Check your dog's actual weight against the breed's ideal weight. Check the food packaging against your dog's ideal weight. Compare what you have been feeding your dog to what the recommended amount of food is. Decide how much to increase your dog's food allowance. Gradually increase the amount of food you feed your dog.

If the instructions for your eraser clay say to let them set using an oven, preheat it to the instructed time. Arrange your eraser designs on a baking sheet so they aren’t touching one another.   For most eraser clay, preheat the oven to 250° F (130° C). Bake erasers for 20 minutes per ¼ inch (6 mm) thickness.  You may want to bake smaller eraser designs separate from larger ones, as they will likely have different cooking times. Use a piece of aluminum foil or wax paper on the baking sheet to keep the erasers from sticking. Make sure children have adult supervision during this step. If the instructions for your eraser clay say to let them set using boiling water, pour water into a pot and place it on the stove. Set the water to boil, then place your eraser designs into the boiling water for a few minutes.   Make sure you have enough water in the pot to completely cover your eraser clay designs. For most eraser clay that uses this method, leave the erasers in the boiling water for 5 minutes, then turn off the burner and allow them to sit in the water as it cools.  Remove the erasers from the water safely using a slotted spoon and set them to dry on a paper towel or napkin. Use caution and have an adult present for this entire step. After setting in the oven or on the stove, let your erasers cool for a couple of hours. Then enjoy using your personalized erasers to remove any pencil marks.  Test your erasers out when they’ve cooled down. If they are too soft, you may need to set them for longer. If they are too hard, you may need to try again and set them for less time. If they are too brittle, you may want to try again with thicker shapes. Store your erasers in a container that seals tightly to make your erasers last as long as possible. They may become too dry and brittle for proper use if exposed to the air over a long period of time.

TL;DR in English: Set the erasers in the oven. Set in boiling water. Allow erasers to cool before use.

One type of 3D glasses commonly used in theaters uses polarized filters for lenses, and special projectors that polarize light. Think of the polarizing filter as a barred window: light oriented (polarized) vertically passes between the bars and reaches your eye, while light oriented horizontally can't get through the bars and gets reflected away. With the "bars" over each eye pointing in different directions, each eye picks up a different image, and your brain interprets the two images as a single 3D image. Unlike the red-blue glasses, this image can contain any number of colors. Making these glasses at home is probably more expensive than buying a pair, especially since any theater experience or TV that relies this technology probably comes with a pair of glasses. But if you're interested in the project, purchase a sheet of "linearly polarized" or "plane polarized" plastic film. Rotate the film 45º from the vertical, then cut out a lens. Rotate the film another 90º in either direction, and cut out the second lens. This is the most common design, but you may need to rotate the lens while looking at the 3D image to see what works. Just make sure to rotate both lenses at the same time, since they should always be made from film oriented exactly 90º apart. The actual explanation of polarized light is more technical than described above. Modern 3D glasses usually use circular polarized light, which doesn't require the viewer to keep his head still while watching. To make these lenses at home, you would need one sheet of counterclockwise circular polarized plastic, and one sheet of clockwise polarized plastic (also called left- and right-handed). This is more expensive than linear filters. Sometimes called "Active 3D," this technology requires advanced design that can't be copied at home. In order to send a different image to each eye (which is the cornerstone of all 3D technology), the television monitor switches rapidly between two different images, many times per second. The special glasses you wear while...

TL;DR in English: Learn about polarized glasses. Make your own polarized glasses. Understand synchronized glasses.

Men like a little makeup. They think it's hot if you use makeup to bring out the natural beauty of your eyes or to highlight the lushness of your lips. But that's the key: It has to look natural. You don't want to look too much like a tomgirl who never wears makeup, but you also shouldn't cake it on.  Use shimmer powder or lotion with shimmer in it so that your body glistens. Put it on your cleavage and shoulders.   Try using subtle fake lashes. He will be unlikely to realize what you've done differently, but beautiful eyes with lush lashes are definitely going to attract him. Men aren't fans of bright eye makeup colors like green or bright blues. A better choice if you're going out is a smoky eye. Use grays, silvers, golds, browns, and blacks to create the smoky eye look. Apply the powder under your eye, and above the eyelid. But if you do, choose a neutral lip.   Don't overuse eye liner or lip liner. Maybe try the Angelina Jolie look - black liquid liner subtly applied to the upper lid, and peachy or brown colored eye shadow, with a little black mascara. Take care of your hygiene. If you don't show that you respect yourself, why will he respect you?  Get a bikini wax. Try something different "down there" to surprise him. Regular bikini waxes might be a little painful, but they will make you more confident. Get your nails done professionally. Chipped nails aren't hot. Shave your legs and your underarms. Obvious things - but crucial. Get your eyebrows professionally shaped. Just go to any nail or beauty salon, and they will probably be able to wax them fairly cheaply. You will be surprised how grooming your brows can immediately improve your look. What you wear - on your nails, your clothing - will trigger different sensations in him depending on the colors you choose.  Think red. It will make him think you're hot.  Studies have shown that men rate women higher in attractiveness when they're wearing red, and that they're more likely to want to date them.   It's a good idea to wear no more than two colors at...

It easy to think that a pet is underweight, whereas the reality could be that he is just less heavy than an obese dog of the same breed that you happen to know. Maybe your dog is actually fine, but it's the other dog that is too fat! For dogs that are thin but full of energy and producing formed feces, the first step is to check they are getting enough calories per meal. A dog may lose weight because it uses up more calories than it is eating. This may be straightforward -- as when the dog isn't being fed enough food. If this is the case, then increasing his portion size should do the trick.  The simplest way to do this is compare your dog's ideal weight with the suggested feeding amount on the food packaging. If your dog is a specific breed, there is lots of information online about what is that breed's ideal weight. Go with the weight you want the dog to be, rather than the weight it is at the moment. For example, if you own a male Labrador then an average sized dog should weigh up to 40kg. Measure out a typical portion of your dog's daily food allowance by weight. Make a note of the weight of the food and compare it to the recommended amount from the food packaging.  It's interesting to note that some of these recommendations are actually 25% above what the dog needs (they tend to be on the generous side, rather than the skimpy side). If you are giving your Labrador 400g of kibble a day, and the packaging advises 500g a day, then your dog is being fed 20% less calories than the recommended and so it will lose weight. This is easily rectified by increasing the amount of his daily allowance. This can be a difficult decision because each food contains different amounts of calories and the size of dogs vary so much. As a rule of thumb, increase the food by no more than 10% of the original quantity.  So if you were feeding 400g a day, an extra 10% adds another 40g, which you would split into 2 meals of 20g each additional. Feed this for 2 -3 days and check the dog doesn't have diarrhea, at which point you can...

For maximum use, place the posts where the cat is going to get "value" from using it as a territory marker. Good places for a scratching posts include near entrances or exits, near a window, or in front of an object she already favors as a scratching post.  Do NOT place the post in an inconspicuous, out of the way place. Your cat will ignore it. Make sure that the post is positioned in a way that your cat likes to scratch. For example, if your cat prefers to scratch vertical surfaces, like the side of the sofa, make sure that the post is in a vertical position. Cats often like to scratch after waking up, so place a scratching post near your cat’s favorite napping spot as well. If your cat likes to scratch furniture, consider wrapping the part she likes to scratch in tin foil or double sided sticky tape. Cats hate the feel of tin foil and sticky surfaces so it should discourage your cat from scratching. You can also cover the sofa with rugs, but this can be an imperfect solution because your cat may just start scratching the rugs. If you catch your cat in the act of scratching something she should not be scratching, clap your hands loudly to interrupt the behavior. Do not yell at your cat or punish her physically. Just pick up your cat and take her to the scratching post. Doing this will give her the idea that you want her to scratch there. You can make scratching posts more attractive to your cat using her own scent or some catnip. Try showing your cat how to use a post by rubbing her paws on it or rub some catnip into the scratching post to draw her attention to it.   Encourage your cat to use the post by making gentle scratching motions with her paws on the post. Doing so will help to add her scent to the post make her more likely to use it. Make sure that you praise your cat while you do this. Try spritzing the scratching post with Feliway. Feliway is a synthetic feline pheromone that makes cats feel safe and secure. It also amplifies her scent signals, which she will appreciate.

TL;DR in English: Place the posts somewhere that your cat can access them with ease. Make your cat’s favorite piece of furniture unappealing. Clap your hands to discourage your cat from scratching. Make scratching posts more attractive to your cat.

