Employ a multidimensional approach in diagnosing the patient. Recommend treatment for the patient. Finish by documenting the patient's understanding of the treatment.

Many people are naturally introverted, and simply need time to recharge after social interaction. If you suffer from depression or social anxiety, however, you may consider seeking help.  Introversion is perfectly normal. Introverted personality types tend to draw their mental energy from being alone, whereas extroverted personality types tend to draw their energy from time spent with people. Give yourself time and space. Do what you need to do in order to feel balanced. If you aren't sure whether you're introverted, or you'd like to explore your personality further, consider taking a personality test like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Be aware that while personality tests may give you insight into yourself, they may not give you the whole picture. Social anxiety disorder, or social phobia, can lead people suffer from extreme shyness and fear social interactions like meeting new people, speaking to others, or social events. This fear may focus on being judged or scrutinized by others about how you look, what you say, or what you assume people are thinking about you. If you think that you might be suffering from an anxiety disorder, consider speaking with a counselor or therapist. Depression is characterized by a sad, hopeless mood, along with a loss of interest or pleasure in things that usually interest you. Many people with depression wind up withdrawing from friends, family, and loved ones, but support form these loved ones can be one of the best ways to bounce back from depression. If you feel that you're suffering from depression, tell someone--a friend, a family member, anyone close to you. Consider seeking help from a professional counselor or therapist. The best way to avoid people is to stay home. There are people outside, so don't go outside.  Read a book or watch a movie. Explore the Internet. Play a game. Do whatever strikes your fancy. Consider turning your phone off, or putting it on "silent". Turn off Internet-based chat apps like Facebook Chat, Skype, or Google Messenger. Bear in mind that...

TL;DR in English: Consider why you want to avoid people. Stay Home. Don't be approachable. Go to a remote place.

Your letter may not be taken seriously if it has numerous spelling and grammatical errors. Read through it carefully, then put it aside for a day and look at it again with fresh eyes. When proofreading, start with the last word and move backward to the first, reading each word separately. Mistakes are easier to see that way. If you're writing a letter of consent on behalf of a business or organization, or in your capacity as a representative of a business or organization, it should be on company letterhead. On the other hand, you shouldn't use business letterhead if you are writing the letter for a personal reason. For example, if you're writing a letter of consent for your child to travel abroad, you wouldn't normally put this on business letterhead – even if you own the business. The letter is related to a personal matter, not a business matter. If your signature is witnessed by a notary, it removes doubt that you were indeed the person who signed the letter. No one can argue that your signature was forged or that the letter was signed by someone pretending to be you. A notary does not review your letter or confirm its accuracy. They only verify that you are who you say you are and that your signature is legitimate. For some letters of consent, official documents can provide evidence beyond the letter itself that the information contained in the letter is true and accurate. These may include copies of identification documents or certificates of ownership.   For example, if you're allowing someone to use your car, you may include a copy of the registration or title as proof of ownership. If you're writing a letter of consent for your child to travel internationally, you may include a copy of the child's birth certificate as proof that you are the child's parent and that the child was born in the country you've stated. For permission to use intellectual property, you might include a copy of any copyright, patent, or trademark certificates. The person who receives the letter of consent depends on your purpose...

TL;DR in English: Proofread your letter carefully. Print your letter on official letterhead if appropriate. Sign your letter in the presence of a notary. Attach documents to support information in the letter. Deliver the letter to the appropriate person.

The signs of someone being called names may include sudden social isolation, changes in school habits or even lowered self-esteem. Remember no matter how silly a name is, if it is hurting the person being called that name it is not OK and not a joke. Ignoring name-calling can lead the abused into depression and in some cases even to making a suicide attempt. Some people who are bullied feel like no one cares or even notices their pain. Seeing another person stand up and take notice will help the person not feel isolated and like he or she needs to keep those painful feelings secret.  Children who are bullied and feel hopeless may make attempts to handle the situation on their own that have dire consequences like suicide. Ignoring any name-calling you witness could make the victim feel alone in the bullying and result in serious consequences. Something as simple as “Hey, why don’t you leave him/her alone?” should do the job. It calls attention to the misconduct and tells the bully this person has support. No one needs to feel like they are weak for talking about name calling or being too sensitive. If a child comes to you to talk about a bully calling them names, listen and do not say that the words shouldn’t hurt, which diminishes his or her feelings. It is not up to you to tell anyone else how something should make him feel. The child wouldn’t come to you to talk if it wasn’t hurtful. Reinforce that each child has the right to feel safe and respected. Model this behavior by not only encouraging the kids to talk about bullying but also by taking action to resolve the issue. You can say "If you're being picked on at school, it's important for you to tell someone. You won't get in trouble for telling. In fact, telling someone is really brave." Sometimes the biggest difference in a bully situation is made on the playground with the peer group. Positive peer pressure can go a long way to create a zero tolerance space for bullying. Encourage other students to seek out children who appear lonely and offer...

TL;DR in English: Learn how to spot the signs of a person who is being called names. Call out the bully. Encourage children to talk to someone. Counteract bullying at the school or playground. Help the child restore confidence.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is used to categorize psychiatric diagnoses. However, the format is changing. The new format begins with the "principal diagnosis" and this condition should be followed by the phrase "principal diagnosis" or "reason for visit." Insurance companies may still require the old method, which assesses five dimensions (Axis). Include a diagnosis for each axis:  Axis I: Primary presenting problem (such as major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder). Axis II: Personality disorder (ex: borderline personality disorder) or intellectual disability Axis III: Medical problems (only MDs can diagnose these) Axis IV: Psychosocial and Environmental Problems Axis V: Global assessment of functioning (GAF) is a numerical rating on a scale of 0 - 100 of the client's current functioning with the life stressors he or she presents with. A GAF score of 91-100 means the patient is high functioning and easily managing the stressors in his or her life. A GAF score of 1-10 indicates that the patient is a danger to himself and/or others. Your recommendations should be based on your narrative summary and assessment. Your treatment goals must be measurable with specific time frames for completion.   Compile a list of treatment goals. Examples:reducing risk factors, decreasing functional impairment.  Indicate planned preventions with patient participation. Examples would be anger management, parent training, problem solving. Your assessment should conclude with a statement about the patient's understanding of the course of treatment and its goals. This portion of the assessment shows that the patient is aware of the decided course of treatment and is willing to work with it.  Patients report better outcomes to their treatment when they're in agreement with their practitioners about the course of treatment.  Ensure effective interventions by implementing a negotiations process between patient and mental health care provider.

Find a quiet, secluded area to write. Make your writing area ergonomic. Eliminate distractions around you.

Once the child gets to be about 4-5 years old, you can set up pretend store or restaurant scenarios where you have to pay the child for goods and services. Exchange fake or real money with the child to give them a lesson about working to gain an income. For instance, you can set up a fake hamburger shop and have the child exchange play-dough hamburgers for money. Teach the child that they can’t take things from the store unless they pay for them first. They’ll be able to comprehend this concept somewhere between the ages of 4-6. If the child wants something, explain how much money it costs and whether you can buy it or not.  For instance, if the child picks up a candy bar you can say something like, “We have to pay for that candy bar if you want it. Do you know how much it costs?” You can also say, "Taking something from the store without paying is considered stealing and could get us in trouble!" Ask your child questions before you purchase something to get them thinking about how to save money, such as by asking, “That candy bar costs $0.50 less than this candy bar. Which one do you think we should get?” If the child wants more than one thing, give them a choice between things that have a similar monetary value. This will start to make them more conscious about the value of money and about how much things cost. It will also make them realize that money is limited and that sometimes they can’t have everything. For instance, you can say something like, “You can get 2 pieces of candy that cost $5 or 1 toy that costs $5. You choose.” Set a list of goals that need to be completed around the house and give them a weekly or monthly allowance for completing the goals. Help the child think of things that they want to save for to help motivate them to complete their tasks. This will give help them understand the value of money and the importance of saving.  If the child doesn’t complete the chores, don’t give them the allowance. Chores could include washing the dishes, walking the dog, taking out the garbage,...

TL;DR in English: Play “store” with 4- to 5-year-old children to teach them about income. Teach 4- to 6-year-old children about paying for things. Give children choices based on price. Provide children with an allowance for finishing chores.

