Tense the muscles in your legs, arms, and torso for 15 to 20 seconds. Monitor your blood pressure Expose yourself to your fear hierarchy while tensing your muscles. Work through your fear hierarchy at your own pace.

A reality check is when you ask yourself: "Am I awake, or am I dreaming?" This will ultimately help you tell the difference between the dream world and reality when you are asleep.  Reality checks call attention to a fundamental difference between dreams and reality: in dreams, states are fluid; in reality, states stay the same. In dreams, text will change into different words; trees change color and shape; clocks tell time backwards instead of forwards. In reality, text stays the same, trees stay rooted in the ground, and clocks move clockwise.  A good reality check to perform, both in reality and dreams, is looking at text. Suppose a poster in your room says "Justin Bieber." Turn away for a minute, and look at the poster again. If it still says "Justin Bieber," the reality check says that you're awake. If you turn away, then look at the poster and it says "Selena Gomez," the reality check will tell you that you're dreaming. When you're having a dream and realize that you are having a dream, then you start to be able to control most of what happens in your dream.  When you make the leap and realize you're dreaming, try to calm yourself down. If you get too excited about finally being able to control your dreams, you might accidentally wake up from excitement. Try small activities at first. Again, this is about staying in control of your excitement and not accidentally waking up. Even mundane things like cooking food, climbing a ladder, or skateboarding can be fun when you realize you're in full control. A lot of people enjoy flying, swimming deep into the ocean, and time travel. Try moving huge objects, passing through walls, or even telekinesis. The dreams that you can have are limited only by your imagination!

TL;DR in English: Try "reality checks" throughout the day. Ace your reality check. Gradually build up to bigger activities.

to 375°F/190°C. Leave at least an inch of space between the cookies because they'll spread out when they bake. You can usually fit 12 cookies on a full-sized cookie sheet at a time. Using a spatula, lift cookies off and place onto wax paper, a plate, or a cooling rack. Eat when hot and steamy or cooled and slightly crisp. If you like you can pipe a small swirl of icing or whipping cream on top and add some sprinkles to make it look fancy.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a pre-greased or a lined baking sheet. Let cool for about 5-7 minutes. Go ahead and eat!

One way to try to get him to stop liking you is to simply tell him that you're not interested in person. You don't need to be mean about it, just direct and straightforward. The next time you see him, bring it up with him to help ease his attentions. You could say, "John, you seem to be interested in me as a girlfriend. I wanted to let you know that I don't feel the same way." If you can't bring yourself to do it in person, you can always try a text or message. In some ways, it can be better, because it can help save his ego; however, he also might think you don't have enough respect for him to tell him in person. Think about whether he's more of a digital person or a person who likes to deal with things face-to-face to help make your decision about how to tell him. Once again, be direct but not mean. You could write, "John, please stop sending me texts. I'm not interested in you in the way you're interested in me." It can be tempting to explain why you don't like him. He may even ask why you don't like him; however, that can get nasty very quickly. It's best to just say that you're not interested in him romantically, and then leave it alone. For example, saying, "I don't like you because you're ugly," is not going to help the situation at all. Instead, say, "I just don't feel that way about you." . If you're timid in your assertion that you're not interested, some guys may take that as an indication to work harder to get you to like them; however, if you are confident when you're telling him that you're not interested, that usually will work better to get a guy to back off.  Speak in a clear, confident tone. Make sure you're standing tall or sitting up straight. Look him in the eye as you say it. Also, try not to make it into a question. That is, some people put an upward inflection on the end of a sentence, making it seem like a question rather than a statement. Keep your tone steady. If you leave it open-ended, you're giving him a chance to hope for a relationship in the future. You don't want him to hold...

TL;DR in English: Tell the guy you don't like him in person. Try a text. Don't point out what's wrong with him. Be confident Don't leave the door open.

If you’re eating pre-cut watermelon you bought from the market, the container should include an eat-by, best-by, or other expiration date.  This date lets you know how long you have until the watermelon goes bad. Properly stored, sliced watermelon will stay good three to five days.  Make eating it a priority to prevent it from going bad. After about a week, uncut, unrefrigerated watermelon will start to turn.  Eat uncut, unrefrigerated watermelon as soon as possible. After about two weeks, refrigerated, uncut watermelon will start to turn.  To prevent your uncut, refrigerated watermelon from going bad, eat it within two weeks of purchase.

TL;DR in English: Use the expiration date. Eat cut watermelon within five days. Eat unrefrigerated, uncut watermelon within 10 days. Don’t eat refrigerated, uncut watermelon after 2-3 weeks.

Pump your your muscles by flexing and relaxing them for 15 to 20 seconds. Rest for 15 to 20 seconds, then do a total of 5 pump and rest cycles, or until your face starts to feel flushed. Tensing your muscles increases your heart rate and blood pressure. This sends more blood to your brain, which can help prevent fainting. as you practice, if possible. Pumping until your face feels flush works in a pinch, but using a blood pressure monitor is the most accurate way to check your progress. If you have a home monitoring kit, an app, or a fitness tracker, take your reading before tensing your muscles. Do 5 pump and rest cycles, then take your blood pressure again.  During or immediately after tensing, your systolic blood pressure, or the top number, should increase by around 8 mmHg (the unit of measure for blood pressure). Take your blood pressure again 3 minutes after tensing. Your systolic reading should be around 4 mmHg higher than your first measurement. Your diastolic blood pressure, or the bottom number, should remain constant. Do 3 to 5 more tensing cycles if your blood pressure doesn't increase. After learning how to tense your muscles, expose yourself to triggers that gradually become more intense. Do 5 pump and rest cycles, then look at the first, least intense trigger. Tense your muscles periodically while looking at the trigger and encourage yourself with positive thoughts.  For example, the first step in your fear hierarchy might be to read about blood or blood withdrawal in a medical encyclopedia. Read for around 10 seconds at first, then slowly work your way up to at least 15 minutes. Additional triggers could include looking at red dots, actual pictures of blood, recordings of blood being drawn, and video of a bleeding cut. When you can tolerate the first trigger, proceed to the next. Tense your muscles before and while looking at triggers. Don’t rush yourself through exposure therapy, and move onto the next phase only when you’re ready.  If you have trouble with a step, start over and slowly work...

Any adoption agency that you work with will want you to demonstrate that you are in good health. If you have a chronic health condition you will need a letter from your doctor stating that you are physically capable of caring for a child. Some states in the U.S. will also need a doctor’s word that you will likely live to see the child reach the age of 16.  If you have ever been on medication for a mental illness you will need a doctor’s letter stating that you are mentally stable. All members of the household must also be considered mentally stable by a medical professional. If you are pursuing an independent adoption, you might need to provide your attorney with this information. In the US, laws vary from state to state, but independent adoptions are typically bound by the same regulations as agency adoptions. Typically, you will need local and federal clearance to adopt a child. This will vary from country to country. In the U.S., for example, you will be subject to a background check by both your state and the FBI. If you have an arrest on your record, you will need to write a letter explaining it. In some cases, the court might require some type of rehabilitation process. Some criminal charges might keep you from ever adopting a child. For example, you would not be allowed to adopt with a history of child abuse. In order to adopt, you will probably need to be able to demonstrate that you are financially stable. This is an important indicator that you are capable of caring for a child. Depending on where you live, an agency will perform an assessment of your finances. There is generally not an income minimum that you have to meet, but you will need to show that you don’t have severe financial problems. You will also need to provide proof of comprehensive health insurance coverage. The agency will want to know some personal information about you. This isn’t meant to be invasive, it’s simply a way to help make sure the child would be going to a good home. You’ll need to provide details about your marital...

TL;DR in English: Provide evidence of good physical and mental health. Share your criminal history. Disclose your financial information. Give information about your home environment.

Several cloud based web portals facilitate recording of phone conversations without the additional hassle of installing any software or purchasing hardware. The service calls both the source and destination numbers, bridges them, and records the call. The service is tightly integrated into a telephony infrastructure which resides in the cloud. This allows providers to store recordings in the cloud and make them available to subscribers through personal portals. Some of such services are www.recordator.com, www.saveyourcall.com etc and a list of such services can be found at this Wikipedia article[1] All your call recordings are made available by the providers in your personal dashboard and you can download them as well. At first, you need to create your personal profile on their website and purchase calling minutes according to their pricing plans. Average call + recording pricing varies from 10-25 cents per minute depending on which plan you choose. You need to take care of the legal angle. So if your location requires two party consent, the onus in on you to inform your caller that the call is being recorded.

