A good way to hide condoms is to place them in uninteresting containers. This is a relatively safe way to store condoms as well, as they're less susceptible to damage.  An Altoids tin, toiletries bag, an unused jewelry box, or a coin purse are all good places to hide condoms.  One downside to this method is that if someone wants a mint or some change, they may find the condoms. It might be a good idea to keep the container in a discreet place as well. Condoms can also be hidden in clothing. Hide a condom in a sock, the sleeve or pocket of a coat you do not usually use, or a winter hat. Just make sure the item of clothing is stored in a safe place where it will not get moved around without your knowledge. Make sure clothing is not stored at extremely hot or extremely cold temperatures. You can purchase discreet cases in which to covertly store condoms. These cases are often disguised as mint tins or jewelry cases. They also may look like simple, non decorative containers. You can buy condom cases online or at sex shops. If you have an old book you do not need, consider cutting a square shaped hole in the center of the pages. You can place a condom in here or several condoms. Just be careful where you leave the book. If you leave it out on a coffee table, for example, someone may open it. It's best to choose an uninteresting looking book and tuck it away in the back of the bookshelf.

TL;DR in English: Hide condoms in containers. Store condoms in clothes. Consider investing in a condom case. Hollow out a book.

Put your phone in a drawer or keep it in your bag so you won't be tempted to use it. Additionally, stay off any other distracting electronic devices unless you need them to study. A grumbling stomach is distracting, so have yogurt, oatmeal, or fruit before you get to work. It's also a good idea to keep a granola bar, nuts, or trail mix handy in case you get hungry. Healthy snacks that are packed with protein and complex carbs give you the fuel you need to stay focused. Fruit, nuts, and whole grains are good choices. Avoid sweets and junk food, which will cause your blood sugar to spike and dip. Find a distraction-free spot, like a low-traffic part of your home or the library. Try to use that location (or a few regular locations) whenever you study. If you study in the same place over and over again, you'll unconsciously sense it's time to get to work when you arrive at that location.  Additionally, study at a desk or table with enough room to spread out your study materials. Avoid studying in bed, since getting too comfortable can distract you from your studies. Keep your area neat, clean and organized, which can help you keep a clear mind. A messy space will make your mind feel cluttered, as well. Try to study in an area that has natural light, which can help energize your mind. If you have multiple assignments or subjects to study, work on 1 for an hour, then switch gears. Even if you're studying for a test and can't switch subjects, try to focus on 1 unit or topic for about an hour at a time.  For example, if you're studying for a history test on World War II, review your notes on the events leading up to the war. Take a break to have a snack or stretch, then work on the European front. You could also review textbook chapter outlines for an hour, then switch to studying flashcards. Rather than try to force yourself to concentrate on 1 thing, you'll boost your efficiency and remember more if you mix up your tasks. If you get your toughest or most boring work out of the way, it'll be easier to study for a...

TL;DR in English: Keep your phone out of sight and out of mind. Eat a healthy snack before you study. Choose a designated spot for studying. Mix up tasks and topics to prevent boredom. Study difficult subjects first to get them out of the way. Play music while you study if it helps you concentrate.

Negative thoughts can influence your health and wellness for the worse. They also impact your immune system, making it more likely that you'll get sick. A self-defeating attitude can even cause you to make poor lifestyle choices like skipping workouts or binge-eating junk food. You can counteract these negative effects by making healthy choices for your physical health. Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise on most days of the week. Eat nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean sources of protein, and low-fat dairy. Get enough rest each night--aim for 7 to 9 hours. Negative thinking can tempt you to turn to drugs and alcohol. These substances may temporarily numb painful feelings, but they only make the problem worse in the end. Avoid them in favor of relaxation exercises and self-care activities. Having low self-esteem can even harm your relationships. You may put your negativity off on the other person, blaming them for the way you feel. Counteract this problem by communicating with those closest to you and letting them know what you need.  Telling them may help them understand that you are the one with the issue, not them. For instance, you might say, "I know I get down on myself sometimes. I really appreciate you trying to cheer me up. I need someone positive in my life like you right now."  Avoid isolating yourself, as it can make things worse. Depression and anxiety can cause you to feel like a failure even when there isn’t any real reason behind it. Visit a doctor or psychiatrist if you feel that this could be the cause. If you constantly feel bogged down by an overwhelming feeling of failure, you could be suffering from depression. Other signs include feeling tired all the time, worthless, unmotivated, and suicidal. Talking to a therapist or taking medication may help you overcome these feelings of failure.

TL;DR in English: Make healthy choices. Avoid alcohol and drugs. Ask for support from loved ones. Seek help if a mental illness is the cause.

There are two kinds of car seats available for infants: infant car seats and convertible car seats. Infant car seats only last for the infant stage, but are usually considered safer for babies, especially smaller babies. Convertible car seats will last for a few years, accommodating the child as she grows from infant to toddler to preschooler.  An infant seat is only for babies, and will always be rear-facing in the car. It usually has a base that is strapped into the back seat of a car, and a snap-in seat that can be removed and carried. These seats are recommended for weights up to 22 or 40 pounds, depending on the model. The snap-in seat can be more convenient, as it can be removed from the car without disturbing the infant. A convertible seat will be rear-facing for at least the first year of the baby’s life (most safety organizations and manufacturers now recommend two years for rear-facing seating), and then the seat will “convert” into a seat for a toddler. These seats can accommodate up to 40 or 50 pounds, depending on the model. Pay attention first and foremost to a car seat’s weight and height limits, not to the age of your child. You will need to have a car seat to transport the baby in just about any moving vehicle once it is born. If you are taking the baby home from the hospital, the nurse who discharges you will likely need to confirm that you have a properly installed car seat in your car. If you are going home in a taxi, you will still need a car seat for your baby to safely and legally ride in a car. If you are using an infant car seat that you will snap in and out of a base, think about how much you will be carrying this around. Also consider the weight of the baby; adding the car seat and the baby together may mean you’re toting around 30 pounds or more. Removable infant car seats also have handles to carry them; test out the handle to see how comfortable it is in your hand. If you are buying a car seat before the baby is born, you will not be able to complete this step. If you are buying...

The contribution margin is total sales less variable expenses.  Variable expenses are those costs that increase with each incremental sale.  Cost of goods sold, sales commissions and delivery expenses are examples of variable expenses.  Subtract these expenses from total sales to calculate the contribution margin.  For example, suppose Company ABC had $100,000 in total sales in December, 2015.  Variable expenses were: cost of goods sold - $30,000; sales commissions – 20,000; delivery expenses - $10,000. The contribution margin is $100,000−$30,000−$20,000−$10,000=$40,000{\displaystyle \$100,000-\$30,000-\$20,000-\$10,000=\$40,000}. Operating income is the total sales less all operating expenses except interest and taxes.  If you have already deducted your variable expenses from total sales, now subtract fixed expenses to calculate the operating income.  Fixed expenses include advertising, insurance, rent, utilities and payroll wages.  Suppose Company ABC’s fixed expenses were: advertising - $2,000; insurance - $5,000; rent - $3,000; utilities - $2,000; wages - $18,000. Total fixed expenses are $30,000. Operating income is total sales less variable and fixed expenses. For Company ABC, the total sales were $100,000.  The variable expenses are $60,000 and fixed costs are $30,000. Operating income = $100,000−$60,000−$30,000=$10,000{\displaystyle \$100,000-\$60,000-\$30,000=\$10,000}. Divide the contribution margin by the operating income.  Company ABC’s contribution margin is $40,000.  Its operating income is $10,000..  Operating leverage = contribution margin / operating income. $40,000/$10,000=4{\displaystyle \$40,000/\$10,000=4} Company ABC’s operating leverage is 4.

TL;DR in English: Calculate contribution margin. Calculate operating income. Calculate operating leverage.

