If the school dance calls for formal wear, opt for a dress, formal skirt and top, or dress pants and nice blouse. Choose a full-length gown for an extra-formal look, or a knee-length dress or skirt for something more semi-formal. If you’re going to the dance with a date, coordinate with them first to see if part of their outfit can match yours. If you go with a boy, their shirt, tie, or vest/cumberbund could match your dress, top, or accessories. Pick a pair of heels or flats that are comfortable enough for dancing and being on your feet for several hours. Try matching your shoes to your dress or accessories, or pick gold or silver shoes to match the type of metal of your jewelry. Pay attention to dress code guidelines for shoes. There could be a restriction on the height of high heels. Choose accessories to complement your outfit. Pick a nice purse or clutch in the same color as your outfit or shoes, or in the same neutral silver or gold as your jewelry. Keep jewelry simple and classy by sticking to just a few pieces. If you wear big dangly earrings, stick to a simple necklace or bracelet. Or if you have an armful of bangles, choose a less flashy necklace and earrings.  For a prom or other very formal dance, you can follow the tradition of wearing a corsage that complements your outfit and guy’s boutonniere. You can tell your date what color to buy you, or you can just buy or make your own! Wear the corsage either on your wrist or pinned to the front of your dress near the shoulder.  Accessories are a great way to follow the color or theme of a dance. Pick a bright red purse or pair of shoes for a Valentine’s dance, stick a flower in your hair for a Spring dance, or buy a sparkly eye mask for a masquerade theme. If you want to, you can wear makeup to bring out the natural beauty of your face. Choose a concealer or foundation that matches your skin tone, and add a little blush or bronzer to your cheeks if you like. Sweep mascara onto your eyelashes and add eyeliner to your upper eyelids. If you go with bolder...

TL;DR in English: Choose a dress, skirt, or dress pants. Pick out heels or flats. Add a purse and jewelry. Apply tasteful makeup if you wish. Get hair and nails done.

Draw a straight, horizontal line across the middle of your piece of paper. This will be the horizon line, the line where the sea meets the sky. You can use a ruler to help you draw a straight line. Below the horizon line, but not quite at the bottom of your paper, draw a wavy line across your whole page. This will mark the tide-line, where the water reaches the sand. Make the curves of the line different sizes to make the waterline look more realistic. Your scene will have the beach in the bottom part of your page, then the water, and then the sky. Make it clear that the ocean is water by adding little squiggles to look like waves. Don’t worry too much about making it look perfect. You are just at the pencil stage, and can fix it up later with colors. To draw a cloud, sketch short, connected curved lines. You can make the clouds as big or small as you want, and can also add swirls in the middle of the cloud for a more realistic effect. If you want your beach scene to be perfectly sunny, with no clouds, then feel free to skip them! If you want your beach scene to take place at sunrise or sunset, then draw the sun as half a circle, sticking out of your horizon line, in the middle of the page. If you want your beach scene to take place in the middle of the day, then draw the sun as a full circle floating in the sky. If your scene is at night, add a moon by either drawing a circle or a crescent.  Don’t worry if the circle isn’t perfect! Most of the time people don’t look directly at the sun, so they don’t really see a perfect circle. If you want, you can give your sun a friendly smiley face.

TL;DR in English: Draw a horizon line in pencil. Add a wavy line for the edge of the water. Draw little squiggles in the water to look like waves. Draw clouds in the sky. Draw a sun or a moon.

The electrolyte method for cleaning silver uses a basic chemical reaction with baking soda, salt, water, and aluminum foil to clean and polish sterling silver. This method isn’t suitable for silver pieces that have porous stones or gems, such as pearls, shells, or turquoise, or for antiques (such as candlesticks) or jewelry that are affixed with glue. For this method, you will need:  2 tablespoons (30 g) each of salt and baking soda 2 tablespoons (30 ml) liquid dish soap (optional) 2 cups (480 ml) boiling water A baking dish (or bowl) large enough to fit the pieces you wish to clean Aluminum foil to line the baking dish The silver pieces you want to clean. Line the dish with the aluminum foil. Make sure the shiny side of the foil is facing up. Then place your sterling silverware into the baking dish. Pour the salt, baking soda, and dish soap over top of the silver pieces, and then pour the boiling water on top. Stir the solution to help dissolve the salt and baking soda. Make sure all the silver pieces are touching the foil, as the tarnish from the silver will transfer to the foil. Let the silverware sit in the solution for five to 10 minutes. Don’t be alarmed if it smells like rotten eggs: this is just the sulfur on the silver. To help the process along, use your fingers to gently rub and move the silver around in the solution. Remove the silver from the solution and rinse it under warm water. Gently buff the pieces with a soft cloth to dry and polish the silver.  Because silver is so soft, it can scratch easily. Be sure to use a soft and non-abrasive cloth to polish, such as microfiber or lint-free flannel.  Always polish and buff silver in the direction of the metal’s grain, and never in a circular motion.

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Prepare the baking dish. Add the cleaning agents. Wait for the reaction to occur. Rinse and buff the silverware.

Assemble all your supplies for this science experiment before you start. Have the following on hand:  1 US gal (3.8 L) glass jar Matches Rubber glove Rubber band Flashlight or lamp Food coloring Water Use just enough water to cover the bottom of the jar. You only want to use a small amount of water so that the water can evaporate.  Swirl the water around inside the jar so that it covers the sides. Use oven mitts, since the boiling water will make the jar very hot. Have the fingers of the glove pointing downward into the jar. This will seal in the air into the jar. Once your hand is in the glove, move it upward so that you pull the fingers of the glove up. You’ll notice that nothing happens to the water in the jar. Take the glove off the jar for just a moment. Light a match (or have an adult light it for you) and drop it in the jar. Stretch the glove back over the jar, with the fingers pointing down into the jar. The water at the bottom of the jar will put out the match, and smoke will form in the jar. Slide your hand into the glove and pull it outward again. This time, a cloud will form in the jar. When you put your hand back inside the jar, the cloud will disappear. This will last for 5-10 minutes, and then the particles will settle into the bottom of the jar. When you shine a light on the jar, you will be able to see the clouds better. The air is full of warm water vapor molecules inside the jar. The air is compressed by the glove because the glove takes up some of the space inside the jar. Pulling the glove fingers out of the jar releases some space in the jar and allows the air to expand. The air inside the jar cools because pressure and temperature have a proportional relationship when pressure and temperature drops. The smoke from the match acts as a vehicle that the water molecules can attach to. They stick to the smoke particles, condensing into cloud droplets. When the glove fingers go back into the jar, the air inside the jar warms up again and the cloud disappears. Add a few drops of food coloring...

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Pour boiling water into the jar. Put the rubber glove wrist around the mouth of the jar. Try putting your hand in the glove. Light a match and drop it in the jar. Put your hand in the glove again. Shine a flashlight on the jar. Understand how this works. Try the experiment again with colored clouds.

TL;DR in English:


Buy a rifle for hunting small game and target shooting. Select a caliber based on your needs Select an appropriate loading action for your purposes. Consider investing in a scope

Trying to control everything will most likely just ruin the moment. Just try to relax and let it happen.  You might find that the moment just doesn’t feel right. Do your best to feel out the moment and let it build up, rather than go in with a “now or never” mindset. It might be better to try another time, especially if it’s your (or her) first kiss, rather than go in and knock each other’s teeth, bump heads, or get turned down. Gently move your face closer to hers. If you know the words to the song and can carry a tune, try gently singing along to the song to her. Do your best to be just loud enough for her to hear without ruining the moment by shouting in her ear.  If you don’t know the words or aren’t comfortable singing to her, just tell her something sweet. Try saying “You are absolutely beautiful," or "You know, this dress is so gorgeous on you." As you sing or whisper a compliment, hold her close to you. Gently put your arms around her and caress her to build up the moment.  Make sure she’s comfortable, and give her space if she’s stiff or pulls away from you. Try to make this a gradual movement instead of a quick jerk. Gently tilt your head, brush your noses together, and rest your forehead against hers. Look into her eyes for two or three seconds, but try not to just give a blank stare. You should be genuine and look at her deeply - make sure you mean it!  After two or three seconds, slowly start closing your eyes. When you actually move in to kiss her, there’s nothing creepier than having your eyes open.  If she doesn't want to kiss you, she'll let you know at this stage by moving her face away from yours or trying to back away. Give her space and just dance until the song is finished, then thank her for dancing with you.