TL;DR in English: Use cloud-based web applications. Most of such services utilize the 'Cloud-Bridge' technology. There are several providers. They  can be used with any type of phone(fixed line or cellphone). All such web applications follow a subscription based model. They do not inform your caller that the call is being recorded.

Mulch helps prevent the return of weeds, which can deprive your cucumbers of nutrients. It also keeps the soil warm and moist. For additional warmth, use a darker mulch. If you're using straw or wood chips, wait until the soil has warmed up to at least 70 °F (21 °C). The soil surrounding cucumber plants should be slightly moist at all times. Plan on giving your cucumbers at least 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of water a week to fulfill their hydration needs.  Be especially vigilant as the plant flowers and begins to fruit. Stress from lack of water can result in bitter-tasting cucumbers. Water at the soil level. Wet leaves are at risk of developing powdery mildew. A drip irrigation system can regulate the water flow more constantly, while keeping the foliage dry. If you live in an area where summer temperatures routinely climb above 90 °F (32 °C), your cucumbers will likely need some shade from the afternoon sun. Plant taller crops south of your cucumbers to provide some shade, or use a shade cloth that will block at least 40 percent of the sunlight. A fine mesh netting will keep rabbits and chipmunks away. Covering seeds and tiny seedlings with a berry basket keeps them safe from getting dug up by animals. Once the plants get larger, you can remove the netting. A fence around your garden would better protect your cucumbers at this stage. If you fertilized your soil before seeding, wait until runners appear on the vines and the flowers begin to bud, then add a mild liquid fertilizer or organic feed such as compost or aged manure every 2 weeks.  If the leaves turn yellow, your plants need more nitrogen. Look for a high-nitrogen fertilizer. When using inorganic fertilizer, take care not to get it on any of the plant's leaves or fruits. You can buy both organic and inorganic insecticides and fungicides at your local gardening center. Spray your plants at the first sign of insects or fungus.  Sulfur has fungicidal properties. However, if you're using sulfur as an organic fungicide, check your soil's pH regularly...

TL;DR in English: Add mulch once seedlings sprout up. Keep your cucumbers well-hydrated. Shade your cucumbers from excess heat. Cover your plants with netting to protect them from wildlife. Fertilize again once flowers begin to bud. Use insecticides or fungicides to combat pests and disease.

Don’t stop when your foot hits the ball. Move your foot through the ball as it leaves your foot. This ensures your leg’s momentum is fully expended on the ball. Your foot will raise up at the end of the swing’s arc. Bring your foot down and plant it on the ground first before you try to move. That way the momentum of your swing is maximized and you stabilize yourself as you try to move. If possible, run after your shot. Putting pressure on your opponent may cause them to deflect or drop the ball, giving you a chance to follow your shot and potentially score.

your soil to see if it is slightly acidic. Bulbs grow best in slightly acidic soil, which has a pH between 6 and 7. You can test the soil by using a kit from a home improvement store. Scoop a small sample of soil into the kit’s vial, then add the included chemical to complete the test.  If your soil needs to be adjusted, you can find amending substances at most gardening centers. To raise the pH, mix limestone into the soil. Lower a high pH by mixing sulfur or aluminum sulfate into the soil. Wait for a hard rain to fall, then watch as your yard dries. Most bulbs grow better in well-drained soil. Any spots that have pools of water a few hours after the rain stops should be avoided.  A few bulbs survive in damp soil, such as some species of daffodil, summer snowflake, and snake’s head. You can amend poorly-draining soil by mixing sand about 8 in (20 cm) deep into it. Bulbs generally grow better in areas that receive 6 or more hours of sunlight a day. A few varieties can bloom in shade as long as the soil receives moisture and drains well. For easier growing, keep your bulbs in sunlight.  Watch your yard as the day progresses to see which areas get lots of sunlight. Snowdrops, begonias, and caladium are a few bulbs that may grow successfully in shade. During the spring and summer months, watch the planting area. If you already have other plants in your garden, you may spot some places that look a little empty. These spots are often good places to add bulbs as companion plants.  For example, tulips, crocuses, and daylilies can all bloom together. Add lamb’s ear, dogwood, and other plants to fill in your garden. You can also clear out a spot in your yard and use it to create a new garden. Once you have found a good spot, figure out how much growing space you have available. Take a tape measure and mark the planned boundaries of your garden. Each bulb variety needs a different amount of space to grow, so plotting out your garden helps make it look more cohesive once the bulbs bloom. Information on properly spacing...

Use cool water from your faucet, and fill your bucket about two thirds of the way full so your jacket can completely soak. You can also use a large plastic bin. When washing only 1 item of clothing, you only need a small amount of detergent. Be sure to read over the directions on your detergent packaging. Typically, you can use about 2 oz (56.7 g) of powdered detergent for your jacket. Pour this into the bucket or sink, and mix it around using a spoon. Mix up the detergent as best as you can to avoid any extra soap residue. Place your fleece jacket into the bucket or sink, and submerge it entirely in the water. Locate a soft scrub brush, and move it in small, circular movements on your jacket to lift up any dirt and debris. You can work in 2–4 in (5.1–10.2 cm) areas for best results. Scrub each side of your jacket for a thorough clean. Once you’re finished scrubbing your jacket, pull it out of the water and hold it underneath of cool running water. Rinse your jacket thoroughly to get rid of dirt and soap residue. Your jacket is rinsed completely when you no longer see soap bubbles dripping off. Pour the water mixture down your drain, and rinse out your bucket with clean cool water. Continue cleaning your bucket until all soap residue is gone. If you don’t clean your bucket or sink right away, the soap residue will stick on and be more difficult to remove down the line. Wring out any extra water, and place your jacket on a hanger. Then, hang it up in a dry place, like your bedroom or bathroom. Your jacket should dry in 1-2 hours.

TL;DR in English: Fill a bucket or your sink mostly full of cold water. Mix your powder detergent in cold water thoroughly. Soak your jacket in the soap concoction and scrub it with a brush. Rinse your fleece in cool water to remove dirt, debris, and soap. Empty your sink or bucket after you take out the jacket. Let your jacket air dry to avoid any fabric pilling.

If you leave your computer on all the time, you can often fix a problem by turning off the computer, then unplugging it (or remove the battery, if it is a laptop), then holding down the power button for 30 seconds while computer remains unplugged (this will often cause a light, or lights, to flash), then reinserting the battery, plugging the computer back in and powering it on.  By cutting off the power to the motherboard, it allows the hardware to reset and the memory to clear. You will need to take a look inside for this. Remember that any time you need to open up your computer cabinet, shut down your computer and unplug it. If you have long hair, tie it back. Take off any jewelry that might get in the way. Also avoid wearing any clothing that produces a lot of static, as a spark can damage hardware and cause intermittent, hard-to-troubleshoot problems. Many computers now come with built-in diagnostics which can tell you if you have certain issues. 4 brands of computers that normally have diagnostic options are HP/Compaq, Dell, Lenovo and Acer. To access these diagnostic options:  Power down the computer, wait a few seconds then turn it back on. HP - Immediately start pressing F2 on startup to access the diagnostic menu. Select Start Up Test, Quick, One Pass (if option is present) to begin the testing process. Dell - Immediately start pressing F12 on startup to access the diagnostic menu. Use the arrow keys to select Diagnostics from the menu. Lenovo -  press F10 during the boot sequence and this will launch the Lenovo diagnostics. Acer -  restart the computer and press the "F2" key during startup. Once the setup utility comes up, go to the diagnostic menu and run a test. Write down any error codes and consult the internet, the computer manufacturer or a local technician for assistance. If it’s hot, then there may be a heat related issue. For laptops, you generally do not want to try to open the case, but you can still vacuum the fan ports. Some computers just run hot, particularly laptops, but heat is...

Many couples meet in college or graduate school. It's a place where people have things in common, spend time near one another, and get a sense of one another as workers and friends. If you've already gone to school, or are unable to return, try taking extension classes in subjects that interest you: cooking, foreign languages, dance, or business. Not only is school an excellent place to meet a potential mate, but getting an education can increase the longevity of your future relationship. Couples with college education have lower divorce rates than their less-educated peers. Your mental and physical health influence who is willing to date you, and for how long. Get regular exercise and a full night's sleep each night. Eat regular meals, healthy snacks, and avoid soda and refined sugar. Visit the doctor regularly. Take particular care of your mental health. If you are too shy, depressed, anxious, or insecure to date, visit a therapist. To attract a partner, look your best. Be clean. Shower often, but use shampoo no more than three times a week. Brush your teeth and floss after eating, so that your breath is fresh and your teeth look healthy.  Dress to suit yourself. Fashion choices are going to vary widely depending on your tastes, but in general, wear clothing that fits your body, is clean, and is not very worn out.  Wear the colors that flatter you, or wear black and neutrals if you can't figure out what your colors are. You won't find someone who loves you if you are unloving of yourself.

Your doctor may recommend that you wear a sling to help keep your arm immobile for a time. You may need to wear the sling for a couple of weeks until the sprain heals. A sling will immobilize your elbow at a right-angle and hold it next to your body. If you have a more serious sprain, your doctor may recommend a cast or splint instead of a sling. These solutions will keep the elbow even more immobile than a sling, and you may need to wear 1 of them for up to 3 weeks. If you're an athlete, you may decide to keep using your elbow, even against doctor's wishes. If you do, you can stabilize your elbow using medical/athletic tape to help prevent overextension again. Have your doctor show you the best way to tape your arm to keep it immobile.

This is a great way to increase how frequently you get to talk to her. You can text, message, and interact on social media. Once you have her number, it’s time to send that first message or friend request!  Texting is a great way to bond and get to know each other better, and it can also let you show more of your personality and humor if you tend to be shyer in person. When asking for her number, say something like, “I’d love to send you that video we were talking about. Can I get your number?” or “I wanted to ask you about that project you were working on and realized I don’t have your number. Can I get it from you?” Her friends may be the best starting point to you moving beyond the friendzone with this girl. If they like you and see that you’re a standup person, they’ll be more likely to encourage her to give you a chance. Learn their names, listen to their stories, and treat them all with respect. Avoid flirting with any of them, as that could make you look like you’re interested in them. Make eye contact, laugh at her jokes, touch her arm lightly, and tease her a little bit. Make sure to keep things light-hearted and fun.  Pay attention to how she responds to your flirting. If she blushes or responds to you similarly, she is most likely into it. If she doesn’t respond or keeps glancing around, she may be feeling uncomfortable. When you make eye contact, try smiling at the same time and holding her gaze for a little longer than usual. Keep your comments brief and sincere. You could say something simple, like, “I thought you did a really good job on your presentation in class today,” or, “You have really great taste in music.” If you want to keep the conversation going after you give a compliment, follow it up with a question. For example, you could say something like, “You looked like a natural when you were giving that speech. Was that easy for you or were you nervous inside?” Try standing close to her so that your shoulders touch, lightly touch her arm when you make a joke, or pass her something so that...

TL;DR in English: Share your contact information so that you can text and message her. Get to know her friends so that they can put in a good word for you. Start flirting with her to show that you’re interested in her. Give compliments about her accomplishments, personality, and looks. Break through the “touch barrier” to see how she responds. Have a direct conversation with her to share your feelings. Accept her answer and respond kindly, no matter what she says.

Rest days are important for muscle recovery.   Without recovery days, your musculoskeletal system, nervous system, and immune system will become compromised because of the stress that weightlifting puts on your body. This puts you are greater risk for injury, illness, muscle weakness, and mood changes. Working out without recovery puts your body into stress and it releases certain hormones, such as cortisol. These can have negative effects on your body With recovery, your body compensates and repairs from the stress of weight training. On your rest day, drink plenty of water and eat healthy meals. If you must workout, do a simple cardiovascular workout and toning exercises without weights. Proteins are essential for muscle building. They will provide you with lasting energy and stamina needed for muscle building exercises as well as help to keep your muscles strong.   You will 1.2-1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. This ratio is said to promote muscle and bone health. Nutritional studies have shown that you should get at least 15% of your diet from protein. There are both animal and plant based sources of protein. Go for lean sources of protein such as seafood, poultry with no skin, lean beef and pork cuts. Other lean sources of protein are skim milk and low fat cheeses. Plant based sources of protein are soy and nuts. It is not just how much protein you eat but when that will help you to build muscle.    Have a protein rich food 20 minutes before each workout. Have another protein rich food just after a workout as well. For example, drinking 8 ounces of skim milk and having a yogurt afterwards is a good way to get protein in before and after. Current research suggests that protein is more viable as a nutrition source if it is split up into small quantities throughout the day. Women should opt for 80 grams of protein split up over 4 meals. Men should try to get at least 100 grams of protein a day, split up over 4 meals. While lower in protein, these foods still have essential vitamins and...

TL;DR in English: Include a rest day into your exercise regimen. Eat protein rich foods. Plan your protein intake at specific times. Don't skimp on fruits and vegetables. Don't cut out carbohydrates entirely.

A push broom is the best option since it allows you to shove the debris toward one edge of the pool without scratching up the cover. Try using a pool brush if you have one. You could also use some other tools to eliminate stubborn debris, such as a leaf blower for a relatively dry cover. Use the leaf blower to force debris to the side where you can sweep it up. If your pool cover has more than 1 in (2.5 cm) of water on it, scoop up debris with a pool rake. A pool rake isn’t actually a rake. It’s a scooping net meant for collecting leaves and other debris. A cover pump is similar to a regular pool pump, but it sits on top of the cover to clear it of water. Place it where the water is deepest, usually in the center of the cover. You can use a push broom to get it into position. Activate it to let it drain the water. The pump plugs into an electrical outlet like any other pumps your pool uses. Attach a garden hose to the other opening on the pump so it can siphon water back to an area of safe drainage, such as a nearby bucket. Pool covers tend to be big and difficult to lift on your own, so ask for help if it’s available. Have each person stand near one of the pool’s edges so you can lift the cover. Keep it in the air so it doesn’t get dragged across any rough spots that could tear it. After finding a safe spot for it, spread it out on the ground.  Note that if you have a mesh cover, it has to be detached from its retaining springs through the installation tool that came with it. Then, use a 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) hex key to lower the holding anchors, preventing the cover from getting caught on them. While you have the cover spread out on the ground, inspect it for damage. Replace it if you notice any tears. At least you will save some time by not having to clean and store the old cover! If you move the cover onto your lawn, don’t keep it there for a long time. It can damage the grass. Sweep or spray away any debris still left on the cover. The amount of soap and water you need will vary depending on the cover’s size...

TL;DR in English:


Find a friend. Act fearless. Keep your sense of humor on display. Refrain from showing off.

.You’re probably not going to approach a girl if you believe she’s going to turn you down. And if you do approach her, your lack of confidence will show. Having confidence in yourself gives you the courage you need to approach beautiful girls, and girls find it attractive. Think about all your positive qualities. Take a moment to list at least 10 reasons a beautiful girl would want to go out with you. For example, think about how you can make her laugh, your great smile, how dependable you are, and your sense of adventure. You never know when a beautiful girl is going to cross your path, so try to always look as good as possible. You don’t have to change your style or buy a new wardrobe or even dress up, but you do want to make sure you practice good hygiene and present yourself well.  Make sure your hair is combed, breath fresh, face clean. Sometimes you might not look your best (maybe you just came from playing soccer) but you can still present yourself well by your attitude. Practicing how you will approach a beautiful girl makes it easier to do once the time presents itself.  Think about what you will say and how you will say it. Rehearse the exchange in your mind and out-loud until you are comfortable.  Practice in the mirror or with a close friend. Video tape yourself to hear your voice tone and pace. Try different variations of what you want to say. For example, you might practice, “Can I contact you sometime?”; “Is it okay if I contact you?”; “How can I contact you?”; “Is it alright if I contact you?” and figure out which one feels most comfortable for you to say.