4G and 3G are designed to deliver high bandwidth to cellphones; however, the distance between the transmission tower and the cellphone must be within a certain range of each other to be effective. The farther away you are away from one, the weaker the signal is going to be. If it is absolutely important for you that you can be reached for calls and texts, consider switching your phone to a 2G network instead. 2G offers a lower bandwidth than their newer counterparts but in turn you will have decent coverage in most places, especially where 3G/4G signals can't penetrate very well.  Imagine in between dense housing or enclosed spaces. Because of the lower data rate, 2G signals are able to get to hard to reach places. The only downside is that your internet connection won't be as fast. At any rate it is perfectly usable for calling and texting. To top it all off, your battery will not drain as fast since 2G doesn't require that much power. Consult your manuals of your phone on how to enable 2G networks. A new category of Smart Signal Booster is emerging. This new category of boosters utilizes super-powerful baseband processors to clean the signal before it is rebroadcast (hence the "Smart" in the name Smart Signal Booster). Most of the Smart Signal Boosters have gains of 100db (compared to analog booster's gain of 63 to 70db).  That's a 1,000 times to 2,500 times difference. Some of these new boosters, while more expensive than the traditional analog booster, are completely plug and play: you plug them, and they usually work right away without the need for complex installation of outdoor antennas (usually the donor antenna is inside the booster box).  Truly plug and play, they can be used with almost any carrier, require no installation and actually work. Most of the time, Smart Signal Boosters are carrier-specific (i.e. you need to get the one that works for your carrier). If you are having cell problems in one location, such as your home or office, then try installing a cellular repeater. Cell phone repeaters...

TL;DR in English: Try switching to a 2G network. Utilize a Smart Signal Booster. Install a cellular repeater. Upgrade your antenna. Change networks. Host a cell site.

When used properly, a menstrual cup may be the best option for exercising during your period. These cups are reusable, and they can stay in place for up to twelve hours.  Menstrual cups are ideal if you are doing endurance training, running a marathon, or hiking. Menstrual cups may move around during yoga, however. Once a menstrual cup is in, you should feel no discomfort, but some people may struggle with placing the cup. If you don’t have a menstrual cup, buy a box of tampons instead.  Tampons are not comfortable for everyone during exercise, however. If you find that you can’t exercise with a tampon in, try another method instead. "Sport" tampons are designed for workouts. You can try using these if normal tampons are uncomfortable while you exercise. If you have a heavy flow, you may need more protection. Use a pantyliner in addition to a menstrual cup or tampon. Put a new one in your undies just before exercising. Pads may cause uncomfortable chafing as you exercise. They can also scrunch up as you exercise, giving you less protection than you may need. If tampons and menstrual cups don't work for you, however, pads may be your only option. The underwear should be made out of a breathable fabric such as cotton. Underwear with more coverage will be more comfortable and prevent more leaks than a thinner type, such as a thong. You can even invest in a pair of period-proof underwear, such as Thinx. These can be worn in addition to or instead of a tampon or menstrual cup. Pants and shirts that are too tight might cause discomfort, especially if you’re experiencing cramps, constipation, or bloating. Instead, choose looser clothing. Make sure that your pants are dark, just in case there’s a leak!  For example, instead of tight leggings, wear loose sweatpants to the gym. A cotton t-shirt or tank top is perfect, especially if you don’t tolerate heat well on your period.

TL;DR in English: Try using a  menstrual cup. Insert a new tampon just before exercising. Apply a pantyliner if you’re prone to leaks. Use pads if you can't use tampons or menstrual cups. Choose boy shorts or hipster underwear. Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing.

Choose a writing spot that is in a quiet, secluded area in your home. This could be a desk in your bedroom, a table in your living room, or a secluded spot in your school library. Go for a spot that has little to no foot traffic and is barely used by others. You may set up an area to write if you do not already have access to a table or a desk. Set up a desk in your bedroom that is for writing only or put a table in the basement of your home and use it as your writing spot. To ensure your writing area is comfortable, make it ergonomic. Get a desk chair that supports your lower back. Adjust your desk chair so your feet can lie flat comfortably on the floor and your lower back is straight. If you are typing on a computer, make sure the monitor is 20 to 40 inches (50-100 centimeters) from your face. The monitor should be eye level and you should be able to see the screen without having to squint or strain your eyes. You should also make sure your keyboard is at the right height so your wrists are not strained when you type. Keep your mouse near your keyboard so you can reach it easily. One of the biggest hinderance to writing is getting distracted by things and people around you. Turn off your cellphone or switch it to silent so you are not distracted by phone calls or text messages. Keep your door closed and wear noise cancelling headphones, especially if it is noisy around you.  You may also shut off your internet connection so you are not distracted by social media or online news. Restricting yourself to certain websites can be helpful if you need resources like an online dictionary. If you live with other people, let them know you are writing and that you are not be disturbed.

Make a chain. Round 1. Round 2. Round 3. Round 4. Check your gauge. Round 5. Round 6. Rounds 7, 8 and 9. Round 10. Round 11. Round 12. Round 13. Round 14. Round 15. Round 16. Finish.

Sending text after text, especially when you have not even received a response to the first one, will get on the other person's nerves pretty fast. Give them time to respond. Blowing up your friend's phone might seem innocent enough—until you find out later that she was at a funeral and that's why she did not respond right away. Repeatedly texting a crush can ruin a romance before it even begins. If you've sent 2 texts and your crush did not answer either of them, they may be trying to tell you they are uninterested. Adding your circle of friends or multiple family members to a group text just to share unimportant information will definitely annoy them. Other group members then chime in and suddenly everyone is getting a constant stream of pointless notifications! If you have something super brief to share that doesn't require a response, it might be okay occasionally, but otherwise, avoid group texting! Habitually texting incredibly lengthy or detailed messages irritates others and they may stop reading your texts altogether. If you have something important to say, call them or ask to meet up with them! Keep your texts short, sweet, and to the point. Writing text "novels" might be especially annoying for your crush or someone you went on 1 date with. People really don't like it when you send out a mass text on a Friday night that says, "What's going on this weekend?" or "What are you up to tonight?" A mass text like, "So what movie should I watch tonight?" is also pretty annoying. Mass texts are always super obvious and they feel really impersonal. If you do send out mass texts, you may notice that you get fewer and fewer responses over time. If you called your friend and it went to voicemail, just leave a voicemail! Don't follow up your voicemail with a text that says, "Check your voicemail" or "Hey, I'm trying to get in touch with you." If they did not answer your call, they probably are not going to answer your text. Give them time to respond. It's okay to be eager to talk to someone! Just try not to overdo it.

TL;DR in English: Do not send more than 1 or 2 texts if you have not gotten a response. Avoid group texting unless there is a real reason to do it. Keep your texts relatively brief. Do not send out mass texts to fish for ideas or things to do. Avoid texting to inform someone that you just left them a voicemail.

The acid is necessary to break down the fibers in kale so that it is tender and easy to chew. Creamy dressings like ranch or blue cheese might seem like a good idea because kale is so substantial, but they will leave your salad too chewy. This is one of the most common dressings for kale salads. It pairs particularly well with strong cheeses like pecorino or parmesan. Here are the standard ingredients:  1/2 cup shallots, finely chopped (about 1 large shallot) 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon) 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil Fresh ground black pepper and salt to taste Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, then add the olive oil and wisk to combine.  Use different types of vinegar (apple, rice, balsamic) to make a slightly sweeter dressing. Replace the oil with 2 teaspoons of honey for a sweeter, less tart dressing.  Replace the oil with 1.5 tablespoons of Dijon mustard for a dressing with a little more kick. Miso is an inexpensive ingredient made from fermented soybeans. Look for it in the refrigerated section in grocery stores. It will produce a thicker, creamier dressing, like this tahini maple dressing:  1/4 cup tahini 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar 2 teaspoons white miso 2 teaspoons maple syrup pinch of red pepper flakes 1/4 cup water Add water last and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If your dressing is too thick, add more water or vinegar, to taste. Replacing lemon with lime and lime zest will make for a milder dressing with more of a southwestern flavor. Adding brown sugar or white sugar can make for a sweeter dressing.

TL;DR in English: Use a dressing with a lot of acid like lemon juice or vinegar. Try a lemon shallot vinaigrette. Stir to combine the shallots, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper. Try using miso to create a creamier dressing. Whisk together the tahini, vinegar, miso, maple syrup and red pepper flakes. Try substituting ingredients for different flavor profiles.

Hire a live band, slack key guitarist or ukulele player who specializes in Hawaiian music. If live music isn't in your budget, play a Hawaiian music CD or stream Hawaiian music on your computer.  Select traditional Hawaiian themed wedding music. Rather than play the Wedding March, play the Hawaiian Wedding Song as the bride and groom enter the reception. Hire a hula dancer to teach traditional hula dancing to reception guests. Hula dancers can teach guests a few basic hula moves, which will add elements of culture and recreation to the reception.

TL;DR in English: Choose Hawaiian music to set the mood at the wedding reception.

Follow this link for a review of how to crochet a chain.This hat is made by crocheting in rounds.  Each round begins with a number of chains that will count as the first stitch and ends by joining the last stitch with the top of the beginning chain.  This creates concentric circles. Ch 3, 9 double crochet (dc) into ring, join with sl st to top of ch 3. You should have 10 sts. A double crochet stitch is twice as high as a single crochet and creates a firm, substantial stitch.  Follow this link for a review of how to do a double crochet. Ch 2, dc into same st, 2 dc in each st around, join with sl st to top of ch 2. Now you should have 20 sts.

