A recirculating or front-venting microwave can be installed beneath a counter without any further effort. Other types may require more advanced ventilation installation. Be aware of the requirements of your model before you begin installation. Other types of microwave may be more suited for an over the range installation, require a new ventilation hood, or even necessitate a full new ventilation system. Follow these methods for finding and marking these vertical wall supports. Your microwave will need to be fastened to at least one of them.  If you have one, use an electronic or magnetic stud finder to search for nails. Alternately, tap lightly on the wall with a hammer. When you hear a solid "thunk" instead of a hollow sound, you've likely found a wall stud. If you're not certain whether you've found a stud, drill a test hole and use a bent wire or coat hanger to search for solid objects in your wall.  Once you've located the center of one wall stud, its closest neighbors are usually located either 16 inches or 24 inches to each side.  Use a small nail to probe the wall stud(s) and determine the width.  Draw a vertical line down the center of the wall studs once you've found them. This flat metal plate should be level and the top tabs should butt against the base of the cabinet or cabinet frame.  If your microwave came with a wall template, tape that instead as a drilling guide before you attach the plate. Use a level to ensure your microwave isn't installed at a slant. Remove any decorative trimming from the cabinet preventing you from placing the mounting plate correctly. If the front of the cabinet has an overhang, place the mounting plate below the back of the cabinet by an equal amount. Otherwise the overhang will block access to the microwave. For a microwave that requires base-of-cabinet attachments, you may need to saw off the overhang instead. Follow these steps to determine which size holes to drill and where.  The bottom edge of the plate should have an area covered in holes. Use a marker to draw...

TL;DR in English: Use an appropriate microwave. Locate the wall studs. Place the mounting plate. Locate and drill the correct attachment holes. Drill a 1.5" – 2" (4-5cm) hole for the power cord. Secure the mounting plate. Mount the microwave.

Dip a hand brush into a bucket of water and scrub down all the areas where you, or any other people, sat during the steaming. 30 seconds of scrubbing should be enough for regular cleaning. Rinse the wood down with clean water when you are finished. Keep your brush and bucket near the door to remind you to clean as you leave the sauna. If you notice stains on the wood from sweat, you don’t want those to stay. Dip your hand brush into a solution of warm water and a mild detergent and   Use towels in the sauna to prevent stains. You don’t necessarily want to wear one during the steam, but at least lay one down on the bench where you will be sitting. This will prevent too much sweat, dirt, and dead skin from getting into the wood, which is what causes stains. If stains are particularly difficult to get out, use a light sandpaper to sand down that part of the wood. If you tracked dirt, hair, or other stuff on to the floor, use a vacuum to pick up any loose particles. Even if you don’t see any dirt, vacuum every few weeks to get anything that might be in there. These include drains or ventilation where moisture may gather, places that might not dry as quickly and can breed pathogens. Take them out of the sauna, and scrub down with a disinfectant to prevent mold and bacteria.

TL;DR in English: Scrub the benches, walls, and backrests after use. Scrub stains with a hand brush. Vacuum up the floor. Disinfect any grates.

Talk to your loved ones about what's happening at home. Ask them for financial assistance, a place to stay, or a shoulder to cry on, if you need that, too. If you are a male victim of domestic violence, you may feel embarrassed about the abuse. You shouldn't be. Keeping the abuse a secret will only lead to further isolation and lack of support. Professional counseling is a smart option for victims of abuse. Whether you decide to stay or leave, you may struggle to come to grips with your situation and feel confused as to how you should move forward. A counselor can offer practical guidance and support. Ask your family doctor for a referral to a mental health counselor or ask for recommendations from the staff at your domestic violence shelter. You may feel less isolated in your situation if you reach out to others who understand. Look up domestic violence support groups in your area or online. Group members may help you come to terms with the abuse and offer practical advice, such as learning to be a single parent or finding lawyers to handle a divorce. Abuse leaves emotional scars, even if the physical ones have healed. You can recover from domestic abuse by adopting healthy practices that help you to nurture and express yourself. Add nourishing physical activities to your daily routine like yoga, dance, or boxing. Do relaxation techniques, such as  deep breathing or  mindfulness meditation. You might also enjoy creative pursuits like writing, painting, coloring apps, or online puzzles or games.

TL;DR in English: Contact friends and family. See a counselor. Join a support group. Build a  self-care routine to heal.

All you need is a single ticket to play. While you can always buy more, the extra tickets often do not increase your odds of winning by a significant amount. Since your chance of winning is so low on the most popular games, you don’t need to go out of your way to spend lots of money playing. You’re better off setting aside a part of your budget for tickets when you have some money to spare.  Some people buy hundreds of tickets and lose. Don’t get caught up by the hype of a big jackpot! The biggest lotteries have the ability to print an unlimited number of tickets for every possible number combination. That is why the extra tickets usually don’t pay off. You can’t win if you don’t play! Since winning is all about luck, increase your chances by getting in the game as often as possible. Many lotteries have a drawing each week. Purchase a ticket before each new drawing in order to give yourself a shot at the jackpot. The week you don’t play could be the week where your numbers come up. If you really want to win, play as often as you can. Having patience and dedication helps. Organize a group at your office, school, church, or anywhere else you can find people willing to play. In a pool, everyone who joins agrees to buy at least one ticket. If someone wins, they split the money evenly with everyone else in the pool. Depending on how many people join the pool, you could accumulate a bunch of tickets without shelling out a lot of your own money.  Keep in mind that the odds of a big jackpot are still very remote and, if you do win, you will have to share the payout with everyone in the pool. Make sure someone trustworthy handles the money and tickets. Keep a photocopy of your ticket and receipt to ensure you have proof in case you win. Instead of getting a ticket for every single drawing, save up to play for the big prize. If you’re accustomed to playing a game weekly, you could set aside your money until the payout gets bigger. That way, you get to have fun without spending more than you normally would. The extra...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a single ticket if you’re looking to get started playing. Play weekly if you have money to set aside for a ticket. Join a lottery pool to purchase multiple tickets as a group. Play less often if you wish to chase a big jackpot.

Depending on the auction rules, you may need to pay for the home in cash on the day of the purchase or soon after. However, this isn’t always the case. You may be able to finance your purchase with a pre-approved mortgage. The auction listing will explain the rules for the home you’re interested in buying. If you don’t have enough cash to buy a home that doesn’t allow financing, you may be able to get a personal loan to help cover the difference. However, you’ll need to get the loan before you bid on the home. You can check rates online or visit your local banks and credit unions to discuss rates in person. You may receive a better rate if you go through a bank or credit union where you have an account. Choose the rate that's lowest or offers the best terms.  Review the terms and conditions to make sure they are favorable to you. In some cases, lower rates may carry stricter terms and conditions or may come with higher origination fees. Origination fees are charged when your loan is issued. Count this amount in the cost of your loan. if you can’t pay cash. If your auction allows financed bidders to purchase property, apply for your mortgage ahead of attending the auction. This allows you to prove that you can complete the purchase if you’re the winning bidder. Bring your prequalification letter with you to the auction to provide as evidence that you have the funds. Some auction houses have preferred lenders that they encourage buyers to work with. You can check the listing for this information or call the auction house on the listing for more information. It’s important to go into the auction knowing how much you can pay, especially if payment is expected on the day of purchase. Ask your real estate agent for recent sales listings for comparable properties in the area. As another option, do an internet search to find how much comparable homes are selling for in your area. Then, determine how much money you can actually pay. Determine the maximum you can afford by adding together the cash you have plus the...

