Use chemicals specifically labeled for spider control. Look for an insecticide containing pyrethroids. Scatter boric acid. Spray outdoor pesticides around the perimeter of the home.

Place the filler flowers around the wreath in the same manner as the focal flowers. It looks best to be symmetrical. For example, you might want to attach one after each focal flower, a little to the left of center of one, then a little to the right of center of the next one. Continue until you've used up most of the flowers. Shorter ones will be attached at the top and bottom, just as before.  Allow a couple of the longer stemmed ones to extend past the edges of the wreath a little to give it a designer look. Hot glue two or three pieces of the flowers and some of the individual leaves into the folds of the bow. Place the filler berries, etc. that you chose in the same manner as you did the filler flowers, this time placing them before and to the right and left of your focal flowers. Again a couple can be glued into the bow. Don't forget to make sure a few pieces are sticking out of the outer edges and into the center of the wreath, not just on the flat surface. Make sure that the pipe cleaners that attach the ribbon are covered by flowers. These are called your "mechanics" and should be covered with these last pieces of flowers and greenery.  Make sure your pipe cleaner ends, etc. are all tucked into the wreath.  Don't forget to make sure that everything you put into the wreath is in the clockwise direction. This consistency is what makes your wreath look professional. Hang your wreath if you were working on a flat surface. Step back about 6 feet (1.8 m) and squint your eyes to "see" where your "holes" are. These are areas that lack color, fullness, or look somehow uneven. Attach your final embellishments, the picks, flags, etc., into the empty areas. Make sure to save one to go into the middle of your bow, you will glue it in and make sure it sticks out about 4 inches (10.2 cm), which will be the farthest thing of all to stick out of your wreath, making it the final focal point.  Any small leaves or pieces that you have left can be hot glued into the bow or other areas as desired. Replace the flowers and...

TL;DR in English: Attach any small accent flowers. Position any other decorations you’ve chosen. Finish and hide any unsightly pieces. Take a last look. Hang your wreath and enjoy!

Many crystal glasses have a dishwasher safe label. If yours do not, check with the manufacturer or research online to find out if they can be put in the dishwasher. Crystal manufacturer Riedel notes that their glasses are used in hotels around the world and are thus cleaned in professional dishwashers. If you cannot find any information, err on the side of caution and wash by hand. Ensure your glasses, bowls, or other crystal items have enough space. You don’t want them touching, as they could jostle and bump into each other causing damage during the dishwashing cycle. Don’t overcrowd or overload the dishwasher, and be sure any long-stemmed glasses fit securely in the rack. Don’t start the dishwasher until your crystal has had time to come to room temperature. Sudden changes in temperature, such as heating a chilled glass, can cause breakage or damage to crystal. Don’t add extra detergent in the hopes of getting your crystal extra clean. Excessive detergent can leave a cloudy film on your crystal. Follow the recommendations for your dishwasher and detergent, taking into account whether you have hard or soft water. Start your dishwasher and allow it to run its normal cycle. Don’t interrupt the cycle or open the door in the middle of cleaning. Allow the dishes to cool before opening the door to the dishwasher. This will also let your crystal dry in case the dish-washing cycle didn’t fully dry the crystal. Depending on your dishwasher and water temperature, this could take several hours. You may want to wear gloves or remove the crystal with a lint-free cloth to prevent smudging and fingerprints. You can also use the lint-free cloth to remove any left-over water spots.

TL;DR in English: Ensure your crystal is dishwasher safe. Load the dishwasher carefully. Allow crystal to warm up. Use a small amount of detergent. Run the dishwasher. Let the crystal cool. Remove the crystal carefully.

Take the overlapping ends and mark each of them 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) from where they overlap each other. Use a piece of chalk to make these marks. If your binding is narrower or wider than 2.5 inches (6.4 cm), then use half the width to determine where to mark the ends. Cut the binding at the marks to remove the excess fabric. Cut straight across the marks on the overlapping pieces. Unfurl the binding and then line the binding pieces up. Make sure the print sides of the binding strips are facing each other and the pieces are perpendicular to each other. The end of one strip should be even with the side of the other strip. The overlapping ends will form a square. Stitch a diagonal line across the square.  This will create a diagonal stitch line that connects the two ends and creates a triangle of excess fabric that you can cut off. Do not stitch across the square going from the outside of the binding to the inside. Stitch across the square diagonally going from side to side. Cut just outside of the stitch line that runs diagonally across the square to remove the excess triangle of fabric. Then, open up the binding strips to reveal the right sides of the binding fabric again. Your strips should be connected by a diagonal seam, which allows you to sew the binding onto your quilt without the raw edges of the seam showing. After you have finished closing up the binding, you will need to attach the binding to the edges of your quilt. Pin the binding to your quilt so that the right sides of the binding and the right sides of the quilt are facing each other. Then, sew a straight stitch 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the edges of the quilt going through the quilt and binding. After sewing the binding all the way around the quilt, fold the binding over to the opposite side of the quilt so there is an even amount of binding on both sides of the quilt. Then, sew a straight stitch into the seam you have created to secure the other side of the binding.

TL;DR in English: Mark the binding 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) from the overlap for 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) binding. Cut the binding where you have marked it. Match up the print sides of the binding ends so the pieces are perpendicular. Stitch across the square from one corner to the other. Cut off the excess fabric and open up the binding. Sew the binding onto the edges of your quilt.

Sometimes a more earnest response is a better one — an insulting comeback can end up provoking more of the same (or worse). You still, however, need to show the bully that you aren't hurt by his words, even if you are.  Take a deep breath. If you are angry, try to let the feeling go. Anger is what the bully wants to see, so don't give in and show it. Try to put on a "poker face" that doesn't reveal any feelings one way or the other. You can practice this in the mirror at home to make this easier. When you respond to the bully, show that you are confident. It's not just that you aren't angry or hurt — you feel fine about yourself and and confident in your response.  Stand up straight, and look the bully in the eye. Speak in a calm, clear voice. You can tell the person insulting you something like: "Your words don't affect me," or, "I don't let people like you get to me." Respond verbally with a comment that shows that the insult hasn't hurt you, or that the bully's words are unimportant to you. Here are some good examples:  I heard you, but I don't care. You're wasting your breath. Real mature. Are you done? Wow, you discovered I look different than you. You might consider a response that promotes feelings of shame for the bully. Ideally, you can make her feel bad for insulting you. Here are some examples:  I feel sorry for you. Build up your self-esteem some other way. Your parents must be really proud of you. It's sad that you feel a need to do this. Some people have found it effective to respond to insults with questions aimed at making the other person open up about the real problem. If you think the person insulting you might be open to a conversation about the real issues that are upsetting him, this might be worth a try. For example, if someone calls you stupid, you might respond by asking: "What is it exactly that makes you feel I am not intelligent?" Even if this doesn't start a heart-to-heart conversation about the bully's own feelings of inadequacy or jealousy, it might disarm him just by being unexpected.

TL;DR in English: Take a breath. Act confident. Show you aren't hurt. Consider shaming the other person. Ask questions to start a conversation.

Since spiders are not insects, many generic insecticides may not have a strong effect against wolf spiders.  A pesticide specifically labeled for wolf spiders is even better, but most chemical products designed to work against spiders will work effectively. Chemicals designed to kill spiders immediately will only exterminate spiders already in the home. These measures should be used in conjunction with measures designed to prevent wolf spiders from sneaking in for maximum effectiveness. Residual chemicals provide more long-term effectiveness and may be more helpful if you have difficulty preventing spiders from getting into the building. Residual pesticides sprinkled on the ground work better against wolf spiders than many other spider varieties. Many spiders travel along webs and walls, and as a result, they rarely cross over barriers made with residual pesticides. Wolf spiders hunt on the ground, however, so they are more likely to step into a residual pesticide. These usually include residual insecticides that are sprayed or sprinkled.  Pyrethroids are a family of chemicals made from pyrethrum flowers. Insecticides made with pyrethroids are common and usually the most effective against spiders of all varieties. Common pyrethroids used in household insecticides include bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, permethrin, and tetramethrin. Aside from pyrethroid insecticides, insecticides containing deltamethrin, cypermethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, or bifenthrin are also generally effective against wolf spiders. Sprinkle a small amount of boric acid in dark corners, cracks, and under floorboards and furniture.  Boric acid, also called hydrogen borate, is a white powder used for insecticidal, industrial, and other purposes. It is relatively non-toxic for adult humans, but it may pose a threat to children and pets. The chemical is abrasive, cutting into the exterior of the wolf spider and causing it to leak bodily fluids. It also acts as a stomach poison. The spider gets it on its legs and ingests the poison as it grooms itself....