Sometimes, particularly if you have a vintage Ford, you may have a hard time finding a manufacturer’s label or a VIN number. Fortunately, there are numerous websites that allow you to search for Ford color codes using basic information about your vehicle.  Do a web search for something like “car color code library” or “auto paint code database.” You can also do a more specific search, like “1949 Ford paint color codes.” Sites like AutoColorLibrary.com or PaintRef.com are good places to start. Websites for Ford enthusiasts, such as MustangAttitude.com, are also great resources for finding color codes. Depending on the format of the color code database you are using, you may be able to narrow your search by selecting the year, make, and model of your Ford. In other cases, you may simply be able to browse a list of color codes for each year. For example, here is a site that allows you to search using criteria such as manufacturer, model, year, and color class (e.g., beige, red, or blue): http://color-online.glasurit.com/CCC/new/index.php. Once you’ve narrowed down the year, make, and model of your car, examine the list of “chips” or swatches to see which one is the best match for your car. For example, if you have a 1977 Ford F150 truck in a pale green color, the color is likely to be “Ford Light Jade Metallic,” for which the color code is 7L. Sometimes it can be hard to pin down the color of a car, especially if it’s a very old vehicle or the original paint is damaged, faded, or modified. Ask around on communities such as FordForum.com if you’re having trouble narrowing down the most likely color matches.

TL;DR in English: Do a search for an online paint color library. Enter the year and make of your vehicle. Examine the list of colors in use that year and find the best match. Check with a vehicle enthusiast forum if you can’t find a good match.

Be sure to wear a face mask, safety glasses, and industrial gloves to avoid breathing in the fumes released by the burning plastic. Use steel tongs to turn over the burning circuit boards. Break the boards into smaller pieces so they burn faster. Pour a bit of gasoline over the pieces to put the pieces on fire. Turn the burning pieces over using steel tongs, and wait until the boards are burnt black. Allow the pieces to cool down a little—just warm enough so you can touch them, but not too cooled down that the plastic hardens again. The burning process should have made the board materials brittle and easy to break. To be safe, wear protective gloves when breaking off the plastic.

TL;DR in English: Get protective gear. Get a metal bin or tray, and put the circuit boards into it. Light the boards on fire. Put out the fire. Break off the pieces of plastic attached to the gold parts.

Horses require between 5-15 gallons of water per day. If possible, make sure that your horse has access to water at all times. Otherwise, make sure that you water your horse at least twice per day and allow several minutes for your horse to drink. Make sure that the water in your horse’s trough is clean and not frozen. Keep the trough clean as well by hosing it out every day. Structural carbohydrates, like hay and grass, are essential to a horse’s diet. Horses eat large quantities of hay and grass as their main source of food. In fact, horses should eat about 15-20 pounds or 1-2% of their body weight in hay every day, so make sure that your horse always has plenty of hay to chew on. Make sure that the hay you feed your horse is free of mold and dust. Nonstructural carbohydrates, like oats, corn, and barley, are also essential to a horse’s nutrition. Provide small amounts of grain to your horse throughout the day. Every day, horses can also have ½ pound of grain per 100 pounds of body weight. Feed grain to your horse in two or three evenly spaced feedings during the day.  Make sure to measure the portions that you feed your horse to make sure that you are giving her the correct amount.  If the weather is hot, feed grain to your horse during the cooler hours of the day, such as early in the morning and later in the evening. Although your horse will get most of its calories from hay and grass, you should feed your horse some fortified feed each day to help meet any nutritional gaps. Protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals are important parts of your horse’s nutrition, but they are not required in large amounts. If you think your horse is not getting all of the necessary vitamins and minerals from feed, then you can supplement with special vitamins for horses. Just be careful not to overload your horse with too many vitamins. An excess of vitamins can cause problems just like a deficiency of vitamins can. Giving treats to your horse when you want to reward her is a great way to bond with your horse as well. Just...

You’ll get the best results using a wood bore or spade bit with a flared tip. Compare the width of the bit with the diameter of your ring finger for reference. It should be just slightly narrower than your finger.  The pointed tip of the drill bit will mark the placement of the finger hole, while the angled corners bore out the outer edges of the ring. To be certain that the ring will come out the right size, take one of your own rings and slide the bit inside. It should be able to fit without touching. Situate the wood widthwise so that the dot you made to mark the finger hole is facing upwards, then twist the hand crank or dial clockwise to tighten the clamps. This will help hold the blank in place so you can concentrate on drilling.   If you don't have access to a vice or C-clamp, try using a pair of pliers to grip the outermost edge of the wood.  Under no circumstances should you attempt to hold the blank by hand. Position the tip of the bit over the dot in the center of the wood and turn on the drill. Apply a modest amount of pressure—you don’t want to drill all the way through just yet. Stop drilling when you’ve opened up a small hole with a shallow circle carved around it. Drilling straight through a piece of wood with a spade bit can result in splintering. Remove the blank from the vice or clamp, flip it over, and resecure it. Double check that the drill bit tip is aligned with the hole. Then, repeat the drilling process from the opposite side, guiding the drill steadily until it bores the rest of the way through. By drilling halfway through the blank at a time, you can minimize the risk of chipping or breaking your materials. Switch on your Dremel tool and insert the rotary head into the hole to buff the surface that will rest against your finger. You can also touch it up with a folded square of sandpaper. The inner face should be totally smooth, with no visible points or edges that could scratch you.  If you take the manual approach, start with a medium-grit sandpaper (around 80 grit) and follow it...

TL;DR in English: Select a drill bit slightly narrower than your ring finger. Secure the blank in a vice or C-clamp. Drill halfway through the blank. Turn the blank over and finish drilling the hole. Sand the inside of the finger hole.

When you are near a cat that you are friendly with (e.g. your own, or a close friend's cat) wait for it to approach you. Even cats that are normally friendly have days when they do not wish to be disturbed. Wait for it to demonstrate signs of affection (e.g. rubbing up against your leg) before greeting it. To properly greet a friendly cat, move to an area where you can settle in to pet, play, or cuddle the cat. Move away from the doorway, which could provide an unplanned exit for an excited cat. A cat will develop positive associations with whatever happy greeting spot you choose. Sit or kneel on the ground to allow the cat to greet you on its own level. The cat may want to rub its nose on you, which is a bonding exercise and a sign of affection. Your cat may also be comfortable greeting you from a high spot (e.g. the top of the couch, a tall windowsill). If the cat wants to rub its nose on you, don't let it rub it's nose on your face on the first meeting, as this can be dangerous for you if the cat gets upset. Once a cat is comfortable with you, feel free to pet it gently. Start with the back and neck, spots that most cats enjoy being pet. Avoid petting the cat's tail, which is a sensitive area and may evoke a negative reaction. Cats blink slowly to show affection, and you can do the same thing to show the cat that you're a friend. If the cat also blinks slowly and seems calm, then you can continue the interaction. These are also called "cat kisses."

TL;DR in English: Wait for the cat to approach. Move to a comfortable area. Get down to the cat's level. Pet the cat. Blink slowly at the cat to show it you're friendly.

Choose any color you like to add to your slime. Add 1 drop directly onto the slime. Then, knead the food coloring into the slime with your hands. Keep kneading until the color is distributed evenly throughout the slime. Add another drop to make the color more noticeable. You can use 1 color or combine colors. For example, you could make blue slime with a drop of blue food coloring, or use a drop of blue and red food coloring for purple slime. You can use a special color pigment meant for making slime, or use powdered eyeshadow. Measure out 1 teaspoon (about 5 g) of the color pigment of your choice. Then, knead the pigment into your slime until the pigment is distributed evenly throughout the slime.  Add more pigment if needed to achieve the desired color. You can use any pigment or eyeshadow color you like to color your slime. Try purple pigment or eyeshadow for purple slime, or a glittery charcoal pigment or eyeshadow for sparkly black slime.

Get in shape. Change your diet. See a nutritionist and take fitness and health seriously. Don't starve yourself.

Select a fine-toothed blade and don't cut aluminum with a wall thickness of more than 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm). If possible, choose a saw blade that creates narrow kerfs (the notch or slot made by the saw). Since aluminum does not tend to close as you cut it, create narrow kerfs whenever you can. This can range from standard oil to saw wax. Since you'll be cutting metal on metal, you want to lubricate it to prevent sparks and slippage. WD-40 is the standard lubricant when cutting aluminum. Apply 5 to 6 small spurts on both the bottom and top halves of the blade. The cutting speed used for wood is generally going to be too fast to safely cut aluminum. For example, if you use a 10 inch (25 cm) saw, you can reduce the blade to 7.25 inches (18.4 cm). This will slow your cutting speed. If it's not possible to alter blade sizes, consider purchasing equipment with a variable speed router and use the slowest setting. These types of equipment are typically more expensive, but offer a degree of flexibility ideal for cutting aluminum. Loosen the bar within the jaw by turning it counterclockwise. Place the clamp upright, with the open end of the jaw facing your working surface and the bottom of the jaw underneath the tabletop. Place your aluminum into the jaw and tighten the clamp around it by turning the metal rod clockwise. As an additional safety measure, use a push stick to hold and move your aluminum piece into the saw. This allows you to cut your aluminum without getting near the blades. Hold the saw firmly with your dominant hand. Apply downward pressure as you move the blade along your metal. Be sure to work slower than you would with wood. Steady, even pressure is the safest way to go.  Remain clear from the kickback zone (where recently cut pieces are thrown clear by the power of the saw) when cutting. This is usually directly behind the saw. Alternately, you can use a bridge to secure your saw and reduce kickback. Always keep your fingers away from the saw blade. Retract the blade guard and hold it beside your...

TL;DR in English: Use a wood-cutting saw with carbide-tipped blades to cut most aluminum. Apply cutting lubricants on your blades or bits. Reduce the diameter of the cutting blade for better results. Use a C-clamp to secure your aluminum piece(s). Feed the aluminum through the blade, or the blade through the aluminum. Adjust the blade depth so the blade extends 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) at most. Use a jigsaw if circular cuts need to be made in the aluminum.

When the big blasters run out of ammo, you’ll need to keep a smaller sidearm on you to stay in the game. This is when pistol-style shooters come in handy. Tuck a Sidestrike, Cycloneshock or Jolt EX-1 into your waistband and switch over once your primary weapon is spent or experiences an unfortunate but inevitable jam. It may just be the thing that pretend-saves your life!  Make sure you save a few darts for your sidearm. Many of the more compact Nerf blasters only hold between 1-3 darts. These types of blasters are easier to dual-wield, provided you’ve got the means to carry them. Opt for a bow and arrow over a point-and-shoot device in situations where you need to be swift, silent and deadly. Nerf bows shoot long, sleek “arrow” darts impressively long distances with pinpoint accuracy. The original Nerf Bow and Arrow could fire approximately 60 feet (18.3 m), while the cancelled Rebelle Platinum Bow model would have launched arrows up to 100 feet (30.5 m)!  The drawing and firing action of a bow makes significantly less noise than regular blasters, which often click loudly when they shoot. Bow and arrow launchers make excellent choices for snipers. If all else fails, mow down the competition with one of Nerf’s patented weapons of mass destruction like the Vulcan EBF-25 or Rhino-Fire blaster. These guns feature high capacity loaders that hold up to 25 darts apiece and can even be mounted so that you can block off hallways and other strongholds with a torrent of merciless foam mayhem.  Nerf machine guns can shoot at a rate of about one dart per second. Because of their complex designs and the amount of ammunition they require, machine gun models tend to be more expensive. Warlock Axe, Swift Justice, Vigilance, Marauder Longsword, Vendetta Doublesword, Strikeblade and maybe even a custom foam weapon. Add a little variety to your games by having everybody switch to a Nerf sword or battleaxe for close quarters combat. Nerf’s new line of melee weapons are molded from a single piece of soft, sturdy foam that safely...

TL;DR in English: Keep a sidearm as a backup. Take out enemies stealthily with a bow and arrow. Protect your base at all cost with a machine gun. Consider using “bladed” weapons, some examples are:

A good art exhibition should be characterized by a prominent theme that ties the different pieces together and makes them feel like part of a larger whole. Think carefully about the message you want your exhibition to convey. It could be an image or phenomenon, a feeling or a certain visual technique.  The more specific your theme, the better. For instance, “Black and White” is too general to make much of an impact, whereas “Isolation and Womanhood” explores a far more interesting pairing of ideas. Consider giving your exhibition a name. A catchy title like “Neon Daydreams” will help generate attention and point more clearly to the theme being presented. Pick out a few of your best or most recent pieces to put on display. If you’re holding a solo exhibit meant to highlight your own work, you’ll need to have anywhere from 10-30 individual pieces to show. The theme of the exhibition should be represented in each production.  Spend the months leading up to the exhibition creating original pieces that you can unveil for the first time on opening night.  Plan on exhibiting more pieces if the work you do tends to be on the small side. Do some research into other artists in your area and see whether they would be interested in taking part in your exhibition. Collaborative efforts can be a great opportunity for many different artists to showcase their art at the same event, resulting in a more diverse and well-rounded display.  Narrow your focus to artists who have a similar style or tend to produce works related to the theme you’re presenting. Holding an exhibition in conjunction with other artists will also allow you to split the cost of the venue, licensing expenses, framing and promotional materials.  Be sure to give other artists proper credit for the works they've contributed. Your exhibition doesn’t have to exclusively feature paintings or sketches. Feel free to solicit works from photographers, sculptors, and other types of visual artists. A wide-ranging selection of works will lend collaborations a dynamic...

TL;DR in English: Choose a unifying theme. Select your most impressive work. Contact local artists for submissions. Work with different mediums.

Adriana is in great shape. She has to be. She's a Victoria's Secret model. She hired a professional nutritionist, though, to help her lose 50 pounds after she gave birth to her daughter.  Buy a scale. Hold yourself accountable for what you eat and how you let yourself go.  She thinks high-intensity workouts are best. She likes to sweat and to jump rope.  Ten minutes of jumping rope equals 35 minutes of running. She says you can burn 1,000 calories per hour long jumping rope session. To look as fit as Adriana, you have to clean up your diet. Eat a lot of steamed or raw vegetables, especially green ones like kale and broccoli. Season them with olive oil and sea salt.   She doesn't snack. But if you must, eat fruit. She suggests blackberries and blueberries. She eats green vegetables usually, steamed or raw. Things like asparagus and spinach. Eat every two to three hours. Drink at least two quarts of water daily. Take supplemental vitamins. If you get hungry, try a rice bar. When she's about to go on a show, she works out twice a day with a personal trainer. She jumps rope, boxes, and lifts weights.   She also sees a nutritionist who measured her body's muscle mass and levels of water retention. She drinks protein shakes, vitamins and supplements. She drinks a gallon of water every day. For nine days before the show, she drinks only protein shakes that include powder egg. She was once quoted as saying that, two days before a fashion show, she stops drinking extra water. However, she claimed she was misquoted. Not only is this dangerous, but it's not Adriana's look, either. She stresses to her trainers that she wants to retain some curves.  One exercise she did to get into shape after she had her baby is called the Aerosquat. To perform it, bend down. Touch the index and middle finger of both hands to the ground. Keep your hands on the opposite sides of your left foot. While keeping your knee bent, raise your right foot off the ground. Tilt your weight to your left side. Squat with your left leg. Keep your...

Fold your sweaters. Fold the sweater over and hang it from the bottom bar of a hanger on a drying rack to dry.

Fold sweaters rather than hanging them. Take precautions if you must hang sweaters. Hand wash your sweaters.

Keep the furniture in storage or an adjacent room until you cut and install the tiles. This will give you a clearer view of the room to ensure accurate measurements. Vacuum or mop the floor as well, and throw away any trash or debris covering the ground. Beginning from the center helps you keep the tiling pattern balanced. Mentally divide the room into 4 different quadrants and start measuring in the approximate middle. Finding the center is easiest for square or rectangular rooms. If your room is oddly shaped, start in the approximate middle. If you are adhering many tiles, making layout lines on the floor can help you make the tile patterning even. Use a tape measure to record the length and width of your tile. Make this measurement your guide as you record how many peel-and-stick tiles you will need to cover the floor. Beginning from the center of the room and outward, use chalk to record where you will lay out the peel-and-stick tiles. While measuring the layout lines, mark them in chalk to use as a guideline when you cut and adhere the tiles. Make partial lines around the sides and corners of the room so you know what shape to cut certain tiles.

TL;DR in English: Remove all furniture from the room before measuring the space. Start from the center of the room. Measure the tile layout lines, if desired. Use chalk to mark the layout lines.

Storage grid cubes are easy-to-build metal storage options typically used for cheap shelving options. Look for cube grids that have openings between 1 1⁄2–2 1⁄2 in (3.8–6.4 cm). Make sure you have at least 12 grid pieces for your cage.  Storage grids can be purchased from your local superstore or online. Guinea pigs may get stuck in openings that are 1 1⁄2 in (3.8 cm) or smaller and cause suffocation. Spread the grid pieces on a table or on the floor of the room where you plan on keeping your guinea pigs. Make sure the edges line up so that the cage doesn’t overlap. Measure the square footage of the base to confirm that it’s at least 7 1⁄2 sq ft (0.70 m2). This will form the base of your cage.  If you’re housing more than 2 guinea pigs, add 3 square feet (0.28 m2) for each additional animal. Most grid pieces are 12 in × 12 in (30 cm × 30 cm), so you only need 8 pieces to make your floor. You can leave the cage on the ground or put it on a table. Hold the edges of the base together so they’re touching. Combine the pieces by wrapping 1 zip tie around them in each corner. If the connection feels loose between the grid pieces, add another zip tie in the middle. Continue wrapping zip ties around each grid piece until your floor is finished. Zip ties can be purchased from your local hardware store. Hold a grid piece so it’s standing up against the outer edge of your floor. Use 2-3 more zip ties per grid piece to attach your walls to the floor. Tie the wall pieces together with more zip ties. Work with a partner to make the building process easier. When you pull the zip ties tight, there will be excess tails that stick out in the middle of your cage. Use a pair of scissors to cut any of the excess zip ties off. Go around your entire cage and remove them so your guinea pigs can’t chew on them. Cut off the zip tie tails as you put them on so you don’t have to do so many later.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a set of cube storage grids. Lay the grid on the floor to make a rectangle that’s at least 7 1⁄2 sq ft (0.70 m2). Secure the grid pieces together with 2-3 zip ties per side. Attach upright grid pieces along the sides of the base to make the walls. Cut the tails of the zip ties so your guinea pigs don’t chew on them.