Fresh water should be provided for your puppy at all times; there's no need for a schedule. Refill your puppy’s water dish often and wash it out once per day to keep it clean. Bring a bottle of water and a collapsible dish with you when you travel. Puppies need a quiet area to eat their food. Make sure that your puppy has a nice quiet space to eat and prevent other animals from getting to your puppy's food bowl. If your puppy feels threatened while eating, he may start guarding his food bowl. This resource guarding behavior can escalate and become dangerous to you and others. Try placing your puppy's food and water bowls in a quiet corner of your kitchen or at the end of a hallway. Make sure that your puppy can access his food and water bowls with ease. Puppies are like babies in that they like to stick to a schedule. Meal feeding also helps with house training, since the puppy will need to relieve itself on a schedule.  Bear in mind that a puppy has a small stomach and he cannot take in his calorie requirements for the day in two large meals. However, as he grows his stomach expands relative to his frame and he can cope with larger, less frequent meals.  If your puppy is under 3 months of age, then feed him 4 meals a day. If your puppy is between 3 - 6 months of age, then feed him 3 meals a day (4 for toy breeds). If your puppy is 6 months or over, feed him 2 meals a day. If you are often not home during the day, you'll need a way to feed your puppy while you are gone. For example, you could come home at lunch or arrange for a neighbor to feed your puppy in the middle of the day. You can also purchase feeders that operate on a timer that will make food available at certain times during the day. This schedule will only be for a few months, then you can feed morning and night when your puppy is older. Most puppies need to eliminate 15-20 minutes after eating a meal, so it is a good idea to get into the habit of taking your puppy to go potty right after he finishes eating. Doing so will help prevent accidents...

TL;DR in English: Provide fresh water with your puppy's food. Set aside a quiet area for your puppy to eat. Feed your puppy at the same time every day. Make arrangements if you will not be home to feed your puppy. Take your puppy to his potty place after he finishes eating.

Spider mites are attracted to many plants, including indoor and outdoor, with some of those being strawberries, melons, beans, tomatoes, eggplant, pea pods, ornamental flowers, trees, and most houseplants. When checking for spider mites, you'll be able to identify plants they have infested by the state of the plant. Spider mites suck the sap from the plant, which causes damage to its leaves. Some noticeable signs of spider mites are:  Yellow, tan, or white spots on the leaves Very small white or red spots on the leaves that move (these are the spider mites) White, cottony webbing that appears on the underside of the leaves Eventually leaves may curl up after changing color and fall off Before you begin treating spider mites, it's good to be familiar with what they look like and the harm they cause. If you are unable to see them on the leaf, hold the stem of your plant over white paper and gently shake, causing the spider mites to fall on the paper.   Spider mites are very small, so they can be difficult to see, but with a magnifying glass you will be able to make out a small body with eight legs, and a red, brown, yellow, or green coloring. Spider mites are most common in hot, dry and dusty conditions and most prevalent in places where they have no predators, such as plants that have been treated with insecticide.

TL;DR in English: Identify plants spider mites are attracted to. Recognize the signs. Check for spider mites.

A soft reset essentially forces the phone to end all of its current processes, turn off, and then restart from a fresh state. No long-term data is lost — you'll still have all of your apps, messages, and contacts saved to your phone after you perform a soft reset. The only data you risk losing is unsaved data in programs that are running when the phone turned off. Because a soft reset is quick, easy, and relatively risk-free, it's a good first step when trying to solve minor issues.  Situations that might call for a soft reset include: You can't seem to receive calls or texts properly Your phone seems slow or "laggy" You can't seem to connect to wifi networks that you know are broadcasting correctly Your touch screen seems unresponsive or erratic An app has become frozen or unresponsive To start the soft reset process, close any applications that are currently open. Be sure to save anything that you're working on, like important texts or emails (note however, that most modern phones will automatically save drafts of your messages.) If the reason for the soft reset is that one of your applications is frozen and won't close, you don't have to waste time trying to close it. Just proceed to the next step. When you're ready to start your soft reset, slide off the rear casing. Carefully lift the battery out of its slot. This will cause the phone to immediately turn off. Give the phone a brief chance to "cool down" after removing the battery by waiting at least a few seconds. Then, simply replace the battery and turn the phone back on as you normally would by holding the power button down for a few seconds. This brief waiting period is something that's also frequently recommended when resetting everything from desktop computers to network routers. The reason for this has to do with capacitors — small structures inside most modern electronic devices that store electric charge. Ten seconds is about how long it takes for most capacitors to discharge. Thus, waiting ten seconds before restarting your phone allows you to...

TL;DR in English: Use a soft reset for minor problems and service hiccups. Close all applications. Remove the phone's battery. Wait at least ten seconds before turning the phone back on. Alternatively, just use the power button. Consider powering off your phone semi-regularly.

Painter's caulk helps the primer and paint adhere better to the slate surface. Squeeze the painter's caulk around the tile's surface and spread it around with your fingers until you achieve a thin, even coating.  The caulk coating should be thin and translucent for an even coat. Scrape off any excess caulk with a razor. If you notice any dips or bumps, smooth them with sandpaper or epoxy before applying the caulk. Unlike primer and paint, you don't have to wait for painter's caulk to dry. Using a paint brush or a spray can, depending on the container, cover the tile from one side to the other. Apply the primer in thin, long strokes for an even coating.  Use a paint primer that is specifically made for painting tiles for a strong blond.  Let the primer dry for 30-60 minutes before applying the paint. Using a paintbrush or roller, apply a coat of paint in long, even strokes. With minimal overlapping, work your way from one end of the tile to the other.  Latex or epoxy paint generally adheres best on slate tiles. If the paint has a hard time spreading, add small amounts of paint thinner until you reach an easier consistency to work with. Letting each layer dry for 30-60 minutes apply additional layers of paint using the same method you did to add the first one. The more coats you apply, the brighter and more opaque your tile's color will be.

Horses are found in plains biomes. Plains biomes are relatively flat, grassy biomes with few trees. This mounts the horse  It will likely buck you off after a few seconds. Each time the horse bucks you off, get back on.  If it doesn't buck you off, just stay on.  Eventually, hearts appear over the horse, this indicates that the horse has been tamed.  You can make it easier to tame a horse by feeding it apples.  Apples are found by breaking oak leave blocks.  You don't need any tools to break oak leave blocks. You can breed two tamed horses in close proximity by feeding them until hearts appear over their head.  A foul will appear after a few seconds.  If you breed a horse and a donkey, they will produce a mule.

The infection is caused by spores of the Cryptococcus fungus carried by contact or infected by breathing-in the microscopic fungus (invisible to the eye). It is not transmitted from person to person or from animal to person. A person with cryptococcosis is not contagious. This tiny (microscopic) fungus similar to yeast (previously known to grow in the environment of certain warm, tropical countries) is parasitic and causes serious diseases in humans and animals. Why the fungus appeared on the east coast of Vancouver Island, B.C. in 1999 is not clear. It may have been imported or it may have always existed on Vancouver Island and increased in prevalence due to some climate or environmental changes.  Various Cryptococcus fungus are found growing and spreading in the environment in B.C. and in other places including tropical and subtropical climates in countries such as Brazil and Australia. The C. gattii variety of the cryptococcal fungus lives "on trees and in the soil". It was discovered due to finding recent human and animal cases of cryptococcusis, fungal illness, in the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health Department Regions, and it is now being found in other areas as well.  In Washington State, U.S.A., C. gattii was first identified in cats in 2005; since that time dogs, cats and pet birds have been found to be infected. A small number of human cases have been reported from western Washington.  It is not certain how Cryptococcus gattii spread from Vancouver Island to the North American mainland. It may have been transported through the air or on people, vehicles and products traveling from the Island to the mainland. More recently it has been found in the states of Washington and Oregon, as well as in the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Regions. C. gattii, C. grubii, and C. neoformans. The C. neoformans and C. grubii cause illness mainly in people with "impaired immune systems". On the other hand, C. gattii can cause illness in otherwise healthy people as well as those with impaired immunity. Although C....

TL;DR in English: Be aware of how the cryptococcosis fungus spreads. Realize the potential in your area for Cryptococcus gatti to be present. Note the three main types of Cryptococcus causing diseases: Be aware that this infection is non-contagious from those who are ill, but persons and animals (cats, dogs and llamas, plus porpoises) exposed in the environment may become infected and fall sick with this cryptococcal disease. Be aware that the fungus spreads on: Recognize those who are at a higher risk of contracting this disease.

Thoroughly wash any fruits or vegetables you will use to remove dirt and debris. First, rinse the produce in cold water for a few seconds. Next, scrub any hardy produce with a vegetable brush to remove stubborn dirt.  Hardy produce includes potatoes, carrots, and ginger. The FDA does not recommend the use of detergents, soap, or commercial produce washes when cleaning vegetables. Consider what size would be best for your chutney. For example, if you’re planning on pureeing your chutney, the size of the vegetable isn’t important. Alternatively, if you’re not going to puree it, consider cutting the vegetables into easy-to-eat, uniform cubes.  Some fruits and vegetables have a thick, inedible skin. If this is the case, peel the skin and dispose of it. For example, mangoes need to be peeled, while tomatoes do not. Remove and discard any bruised and inedible parts of the produce. Combine the vinegar, sugar, base produce, and seasonings into your stock pot. Gently stir the mixture to incorporate the ingredients. Next, place your stock pot on the stove.  If you want to add any inedible seasonings such as whole cloves, wrap them in cheese cloth and secure them with cooking string. The bundle will be easy to remove after the cooking is finished. Cheesecloth and cooking string can be purchased at most gourmet grocery stores, cheese making suppliers, and online. Continue to heat the mixture for ten to fifteen minutes over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously. After the mixture begins boiling, the sugar will dissolve into the vinegar. After the sugar dissolves, reduce the heat to medium low. Allow the mixture to simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. Test the thickness of the mixture before removing it from the heat. You should be able to remove a spoonful of the chutney to create a small crater without any liquid filling it in. A mixture is simmering when there are small active bubbles forming around the pot. If the mixture is too active, reduce the heat. If there are no bubbles forming at...

TL;DR in English: Wash your produce. Cut the vegetables into chunks. Place the ingredients into the stock pot. Bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer until the mixture becomes thick. Turn off the heat.

Herbal teas can help to settle an upset stomach or bouts of nausea that may occur due to the diarrhea. Ginger tea is safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Children over two years of age can have light ginger tea or flat non-carbonated ginger ale. Ginger tea has not been tested for use for very young children. You can have tea bags or add one teaspoon of chamomile leaf or fenugreek seeds per cup of hot water. Consume five to six cups of tea a day. These herbal teas help to settle your stomach and calm down your digestive system. Researchers at The University of Maryland have also found blackberry leaf tea, raspberry leaf tea, bilberry teas, and carob powder drinks can help to settle the stomach. These beverages have antibacterial and antiviral properties. Do not consume bilberry tea if you are on blood thinners or have diabetes. Try not to have any coffee, black tea, green tea, or caffeinated sodas. These drinks can make your diarrhea worse, as they can stimulate bowel movements. Stay away from alcohol as it can also irritate your bowels and make your diarrhea worse.

TL;DR in English: Have ginger tea. Try chamomile tea or fenugreek tea. Drink blackberry tea. Avoid caffeinated beverages.

You can purchase thin sheets of wax from a craft store that can be punched or cut into shapes to decorate the surface of a pillar or free-standing candle. Using wax sheets in your desired colors, use a craft punch, cookie cutter, or sharp knife to cut the wax sheet into shapes. To affix the shapes to the candle: Use a heat gun or blow dryer to soften a wax cut-out, then warm the candle in the spot where you want to attach the shape. Press the shape into the outside of the candle, and hold it there for a minute to allow the wax to dry. This method will work best on a light candle that’s not in a mold, because you are going to use tissue paper to transfer a pattern, image, or decoration directly onto the candle. Choose the image or pattern you want to decorate your candle, and then:  Gently tape a piece of white tissue paper to a piece of regular printer paper, and print the pattern onto the tissue paper. Wrap the printed tissue paper around the candle and cut the paper to size. Or, if you're using an image, cut out the shape of the image. Use a non-toxic glue to affix the tissue paper in place around the candle. Wrap the candle in wax paper, and apply heat from a heat gun or blow dryer. As the wax heats up, it will saturate and absorb the tissue paper, leaving only the image or pattern on the paper visible. Remove the wax paper and allow the candle to dry.  To use this decorative method on a jar candle, print off your pattern onto tissue paper (of any color), and then use a paint brush to apply liquid craft glue to affix the tissue paper to the outside of the jar. You can use opaque paint markers and glitter pens to paint a jar candle or directly onto the candle itself. You can experiment with shapes, designs, images, or anything else you desire. Use the paint pen for the major design, and then add points of interest with the glitter pen. For festive ideas, consider painting a tree or ornaments for Christmas, leaves for fall or Thanksgiving, hearts for Valentine’s day, flowers for spring, and snowflakes for...

Remember that every right triangle has one angle equal to 90 degrees. Measure the length of 2 of the triangle's sides. Use the sine function if you know the length of the opposite side and the hypotenuse. Use the cosine function if you know the length of the adjacent side and the hypotenuse. Use the tangent function if you know the length of the opposite side and the adjacent side.

Boat soap is designed to reduce residue and is better for the environment than dish soap, so it's your best bet for cleaning your boat. Mix together 2 parts warm water with 1 part boat soap in a large pail or bucket. Dip a mop into the soapy mixture and then mop along the surfaces of your boat. You should see dirt come up as you mop.  You can find boat soap at most home improvement and boat supply stores. You can use non-skid cleaners to clean the deck of the boat where the plastic is molded in and hard to clean. Once your boat is clean, walk along it, looking for cracks. It can be helpful to run your hand over the surface of your boat as you walk, since you might feeI a crack before you see it.  If you find small, hairline cracks in your boat, you can repair it yourself by using epoxy. Fiberglass epoxy is available at most boat supply stores. Follow the instructions on the epoxy for repairing the cracks. If the crack is deep or larger than a hairline crack, you'll need to take your boat to a professional to have it restored. A gel acid-based stain remover will work best to remove stubborn stains. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection before you apply the remover. Use a rag to swab the cleaner across the stain and then let it sit for 20 minutes. Use a hose to rinse off the remover.  Depending on how bad the stain is, you may need to apply more than 1 coat. If you find that one type of stain is resistant to the remover, look for a specialty remover. You might need one to remove mold, black streaks, or rust. Your boat likely has a lot of items that can't be removed, like metal fittings and railings. Use painters' tape to tape these areas off. It will protect them from getting scratched when you restore the gelcoat.

TL;DR in English: Clean your boat's surface with boat soap and warm water. Check for damage or cracks. Use acid-based stain removers to remove mineral and organic stains. Tape off any fittings that could be damaged.

Make a point of approaching the professor after the class to say a quick “hello” and introduce yourself. Let the professor know you are excited about their class and look forward to learning from them. Mention your name and try to chat with the professor about your educational interests or background. For example, you may say, “Hi, my name is Selena Gomez. I’m a second year med student. I’m looking forward to taking your class.” Most professors will hold office hours outside of class time and like it when students make the effort to attend them. Go to the professor’s office hours to introduce yourself one on one.  Come prepared with a question or thought about that week’s class. Bring along notes from class so you can discuss them with the professor. Having notes will give you something to chat about during the office hours. Most professors have open office hours, or office hours by appointment. Show up on time for your appointment with the professor so they are not kept waiting. Be friendly to the professor when you spot them walking around campus or in the hallway between classes. Say “hello” to them at social events on campus. Doing this will let them know you are open and friendly. You may try some small talk with the professor when you see them and they do not seem in a hurry. You may say, “How’s your day going?” or “Great to see you.”

TL;DR in English: Say “hello” to the professor after the first class. Go to the professor’s office hours. Greet the professor when you see them around campus.

Running a garage sale is a lot like working at a retail establishment, so bring out the salesperson within you.  Greet your customers with a friendly smile as they arrive. Ask customers if there is anything you can help them with. Then let them browse if they say no. You want people to feel comfortable at your sale and not like they are being watched or judged. Offer package deals (if a person buys a blender, for example, why shouldn’t they buy those margarita glasses as well?), and reward big buyers with bulk discounts. Don’t just hope that your goods sell themselves. Always have several people at the sale for the sake of convenience and security. You can ask your family members or friends to help out and repay them with a small fee or treat them to a meal afterward.  Bathroom breaks are made easier with extra help. When you need one, you can keep the sale running smoothly. Never leave the sale unattended for more than a few moments at a time and avoid leaving the sale under the watch of small children. As your sale progresses, things will unavoidably get disheveled, disorganized, and possibly even broken. If you want to sell as much as possible, you should try to keep things looking nice.   Straighten items as you walk by them and while you speak to customers. Move items around as you sell them, putting forward new and premium items in the front. Even though your prices are clearly marked, some people will try to haggle. Play along; haggling can be a fun experience, and you’ll likely make a lot more sales if you’re willing to reward these bargain hunters.  Don’t be afraid to decline an offer that considers all offers. After all, you’re trying to get rid of this stuff. Be sure not to drop your prices too early in the day. If you've successfully organized your garage sale, you should bring in plenty of customers that are willing to pay the full price. If you're having a multi-family sale, haggling on friends' items should only be done with their permission. If a customer isn't willing to compromise on their...

TL;DR in English: Be an active seller. Have extra help on hand. Keep your items tidy throughout the sale. Negotiate with hagglers. Offer last-minute deals. Stay open until closing time to catch latecomers. Give away what you don't sell. Take down your signs after the sale.

By definition, a right triangle will always have one angle that's 90 degrees, even if it's not labeled as such. So, you will always know at least one angle and can use trigonometry to find out the other 2 angles. The longest side of a triangle is called the “hypotenuse.” The “adjacent” side is adjacent (or next to) to the angle you're trying to determine. The “opposite” side is opposite to the angle you're trying to determine. Measure 2 of the sides so you can determine the measure of the remaining angles in the triangle. Plug your values into the equation: sine (x) = opposite ÷ hypotenuse. Say that the length of the opposite side is 5 and the length of the hypotenuse is 10. Divide 5 by 10, which is equal to 0.5. Now you know that sine (x) = 0.5 which is the same as x = sine-1 (0.5). If you have a graphing calculator, simply type 0.5 and press sine-1. If you don't have a graphing calculator, use an online chart to find the value. Both will show that x = 30 degrees. For this type of problem, use the equation: cosine (x) = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse. If the length of the adjacent side is 1.666 and the length of the hypotenuse is 2.0, divide 1.666 by 2, which is equal to 0.833. So, cosine (x) = 0.833 or x = cosine-1 (0.833). Plug 0.833 into your graphing calculator and press cosine-1. Alternatively, look up the value in a cosine chart. The answer is 33.6 degrees. The equation for tangent functions is tangent (x) = opposite ÷ adjacent. Say you know the length of the opposite side is 75 and the length of the adjacent side is 100. Divide 75 by 100, which is 0.75. This means that tangent (x) = 0.75, which is the same as x = tangent-1 (0.75). Find the value in a tangent chart or press 0.75 on your graphing calculator, then tangent-1. This is equal to 36.9 degrees.

TL;DR in English:


Use a fabric that's stretchy and breathable. This will help you stay warm and dry.

Opt for fleece. Put on a mid-layer sweater. Wear a soft shell for windy conditions. Put on mid-layer pants, if necessary.

and promotional fliers.  Distribute these items around local art galleries and fairs.  Ask local vendors if you can leave some of your business cards with them or post a flier on their community bulletin boards. Consider contacting vendors that would have the appropriate clientele for your artwork. Also advertise at local restaurants and stores.  This will will allow you to catch people of all interests. Those that are closest to you are your biggest advocates. Let your friends, family and co-workers know that you are selling your art. Show them some of your favorite pieces so they can pass on first-hand information about your art for sale. Be sure to also give them some of your promotional materials so they can hand out your contact information. Most communities host a variety of art fairs throughout the year. Research the various options and decide which one, or ones, would be most appropriate for the type of art you are selling.  For example, if you intend on selling paintings, go to one which highlights paintings in particular. Keep in mind that it often costs money to have a booth at these fairs, but consider the fee an investment in your business. Putting up a little money will likely pay off once you sell a few of your pieces. If you know some people who may be intrigued by your work, host a small get together at your house or at one of their houses. You can also host a private showing to only a handful of guests. Some people are more likely to attend an intimate event like this than an art fair. Ask all of those invited to bring a guest and, again, you are broadening your client base just by word of mouth.

TL;DR in English: Make business cards Tell friends, family, and co-workers about your art. Display your art  at a local fair. Take your art to interested patrons.

Daily blood sugar testing with a glucometer is advised to avoid episodes of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. This will also help assess your ideal insulin requirement. Learning to use a glucometer is important. Select a brand that has easily obtainable glucose strips. In the beginning you may have to check your blood sugar levels three to four times a day or even at nighttime. Managing your insulin levels improves carbohydrate metabolism and reduces blood sugar levels. Insulin therapy is individualized according to weight, lifestyle, age, family support, and occupation. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when administering insulin injections. If medications are required, some physicians recommend starting with oral blood sugar control medications such as metformin or glyburide. If oral agents fail, the traditional treatment involves an intermediate insulin such as NPH in the morning and bedtime, and a short acting insulin with some or all meals. The dosing depends on weight, trimester of pregnancy, and how elevated the blood sugars are.

TL;DR in English: Monitor blood glucose (sugar) as recommended by your healthcare provider. Know the benefits of insulin therapy. Know when you should have insulin therapy.

Slice into even thin slices. Be aware that the thinness determines the final crispiness, so keep them as thin as possible. Only add them single layer and avoid touching. Then sprinkle over the top with your favorite spice. If possible, use fresh, such as grated nutmeg or buy as fresh a spice as possible. They're ready to remove when they look a caramel color and have dried totally.  To store, place in an airtight jar or resealable bags. They can be stored for up to a year.

TL;DR in English: Peel the bananas. Arrange the slices in the dehydrator. Sprinkle fresh lemon juice over the top of the slices. Dehydrate at 135ºF/57ºC for 24 hours. Place on a wire cooling rack and let cool. Store or serve.

Coat the copper with an even layer of cottage cheese. Let it sit for five minutes or more. Dampen a cloth and scrub the copper, then rinse the cheese off with clean water. Repeat as needed for tougher stains. Feel free to use other varieties of vinegar if desired. However, expect other kinds to have more acid, which could have an adverse effect on especially delicate copper. Soak a cloth in the vinegar, then scrub the copper. Rinse with clean water and towel dry. Place the copper in an appropriately sized container and fill it with beer (or simply pour beer into your copper pot or pan.) Let it soak for at least two hours. Then pour the beer out and scrub the copper with a dampened cloth. Rinse the copper and towel it dry. Slice a lemon into quarters, thirds, or halves so you can handle them easily. Dip them in salt to add an abrasive agent. Then scrub the copper directly with the lemon slices. Dampen a cloth when finished and wipe the copper clean to reduce the risk of rust. Inspect for any salt particles that have been left behind and remove them. Dry thoroughly. Bring a liter of water to boil. Stir in two tablespoons of cream of tartar. Soak your copper in the mixture once the cream of tartar has totally dissolved. Remove after two of three minutes, then scrub with a moist cloth, rinse, and dry. Cover the copper in an even coat of ketchup. Give it about half an hour to penetrate the dirt and stains. Dampen a cloth and scrub the copper after thirty minutes. Rinse off the ketchup with clean water, then dry.

TL;DR in English: Use cottage cheese as a paste for stains. Scrub with apple cider vinegar. Soak copper in beer. Scrub with lemon slices and salt. Make a cream of tartar and water bath. Use ketchup as a paste.

This fabric is available in different weights and is great for wicking and insulation. Cotton won't wick moisture or insulate as well. Choose fabric that's a cross between form-fitting and bulky. This way, you'll get the insulation and wicking power you need without struggling to get your outer layer on over the middle layer. Wear a sweater or jacket with a half- or full-zip with standup collar. This will keep you warmer. Look for underarm zippers known as “pit vents” to allow sweat to escape properly. Soft shells are form-fitting yet stretchier for comfort. They come in wind-resistant and windproof varieties. Look for soft shells with a waterproof DWR coating on the outside. This layer might be optional with current fabric technology for base and outer layers. Ask the shop staff for help if you're new to skiing. If you do need mid-layer pants, go for something relatively tight to allow the outer layer to slide on with no problem.

TL;DR in English:


Talk to a counselor. Ask a friend for assistance. Travel in groups or with a friend. Talk to parents, a coach, or a mentor.

Transfer the food to a saucepan and add ¼ cup (59 ml) of water to prevent the food from scorching. Turn the heat to medium and put on a lid. Stir regularly as the food heats up. Depending on how much food you have, reheating could take about 20 minutes.  Ideal foods to reheat in this way include soups, stews, liquids, beverages, and chili. For beverages, avoid adding additional water. Add a tablespoon (15 ml) of cooking oil or butter to a skillet or cast iron pan. Heat the skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add your food. Cook for about five minutes, and then use a spatula to flip the food. Cook for another five minutes, or until it’s heated through.  This method is ideal for noodles, pasta, rice, or other grains. You can also use this method with beans. Frying in a bit of oil will make the noodles or rice slightly crispy. Another way to reheat rice and other grains is in a pot with some extra water. The water will add moisture back to the grains, and will bring the grains back to their original consistency. Pour the grains into a pot with ½ cup (118 ml) of water or broth. Heat the grains on medium until warmed through. As the grains cook, stir them every five minutes to ensure even heating. Turning on the oven for a slice of pizza is a waste of energy, and you can actually get a crispier crust by pan frying. Heat a dry cast iron pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the pizza and place a lid over the pan. Heat the pizza for three to four minutes, until it’s hot and the cheese is gooey. Add a tablespoon (15 ml) of oil or butter to a skillet, wok, or cast iron pan. Heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add your meat or stir fry and turn the heat to low. Cook and stir regularly for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dish is warmed through.

TL;DR in English: Heat liquids and saucy foods in a saucepan. Pan fry rice and noodles. Reheat grains with extra water. Crisp up pizza slices in a skillet. Warm up meat and stir fries in a pan.

Hydroquinone is a very effective bleaching cream which can significantly reduce the appearance of age spots.  It is available in concentrations up to 2% over-the-counter, but higher concentrations will require a prescription from your doctor. Be aware that hydroquinone has been banned in many European and Asian countries, due to its potential carcinogenic properties. However, it is still widely available in the US. Retin-A is an excellent anti-aging skin care product which is used to combat fine lines and wrinkles, improve the skin's texture and elasticity and fade discoloration and sun damage, including age spots.  Retin-A is a vitamin A derivative which is available in cream or gel form, in a variety of different strengths. It is only available by prescription, so you will need to see your doctor before you start using it. It helps to eliminate age spots by exfoliating the skin, removing the outer hyperpigmented layer and revealing the fresh, new skin underneath. The combination of these 2 ingredients has been shown to help lighten age spots. Talk to your dermatologist to see what they recommend, or check labels on products to find 1 that contains both. You may be able to find a skin cream or lotion that contains both of these ingredients. Sunscreen won't actually help to reduce the appearance of your existing age spots, but it will prevent new ones from forming (as they are caused primarily by sun damage).  In addition, the sunscreen will prevent your existing sunspots from becoming any darker or more noticeable. You should wear a sunscreen with a zinc oxide base and an SPF of at least 15 every day, even if it's not hot or sunny.

TL;DR in English: Use hydroquinone cream. Try Retin-A. Look for products that contain salicylic and ellagic acid. Apply sunscreen before heading outdoors.

Greet your special person with a smile, and smile often while you are with her (without faking it). Smiling will not only make you feel happier, but it will make you sound happier and more positive. It will also let her know that you’re happy to see her, and that you’re interested in what she’s saying. Pay attention to what the person has going on in her life, like her hobbies and what she does at work or in school. Take note of people she frequently mentions; these people are probably important to her in one way or another.  Give the person your full attention, don’t play on your phone or computer. Giving someone your full attention makes them feel more heard and appreciated. Some common people are siblings, parents, grandparents, and close friends. She may also mention pets, children, or even classmates and colleagues. Try to learn about these people and their relationship with your special friend. Sometimes it is best to just listen, and not offer solutions. For example: your friend tells you that she’s frustrated with her basketball coach. Say something like, “That does sound really frustrating, I’m sorry you had to go through that.” Avoid saying things like, “I know exactly how that feels”, because chances are you don’t fully understand what she’s going through and it might make her feel bad. Instead, practice empathy by showing kindness and paying attention to the needs the other person expresses. This is a good time to reach back to things you've learned about your friend. Ask her about a specific person or event she mentioned last time you talked. Asking questions will show that you care about what she does and what she loves. Pay attention and try to remember the details of her stories. The next time you talk, ask her how these things are going. For example: You remember that she is very close with her brother, and the last time they hung out was over spring break when they went on a family trip to the beach. Ask her how her brother is doing, and if she has seen him lately. Maybe ask her if she's...

TL;DR in English: Smile. Listen. Ask about the person's life. Share a memory. Slightly touch the person often.

Blogs fall into various large categories, and considering some of these categories can help you narrow down your interests. Remember: for you to make money, people have to read your blog. Here are some popular blog genres:   Personal blogs. Successful personal blogs almost give readers the impression that they know you. They can feel like a lunchtime chat with the blogger, or an insight into their daily life. If you are good at expressing your personality online, this could be a good genre for you. For a good example, see “The Bloggess,” a blog that provides a humorous and entertaining look into the daily life of a woman with social anxiety.    Special Interest Blogs. These blogs can offer tips and tricks about your favorite hobby. They can share knowledge about a topic you’re passionate about. These work especially well if you have a unique perspective you can bring to your topic.  For a good example, see “Curly Nikki,” a blog by a Black woman who is passionate about helping other women learn to love their natural hair.  Another good example is the famous “Perez Hilton,” a phenomenally successful celebrity gossip blog focused on dishing the dirt about famous people.     Industry Blogs. These are specialized to a particular field or industry. They’re a good choice if you’re already an expert on something and want to share that expertise. Because you have to constantly stay on top of new information and developments in that industry, you need to make sure you’re comfortable with researching and understanding your topic. For a good example, see “The Copybot,” a marketing blog by copywriter Damien Farnworth. He tackles how to write the best copy for online sites with lots of concrete examples and helpful lists.    Political Blogs. If you have an informed perspective on politics you’d like to share, or you want to communicate your political views in an interesting, entertaining way, a political blog could be a good choice for you. Political blogs often take a particular “side,” but they don’t have to.  For...

If you are in an altercation, reaching out to an authority figure can keep you out of trouble. Schedule an appointment with your counselor and ask them for advice. You can explain your situation using fake names if that helps you feel more comfortable about opening up. You can reveal as much or as little as you choose. Overall, your counselor will just want to make sure that you are safe. There is no shame in asking your peers for help if you are in trouble. Call a friend that you trust. A friend can also have your back if you need them during the fight. Come up with a signal word between the two of you so that your friend will know right away if you're in trouble. If you are anticipating a fight and hope to avoid it, walk around with a large group of people or with a trustworthy friend. If you outnumber the bully or if there is a large audience, he or she will feel less emboldened to threaten or intimidate you. Trusted adults can give you helpful advice on how to handle a bully or how to evade a fight. Ask an adult you trust if they have ever gotten into a fight, and ask how they would handle the situation if they were in your shoes. Coaches, parents, and other mentors can give you tips on the best ways to defend yourself and won't judge you if you admit to feeling scared. Keep your life stress-free and get help from an adult who cares about your wellbeing. Remember that it's takes strength and bravery to try to avoid a fight altogether.

The secretary is usually responsible for taking meeting minutes, but if this is not the case for your organization, you will need to appoint someone to record the contents of the AGM.  Keep a record of any decisions made at the AGM, especially those regarding elections and changes to the organization's constitution. It can also be a wise idea to record the names and contact information of the attendees. You can do this by instructing the attendees to sign in as they arrive. Open the AGM with a formal greeting. During this greeting, make sure that the meeting agenda and annual reports are being distributed to the attendees.  Declare the meeting to be open. As you do so, state the organization's full name and the current AGM number (the twenty-second Annual General Meeting, the thirty-nine Annual General Meeting, etc.). Welcome all members and name any special visitors. If any officer or significant member is absent, you may want to briefly state the names of those absent after your welcome message.  You may invite other present members to make apologies on behalf of additional absent attendees, as well. Make a formal motion to accept the apologies. Verify that everyone has received a copy of the meetings from last year's AGM. Review these minutes and, when all issues are addressed, move to formally accept the minutes.  If there are any amendments or corrections that need to be made, they must be made before the minutes are accepted. After voting to accept the minutes, the chairperson will need to sign off on them. Topics that are related to the minutes from your previous AGM should be addressed immediately after those minutes are accepted. Discuss the matters as needed. This is usually a time to present concerns and observations, so formal motions may not be necessary. You will need to discuss the president's or chair-person's report, the secretary's report, and the treasurer's report.  Read and discuss each report one by one. After each report has been reviewed thoroughly, you should make a formal motion to...

TL;DR in English: Take minutes. Welcome the attendees. Make any necessary apologies. Review the previous meeting minutes. Introduce any new matters. Review the reports. Go through any elections. Discuss general business. Set a date for the next meeting. Close the meeting.

You have obviously have employees who are more experienced in your company and ones that are less experienced. Through a mentorship program, the more experienced employees can help the less experienced develop their strengths.  Decide whether the program will be voluntary or mandatory. If it's voluntary, you may want to offer incentives for joining the program. Try to pair employees with like skills. For instance, if you notice an employee with good written communication skills who, at the same time, could still use a little work, try pairing him with a more experienced staff member whose skills are excellent. When putting together teams of people to work on projects, consider how their skill sets would mesh. If you can, try putting people together who can learn from each other as they work together.  For instance, one team member may be good at numbers while another one is better at seeing the big picture. The numbers person can help the big-picture person pay attention to the details, while the big-picture person can help the numbers person look beyond the minutia, helping to develop new strengths. Another way of look at this step is to put more experienced members with less experienced members. That way, the experienced people can help the less experienced members develop their skills in the group. Job shadowing is when one employee goes about her job while another person follows her to see how it is done. The first person should provide some explanation of what she is doing as it is possible.  Shadowing helps employees learn or develop skills by watching someone more skilled at work. How long one employee shadows another employee depends on you, the employer, and what exactly you want the person shadowing to gain from the experience. For instance, if you just want him to get an idea of what the job is like, a day or so is probably fine. If you want him to spend time developing strengths, you probably want to let it go on for longer. Usually, a person lower in the hierarchy follows someone higher up, or...

TL;DR in English: Set up mentorship programs. Build teams mindfully. Try job shadowing. Use job rotation.

These are generally available at most large retail stores, but you may find more options at beauty supply stores. A waxing product such as Nair Roll-On Wax is a good choice because it has a roll-on applicator that dispenses an even amount of wax over the surface. These can be bought (sometimes coming with the wax) or homemade. It's a good idea to make strips of varying sizes (from 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm)). If you opted for the homemade route, search your closet for an old t-shirt or piece of cotton fabric. Cut it up into strips like you would any other material. Bonus -- if you take good care of them, you can use them again after a thorough washing (if your wax is water-soluble). This is super important--the wax needs to stick.  Trim the hair to 1/4 - 1/2 inch (.63 - 1.2 cm) for easiest removal.  Apply baby/talcum powder to the parts you´re going to wax. This makes the wax stick to the hair and NOT your skin, and significantly reduces the amount of pain. If you pain starts increasing, apply more powder. Especially if the environment you're doing it in is rather warm. Have a paper towel or cloth nearby. For waxes that dissolve in water, a damp cloth is fine. Otherwise, you may moisten a cotton ball with simple baby oil. That removes excess wax very well and leaves skin smooth. Apply the wax in the same direction the hair grows, in thin strips.  With one hand, stretch that skin taut. Use paper towels to grip the skin so that it does not slip. Rip off the wax with the other hand in the opposite direction to hair growth. Doing this gives you better results and hurts much less.  Do not apply too much wax as the waxing strips may not adhere to the hair. Place a mirror between your legs so that you can wax the areas you cannot see. A compact mirror is sufficient. Because the bikini area is very sensitive, it may take more than one session to remove all the hair.  Hair in some areas may be easier to remove than others. This is contingent upon how thick the hair is. You may have to stop if the area becomes too red and...

Even if you have enough fat in your diet, you still won’t absorb vitamin A well if you have a medical condition that limits your body’s ability to absorb the fats you eat. Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, disease of the liver or gall bladder, cystic fibrosis, and problems with your pancreas can affect your fat absorption. These will require treatment or additional vitamin A supplementation to get your RDA of vitamin A. How you absorb fat is also decreased if you have had part or all of your stomach removed, such as after certain kinds of weight-loss surgeries. Alcohol can interfere with your body’s ability to absorb vitamin A (and other needed nutrients).Stop drinking alcohol altogether, or limit your alcohol intake to, say, one glass daily to maintain good health and promote vitamin absorption. The prescription medication Orlistat is used to help people lose weight, but because of how it works it can interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamin A. Olestra, a fat substitute sometimes added to food, can cause similar problems. Avoid these if you require a vitamin A supplement. If you are at risk for vitamin A deficiency, speak to your healthcare provider about any medications that you are taking. Some cholesterol medicines called bile acid sequestrants, like cholestyramine and colestipol, can block vitamin A absorption; another kind of cholesterol medicine, called statins, can actually help vitamin A absorption. Omeprazole (Prilosec) is used for heartburn and reflux, and can cause absorption issues, as can the antibiotic Neomycin. Switching to different medicines with your doctor's advice can help. Discuss your medicines and your vitamins with your doctor, to avoid any interactions. Say something like, “My dietician wants me to take a vitamin A supplement. Will that cause any problems with the medicines you prescribe to me?”

TL;DR in English: Treat digestive conditions medically. Drink less alcohol. Avoid weight-loss medications. Change your medicines that block vitamin A absorption.

Most students of philosophy will need to read through philosophical readings several times before they fully understand them. As you advance in your studies, you may work out your own system of reading. At the start, however, it can be helpful to work through a reading four times.  During the first reading, look at the table of contents, key points, and/or glossary, then quickly scan through the passage itself. Move quickly, reading one page in roughly 30 to 60 seconds. Underline terms and ideas that jump out at you in pencil. Mark any unfamiliar terms, as well. For the second reading, flip through the text at a similar pace, but stop to look up any terms or phrases you do not recognize and cannot define by context. Your focus should still be on identifying key terms and ideas. Check off paragraphs you think you understand in pencil, and mark those you do not understand with a question mark or "x." During the third reading, go back to the sections you marked with a question mark or "x" and read them in greater detail. Check them off if you reach an understanding, or mark them with a second question mark or "x" if you do not grasp their meaning. During the fourth reading, quickly review the text again to remind yourself of the main focus and key arguments. If you're reading for class, identify the marked passages you had difficulty with so that you can ask questions. The only way to familiarize yourself with philosophy is to immerse yourself in the philosophical works of others. If you do not read philosophy, you will not be able to speak or write it.  When studying philosophy for a class or degree program, you should always do the readings assigned to you. Listening to others' interpretations of those readings in class is not a good substitution. You need to review and grapple with the ideas on your own instead of having others do the work for you. Reading on your own is also beneficial. As you become more familiar with different branches of philosophy, you can gradually begin selecting your own readings on...

TL;DR in English: Read through the text multiple times. Read as much as possible. Consider the context of the work. Determine the theses. Look for supporting arguments. Assess each argument. Evaluate the argument as a whole.

Start by identifying the year that you want to check and then get out a physical calendar or open an online calendar to check that year. If you are using an online calendar, then you should be able to look back or ahead by at least a few years.  For example, if you want to see if 2016 was a leap year, go back to that year’s calendar. If you want to check if 2021 is a leap year, go to that year online. Leap years always result in 1 extra day that is placed at the end of February, since this is the shortest month in the year. Turn to that month in the calendar and check to see if there is a February 29th listed. If there is, then it is a leap year. If February only goes through the 28th, then it is not a leap year. Each year lasts about 365 days and slightly under 6 hours. That extra 6 hours adds up to an extra day over the course of 4 years, which is why leap years occur almost every 4 years. Count ahead 4 years from the last leap year to estimate when the next leap year will be. For example, since 2016 was a leap year, you could count ahead 4 years to 2020 as a way to predict the next leap year.

TL;DR in English: Locate the year you want to know about in a calendar. Turn to February and see if there is a 29th day. Expect another leap year in 4 years.

Most canopies will include the stakes that should be used. If not, purchase a number of T-shaped metal stakes equal to the number of poles on your tent. Metal stakes can be purchased at hardware or outdoor goods stores. Place the sharp point of the stake through the hole at the bottom of the tent leg. Use a rubber mallet to pound the stakes completely into the ground. If you have sandy or loose soil, stakes will not hold the canopy secure. Use weights that are at least 20 pounds (9.1 kg) on each leg of your canopy. Though the stakes will hold tightly during small gusts of wind, they may loosen and pull out of the ground during stronger winds.  Sandbags can be purchased at hardware stores. Use dumbbells or other weights from home to save money. Grab the top of the stake with your hand and pull it straight up. You may have to wiggle it slightly back and forth to loosen it. Remove the stakes from each leg before you tear the canopy down. Some mallets have a stake hook on the ends of their handles to easily get leverage on the stake.

TL;DR in English: Use a heavy-duty metal stake for each tent pole. Drive the stake into the ground through the hole in the tent leg. Place sandbags or weights on the legs for added support. Pull the stakes from the ground to remove them.

Use the microwave if you need to thaw your pastry sheets as fast as possible. The puff pastry won't need to be microwaved or thawed if it can be folded easily. The pastry sheet should be cold to the touch when you use it. If the sheet is room temperature or warmer, return it to the fridge and give it some time to chill. Don't manipulate a pastry sheet that's not fully thawed as this could lead to the sheet tearing. Place the towels and pastry sheet on the plate in your microwave. Turn the microwave to the "high" setting and turn the microwave on for 15 seconds. When the 15 seconds are up, flip the paper towels and pastry sheet and turn the microwave on for another 15 seconds. If the pastry sheet doesn't fold easily after coming out of the microwave, place it back in on "high" for another 5 seconds on each side. Keep microwaving for 5 seconds on each side until the pastry sheet folds easily.

Studies show that significant alcohol intake can contribute to the development of breast cancer. Try to limit your alcohol intake to no more than one alcoholic drink per day. The carcinogenic properties of tobacco have been linked to a variety of different cancers, including breast cancer. If you smoke, talk to your doctor about the best way to reduce or eliminate your tobacco use. There is some evidence that your diet can affect your risk for breast cancer and other types of cancer. The Mediterranean Diet may be particularly helpful for reducing your risk of getting breast cancer. A good diet can also help you maintain a healthy weight, which is an important factor in breast cancer prevention. The Mediterranean Diet is recommended by the Mayo Clinic for breast and heart health. This diet focuses on plant based nutrition (fruits, vegetables, mixed nuts, and legumes), use of healthy fats (olive oil, canola oil), and a reduced intake of salt and red meat. Not only is exercise good for your body, but it helps you to maintain a healthy weight. Studies show that people who are physically active are less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Try to exercise at least four hours a week. Avoid radiation-based medical imaging techniques, like X-rays, CT scans, or PET scans, unless you and your doctor feel that they are medically necessary. Exposure to radiation can put you at risk for breast cancer and other types of cancer. Long-term exposure to hormones in hormone replacement therapy or hormonal birth control has been linked to an increased risk of developing breast cancer. If you are taking or considering birth control pills or other forms of hormone-based therapy, talk to your doctor about the potential risks and benefits. Discuss how you can limit or reduce the dose and duration of your therapy in order to minimize the risk of developing breast cancer. Not all mothers are able to breastfeed, but if it works for you and your child, breastfeeding can be beneficial to your breast health. Breastfeeding has been...

TL;DR in English: Reduce alcohol use. Avoid using tobacco. Maintain a healthy diet. Get plenty of exercise. Limit unnecessary exposure to radiation. Talk to your doctor about the risks of hormone therapy. Breastfeed, if you can.

Even the smallest amount of water can cause your chocolate to seize, or become dry, hard, and grainy. Before you get started, make sure your double boiler, cutting board, spoon, and any other tools you’ll use are clean, then dry them thoroughly. If you do happen to introduce a bit of water into the chocolate while melting, a little bit of vegetable oil will make the chocolate more usable, but it may still be grainy. Pour enough water into the double boiler to cover the bottom of the pot, but not so much that the water touches the top bowl. Then, turn your stove to medium and heat the water until it starts to steam.  If you don’t have a double boiler, place a glass, ceramic, or metal bowl over a pot of steaming water. Avoid using plastic, as it could melt or potentially release chemicals into the chocolate.  If the top bowl comes into contact with the hot water, the bowl might get too hot, scorching your chocolate instead of melting it.

TL;DR in English: Work with clean, dry kitchen tools and dishes. Fill the bottom of your double boiler with water and heat it.

It's important that you don't come on too strong with a new romantic interest. Text something light and innocent to start the conversation. For instance, you could say something like, “Hey, hope you're well. Just thinking about you” or “Hey, I can't stop thinking about that cute, boyish smile of yours.” Compliments are a great way to |increase intimacy and can act as a lead-in for more steamy conversations. Just make sure the compliment is sincere and something you think he'll appreciate hearing.  “Hey handsome!” is always a good start, especially if it's a relatively new relationship. Or you could try something funny and a little more bold like, “I can't stop laughing about our conversation the other night, I love how dirty-minded you are.” to gradually build up to more evocative topics. The key to turning him on is to start slow and work your way up (just as you would in person). Try to make him laugh, show him how funny/clever you are, and/or show him you care about him.  For instance, you might text, “I think that story you told me last night broke my abs from laughing too hard” or “How did your interview go today? Did they appreciate your sharp wit like I do?” Texting him something hot and heavy from the get-go can be awkward (and creepy if you don't know each other that well yet). Use what you're doing to shift the conversation to something more suggestive. You don't necessarily have to stick to the facts here—he won't know either way! For example, you might say, “I'm trying to work but can't stop thinking about this really sexy, smart man that I went out with last night…” If you're trying to turn him on, don't annoy him! If he's a new interest, he might think you're needy. And if he's a stable partner, he might get irritated instead of turned on. Don't send more than two texts back to back without a response.  If he doesn't respond, don't freak out and flood his messages. He's probably busy! If you overdo it and responds in a way that suggests he's annoyed or intimidated, take it as a lesson and be...

TL;DR in English: Start by texting something casual, especially if it's a new relationship. Text him a compliment to get his attention. Flirt Tell him what you're doing as a lead-in. Avoid sending a lot of texts back-to-back. Don't text him something naughty when you know it's an inappropriate time. Keep the conversation short to leave him wanting more. Avoid sending unsolicited nude pictures.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics reduce migraine pain by reducing blood vessel inflammation.  Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs include Naproxen and Ibuprofen. Analgesics include Aspirin and Acetaminophen. For this treatment to be most effective, you should take the painkiller within 30 minutes of your first migraine symptoms. It should still work even if you wait longer than that, but the migraine may last a bit longer. Avoid taking these drugs more than twice a week. Doing so can cause you to undergo rebound migraines once the medication wears off. Some non-prescription drugs combine simple analgesics with a low dose of caffeine. The caffeine narrows your blood vessels and makes these pain relievers more effective.  These drugs, such as Excedrin migraine, usually combine acetaminophen or aspirin with caffeine. Studies suggest that these drugs can work up to 20 minutes faster than drugs with no caffeine. As with other over-the-counter pain killers, you should take the drug within 30 minutes of your first symptoms and avoid taking the drug more than twice a week. These drugs work by constricting your blood vessels, thereby limiting the rush of blood to your head. Studies and trials suggest that many migraine sufferers experience significant relief within one hour of taking the drug, with complete relief coming in as little as two hours.  Avoid taking triptans more than 17 times per month. Doing so can cause you to experience rebound migraines since your body will become accustomed to existing on the drug. These medications can cause heart attack and/or stroke by constriction of the blood vessels. If you have heart-related problems or clotting abnormalities you should not use triptans. Triptans are clinically proven to be the number one most effective treatment for migraines. These prescription drugs also constrict the blood vessels in your brain. In addition to soothing the pain, they are also known to reduce the nausea and light sensitivity commonly associated with migraines.  These...

TL;DR in English: Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Try an over-the-counter pain reliever with caffeine. Get a prescription for triptans. Ask your doctor about dihydroergotamine or ergotamines.

If you’re wearing casual pants – light jeans or cargo pants – a wide belt is best. If you’re wearing dressier pants – dress pants, chinos, or dark denim – you should choose a narrower belt.  Wide here means around 1.5 in (3.8 cm). Narrow is around 1.25 in (3.2 cm). If you’re wearing black shoes, you should choose a black belt, regardless of width. The same goes for brown shoes – wear a brown belt.  If you can only afford 1 belt right now, pick a black one. Black will blend in with your pants and you can therefore wear it with pretty much anything. You can also get reversible belts, with 1 black side and 1 brown side, for more variety. Your pants should be in the same color family as your shoes. So black or dark blue pants with black shoes, and khakis or lighter gray pants with brown shoes. Width and color are the most important things to consider when matching your belt and your outfit. But matching the material of your belt and shoes will make you look even more put together! Wear a leather belt if you’re wearing leather shoes, a canvas belt if you’re wearing canvas shoes, and a suede belt if you’re wearing suede shoes.  If you’re dressed up, leather or suede shoes and belts are bets. If you’re going for a more casual look, a canvas belt with canvas shoes is fine.

TL;DR in English:


Reassure your date that you aren’t in a hurry if they feel apprehensive. Don't take rejection personally. Take your time introducing your date to your child. Find a good balance for co-parenting.

Brushing and flossing every day and after meals can maintain the health of your teeth, fillings, and gums. A clean environment may help you avoid further fillings as well as unsightly stains.  Make sure to brush and floss after meals if you can. If you have food stuck in your teeth, it promotes an environment that is rife for further cavities and can damage current fillings. If you don’t have a toothbrush, chewing a piece of gum can help.  Coffee, tea, and wine can stain your filling and your teeth. If you drink any of these beverages, Try to brush your teeth afterward to prevent staining. Tobacco and smoking can also stain your fillings and teeth. Sugary and acidic foods and beverages may contribute to your need for fillings, and controlling your intake of them can lead to better oral health. Tooth decay can easily occur underneath an existing filling. Over time fillings will naturally breakdown and leak, so it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and good hygiene to prevent decay from forming under existing fillings, too. Brushing your teeth after consuming these foods may help prevent you from needing further fillings.  If you can’t brush, because for example you're at school, then rinse your mouth with water. Increase your water intake. Limit your snacking frequency, avoid sticky foods. Eat a healthy and well-balanced diet of lean protein, fruits and vegetables, and legumes can help with your overall well-being, including oral health. Even some healthy foods are acidic, including citrus fruits. Continue eating these, but limit how much you consume and consider brushing your teeth when you’re done. Consider diluting juices with 50/50 water. Examples of sugary and acidic foods and beverages are soft drinks, sweets, candies, and wine. Sports drinks, energy drinks, and coffee with added sugar also count. If you have multiple fillings, ask your dentist to prescribe you a fluoride gel or paste. Fluoride helps to protect your teeth from new cavities and can promote general oral health Fluoride gel or paste...

TL;DR in English: Brush and floss every day, including after meals. Control your intake of sugary and acidic foods and beverages. Use fluoride gels. Avoid mouthwashes and toothpastes that contain alcohol. Don't grind your teeth. Get regular checkups and cleanings at your dentist’s office.

Cover the genital area with waterproof covering during the first few days, when taking a shower or bathing, and keep the area very clean when using the restroom. The wound needs to be kept dry to facilitate quick healing.  Your doctor will offer more specific instructions and topical medication, but in general you'll want to keep the area as clean and dry as possible. You may be catheterized for a few days after the procedure in order to aid in keeping the penis dry. Your doctor will remove your catheter once the healing has begun. Change your underwear throughout the day to keep the area very clean. Also wear loose fitting clothing around the area to keep air circulating regularly. Avoid tight fitting jeans, and consider some cotton short pants or other loose clothing. You can use surgical vaseline to keep the area from sticking to clothes or gauze. The doctor will probably prescribe analgesic cream or other topical ointments, and apply them regularly as directed. You may also want to add some petroleum jelly to the area to avoid chafing during your recovery.

TL;DR in English: Keep the area clean and dry. Wear loose cotton underwear. Use medication as directed.

When possible, avoid leaving your bike in areas with high incidents of bike theft. Your local bike shop or police department should know where the most bike theft occurs. People hanging around near a bike rack may be there to steal bikes or to tip off a bike thief as soon as you leave. Thieves know where commuters typically leave their bikes unattended for a full workday, and will be more confident about spending a long time to steal a bike. The more pedestrians there are, and the easier they can see your bike, the harder it is for a thief to unobtrusively break your locks. If possible, place your bike in view of a nearby building's video surveillance camera. Even if this fails to deter a thief, you may be able to obtain footage of the theft to aid in recovery. Don't assume that every bike rack is a safe option. Use an object with these attributes when locking your bike:   Thick and sturdy. Don't select a wooden fence or thin steel object that can quickly be cut apart.  Hard to disassemble. Check metal racks or railings for bolts; these can be removed by a dedicated thief.  Firmly fastened to the ground. A strong thief or a team of thieves could simply pick up and remove a heavy object with the bike attached. Shake signposts to test whether they are anchored firmly to the pavement.  Impossible to lift the bike over. A tall thief could simply lift your bike over the top of the object and take it home to remove the lock in private. Try to use something that is attached to the ground in two places, such as a sturdy bike rack, since a very dedicated thief could use a rope to hoist your bike even over a relatively tall object. The bikes at the end of a row of bikes are most visible to thieves but also the easiest for them to work on unobtrusively. Make sure you don't lock your bike to another bike with a careless cable lock.

TL;DR in English: Know the neighborhood. Try not to lock your bike in front of loiterers. Don't use a train station or other commuter location. Select a well-lit area with plenty of foot traffic. Find an immovable object for locking the bike. Lock your bike between other bikes when possible.

There should be at least 3 ft (910 mm) between the candle flame and the surface above it. If burning multiple candles, place them at least 3 in (76 mm) apart from each other. This prevents the candles from creating their own drafts. Flammable items include: hair, clothing, decorations, books, paper, carpet, furniture, bedding, or curtains. Tie up any drapes or curtains, and remove any excess fabric. Make sure the candle holder you use is designed for the particular candle style and large enough to collect molten wax. Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface. You can also use a non-flammable hurricane glass. Do not put your candle under an open window. Drafts or gusts of wind can potentially carry the flame and start a fire. If your candle is near an open window, close the window or move the candle. If your candle is in a drafty spot, relocate your candle somewhere without any drafts. Children or pets can accidentally hit the candle and create a fire. Candles, matches, and lighters should always be out of the reach of children or pets. You never want to leave a candle unattended. Staying within sight of the candle ensures that your property, your loved ones, and yourself are not in risk. It is helpful to inform others in your home when you are burning a candle. Always follow the candle manufacturer's recommendations on proper candle holders, burn times, and extinguishing. Do not exceed manufacturer suggestions. Make sure you read all of the directions on your candle before use. Every candle is different, and these are only guidelines for use. Smoke and fire detectors should be inspected annually to ensure they are working properly. Performing self-maintenance or professional reviews is important to make sure the devices are working properly to prevent any fires.

TL;DR in English: Place the candle in a well ventilated room. Remove your candle from anything flammable. Put your candle in a non-flammable candle holder. Check for any open windows or drafts. Place your candle away from the reach of children or pets. Keep your candle in sight at all times. Follow the candle manufacturer's suggestions. Perform routine fire detector tests.

If your date seems unsure about the idea of dating a single mom, but they also seem to really like you, let them know that you don’t have any expectations of them, and you’re not in a hurry to find your child a new parent. Try saying something like, “We’re doing fine on our own, but I think it’s really important for me to still enjoy adult relationships.” Sometimes, you might come across someone who’s just not ready to have a child in their life. This can be really hard, especially if you like the person a lot, but try to remind yourself that it doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you; it’s just the situation you’re both in. Respect their choice and keep looking for the person who’s right for you.  If a rejection is making you feel bad about yourself, boost your self-esteem by making a list of reasons why you're a great catch. Reread the list whenever you doubt your worth. Remind yourself that it’s best to find out early on if the other person isn’t interested in dating someone with a child. A rejection would hurt a lot more later, once you’re beginning to feel more invested in the relationship. Even if your date is totally cool with you being a single mom, you should still wait until you’re sure the relationship is stable and serious before you bring your date around your child. Usually, you should wait until you’ve been dating someone for a few months before setting up an introduction with your child.  Children form attachments easily, and it can be really hard on a child to have a steady stream of dates entering and leaving their life, especially if they’ve already experienced their parents splitting up. If you’re not sure where you stand, talk to your date to gauge how serious you are. A simple question like, "So, are we exclusive?" or "Where do you see this going?" can help you determine if you’re both on the same page. When it’s time, try to set up the meeting in a way that will make your child comfortable, like inviting your date over to your house for pizza and a movie. If the other parent hasn’t...
