Move the rack in the oven so it's in the center. Place 1 pound (450 g) of broccoli florets in a bowl and drizzle 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil over the florets. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) of salt over the florets and use your hands or tongs to toss them until they're evenly coated. Open the the oven door and place the baking sheet in the center of the oven. Close the oven door. Spoon the seasoned broccoli on a rimmed baking sheet. Ensure that the florets are evenly spaced so they cook evenly. Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Wear oven mitts to remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use a flat spatula to stir the broccoli and return the sheet to the oven. Cook the broccoli until it's tender and slightly crispy on the edges. This should take another 10 to 15 minutes. You can insert a fork or knife into a floret to see if it's done. If it's tender, the fork or knife should slide right out. Turn off the oven and transfer the roasted broccoli to a serving dish. Add more salt and pepper according to your taste and serve the broccoli immediately. Store leftover roasted broccoli in an airtight container. Refrigerate it for 3 to 5 days.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 425 °F (218 °C). Season the broccoli with olive oil and salt. Spread the broccoli on a sheet. Roast the broccoli for 10 minutes. Remove and stir the broccoli. Roast the broccoli for 10 to 15 more minutes. Serve the basic roasted broccoli.

One of the most important parts of being a counselor is genuinely caring about people. Work on being empathetic, non-judgemental, and genuine. You can hone these skills by having in-depth conversations with your friends and family members. It also helps to read a lot of books. Reading can help you learn to relate to people and be more open-minded.  Get in the habit of practicing self-care. Being a counselor can be tough at times and you might feel very emotional. Set aside time each day to relax and do something you enjoy. You could try meditation, yoga, or getting together with friends. You might also find it helpful to see a counselor yourself. In addition to earning your degree, you need to complete a certain number of clinical hours. Each state has different requirements, so check to see what your state requires. You can look online, and your graduate program advisor should also be able to help you figure this out. You will typically need to complete anywhere between 1,000-4,000 hours within 2-3 years.  Many of these hours have to be completed under the supervision of a licensed counselor. Make sure to check the requirements in the state where you want to work. Typically, you'll complete most of these hours by doing individual counseling sessions with a client while under the supervision of a licensed therapist. You might also have to do a certain amount of hours in different areas, such as individual and group counseling. Every state requires you to have a license to work as a mental health counselor. Most states use either the National Counseling Exam (NCE) or the National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Exam (NCMHCE). Some states require you to also take a state exam. Look online to find the specific requirements for your state. If you work in private practice, you don’t necessarily have to become board certified. Many other employers, like schools or hospitals, might require it. Look into certification if you want to be able to explore more employment opportunities. Many states require the Certified...

TL;DR in English: Continue developing the skills you learned in school. Finish your experience requirements. Take your licensing exam. Become board-certified to increase opportunities. Search for a job in your area.

If you're considering a career in fashion design, it's never to early to start exploring your interests and gaining experience. You can even begin your fashion design education in high school, taking relevant coursework that can help you get a head start on your college education.  Because designs often start as drawings/sketches, it would be useful to take any art classes your school offers.  Many high schools now offer computer-aided design (CAD) classes. Fashion designers use CAD programs to create fashion designs, so hands-on experience with CAD is essential. Get good grades in high school. Doing well in high school will give you a better chance of being accepted to (and getting a scholarship at) the college of your choice. Most people working in fashion design earn their bachelor's degree in either fashion design or fashion marketing, depending on which aspect of fashion you want to focus on. Both degrees can lead towards a career in fashion design, though the latter will also give you some insight into the business and marketing side of fashion.  Look for programs in fashion design/marketing in your area by searching online. Make sure your school is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). NASAD puts colleges through a rigorous peer-review process to check for standards of education before accreditation is granted.  You can search for accredited programs directly through the NASAD website by searching for the college's name, the program (fashion design), or by city/state. Though internships are not necessarily a requirement for employment, working an internship can help you gain valuable experience in the industry. You'll also get your foot in the door, making contacts who can offer you a recommendation or may even find full-time work for you after graduation.  Internships can give you the freedom to explore different aspects of fashion design while you're still in school. This can help you know what type of work you want to look for after you graduate. Some colleges...

TL;DR in English: Take relevant high school classes. Apply to a college program. Work an internship. Enter contests while you're in school. Graduate with a bachelor's degree.

Although your Boston Terrier is very intelligent, he may become confused if you try to teach him multiple commands at once. If he becomes confused, he may also become discouraged and want to quit training. It is better for him to completely master one command before moving on to the next.  Basic commands include sit, stay, and heel.  Enrolling your Boston Terrier in an obedience class can help you teach these basic commands. Ask your veterinarian or other dog owners for recommendations on good obedience classes. It may take your Boston Terrier only a few tries before he masters a particular command. If that is the case, simply move on to the next command. Since Boston Terriers can become discouraged if they have to do the same thing numerous times, stop teaching a command as soon your Boston Terrier masters it. Daily training will help your Boston Terrier learn and master commands more quickly. However, since dogs have short attention spans, your training sessions should be no more than about 10 minutes. You can have multiple training sessions in a day as long as you keep them short and allow long breaks in between. Consistent and immediate positive reinforcement is essential to training a Boston Terrier. Each time your Boston Terrier correctly responds to a command, reward him with a treat and verbal praise. Give the treat within about 2 to 4 seconds of him following the command so he knows for what he is being rewarded.  Always use verbal praise when giving your Boston Terrier the treat. That way, he will learn to associate praise with treats.  Boston Terriers are motivated by treats.  Choose dog treats that your Boston Terrier can eat quickly and easily (nothing too crunchy). Boston Terriers can be very sensitive to tone of voice. Shouting at your Boston Terrier, or using an angry-sounding tone, can be discouraging to him, causing him to shut down. Keep your tone bright and positive, yet firm. Do not raise your voice at your Boston Terrier, even if you become angry or frustrated. A loud tone of voice may...

TL;DR in English: Teach your Boston Terrier one command at a time. Limit the number of repetitions of each command. Keep training sessions short. Use positive reinforcement. Speak to your Boston Terrier in a positive tone of voice. Train your Boston Terrier indoors during extreme weather. Train your Boston Terrier throughout his life.

Set aside time for unwinding. Spend time relaxing as soon as you get home. Maximize small pockets of time to unwind.

Locomotive skills are one of three essential motor skills; the other two being stability and manipulative skills. If skipping is difficult, then start with some of the more basic locomotive skills and work your way up. Marching with high knees mirrors the movement of skipping closely. Bring one foot up and bend at the knee to create a 90 degree angle. As you step forward, bring the other leg up in a quick motion. Keep your eyes focused forward and swing arms opposite of your feet. If the left foot is up in the air, the right arm should swing forward and vice versa. Stand with feet close together and push off with both feet. Try lifting your feet off the ground at the same time. Practice landing quietly by landing on your toes and letting your ankles and knees bend. See how high you can jump. Add a jump rope and try jumping rhythmically. Extend your knees, ankles and hips as you jump. The main bounce should happen in your ankle. Activate the elasticity in your achilles tendon as you jump up and down. Learning to hop on one leg is a prerequisite skill to hopping. Lift one foot up, bending at the knee, and hold it there. Balance on your standing leg and try to stabilize by tightening the muscles in that leg. Once you have steadied yourself, lift off your heel and push off the ground with the ball of your foot. Try landing an inch or two forward back onto the ball of your foot.  Keep yourself balanced by bringing your arms to your sides in a wide A shape. Switch feet and try balancing on the other foot. Thrust your foot up and bend at the knee. Step forward with the lifted foot and shift your weight into the foot in front of you. Quickly close the gap between your feet by moving your back foot forward, so it rests just behind the front foot. Continue this motion forward with the same foot.  Make sure you switch sides and gallop with your other foot. A gallop is nearly as difficult as skipping. Once you’ve mastered the gallop, you can then move on to skipping.

TL;DR in English: March with high knees. Jump with both feet. Hop one foot at a time. Practice galloping.

