Use the oil after a manicure. Put it on whenever you have free time. Apply the oil before bedtime.

When you have finished picking up all of the stitches for the heel, count your total number of stitches and divide them evenly among 3 needles. You may have to have 1 less or more on one of the needles to do this. For example, if you have 84 stitches, then you can place 28 stitches onto each needle. But if you end up with 85 stitches, then 1 needle will need to have 29 stitches on it and the other 2 will have 28 stitches. When your stitches are divided evenly among the 3 needles, begin knitting in the round. This will start to form the foot section of the stocking. Knit several rounds until the foot section of your stocking is about 4 inches (10 cm) or longer. After the foot section measure about 4 inches (10 cm) from the heel, you can start to decrease the total number stitches in each round. Knit the rounds as usual, but knit 2 stitches together when you reach the last 3 stitches in the round. Then, knit 1 and repeat the round. Continue decreasing in this way until you have a total of 28 stitches. the remaining stitches. When you have 28 stitches left, bind them off. To bind off, knit the first 2 stitches in the round, then slip the first new stitch over the second new stitch. As you do this, let the first stitch to slip off the then of the needle. Then, knit 1 and slip the first stitch over the second stitch again.  Repeat this until you have worked all of the stitches off of your needles. Make sure to leave a long tail (12 inches (30 cm) or longer) so that you can use the tail yarn to weave the toe opening closed. Thread the tail yarn through the eye of the yarn needle. Then, begin sewing the opening closed. Match up the bound off stitches and sew through 2 at a time to close up the opening. When you get to the end, insert the needle into the inside of the stocking’s toe and then-then turn the stocking inside out to secure it from the inside and hide the knot.

TL;DR in English: Divide stitches evenly among 3 needles again. Knit until the foot section measures 4 inches (10 cm) or longer. Decrease until the total number of stitches is 28. Bind off Sew the opening closed.

Like it or not, the way you look is a big part of a first impression. Choose clothes that flatter you without making you look overdressed. You don’t want to be slumming it in sweats when you meet your in laws. At the same time, you wouldn’t want to wear a cocktail dress or tuxedo when everyone else is in sundresses or polos!  Make sure that your clothes are clean, presentable, and not too revealing or potentially offensive. For casual or semi-casual occasions, you could try wearing a nice button-down shirt or polo with khakis, or a dress that makes you look great while still being comfy and not flashy. In cooler weather, a nice sweater can do the trick. Jeans can be ok, too, as long as they're clean and free of tears. If your in laws have invited you over, it’s often considered polite to bring food, a drink, or a small gift with you. Ask your partner what they think is appropriate, and give it to your in laws yourself when you arrive.  Things like a bottle of chocolates, or some flowers can do wonders. Make sure to ask your partner about their in laws’ expectations first. In some cultures, it’s considered offensive to bring something when invited over. Ask your partner if their parents enjoy drinking alcohol before bringing wine or another alcoholic drink as a gift. If they don't drink or if they are opposed to drinking, alcohol will not make a good gift. Work with your partner and do a little research. Find out what your in laws are interested in, and make sure to ask them about that. You can also ask them about their hobbies, home, or family history. Showing you care about them will go a long way!  If you have any common interests, bring those up to form bonds: “Mr. Smith, Sam tells me you’re interested in scuba diving. Me too!” Even little comments and questions like “Who’s in this photo?” will show your interest. Try giving comments like “You have a beautiful home!” or “I love that sweater--where did you get it?” Compliments like these are another way of showing your in laws that you’re interested in...

TL;DR in English: Dress well. Bring them a small gift if you're going to their house. Start conversations that show you’re interested. Compliment them and their stuff. Have a one-on-one chat. Be especially polite if you are in public. Try the food even if you don’t think you’ll like it. Let them know how nice it was to meet them.

A public service announcement is an educational message intended to raise awareness about a topic that serves the public. The goal is to motivate viewers to change their behavior or attitude about the topic in the film through persuasion and facts. The most important decision you have to make is selecting a topic for your PSA film. Think about who your audience is and be sure your topic is relevant to them. There are several questions to consider to make sure your topic is specific and meaningful.  What key message are you trying to convey? Does this message service the public's interest in a significant way? Is it new and important? Why?  Can you announce your message in a minute or less? Who is your audience? What specific action do you want them to take after seeing your film?  What might your audience already know about your topic, and what should they know? How can you include this in your call-to-action? It is worth emphasizing that you need to know exactly who your audience is. The group you are trying to reach needs to be as specific as possible. Demographics should be considered in planning your PSA.  One major demographic category you may want to think about is age groups (children, teenagers, young adults, adults, senior citizens). Other demographic categories to consider are gender, education level, religion, political affiliation, income level, or race/ethnicity. Once you know your topic spend time researching it. You are now an authority on the topic so make sure you back your claims up with credible sources. Collect data, facts, and statements that can support passionate scenes and memorable dialogue.  Gather as many statistics and hard data as you can about your topic.  If you are not sure about any of your research, have someone else fact-check it for you. Even though you are not paying for airtime, creating a PSA film can be expensive. This is another piece of preparation that will depend on several questions. Planning a budget will help you get an idea of how much you can afford and what to...

TL;DR in English: Understand what a public service announcement is. Choose your topic. Know your audience. Research your topic. Plan your budget.

Believe it or not, there was a time when you took regular breaks from work. If your work schedule allows, take breaks and enjoy a quick recess. Even if you have to wait until after work, schedule time during the day to do something fun.  Try one of the activities discussed above. Instead of eating your lunch at your desk while doing work, try going on a picnic in the park. Recess time in school usually involves physical exercise outside so use shorter breaks to  enjoy a quick walk around the block instead of waiting in line for coffee. You can also bring your drink with you. You might not have time to drag out a rest mat at work, but you can pack a snack to help you feel more like a kid. Snacking during the day keeps your blood sugar level and elevates your mood. To feel even more like a kid, forgo the grown-up protein bar and pack a juice box, fruit snack, or pudding cup. While adults are often afraid to admit they don’t know or understand something, children readily absorb information and are excited to learn new things. Take a community education class, join a book group, attend a lecture, or pick up a new hobby. If it seems daunting to venture out on your own, encourage a friend or family member to go with you. Many adults bring workplace stresses home with them, which prevents you from feeling youthful. When you return home from the office, turn off your work email and avoid focusing on the day’s problems. Researchers have found that children smile 400 times per day while adults only smile about 20 times per day. According to psychologists, smiling and laughing make you feel happier and more youthful, so get ready to grin and guffaw if you want to feel young. If you want to maintain a more youthful perspective, try watching a family-friendly movie or reading a book intended for a younger audience. These selections are often more lighthearted and less serious. To take a trip down memory lane, pick one of your childhood favorites. Spending quality time with kids is one of the best ways to feel youthful. ...

TL;DR in English: Enjoy recess. Make time for snack time. Embrace what you don’t know. Leave the stresses of work behind. Smile and laugh. Watch children’s movies and read children’s books. Play with your own kids or volunteer to work with children in your community.

Cuticle oil is a great way to rehydrate your cuticles after a manicure. The oil will not harm or remove the nail polish. Additionally, cuticle oil is a great way to revamp an old manicure. Just massage the oil over your cuticles and nails to give them a fresh shine. Do not use it before a manicure. The oil will prevent the nail polish from adhering to your nail. If you do decide to use it before a manicure, then make sure to wipe your nails clean with nail polish remover or alcohol. Apply the oil whenever you are riding the bus or sitting in a taxicab, at your work desk, or on the couch while watching TV, for example. Basically, whenever you have some downtime. Apply cuticle oil twice a day, or more if you need to. This is a great way to ensure that your cuticles stay hydrated and nourished for the coming day. Just remember to be persistent and consistent to keep your cuticles looking healthy.

TL;DR in English:

You should acknowledge the risks of trampolining. Injuries are common when you jump together on a trampoline or land wrong while jumping. Injuries are also common from failed flips and somersaults. You and your parents should be aware of these dangers.  You could tell your parents: “I know there are dangers. There are risks in any sport. Trampolining is no exception. I realize I could hurt myself but I plan to take every precaution to jump safely. I don’t plan on doing any somersaults and I plan to use a safety net.” Common injuries that you may experience include broken arms and legs from contact with the side rail, concussions, lacerations, and abdominal injuries from the side rail. Talk about all the different features the trampoline may have, like a big net or softer sides. If your parent asks about how you will avoid falling and hurting yourself, you can say: “I will only jump by myself and in the middle of the trampoline. If I make a mistake and jump too far to one side, the trampoline has a big safety net that will prevent me from falling on the ground.” You should propose a safety plan for the home trampoline. Write down a complete list of safety precautions that you will follow when using the trampoline. Ask your parents for approval and recommendations.  Tell your parents that you will anchor the trampoline to guard against strong winds and movement from big bounces. Tell your parents you will only jump on the trampoline when an adult is present.  Tell your parents you will not allow more than one person at a time on the trampoline. Three quarters of trampoline injuries occur when multiple people are jumping at once.  Tell your parents you will not do any gymnastic exercise on the trampoline.  Avoid somersaults and flips. Somersaults and flips that go wrong are often the cause of cervical spine injuries.  Make a rule that there will be no jumping when the trampoline is wet. One aspect of safety is simply installing the trampoline in a location that is free of obstacles. Another part of safety is...