In our Hello World program, we printed out a string for the user to see, but the interactive part of programs is when the user gets to enter input into the program. We will now extend our program to prompt the user for his or her name and then greet the user by his or her name. In Java, we have some built in libraries that we have access to, but we have to import them. One of these libraries is java.util, which contains the Scanner object that we need to get user input. In order to import the Scanner class, we add the following line to the beginning of our code.   import java.util.Scanner;    This tells our program that we want to use the Scanner object which exists in the package java.util. If we wanted to have access to every object in the java.util package, we simply write import java.util.*; at the beginning of our code. Java is an object-oriented programming language, so it represents concepts using objects. The Scanner object is an example of an object that has fields and methods. In order to use the Scanner class, we have to create a new Scanner object that we can populate the fields of and use the methods of. To do this, we write:   Scanner userInputScanner = new Scanner(System.in);     userInputScanner is the name of the Scanner object that we just instantiated. Note that the name is written in camel case; this is the convention for naming variables in Java. We use the new operator to create a new instance of an object. So, in this instance, we created a new instance of the Scanner object by writing new Scanner(System.in). The Scanner object takes in a parameter that tells the object what to scan. In this case, we put in System.in as a parameter. System.in tells the program to scan the input from the system, which is the input that the user will type into the program. We have to prompt the user for an input so that the user knows when to type something into the console. This can be accomplished with a System.out.print or a System.out.println.   System.out.print("What's your name? "); The Scanner will...

TL;DR in English: We will now extend our Hello World program to take input from the user. Import the Scanner class. Inside our main method, instantiate a new instance of the Scanner object. Prompt the user for an input. Ask the Scanner object to take in the next line that the user types in and store that in a variable. Print out a greeting to the user. Put it all together and save. Compile and run.

Think about the little things you do and have done for one another that come from a place of love. Those little gestures are romantic. Does your partner make the coffee for both of you in the morning? Does he text you during the day just to say hi or check in? All these little actions are ways of showing love and romance that often get overlooked as the years go on.  Take the time to compliment each other. The compliments you gave each other in the beginning on how you looked, your talents, or your actions, are likely no longer mentioned out loud. Bring complimenting your partner back into practice. Remember what attracted you to her in the first place by looking back on your relationship. Think about when you met your partner, what you thought then, and why you fell in love with her.  As you are recalling these things, share them with your partner.  Look over old pictures or love letters to each other. Sit together over dinner or drinks and recollect together the beginning of your relationship. Recall what you wanted your life together to be like and what it was like to plan for your future together. As relationships continue you become comfortable and caught up in routine. Touch is a romantic part of a relationship, regardless of how long the relationship has gone on. Have physical contact with each other frequently throughout the day. Pretend like your relationship is brand new and make a concerted effort to touch each other.   Put your hand on your partner's shoulder or give him a shoulder massage. Hold hands while you are walking. Place your hand on the small of your partner's back. In the beginning of relationships everything is new and fascinating. You take note of everything about your partner. Over the years, you both may have grown apart. Get back to knowing her through and through by taking note of the foods, music, movies, and activities your partner enjoys the most. As you try new things, remember to keep track of the things your partner enjoyed. This shows you are taking time to focus just on...

TL;DR in English: Focus on the positives. Be nostalgic. Show affection. Focus on intimacy. Take a break.

If a fox is raising a family in your yard, consider allowing it to stay until the kits are old enough to travel. They should be able to leave safely at nine weeks old, when they start hunting with their parents. This usually happens in late spring or early summer. The first time you see kits out of the den, they're probably around four or five weeks old. Give them another month before you drive them out. Most dens are in enclosed spaces, such as crawlspaces or rock shelters. Soak rags or straw in commercial fox repellent, and place them in the path of the entrance. Pile it high without blocking the fox's access. If there are foxes living in the den, they should move the repellent out of the way frequently. Check daily and replace with fresh repellent if necessary. If a batch of repellent is still blocking the entrances after two days, the foxes have probably moved on. Block the entrance with a more substantial barrier, such as bricks or cinder blocks.

You’ll want to make sure your diet contains all the vitamins and minerals your body requires. Include at least five portions of fruits and vegetables in your diet every day to keep your body, including your kidneys, healthy.  Fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, fiber, and assorted vitamins and minerals, all of which are essential elements for the correct functioning of your body. Consider swapping out one of your normal snack foods (e.g., a bag of chips) for a piece of fresh fruit or cutting a banana over your cereal every morning to easily increase the amount of fruit you eat in a normal day.  Only rely on fruit and vegetable juices for 1 of your 5 daily portions. The other 4 portions need to come from solid fruits and vegetables to get the needed health benefits. Eating too much salt impedes the correct functioning of the kidneys and can cause kidney stones. Eating too much sugar or saturated fats is also bad for your overall health and can lead to unhealthy weight gain, which is bad for your kidneys.  Swap out salty or processed snacks with fruits and vegetables or other healthy alternatives like unsalted nuts. Avoid fried and processed foods wherever possible. If you opt for low-fat foods, check to make sure they don’t have a lot of added sugar. A good trick when you are preparing food is to replace half the salt that you would usually use with other spices. Healthy fats and oils, like polyunsaturated fat and fish oil, contain vital nutrients that our bodies need and can help prevent disease. Add sources of healthy fats and oils to your diet to maximize the health benefits of the foods you eat. Oily fish, olive oil, dried fruits, and avocados are excellent sources of healthy fats, which are necessary to line and protect our vital organs. Kale and spinach are both green vegetables packed with vitamins A, C, and K, along with other helpful nutrients like potassium and magnesium. Eating more of these leafy greens can give you all sorts of benefits that help keep your kidneys, and your whole body,...

TL;DR in English: Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Cut back on foods high in salt, sugar, or saturated fats. Eat more healthy fats and oils as part of a balanced diet. Incorporate more kale and spinach into your diet. Limit your portion sizes to avoid overeating.

Opt for compact fluorescent (CFL) or light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. These options use an average of 75 percent less electricity (usually sourced from coal). They also last much longer (5 to 20 years), saving you lots of money in the long run. CFLs and LEDs are brighter than incandescent bulbs. If you’re sensitive to bright lights, look into fitting your lamps with darker lamp shades. For ceiling fixtures, consider installing LED-compatible dimmers. Each time you turn a light on, you use up energy. Unfortunately, many people have a habit of turning on lights they don't actually need. By reducing your use of lighting, you will not only help conserve energy, but also save on electricity bills.  Keep the lights off in rooms that you are not currently using. On sunny days, open the curtains for some free solar lighting. Consider switching to timers or motion sensors if you need lights on in unused areas for security or safety reasons. This is great for garden pathways. Use dimmers and less lighting later at night to help your body get ready for sleep. Switch to smaller, energy-efficient lights. If you’re reading or sewing, use a desk lamp rather than a ceiling lamp. Even if your coffee maker or computer is switched off, it’s still consuming energy as long as it is still plugged into the wall. Unplug these devices when not in use. If you have multiple electronics in, consider using a power strip. This way, you can simply turn the strip off to cut the power. Central air often uses coal-based electricity. Central heating often uses oil or natural gas. Adjusting the temperature just one or two degrees can help to conserve resources. To maximize your comfort, dress warmly and use thick blankets during colder weather. When it’s hot outside, close the blinds on east-facing windows in the morning and west-facing windows in the afternoon. Insulate your home with weather stripping, caulk, and eco-friendly insulation. This will prevent cold winter air and hot summer air from making your home uncomfortable. Most clothes...

TL;DR in English: Use energy-efficient light bulbs. Reduce lighting use. Unplug small appliances and electronics. Turn down the heat and air conditioner. Ditch the clothes dryer. Use cooler water. Power up with renewables.

Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil evenly with nonstick cooking spray. Peel off the light green outer leaves. Gently peel back the remaining inner leaves at the end of each cob. Think of these pulled back leaves as the corn’s "zipper." Grab the “zipper” and tassels and pull them off each ear in 1 smooth motion. Snap the leaves off the ends, then pull off any remaining silk from the kernels with your fingers. Place the shucked corn on the foil-lined baking sheet. Use a butter knife to smear 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of melted butter onto each ear. Be sure to spread the butter from the base to the tip of the piece of corn, and then all the way around it. Season each ear with sea salt and pepper. Rinse the poblanos and jalapeno off with water, then pat them dry. Place the whole peppers onto the baking sheet with the corn. Spray the tops of the peppers with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the veggies out on the baking sheet so none of them are overlapping. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven. After roasting for 10 minutes, use tongs to quickly flip over each ear of corn and all of the peppers. Use tongs to flip each piece of corn over again, then remove the roasted peppers from the baking sheet. Close the oven door. Put the peppers in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Let the peppers sit for 15 to 20 minutes while the corn continues to roast. Dice the red onion and place it in a medium sized bowl. Pour the red wine vinegar over the onion. Set this aside to marinate for 10 minutes while you finish preparing the salsa. Remove the peppers from the container. Use a sharp knife to peel off the skin from all of them. Cut into each pepper and remove the ribs and seeds from the inside. Discard these. Dice the peppers and add them to the bowl with the onions and vinegar. The corn kernels should be lightly browned when you remove them from the oven. Let the ears cool for a few minutes so that you can handle them. Use a sharp knife to slice the kernels off of each piece. Chop the fresh...

There are many stores, local and chain, who buy products from the public at a reduced rate and then resell them in their stores. Sort through your home to find things you no longer need, want, or use and make a visit to these stores in your area.  If you consider yourself quite the avid reader with a library to match, consider sorting through your archives to find old books you no longer want. Books in good condition can be bought for several dollars apiece at used-bookstores. Clothing is something everybody has, and often something we have too much of. If your wardrobe is overflowing with clothes, take a pass through and find the things that you can’t fit or aren’t in style anymore. You will get the best price for clothing that doesn’t have holes, stains, or wear-and-tear. If your library is full of music rather than books, consider selling some of your CDs. CDs with their cases intact and without scratches or blemish can be sold for a few dollars each. Find a local music or record store in your area and see if they buy used CDs. If gaming is your thing, try sorting through all your old video games. Many video game stores will take your used games if they are brought without any scratches or blemishes in the original case. Although you may only get a fraction of the price you originally bought the games for, making a few dollars on something you no longer use is better than nothing. Try taking miscellaneous things to a local pawnshop. This allows you to resell anything from a blender you never used to your old motorcycle jacket. If you would rather be responsible for selling what you own instead of taking it to a store, consider having a garage sale or advertising your items online. Although these involve much more planning than simply making a drop-off at your favorite secondhand store, you can make much more money by doing the work yourself.  Throw your own yard or garage sale. At most, you can expect a brand-new item to sell for 50% of its original price, but you will be making money back on something...

Even if you have a filter, you need to switch out some of the water. Each week, change 20% of the water in the tank. Siphon the water from the bottom of the tank to help remove debris. Replace the same amount of water that you took out with dechlorinated water. If you don't have a filter, you need to switch the water every day or two. Newts are not pets that you take out and hold, but you may find that you need to hold it for some reason. If you use your hands, make sure to wash them well with soap first and rinse them extremely well, making sure all soap is off your hands. Wash your hands immediately with soap and warm water after handling your newt.  Never eat food from your hands or touch your face after handling any newt without washing your hands. Never grab a newt by the tail. Lift it underneath its belly with a cupped hand instead. It's not a good idea to handle your newt while standing, unless your hands are over its tank.  Sometimes newts will jump or wiggle unexpectedly and a fall to the ground can be disastrous. Newts can be fed live or frozen foods. They don't need to be fed every day, but can be fed every other day. You can feed your aquatic newt the following foods:  Frozen or fresh brine shrimp. Worms, like earthworms, white worms, black worms, bloodworms,  phoenix worms, mealworms, leaf worms, red wigglers, or nightcrawlers. Daphnias, flightless fruit flies, and crickets. If you are feeding your newt live insects, you can keep them in a container. Worms generally come in containers with dirt that they can live in for around seven to ten days. For other insects, you can keep them in a jar with small holes punched in the lid for ventilation. A clean tank helps your newt stay healthy and live longer. You should do a full tank cleaning every one to two weeks. Place your newt in a container filled with dechlorinated water while you clean the tank. Scrub with water, or if something is really dirty, soap and water. Make sure to rinse the soap away completely before placing your newt back inside. ...

TL;DR in English: Change part of the water in the aquarium each week. Handle your newt properly. Feed your newt the proper food. Clean the tank regularly.

This will be the most important (and possibly the only) tool you’ll need to cut carpet. A standard utility knife is preferable, though something like an X-Acto knife or razor can also do the trick. Whatever you use, make sure the edge is nice and sharp.  If you’re using a utility knife with a removable blade, take a minute to insert a new one before you get started. You might also use a handheld electric carpet cutting tool. These tools feature durable edges and automated cutting action, which can help you sidestep the difficulty of doing it manually. Grip the knife in your dominant hand so that the angled edge of the blade is pointing away from you. Point the blade downward and touch the tip to your starting point on the carpet. Then, press down just enough to pierce the carpet’s tough backing.  Cutting carpet is mostly a matter of getting through the backing, which is the hard, flat side that lays flush against the floor. Don’t jam the blade into the carpet too deeply. You might blunt or break your knife, or even mark up the underlying flooring. Once you’ve got the tip through the carpet, pull back on the knife using a slow, smooth motion. You should be able to feel the backing give way beneath the blade. Use a straightedge to guide your movements, and pause every two or three feet to reposition before you continue cutting.  Keep your wrist fixed to avoid making sloppy or uneven cuts. If you don’t have the benefit of a straightedge, try feeling for one of the seams in the underside of the backing. Following a seam will help you make straight, steady cuts. Your original blade will quickly lose its edge after slicing through multiple feet of tough backing material. To keep the project moving along, be sure to have a new blade on standby. Working with a dull blade will only slow you down. It may seem like a hassle to have to keep stopping to change blades, but it will save you considerable time and labor in the long run.

TL;DR in English: Start with a sharp knife. Place the tip of the knife against the carpet. Drag the blade along in a straight line. Replace your knife blade as needed.

When you have an idea of your budget, criteria and where you want to start looking, it’s time to begin trawling through the online listings. If you are not already based in London, this is the most practical and easy way to see what properties are available where, and at what price. There are many big properties websites that collect postings from numerous Estate Agents and independent landlords, such as RightMove and Zoopla.  You can also look through the online listings of specific Estate Agents. Bear in mind that good properties go very quickly in London, and you shouldn’t rely solely on websites.  Emailing a response to a listing on a website doesn’t mean that your email will be read or acted on. If you find somewhere you like the look of, be sure to phone up the agent directly. If you are in the area, local newspapers and magazines can be good sources for rental listings. Keep in mind that the rental market moves so quickly in London, that desirable properties can go quickly. If you see something you are interested in, be sure to contact the vendor quickly to arrange a viewing. A good and time-efficient way to find properties is to visit a local Estate Agents in person. If you know what you want you are looking for, being able to talk to somebody face-to-face can be the best way to discover what is available. Building a relationship with an Estate Agent may also help you receive notifications about new properties that fit your criteria before they are listed online.  You should understand that there are usually significant fees for working with an Estate Agent. If you are uncertain, find out the fees before you start booking in any viewings. An alternative to working with an Estate Agent is dealing with a private landlord. This can be a riskier option, but it can also be cheaper and more flexible. Private landlords advertise their rooms on websites such as Gumtree and SpareRoom, and will generally not apply the agency fees that an Estate Agent would.  If you are just looking for a room in an existing...

TL;DR in English: Search for online listings. Look in local newspapers and magazines. Visit an Estate Agents. Contact independent landlords.

Needle size is measured in ‘gauges’. The gauge of a needle is inversely proportional to its diameter, so the lower the gauge, the bigger the needle. For instance, a calf's skin is thinner than that of an adult cow, so a finer and higher gauge needle can be used instead. Use the finest gauge possible to make sure that the cow feels as little pain as possible, but not so fine that risk of breaking the needle is significant.  To give an injection to a calf weighing less than 500 pounds, an 18-20 gauge (g) needle with a 1 inch (2.5 cm) length is ideal. For larger animals weighing over 500 pounds, you will need a 16-18 g needle with of 1 ½ inch length. Breed can also play a part on determining needle gauge. Black Angus cattle tend to have thinner hides than Herefords, for instance, so you won't need a 16 g needle to pierce the thinner hide of an Angus cow, versus the thicker one of a Hereford. You will need a shorter needle for subcutaneous injections, and a longer needle for intramuscular and intravenous injections.  You won't need a needle longer than 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm), for SQ injections because you only need to penetrate the skin. For IM and IV injections, needles that are around 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) or more are best. It is acceptable to use the same needle for up to 15 injections as long as it remains sharp and straight. Always change to a new needle when drawing from a different bottle of medication because using the old needle may introduce contamination. Never attempt to straighten a bent or burred needle because it is much more likely to break on you or break off in the process of injection. Burred needles are also to never be straightened, but simply tossed into a bio-hazard bin.

You'll need an Internet source (e.g., a router) into which you can plug each individual computer, as well as Ethernet cables to connect the computers to the Internet source.  Most standard routers only come with a few Ethernet ports, but you can buy network hubs that support upward of 10 connections. Make sure that you know the approximate distance from each computer to the Internet source. You'll need Ethernet cables that can span this distance. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the "Internet" port on the back of the modem, then connect the other end of the cable to the "Internet" or "Ethernet" port on your Internet source. You'll also need to plug in the Internet source's power cable before proceeding. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to the square Ethernet port on your computer, then attach the other end of the cable to the Internet source.  Typically speaking, you'll use iMac computers for a network. This means that you'll find the Ethernet port on the back of the iMac's monitor. If you're using Mac laptops for your network, you'll need to buy a USB-C network adapter for your computer and then plug it into one of the USB-C slots on the side of your Mac, since Mac laptops no longer include Ethernet ports. Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear. It's near the top of the drop-down menu. You'll find this blue folder-shaped icon in the middle of the System Preferences window. It's on the left side of the page. This will ensure that you can share files from your computer to other computers on the network. You can check any other file sharing options that you want to use for your network here as well. Your changes will be saved; the current computer is now set up for network sharing. Each computer that's connected to your Internet source will need file sharing to be enabled. Once you've completed this process, your wired network will be ready to use.

TL;DR in English: Make sure that you have the necessary hardware. Set up the Internet source. Plug each computer into the Internet source. Open the Apple menu . Click System Preferences…. Click Sharing. Check the "File Sharing" box. Close the System Preferences window. Enable file sharing on the other network computers.

To turn off the electricity, go to the fuse box in your home. It is usually on the bottom floor or in the basement. Find the switch that corresponds to the room with the disposal unit and flip the switch to off.  The switches should be labeled, but you can test the room for an electrical current by plugging something into a wall outlet and attempting to turn it on. Another way to do this is to flip the light switch near the disposal unit. This only works if the switch controls the electrical outlet the unit is plugged into. Check by listening to the unit for humming. Get a flashlight and shine it into the sink drain and garbage disposal. Shine the light over the unit’s outer edge, since this is where blockages typically happen. Find the small teeth of the disposal’s blades on the outer edge and look for anything obstructing them. For safety, avoid sticking your hand into the disposal unit. Instead, get a pair of kitchen tongs or pliers from your toolbox. Stick them down through the sink and into the disposal unit. Use them to break away any blockages you notice. Instead of using the Allen wrench, get a garbage disposal wrench. It looks like a claw with 2 prongs on 1 end. Stick the prongs down the drain until they’re around the unit’s blades. Spin the blades counterclockwise, then clockwise, until they rotate freely. Spinning the blades this way requires a lot of force. Keep turning the wrench back and forth until the blades loosen. Pull the wrench out of the drain. Plug the unit into the outlet, then restore the electrical current to the room. Turn on the disposal to give it a test run. If the garbage disposal still doesn’t work after all these treatments, it most likely needs to be replaced.

TL;DR in English: Turn off the room’s electrical supply. Look down through the sink drain for any blockages. Remove blockages with tongs or pliers. Spin the blades with a special garbage disposal wrench if they are still stuck. Remove the wrench and turn on the disposal.

Not all of us have to be glued to our inbox, as many messages aren’t actually as time sensitive as we may think. If you work in a job that doesn’t require immediate email follow-up, check your email at scheduled times only about three to four times per day. Use filing folders and flags to your advantage instead of letting messages pile up in your inbox. Folders and subfolders in Outlook, for example, or Gmail’s labels and multiple inboxes can be an asset. If you’re a journalist, for example, your folders might be called Current Stories, Future Stories, Old Stories, Interviews & Sources, and Pitches & Ideas. Delete and archive. Archive important, old correspondence, and delete the rest. In the example above, "Old Stories" is the journalist's archive folder. Once you start deleting old emails, you’ll be surprised at how many emails are more worthy of the trashcan than the filing cabinet. Some people also swear by “inbox zero,” which means having zero unread emails (or zero emails in your inbox, period). In addition to using folders and labels, you can achieve inbox zero by using your archive feature, deleting old emails during downtime, and using email decluttering apps. Sometimes a quick phone call can do the work of 10 back-and-forth emails. If so, make the call! If you know an email exchange merits a discussion or will involve considerable back-and-forth, sometimes it’s better to have a phone call. You will often get more detail over the phone, while you and the other party to the discussion avoid drafting lengthy, time-consuming emails. You might even email a colleague and say, “I have a lot of questions for you on this. Maybe a call would be easier. Can I ring you in 5?” While strategic breaks are helpful, interruptions during your work times are not. Interruptions can slow you down, break up your work rhythm, and make you lose your train of thought. So, try using away messages and voicemail when you know you’ll be too busy. These tools aren’t just for when you’re not physically in the office; they can be...

TL;DR in English: Check email at scheduled times. File emails. Employ other forms of communication when more efficient. Limit interruptions. Utilize the cloud. Use bookmarks online.

Depending on the style of chore chart you're making, these may vary, but having all your supplies on hand will help speed you through your chore chart creation. For the purposes of offering a guided example, the following chore chart uses a dry erase board and markers. The first column will be where you write down chore names, so you'll need it to be wider than the rest. The seven columns to the right will be where the chore-doer marks whether the chore has been finished or not. These seven columns can be much smaller than your first. If you have five chores, you should have at least six rows. The topmost row will be for days of the week, so you'll need one more row than your number of chores. Do so from the upper left of the box to its lower right corner. In the bottom left triangle, write "Chores" to indicate the left column is for chores. In the upper right triangle, write "Days" to indicate the top row is for days. This way there won't be any confusion, and your chart will look tidy and complete. Skipping the upper left hand box, write out the chores in the leftmost column of your chart. You might also want to include special information here. For example, for bi-weekly chores you might put "Bi-weekly" in parentheses below the listed chore. In the topmost row, skipping again the upper leftmost box, write the days of the week. If you don't have enough room in your top row to write out the entire name of each day of the week, use simple abbreviations, like: M, T, W, TH, F, S, SU This can be as simple as marking a chore complete with a check mark in the appropriate column when it's done. However, if you want to do the marking yourself to keep the chore doer honest, you can use the same procedure when you are informed the chore is complete.  For example, when the chore doer's bed is made, you'll put a check mark in the box to the right of "Make Bed" in the corresponding column for the day of the week. For children especially resistant to chores, you may want to do a brief inspecting of the work before you...

Ultimately, a majority of your co-workers will need to vote to establish a union. By talking to your co-workers, you can gauge whether your fellow employees are likely to support a union election. Talking is also the best way to find out what changes your co-workers would like to see, and for you to share your ideas about how unionization can effectuate those changes.  Keep your discussions quiet and private. Although the National Labor Relations Act guarantees the right to discuss union membership during non- work time in non work areas (like an employee lounge), keeping these discussions discreet helps avoid conflict between the management and pro-union employees. Your co-workers must find you to be trustworthy and competent, so study up on union issues, like federal and state labor law, the benefits of unions, and common employer tactics used to discourage organization. When a co-worker has a question or challenges your position, you should ready to answer quickly and confidently. To successfully organize, you must inspire and persuade you peers to follow your leadership. There may already be a union you can join that represents your industry. These organizations can guide you through the process of organizing a union at your workplace. Most U.S. labor organizations are organized under the American Federation of Labor - Congress of Industrial Organizations or the Change to Win Federation. There are also independent unions that are not affiliated with either umbrella organization, such as the International Longshore & Warehouse Union, United Electrical Workers, and Industrial Workers of the World. You can also locate local unions by searching online or in the phone book under "Labor Organizations." Keep in mind that the name of the union doesn't matter; meat packers commonly belong to the United Steel Workers. Contact your local unions to find out what industries they represent. If you and your co-workers decide that you would like to organize under an existing union, contact a union organizer at a...