Just before you walk over, brush off your clothes, check your teeth, and smooth your hair discreetly. Besides making sure there’s nothing out of place in your appearance, taking this extra moment can help you gather yourself and feel more confident before you approach them. If you still feel too freaked out about approaching your crush, ask a friend to come with you. This works especially well if your friend already knows your crush—they can help start a conversation and ease over any awkward moments.  You don’t have to tell your friend that you have a crush if you don’t want to. Say something like, “Hey, Rachel’s in your math class, right? Can you introduce me? I need help on this new chapter.” It’s also great to bring a friend along if your crush is hanging out with a big group of people. Approaching with some backup can help you feel more confident. When you see your crush, your first reaction is probably excitement—and anxiety! Don’t give yourself time to freak out. Instead, take a deep breath and start walking towards them before you can talk yourself out of it.  Try giving yourself a 3-second deadline to go talk to your crush. Hesitating gives you time to start worrying and second-guessing yourself. Going straight up to them will actually help you feel more confident! and smile. No matter how nervous you feel, walk towards your crush with confidence. Stand up straight, relax, and smile. Being confident as you approach them will put both them and you at ease. Even faking confidence can help you feel stronger and more sure of yourself. When you get to your crush, just smile and say hi! If you’ve never officially met before, tell them your name. Relax and talk normally—remember that this is just another conversation.   Say something like, “Hey, I’m not sure we’ve officially met yet. My name is David.” Introducing yourself is a great way to start if you have something specific to ask of your crush, such as help on a project. If you want to start a more casual conversation, you might want to jump right in...

TL;DR in English: Do a quick check of your hair and clothes before you approach. Bring a friend along for support, especially if they know your crush. Start walking towards your crush as soon as you see them. Be confident Introduce yourself and say a casual hello.

Be aware that obesity, arthritis, and sore teeth can cause dandruff. Keeping the skin and fur conditioned requires the cat to groom regularly and spread the conditioning oils over the coat. If the cat is overweight or has mobility issues, such as those associated with arthritis, it physically won't be able to reach all parts of its body, which means those places are liable to have flaky skin.  If this is the case then you should groom the cat daily until the cat is able to do it itself. If your cat is not grooming itself because it can't reach areas due to its weight, consider putting it on a diet. A leaner cat should be able to more effectively clean itself. A sore mouth can also stop the cat from grooming, and can also impact on its ability to eat. In these circumstances veterinary attention is essential, to extract loose teeth, clean away tartar, and give antibiotics against gum infection. It may not seem like a risk that's worth worrying about, but cats can have their skin damaged by the weather. This is especially true for cats with thin coats or no coats at all. Hot, dry conditions can lead to dried-out skin and even sunburn, so let your cat stay indoors when it's scorching out. Drier winter months can also be a source of flaky skin, even if there's less of a risk of sunburn. An occasional brushing can remove dead skin flakes, reducing dandruff. Use a gentle cat brush and stroke in the direction of the hair. Don't use too much pressure. You want to stroke and not scrub. Regular brushing is a great way to reduce dandruff. It improves the blood circulation to the skin, which carries oxygen and nutrients to the skin and helps condition it.  However, expect the dandruff to initially get worse in the first 3 - 4 weeks. You will loosen up sloughed skin cells that are then shed into the coat. Always brush gently and stop right away if you notice irritated skin or signs of pain. Cats aren't like people in terms of bathing needs. They're quite good at keeping themselves clean, so they only need to be bathed very...

TL;DR in English: Address physical conditions that are making the dandruff worse. Keep your cat out of hot, dry weather. Give the cat a gentle brushing. Avoid bathing your cat too often. Use a gentle ointment.

” If you are nervous about telling your partner your feelings, take some deep breaths and talk yourself up. Say to yourself, “I can do this,” or something similar. Remind yourself of all the reasons why you love your partner to distract you from your fear of rejection.  With a little reassurance, you can confess your love with confidence and assurance. You can also tell yourself “If it is meant to be, it will be.” The moment you confess your love is a powerful, transformative point in your relationship, as you commit to each other officially. Because of this, you want to clearly see their facial expression and reaction when you confess your feelings. If you can, it is best to tell your partner in person. If that is not possible, try a video call. Avoid saying “I love you” via text or phone call. You will not be able to read your partner’s expressions if you tell them through an indirect form of communication. Avoid proclaiming your love in front of a lot of people. This may put outside pressure on your partner, which may complicate their feelings. Find a romantic, intimate time to tell your partner how you feel, such as a nice dinner or while spending time at home.  For example, you can cuddle with your partner on the couch and look them in the eyes before you say your feelings. While wine can be romantic and set the mood, avoid telling your partner your feelings while intoxicated. You may not say exactly what you mean. Make sure you and your partner are not busy or distracted when you tell them your feelings. They may be stressed about work or school, and this may impact their mood. If you tell your partner your feelings in public, keep your volume low. You can whisper “I love you” into their ear as an intimate expression of love. The perfect opportunity to confess your feelings will depend on your particular situation. When you feel the right moment has come, be direct and speak clearly. Tell your partner "I love you," with a genuine, warm tone. You can do this while eating dinner, having a picnic, or...

TL;DR in English: Give yourself a pep talk before you say “I love you. Be face-to-face with your partner to tell them your feelings. Pick a private place to make the moment intimate and special. Say "I love you" when the moment feels right. Prepare yourself emotionally to not hear it in return.

Schedule your leisure time so that it doesn't get taken over with other responsibilities. Avoid over-committing yourself to social engagements, volunteering, and other things you may not realistically have time for after work. Have some time just for yourself to unwind.  If you have things to complete after work (like grocery shopping, picking up kids, or attending events), prioritize your tasks and if possible, delegate responsibilities. Try to get any important tasks done quickly after you get home from work. Set a rule for yourself not to do any sort of work after a certain time in the evening. Setting aside a regular time to relax before bed will improve your quality of sleep and help you be more productive during the day. Don’t put off your time to yourself. If you set aside the first ten minutes after you get home to do something relaxing, you won’t have to squeeze something in later or go a day without having some time to unwind. Even if you have kids or a family, let them know that the first ten minutes after you get home are for you to relax. They can come to you with their questions, needs, and requests once you’re finished. Prioritizing time to unwind can help you feel calm as you enter back into your life without too much stress. This is especially helpful if your family tends to bombard you with things as soon as you step through the door. Maybe you notice your nerves or anger acting up after you get home from work. You might not have time for a massage or a 60-minute yoga class, but you likely have time for a ten-minute walk around the block or a five-minute dance session. Taking advantage of small pockets of time can help you feel relaxed and give you a quick reset to feeling better. Touch can be quick and calming and can put you in a relaxed state. Get home and give your partner and children a big hug. If you have a pet, spend some time petting them, even if it’s just around television time.

Flip your shirt inside out so that you can see the stain. Take the hem of the shirt and rub it over the stain. Alternate between using a circular motion and an up-and-down motion. Be sure to use the inside of your shirt to rub the stain, in case the stain transfers. Make sure that the stain is dry first, then rub it with a dryer sheet. If you cannot find a dryer sheet, try using a pair of nylons instead. Rub the stain using a circular and an up-and-down motion. You can also use a sock to buff the stain away. Turn a sock inside out, and buff the stain with it until it disappears. Run some hot water over a cloth (such as a towel or clean rag), and add a few drops of soap. Massage the cloth to get the soap into the fibers, then rub it over the stain. After a few minutes, the stain should be gone. If there is soap on your shirt, dip the cloth into clean water, and rub the area until the soap disappears. If you do not have access to water, try using a baby wipe or a makeup remover wipe. Purchase a magic eraser sponge from the cleaning section of a grocery or department store. Dampen the sponge and squeeze out any excess water. Rub the stain using an up-and-down motion. Fill your sink with water, and add in the amount of stain remover specified on the label. Put your shirt into the sink and let it soak. For light stains, leave the shirt in the water for an hour; for heavier stains, leave the shirt overnight. Once the shirt is done soaking, wash it in the laundry machine as usual. You can also try using a stain remover pen or spray. Both can be purchased in the laundry department of a grocery store. Mix some baking soda with just enough water to make a paste. Massage the paste into the stain and leave it there for one hour. Wash the paste off using cold water, then wash your shirt in the laundry machine. Mix one part white vinegar with one part water. Soak the stain with this solution, and rub it between your fingers. If the stain is heavy, soak the shirt in the solution for a few hours. Once you are done, wash the...

TL;DR in English: Rub the stain with another part of the shirt. Rub the stain with a dryer sheet or a pair of nylons. Scrub the stain away with a damp, soapy cloth.

from your lash line up to your crease. Dip your brush into a neutral, nude, or light eyeshadow, then brush it across your lid, working from your lashline to the crease. The eyeshadow will prime your lid and allow for a smoother application of eyeliner. It will also give the eyeliner something to cling to, so it will stay put and won't smudge or rub off.  Because cat eyes are so dramatic, darker eyeshadow colors can look overdone. Instead, consider using a color that matches your skin tone or is slightly lighter. Don't use a cream eyeshadow. The eyeliner won't stick to it, and both the liner and eyeshadow could easily wipe off. Hold a slim makeup brush against the side of your nose and angle it until it points to the end of your eyebrow—this is the line you want your wing to follow. You want your wings to be as identical as possible—different lengths, widths, and angles will look off. If your eyelids are hooded, make the angle less upward and more horizontally straight. This will extend your lash line and open up your eyes.

TL;DR in English: Apply neutral or light eyeshadow Angle a brush from your nose to your outer brow to find your end point.

Nerds get the reputation for being in the clouds half the time because their minds are wandering, probing distant places or complex correlations and equations. For this reason, don't be afraid to be aloof, if that's who you are. Lose yourself in the intellectual areas that make you happy and help you feel connected to the world, even if it means you seem disconnected by the "depth" and "displacement" involved in your internalizing a singular passion.   Your passion could be anything, from cryptology to philosophy to Norse mythology to brewing. It could be anything from morphology to cardiology to numismatics or philately. Whatever it is, make it a blast! Set short- and long-term goals for yourself. The sooner you set yourself some goals (perhaps in an outline of variable and constant parameters, a rubric, or a protocol), the easier it will be to achieve them. Setting absorbing goals has the benefit of being especially nerdy! Think differently. Don't be afraid to tackle an idea or activity that isn't popular. (Realize that you may not have a great grasp of what is popular and what isn't in the first place. No matter!)   If you found that lining your car antenna with aluminum foil gives you better reception on the AM stations in your car, then go for it. A nerd does not care how their car looks if the radio station is playing properly. If you propose to test all your friends for an antibody not yet known to science, then go for it (with your friends' consent). A nerd does not care whether the world doubts their methods and challenges their findings. If you are interested in computer viruses and want to tell all your friends what a trojan is, then go for it! A lot of nerds like to learn about things that seem pointless to others. A nerd is on a constant quest for knowledge. A nerd doesn't always care whether the information they receive has any utility. The mere fact that it's simple, profound, or counter-intuitive is enough to make it cool. Read everything in your area(s) of interests that you can get your...

TL;DR in English: Lose yourself in your passion. Don't be afraid to go beyond the ordinary. Always keep learning. Read voraciously. Pay attention in school. Channel any difficult feelings you may have into your passions. Be a healthy nerd, not a careless one. Choose to focus on the positive.

Wash your raw potatoes well in cold water. Cook the potatoes, either by baking or boiling.  If boiling, place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cook potatoes until tender. This should take about 20 minutes. If baking, pierce the skin of the potato with a fork 3-4 times. Wrap the potatoes in aluminum foil or place directly on the middle shelf of an oven, preheated to 350 °F (177 °C). The potato will bake in about an hour. If you already have leftover, cooked potatoes from a previous meal, you can go ahead and use those to make hash browns. Allow the cooked potatoes to cool. Leave overnight in the refrigerator, if possible. Once the potatoes have cooled, you can peel them using a small knife or vegetable peeler. Shred the potatoes using a cheese grater. They will shred very easily as they are soft when cooked. At this point, you can either cook them, or freeze them. To freeze them, lay them flat on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet into the freezer for a couple of hours or until the potatoes are frozen, then transfer them into freezer bags to use at your convenience. Heat a large skillet pan (preferably cast iron) over a medium-high heat. Add the butter to the pan and allow to melt. Once the butter has melted, add the cooked, shredded potatoes to the pan and toss to coat with butter. Season with salt and pepper. Once the potato has been coated with butter, flatten it using a spatula to maximize contact with the hot pan. It should be no more than 1/2 an inch thick. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, flip, then cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side. The hash brown potatoes are ready when each side is crisp and golden brown. If you are using the frozen potatoes that you prepared earlier, you can cook them in the exact same way. They will just take a few extra minutes. Slide the hash brown from the pan, or lift using a large spatula. Cut it into halves or quarters, if necessary. Serve on their own, or alongside breakfast or dinner.

TL;DR in English:


Place the quiche in the freezer. Let it bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it has completely warmed through. It is recommended that you do not thaw the quiche before warming it. Thawing it first can make the crust get moist and soggy.

Tray freeze the baked quiche. Wrap the quiche in two protective layers. Freeze until ready to use. Bake from frozen until heated through.

Cut off around 50 feet of string and wind it around a 6 inch piece of light wood or sturdy cardboard. This will be your handle.  Lightweight nylon cord works best and is more durable than string or fishing line.   A stick from outside or even a popsicle stick will work just as well for your handle. It is really up to you and what you feel comfortable holding. It helps to have a friend throw the kite up in the air in addition to having a breeze.  Only let out about 3-4 feet of string until your kite is up in the air. You may need to run to get the kite going.

Make a to-do list (or several) for the day, week, or any other amount of time you will be stuck at home to help you manage any tasks you’d like to get done during that time.  Try prioritizing your to-do lists by listing items in order of importance or breaking them into specified categories (e.g. Today, Tomorrow, Weekend, or Urgent, Soon, If Time Allows). Make completing tasks more fun and satisfying by using colored pens, stickers, or other decoration, and make sure to cross off each item as you finish it! Get to chores you’ve been neglecting, like vacuuming, dusting, or washing dishes. Make it fun by putting on music or singing while you work.  Active chores that get you up and moving, like laundry, vacuuming, mopping, or washing windows, have an added bonus of giving you a good physical workout, too.  If you do any work from home, focus first on decluttering and reorganizing your desk or office space to help you think clearer and be more focused while you work there. Try rearranging and reorganizing areas that typically get messy, like closets or kitchen cabinets, so that it is easier to keep them consistently tidy. Try to fix broken household items, mend clothing, or make other simple repairs that you’ve been putting off.  If you don’t know how to fix something, look up instructions online. It could be easier to fix than you think. Use a simple needle and thread to sew on buttons or patches, stitch rips, or make any other adjustments to damaged clothing items so that you can wear them again. Rake leaves, mow the lawn, trim branches, or plant something in your yard to help keep it looking good and tidy while being active at the same time.  If you don’t have a yard, simply spruce up a patio or balcony with some plants, a spare chair, or a string of lights. If you can’t be outside, try planting a few plants inside to grow on a windowsill. All you need is a pot with potting soil, seeds, and water. If you have someone’s birthday, graduation, wedding, or other event coming up, use your time at home to plan out...

TL;DR in English: Plan ahead for your time at home. Clean or tidy up. Mend or fix broken items. Do some yard work if you can go outside. Plan an upcoming event.

Place all of the spices in a small bowl and stir until combined. On a clean surface, sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the pork and massage into the meat with your fingers. Use a double layer of plastic wrap to firmly cover the meat. Leave it to sit in the refrigerator for as little as three hours, or as long as three days. The longer you leave the meat, the more flavor it will develop. Pour 1/4 cup of water over the meat, then add the liquid smoke, if using. Set the crockpot to a low heat and cook the pork for 8-10 hours, until the meat is tender enough to shred with a fork. Place the roast of pork on a cutting board. Then, using two forks, shred the meat, discarding any fat, bones or skin. Return the shredded meat to the crockpot and stir in a cup of barbecue sauce. Continue to cook on low for 30-60 minutes, until hot. Serve the pulled pork with hamburger buns or rolls, additional barbecue sauce and some homemade coleslaw.

TL;DR in English: Make the spice rub. Rub the mixed spices into the meat. Unwrap the pork and place it in the crockpot. Remove the pork and drain any liquid from the crockpot. Continue cooking. Serve.

Bake the quiche as directed, but place it on a baking sheet before doing so. When you finish baking it, transfer the tray to the freezer, and let the quiche freeze until the soft center is frozen as hard as ice. Even though the quiche is technically solid after it bakes, the filling is still quite soft. Letting it tray freeze before going into long-term freezer storage can prevent the soft filling from getting damaged in the freezer. Use a layer of plastic wrap and a layer of aluminum foil to wrap up the pre-frozen quiche, making sure that all the edges are thoroughly sealed to prevent excess exposure to the air.  If necessary, you can also place the quiche in a large plastic freezer bag for an even more airtight seal. Label the quiche with the current date and the contents of the dish. This will allow you to keep track of how long the quiche has been in the freezer. Keep the quiche in its pie dish and place it in the freezer, keeping it at a temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius) until you are ready to serve it. Baked quiche can be frozen for two to three months, if necessary, without the quality being negatively affected. Do not thaw the quiche before you warm it up. Pull it out of the freezer and transfer it to an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Let it bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it has completely warmed through. It is recommended that you do not thaw the quiche before warming it. Thawing it first can make the crust get moist and soggy.

Don't post a picture of yourself from 10 years ago.

List your priorities. Utilize your network. Use technology. Be outgoing. Be ready to meet someone.

When you’ve collected the pods, group them into bunches of five to 10. Tie the bunches together by wrapping string or elastic around the stems. Hang the bunches from a clothesline or door handle in a cool, dry place. Use hooks, string, or clothespins to fasten the bunches to the clothesline or handle.  Leave the pods to dry for several days to a week, until the pods start splitting open.  A good place to dry the pods is a garage or dry basement. Leave the seeds on the towel to dry for another few days in the same cool, dry place where you dried the pods. You want to make sure that all the moisture has evaporated, otherwise the seeds will spoil during storage.

TL;DR in English: Hang the pods to dry. Dry the seeds for another day or two if necessary.

When you're beginning to establish your film production company, consider initially producing short films. Short films are brief films, usually 10 to 15 minutes in length, that are cheaper and quicker to produce. Many big film festivals, such as Sundance and South by Southwest, have a short film category. If your film does well at a festival, you can potentially get noticed by an agent. Your production company may be able to get funding or theater distribution for bigger projects. The internet provides exciting new opportunities for young filmmakers. You can upload your content for free on YouTube and, if you generate a following, you may get your content picked up for television.  Make sure to include your production company name at the end of all your videos. This way, you'll help people remember your company. Copyright content before posting it online. This will prevent your content from begin stolen. One of the best ways for production companies to get noticed early on is to apply for festivals. Big film festivals include things like South by Southwest, Tribeca Film Festival, and Sundance. You can also try for smaller festivals in your area, which may be less competitive.  Applications vary by festival. Usually, you just send in a copy of your film along with a possible submission fee. Prepare yourself emotionally for rejection. The film world is very competitive and you'll likely get far more rejections than acceptances.

TL;DR in English: Consider producing shorts. Use the internet to your advantage. Apply to festivals.

One of the most important parts of getting a boyfriend is to meet someone that you'd like to date. Before you head out looking for guys, take a few minutes to think about what you want. List the priorities that you're looking for in a potential boyfriend.  Maybe common interests is your top priority. For instance, do you love to ride your bike? Make it a priority to find someone who also enjoys that activity. You can also list important personality traits: honesty, compassion, and a great sense of humor are all good examples. Your friends and family can be a great resource in your hunt for someone to date. In fact, most people report that they met their partners through friends and family. Let your network of friends know that you are open to meeting new people.  You can say, "Hey, Stacy. I'm interested in meeting someone. Do you know any eligible guys that I might be interested in?" You might try, "Ellen, that guy that sits next to you in English seems nice. Can you mention my name to him and see if he sounds interested?" Accept invitations to gatherings. You never know who will be at Aunt Maureen's BBQ! If you are working on building a positive body image, it might feel more comfortable to meet people through your circle. After all, it's unlikely that your best friend would set you up with a jerk who makes negative comments about your appearance. These days, a large percentage of relationships begin online. Forget about the old stigmas! Use technology to your advantage and put yourself out there to meet the man of your dreams. Or even just someone fun to hang out with!  Online dating might be a great way to go if you are feeling insecure about your appearance. You will usually have to post a picture. This is helpful, because anyone who approaches you already knows (and accepts) what you look like. Always be honest in your profile. For example, don't post a picture of yourself from 10 years ago. Use caution when meeting someone online. Don't give out personal information, such as your home address or where...

TL;DR in English:


Fish in the spring. Catch walleye in the summer. Try fishing in the fall.

When gripping the racket, your hand should imitate the act of shaking someone’s hand. The head of the racket should be perpendicular to the floor when you hold the racket straight out in front of you. Hold the shuttle from your body at a comfortable distance. Your arm should be relaxed, i.e., not locked or stiff.  At this point, your racket should be cocked back in order to generate momentum to hit the shuttle, as opposed to underneath the shuttle. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart. Your dominant foot should be back. Also stand near the center line. With an underhand stroke, hit the bottom of the shuttle below your waist. Your arm should cross your body and end near your opposite shoulder on the follow-through.  Remember to aim the shuttle toward the court that is diagonal from you. For short serves, the trajectory should be flat. This will force your opponent to return high. For long serves, the shuttle should travel high towards the back line. This will force your opponent to move back to return the shot.

TL;DR in English: Grip the racket in a handshake grip. Cup the shuttle with your off-hand. Hit the shuttle.

Go karts can be many different sizes, shapes, and designs. These homemade vehicles are amenable to any design elements you want to throw into it. The basic essentials are a chassis, a simple engine, and a steering/braking system.  Get creative in your planning for the project and produce detailed diagrams to make sure you get enough materials to complete the job. Look at other go-karts for inspiration and learn from kart-makers who've been there before. Alternatively, you can find schematics and plans online for many different types of models, if you'd rather let someone else do the planning. Use a template and modify it as you see fit. For specific chassis sizing, go to the CIK FIA website: http://www.cikfia.com/fileadmin/content/REGULATIONS/Technical/Technical%20Drawings/2017/Drawing_1.pdf The size of the go-kart should depend on the age and size of the driver. Make sure you plan the go-kart accurately and using specific measurements, in order to fit the correct materials into the kart. There are three sizes of karts, measured from the center of the King Pin to the middle of the rear axle:   Baby kart: Ages 5-8, Frame size: 700 to 900 mm  Cadet kart: Ages 8-12, Frame size: 900 mm to 1010 mm  Full size kart: Ages 12 and up, Frame size 1040 mm If you're short on cash, visit a scrap yard and see if you can pick up any low-cost parts. Or, you may be able to salvage parts from an old riding lawnmower or a junk go kart found at a yard sale.  Ask lawn mower repair services for spare parts or junked out riding lawnmowers and used 4 cycle engines in the 10 to 15 horsepower range, with horizontal shaft and a drive clutch assembly. Here's what you'll need:  For the chassis:  30 feet (9.2 m) of 1-inch (2.5 cm) square tubing 6 feet (1.8 m) of 0.75-inch (2 cm) round steel barstock 6 feet (1.8 m) of 0.5-inch (1.5 cm) bar stock 3/16-inch (0.5 cm) thick steel plate in a width and length slightly larger than your engine Plywood or metal (for seat and floorboards) Seat   For engine:  Engine (try an old lawnmower engine) Chain...

TL;DR in English: Draw up detailed plans for the go-kart you want to make. Size the go-kart appropriately. Gather your materials. Obtain a welder. Consider buying a go-kart kit.

Caffeine can help to boost your performance during a race, so some athletes opt for caffeinated gels. However, if you don’t want to use caffeinated gels, there are plenty of gels that are caffeine-free. Check the label for information on the caffeine content of any gel before you buy it.  The amount of caffeine in a pouch of gel can vary widely, such as from 30 mg to 100 mg or more per serving. Keep in mind that your caffeine intake should not exceed 1.36-2.27 mg of caffeine per 1 lb (0.45 kg) of body weight within an hour of vigorous exercise. For example, if you weigh 150 lb (68 kg), then do not consume a gel that contains more than 204 and 340 mg of caffeine. A thick gel may be easier to get into your mouth without dripping it on yourself while you are exercising, so some people prefer thick gels. However, these gels may also require slightly more chewing. If you opt for a thick gel, drink a few more sips of water to help the gel go down. Watery gels are easier to swallow since they are more like a liquid than a gel. However, these can be messier to eat while you are exercising since they are more likely to drip. If you opt for a watery gel, you will still need to take a few sips of water after taking the gel. Studies have shown that these types of gels may provide better glucose absorption than other types of gels. Read the ingredients on the packaging of any type of gel you consider buying to see if it contains maltodextrin and fructose. Other common sweeteners include brown rice syrup and malted barley. You can try these out as well to see if you notice a difference in your energy level after eating the gel. Energy gels come in a wide range of flavors, so you can choose the types that appeal to you. Opt for simple flavors like vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry, or go with something more complex, such as birthday cake or cappuccino flavor.

TL;DR in English: Decide if you want caffeinated or caffeine-free gels. Opt for a thick gel for a less messy option. Try a watery gel for something that’s easier to swallow. Look for products with maltodextrin and fructose carbohydrate blends. Try different flavors to see what you like best.

Walleye fish are found in different areas depending on the season and type of location. Walleye change their habits based on their spawning schedules. In spring, you can find walleye along sandy shallow areas 3-10 feet from the shore of lakes and rivers. Fish at a depth of about 3-8 feet, depending on the depth of the body of water. You can also find them in the river current. Look for sand near rocky embankments, tree stumps, or other objects in the water. Walleye spawn near these areas, especially in early spring.  You are most likely going to catch smaller males near the spawning beds during this time of year. Females go farther down to hide from the sun and other fish. If you want to catch larger females, you need to fish a little deeper, 10-15 feet into the water. Walleye are school fish, so they travel in groups. Once you catch one walleye, you are likely to catch another. Once the weather and water start to warm up, walleye go deeper into the water or hide in thick weeds. You can also look for islands with gravel patches, rocky drop offs, or areas near the mouth of a river. During the summer, especially when it gets really hot, the walleye will most likely be found 15-35 feet deep. They only come to the shoreline at night to feed. Some of the smaller walleye will be in shallower areas, usually the smaller males. Fishing for walleye in the fall can be frustrating, but it can be done. Due to the decrease in temperature and the dying vegetation in the water, walleye move away from the shoreline and go deeper into the water. Look upstream around deep pools or back moving currents if you are fishing for walleye in rivers. In lakes, walleye go into the middle areas far away from shore and stay around 10-25 feet deep.  If you are fishing in lakes, you may need a depth finder to help you locate where the walleye are congregating. Nights during the fall bring large female walleye out of the water. Between 10:00 pm and 3:00 am, walleye can be found along rocky shoals around 2-3 feet deep.  Although you can fish...

TL;DR in English:


Identify where you want to work. Consider your skills and your interests. Reflect upon your expectations, including whether you want to be part of a mission and what type of company you want to work for. Are there any family considerations?

If you're using canned chickpeas, open the cans, drain the chickpeas and then rinse them well. Rinsing the chickpeas will wash away the flavor of the canning water, freshening up and improving the taste of your final dish. The easiest way to rinse them is to pour them into a colander and run them under cold water until they stop foaming. If you're  cooking your own chickpeas from scratch, you'll need soak the chickpeas overnight to get them soft enough to cook. After soaking, drain the water, add fresh water and cook the chickpeas at a simmer until they're fork tender. Drain the water and rinse the chickpeas - now they're ready to use. Use paper towels to dry the chickpeas thoroughly to get them ready to cook. This will ensure the chickpeas get nice and crunchy when you roast them, rather than staying soft. Put the coconut or olive oil in a frying pan and place it over medium heat. Heat it thoroughly. Pour the chickpeas into the frying pan with the oil. Use a wooden spoon to stir them until they're all coated in oil. Mix the turmeric, cumin, and paprika in a bowl until they're thoroughly combined, then pour the spice mixture over the chickpeas. Toss the chickpeas until they're coated in spices. Turn it down to medium low and let the chickpeas cook slowly on one side. After 5 minutes, stir the chickpeas so they can keep cooking. Continue stirring the chickpeas every 5 minutes until they're completely brown and crispy. It should take 15 to 20 minutes. Pour the chickpeas into a bowl and season them with salt and pepper to taste. Serve this quick, tasty treat to your friends or add it to a salad.

TL;DR in English: Rinse the chickpeas. Dry the chickpeas. Heat the oil. Add the chickpeas. Incorporate the spices. Reduce the heat and brown the chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper.

Use bronzer or apply a gold, shimmery foundation to the skin. Try using shades of copper and brown blushes to highlight the cheekbones.  Use a foundation brush to start applying foundation to the center of the face and blend outward.  Apply brown, deep red, nude or gold tinted lipstick. Using jet black liquid eyeliner or eyeliner pencil start in the corner of the upper eyelids (near the bridge of the nose) and apply eyeliner right along the edge of each eyelid.  Extend the eyeliner past the outer corner of your eye lid by about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm).  Apply eyeliner to the bottom eyelid. Start at the bottom corner, directly above the eyelashes, and draw to the outer corner of the eye. Use a small makeup brush and apply a liberal amount of eye shadow on the entire upper eyelid, brushing from the inner corner of the eyelid to the outer corner. Extend the eyeshadow to cover the top of the wingtip you’ve created.  Add a smaller amount of eyeshadow directly underneath the bottom eyelashes and extend to cover the bottom of the wingtip you’ve created. Add a lighter shade of eyeshadow right underneath the brow line for a more dramatic effect. Use shimmery blue, emerald green or gold eyeshadow to dab the upper and lower eyelids. Liberally apply mascara to the upper and lower eyelashes to lengthen them and darken the eyes. Use the brush to pull and extend the eyelashes Start from the inner corner of the eyebrow and fill in the eyebrows with black or dark brown eyebrow pencil all the way to the outer corner. Try to ensure that the eyebrows appear smooth and even all the way across.

TL;DR in English: Bronze up your face and neck. Contour the eye using eyeliner. Fill in the eyelids with eyeshadow. Apply jet black, ultra-lash mascara. Darken the eyebrows with eyebrow pencil.

If you drop or spill an item on your clothes, dab ice water or seltzer immediately so that the stain does not set. Make sure that you dab rather than rub. Before washing spray the area with a stain pre-treatment.   Don't clean stains with hot water, as this will set the stain. Try to get to the stain before it dries, while it is still wet. Don't put stained clothes into the dryer as this will make the stain permanent. Redo the stain treatment, then wash the garment again. Be aware that it may not be possible to remove all stains entirely. In this case, fade the stain as much as possible. Hot sauces, grease, and food can splash and cause damage to clothes.  Don't start making your favorite marinara or standing in front of your deep-fryer without an apron on.   This also goes for arts and crafts. Many paints can stain clothing, so it would be a good idea to wear old jeans and shirts that you no longer care about. If you don't have any aprons or junk clothing to spare while cooking or cleaning, stick with darker clothes. They don't show dirt or stains as easily as light-colored garments. Rather than pulling on them and ruining more stitches, you should snip loose strings and thread as soon as possible. If the seam has already lost too many stitches, consider learning how to stitch or sew, so you can fix the small problem before it becomes a bigger one.   When repairing loose stitching, it is often easier to do it by hand. Always match the thread color to the stitching. While it may be tempting to pull on loose threads, this can actually make the problem worse. Always snip the thread off. Proper washing and drying methods will prevent pills in the first place, but if you already have pilled clothes you can try to fix them yourself, rather than throwing the garment out. You can use a store-bought pilling shaver, but you can also easily remove the bobbles with a pumice stone, a shaving razor, or even a Velcro hair roller.

TL;DR in English: Address stains and spills immediately! Wear aprons or old "junk" clothes while cleaning and cooking. Snip loose strings and threads. Take care of pills.

Unless your journal is a blog that's open to the entire internet-browsing public, you should probably assume that no one will read it but you. If you choose to share it later, it'll be up to you to do so, but a journal is perfectly useful even if it's never shared. Try to consider your journal as a "safe haven" for your innermost thoughts. It's a place where you won't have to worry about being judged or embarrassed about the way you feel, so have no shame while you write. Most people have internal thoughts that they "filter" whenever they interact with other people. If you meet an ugly person on the street, for instance, you would never blurt out that you find them ugly - instead, you choose which thoughts to let out and which thoughts to keep in. The trick to good journal writing is to "turn down" or even "turn off" this filter. This can be tricky - often, its' something people don't have a lot of experience doing. If you're having trouble turning off your filter, try writing "free form" as an exercise - scrawling your thoughts down in a stream-of-consciousness form the moment they come to you, whether they make sense or not. While you'll want each journal entry to stand up on its own merits, you may find that your entries can be made better by explicitly referencing past entries. By searching for explanations of why you wrote the way you did previously, you can come to a greater understanding of your own emotions. For instance, were you in a miserable mood when you wrote yesterday, but are now feeling better? Comment on this! By doing so, you may start to understand why you felt this way in the first place. Not every day will be eventful. Writing won't always come easy. Instead of giving up for the day, try, instead, to answer any one of the hundreds (if not thousands) of journal prompts available online. Writing educators occasionally use journal-writing as an academic exercise - when they do, they sometimes share the writing prompts for the exercise online. A simple search engine query like "journal...

TL;DR in English: Think of your journal as a safe place to express yourself. Write what you think as soon as you think it. Comment on past journal entries. Use writing prompts when you're bereft of ideas. Learn from the greats!

For some job seekers any job will do, however for the vast majority there are a number of considerations that need to be weighed before deciding where they want to work. By taking the time to think about yourself and what you want to do for a career, you will be starting your job search on the right foot. When considering your skills, think about what are you good at in a professional setting. Moreover, think about which industry these skills are best applicable to. It is also worthwhile to think about what you are interested in doing. If you are interested in your career, you are more likely to be fulfilled through it.  If you are good with people for instance, something in the customer service industry may fit you. If you enjoy fixing cars for instance, why not think about being a mechanic. Some individuals are looking for a job with a strong mission, such as helping others. Others are interested in a high starting salary. What type of mission appeals to you? In addition, you need think about what kind of company you would like to work for. Do you want to work for a large business or a small business? What about setting - urban or rural? Answering these questions can help you have a better idea of where you may want to apply. How much of a factor is your family in your decision? Do you want to live close to your family? If you have a spouse, how will your job search affect his or hers? You may want to coordinate with your family and loved ones while making these decisions.

Be aware that having a balanced, healthy diet does not guarantee higher fertility. Keep in mind fertility diets may only work for a small subsection of women. Talk to your doctor about your fertility treatment options.

Depending on the size of the room, this might be hard or easier to do.  It will be easier to introduce dead space into a larger room than it will be to do so into a smaller room.  Fewer things mean more space.  Add mirrors.  Mirrors can create the illusion of space and make the room feel larger than it is.  A horizontally-oriented mirror over the bed is a good option. Look carefully at the layout of your motel room to decide what is crucial and what is not. Don’t introduce lots of chairs, tables, floor lamps, potted plants, or other things that take up space. Keep counters and dresser tops clean of excess objects like placards or small statues. Remove things that are hard to clean or could be easily broken.  For instance, do not include breakable glass statues or candles that could spill wax on the carpet.  Use furniture with rounded corners -- a rounded corner is more difficult to dent than a sharp corner.  Remove objects that attract visible dust like study lamps and instead use wall-mounted lighting. Diagonal views of a room help make the space seem larger.  Instead of placing the door in the center of one wall of the room, for instance, place it in the corner of a wall.  Try to expand the visible angle of the room from the doorway.  For instance, if the bathroom is right next to the entrance to the room, cut the corner that is closest to the center of the room from the bathroom’s layout (turning it into a five-sided bathroom). This is important because people often ask to see a room before they choose to rent one.  First impressions are important, and giving the room a spacious feel can encourage potential customers to stay. Bright lime, orange, and yellow will give the room a fresh, vibrant energy.  Warm colors will inspire enthusiasm and optimism in the guest.  Cooler -- but still vibrant -- colors like blue and green can also energize guests and impart a sense of safety and comfort.  Use one dominant color and white highlights to maintain a clean, minimalistic design. Despite the temptation to simplify...

TL;DR in English: Make the room feel spacious. Minimize maintenance. Encourage diagonal views. Choose vibrant colors. Use vinyl floors. Put soundproofing materials in the walls and beneath the floor.

Exercise will not only support weight loss, but can help you get into a good mindset for the day or week when you're getting back to your normal routine.  Try to include some sort of physical activity about three to four days each week.    Aim for 150 minutes or 2 1/2 hours of moderate-intensity physical activity each week.  Incorporating regular aerobic exercise into your daily routine will support your weight loss.  Aerobic activities can include exercises like:  walking, jogging, swimming, biking, or hiking. It's recommended to include two days of strength training each week.  Strength training includes activities like:  weight lifting, Pilates, or isometric exercises like push-ups or crunches. Getting started with an exercise plan can be hard — especially if you're doing it alone.  Working out with a friend or partner can be a great motivator to keep you on track and showing up for your weekly sweat sessions. Experts recommend trying to get between seven and nine hours of sleep each night.  Adequate sleep helps with mood balance and appetite control — both of which are important if you're aiming to get back on track with healthy eating. To help get your body ready for sleep, turn off all lights and electronics.  Also try to avoid using electronics at least 30 minutes prior to your planned sleep time. No matter how long you've overindulged, having a support group or people by your side can make getting back on track be a little easier.  Whether it's your spouse, family, friends or co-workers, a support group can be your cheerleaders that will motivate and encourage you through this process. If you'd like, you can sign up for diet programs like Weight Watchers and go to their weekly support group meetings. Sometimes after a few days of overeating you can begin to feel a bit negative or down.  Repeating positive affirmations daily can help boost your mood and spirits and put you in a better mindset to get back on track. Come up with your own sayings or use a few of these daily:  "My body feels great when I...

TL;DR in English: Exercise. Get eight hours of sleep. Find or build a support group. Repeat positive affirmations daily.

Look near the channel fader for a small button labeled “Mute.” When you click the button, the audio from all the other channels will continue going through the mixer while the selected channel will be quiet. When you want the audio to go through your mixer again, press the “Mute” button to start the audio.  Pressing the audio won’t make the original input source stop working, but you won’t be able to hear it through the speakers or headphones attached to the mixer. You can mute multiple tracks at the same time if you want to. Look next to the “Mute” button for another that’s labeled “Solo.” When you press the solo button, every other channel will mute so you can only hear the channel you selected. When you want to start the other inputs, press the “Solo” button a second time to turn it off.  Soloing a channel on a mixer allows you to easily make adjustments to specific instruments or vocals without lowering the faders on the other channels. You can solo multiple channels at the same time. Auxiliary channels work well when you need to send copies of audio to specific monitors or put effects on them. Plug the monitor or effects rig into one of the ports on your mixer labeled “AUX” to start using the labeled auxiliary port. Turn the knob labeled “AUX” on the channel you want to send to adjust the volume level of the input.  Make sure you’re using the auxiliary knob that matches the auxiliary channel you’re plugged into. You can send multiple channels to an auxiliary channel. For example, you may use an auxiliary channel if you’re a singer and want to hear the drums and guitars in a monitor so you stay on beat.

TL;DR in English: Press the “Mute” button on a channel to turn off its audio. Click the “Solo” button on a channel to isolate it. Use an auxiliary channel to “send” an audio signal to another source.

There are many online sources and several books that claim that switching to a more balanced and healthy diet can lead to improved fertility. Though it is always beneficial to eat a healthy diet, it should not replace other fertility treatments and options. However, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle may reduce a woman's risk of irregular ovulation and could improve her chances of getting pregnant. During the scientific study of fertility diets, the trials were focused on a specific condition found in infertile women: ovulatory dysfunction, or irregular ovulation. Women who have ovulatory dysfunction may benefit from adjustments to their diet if they want to try to get pregnant. For example, one study done by the Nurses’ Health Study tested over 18,000 women who were trying to get pregnant over an eight-year period. Only about 400 of these women were diagnosed with infertility related to irregular ovulation. Thus, the study linking nutrition and fertility was in fact only based on a very small number of women in the test group and may not be applicable to women who do not have irregular ovulation. Before you try a fertility diet, speak to your physician about other medical options to treat fertility issues or infertility. There are several certified medical procedures to help you get pregnant, as well as other options to help improve your chances of getting pregnant. You may be a good candidate for fertility drugs that will help regulate your ovulation. Your doctor may also suggest in vitro fertilization, intrauterine insemination, embryo testing, or reproductive immunology.

TL;DR in English:


Practice mindfulness. Try progressive muscle relaxation. Use deep breathing techniques to combat stress. Have a warm beverage. Use what you have learned.

Place 3-4 pumps of conditioner into your hand, then rub your hands together to evenly distribute the product. Run your fingers through your hair, spreading the conditioner from roots to ends. Continue this raking motion until you’ve worked the conditioner through all of your hair and curls have started to form.  Pump out more conditioner as needed, coating all of the hair well. You may need extra conditioner if you have long, thick hair. This conditioning step will give your hair plenty of moisture and help prevent frizz when you dry it. This product can act as a leave-in conditioner as well, so if your hair is feeling brittle and dry, only rinse out about a quarter of the conditioner. Use a low-pressure stream of cool water so you don’t disturb the curl pattern forming. A little conditioner left in will help protect your hair from frizzing during the drying process. With some cool, low-pressure water, wash out most of the conditioner in your hair and leave a little behind.

TL;DR in English: Use your fingers to gently rake conditioner through your hair. Leave in most of the conditioner if you have dry hair. Rinse out most of the conditioner if your hair is already well-moisturized.

Ask your date questions without “yes” or “no” answers so that they don’t feel like they’re being interrogated. Get to know your date’s personality and lifestyle. Does this person seem like someone who shares your goals and complements your personality? See if your date likes the same things that you do, or if your date could introduce you to something you’ve always wanted to try. Here’s a list of questions to get you started:  What do you like to do on weekends? What is one thing on your bucket list? What’s the best book you’ve read in the past six months? What in your life are you proud of?  “What do you do? Do you enjoy your job?” “What is your best friend like?” “Do you want to try some of my food?” “Are you a morning person?” “Do you have roommates? Who are they?” Give your date realistic information about yourself, your life, your interests, and your thoughts. Your date is here to get to know you. Don’t dominate the conversation, but do express yourself as you would in typical conversations with friends or potential partners. Find connections between your date and yourself. Make eye contact with your date. Smile. Practice good posture. Nod at what the other person is saying. Occasionally, summarize what the other person says and show an interest in the other person’s interests.  For example, you could say, “It sounds like you have a great relationship with your mother! When was the last time you saw her?” Or, “You seem like you really love your job. How did you get interested in public service?” Tell your date if you want to see them again. Get their number and call them within a couple of days. If you don’t want to see your date again, tell them that you had a nice time and that you hope they have a good rest of their evening. Don’t be overtly cruel about rejecting someone, but don’t feel as though you have to give them false hope by saying you want to see them again when you don’t.

TL;DR in English: Ask open-ended questions about your date. Talk about yourself. Practice active listening skills. Be honest about next steps.

Mindfulness is a form of meditation that calls attention to the present moment – the smells, the sounds, body sensations, and your thoughts and emotions – and asks you to experience them without judgement. You don't try to fight your negative thoughts, but you do not engage them, either. You acknowledge their existence (try naming them – "anger," "fear," etc.) and try not to react or judge.  The benefits of mindfulness include reduced rumination (dwelling on negative thoughts), reduced stress, and improved cognitive flexibility, making it easier for you to break out of old thought patterns.  Mindfulness will help you focus less on the "what-if's" of the future and "should-haves" of the past, and instead engage you in the present moment so you can fully participate in your life. Your negative thoughts may fill you with such anxiety that you walk around with your body tensed and don't even realize it. Learning to relax your muscles will help you feel the difference between your relaxed muscle and tense muscle, which can help you identify when you are becoming anxious and tense during the day. Progressive muscle relaxation can help you lower overall tension and stress, improve sleep, and reduce stomachaches and headaches related to anxiety. You can change your physical and emotional response to stress by practicing focused breathing. This is an easy technique for adults and kids alike, and can take as little as six seconds to halt your stress response.  When you begin to feel stressed, start by closing your eyes and relaxing your shoulders.  Imagine holes in the bottoms of your feet. Take a deep breath in and imagine hot air entering your body through the holes and flowing upwards to fill your lungs. Relax each muscle as you imagine the air passing through – your calves, thighs, stomach, etc.  Exhale and reverse the visualization, imagining the air flowing back out of your body and exiting through the holes in your feet. This can be an especially effective short-term tactic if your negative thoughts are related...

TL;DR in English:


Wear a hat. Keep your hands warm. Cover up the obvious holes in your wardrobe. Get the right shoes.

If she’s canceling plans with other guys to hang out with you, keep that in mind. If you notice she's not as quick to talk about her latest beau either, chances are she views you as more than a friend and wants to be in a relationship.  This is particularly true if she has talked about other guy crushes in the past, but suddenly changes the subject if you mention them. When she stops viewing you as one of the girls and refuses to share anything about her love life, you can rest assured that the feelings are mutual. In the past, you used to be able to get her take on your love life. Now she seems to blow up at the mere mention of another woman. If this happens, it’s probably safe to assume that she wants to be your only leading lady. She may tease you about past relationships, but if you mention someone you currently like, it may not go over well. Past relationships may be her way of teasing you, but mentioning a recent crush will ensure she won’t be smiling for long. In the past, you were more likely to hang out in a group setting. Now that she keeps asking to spend time alone with you, this may be a clue she’s into you. If you're being consistently invited to places that her past boyfriends accompanied her to, such as weddings or dances, you should probably have a discussion about whether you’re more than friends. If she's a good friend, she will appreciate your honesty. Though it may be awkward at first, you'll ultimately feel relieved once you've been honest.  Tell her how you feel. While it could be awkward and you may feel extremely nervous about revealing your feelings to her, you'll be glad you did it. It's much better to say something than to not say anything at all.  You may notice a look of relief on her face when you share your feelings with her. If she lights up when you tell her about your feelings, it is probable that she feels the same way. Begin the conversation by telling her how much you respect your friendship with her and that you've recently been having feelings that are beyond that of a...

TL;DR in English: Take note if she cancels plans with other guys. Watch for signs of anger if you talk about other girls. Look for a suggestion to hang out alone. Observe her reaction when you admit you like her.

Pull the  husks off of the corn as well as any threads or strings. Rinse the corn off in cool water, then cut off any bad spots. If you'd like, you can cut the cobs in half to make smaller portions. You will need 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of water. You can cook quite a large amount of corn using this method, especially if you stand the corn upright. The water should not touch the bottom of the steamer basket. If it does, pour some water out, but try to keep it as close to 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) as possible. Keep in mind that you may have to refill the water as the corn steams. If you are inserting the corn vertically, make sure that the stems are pointing downwards. If the corn is too big for the pot, cut the corn in half. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, and cook the corn for 7 to 10 minutes. If you like your corn more crisp, check it after about 4 minutes. The corn is ready when the kernels turn bright yellow. Keep an eye on the water; don't let it fall below 1 inch (2.54 centimeters). You will be more likely to scorch your pot this way. Be careful when taking the lid off the pot.; the steam will be very hot. At this point, you can garnish the corn with some salt, pepper, and butter.

TL;DR in English: Prepare the corn. Choose a pot that is large enough to fit the corn, then fill the bottom with water. Place a steamer basket in the bottom of the pan. Add the corn and cover the pot with a lid. Bring the water to a boil, then simmer it for 7 to 10 minutes. Use a pair of tongs to take the corn out of the pot, and transfer it to a serving plate. Serve the corn.

If you had CAD but your blockages were not sufficient to require intervention, you may simply receive suggestions for avoiding further episodes. You may have undergone intervention with angioplasty with blockages less than 70% or you could have had surgery to replace some of the arteries to your heart. In either of these cases, follow your doctor's recommendations about recovery. Make sure to avoid stress and focus on relaxation when trying to physically recover from a heart attack. There is significant research that we can lower the risk of heart attack with aggressive cholesterol management. This can be accomplished with medication and lifestyle changes, such as a adopting a healthy diet. Blood pressure is a primary risk factor for CAD. In patients with known CAD, a drop in Systolic Blood Pressure (the top number) of just 10 mm/.Hg decreased cardiovascular events by a full 50 percent.  There are several classes of drugs, from beta blockers to ace inhibitors, that can help patients lower their blood pressure. Contact your medical provider for suggestions, and a prescription, for a blood pressure medication. It is very important to lower your risk of having another heart attack. While this can be helped with medication, it is also your responsibility to make changes to your lifestyle that will lower that risk. Some important changes you can make include:  Adopt a low-sodium diet: Adopt a low-sodium diet. This means that your should be eating less than 2 grams of sodium per day. Focus on stress reduction:  Some people relax via meditation, a supervised exercise program, and others use hobbies, such as reading or yoga. Music therapy is another suggestion. Lose weight: Get your BMI below 30 via healthy and balanced diet. Consult with a nutritionist or dietician to create a diet that will work well for you. However, with any suspected CAD get your healthcare provider permission prior to starting any exercise program, as exercise may precipitate a heart attack Stop smoking: This is the single most important thing...

TL;DR in English: Focus on medical recovery. Lower your cholesterol. Lower your blood pressure. Modify your lifestyle.

If you’re taking good care of your mouth and are taking steps to prevent dry mouth at night but still wake up with bad breath, speak to your dentist. The mouth bacteria that causes bad breath can lead to several health implications, such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Some dental health issues can be linked to heart disease and stroke. Halitophobia is the fear of bad breath. It can become a serious issue and should be addressed with the help of a psychologist. People with this psychological condition think they have bad breath all the time. They may try to cover their mouth when talking or avoid talking to others. They may also become fixated with teeth cleaning and tongue cleaning, and frequently use chewing gum, mints, mouthwashes, and sprays.

TL;DR in English: Talk to your dentist if your bad breath doesn’t go away. Speak to your doctor if you suffer from halitophobia.

You lose a good deal of heat out of your head. Plus, it is also a sensitive part of the body, so you will really feel it when the temperature dips. Make sure you have something to keep your head warm and protect from the wind. One good piece of headgear for style is a beanie. It covers your ears and the top of your head, while also keeping your face open for people to see. It’s hard to feel stylish when no one can see your face. You don’t want to keep your hands stuffed into your pockets at the only way to keep warm. Instead, keep them out by covering them with gloves or mittens. Either one can work, but are better for different situations. Mittens will keep your hands warmer because they hold your fingers together in a single pouch. On the other hand, gloves give you more freedom to move and use your fingers.  Whichever you chose, you can always give your hands an extra boost with small hand warmers. Like other outer layers, waterproof mittens or gloves are best, especially if you will be dealing with rain or snow. Dry hands are easier to keep warm. Don’t just think about large areas of exposed skin like your arms, legs, or neck. Consider the parts of your body where your regular layers end, like your neck and wrists. Look for clothing that is a bit longer to cover up more exposed areas. Wearing a scarf is a great and stylish way to keep your neck warm. A colorful or interesting pattern can help you stand out, and it doesn’t need to match the rest of your wardrobe in the same way. Don’t forget that there are  a variety of ways to tie your scarf to vary your look, even with the same scarf. Your footwear should have some kind of tread. Winter is the season for ice, snow, and slush, and there is nothing stylish about slipping as you walk along. Boots are also thicker, and will help trap heat around your feet and ankles.  For women, consider higher boots that come further up your legs. The extra coverage will give you the freedom to consider a shorter skirt, and provide a slightly different look than rain or...

Spray with hairspray. Combine dish-washing soap, white vinegar, and water. Apply mixture with a cloth. Rub the polyester fabric together with your fingers. Rinse the garment.

If you’re new to smoking bongs, take a seat near a table or stand so you can set the bong down if you start coughing. Sit near an open window if you don’t want the room to fill with smoke. Make sure the area you're sitting in is free of any flammable objects. Wrap your hand around the smoke chamber (the long section that connects the mouthpiece and the water chamber) or hold the bong from the bottom. Make sure you have a good grip before you light it. Breathe using your diaphragm (the muscle below your lungs). Filling your body with oxygen will make it easier to inhale all the smoke from the bong, and you won't cough as much. Your lips should be inside the mouthpiece and the rim of the mouthpiece should be pressed against the area around your mouth. Make sure there aren’t any gaps so the smoke doesn’t escape. Use a regular pocket lighter. Hold the lighter so it’s vertical and light it with your thumb. Keep your other fingers wrapped around the lighter so they don’t get burned. Position the flame so you're only burning the edge of the cannabis in the bowl. This will help the cannabis in the bowl last longer. Hold the flame on the edge of the cannabis.

TL;DR in English: Get into a comfortable position with the bong. Hold the bong with your non-dominant hand. Take a few deep breaths. Put your mouth on the mouthpiece. Light the lighter with your free hand. Tilt the lighter on its side and bring the flame to the bowl.

When picking out pieces, make sure you have solid pieces that you can wear in a variety of scenarios. You want a wardrobe that will take you from work to out to dinner without having too many pieces that are only for one type of occasion.  For instance, a nice pair of pants that fits will can be made professional with a nice jacket and a blouse. For slightly dressier dinner, take off the jacket and add a scarf. As another example, a knee length skirt in a solid color is appropriate for work with a solid color on top, but it could also work for brunch with friends if you add few accessories. for your workhorse pieces. When it comes to fashion, the basic neutral colors are black, navy blue, browns, grays, and tans. Because neutrals don't tend to go well together in the same outfit, picking and sticking to one or two will help you create more outfits with less pieces.  Buy versatile items like skirts, pants, belts, and coats in your chosen neutral(s). White is also technically a neutral color, but it can be paired with other neutrals. Unless you're buying complete outfits at the same time, never buy a piece unless you know what you'll wear it with. Before buying an item, mentally create one or more outfits using it and pieces you already own.  Even though you love an item, it just may never fit into your wardrobe if it's not your usual style, which means you won't wear it. Skipping this step can lead to a lot of unworn pieces that just sit in your closet. The first step of building a wardrobe isn't buying anything; it's streamlining what you already have. Go through your closet and look for pieces you never wear. Eliminating these will make choosing good clothes much easier.  You can sell your old clothes online, if you're short on cash. Another option is to give them to charity. You'll even get a credit on your taxes for the donation, if you get a receipt. Some charities will pick up donations, so you don't have to go anywhere. Consider posting them on social media. Many times, your friends will want to claim...

TL;DR in English: Cover the basics. Pick one or two neutral colors Shop with your current wardrobe in mind. Get rid of anything you don't wear.

Purchase dahlia tubers online or at a local garden center. Dwarf and low-growing varieties are best for container growing. Some varieties can grow as tall as 5 feet (1.5 m), so you’ll need a much larger pot if you choose a tall species.  Small to medium varieties include Bednall Beauty, which grow up to 2 feet (61 cm), and Bishop of Llandaff, which grow up to 3 feet (0.91 m). Larger varieties include Hadrian’s Sunlight and Twyning’s After Eight, which grow 4 feet (1.2 m) or higher.  A single tuber needs about 1 to 2 feet (30 to 61 cm) of space, so you’ll probably only need 1 per container. Go for a heavy pot that’s at least 12 inches (30 cm) deep with a diameter of at least 12 inches (30 cm). Pots this size usually hold around 5 to 7 gallons (19 to 26 L) of soil. For the largest varieties, go with a 24 by 24 inch (61 by 61 cm) pot, which usually holds around 25 gallons (95 L) of soil. Varieties that grow 3 to 5 feet (0.91 to 1.52 m) can become top-heavy, and a lightweight pot may not be sturdy enough to support their weight. Additionally, tall varieties require a stake, which will add even more weight.  Plastic containers are lightweight, so go for sturdy ceramic or terracotta pots instead. Keep in mind terracotta and unglazed ceramic pots absorb water, so they can freeze and crack if they’re left out during the winter. This step may not be necessary if the container already has several drainage holes that allow excess water to drain. However, if your pot has small holes or only has 1 center hole, drill a few extra holes to improve drainage.  Dahlias grow best in well-drained environments. While they require lots of water, their fine roots are prone to rotting if the soil is too waterlogged. Fill the bottom with 2 inches (5.1 cm) of gravel for improved drainage. A dirty pot could spread disease, and hidden insect eggs may be lying in wait at the bottom of the pot. Remove these threats by cleaning the container before you plant. Gentle soap and water will do the trick.  Be sure to thoroughly rinse away all...

TL;DR in English: Select a species of dahlia that suits your space. Pick out a pot that’s at least 12 by 12 inches (30 by 30 cm). Choose a heavy pot if you’ve chosen a tall variety. Drill drainage holes, if necessary. Clean the pot with mild soap and warm water. Choose a rich, well-draining potting mix.

Use a hard pencil to create a light sketch of your subject. You can do this directly onto the canvas or onto tracing paper, and transfer it using a carbon copy. When you’re drawing your subject, keep in mind the composition and use of negative space.  Composition is the placement of items on the canvas. Choose the best placement so that the eye is drawn around the entirety of the canvas, rather than left to linger on a single spot. Negative space is the space around an object. If you are using an item in real life and are drawing it onto your canvas, draw difficult areas by looking at the space around the figure rather than at the figure itself. Consider what you will fill the negative space with once you start the painting in order to make your subject pop. Make note of overlapping figures, as these add depth to your composition. If your subject doesn’t have any overlapping shapes, consider rearranging until you do. This will add realism to your painting. To create a realistic painting, you must have obvious patches of light and dark. Look at your subject and determine the angle at which the light is coming from, and where shadows and highlights are located.  All light sources cast shadows, but if they are directly above the subject it can be difficult to see them. Try moving your light or your subject so that the shadows and highlights are more obvious. You may not have incredibly dark shadows or incredibly bright highlights. In fact, you likely will have a range of values that are all very near each other. Don’t be concerned if your light source isn’t creating a strong definition of shadows and highlights. For new painters, it is often very difficult to match the colors of their subject to the colors they mix with their paint. This is because the brain provides an idealized color value; you see the sky is blue, so you mix blue paint, only to realize that your paint is much brighter and colorful than the actual sky. The trick is to get past the symbols of color our brain uses, and examine the actual colors...

TL;DR in English: Create a rough sketch. Find the light source. Consider your colors. Look at the movement of your subject.

Using aerosol hairspray, apply a liberal amount on the ink to loosen the stain. This will bring the stain to the surface, which will make it easier to treat. Keep in mind when using hairspray that it can damage some fabrics and surfaces. This is why it's important to always check the care label before treating fabrics. Using a small bowl, mix together 1/2 teaspoon liquid dish-washing detergent, one tablespoon white vinegar, and one quart warm water to form a solution. Swirl together until the mixture is consistent throughout. Take a clean, white cloth and soak it in the mixture, and then generously apply to the stained area. Allow the stain to soak in the solution for about 30 minutes. Pressing the stained fabric together, rub the polyester until you see the stain begin to disappear. This will help the solution to lift the ink stain from your fabric and should remove any stain that remains. Rinse your clothing under cold running water. Do this until all vinegar and soap is rinsed out of the garment. Squeeze the garment occasionally to make sure it rinses completely. Leaving soap and vinegar in the garment can cause damage to the clothing.