TL;DR in English: Go with the flow. Move in closer and whisper something sweet. Move your face back and look into her eyes.

If your employer refuses to recognize a union, then the only other option is to be certified through an NLRB election. You will start the process by getting the RC Petition, Form NLRB-502 and the Certificate of Service, Form NLRB-5544.  Complete the Petition and the Certificate of Service. You can complete these PDF forms online and then save or print them off. The NLRB prefers that you submit documents electronically. You will complete the forms in PDF and then upload them at this website. You must give your employer a copy of the RC petition, as well as a blank Statement of Petition Form, NLRB-505, and a copy of the Description of Procedures in Certification and Decertification Cases, NLRB-4812.  Print them off and either hand deliver or mail. Do not share with your employer the cards that were signed. Submit the completed RC petition and the Certificate of Service to the NLRB. Also send in your “showing of interest,” which means the checked cards.  All documents may be mailed to the regional NLRB office where the employer is located. To find the correct office, visit here and click on the map. You shouldn’t have to wait more than 5-8 weeks after notifying the NLRB to hear back from them. If the National Labor Relations Board holds an election, then management will likely intensify its campaign to keep a union out of the workplace. You should anticipate, and formulate rebuttals to, the following arguments:  A union will force the employer to lay off workers. Union dues will be extremely high. The employer deserves another chance to improve the working conditions without a union present. The NLRB will run an election. If a majority of workers who vote in the election select the union, then management must recognize the union.  Your employer must post information about the election in conspicuous places around the workplace.  If you believe that your employer at any time has tried to influence the vote by threatening discipline or demotion, or has promised promotions or raises, then you should notify the...

TL;DR in English: Get National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) forms. Serve notice on the employer. Submit documents to the NLRB. Anticipate your employer's campaign. Participate in the election.

How much water you use will depend on the size of the pot. Use enough water to fill the pot 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) from the rim. You will be boiling the water shortly, so the temperature does not matter. The pot needs to be large enough for the fabric to be able to move around freely. For best results, use something made from white cotton or linen.  It would be a good idea to wash and dry the fabric beforehand. This will remove any chemicals that might prevent the dye from adhering. Natural dye does not stick well to synthetics, so use natural fibers, such as cotton or linen. You can use this method to dye articles of clothing as well, as long as they are made from white cotton or linen. Fill the pot about a quarter of the way with vinegar first. Push the fabric into the vinegar to ensure that it's soaked through, then fill the remaining three-quarters of the pot with water.  You are only doing this for the pot that has the fabric in it. Don't add anything to the pot with the beets in it. The vinegar will act as a fixative and help the dye adhere better to the fabric. Alternatively, use 1/2 cup (150 g) of salt for every 8 cups (1.9 L) of water.

TL;DR in English: Place the beets into a pot, then fill the pot with water. Place white cotton or linen fabric into a separate pot. Fill the clothing pot with a 1-to-4 ratio of vinegar-to-water.

Don't beat yourself up if you think you messed up or said the wrong thing. This will only make you continue to feel shy and lack confidence the next time you try to engage with guys. Instead of thinking things like, “That was stupid,” or “I’m terrible at this,” think of how to do better next time. If you find yourself rehashing the scene over and over, get out of your own head by talking to friends, reading a good book, or doing something else that makes you feel good.  Instead of thinking negatively, remind yourself, "It's okay to say the wrong thing," or "I don't need to impress anyone." When you're thinking of how to do better next time, practice what to say in the mirror, or role play with friends. The guy you are talking to may be just as shy as you are. Part of building confidence is learning to understand that it’s okay to not know everything, to not always say the right thing.  Doing or saying the wrong thing is a great learning experience. Most people learn more from the things they get wrong than those they get right. Look at “failure” when talking to guys as a chance to learn how to do better next time. Remember, it’s okay to say or do the wrong thing. If you accidentally offend a guy you’re talking to, say something like, “I’m so sorry. I get nervous and say the wrong thing sometimes.” Most people will completely understand this. You might have heard the saying, “If you fall off the horse, you should get right back on.” This is very apt, when it comes to building confidence. If you say the wrong thing and the guy doesn’t want to talk to you, that’s okay. Try again some other time. Talk to guys who may need your help. If you notice a guy who’s struggling in math class, offer to help him with his homework. Talking about something you excel at makes you feel more confident, and it takes some of the pressure and stress out of situations where you may feel shy. Repetition is one of the best ways to develop a skill. The more you do it, the easier it is, so one of the best ways to feel less shy is to...

TL;DR in English: Avoid negative thinking. Allow yourself to be imperfect. Emphasize your strengths. Talk to new people often. Set confidence-building goals for yourself.

Rifles, sometimes called "long guns," are most commonly used for hunting purposes and sport shooting, and make excellent guns for beginners. Rifles are the most accurate style of gun, due to the "rifling" spiral of the barrel, which is long enough to result in very accurate shots. Modern rifles are accurate and effective for very long distances, depending on the style of rifle and the caliber of the ammunition used. Whatever your reasoning for wanting a gun, a rifle is a smart purchase. . The caliber of a rifle refers to the size of the diameter of the barrel, and the corresponding ammunition used in the gun. While there will be a variety of different ammunition styles within a given caliber, the caliber itself will tell you much about the shooting power of the gun. Most rifles owned by are either .22 or .30 caliber. .22 is the most common caliber of rifle sold for beginners. It's a relatively small caliber, with low recoil and high accuracy, but still powerful enough to use for hunting small game. If you want to hunt deer or larger game, a larger caliber (.30) is more appropriate for the gun to be humane and effective. The style of rifles varies mostly in regard to how the rifle is loaded and how ammunition is advanced into the chamber to be fired. Partly aesthetic and partly practical, the choice is ultimately up to you. There's no "correct" choice.  Bolt-action rifles require you to retract a side-mounted bolt to eject each spent cartridge, and then advance a new cartridge into the chamber by racking it back forward. Semi-automatic rifles use the force of each shot to expel the spent shell and advance a fresh shell into the chamber without the need of doing anything manually. Each time you pull the trigger, the gun should fire until the magazine is empty. Hybrid models, repeating rifles, lever action rifles, and many other varieties are also available, if slightly less common than the standard bolt-action and semi-auto. Shop around and try out more obscure guns to suit your purposes. . A rifle is only as...

You may need to open an additional compartment labeled "Customer Access" as well. Inside, you will notice modular plugs and two screws. The plugs look just like the phone jack that you plug your phone into inside of your house.  There will be a line plugged into each modular plug for each phone company line that runs to your house. The pair of screw posts will contain one red screw and one green screw. These posts are where your new wiring will connect to the phone company wiring. Before you begin your wiring project, you'll need to unplug the phone company line that is plugged into the jack inside the box. This is just a safety precaution, as it will disconnect the power flowing from the phone company line. This line must be plugged back in once you've completed the wiring. if necessary. If you don't have a telephone jack and cable installed in your house, follow the steps in the linked article. This will allow you to install your telephone jack along with the cable that you'll use to connect to the Network Interface Device box.  If you already have a telephone jack in your house, skip this step. If you have a telephone jack but no cable, follow the linked article's steps to connect one end of a telephone cable to the telephone jack. This part is entirely up to you; some landline users opt to run the wires through the walls, while others choose to run the wire out through the attic or the foundation and then along the side of the house. You'll use the colored screw sections in the Network Interface Box to do this:  Clip the end of the phone cable off. Strip an inch off of the end of each of the colored wires.

Tasteful pins are a good non-permanent addition to your jacket or sweater. Adding new buttons to your jackets and shirts is a small but individual touch. Adding colorful ribbon to the edges of your clothing (or the top of your socks) is also a small but effective way to alter your uniform. Iron-on patches are great, but only if they are allowed. If you are not sure about permanently affixing something to your uniform, use safety pins and pin the patches on. This is probably the easiest way to change up a boring look. Adding things like hair clips, clip in extensions, jewelry, makeup, nail polish, and socks can change the whole look of an outfit. Make some out of bright duct tape, find beads, search through your house or art class for anything that's cool. This is where you can go crazy, if your school allows additions. A bright pink trench coat? Why not! Bright blue leggings? Go for it! If you don't have shoes that you are assigned, choose shoes that really show off who you are. Preppy folks can wear moccasins or Mary Jane shoes, punky/emo students look great in converse high tops or plaid slip-ons. Backpacks are another great way to show off your personal style.  Sew labels, logos or patches onto the bag to improve a standard school bag.

Friday afternoon, when you're excited about the weekend, is the perfect time to take care of all the annoying little work tasks that will otherwise await you on Monday. Get yourself organized so that you can enjoy the weekend instead of worrying about the work week to come. Don't let unanswered emails hang over your head. Spend the last part of your day on Friday answering all your emails and cleaning out your inbox so that you can start fresh on Monday. And don't leave your office a mess, either. A neat, organized workspace is a place you will be happier to return to after the weekend.  Be sure to acknowledge receipt of emails. A simple "Thanks" or "Got it" is usually all it takes. It let's the sender know that they don't need to do anything else and can check this task off their list. If you do it, those you correspond with will, too. If you don't have time to get to all your emails, mark as "unread" the important ones. This will remove the worry that they will get lost in the clutter by making them easy to locate and respond to. Leaving work with a sense of accomplishment – instead of focusing on what you still have to do – can make a huge difference in your sense of well-being. Review the goals you set for the week and cross off those that you have accomplished. If there is something you didn't accomplish this week, writing out a to-do list detailing how and when you will take care of it next week is a great way to get it off your mind. You should also make a list of 3 to 5 new goals you want to accomplish at work in the week to come, and a to-do list indicating how they will be accomplished. If you haven't already, use Friday afternoon to make plans for the weekend. And make plans for the following week, as well. It's especially helpful to plan something for Monday.

A number of accessible venues offer parking for pay-per-tune song vending. The biggest and most recognized is iTunes, but with research, beginning musicians may be able to find smaller online music vendors such as ADED.US Music Distribution, SongCast, Getonic, Tunecore, CD Baby and more.  Many of these vendors offer different terms, perks, benefits, etc. Make sure you shop around before deciding on which venue to use for your music. Make sure you are eligible for the service. You may not be able to sign up in India for a service that only works in the United States, for example. Many major digital retailers such as iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and Google Play do not usually do direct deals with independent artists. So, in order to sell you music on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Google Play, etc., you will need to establish a digital music distribution deal with a digital music company that specializes in distributing music for indie musicians. These music distribution companies are referred to as aggregators. Essentially, these are music distribution companies that have direct contracts with the various digital retail stores for music. Most of the online sites offer equitable deals, but be sure to read all details of an agreement to make sure you like the terms.  Keep an eye on things like royalty collection, which will detail how much money the company will pay you for selling your music. For example, a site like CD Baby takes $4 for each CD or record, and 9% of all digital music sales. There are sometimes premium and free versions of a service, and they could offer different rates. ADED.US Music Distribution offers 12 distribution credits whereas most music distributors distribute one project for one fee. CD Baby has a premium service, described above, as well as a free service, which keeps 15% of your download revenues. If you're not making a lot of money, it might be best to stick with a free account like this one.

One thing you will notice right away when traveling in Italy is the sun is very piercing and seems very close.  It’s important that you wear sunglasses. This is even truer in the South of Italy and in the summer months, where you will find it very bright during the day. During the spring and summer, you should also pack sunscreen to protect your skin, especially if you burn easily. A straw hat with a brim is a great way to protect your skin and eyes and also look chic to Italians, whether you’re dressed for a formal or informal occasion. You may need these items when dressing at night, when it can get colder and also when dining in a nice restaurant. Men should pack a nicely tailored jacket.  A great look in Italy would be a white shirt, black or navy blue blazer, and skinny black pants with nice shoes and a silk scarf. And sunglasses.  A light trench coat is often a perfect choice for unexpected weather changes. In the winter, you’ll need a warmer coat in the north, such as a padded winter coat, and you will probably need warm gloves, a scarf and a hat. A down jacket or vest may mark you as a tourist. A pair of leather boots can also be elegant looking and keep your feet warm during colder months. They’re also comfortable to walk in. These two items will go a long way to getting rid of the tourist feel and upping your elegance and class appeal.  Accessorize the look. One item you can’t go wrong with in Italy is a silk scarf. Italians often wear jewelry. and Italian women usually wear natural-looking makeup, but don’t wear anything too obvious if safety is a concern. Take along a great handbag and an umbrella! Remember that Italians value clothing with elegant fabrics and clean lines, so avoid the messy patterns.  Men could carry a messenger bag. This is sometimes called a “man purse” in America or a briefcase. Women groom their nails and eyebrows.

TL;DR in English: Wear sunglasses. Bring a jacket or sweater. Wear a scarf and carry a great handbag.

Preheat your oven to 365 F (185 C). When it’s hot, put in the cupcakes and bake them for 20 minutes. After that time, remove the cakes from the oven with an oven mitt to see if they're ready. To tell if the cupcakes are done, you can:  Stick a toothpick into the center of a cupcake. It’s ready if the toothpick comes out clean. Press gently against a cupcake with your finger. It’s ready if the cake bounces back when pressed. Transfer the baked cupcakes to a wire cooling rack. Let them cool to room temperature before serving or frosting. It’s important to let the cupcakes cool before you add frosting, otherwise the frosting will melt off instead of sticking to the top of the cupcakes. Once the cupcakes are baked, they are ready to serve if you don’t want to add frosting. Divide the frosting into three separate bowls. Add a few drops of a different food coloring or edible gel paste to each bowl and stir to combine. Add a few more drops of the coloring as necessary to achieve the desired intensity.  When the frosting is ready, transfer it to the fridge and let it chill for 30 minutes. This will make it easier to work with and prevent it from melting on the cupcakes.  You can use any colors you like for the frosting. For instance, you can choose the same colors as you used for the cupcakes, or you can use complementary or clashing colors. As with the batter, you can use as many or as few colors as you like for the frosting. Just be sure to use separate bowls and spoons for each color. Fit a piping bag with your desired tip for frosting the cupcakes. Fill the bag with the frosting, using a spoon to position the frosting colors side by side in the bag. This way, the three colors will come out of the bag simultaneously, creating a tie-dye effect with the frosting as well. Alternatively, you can use a plastic freezer bag if you don’t have a piping bag. Fill one of the bottom corners of the bag with frosting the same way you would the piping bag. When you're ready to frost, cut a small hole in the bottom corner and...

TL;DR in English: Bake the cupcakes. Cool the cupcakes. Dye the frosting. Prepare a piping bag. Frost the cupcakes before serving. Finished.

Dried lavender, chamomile, and rose petals are great choices, but you can use others as well. You will need 1 to 2 ounces (6 to 12 grams) per 1 pound (450 grams) of soap. Add the herbs or flowers into the mold, before adding the soap. This way, they won't lose their color as much.  You can also sprinkle the herbs or flowers onto the soap, after you have poured it into the mold, instead. Keep the application in mind. Herbal soaps work great as a hand soap, but they may be too scratchy for the tub or shower. Chop larger petals into smaller pieces so that they don't clog the drain. With just 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of ground spices, you can take your soap to a whole new level! Stir the spice into the soap after you take it off heat, along with any other colors or fragrances you might be using. Great choices include cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and ground tumeric. Consider limiting your fragrance or omitting it entirely. You will need them into the soap base as it is melting.  Do not use regular butter made from cow's milk, or it will go rancid. Instead, try one of the following butters: cocoa, shea, mango, or vegetable. You will need 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 grams) per 1 pound (450 grams) of soap.  Cocoa and shea butter are both great for adding a creamy lather to the soap. Mango butter is great for calming irritated skin, treating sunburn, and reducing dryness. Extracts are not the same thing as essential oils or fragrance oils. While some of them may add fragrance to your soap, they are mostly used for their specific properties. Plan on using 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) of extract per 1 pound (450 grams) of soap; add them alongside your dyes and fragrances. Listed below are common extracts and their benefits:  Chamomile extract is calming and good for relieving stress. It is also antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. Grapefruit seed extract is a natural disinfectant. It is filled with vitamins A, C, and E. Green tea extract can help sooth sunburns, irritations, and acne. Guava fruit extract...

TL;DR in English:


Wash your hands before handling sake. Layer muslin or tissue paper underneath the sake layer. Spray on fabric stabilizer. Use silk pins and pattern weights. Cut each pattern piece one at a time.

Hold the ochoko with two hands. Don't drink until everybody has a full ochoko. Drink the sake in small sips. Pair bold sake with rich foods. Pair fruity sake with spicy or fatty foods. Finish an open bottle of sake within a few hours.

A standard clothes hanger will be shaped like a triangle. It has two diagonal bars, and a horizontal bar at the bottom. The method works great for any type of pants, but the pants are more likely to slip off. If your pants keep sliding off, you can secure them with a clothespin. Simply clip a clothespin or two across the horizontal bar.

TL;DR in English: Get a standard clothes hanger. Place the hanger inside your closet.

This is essential for healthy lungs, your cardiovascular system, and your body as a whole, including your skin. Exercise helps your skin because it improves circulation, increases the flow of nutrients to the skin, and removes dirt from the skin’s surface. Furthermore, it may also slow the skin’s aging process. Be sure to rehydrate your body after a good workout. Stress can wreak havoc on your skin and body as well as your mind, and the hormones your body releases in response to stress can exacerbate things like acne, psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema. Furthermore, stress can increase healing time in your body, so breakouts will take longer to go away. Yoga and meditation can be beneficial for your skin because they are both stress-relieving activities. Smoking, like stress, has a negative impact on your health, skin, and appearance. Smoking decreases blood flow, which is necessary for healthy skin. It also damages collagen and elastin, while the physical motions associated with smoking lead to wrinkles around the mouth and eyes. Sleep is important for many reasons, and healthy skin is just one of them. For one, when we sleep, our bodies secrete certain growth hormones, and this leads to collagen production. IR saunas use infrared radiation to increase the amount of collagen your body produces and therefore reducing the amount of wrinkles you have. Some users have also noticed improved skin tone after repeated uses.Though research studies have proved that it is effective and safe, long-term exposure to infrared radiation has not been fully studied for treatments. Skin cancer is the abnormal growth of skin cells caused by DNA mutations, and the primary cause of these mutations is UV exposure. If you notice irregular changes in your skin or notice moles that weren't there before, talk to your doctor immediately. The most common signs to look for that indicate cancer or precancerous cells are:  Moles that have irregular borders or asymmetrical features, have more than one color, or change over time. Sores and lumps...

TL;DR in English: Exercise on a regular basis. Relax and unwind. Don’t smoke. Get enough sleep. Use an infrared (IR) sauna to reduce wrinkles and increase collagen. Keep an eye out for signs of skin cancer. Seek professional help for irregular skin issues.

It is important that your mixture gets to a boil, but try to raise the temperature slowly and carefully so that the paste doesn’t burn. Don’t step away from the stove, especially if this is your first time making body sugaring paste. It can be tricky to get it hot enough without it burning, so you need to be vigilant. It will be obvious if it starts burning, because it will turn a very dark, almost black color. Don’t turn the heat on and leave your pot unattended. Keep stirring it over and over again, making sure that it never sticks to the pot. As your mixture reaches a boil, it will begin to thin out. When you see it start to bubble it’s almost there, but make sure you allow it to get to a full-fledged boil. If you own a candy thermometer, use it here. Your mixture should reach 250 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the "hardball" candy stage. You can use a plate, a napkin, a piece of paper, or anything. This will allow you to examine the color. Your finished product should be a golden color. When your mixture has reached a boil and is that color, turn your heat off. Make sure you’re still stirring. Instead of the ingredients outlined previously, you will be using one cup of sugar, 1/4 a cup of honey, and juice from half of a lemon (about two tablespoons). Combine these ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and stir until everything is blended. Then, heat your mixture in the microwave for two minutes.  Don't go anywhere as it heats. You need to stir your mixture every 20 to 30 seconds. After two minutes are up, let it cool off a bit to use or store.

TL;DR in English: Put your stovetop on low. Stir the mixture continuously until it's boiling. Put a few droplets of the mixture on something white. Use a microwave if that's all you have.

When you are ready to start handling your fabric, wash your hands with soap and water. Dry them thoroughly. This will remove any residue or oils from your hands that could spot the fabric. This is especially important if you are hand-sewing the fabric. Having tissue paper, muslin, or even butcher paper will help keep the silk fabric from slipping when you cut it with your scissors. Tissue paper is especially useful because you can continue using it to stabilize your fabric, including when you pin and sew the fabric. You can also use a spray-on fabric stabilizer, which will stiffen the fabric somewhat and make it easier to manage while you cut it. This is available at fabric stores and online. Silk pins are extra fine pins that leave very tiny holes in silk fabric. These are useful for pinning patterns to fabric without noticeably marring the surface of the fabric. Pattern weights are used to hold fabric stationary on the cutting surface so that it doesn’t shift around when you are cutting. You can also use heavy objects such as canned food to hold down the fabric. With other types of fabric, you can usually cut same-shaped pattern pieces together, doubling up the fabric. With silk, however, it’s best to cut each pattern piece individually. Silk slips around too much, and cutting through two layers of fabric might cause errors in cutting out the pattern. For pattern pieces on a fold, redraw the piece as it would be folded out. This way, you won’t have to cut two layers of fabric at once.

TL;DR in English: Wash your hands before handling silk. Layer muslin or tissue paper underneath the silk layer. Spray on fabric stabilizer. Use silk pins and pattern weights. Cut each pattern piece one at a time.

Sake is often served in a small ceramic cup called an ochoko. Whenever you're holding the ochoko, hold the cup with your right hand and support the bottom of it with the palm of your left hand. Hold the cup this way even when you're drinking. It is rude to drink before everybody has been served and said cheers. Once everybody has a full cup, you can all say “kanpai.” Sake is fairly strong, and while it was once expected that you'd drink the glass in a single go, it's now perfectly acceptable to drink it slowly, sip by sip.  This is especially important if you don't want to drink too much, because your hosts or friends will refill your glass as soon as it's empty. Don't put down your ochoko until the sake is done. Sake can be served with a variety of different foods and courses. Like wine, different sake varieties have different flavor profiles, and will pair better with certain foods. A bold sake like "daiginjo" has strong earthy flavors, and this pairs well with:  Roasted chicken Tempura Chocolate Barbecued foods Fruity sakes like junmai and ginjo have aromas of fruits like peaches. These types of sakes pair well with spicy foods, fatty meats, and a variety of vegetables. Try pairing fruity sakes with:  Spicy tuna tartare Fish Pork Salads Once you open a bottle of sake, it's best consumed within a few hours. This is because open sake will oxidize, and this will affect the flavor of the beverage. Open bottles of sake that aren't finished should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within two days.

TL;DR in English:


Fill a sink with lukewarm water. Stretch the clothing out by hand to reshape it. Pin the clothing in place with books and other heavy objects. Wash and dry the clothing again if it is needed.

If your SHBG levels are too high, it’s possible that you are not eating enough protein. Talk to your doctor about the right amount of protein for you.  The average adult should consume 0.8 g of protein for every kilogram of body weight . For example, if you weigh 165 lbs you should consume 60 grams of protein a day. Make sure that you consume healthy sources of protein.  Too much protein is not good for your body, but you may require more protein if you exercise regularly. Make sure to talk to your doctor before making any major dietary changes. Drinking too much alcohol can cause your SHBG levels to rise. Binge drinking in particular can prevent you from lowering your levels. Moderate drinking guidelines allow for 1 drink per day for women, and up to 2 drinks per day for men. Examples of 1 drink include 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, and 1.5 ounces of distilled liquor, such as vodka. Too much caffeine can limit your ability to lower your SHBG levels. If you’re enjoying too much coffee in the morning, you’ll want to cut back. It is generally considered safe for adults to consume up to 400 mg of caffeine per day. That is the equivalent of about 4 cups of coffee. Consider drinking green tea instead of coffee in the morning. There is some debate about how carbohydrate consumption relates to your SHBG levels. Some recommend going low-carb, while others promote eating plenty of healthy carbs. It’s a safe bet to assume that switching out simple carbs for more complex ones will benefit your health.  Cut out carbs such as white rice, potatoes, and white bread.  Look for high fiber low-glycemic index foods instead, such as quinoa, sweet potatoes, and whole-grain bread.  Consult your doctor before making any drastic changes to your diet.