You should fold your sweaters and store them in drawers rather than hanging them. Hanging sweaters can stretch out portions of the sweater. It can also leave small humps at the shoulders. If possible, fold your sweaters rather than hanging them. If you need to hang your sweaters, take certain precautions. Use thick, padded hangers to provide more support. This can help prevent stretching. You may also want to fold your sweater over and hang it from the bottom bar of a hanger. The bottom bar may provide more support, preventing stretching. You can cut open an empty paper towel tube and then fit it over the bottom bar of a hanger. This may help prevent creasing. If possible, you should always hand wash your sweaters. Hand wash them in cold water with a small amount of fabric softener and detergent. Rinse thoroughly, making sure to get all the suds out. When removing excess water before drying, press the sweater. Do not squeeze or wring it. Fold the sweater in half and hang it over the bottom bar of a hanger on a drying rack to dry.

TL;DR in English:


Sometimes we just need a little reassurance and a friendly voice to help us relax. If calming yourself does not work, try to call a friend (if a friend is available). Hopefully, the soothing voice on the other end of the phone will help put you at ease and help you get to sleep.  Make sure to call someone who is already familiar with your anxiety problems so you won’t need to explain your situation. Try talking to a friend who will only listen and not add more to the conversation. Talking to someone who will make you worry more will not help you. Always make sure to call your friend the next day after you’ve settled down and thank them for their time. One way to get to sleep when anxious is to take melatonin supplements. Melatonin is a chemical that naturally occurs in our bodies and helps us go to sleep. If you’re lucky, a little melatonin will go a long way and put you to sleep in a jiffy.  Melatonin is sold over the counter in 1, 2, 3, and 5 milligram tablets. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about using melatonin before you take it. Do not take melatonin with alcohol or other controlled substances. If your anxiety is consistently undermining your ability to get to sleep, you should talk to a medical professional. Your doctor should be able to refer you to a specialist or diagnose your problem.  If anxiety undermines your ability to sleep consistently over a short amount of time, make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. Be truthful and honest with your doctor about what is causing your anxiety. If appropriate, seek help from a psychologist or psychiatrist. A doctor might put you on anxiety medicines or prescription sleep aids. One way to deal with persistent anxiety that interferes with your sleep is to get professional mental health counseling. A mental health counselor (whether a counselor, a psychiatrist, or a psychologist) will talk to you and help you identify the source of your anxiety.  Psychiatrists might choose to treat you with medication. Many counselors or psychologists will...

TL;DR in English: Call a friend. Try melatonin supplements. Talk to your doctor. Seek mental health counseling. Recruit the family pet.

This will save you a great deal of time and trouble, and give you enough time to find another potential date if necessary.  If you are unsure, then ask one of his friends or someone in his social circle. Try to figure this out before asking him out. If he has a girlfriend, then he is probably going with her. In the event that your first choice is taken, having backup will ensure that you are not left without a date to the dance. Consider asking him in person or via telephone if you have his number. It is also totally acceptable to ask him through email or Facebook message if you don't want to do it face-to-face.

TL;DR in English: Determine whether or not he already has a date. Think about who else you would like to go with beforehand. Figure out how you want to ask him.

You’ll likely need a minimum of 20 or 30 minutes to get your cat out of hiding and comfortable enough to get into a carrier. If possible, work this into your schedule so you can avoid having to fight with it and force it into a carrier. Try keeping the carrier in its space at all times, and place its food inside the carrier so the cat will associate it with good things. If you need to make a vet appointment or otherwise get your cat out of hiding in a hurry, try coaxing it with pet treats or a piece of canned tuna. You can also use a chase toy, like a feather on a string, to help it forget about its fear or shyness. Continue to play with it for 10 to 15 minutes. If you need to get it in a carrier, try placing treats in the carrier, and avoid forcing it in the carrier unless absolutely necessary. Feliway contains synthetic pheromones that can help soothe your cat. Spray it around your cat’s hiding spot to encourage it to come out of hiding. It’ll relax your cat and make it want to investigate the scent.  Don’t spray Feliway right in front of your cat. It could startle your cat, making it even less willing to come out of hiding. Once it’s relaxed, it’ll probably want to rub against you and be stroked. You should give it some loving attention after spraying Feliway instead of trying to rush it into the carrier.

TL;DR in English: Give yourself plenty of time to get your cat in a carrier. Offer treats and toys. Try spraying Feliway.

Use a brush or comb to eliminate tangles and knots. Even if you choose to do a messy fishtail, you won't want any snags. Brush your hair back, away from your forehead and behind your head. For a polished look and to prevent flyaways, try finger-combing a smoothing serum through your hair before you get started. Hair can be dry or wet, though it can be easier to braid wet hair if yours is curly or wavy.  If your hair is fine or layered, use a little styling cream or gel to keep hair from slipping out of the pleat. For a messier look, you can forget the brush and finger-comb your hair, but be certain you still get out any snags. Work a little styling product in for texture. For a side braid, brush your hair to the side, over your shoulder.

White vinegar is one of the only few liquids that is safe to use on suede. Take a towel, cotton balls or Q tips and add a few drops of water to moisten. Dab gently at the gum remains to move. Then carefully add a few drops of white vinegar. Wait a couple minutes until it dries and then brush over with a suede brush.   Never use water to clean suede. It seems counterintuitive, but water is actually damaging to suede and can stain it.   Remember to dab, don't scrub! Windex is another substance that is safe to use on suede. Like with vinegar, use only a few drops of windex on a clean towel or Q tip and dab at the gum. If there is no effect, you can try adding a few more drops of windex to your towel or Q tip. There are some sprays made specifically to clean suede. If you still have remains of gum on your suede item, you may consider buying and using one of these sprays. They can be found at major stores like Walmart or Target  Don't confuse suede cleaner spray with suede waterproofing spray. A cleaning spray will help you with your gum problem, while a waterproofing spray is meant to protect suede from water damage.

TL;DR in English: Clean suede with white vinegar. Clean suede with windex. Use a commercial suede spray.

Begin by spending some time imagining the type of job you hope to gain. (Will you work in a hospital or a fitness centre? Would you like to work with athletes or individuals with injuries? Is there anything you'd like to specialize in?) Once you have a clear image, you can look for an undergraduate program that will suit your needs. Read over the websites and credentials of different programs to determine what they focus on. When you have selected the right program, complete an application.  A strong program will have a good job placement rate for graduates. Look for a program that offers hands-on course work. Look for a program that will provide work experience, such as an internship in a fitness centre or the opportunity to work in a rehab facility. Any good program will have ASEP accreditation. ASEP stands for the American Society of Exercise Physiologists. Any strong undergraduate (or graduate) programs in exercise physiology will be accredited by ASEP. Such accreditation attached to your degree will make it much easier for you to find work after you finish school. Exercise physiologists can be employed in hospitals, fitness centres, physical therapy clinics, cardiac rehabilitation facilities, and other places. Where you hope to work will determine what level of education you need, as well as which programs will be a good fit for you. In general, a master's degree in exercise physiology is required for most professions. However, you may only require an undergraduate degree (a BS in physical education, exercise science, or health science) to work for a community organization or at the community level. If you hope to be a researcher or work at a university, you will need a PhD  Determining what level of education you ultimately hope to seek will enable you to choose the right program. Some programs will be designed to lead into graduate programs, while others will be designed for you to head into the workforce. Once you have been accepted to a program, you will need to spend roughly four years completing...

TL;DR in English: Decide on an undergraduate program. Verify that your program is ASEP accredited. Determine where you’d like to work. Determine what level of education you will seek. Complete your undergraduate program.

The banana leaf is the primary table setting for the Sadhya meal and all of the food items will be placed upon it. However, the leaf itself must be in proper position with the tapered end facing to your left. It should be near enough to you so that you can reach the food without stretching overly much. Depending on the Sadhya, it’s possible to have up to 24 dishes on your leaf over the duration of the meal. This means that you can get full really quickly if you try to eat everything. Instead, each time a course is brought out, focus on trying out each of these new foods.  The first course is usually a number of rice dishes. The courses alternate flavors from salty to spicy. Dessert dishes can be served at the very end or as a course right in the middle. It’s fine to go back and eat some of the foods from prior courses. But, do this only after you’ve eaten a bit from each of the more recent foods offered to you. After the last course has been served and you are done eating, gently grab the edges of the banana leaf and fold it from top to bottom. Keep folding until the leaf is now a small-ish packet and the food inside is fully contained. Pull the leaf towards you a bit. Not folding your leaf, or pushing it away from yourself, indicates that you did not enjoy your meal and is insulting for the hosts.