TL;DR in English: Discuss the risks of trampolining with your parents. Explain some of the safety features to your parents. Figure out a safety plan for your trampoline. Tell your parents about the need to properly install the trampoline in a good location.

This is the best and cheapest way to prevent your dog from getting rabies. Set up a regular vaccination schedule with your veterinarian to keep your dog’s rabies vaccine up-to-date. Your dog might be on a yearly, every two years or every three years vaccination schedule based on the vaccine manufacturer’s guidelines or state or local laws. Many countries have laws requiring dogs to be vaccinated against rabies. The best way to keep your dog safe, aside from getting him vaccinated, is to keep him from interacting with wild animals. You might try keeping him fenced in a yard, limiting his time outside when wild animals are more likely to be active (like early morning, evening, or nighttime), and keeping him on a leash when out for walks. Pay particular attention to your dog when you take him for hikes or walks through areas where wild animals are common. If you're in high risk area or occupation, you should get a pre-exposure vaccine to protect against rabies. The Centers for Disease Control also recommends pre-exposure vaccination for travelers who stay more than one month in an area of the world where rabies is widespread or if the travelers will work with any kind of animal in these areas. High risk occupations include:  Veterinarians Veterinary technicians Rabies laboratory personnel People who work with wildlife either at wildlife sanctuaries, rehab centers, or parks If you are bit by an animal you think might have rabies, wash the wound with soap and water for 10 minutes. Then, call your doctor's office, who will contact the proper authorities to investigate. They'll also try to capture the animal that bit you for rabies testing. If they can't find the animal or it is found and tests positive for rabies, you will be put on a post-exposure vaccine course which varies depending on if you’ve had a previous rabies vaccine or if you haven’t.

TL;DR in English: Get your dog vaccinated against rabies. Limit your dog's exposure to wild or stray animals. Get pre-exposure vaccines for yourself. Treat any wounds caused by potentially rabid animals.

Vampire Goth hairstyles are characterized by stark, monochromatic, and simple colors, so dying your hair bright white or jet black is great way to achieve this look. For a more permanent look, you can visit your local salon or purchase a permanent or semi-permanent black hair dye from a drug or beauty supply store. For longer-lasting white hair, try learning how to get white hair using bleach and toner. If you are looking for a more temporary option, you can use a spray-on temporary hair color in either white or black. Temporary spray-on hair colors are easy to apply by following the directions on the container, and generally wash out after 1 to 2 washes. Use a straightening iron or hairdryer to straighten your hair until it is stick-straight. Vampire Goth hairstyles are generally clean and pristine, so this is a relatively easy look to accomplish whether your hair is long or short. Try parting your hair in the middle before or after your straighten it for an extra mysterious, vampire vibe.  Wear just a few simple accessories or skip them altogether to stay in-line with the vampire Goth style. Try adding a bright red lipstick, pale face make up, and jet black mascara to complete your vampire look. If you have shorter hair (above the shoulders) or bangs, you can achieve a vampire Goth look by creating a deep side part on either the left or right side and sweeping your hair across your forehead. Once your hair is parted correctly, use a curling iron to create loose waves across the front of your hair. Trying using a dark eyeliner on both your upper and lower lids, as well as a dark eyeshadow to enhance your mysterious vibe.

TL;DR in English: Dye your hair bright white or jet black. Straighten your hair stick-straight. Try a side-swept, curly vampire look.

Your doctor will prescribe (or recommend an over-the-counter version of) an anti-worm medication. Some examples include Mebendazole, Pyrantel permeate, and Albendazole. You will be directed to take one dose of one of these medications (follow the specific instructions of your doctor) and then to wait two weeks. The way this medication works is that it kills off any adult worms. They are all eradicated, except for the eggs which will remain in your system. After two weeks have passed, you will be directed to take one more dose of the same anti-worm medication. The purpose of this second dose is to kill any new worms that have formed as a result of the eggs. The two week timing is extremely important, as it catches the worms at just the right phase in their lifecycle so as to kill all of them without needing any further doses after this one. Since threadworms are so easily passed from one person to another, your doctor will likely recommend that everyone in the household be treated with two doses of the anti-worm medication. It is better to be safe rather than sorry, and to prevent the hassle of someone in the household showing signs of an infection just after the initial person was cured. This is especially true if you are treating pinworm infections in children. Although pinworms can technically be treated with six weeks of very strict hygiene measures (because the lifecycle of the worm is six weeks), it is very challenging to adhere by these strict standards at home, particularly if children are involved.  The benefit of medication is that it is extremely effective at clearing the infection in two weeks. Hygienic measures can then be used as a means to prevent re-occurence or subsequent infections down the road.

TL;DR in English: Take one dose of an anti-worm medication. Take another dose at the two week mark. Treat everyone in the household. Know that medication is your best bet.

Eversion is most common in younger children, though even in these cases it is still relatively uncommon. There are many different causes of eversion and learning about them may help you identify if you have a problem and get help in a timely manner. Causes of eversion include:  Flat feet, or pes planus External tibial torsion, or an outward twisting of the leg bone Hip contracture, or externally rotated hips Femoral retroversion, or having a thighbone (femur) that is angled backwards. Beyond having feet that point in a “V-shape,” people who have eversion exhibit other signs or symptoms. By identifying potential symptoms, you may be able to get a definitive diagnosis and timely treatment. Some symptoms of eversion include:  Functional difficulties, including walking. Pain around the front of the knee.  Hip tightness.  Hip or lower back pain. Discomfort may also be present in your neck and head as your body tries to maintain a straight posture.  Weakness in the knees, ankles, or hips. Whenever you are walking, running, or doing other types of exercise, notice if you experience any pain or unusual sensations. This can help you identify potential problems and get help minimize the risk of developing a more serious problem.  Note any symptoms you have, when they start and how severe they are. Be aware of anything that relieves your V-shaped walk or makes related pain go away. If you have pronounced symptoms and/ or pain, or attempts to correct your gait don’t seem to be successful, schedule an appointment with your doctor. She can assess your walk, make a definitive diagnosis, and prescribe proper treatment for your V-shaped walk.  Tell your doctor when you first noticed your walk or if you’ve always had it. Explain any pain or other symptoms you have. Allow your doctor to examine your walk or your lower body to help make an assessment of what is causing your V-shaped walk. Your doctor may also prescribe tests to better view your bones and muscles, which could also help her make a more definitive diagnosis and...

Do not use water to clean your dachshund’s ears, as it could lead to infection. Ask your veterinarian to recommend an ear cleaner that contains a drying agent and follow the use instructions carefully. . Dental hygiene is an important aspect of your dachshund’s health. You can purchase a dog toothbrush and dog toothpaste from most pet stores. Before you try brushing your dog’s teeth, make sure that your dog is comfortable with your hand in their mouth.  Place your dachshund on your lap facing away from you. Peel their lips back with your non-dominant hand. Holding the toothbrush in your dominant hand, begin brushing the front teeth. Next, use your non-dominant hand to open your dachshund’s mouth. Holding the toothbrush in your dominant hand, brush the back teeth and molars. . Clipping your dog’s nails is another important part of regular grooming. Because a dachshund’s nails are black, it is hard to see the quick so it’s important that you receive training from a professional dog groomer or veterinarian before clipping your dog’s nails. Once you’ve been shown how to properly do so, you can:  Identify the “quick.” (A dark area inside the nail that contains blood vessels.) Place your dachshund on your lap facing away from you. Hold your dog’s paw firmly in your non-dominant hand. Slide each claw through the small hole in the nail clippers (above the quick). Squeeze the nail clipper. You may want to lie your dachshund on its side to trim the back paws.

If your doctor catches your throat cancer in its early stages, it may be possible to remove the cancerous cells with surgery. About 80% of patients recover from throat cancer if the surgery is a success in the early stages of the disease.  Surgery using endoscopy, where tumors on the surface of your throat or your vocal cords are removed through your mouth no incisions, may be used. Your doctor may be able to scrape off or cut out the tumors depending on their size and location.  Your doctor may also use laser surgery to remove smaller tumors in your throat. The laser will be inserted into your throat to vaporize tumors in your throat. For advanced-stage cancer, your doctor may remove all or part of your voice box to get rid of tumors on your voice box. Your doctor will do their best to preserve your ability to speak and breathe normally using your mouth and throat. If there are larger tumors on your voice box, your doctor may need to remove your entire voice box. During surgery, the doctor may attach your windpipe to a hole in your throat to allow you to breathe. If your entire larynx must be removed, you will likely work with a speech pathologist to help you learn how to speak without your voice box. For advanced-stage cancer, surgery on your lymph nodes will most likely need to be performed if the cancer has spread deep within your neck. Your doctor may recommend removing some or all of your lymph nodes to ensure the cancer does not spread. Surgically removing the lymph nodes is controversial, but it may be necessary, as throat cancer can recur or spread through your lymph system. Your doctor may recommend removing your lymph nodes to check if cancer is present and to lower the risk of the cancer coming back. Though surgery can successfully remove the cancerous cells from your throat, especially if it is in the early stages of the disease, there are still risks and side effects associated with this option. Your doctor should outline all the risks of the surgery before you undergo the procedure.  You are at...

TL;DR in English: Opt for surgery for early-stage throat cancer. Get surgery to remove all or part of your voice box. Talk to your doctor about surgery on your lymph nodes. Be aware of the risks and complications of throat surgery.

This activity can be fun for most toddlers, and can teach them the basics of camping. Examples of activities your toddler can perform are collecting small sticks use in building a fire and helping you with setting up tents and other camping supplies. If your toddler loses interest, you may need to tend to them instead of continuing to set up camp. With this in mind, try to give yourself extra time to get everything in place before dark. While toddlers can get exhausted easily, you can still do fun, short activities with them. Examples of activities that may be fun for your toddler include short hikes, bicycle rides, and wildlife adventures that consist of finding new leaves or insects. Try to stay within 15 to 30 minutes of your campsite so that you can get back there easily if your toddler throws a fit or loses the ability to walk on their own. Your child should be shown ways to clean up after themselves, including throwing away garbage in a trash bag or can.  Also model for them a respect for plants, vegetation, and animals during hikes and exploration.  You can even make picking up trash around your campsite a game for your toddler.  Telling your toddler to "be gentle" with every plant they try to grab can get exhausting but it's worth the effort if you can show them how to properly interact with plants and animals in nature.

TL;DR in English: Involve your toddler with setting up camp. Take your toddler on short, nearby exploration trips. Teach your toddler how to respect wildlife and the outdoors.

When you're selecting herbs, you want to pick very perky bunches and avoid any with lots of wilting leaves, or any sliminess or spotting. Generally, leafy herbs will spoil more quickly, compared to heartier herbs, which can be stored more easily.  Leafy herbs include basil, cilantro, parsley, and mint, and should be stored in water in the fridge. Hearty herbs include sage, rosemary, thyme, and dill. These herbs should be bundled loosely and stored in the fridge, wrapped loosely in paper towel, but not in water. Whether you've bought your herbs in a bunch at the market, or purchased them fresh in a plastic container, it's a good idea to remove the binding and examine them. Remove any wilting, spotted, or slimy stalks, and trim the end of all of the stems.  Dry them thoroughly. Leafy herbs will spoil much more quickly if they're wet. You don't have to trim much, just the very end of the stems. No more than a centimeter or two. Do not remove the leaves from the stems. If you want to dry or freeze your herbs, skip to the next section. Generally, you want to treat fresh herbs the same way you would treat fresh-cut flowers. Put about 1-2 inches of clean filtered water at the bottom of a drinking glass and let your herbs sit with the cut stems submerged. Keep them unbridled and loose. Don't submerge the leaves in water. Just the ends of the stems. Think flowers. Use a loose, open paper towel wrapped around the top of the leaves, and tucked into the glass. This helps to keep the moisture around the herbs, without trapping it against the leaves. It also helps keep the herbs from taking on the smells of your refrigerator. If you don't have a paper towel, a plastic bag can work just as well. These tend to trap moisture against the leaves, making them spoil more quickly, but they can work just fine. Depending on how old your herbs were when you bought them, they should stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week. Change out the water every couple of days, and make sure they're not wilting or spoiling.  Remove individual...

TL;DR in English: Choose fresh and firm herbs to store. Remove the herbs from the packaging, dry them, and trim the stems. Place the freshly trimmed stems in a glass of fresh water. Cover the herbs with a dry paper towel to help keep them from drying out. Store in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.

While the heat from inside your fridge should cause the water in the drip pan to evaporate, there still may be standing water inside it. Pour the water down your sink drain to get rid of it. After emptying the drip pan, set it in your sink so you can start cleaning. You can also remove standing water by using a wet/dry vacuum. Mix 1 part bleach with 2 parts warm water in a clean spray bottle and shake it up so it’s thoroughly mixed. Spray the drip pan so it’s completely wet and let the bleach solution sit on the surface for 2-3 minutes. Spray extra cleaner on any mold or mildew you see building up on the drip pan to help loosen it and disinfect the area. The bleach may change the color of your drip pan if it’s not originally white. After a few minutes pass, wipe the inside of the drip pan with a cleaning rag to remove the cleaner. Work from one side of the drip pan to the other so you don’t spread any mold around. Apply a firm amount of pressure while you scrub the drip pan to break apart any built-up residue. You can also use paper towels if you don’t want to get any mold on fabric cleaning rags. Hold the drip pan under your faucet and let warm water run over it. Rinse the entire drip pan so there isn’t any cleaner left on the surface. Use another rag or sponge to wipe it off if there’s still any residue still on it. Use a cleaning towel or paper towels to wipe the pan dry. Make sure there aren’t any water droplets on the pan or else it could develop mold again when you reinstall it. Once the drip pan is dry to the touch, slide it back into your fridge and replace the panels so you can use it again. You can also let the drip pan air-dry for 30 minutes instead.

Blonde hair needs more attention than other hair colors. Keep in mind that transitioning more than two shades lighter or darker will require a stronger effort to maintain. When your roots begin to grow out, you will need to use the same professional process to do a touch up. If high maintenance is an issue, err on the side of caution when deciding to go blonde or not. Do not attempt to bleach or tone your hair at home. Bleach is an extremely harsh chemical that strips your hair follicles. You will need to pay a saloon professional to transition you to blonde and for all of the maintenance visits. While a DIY color job might be the cheaper option, bleaching at home can create a hair horror that you won't want to deal with. You can easily fry your hair, turn it orange or lose all of its volume. To be safe, you will have to be able to afford to see a professional. To keep your hair at the desired shade and your roots matching, you need to touch it up every four to six weeks. When your roots start to show, you will need to bleach and tone them to match your hair. Also, you will need to have your hair trimmed at almost every visit for blonde hair causes split ends. If you are going to a saloon for touch-ups, which is highly recommend, this endeavor becomes pretty pricey. Consider the long term expenses and be sure you have not only the time for saloon visits, but also the money it will take to maintain your blonde hair. Going all blonde at once is not recommended. It is natural to become excited about having an all blonde look, but it is important you work your way up to an all over color. Depending on how dark or damaged your current hair is, your saloon professional is going to want to gradually lighten your hair using blonde highlights and then slowly build on them over time. This prevents your hair from going into shock and breaking off.  Most stylists will deny a full coverage bleach job because they know how damaging it is to your hair. Your stylist is going to ask you about past color treatments and process...

TL;DR in English: Determine the hair color maintenance level you are comfortable with. Have a professional bleach and tone your hair. Touch up your roots and hair tone regularly. Factor in the time it will take to become blonde. Plan for the financial cost. Research quality hair products.

While APA and MLA are used by different types of disciplines, Chicago can be used by a wide range of writers. The catch is that there are actually two system of Chicago formatting.  The notes-bibliography system: used in the humanities (literature, history and the arts). It provides notes at the bottom of the page, and sometimes a full bibliography at the end of the text. The author-date system: used the physical, natural, and social sciences. It provides parenthetical in-text citations that include the author and date of publication, as well as a bibliography. When using the notes-bibliography system, you show that you want to cite a quote, idea, or other content by using a footnote. At the end of the sentence that contains the borrowed material, place a number in superscript. The first source cited on the page is “1,” the second source is “2,” and so on. This numbering system resets with each page, and you start over with “1” instead of moving on to “3.”  At the bottom of the page, create a space for footnotes that is separated from the body text by a typed lined is 1.5 inches wide. Match each source to its information in the text by using the same number, but do not raise it into superscript. A second way to format the notes-bibliography system is to point the superscript notes in-text to a full bibliography at the end of the document. It’s formatted in the exact same way, but the numbering reaches from the first to last page, rather than restarting with each new page. Notes are single-spaced, but you should skip lines between entries. The first line of each source is indented, just like a paragraph, but subsequent lines are not.

Anterior knee pain occurs at the front and center of the knee. Start the floss just below the kneecap. Wrap the floss around your knee, moving up toward your thigh and overlapping each band. Tuck the end into the previous band. Begin the floss on the outside of your leg. Then pull the floss from the outside of your knee, across your leg, and toward the inside of your thigh. Continue wrapping, working downward toward the top of your knee. Tuck the end into the previous band. You shouldn’t wrap your knee if you have lateral knee pain. The entire band should be wrapped around your leg just above your kneecap. Start the floss on the outside of your leg, just below your kneecap. Then wrap it over the front of your leg, working toward the inside of your thigh. Overlap the floss as you wrap it, tucking the end into the previous band.

There are a variety of online encyclopedias you can find that will detail how you should care for the specific type of houseplant you own, including recommended humidity levels, sunlight exposure guidelines, and watering guides. Since many houseplants differ, it’s important to find what is ideal for your specific type of houseplant.  Most houseplants come with a tag that will have their common and scientific name. If it doesn’t, ask the florist you got it from. The scientific name consist of two parts the genus and species. For example, Spathiphyllum wallisii is the scientific name for peace lily. Many plant names like poinsettia and begonia are both common names and scientific names. If you see a x, third name or a name in quotation marks it's a cultivar, hybrid or subspecies (in easy terms, a special breed). Some plant types however will leave the plant stumped with general names like general foliage, assorted palms, or desert cacti. With reference and advice from a garden pro, you can learn to identify many genus (if not the exact species) by looking at them. If you were given a houseplant and are unsure of what type it is, go through the photos in a flower book, encyclopedia, handbook of house plants and find the picture that best matches your plant. Get the name of the exact species and cultivar to make sure you get the right plant. A genus can have a group of a million species and cultivars within it. Some species or cultivars are less difficult to grow in the house than others or the original species. Also there are many different sizes and growth rates. Some ficus species grow into huge trees over time and others are creeping vines. Same goes for the Philodendron and Anthurium groups. Many of the plants on the market as house plants do not really belong in the indoor environment. In fact many people unknowingly buy these species and it likely dies on them. The people get discouraged and never want to buy indoor plants again.  Many flowering houseplants are annuals that (living on year then dying)....

TL;DR in English: Learn your plant's classification. Realize not all plants on sale as indoor or houseplants are long term residents. Determine if your plant is a green foliage plant or a plant that has flowers. Choose a plant that's easy to care for.

TL;DR in English:


Water your soil in the morning. Water your soil manually 2-3 times a week. Use sprinklers instead of watering by hand. Use a drip irrigation system for more consistent moisture.

Fill a small saucepan with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water, and place a heat-safe bowl on top. Make sure that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the surface of the water. Stir the beeswax and coconut oil as they melt. This will not only blend them together, but also help them melt faster.  If you want a more firm lip balm, use more beeswax and less coconut oil. If you want a softer lip balm, use less beeswax and more coconut oil. Pierce each capsule with a pin or needle, then squeeze the oil into the beeswax mixture. If you can't find any vitamin E oil capsules, you can use the kind that comes in a bottle. You will need ¼ teaspoon of vitamin E oil total. Keep stirring until everything is evenly combined. The honey will make the lip balm extra-moisturizing, while the cinnamon will make it plumping. If you can't find any empty lip balm containers, you can buy small, empty jars meant for storing beads or excess paint from the arts and crafts store. You can also use a clean contact lens case. Work quickly; the mixture will start to harden in 5 to 10 minutes. It will take about 5 to 10 minutes for the lip balm to start to harden. It may take 15 to 20 minutes for it to finish hardening. If it is taking too long for the lip balm to harden, stick it into the fridge or freezer for a few minutes.

TL;DR in English: Assemble a double boiler. Melt 4 tablespoons (55 grams) of coconut oil and 1 ½ tablespoons of beeswax pellets in the double boiler over low heat. Take the bowl off the saucepan, and add 2 to 3 capsules of vitamin E oil into the beeswax mixture. Stir in ¾ tablespoon of honey and 15 drops of cinnamon essential oil. Pour the melted mixture into clean, empty lip balm containers. Wait for the lip balm to harden before screwing the containers shut.

While it doesn’t directly treat rosacea, aloe vera extract soothes the skin and reduces some of the inflammation from rosacea outbreaks. Feverfew is a natural anti-inflammatory like aloe. It can reduce redness and also stop the itching and burning from rosacea. Many skincare products include chamomile as a soothing agent. They may not be as effective as aloe or feverfew, but chamomile products show some success in reducing rosacea symptoms. While not exactly an herbal remedy, this is still a natural treatment that helps the itching and inflammation from rosacea. Get some finely-ground oatmeal, soak it in water, rub it on your face, and then wash it off after 15 minutes.

TL;DR in English: Apply aloe vera to moisturize your skin. Use feverfew cream to treat redness and swelling. Get products with chamomile extract. Try a colloidal oatmeal mask to fight inflammation.

Mint plants needs a lot of width to grow effectively, but they don’t need a great deal of depth. For each mint plant, look for a container at least 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) wide.  Ceramic planters are porous and lose moisture easily. Your mint might be happier in a plastic container. You can repurpose a plastic container by drilling a hole in the bottom for drainage. You can pick up some potting soil from a local nursery, home improvement store, or big box store. Mint plants enjoy soil that drains well, so don’t pack the soil too tight. Mint plants are not super finicky, so they will accept a relatively wide pH range. Use a test kit to make sure your soil falls within this optimal range.  To lower the pH of your soil, add some compost, composted manure, or acidic mulch. To raise the pH of your soil, add pelletized lime or wood ash. Using a small trowel and/or your fingers, make a small opening in the soil. Carefully place your mint seedling into this opening. Move the soil around your seedling so that the roots are no longer exposed, and your seedling can stand up. Indoor mint plants do not require fertilizer or mulch. Once you've gotten your mint plant in the soil, give your seedling a generous watering. For one mint plant, offer around 6–8 fluid ounces (180–240 ml) of water.

TL;DR in English: Find a container with a wide surface. Fill your container with potting soil. Test your soil for a pH of 6-7.5. Place your mint seedling in the container. Water your seedling immediately after planting.

Watering your soil when the sun is out will cause it to evaporate quicker, which is why watering it in the morning is better. If you are trying to boost water retention, water it first thing in the morning. Watering your soil in the morning also prevents plants from catching diseases. On average, your soil should get 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of water each week. If your soil is drying out, water it with a garden hose or watering can. Press your finger 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) into the surface of the soil. If it feels dry under the surface, you know you need to water it more.  Your soil should feel moist by the touch but shouldn’t be overly saturated. If your soil is muddy, you know you’re overwatering it. Use a gardening hose on larger lawns. Keep in mind that certain plants will need more or less watering. Research the water needs of the plants you have to make sure you're not giving them too much or too little water. A programmed sprinkler system will enable you to water your soil on a regular schedule. This is especially useful if you aren’t around to water the soil yourself. Program your sprinkler system to provide the appropriate amount of water to your soil.  If you notice the sprinklers are oversaturating the soil, reduce how long they stay on or install a water sensor that will automatically turn them off once your soil reaches a certain saturation level. Sprinklers are inefficient when it's over 90 °F (32 °C) out because the water often evaporates before it is absorbed into the soil. A drip irrigation system is made up of a system of tubes connected to a water source. This method is typically more effective than using a sprinkler system because the water is delivered directly to the soil. Hire a professional to install the system or purchase a drip irrigation kit and put it together yourself.

Warm the weak, newborn puppy. Take the puppy's temperature. Help the puppy nurse. Increase the weak puppy's blood sugar. Supplement the puppy's milk supply. Feed the puppy on a regular basis. Stimulate the puppy's need to go to the bathroom. Take the puppy to a veterinarian.

Some family members may not even realize they're still treating you like a child. It's hard for older adults in your family to let go of the thought of you being "little girl" or "little boy," even if you're well into adulthood. Therefore, you need to broach the topic with them and help them understand what you're feeling.  Start with your feelings. That is, use an "I" statement to describe how you're feeling instead of a "you" statement that puts the blame on them. Blaming someone will put them on the defense. For instance, don't say, " You always treat me like a little kid." Instead, say "I feel upset when you still treat me like a child. I've grown up." Be specific by talking about particular statements or behaviors that bother you. For example, you could say, "I love that you help with the kids, but I don't like when you contradict the rules that I've made." You could also say, "I respect your rules when I'm in your house, but I don't like being asked where I am every second of every day." Tell them what you expect. For instance, you could say, "I would really appreciate if you would respect the rules I've set for my kids." or "I would appreciate it if you would treat me like any other adult who stays in your home." If you're telling your mom a story, tell her what you expect from her upfront. For instance, if you're just telling her the story to give her information and you don't really want advice, let her know that. You could say, "Mom, I need to tell you something, but I want you to promise me that you won't offer your judgment at the end. I feel like you need to know this information, but I don't want advice on my choices." That is, often in communication, people are trying to maintain control. It's a power struggle. Often, this type of communication pops up between a parent and an adult child, or even another type of relationship, such as an aunt and niece or nephew. The "adult" still wants to control the adult child, even if that person doesn't realize it. If you're the adult child, you may want to...

TL;DR in English: Discuss the issue. Be upfront about what you want. Focus on the relationship. Set boundaries.

If you're merely trying to install a new version of Windows on your existing computer, skip this step. Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port on the computer. Click Start, click Power, and click Restart. Your computer will begin to restart. If the computer is off, press its power button to turn it on, then move to the next step. If the computer turns on when you open its lid or move the mouse, you'll still need to restart it before proceeding. As soon as the computer's startup screen appears (the screen right after the computer shuts down and is beginning to restart), begin pressing the BIOS key. Your computer's BIOS key will vary depending on the manufacturer, but it will usually be one of the function keys (e.g., F2), Esc, or Del.  You can check your computer's BIOS key online or in the manual that came with your computer. Many computers will flash a "Press [key] to enter setup" (or similar) message at the bottom of the screen as your computer is starting up. This is the key that you should press. If you miss your opportunity and the computer finishes the restart cycle, you'll need to restart it and try again. This section is usually in the Advanced or Advanced Options tab, but each BIOS menu is different. The "Boot Order" section will have a list of different startup locations, including your hard drive's name and your CD drive. Using the arrow keys, move the highlight bar down until it's covering the flash drive's name. On some computers, you'll instead select Removable Storage or Removable Drives (or something similarly titled). You'll usually do this by pressing the + key until the flash drive is at the top, but check the legend at the bottom or on the side of the BIOS screen to see if your controls are different. There's usually a key that you can press to do this, so check the legend to see what it is and then press it. You may have to press another key to confirm this decision. If your computer doesn't greet you with a "Press any key" screen and instead finishes the restart cycle, restart it...

TL;DR in English: Go to the computer on which you want to install Windows. Plug in your USB flash drive. Prompt the computer to restart. Rapidly press the computer's BIOS key. Find the "Boot Order" section. Select your flash drive's name. Move the flash drive to the top of the list. Save your changes and exit the BIOS. Restart your computer again if necessary.

This style of dress has a bodice and a gathered skirt. Choose a fitted T-shirt that fits you well without stretching too much. Next, choose a material for the skirt. You can use matching cotton fabric, jersey fabric, or a large, baggy T-shirt. The colors and patterns can match, or they can be different. For an interesting look, try a solid-colored shirt with pattered cotton for the skirt. Turn your shirt inside out and put it on. Decide where you want the bodice part of the dress to end and the skirt to begin. This is typically just below the bust or right at the waist. Make a mark using a pin or a dress maker's chalk or pen. Pull the shirt off when you are done. Use chalk for dark colored fabric and pen for light colored fabric. If you need to, use a ruler and a dress maker's chalk or pen to draw a line across your shirt. Cut through both layers of fabric ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) below that line. This will be your seam allowance. Use a measuring tape to measure down from where you want the bodice to end and the skirt to begin. Add ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) for the top seam and 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) for the bottom hem. The skirt part can be as long or as short as you'd like. It needs to be the same length you want it to be, plus the additional 1½ inch (3.81 centimeters), and at least four times wider than the width of your shirt. The wider the fabric is, the fuller the skirt will be! Fold the skirt material in half with the right sides facing in. It should still be the same length you want it to be. Sew it along the edge using a ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) seam allowance and a straight stitch. If you are using stretchy fabric for the skirt, use a narrow zigzag stitch instead. The first row should be ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) away from the top edge, and the second row should be ¾ inch (1.91 centimeters) away from the top edge. You can make a basting stitch by using a long stitch length and a low/loose stitch tension. You will eventually be pulling these threads out, so the color does not matter. In fact, a...

TL;DR in English: Choose your shirt and skirt material. Make a mark on the shirt where you want the bodice to end. Cut across the shirt, ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) below the mark. Decide how long you want the skirt to be. Cut the fabric. Sew the side edges to make a tube. Sew two rows of basting stitches across the top of your fabric. Pull on the bobbin threads to gather them. Pin the shirt to the skirt. Sew the shirt to the skirt. Measure and cut your elastic. Sew the elastic into the hem. Finish sewing the elastic. Pull out the gathering threads. Fold and press the bottom edge of the dress twice to make the hem. Sew the hem. Turn the dress inside out.

Exercise improves your overall health, so naturally, regular cardiovascular/aerobic exercise can also help improve your liver health and ALT levels.  Studies suggest that staying active for a minimum of 150 minutes per week can improve liver enzymes like ALT in the average adult.  Exercise can help you shed excess weight and limit the amount of fat entering your liver. It can also encourage sweat, which is part of your body's natural detoxification defenses. Even just walking for 30 minutes a day can help. You can break this up into 2 sessions of 15 minutes each. Obesity can cause fat to infiltrate the liver cells, and when this happens, your liver can become inflamed. The best way to lose weight is to do it gradually through a healthy diet and regular exercise. Losing weight too quickly through crash diets and radical procedures can put stress on your body and its organs, ultimately causing more problems than you started with. Chemical additives found in cigarettes often contain toxins that damage your liver cells when your liver attempts to filter them. Quit smoking the strengthen your liver and improve your ALT levels. Similarly, you should also avoid second-hand smoke, since you can breathe most of these harmful toxins in and face the same danger. Many household chemicals also contain toxins that can damage the liver, so limiting your exposure to these chemicals can improve your liver health and your ALT levels.  These toxins can be found in many cleaning products, aerosol products, and insecticides. Swap out chemical household products for natural products. When possible, use natural alternatives already available in your home, like using vinegar to whiten your clothes instead of bleach. There are also commercial products labeled as "natural" that may be worth checking into. If you must use these chemicals to clean, wear rubber or nitrile gloves as you do so to protect your skin. A small air purifier can help filter out air pollution in your home. By filtering toxins out of the air you breathe, you limit...

TL;DR in English: Exercise regularly. Lose weight, if necessary. Quit smoking, if applicable. Avoid chemical toxins in your environment. Invest in an air purifier.

If you’ve determined a puppy in the litter needs special care, the first move is to make sure it is warm enough. A cold puppy is not able to nurse and can become dangerously dehydrated and hypoglycemic, which means having life-threatening low blood sugar.  Warming can be accomplished by using a hot water bottle filled with very warm water, 'not' boiling water, placed in the bottom of a small cardboard box or shoe box and covering it with a towel. The puppy can then be placed on the towel, covered with a light cloth or towel and the top of the box can be lightly closed. Alternatively, you can place the puppy on your chest under your clothing until it warms up. You may want to wrap the rear end in a clean piece of cloth so you're not urinated or pooped on! Puppy's tiny claws will be sharp as well, so be prepared for a few scratches. Using a heating pad is dangerous, as they can overheat a puppy. Even on the lowest setting, a heating pad can become dangerously hot. You want to gradually warm the puppy over a course of one to three hours. Warming any more rapidly can cause overheating. There are heating pads made specifically for animals, and these usually don't get as hot. The puppy must not be placed directly on this pad — you must use a towel or fleecy cover between the pad and the puppy in order to avoid thermal burns. If the puppy is open-mouth panting, she is too hot. After you think the puppy is warmed you should use a pediatric digital thermometer to take the puppy’s temperature rectally. Place a small amount of lubricant on the tip and gently insert the very tip into the pup’s rectum.  If the body temperature is below 94 °F (34.4 °C) the gastrointestinal tract will not work properly. However, don’t let the rectal temperature get over 99 °F (37.2 °C) in a puppy less than seven days or overheating can occur. Write the temperature in the same notebook or spreadsheet in which you are recording the weight. Once the puppy is warmed and active, it is time to feed it. Try to see if the mother dog will let the...

This warm dandelion salad is dressed with a roasted garlic dressing and served with toasted nuts. Preheat the oven to 400 F (204 C). To roast the garlic:  Peel off the outer layer of skin from a head of garlic, leaving all the cloves intact. With a good knife, cut the tips off the head of the cloves to expose the garlic underneath. Place the garlic on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle the whole head with a tablespoon (15 ml) of oil. Wrap the garlic in the foil, place it on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish and bake for 35 to 55 minutes. When the garlic is done, the cloves inside will be golden and caramelized. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before popping the cloves out of the skins. Preheat your oven to 350 F (177 C). Spread the nuts out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for five to 10 minutes (five minutes for pine nuts, 10 minutes for almonds), flipping or stirring halfway through. Place all the cloves from the head of roasted garlic into a food processor or blender. Blend it until smooth, along with the oil, vinegar, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the dressing and warm it for about two minutes. Add the shallot and cook for another three to five minutes, until it’s soft. Arrange the dandelion greens in a large bowl and pour the dressing over them. Toss the salad until the greens are coated. Toss in the toasted nuts, season with pepper, and serve.  You can also make this salad with a variety of greens, such as spinach, arugula, endive, cabbage, frisée, kale and radicchio.  When you add the nuts at the end, you can also sprinkle in a small handful of currants for an additional texture and flavor.  If you picked your own dandelion greens from the garden for this salad, pick the flowers as well and use them to garnish the salad, as they are also edible.

TL;DR in English: Roast the garlic. Toast the nuts. Prepare the dressing. Warm the greens. Serve the salad.

Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of cooking oil in a heavy pan. Using tongs, place the veal in the oil. Sear it for 1–2 minutes until it is browned, turning it halfway through. Remove the pan from heat. Add 1 cup (240 ml) of broth or water to the pan. Cover it with a lid or aluminum foil. Cook for the veal in the oven for 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the size of your veal cut. Avoid overcooking the meat by checking its temperature at the 1.5 hour mark, and every 15–20 minutes after. Insert a digital meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat to get an accurate reading.

Tell your friend how important they are to you, and that you miss them. While it may be tempting to get this talk over with as soon as possible, cutting corners could work against you. This is the opportunity to wear your heart on your sleeve. Again, avoid one-liners like, "Let's bury the hatchet" - such contrived phrases might put your friend on guard. Again, it's best if you approach the conversation without preconceived notions of how they're feeling or what they're going to say. Keep an open mind, and give them as long as they need to say whatever it is they need to.  They may need a cue from you, like "I'm sure I made you feel pretty awful," or "I'd love to be friends again. Do you think that's possible?"  Listen without interrupting, even if what they say triggers certain responses in you. You may have been ready to talk things through, but perhaps your friend wasn't quite. Both of you might need time to process what the other has said. You've made a big, important step initiating this talk - now step back a bit so your friend can consider.  This is especially important to keep in mind if you don't receive a positive response at first. In a few weeks or months, your friend may still come around.  It may be difficult to take a step back from your friendship, but it may be necessary for your friendship to heal.

TL;DR in English: Tap into sincerity. Listen to your friend's side. Give your friend time to think it over.

Frustration and overstimulation can lead to self-injurious behavior (SIB). This behavior can be very scary for parents, but you should know that it is common and preventable.   Make a doctor appointment. Sometimes SIB is related to pain. For example, a child who hits their own head may be experiencing pain from a toothache or lice. Solving the medical problem may make the SIB disappear. Researchers also believe that biochemicals play a role. During self-injury, endorphins are released, which inhibit the individual from feeling much pain while making them feel happier. Some parents have noticed that switching to a gluten-free diet helps, as does increasing the intake of vitamin B6 and calcium.  Some of the best sources of vitamin B6 include sunflower seeds, pistachio nuts, fish, poultry, pork, beef, prunes, raisins, bananas, avocados, and spinach. Some of the best sources of calcium include milk, cheese, yogurt, spinach, kale, okra, collards, soybeans, white beans, and calcium-fortified juices and cereals. Always consult a doctor before altering a child's diet. . Some autistic individuals rub their skin excessively to receive stimulation or do some other potentially injurious behavior and wind up hurting themselves. Intervene by encouraging safer forms of stimulation. Massage can work, as can rubbing the skin lightly with a brush, or wearing a thin layer of clothing over the skin (e.g. sweatpants) to prevent damage while scratching.  Say something like "You're hurting your legs. Could you massage them instead of hitting them?" Remember that many autistic people don't like the idea of hurting themselves. Work with your child to find alternative ways to stim. For example, hitting one's head could be replaced by rapidly shaking the head. Search the internet to see what substitutes autistic adults have found for their SIB. Be consistent. Autistic children need to know that self-harm is not appropriate or allowed, that you will always be there to help them handle it. Work with other caregivers and teachers so that...

TL;DR in English: Know that self-injury is common among autistic people. Experiment with nutritional intervention. Encourage safe forms of stimulation Deal with sources of frustration.

Your financial time horizon is a set date, usually months, years or even decades in the future, at which time you will achieve your financial goal. A common time horizon is a retirement date. If you have a longer time horizon, you may feel more comfortable taking on riskier financial decisions. If your time horizon is relatively short, you may need to minimize risk.  An example of a shorter time horizon would be a teenager saving for his college education, or someone in their 50s planning for retirement. Long-term investors should be willing (and able) to "ride out" the low points of financial return, i.e., periods when their assets have lost value. Holding an asset longer doesn't necessarily result in increased value. Your risk tolerance is based on your ability — financial as well as emotional — to lose much of your original investment in exchange for greater potential returns.  Your risk tolerance will change over the course of your lifetime, though your temperament may not. Someone with a higher risk tolerance may take on more aggressive (and risky) investments, while someone with a lower risk threshold will be happier with a less risky investment, even if it results in lower returns. Think of your risk tolerance level in terms of sleep — anything that  causes you to worry and lose sleep at night should be avoided. If there's an investment that keeps you up at night worrying, then you've taken a bigger risk than you're currently prepared to take. If your time horizon changes, or your life circumstances alter your risk tolerance level, you may wish to change the manner in which you allocate your assets. This is known as "rebalancing" and it occurs when your investments are no longer in line with your investment goals. Many investors choose to readjust their investments on an annual or semi-annual basis.  Rebalancing may trigger transaction fees or tax consequences. Avoid changing your asset allocation based on performance. Remember that if a given asset isn't doing well, it will likely increase in value in...

Get the correct licenses and permits. Make sure what you're selling is legal.

You'll find these listed below under "Things You'll Need". In selecting a container, choose one that will look pretty or relevant to your Easter display. You might use a hollow rabbit shaped container, or a plain container that can be decorated in Easter patterns and colors. Or, choose one such as a plastic berry container that can be placed easily into the base of an Easter basket rather than going on display. If you want to be able to grow the grass direct in an Easter basket, line the basket with something waterproof such as plastic wrap, a plastic bag or cellophane. This will prevent the water from leaching into the basket and the soil from going everywhere.    Pour in enough water to wet and mix through.  You will probably need a lot more than you'd need for an eggshell container, depending on the size of the container chosen. Again, the reason for packing in the seeds is to ensure luxuriant growth.  Keep an eye on the need for additional water; use a spray bottle. The sprouts should shoot up within a few days, sometimes even in a day. The wheat or grass will grown to a good length within 4 to 5 days. If using in an Easter basket, it's a good idea to place something like wax paper or a waterproof sheet like the ones found in some Styrofoam meat trays, to protect the base of the basket from any wetness seeping out.

TL;DR in English: Assemble the supplies needed. Pour the potting soil or soil into a large bowl or bucket. Fill the container three quarters of the way full with the wet soil. Place a layer of wheat or grass seeds across the container, packed in tightly so that you can't see the soil underneath. Cover lightly with some more soil and pat into place. Place in a warm, sunny position, such as the windowsill. Keep trimmed as needed. Use in displays or Easter baskets.

You'll need to do this in the Layers panel. It is typically on the right side.  Most images that haven’t been edited before will only have one layer called "Background”.  You'll need to convert it to a standard layer in the Layers panel so that you can edit it.  The Layers panel is usually on the right side.  If you don't see if, click Windows followed by Layers.  Use the following steps to create a layer from the background:  Navigate to the Layers window. Right-click the Background layer. Select Layer From Background…. Leave the options at their presets and press OK. To select the Magic Eraser, click the Eraser in the toolbar to the left, then click the Magic Eraser icon at the bottom of the screen. Once you select the Magic Eraser, you will see some settings in the top menu bar in the upper-left corner. Set the following settings:  Set Tolerance to 20-30. A low tolerance will keep parts of your original image from being erased when you use the tool. If the Magic Eraser erases too much of your subject, lower the tolerance.  If it doesn't erase enough of the background, increase the tolerance.  Use the following steps to adjust the Magic Eraser settings. Check the Anti-alias box. Check the Contiguous box. Set Opacity to 100% The Magic Eraser will remove all of the color that you clicked on, turning it into the transparent background.  If the Magic Eraser erases something you don't want to erase, you can press Ctrl + Z or Command + Z to undo the last thing you did.  You can undo several steps using the History panel to the right.  If you don't see the History panel, click Windows in the menu bar at the top and select History. If the background is one solid color, you can probably erase the entire background with one click.  If it has multiple colors, you may have to click different areas of the background to delete all of it.  If there are any parts of the background around the edges of your subject, you can use the regular eraser tool to carefully erases the remaining edges using single clicks.  Click circle...

TL;DR in English: Create a layer from the background layer. Select the Magic Eraser tool. Adjust the Magic Eraser settings. Click the background. Erase any leftover background.

When transplanting it, align this ribbon to the same direction as its previous location. This is called "sun orientation", and is important to observe because it eases the sapling's adaptation as it adjusts to the new location. For example, tie a colored ribbon to north side of the tree, and plant with this ribbon facing north. This will ensure that the soil is moist when you need to dig up the plant. Just be sure not to overwater, as too much water can hinder growth. Consistently watering for several days before you transfer the plant will help the soil stay clumped to the plant's root ball. The root ball of your selected sapling should be between 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) for each 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the trunk's diameter at chest height. For example, if your tree has a trunk diameter of 1 inch (2.5 cm), the diameter of the root ball should be 16 to 24 inches (41 to 61 cm). You can also measure the root ball after digging it out for better accuracy. However, estimating will give you a good idea of how to dig around the ball to minimize damage to the tree's roots. Use a round-point shovel to cut a circle around the root system of the sapling. Cut into the soil as deep as you can so that you preserve the roots intact, and always make sure that the root ball does not break.  If the ground is firm enough and has moisture, you can cut around and down below the main root mass and remove it intact without disturbing  the roots. Limit yourself to trees with a trunk diameter of 2 inches (5.1 cm) or less. Anything bigger should be transplanted by an experienced contractor. Moving the tree to its new hole is much easier (and less messy) when it's wrapped in a plastic or cloth. For soil that is loose and sandy, it's a necessity. Purchase plastic or a tarp from local home hardware or garden stores. If you can pull the tree up with most of the roots still in soil, you can carry it a short distance to replant it. Walk slowly and handle it gently to avoid shaking, jarring, or other action to the root ball. This will...

TL;DR in English: Tag the direction the sapling is facing with a ribbon prior to removal. Water the area of the young tree 3 to 4 days prior to transplanting. Estimate the radius of the root ball. Dig up the sapling 12 inches (30 cm) from the base of the tree. Place a plastic or burlap cloth on the ground beside the tree. Grab the sapling from the bottom and lift it out of the hole. Roll your root ball onto plastic or burlap fabric for far transfers.

Work on enhancing and enriching your natural hair color instead of introducing an entirely new color. For example, dark brunettes should keep their rich tones and warm blondes should stick to golden tones. These tones compliment your skin’s complexion, helping you look younger and more natural.  Making a drastic hair color change tends to be aging. A drastic color change can end up looking brassy, as well. Warm tones can brighten up your complexion and help you look more youthful. The warmer the shade, the more youthful it tends to appear. If you are blonde, avoid icy and ashy tones. Opt for warm, golden shades of blonde. Brunettes should stick to caramel and honey tones. Avoid ash brown shades. If you’re a redhead, opt for copper tones and avoid burgundy. Cool tones can appear "frosty" and make you look older. Very dark hair colors can wash out your complexion. They can also make your hair look one-dimensional and flat, and the opaqueness will emphasize greys and regrowth. If you’re determined to have dark hair, go for a medium or dark chestnut brown. If you’re unsure which shade you should choose, go one shade lighter than the color you want. It’s better to err on the side of lighter color rather than going too dark.  When coloring your hair at home, don't leave the dye on too long. If you’re getting a professional dye job, ask for a single-process color close to your natural shade and subtle highlights one shade lighter than your natural shade. Very light blonde dyes can make your hair look nearly gray, especially if they are cool-toned ashy shades. They can also make your complexion look dull and washed out. Stick to warm, buttery blonde shades, which tend to look the most youthful. Don’t go more than two shades lighter than your natural hair color.  Anything beyond that can have a very aging effect. Make sure there’s some contrast between your skin tone and hair color. For example, if you’re very pale, avoid dyeing your hair a similarly pale shade. Avoid experimenting with extreme colors like bright...

TL;DR in English: Stay close to your natural shade. Skip cool tones. Avoid going too dark. Avoid going too light. Stick to natural hair colors.

Sales tax permits are required from your local and state government revenue agencies. A food handler's permit is necessary if you're planning on selling food products, which means you'll have to take the food handler's test, usually available online. A business license from the city or county clerk's office is required.  Additional location-specific vendor permits may be required. Check with both the city clerk's office and with any organizers you might be working with, including the farmers' market or festival organizers you may be working with. Obviously selling illegal drugs is...well, illegal, but what about selling pickles at a music festival? What about selling your chicken eggs in used cartons? Hidden regulations govern all sorts of food items, so you need to be very careful about checking for your state's laws. Washington state, for instance, does not allow eggs to be sold in used containers, but Idaho does. Pets are commonly sold, but you need to make sure they're registered and legal animals. No selling endangered turtles or reptiles, for instance. Copyrighted material including movies and music can get you into Federal trouble if you're selling it. Don't sell any pirated music or movies unless it was created by you or you have the express permission of the creator to sell it.

TL;DR in English:


Use your phone to connect to your computer.

Connect with a data cable. Connect via Bluetooth.

Some states also require that bartenders take alcohol awareness classes prior to beginning work. Check with your city/state to clarify the specific requirements. Alcohol awareness classes cover DUIs, fake IDs, Blood Alcohol Levels (BAL), serving alcohol to minors, preventing intoxication, and other related issues. Each bartending school is different, but most classes will teach you how to prepare hundreds of different kinds of cocktails, deal with intoxicated patrons, prepare garnishes, pour liquor, and differentiate between different types of beer and wine. However, going through bartending school is not a requirement in all states and countries, so you might be able to skip this entirely. Keep in mind that bartending school is not a substitute for on the job experience. You will still need to pay your dues and work in a supporting role to land a job as a bartender.

TL;DR in English: Take any required courses. Complete bartending school if needed.

Approach your parents during your chosen time to talk and tell them directly you want to talk. It's normal to be nervous, but take a few deep breaths and launch directly into the conversation. For example, say something like, "Guys, do you have a minute? I wanted to ask you something." It's best to get directly to the point instead of beating around the bush. Maturely tell them you want to get a rabbit and that you've done your research on the subject. For example, say something like, "I really want to get a pet rabbit. I've been reading a lot online, so I know all about taking care of one. I think I could do this by myself and it wouldn't create extra work for you." Remember, you want to show your parents you're mature. If you come off as demanding, they may get frustrated. Use basic manners and show some gratitude when asking.  For example, "I know how hard you work and I really appreciate that. I know taking on another pet is a big responsibility." Basic manners can also go a long way. For example, "Could you please think about it? Thanks!" When your parents respond to your question, do not interrupt. Listen to what they're saying and try to understand their concerns. The better you understand why they're saying "No," the better you can address it.

TL;DR in English: Ask your parents to talk. Introduce the subject directly. Use your manners when asking. Listen to your parents' perspective.

If the Kool Aid stain is on your hands, you should wash your hands. Do so like you would normally wash your hands, but use the stain remover you chose instead of hand soap.  Run your hands under clean water. Let your hands get wet before turning off the tap. Be careful, however, as the Kool Aid may drip when wet and you don't want to stain your sink. It might be a good idea to lay a washable cloth towel or paper towel down on the sink while you wash your hands. Lather your hands with the strain remover. Once your hands are wet, apply whatever stain removal method you chose and lather your hands. Make sure you get between your fingers and the back of your hands. Lather your hands for about 20 seconds. It can help to hum the "Happy Birthday" song twice to keep track.  Rinse your hands thoroughly and pat dry. Oftentimes, Kool Aid gets stained on the upper lip. This is sometimes referred to as a "Kool Aid mustache" and is fairly easy to remove.  Add a small amount of the stain remover to a damp washcloth. If you're using something more acidic, like vinegar or lemon juice, you only need to add a few drops as any more could irritate your skin.  Gently dab your upper lip with the washcloth until the Kool Aid comes off.  Rinse off your upper lip with cool water and then pat dry. Oftentimes, people use Kool Aid to dye their hair and end up staining their hairline. If this is the case with you, you can mix in your chosen stain remover with your regular shampoo and take a shower. Be careful to rinse your hair thoroughly, especially if you used something like toothpaste which can be hard to get out of hair. You might want to do one wash using the stain remover along with your shampoo and then another wash with plain shampoo.

TL;DR in English: Wash your hands. Remove stains from the upper lip. Remove stains from the hairline.

Make sure the pencil eraser has never been used before. Place the eraser on the scuff mark on your shoe and gently rub it back and forth until the scuff is gone. If your leather shoes are black, use a black felt-tip marker. If your leather shoes are brown or another color, find a felt-tip marker that matches. Place the tip of the marker on the scratch and carefully color it in so you don’t get marker on the rest of your shoe. Dip the end of a cotton swab in petroleum jelly. Gently rub the petroleum jelly into the scuff on your shoe until it fades away. Dip the corner of a wet rag into a bowl of white vinegar. Rub the soaked rag onto the salt stains on your shoes until they’re gone.

TL;DR in English: Use a pencil eraser to remove scuffs on your suede shoes. Fill in small scratches on your leather shoes with a felt-tip marker. Remove scuffs on your patent-leather shoes with petroleum jelly. Use white vinegar to remove salt stains on your leather shoes.

Most Nokia phones come with their own data cables. Use these to plug and connect your phone to your computer. If your phone has Bluetooth, turn it on and have your phone and your computer pair up. If this is your first time to link the two devices, you will be asked for a passcode that you would need to enter in both devices.

TL;DR in English:


Use a vacuum for a quick way to catch flies in a room. Set out a dish soap trap if you need to lure out flies. Create a funnel trap to prevent smaller flies from escaping. Hang flypaper if you need to prevent flies from landing. Install a fly zapper for a reusable trap that kills flies.

A store bought card can be nice, but your partner will appreciate the effort that went into a homemade card. You can stop by your local craft store and get some construction paper, decorations, and fancy markers or pencils. Then, you can assemble a nice, personalized card. Make sure to include a heartfelt message inside the card. If you don't feel confident in your crafting abilities, you can order custom made cards online. You can also buy a blank card at a local gift shop and write your message inside. If you like baking, your significant other will appreciate a homemade baked good. Bake their favorite type of pastry and send it in a care package. This can be particularly helpful for a birthday. You can send your partner a homemade birthday cake or birthday cupcakes, for example. Keep in mind, homemade baked goods may not last long. You may have to get expedited shipping. If your partner lives overseas, sending baked goods may not be the best option. You can stop by a local craft store to seek inspiration. Even if you're not particularly artsy, something as simple as a collage of photos of the two of you will be much appreciated.  If you knit, try knitting a scarf or hat. If you love to draw or paint, make them a picture. You can, for example, paint a picture of the coffee shop where you first met. Sewing projects can be fun. You can try to sew a small stuffed toy of your significant other's favorite animal, for example. Smell is strongly linked to memory. Sending your partner something around the house that has your distinct smell can help them savor memories of you.  If there's a particular brand of shampoo, laundry detergent, or lotion you use, send a small tube of that. If you have a nightshirt you wear frequently, you could send this as long as you're comfortable giving it up for a while. You could also send one of your pillowcases. There may be certain things that are common where you live, but difficult to find where your significant other lives. Try putting one or two of these items into the care...

TL;DR in English: Include a homemade card. Bake something. Include some crafts. Send something that smells like you. Think of something that is common where you live.

On a male, the front of their heads will have a high, noticeable crown. It will likely look much more prominent and a bit larger than the female angelfish. This feature might be more prominent at maturity, but you may be able to notice it earlier on in the lifespan, as well. This isn’t a sure-fire way to tell the difference between the sexes. In some strains of angelfish, this physical difference might not always be present. Female angelfish might have more rounded bodies than males. Female angelfish are also generally a little smaller than male angelfish. If you want to buy pairs to breed, try buying a few smaller angelfish and a few larger angelfish. Once they’re mature, you’ll more than likely find out you have a few males and a few females. On female angelfish, the line from their dorsal fin to their eyes also tends to be a bit straighter than that of the male’s. Sometimes with female angelfish, you might be able to notice a difference when they swim towards you. The shape of their bellies might be a bit bigger or wider than male angelfish. Try looking into the tank and waiting for each of the fish to swim towards the glass. Observe the shape of their bellies from that angle.

TL;DR in English: Look for a large crowned head on male angelfish. Check for a smaller, more rounded shape on female angelfish. Watch them as they swim towards you.

You'll need two or three people to help you roll the patient onto her back. Wash your hands before rolling and explain to the patient what you're going to do (if she's conscious). The patient should be lying on a blanket or turning sheet with her hands placed across her chest. You should all be holding the blanket or sheet on the side of the patient that's farthest from you. Gradually pull the sheet towards you and over the patient, turning her onto her back. Once the patient is on her back, you can examine the skin. Look for any bruising that might indicate trauma, lacerations or gunshot wounds. Since you should have already examined and cleared the cervical spine, you'll need to press (palpate) each individual vertebrae of the back. Specifically, palpate the thoracic and lumbar spine, feeling each vertebrae for pain that might indicate a fracture.  Don't forget to check any parts of the musculo-skeletal system that you might not have examined earlier. For example, you can ask the patient to grasp your finger with their clutched hand to check for motor control and strength, and then ask the patient to tell you without looking which finger of theirs you are gripping. Palpate down the lengths of the arms and legs as well, all the way to the toes and fingers to feel for possible fractures. You can also do this when you are doing the log roll check of the patient's spine. Once the primary and secondary surveys are complete, perform a TTS. This extensive examination should take place within 24 hours of admitting the patient. Or, do it when the patient is awake and alert enough to participate in the examination. You'll need to get the patient's medical chart that includes all laboratory and radiologic data. This information will be combined with the opinions of consultants in order to make a management and care plan that's specific to the patient.

TL;DR in English: Log roll the patient. Access the patient's back. Move on to a trauma tertiary survey (TTS).

Put on disposable gloves, a face mask, and a paper gown before you care for the sick person. When you leave their room, take off your protective gear and throw it in a plastic trash bag. Don’t reuse your protective clothing because you may accidentally come into contact with the virus. Coronavirus spreads through droplets and can linger on your clothing, so protect yourself as best you can. Coronavirus can linger on commonly-used items like cups, plates, utensils, and towels. Use separate items for each member of the household while someone is sick. Otherwise, you might accidentally spread the infection. Play it safe! When in doubt, wash the item before you use it or get another one. Clothing, bedding, and towels can all hold coronavirus, so it’s important to wash them thoroughly. Set your washing machine on the hottest setting and measure out the recommended amount of detergent for the load size. Then, wash your laundry on the normal or heavy-duty setting, depending on your model. If it’s safe for your fabrics, add a cap full of bleach or color-safe bleach to sanitize the laundry. Since COVID-19 is transmitted when people are in close contact, you’re at a greater risk of infection while you’re sharing a space with a sick person. Ventilating the room may help clear out the air, which can minimize your risk of contracting the virus. Open a window or turn on an air conditioner if you can. Don’t open a window if it’s raining or the temperature is uncomfortably cold or hot.

TL;DR in English: Wear disposable protective gear while providing care if possible. Don’t share household items with the infected person. Wash all laundry on hot to disinfect it. Open a window to ventilate the room if weather permits.

Flies are very hard to catch with a regular flyswatter, but you can easily trap them with a vacuum. Put a hose attachment on your vacuum, point it at a fly, and watch it get sucked up. It's simple to use and stops you from having to run around all day trying to swat these quick pests. If you don't have a good vacuum, you could also get an electrified fly swatter. It is way more effective than a regular one and works outdoors as well. Once you get close to a fly, the electricity stuns it so you can get rid of it. Choose a shallow container with a wide opening, such as a small saucer or glass, so that those nasty flies go straight for the bait. Pour in at least 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of apple cider vinegar, then add about 3 drops of any liquid dish detergent. The soap breaks the surface tension so the flies can't get out once they fall in. The vinegar is the bait, and the apple cider scent attracts plenty of flies. If you don't have apple cider vinegar handy, make sure you have a fruit-flavored dish soap. Replace the vinegar with an equal amount of water. House flies and fruit flies can't resist a sweet treat. After adding at least 1⁄3  c (79 mL) of water into a mason jar or a tall glass, mix in 1 US tsp, or about 4 g, of sugar. Set a plastic funnel on top of the jar. Then, watch as your unwanted house guests crawl in without being able to get out.  Sugary foods and drinks make for great bait if you don't have sugar. Try using honey, wine, or even some decaying fruit. You could also add yeast to help bring in the flies. To make your own funnel, cut a piece of paper into a circle, then cut a wedge out of one side. Fold the cut ends together to create a cone with about a 0.39 in (0.99 cm) bottom opening. Tape the ends together to hold the cone in place. Another way to make a cone is by cutting a soda bottle in half. Put the bait in the bottom portion. Remove the cap from the top portion, turn it upside down, and insert it into the bottom portion. Flypaper comes in strips you hang from exposed areas where flies land,...
