Perhaps you discovered your teen was stealing money out of your wallet, or you found stolen goods in your teen's backpack. If your teen is a first time offender and has not been charged with a crime, it's important that you sit your teen down and explain how taking other people's property is illegal and could lead to jail time. Don't downplay the seriousness of the situation or coddle your teen into believing stealing is okay as long as you don't get caught. Be clear and forceful with your words as you explain the serious, potentially life altering consequences of stealing to your teen.  Use legal terms to explain the possible jail time associated with committing larceny (which is when you steal property from someone, like a purse or a bicycle) and committing a felony (which is when you steal with the intent to deprive someone of money, such as taking someone's wallet or writing a bad check).  The value of the stolen property will determine if the crime is considered a felony or a misdemeanor. Regardless of the level of the crime, your teen could be fined a steep amount or serve several months or years in jail if they are caught stealing. Another method is to show, rather than tell, your teen what could happen if they are caught stealing. If your teen has stolen money or goods from you, some parents recommend calling the police and having a police officer mock arrest the teen. The officer may hand cuff your teen and place them in the back of the police car so they can explain what a felony charge is and how it can affect your teen's future.  This may seem like an extreme tactic, and it should only be done if your teen has stolen from you directly as you are the one who will decide whether or not to press charges against your teen. However, this tactic can scare your teen so much that they may never even consider stealing again. If they have not stolen from you, try showing them prison documentaries or interviews with inmates. This will show them exactly what happens in prison and that could be them one day....

TL;DR in English: Explain the consequences of stealing. Show your teen the consequences of stealing. Impose a punishment that requires a positive action from your teen.

There are other legal structures to consider such as a Sole Proprietorship, Partnership or Limited Liability Company (LLC). All have advantages and disadvantages in regard to protecting you from liability, saving money on taxes and sharing profits and losses.   Sole proprietorship – A sole proprietorship is owned and run by one person, and there is no legal separation between the individual and the business. As a result, all profits, losses, and debts would be your responsibility. A sole proprietorship is easy to form and you have complete control over your business.  Partnership – This is a sharing of ownership between two or more people. Partnerships are formed through an agreement between the partners  and each individual partner is liable for his or her share of profits, losses, or liabilities. However each partner is generally liable for the full debts of the partnership if one does not pay his or her share. A partnership can work well if you need another person who has skills you might not have.  Limited liability company (LLC) – LLC owners pay taxes on their share of profits (as defined in a business agreement) through their individual income tax returns and have to pay self employment tax. They are protected from personal liability for the decisions and actions of the company. A DBA (Doing Business As) is needed whenever you are doing business under a name other than your own. If your business has a name other than yours, you will need to register that name as a DBA. You can check the records of the Florida Department of State at Sunbiz.org to make sure your business name is not too similar to an existing corporation. Corporations file taxes separately from their owners at a corporate tax rate. Your personal income will also be taxed when the company pays a dividend or makes a distribution to you. Speak with your lawyer or accountant to find out how to file your corporate and personal taxes appropriately.

TL;DR in English: Research the need to incorporate. Choose a business name. Register with the IRS and get a tax ID number.

After you have the door in place you will no longer have access to these areas. In particular, look for any remaining uneven spots that can be filled in to prevent air leaks or the collection of water. Especially focus on the sill area. The caulk will dry slowly, so it should still be pliable when you fit the new door into place. It is usually easiest to move the bottom of the door to the doorway and then raise the whole door unit into the frame.  Push shims into the spaces along the sides and top of the jamb to make the door fit snugly in place. You may only be able to do this from the interior side of the house as many exterior doors have molding around the exterior side of the jamb that will limit access to any gap.  Check to make sure the door is level before you nail or screw the door into its final position. Nail or screw through the jamb into the frame at several points to ensure that it is held firmly in place. Most pre-hung doors will also come with a few long screws that are specifically designed to anchor the door itself into the frame. Remove a few of the short screws that attach the door to the jamb and replace these with the long screws. The sill pan will just screw or nail into place over the sill region, and the cap will have to be attached where the exterior molding meets the outside wall. You must cover any remaining gaps to prevent air leaks or water damage.

TL;DR in English: Pre-caulk the hard to reach areas inside the frame of the door. Set the door in place. Secure the door into the frame. Install the sill pan and drip cap. Caulk around the edges to make sure the seal it complete.

Sore muscles or a minor strain can be treated at home, and pain usually goes away within a week. However, you'll need to see a doctor if you've suffered a serious injury or if you have severe pain with no obvious cause. Seek medical attention if you experience symptoms such as:  Severe pain, swelling, or widespread bruising  The inability to move your leg or bear weight A joint that seems out of position A popping sound when you suffered the injury Moderate pain that doesn't improve after 2 to 3 days If you're sore after a tough leg day workout, rest and avoid demanding activities. Icing the overused muscle, elevating it, and taking an over-the-counter pain reliever can also help, so follow the steps you'd take in treating a minor injury. You should feel better within a couple of days. To prevent sore muscles after a workout, warm up and cool down with a brisk walk or jog. Avoid exceeding your limits, and drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after exercise. Follow the RICE protocol (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) to relieve minor to moderate muscle pain due to injury. The first step is to avoid using the sore muscle and to keep your leg as still as possible. Stop all activity that causes pain and, if possible, take a day off to rest in bed or on the sofa. If you need to walk around, a cane or crutches can help keep weight off your sore leg. Wrap ice or an ice pack in a cloth instead of applying it directly to your skin. Ice the area for 10 to 15 minutes right away after an injury and again every hour for the rest of the day. For the next 2 to 3 days, ice your sore muscle every 3 to 4 hours. Wrap the affected muscle and either your knee or ankle with an ACE bandage or elastic sports tape. If your quadriceps or hamstring are sore, wrap your thigh, and wrap your lower leg if your calf muscles hurt. Each of these muscle groups cross the knee joint, so you should also wrap your knee to keep it in a relaxed, neutral position.  If possible, have a medical professional show you how to wrap or bandage your...

TL;DR in English: Treat minor pain at home, but see a doctor for serious injuries. Take it easy if you're sore after a workout. Rest your leg as much as possible. Apply ice for 10 to 15 minutes several times a day. Wrap the area with a bandage or sports tape. Elevate your leg to reduce swelling. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever, if necessary.

Peel the potatoes, then roughly chop them. Put them in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until they're completely soft, and a fork slides through them easily. Drain the water. Mash the potatoes roughly with a fork. Put the red chili powder,chopped green chilli,chopped onions, chat masala and coriander leaves in the pot with the potatoes.  Add a pinch of salt. Use a fork to mash the spices in with the potatoes to thoroughly distribute them. Taste the mixture and add more spices or salt if you wish. Stir in the  and chickpeas with a spoon, so that everything is completely mixed. If you wish, add a few drops of oil to moisten the filling. It doesn't need too much moisture, though, since you'll be adding pani as the finishing touch

TL;DR in English:


Pray for guidance. Read an example. Think about your past. Write an outline.

Now that you know some reasons why loss of self-esteem occur and the basic negative thoughts that are responsible for perpetuating low self-esteem, you can begin the process to change your beliefs about yourself. This process might be easier to do on the computer, so you can change the organization around so it makes sense to you without having to start your journal over again. A spreadsheet format is a good way to keep your thoughts organized and allows you plenty of room to experiment. For a few days, keep track of your negative thoughts. You can keep these in a paper notebook, on a word file on a laptop, or your iPad. Observe all the negative statements you notice that you make to yourself. If you don’t recognize them by type, it’s okay. Write down the statement anyway. For example, One of the items on the list was, “I’m going to fail if I try to make it as a writer,” along with associated thoughts: “Why even bother? No one will like it anyway. No one has anything original to say anyway. It’s all been written before.” Title this column “Negative Thoughts.” Put the thoughts into order, the top of the page containing the ones that bother you the most, and the bottom the thoughts that make you the least upset. If you see different types of statements that have something in common, group them together. For example, “I’m going to fail if I try to make it as a writer” is at the top of the list. All associated negative thoughts can be included with this thought, but the lead sentence can be thought of as the title for this sentiment. Make a column next to your Negative Thoughts column and call it “Memory/Experience Associated with This Thought.”  A person or experience might come to mind. Write it down. If not, just leave it blank. Understanding where you’ve been will help you realize why you feel the way you do.  For example, “My father told me I would fail if I tried to be a writer.” Remember, if you remember someone stating a negative comment to you, this is not a fact! It’s only their opinion, and you will be...

TL;DR in English: Start a self-esteem journal. Become a negative thought detective. Organize your list. Find the root of each negative thought. Identify feelings associated with each thought. Identify your behaviors. Adjust your thinking. Counter the negativity. Make a positive action plan. Focus on your positive attributes. Identify areas that you would like to improve. Write down areas that you would like to improve.

Your doctor will review your blood and urine test results, as well as the results of any other tests they conduct. They will look at whether all your tests, taken together, indicate you have multiple myeloma. Keep in mind multiple myeloma is difficult to diagnose until the late stages. If your doctor is not sure if your tests indicate you have this condition, they may monitor your health and require you to do additional testing in the future to ensure they can detect if or when you develop multiple myeloma. Your doctor will tell you whether you have Stage I, Stage II, or Stage III multiple myeloma. Stage I means you have a less aggressive form of the disease, stage II means you have a semi-aggressive form, and stage III means you have an aggressive form that is affecting your bones, kidneys, and organs. They will also tell you which risk category you fall into, which will tell you how aggressive your condition is. A higher risk category means your condition is more severe. If your tests indicate that you probably have multiple myeloma, your doctor will refer you to a blood and cancer specialist (a hematologist/oncologist). The specialist will do additional testing to confirm or rule out a diagnosis of multiple myeloma, and work with you to develop a treatment plan depending on the results. Many health insurance companies will cover the costs of a specialist. Speak to your insurance provider for more information. Your treatment options will depend on the severity of your condition. If your condition is not very severe and you are displaying no symptoms, your doctor may suggest no immediate treatment and monitor your condition to see if it gets worse. If your condition is severe, you may be prescribed cancer fighting drugs, chemotherapy, or a bone marrow transplant. Your doctor may also prescribe medication and lifestyle changes to treat complications caused by multiple myeloma. You may experience complications like bone pain, bone loss, anemia, kidney issues, and infections like the flu or pneumonia that can...

TL;DR in English: Find out if you tested positive for multiple myeloma. Discuss the severity of your condition with your doctor. Get a referral for a specialist to confirm your diagnosis. Discuss your treatment options with your specialist.

Looking at a color wheel can help you to sift through the many different hair colors and select one that will look good on you.  For example, if you have cool, pale skin, then opt for warm colors, such as golden browns and copper reds. If you have tan skin, then opt for cooler hair colors, such as ash browns and blondes. If you have warm undertones with yellow, pick a hair color that leans towards like chestnut, dark golden brown, auburn and mahogany. Then highlight using a red base, such as cinnamon or copper. If you choose a blonde base or blonde highlights, you may end up overemphasizing your yellow undertone. If you have cool tones with a pink or blue undertone, look for an intense brown, red, or blonde base. Then, pick highlights that have a honey-wheat or ash look. This will help contrast your cool undertones. Choose burgundy, cherry, or garnet hair color for dark skin with cool undertones. You can use these as a base color or highlight color. The cool red tones in this hair color give your skin a smooth even look.

TL;DR in English: Select a shade that is the opposite of your skin tone on a color wheel. Choose a deep rich base for your hair color. Choose an intense color base for your hair.

Having depression can be a lonely experience. Rather than isolate yourself from others, reach out to those around you. Enlist the support of your teachers so they can help you do well in school. Speak to them one on one about your depression. Ask them for assistance with assignments or class discussions outside of class. Most teachers will work with you to ensure you succeed in their class, even as you deal with the challenges of depression. Your teachers can also refer you to resources at school to help you cope with depression. This could be an afterschool program or the referral to the school counselor. Make an appointment with your school counselor to discuss your depression. School counselors know how to listen and help students dealing with depression. If your school counselor is trained in mental health, they can act as a therapist and support you. If they are not trained in mental health, they can still be a good resource for you to get help from a doctor or mental health professional. Your school counselor can give you tips on how to manage depression at school. They can also speak to your teachers for you and help you get accommodations for assignments so you can do well in your classes. If you feel more comfortable talking to someone you know, reach out to family and friends. Tell close friends that you are struggling with depression. Speak to a close family member about your struggles. Lean on those closest to you so you feel less alone with your depression.  You may confide in a family member or friend that you trust and comfortable being honest and open with. Let them know that you are looking someone to listen to you and support you, not to judge you or make you feel worse than you already do. Your family and friends may recommend that you speak to a mental health professional at school or through your doctor. Be open to hearing this advice. If your depression is getting in the way of your ability to function and do well in school, it may be time to speak to a mental health professional. Talk...

Your testimony is a strong tool you can use when witnessing to non-Christians. Since the primary purpose is to honor God and advance His kingdom, praying to the Holy Spirit for guidance before you set pen to paper is a logical first step. Get an idea of what to include by reading an effective testimony someone else wrote. You can either use a contemporary example or look for an example provided in scripture.  One of the best examples you can read through is Paul's testimony in the Bible. To read his testimony, check out Acts 22 and Acts 26. You should also ask yourself if there were any testimonies you heard or read prior to your conversion that left an impact on you. If so, recall the details of that testimony and determine what made it so powerful from your point of view. More specifically, think back on your life and attitude before you gave your life to Christ. Ask yourself what issues were important to you and what arguments for conversion had the greatest impact on your final decision. Seek to include these elements in your own testimony. More specifically, ask yourself about the obstacles you faced and how you felt when you were alone with your thoughts. Remember what it was that made you crave change, and any attempts you made to change in other ways prior to your conversion. Before you write out the actual testimony, it can be a good idea to write an outline or to otherwise summarize each section of your testimony. As a general rule, your testimony should be divided into three parts: your life before Christ, your decision to convert, and your life after conversion.

The number of photos you choose will depend on the size of your scrapbook paper, the size of your photos, and how much blank space you want on each page. You can arrange several smaller photos on the page, or you can make a whole-page layout by choosing a photo that’s just a little smaller than the paper you’re using. You can either create a mosaic by cutting each photo and putting it back in its original order, or you can mix-and-match pictures to create your own design. You can get a cool result from either technique, so experiment to see what you like! When you create your mosaic, a little of the paper will show through. Decide whether you want your paper to be plain white or a different color. However, avoid paper with an intricate pattern, which can create a busy effect that can be a little overwhelming to the eye. Common scrapbook paper sizes are 8.5 in × 11 in (22 cm × 28 cm) and 12 in × 12 in (30 cm × 30 cm), but you can use any size paper you like. Before you cut your photos, place them on your scrapbook page and decide how you want them to look. Leave room for any titles, stickers, or other decorative elements you’d like to include on the page. If you’re not planning on keeping the photos in their original state, you don’t necessarily have to do this. Turn the photos over, then use a ruler and a pen and pencil to draw a grid of evenly-spaced squares on the back of each one. Then, number each square consecutively. That way, once you’ve cut the photo, you’ll know exactly where each piece fits in the larger picture. A grid with 1 in (2.5 cm) squares is a good size for this project, but the size you choose is up to you! Place the photo on a paper cutter, and cut either horizontal or vertical strips along the grid you drew. Then, take each strip and cut it into smaller squares. If you don’t have a paper trimmer, you can use scissors instead. Just take your time and make straight, even cuts. Choose 1 photo to start with, and look for the piece with the number 1 written on it. Peel the backing off of a...

TL;DR in English: Choose the photos for your scrapbook mosaic. Arrange your photos on a piece of scrapbook paper. Arrange the photos on the page to plan your layout. Draw a numbered grid on the back of each photo. Use a paper trimmer to carefully cut the photo into squares. Attach the first square to the scrapbook paper with double-sided tape. Leave a small gap, then attach the next square, and repeat. Continue until the entire photo has been added, then decorate your page.

After you have successfully began making small talk with her, you can now have an actual conversation.  Ask her how her day is going to show that you are interested in her life.  Most people enjoy talking about themselves, so she will likely welcome the opportunity and be flattered that you asked. You can approach her and say something like “Hey, how’s your day going so far?” .  There is an old adage that says that “the way to a woman’s heart is to make her laugh”.  If you don’t know her, making her laugh might be difficult since you aren’t aware of her sense of humor.  However, you can work on picking out little funny things about your school that she is likely to find funny.. For instance, maybe your teacher does something that is funny to you like using the word “irregardless.”  You could say something humorous like “I think it’s so funny how we have an English teacher who uses words that aren’t words!” Take some time when you talk to her to find out more about her as a person.  If you don’t know her name, start there.  If you don’t know what year she is, ask her if she’s the same year as you.  She will gradually begin to open up and you can start asking more personal questions like “what do you like to do for fun?” or “what’s your favorite movie?” Talk about yourself some, as well, but don’t overdo it.  You don’t want to dominate the conversation.  You might say something like “I’m in the 7th grade, too” or “I got into college and I’m really excited about it.”  She will likely ask some questions about you, as well. Aim to talk slightly less than you listen.. After establishing some rapport with her, you can pay her a small compliment.  Don’t give compliments that are physical or that are overly detailed just yet.  She may be put off by that and uncomfortable talking to you thereafter. You might say something like “you’re really good at soccer” or “I saw you stick up for your friend to that bully.  You’re a really nice friend, it seems.” If you have spoken with her several times, then you might try asking...

When you encounter an abandoned baby raccoon in the wild, it is very likely that he is dehydrated. Before you can offer him any food, you must offer a hydration solution (or Pedialyte). Offer this in an eye-dropper or pet baby bottle. Look for plain, unflavored, unsweetened Pedialyte. ” In an emergency, you can make a homemade rehydration solution. Mix ½ teaspoon salt + ½ tablespoon of sugar + 2 cups of water. Warm this mixture slightly to dissolve the sugar and salt. Use this only until you can get to the store and purchase Pedialyte. Take your bottle of rehydration solution and submerge it in a container of hot water, until the solution warms to body temperature. Your baby raccoon is more likely to drink it if it mimics the temperature of his mama’s milk. It will also be more easily absorbed into his system this way. Using a warm washcloth or feather, you will need to stimulate the anus and urethra of your baby raccoon until he begins to urinate. Continue to offer rehydration solution until your raccoon is producing light yellow urine. When you feel that the baby is adequately hydrated, begin to integrate milk replacement formula (KMR or Esbilac). Start slowly, including small portions of milk replacement into his rehydration solution, and work up to full formula.  3 parts rehydration solution, 1 part milk replacement for two feedings. 2 parts rehydration solution, 2 parts milk replacement for two feedings. 1 part rehydration solution, 3 parts milk replacement for one or two feedings. Pure milk replacement.

Often, people will feel discouraged at something that seems too difficult for them. You should ask your friend to talk about what’s hard for them when it comes to studying, and how you can best help them. You can ask questions like  “What do you feel unsure about? Do you know anyone who could help you understand the material better? Do you need me to help you keep focused while you study?” At this point in their education, they have faced multiple stressful situations, and still managed to come out the other side. Ask them about it, saying something like “How did you prepare for the last hard exam you passed?”  When they’re done explaining, encourage them by saying “If you could overcome the obstacles then, you can do it again now.” Throughout their studying, make sure you remind them of this fact. Have your friend think about what they specifically want to achieve from studying, or just from this study session. Then have them list the smaller goals they will have to achieve along the way to reach the bigger ones. If necessary, have them break down the goals to their smallest individual steps, and begin helping them work through each, one by one.

Many foods are rich in vitamin C, including bell pepper (particularly red), citrus fruit, kiwi, broccoli, tomatoes, cabbage, and cantaloupe. To up your iron absorption, have a bowl of fresh spinach with red bell pepper and tomatoes or drink a smoothie with whole grains, nuts, greens, and citrus. Look for a micronutrient tracker for your phone. With these apps, you can put in what you're eating and it tells you how much you're consuming of each micronutrient. That way, you know exactly how much iron you're getting from your diet. For instance, try the Wholesome app or MyFitnessPal, both on Android and iPhone. This is a blue-green algae that is found in lakes. When dried out in powder form, you can add it as a topping to foods to increase your iron intake. For 3 ounces (85 g) of spirulina, you get 28 milligrams of iron. Try pairing it with barley grass juice powder, which contains minerals and vitamins that help you absorb the iron. An iron supplement can help you get the iron you're not getting from your diet. However, as with any supplement, it's always good to discuss how much you should be taking and how often with your doctor.  Look for ones that are suitable for vegetarians as some get their iron from meat sources. Additionally, make sure the iron supplement you choose is verified by a 3rd party, such as United States Pharmacopeia (USP).

TL;DR in English: Make sure you're pairing your iron with vitamin C. Track your iron intake with an app. Sprinkle spirulina on your food. Discuss an iron supplement with your doctor.

You can get electrocuted if you clean a dryer with water while it is still plugged in. Unplug the dryer before you begin to stay safe. Fill a small bowl or bucket with warm water and a few drops of dish soap. You can use any type of dish soap that you have on hand. Then, dip a clean dish rag into the soapy water and wring it out. Use the rag to wipe the inside of the dryer wherever it is stained. Apply medium to hard pressure to scrub the stains. Check after a few seconds to see if the stain is coming up. If it is, keep scrubbing. If not, you might need to try a different option. After you finish scrubbing the stains in the dryer, hold the rag under warm, running water. Then, wring it out and wipe out the inside of the dryer again to remove the soap residue. Your dryer is safe to use again after you finish wiping it out. Plug it back in after you finish cleaning it.

Recovering from a fear of abandonment requires finding healthy ways to cope with your anxieties. The first step towards finding healthy coping mechanisms is to take responsibility for the way you feel. Even though your emotions might be triggered by other people’s actions, realize that the way you respond to them is up to you. For example, if someone insults you and it makes you mad, you have to recognize that, even if the remark was degrading or humiliating, you have a choice about how to react. You can get angry, cry, or storm off. Or, you can search inside yourself and remember that your well-being is not dependent on the opinions of others, then smile and walk away. Think about why the idea of being abandoned is so frightening to you. Which particular scenario are you afraid of? If you were abandoned today, what specific emotion would that generate in you? What kind of thoughts would go through your mind? Getting specific about your fear can help you find ways to combat it. For example, you might fear that if your partner left you, you would feel unlovable and would never be able to find another relationship. If your fear of abandonment comes from an experience you had in childhood, you may be unconsciously assuming that scenario will play out again. Consider themes from your childhood that may be affecting you today. For instance, if you were abandoned by your mother or another female caretaker, you might feel like you can’t trust any women to remain in your life. Remind yourself that this is not a rational assumption to make, and that all people behave differently. When your anxieties are running high, fact checking is a useful strategy for regaining control of them. Take a moment to distance yourself from your emotions and question whether your thoughts make objective sense. Consider whether there is a simpler and more straightforward explanation for what’s going on. For instance, if your partner hasn’t texted you back in half an hour, your first reaction might be to think, “He’s getting tired of me...

TL;DR in English: Accept your emotions as your responsibility. Identify your fear. Stop generalizing. Practice fact checking. Adopt a mindful approach.

In the United States, you’ll need to select a business structure before you register your business. Examples include a limited liability company (LLC) and sole proprietorship. The best choice depends on your personal assets and tax liability, so ask your attorney or accountant which structure suits your needs. An LLC is the best choice for many small business owners, especially if you want to protect your personal assets. Your personal vehicle, home, and other assets won't be at risk if your business faces bankruptcy or lawsuits. To register your business with the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), you’ll need to apply for an employer identification number (EIN), which is free. Registration procedures vary by state; in general, you’ll file your business name, declare its structure, and pay registration fees.  Apply online for an EIN here: https://sa.www4.irs.gov/modiein/individual/index.jsp. Find your state’s business registration procedures here: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/state-government-websites. In the United States, you’ll need to apply for a Motor Carrier Authority Number and US DOT number with the Department of Transportation. If you only plan on traveling within state lines, you may only need an intrastate DOT number.  Find your state’s DOT requirements here: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/about/webstate.cfm. For locations outside of the United States, check with your department of transportation or other appropriate agency about licensing requirements. For example, in the United Kingdom, you’ll need to apply for a good vehicle operating license with the Traffic Commissioners of Great Britain. In the United States, you’ll need to file a Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Form (2290) with the IRS. Additionally, you’ll have to pay standard business taxes, including income tax, self-employment tax, employment taxes (if you hire employees), and applicable excise taxes, such as fuel tax. Check with your nation’s revenue service if you live outside of the United States. There are...

TL;DR in English: Choose a business structure. Register your business with federal and state agencies. Apply for operating licenses required by your jurisdiction. File industry-specific tax forms. Buy insurance that complies with your jurisdiction’s regulations.

There are a variety of factors that could potentially be causing your speakers to sound distorted or fuzzy. Mismatched equipment is one of the most common factors. Check that the amplifier and receiver support the ohms that the speakers draw, and that the speakers can handle the wattage output of the amplifier. Check the documentation for all of your equipment to ensure that everything matches. If you've accidentally swapped the positive and negative wires on your speakers, you likely will not hear anything coming out of them. Double check all of your connections, and ensure that the black cables are inserted in black clips, while the red cables are inserted in the red clips.  If the speaker is too far away and you aren't using a proper gauge wire, you can experience a lot of distortion. Try to move the speaker closer to the receiver and then shorten the wire, or run newer, lower-gauge wire. Crossed wires can short out your speakers and cause serious damage. Make sure the black and red wires are not touching when bare at the ends. Check that the speakers are not physically damaged. A blown-out speaker can sound terrible, so ensure that the woofers on the speaker aren't torn. If you see any physical damage, try replacing the speaker.

There are several methods of feeding fish during your absence. The length of your vacation will impact your choice but it is always a good idea to have someone check now and then, especially if the electricity goes off in your area (which only a neighbor will know about).  Get a vacation feeder and fill the compartments with the correct food for your fish. The feeder will automatically release food into the water according to a schedule that you program into it. This method is only suitable for fish that take pellet and flake like foods, as it will not hold bloodworms and other live foods.  Freeze-dried bloodworms are available.  Put feeder fish of varied sizes in the tank. It is key to put different sized feeder fish into the tank as the predator will eat some first, and some later, according to size. Do not put live worms into the tank as they will foul up your water. Use a feeder block. Go to your local pet store and buy a suitable feeder block for your fish. It's best to experiment with a few before you go away, as some fish will reject certain feeder blocks. Place the block into the bottom of the fish tank on the day you go away. If you are going away for a long time, organize for someone to come replace the feeder block every 5 to 7 days.  Have someone come over and feed your fish. This is the best method, especially if your fish are picky eaters, but make sure that they have enough time to feed your fish, and know how, when and what to feed them. With some fish you could place a large clump of vegetables in the tank with a weight, and they would eat it over time. Even if you don't like zucchini, it's possible your fish will. It is possible to satisfy two of the groups, as omnivores can eat carnivore and herbivore's food. Still, if you have different groups of fish diets in your tank, all with their own special food, it would be best to get someone who can spend enough time to make sure each group is satisfied. Fish like Bichirs and spiny eels tend to crawl out of holes in your tank, so make sure there...

TL;DR in English: Know your options. Provide live plants or vegetables. Combine these methods to care for a variety of fish. Cover your tank securely.

Tap the Snapchat app icon, which resembles a white ghost on a yellow background. The Snapchat camera will open if you're logged in. If you aren't logged in, tap LOG IN, enter your username (or email address, or phone number) and password, and tap LOG IN. Swipe right over the Camera page to do so. You should see a list of recently snapped friends appear. Scroll down until you find the name of the person to whom you recently sent a snap. Swipe from left to right across your friend's name to do so. Type in a message, then tap the Send button. It will pop up in the bottom-left corner of the chat window, just above the text box. If you see the Bitmoji appear, your friend is currently online and reading your chat.  If your friend doesn't use Bitmoji, you'll instead see a smiley face icon appear. The face will turn into a blue dot after a few seconds. If the Bitmoji (or blue dot) doesn't appear, your friend is either offline or not responding to your chat.

TL;DR in English: Open Snapchat . Scroll over to the Friends page. Find your friend's name. Open your friend's Chat page. Send a message to your friend. Wait for your friend's Bitmoji to appear.

For example, if you made $200 selling 100 cans of soda and the cost of the goods sold was $100, then your gross profit would be $100. Multiply the number by 100 to get a percentage, rather than a decimal. For example, divide $100 by $100 and the figure is 1. If you multiply it by 100, you get a gross profit percentage of 100 percent.

TL;DR in English: Subtract the cost of goods sold from the total revenue generated by the goods. Divide the gross profit by the cost of goods sold.

Many auditions will want to see you dance independently. Pick a pre-existing choreography or create your own well before the audition, depending on its rules, so you can rehearse it as much as possible. Pick or craft your solo choreography according to your own strengths and the audition’s requirements. Be sure to match the choreography to the style the staff is looking for. If there is a certain style or technique you excel with, you can showcase it through your choreography. If the audition is interested in someone comfortable with a wide range of styles, use your choreography to display your range as a dancer. Ideally, you’ll want to practice at least once a day. You will be able to memorize your routine more thoroughly by rehearsing often, letting you dance more confidently on audition day. If you can, set up a tripod to capture your rehearsal session, or ask a friend to take a video of the piece you’re using for your audition. You can go back and watch the footage to see where you may need to revise your movements. Some auditions also feature an interview segment where you will be asked to talk more about yourself and your history as a dancer. Now is the time to think of how you’ll respond to any potential questions. Research some common interview questions for dance auditions and compose honest, concise answers for them. Practice saying them aloud in a natural and clear voice. You may be asked about your professional objectives as a dancer, or any major events within your career thus far. Great answers for this question could include “I would like to open my own studio to teach and inspire young dancers,” or “I was the first student at my school to dance in a major Broadway show.” Aim for specific answers about your hopes and achievements.

TL;DR in English: Select or construct your audition choreography. Schedule frequent rehearsals for your routine. Record your rehearsal sessions. Practice your interview answers.

In the case of mirrors or glass tabletops especially, you may be able to give the object to a friend or even donate it to a charitable organization. By giving the glass away, you can get rid of it, help someone else, and keep the glass out of a landfill. Ultimately, whether or not you can recycle your specific piece of glass depends upon the area where you live. Mirrors, window glass, and other large pieces of glass have a different chemical composition than standard bottle glass, and many recycling plants may not accept them. If your municipality does accept window glass, etc., then they'll likely have a specific process for it. Contact them and follow any specific instructions. This process will most likely involve taking the glass down to a recycling center since the trucks that run recycling routes aren't typically equipped for nonstandard items. If it looks like sending your glass to the dump is the only option, then you’ll want to start by contacting your area’s waste management service. Different companies will handle waste of different sizes. For truly large pieces of glass, your waste management company may not dispose of it in a single piece. You'll likely find information with weight and dimension restrictions on the company's website or by calling. If they tell you you’ll need to break up the pane first, then the second method will be more suited to your needs. If your piece of glass is small enough to dispose of whole, you can trash the glass by taking steps to prepare it for disposal first. Since multiple waste management personnel will have to handle the glass, you want to help ensure that it doesn't break and become a hazard in the process. Start by covering the surface of the glass with duct tape. Tape across the glass will help keep the pieces in place and limit splintering in the event that is does break.  Tape both the front and back surfaces of the glass. The more of the surface you cover the better, but if you don't want to waste a large amount of tape, then you can simply place a large...

Vaginal itching can be a symptom of any number of sexually transmitted diseases. If you experience any of the following symptoms, or if you have any other reason to believe that you have been exposed to a sexually transmitted disease, see a doctor right away. Keep in mind that it is possible to have an STD even if you do not have any symptoms.  Trichomoniasis usually causes redness, a strong vaginal odor, and a yellow-green vaginal discharge, Chlamydia usually has no symptoms, but it may cause abnormal bleeding, vaginal discharge, and abdominal pain. Gonorrhea usually causes a thick, cloudy or bloody vaginal discharge, abnormal vaginal bleeding, anal itching, and painful urination. Herpes usually causes red bumps, blisters, or sores around the genital area. HPV or genital warts usually causes small, flesh-colored warts to appear near the genitals, which may appear in groups. If you have an STD, you will need to see a doctor for medical treatment. Some STDs can lead to serious complications if left untreated, so it's very important to see a doctor right away and take your medications as directed.  Gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and trichomoniasis can all be treated with antibiotics. Depending on the infection, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics or may give you an injection. HPV cannot be cured, but your doctor may be able to offer you treatments that can reduce the occurrence of genital warts. Herpes can be suppressed with antiviral drugs, which may help reduce outbreaks, but there is no cure and no way to guarantee that an infected person will not transmit the disease to others. The best way to avoid coming in contact with sexually transmitted diseases is to practice safe sex.  You will be safest from STDs if you are not sexually active or if you have one exclusive sexual partner who does not have an STD. If you have multiple partners, protect yourself from infection by using condoms whenever you have sex.

TL;DR in English: Know the warning signs of an STD. See a doctor. Prevent future infections.

You will need to remove and then kill all of the existing vegetation in the area you have marked off. You should begin doing this during the fall and winter so that the bed is ready by spring. If you have woody material in the area, you will need to remove it with pruners or a chainsaw. Grass and chickweed are easier to handle because they can be mowed, though this will not remove their roots. Weeds can be pulled, but there are easier ways to take care of weeds. You can kill the weeds and any other existing vegetation with newspaper. To completely kill the existing vegetation, cover the marked off area in several layer of wet newspaper. The newspaper kills the vegetation by blocking out sunlight. Most newspaper ink should not be harmful to the soil, but make sure not use glossy, slick newspaper that is covered in advertisements. Cover the newspaper with a thick layer of compost. Leave the newspaper until spring. Depending on what you need to kill, this process may need to happen during the active growth seasons, that is, spring, summer and fall. Four or five sheets of newspaper should be enough. You will need a combination of loam, sand, and clay. You should be able to squeeze your soil into a ball and then crumble it easily. Soil with too much clay will not crumble, and a soil with too much sand will not squeeze into a ball. To check your soil’s pH, you can test it on your own, or send in a sample to a laboratory. your soil’s pH. You can do this by adding a few inches of beneficial compost to your new vegetable garden. Most garden plants need acidic soil to thrive and adding compost or any organic material tends to increase acidity. Add the mix to the top of your garden a few inches deep, and then mix it into the existing soil. You can amend the acidity or alkalinity of soil by adding limestone or sulfur, depending on what results you are seeking. Use a tiller, spade/shovel, or garden fork to turn the soil over. A spade or shovel may be the best to use for a very new and firm bed. The soil should be damp,...

When you’re applying to schools, you’ll likely have to pick a specific program that you want to apply to, such as graphic design, drawing, painting, industrial design, or video game design. Do some research on jobs in that field and what kind of work you can expect to do after graduation, and look at schools that have that program. If you’ve had a lot of experience with drawing and painting, but want to go into industrial design or graphic design, remember that many of your artistic skills will be transferable. However, you will have to explain how your portfolio demonstrates that you have the skills for the program. Once you’ve decided what field of art you want to go into, go to the websites of the schools that you’re interested in, and find the dates of their open houses. On these days, you can walk around campus, meet with professors and students, and get a better idea of the program.  Attending these events will also give you an idea of the other students who might be submitting their applications. If you aren’t able to physically go to the open house, consider attending online “open houses,” where admissions counselors organize a group chat and can answer questions from prospective students. Many students are afraid to go to art school because they fear they won’t be able to pay for it. Be proactive about the situation and make an appointment to talk to the financial aid department. Learn about the type of funding available, and do some math to see how much money you’d be spending to get your degree.  If the school doesn’t have much available funding, it might be a sign that their programs aren’t very reputable. Try to submit your application to as many scholarships and grants as you qualify for. When you’re researching potential schools, take a look at the faculty list for the department that you’d be applying to. Check to see what the faculty members are researching or creating, and send a quick, polite email to 1-2 of them to discuss the school. For example, you might say something like, “Good...

TL;DR in English: Look for schools that offer programs that you’re interested in. Attend “Open Days” at the schools where you’re interested in applying. Ask about financial aid, scholarships, grants, and awards. Contact faculty members in your desired department to discuss the school. View works created by graduates of the school.

If you know what situations make you overly stressed and never seem to get easier, you can avoid them more easily. An awareness of the things, people, and places that trigger your stress will provide you more choice and help you flex your muscles for developing alternatives that work better for you personally.  There are basically two types of stress: acute stress, which is immediate and pretty intense, and chronic stress. You experience acute stress when you ask a crush out, you're pulled over for speeding, or having your first job interview. It can be very uncomfortable, but it usually doesn't last very long. Chronic stress occurs when you have a lot of stress piling up on you, and it doesn't tend to go away. For example, if you're in a job that you hate, you're trying to balance your work, family, and school, or you live in poverty, you're likely to experience chronic stress. This type of stress can cause serious health issues. Say you have a friend who always stresses you out to be around. You like this person, but every time you spend time together it leaves you feeling short, unnerved, and defensive. Is it because he always takes you to places you don't fit in? Does he encourage you to try things you're not interested in? Look at these details and be prepared to negotiate changes to where and what you do together. You may also choose to reconsider this friendship and the value it has for you. Alternately, if your stress is caused by something unavoidable like an exam that you are nervous about or an uncomfortable obligation to your family, you can prepare yourself mentally. Tell yourself that it is a passing scenario that will be over soon enough. Reminding yourself that you are capable of handling this temporary situation with grace will also put you in a more optimistic place. Imagine yourself moving through it with ease. Stress is just as much in our minds as it is in our bodies, and there are many ways to relax your body through natural means. Many studies have shown that relaxation is critical to...

TL;DR in English: Know your triggers. Learn how to relax. Drop ideals and unrealistic expectations. Let go of the little things. Choose your battles wisely. Block off some "you" time. Exercise to manage adrenaline.

Girls are annoyed by guys who talk down to them.  Don’t make comments that could be considered derogatory towards women or anyone else for that matter.  If she feels like you objectify women, she definitely won’t want to spend time with you. Don’t tell any jokes that could be construed as sexist or racist. Don’t talk about your ex all the time.  Girls hate when you can’t stop babbling about your past relationships.  She’ll think you still have feelings for your ex.  No woman wants to be your rebound girlfriend.  At some point, she may want to know about your former relationships to see what kind of guy you are, but let the conversation come up naturally. If you are still hung up on your ex, you should take some time to recover before you try meeting new women. Don’t be possessive.  Girls get really annoyed when you act like they’re your property.  She’ll also feel like you’re insecure if you feel the need to demonstrate ownership of her everywhere the two of you go.  Girls don’t like being treated like trophies.  Abstain from public displays of affection to show other guys she’s with you. Don’t try to stop her from talking to other guys. Always be polite and avoid  being crass.  Try not to say or do anything that she could be offended by.  If you gross her out, she certainly won’t be attracted to you and she may even be embarrassed to be around you in public.  Hold the door open for her. Don’t curse or swear. Be kind to service staff.

This is generally true if you work in a workplace with a business or business casual dress code. You might be able to get away with a dark lip color if you have darker skin, but otherwise, avoid dramatic or bright colors. Opt for nudes, beiges, and pastels around your eyes, and apply minimal eyeliner. Do have at least a basic makeup regimen for work. Women are perceived more favorably when they take those extra steps. You never know: some foundation, a bit of eyeshadow, and a sweep of mascara may be the little thing that tilts the balance in your favor. You have less to constrain your style, so why not go for something a bit more astonishing? Break out the bright red lipstick for a kissable confidence boost. Play with a tropical theme for your eyeshadow. Add false eyelashes to take your lash game from good to great. If you’re going out after work, start your day with the basics. Line your eyes lightly, put on a coat of mascara, and wear a single shade of eyeshadow. Once you get to the end of your workday, you can pop in the bathroom for extra eyeliner, another shade or two of eyeshadow to complete the effect, and an extra coat (or two) of mascara. Finish it off with a bright touch of lip color and you’ll be good to go.

TL;DR in English: Choose neutrals or lighter colors for workplace wear. Play with brighter, bolder colors for evenings out. Set yourself up for an easy transition.

Chugging a bubbly, foamy beer can cause stomach pain, gas, and nausea, so wait for the bubbles to go away before you start. Waiting also gives the beer a chance to warm up a bit, which can help prevent brain freeze after you chug! The shape of the glass can affect how well you’re able to chug your beer. A beer mug is much easier to chug than a snifter. The carbonation in your beer is caused by carbon dioxide (CO2). All that extra gas pumped into your stomach can cause discomfort and possibly nausea. An easy way to release some of that CO2 into the air rather than your stomach is to knock the bottom of the glass on a table or solid structure before you chug it. Don’t slam your glass on the table, just knock it to shake some of the bubbles loose. Before you actually start to chug your beer, take a big breath to prepare yourself for what lies ahead. Moving your head into position ahead of time will streamline the process and make it easy to dump the contents of your glass right into your belly. Make sure you’ve got a good grip on the glass as well. After you’ve taken a breath and steeled your resolve, move the glass to your mouth and place your lips around the edge of the glass. In one swift motion, turn the glass up to pour the contents into your mouth. Don’t sip or gulp the beer or the liquid may spill out of the edges of your mouth. Be careful not to knock the glass against your teeth and risk chipping a tooth. As the contents of your glass enter your mouth, do not swallow. Instead, allow your throat to relax and the beer to flow directly into your stomach. Let gravity do the work for you. Be sure to hold your breath and don’t stop the flow of beer to take a breath as this will slow you down and possibly cause you to spill precious drops of beer. Imagine you are pouring a glass of water down an open drain. You’ve made it this far, don’t stop now! Keep your throat relaxed as the beer flows out of the glass. Tilt the glass further and further up to finish draining it. When the beer is gone, resume breathing,...

TL;DR in English: Pour the beer into a glass and wait for the foam to dissipate. Hit the bottom of the glass on a table to release CO2. Take a deep breath, and lean your head back slightly. Bring the glass to your lips and tilt it up quickly. Relax your throat and hold your breath. Finish chugging the entire glass of beer.

Indirect sunlight is best for potted violets because it encourages growth without drying out the plant. Place them a few feet from a sunny window and rotate the plant occasionally to ensure that it has even exposure to the light.  In the winter, move the violet closer to a window for more direct light, especially if you live in a colder climate. African violets can also thrive under artificial and fluorescent lighting in an office or bedroom, as long as the plant receives at least 8 hours of light per day. The violets grow best in soil that is always moist, but they don’t require watering every day. To water them from above, pour room temperature water over the soil until it begins to drain through the holes at the bottom of the pot. Alternatively, you can water the violets from the bottom of the pot by setting the container in 1 in (2.5 cm) of water for 30-60 minutes, or until the top of the soil becomes moist to the touch. Select a general flower fertilizer in a slow-release, liquid, or water-soluble form. Remember to follow the directions on the package carefully to ensure that you aren’t over-feeding the plant. Many experts recommend using ½ the recommended amount for new African violets to encourage growth without harming the soil.  During the winter, African violets can go into a period of dormancy. During this period, use ⅓ of the suggested amount of fertilizer to prevent fertilizer burn. If you’re using a dry fertilizer, water the plant before feeding it to ensure that the fertilizer breaks down and incorporates with the soil. When the violet grows to be about 3 times the diameter of the pot, select a larger pot to house the plant. A larger pot will help to prevent root rot and encourage lateral growth. Sometimes, the root ball of the violet will separate during transplanting. This means that the plant has actually grown into 2 separate plants, which will require 2 pots. Plant them in different pots with enough space for root growth.

TL;DR in English: Place the pot in an area that receives 8 hours of filtered or indirect light per day. Water African violets only when the top of the soil is dry. Fertilize the violets every 6-8 weeks with a 20-20-20 fertilizer. Repot African violets every 6-12 months.

Try not to use your name, or someone else's name that you know, as this may be considered personal information.  Your character doesn't have to have their name mentioned in your novel. You may be writing a mystery have your main character may just be referred to as, for example, the Man, all the way through the novel. Even if this is the case, to add depth to your character, you should know them inside-out even if the reader will not. Some characters may not get their name until you've fleshed them out. That's okay too––go with whatever feels right as you develop the character. Give your character a unique, memorable name. Baby name books are a good resource. You can also check sites that help new parents to name a baby.

TL;DR in English:


Recognize separation anxiety. Try counterconditioning your dog. Desensitize your dog to solitude. Be patient. Consider alternative arrangements.

This includes a washable hat, protective eyewear, a face mask, thick work gloves, a long sleeved shirt, long pants, and close-toed shoes. It’s best to wear a half-facepiece respirator with a combined dust and gas cartridge, as this provides the best protection against breathing in the fumes. You don’t need to worry about how much water you’re putting in. As long as you know the size of your tank, you’ll be able to create the right mixture by measuring out your Termidor.  Use your water hose or a bucket to fill the tank. You'll need to purchase a pesticide sprayer separately from the Termidor. Choose a model that comes with a pump and applicator. If you don't have a sprayer, you can use a 5 US gal (19 L) bucket to mix and apply the Termidor. However, application won't be as easy and may not be even. Additionally, it's best to use a sprayer to treat the soil you took out of your trench. Follow the instructions for your sprayer to make sure the applicator is securely attached. As you mix your solution, the sprayer pump will prime your applicator tube by cycling the solution through it. This is the part that sprays the solution. Follow the instructions for your particular model. You should see the water rippling due to the pumping action. Once you add the Termidor SC, it will start mixing with the water. If you’re not sure how to turn on your pump, check the instruction manual. Measure out the Termidor SC and put it into the sprayer tank. The pump will mix the solution for you, so don’t try to shake or stir it. Use your water hose or bucket to add water until it reaches the fill line on your sprayer model. Don’t overflow the tank, as this may spill the pesticide solution onto ground that’s not being treated. Then, your solution will be ready for use. Leave the pump on as you use the sprayer so that the solution remains mixed.

TL;DR in English: Put on personal protective gear before handling and applying Termidor. Fill about ⅓ of your sprayer tank with water. Attach the applicator tube to the tank. Start the pump to begin agitating the water. Add the correct amount of Termidor SC, as directed on the label. Fill the rest of the tank with water. Wait 2-3 minutes for the Termidor SC to dissolve.

Becoming a fearless goalie starts with practicing and perfecting basic soccer playing skills so you are more comfortable on the field. As the goalkeeper you are the last line of defense for your team. During your training focus on your reflexes, reaction time, as well as your overall agility.  For reflex training, have your teammates line up in front of the goal each with their own ball. Have each of them kick the ball from different distances and at different speeds so that you have a variety of situations to deal with. This will get you used to high intensity game play, as well as work on the reflexes needed to be a fearless goalie. To practice your reaction time, have your coach line up two rows of balls in front of the goal, one row closer to the goal than the other. Your coach will kick the balls into the goal (the closer ones will come off the ground a bit while the farther ones will stay lower, creating an erratic pattern). Your job is to keep all the balls from getting into the goal. As with most sports, keeping your eye on the ball is key. When training, use a smaller ball than your standard soccer ball. This will help you focus better and make it easier for you to catch, block, and maneuver the larger soccer ball once you're in the game. Having quick feet is very important for the goalkeeper. You have to be able to move back and forth, jump, and move out of the way very quickly. Make sure you master the two most common forms of footwork used by goalies, side-to-side and crossover.  Side-to-side. Train for this kind of footwork by keeping the ball between your feet and quickly kicking it back and forth between the insides of your feet. Once comfortable with that movement start to practice keeping the ball moving from side to side between your feet while moving your whole body forward and backward.  Crossover. This involves swiftly crossing one foot in front of the other to get the ball. To practice this, bounce the ball off the top of your cleats about knee height back and forth, and then to waist...

TL;DR in English: Hone your basic soccer skills. Focus on hand-eye coordination. Practice your footwork. Look at players’ stances.

The juices typically don't take too long to absorb into your bloodstream. The sugar in the juices tends to wake up your baby while in utero. Also, if you didn't give up caffeine after finding out you're pregnant, you can opt for a cup of coffee or can of soda. The caffeine enters your bloodstream and might stimulate your baby to move around. This could help if you feel as though your baby isn't moving and may be asleep. While walking can usually soothe and rock a baby to sleep from an awake state, it might also be able to wake up your baby from its in utero nap. Coughing and laughing can jostle your baby awake, which can increase your odds of the baby changing positions. It can also help to engage in conversation with the ultrasound technician; however, you don't want to distract them as they are in the midst of important aspects of the ultrasound examination, so ask for permission prior to engaging them in conversation. The ultrasound tech can use the probe to gently shake your baby and try to get the baby to move to a better position. You can also try using your own hands to jiggle or poke at your baby gently.

TL;DR in English: Drink apple or orange juice about 30 minutes before your appointment. Walk around before your ultrasound appointment. Cough or laugh during your ultrasound appointment. Poke the baby gently.

No matter how much your customers may like you, you won't be able to establish loyalty if you provide them with an inferior product or service.  Use high-quality ingredients or parts and production that is not rushed or shoddy. Don't let your employees take short-cuts that would result in short-changing your customers. While many consumers report that they're willing to pay more for superior customer service, quite a lot of them expect stellar service regardless of price.   Lots of consumers are strapped for cash, and can't afford to pay more even if you're willing to go above and beyond. This means there's a limit to how high you can set prices even if you excel at customer service. Try to balance your profit margin with the limits of your customer's budgets. Keep current with price fluctuations across your industry, and pay attention to your main competitors.  For example, if you run a local flower shop, investigate prices at other brick-and-mortar stores in your town. See whether any online florists deliver in your area and if you can compete with their prices. If your employees are dejected or demoralized, customers will notice and may be less inclined to give you repeat business.   If your employees respect you and enjoy working for you, they will be more dedicated to providing good customer service.   Promote a "trickle down" effect, where happy employees make happy customers.

TL;DR in English: Make your product or service as perfect as possible. Set reasonable prices. Research price trends in your industry. Make your business a good place to work.

Separation anxiety can take various forms in a dog, but the most common signs of separation anxiety are destroying the house/apartment and barking incessantly. These behaviors are typically only engaged in when the dog's owner is at work or otherwise out of the house, and if the dog is not destructive, some owners may not even be aware that their dogs have separation anxiety. Common signs of separation anxiety to look out for include:  following you from room to room, no matter how briefly you are gone  shaking, panting, or crying when you get ready to leave for the day  urinating or defecating indoors while you're not home  chewing household objects when you're not home  scratching or "digging" at the floor, walls, or doors when left alone  possible complaints from neighbors about barking or howling when left at home alone Counterconditioning is a common treatment method for dogs that typically involves training the dog to associate something fearful with a reward. In the case of separation anxiety, instead of fearing someone or something, the dog fears being left alone. To counter condition  separation anxiety, you'll need to train your dog to associate being left alone with something the dog enjoys (like treats).  Whenever you leave the house, try giving your dog a puzzle toy stuffed with food. Something hollow that can be stuffed with treats, spray cheese, or low-fat peanut butter will keep your dog occupied for at least 20 to 30 minutes, which may be long enough for her to forget that she was afraid of you leaving.  When you get home, remove or hide the puzzle toy(s) so that your dog becomes conditioned to only having access when you're out of the house.  Be aware that counterconditioning typically only works for mild cases of separation anxiety. Though puzzle toys will certainly be enjoyed by your dog no matter how severe her condition, you may need to resort to stronger approaches if your dog suffers from moderate to severe anxiety. If your dog has moderate to severe separation anxiety, she most likely...

TL;DR in English:


Don’t make a request if your parents are in a bad mood or are busy with something else. You want their full attention so that they hear you out and perhaps become convinced that what you want is a good idea. Wait until your parents appear relaxed and at ease to make your request. For example, don't make a request when your parents appear exhausted after a long day or more snappy than usual. Notice how you talk to your parents. Do you ask nicely for things or do you make demands? Get in the habit of asking and not telling or demanding. If you tend to demand things, your parents will likely say no. if you ask, they will feel like they have a choice and may be more likely to say yes. For example, instead of saying, “I want to go to that party” or, “Give me that popsicle,” say, “Can I please go to the party?” and, “Can I please have that popsicle?” Maybe your parents said no to something but you’re willing to put in some effort to change their no to a yes. Negotiate with your parents and find a way to sweeten the deal for them. For example, if you want an item, ask them for it as an early birthday present. Or, offer to do some extra chores for a month as an exchange for something you want to do with friends. When negotiating, make sure your parents know what you’re willing to give up or do extra. You want the deal to appeal to them. You should always treat your parents with respect, and it’s especially important to do so if you’re making a request. Say what you want with a smile and be kind and well-mannered. Say your words nicely and treat your parents kindly. For example, say, “Please” and “Thank you.” It may be unrealistic to make huge requests of your parents. For example, if you want them to buy you a phone or a car or a guitar, they may not be able to make these kinds of purchases. If your goal is to get your parents to say yes, make smaller requests. For example, ask your parents to let you go to a friend’s house when they know your friend’s parents. To make smaller requests,  ask your parents for ice...

TL;DR in English: Choose a good time to make a request. Make requests, not demands. Negotiate to get what you want. Be polite and use good manners when making requests. Make realistic requests.

Elevating the head of the bed by six to nine inches (15 to 23 cm) is recommended for both sleep apnea and acid reflux. You should still be comfortable enough to get a full night’s sleep, so try starting at a lower elevation instead of going straight to nine inch risers. Basic bed risers cost about half as much as specially designed products. However, they don’t have foam that molds to the angle of the feet that results from elevating one end of the bed. If you do go with a basic product, it should still have wells or recesses so the bed feet don’t slip over the edge.Avoid lightweight plastic products, as they’re not as safe as thick, heavy duty plastic, solid wood, or metal options. Cinder blocks, stacks of wood, or even thick books are your cheapest option. While inexpensive, these options aren’t as safe as store-bought bed risers, and many people don’t like how they look. In addition, it might be more difficult to ensure you’re raising the feet to the same height.  Choose the widest blocks possible to reduce the risk of the feet slipping. You can also place non-slip pads, such as those you'd use to keep a rug from moving, under and on top of the blocks to reduce the risk of slipping. One pro is that you can start from a low height and gradually stack more books or blocks until you reach six to nine inches. That way, you can get used to the elevation without having to purchase multiple sets of bed risers.

TL;DR in English: Raise your bed at least six inches (15 cm). Use wood, metal, or heavy duty plastic risers with wells. Go with cement or wood blocks for the most affordable option.

Your finger will likely swell no matter how hard you hit it. This is the most common response to such trauma. If the hit wasn't too forceful, your finger may just swell for a couple of days. If the only symptom you see is swelling, place an ice pack on your finger to help relieve the swelling and pain.  You can take over-the-counter pain medication to help relieve the pain as well. An NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB) or naproxen sodium (Aleve) can help relieve the inflammation and pain. Take as directed on the packaging.  You don't need to see a doctor unless the swelling won't go down, you develop serious pain or numbness, or you can't move your finger all the way in or all the way out. If the swelling is really bad and you are in extreme pain, you may have fractured your finger, especially if you hit your finger quite hard. If your finger looks contorted and is extremely sensitive to the touch, you likely fractured your finger. This may be accompanied by bleeding skin or a smashed fingernail. If you think you have a fracture, seek medical attention. You need an X-ray and the doctor may give you a finger splint or some other form of treatment. Do not put a splint on your finger unless a doctor tell you to do so. If your finger is bleeding after you hit it, you need to clean the wound so you can assess the damage. If there is visible bleeding, cleanse the wound with running warm water. Run the warm water over the wound with the run-off going down the drain, not back into the wound. Then, using a gauze pad, cleanse the entire wound surface with Betadine or other cleansing solutions.  Put pressure on your wound for a few minutes to slow the flow of blood, which will help you assess how deep the wound is and if you need to see a doctor. If there is excessive bleeding or squirting blood, seek medical attention immediately. Once you've cleaned the wound, you need to evaluate the finger for any lacerations, or cuts. The wound still may bleed a little while you check,...

TL;DR in English: Check for swelling. Respond to a fracture. Clean the wound. Assess the lacerations. Look for tendon injury. Evaluate the fingernail.

Don't try to hide your curves with items like trapeze dresses or shifts. Instead, go for form-fitting clothes that highlight your natural curves rather than hiding them. Focus on the areas you want to flaunt! Choose an outfit with a fitted waist, for instance. Pick something you feel good in! While you don't want to hide your curves, adding too many embellishments can make you look off-balance. Instead, go for simple cuts without too many ruffles or puffs. For instance, large ruffles at your shoulders can make you look top-heavy, while a gathered skirt can make you look bottom-heavy. A v-neck helps draw the focus to your face. If you've created an elongating effect elsewhere, this helps pull the look together, as anyone who sees you will be focusing on your smiling face. For instance, try a v-neck sweater paired with an a-line skirt and knee-high boots. Pick small hand bags or petite shoulder bags. These bags are more proportional to the size of your body, so they enhance your look rather than detracting from it. Large shoulder bags add width to your body, drawing attention to your petite size. Plus, they add visual bulkiness to your hips and shoulders. Choosing a look in 1 color can help create a streamlined effect. If you're a bit afraid of going all 1 color, start with black, grey, or navy, which are naturally flattering. Make your outfit a bit more interesting by choosing different textures for the items in your outfit. For instance, try a black wool sweater with a leather skirt.

TL;DR in English: Pick clothes that follow your natural curves. Skip embellishments that overemphasize your curves. Pick a v-neck or scoop neck to draw the eye upward. Opt for smaller bags to keep your look proportional. Try single-color looks.

Tell your spectator that you're going to switch the card she’s holding right now magically with the card they selected initially.  Go hunting around the deck as if you were looking for their card, all the while knowing your spectator already has it. Settle on the card that's already on top of the deck which your spectator thinks is in between her hands.

TL;DR in English:


A stable, relatively heavy stand that won't move much on launch will get you the farthest distance. Here's one easy way to make one if you don't need your matchbox anymore:  Empty your matchbox and fill one half with pebbles or other dense objects. Punch a hole in the lid of the matchbox, near one end Stick the paper clip currently in the rocket into this hole. Slide the lid until you get the desired launch angle. If the paper clip falls over, tape it onto the matchbox base or weight it down. If the foil is wrapped too tightly around the paper clip, the rocket might cling and fail to launch. Rotate the rocket and wiggle it slightly until you're satisfied it's slightly loose. If this is very tight, the rocket could explode. The smoking rocket tip will be hot enough to leave scorch marks on carpet and furniture. Find a concrete surface outdoors with at least 40 feet (12m) of space. Keep the rocket pointed away from people, animals, or another person's property. The rocket tip will keep smoldering for some time, and could cause a fire if it lands in brush. Always pick it up after launch, but wear gloves. It will be hot enough to burn skin.

TL;DR in English: Make a stable stand. Loosen the rocket around the paper clip. Move to an outdoor location. Retrieve the smoldering rocket with gloves.

You are much more likely to commit to reading when it is an enjoyable and engaging experience. If you are bored while reading, you are more likely to put the book down and engage in a different activity.  Find books related to your hobbies, career goals, or a topic that piques your curiosity. There are books that cover every topic imaginable, and the availability of local libraries, bookstores, and the Internet means that all of them are at your fingertips. Don't limit yourself to just monographs. Comic books and graphic novels are a great way to get children and young adults hooked on reading. Collections of short stories are a good option for those who don't want to commit to reading a longer work. Read magazines that cover your areas of interest. Whether your interests are in motorcycle maintenance, gardening, bird watching, or 19th-century architecture, there is a magazine that caters to you. Many of these contain lengthy, well-sourced articles. The more you associate reading with comfort and relaxation the more likely you are to continue developing your reading skills. Reading can become a treat, rather than a chore.  Find a quiet place to read so that you aren’t disturbed. Avoid distractions like TV or the radio, or other people prone to disturbing you. Make sure it is somewhere with good lighting where you can relax. Hold the book about 15 inches away from your face (approximately the distance from your elbow to your wrist). Make a cozy and fun reading area. A nicely lit corner with comfortable pillows creates a great ambiance for reading. If you are helping someone read, stay positive! Negative feedback will only discourage a fledgling reader, so keep the environment upbeat. Reading doesn't have to be a solitary pursuit, and can be even more enjoyable when shared with others.  Start a book club with friends. Making reading a social experience can inspire you to continue to improve. Friends can also provide encouragement for each other. Start an online blog reviewing the latest books you have read....

TL;DR in English: Read materials that interest you. Create a pleasant reading environment. Make reading a social experience. Make reading a family affair.

Hormonal therapy works by interrupting the signals in your hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal circuit, which links your brain to your ovaries. By interrupting this circuit, the therapy can be used to stop ovulation and stabilize your hormonal ups and downs. This will allow your menstrual cycle to get back on track. Oral contraceptives regulate and stabilize reproductive hormones. Commonly prescribed oral contraceptives, such as those that work well in relieving PMDD symptoms, are pills with combinations of ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone.  Studies have shown that these types of pills offer relief for the physical and psychological symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and also regulate the menstrual cycle.  Oral contraceptives are composed of a set of pills that should be taken for the whole month. There are two types of pills found in each set: the pills that contain the hormones and the placebo pills that should be taken during the days of your period. Oral contraceptives come in packets of 21, 28 or 91 tablets. These tablets should be taken by mouth. Take your oral contraceptives at the same time every day.  Be sure to follow your doctor’s specific instructions about when and how to take them.  If one type of oral contraceptive does not make your cycle regular, talk to your doctor about trying another brand of oral contraceptive. There are a number of types, and brands, of oral contraceptives. Some are triphasic pills — which include both progestin and estrogen in varying levels — while others are monophasic which are pills that have the same amount of hormone dose in each pill. In addition, there are mini-pills that are progesterone only. All oral contraceptives are not created equal. Some have estrogen while others have progesterone. These two hormones may affect your body differently. Talk to your doctor to find which one is right for you. Birth control pills are not your only option to treat irregular menses with hormones. You can also use a vaginal ring, birth control patch, Depo-Provera,...

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor about hormonal therapy. Talk to your doctor about getting a prescription for oral contraceptives. Pick your pack of contraceptives. Know all your options for hormonal birth control.

Ask fellow athletes if they would recommend their agent. You can also ask other sports professionals, such as trainers or coaches. Write down the agents’ names so that you can perform background research on them. The website www.sports-agent-directory.com hosts a comprehensive listing of sports agents. You can search for agents and get their direct contact information, including email or a website address (if available).  This directory has only agents certified with the major sports leagues in the United States (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and the PGA). You have to pay to join. However, the cost is less than $100. You should call or send a quick email. Tell the agent how you got his name. For example, another athlete might have told you. Explain that you are looking to hire a new agent and ask the agent if he has time to meet with you.  Not every agent will be willing to represent you. Some agents might only represent super-stars. However, even if an agent isn’t interested in representing you, he could send you the name of an agent who might. You don’t want to hire an agent blindly. If an agent is interested in representing you, then you should prepare to do a basic background check. You should request the following:  References. The agent should be able to give you the names of current clients you could talk to. Once you have the names, you should call and talk to the referrals. A list of successful contracts. The agent should be willing to give you a list of contracts he has negotiated and a general sense of the terms of the contracts (duration, salary, bonuses). You want to check that the agent is a good fit. After performing a basic background check, you should call up agents and ask if you could meet. This will basically be an interview, though you don’t have to use the word.  If you had a particular problem with the agent, make sure to mention it when you interview the agent. For example, your old agent might not have ever returned your emails or phone calls. Be sure to ask any agent you interview how he...

TL;DR in English: Get referrals from other athletes. Search the Sports Agent Directory. Contact the agent. Perform a background check. Meet with the agent. Show the representation agreement to your lawyer.

You wouldn’t show up to a job interview wearing slippers and pajamas so don’t practice fighting when you’re not prepared. Putting on your gym shorts and tightly lacing your running shoes will help you get in the mood. It also ensures proper movement when practicing. Make sure you don’t have a heavy meal or an empty stomach before practice, either. Have a healthy light snack beforehand to ensure you can be held over till you post-workout snack, without being lethargic from your cheeseburger and fries. Don’t forget to stay hydrated, either.
