Cover your counter and put on a mask and safety goggles. Make the tile where you wish to cut it. Cut along the top, bottom, and side edges. Use an oscillating cutter to cut through tight corners. Pull the tile away.

One of the best ways to learn about Ancient Rome is to visit your local library or bookstore to find books on the subject. At a library or bookstore, you’ll be able to browse through a wide variety of books on a number of subjects related to Roman history and life. Finding books to read on Ancient Rome is perhaps the best  way to learn about the subject.  Consider classics like Edward Gibbon’s History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776). Look at books on different aspects of Roman history and society. Consider religion, government, language, military history, and more. Think about eBooks or other books online. There are a wide variety of websites that offer free digital copies of classic works on a variety of subjects. Another great way to learn about Ancient Rome is to enroll in formal education courses that focus on the subject. By enrolling in a class at your local college or taking a class online, you’ll have the benefit of learning about Ancient Rome from experts who have dedicated a large part of their lives to studying the subject.  Look into courses at your local community college or at a university. The types of courses you might investigate include introductory classes to world civilization, higher level courses specifically on Ancient Rome, or graduate courses that focus on specific parts of Roman life and/or history. Remember that you don’t need to pursue a degree to attend or audit a course. You might even be able to attend lectures for free – talk to the professor who teaches the course. Consider open courses through various universities. Yale University has a number of courses posted online that include syllabi, video-recorded lectures and more. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology also has a similar program. You can also learn about Ancient Rome through film. Film is a great medium to watch for learning and for entertainment. As a result, film is a great way to soak in information in a very low stress way.  Consider documentaries like the BBC's The Story of Ancient Rome. ...

TL;DR in English: Find books. Enroll in courses. Watch videos. Look for online resources. Think about traveling to Italy.

Men are intrigued by women who know what they want and like to do their own thing. If the guy thinks you'd be the kind of girl who wants to cling to him and to do absolutely everything together, he's likely to feel a little overwhelmed and scared off. Instead, let him see that you have your own interests, friends, and goals, and that you are determined to continue doing what you love, with or without him.  Of course, if you get into a serious relationship with the guy, it's inevitable that some of your interests will merge, but at first, he should be intrigued by your ability to do what you want. Pursue your passion. Nothing is more intriguing than that. Don't be too serious right away. Remember that if the guy likes you, there's a chance he'll wonder what it would be like to date you, so you should be fun, lighthearted, and create a dynamic, exciting conversation when you're together. Don't nitpick him, get into long, pointless conversations, or just be a stick in the mud. Be fun, don't take yourself too seriously, and tease the guy a little bit if he's up for it. He'll be intrigued by your ability to enjoy life and to have a good time no matter what. If you want to be playful, you can touch the guy lightly on the arm or gently shove him -- just don't overdo the physical contact. Men are intrigued by strong, confident women who are comfortable in their own skin. You don't want him to think that you're insecure and looking to fill a void in your life by dating him or he will feel too much pressure when he's around you. Instead, let him see that you like how you look, love what you do, and are happy to be surrounded by all of the awesome people in your life. If you're already happy with who you are, he's much more likely to be happy with you, too.  Body language can go a long way in making you look and feel confident. Hold your head high, maintain good posture, and don't fiddle with your hands too much if you want to look comfortable and secure. You don't have to sound like you have it all figured out; a bit...

TL;DR in English: Be independent. Be playful. Be happy with who you are. Be impressive. Be unpredictable.

Even when you're not on antibiotics, douching can lead to conditions in the vagina that promote yeast growth. Douches usually contain chemicals that kill off that good bacteria and leave room for the bad stuff to take over. Douching can also change the pH level in the vagina.  Instead of douching, wash with warm water only. Avoid using harsh soaps or body washes. Products with added scents can cause irritation. Don't put perfumes and sprays on your vagina. If you absolutely must add a scent, use a spray made from water and a gentle essential oil, such as a few drops of lavender. Tampons can encourage the growth of extra yeast. If you have your period while you're on antibiotics, switch to pads. Just make sure they're unscented, since a chemical-based perfume might irritate your vagina. Wipe from front to back to avoid any transfer of bacteria from the anal area to the vagina, which can encourage infection. Make sure your vaginal area stays clean and dry. Dyes and fragrances applied to your vagina can lead to the growth of yeast.

TL;DR in English: Avoid douching. Avoid  using perfumes or feminine sprays. Use unscented pads instead of tampons. Wipe yourself thoroughly after using the restroom. Use only unscented, white toilet paper.

If you decide to freeze an unbaked quiche after pouring the filling into the crust, do so by tray freezing it. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set the quiche on top. The parchment paper is not strictly necessary, but lining the baking sheet with parchment paper first can make it easier to clean things up in case any of the filling spills out and onto the tray as you transfer it into the freezer. Transfer the quiche and the baking sheet into the freezer, letting it rest in as flat a position as possible. Freeze the quiche for several hours, or until the filling becomes solid. The quiche should be as solid as possible. If the surface is soft, sticky, or tacky, it might stick to the plastic wrap or become indented after you place it in the freezer for storage. Get a large piece of plastic wrap and wrap it around the entire quiche, pressing the edges of the wrap together to create an airtight seal. It is important that you place the plastic wrap over the quiche before you place the aluminum foil over it. The plastic wrap will prevent the foil from sticking to the quiche after it freezes. Cover the plastic wrap covered quiche with a layer of aluminum foil. Once again, you should seal the edges firmly to minimize the amount of air getting inside. It is important that you do not let air come into contact with the quiche as it freezes. If the quiche gets exposed to air, ice crystals could form on the surface. These ice crystals could cause the crust to become soggy once they melt. If you do not have plastic wrap and/or aluminum foil, or if you are not confident that you created tight seals with either, place the quiche into a large plastic freezer bag and seal, squeezing out the excess air before zipping it closed. Whether you do this step or not, you should label the outer layer of wrapping with the current date and the contents of the dish. Doing so will make it easier for you to keep track of how long the quiche has been in the freezer. Transfer the wrapped quiche to the freezer and let it remain...

TL;DR in English: Place the assembled quiche on a baking sheet. Freeze until firm. Cover the quiche with plastic wrap. Wrap a layer of aluminum foil over the dish. Consider placing the quiche into a large plastic freezer bag. Freeze until ready to use. Bake from frozen when ready.

Cover your counter with plastic sheeting to protect it and make cleaning up easier. Put on a pair of safety goggles to protect your eyes against dust. Finally, put on a mask suitable for working with fine particles. Most dust masks and respirator masks come with a description of what they are used for, such as sanding dust, aerosol, etc. Choose the one for dust. A pencil may work just fine on a slate or ceramic tile, but if the tile is glazed, you should switch to a marker. Try to be as precise as possible for this step. If you need to get inside the wall, then you should cut through the dry wall as well. A dremel rotary cutter with a diamond tile blade will work for most tiles.  If your blade can't go around the corners, skip them for now. Installing a new electrical fixture will require you to get inside the wall. Mounting a towel rack does not. While a dremel rotary tool will work for most lines, it won't work on tight corners. For that, you should switch to an oscillating cutter instead. You may have to experiment before you find the right one for your type of tile. A multi-surface blade seems to work better than a tile blade, however. Wedge a thin knife or spatula behind the tile and pop it out. If you had to cut through the wall, try not to lose anything inside the wall. Your hole is now complete and ready to finish.

Backflips seem scarier but are easier to perform than front flips. After warming up and getting a feel for the trampoline by bouncing, begin to bounce in one spot. Stand straight with your hands against your side. On your highest bounce, prepare to flip. It may be helpful to choose a number between four and eight. Count your bounces. On the number you chose, make that bounce your highest and start the flip. In order to complete the flip, you'll need to create the proper trajectory. Lean slightly back when you rise on your last trampoline bounce. Your back, shoulders, neck, and head should point slightly behind the straight position you had when bouncing. If you lean back too far, you won't have enough momentum. If you lean forward, you will have a harder time flipping. Right when you reach the pinnacle of your bounce, shoot your arms up hard over your head, slightly bent like you're going to throw a ball backwards. Straighten them quickly before you start tumbling. It's important to do this with force to help start your rotation. As you begin to fall backwards, bring your legs into your chest. At the same time, bring your arms down. Reach for your knees and pull hard. Also tighten your abs to help pull you through your rotation. Once your sight goes past the trampoline to the area beyond, it's time to prepare for landing. Position yourself by uncurling your legs. Bring your arms out to help you maintain your balance. Before your feet hit the ground, bend your legs slightly. Never lock your legs while bending or else the impact will damage your knees. Try to land on the balls of your feet first before your heels hit the ground. In case you begin to fall, don't brace yourself with your hands. This may cause wrist damage.

TL;DR in English: Bounce high. Lean back slightly. Raise your arms. Tuck in your body. Open yourself up. Stick the landing.

Sit down with your partner and make a list of all people possible to be in your wedding party. Include whom you want, whom your partner wants, whom you feel obligated to invite, and whom you want to invite. Think about options from family to high school friends to newer friends you’ve made in the professional world. Your siblings will be your siblings forever. Even if you might be closer with your best work buddy than your brother right now, your brother will always be your brother. Weddings are mainly about family; you should seriously consider choosing your siblings for your wedding party. Leaving your siblings out could cause some unpleasant and unnecessary family drama, too. Even if you’re the one doing most of the wedding planning, remember that your partner’s family probably has just as much drama as yours. Your partner has just as many obligations to siblings and friends as you do. If your fiance asks you to invite his younger sister to be a bridesmaid, do it. The wedding party is a mixture of people that is supposed to love and support both of you. This is not a hard and fast rule, but it is a general guideline given to most people planning weddings. It might seem uneven to have a 300 person wedding with 1 bridesmaid or a 75 person wedding with 10 groomsmen. Use this rule as a guideline to narrowing down your list of potential wedding partiers.  However, don’t feel limited to sticking to the traditional gender balance (having an equal number of bridesmaids and groomsman). You can have more of one than the other, and you can also put them on different sides of the altar. Don’t forget about the size of your altar! If you’re getting married somewhere with limited space, make sure that you can fit your wedding party there comfortably. Before you send out official invitations or post on social media about your wedding, ask your potential bridesmaids, groomsmen, and other wedding partiers if they want to be in the wedding. They might have other commitments, have a fear of standing up in public, or just...

TL;DR in English: Make a list of all possible options. Consider immediate family. Don’t forget about your partner’s family. Choose approximately one bridesmaid and groomsman for every 50 guests. Give your wedding party a heads up before they’re invited. Give expectations for your wedding party’s responsibilities. Choose drama-free, supportive people who want to be in the wedding.

So far we've covered the very basics of rhythm and melody, and you should possess the basic skills necessary that you now understand what all those dots and squiggles represent. While this might get you through basic Flutophone class, there are still a few more things you'll want to know. Chief among these are key signatures. You may have seen sharps and flats in music: a sharp looks like a hashtag (♯)  and a flat looks like a lowercase B (♭). They are placed to the left of a note head and indicate that the note to follow is played a half-step (semitone) higher for a sharp, or a half-step lower for a flat. The C scale, as we learned, comprises the white keys on the piano. When you're beginning to read music, it's easiest to think of the sharps and flats as the black keys. C major and A minor have no sharps or flats. In Western music, notes are either a whole tone or a semitone apart. If you look at the C note on the piano keyboard, you'll see there's a black key between it and the next note up, the D. The musical distance between the C and the D is called a whole tone. The distance between the C and the black key is called a semitone. Now, you may be wondering what that black key is called. The answer is, “it depends.”  A good rule of thumb is if you are going up the scale, that note is the sharp version of the beginning note. When moving down the scale, that note would be the flat version of the beginning note. Thus, if you are moving from C to D with the black key, it would be written using a sharp (♯). In this case, the black note is written as C♯. When moving down the scale, from D to C and using the black note as a passing tone between them, the black key would be written using a flat (♭). Conventions like that makes music a little easier to read. If you were to write those three notes going up and used a D♭ instead of a C♯, the notation would be written using a natural sign (♮). Notice that there's a new sign—the natural. Whenever you see a natural sign (♮) that means that the note cancels any sharps or...

TL;DR in English: Take the next step. Know the whole tones and semitones. Understand key signatures.

If you would like to track your period the old-fashioned way, obtain a calendar and mark the days with pencil, pen, marker, or highlighter. You may use different colors, symbols, or stickers to mark the beginning and end of your cycle, the length of your period, or the days you experience physical or emotional symptoms. Create a system that is clear and works for you.  If you do not want to overload your calendar with too much information, you can keep a separate journal for your physical and emotional symptoms and only use the calendar to mark the beginning and end of your cycle and period. If you don't use a calendar often, keep your calendar in a place you will remember it. Hanging the calendar in your bathroom or placing it next to a mirror may be helpful If you are a very private individual and don't like your period info out for the world to see, use a very discrete mark (e.g. an "x," circle, or color) signifying the event to you. Instead of using pen and paper, you can use an app to track your period. These apps can keep all of your information at your fingertips and predict when your period will occur. In addition to having a calendar, many of these apps allow you to record physical and emotional changes that take place throughout your cycle.  Clue is a free app for iPhone and Android phones and is one of the most recommended apps. It allows you to record physical and emotional symptoms, the days you have sex, and create reminders to take your birth control pills. After entering a few months of data, the app will use algorithms to predict when your next period starts and when you are expected to ovulate. Period Tracker Lite is another free recommended period tracking app. This app allows you to use icons to describe your moods instead of typing out your symptoms. It is available for both iPhone and Android phones. If paper and pen or apps do not appeal to you, you can use an online tracker. These websites allow you to enter all of your cycle information and often have tools such as calendars, history...

Try to create a flat, even layer that you can easily pour the baking soda over. Continue doing this until all of the flames are extinguished. Use any kind of store-bought baking soda; you just want enough of it to create a thin layer over the embers and wood. Baking soda contains sodium bicarbonate, which is also found in some fire extinguishers, and it will help smother the fire so it doesn't restart. Avoid using sand to smother a fire as it will be difficult to clean out of the fireplace. If the fire restarts, repeat the ash and baking soda steps until the fire is completely out.

TL;DR in English: Use a fire poker to spread around the burning wood and embers. Scoop up some ash with a metal shovel and dump it over the firewood. Pour baking soda over the embers and firewood. Watch the fireplace for a few minutes to make sure the fire doesn't restart.

The factors of a number are all of the whole numbers that are evenly divisible into that number. The number 6 has four factors: 6, 3, 2, and 1. (Every number has a factor of 1, because every number can be evenly divided by 1.)   For example: 3/8 + 5/12. Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, and 8 Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 Once you have listed the factors of each denominator, circle all of the common factors. The largest of the common factors is the greatest common factor (GCF) that will be used to continue solving the problem.  In our example, 8 and 12 share the factors 1, 2, and 4. The greatest common factor is 4. In order to use the greatest common factor to solve the problem, you must first multiply the two denominators together. Continuing our example: 8 * 12 = 96 After finding the product of the two denominators, divide that product by the GCF you found previously. This number will be your least common denominator (LCD). Example: 96 / 4 = 24 To determine the multiple needed to make the denominators equal, divide the LCD you determined by the original denominator. Multiply the numerator and the denominator of each fraction by this number. The denominators should now both be equal to the LCD.  Example: 24 / 8 = 3; 24 / 12 = 2 (3/3) * (3/8) = 9/24; (2/2) * (5/12) = 10/24 9/24 + 10/24 With the LCD found, you should be able to add and subtract the fractions in the equation without further difficulty. Remember to simplify the fraction at the end, if possible. Example: 9/24 + 10/24 = 19/24

TL;DR in English: List all of the factors of each denominator. Identify the greatest common factor between both denominators. Multiply the denominators together. Divide this product by the GCF. Divide the LCD by the original denominator. Solve the rewritten equation.

Separate the stem and the bowl. Moisten a pipe cleaner with alcohol, and then run the pipe cleaner through the stem. Make sure to pull it all the way through. After you have pulled the damp pipe cleaner through, run a dry one through.  The pipe cleaner will probably have black and brown debris on it. Continue doing this until the pipe cleaner doesn't have any debris on it when you push it through. You can use isopropyl alcohol or grain alcohol. If it is available to you, you can also purchase pipe cleaning solution. The airhole should be cleaned with a bristle pipe cleaner that has been dipped in alcohol. Use this pipe cleaner to wipe the airhole, and follow that with a dry regular pipe cleaner.  There should be some resistance. If the airhole is too large, then fold the pipe cleaner in half. Do this until the pipe cleaner you scrub through the airhole comes out without any debris. The mortise is the place where the stem connects to the bowl. This can also get dirty, so use a cotton swab or shank brush to do this. Clean it until there is no residual ash or dark residue on the brush or swab. When the rim of the bowl starts to get a dark, ashy look, you should clean it. Take a damp pipe cleaner and wipe around the rim. This gets rid of any charring that begins around the rim from the flame of your lighter. This usually occurs from lighting the pipe. Many pipes have metal bands around them. When you do a deep cleaning, polish the band. Use a metal polish to do this. If your band is made of silver, use silver polish. While cleaning the pipe, avoid getting any alcohol on the outside. This will mess up the finish, stain, or detail on the outside. Use care to keep the alcohol on the pipe cleaner. This is also true for any pipe cleaning solution. Keep it away from the outside of the pipe. When the cake, the protective layer of ash, gets too thick, you need to ream the bowl. Reaming the bowl means scraping off some of the cake. You can use a reamer, which you can buy at a tobacco shop or online. As you clean the...

