Ask your ex to talk with you. Use the past to your advantage. Prepare your words. Apologize

If you don't have any thick rubber bands laying around, go to the grocery store and buy a head of broccoli.   The rubber band that comes wrapped around it will work perfectly for your bankroll. You may need to turn the rubber band inside out if it has the logo of the grocery store on it. Wrap your thick rubber band around your folded money.  You may need to twist the rubber band around your bankroll a few times to make sure it's held together tightly.  You don't want any loose money to fall out when you take out your bankroll.  The rubber band should be positioned in the center of your bankroll. After you tie your bankroll together, you may need to fidget with your money to make it even again. When you go out, spend your bankroll lavishly.  When you pay for things, flash your bankroll and let everyone see you rummage through all your big bills.  Act like you have money to burn. Keep at least one $100 bill on the outside of your bankroll at all times. When you're not using your bankroll, keep it in your pocket.  You don't want to misplace it or have it stolen.  If you flash your bankroll on the street, it could even attract muggers and get you into trouble.  Carry a wallet along with your bankroll to pay for things when you're not trying to show off. Always know exactly where your bankroll is.

TL;DR in English: Find a thick rubber band. Tie your bankroll together. Show off. Be careful.

The solute is the substance that you’re mixing in to form your solution. If you’re given the mass of the solute in your problem, write it down and be sure to label it with the correct units. If you need to find the mass of the solute, then weigh it on a lab scale and record the measurement. If the solute you’re using is a liquid, then you can also calculate the mass using the density formula, where density D = m/V, where m is the mass of the liquid and V is the volume. To find the mass, multiply the density of the liquid by the volume. The total volume of the solution is the amount of solvent plus the amount of solute added to it. If you’re finding the volume in a lab, mix the solution in a graduated cylinder or beaker and look at the measurement. Measure the volume from the curve at the top of the solution, or the meniscus, to get the most accurate reading. Record the volume of the solution.  If you aren’t measuring the volume yourself, you may need to convert the mass of the solute into volume using the density formula. For example, if you’re finding the concentration of 3.45 grams of salt in 2 liters of water, you would find the volume of salt using the density formula. Look up the density of salt either in a textbook or online and solve the formula for m. In this case, the density of salt is 2.16 g/mL. The formula would read 2.16 g/mL = (3.45 g)/V. Multiply each side by V to get V(2.16 g/mL) = 3.45 g. Then divide the each side by 2.16 to find the volume, or V = (3.45 g)/(2.16 g/mL) = 1.60 mL. Add the volume of the solute to the volume of your solvent, ma. So in this example, 2 L + 1.6 mL = 2,000 mL + 1.6 mL = 2,001.6 mL. You can either leave the measurement in milliliters or convert it back to liters to get 2.002 L. Write out the equation C = m/V, where m is the mass of the solute and V is the total volume of the solution. Plug in the values you found for the mass and volume, and divide them to find the concentration of your solution. Don’t forget to label to label your answer with the correct units.  In...

TL;DR in English: Find the mass of the solute mixed in with the solvent. Record the total volume of the solution. Divide the mass of the solute by the total volume of the solution.

. Think about your current family relationships. Identify the ones that are toxic, and distinguish them from the ones that are simply difficult. You may want to work with a mental health professional if you feel comfortable with this. A mental health professional can help you to identify toxic relationships.  Abuse, constant negativity, and manipulation are several indications that a relationship is toxic. The line between a difficult relationship and a toxic one can be blurry. Trust your own judgment and keep in mind that some people may try to minimize what you are experiencing. However, if you know someone is abusive, then do not accept other people's excuses for them. Think about whether you can find ways to deal with dysfunctional family dramas without cutting relatives out of your life. Consider skipping certain family gatherings, standing up to bullies, or ignoring conflicts instead of arguing with your relatives.  Finding a simple solution may not always be possible. However, de-escalating negative situations is often less stressful than cutting ties completely. Look into ALANON, which is a group that started as a way to help and support the family members of people with substance abuse. However, this organization has expanded to help people in all sorts of situations. Before you detach yourself from a relative, think about how the action may affect the rest of your life, including your other family relationships. Make sure you're prepared to deal with the potential negative consequences of cutting ties.  For example, you might choose to cut ties with one sibling who has toxic tendencies and your others sibling may see this as an affront. As a result, you lose two siblings. You will have to weigh the costs of whether the toxic person is worth keeping around to preserve other relationships. Try making a pros and cons list to help you determine if severing the relationship is worth the benefits and costs. Keep it somewhere that you can read over it often. You may also want to ask a friend or family...

TL;DR in English: Identify toxic relationships Brainstorm solutions. Think carefully about the costs of severing a relationship. Come to terms with the consequences of not cutting ties.

After you have taken time together as friends, it is time to have an honest talk about your history together and whether or not there might be a romantic future. Although texting and talking over the computer is a common way to communicate in an established relationship, intimate discussions like this should be held in person. Invite your ex over for dinner or head out to your favorite coffee shop. If your ex really liked a certain outfit of yours, wear it again. Share a light-hearted memory you had together. Meet at a familiar place you used to hang out together. If he or she purchased any special jewelry for you, consider wearing it when you meet to talk. This will send a pretty clear message that you still have feelings for him or her. The first thing that you say to your ex is extremely important. If you say the wrong words, you will lose the chance to get them back. You need to understand that even though you're not together, there is a good chance they still harbor strong feelings for you.  There are many ways you can approach this conversation, but one safe way is to say something like, "I've been wanting to talk to you about our relationship and see how you have been." Express regret things didn't work out between you and ask if you can talk about it now that you have some perspective. Let the conversation naturally progress. If your ex is doing great and reports that he or she is seeing other people, you might decide not to waste your time trying to convince him or her to get back together. But if your ex seems to harbor feelings for you, you can gradually bring up the possibility of giving things another try. . Think deeply about anything you did or didn't do that somehow contributed to the downfall of the relationship, and clean the slate by giving your ex a proper apology. Take full responsibility for the offense, without blaming your ex, giving excuses, or expecting an apology (or even forgiveness) in return. It may very well be that your ex contributed to the situation, but you cannot apologize...

TL;DR in English:


Check your car's manual to see if you can turn the key off. Place a steering wheel lock on your wheel to deter thieves. Install a secondary car alarm in your car for extra protection. Use a GPS tracking device to track the location of your car in case it does get stolen. Install CCTV if you don't have a garage. Update your car's software if you have a smart dashboard.

If you don't have a lot of stuff to move or have a vehicle with a lot of storage, consider moving your things in your own vehicle. Evaluate how many things you have to move and determine how many trips it would take in your car or truck. You can eliminate having to transport your belongings yourself with a portable storage container. These services drop off a container in front of your current address that you can fill up with your belongings. They will then transport everything that to your new address, where you can unpack it yourself. This saves money on having to transport your belongings. Some bus and train services also transport goods from place to place. Companies like Amtrak and Greyhound have services that transport belongings on their buses and trains. Call their customer service number or look on their website and find out their shipping locations. If one is near your new apartment or house, you can use them to ship your belongings. One drawback is that you may have to go to the bus or train station to pick up your belongings. Friends and family may help you move, and you won't have to pay them anything. Call up your contacts and ask them if they would be willing to help you move. You can also post something on social media and see who responds. You can thank your friends or family for their help by taking them out to eat or getting them a gift.

TL;DR in English: Consider using your own vehicle instead of renting a moving truck. Purchase a portable storage container to move your belongings. Ship your belongings on a bus or a train. Get your friends or family to help you move for free.

A piece of pork shoulder should be at roughly room temperature before cooking. If refrigerated, let the pork sit for roughly half an hour prior to cooking. If frozen, you may need to let the pork defrost overnight. While waiting for your pork shoulder to warm, it's a good idea to let the oven warm up (especially if yours is slow to heat). If your pork is frozen and defrosting, you may need to wait until the end of the defrosting process to turn on your oven. Use a cooking rack to ensure the pork does not sit in its own juices as it cooks. An oven-safe pan can collect the pork's juices as they drain during cooking - you can dispose of these after cooking or use them for gravy, etc. Place the pork on the rack fat side up. As the pork cooks, the fat will render and liquefy, running down the pork. Essentially, this allows the pork to baste itself. Use a sharp knife to cut a criss-cross pattern of slices into the top of your pork shoulder. This serves multiple purposes, allowing the pork's juices to spill out and baste the meat during cooking and allowing your seasonings to penetrate deeper into the meat. Be very generous with your seasonings - much of the roast pork shoulder's flavor comes from its delicious outer crust, the flavor of which is determined by the seasonings you choose. There are a very wide variety of rubs and seasonings suitable for pork shoulders. Some can be store-bought, while others can be recreated at home.  When in doubt, a simple rub of salt, pepper, garlic, and a few basic spices of your choosing (especially thyme and coriander) works great. If you can't get the seasoning to "stick", try rubbing the pork shoulder with a light coating of olive oil first. To marinate your pork, you'll want to submerge the pork in a solution that usually contains oil, one or more acidic ingredients, and the seasonings of your choice. The acidic ingredients "cut" the oil in the marinade, providing flavor and keeping the finished product from becoming too greasy. Let the pork sit in the marinade for at least 4...

TL;DR in English: Let the pork shoulder sit. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Set the pork on a rack in a roasting pan. Score the pork. Coat the pork with your favorite seasonings, marinade or rub. Roast the pork shoulder for approximately 1 hour per pound. Let the pork rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.

Rabbits live in all kinds of habitats, and can flourish and nest in a  variety of environments. To learn where best to find rabbits in the area you're hunting, talk to some local hunters to get a sense of heavy-traffic areas that would be safe hunting zones. In general, you'll often find rabbits bedded in or around the following areas:  Tall grass Clover Broadleaf fields Soy, wheat, and alfalfa Gardens Wherever you elect to hunt, you need to make sure that you've got permission to hunt and you don't accidentally wander on private property. Wandering around on someone's property toting guns is a good way to get into an awkward altercation, meaning that you should take special care to avoid these entanglements. Have property owners walk you around so you know your borders, or get a detailed map of the area to make sure you don't accidentally wander off property. Hunting in state parks and nature reserves also requires lots of extra precaution. Trigger-happy hunters should avoid high-traffic areas. Wild rabbits are most active early in the morning and just as the sun is setting. Like many animals, rabbits feed in minimal light, as the sun is going up or coming down, meaning that they'll be most active at those times. The soft light can sometimes make it challenging to find rabbits, but you can learn to train your eye in the right direction to find rabbits in their habitats. The most common way of hunting rabbits is to walk around slowly and allow the noise of your tromping through the woods to scare them up. Unlike hunting deer, which requires absolute silence, you want rabbits to be able to hear you. You need to be quiet enough to listen for movement, but don't worry about absolute silence.  A good walking style is to take 10 even paces, then pause and wait 30 seconds. Look to the ground at likely candidates for rabbit nests, and watch closely for signs of movement. More often than not, the waiting period of silence after walking and making noise is what will scare up a rabbit. Be patient. If you’re hunting...

TL;DR in English: Learn what and where rabbits eat in your area. Obtain permission to hunt on property. Hunt early in the morning or right at sunset. Walk them out. Look for tracks. Leapfrog around. Look for their eyes. Enlist the help of a good hunting dog

Turning the key off makes it impossible for thieves to amplify the key's signal. You can switch the key off when you're finished with the car and turn it back on before you need to use your car again. If you can't find your manual, ask at the dealership or look online to find out if your key can be switched off. Some keys can be turned off with a double-click or by pushing certain buttons in a certain order. Test your key by pushing the open button twice to see if it'll turn the key off. A steering wheel lock is exactly what it sounds like. It's a bar-like object that you place on your wheel and lock into place with a key. It stops the wheel from being turned and renders the car useless to thieves. If the thief can't steer the car, they can't steal it. You can buy a steering wheel lock at your local car parts store or car dealership. You can get a secondary car alarm installed in your car at the local garage or car dealership. Secondary car alarms have a wide range of capabilities. The best on the market are able to tell you if your car doors are open or closed from up to 1 mile (1.6 km) away. The top of the line secondary car alarms cost around $400. However, you can get a more basic secondary alarm for $40 or so, GPS tracking devices let you and the police find out the precise location of your car. Stolen cars have a much higher chance of being recovered when fitted with a tracking device.  Buy a GPS tracker at your local car parts or electronics store. It might seem drastic, but you can place a camera on the outside of your home to keep an eye on your car. Link the camera to your television and you can switch to the CCTV channel any time you want to check on your car. Contact a local security company to arrange for a professional to set up the CCTV up for you.  A CCTV system will cost around $1000 to set up outside your home. If you don't want to set up a CCTV system, consider installing a camera but not connecting it to electricity. Even the presence of a CCTV camera can be enough to deter thieves....

Spread at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of bedding across the bottom of the cage. Avoid using bedding that can sicken or injure the mice. Put a water container in the cage for the mice to drink from. Place a food bowl in the cage. Add a house or hidey hole so the mice feel safe. Include lots of toys for your mice to play with.

If you wear shoes that show lots of skin on the tops of your feet and around your ankles, then this may make you seem taller. Instead, choose shoes that cover more skin or that partially cover the central part of your foot. For example, you could wear a pair of mules, oxfords, boots, open toed heels, or slide on sandals. Flats are a pretty obvious choice for tall people. Flat shoes, even sneakers with a low amount of padding, don't add height to what you already have. You can do a lot with flats, pairing them with skinny jeans for example. Most men's casual shoes are already flat, so just make sure you pick up a pair with a thinner sole.  Most women's flats lack sole support, so if you are going to wear flats, either use a padded insole or make sure you aren't going to be walking or standing for long periods of time. Wearing flats without support in the long term can lead to injuries that limit how much you can work and enjoy life. If you want to wear heels in spite of the fact that they add to your height, choose heels with straps around the ankles. Your goal is to break up the appearance of length in your feet, ankles, and legs. You also want heels with rounded toes to make your feet look smaller. Even with thicker heels, men's shoes are not usually designed with ankle straps. Men who want to be a little taller can simply wear dress shoes with thicker heels. For women, pairing skirts that hit above the knee with boots that go over the knee creates even more distinction between the top and bottom of your legs. Not only does this look make you look shorter, it is fashionable and can make you feel confident. A woman could wear shorts instead of a skirt in this situation. Just make sure that some skin is visible between the boots and clothes. When not in a business setting, patterned shoes for men are a good idea. They shorten the appearance of the feet, and since most tall men have big feet, this will add to a shorter appearance. Patterned shoes also draw attention to the feet, preventing people from looking...

TL;DR in English: Choose shoes that cover up more of your feet. Wear flat shoes. Select the right heels. Try boots that go over the knee. Choose patterned shoes for men.

Once the plaster has dried on your pond's base, you can start to paint it with acrylic craft paint that you can find at most arts and crafts stores. Use a brush to lay down basecoats for large details like the bottom of the pond and the area around the pond. You can also draw smaller details like fish or animals directly onto the plaster base. Remember to try to stay within your theme and choose colors that fit the aesthetic of your pond.  The color of the bottom of your pond area will dictate the color of pond after you pour the resin in. Bright greens and browns work well with a koi pond. Browns, grays, and light greens work well with a toxic sludge pond. Add the impression of depth by painting the middle of your pond a darker shade than the outer edges of your pond. Adding details to your pond and the area around your pond will add complexity to your model. Consider adding things like miniature fish, lily pads, ducks, rabbits, or other wildlife created out of clay. To create these small additions, use a polymer clay to form them before heating them in an oven to harden them. Other details you can add include large rock formations, waterfalls, people, lamp posts, or anything else that you can imagine. Once these tiny clay details have hardened, you can paint them to add depth to them. Once your paint has dried, glue them to your miniature pond with gorilla glue or superglue. Gluing things into the hole that you gorged for the pond will make them appear as if they are swimming in the pond once your pour your resin. If you want your details to appear like they are floating on water, you'll have to glue them to the surface of your resin once it has dried. Instead of creating clay models for all the details in your miniature pond, you can use things that you find in your garden. Gather up pebbles, small stones, leaves, or tufts of grass from your yard and glue them around the exterior of your pond. You can also use small seashells if you are creating a coastal miniature pond.

TL;DR in English: Paint the plaster base. Create other details around your pond. Paint and attach your details to the model's base. Use things you find in nature to decorate your pond.

The best way to crush rocks at home without professional equipment is with a mortar and pestle. You want to be sure it is made of material that will be harder than the quartz and gold you're crushing, such as steel or cast-iron. The crushing and panning method will destroy your piece of quartz. Make sure you're okay with destroying your quartz before starting crushing and panning. Place your piece of quartz in the mortar, or bowl of your mortar and pestle set. Press hard on it with the pestle until pieces start to break off. Crush these smaller pieces up until you have a dust of quartz and gold mixed together. If you end up breaking off larger pieces that are only quartz, you can separate these out and focus only on the areas that have gold-colored particles. Commercially produced gold pans can be found for about $10 or less online. Take your crushed powders and mix them with water in a large tub. Then dip your gold pan into the water, trying to get as much powder into it as you can. Use a circular motion to swirl the water around in your gold pan. Real gold, because it is heaviest, will settle down to the bottom of the pan. Other lighter particles of quartz will rise to the top.  Empty the water with lighter quartz powders into a different container by tipping the gold pan slightly and set this aside to dispose of later. You may have to repeat this step multiple times to get the gold to settle at the bottom. Have patience! If the gold-colored dust never settles to the bottom, and instead rises to the top of the gold pan with the other quartz powder, unfortunately it was not real gold to begin with. After spending time sifting the powders, you may begin to see gold particles and flakes at the bottom of your pan. Remove these pieces with tweezers and place them in a glass vial to take them to an assayer to determine how much they are worth. If you have other pieces of black sand in the bottom of your pan mixed with your gold dust, use a strong magnet to separate those out from the gold before putting the gold...

TL;DR in English: Obtain a steel or cast-iron mortar and pestle. Crush your quartz until it is a fine powder. Obtain a gold pan and submerge your powders in water. Swirl the powdery water around in your pan until the gold separates. Remove the gold pieces with tweezers into a glass vial.

If you panic while you’re swimming you are at risk for drowning. Focus on your breathing and your form. If you’re in the deep end of a pool, calmly find your way to the shallow end. If you’re out in a larger body of water, look for something to stand on or something to hold on to.  If you need help calming down, float on your back and focus on breathing deeply. When you panic, you become short of breath. This can make it harder to float. If you aren’t a confident swimmer wear a lifejacket, especially when you’re swimming in large bodies of water. An inexperienced swimmer can usually make it to the edge of the pool, but they might have trouble making it to the shore. Fortunately, you can use the correct dog paddle form when wearing a life jacket.  If you don’t want to wear a lifejacket but still want to be safe, use a Safer Swimmer. This is a small life buoy that attaches to a belt and floats behind you as you swim.  When in doubt, have children wear a life jacket. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Never swim alone. If you have a panic attack in the water or have trouble staying afloat your friend will be able to help you. Try to swim at pools that employ lifeguards. Lifeguards are trained to help you if you’re drowning and to administer basic first aid.  Have a cell phone nearby when you swim just in case you need to call your local emergency number. Always obey pool rules and regulations.

TL;DR in English: Stay calm. Wear a lifejacket. Swim responsibly.

Purchase hay, shredded paper, or aspen shavings to spread in the cage. This will insulate the cage and the mice can use the bedding to create nests for sheltering. You also want enough bedding that your mice can burrow, which will means that they won't need their toys changed as often. Use a variety of materials so the mice can choose what they want to build their nests with. Sawdust, cedar shavings, and pine shavings can cause respiratory problems so leave these out of the cage. You should also avoid putting cotton wool or fluffy bedding into the cage. The mice can shred these and choke on them or become tangled. If you choose to use aspen shavings, ensure that the shavings are made from toxic-free wood. Attach a water bottle that has a drinking tube to the side of the cage. This will keep the water fresh because the tube will only dispense water when the mice want to drink. Check the water every day to ensure the mice always have access to fresh water.  While you can set a water bowl in the cage, some mice like to throw bedding into it, so you may need to change the water frequently. Water bowls may work for elderly mice, however, many mice will just dirty them, and it may be possible for mice to drown in them, so try to avoid water bowls as much as possible. Pour mouse food into a clean bowl and place it in the cage. Try to raise the bowl up off of the bedding so bedding material doesn't get into the food bowl. You may see the mice remove some of the food from the bowl and hide it in the bedding. This is normal behavior. Your mice will like somewhere to hide and feel secure even if they make their own nests in the cage. Set a small plastic domed house or hut in the cage so your mice can retreat and feel safe. Mice need to have at least two houses per mouse in case one mouse decides to become territorial, or a house becomes damaged. To prevent your mice from becoming bored or sedentary, put toys for your mice to chew on and a rodent wheel in the cage. Choose a large plastic rodent wheel since their feet can...

TL;DR in English:


Don't worry. Think about something else.

An impact driver is a manual tool that drives a screwdriver bit further into the screw using a weight and spring. This works well on sturdy construction, but may damage electronics or other sensitive equipment. If you're concerned about damage, avoid cheap models with a stiff spring, since these require forceful hammer blows to work. A powered impact wrench is not recommended, since the excessive force could damage the surrounding material. Some models have a switch. On others, you set the direction of the turn by twisting the handle. Fit a drill bit of the correct size to the end of your driver. Place it in the screw and hold the driver in place at a 90º angle. Grip the driver at its midpoint, keeping your hand clear of the end. The bits that came with your impact driver are often extra-hard, which makes the process easier. Tap the end of the driver sharply with a heavy mallet. A rubber mallet helps you avoid scratching the driver. Some impact drivers jar out of position after each strike. Set it back to "loosen" if you need to. Once the screw comes loose, use a regular screwdriver to remove it from the hole.

TL;DR in English: Get an impact driver. Set the impact driver to loosen screws. Hold the driver in place. Strike the end with a mallet. Check the driver direction. Repeat until the screw is loose.

Chicken soup can do a couple of things to help girls get well more quickly. One, it acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and two, it speeds up the movement of mucus which eases nasal congestion and can help get rid of viruses. Also, it aids in keeping you hydrated. Healthy eating is a huge part of getting better more quickly and in staying better once you've gotten rid of your cold. This means avoiding sweets while you're sick: no soda, no candy, no ice cream, no dairy.  Sugar is apparently terrible for your immune system. It curbs the immune system cells that attack viruses, which in turn keeps you from getting better quickly and staying better. Sugar can also irritate areas that are already inflamed (like your throat). Try to eat more of the brightly colored fruits and veggies like berries, citrus fruits, kiwi, apples, red grapes, kale, onions, spinach, sweet potatoes, and carrots and garlic. Exercise helps boost your immune system which allows it to better fight infections and viruses. Girls who don't exercise are much more likely to get sick (or get a cold) than those who do exercise. Exercise also releases feel-good chemicals and helps you sleep better, which in turn helps boost your immune system. Even when you're feeling bad because you have a cold, try for at least a 30-minute walk, or some yoga. It will help you get better more quickly. Saltwater rinses and nasal sprays break down the mucus that is congesting your nasal passageways and removes virus particles and bacteria from your nose. You can get something like a Neti pot at a health food store, or simply use a bulb syringe. Mix 1/4 teaspoon of salt with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 8-ounces of warm water. Lean your head over a sink and gently squirt the saltwater solution into your nostril. Hold 1 nostril closed with your finger while you squirt the saltwater solution into the other and let drain. Repeat 2 to 3 times on both nostrils. Obviously, sleep is important to getting over a cold, but try to do calm, quiet, non-taxing things when you're...

TL;DR in English: Eat chicken soup. Eat healthily. Exercise. Use a saline nasal spray. Get rested.

if you’re having a conversation with someone. Listen when someone else is talking and give them your full attention. Focusing intently on the other person’s words will help you to respond in a more thoughtful manner when they are finished talking.  For example, if someone is telling a story about their weekend, give them your full attention so that you can ask them questions about it and comment sincerely on what they said. Don’t focus on what you want to say next while the other person is talking. You won’t really be listening to them if you do this and you might respond with something that doesn’t relate to what they were just saying. ” If you notice that you’re doing a lot of umming and uh-hing, this usually indicates that you’re unsure of what to say next and you’re thinking out loud. If this happens, close your mouth and pause for a minute. Take the time to think about what you want to say before you continue. It’s fine to simply say, “I need a minute to think about that,” if someone asks you a question. If you’re having a conversation with someone and unsure of how to respond to something they just said, ask them to clarify for you. Rephrase the statement they just made or the question they just asked and check to see if you’re understanding them correctly.  For example, you could say something like, “What did you mean when you said you didn’t like the movie’s structure?” Or, you could say something like, “It sounds like you’re saying you want to go home because you aren’t feeling well. Is that right?” This tip can also be used to pass time to think. If you’re in the midst of an argument or heated conversation with someone or if you’re just feeling nervous about speaking, taking a few deep breaths is a good way to calm yourself down, collect your thoughts, and buy yourself a little extra time to think. Take a long, slow breath in through your nose to the count of 4, then hold it for 4 seconds, and exhale slowly through your mouth to the count of 4. If you need a longer break to calm yourself down, try...

TL;DR in English: Listen carefully Pause for a minute if you find yourself saying “um” or “uh. Clarify what the other person has just said by asking a question. Take a few deep breaths or excuse yourself in tense situations.

Place your palms together so all your fingers are lined up. With this hand snake figure, the thumbs will form the bottom of the mouth and the middle fingers will form the top. Behind it, close your right ring finger over your left hand. Close your left pinky over your right hand. Twist your right hand slightly and slip your right pinky between your two palms.  The tips of your ring fingers will form the snake’s eyes. The pinky inside your hands will be the snake’s tongue. Continue pressing your middle finger tips together as you open your palms to face you. Pull your index fingers back behind your middle fingers. Bend your middle fingers and point them toward you, and allow each ring finger to naturally slide up the back of the opposite middle finger. Press each index finger tip into the back of the same hand's middle finger (this forms the eyes). This is the bottom of the snake’s mouth, and the tips of your middle fingers are the top. Move your thumbs up and down together to open and close the snake’s mouth. When you open the snake’s mouth, wriggle the right pinky finger that’s in between your palms to move the snake’s tongue.

TL;DR in English: Put your hands in a prayer position. Close your left ring finger over your right hand. Spread your index fingers apart. Wrap each index finger around the tip of the opposite ring finger. Press the tips of your thumbs together and into the tips of your middle fingers.

One of the most common causes of premature ejaculation in men is nervousness and anxiety over the quality of one's performance. The best thing to do is relax and focus on enjoying the closeness with your partner. Remember that sex is about intimacy as much as pleasure, and great sex comes from chemistry much more than stamina or skill. If you find yourself getting stressed or "in your head," take a deep breath and spend a moment reconnecting with your partner. The classic way that men, and some women, use to control the timing of their orgasm is to concentrate on some mundane topic while having sex. Put the pleasure you are receiving to the back of your mind, and try doing a few basic math problems in your head until you are finally ready to climax.  Avoid thinking about topics or images that stress you out or turn you off. These can cause you to lose your arousal during sex, instead of simply letting you extend it. Instead try to think about something more abstract, such as visualizing geometric shapes or recalling the lyrics to a favorite song. Don't extend your stamina at the expense of being present with your partner. Long sex can be dull for both of you if you spend the whole time with your head in the clouds. Use this technique sparingly and instead focus on engaging and being active with your partner.

If the cilantro is even a little moist, you should dry it with clean paper towels or by putting it through a spin in a salad spinner. Cilantro will go bad much faster if the leaves are still wet, so it is crucial that you get as much water off as possible. To be on the safe side, the best option is to spin the cilantro in a salad spinner and spread the stems out in a single layer on a dry kitchen towel. Place the towel in direct sunlight for a few hours to further dry the cilantro. Cover the container and place it in your refrigerator. It should stay fresh for two to three weeks. Check the cilantro periodically during this time. Look through the sides of the container if using clear plastic, or quickly remove the lid and peek inside if using a container made of tinted plastic. Remove any wilted or discolored cilantro. If you notice any moisture, dry the container and send your cilantro for another spin in the salad spinner.

TL;DR in English: Dry the cilantro completely. Keep in the refrigerator.

Don't worry if your first coat is paler than you want it to be. Most colors will need 2-3 coats for a full color. Add as many coats as needed to achieve the color that you want. The amount of time the spray paint will take to dry depends on the brand—it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. When your paint coat has finished drying, it should turn from glossy to dull. Use a hairdryer to speed up the drying process from an hour to a few minutes. Turn the hairdryer setting to "cool," position it 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) away from the RC body, and keep it moving at all times. When the last coat is dry, remove the masking tape covering the area you plan to paint a different color. Start painting that area of the RC body just as you painted the first color. Continue painting your RC body and removing the masking tape until you have completely painted the vehicle. Decals are great for adding designs that are too complicated for masking tape. Place your decals carefully on the vehicle body to prevent smudging your paint job. You might add, for example, racing stripes, flames, skulls and crossbones, swirls, animals, or your/your RC car's name. To keep your spray paint or decals from peeling off and to give your RC vehicle a glossy sheen, spray a thin, clear spray paint over the body. Let your last paint coat dry for 30 minutes to an hour before you play with your RC vehicle. Purchase a clear spray paint that is also made for polycarbonate lexan.

TL;DR in English: Apply additional coats for a darker or richer color. Let each coat dry before you apply additional coats. Move on to another color after you have finished with the first. Add decals to the RC body after the last color has dried. Finish your RC paint job with a clear coat of spray paint.

This is very important. If you add your flavoring to the mixture too soon, the heat will destroy the beneficial properties of the essential oil. It may also weaken the flavor and fragrance of the essential oil. Depending on how warm or cool it is in your kitchen, it will take about 10 minutes for the lip gloss to set. If the lip gloss is taking too long, you can speed the process up by sticking it into the fridge or freezer for a few minutes. Once the mixture has set, screw the caps onto the jars.

TL;DR in English: Allow the mixture to cool for 3 minutes. Let the mixture set before you use it.

To get the smoothest cut from your table saw, invest in a blade with a high tooth count, such as an 80 TPI plywood blade.  Most stock blades on table saws work well for rough cuts, but will not give you a clean edge.  Alternatively use a zero-clearance insert under the plywood. To make one of these, carefully set a piece of wood or plywood onto the working table saw, taking care not to have the wood slip or pull from your hands. Once the blade is all the way through (the blade needs to be quite high), clamp the insert down. You will be cutting on the insert, which does not allow the bottom layer of plywood to chip downward because of the low clearance between the blade and the insert. The insert is sacrificial and it's usually only sensible to make one when cutting large amounts of plywood. Raising the blade changes the direction the teeth will enter the wood. When the blade is slightly raised, such that the teeth just barely cut through the surface, the teeth enter the cutting surface at an angle. If you raise the blade a little higher, you can get a perpendicular cut, which will make a smoother surface. Don't raise the blade more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the cutting surface. A raised blade may offer a smoother cut, but it also makes for a more dangerous cut. Exercise extreme caution when cutting with a raised blade. Your table saw may have a gap between the blade and the throat plate, where the blade sits in the table saw. A zero-clearance insert closes the gap and offers support to the sheet, making a smoother cut.  You can purchase a zero-clearance throat plate online or at your local hardware store.  Alternatively make your own. First, carefully set a piece of wood or plywood onto the working table saw, taking care not to have the wood slip or pull away from your hands. Once the blade is all the way through (the blade needs to be quite high), clamp the insert down. You will be cutting on the insert, which does not allow the bottom layer of plywood to chip downward because of the low clearance between...

When your hens are mature enough to start regularly producing (18 to 24 weeks depending on breed), you need to make sure that they have the right feed and nutrients to produce eggs suitable for human consumption. Otherwise, your hens' egg production will be poor and their eggs might break before they make it to the table. The proper diet will also ensure that your hens look and feel healthy. After about 20 weeks, you need to up the amount of calcium your laying hens consume. Laying hens need 2.5% to 3.5% calcium in their feed, which is higher than other chickens. The calcium will help provide the proper nutrients to support healthy eggs. Offer this calcium to your hens separately from their regular feed, so that they can consume it at their own pace. For good sources of calcium, consider:  Oyster shells. Calcium grit. Limestone. The hens’ own eggshells, but only after they have been cooked and thoroughly cleaned. If you choose to offer eggshells, grind them up into a fine powder so that the hens do not recognize what they are eating and decide to try eating their own eggs. Feeds with added calcium. Free-range chickens are able to supplement their diet with a variety of insects, berries, seeds, and grain. This will not only help them secure the nutrients for healthy egg production, but it will also improve the taste of your eggs. In addition, you’ll have happier hens, and you might even be able to sell their eggs for more money to a population that is increasingly concerned with the well-being of farm animals. You don’t want your laying hens to have too much protein in their diet. While meat hens need 20-24% protein in their diet, laying hens only need 16% or less protein.  As a result, be alert to the type of feed you buy, and what your hens are consuming. To boost protein, consider:  Letting your chickens free range for worms. Extra grower feed. Feed that is formulated for laying hens. Layer feed is feed that comes with the nutrients that laying hens need to produce healthy eggs. If you don’t want to spend a...

TL;DR in English: Provide your hens with the right food and nutrition at the right time. Add calcium to the hens’ diet, at the right time. Allow your hens to roam free. Maintain appropriate amounts of protein. Find some good layer feed. Provide your hens with a bowlful of grit. Avoid feeding your hens large amounts of table scraps. Feed your hens mealworms, sometimes.

Rinse the potatoes under cold water and use a scrub brush to gently remove any dirt. Then, peel the potatoes with a vegetable peeler if you want tender, boiled potatoes or if you'll be mashing them by hand. Use any type of potato that you like. You might use floury potatoes, such as Russets, for fluffy potatoes or waxy potatoes, such as yellow or red potatoes, for deeper flavor. Stir the salt until it dissolves in the water. Then, keep the lid off of the pot and turn the burner to high. Heat the water until it begins to boil vigorously.For even more flavor, you could add a halved head of garlic and 1 bay leaf to the water or cook the potatoes in chicken stock. Once the water is boiling, turn the burner down to medium so it bubbles gently. Cook the potatoes until they're completely tender. To test if they're done, insert a skewer or fork into the middle of a potato to see if it comes out easily.  The amount of time this takes depends on the size of the potatoes or pieces. Potato cubes that are around 1 inch (2.5 cm) will take closer to 15 minutes to cook while whole potatoes will take more like 25 minutes. There's no need to stir the potatoes as they simmer. Set a colander in the sink and wear oven mitts to hold the pot of potatoes. Slowly pour the potatoes into the colander so the hot water drains. Then, transfer them to a serving or mixing bowl.  If you're only boiling a few potatoes, you could scoop them out of the pot with a slotted spoon instead. Boiled potato can be canned and preserved for future use. To simply serve the boiled potatoes, toss them gently with a little butter and salt. For a smooth side dish, mash the potatoes with a potato masher or pass them through a ricer. Then, stir milk or cream into the potatoes to make homemade mashed potatoes.  You could also chill the potatoes and make potato salad with them. Boiled potatoes last for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

TL;DR in English: Scrub 1 pound (0.45 kg) of potatoes and peel them if you like. Stir in 1 teaspoon (5.5 g) of salt and turn the burner to high. Simmer the uncovered potatoes for between 15 and 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes in the sink. Serve the boiled potatoes or mash them to make mashed potatoes.

Compact fluorescent is a generic term used for a variety of bulbs. CFLs use 20-40% less energy to produce the same light or lumens (a measure of light intensity). They are color adjusted to produce light close to real sunlight.   CFLs generate less heat and offer a longer lifespan than incandescent bulbs saving you money on electric bills and protecting the environment from harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Look for Energy Star labels on fluorescent fixtures and lamps for assurance of maximum savings, quality and standards. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are commonly used in desk lamps, floor lamps, under cabinet lamps, table lamps, linear strips, wall sconces, flush mounts, chandeliers, close-to-ceiling or flush mounts, pendants, ceiling clouds, kitchen island lights, path lights, outdoor wall lanterns, outdoor post lanterns, as well as outdoor wall and ceiling mounts. First generation compact fluorescents can not be used in motion sensor fixtures or lights with a dimmer switch; however newer second generation CFLs (that are usually more expensive) may be specifically labeled and sold for that purpose. Choose fluorescent light bulbs for energy conservation and versatility. Fluorescent light bulbs are an energy efficient bulb, using 20-40% less electricity than standard incandescent bulbs lasting up to 20 times longer. Many new compact styles make fluorescent bulbs practical for task lighting. Screw-in types can be used in place of incandescent bulbs in standard lamp sockets. The warmth and softness of the fluorescent light bulbs is improving. Fluorescent light bulbs are commonly used in desk lamps, floor lamps, under-cabinet lamps, table lamps, linear strips, wall sconces, flush mounts, chandeliers, close-to-ceiling mounts, pendants, ceiling clouds, kitchen island lights, path lights, outdoor wall lanterns and outdoor post lanterns. Many of today's lamps use halogen light bulbs. Halogen bulbs produce a whiter light and produce more light (lumens) per watt than standard incandescent bulbs. They most closely...

TL;DR in English: Try a compact fluorescent light bulb. Look at using fluorescent light bulbs. Try a halogen light bulb. Use an incandescent light bulb. Try a PAR bulb. Look into xenon light bulbs. Try LEDs (light emitting diode). Choose specialty bulbs for specialty needs. Consider Electron Stimulated Luminescence (ESL) bulbs in the future.

Microgreens are the small leaves that sprout up from the ground before the daikon radishes form. You can harvest and eat these small leaves. Use a pair of sharp scissors or garden shears to snip the leaves about 0.5 in (1.3 cm) from the ground. Daikon microgreens are great raw or cooked. Add them to a salad, throw a handful into a smoothie, or stir-fry them with some other fresh veggies. Your daikon radishes should be ready to harvest when the tops have grown to a length of 8 inches (20 cm). Use a measuring tape to determine their length. Check them regularly when you think they are getting close and pull them up as soon as they are ready.  You can eat daikon radishes raw or cooked. Peel, slice, and toss some in a salad or stir-fry. Leaving the radishes in the ground too long will cause them to get woody and they may not be edible. If you have any daikon that are still growing when the temperature start to dip below freezing, pull them up. The longer the daikon stay in the ground when it starts to get cold, the higher the chance that they will rot.

TL;DR in English: Cut microgreens when they are about 2 inches (5.1 cm) in height. Harvest the daikon leaves when they are 8 inches (20 cm). Pull up the remaining radishes before the ground freezes.

. There are different types of tongue cleaning tools. Scrapers are the most common. Tongue brushes, while relatively recent, are also relatively common. “Tongue cleaners” are common tools that have a series of soft ridges for pulling across the tongue.  Research shows both tongue scraping and tongue brushing to be equally effective in reducing the plaque.  Some combination scraper-brushes are also available, enabling you to brush while you scrape. Toothbrushes with a tongue scraping feature were found to be just as effective as a separate tool. There are many different materials that tongue cleaning devices are made out of. Metal, plastic, and silicon are common materials. You may find that you prefer one material over another. Give a few different ones a try.  Stainless steel and copper are two common metals used. Scrapers made from these metals can also safely get placed in hot water for sterilization. Plastic scrapers tend to much less expensive, but are not as durable, and will need to be regularly replaced. Silicon edges may help to make scraping your tongue more comfortable. Because there are many different companies that produce similar products, it is important to look at the little differences. Contrast pricing, aesthetic and user reviews online, or even look for coupons before you shop. Ask an employee at the store about what brands are most popular. Many grocery stores and pharmacies will sell name brand tongue cleaning tools. You can find a tongue cleaner at Indian groceries or order them easily online. The curved copper ones are simple, highly effective, and last a long time. Or you could ask your dentist or orthodontist for recommendations.

TL;DR in English:

. It’s important that you stay true to yourself, and don’t let others influence you negatively. Don’t feel as though you have to change your interests or opinions based on what others like. A strong sense of self will earn the respect of others. For instance, if everyone in your peer group is eating pizza for lunch, and you don’t like pizza, don’t feel as though you have to eat it too. Select what you like, and if someone comments on it, simply say “I’m not a big fan of pizza. I like getting my lunch from the salad bar better.” Show people what you are good at, and encourage them to do the same. Everyone has unique skills, so don’t worry if you aren’t good at everything you try. Simply showcase the things you do well, and appreciate others that can do things that you may struggle with.  For example, if you are a skilled runner, join the track or cross-country team. If someone you know has a great voice, encourage them to join the choir or try out for the spring musical. Intelligence is a highly respected trait, so don’t be afraid of letting people see your smart side. You should give all your schoolwork maximum effort, volunteer answers in class, and offer to tutor a student having trouble with something you understand well.  Don’t brag or boast about your intelligence, though, just let it speak for itself. Sometimes, you will make mistakes. If someone proves you wrong, thank them, or say something like "I stand corrected!" . Make others laugh by telling them a good joke or a funny story. Watch funny shows or listen to comedy skits for inspiration. You can even do an Internet search for funny jokes so you have a few on hand at any given time. Just avoid jokes that are inappropriate, or that demean or make fun of different genders or racial groups.  Don’t take yourself too seriously. If something embarrassing happens, just brush it off with a smile and a laugh. Take note of other people's reactions. What's funny to one person may not be funny to the next. . Confidence goes hand in hand with respect. Accept and...

You can purchase a split cage insert in a pet store and put it into your existing cage. Make sure to purchase a split cage insert that will fit your gerbils’ enclosure. Check the measurements on the cage before you go to the store.  Choose a glass or plastic aquarium and not a wire-bottom cage. Wire-bottom cages pose hazards to gerbils since their feet can get caught and injured. Do not divide a cage that is less than a 10 US gal (38 L) for 2 gerbils. If the enclosure you have is smaller than this, you will need to get a new one. Place 2 in (5.1 cm) of bedding, a dish of food, and a bottle of water into both sides of the cage. These are the only items your gerbils absolutely need, so only put these items into each gerbil's side of the enclosure.  Feed each gerbil a gerbil mix that contains pellets, seeds, grains, and dried veggies. You can also give your gerbils a few bite-sized fresh veggie or fruit pieces daily, such as broccoli, carrots, bananas, or apples. Chose water bottles that you can hang from the sides of the enclosure and replenish them daily. Shredded newspaper or paper towels are the best type of bedding for gerbils. Never use wood shavings of any kind in a gerbil’s enclosure! While the gerbils are getting to know each other, don’t place any toys, wheels, or other items that 1 of the gerbils might try to claim. This will increase the likelihood that 1 or both will become territorial and they will be less likely to accept each other. Provide each of the gerbils with a new food bowl and hiding spot to prevent them from being territorial over their old ones.

TL;DR in English: Add a split cage insert to your gerbil enclosure. Stock both sides of the enclosure with the bare necessities. Leave out toys and other items that might cause a fight.

A goniometer has two arms: one that’s attached to the circle with the angle degrees on it, and a movable arm that does the measuring. Make sure you understand how the moving arm points to the angle degrees so that you’re able to measure the range of motion accurately. Once the moving arm of the goniometer is aligned with the moving limb, you'll look at the goniometer to see the angle degree that the moving arm is pointing to. The center of the goniometer, also called the fulcrum, should be placed right on the fulcrum of the joint you’re measuring. The center is the round section attached to the stationary arm. Aligning the fulcrums of both the goniometer and the joint will ensure an accurate measurement. For example, if you’re measuring the hip joint, the center of the goniometer should be placed right where the hip joint is, in the center of your hip. Once the center of the goniometer is on the joint, align the stationary arm (the arm attached to the circle) with the limb that’s going to remain in place. This is the limb that you’ll hold steady while the other limb rotates.  If you were measuring your knee’s range of motion, the fulcrum of the goniometer would be on the fulcrum of your knee joint, with the stationary arm of the goniometer aligned with your thigh. If it helps, imagine you're aligning the arms of the goniometer with the bones in your body. While holding the goniometer and stationary limb in place, move the joint as far forwards or backwards as possible. Be careful not to move any other part of your body except the limb that’s being measured. Stretch the joint as far as it will safely go, and then hold your limb in place. For example, hold your arm in place while bending your wrist forwards. The hand would be the limb that’s about to be measured, and you’d be keeping the arm stable and unmoving. Once you’ve stretched your limb as far as it can go, slide the moving arm of the goniometer around so that it’s aligned with the limb that stretched. You should now have the stationary arm of the...

TL;DR in English: Familiarize yourself with the goniometer before using it. Align the center of the goniometer with the center of the joint. Hold the goniometer's stationary arm along the limb being measured. Stretch the joint through the range of motion. Move the moving arm of the goniometer to align with the moving limb. Record the angle on a piece of paper to find out the range of motion.

Among other things, one thing many food scientists (or sensory analysts) do is help develop new food products, or make existing food products better.  In order to make sure the food meets consumer expectations, they spend time organizing taste tests with consumers and analyzing the results of those tests.  Food scientists also get to taste test their own food, before it is tested by consumers.  At a minimum, food scientists require a Bachelor’s of Science degree from a post-secondary school, normally in a food science-related major. Many food scientists go onto pursue graduate degrees as well, especially if they’re interested in academic research. Food scientists earn approximately $58,000 per year. If you decided to pursue a career in food science or sensory analysis, and you don’t already have the appropriate education, you will need to enroll in a Bachelors of Science program at a university.  All major universities have a science faculty where you can earn a Bachelors of Science in a general area like biology or chemistry.  But some schools have special food science departments where they teach you more specific skills pertaining to food production.  Examples of some North American options are as follows:  The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has an undergraduate degree in Food Science and Technology.  North Carolina State University has undergraduate programs in Food Science, Bioprocessing Science, Nutrition Science, and Applied Nutrition.  The Culinary Institute of America has undergraduate programs in Culinary Arts, Applied Food Studies, and Culinary Science.  The University of Florida has undergraduate programs in Dietetics, Food Science and Nutritional Sciences. The University of Alberta has undergraduate programs in Nutrition, Food Science, and Dietetics. Some universities, in addition to degree programs, also offer after-degree or certificate programs in more specific subjects associated with sensory analysis.  If you already have a Bachelors of Science, but did not major in food sciences or...

To save power, many computers go into sleep mode after a certain time of inactivity. If you leave the desk for long enough that your screen saver comes on, it’s a giveaway that you’ve been gone awhile. Turn the sleep mode off so that the screen always looks like you just left.  Make sure to leave a few windows open so it appears that you were working on something right before you left your desk. Never leave anything like a shopping site or a game open on your computer when you leave. Another option if you work on the computer is to leave something open that says “Loading” or “Installing,” because this gives you a good reason to leave your desk. Fill your work area with several projects that you are in the process of doing. Cover your desk with open binders, highlighted reports, tools, or partially unpacked merchandise. If it appears that you are working on something, people who walk by will assume you’ll be right back.  Don’t leave the same fake setup every day or people will start to notice. If you sort through a box of items, leave piles halfway sorted. If you walk away from your desk empty-handed, it’s going to look more like you’re not doing anything. Carry a binder, a notebook, or a small stack of papers so it looks like you’re on your way to meet someone. In other settings, carry a tool, a box of merchandise, or a piece of equipment.  The best thing to carry will be determined by what your job is. Don’t carry the same prop every day or it will begin to be obvious that it’s a prop. Choose something that is easy to carry and can be set down and picked up without too much effort. A small item will make you look busy while not drawing too much attention. Think of a work-related topic, like a recent policy change or a big project your firm is working on, and go discuss it with someone. When you go chat with the person, mention the work related thing, but talk about other things to use up more time. If you make up a fake topic, make sure it seems real enough to be a good cover.  Mention what you are doing to...

Don't be pushy.  Deciding whether or not to buy a horse is a big decision.  Your parents will likely need time to think it over.  Show them you can be patient. Take the extra time to prepare yourself and continue to study. Do your best in school.  Finish all your chores. Stay out of trouble. Show your parents you can handle responsibility and are ready for more. Continue working with horses. Gain all the experience you can. Show your parents how passionate you are about working with horses. Even if your parents end up saying no, thank them for their consideration.  If you handle the disappointment well, they'll be more likely to change their mind later.  Don't blame them.  Say "I completely respect your decision.  I realize owning a horse is a huge commitment.  I'm still passionate about horses and I hope someday I can prove to you that I do deserve the honor of owning one." Understand that they may not currently have the means to support a horse. Don't give up.  Keep trying to convince them that you can handle horse ownership.

TL;DR in English: Give your parents time to consider. Follow through on other responsibilities. Continue to show commitment to horses. Act mature.

If you are the subject of an HR investigation, remember that the representative is required, by work and in some cases by law, to investigate accusations. If you help your investigator with the case, you are less likely to lend credence to character-related accusations. Let your representative know exactly what happened (or did not happen). If you have corroborating evidence, share it with them. Get as may of the facts as you can. Ask what you can expect as the investigation proceeds, and if you should modify any of your work practices in the meantime. Ask how you will know when the investigation is done, who will tell you, and when it is likely to be resolved.  If there is information withheld, ask "what can you tell me about X?" Make sure to obtain your investigator's name and contact information. Finally, ask with whom you are permitted to discuss the investigation. If a false accusation is not dismissed, you may have to contest it. False accusations might come to nothing, but you should be prepared in case you are denied a promotion, suspended, or fired. Be calm and forthcoming with your supervisor and anyone else authorized to discuss the case with you.  Know that you are not necessarily legally protected from being fired for false or impossible to prove allegations. Unless you have a contract that states the minimum length of your employment, you are likely an "at will" employee, and can be fired for any reason.  If you do have a contract that says you can only be fired for committing a crime, or if you believe yourself to be the target of discrimination, you can sue for wrongful termination.

TL;DR in English: Cooperate. State the facts. Ask questions. Learn your rights.

If you're trying to repair a malfunctioning external hard drive or flash drive, plug it into one of your computer's USB ports.  Skip this step if you're attempting to fix a built-in hard drive. You may need a USB 3 to USB-C adapter if your Mac doesn't have traditional USB ports. It's a menu item at the top of your Mac's screen. A drop-down menu will appear. If you don't see Go at the top of the screen, click the Finder app icon in your Mac's dock (or click the desktop) to force it to appear. You'll find this option near the bottom of the drop-down menu. Double-click the Disk Utility app icon, which resembles a grey hard drive with a stethoscope on it. In the upper-left corner of the window, click the hard drive that you want to fix. It's an image of a stethoscope at the top of the Disk Utility window. Doing so will prompt Disk Utility to begin scanning (and repairing) your selected hard drive's bad sectors. Once the Disk Utility finishes repairing your drive, you should see a pop-up explaining what was repaired. If you don't see any repairs listed, your hard drive doesn't have any bad sectors to repair. For each time that a repair (or series of repairs) is listed, run Disk Utility again to scan for further issues. Once Disk Utility no longer reports repairs upon completing the scan, your Mac's hard drive is fixed.

TL;DR in English: Connect the drive to your computer if necessary. Click Go. Click Utilities. Open Disk Utility. Select a hard drive. Click the First Aid tab. Click Run when prompted. Wait for the repairs to complete. Run Disk Utility again.

Before buying frogs, check out the specimens at multiple pet stores. Different stores have different quality standards regarding the frogs they source, and how well they care for them once they are in the shop. A happy, healthy frog will be easier to keep and will have a much longer lifespan.  Look for a bright green coloring. A healthy American tree frog will be a light lime green to a dark olive or emerald green, with a creamy white to yellow stripe on their sides and creamy white belly. They will change color slightly as a means of camouflage and to indicate mood changes. Look for frogs that have bright eyes and seem alert. Avoid frogs with brown spots, dull skin, or dry skin. Extreme changes in color, like turning yellow-green or dark brown, can indicate stress or illness. Wild caught (WC) frogs are likely to carry disease, which will spread to your other frogs. Wild caught frogs also suffer from stress in captivity, so it is cruel to keep them. Wild caught frogs may also be very old, so their remaining lifespan will be quite short. If you want to buy a new type of frog, you'll need to set up an entirely different vivarium habitat for it. Different species of frogs also have different care needs.  Certain varieties of frogs are dangerous when housed with other types, which will be very stressful to your frog. Frogs are also cannibalistic so a small frog could be lunch for a larger frog. Your tree frog does not need love and affection. These are observational animals and thus do not like to be held. A frog's skin is very delicate and the oils on your skin can be very harmful to them. It isn't necessary to know your frog's sex, but the males tend to be a lot noisier than the females. If you will be keeping your frog in your bedroom, try to purchase a female frog.  Males are usually smaller than females and have yellow or greenish-yellow throats. At about 1 year of age, males will begin to call. The call gradually becomes louder and louder, and lasts about 20 seconds. Females are usually larger than males,...

TL;DR in English: Shop around. Always buy captive bred (CB) frogs. Keep only one species of frog in each habitat. Always wear gloves. Determine your frog's sex. Quarantine new frogs.

Great! You made it. Now it's time to start training! This will probably be around a week's time. You'll have different expectations depending on your role or roles received. If you're a prominent character from a movie, they'll ask you to know the movie (and your character) like the back of your hand. We're talking quoting-the-entire-thing-from-memory back of your hand. How they move and interact, too! If you're a suited character, they'll have you concentrating more on mannerisms and the handwriting. After all, if a child gets two Goofy autographs, they gotta look the same! All times. They have to be animated and brought to life even when it seems like no one's looking (though someone is always looking). That means when a child asks you, Pocahontas, what your opinion on the Internet is, you must respond with, "..Inter...net? What is this Internet of which you speak, young one?" Even if they say, "Hey, look! Goofy!" Goofy is not in your world. That's a talking dog! Woah! Disney can get pretty serious about this. From your words to frowning too much, they can get on you about it. Of all the rules, this is the most important. And it makes sense! If you don't keep up the magic, you'll ruin it for the kids who have been waiting their entire lives to experience the Disney magic. Apart from the above golden rule, there are a whole bunch of other ones, too. No sitting, strict break times, no saying no to pictures or autographs, etc. and so forth. So play nice and listen to 'em! Most of them are there for a reason. Unfortunately, being a Disney character isn't all fun and games (no job is). The pay isn't phenomenal (you get to dress up, isn't that incentive enough?) and there's a definite pecking order a la mean girls ("faces" before "furs"). But many workers say that even after months or years of working there, they still feel the Disney magic. At the end of the day, you are creating something beautiful for the people at the park. The children there truly believe they're in a magical, wonderful place and they are....

TL;DR in English: Start your training. Be your character at all times. Play by the rules. Be magical.

When the excitement of the moment rushes over you, it’s easy to move your mouth forward too quickly. If you go too fast, you may actually hit your mouth against the other person’s mouth causing pain for both of you. Don’t be afraid to lean forward slowly to make sure you connect just right. If touching the hair doesn’t feel quite right, you can also place a hand on the shoulder. This type of touching is just a way to help steady yourself and the other kisser. Not tilting your head the right way is a common mistake. In general, people are more likely to lean to the right. This may not prove effective every time, but the odds are good. (Which way to lean is also a good topic for the pre-kiss talk!) Since this kiss is on a dare, it’s likely that you will not know the person you’re kissing very well. It is best to start out slowly and not be too aggressive. Don’t use your tongue unless you feel your partner initiate it. If the kiss is going well, it’s okay to let it last a little while. If you start to feel uncomfortable, or you can tell the other person is, go ahead and end the kiss. It seems obvious, but how the kiss ends is important. Don’t pull away too quickly. If the kiss went on for a while, pulling away and then giving a light, short kiss is a good way to end it.

TL;DR in English: Move in for the kiss slowly. Place your hand on the back of the head and pull it forward gently. Tilt your head to the right. Be gentle. Kiss for the right amount of time. End the kiss.

The first paragraph is your introduction to the work, and you should give the basic information about it in this paragraph. This information will include the author’s or creator’s name(s), the title of the work, and the date of its creation.  For a work of fiction or a published work of journalism or research, this information is usually available in the publication itself, such as on the copyright page for a novel. For a film, you may wish to refer to a source such as IMDb to get the information you need. If you're critiquing a famous artwork, an encyclopedia of art would be a good place to find information on the creator, the title, and important dates (date of creation, date of exhibition, etc.). The type of context you provide will vary based on what type of work you’re evaluating. You should aim to give the reader some understanding of what issues the creator or author may have been responding to, but you don’t need to provide an exhaustive history. Just give your reader enough information to be able to understand the rest of your critique.  For example, if you’re assessing a research article in the sciences, a quick overview of its place in the academic discussion could be useful (e.g., “Professor X’s work on fruit flies is part of a long research tradition on Blah Blah Blah.”) If you are evaluating a painting, giving some brief information on where it was first displayed, for whom it was painted, etc., would be useful. If you are assessing a novel, it could be good to talk about what genre or literary tradition the novel is written within (e.g., fantasy, High Modernism, romance). You may also want to include details about the author’s biography that seem particularly relevant to your critique. For a media item, such as a news article, consider the social and/or political context of the media outlet the item came from (e.g., Fox News, BBC, etc.) and of the issue it is dealing with (e.g., immigration, education, entertainment). This element should consider what the thesis or purpose of the work is....

While you can crush the Oreos while they're at room temperature, the filling may gum up the blades of your blender or food processor. To quickly crush the Oreos, freeze them first. Simply lay the whole Oreos on a baking sheet and stick them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Put the frozen cookies right into a blender or food processor. Keep in mind that you'll probably need to blend more cookies than you think to get the amount of crumbs you'll need for a recipe. For example, if you need 1 cup (100 g) of crushed Oreos, place 1 cup (or about 12 whole cookies) of whole Oreos in the food processor. Depending on how much crushed Oreos you'll need, you may need to crush the cookies in batches so they'll fit in your food processor. Put the lid on the blender or food processor and pulse the cookies 5 to 10 times. Depending on how powerful your blender or food processor is, the Oreos should become crumbs. If your blender is deep, the cookies may become stuck underneath the blade. Stop the machine and either push the cookies closer to the blades or use a wooden spoon to stir and dislodge any stuck cookies before you continue to crush them.

TL;DR in English: Freeze the Oreos. Place the Oreos in a blender or food processor. Pulse the Oreos until they're crushed.

If you wake up before you'd like, resist the urge to get up. Don't move at all, not even to open your eyes or scratch your nose. If you let the initial discomfort pass, you can usually drift back to sleep. While lying still, take deep breaths through your nose. Try the 4-7-8 pattern to relax yourself:  Count to four slowly as you inhale through your nose. Hold as you count to seven. Exhale as you count to eight, through your mouth. Repeat until you fall asleep. Silently tell yourself that you'll fall back into restful slumber. If you are thinking about what you have to do, or worrying about your inability to sleep in, you'll be less relaxed and more likely to fail. If you've waited patiently but still can't fall back asleep, sit up and do something to relax. This is especially useful if you are feeling anxious about your inability to sleep. Read a relaxing book, listen to quiet music, or stand up and stretch. Return to bed within fifteen minutes. . Some people suffer from temporary paralysis when they wake up, aware of their surroundings but unable to move. This is harmless, but often accompanied by terror or even hallucinations. Following the advice above for restful sleep reduces the odds of this happening. If you still have these experiences, take additional precautions:  Sleep on your side, not your back. If you wake up on your back anyway, try sewing a sock on the back of your pajamas and filling it with a tennis ball. During a paralysis episode, try to move your fingers, toes, and tongue. Some people can even have an "out of body" experience by imagining themselves standing up. Whenever you have a nightmare or sleep paralysis episode, document it in a journal. This can give you the psychological distance you need to overcome your fear.

TL;DR in English: Lie still in bed. Take deep breaths. Imagine yourself sleeping. Take a short break. Avoid sleep paralysis

You can buy scissors meant for hair cutting at a beauty supply store. Don't just use paper or nail scissors - they're too dull for your hair and will make awkward cuts. Make a conservative estimate of where you want your bangs to fall. Remember, you can always trim more, but growing back the hair that you didn't mean to cut takes a lot longer. Secure non-fringe hair so that it's away from your face and out of the danger zone.  If necessary, use a comb to part your bangs away from the rest of your hair. Splash a bit of water on the hair, or use a spray bottle.  They'll cut more easily wet, and you can do a touch-up once they dry. Grab a section of hair between the index and middle fingers of your non-dominant hand. Drag your fingers down so that they're resting just above where you want to make a cut. Put your scissors close to your fingers (so that they're almost parallel) and cut slowly. Your fingers (and the hair they're holding) should remain stable as the trimmed hair falls away. If you want your bangs to be the same length all the way across, make sure they match up.  On each side, grab a strand between the thumb and forefinger of each hand.  Pull your fingers down slowly and at the same pace. If one hand runs out of hair before the other, you need to trim a bit to match up the sides. Do this until you're satisfied that the lengths are even. If you want your bangs to sweep to the side, comb them in the direction that you want them to go.  Tip your head forward slightly, so that your bangs fall away from your face.  Put your scissors in the direction you want your bangs to run. Starting near the part, position the scissors where you want the shortest part of your bangs.  For side swept bangs, they'll get a bit longer as you go on.  Because of this, angle your scissors slightly downward. Make short, small cuts across your bangs.  The lengths should be a bit choppy, but not overly so.  Aim to cut sections that are about 0.5 inch (12 mm) wide. When your bangs dry, touch them up.  Ruffle the hair a bit, and...

TL;DR in English: Get a sharp pair of scissors. Decide how short you're going to trim. Pull back the rest of your hair. Wet your bangs. Measure where you want to cut. Trim the hair beneath your fingers. Make sure your sides match up. Cut side swept bangs (optional).

Your car’s FMV is time-specific, meaning that it can change if you take months or even years to donate or sell your vehicle. Every month or so re-visit the estimate websites and enter in your car’s information to get an up-to-date FMV. You may also want to change your car’s asking price based on this new estimate. For example, you may find that the FMV for a convertible might actually go up during the warmer months, as they are more in demand. You can do this yourself or you can take it to a detailing place. If you can remove any imperfections, such as stains on the upholstery, then this will increase your car’s value. If you have a few dings on the exterior, buy touch-up paint and make these corrections, too. Professional detailing can be costly. Weigh the benefits of a boosted FMV versus the out-of-pocket cost for cleaning. If your car is newer or collectible, take it a local, trusted mechanic and ask them to evaluate it for any issues. Then, decide if the cost of fixing these problems will boost your FMV up enough to warrant the expense. Even making minor repairs, such as replacing the window wipers, might pay off if you can report a higher condition rating for your vehicle.

TL;DR in English: Adjust your FMV if you take a while to sell your car. Clean your car on the inside and out. Pay a mechanic to assess and fix any mechanical problems.

After installing, tap the "Open" button. Alternatively, you can go through your app drawer and find the app icon there. Tap to open. Upon entering the app, tap on “Select Weaphone.”  Tap on the + or - buttons or swipe to scroll through the available weaphones. Tap on the weaphone of your choice. Depending on the weaphone, loading will require you to swipe the magazine onto the weaphone’s loading slot. You can slap the bottom of your device with your palm  to insert the magazine like you would a real weapon. Cock the weapon by locating the cocking mechanism, the placement of which depends on the type of weapon you chose.  Pistols will require you to pull back the slide to cock the weapon; automatic weapons will require you to do the same. Release the safety on the weapon by turning the safety knob to the desired firing rate. Pistols will only allow for semiautomatic. Once the safety is released, pull the trigger to fire.