TL;DR in English: Believe in yourself Always look your best. Rehearse.

Just because she flirts with your boyfriend does not mean she’s trying to steal him. She might flirt with him to build up her own self-esteem or because she wants to be friends with him. Does she flirt with everyone, or just with your boyfriend specifically? If she generally comes off as flirty, it’s doubtful that your boyfriend is a special case. If she makes special effort to flirt with your boyfriend, she might have a crush on him.Here are some flirty behaviors to watch for:  She puts her hand on his arm or touches him frequently. She makes eye contact with him.  She laughs at all of his jokes. She moves her body so that she faces him.  She initiates conversation with him. If the girl wants to be alone with your boyfriend, it demonstrates that her flirting is not just for social power and self-esteem. Make note of when they spend time alone together.  Look out for the following things:  She invites him for outings where it will be just the two of them, such as the movies or lunch at a coffee shop. She asks him to do her favors (such as change a lightbulb) where he would go somewhere alone with her. She asks him to go on walks with her. When he says he’s going to do something, such as get a glass of water in the next room, she invites herself and goes with him. Is your boyfriend secretive about his texts with her? Does she call or text him more than you would with a platonic friend? Although this communication does not mean that she wants to be more than friends, it can be a red flag.  If you see your boyfriend texting someone frequently, ask him who it is. If he is dodgy or defensive about it, it might be her. Going through your boyfriend’s texts might be an invasion of privacy. If he seems as though he is lying, have a conversation with him about trust.

TL;DR in English: Notice how she flirts. See if she wants to be alone with him. See if she texts or calls him frequently.

You’ll use 1 pillowcase to cover the back of the chair and another pillowcase to cover the cushion. Measure the chair back and cushion before choosing pillowcases to ensure you get the right size—a standard pillowcase is 20 by 26 inches (51 by 66 cm).  Choose a print or color that matches your table and existing dining room decor. Opt for an easy-to-clean fabric, like a cotton-polyester blend, if you have children or expect spills or messes. Feel free to wash and iron the pillowcases before using them. Turn the chair over and use a drill or screwdriver to remove the fasteners that hold the seat cushion to the chair. Be sure to keep the fasteners in a safe place as you will need them later. Refer to the measurements you took for the cushion, then use fabric scissors to cut the pillowcase to size. Be sure to add at least 4 square inches (26 cm2) to the measurements so you can wrap the fabric around the back of the seat. If you want to add extra foam or padding to the cushion, make the pillowcase cover larger to account for the foam. Lay the fabric so the print or “right” side is face down on your work surface. Add any extra padding or foam now, if desired. Center the cushion in the middle of the fabric (on top of the padding). Pull the fabric tight to the back of the seat on 1 side, making sure to keep it centered. Use a staple gun to secure the fabric every 2 inches (5.1 cm) or so. Repeat on the opposite side of the seat. Then, fold one of the other sides like you would a package (i.e. tuck the corners in) and staple it to the back of the seat. Repeat with the remaining side.  Put your first staple in the middle of each side and work out toward the edges. Be sure to keep the fabric taut! Use fabric scissors to trim any excess fabric away. Flip the chair over so the bottom is visible and use the fasteners you set aside to reattach the seat to the chair using a drill or screwdriver. Ensure the seat is on firmly so it won’t shift when you sit down. Then, turn the chair right-side-up. This part is super simple!...

TL;DR in English: Select 2 pillowcases per chair. Remove the seat cushion from the chair. Cut a pillowcase 4 square inches (26 cm2) larger than the cushion. Place the seat cushion on top of the fabric. Staple the fabric to the back of the seat. Fasten the seat to the chair. Slip a pillowcase over the back of the chair. Repeat for each remaining chair.

A fun-loving party girl will be discriminating about which parties she chooses to go to. Choose ones you know will be packed. A near-empty house party is no fun. Try to hit up the popular clubs in your city on a regular basis. Squads, posses, or "girl gangs" are all the rage right now. While you and your friends may not be celebrities, you can always form a hip group of your own. Going out with a large group of other girls makes socializing much easier. When you're with a bunch of friends, you'll always have someone to talk to. Are you self-conscious about getting on the dance floor? Just ask some of your girlfriends to join you! If you're going to a party, don't arrive when the invitation says it starts. Ten to twenty minutes later than that is the minimum for looking cool, but holding off for an hour or more may be more appropriate. Regardless, you don't want to be one of the only people there.  Peak hours for nightclubs are usually around 11 pm or midnight until closing. This is the window you'll want to arrive during if you want to have a wild time. If you have trouble getting into trendy clubs at peak hours, showing up early may be for the best. That way, when the place fills up you'll already be there and ready to have fun. all night. If you can't dance, watch the others and copy them. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. Just let the music move you and keep your movements minimal until you feel more confident. If you're already a great dancer, weave lots of dancing into your party nights out. Dancing is liberating, energizing and a good excuse to work around the floor and connect with many people. Dance with your friends or anyone on the floor you'd like to dance with. Most party girls are known for their heavy drinking, but this doesn't mean you have to follow suit. If you're drinking, drink just enough to have fun and be a little more outgoing. Don't drink so much that your speech slurs or you have problems staying upright in your heels. Remember this: Vomiting and talking to the wall are neither...

TL;DR in English: Find the right party. Have a squad. Arrive fashionably late. Dance Know how to hold your booze.

If nothing else, having a buddy in class can make it more enjoyable. Obviously, if friends of yours from other classes share the same gym class or period as you, hang with them. If not, reach out to others. You could try:  Complimenting people when they score or pull off an impressive feat. Telling someone they must be tough as nails when they recover from a spill. Making a sarcastic joke about the joys and wonders of phys ed to others who look less than pleased to be there. Dive right in and play to the best of your ability. Don’t act afraid of the ball or other players. Impress them with your self-confidence, even when you’re not particularly good at whatever you’re playing. Of course, you don’t want to be seriously injured, but don’t be afraid of scrapes and bruises. Recovering from a spill and walking it off without a complaint can be just as impressive to other students as hitting a homerun. That spill you took might really hurt, or that ball you missed should have been an easy catch. Whatever the goof was, just laugh it off. After all, it’s only gym class, not the World Series, so don’t take things too seriously. Show anyone who might be tempted to make fun of you that you are perfectly cool with laughing at yourself. Sure, some students might get really competitive over a baseball game in phys ed. Just keep your cool and shrug it off if a teammate gets upset with you for ruining a play. Keep in mind that everyone else probably thinks that this kid looks way more foolish for getting all worked up over a pointless game in gym class. If you happen to be really, really good at sports in general or one in particular, save the superstar plays for the school team or league sports. Although this may seem like a great chance to impress people, keep in mind that others aren’t as skilled as you. Do your best, but remember good sportsmanship and don't rub it in your classmates' faces.  Remember: this isn’t a tryout, so you're not competing with your fellow students for a spot on the team.

Dab a little tea tree oil on the affected area. Try honey on your whiteheads. Apply heat only as a last resort. Stay away from lemon juice, vinegar, and other kitchen acids. Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. Alter your diet if you notice certain foods cause acne flareups.

It’s important that you send a clear message that you don’t want to be with her.  You don’t need to explain yourself.  If she’s obsessed with you, she won’t be thinking rationally.  She’ll twist any explanation that you give her into evidence that you still care.  Simply let her know that you’re through being with her.  Don’t send mixed signals either.  If you say things like “I’ll always love you,” while you’re asking her to leave you alone, you’re fueling her obsession.  Say something like “We’re not together anymore.  I would like you to move on with your life and to give me the freedom to do the same.” Make your point and go.  The longer that you stay, the more time she’ll have to try and convince you to change your mind. She may feel distraught and even cry.  Resist the urge to try and console her.  If she sees that she can get your attention by crying, she’ll do it all the time. Reassure her that she deserves a relationship with someone who really cares about her. Encourage her to find a partner who can meet her needs better than you can An obsessed ex will try anything to get your attention.  She may call you at all hours of the night, visit your house out of the blue or even send you inappropriate photos, she may even try to use the "no contact rule" against you which makes you more vulnerable to giving in. Make a list of the behaviors that you are unwilling to accept.  Whenever she does one of the things on your list, absolutely refuse to give her your attention.  Be sure to tell her that you won’t give in.  For example:  If you think it’s not okay for her to show up at your home, and she does, tell her “We’re not together anymore, and I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to come here.  If you do so again, I will not answer my door, and if you keep doing so, I’ll be forced to alert the authorities.” Never break your own rules.  If you’re not consistent, then she’ll continue to do the things that bother you. Your ex may try to use your feelings against you.  She may try to make you feel sorry for...

Real Jordans come packaged in a sturdy box. The lid should fit tightly, with no gaps. There will be an Air Jordan “Jumpman” logo on the lid and also on the side of the box. The printed colors on the packaging should appear even and uniform, with no areas of fading. The texture of the box itself will be consistent. The boxes vary in color and style depending on the year and type of Jordans, so you may want to run a Google image search to see what the current boxes look like. Make sure all of the words on the box are spelled correctly. Ensure that the Jordan Jumpman logo appears complete, without any unusual looking proportions or fading. Everything on the box should be aligned properly, with nothing looking unusual or crooked. If you are unfamiliar with the Jumpman logo, Google the image and make sure the logo on the box looks exactly the same. All Air Jordan boxes will have an official manufacturing sticker on the side. Check for the accurate style name of the shoe, the shoe size, color combination, and country of manufacture. The text should look uniform and the words will be evenly spaced out and properly spelled.  The sticker should be firmly attached to the box, with no air bubbles underneath. It ought to look complete and easy to read. Fake Jordans will often feature a misshapen or crooked manufacturing sticker. If it is sloppily placed or hard to read, this is a red flag. All Jordans have a style number listed on the outside sticker. In almost all cases, it will be nine digits long. Check the Nike website for the style number of the shoes you’re interested in purchasing and make sure the style number on the actual box matches what you see on their website. The style number is usually listed right below the country of manufacture on the sticker.

TL;DR in English: Examine the quality of the box. Check for spelling errors and logo imperfections. Look for a manufacturing sticker on the outside of the box. Confirm the nine digit style number on the manufacturing sticker.

Many colleges offer jobs to students, including jobs at the student bookstore and cafeteria, tutoring jobs, and office work. Visit your school's website, and go to the careers section.  There should be a section for student employment. Here are some other types of jobs you might find at your college:  Working as a food server in the dining hall. Helping out with building and campus maintenance. Working as a receptionist in a residence hall or office, or a tour guide in the admissions office. Helping with research or working as a lab assistant. You can keep packaged snacks, such as chips, granola bars, bottled water, and soda inside your locker. The next time someone mentions that they forgot to pack a snack and how hungry they are, offer to sell them a snack out of your locker. Word will get around, and you may soon find classmates waiting outside your locker for snacks. Try to keep your prices lower than the cafeteria, but don't keep them too low or you won't be making any money.  Consider buying the food when it is on sale, or in bulk; the prices will be cheaper and you will make some profit. Try to sell stuff that your classmates won't be able to buy in the cafeteria. Keep in mind, however, that this might get you in trouble with the school. This will allow you to set your own hours, location, and wage.  Print off a few fliers and post them around your school. If your school has a message board, be sure to post a flier there as well. You can also print and sell class notes and study material, but make sure that the notes are very good and clear. By getting good grades, you may be able to get some money from your school. Some scholarships and grants can only be applied towards tuition, but some will arrive to you in the form of a check; you can do whatever you want with that money. Not all internships are paid, but they will give you valuable experience that you can use when applying for jobs after graduating from college. Most internships will also count towards school credit and can be used in the place...

TL;DR in English: Try applying for a job at your college. Sell non-perishable food to other students. Offer private, peer tutoring. Try to get a scholarship or grant. Consider getting an internship.

Tea tree oil is a natural essential oil that may be effective for combating whiteheads and acne. To use the oil, dilute it to about 5% in a carrier oil (any vegetable oil), then apply directly onto the whiteheads using a q-tip.  Use tea tree oil with caution and always do a patch test first, as it can cause irritation or an allergic reaction. Don't let the word "oil" put you off -- tea tree oil will not clog your pores like other oils. Honey is known to have antimicrobial properties that may effectively treat whiteheads and acne. Dab a little honey directly onto whiteheads or you can apply it all over as a face mask. Many people consider manuka honey or raw honey the most effective options, although this is not guaranteed. Many people hold their face over steam or apply a hot compress to open up pores, allowing trapped materials to escape. This can help in some mild cases. However, heat can irritate sensitive skin, which can make the acne worse. Gentle, lukewarm showers and facial washes are usually more effective. Acidic foods are not intended for use on skin. They can cause stinging, peeling, or even serious damage if left on for too long. Lemon juice and other citrus ingredients are extra dangerous, as they can react with sunlight to cause severe rashes. Dehydrated skin may produce excess oil to make up for the lack of moisture, and this may lead to worse acne. If your skin feels dry or your lips are cracked, you may be dehydrated. Water is a great place to start, but milk, tea, juices, and soups all count toward your daily fluid intake. In general, follow these guidelines:  Men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids daily. Women should drink about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids daily. Despite popular belief, there's no evidence that greasy food causes acne in most people, though there is a strong correlation between the two. If you notice a possible connection between a particular food and acne, it won't hurt to avoid it. Just remember, there is no universal "acne diet," and an extreme...

One of the best ways to improve your English listening comprehension is to download English-language podcasts or radio apps on your phone or MP3 player.  You should then make an effort to listen to the podcasts or radio shows for at least 30 minutes per day. Do it in the gym, on your commute to work, or while you're sitting at your computer. Make an effort to understand what's being said, don't just let the English wash over you. Even if you find it too fast, try to pick out key words and phrases to get a general idea of what the conversation is about. If you can, make a note of any words or phrases that you don't understand and look up the translation afterwards. Then listen to the podcast or show again to hear the new words or phrases in context. Another fun way to improve your listening comprehension is to watch English movies and TV shows.  Try to pick movies or TV shows that you will enjoy -- this will make the exercise feel like less of a chore. If possible, choose movies or shows that you are already familiar with, such as children's cartoons or blockbuster films. If you already know the basic story you will find the language much easier to pick up on. However, you should avoid watching movies or television shows with subtitles in your native language -- they will only distract you and make you less inclined to focus on understanding the English, which is the whole point of the exercise. Reading is an essential part of learning a new language, so don't forget to practice!  Find something you are really interested in -- whether that's a famous English novel, The New York Times or a fashion magazine and start working your way through it. If you find the content boring, you will be less inclined to persevere with it. Again, make an active effort to actually understand what you're reading, don't just skim over it. Highlight any words or phrases that you don't understand, then look them up in the dictionary. If you're alone, you could also try reading aloud -- this will allow you to improve your reading...

TL;DR in English: Listen to English radio or podcasts. Watch English movies and TV shows. Read an English book, newspaper or magazine. Keep a diary in English. Find an English-speaking pen-pal.

Towns and cities have different governing structure, so if you’re working on changing a local law, figure out how yours works. Most have a mayor and some kind of city council. Some also have other positions within the city government, including city managers and commissioners. Some states allow you to file local or state referendums as a citizen, but most states do not. If you are in a state that does not, you need to get the city council or mayor to support your idea and bring it to a vote. Check to see you your state is one of them. In these states, you can file your intention to have your law on the ballot, then gather signatures, and finally file the petition with the signatures with the law. Then it will be put on the ballot. In most states, it’s not quite this easy. This is a way for you to bring up your issue to local lawmakers. Check your city to see when there are meetings for constituents to bring up issues. You usually have a limited time to speak, so be prepared and be professional. You might have to go to many meetings before people begin to take you seriously, but this is an important step. Look at their websites. See what kinds of laws they have promoted in the past, and if yours might fit in. If you are going to change a local law, you need support from someone in the city government. If you don’t want to approach the mayor directly, choose the council member from your district or one you think will be sympathetic to your cause. Tell them about your pattern of attending community meetings. Lay out your ideas for a law change. Bring copies of your proposed changes to share with the lawmaker. Ask their opinion on the feasibility of your goals. Listen to their suggestions. If they say that they need a petition with signatures from citizens showing support for your idea (probably at least 500 signatures), that’s your next step. Or they might like it just as it is and say that they will take it to the rest of the council. Once you have presented the law and anything else they have asked for (like a...

TL;DR in English: Learn how city government works. File an initiative or referendum if you’re in a state where citizens can. Go to community meetings if you can’t file a referendum. Research the mayor and council members. Meet with your chosen lawmaker. Wait for the lawmakers to take action. Keep in mind that changing a law can take a long time. Try again.

In some cases, you may have a list of numbers with a missing term in the middle. Begin, as before, by checking that your list is an arithmetic sequence. Select any two consecutive terms and find the difference between them. Then check this against two other consecutive terms in the list. If the differences are the same, you can presume that you are working with an arithmetic sequence and proceed. For example, suppose you have the list 0,4{\displaystyle 0,4},___,12,16,20{\displaystyle 12,16,20}…. Start by subtracting 4−0{\displaystyle 4-0} to find a difference of 4. Check this against two other consecutive terms, such as 16−12{\displaystyle 16-12}. The difference is again 4. You can proceed. This is similar to adding a term to the end of a sequence. Find the term that immediately precedes the space in your sequence. This is the “last” number that you know. Add your common difference to this term, to find the number that should fill in the space. In our working example, 0,4{\displaystyle 0,4},____,12,16,20{\displaystyle 12,16,20}…, the term preceding the space is 4, and our common difference for this list is also 4. So add 4+4{\displaystyle 4+4} to get 8, which should be the number in the blank space. To be sure that you have the correct answer, check from the other direction. An arithmetic sequence should be consistent going in either direction. If you move from left to right and add 4, then going in the opposite direction, from right to left, you would do the opposite and subtract 4. In the working example, 0,4{\displaystyle 0,4},___,12,16,20{\displaystyle 12,16,20}…, the term immediately following the space is 12. Subtract the common difference of 4 from this term to find 12−4=8{\displaystyle 12-4=8}. The result of 8 should fill in the blank space. The two results that you get, from adding up from the bottom or from subtracting down from the top should match. If they do, then you have found the value for the missing term. If they do not, then you need to check your work. You may not have a true arithmetic...

TL;DR in English: Verify that you are starting with an arithmetic sequence. Add the common difference to the term before the space. Subtract the common difference from the term following the space. Compare your results.

Sponges don’t last forever, and the longer you have them, the more bacteria they hold. Try to replace your kitchen sponge weekly if you use it every day, or biweekly if you use it less often. If your sponge starts to smell bad or becomes discolored, throw it away and replace it immediately. Instead of using a sponge, use other materials to clean up raw juices from meat. Opt for a dishcloth, washcloth, or paper towel to wipe down cutting boards and counters. Disinfectant wipes are also a good option for wiping down counters that need to be cleaned. Sponges have crevices that can harbor bacteria easily, but cloths and wipes are less absorbent.

Use heavy tackle. Adult muskellunge can grow in excess of 50 inches and 50 lbs (22.7 kg). Try heavy action rods from seven to nine feet long. Pair a muskie rod with a large bait-casting reel, preferably in a fast gear ratio, to allow “catching up” to fast-moving fish. Heavy action rods have the backbone to not only fight such a large fish, but also to cast the jumbo-sized lures used to target muskies. The higher a line’s “pound test” is, the stronger the line will be. In order to prevent line breaks and missed fish, use heavy, braided line with a pound test between 80 and 100. Because muskies have such sharp teeth, connect the main line to the lure with either a steel or heavy fluorocarbon leader. The variety of muskie lures available can be overwhelming. Muskies are notorious predators who eat nearly every other freshwater fish in their waters, other muskies, frogs, and even rodents. In general, don’t be intimidated by using baits that seem absurdly large. Muskies frequently prey on fish 25%-50% their length, so using 8-12” lures is well within reason. Keep in mind that these fish are cold-blooded, and so their activity level is determined heavily by the season and water temperatures.  In colder water, fish are more sluggish. Select small baits such as rattle traps and crank baits. In more ideal water temperatures, from the 60s to the low 70s in Fahrenheit (15.5°C to just above 21°C), fish are much more active. Use larger baits such as rubbers and swimbaits. In cold water, look for lazier, slow baits like glide baits, jerk baits and jib baits to draw more strikes. In warmer water, use fast-moving baits like bucktails, spinnerbaits and topwaters. When the water temperature is hot, the fish will be sluggish, so use deeper and slower baits. When water visibility is low, look for baits with rattles, large blades, or other mechanisms of creating noise and water movement. Aside from typical auditory organs, muskies also utilize the lateral line, which is a set of sensory organs that run down the length of many...

Your doctor will draw blood from you at their office once in the morning and then again in the late afternoon. They will schedule the first appointment at around 7-8 am and the second appointment at around 3-4 pm on the same day. This will ensure the test results are accurate, as your cortisol levels will fluctuate throughout the day. The doctor will draw blood from a vein in your arm. You may feel a slight sting when they draw the blood and the area may be a little sore afterward. In some cases, your doctor may suggest additional testing like a urine test and a saliva test to get a more accurate read of your cortisol levels. You will need to provide urine samples at timed periods over 24 hours.  Saliva and urine tests can help your doctor better determine if your elevated levels are caused by stress or even a medication that acts like cortisol in the body. Saliva tests are done at home late in the evening when cortisol levels are typically lowest. You will spit in a test tube, and deliver it to your doctor’s office. If your doctor requests a urine test, you will collect your urine in sterile containers over a 24-hour period. If your doctor suspects you have abnormal growths or tumors that are affecting your cortisol levels, they may run a computerized tomography (CT scan). They may also do a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan). You may need to book separate appointments with your doctor to get these scans done. The results of these scans, as well as your other tests, will be looked at by your doctor to determine your cortisol levels.

TL;DR in English: Allow your doctor to test your blood twice in one day. Get your urine or saliva tested, if requested by your doctor. Have a CT or MRI, if needed.

This diet allows for rapid weight loss without the complications of surgery.  This is not meant to be a lifestyle change, but a rapid way to get the unhealthy weight off as quickly as possible. The idea being that the risk of staying overweight (and added health complications that arise from extra weight) is WORSE than limiting your bites. Realize that the only source of energy in the body is glucose sugar, meaning no matter what you eat your body turns it in to this 'fuel' so whether it is 5 bites of ice cream or five bites of a protein bar your body will use both for fuel equally. The goal is to turn the body into a lean mean fat burning machine. .      After you’ve reset your 'hungerstat' you will find that you get full quicker on a limited amount of food. You can modify the diet to add more bites, start by counting how many bites you take at a normal meal, then throughout a whole day. slowly start limiting yourself per meal/day until you reach 5 bites per meal. Lewis recommends people aim for a  BMI of 18.5 . . The idea being that it is better to be right at a perfect weight for your body (even on the low side) than to risk being higher and suffering the complications of excess weight.

TL;DR in English: This diet follows the idea of the kind of diet that Weight loss surgery patients must follow- eating small amounts of food two to 3 times a day. This is not a starvation diet, but portion control. Dr.

You can buy cotton balls in just about any grocery store or pharmacy. They're available in large and small sizes. Buy small cotton balls for small scabs and large cotton balls for large scabs. If you have an eye dropper, use two to three drops. If not, place the cotton ball on the opening of the bottle. Turn the bottle upside down for a second to wet the cotton ball. Replace the cap to avoid spilling the oil. Do this after you've cleaned the affected area. Lightly touch the wet cotton ball to your scabs. To avoid breaking the crust of the scab, don't apply pressure. Allow the tea tree oil to dry on your face. Do this twice a day.

TL;DR in English: Purchase cotton balls. Apply tea tree oil to the cotton ball. Dab the oil on your scabs.

There are a variety of fields for nurses to practice, including pediatrics, adults, OB/GYN, geriatrics, community health, occupational health, rehabilitation, surgery, neonatal, intensive care, and emergency. You will likely have already started thinking about this during your RN educational training. Each RN program gives their nursing students clinical rotations through which they gain experience in these various areas of the hospital and community.  Nursing students may have a full semester in a particular clinical rotation, such as pediatrics, adult or community health. They will also experience several hours in an intensive care unit, emergency room and neonatal unit. Not all schools will give nurses rotations through a physical rehabilitation unit for patients following strokes or spinal cord injuries. Most schools will expect that nurses get experience with geriatric care while caring for adults. Once you know what field of nursing you'd like to work in, you can apply for jobs in that field. Even after completing the required education and certification, nurses should continue to read medical journals, be aware of the policies of the healthcare organization they work for, and take additional courses in medicine. Scientific and medical knowledge and technologies are constantly changing and evolving and so staying up-to-date is key to providing effective healthcare. The term advanced practice registered nurse is an umbrella term used for nurses who have achieved at least a master’s degree in nursing (MSN). The academic program to become an advanced practice nurse is one to two academic years, depending upon the specialty, school, and your previous work experience. There are four main advanced practice settings in which nurses can practice under this APRN umbrella:   Clinical Nurse Specialist. These nurses typically work in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes. They handle a wide variety of physical and mental health problems and may work within the fields of research, education and administration.  Nurse...

TL;DR in English:


Use a tried-and-true relaxation technique. Get to bed at a reasonable hour. Accept that you may have a restless night.

During an MRI, you will be enclosed in a tube-like machine for up to an hour. If you are claustrophobic, this experience can cause a great deal of anxiety, and you may need a sedative before the test if you are anxious. Talk to your doctor about your claustrophobia before the exam to see if he or she may be able to prescribe you a sedative for the procedure. Certain metallic implants may effect the MRI scans. Talk to your doctor about any metal implants you have prior to the exam.  Cochlear (ear) implants, clips used for brain aneurysms, metal coils placed within blood vessels, any kind of cardiac defibrillator or pacemaker generally means you cannot be placed in an MRI machine.  Some metallic implants pose a some risk to health and safety and the accuracy of the exam. However, depending on how long the devices have been in place before the exam it might be safe to undergo the exam with some of the following in place: artificial heart valves, implanted drug infusion ports, artificial limbs or metallic joint prosthetics, implanted nerve simulators, metal pins, screws, plates, stents, and surgical staples. Certain health concerns should be taken into consideration before you have an MRI. Talk to your doctor about safety if you have any of the following conditions:  Pregnancy History of kidney problems Allergy to iodine or gadolinium History of diabetes Before your MRI, you should take your medication as normal leading up to the exam unless otherwise instructed. You should strive to maintain as normal a schedule as possible leading up to the MRI exam. Reading up on what happens during an MRI exam can help ease the anxiety of the procedure. Learn what to expect in the days leading up to the exam.  An MRI is a large tube with holes on either end. You'll be placed on a moveable table that slides into the tube while a technologist monitors you from another room.  Magnetic fields and radio waves provide an internal reading of your body, used to detect things like brain tumors or brain cancer, chronic conditions, and...

TL;DR in English: Inform your physician if you are claustrophobic. Tell doctors about any metal implants you have. Alert your doctor to any health issues. Take medications as normal. Learn what to expect. Follow any specific guidelines your doctor went over with you.

Take a piece of clear plexiglass and an etching needle. Etch your design directly onto the glass, creating grooves in the plexiglass where the paint will be deposited. Once your image is complete, gather your paints, cotton balls, or felt. Use the cotton balls or felt to dip into your paint. Lightly press it against the image. You can press one color at a time, or apply multiple colors for a single pressing. Either way will give you slightly different results, so feel free to play around. Take a rag and carefully wipe across the plate, making sure excess ink from the surface of the plate is removed. You should only have ink in the grooves of your image. Use watercolor paper and soak the papers in water for several minutes. Remove them from the water, lay them on towels, and gently blot them dry. Soaking and blotting your papers will make the fibers swell. This makes it easier to transfer your etched painting onto the paper. You'll need to use a print-making press in order to exert enough pressure. Set the prepared paper on top of your inked plexiglass etching and cover with a towel. Using medium strength, press your image onto the paper. Carefully remove the towel and lift up on the the paper to release it from the plexiglass etching. Your image should have transferred. Make sure the paint is completely dry before framing or hanging your print. Sign and number it before printing more.

TL;DR in English: Create your desired image. Ink your plexiglass plate. Wipe excess ink off your plate. Prepare your paper. Position your plexiglass etching on your press. Run your print through the press. Let the image dry.

Regret, guilt, and fixation on the bad things that happened in your past can prevent you from moving forward in the present and into the future. You can no longer control the past, but you can prevent the past from controlling you.  Consider mistakes you made in the past that you don't want to repeat. Gather any practical lessons you can from those mistakes and let go of any theoretical fears surrounding those mistakes. For instance, a child may burn himself by touching a hot stove and thereby learn not to touch other hot stoves, but that experience does not need to prevent that child from touching and exploring other parts of his world. Past interactions with people can cause you to develop grudges against them, but grudges also drain you of your own energy and resources and ultimately hold you back. Your life is yours to live. Others may offer guidance and advice. Some of this can be helpful, and some of it can be hurtful. Regardless, you need to make decisions based on your own desires and ideas without worrying about what others expect of you.  Keep in mind that even the people closest to you have a limited understanding of who you are at the core. When you pursue a goal, some may criticize you if it does not fall in line with the things they view as important. For instance, your new passion may not make much money, so someone who values money as a high priority will likely view it as a waste of time. Remember that your values and others' values are not always the same, so running your life according to another's values will not bring satisfaction to your own life. Failing to make a choice is a choice in itself. Train yourself to be a more decisive person. If you cling to your indecisiveness, you will continue to doubt yourself at the most crucial moments. Right now. You have an indefinite number of “tomorrows” to deal with, and telling yourself that you will start doing something “tomorrow” can quickly become a habit. Stop putting things off and start doing them immediately. Think of it this way: you may...

TL;DR in English: Let go of past failures and pains. Don't surrender control to other people. Decide to let go of indecisiveness. Stop procrastinating now. Quit running away. Drop the excuses. Release the need for explanations. Realize and release your fears.

One of the factors in keeping your afro looking great, is making sure that that your hair is nice and moist. Fill a squirt bottle with half water and half pure aloe vera juice. Spritz this all over your hair, and use your fingers to massage it in. Aloe vera juice can be purchased at most health food stores, some beauty supply stores, and online. To further moisturize your hair and keep it looking good while you sleep, apply a leave-in conditioner product. Use a spray-in conditioner for convenience. Alternatively, you can use a cream conditioner. Simply work the conditioner around in your hands and then apply it to your hair, starting 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from your scalp. Massage the product down to your tips. If your hair is prone to breakage around the hairline, place several drops of argan oil onto your fingertips and move it around. Apply this oil to your hairline, in the front and back, to moisturize and avoid breakage. Be sure to purchase pure argan oil!

TL;DR in English: Spritz your hair with aloe vera juice. Use leave-in conditioner. Apply argan oil around your hairline.

You know what you like to do to help yourself relax or de-stress. Do something that you know helps calm you down before you get ready for bed.  Take a bath. Use special bath salts or bubble bath to pamper yourself. Make sure it is something that won’t irritate your skin. Consider using something with lavender to help you relax. Exercise. Consider some gentle, calming yoga poses or stretching. Or maybe you’d rather dance away your jitters. Don’t try anything new. You don’t want to inadvertently amp yourself up, or worse, injure yourself before the wedding!  Write in a journal. If you find writing in a journal relaxing and therapeutic, consider taking a few minutes to jot down your thoughts the night before the wedding. It may be an entry you end up treasuring a few years down the road.   Meditate. You can download some guided meditation apps onto your phone to help you relax, too. Drink an herbal tea, such as chamomile, to help you feel sleepy. You will have a full day ahead of you on your wedding day, no matter what time your ceremony starts. Go to bed at a reasonable hour to account for the amount of time it may take you to even get to sleep in the first place. The more sleep you can get the night before the wedding day, the more energy you'll have to make it through one of the biggest days of your life.  An adequate amount of sleep also helps regulate your emotions. Keep in mind that a good night’s sleep will help you stay calm and relaxed the next day as well!  Consider taking a sleep supplement, such as melatonin, to help you fall asleep. Only take something if you know how it works for you and you have taken it before. Do not try anything new, and do not take more than the recommended dose.  Double check your alarm clock. Designate someone to wake you up in case you oversleep. Your wedding may be one of the biggest, most exciting events of your life. It’s okay that you are excited about it! Don’t put too much pressure on yourself and get frustrated if you can’t calm down and sleep. You won’t ruin your...

TL;DR in English:


Choose fragrance-free products for sensitive skin. Wear clothes with natural fibers close to your skin. Maintain a cool temperature in your surroundings. Use a humidifier (that releases cool mist) during the day and at night. Apply cool, wet compresses to areas with severe irritation and itchiness. Soak the areas affected by eczema in a warm (never hot) anti-itch bath. Moisturize patches of eczema with non-irritating moisturizers. Keep your nails trimmed. Be aware of your "triggers. Manage your stress. Ensure that you get appropriate treatment.

What do you enjoy doing? Most people enjoy working on projects where they feel skilled in. What's yours?  If you are skilled in crafting, sewing or cooking you may decide to make and sell home décor, accessories,  jewelry or edible items. If you have an eye for bargains you may be interested in buying and re-selling antiques or other items. If you enjoy working with a network of business owners and socially interacting with your customers, you may consider becoming a consultant for an existing home-based direct sales company. To have the most possible success as a home entrepreneur, you want to make sure you're not just selling any old product. You want to make sure you're selling awesome products — products that are convenient, portable, and cheap to manufacture:  What makes a home product really good:  Convenience. Your product makes life easier for your customers Portability. It ships easily. That also usually means it's easier to manufacture. Cost. It doesn't take an arm and a leg to manufacture. Try to get your margins at or above 50%.    What makes a home product not so good:  Overly mechanical and liability-prone. If your product demands super high quality standards or puts you at a liability, stay away. No mechanical drills. Imported by big retailers. If the product you're trying to sell at home already is being sold at Walmart, don't expect much. Trademarks. Unless you want to spend all your profit fighting legal battles with huge corporations, stay away from items that are protected under trademark. Okay, so you've decided to sell miniature craft accessories — miniature chairs for doll collectors, perhaps. The next question you should consider is how good of a business proposition is this? You may be the best miniature craftsman (or -woman) that money can buy, but it won't mean very much if no one buys miniatures for dolls, or if the market for doll miniatures is already really competitive and margins are razor thin.  The size of the market is effectively how much money people are spending today on...

TL;DR in English: Brainstorm what type of products you have knowledge of and could succeed in selling from home. Know what makes really good products. Determine the size and competitiveness of the market. If you can, stock up on the product by buying wholesale.

Pick up your ball and find the point where the grooves in the ball meet at the bottom. You will want to spin the ball on the bottom middle of the ball where all of the grooves meet in a perpendicular point. If you spin the ball with the grooves in a horizontal position, your spin won't look as clean and your finger won't have a point to rest on. Some people prefer to use two hands to throw and guide the ball into the air before catching it with their finger. Others prefer to palm the basketball in one hand and use a quick flick of the wrist to prop the ball up to the fingertip. The two-handed method is easiest for beginners. Bend your elbow out and hold up the ball. You want your elbow to be at a comfortable height, usually a little bit higher than your hip. The ball should be about level with your face when you spin it. This is the same hand you'll use to spin the ball. Do not hold the ball entirely flat on your palm, as this causes the ball to slide around too easily. Instead grip it with your fingertips and allow for a small air pocket between your palm and the ball. You can use the pads of your fingers to keep the ball level on your finger. You should also use them to guide the ball and make sure it doesn't tilt to one side or fall over.

TL;DR in English: Find the grooves in the ball. Decide whether to use one or two hands. Hold the ball up with your elbow a little above your hip. Hold the ball in your dominant hand with your finger pads. Use your finger pads to guide the ball in the proper direction.

Either an audio or video demo can help potential clients remember you as a singer. It also gives you an opportunity to demonstrate your singing abilities outside of an audition. You should store these demos in a variety of formats, including MP3, CD, and online streaming. Locate different places in your area that might be interested in singers. This includes performance halls, theaters, wedding venues, and clubs. Contact the owner or their promoter to see if they would be willing to let you perform. Different types of singers will have luck at different venues.  If you want to sing at clubs, you should print out a list of all local bars, clubs, and pubs. Contact each individually to see if they are interested in hiring a singer. If you want to become a wedding singer, you can contact local wedding planners or houses of worship, such as churches. They might be willing to refer you to their clients as a wedding singer for their events. Knowing people who work in the music industry can help you find gigs. Contact local studios, agencies, and production houses via email or phone. Let them know of your services, and ask if they would be willing to listen to a demo of yours. Let them know what type of music you specialize in and why they should be interested in you. For example, you can write an email that says, “Dear Mr. Smith, My name is Laura K, and I am a jazz singer. For five years, I have been wowing audiences in numerous venues across the city, and I am looking to enhance my singing career. I know your studio specializes in upcoming jazz acts. The Daily Standard has called me 'the next big thing in jazz.' I am including a link to my demos if you are interested. Please let me know if you would be willing to meet some time to discuss a potential partnership. Thank you.” Check local listings frequently to see what singing jobs are appearing. Apply to every job you can to increase your chances of success. Different advertisements may require different qualifications, but in general, you will want to have a...

First, finely slice two chipotle peppers, if not already sliced, into thin strips. Place that in a small mixing bowl. Then add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, ½ teaspoon of dried oregano, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until they are evenly mixed.  For extra spice, be generous with the amount of adobo sauce you include from the chipotle peppers’ can. To reduce spice, pat the peppers with paper towels to remove as much sauce as possible. Put 4 chicken thighs or 3 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless) into a large sealable freezer bag. Then pour in the marinade. Seal the bag shut. Hold it by two corners and flip the bag over and over to soak the chicken. Then put the bag in the refrigerator and leave for one hour so the marinade soaks into the meat. Set your indoor or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (roughly 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 204 Celsius). Once it reaches the desired temperature, set your chicken on the grill. Cook each side for five to six minutes. The Food and Drug Administration advises cooking chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) before consuming. Use a meat thermometer to verify each piece is safe to eat. Once the chicken has cooked, remove it from heat. Let it sit for about ten minutes so it can be safely handled without burning yourself. Once it’s cool enough to touch, cut each piece into bite-sized portions.

TL;DR in English: Make your marinade. Marinate your chicken. Grill your chicken. Cool and chop your meat.

This includes products such as soap and laundry detergent, as well as things such as lotion.  Avoid bubble baths for children. Use non-drying, mild soaps such as Cetaphil, Dove, or Aveeno. Avoid any products that contain alcohol, as these can dry out skin. Avoid using things like fabric softeners or dryer sheets, as these usually have fragrances that can cause irritation. Fabrics such as cotton, silk, and bamboo are often less irritating on the skin than polyester.  Wool should be avoided, as it is known to irritate the skin. Wash new clothes before you wear them. This can help remove any agents left over from manufacturing that might irritate your skin. Heat and sweating can make the condition worse, so it is important to be aware of the temperature of your environment. Always rinse your skin off after sweating. In addition to the fluid loss that can cause dry skin, sweating also leaves salts on your skin that can cause irritation and flare-ups. Eczema is known to go hand-in-hand with dry skin, so adding moisture to the environment can help to diminish the severity of symptoms. Keep your humidifier clean. The humidity in a humidifier is a perfect place for mold, mildew, and bacteria to grow. Clean it regularly according to its instruction manual. This can help to reduce the sensation of itching. Soak bandages or light towels in cool water. Wring them out until they’re moist but not soaked. Wrap them around your skin in the affected areas. Over-the-counter anti-itch soaks containing oatmeal are available at your local pharmacy or drugstore. In general, do not bathe children with eczema more than 2-3 times per week, or you could actually make the condition worse.  Another option is to make a homemade anti-itch bath soak for eczema by adding baking soda and oatmeal to a bath. Soak for 10 minutes. You can also try a bleach bath, which will help reduce bacteria on the skin. Add ½ cup of household bleach to a bathtub full of warm water. Soak for about 10 minutes. Do not submerge your face or get the water in your...