TL;DR in English: Run a pipe cleaner with alcohol through the stem. Clean the airhole with a bristle pipe cleaner. Clean the mortise. Clean the rim of the bowl. Polish the band. Avoid getting the alcohol on the outside of the pipe. Ream the bowl when the cake becomes too thick.

Plan what you will wear before, and make sure it's something you feel good moving around in. Don't wear something too tight or constricting. You will feel most confident in an outfit you're familiar with and you know you love. Shake the directors' hands, if offered. Introduce yourself and let them know what piece you are doing. Look each of them in the eyes while you are talking to them. Keep your back straight and try not to fidget. Pretend like you're meeting new coworkers: act friendly, but professional. Remember to smile, even if you don't feel like it. Smiling will make you feel more approachable. Project your voice so that your directors can hear it across the room. Clear your throat if you need to. Practice projecting your voice before the audition so you sound confident. Even if you feel nervous, a loud voice will make you seem self-assured. Some performers overwhelm themselves by considering what this audition will mean for their future career. Don't worry yourself with this during the audition. Instead, focus on what you must do to finish this audition. Take every audition one step at a time. Don't worry about getting the part or impressing the casting director. Make the focus on doing your best and improving yourself. Don't be afraid to pause for a moment if you're nervous. Clear your mind, and breathe in from your abdomen. When you're ready, begin just as you did in your mock audition. Smile, take another breath, and keep going. Your casting director will understand if you make a mistake. They expect even the best performers to make a mistake sometimes. When/if you do, they will pay more attention to your behavior and appreciate performers who can pick themselves up and keep going. Remember to practice this behavior during your mock auditions. If you know what to do beforehand, you'll continue without freezing during the actual audition.

Lope for a good few laps. Keep practicing. Ask someone to observe you.

Studies show that lying is a regular part of daily life even for people we’d otherwise consider moral, upstanding individuals. When people lie to ease social tensions, rather than to serve their own purposes, a white lie might be a better option than the truth. Lie as little as possible, without elaboration. An elaborate story about why you can’t attend a party will seem suspicious, and will also be more difficult to keep track of if someone asks you about it later. Everyone understands that familial obligations always trump parties. Tell your friends that you have to babysit a sibling, or that your parents are forcing you to have dinner at your uncle's house that night. An iron-clad excuse is that you're grounded; everyone will understand that there's no way you can come to a party. Only the most overbearing friend would try to guilt you into canceling plans you've already made with someone else to come to their party. But make sure that you don’t use a friend who’s attending the part as your alibi. Say you have plans with a friend from a different school, or even with an imaginary friend. On the day of the party, text your friend saying that you think you ate something bad, and that you have food poisoning. Nobody wants someone throwing up at their party. Plus, food poisoning passes very quickly, so nobody can be suspicious when you feel fine again the next day. Whether you're a student or an adult with a job, everyone knows and understands that sometimes we fall behind and have to catch up on our work. If the host still tries to pressure you into coming, say that your parents or your boss are upset with you, and you have to make it up to them. If the party is two weeks away, and you know the whole time that you don’t want to attend the party, don’t wait until the last second to get out of it! Set up your lie ahead of time to deflect suspicion. Some things you might consider are:  Telling the host at the time of invitation that you have a previous engagement on that day. Telling the host a day or two before...

TL;DR in English: Don’t be too hard on yourself for lying. Keep your lie simple. Blame your family. Say you already have plans. Pretend you’re not feeling well. Pretend you have too much work to do. Set up your lie ahead of time. Keep track of your lie.

Plain vinegar is too strong to use on hair, so it's important to dilute it with water first. One-fourth cup of vinegar and one-fourth cup of water should be enough for a single hair rinse.  If your hair is quite oily, you can add an extra tablespoon of vinegar. If your hair is dry or you tend to have dandruff, add a tablespoon of water. Curly hair and color treated or permed hair should be treated with a much more diluted solution, anywhere from 2 to 4 parts water to 1 part vinegar. Either distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar work well here. Many prefer using apple cider vinegar in the shower because the smell is less intense. Since you're using a vinegar rinse, there's no need to condition your hair after shampooing. The rinse will leave your hair soft and smooth. You may love the results of your rinse so much you're tempted to repeat it every time you wash your hair. However, vinegar can dry out your hair if you use it too often. Use it just once or twice a week to remove buildup in your hair and restore shine.

TL;DR in English: Mix vinegar and water. Skip the conditioner. Repeat once or twice a week.

Even parents who practice corporal punishment usually make a clear distinction between the occasional spanking and a deliberate, violent beating. It's never OK to beat a child. This is almost universally recognized as a form of abuse by parenting associations. In addition, clear links have been established between suffering beatings as a child and increased rates of mental illness as an adult. Additionally, certain forms of violence can cause permanent, even lethal damage to a growing child. For instance, shaking a young child in frustration or anger can give it brain damage or kill it. It's perfectly possible to be an abusive parent without even raising a finger towards your child. Neglect, isolation, and intimidation are all ways to damage your child's emotional growth. Though raising a child can be frustrating, these behaviors are never okay; not only are they cruel and unfair to the child, but they can also lead to serious problems, including self-harm, substance abuse, depression, and even suicide. Below is a brief list of behaviors that qualify as emotional abuse. For a complete list, consult anti-abuse resources like the American Humane Association:  Isolating the child from others from normal social interactions. Verbally assaulting the child with insults, threats, and ridicule. Terrorizing the child for failing to meet unreasonable expectations. Deliberately humiliating a child. Using fear and intimidation to control a child. Ignoring or neglecting the child's basic needs. Forcing the child to do something wrong or unhealthy. Refusing to show your child love, tenderness, and affection. Children are naturally curious; they learn by interacting with the world around them. Try to avoid punishing your child for misbehavior that's a result of honest curiosity. Punishing a child for doing something that they didn't even know was wrong may encourage them to be afraid of new experiences in the long run or even make the bad behavior more exciting. For example, it would be wrong to punish a child for asking...

TL;DR in English: Don't ever beat a child. Don't be an emotional abuser. Don't punish a child's curiosity. Know the dangers of harsh, overly-strict parenting. Know the dangers of weak, permissive parenting. Get outside help for major behavioral issues.

Lack of format support is the most common issue for loss of formatting when copy/pasting between web and non-web software.  Most modern email clients or office software will enable HTML formatting by default, whether it’s a web client, like Gmail/Google Docs, or a separate piece of software, like Microsoft Word/Outlook. Software that is either very old or very simple, like WordPad, Notepad, or TextEdit will not support HTML format. It is possible that HTML formatting is supported but has been disabled. You can usually toggle this manually in the options. Enabling this option will vary depending on the client being used. Typically you will want to look for an option labeled “HTML Format” or “Rich Text” in the options section of the client or in the text composition window. For example, formatting options can be toggled in Outlook in Tools > Options > Mail Format. Once both programs you are copying from and pasting to are using HTML formatting, you can copy/paste formatted text as smoothly as any other text.

TL;DR in English: Check that HTML formatting is supported by your software. Enable HTML formatting. Copy/Paste complex formatting.

Then take a break by trotting or walking your horse. Begin the steps above again to allow your horse to practice getting into the gait. As you advance in your loping ability you will be able to see a huge improvement in your horse’s posture, as well as his awareness of your riding and a faster response to your commands for lope. Like any new skill, your horse needs time to master loping. Each stride will have three footfalls, but should be a slower and more relaxed pace. As your lope becomes maintained and correct, you will be able to proceed to getting your horse to lower its head and be suitable for a western class. Even if you think that you have loping down, it’s best to get someone to watch you and your horse to make sure it’s all working as you hope. Sometimes it’s obvious to an outside observer that you need to make a small change in order to become truly proficient at loping.

TL;DR in English:

Most toasters require access to an electric wall outlet. If the toaster is plugged in but isn't working, check the cable for damage first, then plug the toaster into a different outlet.  If plugging the toasted into a different outlet doesn't help, then the toaster might be broken. Don't use the toaster if the cable appears damaged in some way. Check for damage, such as rips, tears, or scorch marks. Do not, under any circumstances, put a metal implement into the toaster while it is plugged in. Likewise, do not reach your hand into the toasting slots while the appliance is hot. The toaster works by firing metal filaments up to high heat using dangerous electrical currents. If you use your hand, you may burn yourself. If you put a fork into the slots, then you run the risk of electrocuting yourself.  If the toast gets stuck in the slots: try depressing the lever for a moment, then popping it up manually—quickly, with force—to fling the toast out the top of the toaster. Unplug the toaster before you try to remove food that is stuck. Then, use wooden tongs to remove the item. Wooden tongs will not conduct electricity! when it's not plugged in. Most toasters feature a flat, removable tray that slides in and out of the bottom of the appliance. This tray catches crumbs and burnt bits. Remove the tray and dump out the contents to clear space for more crumbs.  If your toaster doesn't have a tray, unplug it first, then carry it over to a sink or trashcan. Turn it upside down and shake the crumbs out. You need to remove these crumbs; otherwise, they become a fire hazard.

TL;DR in English: Make sure that the toaster is plugged in. Practice toaster safety. Clean a toaster

This includes goals, living arrangements, etc. Actual perfection, when nothing ever goes wrong and everything is amazing, is not possible. But you can get close by paying attention to your hopes and desires, striving to better yourself, and enjoying the present moment. When you envision your perfect day, what do you see? Who is there, what are you doing, and where are you?  Focus on things in your control, like your studies, career goals, and lifestyle. Think of people whose lives you admire. What about their life appeals to you? There is no "right" way to live a perfect life, so don't try and imitate anyone else. Instead, follow your own passions, dreams, and desires. Volunteering, tutoring a friend, and helping your parents around the house aren't just nice things to do, they can improve your own well-being. Doing good makes you feel good and it builds a loving, supportive network of people around you that will help if your own life ever gets tough. Make your life about more than just you and the feeling of perfection will creep one step closer. Education is, and always will be, the easiest way to make something of your life. Through education you improve your job prospects, your ability to think and reason in any situation, and your general knowledge on a variety of subjects. School, however, often makes it difficult to truly enjoy learning, turning it instead into a stressful chore you must slog through. However, by re-framing school as a chance for a free education, enjoying the learning purely for leaning's sake, you can find new motivation to study and grow with or without a teacher. The old adage, "knowledge is power," could not be truer. It doesn't matter what you do in life, the ability to learn and hold knowledge will help you be successful and happy. You are busy, and it often feels like people need teenagers to do 8,000 things every 24 hours. But you need to put your own happiness first sometimes in order to do you very best work. Each day, take 15 minutes or more to yourself. You could read,...

TL;DR in English: Write down what perfection means to you. Make time to help others. Look at schooling as a chance to grow and learn, not a forced chore. Give yourself some "me time" each day. Enjoy the present moment, even when things are hard. Reframe negative thoughts and experiences as positives. Remember that life isn't perfect-- and that is a good thing.

Both pyrethroid and imidacloprid insecticides work in a similar way by causing paralysis in insects, eventually leading to their death. The products are sold in liquid and granule forms at many gardening stores or are available to purchase online. Use care when handling insecticides. Even though the toxicity level is not as high for humans as it is for insects, it can still cause irritation or sickness. Crane fly eggs hatch at this time and the insecticide will be the most effective for killing adults and leatherjackets alike.  Pyrethroids and imidacloprid are preventative to help control future grub problems.  You can apply insecticides again when temperatures rise in the spring. If you’re using a liquid form of the insecticide, dilute the solution with water depending on the area that you are covering, or about 10 mL of concentrate per 5 L of water. Use a spreader to disperse granules across your lawn. Protect yourself from inhaling chemicals by wearing an earloop mask or similar product. Once you have finished applying the insecticide, water your yard with a sprinkler or a hose. This ensures that the pesticides are brought down into the soil and helps prevent accidental exposure to pets or other members of the family. Measure how fast your sprinkler waters a lawn by using a rain gauge. 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of water can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. Avoid letting pets outside for the next half hour while the lawn dries. While the lawn is wet, animals and humans are at risk for exposure to the insecticides. Once the lawn is dry, it is safe for family members and pets to return outside without exposure to the insecticide.

TL;DR in English: Pick a pyrethroid or an imidacloprid product. Apply the insecticide in late summer or early fall. Use a garden sprayer or spreader on the lawn to disperse the insecticide. Cover the lawn with 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of water immediately after application. Let the insecticide set for 30 minutes.

Pessimism tends to come from negative beliefs or thought patterns. When you’re feeling pessimistic, take a step back from your emotions and think about where your feelings are coming from.  If you find that you’re holding onto self-defeating ideas or a negative self-image, remind yourself that these ideas aren’t rational and they don’t have to hold you back. Make sure that you are surrounding yourself with optimistic people as well. You can meet new like-minded people by searching for groups on sites like Meetup.com. When you start having pessimistic thoughts, ask yourself, “Is this really true?” Often you’ll find that pessimism is driven by emotions that don’t have much to do with reality. Maintaining a rational mindset can help you see these thoughts for the illusions they are. For instance, if you have the pessimistic feeling that one of your coworkers doesn’t like you, instead of dwelling on the thought, ask yourself why you think that. Is there a more likely explanation? Perhaps your coworker is having a bad day, or they simply have a gruff demeanor. When you’re feeling pessimistic, it’s easy to see all the negative in your life and forget to look at the positive. Remind yourself of the good things you’ve achieved in the past to guide yourself back into a better state of mind. As much as you need to, bring to mind all the accomplishments you have achieved and all the obstacles you have already overcome in your life. Pay yourself on the back for graduating college. Give yourself a round of applause for finally detaching from your toxic best friend. All-or-nothing thinking can easily put you in a negative state of mind because it views any mistake, even a minor one, as a failure. In reality, no one and nothing is perfect.   For example, all-or-nothing thinkers may view others as “either you love me or you hate me,” when, in truth, it’s entirely possible to love someone but not like all their habits or qualities. Identify areas of your thinking that match this framework and challenge how realistic they...

TL;DR in English: Re-examine your beliefs. Use logic to fight negative thoughts. Remember your successes. Avoid all-or-nothing thinking. Reach out for support.

You only get one chance to make a first impression and it is important to make it count! When you are meeting someone new, make sure that you do everything you can to make a great first impression. This will help you to stand out.  For example, if you are meeting someone for a first date, make sure that you have practiced your entrance, introduction, and anything else that might come up in the first few minutes of meeting the person. Try telling a joke, wearing a flashy new outfit, or picking an interesting place to meet the person. . Listening can also help you to stand out since not everyone possesses this important skill. Develop your listening skills and practice them whenever you get a chance.  For example, you can practice good listening skills when your teacher is explaining the daily homework, when your best friend tells you about their day, or when your boss is describing a special project. To be a good listener, make eye contact and nod to show you are paying attention, rephrase what the person says to show them that you understood them, and ask questions to show your interest in what they are saying. Kindness is not a trait everyone possesses either, so showing kindness to everyone can also help you to stand out. Be nice to everyone you meet or interact with even if you have nothing to gain by being nice to them. For example, if there is a new student in your class, invite them to have lunch with you. If your office has just hired an intern for the summer, then let them know you are available if they have any questions. While you may not always want to voice an opinion on divisive issues, staying focused on your opinion while listening to other people can help you to stay true to yourself. By maintaining your stance, you may also avoid giving in to requests and ideas that you are against.  For example, if you have a strong opinion on who should win the next presidential election, then you might keep this idea in mind any time you are involved in a conversation where people are discussing the...

TL;DR in English:


Find a way to relax. Accept any wrongdoing and let it go. Recognize that you can’t be perfect. Stay away from circumstances that make you feel bad. Forgive yourself

A wound watch will run accurately from 18 to 36 hours - depending on the mechanism. Larger watches have larger mechanisms. Smaller watches have smaller, more delicate mechanisms.  Mechanical watches should be wound at least weekly, even if they are in storage. It might become routine if you wind the watch when dressing in the morning or before bed. You don’t need to purchase specialty oils or cleaners to care for your watch. Clean your watch with a toothbrush and warm water. Dip the toothbrush in the warm water and wipe off the bristles to remove excess water. Scrub the exterior and inside the stem with the toothbrush.  Don’t use too much force when cleaning inside the stem and crown. Don’t remove the screws and attempt to clean the gears, unless you know how to. Consult a watch specialist about cleaning the inside of your wristwatch. Watches are delicate instruments and you should be cautious when putting one away in storage. The best way to protect your watch is by wrapping it in a protective coating. This could be bubble wrap or another packaging protective fabric.  You should store the watch in an environment that is cool, clean, and dust free. Keep the watch out of direct sunlight.  You should attempt to wind it every week while in storage.

TL;DR in English: Wind the watch daily. Clean your watch. Store your watch properly.

Using your campaign media staff, come up with a way to get your name out there. Some ways to do this are billboards, newspaper ads, TV ads, online ads, etc. Give speeches and set up fundraisers. Be creative.  You may want to start with the early caucus states like Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. These states can give you an early lead that is hard to catch up in the long run. They'll also give you a boost in being considered for the party nomination. Be ready to travel. If it wasn't already clear, you'll need to quit your job. You'll be racking up those miles daily, so load up on Dramamine, deodorant, and sign up for a Premier Member card at your favorite chain of hotels. Campaigning requires vast amounts of money. Come up with an easy way to accept donations and to stay in touch with your initial backers. They're your bread and butter for a long time coming. Luckily, you've probably been public speaking for months, so the basics shouldn't be foreign to you. But when you get in front of those bright lights and that timer, the gloves come off. Start practicing ASAP -- you'll be glad you did. Know what you believe and are advocating. What's more, know what everyone else believes. Not only do you have to have you down, but you have to have your opponents and the world down too. Study precedents, current events, and all your competitors so you know what to expect when you get in the inquisition arena. If you come unprepared, the whole country will be watching your darting eyes and unsteady hands. Do the research on debating techniques while you're at it. You need to be forceful but not a stick-in-the-mud, caring but not a pushover, and charismatic to boot. You've spent a lot of hard-earned time and money campaigning and now you're getting down to the nitty gritty. If you're vying for a spot with the Republican or Democratic party, you have your work cut out for you. Failure may be inevitable.  Surround yourself with a sturdy support system before you get in too deep. They'll be able to catch you when you...

