Look over sales figures for past years to determine which times in the year account for the higher percentage of your sales. Are they constant? Do you experience higher sales in winter or summer? Measure the increase or decrease in sales during these times. Was the change higher or lower in certain years? Then, think about why this might be the case. Use what you've learned and apply it to the current year's forecast. For example, if you sell snow boots, you might have experienced a particularly large boost in sales in a cold winter. If this year is forecasted to be a similarly cold winter, you should increase your demand forecast accordingly. This refers to situations where a change in your product or its market resulted in higher or lower sales. Create charts of your historical sales for the product and mark important dates, for example a price increase or the introduction of a competing product. This can also be broader, like a reaction to the shifting economy or changes in consumer spending. Read relevant trade journals and newspaper articles to gather this information. Having all of this data at hand can give you a better idea of what might affect your future demand. A life cycle refers to the "life" of your products, between when it was first introduced and the present day. Look at the sales of your product at various stages. Examine the nature of customers who buy the your product during these stages. For example, you will have early adopters (those who love the latest technology), mainstream buyers (people who wait for product reviews and referrals), laggards (they only buy when the product has been out for a long time), and other types of consumers. This will help you determine your product’s life cycle trends and the demand patterns for your product. The industries that use this model the most include high technology, fashion, and products facing short life cycles. What makes this approach unique is that the cause of the demand is directly linked to the product’s life cycle. Create a model that...

TL;DR in English: Examine previous years' sales for monthly or seasonal trends. Look for customer reactions. Create a life cycle model. Use a simulation model.

The receiver must be close enough to both the TV and a power source that you can adequately plug it into both. Your receiver may also need plenty of room to vent heat, so don't lock it in a cabinet. Most surround sound systems have ports for each speaker that you simply plug the appropriate connector into. Some older systems have clips that you plug bare speaker wire into. To accomplish this, you'll need to strip some of the wire away with wire cutters and then clip them into place on the back of the speaker. Do everything you can to hide your wires as you run them, as doing so will prevent people or animals from accidentally tripping on them and pulling your speakers.  If you can, run the wires under the carpet or through the wall. Make sure to leave some slack at each end to keep the connection from becoming stressed. Connect one end of your speaker wire to the back of a speaker, then connect that speaker to another speaker in sequence. Each of your speakers should be connected in a line around your room from one front speaker all the way around to the other front speaker.  You'll connect the front speakers to the receiver via AV cables. Do not connect the front speakers to one another via speaker wire. Exclude your subwoofer from this process unless otherwise directed by the manual. Subwoofers almost always plug directly into the audio receiver. Most subwoofers connect to the receiver via a standard set of AV cables.  The subwoofer port on the receiver is typically labeled "sub out" or "sub pre-out". If your subwoofer has multiple inputs, connect to the one labeled "LFE in" or the far left input if there is no label. Your receiver will slowly power on after doing so, though it may take several minutes to completely come online if this is the first time you're setting it up. Things like game consoles, DVD players, and cable boxes will use the TV's HDMI input as their audio output, so plug these items into the receiver to route their audio through your surround sound. You'll need to attach the receiver to...

TL;DR in English: Place your receiver near your TV. Examine how your speakers connect. Run wire from each speaker to the receiver. Connect the speakers to each other. Connect the subwoofer. Plug your receiver into a power source. Connect HDMI items to the receiver. Connect the receiver to the TV. Plug back in and turn on your TV. Test out your surround sound.

You've probably graphed points with Cartesian coordinates before, using (x,y){\displaystyle (x,y)} notation to mark locations on a rectangular grid. Polar coordinates use a different kind of graph instead, based on circles:  The center point of the graph (or "origin" in a rectangular grid) is the pole. You can label this with the letter O. Starting from the pole, draw a horizontal line to the right. This is the polar axis. Label the axis with units as you would the positive x-axis on a rectangular grid. If you have special polar graph paper, it will include many circles of different sizes, all centered on the pole. You do not have to draw these yourself if using blank paper. On the polar plane, a point is represented by a coordinate in the form (r,θ){\displaystyle (r,\theta )}:  The first variable, r{\displaystyle r}, stands for radius. The point is located on a circle with radius r{\displaystyle r}, centered on the pole (origin). The second variable, θ{\displaystyle \theta }, represents an angle. The point is located along a line that passes through the pole and forms an angle θ{\displaystyle \theta } with the polar axis. . In polar coordinates, the angle is usually measured in radians instead of degrees. In this system, one full rotation (360º or a full circle) covers an angle of 2π{\displaystyle \pi } radians. (This value is chosen because a circle with radius 1 has a circumference of 2π{\displaystyle \pi }.) Familiarizing yourself with the unit circle will make working with polar coordinates much easier. If your textbook uses degrees, you don't need to worry about this for now. It is possible to plot polar points using degree values for θ{\displaystyle \theta }.

TL;DR in English: Set up the polar plane. Understand polar coordinates. Review the unit circle

A good financial advisor can help you manage your life’s savings to make the most use of your money in retirement. Ideally, you may have begun working with a financial planner long before retiring. If not, it is never too late to start. A good advisor can help you plan investments, set budgets, and use your money wisely. To find a good financial advisor, ask your friends or colleagues for recommendations. You may ask the manager of your own bank for referrals as well. (In many cases, your local bank may offer the services you need.) Meet with prospective advisors and ask some of the following questions:  Do you specialize in retirement planning or management? How do you charge for your services? What is your investment strategy for someone in my position? How much communication can we expect with you? Either on your own or with the help of a financial planner, it is important to know your financial situation from month to month. You need to set a budget that accounts for all your monthly expenses and identifies the sources of income. You may have finished paying the mortgage, but you might still have car payments. You certainly will need to make payments for utilities, food and other ongoing costs. Be thorough and list everything. Compare your monthly expenses with whatever sources of income you can count on. Consider whether you will draw from a pension account, from savings, or from any other sources you may have available. Many people find that retirement means reduced income. In order to handle that and keep up a good credit score, you may find that you need to reduce your monthly expenses. Some of this may be easy, like cooking at home more often and reducing entertainment expenses. Some other reductions may be more challenging to accept but can have very meaningful and positive effects on your spending. For example, consider the following:  Cut back on an extra car. If you and your spouse have been using two cars, you may want to consider cutting back to one. This will reduce monthly insurance bills,...

TL;DR in English: Work with a reliable financial advisor. Set a budget for monthly expenses. Reduce your monthly expenses. Increase your income as needed.

Sample the puree as it's simmering or after it has been blended to ensure that the balance of sweet and tart flavors is just right. Recipes are important guidelines for making sure a dish comes out correctly, but the best cooking is always done to taste and can be altered based on personal preference. Add more sugar to give the puree a more dessert-like quality, or increase the lemon juice to bring out the natural acidic notes of the raspberries when the puree is used in other recipes.  Simmering the puree as opposed to blending it can give you more control over the flavor, as the heat will cook out the natural tartness of the raspberries, and sweetness and tartness can then be modified using sugar and lemon juice. Always taste purees and sauces as they're being prepared. Up the amount of sugar in the recipe, or supplement with confectioners sugar or honey for a sweeter variety of puree. Not everybody likes sour things, and the tart flavors of the raspberries and lemon juice can dominate when not counterbalanced by sweeteners. Sweetening the puree will make it more palatable when it is being served on its own as a topping or on the side as part of a dessert plate. Confectioners sugar blends and dissolves better than regular granulated sugar because of how finely it is ground. If you want your puree nice and thick, use 2/3 tablespoons of cornstarch along with 1/4 cup of water to bulk up the consistency. Cornstarch will do little to affect the flavor of the puree, but will thicken it nicely to allow it to stand up better to cooking, microwaving and thawing after it's been frozen. Thickened raspberry purees can even be used as fillings for cupcakes and pastries, which require that the texture be more substantial.  Stir in the cornstarch a little at a time until the desired thickness is reached. Adding too much at once may cause the puree to congeal.  Keep in mind that the puree will thicken on its own somewhat as it cools. Use orange juice, water or even honey in place of lemon juice to cut down on the tartness...

Determine the purpose and audience. Determine how frequently you will publish. Decide on your newspaper’s circulation. Decide on the newspaper’s size. Figure out how you’d like to publish the paper. Determine how you will finance the newspaper. Give your newspaper a short name.

Your doctor can diagnose if it really is a bladder infection or something else. If you can’t get an appointment with your normal doctor, try visiting an urgent care center.  If you suspect a bladder infection, you can purchase a urinary tract infection home test kit at your local pharmacy. You can also check your urine for signs of infection by urinating into a clear glass container and letting it sit for a while. Hold the glass up to the light and look for clouding or sediment. These are both signs of infection. Symptoms of a bladder infection include a constant desire to urinate, a burning sensation when you urinate, red or cloudy urine, a foul unusual smell from your urine, or pelvic pain in women. If you have a fever, chills, flushed skin, or back pain, the infection may have spread to your kidneys. Get immediate medical care. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you could be pregnant. Your doctor may ask you to urinate into a cup. Follow your doctor’s instructions for this test. Generally, you will step into the bathroom and clean your genitals using an antibacterial wipe given to you by your doctor. Hold the cup above the toilet as you urinate into it.  Your doctor may be able to test the sample right in their own office. In some cases, however, they will need to send it off to a lab. Some types of bacteria are resistant to certain antibiotics, so your doctor may want to get a culture and sensitivity test done on your urine to be sure you are getting the most effective treatment. Make sure to follow up with them about the results. Your doctor will likely prescribe you a pill to take once or twice a day. Although discomfort and burning may clear up in a few days, do not stop taking your antibiotic until you have gone through the full course of medication.  Women may take antibiotics for as few as 3 days, although pregnant women may need them for up to 2 weeks. Men will usually take antibiotics for 1-2 weeks. If you stop taking the medication, the infection could return, and it may be harder to...

TL;DR in English: Visit your doctor if you are worried about a bladder infection. Undergo a urine analysis to diagnose the infection. Take a prescription antibiotic according to your doctor’s instructions. Check into the hospital for IV treatment in severe situations.

Most cases of placenta previa are diagnosed during a routine appointment. Whether you have concerns about this condition or not, regular prenatal care is one of the most important aspects of a healthy pregnancy. See your midwife or obstetrician regularly, and do not skip appointments. Getting regular care means seeing your doctor as soon as you think you're pregnant. After that, your doctor will schedule appointments as needed. In general, you should contact your doctor if you have vaginal bleeding at any point in your pregnancy; it can indicate a potential miscarriage or a number of other problems. If you have bright red bleeding (but no pain) at any point from the second trimester onward, it may also be a symptom of placenta previa.  Bleeding related to placenta previa can be light or heavy, and it is not necessarily constant; it may stop and then recur. If your bleeding is heavy, it's best to go to the emergency room instead of waiting to hear from your doctor. To confirm the presence of placenta previa, your doctor will order an ultrasound to view the location of your placenta. In some cases, you may need to undergo both an abdominal and a transvaginal ultrasound. Transvaginal ultrasounds are performed by inserting a narrow transducer into your vagina. You may also need an MRI, but that test is not often done. Like bleeding, contractions before your ninth month always merit a visit to your doctor. These contractions might indicate preterm labor or other problems, or they may be a sign of placenta previa. It can be difficult to distinguish between true contractions and the normal Braxton-Hicks contractions that many women notice during pregnancy. Do not feel worried or embarrassed about checking with your doctor to be sure. Generally, the cliché that it's better to be safe than sorry applies here. If your doctor diagnoses you with placenta previa, ask for the specifics. There are several different kinds, including a low-lying placenta, a partial placenta previa, and a total placenta previa.  A low-lying...

TL;DR in English: Get regular prenatal care. See your doctor if you notice any vaginal bleeding. Request an ultrasound. Seek help for early contractions. Ask for a specific diagnosis. Know the risk factors.

Martial arts schools often focus on one style of martial arts, especially for serious students. Wing Chun academies or clubs may be affiliated with a martial arts association. Search online or in a phone book for local Wing Chun schools.  Check with your local martial arts academies to see if they teach Wing Chun. They may only teach the basics, and if you are serious about learning advanced Wing Chun, you may need to go to an area that has more advanced classes. Meet with the sifu (instructor) and ask about their background. How many years of experience do they have? How did they learn Wing Chun? Sit in on a Wing Chun class. Get a feel for how the sifu conducts the class and how the other students respond. Learning Wing Chun in person is the most preferred method. Many websites have lessons for self-teaching Wing Chun. These usually provide videos and levels of instruction and have tiered subscription pricing based on your expertise level (beginner, intermediate, advanced, etc.) and access to material. These can be useful if you do not have qualified instructors or a Wing Chun school in your area. They can also enhance your in-person training if you do currently attend a Wing Chun school. Choose a DVD set or online course that is taught by a Wing Chun Grandmaster or Master.  Some online study courses also offer instructor certification for advanced students who would like to teach their own students. Some online courses may offer one-on-one instruction via webcam with a Grandmaster. There are apps available for assisting in your study of Wing Chun, available for Apple or Android phones. Examples include the “Wing Chun Online Course,” released and endorsed by the International Ip Man Wing Chun Martial Art Association, and the “Wing Chun Kung Fu Long Distance Learning” course. Find an area in your house where you can practice Wing Chun. Make sure there is enough room for you to move your body around in all directions. Check by swinging your arms and legs around. You do not want your moves to be hampered by...

Working with animals is a full-time responsibility, one that you won't be able to handle on your own. Adding a few other people to the payroll will ensure that the necessary feeding, cleaning, grooming, and administrative duties are taken care of while you focus on the challenges of ownership and operation. With a strong team, you can keep your animals healthy and contented and your business thriving.  Advertise jobs at your petting zoo to students, farm hands, and other individuals who are interested in working with animals on a part-time basis. In addition to hourly employees, you should hire at least one or two experienced animal handlers to see to the animals' daily needs. Entrance fees are how petting zoos make their money. With this in mind, come up with a price per head that you think is fair. It should be enough to generate the revenue you need to turn a profit, but not so high that it discourages people from coming in.  $8-10 for an adult is average, with a reduced rate of $5-7 for kids.  Offering special discounts for small children and seniors may help to attract more business. For appearances at birthday parties and other events, charge a flat rate somewhere between $100-200 per hour. For the most part, petting zoos are thought of as daytime activities. You can start admitting your first visitors as early in the morning as you like and let them come and go until daylight fades. Most commercial petting zoos remain open from about 10am to dusk. If you have lit indoor holding pens, you'll have the option of staying open even later.  Post your hours near the entrance of the zoo where they can be seen easily by those passing by. If you've launched a website for your business, be sure to list the information there, as well. Remember to update your hours to reflect holidays, special events, and necessary closures. Get the word out about your new petting zoo by circulating mailer notices and posting ads at places where animal lovers tend to shop, such as pet stores and farming supply retailers. If you...

TL;DR in English: Hire employees to help manage the animals. Decide how much you'll charge for admission. Set your hours of operation. Promote your business within the community.

Newspapers can report on happenings for a school, community or neighborhood, or organization. They can be local, regional, national or international in scope. Determine who your audience is and why you want to publish this newspaper. Be realistic about your reach. If you want to publish nationally, think about how you will reach your audience and convince them to read your paper. Newspapers can be published daily, weekly, monthly, or even less frequently. Think about how frequently your readers will want news. Think too about how you will be able to handle publishing as frequently as you would like. Do you have the staff to support frequent publishing? Are you doing everything yourself? Consider starting publishing less frequently and as your newspaper builds its readership and financial support, you can switch to a more frequent schedule. Circulation is the reach of your paper, or how many copies you will print and circulate. If you are publishing online, circulation numbers are measured in how many people visit and read your online newspaper. Think about how many copies you can afford to publish and how you can realistically distribute them. Choose a number of pages and size of the page for your newspaper. Newspaper pages are typically printed in multiples of 4, with smaller papers running about 8 pages, and larger newspapers running more pages than that. Think about how many sections you’d like in your paper (news, opinion, etc.) and how many pages to devote to each of these. Newspapers can be printed in hard copy, but increasingly, newspapers are turning to an exclusively online format. If you do print in hard copy, consider also offering some of your stories online, or at least having some kind of online presence. Consider too if you are publishing any of your pages in color or black and white . Online printing is in full color, but physical printing will cost more if you add colors. Talk with a printer to find out your options. Most newspapers are funded a combination of advertising and subscriptions or...

Mix your grout according to the directions on the package; usually grout is mixed with water in a 5 gallon (18.9 L) bucket. Use a masonry float to spread the grout into the spaces between the tiles, creating a smooth surface. Remove the excess grout you get on the tiles with a sponge. Seal the grout

The percent increase formula calculates the percent increase in a cost as a percentage of the previous cost. Written out in full, the formula is Percent Increase=(New Cost−Previous Cost)Previous Cost×100{\displaystyle {\text{Percent Increase}}={\frac {({\text{New Cost}}-{\text{Previous Cost}})}{\text{Previous Cost}}}\times 100}. The ×100{\displaystyle \times 100} at the end converts the difference from a decimal to a percentage. Start your calculation by putting your variables into the formula. Then, simplify the part of your equation in parentheses by subtracting the previous cost from the new cost. For example, if you bought a gallon of milk a month ago for $2.50 and, today, it is $3.50, subtract $2.50 from $3.50 to get the dollar amount of the change, or $1.00 in this case. Your next step is to divide the result of the last step by the previous price. This essentially converts the different between the new and old costs to a proportion of the previous cost.  In the example, this would be $1.00 (the result of the previous step) divided by $2.50 (the previous cost). The result is 0.40, which is expressed as a number rather than a dollar amount. Multiply the answer by 100 to get the percentage increase. The result will be the percentage that the previous cost has been increased by to arrive at the new cost.  In the example, this is 0.40×100{\displaystyle 0.40\times 100}, which is 40 percent. So, the cost of a gallon of milk has increased by 40 percent between the previous and new costs.

TL;DR in English: Understand the percent increase formula. Subtract the previous cost from the new cost. Divide the difference by the previous cost. Convert the answer to a percentage.

Situate the pot upside down so that water will be able to flow through it during the wash cycle. Keeping the neti pot at a distance from the force washing action will prevent it from becoming damaged. On the uppermost rack, the device will receive a more gentle cleaning.  Protecting your neti pot from damage is especially important if it's constructed of a breakable material like ceramic or features a lot of small, delicate pieces.  Set the lid, along with any other removable parts, on the rack next to the pot. If your dishwasher allows you to change the temperature settings, set it as low as it will go. Intense heat can melt or warp neti pots made of plastic. This is another reason why it's a good idea to make room for the device on the top rack where it won't be exposed to the hot water as constantly or directly. Be sure to check the manufacturer's cleaning recommendations included with your device before putting it through the dishwasher. It won't take long for the dishwasher to successfully sanitize your neti pot, so the shortest wash time will suffice. Once it's complete, carefully remove the device and set it aside on a clean towel or dish rack. Allow the neti pot to finish cooling and drying before resuming use.  The dishwasher will also take care of the drying process, saving you time compared to air drying. Ceramic and metal neti pots will be extremely hot when they first come out of the dishwasher, so handle them with caution.

TL;DR in English: Place the neti pot in the dishwasher on the top rack. Set the dishwasher to a low heat setting. Run a light wash cycle.

” One of the best and simplest ways to wish someone luck is use that very phrase. “Good luck!” is straightforward, heartfelt, and almost impossible to get wrong.  Make sure that you sound sincere. If said in the wrong tone, this phrase can be interpreted as sarcasm. So make sure that the person understands your sincerity when you express the sentiment. Some people dislike the phrase because, they feel, it carries a note of negativity. “Good luck” for them implies that you have little to do with your own success. Use the phrase at your discretion. If you are dealing with someone who dislikes “Good luck!” or if you want a more creative English expression, there are other sayings that essentially mean the same thing. Try one of these depending on the situation.  “Best of luck” or “hoping for the best” both carry the sentiment and are subtle variations. Crossing one’s fingers is often done to express a wish for luck, so you can also wish good luck by saying, “I’m keeping my fingers crossed.” Some actors feel that it is bad luck to say “Good luck!” before a performance. For this reason, it is traditionally better in the situation to “break a leg,” which refers to taking a bow at curtain call.  While not an exact match, people sometimes borrow the phrase “May the force be with you” from Star Wars to wish people luck with a challenging task. Other English variants include, “Knock them dead!” “You’ll do great,” or “Blow them away!” English is not the only language that has expressions for “Good luck,” of course. One way to stay fresh is to wish someone luck in a foreign language. This works especially well if the other person speaks that language or has some connection to its culture.  In Spanish, wish someone “¡Buena suerte!” Both “Viel Glück!” and “Alles Gute!” can be used to express well wishes in German, while “Bonne chance!” works in French. In Italian, try “Buona fortuna!” or “In bocca al lupo!” “Jūk néih hóuwahn” (祝你好運) is the Cantonese Chinese way of wishing luck, while “Gokoūn o inorimasu” (ご幸運を祈ります) is the...

Alcohol adds empty calories and it also lowers your inhibitions, so you end up eating more than you normally would. Limit yourself to no more than 1 drink per day if you’re a woman or 2 drinks per day if you’re a man. One alcoholic drink is 12  fl oz (350 mL) of beer, 5  fl oz (150 mL) of wine, or 1.5  fl oz (44 mL) of spirits. whenever you’re thirsty. Staying well-hydrated will help you to prevent confusing thirst with hunger, which may cause you to overeat or eat when you’re not actually hungry. Instead, drink water throughout the day and any time you get sweaty to keep yourself hydrated. Try carrying a reusable water bottle with you wherever you go and refill it any time it gets low. Being well-rested can help you to make better decisions about the foods you eat and have the energy to stick with your exercise routine. Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time each day to maintain a regular schedule. Some other things you can do to promote better sleep include:  Turning off electronic devices 30 minutes before you go to bed Avoiding caffeine in the afternoon and evening Keeping your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet Using your bedroom for sleep only and not working, eating, or paying bills in bed Being overwhelmed by your life or by your desire to lose weight quickly can make you feel stressed. Stress causes some people to eat more than they normally would and this can lead to weight gain. Set aside at least 15 minutes every day to relax.

It should have a peanut butter-like consistency. Like the thinset mortar, it should slake for 10 minutes and then briefly be mixed again before application. Float your grout in several different directions to make sure you're working the grout into the grout lines effectively and evenly. Work quickly here. The grout sets up fast — considerably faster than the mortar does. For this reason work only in small areas before branching out. Again, give yourself a small area to work on so that the grout doesn't set up before you have time to wipe it off the tiles. You can also use a damp cloth after this time to rub away any haze left over on the tile. Let the grout set for at least a few hours. after it has set for 72 hours. Use a grout sealer with an applicator brush and take care not to get any on the tile itself.

If you're hanging upside down, remember gravity is not on your side. Be 100% sure you're secure on the surface you're using. Use your hands to stay in place. You can even have someone else hold your feet to ensure you don't fall. Hanging upside down for prolonged periods can cause issues like dizziness and disorientation. Refrain from hanging upside down for more than five to 10 minutes at a time to avoid this. This should give you plenty of time to pull off the Spiderman kiss. Hanging upside down can be detrimental to your health. Conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, and glaucoma can be aggravated by hanging upside down. If you have any of these conditions, it's best to try the Spiderman kiss while lying down instead.

TL;DR in English: Account for gravity. Do not hang upside down for more than five or ten minutes. Do not hang upside down if you have chronic health conditions.

It doesn’t matter how attractive you are if you’re never actually in the same place as your crush (after all, she can’t notice you if you’re not there). Make your presence known, but be subtle about it. If she’s in one of your classes, choose a seat near her to put yourself in her line of sight. If you know where she works, pop in every now and then, or start frequenting the place next door.  If one of your friends is also friends with her, you might also try angling to get yourself invited to the next group hang. Avoid being too obvious about the fact that you’re trying to get closer to her. She may find it flattering, but there’s a better chance that she’ll find it creepy.   An offhand remark like, "I didn't know you came here to study. Care to make it a group sesh?" will likely be received much better than, "I was hoping I'd find you here. Do you want to hang out?" Make it a point for your crush to see you having a great time yucking it up with your BFFs. When you’ve always got an entourage with you, it sends the message that you’re a fun person to be around. If other people want to be in your presence so bad, your crush may start to wonder what she’s missing. Ask your close friends to play wingman (or wingwoman) for you when you’re in a situation where you might run into your crush. That way, they’ll be there to talk you up, laugh at your jokes, and make you look good in general. If you've got a dog, cat, bird, guinea pig, iguana, or goldfish at home, create an opportunity to let her see you with it. Broadcasting the fact that you're a caring pet owner will show her that you’re responsible, affectionate, and not afraid of commitment. This is a surefire way to score yourself some bonus points.  Pets can also serve as excellent conversation starters, since almost everyone loves making new furry friends. If you're currently not close enough to see each other outside of school or work, or you don't have a good excuse to bring your pet around, offer to show her some pictures of your animal companion instead....

TL;DR in English: Find excuses to hang around her. Surround yourself with friends. Introduce her to your pet. Pay her a no-strings-attached compliment. Use social media to make her aware of your existence.

If you're tired of the "typical" ways of having fun on your computer, why not take your passion to the next level? Learning how to code allows you design and write your own computer programs from the ground up. It's a little like learning a new language and can be a bit of a challenge, but it can be seriously rewarding (plus, it looks great on your resume.)  There are a lot of different programming languages out there. Though there's no "right" way to learn to program, here are five languages frequently recommended for beginners:  Python C/C++ Java Javascript Ruby   Check out CodeAcademy.com for free interactive coding tutorials in a number of programming languages. Do you find yourself spending tons of time online? If so, consider learning the basics of web design so that you can create your own sites and give back to the online community! Some basic web design skills overlap with the list of basic programming languages above (for instance, many sites use Javascript.) On the other hand, skills like HTML coding offer the chance to learn web-centric programming. Did you know that you don't necessarily have to use the operating system your computer came with? It's true — Mac computers can run Windows, PCs can run macOS, and both can run Linux! Getting these setups can be tricky, so consult the support page of the program you use (or browse our help articles) if you run into problems.  To run Windows on a Mac, use:  Boot Camp (comes pre-installed or available for free download) Parallels Desktop for Mac   To run a Mac OS on a PC, use:  A bootable USB drive  A virtual machine app like VMWare.   Also consider alternatives like Ubuntu, Debian, and Haiku. If you can't get the performance you want out of your computer the way it is, consider opening it up and changing your physical hardware. Depending on what you intend to do, this can actually be surprisingly easy (as long as you have a PC, as most Mac upgrades have to be done by Apple). However, since it's easy to damage the fragile components inside a computer,...

TL;DR in English: Learn to write code. Learn web design. Explore new operating systems. Upgrade your computer.

It's simpler than it looks: A=P∗CF∗DT{\displaystyle A=P*{\frac {C}{F}}*{\frac {D}{T}}}  "A" is the accrued interest earned. This is the figure you are solving for. "P" is the par value of the bond. "C" is the annual coupon rate or interest rate. For our purposes it should be expressed as a decimal. Simply take the interest rate shown in the bond indenture and divide by 100 to produce the decimal equivalent. For example, a 6% rate would be expressed as 0.06 (6/100).  "F" is the payment frequency (or number of payments per year). This would be 2 for semi-annual payments or 1 for annual ones. "D" is the number of days since your latest coupon payment. "T" is the total number of days in a payment period. This would be 360 for annual payments and 180 for semi-annual ones. Simply put all of the above information into the appropriate places in the equation. Double-check everything to make sure it's expressed correctly.  In the above example, we will use a bond with a par value of $1000 paying a 6% coupon rate semi-annually with a 30/360 DCC. Two months (60 days) have passed since the last payment, so "D" is 60. The total days in the payment period is 180, because payments are made twice per year (360/2=180). The sample equation with all variables included would look like this: A=$1000∗0.062∗60180{\displaystyle A=\$1000*{\frac {0.06}{2}}*{\frac {60}{180}}} This simply means dividing the coupon rate by the payment frequency. This reflects the interest rate earned in each payment period. In the equation, this is C divided by F.  In our example, this calculation would give a rate of 0.03. The equation will look as follows after this calculation: A=$1000∗(0.03)∗60180{\displaystyle A=\$1000*(0.03)*{\frac {60}{180}}} Divide the number of days that have passed since the latest payment by the number of days in your current payment period. This is the final part of the equation. In the example, this calculation would be 60/180, or 0.333. The equation should now look like this: A=$1000∗(0.03)∗(0.333){\displaystyle...

Communication is the most important element of any relationship. If you don’t communicate, you won’t know each other’s problems and concerns. As a result, you won’t be able to form a relationship that is respecting of both of your unique qualities. Both parties need to define boundaries and come to a mutual agreement about each other’s space, independence, and autonomy. You need to understand what your elderly person is comfortable with when it comes to being assisted or being subtly monitored to make sure they are okay.  Talk to them about their expectations about your relationship. What do they expect of you in terms of assistance and interaction? Discuss use of shared space like the bathroom, kitchen, or living room. Come to an agreement about under what circumstances family or friends will visit. Discuss use of each other's personal belongings, like dishes, appliances, and even food. Figure out who pays for what ahead of time. Having finances decided and agreed upon ahead of time could save you from a headache or even legal fees in the future. Records will make a big difference here, so if you start out knowing who pays for what, and have it written down, you are ahead of the game. Also, consider the following:  Include relatives in discussions about money. If you’re going to be living with an elderly family member, make sure to speak with your other relatives to be transparent about your financial agreement. Be open to their feedback, especially if they will be contributing to the cost. This will help you avoid problems and resentment in the future. Consider the cost. If you will be covering the cost of your elderly relative, be informed about the costs. One recent study found that caregivers spend about $5,500 per year caring for elderly relatives. Another study concluded that caregivers spent almost $15,000 a year caring for their elderly relative. Avoid treating the person like a child. Older people have experienced life much more deeply than we often appreciate, and have many more life experiences....

TL;DR in English: Communicate with your elderly roommate. Define boundaries. Figure out finances. Give the person respect as an individual. Give the person privacy. Support the older person's autonomy. Appreciate their wisdom and life experiences.

Just like a cat, a rabbit will purr when happy. This sound helps you understand when the rabbit is happy, so you can repeat behaviors the rabbit likes. Unlike a cat, a rabbit's purr is made with its teeth, so listen for the sound coming from the mouth. Striking back with aggression or even an angry tone when a rabbit is aggressive only makes it more aggressive. Instead, treat every advance with a happy tone, such as, "Hi, I'm glad you've come to see me." You can still move your limbs out of the way, but with calmness and deliberateness. While you need to stay calm, you can help your rabbit learn that biting hurts. If your rabbit nips, it's okay to make a sound like "Ow!" or even a high-pitched "EEK!" That cues the rabbit in to the fact that it's hurting you. In turn, you're encouraging the rabbit to stop the behavior, partially because you're startling it. Every rabbit is going to have things it doesn't like. For instance, your rabbit may not like to see you mess with its litterbox. Alternatively, your rabbit may not like its paws touched. Another thing your rabbit may not like is having someone in its cage. Once you figure out what upsets your rabbit, you can take steps to minimize those triggers. Sometimes, your rabbit will let you know it doesn't want to come out of its cage by moving to the back. If you need the rabbit to come out of the cage, don't drag it out. Rather, open the cage and let it hop out in its own time. If it doesn't want to come out, consider offering a treat outside the cage. You can even put a treat in a carrier so the rabbit has something to hop into.

TL;DR in English: Listen for purring. Reward aggression with calmness. Make a sound when the rabbit bites. Watch for triggers. Entice, don't force.

These devices are easier to use than a multimeter, though they don't do as much as a multimeter. These testers have a slide that moves back and forth to adjust to different battery sizes. Open the slide and insert a AA, AAA, C, or D battery into the slot with the positive side touching the slide. Then check the display for the volt reading.  To test a 9v, some meters have a separate port to touch the battery against for a reading. Check your meter to see if it has this feature. Some meters can also test lithium ion batteries if they’re shaped like standard alkaline batteries, but not if they’re irregularly shaped.

TL;DR in English: Place the battery in a battery tester for a simple reading.

Though technically all vegetables can be steamed, certain vegetables steam better than others, and all of them steam at different rates. Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, asparagus, artichokes, and green beans will all turn out nicely and are standard steaming fare. But if you want to get creative, throw in some potatoes or radishes, too! Here's a brief rundown on steaming times:  Asparagus: 7 to 13 minutes, or 4 to 7 minutes if you cut up the spears into short pieces Broccoli: stalks for 8 to 12 minutes, florets for 5 to 7 minutes Carrots: 7 to 12 minutes, depending on their size and how much you cut them up Cauliflower: 5 to 10 minutes for florets Corn on the cob: 7 to 10 minutes Green beans: 5 to 7 minutes  Potatoes, sliced: 8 to 12 minutes Spinach: 3 to 5 minutes Since some veggies take longer to steam than others, it’s a good idea to keep them separate when you cook them. That way, you won’t end up with some vegetables that are limp and soggy, while others are still crunchy and raw in the middle. You can cook different types together, but you may need a way to keep them separate in the steamer so you can easily remove the faster-cooking vegetables as soon as they’re done.  For example, potatoes will take much longer to steam than green beans, so it’s best not to mix them up while you’re steaming them. You can also speed up the cooking time of denser vegetables by cutting them up into smaller pieces.

TL;DR in English:


Do regular back-ups of your information. Get into the habit of making nightly or weekly backups (whatever fits your needs).

The cast page is commonly the second page in a small playbill. Its purpose is to list the names of the players and the names of their characters. Names of the actors are typically listed on the left side of the page, and character names are listed on the right side. If you don’t know this information yourself, you’ll need to find out. Ask the play’s director or casting manager for the list of actor names and the names of the corresponding characters.  The top of the page can simply read “Cast” or “Players.” Beneath this, it’s common to include a line stating “(in order of appearance),” “(in order of speaking),” or “(in alphabetical order),” according to the director’s preference. The Cast Page can be complex, if the director adds or removes extras or inevitable spelling errors crop up. Start working on this page early in the design process. In order to help audience members follow along with the action of the play, it’s common to include a scene list in the playbill. This page is typically structured like an outline: list the numbers or names of scenes, and within each scene, specify the number and name of each individual act, along with any musical numbers. The list of acts and scenes (and musical numbers) may take up two pages, if you’re creating a playbill for a longer play, or one with many acts. Typically, playbills will provide the audience with the names of all the characters who perform in a certain song or musical number. Under “Act 1” and “Scene 1,” list all of the songs vertically. On the right side of the page, list the character names. For example, for a production of Annie Get Your Gun, list “Annie Oakley and Frank Butler” across from a song in which only those two characters perform. If the director requests, include a very brief description of the plot within each act to help the audience follow the action. The playbill could provide a more detailed plot summary, if you’re concerned that your audience members may become confused about which character is which. For example, if you’re creating a...

TL;DR in English: Fill out the Cast Page. Create a list of acts and scenes. List ensemble members within each song. Provide a brief plot summary for each act. Add a page crediting the crew. Add a “Credits” or “Thank You” page.

The key to a successful flowchart is its readability. Make sure that your core concepts are simply stated, and that the progression from concept to concept is explained in simple steps. Make sure that you have a distinct end point for your chart planned. This will help make it easier to read. A standard flowchart breaks a process down by its key concepts and required actions. If you have multiple groups involved in the process outlined by the flowchart, a swimlane format can help show who needs to do what. Each flowchart step is placed in the “Lane” for the group responsible for completing the task (Marketing, Sales, HR, etc.).  Swimlanes are typically formatted horizontally or vertically. The starting point is the top-left corner of the chart. Swimlanes can be difficult to design if you have multiple concepts that have to travel back and forth between departments. This will lead to muddled charts. Before you start designing your flowchart through software, draw it out on a scratch piece of paper. Place your starting concept at the top, and expand the chart out below it.  Most flowcharts operate on a basic binary principle. At points in the process where variations occur, the reader is presented with a Yes or No question. The answer will guide the reader to the appropriate concept. Use different shapes to represent different types of concepts or decisions. Adding visual cues will help with readability and comprehension. If areas of your flowchart are becoming too dense, separate the subprocess into a new flowchart. Add a box as a reference to the subprocess in the original flowchart, and have the reader return to it when they get through the expanded section.

TL;DR in English: Write out your core concepts. Decide between a standard or swimlane format. Layout your flowchart. Separate complex processes.

A Grade 1 prolapsed bladder usually requires no medical treatment as long as it is not accompanied by pain or discomfort for the sufferer. Check with your physician as to whether she recommends medical treatment or more of a "wait-and-see" approach. If your symptoms do not bother you very much, your doctor is likely to recommend basic treatment approaches including Kegel exercises and physical therapy.  Note that your physician may recommend that you back off certain activities, like weight lifting or other activities that put strain on your pelvic muscles. It's still healthy to exercise regularly, though.  You should also know that how your symptoms affect your quality of life is a key factor in deciding on treatment. For example, you may have a severe prolapse but are not troubled by your symptoms. In this case, you could talk with your doctor about less severe treatment options. On the other hand, you might have a mild prolapse, but the symptoms cause you significant distress or inconvenience. You could talk with your doctor about a more aggressive approach. Kegel exercises are performed by contracting the muscles of your pelvic floor (as if you were attempting to stop the flow of urine), holding them for a brief period, and then releasing them. Regular performance of these exercises, which require no special equipment and can be performed anywhere (including while waiting in line, at a desk, or relaxing on the couch), can strengthen your muscles. In mild cases, they can keep your prolapsed bladder from descending further. To perform Kegel exercises:  Contract, or tighten, the pelvic floor muscles.  These are the muscles used to stop the flow of urine when urinating. Hold the contraction for five seconds and then relax for five. Work up to holding the contraction for ten seconds at a time. Your goal is three to four sets of 10 repetitions of the exercises daily A pessary is a small, silicone device that, when inserted into the vagina, holds the bladder (and other pelvic organs) in place. Some are made for...

TL;DR in English: See if you need treatment. Practice Kegel exercises. Use a pessary. Try estrogen replacement therapy. Undergo surgery.

Use this line as a guide while you perform your cartwheel. You can even use painter’s tape to create a real line across a carpet or a mat. This line should be at least several feet long. Try to stay on the line, as if the line is a balance beam. But do not focus on just the line. Focus on form too.  Make sure the area around your line is free and clear. Avoid practicing cartwheels near walls or pieces of furniture that you might run into. Injuries occur when you bump into something hard. Slightly bend your front leg at the knee and keep your back leg straight. Keep both feet pointing forward parallel to your imaginary line. Hold your arms straight up by your ears.  A common mistake is to start a cartwheel while facing sideways. Make sure you’re facing forwards as you prepare and start for your cartwheel. That is the correct way. Either leg can be your lead leg. Sometimes, however, it's more comfortable to use one leg instead of the other—you can try to figure out which one by doing a series of handstands, some starting with your right leg in front, others with your left. Whichever leading leg feels more natural is the one you should use for your cartwheel.You can determine your leading by watching which leg in splits feels more comfortable. Keep your arms straight by your ears as you lower them down to bring your head and torso down as well. Only lower your arms about halfway to the ground. Bring your back leg up while keeping it straight so your body forms a “T” shape.  This step requires balance. You may need to drop your leg several times before you find a balanced position you can hold. Don’t worry if you’re having trouble balancing. Once you get the hang of the cartwheel, you won’t have to hold this position for very long since it will all become one continuous and natural movement. Put down the arm on the same side of your body as your lead leg first. Then put your other arm down so they're spread about shoulder width apart, similar to the way they would be positioned for a handstand. Place both hands...

TL;DR in English: Picture an imaginary line extending straight in front of you. Lunge forward with your lead leg and raise your arms. Lower your arms towards the ground while raising your back leg. Place your hands on the mat as you turn your body sideways. Push off on your front leg, then bring your legs up in a V shape. Lower your lead leg as you lift the first hand you put down off the mat. Bring your other leg down while lifting your other hand off the mat. Land in a lunge facing in the opposite direction. Keep practicing until the movements feel comfortable.

If you want to catch the guy’s eye, then you shouldn’t hover around him, trying to make eye contact all day. Instead, you should work on doing your own thing, having a great time with your girlfriends, hitting up the dance floor, or just having a blast without needing a guy. You can smile at him and let him know you’ve noticed him, but focus on having a great time and he’ll want to be right there with you.   Of course, it’s impossible to be in a good mood all of the time. If you’re really having a down day, you shouldn’t feel the need to completely fake it. That said, though, you should work on cultivating a positive energy as much as you can. Potential boyfriends and potential friends are drawn to positive energy like moths to a flame. The more you laugh and the more joy you have in even the smallest things in life, like a clear night sky or an adorable puppy, the more people will be gravitating toward you. You shouldn’t be too chilly or mysterious if you want to get the guy you want, or he may think that you don’t really like him or that you’re just not very nice. Instead, you can be friendly, introduce yourself, and make a bit of small talk without letting him see that you really like him. Show him that you’re fun to talk to while leaving him wondering where your feelings are at; this will leave him to want to talk to you even more.  Don’t be afraid to say hi and to ask how he is. If he’s wearing a funny shirt, tell him you think it’s cool. Don’t put too much pressure on your first exchanges and just focus on having fun. Being friendly to others will also make you look like an awesome person who is worth getting to know. Don’t limit your friendliness to the guys you like and make an effort to get to know everyone in your orbit. Though you may think that “be yourself” is tired advice, the best thing you can really do to get the guy you want is to be just who you are instead of putting up a front or acting like a girl you think the guy would rather be with instead. Don’t hide your best qualities, even if...

Fortunately, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel to make money trading. There are 4 common trading strategies that you can use. If one doesn’t work for you, try a different one. Here are the most common trading strategies:  Swing/Range trading: With this strategy, you buy and sell stocks that tend to fluctuate often. Buy them when they’re at a low point, then sell them when they reach a high point. Spread trading: This strategy relies on the difference, or spread, between what stocks cost and what buyers are willing to pay for them. A buyer will put in a bid for a stock that’s lower than its value, and you as an investor can swoop in and buy the stocks at a lower price. Then, you can try to sell the stocks for their true value. Fading: To use this strategy, you buy a stock that’s become popular, then sell it when you think it’s reached its peak and buyers are starting to pull back. Momentum/Trend following: With this strategy, you pay attention to a stock’s ebb and flow so you can buy low and sell high. Stocks are the easiest asset to use for day trading, but you can also buy and sell other investments, like bonds, options, futures, or commodities. You might decide to start with stocks and branch out to other investments as you gain experience. Consider what types of investments are attractive to you. For instance, are you looking for stocks under a specific price target? Are you looking for tiny movements in heavily traded stocks? Do you want to stick to stocks you know? It’s helpful to set some performance metrics for yourself. This might include how much money you’re making or losing, how many sells you’re making in one day, and how much your investments varied in price that day. Determine how you will measure your progress before you get started. Consider how often you want to evaluate your progress. Will you review your data daily or weekly? How will you use your performance metrics to be more successful in the future? Although you hope to make money from your trades, don’t risk losing capital you can't...

TL;DR in English: Choose a trading strategy to increase your chances of success. Decide what you want to trade. Plan how you will measure your success. Set aside money you can afford to lose to use for trading. Expect the unexpected and plan and exit strategy. Practice trading to gain experience. Remember that "hope" is not a trading strategy.

You’ll need to sign many legal documents before you can buy the apartment complex. Don’t try to do everything yourself. Instead, you should hire an experienced attorney to draft and review all documents. The attorney can do the following:  Draft, negotiate, and review the purchase agreement. Seek credits from the owner to make necessary repairs. Ensure the title is clear. Set up escrow. If someone is injured at the apartment complex, they might sue you because you were careless in your upkeep. If you lose the lawsuit, then the injured person can come after your personal assets, such as your own home. By owning the complex through an LLC, your personal assets are shielded.  Owning the building as an LLC doesn’t protect you from all lawsuits. For example, your lender can sue you if you default on a recourse loan. Nevertheless, owning the apartment complex as an LLC will offer significant protection against personal injury and other lawsuits.  Start an LLC by filing appropriate documents with your Secretary of State and obtaining the necessary permits or licenses. Your lawyer may also help you, since this can be time-consuming. You’ll have to perform significant due diligence along with your attorney to close on a real estate contract. For example, you’ll need to do the following:  Have an appropriate title survey completed. Generally, a mortgage plot plan is insufficient. Instead, you’ll need an ALTA title survey. Review any disclosures about the property. For example, the owner might disclose that something is wrong with the property that wasn’t caught by the inspector. Review the tenant leases and documents for their assignment. Consider the impact of zoning restrictions on the apartment complex. If you want to convert a complex to mixed use, then this is a key step. Review service contracts for the apartment complex. Obtain required permits to make repairs. Your attorney should attend the closing along with a representative of your LLC (if you formed one). You should receive various documents at the closing,...

Gonorrhea presents itself with different symptoms and can occur on different parts of your body. Learning the symptoms of gonorrhea can help you identify them and get treatment for the disease.  You can get gonorrhea infections in your genitalia, rectum, eyes, throat, and possibly even in your joints. Most women have no or mild symptoms of gonorrhea, and they may seem like a bladder or vaginal infection.  The most common symptoms of gonorrhea include: a burning sensation when urinating, discharge from the penis or increased vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding between periods.  Infections in the rectum may cause no symptoms in both men and women, but you may experience discharge, anal itching, soreness, bleeding, or painful bowel movements.  Gonorrhea of the eyes may cause sensitivity to light and you may notice a pus-like discharge from one or both eyes. Gonorrhea of the throat may be accompanied by a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. If you have any symptoms of gonorrhea or suspect exposure, consult your doctor as soon as possible. She can confirm the disease and prescribe a course of treatment.  Your doctor will likely examine your genitals for symptoms and signs of gonorrhea. She may also perform lab or urine tests to confirm this diagnosis.  The most common medications used to treat gonorrhea are an injection of ceftriaxone given in conjunction with an oral antibiotic such as azithromycin or doxycycline.  Your partner should also get tested for gonorrhea. The treatment is the same for both partners if a diagnosis is concerned. If you don’t see a doctor and get treatment for gonorrhea, you increase your risk for serious health conditions. Knowing the risks of not getting treatment may influence your decision to see your doctor and get treatment.  Untreated gonorrhea can cause infertility in both men and women. Gonorrhea can increase your risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, especially HIV/ AIDS. Untreated gonorrhea can cause an infection that spreads to the rest of your body,...

Caterpillars don’t tend to move around too much once they find a good place to feed, so it’s perfectly possible to have a habitat that is open. A caterpillar habitat could be as simple as a single potted plant placed on a table, but if you want to have a bit more control of where your caterpillars can crawl to, find an open bucket or container.  If you have a clear container, this will make it easier for you to observe the caterpillars. Make sure it’s clean, but doesn’t have any lingering cleaning substances on the surfaces. Next you need to add the host plant to the container. You can do this in a variety of ways, such as just placing a potted plant into the bucket or container, or making some cuttings and placing them inside. Whichever method you use, make sure the leaves are a little damp to add some moisture.  If you are adding a whole plant, make sure the plant is healthy and will continue to thrive and grow. A plant will still need light to photosynthesis and remain healthy and a good food source for the caterpillars. If you are opting for an open container, you might consider adding a mesh, screen or net over the top of the plant or container. Your caterpillars may attract attention from predators and parasites in and around your home, such as spiders. Adding a net, such as a butterfly net, over the container or the plant can reduce the risk of this.  You will struggle to completely eliminate the danger of predators and especially parasites and parasitoids.  Regularly cleaning away frass can help, as spiders are drawn to the smell. Once you have built up your caterpillar habitat, it’s important that you pay close attention to it. This means regularly cleaning out frass, adding fresh cuttings from the host plant, and ensuring the environment is not too dry. This is a bit of work, but it also gives you time to enjoy observing the caterpillars as they prepare to pupate.  You can always add some extra things, such as pebbles or more greenery. Remember that once your caterpillar has found a good place to...

TL;DR in English: Find a bucket or open container. Add the host plant. Consider adding a screen or net. Maintain the habitat.

Spread your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your center of gravity between your legs with the knees bent and the body stable and unmoving. Your weight should be positioned mainly on the balls of your feet. In age uke, the body can be facing the opponent head-on or may be angled slightly to present less of a target. Create a solid base, but stay light on your feet so that you can move at a moment’s notice. To begin the blocking movement, your arms should be in a “chambered” position (fists clenched with fingers facing upward at either hip) or raised defensively in front of the body. This is to have them as close as possible to the anticipated strike in order to effectively protect the head and face. Your fists can be held open or closed, but do not clench them until the moment of impact. Clenching your fist creates unnecessary tension in the arms and shoulders, which can exhaust you and reduce your reactive speed. With the elbow bent at roughly 45 degrees, lift your blocking arm up and outwards in a tight arc until your forearm is held laterally over your forehead. As you begin the block, your forearm will catch your opponent’s strike and redirect their force safely over the top of your head or off to the side. This high blocking technique is known as age uke.  Age uke will stop high punches to the head, as well as downward smashing strikes with the fist or a bludgeoning weapon. Whenever possible, meet your opponent’s striking arm with both large bones of the forearm rather than the edge. This is known as a “double bone block,” and is much more effective at shutting down attacks as well as preventing injury. Now that your opponent’s strike has been deflected, their balance will be compromised and they will be open to a counter strike. Take advantage of the opportunity and strike back with a straight punch to the face or solar plexus. Both the block and the counterattack should be performed with quick, powerful motions, “snapping” the technique upon impact.  Power in the counter punch...

TL;DR in English: Assume the proper defensive stance. Have the arms poised and ready. Raise the blocking arm to meet the strike. Initiate a counterattack.

Some vitamins are taken once a week, while others are taken multiple times per day. Read the labels on your vitamins to find out when you should take them. You may want to set a reminder on your phone or computer to make sure you take the vitamins at correct time. Follow the dosage instructions on the vitamin's label. It is important not to take more than recommended. Your vitamins will also have suggestions on how best to take them, whether as soon as you wake up, on a full stomach, or with a glass of water. Follow these instructions for best results. Keep in mind it is possible to overdose on certain vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, are stored in your body and excess is not eliminated when you urinate, as with water-soluble vitamins. This means it is possible to, over time, have dangerous levels of these vitamins in your body, leading to toxicity. If you take the vitamins every morning, consider keeping them on a nightstand or in the bathroom. If you take them during the day, you may want to keep them in your purse or bag. Make taking your vitamins a habit. Try taking them before brushing your teeth at night or making coffee in the morning, so the task blends into these daily rituals.

TL;DR in English: Check the label for frequency. Follow instructions from the producer. Keep the vitamins in a convenient place.

Then make a well in the center of the flour. Whisk the eggs and flour together. Next, mix the water and milk in a deprecate bowl. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and stir into the batter. Strain if lumpy. Get the pan really hot, then turn the heat to medium. You'll need about 3 tablespoons for each crêpe. Tilt the pan so that the batter covers the base. Use a spatula to loosen it, then flip it over. Cook the other side for about 30 seconds. Fill the crêpes with fruit and plenty of maple syrup.

TL;DR in English: Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Break the eggs into the well. Add the liquid to the flour, a little at a time, whisking to make smooth batter. Melt more butter in a small frying pan. Add the batter. Cook the crêpe for about a minute. Serve immediately.

This can be a difficult task. Who you are is largely a reflection of how you think others see you. Consequently, there is a part of yourself that is a collection of things you've done and other memories of being in different situations. The other part is how you remember or think other people feel about you both now and in the past. Try writing a list of who you are. On a piece of paper, number 1 to 20. For each number, give a different answer to the statement "Who am I?". Then look at each statement and decide if that's primarily based on what you think of yourself or what others think of you. In any situation your initial response tends to be sub-cognitive. That's to say it is almost a "gut-feeling" that you have to make sense of. This is your intuition. Your intuition speaks to you with your inner voice to say to move forward or be cautious. Sometimes we have both an immediate feeling and counter-feeling. The immediate feeling is your initial impression. The counter-feeling is a cognitive (i.e., thought) response based on ideas such as "What 'should' I think or feel?" or "What would other people do?". That initial impression is your inner voice. Much of the time, your inner voice is in conflict with external motives. You imagine what society thinks or what your parents, friends, or partner might think. Your inner voice has conversations with these people as if a real discussion takes place. This is not to say that your initial impressions are more correct or accurate than the opinions of others. The goal is not to evaluate the information being presented--just to focus on what your own unique contribution is to a situation. If you know your inner voice you can identify your own intuition and beliefs. The other opinions that conflict or agree, by default, are then other people or groups. Even if you can't put a name or face to an opinion, knowing that the opinion is not of your inner voice is sufficient.  If you are a particularly submissive individual you may find it difficult to differentiate your inner...

TL;DR in English:


Bite your tongue. Be sure to take advantage of any medical care outside of prison if you have enough time. Line up some reading material. Keep your guard up if you are sent to a hold-over facility or a prison camp. Learn the rules. Bring the maximum amount of money that you are allowed with you to prison.

A child who has dyslexia may find it hard to read clocks, or to use typical written schedules. Try using picture schedules to help the child know what the day will bring. These can be hand-drawn, downloaded and printed from online sources, or found in an app of a smartphone.  Consider setting a phone alarm to provide additional reminders for time management. Set a limit on the time the student should expect to spend on homework, as a student who has dyslexia may spend more time than his peers on the same material. Since sequencing is difficult for most people with dyslexia, you can help support them by showing them the smaller steps that make up a larger task. Use checklists, or picture lists for younger students.  For example, providing a "homework checklist" which includes not only the pages to be read, and worksheets to be completed, but also steps like "get pen or pencil", "write your name on the top of the page," and "put homework in school folder when finished." If the student's visual memory is poor, rote copying will not be an effective way of learning. Instead, offer notes or handouts to help the student learn the information. Folders or binders with pockets to help a student organize his materials. Use color-coding, which supports separating the materials into different subjects.  Keep pens and pencils in a packet within the notebook for easy access. It can be a good idea to check and make sure that a student with dyslexia has the homework assignment written down correctly, and placed in the same position within his notebook every night. Consider providing a homework checklist to help with organization. Automated processes, the kind of rote memorization that allows for easy access to familiar activities, is often more challenging for someone with dyslexia. Poor memory recall is one of the hallmarks of the dyslexia. A better way of learning is to teach a person with dyslexia to rely on models that can provide a framework for effective learning.  An example of such a framework is the rule “I before E...

TL;DR in English: Use visual reminders to help with time management. Break tasks down into smaller parts. Provide folders to support organization. Help a person with dyslexia create models to support learning. Use an electronic reader (e-reader).

The type of work you will do can vary widely based on where you base your operations. For instance, the market in a resort town will likely have a lot of summertime rentals, whereas a large metropolitan area might require you to deal heavily in high-rise apartments. In addition, if your area is experiencing a time of slower economic growth, you'll need to be aware that it might take longer for you to build a strong customer base. You'll probably have a lot of questions at first, so you'll need someone who makes you feel at ease. A good broker will help you find customers while giving you guidance into your new career in real estate. Look for a broker who specializes in the area you want to specialize in. For instance, if your dream is to help new families find their dream home, you wouldn't want to choose a broker who specializes in commercial properties. In addition to the clients your broker helps you reach, you should also try to bring new clients into the brokerage firm. If you've been building your network, your first sales will likely come much more easily.  Try asking the people you know questions like, "Are you planning to move soon? Do you know anyone who is?" You can also reach out to potential clients on social media. Your real estate license is usually good for 2-4 years depending on your state. When you obtain your license, you'll receive instructions on how to renew it.

TL;DR in English: Study the market where you live. Talk to multiple brokers so you find one you're comfortable with. Reach out to your personal network. Renew your license when it expires.

Roses need between six and eight hours of sunlight each day. When choosing a location for your roses, pick somewhere that receives lots of direct sunlight.  In very warm climates, pick a location that gets indirect sunlight when the sun is at its hottest, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. This could include near a tree that provides some shade during the hottest time of day. In cooler climates, plant the roses in front of a south-facing or west-facing wall or fence to give the roses some extra protection and reflected heat. Roses need to be watered deeply, especially during their first year and during the warmer summer months. Provide deep soakings twice a week in summer to keep the soil consistently moist. The best way to water roses is with a drip irrigation system or soaker hose that concentrates water at the base and roots of the plant. If the flowers or foliage get wet, it could cause disease, fungus, and rot problems. Along with plenty of water and sunlight, roses also require regular feeding, especially before and during blooming periods. In the spring and summer, between the months of April and July, provide the roses with a monthly application of nutrients, such as:  Granular 5-10-5 or 5-10-10 fertilizer  Fish emulsions Seaweed extract Aged manure or compost Alfalfa meal Roses will thrive when they are pruned regularly, as pruning removes diseased stems, flowers, and leaves, and increases circulation throughout the plant. In the spring, use shears or loppers to remove dead flowers, diseased stems, and old leaves. Throughout the spring and summer, continue removing dead flowers and leaves as necessary.

TL;DR in English: Make sure they get lots of light. Water the roses often. Amend the soil with fertilizer. Prune often.

Your USB flash drive, external drive, or SD card should be attached to your Mac before you proceed. If you're on a recent model of Mac, you may need to get an adapter that plugs into one of your Mac's USB-C ports for your removable item. It's a menu item at the top of the screen. Clicking it will prompt a drop-down menu. If you don't see Go at the top of the screen, click the desktop or the blue, face-like Finder icon in your Mac's Dock to make it appear. This option is near the bottom of the Go drop-down menu. Double-click the hard drive-shaped "Disk Utility" icon to do so. A new window will open. Click your storage item's name in the upper-left side of the Disk Utility window. This stethoscope-shaped tab is at the top of the Disk Utility window. If the item's write protection is enabled because of an error on the item itself, the error will be resolved, and you'll be able to use the drive like usual. If the problem with the item is hardware-based, you'll need to take the drive into a data recovery service to attempt to save the item's contents.

TL;DR in English: Make sure that your storage item is plugged in. Click Go. Click Utilities. Open Disk Utility. Select your storage item. Click First Aid. Wait for your Mac to finish scanning.

If the judge doesn't allow you to self-surrender to the prison where you have been designated, you will be handed over to the U.S. Marshals Service. Do not speak to a Marshal or let them overhear a conversation about your case, or anything else for that matter. Nothing you can say will make the situation any better and it might even make things worse: just because you have already been convicted doesn't mean that you can't be charged with something else. Don't ever forget that anything you say can become evidence which can be used against you; keep your mouth shut as much as possible. The choice and quality of care is significantly better outside of prison. Certain treatments that you take for granted might not be available in prison, or won't be nearly as good. After all, if you're in prison and you don't like the prison dentist, where else are you going to go to have your teeth fixed? So, if there's time to do it, consider having a dental check-up before you self-surrender and get anything important fixed.  Also, if you wear glasses you may want to have an eye exam and get new lenses if you need them. As with dental care, you've got a better choice of lenses and frames outside prison. If you're lucky enough to have some time before prison, get a check-up or address any medical issues you've been having. Though you'll get medical care in prison, it's better to get medical attention before you're locked up. Most federal prisons allow magazines and books to be sent to inmates—on the condition that they are sent directly from the publisher or a retailer like Amazon. If you're self-surrendering and you know which prison you're going to be in, consider taking out a subscription for magazines/journals or ordering a couple of books from Amazon to read. Do this a couple of days before you self-surrender.  Alternatively, give your friends and family a shopping list of books/magazines and let them take care of ordering things. There's no web access in prisons, so make your selections before you enter prison. Though...

TL;DR in English:


Build your life. Get to know your friend's friend circles. Expand your own social circles. Distract yourself.

You should start with the hair in front/above your ear on the right side of your head. Spraying water on your roots will make it easier for you to part your hair into clean sections. You don’t have to spray water on the strand of hair, just at the root. Once again, start with the hair in front/above your ear on your right side. Use your sectioning tool at the end of your comb or a bobby pin to make a square that is even on both sides. Use the front part of your comb to gently detangle your hair so that it smooth and ready to be braided. Put a small amount of hair gel on the midsection and tips of your hair. The gel is going to help keep your hair smooth inside of the braid. Pick off a piece and divide the piece of synthetic hair into two pieces. You should make one piece a third of the thickness of the strand and the other piece should then be two thirds of the thickness of the strand. Then bring the the ⅓ piece around together so that you have three equal parts of synthetic hair that are the same length and thickness. To make your micro-braids longer, take the two strands of hair, the ⅓ and ⅔ strands, and hold them both at the ⅓ mark, instead of at the half, so that the hair will hang down longer. Then wrap the ⅓ thickness strand of synthetic hair around the ⅔ strand of hair at the same ⅓ point on both strands. This will make your strands longer. You should have three strands of hair, and you should put your left index finger in between the two strands of hair that was the ⅔ piece, and make a fist with that hand. A V of the synthetic hair should be between your index finger and the point where the two strands are wrapped around each other. Then with your three fingers, thumb, forefinger, and middle fingers, of your right hand, hold the remaining strand of hair that was wrapped around the ⅔ strand so that it is secure. Twirl your right hand so that your hand is under the V. Going underneath the V, you should put your right index finger into the space where your left index finger is. With your right hand,...

TL;DR in English: Spray the roots of your hair with water where you want to start braiding. Section off a ¼ inch by a ¼ inch section of hair. Detangle the strand of hair with your comb and apply hair gel. Take a piece of synthetic hair about ⅛ to ¼ inch in thickness. Wrap the ⅓ piece of hair around the ⅔ piece of hair at the middle of both strands. Position your hands on the synthetic strands. Position one hand on the synthetic strands. Open your index finger and thumb and grab the section of real hair. Position your left arm over your head so that you can work better with your left hand. Start the braid. Repeat the process 4-5 times. Add hair to the short strands. Do a slipknot at the end of the hair. Clean up the braids with your scissors. Continue sectioning and braiding using a brick pattern.

To develop a good work ethic, you will have to take work seriously, and aim to do it well. This doesn’t mean that many important aspects of your life that are not related to work, nor does it mean that you have to work all the time. During work time, work-related tasks should be your primary concern, and make sure you balance your work life and non-work life so that you have enough time and energy to do your work well. If you are partially or completely in charge of setting your own work time, you will have to be sure to minimize distractions when working, and to work for a set period of time. Set a specific number of hours (e.g. 6 hours) and treat it like you're in a professional office. Factor in time for breaks and meals, if necessary. Diligently maintaining a log of the hours you work will help you to do this. . Being respectful of others, showing consistency and reliability, being honest, and other values are part of developing a good work ethic. Many of these values have to do with how you treat others; a work ethic doesn’t just mean working hard, but also working well with others. When you make a mistake or don’t complete your work, don’t make excuses. Owning your mistakes or shortcomings and promising to improve in the future shows maturity and a willingness to work well with others. Aside from working doing your tasks well, you can cultivate a good reputation at work by being honest, following workplace rules (concerning punctuality, breaks, time off, etc.), and being fair to others. Avoid gossiping at work. This will show that you are focused on your job, treat others fairly, and are a good team player. Be personable and wish your coworkers well, but don't get caught up in gossip, oversharing, or office drama. Staying focused, and making choices that will benefit you in the long run are also part of developing a good work ethic. This means being able to tell yourself, and others, when work needs to come first. Values like dedication, ambition, and persistence are valued by employers, and can lead to...

TL;DR in English: Make work a priority. Be professional Maintain a good reputation at work. Practice self-discipline. Set aside time specifically for work. Know your distractions, and minimize them when working. Understand how your work speed may vary.

When you’re having a face-to-face conversation with a colleague, focusing on their eyes and face is the best way to let them know you’re listening. If you extend your officemates this courtesy, they’ll do the same for you. Some people may find it difficult or uncomfortable to look directly into others’ eyes. Try practicing on friends and family, or focus on a spot on your co-worker’s face that’s very near their eyes. Slouching not only closes off your body, but it’s also associated with laziness and unprofessionalism. Try rolling your shoulders back a few times and opening your chest when you’re sitting and standing. You’ll look more approachable, and your back won’t hurt as much at the end of the workday.]  If you’re unsure of what to do with your hands while speaking to another person, try resting them comfortably on your lap or on the table or desk in front of you. If you’re standing, try clasping them in front of you. Always square your shoulders and face directly toward the person you are communicating with. If you’re waiting for a meeting to start, consider jotting down some notes rather than burying your nose in your phone. This will make it easy for you to immediately engage others in a conversation when they enter the room. Always keep your attention on the people with whom you’re communicating. Do not, under any circumstances, check your electronics while others are speaking. This is the fastest and easiest way to shut down mutual respect, and it will surely affect your future interactions with your co-workers. Smiling will make your colleagues feel more comfortable around you, and psychologists suggest that it makes you happier on a day-to-day basis. While you shouldn’t paste a fake smile on your face every time you walk into the office, you can smile when you greet and thank people, or when they ask you how you’re doing. This will inject positivity and openness into your workplace. Nod and tilt your head when others are speaking so as to provide them with constant visual cues that you’re following...

TL;DR in English: Maintain eye contact. Maintain good posture. Ditch the electronics before and during in-person meetings. Smile to encourage open interaction. Use active body language when listening. Dress for success.

Before you start the meeting, you’ll want to make sure everyone’s settled and as comfortable as possible. To do this, you can simply introduce yourself, but it helps to have an icebreaker activity. This can include anything like having people  introduce themselves and state their experience with the group’s theme and why they’re there, such as having three years experience coding computer games for fun, but feel free to get creative.  Creative icebreakers, for example, can be tossing a beach ball around and having people add a word to a story or answer a question you’ve written on a section of the ball. Don’t pressure shy members to speak. Reassure your group members that they can pass if they don’t feel comfortable sharing. Chances are you already have in mind what the group is about and have discussed this a little with prospective members. However, bring these ideas to the first meeting. Discuss with your members again why you are starting this club. Why do you want to create this club? Write these answers into a basic mission statement. For instance, if your club is about photography, you may wish to connect to others over a love of photography. Write a mission statement saying exactly that. Once you have a basic idea of the club’s purpose, use it to determine what the club should accomplish and what the members will do together. The club members will share a common interest in the subject, but your club will benefit from having something to achieve and activities that allow members to have fun. Talk to your members about what they want to get out of your meetings. For example, for a photography club, you can discuss photographs, improve your knowledge of photography, and go on trips together. Many clubs require nothing more than one’s presence. However, some clubs require extra material. If you want to start a book club, members have to have their own copy of the books you discuss. For other groups, such as ones about social anxiety, you can print out copies of lessons and worksheets and provide the...

TL;DR in English: Break the ice. Define the club’s purpose. Determine the club’s long-term goals. Decide what resources members need. Introduce the leadership. Define group membership. Outline the group’s finances. Make a charter.

Put yourself into a variety of activities and get yourself busy. This way, you have less time to think about what your friend is up to and you'll also be making your life more interesting to others so you can attract more friends in the future. Start playing a musical instrument, start going to church, start doing anything that is good for you and will help you move forward from this point. Work on becoming a more well-rounded person by investing in different activities and experiences. Don't rely on one person to make you feel good about yourself. Be active, socialize and network in your friend's circles so that you might be able to spend more time with them. Do not spy around; instead, respect your friend's space and give a lot of trust to your friendship. Ultimately, this respectful hands-off approach will work out for your own good. If you become friends with more of their other friends, you're bound to spend more time with your friend by default. However, this could be seen as another possessive behavior if you're not careful. Part of the reason you feel so possessive of your friend is probably because you have been limiting yourself to that one friend for a while. If you have other friends that you hang out with and invest in, you won't need so much emotional support from that one friend. Spread your needs out over a group of people. Try meeting new people (at places like school, church, or in your neighborhood) as well as cultivating friendships with people you already know casually. Feelings of possessiveness tend to get worse when we just sit and focus on them. As long as you allow yourself to obsess over this one friend, you will not get over it. Try distracting yourself with anything possible to get your mind off of it. You could even enlist the help of another friend if you trust them enough not to tell other people about it. Try reading a book, watching a movie, going for a walk, calling a friend, talking to your mom, or even creating something artistic.

TL;DR in English:
