calculators may vary in their methodologies, you may want to use more than one and average the results. The more information the calculator allows you to enter, the closer to reality the estimate will be. Since driving typically makes up a large portion of your carbon footprint, one easy way to reduce your carbon dioxide emissions directly is to use your car less. Take public transportation, walk, or ride a bike when you can.  Try to do multiple errands at once so you take fewer trips, and start a carpool at work. There are ways you can increase the fuel efficiency of your car, or you may want to consider living without a car altogether. If you're in the market for a new car, you can reduce your carbon footprint by buying one that is hybrid or fully electric. on heating and electricity in your home. The carbon dioxide produced by the electricity or other fuel that you use to light and heat your home is another big source of...

Revenge comes from feeling diminished by your aggressor and subsequently, you feel ashamed that you allowed this to happen. Such feelings may cause you to feel angry, leading to your desire to seek revenge.  Emotions are felt physically, so recognizing the physical signs of each emotion can help you get them under control. For example, when you are angry, your blood pressure rises and heat radiates from your shoulders through the back of your head. Your emotions can drive your decision making by creating a deeper connection to each decision. When you are feeling angry, you might make more rash decisions than if you felt happy. Putting your feelings into words can help you come to terms with them and clarify your thoughts. Writing down your feelings can help reduce the intensity of your feelings, and help lessen your deep-seated desire for revenge. If you do not like to write you feelings down on paper, try talking to someone about your emotions. Find a trusted friend or family member and tell them exactly what is going on: how you feel, who was involved, the reasons for wanting revenge, how you think revenge will make you feel, etc... . Go to a quiet room, sit on the floor, close your eyes and focus on taking slow, deep breaths. While you are meditating, try to empty your mind of all negative thoughts and concentrate on positive things in your life. Mediation has been scientifically shown to reduce stress and may be a great coping mechanism for your desires for revenge. It can slow your thoughts and help you feel calm and centered. Your emotions may become overwhelming and difficult to handle. At times like these, try repeating positive affirmations to yourself to remind you that even though you aren’t in control of the situation, you are in control of your response. These are some mantras you could try repeating to yourself:  “Things could be worse.” “I will take charge of my response to this person’s actions.” “I can make it through this.” “This is only temporary.”

TL;DR in English: Understand the basic emotions. Write down your feelings. Meditate Repeat self-calming statements.

Run your thumb and index finger across the crease to ensure the leaf folds neatly and firmly. Roll it downward into a tight roll. Keep a firm hold on the bottom and smooth it over as you roll downward. Add a few dabs of hot glue to the inside ends of the rolled leaf to hold the roll in place. Allow a few minutes for the glue to dry before using it.    Make sure the full leaf is facing upward with the rolled piece sitting directly in the middle (along the middle vein). The rolled leaf should be sitting in the front (and center area) of the folded leaf. Grasp the right side of the folded leaf and roll it inward, toward the rolled leaf. Tuck underneath the other side of the bottom area of the rolled leaf and add a dab of hot glue. Fold the leaf in half, backwards with the crease running along the top of the rolled/folded leaf.     Roll the sides inward, following the same way you folded/rolled the previous leaf but this time, bend the edges/ends outward so they resemble a flowering petal.     Glue the ends and hold until dry.

TL;DR in English: Fold one leaf in half. Hold the folded leaf on its side. Place the glued rolled leaf in the middle of the next leaf. Fold the full leaf in half (backwards) and crease along the top of the rolled leaf. Wrap the folded leaf around the rolled leaf. Select another leaf and repeat the process by laying the rolled/folded leaf in the middle of the full leaf.

One of the largest keys to being popular is to make people notice you and want to be around you. In order to do that, you have to put yourself out there. If you're always walking around the halls by yourself, dreading your next class, or frowning all the way through gym class, you won’t make a good impression and people will think that it’s a drag to be around you. The secret to making people want to be around you is to let them see you laughing and having a great time so they want to spend time with you too.  When you’re hanging out with friends, make an extra effort and smile and have fun so people know you enjoy your time in school. Even when you're alone in the halls, smile at people and give off a positive vibe so that people want to get to know you. d reason. Having a pink mohawk or showing up to school in only your bathing suit will certainly make you stand out, but that may not be the kind of attention you want. To stand out in a good way, you have to let people know who you are and think positively of you when your name does come up. Here are some ways to get noticed:  You could be the guy who is always spotted with a guitar – and who actually knows how to play it. You could have a really great laugh that people can hear from anywhere in the building. You could stand out for your knockout sense of fashion. You could also rock a unique style, like looking like a hipster chick or a rocker guy, so that everyone knows who you are. Maybe you have a really low, throaty voice that sounds completely unique. Whatever your quirks are, don't try to hide them. Remember that you want to be noticed for what makes you special. Joining a team and playing a sport is not only a great way to get some exercise and feel happier, but it’s also an excellent way to meet new people and make yourself known.

Make sure the can is fully immersed and that there’s an extra two inches (five cm) of water covering the can. This will prevent the can from overheating and possibly exploding, and prevent the milk from burning. By placing the can on its side, you will prevent it from bouncing around as the water boils. When it begins to simmer, turn it down to medium heat and allow to simmer for two to three hours (two hours for a lighter dulce de leche, or three hours if you want the sauce thicker and darker). Check on the can every 30 minutes. Turn the can every half hour to prevent scorching. Top up the water as needed to ensure there’s always one to two extra inches (two-and-a-half to five cm) of water covering the can.

If you are a narcissistic extension, the narcissist will not think of you as a separate person. Therefore, they will feel entitled to your time and attention. They will not consider whether or not you have time to engage with them. They will just assume they deserve your energy.  A narcissist will expect from you whatever they expect or want for themselves. They will assume your needs and wants are the same as theirs, and therefore be very demanding of your attention. For example, if you're in a relationship with a narcissist, they may assume you're going out or staying in on any given night to suit their needs. They will become angry and even hostile if you express your need for alone time or socialization independent of them. They may be unable to understand that they do not deserve your constant attention. If you're a narcissistic extension, a narcissist sees you as an extension of themselves. Therefore, boundaries are non-existent in your relationship. A narcissist will not realize when you're becoming nervous or uncomfortable, and will continually push your boundaries in order to get you to serve their own needs.  For example, your girlfriend wants to take you hiking near the mountains, even though you've told her many times you're afraid of heights. She does not let it go until you agree to go with her. During the hike, you becoming increasingly panicked and uncomfortable as you get higher in the mountains. Your girlfriend does not seem concerned about your requests to stop. Instead, she is angry that you are not keeping up with her. She is not concerned you're uncomfortable and cannot fathom your feelings about the situation are different than her's. Conversations with a narcissist can be very frustrating. A narcissist has very little sense of shame. As a narcissistic extension, you're expected to build up a narcissist even when conversations make you uncomfortable.

If you experience difficulty sleeping, heavy breathing, loud snoring, or heavy drooling, you may have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea causes your breath to become shallow and thin during sleep.  Some behaviors and conditions can increase your risk of sleep apnea. These include smoking, high blood pressure, and people at high risk for heart failure or stroke. Your doctor can determine if you have sleep apnea by running various sleep monitoring tests and learning about your sleep history. Drooling is also a symptom of a blocked airway. Visit an ear, nose, and throat doctor to find out if a blocked airway is affecting your ability to breathe through your nose while sleeping. If you are overweight, you have a heightened chance of experiencing sleep apnea. More than half of the 12 million people in the U.S. that experience sleep apnea are overweight. Alter your diet and exercise regularly to reach a healthy weight and decrease your neck girth for easier breathing. Sleep apnea is treated a number of different ways in addition to weight loss recommendations. Those diagnosed with sleep apnea should avoid alcohol, sleeping pills, and sleep deprivation. Simple nasal sprays and saline solution rinses can help clear nasal passages as well. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first treatment that people who are suffering from sleep apnea undergo. CPAP outlines that patients must wear a mask that forces air through the nose and mouth while sleeping. The idea is to have the right amount of air pressure filtering through the air passages to prevent the upper airway tissues from collapsing as you sleep. These devices prevent the tongue from collapsing into the throat airway and can advance the lower jaw to open an airway further. People who have obstructive tissue such as a deviated septum, enlarged tonsils, or an over-sized tongue can be good candidates for various surgical procedures.   Somnoplasty uses radio frequency to constrict the soft palate at the back of the throat and open the airway....

” If you’re crushing on someone you don’t know, a great way to express your interest is by simply approaching them. After you say hi, tell them your name and ask them theirs. Continue smiling as you come up with small talk questions, such as “What grade are you in?” or “Do you come here often?” Most people will understand the signal that a stranger approaching them and starting a conversation means that they’re interested. If they make eye contact with you and smile back, they may be interested in you too. Continue talking with them until you feel it’s a good time to ask them out. This is a way to let someone know you’re interested in them without coming out and saying it. Write your name and number down a piece of paper, fold it, and hand it to them. Then smile and walk away. If your crush is interested you, they’ll call or text you. If not, and they are someone you don’t see regularly, you won’t have to worry about it again! This is another way to give a signal that you’re interested without having to uncomfortably wait for a reaction. It works well whether you already know the person or not. If your crush is interested in you too, they will probably tell your friend this, or approach you at a later point in time. You can then confidently ask them out. Parties are great places to meet people, and if you spot someone you’re attracted to who’s dancing, walk up to them and start dancing with them. If they’re interested, they’ll keep dancing with you and possibly talk to you. If not, they’ll probably wander away from you shortly.

NSAIDs are medications designed to relieve pain and to control swelling and inflammation. They are available over-the-counter and as a prescription. Follow the usage directions on the product. Most NSAIDs will recommend not taking more than 1,200 mg in a 24-hour period. Well-known and effective NSAIDS include Advil, Motrin, and Ibuprofen. Magnesium and zinc are dietary supplements that help with muscle relaxation. These can be found in foods such as spinach, peanuts, brown rice, and almonds. Magnesium and zinc can also be taken as oral supplements. Talk to a doctor for more information about taking magnesium as a supplement. It’s not a prescription medication, so can be purchased over the counter. This is a muscle relaxer that blocks pain sensations between the nerves and the brain. It is usually used with rest and physical therapy to help treat muscle pain and tension. Carisoprodol is prescribed for a limited period as it may be habit-forming. Talk to a doctor for more information about this drug. Your doctor may also recommend that you take Carisoprodol in conjunction with aspirin. This drug can be used for longer periods of time without a habit forming. It’s commonly prescribed to relieve low back pain associated with muscle spasm.  Cyclobenzaprine can be safe for pregnant women to take, but it should still only be taken under the recommendation and careful supervision of your obstetrician. Do not use the drug if you have heart rhythm problems or an overactive thyroid. Valium is used to relieve low back pain associated with muscle spasm. It’s effective at treating tension and serious muscle pain. If you have serious muscle pain or spasms, talk to your doctor about Diazepam.  This medication can be very effective but easily habit forming. It should not be used for long periods of time. Your doctor will probably only prescribe you enough for 1-2 weeks. In most cases, doctors will only prescribe Valium for severe or chronic muscle pain. Avoid drinking alcohol, driving, or operating heavy machinery when using Valium.

TL;DR in English: Try nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for mild muscle pain. Take magnesium and zinc as supplements to decrease muscle pain. Ask your doctor about Carisoprodol as a solution to muscle tension. Talk to your doctor about Cyclobenzaprine if you have muscle spasms. Consider taking Diazepam (Valium) if you have severe pain or spasms.

If this behavior occurred on your property, consult your local municipality. For encounters in a preserved forest or national park, report to the relevant forestry or parks district. If you encounter them in urban or suburban spaces, share this information with neighbors and your local animal control branch. Coyotes are creatures of habit. Be sure to change your routine if you see a coyote at the same time and place while walking your pet. Coyotes involved in biting attacks will be targeted and removed from the population. They are then often tested for rabies and are killed if found infected. However, it is important to note that an attack by an individual coyote does not warrant the general killing of coyotes. Recall that coyote attacks on humans are exceptionally rare.

TL;DR in English: Report any aggressive coyote behavior to the appropriate authorities. Keep track of when and where you encounter coyotes. Follow up with the health, animal control, or other authorities.

Although valet companies value their ability to retrieve cars quickly, this may be difficult during busy hours. If you have somewhere to go and do not want to wait for your car to be dropped off, calling ahead and letting the valet workers know that you are coming will expedite the process and ensure that your car will be waiting for you when you return. Give the valet drivers at least 10 to 20 minutes if you expect things to be unusually busy, or if you are leaving an event at the same time as a large group of people. There will often be a valet worker behind a desk whose job it is to take tickets and inform drivers which cars to retrieve. Have your ticket ready when you approach the desk so that things run smoothly. The valet employee may ask for your name and for your basic information. Before tipping the valet driver or receiving the keys to your vehicle, do a quick walk around your vehicle looking for damages, large and small. Check the doors for dings, the back bumper for dents, and the front of the car for any damages that weren’t already there.  If there are damages to the car, inform the driver and ask to speak with a manager about the damages. Depending on where you live, the liable party for damages to your car will differ. Often, the driver is liable, but some companies will take on the liability themselves. Communicating damages right away is vital, as you will not be able to prove that the company is responsible if you drive away. Once the driver hands you your keys, hand the driver this second tip to meet proper valet etiquette. Thank the driver for working so hard and let them know that you appreciate their service. If you feel as though the driver did a particularly outstanding job, feel free to tip more.

TL;DR in English: Call ahead if you are in a hurry. Hand your ticket to one of the valet workers. Check your vehicle for damages once it arrives. Tip the driver $2 - $5 (USD) again before leaving.

Do you have a favorite scary movie, or a favorite spooky character? Do you like zombies, or ghosts, or ghouls? Create a theme around that!  Your theme can dictate the kinds of costumes your guests wear. For example, you might host a Dead Rock Star party, where everyone must come dressed as their favorite dead rock star.  You can also theme your games and activities at your party. One idea is to have a pumpkin-themed party—have your guests compete to carve the best pumpkin, and then serve as judges for the finished products. and drinks to serve. There are countless fun recipes for Halloween treats that you can try out and serve at your party.  Try making some "Witches Fingers" by dyeing some honey with red food coloring, dipping pretzel rods in it, and rolling the honey-dipped pretzels in crushed peanuts.  Craft special Halloween-themed drinks for your party guests. You could try the “Pugsley Adams Punch” which calls for equal parts orange juice, white grape juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, apple juice, and lemon-lime soda, then garnish the glasses with a gummy worm. Set aside a room in your house, or use your garage or backyard, and create a walk-through haunted house to scare your party guests with.  Use spooky sound effects and music to make the house even scarier. You can buy Halloween sound effects CDs or download them to play at the party. Use red and black lights to create a spooky ambiance in your haunted house and at your party.  Have friends volunteer to hide in the haunted house and jump out to scare other guests as they walk through. These can range from costume charades where your guests have to guess each other's costumes, to playing hide-and-seek in the backyard once it gets dark.  One fun game to create for your guests is a DIY costume table. Use some leftover materials from school projects or crafts and allow your guests to make their own masks when they arrive.  Another activity to try is to have your guests "guess the body part" in covered boxes. Use things like cooked noodles to...

While many cats are placid, easygoing, and like to sleep a lot, a Siamese is not this type of cat. In certain ways, having a Siamese is much more like owning a dog. Siamese cats are strong-willed and intelligent. If the Siamese sets its sights on doing something then they will do it regardless of the obstacles or consequences. Because of their intelligence and stubbornness, Siamese cats are very difficult to train. For example, a Siamese may ignore unpleasant experiences such as being squirted with water, which makes it difficult to deter them from bad behavior. A regular cat may chirp and purr sometimes, but the Siamese yowls and howls. A Siamese may keep howling and yowling for hours if it wants something. The Siamese cat’s howl is loud and quite annoying, which is what makes it so difficult to ignore Think about whether a noisy cat would annoy you or comfort you. If you want a cat because you are out a lot, then getting a Siamese cat may not be your best option. Siamese cats need attention and they will howl or destroy the place if they don't get it. These cats are needy and they demand your attention. If they don't get enough attention, they often resort to destructive behavior to take their minds off being alone. You will need to board your Siamese cat or hire a live-in pet sitter when you'll be away for more than one day, as your Siamese won't be able to tolerate human absence for any lengthy period. If you plan to get a Siamese kitten, then you will need to kitten proof your home. But even if you plan to get an adult Siamese, you will need to make sure that your home is safe for the cat. Siamese cats are very intelligent and curious. They may end up tangled in your electrical wires or climbing up into your shelves. Secure loose wires, put a screen on the fireplace, put child safety locks on all of your shelves, and keep fire out of reach.

TL;DR in English: Understand that Siamese cats differ from other cat breeds. Expect difficulty training your Siamese cat. Be aware that Siamese cats are extremely vocal. Keep in mind that Siamese cats crave company. Decide if you can make your home safe enough for a new cat or kitten.

You can use rolled oats or quick oats.  Quick oats, as their name suggests, cook faster than regular (rolled) oats, but they often end up mushier than rolled oats, and have less texture.  If you wish, you could combine both types. There is no “right” amount of oats you should use.  If you are quite hungry for oatmeal, you’ll probably want 1 cup or more.  If you are just having a snack, you’ll likely use about 1/2 cup of oatmeal. If you’re cooking 1 cup of oatmeal, boil 2 cups of water.  This will ensure the oats are cooked well.  For slightly thicker oatmeal, however, you could reduce the water-to-oats ratio from 2:1 to 3:2. Substitute milk for water if you want to enjoy a stickier, thicker oatmeal. When your water is boiling, add a dash of nutmeg, brown sugar, cinnamon, or allspice.  These spices will kick your oatmeal up a notch in flavor. Add about one teaspoon of each spice and one tablespoon of sugar per cup of oatmeal. Wait about 5 minutes for the oats to absorb it and cool to an edible temperature.  Add additional spices and flavorings if you wish.

TL;DR in English: Put your oats in a bowl. Boil twice as many cups of water as oatmeal. Add spices and flavorings to your water. Pour the water into the oatmeal.

Gather as much lichen as possible. The best kind of lichen are ones that are, for lack of better word, "spongy" The best kind of Moss to get are likewise "spongy" and appear green-white or light yellow -green/brown in color and generally hang off of tree branches in long hair-like looking clumps. Make sure it's DRY, if not set it somewhere air-tight and warm ("room-temperature")  Unravel it so it's a tangled mess of fibers, then add it to the lichen/moss lump. Thoroughly scramble/mix/toss/combine them with each other. It's your choice but it works better as one large mass.  , etc.) Loop it around and through the ball multiple times finishing with both ends next to each other. This is optional but for added measure you could spray or "mist" the tied up LMTF (lichen/moss/twine fiber) with bug spray or an aerosol  deodorant as both of these are equally flammable. Make a small opening in the LMTF ball that goes straight to the center of it, light a matchstick it into the opening, and drop it inside it. Now step back and wait a little, as it takes the moss and the lichen a little bit to ignite.  If it works properly it should start sending up huge thick gusts of white smoke. There exists a chance however that the twine will actually catch fire eventually turning the whole thing into a fireball. This one is much less noxious then the ping-pong ball one because moss and lichen do NOT burn naturally, it just smolders and makes nothing but minimal heat and LOTS of smoke. (They can burn if drenched in lighter fluid or if the fire is ridiculously hot.) Therefore the smoke it makes smells just like that; smoke. Not a nasty smelling smoke or a pleasant campfire smoke. Just smoke-smoke it's completely neutral smelling, but that does NOT mean you can just stand there and smell it all day! Smoke is still bad for you lungs regardless of smell.  The twine also doesn't burn but it still smolders and generates more heat then moss or lichen does, plus it goes up in minute flames in a matter of seconds.

TL;DR in English: Go out to a densely wooded area. Gather as much Moss as possible. Lump the dry lichen and moss together. Get some twine of any length over 5 inches (12.7 cm), give or take. Bundle it into either one large loose ball shaped mass or multiple small ones. Get some more twine in a length of 10+ inches and this time only "loosen it up". Take the loosened twine and soak small parts of it in a flammable liquid (lighter fluid, gas, oil? Use the loosened twine to gently bind up the loose ball shaped lichen/moss/twine fiber mass. Tie the loose twine ends together in a Square Knot. Set it outside somewhere.

The basis of Buddhist teaching is something called the Four Noble Truths, which are based on the idea that suffering is an intrinsic part of life, but that suffering can be ended by breaking the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. From the four truths come the Four Great Bodhisattva Vows, which are a path that can help you end suffering.  The first noble truth is the truth of suffering. The first bodhisattva vow is the vow to rescue living beings from suffering. In Buddhism, suffering refers to the physical and mental suffering of all human beings. The key to ending suffering is reaching nirvana, which can be done by living according to the Noble Eightfold Path (also known as the Middle Way). The two staples at the center of Buddhism are the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. The Four Noble Truths can be understood as the belief behind Buddhism, and the Noble Eightfold Path is the discipline and practice behind that belief. Living according to the Noble Eightfold Path includes:  Right speech, action, and livelihood. The key to following these three elements involve living according to the Five Precepts. Right effort, mindfulness, and concentration, which can be achieved by practicing meditation. Right understanding and thought, which come about when you practice meditation, cultivate mindfulness, and live according to the Five Precepts. The second noble truth is a recognition of the cause of suffering, which comes from desire, ignorance, and the craving of pleasure and material goods. The corresponding bodhisattva vow involves vowing to end desire and craving. Buddhist don't believe that suffering and desire can be ended easily. Rather, this is a pursuit that spans many lifetimes, but you can do your part by following the Noble Eightfold Path. The third noble truth is the understanding that suffering can end, and this means suffering both in life and in spiritual terms. The answer to the end of suffering is learning, enlightenment, and action. The corresponding vow for the third noble truth is to...

Determine face shape. Get detailed instructions for the particular cut you plan to make. Familiarize yourself with terminology.

Use a utility knife to cut through the caulk and paint holding the interior trim in place. Once the caulk is cut, work a pry bar into the opening. Put pressure on this to pull the interior trim away from the wall, removing it slowly so you can deal with any caulk, paint or glue that might still be present. There may be staples holding the top piece of trim to the side pieces as well. Repeat the same steps on the exterior trim.  Don’t skip cutting the caulk. If you pry the trim away without cutting the caulk first, you risk damaging the wall. Set the trim aside. You’ll need to re-attach it once the door has been installed. Grasp each section of the door firmly with both hands. Lift it straight up out of the running track, and pull the door backwards out of the frame. The doors are heavy, so should be removed one at a time. Each section of the door can weigh about 100 pounds (45 kg).  If you’re not comfortable lifting that much on your own, ask a friend to help you with the door removal and installation process. If you notice the bottom rollers are hanging up as you lift the door, get an assistant to pry them up gently as you move the door up and out. Once the trim has been removed, you can remove any nails that are left behind. Then, use a screwdriver to remove the screws which hold the frame of the sliding door to the wooden door frame. Remove screws on the left, right, top, and bottom sides of the sliding door.  Although you can use any screwdriver for this step, it’ll be more efficient to use an electric screwdriver. If the door is older, its screws may be stripped or caked with paint or caulk, making them difficult to remove with a screwdriver. Instead, have someone hold the door to stop it from falling while you use a reciprocating saw with a bimetal blade to cut between the door frame and the framing and quickly slice through any screws and nails.

TL;DR in English: Cut away the interior and exterior trim. Lift the doors out of place. Remove nails holding the door frame in place.

Some symptoms of a cold should be addressed, and treated, individually. While the general natural treatments will help, there are other things you can do to alleviate individual symptoms. Symptoms of the common cold can include:   Nasal dryness or irritation is often the first symptom. Sore throat or an irritated, itchy throat is another common first symptom. Nasal discharge, nasal congestion, and sneezing.  These usually get worse over the next 2-3 days after the first symptoms. The nasal discharge is usually clear and watery. It may become thicker and greenish-yellow. Headache or body aches. Watery eyes. Facial and ear pressure from congested sinuses. Loss of sense of smell and taste. Cough and/or hoarseness. A low-grade fever may occur, usually in infants and preschool children. For stuffy nose, put a couple drops eucalyptus, peppermint, and tea tree oil in a bowl of boiling water. Put your face over it (not too close — don't burn yourself on the steam!) and cover with towel to inhale steam. You can also put these oils right into your bathwater. You can use natural cough drops or throat sprays, which will help to moisturize your throat and ease discomfort. If you have a dry cough, milk will moisturize your throat and help you feel better. If you have a productive cough (with phlegm coming up) milk will increase the problem. If you are concerned about strep throat, a cough indicates that you do not have strep. For a general sore throat, gargle with warm salt water to kill bacteria. You can add one drop of tea tree oil to a warm salt water gargle, if available. This will help to kill bacteria in the throat. The common cold can be complicated by ear infections (otitis media), sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses), chronic bronchitis (lung inflammation with congestion and coughing) and worsening of asthma symptoms. If you have a combination of illnesses, it may be best to consult with a doctor to get the treatment you need.

TL;DR in English: Treat individual symptoms. Treat sinus congestion. Treat a cough. Treat a sore throat. Treat additional illnesses that could exacerbate your cold symptoms.

Gastroparesis prevents food from moving through your body at a regular pace. If you notice you’re not going to the bathroom as frequently, it could be a sign that you have gastroparesis. Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of gastroparesis. Because your stomach is not emptying as it should, the food is just sitting there, which makes you nauseous. In fact, when you vomit, you may notice the food hasn't been digested at all. This symptom will likely be a daily occurrence. Heartburn is also a common symptom of this disease. Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest and throat, caused by acid coming back up from your stomach. You'll likely have this symptom regularly. This disease can decrease your appetite, as the food you eat isn't being digested properly. That means that new food has nowhere to go, so you won't feel as hungry. In fact, you may feel full after a few bites when you do eat. Because you won't want to eat as much, you may lose weight. Plus, your stomach isn't digesting the food as it should, so you're not getting the nutrients you need to fuel your body and help you keep weight on. Because food sits in your stomach longer than it should, you may experience the feeling of being bloated. Similarly, this condition can also give you a stomachache. This disease is common in type 1 and type 2 diabetics. If you notice your blood sugar readings are more erratic than normal, that could also be a symptom of this issue.

TL;DR in English: Notice if it’s taking longer for food to go through your system. Pay attention to nausea and vomiting. Notice heartburn. Check if your appetite is low. Watch for weight loss. Look for pain and bloating in your stomach. Be aware in blood sugar changes if you're a diabetic.

A hairstyle should work with a person's face shape and complement his or her features.  Oval.  An oval face shape is considered to be the one shape that can wear any type of style. Round.  A layered top that provides fullness and height and thinned out hair below the cheekbones all work to lengthen the look of the face and give the illusion of a narrower chin line. Heart shape.  Go for a style that offers more fullness lower on the face and less fullness at the forehead. Square.  The idea here is to soften the face so wispy bangs and wavy styles help to create this effect.  It's best to avoid straight lines, straight bangs and straight or flat hair for this face shape. Oblong.  Avoid flat, long straight hair because this will make the face look even longer. Consider a bang, especially a side-swept bang to create the illusion of a shorter forehead for the person with this longer face shape. Diamond. Choose a cut with lots of layers. Avoid bangs unless you go with a slightly off-center curtain bang. You don't want to "wing it" when it comes to creating a hairstyle.  Learn as much as you can about how to do a specific type of cut before you attempt it.  Watch online videos.  Check YouTube and websites dedicated to hair for videos that depict the steps involved in creating the hairstyle you've chosen.  Be sure the person who is doing the demonstration is an experienced stylist. Page through hair style magazines.  Some magazines offer tutorials with photos that will show you how to do your cut. Check out sites belonging to hair product companies.  Companies that produce and/or sell hair products often include "how-to's" on their websites.   Instagram and Pinterest are also great for inspiration. You need to understand some of the specialized terms stylists use when talking about cutting hair so that you can follow instructions more easily.  Angle indicates the position of the scissors when cutting; you may be holding them vertically, horizontally, or at 45 degrees. Elevation refers to which direction the hair is...

Having long nails doesn’t mean never cutting them! Once you’ve decided on a desired length, groom your nails often to maintain that length. The length you choose is completely up to you, but remember that the longer your nails are, the more bacteria they can harbor. Diligently keep your nails and hands clean.  Trim your nails straight across, then trim the sides as rounded edges. Doing this will avoid breakage and since you'll be shaping them with a file later, don't worry about trimming them to the desired shape now. Everyone’s nails having a breaking point after reaching a certain length, no matter how strong your nails are. The longer the nail, the more easily it can break. Experiment a little to find out what length works best for you. Apply the nail hardener first and then add a fresh layer of topcoat every 1 to 2 days to keep your nails looking great and to help prevent chipping and breakage. If you polish your nails with color, do that first and then apply the additional products.  There is a wide variety of nail polish, nail strengtheners, topcoat and nail hardeners on the market, which you can find in the same section as nail polish when shopping. Experiment with different kinds and discover which products work best for you. Avoid changing your polish frequently, because nail polish itself and removing the polish can both be hard on your nails.  Decals are popular nail adornments and there are tons of designs available. The best ones to use are the kind you peel off paper and apply to your nail like stickers. Do this after you apply nail color, and then do your topcoat on top of the decals to seal them in. These can weaken your nails. The worst culprit is nail polisher remover, which is particularly harsh because many removers contain acetone, which is a very aggressive solvent.  Limit your use of nail polish remover and choose a brand that is acetone-free. Many nail polish brands use harsh and even toxic chemicals in their formulas. These chemicals can make your nails brittle. If this concerns you,...

TL;DR in English: Trim your nails regularly. Apply protective layers of topcoat and nail hardeners to your nails. Avoid using harsh nail care products. Wear gloves when washing dishes or using household cleaners. Use moisturizer to keep your nails hydrated. Maintain a healthy diet.

Defective spark plug wire leave tell-tale signs of their deterioration. The most common symptoms include:  An erratic idle Engine misfire Radio interference Decreased fuel mileage Failed emissions tests due to elevated hydrocarbon emissions or a fault code indicating cylinder misfire Check engine light Once you have sprayed the spark plug wires and there has been arching, you need to look at the inside of the boot. Remove the boot from the plug by pulling it straight up and off. Check inside the boot for carbon tracking, which is a residue that leaves black marks all over the inside of the boot. The buildup of this carbon shows that the connection is not optimal and can lead to misfiring. If carbon tracking is present, the spark plug and the wire should be replaced.

Before a student can learn syllabication, she will have to understand how vowel sounds work. She will also have to learn the fact that some vowel sounds are spelled using two vowel letters, such as the "ou" vowel sound in the word round. Before moving on to syllable division, ask your student to accomplish the following tasks:  Know the difference between a short vowel sound and a long vowel sound. Be able to determine a vowel sound for one-syllable words based on the consonants around it. Recognize common English word patterns. For example, they should learn that many consonant-vowel-consonant words involve a short vowel sound, as in rat or tot, whereas many consonant-vowel-consonant-e words involve a long vowel sound, as in rate or tote.  Memorize common vowel sounds that are spelled with two vowel letters, such as "ou," "oi," "ie," "ea," and "ei." Many of the rules of syllabication are approximations. There are no exact rules that can be applied 100% of the time. Much of correct syllabication has to do with instinct and experience. This is why it is essential that you are helping to build your students' vocabularies and reading skills at the same time that you teach syllabication.  For example, continue to ask students to read increasingly difficult texts to expose them to new words, longer words, and new sounds. Assign vocabulary lists to memorize. Make sure you tell students how to pronounce these words as well. Encourage your students to listen carefully to other speakers to hear how words are pronounced and divided into syllables. Whether you are teaching young children, new learners of the language, or native speakers, you should introduce the concept of counting syllables as early as possible. Read off several words of varying lengths, and ask your students to identify the number of syllables they hear. They should be comfortable with counting syllables well before they begin syllabication themselves. Ask young students or people who are having trouble understanding syllables to hold his own chin...

TL;DR in English: Explain vowel sounds to students. Build a student's vocabulary during syllabication instruction. Get students used to counting syllables early on. Have your student touch his chin while speaking. Use drumming and clapping to emphasize syllabication rules. Have your students memorize only the most useful syllabication rules. Give students the Syllable Sort exercise. Ask students to divide proper names into syllables. Make a syllabication game using index cards. Reinforce syllabication knowledge using quizzes and tests.

After you have given yourself a vacation from your original set of perceptions, drag out the list and go through it point by point. Ask yourself if each point has any validity to it and spend the time carefully going through the list one by one. With each perception or statement you made, ask yourself:  "Is it really true?" "Can I prove it to be completely true? Can I prove it to be false?" "How do I react, physically and emotionally, to this thought or idea?" “Are there positive attributes associated with this negative quality?” / “Are there negative attributes associated with this positive quality?” Check your perceptions by forcing yourself to become a beginner again at something new. During times of uncertainty, one's strengths and weaknesses are more likely to show through. Pay close attention to your own reactions during the experience to get a better idea of what your own positive and negative attributes really are.  The trick is to find something you know nothing about and to force yourself into learning about it. If you know nothing about cooking, for example, then learn how to cook. You need to pay special attention to your responses and reactions during this time. This process also needs to be completed on your own. Do not rely on others to get you through it. People hate being wrong, but nobody is perfect. Instead of trying to deny your failings and faults, stop making excuses for yourself and be honest about the things that are wrong. This include the things you already believed to be wrong and those you may have previously denied.  Understand that accepting your failings is a necessary part of seeing yourself as you really are. Aside from that, only in acknowledging and accepting your failings can you hope to eventually improve upon them. You need to do away with excuses, as well. For instance, if you procrastinate habitually, do not try to justify it by saying that you get the work done anyway and so it doesn't really matter. Instead, simply admit to yourself that you procrastinate. When faced...

TL;DR in English: Analyze each perception you originally had. Break out of your comfort zone. Accept your failings. Project inwardly. Look in from the outside. Keep a journal. Think about yourself in healthy ways. Ask yourself who you want to be.

A tailored button-up shirt pairs well with a black pencil skirt, a-line, or midi skirt for a simple office look. Choose a plain colored shirt or a simple pattern, like polka dots or stripes. Tuck the shirt into your skirt so it looks polished. Consider wearing a belt over the waist of your skirt to pull the look together. For instance, you might wear a wide belt with a button-up shirt and a-line skirt. Both short-sleeved and long-sleeved blouses look great with a pencil skirt. Choose a solid color blouse if you're going for a polished look, or wear a fun print if your office culture encourages creative expression.  For example, you might wear a red silk blouse with your pencil skirt if you're going for a conservative look. As another option, you might wear a floral print or polka dot blouse for a professional look that's fun. Pick a basic black blazer for a polished all-black look. As another option, choose a blazer in a bold color to get noticed. Wear your blazer over a camisole, silk blouse, or button-up shirt.  For example, you might wear a black blazer over a white button-up shirt and a pencil skirt for a style that's both feminine and masculine. As another option, pair a pale blue blazer with a white camisole and black a-line skirt for a fresh look. You don't necessarily need to wear tights with a work look. However, you might decide to wear them if you don't like exposing your legs at work or your workplace culture is a bit conservative. Choose black or solid-color tights to complement a work outfit. During spring and summer, stick to sheer black or colored tights. During the fall and winter, pick opaque tights for more warmth. Ballet flats, pumps, kitten heels, and ankle boots are all great for a work look. If your outfit features neutral colors, you might add a pop of color or a print with a fun shoe. However, stick to a neutral shoe if your top is a fun color or print. Additionally, pick shoes that are comfortable enough for you to wear them all day. For instance, bright pink or leopard print shoes...