TL;DR in English: Start the campaign. Hone your debating skills. Prepare yourself for anything.

Starting from early childhood, people with Asperger’s exhibit marked differences in the way they communicate. These differences are the most noticeable symptoms, especially during childhood, before they have been taught tools they can use to communicate more effectively. Look for the following differences in communication style:   A tendency to avoid eye contact.  Limited use of varying facial expressions, and/or monotone voice. Limited use of expressive body language, such as hand gestures and nodding. People with Asperger's often struggle with auditory processing, and may take longer to process spoken words. They may say "What?" or "Could you repeat that?" often, only to figure out what someone said while the person is in the middle of repeating themselves.   Remembering large amounts of spoken words may be difficult, and the person may prefer to have written directions when it comes to things they need to do. Some people with Asperger's experience selective mutism, only talking when they feel comfortable. They may also find it difficult or impossible to speak during sensory overload, a meltdown, or in general. A person with Asperger’s may have difficulty imagining how others feel, and difficulty picking up on nonverbal cues. They may be confused about facial expressions or body language that conveys happiness, sadness, fear, or pain. Here are some ways this difficulty might manifest itself:   The person might not recognize when they have said something hurtful, or when they're making someone uncomfortable in a conversation. A child might play too rough, not realizing that pushing or other aggressive physical contact can be painful. The person constantly asks about people's feelings (e.g. "Are you sad?" "Are you sure that you're tired?") because they aren't sure how the other person feels. If the other person answers dishonestly, they may become very confused and try to seek an honest answer instead of letting it be. While they may not understand, they often care deeply. The person will act very surprised,...

TL;DR in English: Look for unusual nonverbal communication skills. Notice difficulties with receptive language. Determine if the person has trouble reading the social cues of others. Notice awkward or one-sided conversations. See if the person has intense passions. See if the person has trouble making friends. Notice the person's physical coordination. Notice sensory sensitivities. Recognize difficulty coping. Identify developmental delays, including delays beyond childhood. Recognize a need for additional quiet time.

Don’t assign physical classroom responsibilities to boys and decorating or organizational tasks to girls. Assign all tasks to all students equally. Girls are perfectly capable of carrying sports equipment just as boys are of keeping a class calendar. Make a point of alternating between genders when you call on students to participate in class. Studies show that male and female teachers tend to call on male students more frequently.  Alternating will give all students a chance to be heard. If you find that some students are shier than others, make a point of calling on quieter students as you alternate. That way everyone gets to contribute. Shy away from using terms of endearment for girls such as “honey” or “sweetheart” or “sport” for boys. Even if well intentioned, this tone can come across as condescending or overly chummy with one gender. Call all students by their first names unless a student directs you to use a nickname. Show students that boys and girls can be strong team players by forming mixed-gender groups for class work. Students often self-segregate by gender when they make groups on their own.  Working together in a group will show your students that both genders can provide valuable contributions. If your class doesn’t do many group projects, try an arranged seating chart to integrate the class more fully and increase engagement between students of different genders. Reassure both boys and girls in the class that it’s healthy and normal to discuss their feelings about distressing current events or topics they feel passionate about. Often class discussion can stray into areas of personal interest or national news.  For example, if a significant event has taken place that is an “elephant in the room,” take 5 minutes and address it before class. You might say to a group of high schoolers or college students, “I know we’re all thinking about yesterday’s school shooting. These events can be distressing and bring up a lot of emotions for everyone. How are you doing? It’s okay to share your feelings.”...

TL;DR in English: Ask all students to participate in a variety of classroom chores. Call on students of both genders. Address students equally. Create mixed-gender groups for class projects and discussions. Encourage all students to share their feelings.

Guilt can take a toll on your physical body. Since guilt usually indicates that you need punishment, you may be caught in a vicious cycle of internal punishment. When you don’t know why you feel guilty, self-punishment can feel especially exhausting. Take time to relax and push the feelings of guilt out of your mind. This will also reduce your stress level.  Help yourself get out of the punishment mode by thinking about something you did correctly that day. For example, congratulate yourself for making it to the gym, making a healthy food choice, or spending time with your family when you didn’t have to. There are many ways to relax, such as practicing breathing exercises, meditating, visualization techniques, and so on. To stop feeling guilty for no reason, you need to let go of your feelings of guilt. Identify any wrongdoing you might have committed, seek forgiveness from yourself and others, and then stop giving yourself permission to feel this way. Accept that there is no way to change what has already happened. Remember that letting go can be choosing to stop blaming others or yourself as well as forgiving yourself and others. Sometimes you may have a constant sense of guilt because you expect perfection from yourself. Consider that you may be demanding something from yourself that you can never have. No one on Earth is perfect. When you expect yourself to be perfect, you set yourself up for failure. A sense of failure can make you maintain feelings of guilt. Instead, tell yourself that you are only human. When you make mistakes, correct them and then stop thinking about it. Find a solution for your guilt by avoiding situations that give you guilty feelings. You may feel guilt for no reason, but some situations make you feel worse than others. Identify these situations and avoid them.  Start by keeping a planner and writing down each of your daily activities in it. After each activity is over, write down how you felt, such as “good,” “happy,” “sad,” or “guilty.” Later, look at your list of emotions and...

Save the remaining ¼ cup (55 grams) of sugar for later. Whole milk would be best, but if you don't have any whole milk on hand, you can use 2% or non-fat instead. If you have not yet done so, melt the butter either in the microwave or in a small saucepan over the stove. Pour the melted butter into the flour mixture, then give it a brisk stir with a whisk. For a richer dessert, use 1 stick (½ cup/115 grams) of melted butter. Use a rubber spatula to scrape any excess batter from the bottom and sides of the bowl, and into the baking dish. You can use frozen blackberries if you don't have any fresh ones, but be sure to let them thaw out first. Sprinkle the blackberries evenly across the top of the batter; don't worry if some of them sink in. This will help give the cobbler some texture. Make sure that you sprinkle the sugar evenly across the top of the batter. The cobbler is ready when the batter turns golden and the blackberries bubbly. For added texture, sprinkle 1 teaspoon to 2 tablespoons of sugar on top of the cobbler during the final 10 minutes of baking. You can serve it as is, or you can add some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly butter a 8 by 8-inch (20.32 by 20.32-centimeter) baking dish. Mix the flour and 1 cup (225 grams) of sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the milk, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Stir in the melted butter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Add the blackberries on top of the batter. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup (55 grams) of sugar on top. Bake the cobbler for 1 hour. Let the cobbler cool before serving it.

If you notice that some of the foliage is turning yellow, but not brown, leave it alone. The yellow stalks won’t affect the overall health of your plant, and cutting them down early actually decreases the amount of energy the plant can produce. Once the first frost has occurred, your lily plant no longer needs the energy produced by the foliage stalks. Use your shears to cut the yellow foliage stalks down to the ground. If quite a few of the leaves on one stem are brown, you should remove the entire stem. Follow the stem to the base of the lily plant, then use pruning shears to cut off the entire stem. Be sure you don’t leave a stub at the base of the plant. If you notice that just the tips of the leaves on your lily plant are browning, you don’t need to remove the whole stem. Instead, make an angled clip just below the browning tip. The plant should grow a new healthy green tip.

TL;DR in English: Leave yellowing or browning stalks until the fall. Prune back yellow stalks after the first frost. Remove entire stems of mostly brown leaves. Clip the tips of browning leaves.

around the workplace. Good employees model professionalism by treating others around them with respect. When talking to your office-mates, avoid making any inappropriate or off-color remarks to coworkers or supervisors. Avoid wasting your time joking around, being frequently off-task, or standing around in the common areas instead of at work in your workspace. If this is your first job out of high school or college, it may help to imagine that everyone you interact with is a teacher or professor. Do your job well, stick to the allotted time for lunch breaks, and avoid having any disciplinary marks put on your workplace HR record. As much as it's within your power, avoid arguments or disagreements with other employees. If you do have an in-office conflict, sort it out by talking to your boss and HR department. Frequent absences, missed deadlines, reprimands for unprofessional behavior, or too many complaints from customers may cause you to be dismissed from your job. Punctuality is an important part of being a good employee. It allows you to start your work day on time and will impress your boss and other co-workers who work the same shifts that you do. It's also a good way to show clients that you're a good employee. Coming to work late, on the other hand, shows a lack of interest or motivation, or may show that you're easily distracted from tasks. If you struggle to be on time, try planning to get to work 15 minutes early. That way, even if you're running late for your intended arrival time, you'll still arrive at work on time. Every workplace is different; some supervisors expect you to wear a suit or skirt, while others don't mind jeans and t-shirts. Find out from your boss or the HR department what the company dress policy is. Dressing appropriately shows that you take the work seriously and are dedicated to the job, and it may boost your performance as well. Examples of inappropriate attire for any workplace include: stained or torn clothing, unwashed clothes, and shirts with inappropriate words or...

TL;DR in English: Behave professionally Maintain a clean job-performance record. Arrive at your job on time every day. Dress appropriately for your job and office space.

Typically, you should avoid washing your hair right before you color it. Your scalp will be healthier if it’s protected from the dye with some of its natural oils, and washing the night before you dye will allow those oils to build back up. In addition, most hair dye brands recommend applying the product to dry hair.  Some semi-permanent dyes work best on clean hair or even require that you wash your hair right before dyeing it, so read the instructions that came in your box of dye to be sure. If your hair is too dirty, the dye might not be able to penetrate your hair evenly, so don’t try to color your hair if it’s been more than 2-3 days since the last time you washed it. Hair dye can be messy, even if you’re careful. Since you’ll be dyeing the hair at the back of your head, it will be even harder to avoid dripping dye. To avoid ruining your nice clothes, put on an old shirt and some shorts or sweatpants. That way, if a little dye does drip onto your clothes, you won’t be worried about it. You could also purchase a hairdresser’s cape to wear over your clothing. Once your hands (or gloves) are covered in dye, it will be really inconvenient to have to go looking for anything. Set up the area where you want to dye your hair with everything you might need during the process. Spread out towels or newspapers on your floor or counter. Also, keep some towels nearby for easy cleanup if a spill or splatter occurs.  If your kit didn’t come with gloves, you’ll need those as well. The process will be easier if you do it in the bathroom and have 2 mirrors, such as a wall-mounted mirror and a handheld mirror, so you can see the back of your head. Use the sink counter as your work station. Snags and tangles could cause the dye to saturate your hair unevenly, so take the time to comb it out before you start the dyeing process. Also, it will be harder to get a perfectly smooth part if your hair is knotted up. To separate out the underlayer, draw a line that starts behind one ear, then goes around the back of your head and to...

Mice can get a variety of infestations that have similar symptoms to a mite infection. For example, mice can get a lice infestation that presents very similarly to a mite infestation. In order for your mouse's issue to be treated correctly, you need to figure out what type of infestation the mouse actually has. When your veterinarian inspects your mouse, they should be able to tell what kind of infestation your mouse has. Treating a mite infestation requires you to apply a medication. The medications used for mite infestations may be applied on the skin, given orally, or injected by the veterinarian. They are usually applied twice, two weeks apart, to kill all adult mites. There are several medications that may be prescribed that are all macrocyclic lactone anti-parasitic drugs:  Selamectin Moxidectin  Ivermectin If the mite infestation has caused your mouse's skin to become infected, you may need to give it additional medication. Discuss this option with your veterinarian, as he or she may want to allow your mouse's immune system time to clear up the infection before relying on medication.  One reason for waiting on further medication is that infections are often treated with antibiotics. Veterinarians are in agreement that antibiotics are overprescribed and that over prescribing them leads to the development of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.  Once the mites are eliminated, it will be easier to get the infection under control. If one of your mice has a mite infestation, and it lives with other mice, then they may all be infested. Discuss the problem with your veterinarian but it is likely that the vet will have you treat all the mice you have. Infestation is transferred via direct contact. If you have other mice that are housed separately, be sure to keep uninfested mice away from the infested mice until the infestation is totally cleared up. Eliminating a mite infestation will require you to thoroughly clean and disinfect all equipment the mouse comes in contact with. This includes its cage, any...

TL;DR in English: Differentiate between infestations. Treat the mouse with a product recommended by your veterinarian. Treat secondary infections. Treat all other mice you have. Clean and disinfect all equipment.

Meditation will clear your mind of the distractions that might keep you from focusing on your studies. Before you sit down to study, set aside fifteen minutes to meditate; this will help you get in the right state of mind for working toward your goals without distractions.  Find a quiet environment. Sit cross-legged on the ground in a comfortable position, supporting your back against a wall if you need to. Close your eyes and focus on the darkness. Think about nothing but the darkness that you see. Don't let yourself think about anything else. When fifteen minutes have passed, get to work! Even if you don't like to read for homework, you probably read every day. You read interesting articles online and watch interesting videos online and on TV. Summary is one of the most useful skills you can have, and it's the foundational building block of everything you do in school. By practicing this skill on stories and information you find personally interesting, you are honing an important academic skill while thinking about something you enjoy. Whether you're in class or sitting at your desk at home, you might find yourself nodding off or getting lost in a daydream because you're bored. A good way to bring your mind back into focus is to practice mindfulness tricks.  Create a simple but distinct action that sends a clear message to yourself It should be something you don't do regularly — wiggling your toes, for example. Every time you feel your mind drifting away, wiggle your toes to snap yourself back into focus. If you feel like your mind is scattered and you can't focus on your goal, give yourself a task that you know you can accomplish that will take up a couple of minutes and that is just difficult enough to require concentration, but not difficult enough to frustrate you. Counting backward from 100 will help calm you down and focus your mind. Studies have shown that exercising for as little as ten minutes before tackling a task can improve performance by increasing the flow of blood to the brain. The effects...

Just because the rejection occurred online, that doesn't mean that you won't still be feeling the strong sadness of being broken up with, ignored, or excluded. Ostracism is inherently painful--our basic needs for belonging and recognition are unmet.  Knowing your feelings surrounding the rejection will allow you to slowly start to let them go, creating the distance needed to heal. The idea here is simply to let yourself feel some of this hurt--how rejection feels to you--so that you can tell when you're over the incident. Feeling your feelings will also help you get back in the game. The next time you show interest in someone's profile and start dating, you will not be harboring resentment or defeat from the previous setback. Moving away from the incident can help you to work out what has happened with greater clarity. Take the time to assess your own behavior that could have caused the rejection or unfriending.Staying online will keep you hurting and without the crucial distance to see if some of your online habits are off-putting to others, like making crude comments or posting excessively.  For instance, some people are very good in person; they smile, flirt, and make eye contact. But, that same person might not know how to communicate very well through text, appearing cold and distant. Time examining your online personality can show you quirks and features of your behavior that you may want to be aware of. Try taking a week long break from the particular site or even off the whole internet to give yourself the space to come to terms and reflect. Especially if the relationship was exclusively online, give yourself time before making a new connection on the same dating website. The best thing about online friends and suitors is that there are so many of them—enough that you don’t need to get attached to any one person or site. Take advantage of the fact that if someone unfriends, dumps, or ignores you online, there are plenty of other fish in the sea. You may even embrace having the incompatibility between...

In this case, twisted coat hangers or fishing-wire with a high tensile strength will suffice. Hang these wires with roughly six inches to one foot of slack around the tree limb. This will require that squirrels maneuver to get to the food without providing a major obstacle to them. Try attaching corn cobs to a bungee cord which is then hung from a tree limb or platform. Squirrels will perform acrobatics in an effort to feed on the corn, which is entertaining to watch. Once the wires are fastened to the tree branch, create a mechanism at the end of each wire capable of holding an ear of corn. The simplest way to do this is to twist a loop into the wire hangers that will support an ear of corn or tie a loop into fishing-wire. Attach whole ears of corn into the loops you created at the end of your wires. Make sure they are securely fastened, as they will need to support the weight of squirrels climbing on and hanging off of them. If the squirrels knock the corn to the ground, it largely defeats the purpose of employing a hanging feeder which is designed to make the squirrels “work” for the food. Now that the hanging wires have been stocked with corn, sit back and enjoy watching the squirrels perform various physical and acrobatic feats to get to the food supply. Be sure to replace exhausted ears of corn to keep the squirrels coming back.

TL;DR in English: Find a suitable tree branch. Hang simple wires from the branch. Create loops or holding points at the end of each wire. Attach the corn. Enjoy the feeder in action.

Canvas seats can be made to fit any size person, or project. For a small child, 2 yards (1.8 m) of the canvas will be appropriate, while adults will need 3-4 yards of fabric to form a proper seat. Most canvas should come at a standard width of 1.75 yards. If you want a deeper chair, fold the canvas long-ways, making your cuts along the longer edges of the fabric. If you want your chair wider, cut along the short side. In general, the short-side cut makes a better chair. Fold the canvas in half, short-ways. Orient the folded edge to your left. Mark a point about 7 inches to the left of the top right corner and draw a light diagonal line with pencil, toward the bottom right corner. This is where you'll cut. Again, make sure the folded edge is oriented to your left. You want to cut the unfolded side of the fabric. Go slowly, taking care to avoid creating a raggedy edge to work with. If you do, don't worry too much, because you can fold it over later while you're assembling and creating the edges. Open up the canvas and spread it out to work. You should have a four-sided shape, with two angled edges of equal length, a long side and a short side. Orient the fabric so the shortest side is at the top. Fold each edge back half an inch, then fold it again and iron. Pin them in place, and then stitch the fold twice in two parallel lines to reinforce it. Hemming the top and bottom of the chair seat will help to prevent tearing after frequent use. Hem the diagonal edges as well, but only once. After hemming the long and short sides, fold the diagonals that you cut earlier about a half inch, as you did the other edges. Pin, press, and sew the edge to reinforce it. Fold an inch and a half pocket back on each hemmed diagonal edge, then iron. Sew two reinforced lines along the hem, creating a pocket seam large enough to pull the rope through. Reinforce your beginning and ending with back stitches. These pockets are going to be holding your weight, so they need to be secure. Get creative and use your fabric paint to express...

TL;DR in English:


Use room-temperature water. Let the whiskey sit for up to 20 minutes. Sniff the whiskey again and taste it.

Apply a thorough coat of repellent to all sides of the pumpkin according to label instructions.  You may need to reapply the repellent every few days, especially after the rain. Many repellents are non-toxic since they are formulated to drive squirrels away rather than kill them. Most deer repellents will also be effective since squirrels and deers are driven off by many of the same scents. Look specifically for a repellent with large amounts of "putrescent whole egg solids." This is, essentially, rotten eggs. Squirrels typically hate the smell of rotten eggs. Be aware that many repellents can have a strong odor, especially immediately after application. The smell tends to dissipate as the spray dries, but in the meantime, you may need to place the pumpkin away from the house. The animosity between squirrel and dog is mutual, and many squirrels will stay away from an area if they smell a dog.  Dog hair is also effective at repelling deer. Cat hair may have a similar effect on squirrels, since larger cats can pose a threat to squirrels. It is best to use pet hair rather than pet waste. Cat waste is especially dangerous to use since it is a source of toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection that can cause serious health concerns for pregnant women and people with immune deficiencies. Applying a coat of liquefied hot pepper, hot sauce, or powdered cayenne pepper can give the squirrels in your neighborhood a shock once they take a sniff or nibble.  Blend the hottest peppers you can find with enough water to form a liquid. Add a drop of dish soap and a drop of vegetable oil to help the solution stick and pour it into a spray bottle. Coat the pumpkin every few days with this solution to drive squirrels away. Rub a coat of commercial hot sauce over all sides of the pumpkin. You may need to reapply the sauce after a few days or after the rain, but the hot oils have a way of penetrating the skin and soaking into the flesh of the pumpkin. Create a scent barrier around your pumpkin by sprinkling powdered cayenne pepper...

TL;DR in English: Spray with commercial squirrel repellent. Place the pumpkin on a blanket of dog hair. Use hot pepper or hot sauce. Surround the pumpkin with vinegar. Try eucalyptus oil.

Getting enough sleep while you're on chemotherapy is easier said than done. However, not doing so can make it harder for your immune system to do its job. In fact, sleep deprivation may suppress the immune system.  Skip naps during the day, which can make you less sleepy at night. If you feel tired, get up and do chores or move around to avoid the urge to nap. Also, exercise when you can to improve your sleep. Exercise 5-6 hours before you want to sleep, as exercising too close to bedtime can keep you up. Keep a standard sleeping schedule. Your body grows accustomed to a schedule, and it will anticipate sleep if you go to bed at the same time every night. If you have trouble remembering to go to bed, try setting an alarm an hour before you need to head to bed. Start a bedtime ritual that you repeat every night to remind your body it’s time to go to bed. For example, wash your face, brush your teeth, and tidy up before going to bed each night. Turn off electronics when your bedtime alarm goes off, as using them to close to bed can affect your sleep cycle. Block out noise and light in your bedroom for a better sleeping environment. Keep your bedroom dark and quiet by keeping electronics elsewhere in your home. Don’t go to bed too hungry or too full. If the chemotherapy is giving you insomnia, ask your doctor if a sleeping aid is a good idea. Exercise helps you maintain a healthy immune system. Of course, chemotherapy can make you not want to exercise, but even a little bit can be beneficial and boost your energy.  Always talk to your doctor before starting an exercise regimen, particularly when you're undergoing a treatment like chemotherapy. They can advise you on how much you can do. Your doctor may even recommend a physical therapist. Stick to low-intensity exercises, and rest when you need to.  For instance, try fitting in a few short walks throughout the day up and down your road. Ask your doctor to see if swimming is a viable option. If it is, make sure to dry yourself thoroughly afterward so you don’t...

TL;DR in English: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep a night to keep your immune system on track. Exercise 30 minutes most days of the week when you can. Practice stress-reducing activities to keep your immune system healthy.

Pick a place you won’t mind staying at for several hours. All sorts of different fish live in public lakes, rivers, and ponds, so you can always find something good to catch. The fish come close to the shore in the spring and autumn as they prepare for winter. In the summer, they tend to be in deeper waters, so take a boat out from the shore.P  Secluded spots around ponds or levees outside of town are good bets. Make sure you’re not crossing private property or fishing in a place that doesn’t allow it. Also, be careful not to trample plants along the shore. If you live on the coast, consider ocean fishing. If you get a separate ocean fishing license and rods and bait for the specific fish you want to catch, it’s the same as freshwater fishing. Many newspapers have local fishing reports that list fishing holes and what fish are biting there. You could also ask around at angling shops, marinas, and camping supply stores for tips. There are so many types of fish that getting started can feel a little overwhelming at first, so choose a type of fish to focus on. Bass, crappies, sunfish, bluegills, and catfish are a few varieties that are relatively easy for beginners to reel in. Catfish are common all over the U.S., for instance. Look for areas with deep water around large creeks and rivers. Head to them in spring and fall to get a fish that makes for a tasty meal fried and served at your table. If you want to catch a blue marlin, you’re going to need to head out on the ocean. Take some time to read up about the kind of fish you want to catch, where they live, and what kind of bait you need to succeed. Fish populations change from area to area and from freshwater to saltwater. Sometimes you have to plan out a trip to get what you want, but it’s a chance to see something new!  Go to the Great Lakes region of the U.S. for a variety of freshwater fish, for instance. Walleyes and northern pikes are a few popular catches. Set up on the shore and cast your line. In the southern U.S., gar and bowfins live in swampy...

TL;DR in English: Go to a well-stocked lake, river, or pond in your area. Find out what kind of fish are common in nearby fishing spots. Seek out a specific trophy or food fish you want to catch. Fish at places near deep water or moving currents. Go out at dawn and dusk to find more fish. Contact an environmental health department for safety warnings.

If you live in a place with mild winters - growing zone 10-12 or higher - you should be able to plant the poinsettia directly in the ground, where it will grow as a perennial and get larger with each passing year. If you're in a place where the temperature dips to freezing temperatures during the winter, you're better off keeping it in the pot as a houseplant. Poinsettia are native to Mexico, and they need a warm climate to thrive. If you bought the poinsettia during the winter as a decoration, keep the plant in the pot until spring, even if you live in a place with mild winters. If it came in foil remove the wrapper so water can drain from the pot. It needs to stay potted until the weather gets warm enough to transplant it. Water it whenever the soil starts to dry out.  At the beginning of spring, in March or April, cut the poinsettia back to about 8 inches. This will encourage it to begin a new growing cycle and get it ready for transplanting. Keep it watered and fertilize it once a month or so until early summer, when it's time for transplanting. Look for a place where the poinsettia will get morning sun as well as light or partial shade during the heat of the afternoon. Till the soil and loosen it to a depth of 12 to 16 inches (30 to 40 cm). Enrich the soil by adding organic compost if necessary. Poinsettias prefer rich, well-drained soil. Dig a hole as wide as the poinsettia's root ball and plant the poinsettia. Pat soil gently around the base of the stem. Mulch the area around the base of the plant with 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7 cm) of organic mulch. This keeps the soil cool and helps it retain moisture. You can apply a 12-12-12 or 20-20-20 compound at the start of the growing season or fertilize the plant with compost. If your soil is not very rich, you may need to fertilize the plants once a month. Water the plant at the base whenever the soil around the plant feels dry to the touch. Avoid overhead watering, which could cause fungal disease to form on the leaves of the plant. Pinch small growing shoots...

TL;DR in English: Decide whether the climate is right. Care for the poinsettia until spring. Prepare a planting spot. Plant the poinsettia. Fertilize the poinsettia. Water the poinsettia throughout the growing season. Prune the poinsettia. Propagate poinsettia cuttings. Overwinter the poinsettia.