TL;DR in English: Eat the right amount of protein. Limit your alcohol intake. Decrease the amount of caffeine you consume. Replace simple carbs with complex carbs.

Do you know how long you are willing to be long distance? Does your partner know? It is important to agree on a length of time. If the distance depends on a circumstance with no certain end date, your reunion may keep getting pushed off. Make sure that you discuss the financial aspects of maintaining your relationship with your partner as well. Being in a long distance relationship can be expensive, especially if you travel often to see your partner.   If your partner is waiting for a controlling parent to "back off," that means neither of you have any control over the date. Similarly, if you are waiting for a job to open up in your partner's city, you may be stuck waiting with no date in sight. To avoid this, agree on a date by which you will either move (with or without the job) or break up. For instance, you might say "I'll move to your city as soon as I find a job there. However, if I haven't found one in the next six months, I'll just move and take my chances." However, make sure that you have a conversation about finances before doing something like this to make sure that one partner is able to support the other as they look for a job. If you are planning to be in a perpetually distant relationship, make sure you are both okay with that. You should both feel comfortable with the amount of texting, calling, emailing, and visiting you do. Ask your partner if they feel you're at the right level, and ask yourself how you feel as well.  If you find that one of you is feeling neglected or inundated, agree on a different schedule together. If it feels like only one of you is willing to compromise, your relationship might not be working. You should still be able to hang out with friends, visit family, go to parties, and have time to yourself. If you feel like your long distance relationship is making it impossible for you to have a social life where you are, you need to draw some boundaries.  Tell your partner you can't visit them as frequently. Explain that you are feeling lonely from never making any friends...

TL;DR in English: Decide how long you can handle being in a long distance relationship. Keep a communication schedule that works for both of you. Make sure you can both maintain a social life. Clarify your expectations.

Turn on the oven to 400 degrees F (204 C). Thaw 1 full package (17.3 ounces or 490 g) of puff pastry according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that the pastry is soft enough to handle, but not too warm. If the pastry is warm, it will be sticky and difficult to work with. Sprinkle a little flour onto your work space and set one thawed piece of puff pastry on it. Unfold the pastry and use a rolling pin to roll the pastry into a large square. Get out three star cookie cutters in different sizes. Cut four star shapes using each cookie cutter. Repeat this with the other sheet of puff pastry. Keep in mind that to assemble the trees you'll have four large puff pastry stars, four medium-sized stars for the middles, and four smaller stars for the tops. Place the puff pastry stars on two baking sheets. Bake them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The stars should turn golden brown and puff up once they've finished baking. Carefully take the puff pastry stars out of the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool. You should have a total of 24 stars in three different sizes. This will give you eight finished puff pastry Christmas trees. Place eight large stars on your work space. Top each of them with 1 teaspoon of vanilla pudding or lemon curd. Set a medium star on top of the larger one so it sticks. Place another teaspoon of the filling on the middle star and top it with a small star. Do this for each of the trees.  You'll need a total of 1/3 cup (76 g) of vanilla pudding or lemon curd. Try to alternate the points of the stars as you stack them. This will make them look like tree branches. Warm up 1/3 cup (113 g) of honey in the microwave until it's thin. Drizzle each of the trees with some of the honey. Then you can sprinkle green decorating sugar over the trees. Top each of the Christmas trees with a fresh raspberry or maraschino cherry half. The honey will help the sugar stick. If you don't like the texture of the decorating sugar, you can omit it.

TL;DR in English: Thaw the puff pastry and preheat the oven. Roll out the puff pastry and cut out stars. Bake the puff pastry stars. Assemble the trees using pudding or curd. Decorate the puff pastry Christmas trees.

If your sink isn’t available, use a bucket or even a bathtub instead. Add at least 1⁄4 US gal (950 mL) of lukewarm water, enough to submerge the garment. Make sure the water is at room temperature or a little warmer than that so it effectively relaxes the fibers in the fabric.  Cold water won’t help you stretch out clothing. On the other hand, hot water shrinks and damages clothing, so avoid using it here. Note that knitted clothes, including cotton, wool, and cashmere garments, respond to this tactic better than other types of fabric. Fabrics with tight weaves, such as silk, rayon, or polyester, will be more difficult to reshape. Unroll the towel, then move the garment to a second dry towel spread out over a flat surface. Use your hands to tug on the edges of the damp clothing. Be gentle to avoid damaging the fabric’s fibers. It may not be exactly the same as it was before it shrunk, but try to get the clothing as close as possible to its original shape.  For a more accurate way to gauge the size and shape your garment needs to be, create a cutout. Find a similarly-sized garment and use it to trace an outline on parchment paper. Then, place the garment over the outline while you’re stretching it. If you’re having a hard time stretching the clothing, use the steam setting on an iron. The steam softens stiff fabric. Keep the garment on the towel. Work on parts of the garment one at a time so you’re able to pin them in place as you reshape them. If you don’t have heavy books, try using paperweights, coffee mugs, or anything else you have available. Eventually, your garment will be covered in these weights so the fabric can’t move at all.  If you do not have any heavy objects nearby, hold the garment in place with clothespins. You can leave the clothing this way until it dries. If your garment is in bad shape, consider checking back every 30 minutes and stretching it out again. If you need the clothing to dry faster, hang it up to air dry. Drape it over a curtain rod, put it on a clothes hanger, or put it in...

TL;DR in English:


Make a wild gesture toward the back of the room. Steal a powerful card from the other players if you need a strong card. Put several of your cards in the discard pile if you have too many. Avoid doing this if there are many mirrors in the room.

Once you've had the talk, you need to set new boundaries. Even if your boyfriend is okay with much of what you're saying, you'll still need to compromise on some issues.  You need to make sure your boyfriend's needs are still being met, even if you're spending more time alone or without him. If you've gone from, say, six nights at his apartment to four he might be feeling a little lonely.  There are ways to compromise on space without you feeling smothered. If you two end up spending less physical time together, you can try to make that time more valuable. Spend less time on your phone texting or e-mailing in his presence. Be more physically affectionate when you're together. Text or call more often on the nights you're not coming over. All these things can help your boyfriend feel secure even while you two spend less physical time together. Oftentimes, wanting less space in a relationship could be a sign of underlying problems. Talk to your boyfriend openly about any issues on his end.  Not wanting any space is often fueled by insecurity. Was your boyfriend cheated on in the past? Was one of his parents not present in his early childhood? Did he move a lot and, as a result, lose friends throughout his life? These, and other issues, can make someone insecure about losing others. Asking your boyfriend more about his own history can help you better understand his fears.  Some people are simply codependent on others. Codependent people tend to put others' needs first, don't really know themselves well, have low self esteem, and have never really learned healthy relationship boundaries. If your boyfriend has had similar issues in the past, you can try to talk to him about dealing with his codependent tendencies to be a healthier, happier person. Once again, you should evaluate your own motivations for wanting space. If you're not interested in the relationship, or if your boyfriend does things that make you uncomfortable or unhappy, you should seriously consider whether you want to stay in this relationship at all.

TL;DR in English: Compromise on alone time. Address any underlying issues. Evaluate your motivations.
###
The radius is half as long as the diameter, so the diameter can be thought of as 2r. Keeping this in mind, you can write down the formula for finding the circumference of a circle given the radius: C = 2πr. In this formula, "r" represents the radius of the circle. Again, you can plug π into your calculator to get its numeral value, which is a closer approximation of 3.14. For this example, let's say you're cutting out a decorative strip of paper to wrap around the edge of a pie you've just made. The radius of the pie is 5 inches. To find the circumference that you need, just plug the radius into the equation:  C = 2πr C = 2π x 5 C = 10π C = 31.4 inches

TL;DR in English: Write down the formula for finding the circumference of a circle using the radius. Plug the given radius into the equation and solve.

If you’re scared of injuring yourself when you hit the board, you aren’t going to be successful. Clear your mind and tell yourself that you will break the board. If you believe this, your hand won’t hesitate when it gets close to the board, and your speed shouldn’t slow down, resulting in a clean break. While having strong hands won’t hurt, the key to a successful board break is your speed. You want to hit the board as fast as possible, as this is what causes the board to break. Practice striking over and over again on either a bag or a board wrapped in foam. Increase your speed each time, striking faster and faster. You shouldn’t think of the board as your final target — otherwise, your hand will slow down once it gets close to the board, and the board won’t break. Focus at a point beyond the board and aim for that spot when you strike. This will keep your momentum going as you strike through the board instead of at it. Since you’re aiming beyond the board, make sure your distance is set up to reflect this. Your body shouldn’t be set up to only reach the board, you should be reaching through beyond the board. The kiai that martial artists often emit when striking is not just for show or to startle the opponent.  The contraction of the diaphragm and torso muscles can be used to put more power in your strike. When you yell as you strike, you’re releasing stored energy, giving your strike more strength. Once you make contact with the board, you need to keep your momentum going and finish the strike all the way through. If you stop as soon as you feel the board, you might not end up breaking it completely, and you could injure your hand. Not everyone breaks a board on their first try, so don’t give up. If you’ve conditioned your hand, practiced the right technique, and feel confident that you can break the board, you’ll be able to. Try not to feel discouraged by failed attempts and keep trying.

TL;DR in English: Release all fears and commit to breaking the board. Focus on speed, not power. Aim at a point beyond the board. Yell as you strike to release more energy. Maintain your follow-through. Keep trying if you don’t immediately break the board.

This statement tracks the sources and uses of cash by the company. Title this page “Statement of Cash Flows” and list the organization's name and the period of time the statement will cover. Similar to the income statement, the statement of cash flows covers a period of time, such as January 1 to December 31. The statement of cash flows begins with a section you should title “Cash Flows from Operating Activities.” This section corresponds to the income statement you already prepared. List the operating activities of the organization. This may include items such as cash receipts from sales and cash paid for inventory. Subtotal these items and label the resulting total “Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities.” Add a section titled “Cash Flows from Investing Activities.” This section corresponds to the balance sheet already prepared.  This section relates to cash paid or received from investments in property and equipment, or investments in securities, such as stocks and bonds.  Add a subtotal called “Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities.” The last section of this page should be titled “Cash Flows from Financing Activities.” This section relates to the equity portion of the balance sheet. This section should shows inflows and outflows from securities and debt issued by the organization. Add a subtotal called “Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities.” Sum the three categories in the statement of cash flows, and label this number as the "Increase or Decrease in Cash" during the period. You can add the increase or decrease in cash to the cash balance at the beginning of the period. The sum of these two numbers should equal the cash balance shown on your balance sheet. Financial reports often include a section called “Notes to the Financial Statements,” which contain significant information about the company. Consider what additional information about the finances of the organization would be most useful to include in the “Notes” and then add this information to your report.  The notes might contain...

Direct the other player’s attention to the back of the room to distract them. This way, they won’t notice your tricks.  For example, you can point out an insect high up on a wall. In addition, you can scream and point to something behind the other players. As the other players turn their back, snatch a few cards from their pile. Move your hands very quickly so they don’t see! Do this if you only have cards with numbers on them and need a Wild card or Skip card, for instance. When the other players turn their back, place a few of your cards from the discard pile. Do this in a very quick motion so they don’t notice movement from behind and catch you. Don’t place all of your cards in the pile so it seems more realistic. Instead, keep 1-3 cards and run out in a couple turns. This way, the other players are less likely to notice your deception. If the room where you’re playing has many mirrors on the walls, the reflection may blow your cover. Try another cheating method instead. For example, some living rooms and dining rooms are decorated with large, paneled mirrors.

TL;DR in English:


a beginner, you can use a timer to help you get started.

Go to your friend's favorite places. Celebrate at school. Throw a party.

Turn the heat dial to the setting that is most appropriate for your fabric. Once you've selected a heat level, the metal will begin to grow warm. Let the iron become hot. You shouldn't need to wait more than a matter of seconds.  The heat levels are often listed in relation to a certain type of fabric. For instance, cotton responds well to high heat and steam, but some synthetic fabrics might melt or fuse if they're exposed to such temperatures. Do not use an inappropriate setting! Start with a low heat and work up. If you are ironing more than one item, start with the one that uses the lowest setting on the iron. This way, you won't need to let the iron cool down before you continue. If you bunch up the garment or leave it laying out, then there's a good chance that it will dry with wrinkles. Hang the fabric on a clothes hanger and let it air-dry.

TL;DR in English: Heat up the iron. Hang the clothing immediately after ironing.

Natural light is the best lighting you can use when filming for YouTube. Successful YouTubers use studio type lights or white lights, which also give you good lighting. But natural lighting is the best. Make sure you have the lights facing you and not behind you. Be aware of where shadows are and make sure they are not covering the main focal point of your videos.  Backgrounds are also good to have. You can buy or make backgrounds. To purchase a cheap background, go on eBay or other selling sites to find a simple, white background. Alternatively, you can film you videos outside at places like the beach, your local park, or even your backyard. Consider purchasing a green screen, this way you will be able to make your own backgrounds for your videos. Webcams are out. The video and audio quality are not very good on webcams, so try to invest in a good video camera. It doesn't have to be a $500 camera, it could cost $20 as long as the quality for audio and visuals are good your video will be good too.  Many digital cameras now have excellent video capacity. Look for used options on auction sites or classifieds if you haven't a lot of money to spare. Some great sites to find used cameras are eBay and Craigslist. The latest mobile phones are also capable of creating good videos. Consider using a tripod to avoid having a shaking video effect. This only applies if your video involves you recording your screen. HD videos are the norm nowadays, so make sure it can record at 720p or above.  It is best to invest in one rather than download a free one as they often have a "Free Trial" or "Demo" watermark across the screen on export. If your screen recorder does not have options to record audio as well then you need to invest in a good quality microphone - or another screen recorder. One many YouTubers use is the "Blue Snowball" or "Blue Yeti", but any cheap, high-quality microphone will do the job. Choosing tags is a pretty important step in the video upload process, choosing popular tags will make it harder for people to...

TL;DR in English: Improve your filming techniques. Invest in a quality camera or use your smartphone. Record with a high-quality screen recorder. Tag your videos with relevant tags.

Once the foal gets past the shoulders, it should come out quickly and land on the straw. If the sac around the foal is still intact after the foal struggles a bit, you'll need to rip or cut it open so the foal can breathe. Also, tilt the foal's head upward to clear it's nose of fluid.  If tilting doesn't clear the nose, you can use a suction bulb to pull out mucus. If the foal is having trouble breathing use a towel to rub its abdomen and ribs, which may help it start breathing. If it's still having trouble, you can hold the foal upside down for a moment or two to let the fluid drain. Start artificial respiration if the foal doesn't breathe on its own by cupping your hands firmly over its mouth and nose. Breathe into one nostril steadily and gently, letting its chest rise and fall, then push air into the nostril again. Keep going until it can breathe on its own. Do not try to cut the cord. It will break naturally on its own. Have an umbilical clamp on hand. The mare will likely lay down on its side for 20 minutes or so while it recovers. During that time, the mare will likely display colic-like behavior as she works to deliver the placenta. Tie a knot in the placenta with twine and let it hang so your horse is more likely to pass it safely.   Never pull on the placenta since it could break inside the mare and make it sick. The foal should stand up within an hour and start nursing within 2. If it doesn't, call your vet. The navel stump is what's left behind on the foal when the umbilical cord breaks off, and it will be on the foal's belly, much like a human belly button. Pour an antiseptic solution into a cup. You can use a 0.5% chlorhexidine solution or a 2% iodine in it. Gently push the navel stump into the cup and hold it in there for 30 seconds. This is stage 3 of labor, and the horse should pass it within 3 hours, though often it will happen within 1 hour. It will look like a large, white bag. If you don't see it within 3 hours, call your veterinarian, as not passing the placenta is dangerous for the mare...

TL;DR in English: Get the foal breathing as soon as it is fully delivered. Give the mare and foal a chance to rest while you wait for the placenta. Clean the navel stump by dipping it in an antiseptic. Watch for the passing of the placenta. Call the veterinarian if the mare or foal show signs of trouble in the next few days.

Tung oil cures slowly. For best results, be prepared to wait up to a week after each application to ensure that the followup coat bonds securely to the previous one. That way, it will have a chance to harden separately.  Most projects will require between 4-6 individual coats. The more coats you put on, the darker and more lustrous the finish will become and the more protected it will be.  Treating wood with tung oil is an ongoing process that may take several days or weeks, not a one-and-done overnight project. Take your time and focus on applying each coat correctly. Once you’ve applied the desired number of coats, put the item away so the finish can set up. Be sure to wait at least 10-15 days before exposing the wood to moisture or pressure. At the end of that time, the oil will have solidified enough for the item to be used carefully. Newly-finished wood will cure fastest when stored in a cool, dry environment.

TL;DR in English: Let the wood rest for 3-7 days between coats. Allow several weeks for the oil to cure completely.

Spending a day doing the things you've always loved to do together is a fun way to say goodbye. You could do something special like going to a baseball game or concert. Go out to dinner at your friend's favorite restaurant, or cook dinner at your place for a more intimate setting. If you and your friend go to the same school, have a lunchtime celebration with your other friends. Have everyone decorate your friend's locker with well wishes, and bring in treats to share at lunchtime in her honor. If you and your friend have other friends in common, give your friend a great send-off with a party. It can be a surprise or not - you know your friend best, so you decide. You could choose to have a party with a theme or just keep it simple by gathering at a restaurant for a goodbye dinner.  Tell everyone who is invited to write down a fun memory that involves your best friend. At the party, take turns reading the memories.   Bake or buy a goodbye cake to share at the party. Write WE'LL MISS YOU! with your friend's name across the top of the cake.

Excessively dry skin, especially dry hands, increases the risk of static shock. Always moisturize your skin before you go out.  If you wear panty hoes or silk lining, make sure you moisturize your legs before getting dressed to go out.  Keep a travel sized bottle of lotion in your purse or backpack in case your skin gets dry at work or school. Be especially careful to remember lotion during months, where dry skin is a common ailment. Many people experience static shock when shopping. There are measures you can take to reduce the effect.  When pushing a cart, hold onto to something metal like your house keys. This discharges any energy you build up walking before you touch anything with your bare hands.  Wear leather soled shoes over rubber soled shoes when shopping, as the former are less likely to conduct electricity. Static shock is common in cars. There are ways you can avoid getting shocked when leaving your car.  Sitting in the car generates electrostatic charges because of the constant friction and motion caused by the movement of the car itself. When you leave the seat of your car, you take some of this charge with you. Your body voltage ends up rising when you exit a car.  The voltage discharges when you touch the car door, causing a painful static shock. You can prevent this by holding onto a metal part of the door frame as you leave your seat. The voltage will dissipate into the metal painlessly.  You can also hold your keys before touching the car door, allowing the voltage to move to the metal in your keys without causing you any pain.

TL;DR in English: Moisturize your skin before going out. Take precautions shopping. Avoid static shock when getting out of the car.

This is key to have people respecting you more. A confident attitude is about standing up straight, holding your head up and striding around in a manly way around school. Walk like it everyday and soon you'll feel more confident and you'll see that people will think of you with more respect, too. . This is the golden rule to be popular. You have to be yourself or people might avoid you. If the person you're trying to be friends with doesn't want to be friends with you, then it's their loss, not yours. Don't let anybody change you. If he/she doesn't like you for who you are, then move on to a different person. Nobody likes a liar and if you do lie then it's going to catch up to you in life. The truth might be embarrassing.

You can also compliment others, by saying things like: "Hey dude, nice shoes. Are you a skater dude or something?" He most likely will respond back - if he doesn't then find somebody else. Same goes with complimenting girls; don't say something like: "Hey, I love your hair." Or "I really like your shirt today." Treat her like a Guy. Say similar things. If she doesn't respond then move on. There are tons of boys and girls who like you. You just have to find the right people. During your conversations with people, try to find things you have in common. This will make your friendship last for a long time. Don't agree on everything; you're going to have one thing you like that he/she doesn't or something that he/she likes that you don't. Sit together at lunch so that you and your friend can know each other better. Join Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or YouTube. You're going to find at least somebody from school, so add him/her as friends and you'll get to know each other online.

Asbestos was widely used between 1920 and 1989, after which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began regulating materials containing asbestos. Asbestos can most commonly be found in buildings, but also in gas heaters, hair dryers, some clothing and automotive brakes.  Walls, flooring, pipes, textured paints, insulation, fireproofing materials, pipes, electric wiring, and even chalkboards constructed between 1920 and 1989 may contain asbestos. If the building was constructed between 1920 and 1989, chances are something in the building was constructed with materials containing asbestos. Few materials made today are constructed with asbestos. Items that do contain asbestos are now labeled as such. You can't tell whether an item contains asbestos just by looking at it. Instead, look for warning signs that construction materials are degrading. Asbestos isn't dangerous when it's still in good condition, but when it starts to break down and the fibers are released in the air, it becomes toxic. Look for signs of older materials that have become worn out or damaged.  Disintegrating pipes, insulation, walls, tiles, vinyl flooring, stovetop pads, and other older materials that have been present in the building since its construction are signs to look out for. Look for cracks, dusty areas and spots where the material seems to be in the process of breaking down and falling apart. If you don't see signs of construction materials degrading, you might not need to get the area tested, since asbestos is only dangerous when it becomes airborne. However, if you do see signs of degrading materials, or if you simply want to err on the side of safety, you should opt to get the area tested by a professional who has been certified to test for and handle asbestos safely.  Another scenario in which you might want to get the area tested is if you plan to do new construction work or replace old materials. Even if the materials are still in good shape, they'll get disturbed during the construction process and may release fibers...

TL;DR in English: Determine when the building in question was constructed. See if there are signs of disturbed asbestos materials. Decide whether to get the area tested.

Astrology, or the study of space in relation to human affairs, has been around since before the ancient Greeks. Since then, different cultures have developed different methods of interpreting the night sky, and there are many different guidelines out there for burgeoning horoscope writers. The deeper your knowledge of these systems, the better your horoscopes will be. However, if you are just starting out, you should learn the most common system, known as the Solar House System.  Serious astrologers need to know birth times and locations to write personalized horoscopes. However, for general horoscopes like those seen in the paper, the Solar House System is a careful approximation. Houses are typically known as your "sign," such as Libra, Taurus, Aries, etc. If you are unsure about each sign, or need a refresher, click here to view the overviews below.  For the next several steps, you can watch an original Aries horoscope for April 18th, 2015, as it is written. For example, if you're writing about Virgos, you might start by writing about their work schedule or life at work, since they are the House of Work and Ritual. If you're talking about Tauruses, your might touch on finances. These are often your guiding principles, and they are a good way to start writing or to think about the general tenor of each house.  For a Capricorn, you might begin with something like "Your career is about to..." then use the rest of the planets to determine trends.   Aries, April 18: Optimism and boundless energy fill your interactions today. One of the biggest misconceptions in astrology is that every person only has one sign. In reality, your birthday only points to your first house. For example, if you're born October 5th, your first house (and most important sign) is Libra. However, if you continue along the zodiac, the next two houses are your second and third houses, here Scorpio and Sagittarius. You'll notice, reading over the descriptions of each group, that there is some overlap in features between similar months. This...

If you can, try to wash your undies out with cold water as soon as you see that they’re stained with blood. Turn on the water so it’s running at a steady stream. You want the flow to be strong enough to break up the stain, but not so high that it’s blasting, since you don’t want to splash water everywhere. Use the coldest water you can get from your tap. Hot water can cause the blood to set into the fabric. Turn the underwear so the stained crotch is facing upward, then place it so the stream of cold water hits directly on the stain. Rinse away as much of the blood as you can. If you like, you can use your fingers or a cloth to gently blot away the stain as you rinse. You may be surprised how much of the stain disappears with just a little water! Water is unlikely to remove the stain entirely, so for even more cleaning power, drop a little mild soap onto the stain. Work the soap into a lather directly on the fabric, making sure to cover the entire stain. You can use whatever soap you have on hand—hand soap, liquid laundry detergent, or a solid laundry bar are all good options. After you’ve covered the stain with soap, rinse away the suds with more cold water. Keep rinsing until the water runs completely clear and there are no more soapy bubbles on the fabric. Then, examine the underwear to see if the stain is gone. If the stain is still present, wash the underwear with soap and water one more time. If the blood isn't completely gone after that, you may need to try a different approach. Take the underwear out of the water and gently squeeze the fabric so the excess water drips out. Then, place your underwear on a thick towel and roll the towel up tightly. Pat and squeeze the towel for 2-3 minutes to get as much of the water out of the underwear as possible. Don't wring the underwear out, as this might stretch them. to dry. If you have a clothesline, use clothespins to clip the underwear up to dry. However, even if you don’t have a designated place to air-dry clothes, you can still hang your underwear to dry....

TL;DR in English: Open the cold tap on your sink or bathtub. Hold the crotch of your underwear under the cold water. Add a drop of soap and work it into the fabric. Rinse the underwear completely. Wrap the underwear in a towel to remove any excess water. Hang the underwear

Grill extra-firm tofu for a delicious treat. Bake extra-firm tofu in the oven for something different. Bake thick slices of tofu into steaks.

Remove the film spiral from the tank and gently pull the end of the film strip out. Use a clothespin or a similar clip to hold onto the end of the film. The end of the film strip will not have any exposed photos on it so you don’t have to worry about damaging them. Hold the clip with one hand and the spiral with the other. Pull slowly on the clip so the film unravels from the spool. Place the clip along a string so the film doesn’t touch the ground or the wall. Don’t let anything touch the negatives. Work in a clean room where wind or dust won’t damage your negatives. Start from the top of the film strip and gently squeeze it between 2 fingers or a squeegee tongs. Work down the entire length of the film so there is no dripping water. Wear clean vinyl or rubber gloves if you’re using your fingers. Place another clip on the bottom of the strip so it doesn’t twist or deform while it dries. The clip will also catch any drips that fall off of the film strip. Put a tray on the ground below the film strip if you don’t want water or chemicals falling onto the floor. Don’t touch your strips for at least 2 hours after you’ve cleaned and hung them to dry. Check how wet the film still is each hour by touching an area without an exposed photo. Once they are dry, they can be stored or scanned. To speed up the drying process, use a hairdryer on the lowest speed and heat setting and hold it 30 centimetres (0.98 ft) from the film strip.

TL;DR in English: Attach a clip to the end of your film strip. Pull the film off of the spiral slowly and hang the strip off the ground. Wipe any excess liquid off the film strip with a squeegee or your gloves. Attach a weighted clip to the bottom of the film strip. Let the strip dry for at least 4 hours.

By taking an inventory of your strengths and areas that need improvement, you will begin to see what you do well and what you need to work on. This can be a good starting point for figuring out who you are. When you create your inventory, phrase your list so that the strengths use “I am” statements and the areas of improvement use “I want” statements.  For example, for strengths, you might include things like “I am a good friend” and “I am generous with my time.” For areas of improvement you might include things like “I want to be a better listener” and “I want to care less about what other people think of me.” To make your list even longer, you can ask your friends what they think your strengths are and where you could use improvement. Make sure you're asking people who know you well and who will provide you with constructive, positive feedback. Do not ask your friends for help with your list if you think that it might hurt your feelings. Schedule some alone time so that you can look over your list. Scheduling some alone time will also give you a chance to do some self-exploration. You may even want to make scheduled alone time a regular part of your day for a while so that you can have the time and privacy to get to know yourself better.  Keep in mind that you don't need to spend your alone time meditating or being reflective. You can discover something new about yourself, even if you're just watching your favorite movie or getting some light exercise. The important thing is to make time that is just for you and enjoy it. Deciding what you want to change about yourself can also tell you about your priorities and help you better understand who you are. If you have identified some areas that you want to improve, then try setting a small goal for yourself. Think about what this goal says about you. What does it say about who you are?  Make sure that your goal is small and measurable.For example, if you have decided that you want to be more assertive, then set a goal to speak up for yourself once per day. This...

TL;DR in English: Take a personal inventory. Ask people you trust for help. Make time for yourself. Start small. Create art. Challenge yourself. Spend time with people who make you happy.

If the date or time is inconvenient, you can request to reschedule by contacting the person who issued the subpoena. While you may be able to reschedule a deposition, you most likely will not be able to reschedule actual testimony as its bound to the court date. Further, if you have to travel a long distance (usually, over 100 miles), your travel costs will be covered. If the person who issued the subpoena grants a change of schedule, request it in writing to protect yourself. For a subpoena that requires you to provide testimony or a deposition, you simply need to ensure that you show up at the assigned time and place listed in the subpoena. Depending on your situation and the questions you can anticipate being asked, you may want to seek the counsel of your attorney. This will help you determine the best way to answer each question legally without finding yourself in contempt of court. If the subpoena has been issued to a company, the company must designate an individual who is most knowledgeable about the topics stated in the subpoena. If no single person has all of the information requested in the subpoena, the company may still designate a single individual who would then educate himself/herself about the topics which he/she doesn't know. Complying with the subpoena duces tecum means you must produce every document requested that is under your control. If any of the documents aren't in your possession, then you or your attorney must submit (and have granted) a motion to modify the scope of the subpoena before the set date. If an original of a documents must be presented, then the subpoena will say so. If the subpoena lacks this detail, then you should provide photocopies of any documents instead of the original. If the subpoena is for an electronically stored information, then you must present it in its ordinarily maintained form or a form that is still usable to the court. You do not need to make copies of all the documents for every party in the lawsuit. One copy will suffice unless otherwise stated....

TL;DR in English: Reschedule if necessary. Show up. Produce everything in your control. Provide copies of the requested documents. Only give out one copy. Prove you produced the documents.

Chop the tofu into cubes first. Season it with your desired stir-frying sauce or spices, then let it sit for 30 minutes to marinate. Heat 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the tofu, then sauté it for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often with a wooden spatula.  Skip the olive oil, and go for safflower or coconut oil instead. You can use a wok, skillet, or a frying pan for this. Chop the tofu into cubes. Toss it with arrowroot powder or cornstarch, then season it with sea salt. Coat the bottom of a deep skillet with a high-heat cooking oil.  Add the tofu in an even layer, then cook it over high heat. When the tofu turns golden brown, flip it with a spatula. Continue cooking it until it is golden brown all over. The tofu will need about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Fill a saucepan with enough water to touch the bottom of the steamer basket. Heat the water over medium-high heat. Add the tofu, cover the saucepan, and let it steam for 7 minutes. Uncover the saucepan, then serve the tofu as desired. This method works best on unseasoned, non-marinated tofu. Skip the seasoning, and cut the tofu into long strips. Grill it for 5 minutes, flip it, then grill it for 5 minutes more. Remove the tofu from the grill, then add your desired seasoning. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Chop the tofu into cubes, then season it with oil. Toss it with arrowroot powder and sea salt. Spread it evenly across a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake it for 15 minutes, flip it over, then bake it for 15 minutes more. Cut a block of tofu into four thick slices. Prepare the sauce using the ingredients listed below. Pour half of the sauce into an 8 by 6-inch (20.32 by 15.24-centimeter) baking dish, add the tofu, then add the rest of the sauce. Marinate it for 1 hour, flipping the tofu over halfway through, then drain half of the sauce after the hour is up. Bake it in a pre-heated oven at 375°F (191°C) for 30 minutes, flipping it halfway though.  ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) tamari ¼ cup (60 milliliters)...