Places where the soil doesn't drain well after rain or that are exposed to high winds are not good for snails. Pick a location that has ample space and won't be exposed to the harsh elements.  A trench is the perfect location for a snail pen because it's not exposed to high-winds. Being on the bottom of a hill or surrounded by trees will also protect your farm. You can purchase snail pen fencing material online or from most hardware stores. Popular fencing materials include corrugated metal or plastic, chicken wire, or a woven material. The purpose of the pen is to keep the snails in. Choose a material within your budget, and get enough of it so you can build a 5x5 meter (16.4x16.4) pen.  You can make the perimeter of your fence larger if you want to house more snails. Larger snail farms can be anywhere from 1000 square meters  (3280.84 square feet) to 10,000 square meters (32808.4 square feet) in size. You can purchase wooden fence posts at the same store that you bought your fencing. Space each post 1.25 meters  (four feet) away from each other so that there are 5 posts on each side of your pen. This is the perimeter that you'll be using as your snail pen, and will be what you wrap your fencing material around. Use a shovel to dig the trench outside of each of the wooden posts around the perimeter of your snail farm. This will house the bottom of your fencing material. Take your fencing material and wrap it tightly around the wooden posts. Put the bottom of the fence into the trench that you dug earlier. This will ensure that the snails can't escape and that larger predators won't be able to dig under the pen. Use a shovel and fill the trench in with dirt. Once the trench is covered, make sure to pat down the soil in the area so that the fence stays under the ground. Your snail pen is now ready. Snails prefer damp, loamy soil with low acidity and a lot of organic matter. Go to a home and gardening store and get one that has a pH of 7 or lower to encourage good snail health. Pour the soil into the snail...

TL;DR in English: Pick a wind-free moist location for your pen. Choose a fencing material. Create the snail pen perimeter by driving posts into the ground. Dig a .4 meter (1.3 foot) deep trench around the posts. Wrap and staple the wire mesh around your posts. Cover the trench with dirt. Lay down moist, loamy soil. Choose a well-ventilated container if starting a small, personal farm.

Get out a rimmed baking sheet and tear off a piece of parchment paper. Lay it on the baking sheet and set it aside. Although you don't have to use the parchment paper, it will prevent the meatballs from sticking to the sheet and it will make clean up easier. Leave the turkey meatballs to cook until they reach an internal temperature of 165 °F (74 °C) with a meat thermometer. The meatballs should become a rich brown color. Remove the sheet of meatballs from the oven and spoon them into warm pasta sauce. Then serve the turkey meatballs with cooked pasta, steamed rice, or crusty bread. Store the leftover meatballs in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.

Write in plain, succinct language that any audience can understand. In order to sell your screenplay, your reader must first understand what your plot is about. If you use jargon or flowery language, your reader probably won’t bother going past the first few paragraphs. If you pad your synopsis with unnecessary adjectives or adverbs, it’s no longer a synopsis. Stay brief, and you’ll be one step closer to your goal. Ask them to look for errors in spelling, grammar, and any information that isn’t clear to them. This could be a friend, family member, or colleague. If they have any questions or if something isn't clear to them, change your synopsis to make the story clearer. If your reader finds something in your synopsis that’s unclear or confusing, they won’t request your full screenplay. Many organizations you may submit your synopsis to publish submission guidelines. Change your synopsis, if necessary, to fit those guidelines. The agent, movie studio, or other reader will likely request changes to fit established word counts or page counts. Follow those suggestions exactly if you want your synopsis to pass the next round.

TL;DR in English: Avoid extravagant language. Give your synopsis to other people to proofread. Prepare to make edits.

. This part may be hard but just take a deep breath and try to gather your thoughts! Remember where you left all those textbooks and gather together some spare pieces of paper and pens. Highlighters and flashcards are also a good idea. If you still have your syllabus, great. Use it as an outline. The topics that pop up more than once are likely to be on the test. Concentrate on the bigger picture -- highlight the important facts that you think could be on the test. Also remember to look closely at the vocabulary! It will obviously help your understanding if you know what a word means. Read the chapter summaries (they usually do a good job at summarizing the important points). If there are no chapter summaries, then skim through the text and write down key ideas. This is the most important part of cramming. You have a very limited amount of time -- you must use it as efficiently as possible. Get down to the nitty-gritty and only study what you think is worthy of being on the test.  Focus on the main ideas and learn key formulas. Skip the details for now and only come back to them if you see that you have time after you have learned the key points. Don't attempt to learn everything; focus on things that will get you the most points on the exam. If your professor said the essay will be 75% of your grade, you're best off preparing for that and skipping the multiple choice. This will help your brain process the material better. If you just skim your textbooks or notes you probably won't remember anything! If you're lucky enough to have an insomniac for a roommate, grab them. Ask them to listen to you spout off about certain concepts. Relaying information to another individual is a surefire way to guarantee you understand the ins and outs of the ideas. . This is a good way to quiz yourself and it also helps you process the information when you write out the flashcards and read them out loud! Use different colors for different topics or chapters.  Look for parallels, metaphors, and other memory-triggers to help you...

Some kits, such as IDENTIGENE for DNA paternity tests, may be found at pharmacies like Walmart and Walgreens. Other kits can be ordered online at the manufacturer’s website. Some options are AncestryDNA for genealogy analysis and 23andMe for health risk analysis. After you receive the kit, use the included tools to gather your DNA sample. The kits either have cheek swabs or saliva containers. Swab the inside of your cheek or spit into the container. DNA tests to establish paternity require a sample from parents as well as the child. The kit will come with packaging to mail back to the testing facility. For example, your paternity DNA test may have several envelopes. Record the name of the sample provider and their personal information, including age and ethnicity.  Many DNA test companies operate online. The sample kit will have a barcode that you must register on the company’s website. DNA samples to establish paternity require signatures from the sample providers. Fill out the order form with your information. This will indicate you as the results recipient. The envelopes are typically prepaid, so all you have to do is slip them into a mailbox. Go to the company’s website. If you haven’t already, set up an account by registering your email and setting a password. Simple paternity tests can be completed relatively quickly, but lengthier ancestry and health risk analysis DNA test will take longer. The test results often require more analysis to be illuminating. For example, a health-based DNA test will reveal how much more likely you are to get a certain disease than someone else. Don’t worry yet and don’t disregard any treatment plans your doctor has already given you. Call the company or enlist the help of your doctor to interpret the results before you change your lifestyle.  Paternity tests need to be submitted to the court system to be considered official. For ancestry tests, research your family tree to gather more information about your lineage.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a kit. Gather saliva samples. Document the source of the sample. Mail the samples to the company. Check the results online. Seek counseling for your results.

You can plan out your whole day ahead of time to go as smoothly and successfully as possible, but get a flat tire on the way to work that throws off your whole schedule.  Adapting to changes like this and keeping your focus on how to alter your schedule can help you remain positive and mindful the rest of your day instead of feeling resentful or helpless. Learn how to tell the difference between what you can and cannot control to help you move forward with your life.   Remember that you cannot control what other people do, but you have complete control over how you react to everything around you.  Your emotions are solely your responsibility. Reflect on things that contributed to your current position.  What could you have done differently then?  Can you use this experience to apply such lessons to your future behaviors and actions to make sure you don’t repeat yourself? .  Since you have been able to fully assess and accept your current situation and what you don’t like about it, as well as how your actions contributed to creating it, you can now decide how you want your life to be different in the future. Think of a general goal and then come up with a definite smaller goal that will help you get there.  Do you want to find a new job, lose a healthy amount of weight, learn to better handle your finances, or develop stronger and healthier relationship skills? If you want a new job, do you need more training or education? Do you need to start practicing for interviews and hiring a resume consultant? Will you start spending an hour every morning looking through want-ads? If your goal is to lose weight, start with a specific goal, like fitting into those pants you love and haven’t been able to wear in two years.  How much lost weight will it take to get into those pants again?

In order to locate the break or leak in the sprinkler system, you need to run water through it. Turn on the sprinkler system to activate the flow of water. Allow the water to run for about 2 minutes before you check the lines. After you turn on the sprinkler system, walk through the area where the sprinkler system is installed. Listen for running water and walk towards where you hear the sound to locate the leak in your sprinkler line. You may not be able to find the leak just by listening, but it can help you narrow down your search. If you see water spraying out of the line instead of the sprinkler head, then there’s a crack or leak in the line. Once you’ve identified where the leak is, mark the location so you can find it when the water is turned off. If the sprinkler line is exposed enough for you to see water spraying out of a break or crack, check the line for a visible crack, and use a marker to mark the location of the leak. If you see a pool of water or water coming from the soil, then there’s a leak in the sprinkler line buried underneath. Mark the general location of the leak or break so you can identify it when the water is turned off. Place an item like a shovel or a rock on the ground near the leak. If you’re having trouble finding water leaking out into the ground, check the sprinkler heads. If you notice a row of them aren’t spraying water or are spraying much less water than other sprinkler heads, then the line is broken and the water isn’t reaching them. The break or leak in the water line will be located between the last working sprinkler head and the first nonworking one. If you’ve found the signs of a leak and located the region where the line is leaking or broken, turn off the water so you can repair the line. Use the shut off valve in the control box to stop the flow of water through the system.  Wait 1-2 minutes to allow the water to finish flowing through the system. Be sure to shut the valve completely so there isn’t water flowing through the line when you make your repairs.

TL;DR in English: Turn on the sprinkler system. Listen for the sound of running water. See if there’s water spouting out of a section of the line. Check for water bubbling up from the soil. Look for a series of sprinkler heads that aren’t working properly. Turn off the sprinkler system after you’ve found the leak.

. Semi-formal attire can be confusing, since these days it generally means formal. Basically think of full formal as being ball gowns and your nicest tux (with cuff links!). Semi-formal, then, becomes cocktail dresses and suits with colorful button down shirts (tie optional). . It's business...but it's casual? Seems like it would be a huge contradiction, right? It's not as complex as it sounds. Generally, you take one half of your outfit and make it more casual, while maintaining business attire on the other.  For example, jeans, formal shoes, a button down shirt (no tie), and suit jacket. Another example would be wearing formal pants and shoes but a more party-friendly blouse (as long as it's not revealing). . Of course, dressing for a party is a bit complicated. It really depends on what kind of party it is! Know ahead of time whether it's a costume or not. Beyond that, always err on the side of too-formal. Dressing slightly nicer than what you expect everyone else will be dressed as. If you're over-dressed, just say that you so rarely get an excuse to dress nice, you wanted to take the chance. . You can probably guess that it would be in bad form to dress in all black for a wedding, unless you're one of the guys putting on a tux....but beyond that, you're clueless. The best advice is to dress semi-formal and in pastel, happy colors. Woman should avoid going to bright and should never wear mostly white, as this is seen as trying to draw attention away from the bride. . Dressing like a pro for an interview is one of the most important things you can do to land a job. But how exactly do you dress? Like with a party, it's a good idea to dress just a little bit nicer than is maybe necessary. Dress not like how you would expect to dress in that position, but rather dress how you would expect to if you were going to have your new boss' job.

A common misconception about having an infected ingrown toenail is that it needs to be cut. Contrary to popular belief, cutting the nail can make the infection worse. It can also cause more ingrown toenails in the future. Leave the nail uncut, and prop it up to relieve pressure. The toenail may need to be cut by a doctor, but should not be done at home in ‘bathroom surgery’. It may be tempting to try to relieve pressure or lift the nail from the skin by digging at the skin underneath. Do not do this because it can intensify an infection and make the ingrown nail worse. Stay away from your toenails with tweezers, orange sticks, clippers, files, or any other metal tools. There is a popular conception that you should use a needle to puncture a blister or a pustule caused by an infection. You should not do this because it will just make it worse. Even if you use clean tools and a sanitized needle, you can cause some serious damage by poking and prodding at a blister or infected wound. Avoid touching it with anything other than a cotton swab or bandaging materials. According to some old folk healing methods, you should cut a ‘V’ shape in the top of the infected toenail to relieve the pressure, which in turn will heal the nail. However, doing this does absolutely nothing except create a jagged edge on your nail. Do not believe urban health myths such as rubbing coal on your toe to make an infection go away. Although some people swear by this method, the coal won’t benefit the infection or the ingrown nail at all. In fact, this method may make it worse. In general, you should not put anything on your toe or the infected area except for antibiotic cream or bandages.

While this heats up, mince the garlic and chop up onions and mushrooms, if desired. The garlic should be slightly golden. Add the mushrooms and onions as well, along with an extra 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Stir everything well with a whisk or wooden spoon. Raise the heat and quickly bring the sauce to a boil so that many bubbles are reaching the surface and popping. Do not let the sauce keep boiling -- you only need it to reach this temperature quickly. Stir the flour in quickly after lowering the heat. The sauce should be simmering, with a few bubbles breaking on the surface. You can simmer the sauce for as long as you want before serving. The longer you leave it on, the thicker and richer it will be. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add hot broth to thin it out without sacrificing flavor. White wine sauce pairs well with chicken and shellfish in particular.

Hygiene plays a key role in maintaining skin integrity. Soap, although important in hygiene, can cause irritation and may not help in removing any of the dead skin caused by dryness. Instead, rinse your feet thoroughly with warm water every time you bathe in order to promote moisture. Warm water (40 to 34°C) promotes circulation and both comforts and refreshes your feet. Always wash the bottoms of your feet well and between your toes. You should use a washcloth to get between your toes or use a long handled sponge on your feet if you prefer not to have to bend down in the shower. Make sure you dry well between your toes with a towel as this will prevent the develop of infection, and reduce any odors or bacteria on your feet. Tight, uncomfortable shoes can cause painful foot growths and distort your toe shape. They can also irritate your feet and lead to blisters and cracked skin. Try to wear comfortable shoes that fit well on a daily basis, especially if you are always on your feet throughout the day.  If you wear high heels, look for heels that are wide, stable, and no higher than two inches. Make sure there is enough room in your heels for your toes, as your shoes should not narrow until well past the balls of your feet. You should also alternate your heels heights regularly to prevent your Achilles tendon from shortening. Avoid wearing flip flops and completely flat shoes, as they do not provide arch support. You should also avoid walking around barefoot to avoid developing flat feet. Minimize the amount of time you wear shoes with no arch support to keep your feet healthy and strong. Try to alternate your shoes so you do not wear the same pair every day, even if you have two pairs of the same style. This will prevent shoe odor, and foot infections. You should also change your socks every day so you wear a fresh pair. This will prevent foot irritation and infections, which could trigger dry and cracked skin. Promoting hydration is one of the best ways to keep any part of your skin healthy, including the...

Bad bacteria feed off of refined sugar in your gut. Before buying a product, check its nutrition label. Products that are high in sugar contain more than 22.5 grams (0.8 oz) of sugar per 100 grams. Additionally, try to cut back on the amount of sugar you put in your tea and coffee. Foods high in sugar include cake, candy, chocolate, fruit juice, soda, alcohol, sweetened tea and coffee, honey, and syrup. Like sugar, saturated fat nourishes the bad bacteria in your gut. It will be much harder to restore your gut flora if you are eating foods that are high in saturated fat. Products that are high in saturated fat contain more than 5 grams (0.18 oz) of saturated fat per 100 grams (3.5 oz). Foods that are high in saturated fat include fatty meats, butter, ice cream, cake, pies, and pastries. Processed foods tend to have high amounts of sugar, fat, and salt, which bad bacteria feed off of. By reducing your consumption of these foods, you can help restore the good flora in your gut. Make your own meals and eat fresh fruits and vegetables instead of consuming processed foods. Processed foods include fast food, canned fruits and vegetables, and pre-packaged foods.

A virtual private network (VPN) essentially acts as a middleman between the web and your computer, and provides an extra layer of encryption to your interactions online.  The VPN server might be located in a different city or even a different country than the one you reside in, and means that tracing your data back to you is almost impossible. For a double-whammy of internet privacy, combine the VPN with your browser’s incognito or privacy mode.  Privacy mode prevents data, cookies, your download record, and other info from being saved on your computer. Wifi hotspots are attractive when you’re out and about but need to hop online for a quick search for directions or other info, but do so with caution.  Spend a minimum amount of time logged on to public wifi.  Be sure what the name of the public wifi hotspot is.  Logging into the wrong one, or one with a similar name meant to deliberately deceive public wifi users, could mean your online communication -- including passwords, emails, and bank info -- is being lifted by a hacker. Keep your home wifi connection encrypted.  Open wifi makes it easy for hackers to access your computer and download illegal files. Purchase a new router every few years.  Some routers have vulnerabilities which never get corrected. Whether it’s your social media, online banking, or email account, you’ll feel frustrated and powerless if you suffer a security breach.  Use long passwords (greater than eight characters) with a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and (if possible) other characters like underscores and...

Wash the hulled nuts in a bucket of water. Dry the nuts in a mesh bag for 5 weeks. Crack the shells with a heavy-duty cracker. Discard any damaged or rotten nuts. Store the nutmeat in your fridge or freezer.

Make sure you completely understand what you are trying to find.  Wordy math problems can sometimes be confusing, so re-read carefully to make sure you were solving the right problem. Also double-check that you understood what the information in the problem meant. For example: “Fred picks 8 apples on Sunday, and 6 apples on Monday. George picks 2 more apples than Fred each day. Charlie picks 5 less apples than George on Sunday, and 1 more apple on Friday. How many apples does George pick?” Here, make sure to solve for the amount of apples George picks, not the amount Charlie picks or the amount all of them pick together. Also, make sure you understand all of the details of the problem. For example, each day, George picks 2 more than Fred’s daily total. He doesn’t pick 2 more than Fred’s 2-day total. Word problems are full of keywords that help you translate the words into math. Highlight these keywords in the problem. Also highlight the numbers. Then, go back to your calculations and double check that the operations and numbers in your calculations match what is presented in the problem.  Some common keywords include “combined” (addition), “decreased” (subtraction), “of” (multiplication), and “per” (division).  For example: “Carlos has 15 books per book shelf. He has 120 books. How many shelves does he have?” The key word “per” should tell you this is a division problem. If you go back to your work and see that you calculated 15×120{\displaystyle 15\times 120}, you know that you did the wrong calculation. Think about the information in the problem and the solution you are trying to find. Decide whether your answer should be bigger than the numbers represented in the problem, or smaller. Think about whether your answer should be a whole number. If your solution has a remainder or a decimal, make sure that it makes sense in the context of the story problem. For example: “Mr. Ripley needs to book buses for the fourth grade field trip. Each bus holds 52 people. He has 30 students. The two other fourth grade...

TL;DR in English: Re-read the problem. Check keywords and numbers against your calculations. Check for reasonableness.

You’ll need a good credit score to qualify for a conventional mortgage—usually around 620. To get the best interest rates, you’ll need a score around 740 or better.  Check your credit score and get copies of your credit report. Go through your credit report to see if there are any errors. For example, someone else’s debts might be listed on your report because they have a similar name or Social Security number. Dispute any wrong information. The best way to improve your credit is to pay down debt. Consider whether you need to delay buying your townhouse until you improve your credit score. You’ll be in a stronger bargaining position if a lender pre-approves you for a mortgage. The process is easy. Gather financial documents, such as your paystubs, bank statements, and tax returns. You can complete an application either online or by visiting the lender.  Work only with lenders who have experience underwriting loans for townhouses. Some lenders don’t know how to classify townhouses and consider them condos. However, the difference between a townhouse and a condo is that a condo has no land attached to it, whereas a townhouse includes the land under and around it as specific in the lot map. A townhouse includes the land in its value, but a condo has no land as part of its value. If you’re approved, you’ll receive an approval letter which is good for only 90 days. Plan your house hunting accordingly. In a hot market, sellers can usually get their asking price (or more) because there are multiple bidders on the same house. However, in a cold market, buyers have more power. Look at how long the townhouse has been on the market. Also check how much comparable homes have sold for. If you have a real estate agent, they can do a Comparative Market Analysis. However, you can also check websites such as Zillow and Trulia yourself to see what similar townhouses have fetched. Bid appropriately, based on the market. If it’s cold, then come in a little under the asking price, e.g., 5% below. If you think the home is wildly...

TL;DR in English: Improve your credit, if necessary. Get pre-approved for a mortgage. Analyze the market. Set an opening bid. Draft a purchase offer. Write a letter of interest. Submit your offer.

The only way to truly control every nutrient and calorie that goes into your body is to cook for yourself. Though every restaurant nowadays tends to have healthier options, you can never be sure what's in that salad dressing or what type of oil they use for their vegetables. You'll be better off cooking for yourself and being able to exercise complete control over every bite you intake. This way you can use healthier oils, like olive oil, less butter, less sugar, less salt (a big culprit when it comes to bloating) and control your portion sizes, too. And what's even better? It stretches your wallet further, too. If this were a permanent lifestyle change, keeping track might just be demotivating. But since this is only for 14 days, it's totally doable. Keeping track can help you see where you're likely to flub up, see where you have a little wiggle room, and help you see all the progress you've made – which is an awesome feeling. It's proof of a job well done. This can be done with an old school pen and paper like with a food diary, or you could get technological and download one of the plethora of weight loss apps available. Many help you count calories, carbs, fats, and protein and take into account exercise, too. It sounds obvious, but one of the most important things you can do to guarantee weight loss success is to commit to your goal. This is especially important for a short-term diet like this. You cannot afford to have an “off” day when you slack on your diet or exercise regimen. Once you decide to go this route, you must be committed to seeing it through. It'll be easier if you tell other people about your plan, or if you have other people to do it with you. They can hold you accountable, you can eat healthy  and exercise together, and you can complain about it together, too. The best way to burn calories is through exercise. If your body is already familiar with moderate physical activity, you might be able to take things up a notch by alternating moderate and vigorous activity throughout your day....

TL;DR in English: Start cooking. Keep track of your eating and exercising. Make a commitment. Get several hours of moderate to vigorous exercise each day. Take little opportunities to exercise, too. Get a full night’s sleep.

After you remove the hulls, place the nuts, still in their shells, in a bucket of water. This will help rinse away juices, residue, and loose fibers from the hull. Discard any nuts that float to the surface. The good nuts should sink in water. Once you’ve rinsed the nuts, place them in a loosely woven bag, such as an onion bag, to allow airflow. Hang them up in a well-ventilated outdoor area, out of direct sunlight and sheltered from rain. The nuts should be dry in about 5 weeks.  Alternatively, you can spread the nuts out in a thin layer on the ground to dry. However, you’ll need to keep them someplace where they’ll be protected from animals and the elements, such as a screened-in porch. You can tell when the nuts are dry enough by shaking the shells. You should hear the nutmeat rattling inside. Black walnut shells are very difficult to crack. Once the nuts are dry, you can open them using a heavy-duty pressure cracker, which is a type of nutcracker that works similarly to a vise. You may also be able to crack the nuts with a hammer, a heavy board, or a vise grip. After you crack the nut, pick out the meat with a nutpick.  You probably won’t be able to crack black walnuts with a regular hand-held nutcracker. To crack multiple nuts at once, place up to 100 of them in a burlap bag and hit the bag with a mallet several times to crack the shells. You’ll need to separate the nut fragments from the cracked shells by hand. If you don’t want to crack the nuts right away, put them in a bag and store them at 32–40 °F (0–4 °C). As you crack the nuts, examine the shells and nutmeat carefully. Throw away any nuts with shells that are already cracked or damaged, since they may be infected with mold or microorganisms. Discard any nutmeat that is black, bright yellow, or streaked with blue, since these are signs of infection. Healthy black walnut kernels should range from light to dark brown on the outside, and off-white or cream colored on the inside. After you get the nuts out of the shells, let the meat dry for 1-2 days,...

At the top of a sheet of paper or Microsoft Word document, write down what you want to achieve during the brainstorming session. This will help focus your ideas. You may even want to list a few different objectives. Your goals may be very vague such as “find a new career” or “write a short story.” They may also be very specific, such as “increase profits by 10%” or “start a flower garden in my backyard.” Think of your central idea or problem. Write down a few words that you immediately associate with those ideas. Look over these new words and write down any words that you think are related. As the words pop into your head, write them down, no matter how silly or strange they might seem.  For example, if you are writing a paper for English class, you can write down the names of the novels you read in class. When you think of Jane Eyre, you may write down mystery, romance, madwoman, or governess. The word governess might make you think of strong female character, working women, or education. Continue writing down associated words until you have a strong concept in mind. If you don't have a central idea yet, you can just write down a random word. Put down whatever comes into your head first. This is effective for creative activities. Sit down for fifteen minutes, and write down whatever comes across your mind. Do not let your pen leave the page until the fifteen minutes are up. This will help you start processing ideas. While you might begin with no good thoughts, you may find you have stumbled upon some new ideas by the time your fifteen minutes are up.  A good way to start is to state your goal, and write "I want..." statements after it. For example, "I want to give a talk on effective brainstorming. I want this talk to be twenty minutes. I want to discuss in this talk how to freewrite." As ideas come to you, you may start writing naturally. Even if you are thinking “I have nothing to write about,” jot it down. The goal is to start writing. Through the process of writing, you will think of new ideas. Create a...

TL;DR in English: Write down your goals and problems. Do word association. Freewrite. Draft a list. Doodle pictures.

If you are from the United States and traveling in the United Kingdom, bring along an unlocked phone that allows SIM cards to be inputted from other providers. A SIM card is a small information chip that you can purchase from a mobile provider while abroad.  Ensure that the cell phone you want to bring to the UK is a GSM phone (global cellular technology used by most of the world) and it’s unlocked, meaning that it doesn't have a restriction on being used with other providers. AT&T and T-Mobile carry GSM phones which are typically unlocked.  Look for a UK mobile provider that carries a SIM card that will fit in your phone. Most mobile phones have a standard SIM card size, but iPhones and other newer smartphones use special micro or nano SIM card sizes.  You can set up an international calling plan through your current U.S. phone carrier, but note that these plans are typically very expensive. Whether you choose an international call plan or the SIM card route, make sure to call your U.S. provider to change or suspend your service and ask any questions you may have before traveling to the UK. Choose to buy a mobile phone in the UK if you can’t or don’t want to bring your own from the U.S., as it is frequently simpler and cheaper. Buy an inexpensive phone for a short stay in the UK, and purchase a pay-as-you-go SIM card plan to make international calls.  Check the pricing on the plan to make sure you know what the rates are for international calls. Check the data usage rates on a smartphone if you plan to use it for internet calling apps. Most pay-as-you-go SIM card plans for mobile phones in the UK come with a small amount of prepaid minutes for calls, and then you can “top up” with more minutes over the phone or at a kiosk for the network provider. The major mobile phone networks in the UK are Vodafone, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, O2, and Orange. Shops like Car Phone Warehouse and Phones4U sell inexpensive phones from several different networks. Call the U.S. from a UK landline phone if you wish. Check with the...

Choose a slightly soft lemon that will yield plenty of juice. Make a cut across the short side of the lemon. Once your lemon is cut in half, remove all the visible seeds from its surface by scraping them out with a knife. You’ll probably need at least 2-4 teaspoons (11.4-22.8 g) of table salt to completely cover the lemon. The salt will act as a natural sponge when you apply it to your brass. Rub down the entirety of your brass item with the lemon and salt, squeezing out lemon juice as you go. Check on the salt layer, and replace it when necessary. Use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe away the lemon juice and salt mixture. Be sure to thoroughly clean the brass, as any leftover lemon residue will become sticky and hard if it dries. Use a soft, dry cloth to buff your brass by gently wiping the surface in small circular motions. Your brass should now be shiny and gold in appearance. It’s a great idea to protect your brass with a layer of oil. Pour 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of olive oil onto a soft, dry cloth and rub the oil onto the brass. Move in small circles to coat the entire piece. If you prefer, there are also a variety of commercial wax options for your brass. The application process will also require a soft cloth, and you can buff the surface using the same small circular motions you would use with the oil. Some of these substances may require you to wear protective gloves.

TV's are sold more and more like cars, with gifted salespeople or advertisements attempting to up-sell you with fancy features and a load of techno-jumbled words. The best way to prevent spending more than you want is to come up with your maximum price before you enter the store or head online. When possible, be upfront about it -- tell the salesperson you will absolutely pay no more than this number, preventing them from showing you certain items. Basic pricing estimates, as of 2016, are:   32-inch: $150 to $500  39- to 43-inch: $250 to $1,100  46-to-52-inch: $380 to $1,600  55- to 59-inch: $450 to $2,500  65-inch: $700 to $5,000 TVs are expensive investments, and should last you many years when bought correctly. Waiting a month or two for enormous Christmas and Black Friday sales can be worth it, helping you get potentially better TV for your budget than you expected.  November is overwhelmingly the best time to get a cheap TV. Prices are always lowest on and before Black Friday, and you can usually buy them online.  March, after the companies have debuted their new sets at the beginning of the year, is the next best chance at a cheap TV before the new models hit store. The slimmer TVs get, the worse they sound. Speakers need physical room to work, so ultra-thin sets often sound tinny. A basic sound bar is often your best bet if you don't already have a stereo system, and they are generally under $100. Still, remember to consider the sound when buying a TV -- it is worth accounting for when pricing. There are some features that will matter -- if you want a Smart TV, built in DVR, etc. -- but at the end of the day the picture size is the most important consideration. If you want a TV that will last and satisfyingly display everything from sports to video games, then bigger is better. Do not, however, just buy a big TV without accounting for the room size. Remember -- you want to sit roughly 1.5 to 2 times the size of the TV away for comfort, so a 60" TV should have at least 90" to 120" of space in front of...

TL;DR in English: Set your budget before you go shopping. Shop during November or March for the best prices on new TVs. Remember to save money for the sound system, which most TVs ignore. Spend your money on size, not fancy buzzwords and features. Never buy a TV purely based on its performance in a showroom. Read reviews before making any purchases.

A bit of a no-brainer, perhaps, but once you're past those first six weeks, simply remove your earrings when the situation calls for it. Bodies can close their piercing sites at unpredictable rates, but it's highly unlikely for them to close over a day or weekend.  Most piercings will close without anything in them, taking anywhere from a few days to several weeks.   A thin membrane may grow over the hole, without the hole actually closing; jewelry can typically be pushed back through this with minimal pain. Try lubricating the area with antibiotic ointment if you encounter any difficulty.  Reopening the closed piercing is also possible, if the earrings must remain out of your ears for extended periods of time. Cartilage piercings, as opposed to lobe piercings, can remain without jewelry for a much longer time without closing. As was mentioned in part one, though, the healing process for these is also much longer compared to lobe piercings. Clear, quartz jewelry can be worn to keep the earring tunnel open with discrete results.  While far from invisible, clear jewelry requires fairly close inspection to detect.  Clear acrylic is less recommended for its quality issues, but it’s also a viable option. Clear jewelry is not recommended for your very first earrings; your first earring should be 14-carat gold or stainless steel, as these are less likely to cause infection or swelling.  Other metals can also induce allergic reactions. Small, flesh-colored posts work similarly to clear ones, but may be even less noticeable. Stretched ears in particular—while difficult to hide—will have more success with flesh-colored plugs. These can be found in a variety of materials, including acrylic and various silicones. If you’d like it to be secret that you have your ears pierced at all, remove your earrings and apply a small dab of concealer or foundation to the hole. Make sure to choose the right shade for your skin tone. If you wish to draw less attention to a second piercing, for example, try choosing a much bigger stud,...

Physical activity can help increase positive mood (by releasing endorphins) and prevent mood diagnoses such as anxiety and depressive disorders. Focus on exercising at least every other day for at least 30 minutes. Or, when you feel a mood swing coming on get out and do something physical.   Traditional exercises such as walking, running, and lifting weights are useful in creating a physical activity schedule. You can even do exercises at home. Try sweeping, vacuuming or other types of cleaning. Or, put on a YouTube exercise video for free! Exercise doesn’t have to be boring. Try fun physical activities like: hiking, canoeing, fishing, kayaking, gardening, jumping rope, dancing, bowling, shooting pool, kickboxing, doing yoga, and playing sports. Sleep duration and quality have effects on your mood and overall health. Get less sleep and you might become more anxious or agitated, which can be a trigger to a mood swing.   Sleep at least 8 hours per night. Set a bedtime and wake-time and stick to them even on weekends. Stop watching television and using your phone at least 30 minutes before bedtime. What goes in your body dictates how you will feel physically. Having a healthy diet can produce stability in both body and mind. Make sure you get enough vitamins and minerals in your diet.  Ditch the junk food. It doesn’t help to cope by overeating or eating unhealthy foods. Don't constantly miss meals. Eat at least 3 solid meals per day. Plan ahead so that you aren’t in a situation where you are left without any food during lunchtime. Have snacks with you so that you avoid feeling cranky due to hunger. When you start to experience a drop in energy or start to feel moody, eat a snack. Some good options are: yogurt, fruits, nuts (as long as you aren’t allergic), cheese, protein bars, granola bars, and vegetables. Avoid coffee and soda if you can. Soda and coffee will raise your blood sugar levels rapidly however shortly after these levels drop very low thus effecting your mood swings again. If you drink 4 cups of...

Newborns need to get lots of rest to continue growing healthy and strong -- some can rest up to 16 hours a day. Though once your baby is three months or so old, he may be able to sleep for 6-8 hours at a time, in the beginning, your baby may only sleep for 2-3 hours at a time and should be woken up if he or she hasn't been fed for 4 hours.  Some babies have their days and nights confused when they are born. If your baby is more alert at night, try to limit nighttime stimulation by keeping the lights dim and your talking low, and be patient until your baby begins a normal sleeping cycle. Make sure you place your baby on his back to lower the risk of SIDS. You should alternate the position of your baby's head -- whether it's leaning to the left or the right -- to eliminate the "soft spot" that can appear on a baby's face if he spends too much time sleeping with his head in one position. If you want to breastfeed your baby, then feeding your baby the first time you hold her after she is delivered is a great place to start. You should turn your baby's body toward you, so you are holding her chest toward yours. Touch her upper lip with your nipple and pull her to your breast when she opens her mouth wide. Once she does this, her mouth should cover your nipple and as much of the areola as possible. Here are some things you should know about breastfeeding your baby:  If the baby is getting enough food, it will produce 6-8 wet diapers a day, along with steady bowel movements, be alert when it's awake, and will steadily gain weight. Don't stress if your baby has a hard time feeding at first; it takes patience and practice. You can get help from a nurse or even a lactation consultant (who can be helpful before birth). Know that nursing shouldn't hurt. If the latch-on hurts, break the suction by placing your pinkie finger between your baby's gums and your breast and repeat the process. You should nurse about 8-12 times during the first 24 hours of baby's birth. You don't have to stick to a strict schedule, but should...

When you see a tic develop in your child, don't assume the worst — that it will become a severe case of TS lasting the rest of their life. Instead, be patient and supportive, while trying to create a less stressful environment for your child, either at home or at school. In the vast majority of cases, childhood tics vanish almost as quickly as they come on, within a few months. If your child has a tic for more than a year, then a diagnosis of TS is likely, but there's still a chance of it going away or becoming very mild and controllable.  There are no blood, laboratory or brain imaging tests used for diagnosing tics. Most kids or adults are self-diagnosed after they, their parents / relatives or friends read or hear about TS or TTD. Chronic emotional, psychological and physical stress is associated with virtually every behavioral abnormality. Look at your child's daily routine and try to spot the major stressors, then alleviate them if you can. Doctors, psychologists and counselors recommend that family members don't call much attention to the tics, at least at first. This is because unwanted attention, especially if it's negative and involves anger or disparaging remarks, causes more stress that can make the tics worse. If the tics become complex and severe enough to cause social problems at school and/or work, then consider behavioral therapy and/or medications if they persist beyond a few months.  If the tic doesn't go away within a week or, ask your child what's bothering them. Maybe they have allergies, a chronic infection or another illness. Short-term repetitive behavior is not always a tic. Don't mimic your child's tic in efforts to be humorous or playful — it may make them more self-conscious or nervous. Seeking therapy or medication for a mild tic in a child due to your embarrassment is not a good idea. Deciding on treatment should depend on if the tic behavior disrupts your child's life or has a real negative impact. Cognitive behavioral therapy is usually the first line of treatment for tics that...

The secretary is usually responsible for taking meeting minutes, but if this is not the case for your organization, you will need to appoint someone to record the contents of the AGM.  Keep a record of any decisions made at the AGM, especially those regarding elections and changes to the organization's constitution. It can also be a wise idea to record the names and contact information of the attendees. You can do this by instructing the attendees to sign in as they arrive. Open the AGM with a formal greeting. During this greeting, make sure that the meeting agenda and annual reports are being distributed to the attendees.  Declare the meeting to be open. As you do so, state the organization's full name and the current AGM number (the twenty-second Annual General Meeting, the thirty-nine Annual General Meeting, etc.). Welcome all members and name any special visitors. If any officer or significant member is absent, you may want to briefly state the names of those absent after your welcome message.  You may invite other present members to make apologies on behalf of additional absent attendees, as well. Make a formal motion to accept the apologies. Verify that everyone has received a copy of the meetings from last year's AGM. Review these minutes and, when all issues are addressed, move to formally accept the minutes.  If there are any amendments or corrections that need to be made, they must be made before the minutes are accepted. After voting to accept the minutes, the chairperson will need to sign off on them. Topics that are related to the minutes from your previous AGM should be addressed immediately after those minutes are accepted. Discuss the matters as needed. This is usually a time to present concerns and observations, so formal motions may not be necessary. You will need to discuss the president's or chair-person's report, the secretary's report, and the treasurer's report.  Read and discuss each report one by one. After each report has been reviewed thoroughly, you should make a formal motion to...

TL;DR in English: Take minutes. Welcome the attendees. Make any necessary apologies. Review the previous meeting minutes. Introduce any new matters. Review the reports. Go through any elections. Discuss general business. Set a date for the next meeting. Close the meeting.

Place into a large bowl. Put to one side for 15 minutes. Pour the activated yeast mixture in, along with the oil, yogurt and egg. Stir together to combine into a soft dough. Place the dough onto the surface. Using clean hands, knead the dough for about 10 minutes. It is ready when smooth and elastic to the touch. Cover with plastic food wrap (oiled lightly) or a clean tea towel. Set to one side in a warm place, allowing it to rise. Leave for around 45 minutes. It is ready when it has doubled in size. Put three heavy baking sheets or trays into the oven, to warm them. Flour the work surface lightly again. Place the dough onto the surface, then divide into three evenly sized balls or pieces. Cover two of the balls or pieces in lightly oiled plastic wrap and set aside while you work on the first ball or piece. Aim for a shape somewhat akin to a teardrop or pear. The thickness to aim for is around 5 to 8mm (1/2 to 1/3 inch), with the length approximately 25cm (10 inches) and the width approximately 13xm/5 inches wide. Remove the baking sheets or trays from the oven while using oven mitts. Place the naan on the hot sheet or tray, then bake for 3 to 4 minutes. Place until the hot grill just for a few seconds. It should brown slightly, then it's done. Cooked naans should be wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep warm. Spread melted butter or ghee or some favorite edible oil on the naans and serve with the main meal. Naan is always best served warm. Naan can be torn or cut into halves or quarters for sharing.

TL;DR in English: Sift together the flour and salt. Add the yeast to the lukewarm milk in a separate small bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and salt mix. Flour a work surface lightly. Place the worked dough into a lightly oiled large bowl. Preheat the oven to 230ºC/450ºF/Gas 8. Punch the dough down. Roll out the first ball or piece. Preheat the grill on high. Remove from the oven when it has puffed up. Repeat for each remaining ball or piece of dough. Serve immediately.

Estrogen is metabolized and filtered by the liver, but high levels of alcohol can decrease liver function. When liver function decreases, estrogen levels can increase.[citation needed]  If you have borderline high estrogen levels, limit your alcohol consumption to one glass per day or less. If you are already experiencing estrogen dominance, however, cut alcohol out of your diet completely. Alcohol contains estrogen-like substances (phytoestrogens) derived from the plants that are used to make the alcohol.  Such substances have been found to act as estrogens in mice and humans. Roughly 80 percent of estrogens acquired through diet come from cow's milk and dairy products made with cow's milk.[citation needed] Opt for non-dairy milk products, like almond milk or rice milk, instead.  Cows are often milked during pregnancy, when their estrogen levels are highest, which is why cow's milk can contain such high doses of estrogen. When you do consume dairy, choose helpful dairy sources. Yogurt can be especially beneficial since it contains probiotics. Caffeine, fat, and sugar can all increase estrogen levels in the body, so you should limit these foods as much as possible. For instance, even one cup of regular coffee can increase estrogen levels.[citation needed] Drinking up to four cups a day can raise your estrogen levels by as much as 70 percent.[citation needed] Soy contains plant compounds called "isoflavones" that mimic estrogen, so if you have high estrogen levels in your body, consuming unfermented soy can aggravate the estrogen's effects. Unfermented soy products include tofu and soy milk. Red meat can contain hormone additives, and these additives can boost estrogen levels in your body or behave like estrogen in the body.[citation needed] When you do eat meat, look for meat labeled as “organic” or “natural.” Consuming this meat will still cause you to consume the estrogen left over from the animal's natural stores, but you will not consume any abnormally excessive amounts of estrogen this way.

TL;DR in English: Consume less alcohol. Limit your dairy intake. Cut down on junk food. Avoid unfermented soy products. Consume less red meat.

Nose piercings should be cleaned twice a day - once in the morning and once in the evening - until they are fully healed. Cleaning your piercing too little may cause it to become dirty and infected while over-cleaning your piercing can lead to irritation and delayed healing. The simplest way to clean your piercing it to use a salt solution. To make a salt solution, mix 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt in 8 oz. (1 cup) of warm water. Alternatively, you can buy a packaged sterile saline solution from a store. Before you touch your piercing, it is essential that you thoroughly wash your hands with antibacterial soap. Otherwise, bacteria from your hands could come in contact with the piercing (which is essentially an open wound) and cause an infection. Grab a clean cotton ball and dip it into the salt solution. Gently press the cotton ball against your nose piercing and hold it there for 3 or 4 minutes. Be careful when removing the cotton ball in case it gets caught in the nose ring or stud. After cleaning, gently pat the area around your piercing dry with a clean cotton ball, a tissue or some paper towel. Avoid using a towel to do this, as towels can harbor bacteria and snag on the ring or stud. If you see any crusting develop over the piercing, resist the urge to remove it. The crust is your body's way of protecting the piercing. Lavender oil lubricates the piercing, reducing tenderness and promoting healing. After cleaning, apply a little lavender oil to the piercing using a lint-free cloth.  Twist the stud or rotate the ring to get the oil inside the piercing, then wipe away any excess with a clean tissue (otherwise it could irritate the skin). Lavender oil can be found at health food stores, at the supermarket or at the chemist's. Make sure the bottle is labeled "BP" or "medicinal grade". Avoid using any material with fibers that can get caught in the piercing. This includes cotton swabs, cotton balls, tissues, and toilet paper.

TL;DR in English:


a man, you should be careful not to get too close to your partner. If you are a woman, you should be careful not to get too close to your partner. If you are a man, you

Use confident body language. Keep your body hair trim. Make the room more comfortable. Laugh. Let your partner touch you.

Add ⅔ cup (165 g) of whole-milk yogurt, 1 finely grated clove of garlic, 2 teaspoons (30 ml) of fresh lemon juice, ½ teaspoon (3 ½ g) of honey, and 3 ounces (85 g) of crumbled blue cheese to a medium bowl. Stir the ingredients together well with a spoon, making sure to break up the cheese. Don't use Greek yogurt in this recipe. Plain yogurt is the best option. After you've prepared the yogurt mixture, add some kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. It's a good idea to taste the mixture so you know how much salt and pepper that you want to mix in. Once you've seasoned the yogurt mixture, take the leaves from 2 heads of Little Gem lettuce and place a 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 g) of the mixture in the center of the leaves. Next, use 6 ounces (170 g) of cooked and chopped bacon and the remaining 3 ounces (85 g) of crumbled blue cheese to top all of the lettuce boats. You can use the spoon to spread the yogurt mixture slightly to ensure that it's evenly distributed across the center of the leaves. Once you've filled all of the lettuce boats, arrange them on a serving platter. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (6 g) of finely chopped chives over the lettuce boats for garnish. Add several lemon wedges to the platter so you can squeeze them over the boats when serving. You can omit the chives if you prefer.

TL;DR in English: Combine the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, honey, and half of the blue cheese. Season the yogurt mixture with salt and pepper. Spoon some of the mixture on the lettuce leaves and top with bacon and cheese. Place the boats on a platter with chives and lemon wedges to serve.

There's no one rule about whether or not you should break up in public or in private. It will all depend upon your relationship and your boyfriend's personality. Even so, it's usually best not to break up with him in a place where he'll be humiliated. It's not a great idea to break up in a place that is totally isolated, just in case things get scary. Remember that even if you believe your boyfriend would never hurt you, people can act in surprising ways when they are hurt or embarrassed. Try to choose a place where you can have a private conversation, but where you can easily leave or call for help if needed. A good place might be a public park where you can sit on a bench out of earshot of other people, but where there are other people around. You may want to consider having a friend or an older sibling hang out nearby in case you're worried about how the conversation with your boyfriend will go. Once you and your boyfriend have sat down together, you may want to begin by telling him something kind. Unless he's been terrible to you, there's no reason to be cruel. It may help him to be reassured of the good qualities that he has that brought you together in the beginning. For example, you could say, “You've always been so supportive of me, which I really appreciate,” or “We have an awesome spark, and had a lot of fun together”. You won't want to beat around the bush, though. Make sure that you are direct and that you let your boyfriend know that you are breaking up. Tell him, “I don't want to be in a serious relationship right now, and I want to break up” or “I'm looking for something more out of a relationship, so I don't think we should see each other anymore”. Everyone can see through the “it's not you, it's me” line, so try to find a way to clearly explain to your boyfriend why you want to end things without insulting his intelligence.  Of course, it is possible that you want to break up not because of anything he's done but because you've realized you want something else (in which case it really is you,...

TL;DR in English: Choose the right place to break up. Avoid really private locations. Bring back-up if needed. Consider beginning by saying something kind. Avoid sugar-coating it. Avoid using the obvious break-up cliches. Be prepared to listen to your boyfriend. Keep it quick. Be firm and clear.

Soak a washcloth in hot water, then wring it out so that it’s just damp. Next, press the warm washcloth over your ingrown hair for up to 15 minutes. Repeat this up to 4 times a day, as needed. This will help the hair rise to the surface. You can also use a hot water bottle as a warm compress. Wet the area around the ingrown hair with warm water. Then, apply soap to your fingers and gently massage the hair for 10-15 seconds. Finally, rinse the area with warm water to wash away the soap. The gentle massage and heat from the water may draw the hair out. An exfoliator can remove the dead skin cells that cover the ingrown hair, which might help it surface. Rub your exfoliator over the area, then let it sit for 10 minutes. Next, wet the exfoliator with warm water and gently rub it into your skin as you rinse it off. Here are some natural exfoliators you can use:  Make a paste with 1/2 cup (110 grams) of brown or white sugar and about 3 tablespoons (44 mL) of olive oil. Mix 3 tablespoons (15 grams) of used coffee grounds with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of olive oil. Mix 3 tablespoons (38 grams) of salt with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of olive oil. Mix 1 teaspoon (6 grams) of baking soda with just enough water to make a paste. For stubborn ingrown hairs, you might use prescription retinoids to remove the top layer of your skin cells. This usually causes the hair to surface. Talk to your doctor to find out if this is an option for you. Then, use your topical treatment as directed. You can only get retinoids by prescription.

TL;DR in English: Apply a warm compress for 15 minutes to draw out the hair. Massage soap and warm water over the ingrown hair for 10-15 seconds. Apply a natural exfoliator for 10 minutes to remove dead skin cells. Ask your doctor about retinoids to remove the top layer of skin.

Without clothes to distract, or send a particular message, the way you carry yourself is vitally important to being comfortable and confident in your own skin. Even if you aren't feeling confident, faking it can help trick yourself into feeling more confident.  Have good posture. Stand or sit up straight to make yourself appear taller. Keep your chin up and shoulders relaxed for a confident pose. These are good tips when dressed, too, but even more important when it is harder to hide yourself with clothing.  Smile. A friendly face can project confidence in yourself, which is always more attractive to the other person.  Look forward and maintain eye contact. This can create a strong connection with your partner. Additionally, it will subconsciously force them to look at your eyes rather than other parts of your body. If you're still a bit nervous about being naked around another person, this can help keep their eyes from wandering too much. You may be comfortable letting your body hair grow wild, but your partner may disagree. Long, unkempt body hair can be unpleasant to look at, and another person will probably like touching it even less. Besides, if you want your partner to touch you, it should be skin, not hair, that gets grabbed.  Armpit hair. This is a common part of your body for sweat, and trimming it can reduce sweating. It's better not to shave it all off, but keep it trim and don't allow it to grow too wild. Chest hair. If you are an athlete, this can be a reasonable part of your body to keep clean of hair. Shave slowly, and use an electric razor to get rid of any remaining stubble. You may also consider  waxing. Otherwise, an electric trimmer can help you maintain a masculine look (if that's what you are going for). Back hair is generally considered less attractive. If you don't like having it, this is a good part of your body to have waxed, as it can hurt less. Plus, it's hard to shave a part of your body you can't easily see. Genital hair. Like your chest and armpits, it is unusual for a man to be...

TL;DR in English:


Talk to your child honestly about sexual health and contraception. Help your daughter stay healthy while feeling good about her body. Give her strategies to say no to drugs and alcohol.

The Battle Dome, located in the top left corner of the Battle Frontier, is a large hall that hosts battling tournaments. Trainers enter these tournaments with hope of becoming the Dome Champion. In this facility, you select 3 Pokémon for the challenge and 2 Pokémon for each battle. In each challenge, you face off against 15 other Trainers in a tournament-like fashion. In order to clear one set at the Battle Dome, you need to win 4 matches. Before each match, you can check the tournament tree to see who the other Trainers are, their Pokémon, as well as their battling style. The Battle Dome tests how well you function as a strategist. The Frontier Brain of the Battle Dome is known as Tucker, the Dome Ace. He is encountered after the 20th and 40th wins in a streak. This means that for the Silver challenge, Tucker will be the final Trainer of the 5th consecutive championship win. For the Gold challenge, he will be the final Trainer of the 10th consecutive championship win. Once defeated, he will award you the Tactics Symbol.

TL;DR in English: Know your facility. Defeat Tucker.

Look at your birth plan and see what you items you need to help make your delivery as comfortable as possible. Make sure to pack a bag a few weeks before your delivery in case you go into labor early. Some items you might want to have are:  A copy of your birth plan Music, videos, or reading material Comfortable clothing and footwear Scented lotion or massage oil Pillows Once you’ve finalized your birth plan and your due date approaches, give a copy of it to anyone who will be involved in the birth. This can help ensure that everyone involved in your birth understands your wishes and can accommodate them and any emergencies in a manner you like.  Let your healthcare providers know you want as natural a birth as possible in the hospital. Make sure family members have copies of your plan, too. Even if you don’t want them in the delivery room, it may be good for them to have an idea of your wishes so they can be your advocates during your delivery. If you have a nurse midwife or physician scheduled to deliver your baby, suggest that your doula or birth advocate meet her prior to the delivery. This gives you all a chance to discuss any expectations or particulars about your delivery and can prevent conflict or tension when you are in labor.  This can be an important step if you chose a doula or birth attendant who hasn’t met your doctor or healthcare provider. Ask your advocate to help defend your decisions during delivery as long as they maintain the safety of you and your baby. This can prevent interruptions during your labor and after birth and keep medical staff interferences to a minimum. As you enter the hospital to give birth, remind the staff that you’ve planned a natural birth. Some facilities immediately begin physical checks and examinations to determine the progression of labor simply through habit and may forget or not know your wishes.  Be aware that if you are considered high-risk, you may require examinations or other procedures that aren’t a part of your plan. Let your doula or midwife advocate...

TL;DR in English: Pack a bag ahead of time. Provide copies of your birth plan to everyone involved in the birth. Meet with your doctor and birth attendant before you go into labor. Remind the hospital staff of your wishes when you’re admitted.

The valves are usually located just above the base points that extend from the ground. Use a clockwise or tightening motion to turn them off. They are plastic or resin and they cover the hot metal valves. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the valves even further. Use the wrench to tighten the nuts at the top of the valve. If you do, you will need to remove them and replace them with a regular cap to turn them off.  Use the caps that came with your radiator or use caps from a nearby radiator if they will only be used for a short time. Screw the caps on tight by hand and then with an adjustable wrench.

TL;DR in English: Turn the valves off on either side of the radiator. Remove the caps from the top of these valves. See if you have thermostatic radiator valves that take the temperature of the room and turn on and off automatically.

While you may feel that puberty is too early for your child to start thinking about sex, it is likely that they will hear about it from friends, television, movies, or social media. Make sure that your daughter has accurate information about sex by discussing it openly. Answer any questions she has and encourage her to ask about anything she wants to know. Be sure to discuss safe sex measures, contraception, peer pressure, and health risks with your child as part of a complete talk about sex. Weight gain during or after puberty is common for girls as their metabolism changes. Assure your daughter that this possible weight gain is a normal part of her development and nothing to feel insecure about. Emphasize the importance of nutritious eating as well as exercise to stay healthy, regardless of what she weighs.  Talk to your daughter about eating disorders to acknowledge that some weight control behaviours are dangerous and unhealthy. Assert that sugary or processed junk foods are bad for her because they lack nutrients that she needs to be healthy, as opposed to stressing their calorie content. Stock your kitchen with healthy snacks for your daughter to enjoy. Peer pressure can start early among preteens so it is best to prepare your daughter as early as possible. Talk to her openly and honestly about drugs and alcohol and answer any questions that she may have. Give her some practical examples of how to deal with pressure to try these substances, such as:  Stating a specific reason for saying no, such as not wanting to smoke because you have asthma. Speaking firmly and clearly to get the message across. Removing herself from a situation if she feels pressured to do something she doesn't want to do. Calling home to be picked up if the situation gets out of control. Spending time with friends who choose not to use drugs and alcohol.

TL;DR in English:


Do your research. Protect your identity. Avoid upfront payments and fees. Watch out for pyramid schemes. Demand a contract. Look for official job postings.

Talk assertively and with assurance, and tell the bully to stop harassing you and to leave you alone. Practice this skill in the mirror if you want to be extra convincing. When addressing a bully, it helps to be loud and firm, and look the bully in the eye.  Say something like, “No, stop it!” or “Hey, why don’t you just leave me alone!” Telling the bully to stop harassing you will also draw attention to the situation. If you can’t shake the bully, you might be able to convince the people watching not to be bystanders. Discharge and redirect the tension that’s feeding a potential fight by changing the subject to something else. You might crack a non-threatening joke or ask a question. Try to keep it relevant to your interactions; you don’t want your tactic to appear too obvious. Say something like:  “I heard Mr. Peterson was going to supervise recess today. You better leave; you don’t want him to catch you here.” “I heard the cafeteria is giving out free tacos with lunch. You’d better hurry if you want to get any.” Afterwards, tell a responsible adult that you were bullied and describe what happened. Some bullies can be talked down from a fight. Say something that might deter them from attacking you, or that can draw bystanders’ attention to the bully’s unfair actions. Remember to be assertive and make lots of eye contact. If they don’t seem to listen, you need to walk away. Make sure to tell a responsible adult about it. Try saying something like:  “Why are you picking on me? This really isn’t fair.” “What do you want? I don’t want to fight you.” If all else fails, you might appeal to their ego to avoid a fight: “Everyone knows you’ll beat me easily if we fight.” Do not become angry or upset, no matter what bullies do or say. Bullies thrive on getting a dramatic response out of their victims, and will do things to make you upset or angry. If you avoid responding in these ways, the bully will soon realize that they have nothing to gain by harassing you. Do not make angry outbursts or cry when bullied. Either...

TL;DR in English: Speak to your bully with confidence. Change the subject to distract the bully. Persuade your bully to back down and leave you alone. Stay calm and collected while being bullied.

Use a basic ballpoint pen that has a cap for the easiest results. Grab the tip of the pen and try pulling it out or unscrewing it from the tube. Remove the ink chamber from inside the pen so you have an empty tube to use as your coil gun’s barrel. Start your coil about 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) from the closed end of pen tube. Make sure the coils are tightly wrapped and don’t overlap. Continue wrapping the wire around the pen until 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) are covered with the wire.  The copper wire may also be called magnet wire when you buy it from a hardware store. Don’t cut the wire when you’re finished with the first layer since you’ll use it to make additional layers later on. Once you have your first layer of wires completed, wrap electrical tape around them to hold them in place. Cover all of the wires, but leave the last coil exposed so you can continue wrapping other layers.  If you don’t have electrical tape, you can use clear tape or duct tape instead. Make sure there aren’t lumps in the tape or else it will be more difficult to coil the next layer. Continue using the wire you used for your first layer and coil it back toward your starting point. Make sure the wire is still going in the same direction around the pen or else the gun won’t work. Wrap the wire back and forth, putting electrical tape between each layer, until you’ve completed 7 or 8 layers of wire. You can make more layers of wire if you want, but 7-8 should be enough to shoot a projectile.

TL;DR in English: Take apart a ballpoint pen so you can use the tube. Wrap 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) of the tube in a single layer of 30-gauge copper wire. Place a layer of electrical tape over the coiled wires. Make 7-8 more layers of wires to make your coil gun stronger.

Your seating position and center of gravity make a huge difference in how the kart handles. Sit back in the seat and try to relax your body. Don't lean forward or bounce the kart by fidgeting or jumping in the seat.  Go karts don't have seatbelts, but they do have bucket seats that will support you while you drive. Don't worry about holding yourself in the seat. If you find that your arms are getting tired after driving, that might mean you're holding yourself up with your arms. Try to relax into the seat while you drive! You should hold the steering wheel near where 9 and 3 appear on a clock face. Some prefer higher or lower (as high as 10 and 2 or as low as 8 and 4). Make sure your hands are symmetrically placed on the kart steering wheel.  Don't grip the wheel too tight. Firm and steady is the way to go to keep your wrists flexible and quick. Never use your shoulders to steer. Try to consistently use the same hand placement. Familiar positioning will help yourself react instinctively and stay in the zone. Once you receive the signal to go it may be tempting to mash down on the accelerator, but this isn't always best. Jamming the accelerator from a standstill can cause the wheels to spin rather than effectively grip the surface. You'll need to get the feel for your kart.  If your kart wheels spin when you jam the accelerator, ease back and try to learn the sweet spot of maximum acceleration. Weather, track, and tire conditions have a major effect too. Be sure to adjust. If your kart can tolerate jamming the accelerator without losing traction, go for it! It almost sounds counter intuitive to steer less, but any deviation from a straight line compromises acceleration. Try to plot your driving and turning to involve as little steering and braking as possible. The straighter your overall course and the smoother your turns are, the faster you'll go! While you'll have a general idea of the lines you want to take from evaluating the course prior to racing, sometimes you need to switch things up. As you get used...

TL;DR in English: Sit correctly in your kart. Maintain a consistent hold on the steering wheel. Use controlled acceleration. Steer as little as possible. Experiment with different lines. Take track notes.

Anytime you begin interacting with a potential employer, spend some time researching them to figure out whether or not they’re legitimate. Here are some good ways to conduct this research:  Run a Google search on the potential employer’s name or company name to see if anyone has had any problems with them. Ask about their track record through your state’s Attorney General’s office. Search for the employer on the Better Business Bureau’s website to see if anyone has registered complaints about them. You should avoid giving out any sensitive personal or financial information online or over the phone, especially if you’re asked to do so as part of a job application process. In most cases, legitimate employers will not ask you to do this. Avoid any potential employer that asks you to pay an application fee, that requires you to pay for a training course before you’re offered an actual job, or that promises you commissions in exchange for transferring money for them through your bank account. Each of these scenarios is likely a scam designed to steal your money. Pyramid schemes will ask you to join a company or pay money into a company in exchange for the chance to make more money when new participants join or pay into the program in the future. These schemes are often scams, so play it safe by steering clear of them altogether. If a potential employer does not provide a contract to finalize an employment agreement, it may be a scam. Do not enter into agreements or share information with potential employers who refuse to offer you a formal contract. If you’ve received an email about a possible job opportunity that you didn’t previously know about or apply for, it may be a good idea to do some online research to see whether or not the company has issued a legitimate job posting. This can help determine the validity of the job offer.

TL;DR in English:
