From the start, you need a strong argument for ending the relationship, so you can make sure you follow through. Get real with yourself and take some time to write out all the reasons this relationship is toxic and needs to end. One of the most important reasons to leave a toxic relationship is because you deserve better. In addition, the relationship may be preventing you from growing, isolating you from others, or becoming borderline or full-on abusive. Go over what you want to say to the person beforehand. This will help you to appear more confident when you have the talk.  You can rehearse in front of a mirror or with a friend. Rehearsing can help you feel more confident when you speak, but keep in mind the conversation may go differently than you rehearsed. Give the person advance notice that you want to have a conversation and ask them when they are available to talk. Depending on how safe you feel, consider reaching out in person, over the phone, or via text. You might say, "Hey, I need to talk to you about something important. Do you have time to get together?" Have a face-to-face discussion with the person, if possible. Set the location based on how you expect the conversation to go. For example, if the person is likely to become angry, have the conversation in a public place. If this is an abusive relationship, have the talk by phone or through video call for your safety. Be direct about what's not working in the relationship and your decision to end it.  You might say something like, “I don't think we're good together. We breakup and makeup all the time and I have started to alienate other people who are close to me. I want to end it.” Another option is to say something like, "Our relationship is not working for me. I've thought it through, and I want to end it." There's a good chance the other person will have quite a mouthful to say. Listen to what they have to say as long as their response is free of insults or threats.  If they try to convince you not to end it or some other tactic, simply...

TL;DR in English: Remind yourself why the relationship must end. Rehearse the conversation. Let the person know you want to talk. Choose where to have the talk. Be clear and straightforward about what you want. Hear the other person out.

Fill a bowl or clean sink with your fresh baby spinach and enough cool, clean water to cover it. Swish the spinach around to clean it, then remove it to dry with a towel.  After moving the spinach around in the water, avoid further agitation so that any dirt removed from the leaves can settle to the bottom. Remove the spinach by hand or with tongs after washing so that you can dispose of the dirty water. Repeat if necessary. You can dry the spinach in a salad spinner if you have one, but patting it dry on a clean towel or paper towel should be all that is necessary to remove most excess water. Remove the stems of the leaves if you prefer not to eat them, and cut the leaves into pieces if you wish or if your recipe calls for it.  The stems are perfectly edible, but can be slightly tougher or stringier than the leaves when eating. If you cook down your spinach to a soft texture, you will likely not even notice this difference. In addition to any cutting, the baby spinach will reduce its size on its own when cooking. Place your rinsed and dried baby spinach into a skillet or other pan and stir or turn until it is cooked evenly. You may cover the pan with a lid for faster cooking.  Saute the spinach over medium heat. You may add oil or butter first, but the water content of the spinach will quickly be released and prevent it from sticking to the pan on its own. Continue to stir or turn the spinach with a spatula or tongs until all leaves are heated evenly, appear wilted, and turn a bright green.  Fresh baby spinach reduces in size considerably as it cooks. You can add more spinach to the pan as it cooks down and makes more space, if desired. Place your rinsed and dried baby spinach into a pot and cover it with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook for one minute before removing.  You can boil the spinach for longer than a minute, but it will quickly get tender and turn a bright green after very little time. After boiling, pour the contents of the pot into a colander to drain. Try steaming your spinach by...

TL;DR in English: Rinse and dry the spinach. Cut the spinach if you wish. Saute the spinach in a skillet. Try boiling your spinach. Steam the spinach.

An organized binder is easy to navigate—you should know the approximate location of each paper. This is not possible when you insert loose sheets in between papers or fill folders full of papers. Three-hole punch the papers you wish to keep in your binder. Insert the papers into the correct section and subsection. If the paper is important, place it into a sheet protector. An overstuffed binder is more difficult to keep organized. In addition to throwing away unnecessary papers, you should remove returned assignments and tests from your binder. Organize these assignments and tests and place them in a filing cabinet or box. Even in the best organized of binders, it is possible to lose sight of an essential fact or important date.  Find a way to catch your own attention. Consider using a flag to mark significant information or highlight dates you need to remember.

TL;DR in English: Three-hole punch loose papers. Place returned assignments and tests into a filing cabinet. Mark significant information and dates with flags and highlighters.

Hanging out can mean different things to different people. Some people like to just sit around casually, watch TV, play games, or just talk. For others, hanging out can mean doing interesting activities outside the home. Figure out what your friends or prospective friends consider hanging out to be and then tailor your interests to that crowd. At least, be aware of all areas of popular culture. Once you have a solid base, you’ll be able to keep up with and contribute to a variety of conversations. Be wary of criticizing popular culture too much. Read the room. You don’t want to be the only one that consistently bashes popular culture topics. Have an opinion, but just make sure that you don’t offend or turn anyone off. If you have appealing interests or skills, then others will flock to you if they have similar interests. Figure out what interests you naturally, then accentuate those aspects of your personality. Try not to limit your options. What one person considers cool, another person will consider weird.  Don’t be afraid to learn to do something physical. Learn to juggle, do gymnastics, play a sport, or dance. You can invite people to do these things with you after you’ve developed the skill. They’ll admire you for it. And you’ll have something to talk about. Learn something new that excites you. You’ve found wikiHow so this should be easy to do. Learn a language, how to make Italian food from scratch, what it takes to do improv comedy, how to write fiction, or how to identify birds based on their songs. It doesn’t matter as long as it excites you. People like learning new things and if you know a lot about something, you can share your excitement for the subject with them. Just like with skills or knowledge, some people like to get out and try new things. Search for new opportunities in a new part of your town you haven’t seen before and invite your friends to join you, seeing it all as a new adventure. There are a number of great online sources, like TripAdvisor or Eventbrite, that can educate you on...

TL;DR in English: Learn how to “hang out”. Tap into popular culture. Develop a variety of interests. Explore a new part of your city or neighborhood.

Before school begins for the day, make sure you’ve completed all your work and have it ready to go. Before class begins, organize everything you need and prepare yourself mentally and physically to listen and participate.  Have your notebook out, your pencils sharpened — or your laptop fully charged, whatever the case may be. Actively participating — by asking and answering questions, working diligently, and so on — shows that you are trying your best to understand what your teacher is talking about. It also indicates that you are prepared and listening in class.  Don't hesitate to ask questions if you don't understand something. Your teacher will be more than happy to help you. This implies that you want to learn and that you strive to do well in school. However, it is possible to ask too many questions — if you seem to be interfering with class or frustrating your teacher, jot down your questions and bring them up after class or (if available) by email, etc.  Generally speaking, though, it is better to ask too many questions than too few. Constantly falling behind on assignments, homework, and projects does not create a good impression.  But doing your work on schedule — or even a bit ahead of schedule when possible — shows your teacher that you’re giving an honest effort to succeed. Dedicate yourself to turning in assignments on time. Late work can result in punishments, and your teacher won't be happy either. Turning in your first assignment late isn't a good way to make a good first impression.  If you’re having trouble keeping up due to the difficulty of the work or some other factors, talk to your teacher about it immediately. diligently. Work hard in preparation for tests.  If your studying results in A's on every test, great.  But even if your hard work doesn’t achieve those highest marks, your teacher will take notice of (and appreciate) your ongoing effort toward improvement. A very effective method to studying is to study for 20 minutes, rest for 5, and every fifth break should be 20 minutes long....

TL;DR in English:


Project confidence Take steps to make yourself more attractive. Sharpen your conversational skills. Surround yourself with friends Socialize with her friends to put yourself in her orbit. Focus on making a lasting impression when you’re together.

Bare soil is easily swept away by wind and water, the two main causes of erosion. Plant roots hold the soil together, while their leaves block rain and stop it breaking the soil apart. Turf, ornamental grass, and low, spreading shrubs work best since they cover the soil completely.  If you have any bare ground, try to establish plant cover as soon as possible to limit erosion. If the ground is mostly flat (slope of 3:1 or less), this might be enough to solve the problem. Steep slopes erode faster, so they need more protection. This will weigh down the soil and protect the seeds and young plants underneath from getting washed away. It also slows the absorption of water to reduce runoff. Grass clippings or bark chips work especially well. If you don’t plant anything, keep the soil covered with mulch. You can also add mulch around plants to add another layer of protection or to keep the soil warm. Simply lay the mat over your seeds or young plants. On steep slopes, dig a small trench at the top of the hill first. Lay the top of the mat in the trench, fill it up with soil, then fold the mat back over the top. This helps water run over the top of the mat, where the mat will slow it down, instead of traveling underneath it. Fiber mulch mats or erosion control mats are a layer of mulch held together in a fiber mesh. This structure holds the mulch together in areas where normal mulch would be washed or blown away. Another option for erosion control on steep slopes is a series of rolled up logs or "wattles" made from fibrous material (like straw). Water running down the slope will slow down when it hits the logs, soaking into the soil instead of carrying mud downhill. Put the logs down across the slope, 10 to 25 feet (3–8m) apart. Hold them in place with wooden stakes or sturdy, living plants.  You can plant seeds directly in the logs to protect them while they grow. If you do plant seeds directly into the logs, you should still use stakes to hold the logs in place, at least until the seeds develop sturdy roots that...

TL;DR in English: Plant grass and shrubs. Add mulch or rocks. Use mulch matting to hold vegetation on slopes. Put down fiber logs. Build retaining walls Improve drainage Reduce watering if possible. Avoid soil compaction.

To cream butter and sugar, first let the butter sit out of the fridge for about an hour until it has reached room temperature. You want it to be soft, but not completely melted.  Cut the butter into cubes and place it in a large bowl, using a wooden spoon to beat it until you've made a soft, even mixture and there are no chunks left.  You can also use a mixer if you have one. Pour the brown sugar into the bowl and use the tines of a fork to press the sugar into the butter. Use the wooden spoon to mix the ingredients together until the mixture rises and is a light yellow color. Just place the cookie dough bites on a plate and stick them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.  You can also put them in the freezer for 10 minutes if you have a time constraint or you feel impatient. You can place the balls in the refrigerator or freezer to cool the chocolate coating.

TL;DR in English: Cream the butter and brown sugar together. Refrigerate the balls until they're firm. Allow chocolate to cool.

Bullying can affect your child for life, causing long-term effects like low self esteem or even suicide. It's important that you address bullying immediately. Children do not always open up about bullying, but there are some signs you can watch for:  Sudden bed-wetting Headaches Stomach aches Sleep issues Skin problems Dizziness Abdominal pain If your child has been dealing with a mean girl, it’s important to help them sort through their emotions. Empathize with your child to help them feel heard. Validate their feelings by saying something like, “Wow, it was mean of Sophie to take your phone and text your crush to tell him that you like him. No wonder you’re feeling frustrated and embarrassed. I’d feel that way too.” Show that you care and are willing to listen by asking your child about their challenges with the mean girl. This may make them more comfortable with coming to you when they’re struggling to handle tiffs with mean girls in the future. Asking questions should also help them learn how to fully express what they’re feeling and why they’re feeling it. For example, if your child says “I don’t like Jenny,” then you might ask, “Why not? What did she do that you didn’t like?” Once your child is in tune with their emotions, start a dialogue about what to do in the situation. Even if your child says they want to hit the mean girl or call her names back, validate their thoughts and suggestions. Then guide them towards a healthier solution.  For example, you might say, “I understand why you’re feeling hurt, and why you want to hurt her back. But what other ways do you think you could respond to her mean behavior?” Don’t just tell your child what to do. Letting them find solutions on their own is much more empowering and will help them feel heard, understood, and supported. If your child is willingly spending time with the mean girl, they may get pressured to be mean to others also. Try to explain to your child the importance of prioritizing kindness over popularity, as doing this may lead to fewer regrets...

TL;DR in English: Watch for signs that your child is being bullied. Talk to your child about their feelings. Empower your child by asking them questions. Find solutions together. Encourage your child to choose kindness over popularity. Remind your child what true friends look like. Monitor your child’s social media usage. Speak to teachers and administrators if the meanness gets out of hand.

Getting your socks wet with warm or hot water before putting them in the dryer will help them react to the heat better and shrink more, faster! Use the longest cycle possible to give them enough time to shrink, and check on your socks every once in a while to make sure they are reaching the right size. Wool is most prone to shrinking in heat, due to the structure of the natural fibers, so you don’t need to expose it as much as you will other fabrics to achieve the same result. Allow the socks to cool to room temperature before deciding if you need to shrink them further. If so, try washing and drying them on high heat again until you reach the size you want.

TL;DR in English: Soak your socks. Set the dryer to the hottest setting for cotton or polyester socks. Set the dryer to a warm setting for wool socks. Remove your socks from the dryer.

to catch her eye. Anytime you’re around the object of your interest, carry yourself in a way that reflects how you wish to be seen. Stand up straight, move with purpose, and speak in a calm, relaxed (yet assertive) tone of voice. A self-assured demeanor will send the message that you’ve got something going for you.  Confidence isn’t the same thing as cockiness. For many people, arrogance is even more off-putting than a lack of self-esteem.  Another positive side effect of confidence is that it makes you more resilient. If it turns out that she’s just not into you, a confident attitude will allow you to rebound and move on without feeling bad about yourself. Like it or not, physical appearance counts for a lot, especially when you don’t know someone very well. Start working out regularly and watching what you eat, and make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Spending a little extra time putting yourself together before going out could also improve your chances of catching her eye.  It’s crucial to keep up with your basic personal hygiene, as well—shower daily, brush your teeth, style your hair, and don’t forget to wear deodorant, particularly if you’ve been hitting the gym.  Your smile is one of the best weapons you have in your social toolbox. Don’t be afraid to use it. Being a good conversationalist is just as much about being a good listener as it is about having lots of funny or interesting things to say. Keep the discussion centered around her as much as possible to make her feel special. When it’s your turn to talk, say what you have to say, then look for a way to put the spotlight back on her.  Don’t feel like you have to agree with everything she says. In fact, disagreeing tactfully can be a good way to show her that you have a mind of her own and elevate the conversation to the next level.  Forget rehearsing imaginary conversations with the girl you’re trying to impress. A better approach is to stay relaxed and allow yourself to be spontaneous. That way, you’ll be ready for whatever twists and turns...

Check the instructions to determine how high or low to set the temperature dial, if the warmer has a dial.

Read the instructions. Note whether the warmer uses a bath or steam. Fill the water reservoir. Insert the bottle. Set the control dial and warm the milk.

Turning to your surroundings can be an easy way to start a conversation, and since she already likes you, she probably won’t mind if you start the conversation off this way. Make a comment about your surroundings and then ask her a question about what you just commented on to get the ball rolling. You can use this strategy whether you just met her or if you have known her for a while  Try saying something like, “Check out that guy on the paddleboard! I’ve always wanted to try that, but I’m pretty sure I would fall right off. What about you? Have you ever gone paddleboarding?” Or you might say, “I really like this bar. It’s always pretty chill and the music is good. Plus they have a great happy hour, so that’s a nice bonus. What about you? What do you think of this place?” Discussing your day-to-day activities with a girl who likes you and finding out about hers is another way to keep the conversation going, whether she is an old friend or a new acquaintance. Try giving her a brief recap of your day and then ask what she did so far today. She’ll probably be thrilled that you care enough to ask.  For example, you could say something like, “I have had a crazy day so far. I almost got hit by a car on my way to work, had a presentation to give and I was really nervous, and then went to my HIIT class after work and I dropped my phone and cracked the screen! It’s nice to be out relaxing now. What did you do today?” Remember to keep the conversation light, friendly, and entertaining. Avoid telling the girl anything too personal or that might be a turn-off. Even if she already likes you, it is possible to change her mind by sharing unappealing information about yourself. If you are just getting to know her, ask her about her favorite movies, music, TV shows, books, YouTube channels, video games, hobbies, and other interests. Make sure to share with her what your favorites are as well. If she likes you, she’ll definitely want to know more about you!  For example, you might say something like, “I just saw the Evil Dead...

TL;DR in English: Make small talk about your surroundings. Talk about your day and ask about hers if you’re not sure what to say. Discuss your favorite things to see what you may have in common. Talk about past experiences and goals to learn about her values.

To begin your foundation for the shell stitch, you will need to make a chain. Your chain will need to be a multiple of six plus five additional stitches.  For example, you could make a chain of 18 plus five, which would be 23. This would be a great length for practicing the stitch. Or, for a wider piece, you could make a chain of 60 plus five, which would be 65. To chain, loop the yarn over your hook two times, then pull the first loop through the second one. Then, loop your yarn over the hook again and pull it through the loop. Keep doing this until your chain is the required length.

TL;DR in English: Chain a multiple of six plus five.

Though the pattern is only drawn on the top, make sure to cut through both layers. Then sew up the open side in a gentle arc around the dark ends; the dark ends will become the paws and the opposites (open ends) are where the arm will be stuffed and then attached to the body. Keep all of these sections open-ended. Make sure they're turned inside-out as you work! If they're not, all your seams will be very, very rough. Then sew up the open side and in a gentle arc around the dark end as you did with the arms; the dark end will become the tip of the tail and the opposite, open end is where the tail will be stuffed and attached to the body. Then, sew in a gentle arc following the rounded sides, leaving the flat side open. The opening is where you will stuff each ear and then attach it to the body. Noticing a pattern? If you'd like, you can then fold the ears again, forming a vertical line down the middle of the ear (giving it depth like a real ear has). Basically, pinch the edge you just sewed in and bring the two points together. Slip stitch the two sides together. That part's saved for later. You should now have two arms, two ears, a tail, and an unsewn, unstuffed nose. The tail may prove to be a bit of a problem. You could try to stuff it using regular polyfill stuffing and a pencil to poke it through, or you could use batting or part of an aquarium filter. Both the batting and the filter are a bit firmer and will create a more uniform-looking tail in the long run. Position it carefully and slip stitch it all the way around. You may want them a little higher than your natural inclination says; this will give your sock a more monkey-like posture.

TL;DR in English: Cut the second sock into sections as shown. Fold both arm pieces in half lengthwise. Fold the tailpiece in half lengthwise. Fold each ear in half and cut across the crease. For now, do nothing with the muzzle (formerly the heel). Flip the sewn pieces right-side out and stuff them. Attach the tail to the rump. Attach the arms to either side of the body.

No two bottle warmers are exactly alike, so it is essential that you read the instructions thoroughly before using it.  While the exact specifications and instructions vary from machine to machine, there are some general similarities. Note that many, though not all, bottle warmers can also double as baby food warmers for when your child starts eating solids and cereals. Some bottle warmers warm the bottle in a hot water bath, but most use steam.  Bottle warmers that use a warm water bath work the same, in principle, as a warm water bath you create without a bottle warmer. The bottle of breast milk is immersed directly into the heated water. Bottle warmers that use steam use less water. The water is heated in a separate compartment by a heating element or hot plate, and the steam comes up into the bottle compartment to warm the breast milk. This is a more gradual heating method. Pour tap water into the reservoir up to the bottle warmer's "fill line."  If the warmer has no fill line, check the instructions to determine how much water to use.     Water bath warmers tend to use more water than steam warmers. The water should be changed in between uses for almost all water bath warmers and most steam warmers. Some steam warmers have reservoirs that stay filled until the levels dip too low, at which point a refill sensor light goes off. Secure the bottle of breast milk in the warmer, placing it inside the bottle compartment. The bottle will sit loose in some warmers, while others may require you to "snap" it into place. Follow the instructions to determine how high or low to set the temperature dial, if the warmer has a dial. Press the start button and wait for the appliance to click off. Most bottle warmers have a sensor light that comes on and off to tell you when the warming session is done. Others also make a ring or alarm noise when the process is done.

TL;DR in English:


Start at the top of the device. Pull the top plastic up and off the rubber. Push the rubber casing off one of the corners with your thumb. Work the rubber casing off of the device.

It is not necessary for your hair to be freshly washed, but if you do wash your hair before styling it, you may find it useful to add some volumizing spray to it before you blow it dry. You can apply some products after blowdrying your hair, so just be sure to follow the instructions of whichever product you choose. With your hands, use your thumbs along the sides of your head to help you separate the top third of your hair from the bottom. Use a clip to hold this section in place. To create the other two sections, simply separate the remaining hair into two halves with your left and right hands. Lay the left section over your left shoulder, and the right section over your right shoulder. It is not necessary to clip these two bottom sections. Starting with one of the two bottom sections, brush the hair with a paddle brush and then spritz the entire length of hair with a heat protectant. Starting at the back of your head and moving toward the front, alternate between curling towards and away from your face. For the pieces of hair that frame your face, you’ll want to curl away from your face. Each curl should look like a little spiral.  Hold each strand on the wand for roughly 20 seconds. It could be slightly less time depending on the quality of your wand and the thickness of your hair. If your hair is fine or damaged, you may want to start at 10 to 15 seconds to see if that works for you. Curling away from your face means pulling your hair away from your face to wrap it around the wand. Curling towards your face means pulling your hair towards your face to wrap it around the wand. If your hair doesn’t hold curls well, as you let the curl slide off the wand, let it fall into the palm of your hand and hold it there until it cools off. Ensure that you cover all of your hair with hairspray. Fold your body over so that your head is upside down and your hair is hanging towards the floor, and then shake your head in a “no” motion as you spray your hair. Run your fingers through your hair gently to mould the curls...

TL;DR in English: Start with dry hair. Separate hair into three sections. Spray each section with heat protectant. Wrap 1- to 2-inch sections of hair around a 19mm (3/4-inch) curling wand. Spray your hair with hairspray. Tame the curls.

Cut the apple, pear, or other fruit in half, through the stem. Press a large melon baller into the center of each half, turning to remove the tough core. Cut a cucumber in half lengthwise, then scrape out the seeds by running the melon baller scoop down its length. Cut a peach in half and pull out the pit. If the flesh around the pit is dry or moldy, scrape it out with a shallow scoop of the melon baller. Remove similar small defects on other round fruit surfaces, where a knife is awkward to use. You can remove potato eyes this way as well. From cookie dough to meatball mixture to Matzoh dumplings, any thick substance can be shaped into a ball using this tool. Make sure to use an appropriately sized melon baller. If the recipe calls for large dollops, smaller dots may burn during cooking.  Plastic melon ballers may only work on soft foods, such as sorbet. Try dipping it in hot water, then scooping miniature ice cream sundaes. Some melon ballers have a serrated edge for a more controlled grip. Use these to remove strawberry greens, or to prepare cherry tomatoes for stuffing.

TL;DR in English: Core fruit. Remove fruit blemishes. Use it to sculpt other foods. Hull small fruit with a serrated scoop.

Be sure your slices are uniformly cut so that dehydration occurs consistently throughout your meat.  Slice ham into 1-inch wide strips.  They should look like slightly thicker slices of bacon.  Cut beef into long, 1/4-inch wide strips if you are making beef jerky.  Pull chicken apart into small pieces.  It should look very similar to pulled pork. If you plan on consuming meats after they have been dried, be sure that your ham and chicken are precooked.  Raw, dehydrated beef is okay to consume as it will turn into beef jerky.  Eating raw dehydrated pork can cause an infection called trichinosis, which occurs when raw or under-cooked pork is consumed.  Similarly, eating raw chicken can give you salmonella food poisoning. Position  slices into neat rows so that they do not overlap or cover one another.  Spread the pulled chicken into an even layer so that there are no large clumps. These times and temperatures may vary slightly for different meats but should yield an overall similar result. If making beef jerky, monitor your slices to make sure they are pliable but not brittle.  This means they should bend without actually breaking. The moisture that comes to the surface will mostly be oil and fat from the meat.  Oils and fats don't evaporate as easily as smaller molecules like water.  Therefore, you need to wipe it away in order for drying to be successful. You don't have to wipe the pulled chicken bits as chicken is leaner and contains less fat. Use your fingers to test the meat and see if there is still moisture on the surface. Drying requires a lot of monitoring and is not a precise procedure like baking, for instance.  Don't be afraid of opening up the dehydrator to check the meat every few hours to observe its progress. Remember, air also contains moisture, and moisture is the enemy of dried foods.  If you're storing the meat shorter than a month, store it in a dry, dark place at room temperature.  Your kitchen cupboard should be ideal for dried meats.  Don't worry about spoilage; removing the water...

TL;DR in English: Cut your meat into smaller slices. Place your strips of meat onto a tray and place it inside the dehydrator. Dry the meat at 145–155 °F (63–68 °C) for about 6 hours. Dab ham and beef slices with paper towels frequently throughout the drying process. Take the meat out of the dehydrator once it is completely dry. Store your dehydrated meats in airtight plastic bags. Check your dried meats every couple of weeks or so.

To perform this simple trick, you will need a few props to give the illusion that you are levitating a spinning card. This will trick will require:  A playing card Clear tape Clear elastic/fishing line (a few feet in length) You will need to attach the line to the back of your playing card with your clear tape for this illusion. For it to work best, try to make it so that the line threads up and away from the center of the back of your card. For you to be able to execute this trick quickly and without raising suspicions, you should make a loop, or a simple adjustable knot, at the loose end of the line. This can be slipped over a button on your shirt, attached to your belt buckle, or attached somewhere else on your body, like up your sleeve. Take time to work out the best length for this trick. You will need enough line so that you can launch the card from your hand, leaving it hanging beneath and spinning. Depending on your hand, there might be a better way of hiding your fishing line from view, but you may want to try running the line through your pointer and middle finger, along the back of your hand parallel to the crease between your thumb and pointer finger, and then to your shirt button or belt. Taking care to make sure you don't get tangled in your invisible line, shuffle a deck of cards until you are ready to make your card float. Then, raising your hand with your fingers splayed, catch your invisible thread between your pointer and middle fingers. Hold your deck of cards loosely as you do this, and as you raise your hand, the card will be raised, as though it is floating, on your invisible thread. Alternately, you can shuffle until you are ready, take your trick card in hand, and launch it in a gesture similar to that of throwing a Frisbee. This will cause your card to spin rapidly and hang in the air. Try not to use excessive force! If your card moves too much, your audience might realize the pivot point from which it is hanging.

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Construct your illusion. Loop the fishing line. Find your optimal line route. Practice levitating your card.

You'll have the easiest time removing the plastic part of the case if you work from the top of the device. You may have to lift a bit to get the plastic over any Power buttons. When you lift the plastic top off, the rest of the case should come off easily. Starting from the corner is the easiest way to begin removing the rubber. The seal will be tight, so you'll need to push with some force. Work your way around the case to remove the rubber. Be careful with the ports, as the rubber port covers can tear easily.

TL;DR in English:


Get in the water, and move your arms sideways and up-and-down. Move into slightly deeper water, where you can still stand. Hold on to the wall and start bobbing up and down. When ready, bob and release your hands from the wall. Keep doing this until you feel comfortable being in the water without holding onto the pool's edge. Play in the water until you feel comfortable and relaxed.

If you're staining a dark piece of wood a lighter color or you need to take off a lacquered top coat, sanding may be a good option. Sanding is the quickest way to take existing stain off of a piece of wood, especially if you're working with a small piece of wood or a large, flat surface with no detail. Sanding is also a good choice if you don't want to work with chemicals. Start with a rough piece of sandpaper, like a P80 grade, for the first pass over the wood, then go over the area with a medium-grit, such as a P150. If you need to, you can finish with a fine grit, like P220. Graduating to a finer sandpaper will help keep you from scuffing the surface of the wood too much. Whether you're using an electric sander, a sanding block, or just a piece of sandpaper, hold the sandpaper so it's flat against the surface of your wood as you're working. This will create an even finish. Otherwise, you could sand unevenly, wearing into the wood and creating a light spot that will show through the stain. Although you won't be working with dangerous fumes while you're sanding, you will be putting a lot of small particles into the air, and those can irritate your lungs if you breathe them in. A dust mask will help protect your airways while you're working. You can usually find dust masks wherever home improvement supplies are sold. After you're finished sanding, you'll want to make sure you don't leave any dust or residue on the surface of the wood. Otherwise, it will get caught in the stain and cause a gritty finish.

TL;DR in English: Sand the wood if you are only working with a small piece. Work from a rough grit to a fine grit. Keep the sandpaper or sander flat as you work. Wear a dust mask while you're sanding. Wipe down the surface of the wood with a wet cloth to remove any dust.

Most elements in the "d-block" of the periodic table (groups 3 through 12) are considered transition metals. Unlike other elements, they can form more than one type of ion. When a transition metal is part of an ionic compound, a Roman numeral is included to specify which ion is involved. For example, copper sometimes forms an ion with a charge of +1, and sometimes with a charge of +2. Copper (I) chloride and copper (II) chloride are 2 different ionic compounds. The Roman numeral tells you which copper ion is part of the compound. The first word of the compound name represents the metal ion, or cation. This is always positively charged. Just add the Roman numeral as a positive charge to the element name: For example, copper (II) chloride includes the cation Cu2+{\displaystyle Cu^{2+}}, since II is the Roman numeral for 2. The second word of the compound name represent the anion. This is the negatively charged ions that form from non-metallic elements. Each element of this type only forms 1 ion. To find the charge of that ion, look it up in a textbook or chemistry website, or memorize the group rules. For example, chloride is the name for a chlorine ion. Chlorine, like similar group 17 elements, forms ions with a charge of negative one. This is written as Cl−{\displaystyle Cl^{-}}. This process is the same as for any ionic compound. The total positive charge from the cations always balances out the total negative charge from the anions. The net charge of the ionic compound is always zero. To balance out the 2+ charge from a Cu2+{\displaystyle Cu^{2+}} ion, you need 2 Cl−{\displaystyle Cl^{-}} ions (2 ions x -1 charge per ion = -2). This makes an ionic compound with a net charge of +2 -2 = 0. As always, the number of atoms is written as a subscript after the element name. You do not need to write the charges in the final formula: Copper (II) chloride has one copper atom and two chlorine atoms. The formula is CuCl2{\displaystyle CuCl_{2}}.

TL;DR in English: Find the Roman numeral in the compound name. Find the charge of the cation. Find the charge of the anion. Balance the charges. Write the chemical formula.

. Discuss what type of freshwater, tropical fish you want to have with the salesperson.They should give you tips on which types can and can't get along, and so forth. Look for a locally-owned fish store in the area, since they tend to provide the most accurate information and high-quality fish. Quality pet stores usually have compatibility charts for freshwater and saltwater fish.  Although you may see two types of fish you really like, they may not be compatible. The result of bringing them both home would be harassed colorless fish (they lose color when stressed), and eventually the fish that is not the alpha bully will simply die. Why spend the money, right? Often, fish stores will have stickers that indicate whether the fish are "community" fish (highly recommended as they get along with other community fish), "semi-aggressive" or "aggressive". You may mix community fish together, but not a community with semi-aggressive. If this is your first tank, do not get fish that are only recommended for intermediate or experienced aquarium owners. Like owning a dog, there is a reason they are not for beginners. Be aware of the size of the adult fish (not the baby you're getting) and do not get a fish you won't be able to handle down the line. The same goes for freshwater sharks, crabs (who, by the way, try to escape all the time), Cichlids, and animals that bury themselves. It's not fair to the fish. Guppies, platies, swordtails, or mollies are good starter fish. But it all depends on your tank size. If your tank size is 5–10 gallons (18.9–37.9 L), you might get 3-4 African dwarf frogs, or a betta, or possibly a betta and some shrimp. Do lots of research before adding any fish to your tank.Do not only use the 1 inch (2.5 cm) of fish per gallon rule. Know all the fish you hope to eventually have in your fish tank and buy two of the smallest (this goes for all types except for schooling fish, which should be bought in groups of 4 (ideally 6+). You can introduce a new group of fish every 2 weeks. Add the largest fish...

TL;DR in English: Choose fish Don't buy all of your fish at once. Transport the fish home safely. After the pet store worker catches your fish, bring the fish home and set the bag in your tank. Introduce the fish to your aquarium

Whenever it feels appropriate during the outing, gently touch your date. You can put your hand on theirs at the dinner table or guide them through a doorway with your hand on their back. Find opportunities to get comfortable touching one another, which will remove the pressure of touching intimately for the first time when kissing.  Try to touch more than once before the kiss. Establishing comfort through touch will make a kiss more likely. If your date pulls away from your touch, that may mean they’re not ready for physical contact. A kind smile or laugh lets your date know that you’re interested in what they have to say and find them engaging. It also lets them know you’re having a good time and enjoying their company. Keep your smile genuine, however. You don't have to keep a big, fake smile plastered over your face like a Barbie doll. Eye contact can also build trust and foster affection. It shows your date that you’re not afraid to be vulnerable. You don't have to maintain eye contact for the entire date; it's perfectly to look away. You should definitely keep eye contact while both of you are speaking, however. Give your date your full attention while they are talking by putting away your phone and looking at them. You can also ask follow up questions to what they’re talking about to express your interest.  If your date is talking about her rescue dog, you might say, “I love pets, too. What made you decide to adopt?” You can also show you’re listening through your body language. Lean forward and put your hand under your chin, for example, to show that they really have your focus.

TL;DR in English: Break the touch barrier. Build intimacy with your date by smiling as you hang out together. Look at your date to let them know you’re paying attention to them. Pay attention while they are talking.

You'll feel the pressure of the water resisting you, and you may even find it shifting your body around. Moving your arms sideways will cause your body to turn. Pushing downward will cause your body to move upward. moves your body up. Moving your arms backward will tilt your body forward.  You can do this standing or sitting, but you should be in the water up to your shoulders. This is sometimes referred to as "sculling." Make sure that your head is out of the water. Use your feet to push off of the pool's floor, and remember to breathe out through your mouth. Push off the bottom with your feet to come up and grab the wall. Scull and kick while coming up. If you want, you can even step away further from the pool's edge. Remember to go no deeper than where you can still stand. This way, if your confidence fails, all you have to do is stand up. Become accustomed to having your face in the water and your body stretched out. Try to reduce your dependence on using a flotation device and being afraid of going underwater. You can even swim a little underwater before coming up. Your primary reaction in the water must be to stretch out on the surface, scull, kick, breathe and relax. Don't get discouraged if you accidentally swallow some water. It happens to everyone, even experienced swimmers.

While there's nothing wrong with the classic vanilla cookie, you might enjoy trying something new. When mixing the dough, stir in some different flavors, such as: white chocolate chips, coconut flakes, nuts. Or, experiment with some of your favorite nuts, berries or sweet treats. If you like, you can roll the cookie dough out with a rolling pin and use cookie cutters to create desired shapes for your cookies. This can be especially fun for the kids, and will take their mind off these being merely "vanilla".

TL;DR in English: Add an additional ingredient to make the flavor more complex. Create a different shape.

" If you chug too much water, too fast, you can give yourself an electrolyte imbalance: your kidneys cannot flush the amount of water you've consumed, and your blood becomes waterlogged. This extra water can swell your brain cells, causing your brain to expand dangerously against the skull. Rapid and severe cellular swelling can cause seizures, respiratory arrest, coma, brain stem herniation, and even death. It's estimated that consuming more than 1.5 liters/hour over several hours can greatly increase your risk of hyponatremia. The risk of hyponatremia is especially high if you have been steadily exerting yourself over a long period of time – and even more so if you are performing in a hot environment. You lose sodium (an electrolyte) through sweat. Thus, drinking too much water to re-hydrate during endurance activities—such as marathons and triathlons—can dilute the sodium content of your blood. If you consume too much liquid at once, you can choke on it., as water spills into your airways. If you flood your stomach with more water than it can handle, you may involuntarily puke out the excess water. Make sure that there is no ice in the water. It is quite possible to choke to death on a chunk of ice. If you are trying to chug water for health and hydration benefits, keep in mind that chugging is no more efficient than sipping water. What's more, chugging can potentially counteract the positive effects of drinking water. If you are chugging water for a competition: remember the risks, and think before you chug. Ask yourself whether winning this chugging contest is worth any potential damage to your body.

TL;DR in English: Understand the risk of hyponatremia, or "water intoxication. Avoid chugging water when you are doing endurance activities. Don't drink so much that you choke or vomit. Consider sipping water instead.

. Make sure that all team members have access to the methods of communication you have and are all shared on critical or necessary documents. Explain the companies goals and strategies in a clear way, so that team members are all on the same page. Encourage everyone to communicate with one another and hold active and frequent discussions. Make any changes in the strategy known to the entire organization so that everyone can work towards the same goals.  Methods of communication include phone, email, and chat systems. As a leader of an organization, it's important that you develop good facilitation techniques so that you can resolve issues as soon as they develop. Persistent chat rooms show messages in real time and are saved over time. Consider using one to keep all of your team members on the same page. The most productive meetings have clearly stated objectives and allow everyone to put in their unique input and perspective. Keep an agenda for the meeting and don't allow it to go off topic or break down into conjecture. Good meetings should have employees walking away with a better understanding of what their colleagues are working on and how it ties into their work. It should also provide them clarity on how their tasks influence the overall strategic plan. Take new problems and create short-term tactics and solutions.  Meetings will also help you gauge the effectiveness of any strategic plan by getting input from employees. Create a printout of the agenda before the meeting so that everyone can stay on the same page. Once you set up your strategic plan, it's important that you allocate the best employees to the task to maximize your plan's efficiency. If you are monitoring the success of the plan and notice that team members skills or talents aren't being used in the best way, look to reorganize your team. Talk to managers to help you evaluate who is best for what department and move people around if you have to.  Place people in the roles that they have experience in.

If a girl is interested in you, chances are she has already done some homework. Whether it’s talking to friends or following up on your social media accounts, she may drop hints that she knows something about your hobbies and interests. This is often a good sign that she likes you. This could also be a sign that she is interested in you as a friend and wants to get to know you better. When someone likes you, they will often try to establish an emotional bond with you through messages that create closeness. Common things to look for are if she chooses a nickname that she uses when texting with you. She may also try to connect with you by reaching out to talk with you about an experience or interest that the two of you share.  Does she text you to reminisce about a funny moment at school or maybe to commiserate with you about a particularly troublesome assignment or test you both have coming up? These may be signs she’s trying to connect with you on an emotional level.  Having a connection like this can also be a sign she is interested in friendship. Things like compliments and expressions of gratitude send a clear message that the person on the other end of your text conversation thinks highly of you. These messages can also give you hints about what it is she likes or finds particularly attractive about you.  Does she compliment your looks? Your clothes? Is she thanking you for doing something nice for her that day? You can learn a lot about what a girl thinks of you by paying attention to what she appreciates about you. Compliments don’t have to be straightforward. If a girl texts you to share happy news with you, she’s letting you know that she thinks highly of you.  If a girl is texting you to share something that made her think of you, that’s a positive sign that you’re on her mind. Text messages are a good, relatively low-risk way for two people to get to know each other a little better. If a girl is texting you details about her interests, her likes, and dislikes, pay attention as she may be trying to...

Determine which part you can sing. Select and join a choir. Nail your audition.

Congratulations! You've completed your Montessori training and you're now fully certified to lead a Montessori classroom. Many Montessori teachers get their first job from connections they make during their on-site training and practicum. However, if you don't, this is OK — except in some cases (like for certifications earned through distance learning), Montessori credentials are transferable, marketable skills. Generally, people who have just received their Montessori credentials will want to apply for jobs at local schools with open positions for teaching children of the age range(s) for which they are certified to teach. While you can simply contact local schools directly to check for job openings, an even easier way to find open positions is to use an online Montessori job finder! For instance, the American Montessori Society's online job search utility allows you to quickly find Montessori openings in your local area. As you would do when searching for any other job, you'll generally want to apply for multiple positions when you're looking to become a Montessori teacher. In some situations, you may be in competition with other Montessori teachers for the opening, and since you've presumably just become certified, you may have less teaching experience than some of the other candidates, so applying to a range of positions gives you the best possible chance of eventually getting a job. Note that, in the U.S., public schools generally pay their teachers higher salaries than private schools. However, for some teachers, private schools offer a freer, easier teaching environment with none of the bureaucracy of the public school system. As with most other jobs, prospective Montessori teachers generally go through an interview/vetting process before being hired. You may be required to provide a resume, proof of your certification, and/or personal references (for these, the teachers with whom you completed your practicum are great choices). As you're being considered for the job, you'll want to show your potential...

TL;DR in English: Find a Montessori classroom near you. Apply for multiple positions. Demonstrate your commitment to Montessori values. Be negotiable in terms of your job opportunities.

Use your trowel to spread a few slabs of mortar around the corner's base of the footing. Spread the mortar 1" deep and 8" wide in the marked area. Continue to spread the mortar to account for the distance of about three to four blocks. It is important to lay the corner block down first. Again, use a corner block if they're available. Setting the corner first will ensure an even dispersal of the rest of the blocks. Apply mortar to each side of the concrete block using your trowel. You'll need to apply at least an inch to each side. Once applied, position the stone in the desired location. Try to align the corner to the string set up earlier.  Don't apply mortar to outer edge of the corner. Try not to leave any gaps when applying mortar, or it’ll weaken the bond between the blocks. Start laying blocks from the corner or edge of the wall so you can work in one direction. Apply mortar at the end of the block before you place the block adjacent to it. Before stacking more concrete blocks on top of your initial foundation, check if everything is aligned. Use your mason's level by laying it on the first set of blocks.  Check both the outside and center section of the bricks.  Tap the blocks for any alignment adjustments while the mortar is still wet. Do not try to move a block after the concrete has set. Measure the length and height every two or three layers. Place the mortar 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep and use the same width as the width of the block. You can then spread the mortar so it covers the length of about 3 blocks in the direction that you are laying the bricks. Lay the block down on top so the edge of the top block aligns with the halfway mark of the bottom block. You'll recognize the pattern as a standard among the construction sites. The top block will fit in between two bottom blocks. If you built fairly high walls, consider adding reinforcements. You can also use reinforcements if the ground pressure on the site is not stable. Place the 1/4" reinforcement rods into the openings with the ends overlapping...

TL;DR in English: Spread the mortar along the corner. Set the corner block. Apply mortar to the side. Continue to lay the concrete blocks. Check the alignment. Apply mortar to the top. Stack the blocks. Add reinforcement.

This method will require you to drink large amounts of apple products. While apples are perfectly healthy in moderation, in excess they add a lot of sugar to your system. If you have cancer, a yeast infection, diabetes, hypoglycemia or a stomach ulcer, do not use this method. For centuries, scientists have researched ways to treat gallstones without surgery. A liver flush is a "chemical contact" treatment, in which you consume chemicals that break up the gallstone from within. Many chemical contact treatments doctors tried throughout history had long-term negative side-effects on patients. The malic acid and liminoid found in apples, though, have relatively benign side effects that last a short amount of time.  Don’t drink juices made from concentrate or that have added sugars. Look for natural apple products. Keep the juice at room temperature, and mix it with warm water to further raise the temperature when you drink it. Drink 16 oz. (2 cups) of organic apple juice or apple cider every 2 hours between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on both days At 8:30 p.m. on the second day, mix ½ cup of olive oil with ½ cup of lemon juice or ¾ cup of grapefruit juice. The juices should be freshly squeezed, not processed. You may feel nauseous after drinking this mixture, but try to relax and see your way through it. You’ll feel better when the process is over! It may feel too early to go to bed, but it’s important to keep to the schedule for this liver flush. You’ve taken the olive oil and citrus juice mixture after about 36 hours of fasting, and now you need to go to bed. Remember to lay on your side to help the cleansing process. Dissolve two teaspoons of un-iodized sea salt into 4 cups of warm water. Again, you can substitute the juice from half a lemon if you don’t have sea salt. Eat only vegetables and clear broths for the rest of the day. The nausea you felt the night before should pass once you get some food in your stomach, and you should pass your gallstones sometime during the third or fourth day.

TL;DR in English: Do not do an apple-based liver flush if you have certain medical conditions. Go on a two-day apple juice fast. Take an olive oil and citrus juice mix on the second day. Go to bed immediately. Drink a saltwater mixture in the morning of the third day.

First, make sure that the leaf is intact without any tears or other punctures. Then use cold water to wash away any dirt, dust, or other materials that may have collected on the leaf. If the leaf appears to be perfectly clean before rinsing, sprinkle water over it anyway. Pay respect toward guests by observing this custom of purification. First, think of the leaf as a clock. Consider the top of the leaf (the narrowest end of its spine) as twelve o'clock. There, pour enough salt over the spine to serve all guests. Work counterclockwise. Use the left side of your leaf (from twelve to six o'clock) to arrange your sides. Starting from twelve o'clock, place your sides in ascending order of sustenance toward six o'clock. For example, the following items are placed in this order from top to bottom: lemon, chutney, raita, fritters/bhajii/nastha, and then sweets. Work your way back up from six o'clock. Arrange your mains along the remaining space on the leaf's right side. Start with your bread at the bottom, followed by rice, stir fries (if serving), and then your gravy or curry toward the top at one o'clock.

TL;DR in English: Inspect and rinse the leaf. Start with salt. Add side dishes. Add main dishes.

Choir music is divided into four basic parts: Soprano (C4 to C6), Alto (G3 to F5), Tenor (D3 to A4), and Bass (E2 to E4). Test out your vocal range by playing the notes in those ranges on a piano and sing along to see which part is most comfortable.  Classical voice types are further categorized into parts like Mezzo Soprano, Contralto, and Baritone. If you join a beginners' choir, the director may be able to help you determine which part you can sing. Select the kind of choir would best suit you depending on your age, your level of experience, the type of music you like to sing, and how much time you are able to commit.  World music groups (or natural voice choirs), community choirs, and church choirs tend to be more informal and don't usually require auditions.  Contemporary or classical choirs, gospel choirs, barbershop choirs, and a cappella groups are more advanced and are likely to require auditions.  Children's choirs are a great option for younger singers whose voices don't blend in as well with adult voices. The directing style will also be geared toward children to help them learn and have fun. For some choirs, you may be able to join right away, but for others, you will need to audition. If the director gives you a piece to audition with, find your part and practice it until you feel comfortable. If you're allowed to choose your own piece, find one that suits your vocal range and practice it well for your audition. Select a song within the genre that the choir typically sings.  The director may ask you to do some vocal exercises or scales to test your control and range. They may also want you to demonstrate your sightreading skills and pitch memory.

Tell yourself that your work phone or computer should only be used for work-related business. This will help you separate your work and leisure technologies and make it easier to stay on task when you’re working.  For example, if you want to take a five-minute break to scroll through the news, do so on your personal phone or tablet and switch back to your work computer when you’re done. Knowing beforehand what you want to accomplish online will keep you more focused while browsing the Internet. Before you open your browser, for example, set a goal of completing research for a paper within one hour. Before resorting to technological tools, try setting self-imposed limits for yourself. For example, set a timer for ten minutes before allowing yourself to check a news site. Have a friend message you every few hours to keep you on task. If you receive and read the message, that probably means you’re not focused!

TL;DR in English: Set aside separate devices for work and play. Articulate your goals for an online session before logging on. Set a time cap for your online session, or for the most distracting sites. Ask a friend or coworker to keep you accountable.

Write down whole numbers and explain that each number stands for a place value. Show your students which place stands for ones, tens, and hundreds. For instance, write down 382. Tell students that the number farthest to the right, or 2, stands for ones, the next number to the left, or 8, is the tens place, and the next to the left, or 3, is hundreds. Explain that not all numbers are whole numbers. Describe how 5 and 6 are whole numbers, but there are lots of numbers in between them. Show your students how to place a decimal point to the right of the ones place, and mention that numbers after the point are in between 2 whole numbers. Write “5.” and say, “If you see another 5 after the point (write ‘5.5’), that means it’s in between 5 and 6.” Explain that, like whole numbers, there are place values to the right of a decimal point. Tell students that ones are always immediately to the left of a decimal point. Show them that tenths are always immediately to the right, followed by hundredths and thousandths. Over-pronounce tenths and hundredths to avoid confusing decimal place values with tens and hundreds. Explain that decimals and fractions are 2 ways of representing “in-between” numbers. Tell learners that fractions can be turned into a decimal that stands for the same number. Coloring grids or shapes is helpful. Draw a rectangle, then add lines to divide it into 10 equal strips. Have them color in a strip, then explain that the strip is 1/10 of the rectangle. Tell them that 0.1 is another way of saying 1/10, or one-tenth. Write down basic sample fractions, such as 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4. Explain that the fraction means the number on top is divided by the number on the bottom. Show students that dividing the top number, or 1, by the bottom number, or 4, gives you a decimal value, or 0.25. Practice using division to convert basic fractions to decimals. Then show how the decimal place values, such as the tenths and hundredths places, relate to the top and bottom numbers of the fraction. For example, 0.25 means 25/100....

TL;DR in English: Start by reviewing whole number place values. Explain that decimals are “in-between” numbers. Introduce decimal place values. Describe how fractions and decimals are related. Explain how to convert fractions to decimals using division. Practice reading fractions and decimal values out loud. Explain how to see if one number is bigger than another. Add zeroes to help your students visualize place values.

Every Medic possesses a 40/150 Syringe Gun (Primary), the class defining Medi-Gun (Secondary) and their last resort, the Bonesaw (Melee). They may also unlock a series of alternate weapons by successfully completing Medic Achievements.  Use the Bonesaw sparingly, at point-blank range. Melee kills are always fun, and melee weapons have taken quite a boost in power since the Team Fortress Classic (TFC) crowbar, but don't get cocky. Save your Bonesaw for stealthy strikes from behind, or if your attacker is right next to you and retreating isn't an option. Otherwise, you're usually better off healing another teammate and letting them finish the job for you instead. Use the Syringe Gun for distance shots. As the name implies, the Syringe Gun fires hypodermic needles. It is not the most powerful weapon in TF2, but it is often underestimated by most players. An experienced player can be lethal with the Syringe Gun in their hands. Note that the needles from the Syringe Gun actually fire slightly to the right of where the crosshair is.  Fire at a wall from varying distances and look where the needles land to get a feel of where to aim. They also arc downward rather quickly. You'll need to aim upward and to the left with the Syringe Gun if you intend to hit any enemies from a distance. This does, however, make it useful to shoot over short hills. The Syringe Gun's needles travel through the air slowly, which can make them easy for other players to dodge them. Keep this in mind. Try using the Syringe Gun to provide cover fire for your team. They'll stay in the air long enough to travel at enemies that like to sidestep back and forth from corners. Since the Syringe Gun's projectiles move through the air slowly, it is a good strategy to fire if an enemy is chasing you, with you either standing still, moving towards him, or backtracking. If he moves towards your syringes, he is more likely to get hit and thus die. This is essentially a given; your teammates will respect you for being able to heal them effectively and...

TL;DR in English: Get to know his weapons. Use the Medi Gun to heal your teammates. Use your ÜberCharge to make you and one of your teammates invincible for a short time.

Your first stab at a book review may not be as perfect as you'd like, so feel free to revise and adjust your draft. To gain perspective, put the review aside for a few days and then come back to it with fresh eyes.  Always use spell check and adjust any grammar or spelling. Nothing undermines a quality review more than bad spelling and grammar. Double check that all quotes and references are properly cited in your review. If possible, get someone else to read the review before you submit it to an editor or turn it in to a professor. It is difficult to edit and critique your own work, so ask a friend to read your review and then tell you if they felt the introduction grabbed their attention and if your critical discussion was consistent and developed throughout your review. Make sure you incorporate your revisions and any feedback you have received to create the best final draft. A good review will flow well from introduction to summary to critical analysis, have an interesting perspective on the book, and be free of any grammatical or spelling errors to ensure it is easy to read.

Find an energy calculator to assess your current energy usage. Slay “energy vampires. Replace your old light bulbs. Compost your kitchen scraps. Wash your laundry in cold water. Turn off the tap. Run ceiling fans instead of the air conditioner.

Many plastic products, and especially those used for food or drink or children’s toys, contain a number label that can tell you if they contain BPA.  Look on the bottom of the product for a number from one to seven (1-7) surrounded by a triangle made of three arrows (commonly known as the “recycling symbol”).  Items with numbers 3, 6, and especially 7 are most likely to contain BPA.  Items with 1, 2, 4, or 5 generally do not contain BPA. A “BPA free” label on the product or packaging, in combination with one of the “safer” recycling numbers, is your safest bet for avoiding BPA. BPA is used to provide some “give” to rigid plastics in order to reduce cracking and breaking, and rigid plastics are usually made of polycarbonates.  If the plastic item has a recycling number “7” and/or has the marking “PC,” it is a polycarbonate and more likely to contain BPA.  If a plastic product is rigid and transparent — for instance, a reusable food storage container — the odds are good that it is a polycarbonate that may contain BPA. Softer, flexible, and opaque plastics are usually not polycarbonates and less likely to contain BPA.  But always look for labeling. BPA has been in use since the late 1950s, so there’s a distinct possibility that your childhood “sippy cup” or your grandma’s vintage plastic food storage containers contain BPA.  Older products are less likely to have identifying labeling as well.  Many people are particularly concerned about BPA exposure in babies.  BPA was banned in baby bottles and kids’ sippy cups by the FDA in the U.S. in 2012, and earlier in Europe.  If you have older plastic baby bottles, assume they have BPA and discard them.  Scratches, general wear and tear, and repeated heat exposure cause the release of greater amounts of BPA from plastic products.  This is another reason to consider discarding older, well-used products that may contain BPA.

TL;DR in English: Examine plastic products for labeling. Identify polycarbonate products. Discard older plastic products.

If you want to be a good hostess, then you should avoid cleaning up while the guests are there at all costs. Though you can clean up spills or a few messes as they occur, if you’re in the kitchen washing glasses and food bowls out in the middle of the party, then your guests will see this as a sign that they are welcome to leave. Though you may hate to see a mess, remember that having a fun party is more important than having everything clean by the time the last guest leaves.  Even if there are only a few guests left, cleaning up sends the message that you want them to leave. If you really are ready for the party to end, it’s better to be honest about it than hoping they get the message. You can also arrange to have a friend or two stay late to help you clean up in advance. This will keep you from worrying about having a huge mess on your hands at the end of the party. If someone spills wine on your carpet, tips over that bowl of nachos, or accidentally knocks over a painting, try not to act too upset or to make your guests feel bad about what happened. After all, you’re the one who decided to throw a party, and big messes come with the territory. If you get visibly upset or stressed out, then your guest will feel terrible and people will think you’re too uptight to throw a fun party.  Just say something like, “Don’t worry about it at all. This kind of thing always happens at parties, and it’s no big deal.” If you want to avoid damaging anything that really means a lot to you, then you can move out meaningful keepsakes, vases, or souvenirs before the party starts. You should be warm and welcoming toward your guests for the duration of the party. If you’ve mentioned an end time and that time has not come yet, then you’ll have to do your best to continue being a good hostess and making other people welcome in your home. You don’t want guests to suddenly feel like they’re being a burden to you or that you just want them to go home already. Remember that you’re the one who decided to throw a fun party, and that...

TL;DR in English: Don’t clean up while your guests are still there. Stay calm if someone makes a mess. Make your guests feel welcome until the end of the night. Consider leaving your guests with parting gifts. Thank your guests for coming.

With a topic outline, the headings and subpoints are all given in single words or short phrases. With a sentence outline, all of the headings and subpoints are provided in complete sentences.  Topic outlines are usually used when your research deals with many different issues that can be arranged in different ways. Sentence outlines are usually used if your research focuses on complex issues. Some instructors will insist that you must not combine these two forms. Many others, however, offer one exception to this guideline by allowing the main section headings to be short phrases while the remaining subpoints are written as full sentences. This structure uses a series of letters and numbers to identify and arrange section levels. The first level is represented by Roman numerals (I, II, III, IV, etc.), the second level is represented by capital letters (A, B, C, D, etc.), the third level is represented by numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.), and the fourth level is represented by lowercase letters (a, b, c, d, etc.). In sentence outlines, headings and subpoints are almost always written with correct sentence capitalization rules. This is not always the case with topic outlines, though.  One school of thought indicates that first level headings should be written in all capital letters while all remaining headings use standard sentence capitalization rules. Another school of thought suggests that the first level headings should only have the first letter of each word capitalized, rather than the entire word. The remaining headings, again, use standard sentence capitalization rules. Your outline should run no longer than one-quarter to one-fifth the total estimated size of your final research paper.  For a four to five page paper, you only need a single page outline. For a 15 to 20 page paper, your outline will usually run no longer than four pages.

TL;DR in English: Choose between a topic outline and sentence outline. Most outlines use an alpha-numerical structure. Note capitalization issues. Keep matters of length in mind.

A photo of a loved one or a favorite personal memento are the best examples. Keep such an item somewhere you can glance at it whenever you wish to do so.  A vase of flowers on your desk is another good example. If there's nothing in your immediate vicinity to look at, imagine a place or person you enjoy and picture them in your head. This type of simple mental imaging can help calm you down. Vocal toning is a practice that can reduce the amount of stress hormones in your system. It is similar to making the “ohm” sound that is popular with yoga practitioners. Find somewhere private and quiet to try it out.  Sit up straight and make an “mmmm” sound while keeping your lips together and your teeth a bit apart. Though this may seem silly at first, the breathing and the vibrations that this leads to can cause pleasant sensations in your face, heart, and stomach. If you're generally on edge or otherwise anxious at work, a bit of soothing background noise can help calm you down. Singing or humming along with a tune can be especially effective, but so can simply listening to music you enjoy.  Soundtracks of nature noise(s) can also be reliably soothing.  You can find all sorts of recordings of waves, wind, and birds online. Even better, equip your workplace with a small fountain and enjoy the sound of bubbling or running water. Stimulating your other senses with sensations you enjoy can also help calm you down. Keep things like a scented candle, a stress ball to hold, or a healthy and enjoyable snack in your work area, if possible. It's important to note a difference between stress eating and stimulating your sense of taste to help calm down. For instance, you don't want to crush a bag of chips every time your blood starts to boil. That said, chewing a piece of gum might just do the trick!

TL;DR in English: Keep something you like to look at within sight. Try vocal toning. Listen to something you enjoy. Smell, touch, or taste something enjoyable.

Many sites have calculators that will automatically tally up the energy efficiency of your house. It is also helpful if the site can also produce a graph or tally that can demonstrate what your house's potential could be after making some minor changes. ” Most electronic devices and appliances draw energy when they’re plugged in -- even if they’re switched off. Most Americans own 25+ electronic devices. You can cut your energy consumption by unplugging your appliances and devices when they’re not in use.  You can also plug appliances and devices into power strips. Switching the strip off will prevent them from drawing power. Set your computer to “sleep” or “hibernate” when you’re not using it. You can pick up right where you left off when you come back, but your computer will use a lot less energy. Old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs waste up to 90% of their energy as heat. New types of light bulbs, such as compact fluorescent (CFL) and LED bulbs, can dramatically slash your house’s energy consumption for light. In most cases, you don’t have to do a thing to your existing light fixtures. Just buy different bulbs and swap them out!  CFLs are like the fluorescent bulbs in supermarkets, but they’re shaped in a small coil and are about the same shape and size as incandescent bulbs. They last about ten times as long as an incandescent bulb. They’re usually a little bit more expensive, but they pay for themselves within a year. CFLs are a good choice for most home lighting situations. However, they usually cannot be dimmed, and they waste a lot of their energy when used in recessed or “can” lights. Because CFLs contain a small (but rarely dangerous) amount of mercury, they must be disposed of carefully. The Environmental Protection Agency has full instructions on their website.  LEDs last up to 35 times longer than an incandescent bulb, and between 2-4 times longer than CFLs. LEDs are cool to the touch, so they don’t use much energy at all. However, they are usually still more expensive than either incandescent...

If you try to ignore pain, you're only likely to feel it more. Instead of completely ignoring your pain, or trying to push it away when you feel it, accept the fact that breakups come with pain. Even when it's for the best, you will feel sad after you leave someone.  Remember, it's better to feel the pain now than let it come out in different ways later. Allow yourself to cry, be angry, feel regret, or experience any other negative emotions. It's better to feel such things than trying to push them down or ignore them. While these emotions are painful now, remember they are temporary. If you don't deal with the pain directly, you may end up in a rebound relationship. You may also end up going back to your ex to avoid the pain. Even when the pain is very hard to live with, remind yourself how much healthier it is to embrace the pain. Take the time to process your emotions. Before you distract yourself with a movie or video game, ask yourself what it is you are feeling and what it means. Feel the sensations in your body and how they are connected to your emotions. Identify the emotions you are having — are you sad? Angry? Relieved? If you are sad, ask yourself what you have lost. If you are angry, ask how you or your values have been attacked. Try writing about these feelings or expressing yourself through art. Meditate, exercise, and talk to your therapist or friends about how you feel. These are all good ways to cope with the pain. In a bad relationship, you often lose your sense of self. You end up putting your own wants, needs, and passions on hold for another person. When recovering from a bad breakup, it can help to remind yourself who you are. Take this as an opportunity to rediscover yourself.  Is there anything you gave up for the relationship? For example, maybe you had friends your boyfriend did not want you to see. Maybe you had hobbies he was threatened by. Get back to your old self. See friends you did not have time for before. Take up a hobby or interest that went neglected during your...

TL;DR in English: Accept you will experience pain. Get back in touch with your old self. Avoid self-blame. Set standards for future relationships.

Pour 34 ounces (1 liter) of filtered tap water into a large bowl or container that you can easily stir a spoon in. The water should be run through a water filter pitcher or another filtering system to remove any heavy metals, chemicals, or other contaminants. Add ⅛ teaspoon (.6 g) of epsom salts to the water, and mix well to ensure that it’s fully incorporated. Epsom salts adds sodium to the water, which is a common ingredient in commercially made mineral water. Epsom salts are also known as magnesium sulfate. They are often used for medicinal purposes, such as soaking sore muscles, so you can find them at most grocery and drug stores. Add ⅛ teaspoon (.6 g) calcium chloride, and stir well to fully blend it in. Calcium chloride adds calcium to the water, which can help strengthen the bones. Calcium chloride is often used as a preservative for canned foods. You can usually purchase it from stores or online retailers that sell canning and food preservation supplies. Some natural mineral waters are carbonated. You can get the same effect by transferring your mineral water to a seltzer bottle that’s equipped with a carbon dioxide cartridge. However, you can also enjoy the mineral water flat. Pour it into any airtight container and enjoy.

TL;DR in English: Add the filtered water to a container. Stir in the epsom salts. Mix in the calcium chloride. Use a seltzer bottle to carbonate the water or enjoy as is.

. Be honest about why you’ve contacted them. Explain your feelings calmly and maturely. Don’t yell or insult them. If this is your first conversation since the breakup, keep it short, and don’t expect instant friendship. You could say:  “Don’t freak out. I’m not trying to win you back. I just think we’re both entitled to some closure.” “I’m just trying to get some perspective on our split. Tell me honestly why you broke up with me.” (Be aware that this question may bring up some unresolved feelings, so you may encounter some criticism if you go this route.) “We might not be a couple anymore, but I hope we can be friends eventually.” Don’t spend too much time alone together. Instead, hang out with mutual friends. Avoid physical contact, which could stir old feelings. If you’re trying to rekindle the flame with your ex, you shouldn’t try to be their friend. You don’t have to become best friends. However, you’ll at least show your ex that you’ve accepted their new significant other. When you feel comfortable, just smile or say, “Hi” as you pass each other in the hall. If they’re with your ex when you hang out, include them in conversations.

TL;DR in English: Talk to your ex Accept your new status as friends. Reach out to your ex’s new love interest.

. Use mints or gum to freshen your breath. Before your kiss, make sure your breath is minty fresh! Avoid eating garlic, and make sure you brush and floss your teeth. No one wants to kiss someone with bad breath! You can also use mouthwash, breath mints, or chewing gum to keep your breath fresh. To initiate the kiss, it is helpful to be close to your partner on the couch or be cuddling in bed. This way, you can comfortably kiss for a long time!  You can slowly come closer to them and smile at your partner, for instance. Place your hand on your partner's knee to show them your interest. When you want to go for a long kiss, it is best to start slowly and gradually to turn up the passion. Kiss your boyfriend or girlfriend’s hand, arm, chest, ear, and/or cheek. Save the lips for last. They may reciprocate with similar kisses across your body.  Give them light, gentle kisses to arouse them and be suggestive. As you do this, pay attention to their overall body language. If your partner seems stiff or disinterested, try massaging their neck and back, for instance. For an extra flirty touch, you can trace your partner’s lips with your tongue before you go in for the kiss. Maintain eye contact. When you want to start the kiss, look your partner deep in the eyes, and slowly bring your head towards theirs. As you do this, slightly tilt your head so you can align your lips. Maintaining eye contact helps increase the passion and ensure you do not miss. When your lips are nearly touching, gently shut your eyes and go for it! Shutting your eyes helps you focus on the feeling of your partner’s lips, so you can enjoy the moment. Close your eyes when it feels right, rather than planning for the perfect moment. Do what feels natural when kissing your partner. After you make the initial kiss, go back for 2-3 more kisses in a row. Your partner will likely get the hint that this is not just a simple kiss! If your partner tries to French kiss you, you can try pulling back at this point. This will make them want to kiss you even...