Find a photograph of a natural scene that you like, or look out the window and draw what you see. When you're drawing a landscape, it's often helpful to have some sort of reference to help you get your proportions right, especially when you're first starting out. The line that divides the ground and sky in a landscape picture is called the horizon line. Lightly sketch this line wherever you want your horizon to fall. Keep in mind that if your horizon features mountains, treetops, buildings, or other raised elements, it may not be a perfectly straight line.  According to the Rule of Thirds, your picture will be more visually interesting if you place the horizon line a third of the way up from the bottom or a third of the way down from the top of the page.  If you draw your horizon further up the page, the viewer will see more of the ground, and if you draw it further down, they'll see more of the sky. In a typical landscape picture, the paper is turned so it is wide, rather than tall. To make your landscape drawing seem interesting, add some eye-catching object for the viewer to look at. This might be a tree, a building, some interesting rocks alongside a stream, a barn, a waterfall, a bench, a person, or anything else you can think of. Typically, the focal point is the largest element in a painting, although it may also be an object that stands out because of its color or contrast.  For instance, a small patch of bright yellow flowers at the base of a stream would likely catch the viewers' eye if the rest of the colors in the painting are more sedate. A large shrub in the foreground of a painting could act as a focal point, as could a towering mountain in the background. It's helpful to try to find a reference photo or a natural angle with a focal point already included. However, you may need to select just a portion of a larger picture to make it interesting. For instance, you might focus your drawing on an area with an old tree, rather than trying to capture a whole park. When you're creating your drawing,...

TL;DR in English: Use a reference photo or your own personal view. Draw a horizontal line across your page for the horizon. Add a focal point in your picture. Use perspective to maintain your proportions. Simplify the details in your drawing.

To blend in better in social situations, try observing, rather than taking action. Observe how others around you socialize and communicate. You can then hang out and simply watch, rather than participate, in conversations. When you are observing others, you may also notice how certain groups socialize with each other. You may then try to socialize with them in the same way to blend in better with their social group. If you are a tourist in a foreign country trying to blend in, you should try to adopt the customs and practices of the locals. You can also mimic others to try to blend in with social groups at work, chatting about accepted topics of discussion and speaking in a similar tone of voice as everyone else. As a tourist in a foreign country, you can also blend in by learning some of the local language and customs. Speaking with locals in their own language or acting like locals act in general will help you blend in better. Modulate your voice to fit the tone and volume of those around you. This way, you can blend into the existing environment and not startle or freak out others.  In an office environment, this may mean keeping your voice low and unassuming when you speak. You may take on a gentle, low tone so you can blend into conversations going on around you or the quieter sounds of an office. In a foreign country, you should also be aware of the volume and tone of your voice. You do not want to be the tourist laughing and chatting loudly in a quiet local cafe. Try to adopt a tone of voice that mimics the locals around you and that allows you to blend in rather than stand out. Let others dominate the conversation and speak up every now and then to ask thoughtful questions that help keep the conversation going. This way, you are participating in the conversation but not drawing undue attention to yourself.  For example, maybe you are joining an ongoing conversation at the office. Your co-workers may be discussing their weekends. Let them both share and ask questions like, “Do you go to the lake...

TL;DR in English: Observe others, rather than take action. Mimic the customs and practices of others. Keep your voice low and unassuming. Ask thoughtful questions.

By now, you’ve probably heard the advice that you should roll your clothes when you pack a suitcase. Your drawers at home aren’t any different. Rolling takes up less space and it also prevents wrinkles and creases when done correctly. Make your rolls slowly and get them nice and tight in order to prevent wrinkles. The exception here is if you have clothes with natural creases in them. Creased pants, for example, should probably be folded in the traditional way, although they are really best kept in a closet. If you do fold your clothes, use a shirt board when you fold them. This is a board like a clipboard or even a piece of cardboard which you fold your shirt or pants around. Place the board at the top center of a shirt, just at the collar. Pull the left sleeve over toward the right, until it creases at the side of the board, and then repeat for the right. Tuck the sleeves as needed and then fold up the bottom hem. Pants are simply folded in half and then wrapped around the board.  You can remove the board (as is more traditional), but if you used cheap cardboard, you can leave the board in the shirt or pants. This makes it faster to sort through the items or even store them vertically, like the bagged dress shirts at a department store. To make your own shirt board, cut a piece of thick cardboard to about 15” by 18”. It should be just about the same size that a shirt is once folded into a “store style” rectangle. When you put items into your drawers, don’t stack them. This is the traditional way to place items in a drawer, but it makes it very easy to wrinkle them and makes it hard to find the item that you want. Instead of stacking, “file” your items. Place clothes in upright rolls, side rolls, or folded with a shirt board and kept like actual files. You can even use a file organizer in your drawers to help keep items upright. If you have bras to store in your dresser, be sure to nest them. This means placing the curve of the cup into the curve of the cup of the next bra. This will not only save space and...

How you pack the food is an important part of preventing the spread of contaminants from one food to another.  Pack all meats separately from ready-to-eat foods. Juices from the meat could spoil food like cheese and vegetables, so be sure to wrap securely. Pack dairy produce on its own, inside a cooler. When you bring food back home, discard any food that has come into contact with other food; this includes shared dishes that have had forks and the like stuck into them, as you have no idea what guests had on their utensils. Anytime you touch raw meat clean your hands before touching food, both for preparation and for serving. Clean them again after touching the food.  Use moist towelettes thoroughly to make sure that you don't transmit germs or bacteria onto other foods or utensils. Provide plenty of spare towelettes and antibacterial cleanser for guests to use too––place in an obvious spot. Wipe down everything before you serve. Use only clean utensils for serving and eating with. This doesn't mean buying it from the pricey vendors; it means stopping at the nearest supermarket before you enter the tailgate party, stocking up and placing the foods into the appropriate containers at the supermarket carpark. If you can reduce the travel time for the food, so much the better.  Avoid purchasing more than what will be eaten––that way, there will be no temptation to hoard leftovers and eat them later, when they have turned bad. Take your cooler bag into the supermarket. Place food items straight into it from the refrigerator shelf, then open it at the cashier for purchase and ask that it be repacked straight back into the cooler. When grilling, only remove the amount of meat that can fit on the grill. Leave the rest in the cooler until it's time to cook the next round. After grilling food, serve immediately. Anything that is not eaten straight away should be kept hot or placed into a cooler.  Grilled food left outside for more than hour should be discarded.

Are you even aware of your innate need to fix or control others? Some people reading this may be in denial of a savior complex. By taking a closer look into your relationships with others, you can see a pattern of compulsive helping.  Have you stayed in a relationship in which you were unhappy because you thought the other person needed you? Do you find yourself frequently worrying about others and their problems? Do you feel guilty when others help or give to you? Are you uncomfortable letting others experience negative emotions, so you quickly try to resolve the problem? Do you exit unhealthy relationships only to find yourself connecting with similar people as your past partners?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may want to visit a therapist. A therapist can help you determine if these are unhealthy behaviors for you. You may not realize that in your attempt to fix everyone around you, you have left yourself starving emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. Perform a self-assessment to look closer at areas of personal need. You may find that you have been projecting your own shortcomings onto those around you.    Identify your personal values. What beliefs, ideas, and principles drive your decisions and goals? Have you been living according to your values? Examine your  emotional intelligence. Are you able to recognize your emotions and effectively express them? Take a look at your  self-worth. Is your self-esteem connected to how much others value or need you? The compulsive need to rescue or help others is often rooted in your childhood. Researchers believe those who suffer from a savior complex or white knight syndrome are trying to fix some negative sense of themselves that arose in early life. Low self-esteem, abuse, or neglect may have contributed to this complex. You may choose friends or partners who are going through distress similar to that which you experienced in childhood.  Awareness is the first step in being able to repair a damaged sense of self. Take notice of the...