After you’ve tasted the whiskey neat, it’s a good idea to add a little water. That helps open up the whiskey so you can pick up more of its flavors. Be sure to use room-temperature water, though, so differences in temperature don’t affect the whiskey’s taste. Mix still or flat water into your whiskey, not carbonated or sparkling. After adding the water, allow the whiskey to sit for as long as 20 minutes. During this time, the water slowly changes the flavor of the whiskey, which will allow you to notice more of a difference when you taste the whiskey again.  Adding the water to the whiskey can help bring out subtle flavors that you didn't pick up when it was neat. For example, you may be able to taste citrus notes or a nutty flavor that you didn't detect at first tasting. The water can also help tone down the alcohol taste of the whiskey, so if it had an unpleasant finish, you may find that you like it better with the water. Once the water is added to the whiskey, smell it once more. See if you can pick up any different aromas that you didn’t earlier. Next, sip the whiskey in the same fashion you did earlier and look for any changes in the aroma or flavor.

TL;DR in English:


Practice basic addition and subtraction to estimate your receipt. Use multiplication to calculate the cost of gas. Use sales and discounts to practice percents. Use mental division to split a bill.

"Buenas" is derived from the adjective "bueno," and "noches" is the plural form for the feminine noun meaning "night." Together they are used similarly to "good evening" in English.  Since there's no verb in the phrase, it doesn't change regardless of who you're addressing. "Buenas noches" can be used either as a greeting or a farewell, as long as it's dark out. However, it's more commonly used as a greeting. Translated literally, this phrase means "happy night," but it is used in the same way you would say "goodnight" in English. This is considered a polite evening farewell.  For example, if you were meeting your in-laws for the first time, you might say "feliz noche" to them as you were parting ways. Another polite farewell to use late in the evening is "que tengan buena noche" (kay tehn-GEHN boo-EHN-ah noh-CHAY), which means "have a good night." " Just as you might say "evening" instead of "good evening" in English, you can use "buenas" to mean "buenas noches." Since this short form doesn't indicate a time of day, you can use it anytime, although it's more frequently used in the afternoon and evening. The word descansa is taken from the verb descansar, and basically means "rest." In casual situations, you can say this as a way to say goodnight, especially if it's late and everyone is headed home for bed.  If you're saying farewell to a group of people, say (vosotros) "descansad" or (ustedes) "descansen," depending on your level of familiarity with the people and the customs of the country. This is a more casual farewell, typically used when you're on more familiar terms with the people you're addressing.

TL;DR in English: Say "buenas noches" (boo-EHN-ahs noh-CHAYS). Use "feliz noche" (fay-LEEZ noh-CHAY) as a farewell in more formal situations. Shorten your greeting to "buenas. Use "descansa" (days-CAHN-sah) at the end of the evening.

A bug in Creative Cloud 2015 and 2017 products prevents the "Photoshop" option from appearing in Bridge if either Photoshop or Bridge is out of date. You can update both of these programs by doing the following:  Open the Creative Cloud program. Click ⋮ in the upper-right corner. Click Check for App Updates  Click Update All if prompted. Keep in mind that updating doesn't always fix this problem. If your programs are both updated to the 2017 version, consider deleting and reinstalling Photoshop and Bridge, or use Photoshop's Scripts instead. Once you've finished updating both Bridge and Photoshop if necessary, restart your computer by doing the following:   Windows — Click Start, click Power, and click Restart.  Mac — Click the Apple menu, click Restart..., and click Restart when prompted. In order to speed up the process of opening your selected images in Photoshop, both Bridge and Photoshop should be open. Click a photo location on the left side of Bridge, then hold down Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ Command (Mac) while clicking each photo that you want to open as a layer. It's a tab in the upper-left corner of the Bridge window (Windows) or your Mac's screen (Mac). A drop-down menu will appear. This option is near the bottom of the drop-down menu. Doing so prompts a pop-out menu to appear. If you still don't see Photoshop in the Tools menu, you may need to use Photoshop's Scripts instead. You can also try deleting and reinstalling both Photoshop and Bridge. You'll find this option in the pop-out menu. Clicking it prompts Bridge to send your selected images into Photoshop, where they will be organized into one project as multiple layers. Once Photoshop displays your new project with your photos displayed as layers, you're free to close Bridge and begin working in Photoshop. You can switch between the individual layers by clicking the one that you want to view in the "Layers" window that's on the right side of Photoshop.

TL;DR in English: Update both Bridge and Photoshop. Restart your computer. Open both Bridge and Photoshop. Select photos in Bridge. Click Tools. Select Photoshop. Click Load Files into Photoshop Layers…. Wait for your photos to finish importing into Photoshop.

Don’t spend time with anyone who is negative all the time. This will make you feel bad about yourself and the world around you. You don’t want that in your life! Instead, spend time with people who understand that sometimes life is hard or sometimes people make mistakes but that things are largely good and should be appreciated for what they are, rather than held up to a standard they can never reach.  If you have a close friend who acts like this, try to help them change. If they continue to act this way, try to spend less time with them. It’s hard but being around negative people is very unhealthy and will not help you build a good image of yourself or your life. If you find yourself acting this way: stop. You don’t want to be that person. If there are bad things in your life, things you feel negative about, change them. Don’t complain and focus on all the bad things... make those bad things into better things! Don’t spend your time thinking about regrets and all of the times you did something wrong or failed in some way. Learn from those mistakes and move on. Instead of focusing on things you didn’t do right, remember all the things you excel at. Remember all the good things you’ve done. This will help you remember that you do good work and can accomplish great things when you try. Make a list of the things you are most proud of. Post it on your bedroom wall and look at it every day. This will motivate you to keep doing good things to make that list longer and longer. See if you can get it to reach down to the floor or be taller than you are! There is a saying that nobody is perfect and it is absolutely true. Nobody is perfect. Nothing is perfect. Perfection isn’t a real thing. This means that you need to stop trying to be perfect. In trying to be perfect you will only constantly disappoint yourself. It’s good to strive for something but this is the wrong way to do it. Instead, think about where you are and try to take it to the next step. Strive for getting a B on that next test before trying to get an A....

TL;DR in English: Avoid negative people. Concentrate on accomplishments, not on failures. Remove the idea of perfection. Practice self-affirmations.

Here's what you need to make grilled mussels:  3 lbs. mussels, rinsed and scrubbed 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter 3 tbsp. chopped parsley 2 halved lemons Salt to taste Pepper to taste Clean and lightly oil the grill. Heat and then remove 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter from the heat and stir in 3 tbsp. of chopped parsley. Set the butter and parsley mixture aside. Complete this process in batches if you can't fit all of the mussels on the grill in a single layer. Place them on the grill cut-side down. At this point, the lemons should be warmed and browned. Use tongs to do this. Throw away any mussels that don't open -- that means they weren't alive when they started cooking. Then, sprinkle them with salt and pepper to taste. Serve these delicious grilled mussels with the lemons and enjoy them while they're warm.

TL;DR in English: Gather your ingredients. Heat a grill over medium high heat. Melt the butter over medium heat in small pot. Place 3 lbs. of rinsed and scrubbed muscles on the grill in a single layer. Place 2 halved and lightly oiled lemons on the grill. Grill the mussels for about 5 minutes, until they open. Transfer the opened mussels to a large platter. Pour the herb butter over the mussels. Serve.

Keep track of the cost of things that you purchase at the store before you get to the cashier. Add the cost of items together and keep a running tally of your overall costs. When you get the receipt for your goods, compare your mental math with the actual cost of what you purchased. For instance, if your cereal costs $3.99 and soap costs $9.49, your total cost would be $13.48. Wait until your tank is almost empty, then multiply the cost of gas by your tank size. For instance, if you had a 12-gallon tank, and gas was $3.50 you could multiply 12x$3.50 = $42. You can also cover up the cost of the gas on the pump while looking at the gallons and use mental math to calculate your total cost. You can use multiplication to figure out costs if you're buying more than one of the same item. For instance, if you bought 4 candy bars for 2 dollars each, you'd have 4x$2.00 = $8.00. Round the cost of the product to the nearest dollar, and calculate the percentage of the sale. For instance, if there was a 7% discount on a $9.65 item, you could round up to $10. 7% of 10 is 0.7 or 70 cents, which is approximately how much you'd save.  Ten percent off of $9.65 is actually 0.97 cents. If you are buying a case of water that costs $5 and it's 25% off, your savings would be $1.25. If you need to split a bill, you can divide the bill by the number of people who have to pay to determine how much each person owes. For instance, if you had a heating bill that cost $125.36 and you have 3 roommates, you'd divide $125.36 by 4 to get $31.34.  If you wanted to break down the equation to make it easier, work on the dollar amounts first, then the cents. Breakdown $125 to $100 to make it easier to divide by 4 or $100/4=25. Then divide $25/4 to get the remaining numbers that you're missing. Add the remainder or $6 to $25 to get the whole number of $31.

TL;DR in English:
