As part of your accounting process, you need to perform an annual stocktaking exercise to determine the value of your inventory.  This means making a list, or inventory, of your stock, noting its location and recording its value.  Tools such as barcodes or radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags help you to keep track of your stock.  You can keep track manually by having staff physically count the stock or electronically with stock control software. This is an important part of inventory management, so you will need to develop a schedule for cycle counting. Many inventory management software systems make it easy to cycle count by category or subcategory, so make sure to prepare what you plan to count each time. Each time you perform a cycle count, you will need to:  Close out any open inventory transactions. Restock all of your overstock, understock, or backstock. Account for all of the received purchase orders and inbound transfers in your system. Put away all items. Close and invoice all completed customer orders. Manual systems work best for small businesses with few stock items.  You can choose from two methods for manual inventory control.  The first is known as the two bin inventory control system.  The second system involves creating a descriptive index and using inventory control cards.  For the two bin system, determine a buying cycle for items and the amount purchased in each cycle.  For example, offices may purchase office supplies weekly or monthly.  To begin, purchase enough of the item to last two buying cycles.  Divide the items into two bundles.  When the first bundle is used up, it's time to reorder enough for one buying cycle of the item.  Materials from the second bundle are used while the materials are being reordered. For the second system, create an index that lists all of the items in inventory and a file of cards for each item.  On each card, record an item description.  When an item is purchased or reordered, someone records the amount received, the unit price and other information...

TL;DR in English: Perform regular stocktaking. Make sure to include cycle counting. Use a manual method. Use computer software.

Giving up on something you want can be frightening, but actually doing so can be a relief. Unconsciously, you've been motivated to pursue him—he's been your goal. Make a conscious decision to no longer pursue him. It may help to write this down, to tell a friend, or even to hold a small ceremony for yourself.  Consider gathering things you have that make you think of him and putting them in a box, throwing them away, or giving them away. Once your private space is cleared of reminders, consider holding a small cleansing ceremony. Burn some sage incense and walk through your room or your home.  When a wish for him comes up, don't suppress it and don't cling to it. Acknowledge how you feel, but remind yourself that you are choosing to move on. Don't push away feelings of sadness when they come. It's totally natural and healthy to be sad when you have feelings for someone and it doesn't work out. Take a week or a few weeks to grieve. Cry if you can: if your feelings are hurt, you are actually hurt, and you will do better to acknowledge it. Crying can be extremely therapeutic.  Listen to music that lets you feel your feelings. Exercise. It helps to clear your mind and you will be healthier. Write in a diary if you have one. Write a letter to him if you want. Keep it for a week or two before you give it to him, or don't give it to him at all. The point is to get your feelings out. Go on some long walks by yourself. You'll have time to think, and you'll feel better for the exercise. Know when to stop. If you're dropping the people and projects that matter to you, you're grieving too much. Consult a therapist if you can't get back into your normal life. Did he lead you on, acting like he liked you for attention? Did you pursue him relentlessly even after he let you know that it wasn't going to work? Was everyone honest and considerate, or was bad behavior involved? If you feel like you misbehaved, apologize.  If you feel like he did something wrong, and you're friends, consider letting him know that you feel hurt....

TL;DR in English: Release your hope for him. Grieve. Evaluate his behavior and your own. Remind yourself of things you didn't like about him.

Cut the lemon in half, from tip to tip. This makes a more flexible lemon peel, easier to squeeze. If you have a hinge-style hand juicer cut them crosswise instead for a better fit. The mesh will catch the lemon seeds and pulp, letting the juice drain through. An all-purpose juicer will put a great deal of bitter pith in your juice, and its metal blades may corrode over time. Buy a specialized citrus juicer for better results.  If using an all-purpose juicer, peel the lemon first or wash it thoroughly to remove trace pesticides. Many experts agree that hand-squeezed juice tastes better, possibly because an electric machine scrapes away too much pith, or fails to break out flavorful oils from the peel.

TL;DR in English: Cut the lemon lengthwise. Place a mesh strainer over a bowl. Buy an electric citrus juicer for large quantities.

Your non-padded bra should fit comfortably and correctly. Wearing a padded bra while taking the measurement can prevent an accurate measurement. If you don’t have a non-padded bra, you can purchase a cheap one at stores like Walmart and Target. Take the inch side of a measuring tape and place it firmly around your body just underneath your breasts and below your armpits. Keep your arms as close as possible to your body to get an accurate measurement of your band size. If this becomes too difficult for you to do yourself, ask a friend to help. Look in the mirror to make sure that the tape is parallel to the floor along your back and breasts. You shouldn’t have any fingers underneath the measuring tape. To get the most accurate band size, round the number up to the closest whole number and then add five to allow room for the increase in bust size as your pregnancy progresses. For instance, if the measurement you obtain is 39.5 inches (100.3 cm), rounding up to the nearest whole number is 40. Adding 5 inches (12.7 cm) would mean that your band size is 45 inches (114.3 cm).

TL;DR in English:


Check the banjo. Hold the banjo upright.

After scooping your head in a round, upward motion and arching your back, straighten your arms, lift your torso, and look upwards. Your hips should be down towards the floor, but not touching the floor. At this point, you have pretty much completed the Hindu push-up, but you still need to return to the starting position. To return to the starting position, lower your torso and lift your hips to return to the V position; use your abs and gluteus maximus, i.e., your butt muscles, to bring your backside up into the air. As you push back to the starting position, inhale deeply through your nose, and exhale through your mouth as you reach the V position. To return to the starting position, you do not need to reverse back through the sweeping, arching motion. Simply push back into the starting position. If you are a beginner, it is recommended that you do as many push-ups or repetitions as you are able to, for example, 3 or 5 repetitions is fine. If you need to rest during the exercise, take a break in the starting V position. As you become better you can add more sets and repetitions. For example, you can do 2 sets of 3 repetitions or push-ups. If you are more advanced, you can do more sets with more repetitions. For example, 3 sets with 8 to 10 push-ups or repetitions. These push-ups should be done seamlessly in a sweeping motion without delay between each part.

TL;DR in English: Straighten your arms and look up. Return to the starting position. Repeat.

Start by washing your hair as per usual, and then use a deep conditioner to help soften your strands. Leave the conditioner on your hair for the amount of time recommended on the bottle, then rinse it out with cool water. To minimize dryness and frizz, use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. When you’ve rinsed your conditioner out, use a wide-tooth comb to brush out all the tangles, starting from the ends and working towards the roots. For even gentler detangling, use your fingers to tease out any knots and tangles. Use your hairdryer on “low” to blow out your curls, so that they are almost completely dry. Brush out your hair once more to make sure there are no knots, and then you’re ready to start your braids. Blow-drying your hair will help stretch and relax the curls, reducing frizz and making the hair easier to manage during the braiding process. Box braids use ‘braid hair’ – synthetic hair strands that are very long – to fill in the space on your scalp and give you plenty of fullness in your braids. Take each chunk of hair out of the packages individually, and hold them in the center, cutting off the elastic bands holding it together. With a grip on the center and the 2 tail ends of the hair hanging down, begin pulling the strands on 1 side of the hair. This will give the ends of your hair a more natural look, otherwise the packaged hair is blunt-cut straight across and your braids will look a bit unnatural when you’re finished.  Choose your braid hair in a color similar to your own, and get at least 2 large packages. The longer and thicker you want your braids to be, the more packages of braid hair you will need. If you want shorter braids, use fewer packages and cut the braid hair into halves or thirds. When you’re pulling the hair, gently tug at small strands rather than big portions of hair. Run your fingers through the hair when you’re finished evening out the ends to remove any knots that might have shown up. Section off your first piece of braiding hair into a strand that is about 2–3 inches...

TL;DR in English: Wash and condition your hair. Detangle your hair. Blow-dry your hair to relax and defrizz your curls. Prepare your packages of braiding hair. Get a strand of braiding-hair ready for braiding. Section off your hair on your scalp for braiding. Start your first braid. Braid your section of hair Braid additional sections of hair. Perfect each braid.

When a bow is not being used, the strings should be loose so they don’t accidentally get damaged. Remove your bow from its case and turn the screw at the end clockwise to tighten the hair until it is about the width of an index finger's length away from the wood. Be careful not to over-tighten the hair or they can break. The bow should be slightly bent inwards, not straight or bending outwards. The part at the end of the bow, near the hair screw, is called the “frog,” and that is where you hold the bow. Hold it between your thumb and the first 3 fingers of your right hand with the hair facing down. Your thumb should be closest to you and your fingers stay on the outside of the frog piece. Keep your fingers rounded and your hand relaxed, as if you’re holding an imaginary tennis ball in your hand. Choose a string to play. Gently press the bow hair down on the string above the cello bridge. As you move the bow, keep applying pressure down on the string. To play soft or loud, lessen or add pressure while moving the string. Keep the bow parallel to the cello bridge as you play. Draw the bow out and in. Keep your elbow up and don’t hug your arm against your torso.  You can draw the bow back and forth as you play; the length you play each note is determined by the notes in your sheet music. Imagine your elbows floating as you make bow strokes. They should remain in the same position in relationship to your body as you move your right arm back and forth from the shoulder.

TL;DR in English: Tighten the hair of the bow before you play. Hold the bow “frog” in your right fingers with a rounded hand shape. Place the bow on a string halfway between the end of the fingerboard and the bridge. Move the bow across the string parallel to the bridge.

There are a variety of paper and gel masks available for purchase. Masks specifically formulated for hydration give you an extra boost by applying a layer of moisturizer directly to the skin and letting it soak in for 15-20 minutes. The mask is applied all over the face, except for the eyes and lip areas.  Masks labeled 'non-comedogenic' are best for people who have problems with acne. Cream masks and paper sheet masks tend to be the best option for hydration.

TL;DR in English: Use a hydrating face mask 1-2 times per week.

If you want to use this method, you'll need to make sure that there is enough space in between the head tension bracket hooks to thread the strap completely through. You can use this method for most bluegrass banjos, especially those with a one-piece flange, but open back banjos and beginner banjos may not have enough space and will require a different technique. Position the banjo in your lap so that the neck faces straight up and the strings face toward you. The neck of the banjo should represent the "12 o'clock" position of the instrument.

Avoiding dairy isn't as simple as no longer drinking milk. Dairy is used in many different foodstuffs to give it a better taste. As such, you'll need to read food labels. Most foods that use some form of dairy, will list “milk” as an additive. The FDA requires that milk be listed under its provision for allergies. If milk isn't listed as an ingredient, you should be ok. You'll want to look for casein and whey as well. Both of these additives are proteins found in cow's milk and make their way into a variety of foods. Whey is used in a variety of products from muscle building supplements to canned chicken broth. This is often the hardest dairy category to give up because we are conditioned to enjoy milk with so many different foods. It becomes a part of our daily activities. Here are some of the most common milk- and cream-based foods:  Milk (whole, 50/50, skim, or condensed milk) Heavy whipping cream Custards Coffee creamer Cream sauces and soups Ice cream, gelatos, and sherbets (sorbets contain no dairy products) Yogurts Some mayonnaise, mustard, and other condiments Non-dairy coffee creamer. Casein is an animal byproduct so it won't work for vegans. Check the labels of your products before you buy to ensure they don't contain butter or margarine. Butter is made by separating cream from whole milk. The cream is then churned until it thickens.  Some nutritionists claim that butters are the least harmful form of dairy to those with dairy allergies or lactose processing problems. Most people who face these issues have problems with the proteins found in milk. Since butter is 80 to 82 percent fat and contains relatively little protein, it doesn't tend to bother patients with dairy problems. For vegans, there are many margarines made without any cow byproducts. Check the label to make sure they don't contain whey, casein, or lactose. Cheeses in all forms constitute dairy. Obviously, you'll want to skip sliced cheeses on your sandwiches. Main dishes like pizza, burritos, tacos, and casseroles have cheeses in them....

TL;DR in English: Read labels on your food purchases. Avoid milk- and cream-based foods. Get rid of butter and most margarines that contain whey, casein, or lactose. Don't eat cheeses. Be wary of baked items.

Using a sharp knife, cut the crusts off of all four sides of the toast and discard.  Some recipes suggest doing this step before toasting the bread, but it will be easier to cut through the bread if you remove the crust after toasting. Using a very sharp serrated knife, cut the width of the toast in half through the untoasted center of the bread, leaving you with two very skinny slices of full-sized toast.  Be sure you are cutting through the soft center of the bread, not changing the dimensions of the bread itself. Place your hand on top of the toast as it is laying flat on the cutting board and cut in towards the center. Rotate the toast while you cut until you have two pieces of toast. Be sure to do this step while the bread is still warm. Using your knife, cut the toasts into the size and shape you would like them to be for serving.  Store-bought melba comes in squares or rectangles, but many people prefer the look of triangular toasts. Determine the size you want based on the purpose for the toast.  Small hors d'oeuvres may call for smaller toasts than toasts accompanying soup. Continue to toast and cut the bread until you have enough pieces for your event or the number of people you wish to serve.

TL;DR in English: Cut the crusts off of the toast. Cut the toast in half. Cut the toasts into smaller pieces. Repeat the toasting and cutting process.

In order to figure out what you need to change, it’s helpful to take stock of your current situation. To get a sense of which pieces of your life you want to recreate, ask yourself a series of questions, and use the answers to help you decide what needs to change. Start by asking:  Are you mostly happy or mostly sad? How is your self-image? Do you feel healthy and fit? Are your relationships healthy or toxic? Do you have dreams and goals, or do you just live day by day? What do you value most and what’s important to you? What roles do you have to balance? Sit down in a quiet place and close your eyes. Once you’re comfortable and calm, try to picture your ideal life. This might mean envisioning people or circumstances that you want to leave behind.   While you are visualizing, you might choose to concentrate on a feeling that you want to create, such as peace or love. You can also try to picture a particular circumstance, such as an exciting new career. Once you have a vision, put pen to paper. Writing about what you want can help make it seem more concrete. Take some time to write about the things and feelings that you want in your recreated life.   Choose a writing style that works for you. You can make lists, create detailed scenes, or even write dialogue about the way you imagine your new life playing out. You might write about a scene where you nail an interview for your dream job, for example. To do this, you can use pictures or objects that represent the changes you want to make. For example, if you want to move to California, you could keep a map of the state in your car.  You could also create a vision board where you gather images. You might pin a picture of a house you like or someone you admire. You could also put applicable quotes and sayings.

TL;DR in English: Take inventory of your life. Visualize your ideal life. Write about your new life. Create visual reminders of your goals to keep them in sight.

Some people do not know that you can take nail clippers apart but it is quite easy to do. To take the clippers apart, you will need to squeeze the blades together. Then, flip the handle up and over to the front of the blades and pull the handle off of the pin.  The pin should fall right out after you release the handle. Set the pin and the handle aside. All you need to clean your nail clippers is a bit of rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. Get a cotton swab and dip it into some rubbing alcohol. If you don’t have rubbing alcohol, then you can try using some alcohol based mouthwash or vinegar. Wipe the tip of the cotton swab over all surfaces of the nail clippers. Pay special attention to the area around the blades since this are will likely be the dirtiest. Make sure that you clean the pin and handle with the cotton swab as well.  If you want to deep clean your nail clippers, then you might hold them under warm running water and use an old toothbrush to clean the blades, pin, and handle with a little dish soap. Rinse and dry all parts of the clippers after you are done. Do not try to clean the blades with your fingers or you might cut yourself. It is recommended to clean your nail clippers before each use, especially if you share nail clippers with other people. After you have finished cleaning all surfaces of the clippers, you can put them back together. Insert the pin through the hole so that the pin notch is near the top of the clippers. Then, squeeze the blades together and thread the open end of the handle through the pin notch.

TL;DR in English: Take the clippers apart. Apply rubbing alcohol to a cotton swab. Clean all surfaces of the clippers. Put the clippers back together.

Assemble the ladder before you place the posts in the holes. Use the 2x6 to connect the posts. Mark the posts where the rungs will go. Cut the rungs to the appropriate size and shape. Fasten the rungs to the posts.

Cantaloupes, also known as muskmelons, are available in dozens of cultivated and heirloom varieties, and grow best in hot weather, at least 2-3 months of consistent warmth. Cantaloupes love very sandy and loamy soil with good drainage, and a pH of around 6.  Varieties good for cooler climates include Hale's Best, Sarah's Choice, and Eden's Gem. Varieties noted for their flavor include Hearts of Gold, Ambrosia, Athena, and Honey Bun. Pay particular attention to the time to maturity listed on the seed package. Most of the time, you won't buy cantaloupe starts, you'll purchase seeds and start them yourself. On the seed package, pay particular attention to planting advice and information about keeping them safe, and pay particularly close attention to the length of time to maturation. If you want to save cantaloupe seeds from a particularly-delicious melon for planting, scoop them from the flesh and soak them for two days in cool water, then dry them thoroughly on a paper towel. Store them in a clean, dry jar in a cool, dark environment until you're ready to start your melons. While viable for around two years, it's usually best to plant seeds within the year. The most important part of planting and growing cantaloupe is warm soil and enough space. The vines need some room to spread out, regardless of whether you plan on trellising or letting the melons mature on the ground, so you'll need a fairly wide bed, depending on how large a crop you're going to plant. It's a common misconception and fear that cantaloupes will cross with other members of the same family, including cucumbers, other melons, squash, and pumpkins. They won't. Don't worry about planting your vining fruits in the same area of your garden plot. Most strange or bland-flavored cantaloupe is not the result of accidental cross-breeding, but the result of environmental factors or other problems. Lay compost or well-rotted manure evenly on your planting bed to create a rich feeding area for the cantaloupe. 6-8 inches of well-tilled soil is...

TL;DR in English: Select a hardy variety appropriate for your climate. Select an appropriate location for cantaloupe. Prepare the soil. Consider starting cantaloupe indoors. In your plot, create mounds for planting. Plant your cantaloupe.

A basic spray paint or latex-acrylic paint will do just fine on a decorative piece or a door. Polyurethane or epoxy paint are better suited to surfaces that will see a lot of heavy use, such as boats, bathtubs, and sinks. Polyurethane paint is ready to use. Epoxy paint must be mixed with a catalyst, just like epoxy resin. The catalyst is usually sold with the epoxy paint. Most polyurethane and epoxy paints do not require primers, but most spray paints and latex-acrylic paints do. If your paint requires a primer, make sure that you buy the same kind of primer and topcoat (i.e. spray paint primer for spray paint, oil-based primer and topcoat for oil-based paint, etc.).  Check the label on the bucket or can of paint to find out if you need a primer and topcoat. Set the topcoat aside for later. If you are using the brush-on kind, simply apply it with a foam roller or a paintbrush. If you are using the spray-on kind, apply a light, even coat. Allow the primer to dry to the touch before applying a second coat. If your primer is not coming out evenly, apply it in short bursts rather than a single, sweeping, side-to-side motion. How long this takes depends on the product that you used. Some primers cure within a few hours while others take much longer. Just because the primer feels dry, that does not mean that it is cured and ready to be painted. Make sure to check the label. If you apply the paint before the primer finishes curing, the final surface may be tacky. If you are working with epoxy paint, you will need to mix the 2 parts together (epoxy and catalyst) first; other types of paint do not require any preparation. Apply the paint systematically, working from the right to the left (or left-to-right if you are left-handed), top-to-bottom. For more specific instructions:  Brush-on paint: pour the paint onto a tray, then apply it with a foam roller first. Smooth it out with a fine-bristled paintbrush.  Spray paint: apply the paint in short bursts, rather than one continuous, side-to-side motion.  How much you use...

TL;DR in English: Purchase the right type of paint for your surface. Purchase the right type of primer and topcoat, if needed. Coat the surface with 1 to 2 coats of primer. Allow the primer to dry and cure. Apply your first coat of paint. Let the paint dry, then add a second layer, if needed. Allow the paint to cure completely.

If you see a student getting bullied or hurt, help them out. As a leader, it is your responsibility to help defend students that cannot defend themselves. There are several ways to handle difficult situations between students.  Separate the students immediately and ask if everyone is ok. By calming everyone down and diffusing the situation, students will be able to relax and explain what exactly happened. Ask a teacher or staff for assistance if the situation is too big to handle on your own. Sometimes having an adult present is the only way that students will behave, so asking for help should always come to mind in difficult situations. Encourage students to report any injustices to you or to school officials. If someone tells you about a specific situation, let a school counselor know so they can approach the student professionally. Students should feel safe in school, and you can do a lot to make your school a better environment for everyone. You have to remember that this isn't a job  just for you, but with school faculty as well.   Suggest to have hall monitors to supervise students between classes. Hall monitors can help make sure that everything is running smoothly while everyone is going to class. In case there is a problem, a hall monitor can address it or let an instructor know about the issue. Help post anti-bullying posters around the school. By doing this, students will be aware of how they act and treat each other. Putting reminders for everyone will see can help reduce bullying. Come up with workshops or seminars to help students speak up if they are being bullied. Knowing what kind of problems your classmates have at school is important, especially students that are shy or do not like to speak up. Many students do not want to openly admit they have problems. It is your job to try and identify these issues.  Let students know that you are available to talk with them whenever they need to. Tell students your locker number so they can leave anonymous notes with the issues that bother them. You...

TL;DR in English: Help defend students that are being bullied. Plan activities to help end bullying. Find out what issues students care about.

The easiest way to randomly find Daedric equipment is to reach a high enough level and start clearing out as many dungeons as you can. This involves making your way through the dungeon, fighting monsters, bypassing traps and then defeating the boss monsters at the end of the dungeon. You will eventually reach the end of the dungeon where you will find a large, prominent chest containing valuable loot - the boss chest of the dungeon. Daedric weapons and armor start appearing in the boss chests you find at the end of each dungeon; typically before you find a shortcut leading out of the dungeon you just cleared. All you need to do is roam Skyrim, find random dungeons to explore and clear them out. Unenchanted Daedric weapons start appearing at level 46, enchanted Daedric weapons start appearing at level 47, unenchanted Daedric armor starts appearing at level 48 and enchanted Daedric armor starts appearing at level 49. If you have the Dragonborn expansion installed, you will come across Black Books that grant you a variety of powers for you to use as you need them. The Black Book: Untold Legends can be found in Benkongerike in Solstheim, and choosing the Black Market power will give you the ability to summon a Dremora Merchant for 15 seconds that you can buy from and sell to. Once you reach level 47, the Black Merchant will begin selling enchanted and unenchanted Daedric equipment. The Dremora Merchant is the only merchant not affiliated to the Thieves Guild that will sell Daedric armor and weapons to you. Becoming a member of the Thieves Guild and progressing through the Guild’s questline will open up fences that you can sell stolen goods to while offering a variety of equipment, consumables and crafting components. Two of these fences, Tonilia and Niranye, will occasionally stock Daedric weapons that you can buy once you hit level 47.  Tonilia can be found in the Ragged Flagon, and you can begin trading with her once you complete the quest “Taking Care of Business.” She will stock up all sorts of Daedric...

TL;DR in English: Loot high-level boss chests at the end of dungeons. Buy from the Dremora Merchant at higher levels. Buy from two of the Thieves Guild fences. Slay Revered or Legendary Dragons.

This will make it easier to build. After you attach all of the posts and insert the ladder into the hole, you will need to measure the top and bottom of the ladder to make sure that they are evenly spaced. Then cement the ladder. Saw the board to 45-46” (1.1-1.2 m) so that it’s just the right length to bridge the gap between the vertical supports and complete the frame, which is 42" (1 m) wide. Line up the ends of the 2x6 with the outer edges of the posts and nail or screw it down at both ends. This piece will serve as the upper portion of the frame.  You'll need to stand on a ladder or step stool while affixing the top piece and individual rungs. Buying precut lumber will save you some time, if you don’t mind paying a little extra. That way, all you’ll have to do is assemble the individual pieces once you get them home. Your starting point on the Salmon Ladder will be decided primarily by your unique stature. You want it to be low enough to climb safely and comfortably, but not so low that you’re forced to stoop or crouch to get in position. Once you’ve decided on the optimal placement for the first set of rungs, space every next set 12" (30 cm) apart.  A good way to determine where to put the lowest rungs is to reach up along the frame with one hand (without stretching too far) and draw a line on the side of the post. Measure and mark each set separately and use a flat board or straight edge to make sure they’re evenly aligned. 12” (30 cm) rung spacing is the official standard used for the American Ninja Warrior course, but yours can be more or less as you see fit.  For beginners, 6" (15 cm) rung spacing can be helpful for learning how to do the Salmon Ladder. Starting on one end of the 2x4, draw a line at a 30-35 degree angle every 12” (30 cm). Saw the board along these lines to fashion the individual rungs for the ladder. Keep in mind that you’ll need an even number of rungs, one for each side.  If you are spacing your rungs at 6" (15 cm), then you will need to draw your lines every 6" (15 cm) instead of...

Take a cutting from a plant that is growing slowly.

Take a cutting from an herb plant between spring and fall, when the plants are healthy and growing steadily. Avoid cuttings on plants that are currently flowering. Focus on cuttings from new growth, rather than old growth. Avoid cuttings from plants that have been overly fertilized. Water herb plants thoroughly at least 12 hours before taking cuttings.

A selfie of yourself standing before a mirror with your phone visible is now a cliche. Turn the phone around and take the picture for better results. Most recent smartphones can take a picture so that you can see what’s being taken in the screen.  You can also try propping your phone or camera against something and using the timer feature to take your picture. Even a selfie stick can help you take a more flattering picture. If you must take a picture in front of a mirror, hold the phone/camera at shoulder height and tilt it upwards. If you zoom in enough, this will keep the phone/camera out of the picture. Your face against a white background can seem a little boring. Try taking your picture in front of natural scenery, your work environment, or even a colored background. Don’t make the background too busy, however, If your profile picture is of you at a concert, your face might be lost in the crowd. You want to find a balance between a picture that is too dark and one that is too bright. It’s hard to take a good picture at night, and daylight between 11 pm and 1 pm is typically too harsh for good pictures. Try to take your profile picture in the morning or around sunset.  Natural light is thought to be best for pictures. You can take a good profile picture with indoor light, however. Just position yourself so that the light source is not shining directly on you. If you have to use flash, try to get someone to take the picture of you so that the flash won’t reflect too strongly off of your body.

TL;DR in English: Don’t take the picture in front of a mirror. Include some attractive scenery. Take the picture in good lighting.

While they might want to wear their favorite animal onesie day in and day out, you will have to pick out some nice clothes for your kids. For girls, dresses in bright colors or floral patterns are a great option. Boys can wear corduroys or khakis and a collared shirt. Other clothing ideas include:  For girls: A dress and sweater; a skirt and blouse; some khakis, a blouse, and a sweater. For boys: Khakis and a button up shirt; corduroys and a sweater; slacks and a polo shirt. While it’s important to keep the dress code in mind, you also don’t want fidgeting children making a ruckus at the baptism. When picking out their outfits, like the ones listed in the previous step, make sure that the materials are comfortable and loose fitting. If possible, let your kids pick out which fancy clothes they want to wear--they will be happier if they’ve picked out what they want to wear. You can skip the tights for your little girls--this is a semi-formal event and there is no need to squish them into tights unless specifically asked to do so by the church or family that is having the baptism. Like tights, fancy, uncomfortable kids shoes are probably not necessary. However, it is your call. If you do decide to have your kids wear dress shoes, make sure to bring comfortable shoes that they can change into for the reception.

TL;DR in English: Dress your kids up in church-appropriate clothing. Think about comfort. Pick out comfortable shoes.

While you want to find the right man, be the right partner in the relationship for your future husband. It’s easy to blame someone for what’s going wrong in your relationship. However, you cannot change someone, you can only change yourself. If you frame a person into being the “right” or “wrong” man, it misses consideration of your part in the relationship. You alone are responsible for the relationship you want. Take responsibility for your own feelings without blaming your partner, and notice if he does this, too. If you feel frustrated, speak up or do something to change things on your own initiative. Recognize from the start that you will not marry a perfect man. He has flaws and he will trigger you. Before you get married, make sure you have some awareness of the things that annoy you or bother you. You might get annoyed by home life things (like a messy man) or lifestyle things (like a man who spends a lot of time with friends). Know what things bother you or annoy you and don’t plan on them magically disappearing when you get married. More likely, they will magnify.  Accept that there will be lots of things you disagree on. Be ready to accept him as he is without feeling the need to change him. Accept that you have flaws, too. Be ready for them to come to light. If you fall in love with someone yet some big problems already exist, like a drinking or drug problem, halt your feelings for a bit. Step outside of your emotions and step into a more rational mindset. Ask yourself if there are things that you’re avoiding or overlooking that are important to acknowledge. If you’re hoping problems will magically work themselves out, be realistic in how they might actually turn out. Don’t expect things to get better. For example, if the man is violent or has an addiction, don’t expect him to change just because you might get married. Be cautious.

TL;DR in English: Take responsibility. Accept his flaws. Heed any warning signs.

When you survive a heart attack, it is essential to follow your doctor's advice for recovery, both in the days immediately following the occurrence and over the long term. There is a good chance you will be prescribed medication to reduce blood clotting. You will most likely take this medication for the rest of your life. It is quite common for people who have survived a heart attack to experience bouts of depression. Depression can stem from embarrassment, self-doubt, feelings of inadequacy, guilt over previous lifestyle choices, and fear or uncertainty about the future. A supervised physical recovery program, renewed social connections with family, friends and co-workers, and professional psychological help are some ways in which survivors can return to normal life after a heart attack. If you have a heart attack you are at a higher risk of a second heart attack; nearly one-third of the heart attacks in the United States each year happen to people who have survived a previous attack. The following factors will put you at an even higher risk of a second heart attack:  Smoking. If you smoke, there is almost twice the chance that you will have a heart attack.  High cholesterol. An unhealthy cholesterol level is one of the most important contributors to a heart attack and other heart complications. Cholesterol can be especially dangerous when it occurs in conjunction with high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking.  Diabetes, particularly if not controlled properly, can increase the chance of a heart attack.  Obesity. Being overweight can raise your cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and lead to heart complications. Additionally, obesity can lead to diabetes, another factor that puts you at risk of a second heart attack. Medical complications from an unhealthy lifestyle put you at a greater risk of a second heart attack.  Inactivity, obesity, high cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure, stress, and smoking all increase the risk of a heart attack.  Reduce your consumption of saturated and trans fats....

TL;DR in English: Follow professional medical advice after the heart attack. Be aware of changes in your emotions and outlook. Know the risks of a second heart attack. Make changes in your lifestyle.

Many herbs slow down growth when temperatures begin to drop, so cuttings taken during cooler weather may not root. The cutting is not likely to root strongly while flowering because the plant's energy is focused on the flowers, not the root. If you do take a cutting from an herb that is flowering, remove the flowers from the cutting before propagating. The new growth on most herbs is lighter in color and higher up on the plant. The new growth is most likely to root because the stems aren't as hard. If a plant has been heavily fertilized to stimulate growth, it is unlikely a cutting will take root. Rather, take cuttings from healthy plants that are growing steadily without the need for excessive fertilizer. Well saturated plants are likely to produce healthy cuttings.

TL;DR in English:


Study other character designs for inspiration. Write a list of interests and character traits you want to include. Make a list of features that you can exaggerate for your character. Choose distinctive details for your character to make it unique. Select colors that communicate the character’s personality. Add accessories to your character to emphasize their traits.

After you have selected the appropriate attachment for the job, attach the piece to your deburring tool. You may need to consult your user’s manual to determine how to attach the piece. Make sure that the attachment is locked securely in place before you switch it on. While some larger objects might stay put on their own, it will be difficult (and unsafe) to deburr a smaller item that is not secured in place. For example, a piece of furniture may not need to be secured, but a piece of wood or a pipe will need to be secured in place. Try using a vice to secure smaller items and prevent them from moving around as you deburr them. Next, pick up your deburring tool and hold it firmly by the handle. Then, switch on your deburring tool when you are ready to use it. You may want to start out by using the lowest setting and then increase the speed if necessary. Hold the tool so that it is right up against the edge you wish to deburr. For example, if you are deburring the edge of a piece of wood, then place the tool right up against the edge. You do not need to press hard to deburr the item, just ensure that the tool makes contact with the edge of the object you are deburring. To ensure that the edge is completely deburred, it may be necessary to go over it with the deburring tool two or three times. Start at one end and move all the way to the end, or select a starting point if you are deburring a circular item.  If you are deburring a pipe or other circular area, then you may just have to let the deburring tool rotate two or three times. If you are deburring an edge, then you will need to drag the tool back and forth across the area two or three times. After you have finished deburring the item, remove the tool and turn it off. Then, check the edges of the area you just deburred to ensure that you got all of the larger burrs.  If there are still some burrs left, then you can always go over it again. You can also sand the edges of the area you just deburred to ensure that it is nice and smooth. Use a fine grit...

TL;DR in English: Secure your attachment. Make sure that the object you are deburring is locked in place. Turn on the deburring tool. Place the deburring tool against the edge. Go over the area two or three times. Check the edges to ensure all burrs have been removed.

Frankincense has long been used as part of the practice of aromatherapy, using natural fragrances to counteract a wide range of afflictions. The next time you’re feeling depressed or overwhelmed, dab a little frankincense oil on your wrists or burn it in a scent diffuser. The calming effects of the dry, earthy, spicy aroma will help you instantly feel more at ease.  Fill the air with frankincense while you work, study or meditate. Essential oils like frankincense just smell good, even if you’re not a believer in holistic treatments. Squeeze a few drops into a steaming bath and breathe in the rich vapors. As you soak, you’ll feel the tension in your muscles fading and your worries slipping away. Frankincense also works wonders as a natural moisturizer, so your skin will feel soft and smooth long after you climb out of the tub.  If you prefer a hot shower, try infusing a washcloth or loofah with frankincense oil before you lather up. Enhancing a bath will save you the trouble of applying a moisturizer as a separate step. Forget about addictive sleep aids and medications that leave you feeling groggy. A less disruptive alternative is to burn some frankincense oil in a vaporizer on your bedside table as you drift off. You’re certain to experience a full night of restorative sleep as the pleasant fragrance gently comforts and banishes restlessness. The relaxing floral notes of frankincense can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Combine frankincense oil with a splash of peppermint, sage or juniper essence for your next couples or self-massage session. Not only will it glide over your skin like velvet, it can actually promote muscular relaxation and help heal damaged tissue at a deeper level. After a few rubdowns, you’ll never need to book an appointment at the spa again.  Work frankincense oil into sore, aching muscles and joints rather than relying on oral pain relievers. Rub a drop of oil into your temples or between your palms and breathe slowly and deeply when you begin to feel stressed out.

TL;DR in English: Let the scent relax and comfort you. Add it to a bath. Use it to get to sleep. Try it as a massage oil.

If your friend doesn't know that you have a romantic interest in them, tell them in a straightforward but non-threatening way. Explain that you are attracted to them and want to pursue a romantic relationship with them. Make it clear that you will understand if they don't feel the same way but that you wanted to be honest about your feelings either way.  For instance, say, "I have strong feelings for you and I want to be more than just a friend, but I will totally understand if you aren't interested in taking things to the next level." An unrequited crush can put tension on a friendship over time, so it is good to be honest regardless of the outcome. Moving from friendship to romance is a risk that may be challenging to take. Share any worries you have about losing your close relationship to see if they feel the same way. Ask if there are any other concerns about the situation that they have to get a clear understanding of what obstacles may be facing you both. For example, say something like, "You're my best friend and I'm not sure if my romantic feelings for you are worth losing you entirely." Communicate your romantic wants and needs clearly to your partner from the start. Avoid the assumption that they will intuitively know how what will be okay with you and make you happy. Be sure to outline any behaviour that you consider unacceptable from a romantic partner so they know how you want to be treated. For instance, say something like, "I believe in monogamy and I can't tolerate cheating in a romantic relationship." After transitioning from friendship to a relationship, you may think that you already know what your partner wants romantically. Always check with your partner to see what goals and desires they have as these may change over time, and in different situations. If you catch yourself guessing what they might like, stop and ask them about it to double check. They will appreciate your effort and concern about their feelings. For instance, if your partner noted in the past that they didn't want a...

TL;DR in English: State your interest simply if you are still just friends. Share your concerns with your best friend to maintain honesty. Establish the boundaries of your new relationship to avoid misunderstandings. Avoid making assumptions about what your partner wants.

Place the vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, dill seeds, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and turmeric in a 4-qt (4-L) saucepan. Set the pan on the stove over medium-high heat.  You can use white vinegar, cider vinegar, or red wine vinegar; each will add a slightly different flavor profile and tint to the finished relish. Similarly, you can use white sugar or brown sugar. White sugar works best with white vinegar and red wine vinegar, while brown sugar works best with cider vinegar. You can add the spices directly to the vinegar and sugar, but if you prefer a clear relish, consider placing them in a spice bag or cheesecloth satchel instead. This bundle of spices can be removed before you pour the relish into jars. Allow the mixture to reach a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to medium and drop the liquid to a simmer. Allow the pickling mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. The sugar should be fully dissolved before you continue. Add the cucumbers, onions, and peppers to the simmering liquid. Increase the heat to medium-high again, and allow the liquid to reach a boil.  After the mixture boils, reduce the heat to medium again to drop the liquid to a simmer. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes, or until most of the excess liquid evaporates. Stir the contents of the saucepan frequently to prevent them from burning and sticking to the saucepan.

TL;DR in English: Combine the vinegar, sugar, and spices. Let the pickling mixture simmer. Add the vegetables.

Research your cartoon character design by studying other characters that you admire or animation styles that you enjoy. Take note of defining features, the line quality, the color schemes, and any other artistic styles that are used to bring the character to life so you can include them in your own design.  Read comic books that tell stories with the characters so you can see how they change with different emotions, angles, and actions. Find a cartoon artist whose style you like and look at their character designs to inspire your own work. Brainstorm character design ideas by jotting down a list of hobbies, interests, and personality traits that you want your character to reflect. Write them out on a piece of paper and narrow them down to the key traits that you want to include in your cartoon character.  Your cartoon character’s personality should help guide the way they look. For example, if your character plays football and loves to tell jokes, then they would look different than a character that loves to read poetry and listen to classical music. Choose key details to embellish that will highlight the personality traits of your character. As you’re coming up with your character, think about features that can really bring out their personality without having to say it out loud.  Cartoon characters are meant to be larger than life, with details and traits that are exaggerated and dramatic. For instance, if your character is bookish and shy, then maybe their eyes are sunken and are always looking down. Exaggerated details can illustrate your character’s traits without saying them out loud. For example, a broad chest and strong jaw can make your character seem strong and brave without having to explicitly state it. Use specific features and details to set your cartoon characters apart from others and to bring out their personality. You can also choose to use specific tropes or features to define your cartoon style, such as the Simpson’s yellow skin, that will allow people to immediately recognize your...

Gross profit is your total revenue earned from your goods or services, minus the cost of producing or providing those goods or services (COGS). This calculation does not include expenses like payroll, rent, or utilities; it only considers the cost directly related to creating those goods and services. Gross profit margin is the gross profit divided by revenues.  Net profit takes all business expenditures into account and is calculated as gross profit minus administrative expenses and other relevant expenses. This includes regular operational costs (payroll, rent, etc.) and one-time costs (taxes, contractor invoices, etc.). You must also include any additional earnings, such as investment income.  Net profit provides a more complete and detailed rendering of the business health and is generally what is used to manage the business. The steps below detail how to find this number. Net profit is also known as "the bottom line." To calculate your business's profit margin, choose the period of time you want to analyze. Generally, people use either months, quarters, or years to calculate their profit margins. Consider why you want to calculate your margins. If you are applying for loans or looking to attract investors, these people will want to know more than just how your business did over a single month. However, if you're comparing your profit margin between different months for your own purposes, it's fine to use shorter periods of time. Revenue is everything the business brings in through sale of goods, services, or earnings of interest.  If your business only sells goods, such a retail shop or restaurant, your total revenue is all the sales you had during the period you've chosen to analyze minus any returns or discounts. If you don't already have this figure on hand, multiply the total number of items you sold by the price of each of those items and then adjust for returns and discounts. Similarly, if your business provides services, such as lawn mowing, your total revenue is all of the amounts you collected...

TL;DR in English: Know the difference between gross profit, gross profit margin, and net profit. Determine your calculation period. Calculate the total revenue generated by your business during the calculation period. Subtract all your expenses to calculate your net income. Divide your net income by the total revenue you already calculated.

To get there, go to Comodo or Morroc, and speak to the Kafra for a warp. You need to meet Rogue Guildsman to start the quest. First, warp to Comodo from Prontera and then head east, east, south, east, east, and then finally south. Some of the monsters along the way are aggressive and can use magic spells, so be sure to bring a lot of Fly Wings to avoid them. When you're there, speak with the Rogue Guildsman, Markie. You need to be a Thief with a job level 40 or higher to take this job quest; otherwise, the NPC won't start the job change event.

Developing a long-term goal requires a lot of thought about the future and what you want from it. To start developing a long-term goal, ask yourself where you'd like to be in the next five years. Think about what kind of work you'd be interested in, where you'd like to live, whether you'd like a family, and any other questions that might be important to you. When you have concrete answers to all of these questions, you'll have a clearer picture of what your ideal future will look like. Then, you can begin work on formulating a goal that will help you reach that future and ultimately get ahead in life. When you've brainstormed about the kind of future you want, you can start building a goal to reach that future. Look at the elements that make up your ideal future, and think about what kind of goal would lead to that future. That way, you can make sure your long-term goal will lead to a positive outcome for you. Your ideal future may be to be financially secure. This would involve getting a high-paying job. After doing some research, you decide that specializing in computer science would lead to a lucrative career. So, you set a long-term goal of getting your degree in computer science and working for a programming company. Vague goals are difficult to accomplish because there is really no way to track your progress. For long-term goals, lack of specificity can make them nearly impossible to complete. You need to be specific with your goals, especially long-term ones. That way you can stay focused and effectively measure your progress so you'll be able to tell if your goal is attainable. Your broad idea may have been to go back to school and get your degree. This is a great start and a great goal, but it is still too vague. When will you enroll? What will you major in? A better way to phrase that goal would be, "In the Fall semester I'm going to enroll in school to get my bachelor's in biology." This gives you a concrete goal, along with when you will start working towards that goal. In formulating a goal, it...

TL;DR in English: Ask yourself where you'd like your life to be in the next few years. Build a goal from your broad ideas. Write out a specific goal. Separate short and long-term goals. Assess your goal to make sure it's manageable.

If you want to save time and wash your baby's bottles and other pacifiers at the same time, use a clean, plastic tub or sink instead. You should wash the nipple part before giving the WubbaNub to your baby for the first time, even if you just took it out of the packaging. You should use the same type of soap you use to clean your baby's bottles and pacifiers. Swirl it around. If the nipple part is very grimy, you may need to rub it between your fingers. This will help remove any surface dirt on the nipple. Keep rinsing the nipple until no soap residue remains. Fill a cup with boiled water. Place the nipple into the cup. Let it sit there for 2 to 4 minutes, then take the nipple out.  You must do this before giving the WubbaNub to your baby for the first time. Plan on sterilizing the nipple once a month. Position the WubbaNub so that the nipple is hanging upside down without touching anything. You could do this by setting it down in a dish rack or by hanging it from a clothesline. Make sure that no water can pool under the nipple, as this can lead to germ build up.

TL;DR in English: Fill a cup with warm to hot water. Add some mild, liquid soap. Dip the nipple into the water. Rinse the nipple off with warm water. Sterilize the nipple in boiling water, necessary. Allow the nipple to air dry in a well-ventilated place.

Writing lyrics can be tough, but, if you've gotten this far, you're doing well. Kurt wasn't a "I'm going to start at point A, then go to point B, and end with point C," kind of writer, he was a "here's a bunch of pieces of songs that I'm going to throw together," kind of writer. Kurt's lyrics were also often filled with metaphors and confusing. Sometimes, he would write a song that was direct (i.e. "Polly," "Rape Me."), but only occasionally.

Inspect the leaves of your orchid to ensure it’s healthy enough to prune. Watch for new flowers to develop in 8-12 weeks.

Gain confidence in who you are. Life will be much easier when you have the courage to appreciate your self-worth. This doesn't mean becoming self-absorbed. It means taking care of yourself and respecting that you are a precious being like everyone else.   Look for things you like about yourself. Whether you are looking in the mirror or just thinking about your personality, focus on the positive. Be kind to yourself. Do something you enjoy or eat a special meal once in awhile. Be proud of your personality and preferences. From nerd to jock, from athletic to bookworm, you are unique and it's important to honor the expression that fits you rather than squeezing yourself into someone else's expectations. Your main responsibility as a teen is probably schoolwork. While there are many social and emotional distractions, remember that your education is meant to help you in the future. Develop good study habits. Long hours of study don't necessarily show results unless you're studying wisely. Study in a place where you will be most productive and with minimal distractions. Use flashcards, memory games, or review sheets to reinforce new information. Remember to take breaks and stay positive! Keep your mind and body active by eating healthy foods every day. Your body is still growing, and you need to nourish it along the way. A balanced diet includes a large number of vegetables, fruits, proteins, and grains. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and sweets. Remember to eat your three meals per day, especially breakfast.   Do not overeat. Overeating, especially eating junk foods, can cause health problems in the future. If you have a problem with overeating or weight gain, seek help from a doctor or nutritionist.

Generally, if a work has multiple authors you must list all of their names in the citation entry on your reference list. In APA style, you list the last name followed by a comma, then the author's first initial and middle initial.  For instance, an author named Francis Leanne Montgomery would be listed as "Montgomery, F. L." If the author's middle name or initial is not provided, just use their first initial. For example, "Powell, J." Separate names of authors with commas. Check to make sure you have a comma after each last name and after each set of initials. For example: "Sunshine, S. J., Summers, P. T., & Autumnwood, S." When you have multiple authors, the order of their names typically is negotiated by the authors themselves. Keep the order intact as chosen by the authors. Alphabetize entries in your reference list by the last name of the first author listed. In your reference list, use an ampersand (&) rather than spelling out the word and to indicate the end of your list. If everyone listed is an editor, follow the last name with a comma and the abbreviation "eds." The ampersand is always preceded by a comma. For example: "Sunshine, S. J., & Davis, T." The year the work was published follows immediately after your list of names in parentheses. Then, add a period outside the closing parenthesis.  For example: "Sunshine, S. J., Summers, P. T., & Autumnwood, S. (2010)." There is no comma between the last author's initial and the opening parenthesis. After the date, your citation next must let your readers know the complete title of the work. Capitalize the title just as you would a sentence. This means often only the first word is capitalized.  If the work also has a subtitle, include it after a colon. You'll also capitalize the first word of the subtitle.  The title may be in italics, depending on the type of work you're citing. This stays the same regardless of the number of authors. For example, a book title would be italicized, but an article in a scholarly journal would not be italicized. The rest of...

TL;DR in English: List all authors by last name and first and middle initials. Order the authors' names as they appear on the title page. Include an ampersand before the last author's name. Provide the year of publication in parentheses. Include the complete title of the work. Finish by noting the publication information.

MAC has a distinct logo and font used for all of their packaging, which is very sleek and stylized. Counterfeit products will have the same logo but it will either be stretched or manipulated in some way, or it will be placed in a different area of the packaging or casing than it would normally be. For example, the MAC logo is usually centered on its genuine products but a counterfeit may position the logo at the top or toward the bottom. Additionally, MAC uses capital letters for all of its packaging and lettering. Compare the lettering on the package to a MAC product you already have that you know is not counterfeit. If you observe obvious differences, you may have a counterfeit. MAC products come in a casing that has tiny glitter particles on the surface, giving it a subtle shimmer. Counterfeit products will usually manufacture casings that are dull or have a different sheen in comparison. They are also often a slightly different shape, usually bulkier and/or larger than its genuine counterparts. The labels  on the bottom of the casing is a great indicator of whether or not the product is genuine. MAC uses all caps on their labelling and labels are either gray with black print or white with a light gray print. The font used by counterfeit manufacturers tends to be bulkier and less sleek. MAC lipsticks have a faint sweet vanilla scent. The fakes will often smell like plastic or cheap perfume. If you’re unsure, take a whiff of the product; the smell should be able to give it away. Some fakes will have a name, but it may not be the name of any genuine MAC items or products. To find out, simply go to www.maccosmetics.com and click on the magnifying glass symbol in the upper right hand corner. Search for the name of the product. If it does not appear, it may either be a discontinued product or it is fake.

TL;DR in English: Look at the logo and lettering on the packaging. Study the casing. Study the labels. Sniff the product. Check the name of the product.

Your child learns from you, so when you say "no" too much, your child will pick up on that. Of course, you still need to protect them, but try using alternative wording unless the situation is really desperate.  For instance, if your child asks for ice cream in the afternoon, don't just say "no." Instead, you can say, "We already had a treat today. How about an apple?" or "We can eat ice cream after dinner." Of course, if your kid is about to hurt themselves, "no" is definitely appropriate. Toddlers have a limited vocabulary, so they have trouble expressing themselves. "No" is easy because they know it helps give them some control. However, you can help them learn other phrases by playing games with them. For instance, you can set up a question and answer game. Ask, "What's something in the middle of 'no' and 'yes'?" (maybe, possibly, in awhile). You could also ask, "What's a way to say 'no' in a nicer way?" (no, thank you). When you ask your child to do something and they comply, praise them for it. That signals to them that they get rewarded when they do well!  Keep your praise specific to the actions or behaviors you want to encourage. For instance, if you ask them to keep their food on their plate and they work hard to do so, say, "You're doing such a good job with keeping your food on your plate! Give me a high five!" If you pretend like you don’t know what you’re doing and need your child’s help, your child may be more inclined to do what you want them to do. For instance, you can act forgetful or incompetent, and your child will try to set you right. :  For example, if your child refuses to put their toys away, pick some of them up yourself, and put them away in weird places, like in the laundry bin, above the cupboard, or under the pillows. Your child will likely reprimand you for forgetting where the toys go and will put the toys in their proper places. Alternatively, the next time you see a war beginning at mealtime, start eating from their plate or bowl and using their utensils. Almost immediately,...

TL;DR in English: Avoid using "no" as much as you can. Teach your child other phrases to use. Use positive reinforcement for good behavior. Make your child think that you need their help to do something.

If the base of the plant has glossy, green, firm leaves, then it is healthy enough for pruning. However, if the leaves are yellow, brown, dry, or limp, then the plant is not healthy enough for pruning. Give the plant a chance to get healthy before you prune it.Make sure that you wait until all of the flowers have shriveled or fallen off before trimming to encourage new flowers to grow. The speed at which your orchid will flower again will depend on its overall health, climate, and care. However, in general you can expect new flowers to bloom about 8 to 12 weeks after you prune your orchid.If no flowers bloom within 8 to 12 weeks, try lowering the ambient temperature where your orchid is located by 5 °F (−15 °C). This may help to stimulate new growth.

Once you have friends, you should take steps to maintain your friendships. Gaining good friends is difficult and you do not want to have to start at square one if you start losing friends over time. You should always make an effort to spend quality time with your friends, doing things you both enjoy. This way, you and your friends have fun and you also build memories and share experiences together.  For example, if you know your friend is a big fan of a certain comic book character, you may get her a pass to see the creator of the character at next year’s Comic-Con. Or, you may treat your friend to a night out at their favorite restaurant. Doing nice things for your friends and making your time together meaningful will show them how much you value their friendship. Don't get into the habit of waiting to be invited to do things with your friends. Invite your friends to do something fun. Sometimes people become complacent and wait around for an invitation when instead they should take the initiative to plan and invite their friends to something. Try asking your friend something like, "Are you around on Friday night? Do you want to see a movie or go to the football game?" Or you can ask, "Do you want to get together sometime this weekend? I would love to see you!" You can also be a good friend by supporting and cheering on your friends when they need you. You should make an effort to keep up with what your friends are interested in and their goals. Supporting your friend’s goals and aspirations will show them that you can be there for them and are on their side. You may have friends who play sports and attend their games to show your support. Or you may have friends who do the performing arts and attend their performances so they have a familiar, friendly face in the crowd. A good friend will also be honest. You should try to be okay with constructive criticism and feedback from your friends, especially if they have your best interests at heart. You should be willing, to be honest with your friends and accept...

TL;DR in English: Spend quality time with your friends. Support and cheer on your friends. Be honest with your friends. Maintain contact with your friends.

Place pine cones throughout the tree.  Mix bird ornaments in with fake leaves. White lights are best for this natural look. Mix glass and plastic ornaments alongside white lights for a tree that could rival the White House's own. To get even more patriotic, hang red, white, and blue lights on your tree.

TL;DR in English: Create a nature-inspired look with rustic metal or glass ornaments. Hang red, white, and blue ornaments for a patriotic look.

Most liquid and cream foundations are water-based, which means that they’re a prime breeding ground for bacteria. Concealers have similar formulas, so they can turn just as quickly. Using old, contaminated foundation and concealer can lead to breakouts, as well as more serious skin irritations. Old foundation and concealer usually don’t perform as well either. You can wind up a streaky finish and poor coverage if your products are too old. Powder products tend to have a longer shelf life than liquids and creams because they don’t provide a moist environment for bacteria and germs to grow. However, over time the small amount of water that’s in powder products evaporates, leaving them crumbly and difficult to use.  If you powder products are old, you may notice that they’ve become more firmly packed in their pans, so it’s harder to pick up any color when you dip your brush into them. Because they contain water, cream eye shadows and blushes should be tossed after 6 months to a year. They’re usually oil-based, which means that they also provide a good environment for bacteria to grow. Add in the fact that you’re constantly applying them to your mouth, and you definitely don’t want to hang onto your favorite lip products too long.  When you use a lipstick that’s past its prime, you may notice that it doesn’t glide on as easily as it used to. That’s because it has a tendency to dry out over time. When it comes to lip liners, you usually have up to two years before you have to throw them away. They typically have drier formulas than lipstick or glosses, so they aren’t as likely to breed bacteria. These products usually feature a large amount of waxes, which aren't as conducive to growing bacteria as other ingredients. However, because both are used around the eyes, you should be careful and get rid of them after 12 months to prevent irritation. If your pencils are the type that you sharpen, you can hang onto them for up to two years. That’s because every time you sharpen them, you get rid of the top layer of the...

TL;DR in English: Throw away foundation and concealer after a year. Get rid of face powder, eye shadow, and blush after two years. Toss lipstick and lipgloss after one to two years. Purge eyeliner and brow pencils after a year. Switch up liquid eyeliner, cream eyeliner, and mascara after three months.

Since a new pope is usually only chosen every few decades, it is important to be prepared. Make sure that you are in communication with the members of the College of Cardinals. By now you should have established a good professional reputation. As conclave approaches, continue working to demonstrate that you would make a positive public figure.  In the days following the funeral of the pope, the cardinals gather to prepare for conclave. This is where "politicking" occurs. Try to assess who your supporters are. Make it clear to the other cardinals that you are willing to accept the nomination. The official process for electing a pope is known as "conclave". The governing group of cardinals, known as the College of Cardinals, gather together to chose a new pope. This group gathers in the Sistine Chapel. All others are barred from entry. "Conclave" in latin means "locked with a key" literally.    Typically, the current must die in order for conclave to convene. It is extremely rare for a pope to resign. The cardinals gather 15-20 days after the death of the pope to conduct a secret ballot. Only the cardinals are allowed in the chapel. There are a few exceptions, such as medical personnel. Each cardinal must take a solemn oath that he will adhere to the rules of conclave, as written by Pope John Paul II. After the first day of conclave, two votes may be taken each morning, and two each afternoon. It is not considered appropriate to "campaign" for pope. However, being a well-known and respected cardinal is a job only a select few hold. There are usually only a small group of candidates considered at conclave. The man with the most votes is elected as the new pope.   There are three phases to the actual voting process: pre-scrutiny, where the ballots are prepared; scrutiny, where the ballots are collected and counted; and post-scrutiny, where the ballots are checked again and then burned. Conclave can last several days, but generally does not last longer than two weeks. A cardinal must receive 2/3 of the votes in...

TL;DR in English: Prepare for nomination. Understand conclave. Get the most votes. Perform your duties.

Asthma is a lifelong condition, and your doctor can help control your symptoms so you can breathe easily. Talk to them about your symptoms, as well as the treatments you’re using. Let them know if your symptoms worsen so they can offer you better treatment options. Don’t stop taking your medication unless your doctor tells you it’s okay. Never take more medication than your doctor directs. Only use herbal remedies if your doctor says it’s safe.

When you're growing a plant from a seed, it can help to germinate the seed first, because this will increase the chances of it taking root in the ground.  Place the seeds in a small bowl and fill it with warm water. Let the seeds sit in the water for 24 hours.  After 24 hours, drain the water. On each seed, use your nail to gently pick away a small portion of the seed covering. Note that wisteria should be planted outdoors in the spring or fall, so make sure you start the germination process about six weeks before you want to transplant it outside. Fill a seed starter most of the way with potting soil and place one or two wisteria seeds on top of the soil in each pod. Make sure the seeds are on their sides. Cover them with one-quarter inch of potting soil. Place the seed trays in a warm, bright room. Add some water to the soil, and keep it moist for the duration of the sprouting time. Keep the seeds warm and moist while they germinate, and give them lots of natural light. The seeds should sprout within 10 to 30 days. Before you can transplant the sprouts, make sure they are at least four to five inches tall, and have a couple leaves on each stalk.

TL;DR in English: Germinate the seeds. Plant the seeds in a seed starter. Allow the seeds to sprout.

While you don't want to concentrate on the negative in a diet, it is important to know the boundaries as you adapt to a new set of habits.  Stay away from anything that contains yeast, like most breads, processed foods, and baked goods. Sugar in any form (this included sucrose, glucose and fructose) is also a danger as yeast feeds and grows on sugar. Refined grains, malted products, and fermented products (vinegar, soy, ginger, beer and wine), including all alcohol, either contain yeast or quick-acting carbohydrates which feed the growth of yeast. Dairy products should be avoided, as with most cheese. The primary exception in this category is yogurt with living cultures. Any mushroom or fungus is out. It is recommended that you avoid stimulants like coffee, chocolate, black tea and so forth, as they release stored sugar into the body and so provide a breeding ground for yeast. The same applies for artificial sweeteners and spicy foods. Much easier than creating a list of foods you can't eat, is to create a list of foods that you can eat and stick to those. Find ways to make these foods interesting and broaden your horizons if any of these foods are ones you have yet to try. Essentially you are aiming for a diet of fresh greens and fresh proteins, with limited fresh fruits and dairy (as they are higher in sugars), and complex grains. But get to know the details so that you can make foods you enjoy! Things you can eat include:  Fresh meat, chicken and fish. Eggs. Garbanzo beans and lentils. Avocado. Walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, and coconut. Brown rice (no white rice) and rice cakes. All vegetables, fresh or frozen, including onions and garlic. Fruit that is not bruised (but no melons or grapes). Limited milk (125ml per day) or soya / rice milk. Plain yoghurt with active cultures. Low fat cottage cheese with no sugar. Homemade popcorn. Plain chips with no MSG. Herbal teas. These are foods allowed weekly (only one item of each), that won't throw off your balance entirely in one serving, but will...

TL;DR in English: Familiarize yourself with the foods that are off-limits. Familiarize yourself with the foods that you can eat. Familiarize yourself with treats. Continue this diet for four to six weeks. Slowly add foods back into your diet over a period of a few weeks.

Boil water either on the stovetop or in an electric kettle. Make sure that you pour in enough water, which should be around 8 ounces (250 ml) of water for each serving of tea. Because herbal tea is better made with hot rather than with boiling water, allow the water to cool for a couple minutes after boiling. Place one teabag in each mug of tea that you are making. Then pour the hot water carefully into each mug. Cover each mug so the tea can steep without too much steam escaping. You can also throw in a couple fresh peppermint leaves if you want! Let the covered mugs sit so that the tea can steep. If you prefer mild tea, only let the tea sit for three to five minutes. If you like strong tea, keep the bag in for 10. After your tea is done steeping, remove the tea bag. If the tea bag has a string, simply pull it out by the string. If it doesn’t, fish it out with a spoon so that you don’t burn your fingers. If you wish, add extras to your tea like honey, sugar, milk or lemon. If you prefer your tea plain, sip and enjoy it while it’s hot!

TL;DR in English: Boil water. Let the water cool for a minute after boiling. Pour the water over the teabag. Let the tea steep for 3-10 minutes. Remove the teabag. Add extras.

If your divorce is contested or communication breaks down during the divorce process, you can let the court craft the terms of the buy-out and force your ex-spouse to comply with documentation, deed, and asset transfer requirements.  It is better to make every effort to work it out with your spouse, even if you have to split the cost and sit down with an attorney to craft an equity buy-out agreement. The court's decision will not take personal feelings, market conditions, and future plans into account. The result may be a blunt force order with end results that don't work well for either party. If refinancing with a cash payment is the best option, you will need to time the new mortgage correctly. If you live in a community property state, refinancing can be complicated unless you wait until the divorce is final. If you must refinance immediately, consult a real estate attorney about the ramifications of community property laws on the transaction. Unless handled correctly, the refinanced loan could be considered a joint debt, defeating the purpose of the equity split. Both names remain on the deed and the loan, but the spouse who is staying in the house takes over the payments and receives credit for the additional equity that accrues during the co-ownership. Assuming you have the income and credit needed to refinance, you will have several different loan options to consider.   A conventional rate/term refinance trades the old mortgage for a new one. The balance of the old mortgage becomes the new loan amount. The problem with this type of loan is that you will have to come up with the cash to pay your spouse for his share of the equity.   A cash-out refinance allows you to finance a combination of the outstanding balance and the equity, receiving a cash payment. This type of loan requires a favorable loan-to-value ratio and solid credit.  There may be extra fees or a higher interest rate for this type of loan. If your ex-spouse is comfortable with his name remaining on the existing mortgage, you can take a...

Before attempting any double-spins or pirouettes of any kind, it's important to get loosened up to avoid injury. Warm up your neck, shoulders, arms, back, sides, and legs before dancing with a long stretching routine. A nimble, loose neck will aid your equilibrium and balance when spotting and spinning. A loose torso will help you stay grounded and centered.  Warmed up legs will provide the necessary support you need and reduce the possibility of cramping. The most important three body parts for a good turn are your neck, shoulders, and legs. This side of your body will be referred to as your "spin" foot, and the corresponding leg, arm, and side will also be referred to as the "spin" side. The other side of your body will be referred to as your "lift" side. Begin standing with your spin foot in front of your lift foot, in a wide, balanced position, with most of your weight on your spin foot.  Place your spin arm at chest-height in front of you, with relaxed, bent elbow, so your spin forearm is parallel with your stomach. Your lift arm should be extended directly out from your side, in line with your torso, not too far back or too far forward. The lift arm will provide the majority of your spinning power by swinging it in front of your body. This is your spot point. Keep your eyes fixed on this spot throughout the entire motion.  Practice spotting by stepping slowly in a circular motion in one spot. Keep your eyes on one spot at eye level, on the wall or landscape directly in front of you. Keep your eyes there until your turning motion forces you to spin your head. If your head is level, the spotting motion will keep you from becoming overly dizzy or losing balance.  Even with proper spotting, a slight dizzy feeling can be expected during a double spin. Minimize this by keeping your neck and shoulders loose, and turning your head in a full circle as quickly as possible. The faster your body spins, the easier it is to spot properly.

TL;DR in English: Warm up. Choose which foot you will be spinning on. Place your feet and hands properly. Find a spot directly in front of you at eye level.

Coping with this condition can be very difficult. It is useful to gain a clear understanding of what is going on in your body. This will help you understand how to deal with the symptoms. Endometriosis commonly affects women in their 30s and 40s, and the causes are not yet known.  Common symptoms include painful menstrual cramps, consistent pain in the low back, and pain or discomfort during and after sex. Once you have been diagnosed, work with your doctor to come up with a treatment plan. Make sure to candidly discuss your lifestyle and whether or not you plan to become pregnant in the future. Dealing with a chronic illness is very difficult. Make sure that you surround yourself with friends and family who are kind and supportive. You will likely need someone to talk to during the toughest days, so let your best friend know that she is on speed dial. It can often be helpful to discuss your condition with others who suffer from endometriosis. Look for a local support group. Your doctor should be able to provide you with some suggestions. . Your body and mind can benefit from frequent breaks. Regulating your stress levels can improve your overall physical and mental health. Everyone has different calming methods that work for them, so try several relaxation techniques to find one that is most effective.   Focus on your breath. Deep, calming breaths can be very helpful in lowering your heart rate and helping you to feel calm. You can also take a relaxing bath or listen to some feel good music. Your illness is private and you should not feel obligated to discuss it if doing so makes you feel uncomfortable. However, endometriosis symptoms may interfere with your daily life, so it is a good idea to let your closest friends and family know what you are dealing with. Remember, you also need their support, so you will want to consider sharing your diagnosis with those you trust.  You may want to let your boss know that you have a medical condition that might require you to miss work occasionally. Explain your...

Storage is a big factor when it comes to selecting patio furniture, especially if you live in an area where you can't keep furniture out year-round. Find furniture that's easily movable and will fit in your garage, storage shed, attic, or other area of your home. If you don't have a lot of storage space, invest in furniture that can be folded or taken apart easily. Oftentimes, patio furniture comes in sets. This can be cheaper than buying individual pieces. When looking for furniture, keep an eye peeled for patio furniture sold in sets.  For example, say you're looking for a dining room furniture for your patio to host outdoor dinner parties. Many stores sell dining room sets. You may be able to get the chairs and tables you need at a bundled price. Be willing to compromise a little on sets. If you find a set that's very cheap, it may be in your second choice color, style, or material. As long as the set still meets your needs otherwise, and is made of materials that work well given your climate and area, it may be worth it to save the money and go with your second choice. When choosing chairs, make sure you select chairs based on your needs. Lounge chairs will not go well if you want chairs to place around a dinner table. Stiff dining chairs won't work well if you're looking for a chair to relax in while reading outdoors. Many chairs also come in bundled packages with accessories, which can benefit you. If you're, say, looking for a relaxing outdoor lounge space, a chair that comes with an ottoman can be a nice touch. Dual-purpose pieces can save you money and space on your patio. Look for, say, an ottoman that can also be used as an extra chair. Select a side table roughly the same length and width as your dining room table. This way, you can use it to extend the table during gatherings.

TL;DR in English: Look for items you can easily store. See if you can find sets specific to your needs. Invest in the right types of chairs. Keep an eye out for dual-purpose pieces.

A bad therapist may be dishonest with you, manipulate you, or make promises that they do not deliver on. They may wave off concerns, blame you, or blame your loved one if things do not go as they say. Look for these issues:    Autism is lifelong. Your loved one cannot be "cured" of autism. "Losing their diagnosis" is not necessarily an optimal outcome, especially if it means that the person is constantly suppressing their feelings and desires.   Autistic people are very diverse. A one-size-fits-all approach is unlikely to meet your loved one's individual needs.  Other good therapies do exist. If a therapy claims that it is the "chemotherapy of autism," or that all other therapies are bogus, your therapist is not being honest. Quitting ABA is not dooming your child.   ABA teaches some tasks better than others. It can be useful to teach physical skills like getting dressed or tapping shoulders to get someone's attention. Since it is data-driven, it does not work as well for teaching speech or skills involving a mind-body disconnect (e.g. trying to point to the correct card).   Autistic people have real emotions. If your loved one is acting scared or in pain, it's probably because they are. They need empathy, not punishment.  Autism and happiness aren't mutually exclusive. Your loved one can live a happy life and be autistic at the same time. Even if your loved one is nonspeaking and appears unresponsive, they can pick up on the therapist's words or attitude. A highly negative attitude can hurt an autistic person's self-esteem, and may also suggest that the therapist is willing to mistreat them.   Calling autism a tragedy, horrible burden, life-destroying monster, etc. Calling your loved one "manipulative" or blaming them for any issues that arise  Urging you to punish the loved one more harshly Radical behaviorism involves always responding negatively to "bad" behavior. The therapist may tell you to ignore behavior like crying, whining, flopping to the floor, or anything else that shows distress. Yet this is...

TL;DR in English: Be wary of false promises. Notice how the therapist talks about autism and your loved one. Pay attention to whether the therapist tells you not to comfort the autistic person. Consider whether the therapist allows you to witness sessions at all. Pay attention if the therapist tells you to avoid other programs for your loved one. Think about whether the therapist listens to your concerns. Trust your intuition.

If you have a friend who recently went platinum or underwent another dramatic hair color change, ask for the name of her hair stylist. You can also ask friends and family for recommendations on hair salons and stylists who they think might be able to make you a platinum blonde without too much damage.  You can also check out reviews of salons online to narrow your choices down. Look for salons that have high ratings from their customers. If you get some recommendations, check out the stylists Instagram or other social media feeds where they post photos of their work. If your regular stylist has experience with platinum blonde coloring, then you might simply go for a consultation with them. However, if you do not currently have a stylist or your stylist has expressed discomfort with taking you to this color, then call around to find someone who has experience turning people into platinum blondes. Try saying something like, “I want to go platinum blonde without too much damage to my hair, and my current hair color is ____. Do any of your stylists have experience with this type of situation?” After you find someone who has experience, you can make a consultation appointment. Sometimes you can just drop into the salon and see the stylist between clients, but it is best to ask first.  Try saying something like, “I would like to stop in and talk with the stylist before I make an appointment. Do I need to make a consultation appointment, or can I just stop by when the stylist is working?” Make sure to bring picture with you to your consultation so you can show the stylist what you want your hair to look like. Before you decide to make your first hair appointment with a stylist, it is a good idea to ask questions. This will help you to get a sense of how much experience the stylist has and how comfortable you feel trusting your hair to them.  How many times have you taken someone from a shade similar to mine to a platinum blonde shade? What process did you use to get the desired color without causing too much damage?...