TL;DR in English: Position your banana leaf. Concentrate on eating the most recent course served. Fold the leaf when finished.

Your external hard drive's cable should be connected firmly to both your computer and the external hard drive, and the external hard drive should be in a position where it doesn't create any tension on the cable. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. It's in the lower-left side of the Start menu. Doing so prompts a pop-up menu. This is in the pop-up menu. Your computer will begin restarting. As soon as your computer's screen turns off, you'll need to begin pressing repeatedly the key specified by your computer's manufacturer. The BIOS is usually a minimal interface with white or colored letters on a blue or black background. Scroll over to the "Boot Order" tab using the right arrow key, or look for the "Boot Order" option in one of the menus on the main page if you don't see a "Boot Order" tab.  You may first need to select an Advanced tab to see the "Boot Order" menu. The BIOS menu varies from PC to PC, so don't be afraid to look around for the "Boot Order" section. Find your external hard drive's name or classification (e.g., External Hard Drive) in the "Boot Order" list, then press the "Down" arrow key until the external hard drive is selected. In some cases, you'll only be able to select USB devices (or similar) in this menu. If so, make sure that your external hard drive is the only USB storage attached to your computer when booting from it. Press the "Move Up" key (usually the + key) as specified by the key legend on the right side of the screen until your hard drive's name is at the top of the "Boot Order" list. In some cases, the key legend will be at the bottom of the screen instead. Usually, you'll press a key to do this, so check the key legend for a "Save and Exit" option. You may need to confirm this step by pressing another key.

A popular method for bringing participants to the hackathon venue is to rent a charter bus. The bus can drive through a state or 2 and pick up participants at 6 or 7 separate locations before bringing them to the hackathon location. Once participants are at the hackathon location, consider their local transportation needs. For example, if the hackathon is held at a hotel, talk to the hotel concierge and see if the hotel has a shuttle that can ferry hackathon participants around town if needed. In order to keep event participants happy and productive, they'll need to be well fed. Plan to have a light breakfast spread when participants arrive each morning, and provide a filling lunch around 1 or 2 pm. Ask participants in advance about any dietary restrictions you'll need to accommodate.  The type of food you provide depends on the hackathon budget. If you're low on cash, plenty of pizzas and soda will suffice. If you have a larger budget, look into hiring a local catering company or restaurant to provide 2 healthy meals a day. Speak with the venue manager or owner and confirm that their Wi-Fi can handle 400+ devices accessing the internet simultaneously. Also confirm that the venue has plenty of outlets to plug in laptops, phones, and tablets.  Keep in mind that many participants will bring 2 or more electronic items. Ideally, the venue should have enough outlets (or power strips) that each hackathon participant has access to on average 1.5 outlets. If the main hackathon events conclude each day at 5 or 6 pm, schedule some type of entertainment to help participants unwind and relax. Invite a local cover band to perform one evening, or rent a karaoke machine and set it up in the main conference room for guests to use. Even a minimal budget should cover a little entertainment. Call up a local bar and ask if they have a private room that a couple dozen hackathon participants could rent for the evening.

TL;DR in English: Organize transportation for hackathon participants. Order more than enough food for the hackathon. Make sure that venue has stable internet and electrical connectivity. Plan evening entertainment if the event budget permits.

Try to use an image that captures your writing style. For example, if you write horror fiction, go for something dark and sinister. If you write romance, aim for something dreamy or whimsical. Use a high-quality image with decent resolution, so that it looks crisp and professional. The image doesn't have to be of yourself. It can be any cool picture you've taken! Think of your profile description almost like a cover letter. Write something brief but engaging that draws readers in. Don't forget to include a few interesting facts about yourself, as well! You could write something like, "I'm a part-time writer, full-time dreamer who explores reveries, hallucinations, nightmares, and visions. During the day, I moonlight as a psychology student at Berkeley." Many people will pick up a book just because they find the cover art interesting, and it's no different on Wattpad! A great cover should stand out with bold colors and compelling images. Pick imagery that represents an important part of your story (without spoiling it of course).  If you have friends that are good artists, you can ask them to design a cover for your story. Make sure to give them credit on your profile.  You can find high resolution stock photos on websites like Pexels and Shutterstock. Most of these websites aren't free to use, but you may find the fees worth it. Don't neglect the font when designing your cover. The font color and size should make the title stand out, and the font style needs to match the tone of the book. For example, if you're writing a humorous story or one aimed at younger audiences, you might be able to opt for a quirky font; for a more serious book, however, choose a more sophisticated font. Your titles need to be short and catchy. Think of something that outlines the main idea of the piece and is easy to remember. Spend some time brainstorming some ideas before making a decision.  Use action words and strong verbs in your titles to get attention, like "Things Fall Apart" or "Breaking Through Barriers." Try something...

TL;DR in English: Upload an interesting profile image. Write an intriguing profile description. Upload engaging, high resolution covers for your stories. Create attention-grabbing story titles. Write an interesting short paragraph describing your book.

Try to use a fresh, ripe banana. You can also use a frozen banana instead for a thicker smoothie. Cutting the banana up first will give you a smoother drink in the end. Don't add the rest of the ingredients yet. Those are your garnishes, and will be added last. There should be no chunks of banana left when you are done. From time to time, you may need to push the smoothie down the walls of the blender. This will help things blend more evenly. For a fancier touch, consider using a fancy milkshake glass with a short stem and wide brim. If you need to, use a spatula to help guide the smoothie into the glasses. Add a swirl of whipped cream and a drizzle of hot fudge on top of the smoothie.  Place a maraschino cherry on top of the whipped cream, then shake some sprinkles on top. Stick a tall straw into each glass. If you have a long dessert spoon, you can use it to eat the garnish. If you don't have a blender, try using a food processor fitted with metal blades instead.

TL;DR in English: Peel and slice 1 banana. Add the banana, milk, ice cream, and vanilla extract into the blender. Blend until everything is smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the smoothie into 1 or 2 tall glasses. Garnish the smoothie. Serve and enjoy the smoothie.

Make sure the fabric is completely submerged in the bath. Press down on the fabric using a long metal utensil, like a spatula or spoon, to get out any air bubbles that are trapped in the fabric. As you're stirring it, turn the fabric over in the container and unfold it with the utensil. That way all of the fabric will be exposed to the dye. The longer you let the fabric soak in the dye bath, the darker the final color will be. Make sure you let the fabric soak for at least 30 minutes or the dye may not stick to the fabric. Once all the dye is down the drain, leave the piece of fabric in the sink or tub. Avoid dumping the dye bath out outside.

Getting to know your chickens is a great way to develop a strong bond with them as well as give you insight into their health. Look out for their behavior and try to get a feel for their personality. In addition, keep an eye out for signs of illness, such as a pale comb (the top of their head), heavy breathing, coughing, wheezing, and a runny nose. If you have multiple chickens, try to distinguish each one's personality. You should also keep an eye out for sibling rivalry. This is especially important if you only have one pet chicken, as chickens are quite chatty. Try mimicking its coos, clucks, crows, and warbles. Some chickens respond, while others just stare, but either way, it's important to communicate with them! Always greet your chicken by its name any time you engage and visit with it—this will stimulate its brain, create a bond, and encourage it to approach you when you call. As you get more comfortable with your chicken, it will allow you to pet it. Call it by its name and when it approaches, gently pet it. The sweet spot is the back of its neck underneath the fluff of its feathers—gently rub it here to calm it.  Over time, your chicken might be comfortable sitting in your lap and letting you pet it. Try carrying your chicken around while you pet it to make it feel more comfortable around you. Chickens have a great sense of hearing and respond not just to various sounds but also pleasant-sounding music. Try playing some classical music in front of your chicken. You can also hum, whistle, and sing to get its attention. Try playing a flute or guitar for your chicken. Try scattering some oats or other treats along the ground and move around while doing so. Play hide-and-seek by hiding while your chicken forages and clucking to it. You can also dig a small hole, hide a red bell pepper or red fruit (without seeds) and fill it loosely with dirt—chickens are drawn to the color red.  Install a treat dispenser in your yard that your chicken can play with for a reward. Create a non-toxic kids play tunnel in...

TL;DR in English: Observe your chickens daily to get to know them. Talk to your chicken daily to bond with it. Pet your chicken to show it affection. Play music for your chicken to calm it. Play with your chicken to keep it stimulated.

Older incandescent light bulbs do not contain liquid mercury.  But, some newer energy-saving compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs do.  Check the packaging that the bulbs came in for warnings regarding their mercury content.  Energy-saving bulbs typically contain no more than 4 mg of mercury—just enough to cover the tip of a pen. Even if the CFL bulb contains mercury, it might be in gaseous rather than liquid form. LED bulbs don’t contain liquid mercury. Tilt switches (sometimes called “mercury switches”) were used in older appliances to transmit an on/off signal.  Appliances in the home that may contain mercury include chest freezers, televisions, thermostats, washing machines, space heaters, clothes dryers, and washing machines.  Contact the appliance manufacturer or check your user manual to confirm if a given appliance has mercury. Contact an appliance recycler or your local hazardous waste collection center for information regarding the best way to dispose of these appliances. You might be able to locate up to 3 grams of mercury in thermostats. Most normal batteries do not contain mercury.  However, the smaller “button cell” batteries that are used in watches, hearing aids, toys, pacemakers, and other devices still contain mercury.  If you can find a device containing these small batteries, you’ve probably found liquid mercury. Certain pharmaceutical products might contain liquid mercury.  Skin antiseptics, facial creams, contact lens solutions, and some vaccines could contain liquid mercury.  To confirm that your pharmaceutical products contain liquid mercury, check the ingredients label or contact the manufacturer. Clocks from the 1600s or before often used liquid mercury as a pendulum weight.  If you own such a clock, it probably contains liquid mercury.

TL;DR in English: Identify compact fluorescent light bulbs. Locate mercury in tilt switches. Find mercury in small batteries. Search for mercury in pharmaceuticals. Check antique clocks.

The air around you is pressing against you and every other object, with a pressure as high as 101 kPa (14.7 pounds per square inch) when you're at sea level. This would normally be enough to crush a can by itself, or even a person! This doesn't happen because the air inside the soda can (or the material inside your body) is pushing outward with equal pressure, and because the air pressure "cancels itself out" by pushing at us from every direction equally. When the water in the can boils, you can see the water start to escape as little droplets in the air, or steam. Some of the air in the can gets pushed out when this happens, to make room for the expanding cloud of water droplets.  Despite the can losing some of the air inside it, it doesn't get crushed yet, because the water vapor that took the place of the air is pushing from the inside instead. In general, the more you heat a liquid or a gas, the more it expands. If it is an enclosed container so it can't keep expanding, it exerts more pressure. This is known as Gay-Lussac’s Law. When the can is turned upside down in the ice water, the situation changes in two ways. First, the can is no longer open to the air, since water is blocking the opening. Second, the water vapor inside the can rapidly cools down again. The water vapor once again shrinks down to its original volume, the tiny amount of water at the bottom of the can. Suddenly, most of the space inside the can has nothing in it at all – not even air! The air that's been pressing from the outside of the can this whole time suddenly has nothing on the other side to resist it, so it crushes the can inward. Space that has nothing in it is called a vacuum. The appearance of a vacuum, or empty space, inside the can has one other effect besides causing the can to be crushed. Watch the can carefully as you lower it into the water, and again as you lift it out. You might notice a small amount of water getting sucked up into the can, then trickling out again. This is because the water pressure is pushing...

TL;DR in English: Learn about air pressure. Figure out what happens when you heat the can of water. Understand how the can gets crushed. Watch the can closely to discover one more effect of the experiment.

HDMI ports are usually labeled "HDMI," and are rectangular (like a USB port) with a tapered bottom edge. You'll usually find one or two on the back of the TV.  If you don't have an HDMI port, look for a VGA port. VGA ports are also rectangular but have 3 rows of small circles. HDMI transmits audio, but VGA does not. If you have to use VGA, you can still hear audio through the TV by connecting the iPad to its headphone port. You'll need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable that can run from your iPad's headphone jack to the TV. If your iPad doesn't have a headset jack, you'll also need a USB-C to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter. As long as your TV has either an HDMI or VGA port, you can connect your iPad to it with a compatible adapter. The exact adapter you'll need depends on the type of port that's on your iPad:  If you're using an iPad (4th generation or later), iPad Air, iPad Mini, or iPad Pro, you'll need a Lightning Digital AV Adapter (HDMI) or a Lighting to VGA Adapter (VGA). The Lightning port is the small oval port at the bottom of the tablet. If you have an iPad 1, iPad 2, or iPad 3, you'll need an Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter (HDMI) or Apple 30-pin to VGA adapter (VGA). The 30-pin port is the wide oval at the bottom of the tablet. The adapter should fit securely into the same port you use to charge your iPad. If you're using VGA, connect the VGA cable to the VGA port instead. Your iPad should now be connected to the TV. Depending on your TV, you may have to use the remote control to select the HDMI or VGA port you're using. The button on the remote is usually labeled "Source" or "Input." Once you get to the right input, you should see your iPad's screen on the television. If you're using a VGA adapter and want to hear sound from the TV, connect the 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio aux cable (and adapter, if necessary) to your iPad, and then plug the other end into the TV's headphone jack. Now that your iPad is connected to the TV, anything you do on the tablet will appear on the TV screen. You can play videos, browse...

TL;DR in English:


Consider the benefits package your employees have, if you have any control over this. Start a work at home policy. Give out bonuses. Upgrade the health care packages. Offer unlimited, paid vacation. Fund education. Give raises.

Rather than focusing on getting your own points across, stop and listen what the other person is saying.  Focus on really listening, by breaking down their viewpoint and where they are coming from.  Ask questions for clarification to show that you are interested and listening.  Once they are done speaking, consider paraphrasing what they said.  For example, say something like, "It sounds like you think he's the strong candidate due to his economic policies and his confident style of speaking.  Is that right?" Showing that you can listen will actually make for a more productive conversation because other people like to know they've been heard, even if you may disagree with their views. It's important that you are able to articulate your thoughts and views in a clear and concise way.  If your points are clouded by strong emotions and anger, there is likely little opportunity for a productive conversation.  The same goes for when someone else wants to speak their mind.  This will likely just make both sides feel uncomfortable.  Humility is key to effective communication, whether it's about politics or other hot-button issues.  Show that you are interested in an open and shared conversation, rather than aggressive attack on other people's views. Think before you speak.  Be clear about what you want to say and why.  Don't start talking and then end up having to back-pedal to figure out what your point was. Each person has a right to their own political views.  While you may have strong views about the economy, certain social service programs, or the environment, conversations about these and other political issues are likely to go nowhere if you don't respect each other's rights.  Give each person a chance to speak.  For example, say, "I respect your opinion," or "I can see you viewpoint on this is important to you." If you feel like you want to still show that you are strongly against their views but respect their rights to have a different opinion, consider very careful wording such as, "While I have a different...

TL;DR in English: Listen and ask questions. Be clear and humble in explaining your views. Show respect for their right to have a different opinion. Cultivate conversation where actual discussion can take place. Be willing to analyze your own beliefs.

Every autistic person is unique, and what works for one child may not work for another. The child's attention span, sensory issues, and communication ability will all come into play in going to a restaurant. Respect where the child's ability is, as not all autistic children are able to successfully have an outing at a restaurant, no matter the wishes and good intentions.   Do not base your child's ability or needs on any other individual on the autistic spectrum. While it may be inspirational that one child can visit a restaurant, that does not mean your child will have the same outcome for better or worse. It is also possible that your autistic child may have no interest in eating at a restaurant, or find it a painful or frustrating experience. Pushing too hard too fast can be bad for all concerned. Err on the side of moving slowly and gradually rather than quickly. Autistic people may have issues with things such as florescent lights, loud noises, crowds, music, and waiting. Look for a restaurant avoids these sensory and other issues. For example:  A fast-food restaurant may be the best choice for a person who cannot handle sitting and waiting for something to happen. For an individual who gets overwhelmed with crowds, go to a quiet cafe on off-peak hours. If lighting is an issue, perhaps an outdoor eatery is best. Go through a menu, order food, and practice sitting in a chair, and waiting patiently for your food to arrive. Doing this should give a good idea of how your child may do at a real restaurant.  Remember that many (not all) autistic children have a difficult time with the idea of pretending and have a hard time generalizing from one situation to another. If you pretend to order at a restaurant at home, they may not be able to perform the task at the restaurant because it is not home. Be sure to alert your child in advance when you are going to do this, as this will be a break in routine for them, and this can be confusing and upsetting for an autistic person. Be sure to use supports that your...

TL;DR in English: Know your child. Choose your restaurant carefully. Rehearse eating out with your child. Consider your individual's food preferences at home. Do as much research about the restaurant as possible. Inform your child of the date and time you will be going as soon as you know for sure. Use social stories Contact the restaurant you are going to by phone. Consider bringing something to entertain your child. Program any picture communication or other AAC system that your child may use.

Although their aloofness has bred a reputation for apathy and a lack of love, cats actually have the same chemical responses in their brain when they have positive interactions with people and other friendly animals and can build close bonds and attachments to humans and other cats. The love response is created by oxytocin, a chemical secreted by the brain when we experience strong attachment. Cats are intelligent enough to master vocalization with their human companion, provided humans pay attention.  What sounds does you cat make in response to various activities like feeding? Cuddling on the couch?  Play time?  When it wants to get in your lap?  Note trends in vocalization to better understand what your cat is attempting to tell you. Purring means different things.  Science hasn’t completely nailed down why cats purr.  We know mother cats do it when nursing.  We also know that cats purr when they are happy.  But cats also purr when they are attempting to calm themselves down, even when giving birth.  When your cat purrs, take notice of the context and that can help explain the purpose of that specific purr. Tail up means “Hi!  I’m feeling friendly.”  Tail down means “I’m hunting, or not interested in interacting with you at the moment.”  Staring means “I don’t know what to think about you, and I might be a little concerned.” Long, slow blinking means “I am comfortable around you.  You are my friend.”  Laying down on her side and stretching means “I’m relaxed and would like petting.” Laying down with ears back and a rigid posture means “I’m really frightened and will kick, scratch, or bite if you come closer.” There are some responses among cats that are universal; and yet, there are others that are specific to each feline. Some cats puff up slightly when they are feeling cuddly or excited about affection (this is normally a reaction associated with aggression and fear). Some cats will grab you lightly with their claws when they want to get your attention to be picked up, petted or fed (this can also be a...

TL;DR in English: Understand that cats experience love. Listen to your cat. Pay attention to body language. Accept the cat will be curious. Accept that your cats will climb on everything.

Offering a better retirement plan or health insurance can give them an extra incentive to work hard and keep their jobs. Giving dedicated individuals a way to earn extra vacation time can also boost employee morale. It doesn't have to be all the time. Utility costs can be cut down by having employees work from home. There is no commute, and you cut down on office social distractions. Annual bonuses and bonuses based on goals can really give your team a morale boost. Bonuses aren't as much of a commitment as raises, given that they are one-time payments. This can feel like a raise, but it has only a temporary effect. Beware providing regular bonuses and then eliminating them. Employees may feel a morale boost leading up to getting a bonus, not just after. It can be very deflating to lose a bonus one was expecting. Also, research indicates that only substantial bonuses have any positive impact on employee behavior. If there are none, offer them. Your employees will be healthy, increasing their morale. They will feel that their position has more worth. It can contribute to a feeling of security, especially when spouses and children are covered. It has been shown, for both the public and private sector, that employee satisfaction and productivity can be enhanced by providing health care benefits. This may seem like an excuse to slack off, but it reality it can result in productivity, as vacation improves health and focus. It can also save money, as for some companies the average worker has an accumulated $2-4,000 in unused vacation. It also fosters loyalty, as the perk is difficult to give up. Abuse is controlled by the employee's desire to keep their job and to appear diligent.  Gohealthinsurance.com implemented this policy, and in the same year reported a 200% in growth. Virgin Group, Netflix, BestBuy, Prezi, and Evernote all have implemented limitless vacation policies for employees. By giving employees the opportunity to better themselves through your company, you can improve morale. When an employee feels...

Many owners remark that their bitch changes character during pregnancy: she seems sleepier, more lethargic, and starts to build nests. However, these are also the signs associated with pseudopregnancy, or false pregnancy, where the bitch behaves as if she is pregnant when in fact she isn't. Some bitches with a false pregnancy even start producing milk, so enlarged mammary glands are not conclusive evidence of pregnancy. One of the more reliable signs of pregnancy is if a female dog "pinks up," which describes the enlargement of her nipples. They become larger and often develop a rosy hue (hence the term "pinking").  A pregnant bitch doesn't produce milk until near the end of gestation (or sometimes only after the puppies are born). Note that you'll still need to have your dog tested for pregnancy to confirm. Prominent pink nipples four or so weeks after mating are a highly suspect (but inconclusive) clue to pregnancy. As with pregnant women, an expanding center is a strong hint–but it should be interpreted with caution. In a healthy, fit bitch, her body silhouette may not show obvious changes until 50-55 days of pregnancy, when the womb is sufficiently enlarged to fill the tummy. Your dog does not need to take in extra calories until the final third of the pregnancy (after about 40 days). This means if you feed her extra early in the suspected pregnancy, she is likely to gain weight, but it will be fat and not necessarily puppies. If your dog is struggling during pregnancy, she needs help; however, there is also a distinct chance she is not pregnant, but has a condition mimicking pregnancy, including false pregnancy and pyometra. While a false pregnancy (usually caused by a hormonal imbalance after heat) is not life-threatening, a pyometra definitely is. The latter is where the womb fills with pus, which causes blood poisoning, organ failure, and, if left untreated, death. The symptoms of pyometra can mimic pregnancy in that your dog's tummy may enlarge and she lacks energy. However, she is also likely to...

TL;DR in English: Observe your dog for lethargy and other behavioral changes. Notice if your dog's nipples are growing. Look for an expanding waistline. Familiarize yourself with the conditions that mimic pregnancy.

There are a number of symptoms, referred to as pre-syncope, that you may experience immediately before fainting. Most fainting spells occur when you are standing, and recognizing warning signs will help you prepare yourself if you do indeed faint. In addition, awareness can also help to prevent a fainting episode and will help you stay safe if you do faint. Common symptoms include yawning, a sudden sweat, nausea (sickness), fast and deep breathing, confusion, lightheadedness, blurred vision or spots in front of your eyes, and ringing in your ears. The symptoms of fainting can come on very quickly and with little warning. If you experience the above symptoms it is a good idea to conduct 'antigravity' measures, which when done immediately upon feeling symptoms, can help you avoid a fainting episode.  Medical experts suggest that you lie or sit down and place your head between your knees. These positions will help restore blood flow to the brain and can prevent a fainting episode.   If standing, you can also cross your legs and tightening your abdominal muscles. This is effective if you are in a crowded place and you are unable to lie down immediately. By preparing, you can ensure that you are in a safe and secure place when you faint. Try telling someone near you what is happening and ask for assistance, try lying down, or try bracing yourself against a wall to prepare. If you find yourself on stairs or other precarious surroundings, sit down and hold on to a railing immediately. If you do faint, blood flow will resume to your brain naturally and you should regain consciousness in two minutes or less. It is normal to feel weak and confused for 20 to 30 minutes after fainting. Remain calm when you regain consciousness. Also, take some time to lay on your back to allow blood flow back to the brain. You should also hydrate yourself with water.

TL;DR in English: Determine if a fainting spell is approaching. React quickly to the symptoms. Prepare yourself for losing consciousness. Take it slowly if you do faint.

Compliments are one of the most important parts of romantic relationships. They show your partner that you appreciate their efforts and make you two grow closer. Don’t hold back on the compliments. If your partner does something that impresses you or looks especially good, tell them!  Be specific with your compliments. Rather than saying, “You look nice,” say “That dress looks amazing on you.” This shows that you’re being observant. Remember that compliments don’t just have to be about looks. Saying, “You’re such a great cook” after dinner is another flattering compliment. This is another way to show your appreciation for what your partner does. People love feeling appreciated, and knowing that you notice the things your partner does for you will bring them closer to you. Don’t hesitate to thank your partner whenever they do something for you.  Even thanking your partner for mundane tasks like taking out the garbage works to show appreciation. Always make your appreciation genuine, without any sarcasm or sounding like a backhanded compliment. Don’t say something like, “I’m glad you finally remembered to do the dishes after dinner tonight.” This sounds sarcastic. Simply say, “Thank you for doing the dishes.” Physical touch is a huge part of attraction. Take as many opportunities to build this attraction as you can. Hold their hand when you’re walking together. Give them arm touches when you’re talking. Kiss their forehead randomly. These little touches help build the intimacy between you two.  When you start off, don’t make any of your touches sexual. You can build to that. Start by just establishing a physical connection between you and your partner. Remember that if your partner ever tells you to stop touching them, listen to them. Sometimes being straightforward is the best approach. Don’t make your partner guess what your feelings are. Tell them directly that you love them. Hearing that will bring your partner closer to you.  Find creative ways to tell your partner you love them. Leave little love notes...

TL;DR in English: Give your partner compliments often so they feel appreciated. Thank your partner whenever they do something for you. Touch your partner to build physical intimacy with them. Tell your partner you love them.

This method turns a few ordinary paper bags into a booklet that's a little bigger than the eight page booklet described above. The type of bag you'll want to use is the skinny, narrow paper bag with a "flap" at the bottom that's frequently used for packing lunches. White paper bags are easiest for writing and reading purposes, but standard brown bags also work fine. You'll also want to have a hole punch and some string or ribbon handy. You don't specifically have to use lunch bags for this booklet — you're just looking for skinny paper bags with a "flap" at the bottom that allows the bag to stand upright when it's opened. As long as all your bags are the same size and shape, you can make a booklet using almost any of this type of paper bag. At this point, you can continue adding bags as you wish, though you don't have to. The more bags you add, the  more pages your booklet will have. If you want to add more bags, use the same alternating  pattern you've established — your next bag should be flap side-up with its flap on the right, the bag after that should have its flap on the left, and so on. If you stick with just three bags, your booklet will have a total of 10 pages once it's completed.