It will feel good to finally sort some stuff out. tart reading a good book. Think about the plot and characters and what it is about the story that moves you. National Geographic Kids or Nickelodeon might be a little childish, but reading them will make you feel better because they will give you something to do without having to think too hard. It may sound weird but it's really interesting to hear what you have to say to yourself. Drink something warm like a honey and lemon  drink, and have a stack of old magazines available.

Every bro's gotta have a code. It's the thing that unites and binds and solidifies the concept of the bro, separating bro from the common beasts and squirrels of the world. Your bro code is up to you and your bros, as well as the punishments for transgressing, but a few rules are generally universal when it comes to bros.  Never mess with your bro's date, sister, or mother Always have a bro's back Always take wingman responsibilities seriously Bros won't make other bros look bad in front of girls Bros don't let bros drive drunk Bros gotta stick together. The number one requirement for being a bro? Surround yourself with other brosephs, brahs, and brosiehs. Get a close-knit community of friends to hang out with and support each other. Leave no bro behind.  Lots of bros join fraternities in college, but it's not a requirement. Wherever you can, find like-minded male friends that you can bond with on a deep level. That might mean joining a fraternal organization of some kind, but you can also find male friends at work, church, the garage, or school. Intramural sports are great for meeting guys with similar interests. Likewise, if you're a gym rat, hang around the weight room to meet up with lifting buddies. You can have some school bros, some gym bros, a different set for every situation. When two bros meet, they don't shake hands like a couple of preachers. And they certainly don't hug. They bro-shake. It's like a combination hug, high-five, and arm-wrestling match. In other words, perfect for bros.  To execute the bro shake, high-five your friend about chest high, at a 45 degree angle, grasping his hand as if you were about to arm-wrestle. Don't let go. Flex your guns. Think of the bicep-bulging scene in Predator where Schwarzenegger meets Carl Weathers. Next, keeping your hands grasped, use your other hand to pat your bro's back one time, hard, in a half-embrace. Your arm-wreslte hand-shake will still be between you, so it won't be a full on hug. A bro-hug, a bro-shake, whatever you want to call it, it's...

TL;DR in English: Live by a bro code. Find your neighbors and build up a brommunity. Learn the proper bro-shake. Be reliable. Say what you mean. Always be rallying. Find bro inspirations. Try to make every day epic.

Just because you aren't a big company, that doesn't mean you shouldn't have a vivid professional brand.  Here are a few points to consider:  Decide whether you will use your own name or work under a business name. Don't be afraid to invest in business cards, a logo, uniforms and a sign to put outside your home or business. Make sure all of them are consistently branded. Make it clean and professional. Use a logo or imagery that conveys your business or service. Include details about your offering and your prices and try to demonstrate your skills. If you are a designer or a writer, put up samples of your work. Let people know how to contact you. Actively marketing your services is vital to get your name out there, and it shows prospective clients that you're available for work.  Consider these avenues:  Investigate online advertising.  This could include setting up social media accounts for your business, sending emails with special offers, or signing up for ads. Pursue print publishing.  Buy up space in your local newspaper, or find a trade publication that caters to people in your industry and pursue an ad there. If there are publications or web pages that compare different contractors who offer the same services, make sure to get yourself listed. Describe your services in brochures. You can hire a professional to make them for you, or build them yourself using software like Microsoft Word or Open Office. Consider enlisting the help of a copywriter to highlight your unique skills and strengths. The right connections can make all the difference in running your own business.  Attend networking events and join organizations. If you work mostly locally, consider joining your city's chamber of commerce.  Notify other contractors in your field about your availability—and find out their's. If another contractor is too busy to take on a gig, they might pass the client on to you. Do the same for them, when you can. Partner with those that can send you business leads. For example, if you are a copywriter, connect...

TL;DR in English: Establish your brand. Create a website. Advertise. Network with other professionals. Inform your personal network of your availability.

Go down on your left knee and place your right foot straight in front of you, as if you were doing a cheat version of the splits. Touch your right foot with both hands and then try to touch your knee with your forehead. Hold this pose for at least 15 seconds.  Bring your left arm over your body and try to touch your right foot. Hold this position, then turn as far as you can to the right and hold again. All of your muscles work in tandem together – so stretching your other muscles (like your leg and core muscles) will help improve back flexibility. Having a strong core will allow you to work on your back flexibility by being able to engage in more poses and stretch further into your poses. Go into a lunge position and push your pelvis down towards the ground. If you feel pressure or pain, lessen the degree of your lunge. Sit back onto your bended knee and stretch out your front leg. Try to put your forehead to your front knee – you should feel a stretch in your hamstring. From this position, try slowly going down into the splits. Go down as far as you can without hurting yourself and hold this position for 30 seconds. Remember that all of your muscles work together to make one strong body – so a flexible, strong back requires flexible, strong muscles in other parts of the body as well. If you can't quite get down into the splits or reach all the way to your toes, that's fine. The more you practice and work on your stretches, the more flexible you'll become. Don't try to force yourself too hard into stretches you can't handle. You don't want to injure yourself.

TL;DR in English: Try a standing split stretch. Work your way down to floor splits. Adjust the stretches to suit your specific needs.

In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has limited authority to regulate cosmetics, but it can legally regulate color additives in cosmetics (as well as foods and drugs).  Color additives require prior approval from the FDA before the products can legally be manufactured or sold in the U.S. Although there are some variations, the typical limit for lead in a color additive is 20 parts per million, which is well within recognized safe parameters under normal use.  A listing of FDA-permitted color additives is available at http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/Labeling/IngredientNames/ucm109084.htm. Eyeliners known by names including kohl, kajal, and surma have long been popular in many parts of the world, and occasionally appear for sale in the U.S.  However, these eyeliners contain high amounts of lead and are not approved for sale or use in the U.S.  The danger of these products is real — they have been linked to cases of lead poisoning in children. These eyeliners are on an FDA “import alert,” meaning they can be seized by FDA field personnel to prevent sale or distribution. Most hair dye products, and especially progressive hair dyes that darken hair color over time, use color additives that are subject to FDA approval.  They typically contain lead acetate, and are permitted by the FDA to have much higher concentrations of lead than is typically allowed for color additives. The FDA contends that, when used as intended, the elevated lead content in these products is not a health concern because the product does not enter the body.  However, the products must contain this special label on the packaging: "Caution: Contains lead acetate. For external use only. Keep this product out of children's reach. Do not use on cut or abraded scalp. If skin irritation develops, discontinue use. Do not use to color mustaches, eyelashes, eyebrows, or hair on parts of the body other than the scalp. Do not get in eyes. Follow instructions carefully and wash hands thoroughly after use." Lipstick is the most common cause for...

Rest your voice. Keep hydrated. Gargle with an antiseptic solution. Suck on lozenges. Breath moist air. Avoid whispering. Avoid throat irritants.

Reflexology is based on the premise that the nerves in your feet, hands and ears each correspond with other parts of your body. Applying pressure to certain reflex areas can relieve symptoms in other parts of the body. Engaging a nerve in your big toe, for example, could reduce tension in your head and relieve a headache. Applying pressure to your heel could aid in digestion. Reflexology has even been used to aid in treatment for serious conditions like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Research has shown that reflexology has four primary effects:  It can impact specific organs, such as by increasing blood flow to the kidneys. It can bring about an amelioration of specific symptoms by helping organs function properly. It can create a relaxation effect and reduce anxiety. It can relieve pain throughout the body. Reflexology is based on the idea that the body can be divided into zones. Picture your body divided into a system of longitudinal and transverse zones. Imagine five zones on each side of your body, starting at the tip of each toe, and running up the length of your body to the top of your head. The transverse zones (similar to lines of latitude) divide the areas of your feet into zones that correspond to your head and neck, your chest, abdomen and your pelvis area. Engaging the tip of a particular zone by applying pressure to a place on the foot activates the body's healing power for that entire zone. This concept is also referred to as zone therapy.  When you perform reflexology, it's necessary to learn where the reflexes are on the feet that correspond to every limb, organ and gland of your body. When you apply pressure to these specific points, you stimulate the corresponding limb, organ or gland. In this way you can use reflexology to stimulate your body's healing power. When your body is experiencing stress, your energy reserves get depleted and you are less able to fight infections or combat pain. But when your body is in a deeply relaxed state induced by reflexology, your body’s natural healing...

TL;DR in English: Learn the fundamentals of reflexology. Understand reflexology zones. Consider making an appointment with a reflexologist. Practice applying pressure to reflex points.

For thick buildup on porcelain surfaces, you’ll need to use something a little more heavy-duty. Use a product like Comet or Ajax that comes in powdered form. The small particles will be able to penetrate deeper into stains that have set up on the surface of the tub to remove them.  Powdered cleansers contain chemicals known as surfactants which have mild abrasive properties. This makes them much more effective for addressing hardened, stuck-on residue.  Apply abrasive cleansers sparingly. For most jobs, a single canister be enough for a single thorough cleaning. Alternately, tough stains like rust and hard water residue can be treated with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar. Blend the two ingredients together until they're about the same consistency as cake frosting and spread them directly over the stains. After 10 minutes, buff the stains with a nylon brush or pumice stone until they're erased completely.  Homemade concoctions like hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar will be preferable for those who are wary of the health and environmental effects of chemical cleaning products. Hydrogen peroxide will also help treat age-related discoloration and lighten the finish of the tub. A moderate dusting should be enough to deal with most messes. The powder won’t stick to the surface of the porcelain on its own, but when combined with a liquid it will form a paste that can be spread directly over stains. Be sure to cover the bottom of the tub, where accumulated mold can become a slipping hazard. Spray purified or ordinary tap water onto the cleaning powder. With the addition of moisture, the powder will take on a thick, foamy consistency. Rub this paste into the stains and give it about half an hour to take effect.  You can also wet a clean sponge or washcloth and use it to rub in the cleaner until it thickens.  Another option is to wet the tub before you apply the cleanser. Spray the tub with the shower head or fill a cup with water and pour it around the inside of the tub. Be careful not to add an...

TL;DR in English: Pick up a canister of abrasive cleaning powder. Stick with natural alternatives. Sprinkle the cleaning powder around the stained tub. Add enough water to produce a paste. Scour the stains with a sturdy scrubber.

The plastic bag will need to cover the entire length of your dog. Look for a garbage bag that will be the right size for your dog, depending on whether you have a small, medium, or large dog. If possible, use a thicker garbage bag, such as a heavy duty garbage bag, for durability and to make the poncho more resistant to water. To make the plastic poncho, you will need a pair of scissors and a marker that is a different color than the color of the plastic bag. You will use the marker to note where you will cut the bag when you measure the bag against the shape and size of your dog. You will need to lay the bag down flat on the ground and cut it, so look for an area in your home or your backyard that is open and easy to move around in. You will also need your dog to stay in one spot while you measure the bag against his body so you may want to choose a spot in your home that you dog is comfortable in or likes.

TL;DR in English: Choose a small garbage sized plastic bag. Gather the rest of the supplies. Find an open area.

Everyone's morning routine will be different and personal. A lot depends on what you would like to accomplish in the morning.  Ask yourself questions. Do you want to shower in the morning or at night? If you're going to shower in the morning, will you need to blow dry your hair? Do you want to put on a full face of make up in the mornings or just wash your face and go? Breakfast gives you energy for your day and is the most important meal in a day. Think you are doing yourself good by not eating breakfast, then you are wrong. It helps prevent a crash later on in the afternoon.  Know how long your breakfasts take. Would you rather make a big breakfast of eggs and bacon or have a bowl of cereal? Give yourself a generous amount of time so that you won't have to rush through breakfast and in that generous time, eat a generous amount of food like yogurt, egg, bacon, bread, fruits or any other home-made snacks. Don't forget to add an extra three minutes to brush your teeth afterwards. It can be nice to schedule in a few minutes to read a chapter in a book, check text messages, or scroll through Instagram. Break is important as it helps process the things learned, tried and done after a period of time.  This can help you ease into your day, and scheduling it into your routine will ensure that you don't fall behind when getting ready. Make sure you do this out of bed. Sit at your desk or kitchen table, so you don't risk falling back asleep without an alarm to wake you up. An important part of the routine is the order that you complete the steps. Think about what will be easiest and most efficient for you personally. Make a timetable and stick to it, no matter what. It will keep things more organized and smooth.  For example, put on your outfit for the day before you eat breakfast. That way you'll already feel like you've made progress getting ready, and you won't feel rushed while eating. Make your leisure time the ending of your routine. This will help motivate you and give you something to look forward to. Consider...

TL;DR in English: Determine your getting ready goals. Plan for breakfast. Add a few minutes of leisure. Create an order that works for you. Calculate your official wake up time. Set your alarm. Write it down.

Most cases of hoarseness are caused by talking too much, particularly if you have to constantly raise (strain) your voice to be heard — noisy restaurants/bars, concerts and industrial environments can easily trigger a short-term bout of laryngitis; however, laryngitis from overuse heals pretty quickly, so resting your voice for a day or two is often the most important first step in getting your voice back.  If you find yourself at a noisy venue, either talk less or get closer to the ear of  the person you're trying to converse with. Avoid shouting and having to repeat yourself. In addition to hoarseness or voice loss, other symptoms of laryngitis include: a dry throat, sore throat, a tickling sensation in the throat that triggers a dry cough, and mucous build-up in the throat. Keeping yourself well-hydrated will keep the mucus membranes of your throat moist, which helps to reduce inflammation and discomfort. With less irritation, you'll find yourself coughing and clearing your throat less often — which are factors that can prolong bouts of laryngitis/hoarseness. Avoid carbonated water because it can further tickle your throat and trigger a coughing spell.  Start with drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of purified water per day to rehydrate yourself and keep the mucus membranes of your throat/larynx moist. Dairy-based beverages can thicken mucus. Sugary drinks may increase mucus production and should be avoided. Consider warming some water (not too hot) to loosen nasal and throat congestion, adding a little honey and lemon. Honey can soothe a sore or irritated throat, while lemon juice is a mild antiseptic that can combat infections, as well as clear mucus from your throat. Infections of the throat can also lead to laryngitis. Viral infections are the most common, although bacterial and fungal (Candida) infections can trigger hoarseness also. If you suspect your laryngitis is caused by an infection, then gargle with antiseptic solutions that are able to kill a variety of microorganisms. A 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a...

TL;DR in English:


Monitor your portion sizes. Reduce your alcohol intake. Don’t use cigarettes as an appetite suppressant. Increase the amount of calories you burn through exercise.

Read up on current issues and events in the newspaper and legitimate online sources. Don't rely on information from your social media feed. Make an effort to seek out other sources for news and stay in the know about what’s happening in the world around you.  When you learn about current events, discuss them with your parents or other adults. You might say, “What do you think about the president’s new bill, Dad?” Look at online sources like CNN Student News, BBC News, and Smithsonian Tween Tribune. Read the newspaper in the mornings and check out a few academic journals from the library on topics you’re interested in. Whether you are reading a book about real-world facts or made-up stories, reading can be a great hobby. Reading a book not only makes you wiser, but also adds new words to your vocabulary. This helps you improve your ability to comprehend and even enhances your own writing skills. Plus, reading can help you relieve stress, too. Go beyond the reading assignments needed for school. To enjoy the habit of reading, choose books that relate to your interests, such as airplanes or ancient Egypt. Critical thinking skills describe the way you go about solving a problem. You might jump at the quickest answer that comes to mind, or you might spend more time viewing all angles of the problem before selecting an answer. Being a critical thinker can help you better judge the consequences of your actions, evaluate the validity of information, and learn to think outside the box. A great way to build critical thinking skills is by playing board games. Schedule a game night with your family and/or closest pals. Good board game options include Apples to Apples and Scattergories.

TL;DR in English: Stay informed on current events. Read books. Use your  critical thinking skills.

If someone sent you a communication with offensive language, then you should hold onto it. That evidence could be critical to a sexual harassment case. Preserve the following types of communications:  voice mails emails handwritten notes Sometimes sexual harassment happens in private. In these situations, only two people observed the conduct—you and the harasser. As best as you can, you should document what happened and what was said.  Try to be sufficiently detailed. The more detail you can provide, the more credible you will appear.  Include all important details, such as the date and location of the harassment, as well as the identity of the harasser and your own emotional response. Also note the date that you are writing down your memories. Other people may have seen the harassment and can serve as witnesses to back up your story. Whoever investigates your claim will also want to talk to your coworkers, so you should identify those with relevant information.  You should also identify people who saw you immediately after the incident or people who you told about the harassment. If other people were harassed in the same manner by the same person, then you should identify them as well. You might be seeing a doctor or therapist to help you deal with the harassment. If so, then document your visits. You should also hold onto any records which contain a diagnosis.

TL;DR in English: Preserve communications. Write down your memories. Identify witnesses to the behavior. Document the effects on your health.

Kim wears tight, form fitting clothes, and jeans are no exception. Get some skinny jeans to look like Kim. If skinny jeans don't fit your body shape, wear form fitting jeans with tapered ankles.  Frayed, raw hems on jeans are a staple Kim look. Go for large, bold holes in your jeans to show off those legs.  Kim frequently wears light denim instead of darker denim. Don't be afraid to rock the lighter jeans. She also often wears denim shirts and cut off denim shorts. However, Kim wears pants in every color of the rainbow, from orange to black. Don't forget leggings. Skinny jeans are only one way to show off those legs. Leggings are another staple of Kim's wardrobe that you should wear. Don't be afraid of wearing white, no matter what time of year. Time and time again, Kim goes out wearing white outfits. She wears white shirts, white dresses, and white coats while going out to dinner and events.  Kim's not afraid to match a white blazer with a white t-shirt. She's has worn white jackets in multiple styles, so to look like Kim, buy yourself a staple white blazer.  Kim often wears white shirts with her outfits. These white shirts range from v-neck tailored shirts, soft t-shirts, sheer tanks, and embroidered tops. The important thing is that they're white.

Keep track of how many servings you eat and avoid going back for seconds. If you need to, measure the amounts of food with a measuring cup to train yourself to correctly estimate amounts.  Some people find it helpful to use a small plate or bowl to prevent themselves from taking too much food. Don’t eat the entire meal when you go out to eat. Restaurants often serve much more food than is healthy. If you enjoyed the meal, take it home and finish it the next day. Alcohol is high in calories. Drinking too much may make you prone to obesity, which will then increase your risk of heart problems. If you drink, do so in moderation.  Women and men over 65 should have no more than one drink per day. Men under 65 should limit their alcohol consumption to two drinks per day. A 12 oz beer, 5 oz glass of wine, or 1.5 oz of hard liquor qualifies as a drink. Many people are reluctant to quit smoking because they are worried it will make them gain weight. Smoking and chewing tobacco increase your risk of having hard, narrow arteries. This increases your blood pressure, your risk of heart attacks, heart disease, and strokes. If you need help to both quit and manage your weight simultaneously, there are many resources available:  Talk to your doctor or see a counselor Consult a nutritionist or dietician to develop a meal plan that will work for you Join support groups or call hotlines Discuss medications or nicotine replacement therapy with your doctor Exercise will help you to lose weight and keep it off. It will also help you to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.  Do 75–150 minutes of physical activity per week. You can spread it out however it works best with your schedule. Great low-cost options include walking, running, biking, swimming, and playing sports such as basketball or soccer. If you need to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol, try to do at least 40 minutes of physical activity three to four days a week. You will probably be surprised how quickly you feel yourself getting fitter.

Look on blogs, social media sites or even simple search engine queries for images of Jade West’s outfits on the show. Her character dresses simply but with a distinct sense of style favoring dark colors over pastels or light colors, balancing a feminine yet gothic sensibility  Notice how Jade combines a solid yet detailed bottom -- like blue jeans -- with a patterned top. She keeps the focus on the details by pairing the distressed denim with solid colored checkers. The large squares prevent the outfit from looking too busy while providing a fun and edgy look. By keeping the shirt unbuttoned, the look remains casual and young. Using the solid black tank top underneath plays up the black in the buttoned shirt without being too dressy. Examine how she accessorizes using variety. Jade will choose a basic accessory color and run with it by applying the color and it's neighbouring shades to her belt, shoes, and jewelry. In order to keep her look polished, she maintains the desired shades into her nail polish. Her accessories have clearly been thought of as a finishing piece to her outfit, and are put together carefully.

You should focus on identifying your performance issues so you can then address them successfully. Start by asking the reviewer or your boss questions to clarify any notes in your performance review. In your questions, request concrete examples of what you can do better in the future so you can take real action.  For example, you may notice the reviewer notes you do not take enough risks in your current role. You may then ask, “Can you provide an example of a time when I should have taken a risk? What could I have done differently to take more initiative?” Another example may be a comment in your review of not hitting the performance targets for your department. You may then ask, “What level of performance would you consider a success? How can I achieve this performance for my department?” You should then take some time to reflect on the feedback given to you in the performance review. Thank the reviewer for feedback and then go home and think on what they had to say. Read over the review in detail and allow yourself to digest the feedback.  You may ask yourself, “How can I address this feedback in my day to day actions?” or “What can I do differently moving forward?” Asking yourself clarifying questions can make it easier for you to understand and accept the feedback. You may want to reach out to your colleagues and your friends for advice. Discussing the negative review with others can help you put the feedback into perspective and better understand where you went wrong. Try to talk to friends who are in a professional career that is similar to yours or to a peer who has experience with negative performance reviews in the past. If you are dealing with a negative performance review, be careful not to vent about the review to people you work with, especially if you are not close with them or you do not have a trusting relationship. You do not want word to get back to your boss that you are complaining about your bad performance review. Depending on your company’s policy, you may be placed on probation and...

TL;DR in English: Ask clarifying questions. Reflect on the feedback. Create a performance plan. Request feedback on a regular basis. Consider if the position is not the right fit for you.

Lay your paper vertically so you can fit the entire tower on your sheet. Use a pencil and ruler to make a straight vertical line in the center of the page to use as your guide. Since the Eiffel Tower is symmetrical, it will look the same on both sides of the line. Make sure there’s a small gap between the top and bottom of the page and the center line so you have room to draw the tip and legs of the tower.  Work lightly so you can easily erase your marks if you make a mistake. You can work with your paper horizontally, but you won’t be able to draw your tower as tall as you would if it was vertical. The top of the Eiffel Tower has a viewing platform and antenna that are shaped like a square and triangle when you look at them from the front. Draw in a small square that’s about the size of your thumb nail at the top so the line goes through the middle of it. Once you have the square drawn, put a triangle with a steep point on top of it for the antenna. Don’t draw the square and triangle too big or else you won’t be able to draw the rest of the tower proportionally correct. Find the halfway point of the center guide and make a narrow horizontal rectangle that’s about twice the width of the square. Then find the halfway point between that rectangle and the bottom of the line so you know where to place the second rectangle. Make the second rectangle about twice the length of the first one. Place your pencil on one of the bottom corners of the square on top. Draw a curved line down so it goes through the top corner of the upper rectangle and ends at the top corner of the lower rectangle. Repeat the process from the other bottom corner of the square on the opposite side of your tower. Don’t extend the curved lines all the way to the bottom of the page since the legs on the bottom of the Eiffel Tower are straighter. Start your lines about a third of the way down the center guide for your tower. Draw a line on one side of the guide so it follows the same curve as the line you just drew. End the curved line so it’s...

TL;DR in English: Draw a straight guide line down the middle of your paper. Put a square with a triangle on it on top of the line. Sketch in 2 horizontal rectangles perpendicular to the line for the viewing platforms. Make curved lines from the corners of the square to the corners of the bottom rectangle. Draw curved lines that are parallel to the first ones you drew so they come from the center. Put in 45-degree angled lines coming down from the bottom rectangle. Add an upside-down curve between the tower’s legs to connect them. Sketch horizontal lines between the parallel curves to make the girders. Draw an X in each rectangle of the girders. Finished.

After a person gets the chickenpox virus, that virus will stay with them, sometimes resulting in outbreaks of a rash and blisters. The most common symptoms of shingles are:  Headache Flu-like symptoms Sensitivity to light Itching, irritation, tingling, and pain where a rash starts developing, but only on one side of the body Knowing the symptoms of each stage can help you doctor evaluate how to best treat your case.  Stage 1 (before the rash): itchiness, tingling, numbness or pain develops in the area where the rash will eventually develop. Diarrhea, stomach ache, and chills (usually without fever) accompany this dermal irritation. Your lymph nodes may be tender or swollen. Stage 2 (rash and blisters): a rash will develop on one side of your body, with blisters forming eventually. The liquid in the blisters starts off clear but eventually gets cloudy. If a rash develops around the eyes, see a doctor immediately. The rash and blisters are sometimes accompanied by intense stinging pain. Stage 3 (after the rash and blisters): pain may develop in the area affected by the rash. This pain is called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), and it may last a matter of weeks or even years. PHN is associated with extreme sensitivity, chronic pain, as well as aching or burning sensations. If you receive immunosuppressive drugs, such as steroids, after an organ transplant, you are at a higher risk of getting shingles. If you suffer from the following conditions, you are also at a higher risk:  Cancer Lymphoma Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Leukemia

Engaging manual mode on your garage door while it’s open may cause it to come crashing closed if the door spring is damaged. Avoid this by setting it to manual mode while the door is closed. If this is impossible because the door is stuck open, move on to the next step. Use 2x4s that are as high as the garage door opening. If you don't have 2x4s that will fit the opening, you can improvise by placing a sturdy item like a shelf in its place. Use a hammer to tap the planks in between the door and the floor on each side of the garage door opening. Using something sturdy to prop up the door will prevent it from slamming shut, even if the garage door spring is damaged. The manual release cord is usually red and located next to the garage door motor. Pull down on this cord to disconnect the trolley from the automatic opening system. Pulling the cord will allow you to manually open and close your garage door. Have someone help you as you manually close the door. Remove the 2x4s by tapping them out with a hammer as someone holds the handle on the door. Once the 2x4s are removed, slowly and carefully lower the garage door to the closed position. Prevent the manual release cord from getting caught on the garage door tracks by pulling it down and towards the motor when you’re opening the door. If you have trouble doing this yourself, ask someone for help. If you want to set the garage door back to automatic mode, you'll need to pull the manual release cord towards the door opening while simultaneously opening the door. Doing this should reconnect the trolley to the automatic opening system and allow you to automatically open and close the door with the button again.

TL;DR in English: Ensure that the door is closed, if possible. Prop the door up with 2x4s if it’s stuck open. Pull down on the door’s manual release cord. Remove the 2x4s and manually close the door if it was stuck open. Pull the cord towards the garage door motor to open the door. Pull the cord towards the door opening when engaging automatic mode.

You want to make sure you harvest sugar cane during the right times of year. During certain periods, sugar cane is more likely to be strong and ready to harvest. For best results, you should hold off on harvesting your sugar cane until late fall. At this point, the shoots should be tall and strong enough to cut down. Some shoots may take longer to grow than others. Starting in early fall, observe the shoots. Hold off on harvesting until they all display signs they're healthy and ready to trim.  Check the leaves. Leaves that appear yellowish and slightly dry are ready to harvest. Tap the cane with your hand. It should make a metallic sound if it's ready to harvest. If you're still unsure, make a small sideways cut in the cane. Turn the cut towards the sun. The inside of the plant should glisten slightly if it's ready to harvest. Do not wait too late in fall to harvest sugar cane. If you harvest the plant after frost has set in, a lot of the plant will have spoiled. Make sure you watch the weather forecast and get to harvesting the crop before the first snow or below freezing temperature of the year. If you plan on burning sugar cane leaves after harvest, check regulations in your area. Not all states will allow you to burn plants on your property. You can check with your local Department of Natural Resources to see if it's legal to burn excess leaves in your area. If there are regulations forbidding this, you should find another way to dispose of excess leaves.

TL;DR in English: Harvest sugar cane at the right time. Observe the shoots to make sure they're ready to harvest. Make sure you harvest sugar cane before frost sets in. Check regulations if you plan to burn excess leaves.

Talking to your girlfriend face-to-face is an excellent way to gain a better understanding of her. Sometimes you can't pick up on things like voice intonation or sarcasm through text message, and you can't look at her body language when you're talking to her over the phone. Set some time aside to speak with her openly and honestly about anything. It could be small-talk about how your day went, or it can be deeper and more meaningful conversations about what makes you both happy.  You can start the conversation by saying something like, "Hey I wanted to talk to you about where we are going in the relationship. Do you have time right now?" Talking about things that you feel vulnerable about will encourage your girlfriend to do the same. This can bring you both closer together. For example, you could talk about your first childhood memories, a favorite family traditions, worst fears, or lifelong dreams. Active listening engages both people deeper in a conversation and will make your girlfriend appreciate you more. To practice active listening, concentrate on what she is saying without interrupting. Do not judge her or criticize her if she tells you something embarrassing, because it could prevent her from telling you things in the future. Paraphrase things that she says and ask specific questions about what she is talking about. Try to give advice that helps her and is in her best interests if she seems like she wants it.  To paraphrase, say something like "So what you're saying is that she was acting immature." Sometimes people just want someone to talk to and not to receive advice or judgment. Wait for her to ask you for your opinion before trying to help. Talking to someone is not the only form of communication that exists in a relationship. Nonverbal communication is also incredibly important. If you pay attention to your girlfriend's body language, you'll be able to determine how they feel at the moment. Crossed arms may mean they feel defensive or closed off and may mean that they aren't interested in what...

TL;DR in English: Have honest and open conversations. Practice active listening. Pay attention to the nonverbal communication you both share. Don't get personal when you get angry. Don't yell or scream when you have fights. Follow other fair fighting rules.

Pin the paper pattern onto a piece of quilters’ batting, with the “R” side up. With a fabric marker or pencil, trace around the edges. Label the piece of batting “R.” Repeat for a second piece. Flip the pattern piece over so that the “L” side faces up. Pin the paper pattern onto quilters’ batting and trace around the edges before labeling this piece “L.” Do this a second time so you end up with 2 pieces labeled “L." Carefully cut around each pattern piece that you traced with sharp fabric scissors. You should end up with 2 separate pieces that are labeled "L" and 2 other pieces labeled "R." Pin your paper pattern onto the wrong side of a piece of lining fabric. Then, trace around the pattern piece. Use a ruler to mark 1 in (2.5 cm) of seam allowance around the entire piece. Do this once for the “R” side and once for the “L” side. The lining fabric you choose should match the fabric on the inside of your garment. If you’re working with a red blazer that’s lined in black fabric, you should select a similar black fabric to use for covering the shoulder pads.

Use 1/3 cup (80 ml) of regular ketchup. Depending on how many mugs you are cleaning, you may need to use more ketchup. Spread a thin film of ketchup over the outside and inside of the mug. If your mugs are very tarnished, you may need to let the ketchup set for a longer amount of time like 10 to 15 minutes. Scrub the mugs in a circular motion with the toothbrush. Scrub until all the tarnish is gone and the mugs’ surfaces shine again. Run the mugs under cold or warm water until all the ketchup is removed. To dry the mugs thoroughly, dry them twice. Use a clean cotton cloth to wipe the mugs down. Then wipe them down again with a second cotton cloth. Make sure all traces of water are gone before storing your mugs.

Place the liner tight to the bottom and sides of the pool. Cut the liner to fit the sides correctly, making sure it sits right at the top line of the pool. Line both the main pool and the hole for the water zone so they are protected. The synthetic liner is a good way to prevent leaks or cracks in the pool due to rocks or other objects. Another option is to apply a layer of bentonite clay over the holes for the swimming pool and the plant zone. You will need at least 6 pounds (2.7 kg) of clay per square foot to seal the pool. Spread a 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) layer of clay with your hands. Wear gloves and a face mask to protect yourself.  If the soil is very sandy, you may need to double the amount of clay per square foot to ensure the pool is properly sealed. Pack the clay down with a tractor or a plate compactor to really seal it into the soil. Use synthetic liner that is black over the base liner or the clay so it can trap the heat of the sun, heating up the pool naturally. It will also help to protect the pool from leaking.  Leave a piece of liner hanging between the pool and the plant zone. Cut the piece so it sits 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) below the top edge of the pool. This piece of liner will act as a barrier between the pool and the plant zone. Use scissors to cut the liner so it just drapes over the sides of the pool. Use smooth slabs or rocks to secure the liner and create an extra barrier. Lay them against the walls of the pool so they sit flush to the top edge of the pool. You can then fill in any gaps between the large rocks with smaller rocks or slabs. You can also use stone slabs that have been cut to fit together if you want a smooth, even surface for the sides of the pool. The stone slabs will be heavy to lift so you may need someone to help you lift them in place. Cover the bottom of the pool with gravel or pea rock  to create a good habitat for microorganisms. This will also keep the bottom soft and easy to walk on. Make sure you use gravel or pea rock that has been washed so...

TL;DR in English: Use synthetic liner to smooth out the bottom and sides of the pool. Apply bentonite clay if you do not want to use a synthetic liner. Lay black liner on the bottom and sides of the pool to reflect the sun. Place large rocks on the walls of the pool to keep the liner in place. Fill the pool with 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm) of gravel or pea rock. Line the edge of the pool with rocks or pebbles. Put water in the pool and let it rest for a week.

Find out ahead of time what you can and cannot do after your surgery. You will probably not be allowed to drive, and you may be sent home with JP drains that will need care. Share this information with the people who will be taking care of you after your surgery. Ask how long you are likely to be in the hospital after your surgery. Some people go home the same day, others stay a day or longer. Ask your family doctor to recommend a surgeon, and meet with your surgeon and anesthesiologist before your surgery. Ask any questions you have. They will talk to you about your medical history and make a plan for what type of surgery you will have and when.  They will likely set up a pre-op exam, which will take place a couple weeks before your surgery and is usually performed by a primary doctor or a doctor specializing in pre-op risk assessment. The doctor may recommend medication and behavioral changes so you have a successful surgery. Tell your doctors about any medications, vitamins, or supplements that you’re taking. If you take aspirin or a blood-thinner, you will have to stop taking it temporarily before your surgery. You cannot eat or drink for 8-12 hours before your surgery; your doctors will give you specific instructions that you must follow. Take a robe and slippers to the hospital to keep comfortable during your stay. Bring your toothbrush and other hygiene products. Pack a book, some magazines, and other items to occupy your time during your initial hospital recovery. You will need to recover at home for a while, possibly for as long as six weeks. Talk to your head of Human Resources department at work, and your supervisor. Your doctor can give you an idea of how long you should miss work, and if necessary they can write a letter to your employer. You may need to:  File paperwork for short-term disability Plan for others to take over large projects that you are working on Share information that others will need to take over your daily tasks You may need help caring for yourself at first - you will have...

Stopping hoarding on your own can be quite challenging. It can help to seek out the services of a professional who has experience helping people with your condition. Typically, hoarding is treated by educating families about the condition and by offering therapy to the individual or the family as a whole. Therapeutic treatments for hoarding may include helping you develop better decision-making skills, challenging irrational beliefs with cognitive behavioral therapy, addressing your fears with exposure therapy and boosting your motivation for sticking with your new skills. Working with an experienced mental health provider can help you make sure you are dealing with the underlying problem as well as the symptom (i.e. hoarding).  Although medications are generally not a recognized treatment for hoarding, they may be useful to control underlying conditions such as depression or anxiety. Antidepressant medications known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are typically the first choice in treating depression and anxiety symptoms. Sharing your experiences with other people who hoard may help you feel less alone in this process. Plus, talking to other individuals and their families can help you learn different coping strategies for dealing with anxiety and various systems for controlling clutter.  Talk to your mental health provider to find out if there are specific groups in your area dedicated to hoarding. You might also join an online support group, such as Clutterers Anonymous or Messies Anonymous. Other supportive resources are the International OCD Foundation Hoarding Center and ChildrenofHoarders.com.

If you have a laptop, the USB ports are probably on the left or right side of the housing. Desktop users may find the USB ports on the back or the front of the desktop tower, though iMacs have the USB ports on the back of the monitor itself. There are two main types of USB ports found on modern computers:   USB 3.0 — A thin, rectangular slot that's about 3/4 of an inch (a little under two centimeters) wide. You should see a chunk of plastic in the upper half of this slot. USB 3.0 slots are found on the majority of Windows computers and on most Mac computers manufactured prior to 2016.  USB-C — A thin, oval slot that's about 1/2 of an inch (a little over a centimeter) wide. These are most commonly found on MacBook and MacBook Pro computers, though some Windows laptops also have USB-C ports. If your computer has both types of port, you're free to use whichever port you like depending on your USB flash drive type. Look at the metal connector end of your flash drive:  If the connector is rectangular and has a piece of plastic taking up part of the connector, you have a USB 3.0 flash drive. If the connector is oval and has no piece of plastic inside of it, you have a USB-C flash drive. If the flash drive that you want to use is a USB 3.0 version but your computer uses USB-C ports, you'll need to buy a USB-C adapter and plug it into the USB-C port on your computer. This is most common on MacBooks and MacBook Pros from 2016 and up, though some Windows computers also have only USB-C ports. If you're using a USB 3.0 flash drive, make sure that the plastic piece in the flash drive's connector is at the bottom of the flash drive so as to slide under the piece of plastic that's at the top of the USB 3.0 port.  USB-C flash drives can be inserted either way. If you're using a USB-C adapter, you'll plug your USB flash drive into a USB 3.9 slot in the adapter instead.

TL;DR in English: Locate your computer's USB port. Determine your computer's USB port type. Figure out which type of flash drive you have. Buy and attach an adapter if necessary. Plug your flash drive into your computer.

A manic episode is a mood state in which your child's mood is expanded. They may demonstrate an extraordinary amount of optimism and a sudden rush of energy. Symptoms include:  Elevated self-esteem Decreased need for sleep (for example, your child could sleep for three hours and feel well-rested) Increased interest in activities, hobbies, and/or goals Rapid speech and speaking nonstop Racing thoughts Attention loss Reckless behavior A depressive episode is the opposite of a manic one. This episode usually includes sadness and gloomy emotions and behavior. Symptoms include:  Sleeping too much or feeling tired a lot Losing interest in hobbies, activities, and/or goals Feeling negative and low Withdrawing from friends Lack of energy Trouble focusing Changes in appetite, like eating too much or too little When your child is in an episode, they may say many hurtful things towards you or others. They may think negatively about you and verbalize those thoughts. Don't take this to heart. Understand that your child is having a hard time due to the episode.  Your child may be quite aggressive, violent, cruel, and reckless. They may lack judgment skills and be harsh. Talk to your spouse or a friend or family member for support. You may also consider seeing a therapist yourself to help you cope. It is important to practice self-care so that you can care for your child. When experiencing an episode, your child may become violent or aggressive. They may harm themselves or others. Form a plan before your child has an episode so you'll know to react when your child behaves this way. Talk to your child's doctor or therapist about how to act when your child behaves in a destructive manner. Some examples: For example, if your child starts banging their head against the wall, you might place pillows beneath them. If they start to become violent towards someone else, you might bring them into a quiet room so they can calm down. If your child starts to scratch themselves purposely, you might bring them putty to help them relax and...

TL;DR in English: Identify the signs of a manic episode. Recognize the signs of a depressive episode. Avoid taking bipolar disorder comments personally. Be prepared for destructive behaviors. Offer support to your child. Create a crisis plan. Take suicide threats seriously.

The 1 is always understood, and so is rarely written. However, when adding, writing the 1 can help you keep track of coefficients.  A coefficient is the number in front of the radical sign. For example, write 5{\displaystyle {\sqrt {5}}} as 15{\displaystyle 1{\sqrt {5}}}. You can only add square roots that have the same radicand.  The radicand is the number underneath the radical sign. For example, you can add the first three terms in the expression 25+125+5+7{\displaystyle 2{\sqrt {5}}+12{\sqrt {5}}+{\sqrt {5}}+{\sqrt {7}}}, because they all have the same radicand (5). Only add the coefficients for terms that have the same radicand. Do NOT add the radicands. For example, 25+125+15=155{\displaystyle 2{\sqrt {5}}+12{\sqrt {5}}+1{\sqrt {5}}=15{\sqrt {5}}}. These cannot be simplified any further, and cannot be added to any other terms. The result will be your final, simplified answer. For example, 155+7{\displaystyle 15{\sqrt {5}}+{\sqrt {7}}}.

TL;DR in English: Place a 1 in front of any square root that doesn’t already have a coefficient. Check for square roots with the same radicand. Add the coefficients. Add any unlike radicands to the expression.

Rubbing an ice cube over your pores for 10 to 15 seconds can help to tighten the skin and close up the pores, making them appear smaller. You should only do this on clean, freshly-washed skin. Make a paste from one tablespoon of baking soda and a little water.  Apply this paste to the problem areas and leave to dry for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water. This can help to minimize the appearance of pores. Baking soda also dries out the skin, which can help to fight acne. Any method that reduces skin oil will also make pores appear smaller. Egg white masks are believed to tighten pores, making them appear smaller.  Mix 2 raw eggs whites with 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice. Apply this mask to the face and leave to sit for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water. The orange juice helps to brighten your complexion.

TL;DR in English: Use ice. Use baking soda. Make an egg white mask.

The goal is to keep changing activities every hour or so. If you've got friends with you, a board game is the perfect activity for this period of the night. You'll have to pay attention to play well, which means you're less likely to get drowsy. Keep your blood flowing to fight the tiredness. Do some kind of exercise, like running around the yard, or some jumping jacks. If you can, play some basketball outside. Anything that keeps you active is going to help.  Make sure not to exercise or play so hard that you get exhausted though. Keep it somewhat light. If you want to play outside, ask your parents permission earlier that day first. Depending on your family's rules, this might not be necessary if you're just staying in the backyard. But if you're planning on leaving the house property, get permission first. Being outside at night without an adult can be dangerous, especially if you're alone. Cold water might be a little uncomfortable, but that's the point. Being too comfortable will make you more likely to fall asleep. If you find yourself dozing off, go to the bathroom and splash some cold water on your face.

Find the gift you have to pull the day out of the jar. Save a jar from your kitchen for this project. Gather the following materials:  An empty jar Felt balls Decorative paper Pens or markers Paints Use paints and decorative paper to decorate your jar. Make sure you thoroughly wash your jar if

Gather your supplies. Decorate the jar. Cut out strips of paper. Glue felt balls to each piece of paper.

Children learn best when they are engaged and enjoying themselves. Using different games and fun activities can spark your child’s interest in colors and help him or her retain the information more effectively. A good way to think of this is “busy hands, busy brains.”  Try different types of games with your child and see which one he or she likes best. For example, you could ask your child to select a crayon, marker, or piece of construction that he or she likes. Then take your toddler out for a walk and say, “let’s spot colors that are the same as your paper. I bet you can beat me!”  Tie a different colored ribbon to the tops of three long-handled spoons. Put them in a small pail and tell your child to dash to a specific colored spoon. Make sure to offer positive reinforcement such as, “great job, Sara, you found the pink ribbon!” Toddlers often love to pick out their own clothing and will put together all sorts of fun combinations. Use getting dressed as another opportunity to teach your little one different colors.  Allow your toddler to pick out an item of clothing and say, “that’s very nice, what color is it?” If your child knows the color, then ask him or her to get another piece of clothing in the same color. Remember to keep your color descriptions as simple as possible—no mint and green, just green. Let your toddler pick out all of the articles of clothing he or she wants to wear that day. As the child puts on each piece, ask him or her what color it is. If the child isn’t sure, say, “this is orange, Callie, just like your favorite shirt and the oranges you love to eat.” Nutrition is key to helping your child grow. Because healthy foods are often bright and beautiful colors, you can use meals as a way to teach your toddler his or her colors.  Ask your child what color a food is as you pass it to him or her. For example, say, “what color is the piece of broccoli?” If your child says, “green,” give him or her a bit of positive reinforcement with a, “great job, Luca!” You can extend the lesson by...

TL;DR in English: Use games. Play dress up. Identify foods by color. Sing a song. Color or paint pictures together. Compare identical objects of different colors.

Place your feet flat on the floor and try to lift each toe one by one. This may be difficult at first but try and lift each toe multiple times in a row at least once a day. This is an effective exercise for making the toes stronger and more flexible. While barefoot, take a few steps across the room lightly while only on your toes. This will give you a challenge in balance and also let you gauge how strong your toes really are. Use a slanted board for a more challenging toe lift exercise. Take an already slanted exercise board or put an object against a flat board to make it slanted (books, wood blocks). With the board against a door frame so you can lean slightly forward, step onto the board and rise up onto your tiptoes and then back down to your feet. While standing, first raise yourself onto the front of your feet. Stand on your tiptoes on one foot and slowly curl the toes under. Maintain balance with the opposite foot planted firmly on the ground. Hold each position for five seconds and repeat with the other foot. If curling the toes is too difficult, lift up to the balls of your feet and stay there for five seconds. Continue to lift to your toes if you feel comfortable.

TL;DR in English: Lift the toes. Take steps on your toes. Raise, point and curl your toes.

Wear clothes that make you feel good. If you dress how you want to (but still follow your school’s rules and your parents’ rules), you will look and feel amazing. Go to your favorite stores and get clothes that you like and you are comfortable in. If you are struggling to figure out what clothes you want to get, you can look for fashion inspiration. Movies, television shows, magazines, style blogs, and Pinterest are full of fashion inspiration. You might not have a say in what you get to wear to school because you have a uniform. Remind yourself that everybody has the same thing on! So if you don’t feel like you look your best in a uniform, remember that everyone probably feels the same way. If you are allowed to, add accessories like jewelry, fun socks, unique shoes, headbands, and hair ribbons to make your uniform stand out.

TL;DR in English: Wear clothes that make you feel confident. Get fashion inspiration. Be confident in a school uniform.

Once your plants turn yellow or start to die off, your potatoes are ready to harvest. Harvest small new potatoes as soon as the plant turns yellow or dies.  For more mature and larger potatoes, wait 1-2 weeks before harvesting. Gently dip into the soil with a small gardening tool or your hands, and pull the entire plant out of the container. Pull off each potato with your hands and brush the soil off of each one.  Be careful to not cut or bruise the potatoes at this point, as the skin will be tender and easy to tear. Place your potatoes in a sunny spot and allow them to dry out. Then, scrub them with a vegetable brush under running water to remove the soil and clean them off. Store your potatoes somewhere dark and cool, between 45–55 °F (7–13 °C), to avoid deterioration. Keeping potatoes for at least 2 weeks in this state will help them "cure," which hardens the skin and helps them to last longer.  Potatoes will last about 5 months in a dark, cool place.  If you don’t have a root cellar, you can store them in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator. The cold temperature of the fridge will convert the starch in potatoes to sugar, so be sure to use them within 1 week.

TL;DR in English: Harvest when the leaves of the plant turn yellow for small new potatoes. Pull the plant from the container and pick off each potato. Let your potatoes dry for 2-3 hours, then rinse them off. Store your harvested potatoes in a cool, dark place for up to 5 months.

In this twist on the classic advent calendar, each day is stuffed into a jar. To find the gift you have to pull the day out of the jar, and read the clue. Save a jar from your kitchen for this project. Gather the following materials:  An empty jar Felt balls Decorative paper Pens or markers Paints Use paints and decorative paper to decorate your jar. Make sure you thoroughly wash your jar if you're saving it from your kitchen. Clean any labeling off the outside, and rinse any remaining food from the inside. Cut enough pieces of paper for each day in your calendar. Write a message on each strip of paper. Your messages can be activities, such as "go to the movies," or you can leave clues for gifts hidden in the house. The felt balls will make it easier to pull the messages out. After you glue the balls on to the paper, fold the paper to hide the message. Write the numbers on the outside of the paper strip for easy searching. Toss the messages in the jar and screw on the lid. Each day find the appropriate date, and see what your gift is!

A sponsored ad on Facebook, Instagram, or another high-profile promotional platform can be a rewarding investment for those with a little money to spend. Ads typically only cost a few dollars a day, and have the potential to draw hundreds of eyes to your SoundCloud profile. This may be just the boost you need if you’ve seen a slowdown in your number of new followers.  Most social media platforms offer adjustable pricing plans that allow users to decide how much they want to spend on an ad, as well as where and how their content will be displayed.  One of the biggest advantages of web-based advertising is that it ensures that your ads are being seen the kind of people who are likely to be interested in them. Ordinarily, any registered SoundCloud user can access the music on your profile for free. By creating a follow-to-download gateway, curious listeners will have to follow your page in order to receive an exclusive download link. It’s essentially a guarantee that everyone downloading is a subscriber.  Sites like TuneBoost or SoundCloudfollowers.org make it easy to add a follow-to-download gateway to your profile. Employing a follow-to-download gateway can be a useful trick for racking up followers if you’re already somewhat established, but if your visitors have never heard of you, they may decide that it’s not worth the extra effort. If you’re desperate to kickstart your music career and need a little momentum to get you going, consider trading cash for praise. There are whole companies that specialize in providing likes, follows, and other social signals to aspiring musicians as a way to help them build a buzz. A purchase of as little as $2 can get you up to 1,000 plays, as well as additional perks such as likes and reposts.  Hiring one of these services may not be the most honest approach, but it can be effective if you haven’t had much luck with other options. Keep in mind that a suspiciously high number of followers or plays with few likes or comments may look fishy to more discerning listeners.

TL;DR in English: Take out ad space. Set up a follow-to-download gateway for your channel. Pay for likes and followers.

A crisis hotline is meant for people who are suicidal and for those helping someone who is suicidal. The people on the other side of the line are trained volunteers who can help de-escalate situations, offer help and support, and be a listening ear. If you don't know where to start, you can call a crisis hotline and ask for help. Encourage the person who is suicidal to talk to someone on the phone, as volunteers are trained to help support people in crisis.  In the United States you can call a suicide hotline at 1-800-273-TALK. In Canada, call 1-800-273-8255.In the UK, the hotline number is 116 123. In Australia, call 13 11 14. It's not your responsibility to know what to do for the person. By calling for outside help, you can involve trained professionals to intervene and guide your next steps. If the person is about to cause harm to themselves or has already caused harm (such as cutting or taking pills), seek medical intervention. You can call an ambulance if the person needs immediate medical attention or if you think the person should be taken to the hospital for evaluation. If there is an immediate threat, call emergency services, such as 9-1-1 in the United States. The operator can connect you to a hospital, police station, EMT help, or other emergency service that you or the person may need. You may choose to get the person's family involved, whether for personal, medical, or psychological reasons. Involve the family if they live nearby and can come over quickly, can offer support over the phone to their loved one, and if the person is on good terms with their family. Family can offer support to the person and may know what to do. If you think involving the person's family would be beneficial, give someone a call.  Ask the person considering suicide who would be the best family member to call. Call someone you know will be supportive, such as the person's sibling, parent, aunt, or grandparent. You don't need to call the whole family. For some people, family involvement may make things worse, especially...

TL;DR in English: Call a crisis hotline. Get medical intervention. Contact the person's family. Call the person's mental health professional. Allow them control over treatment decisions.

In order to let your prospective employer know your distinctive value, you should first have a good grasp of the basics i.e. understanding your own value. You should do a small self-analysing session prior to actually starting to draft your value proposition letter. This pertains to the job title or titles you held while working with different employers. Expand further to describe the duties associated with each title. If you had been a project manager, your duties might have included initiating, planning, implementing and monitoring the project, supervising the project management team, coordinating with stakeholders etc. After listing your previous job titles with duties, start recording your accomplishments i.e. the achievements that set you apart from others at workplace. This is all about answering the following questions (in reference to the account executive job title):  Were your customers satisfied with the value your products and services rendered? Did you consistently win more business from the same clients? Did your clients communicate their satisfaction to other companies? Did they recommend you to others for more business? Upon achieving, were you entrusted to oversee more important clients? This means writing down all those projects that you either lead or you worked on in the capacity of a team member. Ask yourself questions like:  What key projects were you entrusted with that contributed to company’s growth? Did you complete the projects on time and within budget? Did you efficiently manage the projects? Did you perform in a leading capacity and supervise other project team members? This point talks about the valuable soft skills you demonstrated in relation to working with others at the organization. Here you can think about:  Were you in a capacity to work effectively with people from all areas of expertise? Did they like working with you? What might have happened to the project if you were not a part of the team? Did you share ideas and solve problems by working with others? Was there a...

TL;DR in English: Be aware of the importance of doing a self-evaluation. List roles you have filled. Record your accomplishments. Write down projects you have worked on. Think about how you have interacted with others in past employment experiences. Consider what you have learned from your past employment experiences. Think about recognition you have received.

The dropped "r" is a classic New York sound, though it is actually going out of style. The tricky part is to remember when to subtly drop the "r." It only disappears when it is before a consonant, though the disappearance is slight -- listening to native speakers will help you find the sweet spot. So, for example:  Park → "Pak." Nurse → "Nuhse." Water → "Watta" River → "Rivva" Fear → "Feah"Note, however, that some New Yorkers also add "r"s where they aren't needed, like "idea-r" or "law-r and order." These are generally colloquial and common in older speakers. This is found in the cliched New York accent expression "toity-toid street" ("33rd Street"). But it is not always so cliche -- dropping the softer, whispery "thhhh" sound for a harder "ddd" or "tttt" sound is very New York.  The → "teh" That → "tat" or "dat" Three → "tree"  When making "d" or "t" sounds, place your tongue against the back of your bottom teeth. Note the subtle difference. Many of the words that have the "o" sound (like in coffee) are pronounced with an "aw" sound. So the word dog, for example, would sound like "dawg", and "coffee" would sound like "cawfee."  Talk → "Tawk" Thought → "Tawwt" The short "o" sound is pretty rare in New York English. Words which include the long "i" in the middle, like "liar", use a very similar "aw" sound, so "liar" should sound almost like "lawyer" This is a tricky one, because it requires turning one syllable into two. Some linguists actually believe it is near impossible for outsiders to learn, but you can pick it up with a bit of practice. Check out the following examples and see if they make sense, trying to get through the first syllable quickly and sliding it naturally into the next.  Cab →  "ca-AHB" Avenue → "ahav-enue." Furthermore, most New Yorkers get their words out quickly,  speaking with a pace just a bit faster than the average American. Test out a few words, phonetically spelled out for you, to get used to the accent before diving in. The capitalized letters are for emphasis.  Sunday →...

TL;DR in English: Only pronounce your "r" sounds if they are before a vowel. Replace a "th" at the beginning and end of words with a percussive "d" or "t" sound. Elongate your vowels into an "awww" sound, especially "a"s and "o"s. Learn the tricky "split a" sound to extend out your vowels naturally. Pronounce New York English as if projecting forward in front of the mouth, almost like a open-mouthed pucker.

Use the carrier oil to massage the skin.

Gather castor oil and your favorite essential oils. Add the essential oil to the castor oil. Mix and use the oil.

Challenge yourself to look at others and appreciate the things they can do and, more generally, to appreciate people for who they are. Understand that everybody is different and relish the chance you have to experience different people. You will still have your personal tastes, your likes and dislikes, but train yourself to separate your opinions from your fears and you will appreciate others more - you will be more humble as well. Being able to appreciate the talents and qualities of other people can also make you recognize qualities that you want to improve or attain within yourself. While competition can be healthy and stimulating, it's nearly impossible to be humble when we're constantly striving to be the "best" or trying to be better than others.  Instead, try looking at yourself more. Remember, the ultimate goal isn't to be better than anyone else, it's to be better than the person you used to be. When you focus your energy on improving yourself instead of comparing you to everyone else, you'll find that it is much easier to make yourself better since you don't have to worry about whether or not you're better or worse than anyone. Every individual is unique. Appreciate people for who they are as human beings, not for their skills and appearance in relation to yours. Although it is ultimately up to you to decide if you were right or wrong, it is a whole different thing to acknowledge that you make mistakes and that you're not always right. Somewhat more difficult however, is the ability to acknowledge that in many cases other people — even people who disagree with you — may be right. Deferring to your spouse's wishes, to a law you don't agree with, or even, sometimes, to your child's opinion takes your recognition of your limitations to a different level. Instead of simply saying you are humble and as a person you will make mistakes, you should also concentrate on living with that mindset - being humble is a way of life, not a one-time action. This is another way of appreciating others. Contemplate...

TL;DR in English: Appreciate the talents and qualities of others. Stop comparing yourself to others. Don't be afraid to defer to others' judgment. Seek guidance from written texts. Remain teachable. Help others. Go last. Compliment others Apologize Listen more than you talk.

Get out 2 bunches of radishes and rinse them to remove any dirt or grit. Set the radishes on a cutting board and trim off the greens. Set the greens aside to use as a garnish for the soup. Use a sharp knife to slice the trimmed radishes into 1/4-inch (1-cm) thick slices. You'll need 2 cups (230 g) of sliced radishes. Use your favorite radishes such as red, pink, purple, or daikon. Place the remaining 1/4 cup (30 g) of sliced radishes on a cutting board. Cut the radishes into long thin strips the size of matchsticks. Pour the soup into 4 serving bowls and sprinkle a little of the radish matchsticks on top. Dollop 1 tablespoon (12 g) of reduced-fat sour cream on top of each bowl of soup. Roughly chop the reserved radish greens and sprinkle them over the soup. Store the leftover soup in an airtight container. Refrigerate and use the soup within 3 days. Warm the soup for 1 to 2 minutes in the microwave or heat it on the stove for about 5 minutes.

Use your dominant hand to lift the wide end of the tie away from your chest, then cross it over the front of the narrow end (which you should hold in your off hand).

Because castor oil is relatively inexpensive and has a long shelf life, some people like to use it as a carrier oil. Since it is somewhat sticky you may not want to use it for all purposes. It’s great for making skin treatments, however. The exact amount depends on how you want to use the oil. To make a massage oil or moisturizer, try adding 40-60 drops of the essential oil to 4 ounces of castor oil.  If you have a large bottle of castor oil, measure some out into a separate bottle, then add the essential oil to that. If you’re using the oil for aromatherapy or other everyday uses, you may want to increase the amount of essential oil you add to the carrier. Check the essential oil bottle’s label for recommendations. Use a wooden skewer, spoon, or another tool to stir the oils together. Mix thoroughly so that everything is evenly blended. Once you’re done, the oil is ready to use. You can store the oil in a glass bottle, preferably a dark colored or opaque one, with a tightly fitting lid. Castor oil can be stored for up to 1 year if kept in a cool, dry place.