If your itching doesn’t subside after a week or you become very uncomfortable, see your doctor. The doctor may prescribe oral medications, steroid creams, or light therapy for your itching. See your doctor if: you're so uncomfortable that it disrupts your sleep or ability to function daily, your skin is painful, self-care and home remedies haven’t worked, or you suspect your skin is infected. Applying a calamine lotion or non-prescription anti-itch cream can relieve the symptoms of itching. You can purchase these creams at grocery and drug stores both in-store and online.  A nonprescription anti-itch, or hydrocortisone, cream, can help relieve itching. Make sure to purchase a cream with at least 1% hydrocortisone.  Look for anti-itch creams that contain camphor, menthol, phenol, pramoxine and benzocaine Apply these creams to your hands and feet before you moisturize your skin. Your doctor may also suggest applying the cream to the affected area and then covering it with a moist bandage to help your skin absorb the cream more effectively.  Follow the specific product instructions for how often you can use the cream on your skin. These drugs can neutralize allergens and help relieve itching and skin inflammation. There are many different over the counter antihistamines that are available at drug and grocery stores both in store and online.  Chlorpheniramine is available in 2mg and 4mg. You can take 4mg every 4 to 6 hours. Don’t exceed 24mg per day. Diphenhydramine is Available in 25mg and 50mg. You can take 25mg every 4 to 6 hours. Don’t exceed 300mg per day. These drugs often have the added benefit of sedative effects, which can help if you are having trouble sleeping. There is evidence that selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, may help relieve pruritis. Talk to your doctor about this option if other treatments aren’t working. Common SSRIs used to treat skin itching are fluoxetine and sertraline. When the itching is not relieved by applying an over the counter topical corticosteroid, your doctor...

Get a beauty blender or similar tool, like a makeup sponge, slightly damp. Tap the blender across your face in small, circular motions. Use the rounded edge of the sponge for areas like your cheeks and forehead. For areas like your nose, squeeze the brush between your hands to flatten it as you tap the makeup to blend. Do not rush the process. It can take awhile to blend contour lines so they look natural. Going too fast may obscure your lines, undoing your work. A translucent powder or foundation can help your contour lines stay intact for the rest of the day. After everything is blended, dip a fluffy brush in a small amount of powder. Gently dust a light layer of the powder across your face to set your look. Apply a small amount of blush to each cheek using a makeup brush. Only apply brush to the roundest portions of your cheeks as this is most flattering if you have an oblong face. Avoid shimmery blushes, as this can distract from your highlighting.

For your safety, put on nitrile gloves and place the empty gasoline container on the ground in a ventilated area -- outdoors is best. Pour the gas into the container first, followed by the water. Pour slowly to avoid splashing.  While working to separate the gasoline, make sure to use a container designed for storing gasoline, which should create a tight seal when closed. Also, don't fill the container more than 95% full, as the gasoline needs room to expand. If you try to hold the container while pouring, you can cause the vapors to ignite from static electricity.  If you want, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the water first to make it easier to see the layers of water/ethanol and gasoline when you're done. Place the cap on the container, ensuring it's tightly sealed. Shake the mixture together thoroughly. You want to shake it for a good 15 to 30 seconds to make sure the water and gasoline are thoroughly incorporated. Do not be anywhere near an open flame when performing this maneuver. Vapors can ignite. Once you shake the mixture, pour it into the Ethanator to sit. When the water has settled out, use the valve at the bottom of the bottle to drain off the water and the ethanol into a container.  When you're done, remove your gloves, and wash your hands thoroughly.  You'll need to leave the mixture to settle for at least 3 to 4 hours, but you may want to leave it overnight or as long as 12 hours. Once the mixture is ready, it will be perfectly clear without cloudiness, and you'll see 2 distinct layers. The gasoline will settle on top and the water and ethanol mixture will settle on the bottom. If you don't have an Ethanator, you can carefully pour the ethanol-free gasoline layer into another fuel-safe container, after it's been left to separate for several hours. Tip the container over another one to pour off the gasoline. This will be easier to do if you added the food coloring to the water, as you'll be able to see the layers better. This method probably won't be quite as easy or as safe as the...

Don’t assume that you need to be invited. Go if doing so will bring comfort to the bereaved. Stay away if you think you will cause pain for the bereaved.

Turn off the power to the circuit. Remove covers and panels as necessary to gain access to the circuits that contain the transformer. Acquire a digital multimeter (DMM) to take the voltage readings. DMMs are available at electrical supply stores, hardware stores, and hobby shops. Generally, you'll need to attach the leads of your DMM to the input lines to verify that the primary of the transformer is not shorted. The same process will be used to check the transformer secondary. Apply power to the circuitry. Use the DMM in AC mode to measure the transformer primary. If the measurement is less than 80 percent of the expected voltage, the fault could lie in either the transformer or the circuitry providing the primary with power. In that case:  Separate the transformer from the input circuit. Test the input with your DMM. If the input power climbs to the expected value, the primary of the transformer is bad. If the input power does not climb to the expected value, then the problem lies not with the transformer, but with the input circuitry. If there is no filtering or shaping being performed by the secondary circuitry, use the AC mode of the DMM to read its output. If there is, use the DC scale of the DMM.  If the expected voltage is not present on the secondary, either the transformer or a filtering or shaping component is bad. Test the filtering and shaping components separately. If the testing of the filtering and shaping components show no problems, then the transformer is bad.

TL;DR in English: Prepare to measure the circuit voltages. Confirm the proper input to the transformer. Measure the secondary output of the transformer.

Remove any tape, clothespins, or rubber bands first. Sand excess glue off with a file or a craft blade. Fill in any remaining gaps with modeling or epoxy putty. Use a mini metal spatula to smooth the putty down.  Wait until the putty cures before moving on. If the putty still is not smooth, you can sand it down with a file. If you painted your model previously, you will need to paint over the putty so that it blends in. Take out the instructions that came with your kit. Read through the instructions once more, then glue the individual parts together to build the model. Remember to apply the glue or cement to both parts before pressing them together. You may have to do this in several stages by completing smaller parts first, then assembling them into larger parts. How long this takes depends on the product that you are using, so read the instructions label carefully. Most model glues and cements will have 2 drying times: a handling time and a curing time. In this case, you should refer to the curing time. If you handle your model before the glue or cement is done curing, the model may fall apart. If you didn't paint your model earlier, now is the time to do so. If you already painted your model, inspect it carefully and note any areas with chipped or scratched paint. Fill these areas in using a small brush and matching paint. Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on. How you do this depends on the brand that you are using, so read the instructions carefully. In most cases, you'll need to dip the decal in water, then set it aside for 20 seconds. After that, you'll slide the decal off with tweezers, and place it onto the model. Trim the decals down with scissors before you begin. This will make them easier to work with and reduce seams and borders.

TL;DR in English: Fill in the gaps or sand off the excess glue. Assemble the parts to complete your model. Wait for the glue to dry and cure. Paint the model, if needed, or make any touch-ups. Apply any decals, if needed.

When you hear about a concert you're interested in, check ticket availability. Many popular concerts may sell out before you get a chance to buy your tickets.  Don't assume it is sold out until you are told so by the venue Talk to people with similar music interests as you. They are likely to know about upcoming shows. Venues often release "hold" tickets a day or two before the show. These are tickets the band or promoter has "held back" and must be offered for sale if not used. Keep checking back. Bands that are growing in popularity may still be playing smaller venues. Although this is a great time to see them you should plan on getting your tickets early as possible.

TL;DR in English: Begin by signing up for online newsletters and Facebook pages of bands which you would like to see in concert as well as local venues. Visit their websites often to see new dates or itinerary changes. Look for the ticket release dates.

Wakes typically are open to anyone who knew the deceased, even just a little, or who is just close to some of the bereaved. Keep a lookout for information in published obituaries, or ask someone you know well for details on the wake. Wakes, however, can vary by tradition — some are smaller affairs, while some resemble large parties. If you’re not sure, ask someone you know. Will it bring a quick smile to someone’s face to see you there? Will they be eager to share a story or two about the deceased with you? Don’t feel like it is disrespectful to the deceased to show up at their wake when you hardly knew them. Instead, remember that it shows respect to be there as a comforting presence for the deceased’s loved ones. If you’ve had some sort of falling-out with the grieving family, or otherwise suspect that your presence will cause discomfort, it’s best for all involved that you not attend. You won’t show respect for the deceased by hurting their loved ones with your presence at the wake. Just pay your respects to the deceased privately, on your own time. If you’re not sure, talk to a family member of the deceased with whom you’ve maintained a good relationship.

TL;DR in English:


Place the pork shoulder pieces in the dutch oven. Cook them on one side until they get brown, then use tongs to turn them over and brown the other side.

Do a service. Walk dogs. If you have elderly people around your neighborhood you could mow their lawn for them and even help grocery shop or water their flowers. Offer to buy groceries/pick up mail.

A little tingling is normal, but if your skin starts to burn, get the cream off your skin immediately. Some companies include a spatula to help scrape off the product; use the spatula or a soft cloth to wipe the cream off your skin. Don't scrub your skin or use anything rough or abrasive (like a loofah or exfoliating glove) to remove the cream. You don't want to scratch yourself or irritate your skin further. You probably want to hop in the shower to do this so you can have a steady stream of water flowing over the rash. Make sure you are rinsing off any cream that may still be on your body, including the residue.  Do not use soap, body wash or any other product to cleanse the area as you rinse your body. Gently pat your skin dry after rinsing. You may have a chemical burn and need professional treatment. If the rash is on your face, around your eyes, or genitals, contact your physician for assistance.

TL;DR in English: Wipe off the cream as soon as you notice a reaction. Run cold water over the area for 10 minutes. Seek emergency treatment if you feel dizzy, experience severe burning or numbness, or have open or weeping spots around your hair follicle.

Place a heavy dutch oven on the stove. Put a few teaspoons of oil in the dutch oven and turn the burner to medium high. When the oil is hot, put the pork shoulder pieces in the dutch oven. Cook them on one side until they get brown, then use tongs to turn them over and brown the other side.  Don't cook the pieces too long. You don't want to cook them through, just enough to bring out the flavor in the meat. Remove the dutch oven from heat when you're finished. Arrange them around the meat pieces so that they make contact with the bottom of the pot. Pour in an inch or two of water and cover the pot. Place the pot in the oven and let the carnitas cook for 4 hours. Check the pot a few times during the course of cooking to make sure the meat isn't drying out or burning. Remove the dutch oven from the oven when the carnitas are meltingly soft when poked with a fork.  If you'd prefer to cook the carnitas in a slow cooker, transfer the meat and vegetables to a slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 8 hours. If the carnitas look like they could use some moisture during the course of cooking, add 1/2 cup of water. Don't remove the carnitas until they are completely tender; cooking the carnitas for a shorter period of time will leave you with tough meat.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brown the pork shoulder. Add the vegetables to the pot. Cook the carnitas.

Fold two corners that are next to each other up so that they meet in the center of the wrapper, which should also be the center of the filling blob. Press the corners to seal together, and press along the edges that have met together. Press the corner into the other two joined corners and press the side of the wrapper together where the edge of the new fold meets the edge of the previous fold. Press and seal the corner into the other corners before pressing and sealing together the remaining open sides. You should be left with a completely sealed pouch.

TL;DR in English: Bring to adjacent corners together. Fold a third corner up to the same point. Fold the final corner up to the same point.

Is it summer? Mow lawns for green. Is it fall? Rake leaves for coin. Is it winter? Shovel snow for dough. Is it spring? Water plants and create gardens for money. You can walk the neighbors dog for a low price, that way they are more likely to use you than the more expensive dog walkers. Do it a few times a week. Charge a few dollars. Take the dog out for at least 20 minutes, and take some baggies with you. Elderly people often give big money for your great services. If you're going to buy groceries for people, buy only what they told you to and nothing else. You will be eventually found out, even if you are the most discreet person in the world. Don't shoplift either; it's illegal and you may end up in jail. As for picking up mail, close up for the day if the weather forecast is bad. It can be dangerous to be outside when it is snowing a blizzard or thundering. Make sure you dress properly and in layers if it's cold.

TL;DR in English:


Get at least 8 hours of sleep nightly. Exercise with weights regularly. Eat foods containing androstenone and androstenol.

Since police only investigate complaints that violate state law, studying the elements of criminal fraud in your state can help you figure out what information you need to file a complete report.  Although the specific requirements and wording vary among states, criminal fraud typically includes the same basic elements. Generally, the person must misrepresent an important fact knowing that what they're saying is false, with the intent to deceive you into giving them money or property.  Also keep in mind that you must have suffered some actual loss to be a victim of fraud. If you see a listing and recognize it as fraudulent, you can still report it – but the person typically can't be found guilty of fraud unless someone has actually fallen for their scam. However, they possibly could be prosecuted for attempted fraud. You will need information about the other user and details about the transaction so the police are able to conduct an investigation.  Using your knowledge from your legal research, focus on any documents or statements from the user that might indicate a criminal intent to defraud you. Keep in mind you're probably not going to find anything that proves the person knew the things they were telling you were false. You don't need to do any extensive detective work – rather, you should leave this work up to the police. Just focus on making sure you get the details about the transaction down along with any correspondence you've had with the user. Once you have all your information together, call or stop by the nearest police precinct to submit your report.  Keep in mind that typically the police in the town and state where the perpetrator is located will be primarily responsible for investigating the activity. However, if you submit your report to your local authorities they will be able to transfer information if necessary. Some police departments have online forms you can fill out to submit a report. You can find the appropriate contact information for your local law enforcement agency by visiting...

TL;DR in English: Research your state's law. Gather information about the incident. File your report with the police department. Cooperate with any further investigation.

Don't expect your siblings to read your mind. Let them know ahead of time how they can respect your space and your belongings. Tell them in person, or post a sign.  For example, if you buy special coffee, you may decide that you don't want other people drinking it. Ask your siblings to get your permission before using your special coffee. You can also ask them to respect your personal space and free time. You might say, "When I come home from school, I need 30 minutes to relax on my own. Please don't bother me during this time." If a fight does erupt, try to remain calm. Yelling or whining won't help you and your siblings solve the problem. Speak in a level voice, avoid accusing or blaming others, and try to focus on solving the problem.  Speak calmly and stick to the facts. If you feel yourself getting heated, ask for time out and go to another room to calm down. If the issue is minor, try to laugh it off, and walk away.  Do not bring up past conflicts in a current fight. This will only drag out grudges. Instead, focus on the issue at hand. Teasing is natural in a family relationship, but you should make sure that you never call out or make fun of an issue that your sibling is sensitive about. For example, if your sister is defensive about the way that she dresses, avoid making fun of her style. Sometimes, you may need to compromise to prevent an argument. If you and your sibling's needs or wants conflict with each other, see if you can work out a solution. Remember that compromise is a two-way street. Both of you should give a little. For example, if you both like to have 20 minutes in the bathroom but your sibling needs to use it at the same time as you, cut the time in half for each of you rather than giving up your time. Time spent together is great but so is time spent apart. If you crowd your sibling, they may feel suffocated. Instead, respect when your sibling needs time alone and time with friends. Don't touch or use your sibling's stuff without their permission. You may also want to avoid entering...

TL;DR in English: Establish your boundaries before problems arise. Handle conflict in a calm manner. Avoid teasing siblings on sensitive subjects. Learn to compromise. Give your sibling space. Avoid judging your sibling.

SEO is a collection of techniques which increase the chances of your site being high up in search results on search engines. Rather than paying for a more prominent position, the practice of SEO can drastically help increase the profile and presence of your online store. It's free and effective, but it does take a little time to understand the principles of SEO and apply them to your website. Major search engines provide guides to how they work for those wishing to optimise their results.  SEO is necessary primarily because of the ubiquity of search engines. Think about how you search for something online. Ask yourself how often you click through past the first couple of pages of results. You probably think you already have a decent idea of the key words that bring traffic to your website, but it's best not to leave any stone unturned when doing SEO. Use online tools to determine which words bring traffic to your store. There are a few different ways to measure key words.  Key word frequency refers to how often a word appears in the title or description of a website. Be aware though, if you have stuffed your site full of key words it may be judged spam. The key word weight is the number of key words in comparison to the total number of words. By having less text on a page, you can achieve a heavier key word weight. The positioning of words in relation to each other is known as key word proximity. For example, if you are selling "black socks", you will outrank someone selling "black cotton socks" if the search term is "black socks". Having your key words high up on a page and prominent in headings and the first paragraph of text gives you a good key word prominence score. Similarly, having the words in titles or links can equal good key word placement. Once you have a clear picture of the best key words for driving traffic to your site, and how to include them in your web copy and site design it's time to put this into practice. Give your website a thorough audit revising main sections to make sure they are...

TL;DR in English: Understand search engine optimisation (SEO). Find out the popular key words for your area of business. Include key words in your web copy.

Stay well rested by sleeping 7-9 hours a night. This may help boost your pheromone levels. Try these techniques to get good shut eye and stay on a healthy sleep schedule:  Set a regular bedtime for yourself. Exercise regularly (but not within 3 hours of bedtime so it doesn’t keep you up). Avoid caffeine after 4pm. Relax before bed with a warm bath or reading. Don’t nap too much during the day. Sleep in a cool, dark room. Stick to a regular exercise routine that includes weight-lifting. Target large muscle groups and lift heavier weights for fewer repetitions. Increasing your testosterone may have a boosting effect on pheromones.  It’s also possible, however, that pheromones increase testosterone, and not the other way around. These two chemicals are considered human pheromones, and it’s possible that eating foods that contain them may boost yours – or at least increase your arousal, which then triggers more chemical signals that may make you more appealing to potential partners. This has not been proven scientifically, but there’s no harm in trying these three foods:  Celery Parsnips Truffles

TL;DR in English:


Feel what you are feeling. Name your recurring bad thoughts. Let go of anger, grudges, and resentment. Speak to a therapist.

One series of the HPV vaccine provides safe, long-lasting protection against many of the HPV strains that cause cancer (but not all). Because the vaccine is much more effective on young people, the Center for Disease Control recommends it for the following men:  All men 21 or younger (ideally at age 11 or 12 before sexual activity) All men who have sex with men at the age of 26 or younger All men with a compromised immune system age 26 or younger (including HIV positive men) Tell the provider about any severe allergies you have before getting the vaccine, especially to latex or yeast. . Genital warts may go away on their own after a few months, and will never lead to cancer. The main reason to treat them is your own comfort. Treatments include creams or ointments (such as Podofilox, Imiquimod, or Sinecatechins) which you can apply at home, or removal at the doctor's office by freezing (cryotherapy), acid, or surgery. A doctor can also apply vinegar to illuminate warts that aren't yet raised or visible.  You can transmit HPV even if you don't have symptoms, but the chances are higher while you have genital warts. Talk to your sexual partners about this risk, and cover the warts with condoms or other barriers if possible. Although the strains of HPV that cause genital warts do not cause cancer, you may have been exposed to more than one strain. You should still talk to your doctor if you have noticed any possible cancer signs or unexplained symptoms. HPV-related anal cancer rates are much higher among men who have sex with men. If you fall into this category, tell your doctor about your sexual orientation, and ask about the anal pap smear test. Your doctor may recommend a test every three years (one year if you are HIV positive) to screen for anal cancer.  Not all doctors agree that a regular screening is necessary or helpful, but they should still educate you about the test and allow you to make your own decision. If your doctor does not offer this service or cannot tell you about it, seek a second opinion. If...

TL;DR in English: Consider a vaccine. Treat genital warts Ask about anal cancer screening if you have sex with men. Examine yourself regularly. Discuss possible cancer symptoms with the doctor.

When you first hop onto Tinder, you're probably not thinking of anything related to your driving time. Once you get established though, you might have a fleeting thought along the lines of "I don't mind driving a lot!"  Be honest with yourself. 50 miles for a most likely mediocre date is a lot. I'm talking about 1 1/2 hours of driving to get coffee with someone who owns more cats than bars of soap. Don't do it; it's not worth it; you're better than that. It's important that when you're setting up your profile, you take a minute to think about how far you're willing to drive. If you're younger, consider the other person might not have a car (meaning you're driving the whole way. Or they are). A five-mile max distance means that any user who fits your age and gender will show up. If you set it to 1 mile, then Tinder will show you people within a 1-mile radius from where you are at that time.  When you change location, then you are moving the center of the radius and will find different people. One reason people change their distance radius is to get more opportunities because they've already seen most of the people closer to them. The default is 50 miles. If you’re in a major city, you might want to reduce it to 15 miles; choose a longer distance if you live in a less populated area.

TL;DR in English: Consider how far you’re willing to drive to meet someone. Set the radius higher to get more matches.

Accept the grief, sadness, loneliness, regret, anxiety, guilt, insecurity, or other negative emotions in the order they come to you. Let yourself be sad, and let yourself heal. Ultimately, the surest path to getting over someone is to be honest with yourself. Don't bottle up your emotions. Ask your support system for advice, and try to understand what went wrong. If you aren't sure what to do next, these people may have the wisdom and insight to guide you.  Talk to parents, older siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents – anyone that you feel comfortable asking for insight. You may even feel comfortable asking a favorite teacher or a leader in your community. Be careful who you trust. If you are spilling your guts to someone for whom your crush is a mutual friend, make sure that this person won't pass along what you say. It may be harder to get over the guy if there's gossip floating around. Consider that there are hundreds of thousands—even millions—of people with whom you can fall in love. He may seem like the one, but this doesn't mean that he is the only one. Nor does it mean you'll never find someone like him again. Think about why this crush didn't work out. Maybe you were into him, but he wasn't into you; maybe he was in a relationship already, or he had eyes for someone else; maybe you said something to turn him off, or he did something that made you decide that he was bad news. Whatever the circumstances, you cannot take back what has happened. You can only absorb this, learn from it, and grow.  Think about what you would have done differently. You might be able to successfully navigate a crush situation in the future by analyzing what went wrong with this guy. Think about the sort of person that you want to pursue. Maybe this guy just wasn't right for you, even if you found yourself attracted to him. Consider which qualities will guide your future crushes, and which personality traits you want to avoid.

TL;DR in English: Embrace your feelings for him, then let them go. Talk about your feelings with a friend, a relative, or a counselor. Remind yourself that this crush is just another fish in the sea. Learn from the experience.

Welcome your emotions and learn to recognize and accept them. If you try to repress your feelings, you won't control them. They'll control you.  Get into the habit of writing through your feelings in a journal. You can analyze what is leading to what feeling, and you can also make a log to keep track of triggers. If you know what your triggers are for specific emotions, then you can do things to limit or avoid your triggers. Suppressing your feelings can give you health problems like insomnia, chronic pain, and heart disease. If you have insecurities, painful memories, or angry responses that come to you frequently, it might help to give them a name. For instance, if you always feel angry when someone cuts you off in traffic, name that feeling "The Got-Cut-Off-In-Traffic-Feeling."  When the feeling or thought is triggered, greet it by name. "Oh, it's the got-cut-off-in-traffic-feeling again." This will help you take some distance and prevent the bad thought from taking over. Forgive those who have wronged you. Forgiveness can lead to empathy and compassion for those who have betrayed you. It will make you calm and in control.  If you want, contact people you are still in touch with and let them know that you have let go of your anger. Forgiveness doesn't mean that you condone bad acts—it just means that you release the negative feelings associated with those acts. To learn to master your emotions, get a good therapist. Talk through how you feel on a weekly or bimonthly basis. Therapy will help you recognize your emotional patterns, and learn to respond wisely. If you have anger issues, consider taking anger management classes or joining an anger management group.

TL;DR in English:
