Your wheel wells are a common trouble spot for rust developing in a vehicle.  Because they tend to be dirty and difficult to see clearly, people often neglect to inspect them.  Most tire manufacturers recommend that you rotate your tires every 6,000 miles (10,000 km), so as you remove the wheel from your vehicle to rotate it to another wheel well, use a flashlight to check in the well for rust.  Check the areas your bumpers attach to the vehicle each time you rotate your tires as well.  If there is too much dirt or mud in the wheel well to inspect for rust, use a hose to spray the area out, then check again. Use rotating your tires as a reminder to check your bumpers for rust as well.  Older vehicles with metal bumpers sometimes rust faster than the body of the vehicle. Your vehicle is most likely to rust where two pieces of metal meet, particularly if there is the potential for them to rub.  Rubbing will wear away the protection provided by the paint, allowing rust to form.  Walk around your vehicle and inspect the areas where components meet such as in the door frame, where the hood meets the fenders, and around the trunk.  Open the doors, hood and trunk while you inspect your vehicle for rust. Look for signs that the paint is bubbling, as rust may be developing beneath bubbled up paint. The underside of your car or truck often takes the most punishment, and is therefore more likely to rust.  If you live in an area that snows in the winter, salt and other chemicals used to treat snow and ice on the roads may increase the likelihood of rust developing beneath your car.  Check beneath your car during oil changes or as you rotate your tires for signs of rust developing.  Look beneath your vehicle for rust while changing your oil.  Never climb under your vehicle without using jack stands. Your vehicle is designed to withstand most things regular weather can throw at it.  Paint, clear coats and plastic trim pieces are all intended to protect the metal on your vehicle from rusting, but over time these forms of...

TL;DR in English: Inspect your wheel wells and bumpers. Look for signs of rust where body components meet. Inspect the bottom of your vehicle regularly. Don’t allow water to sit in or on the vehicle.

Find alternatives to stealing that give you a high or a focus but that don't create more harm in your life. This could include hobbies, activities, volunteering, helping others, making things, growing plants, caring for animals, writing, painting, studying, becoming an activist for a cause you believe in, or many other wonderful alternatives to stealing. Whatever you choose, make choices that are beneficial for you and that aren't simply about swapping one disorder for another (such as sedating yourself with alcohol). et active. If stealing is filling a void in your life, fill it with activities. Take up sport or exercise, take up a hobby, or start volunteering. Instead of resorting to stealing as a way of filling in your time, use your time more productively and beneficially. This will lift your self-esteem, create renewed energy, and remove boredom. It will stop you from stealing for a lack of better things to do, or a sense of purposelessness. Just keep yourself busy and the rest will follow. If you've been stealing out of survival need or a sense of deprivation as well as from emotional triggers, having a more steady, certain stream of income might alleviate your desire or "need" to steal. Moreover, the security and routine of having a job if you don't have one, can restore a sense of responsibility and self-esteem that might be missing in your life. This step may not be relevant to you if you already have enough money, a job, or money isn't the issue, but if a toxic relationship with money is at the heart of your problem, earning your own secure source can be helpful. Use the knowledge you gain from the writing therapy to start tackling the emotions and feelings that are triggering your need to steal.  Tackle your anger, your confusion, your sadness, your distress, and so forth. Acknowledge your original feelings and find new ways to deal with them other than through stealing. Make notes of new ways to distract, entertain and amuse yourself. What sorts of new thoughts and actions are you discovering you...

Most businesses start with one compelling idea — whether it's a service people need, a product that would make life easier, or something that combines both.The business world is full of great ideas (and many not-so-great ones). What will set yours apart is whether you can find a niche need to fill.   You don’t necessarily have to do something revolutionary or brand-new to be successful. You just have to be better at something than your competitors.  You will likely be more successful if you do something you know and love. Going into computer programming might make your business very marketable, but if your heart’s not in it you won’t have the energy to keep yourself going.  If you’re having trouble thinking of an idea, create a list of things about your target market, such as places they shop and things they purchase. Narrow the list down to about three items, keeping cost, manufacturing time, and popularity in mind.  Find the easiest, most realistic product you can offer. The key to starting a business is to know whether there is a demand for your product or service. Is what you can offer something that is not being done as well as it could be? Is it a need that doesn’t have enough supply to support demand?  There are many sources of free industry information. Search online for industry and trade associations in your target market and read the articles and press releases they post. You can also get valuable demographic information from census data.  The U.S. Small Business Administration has a website with excellent suggestions on how to come up with venture ideas, conduct market research, how to write a business plan, and how to recruit investors. It is an invaluable source of reliable information if you’re starting a business. You can have the greatest product or service in the world, but if nobody wants to pay you for it, your business will crash and burn. Talking to others will also help you prepare to persuade investors. Ask for honest feedback when you talk to potential customers. Your friends may try...

Have you ever had someone tell you that a certain color looks great with your eyes? The color of your clothes and jewelry can do a lot to make your eyes stand out. Figure out which items in your wardrobe enhance your features, and wear them when you want your eyes to look especially sexy.  Try colors that are the opposite color of your eyes on the  color wheel. For example, if you have green eyes, red will make them pop. Or choose colors that are in the same color family as your eyes to enhance them. For example, gold makes brown eyes look warm and inviting, and purple makes black eyes sparkle. . When your eyes are puffy, they look smaller than normal, and you might appear to be tired or ill. If you tend to wake up with puffy eyes and dark circles, there are measures you can take to make your eyes look bright and pretty again.  Put cold teabags or cucumbers on your eyes. It will help the puffiness go down. Try rubbing ice cubes wrapped in a dishtowel over your eyes for a few moments. Moisturize around your eyes to keep the skin supple. Your dietary habits have a huge effect on your eye appearance. First and foremost, stay hydrated so your eyes never look dry and irritated. You should also be eating plenty of vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables in order to keep your eyes healthy and bright. Carrots, sweet potatoes and mangoes, which are full of vitamin A, are especially good for your eyes.  On the other hand, avoid drinking too much alcohol or coffee, since these beverages are dehydrating and can make your eyes look puffy. Same goes for very salty foods. When it comes to having sexy eyes, nothing helps like beauty sleep. Aim to get eight hours of sleep every night so you wake up fresh and bright. Your body needs this time to renew itself, and when you don't get sleep, your eyes the first place to show your exhaustion.  For the times when staying caught up on sleep is impossible, use eye drops to help your eyes feel fresh. If you're sleep-deprived, don't make matters worse by being dehydrated, too; remember to...

Study in a distraction-free environment. Make time to practice each day. Learn the logic and process involved in solving a problem. Work out a problem one step at a time. Review incorrect answers carefully. Check your answers.

When a number is multiplied by itself any repeated number of times, you can use an exponent as a shortcut. The exponent shows the number of times that the base is being multiplied. This rule applies to any base, whether it is a number, a variable, or even a mathematical expression. Look at the following examples:  2∗2∗2=23{\displaystyle 2*2*2=2^{3}} 5∗5∗5∗5=54{\displaystyle 5*5*5*5=5^{4}} 7∗7=72{\displaystyle 7*7=7^{2}} 10∗10∗10∗10∗10∗10∗10=107{\displaystyle 10*10*10*10*10*10*10=10^{7}} x∗x∗x=x3{\displaystyle x*x*x=x^{3}} (x+2)(x+2)(x+2)=(x+2)3{\displaystyle (x+2)(x+2)(x+2)=(x+2)^{3}} When numbers with exponents are multiplied by each other, you can represent the result easily by adding the exponents together. The base number remains unchanged. This rule only applies if the bases are the same. See these examples:  32∗34=3(2+4)=36{\displaystyle 3^{2}*3^{4}=3^{(2+4)}=3^{6}} 54∗51=5(4+1)=55{\displaystyle 5^{4}*5^{1}=5^{(4+1)}=5^{5}} 103∗103=10(3+3)=106{\displaystyle 10^{3}*10^{3}=10^{(3+3)}=10^{6}} x5∗x2=x(5+2)=x7{\displaystyle x^{5}*x^{2}=x^{(5+2)}=x^{7}} (a−3)2∗(a−3)4=(a−3)(2+4)=(a−3)6{\displaystyle (a-3)^{2}*(a-3)^{4}=(a-3)^{(2+4)}=(a-3)^{6}}  34∗25=34∗25{\displaystyle 3^{4}*2^{5}=3^{4}*2^{5}}…. (Because the bases are different, there is no change.) When numbers with exponents are divided, you can find the result by subtracting exponents. The base number remains unchanged. This rule only applies if the bases are the same. See these examples:  3632=3(6−2)=34{\displaystyle {\frac {3^{6}}{3^{2}}}=3^{(6-2)}=3^{4}} 5853=5(8−3)=55{\displaystyle {\frac {5^{8}}{5^{3}}}=5^{(8-3)}=5^{5}} x10x4=x(10−4)=x6{\displaystyle {\frac {x^{10}}{x^{4}}}=x^{(10-4)}=x^{6}}  x5y4=x5y4{\displaystyle {\frac {x^{5}}{y^{4}}}={\frac {x^{5}}{y^{4}}}}…. (Because the bases are different, there is no change.) Whenever a base number has a negative exponent, that number should be read as the reciprocal of the base. Thus, (12)−1=2{\displaystyle ({\frac {1}{2}})^{-1}=2}. The negative exponent does not make the number negative. If the negative...

TL;DR in English: Use exponents to show repeated multiplication. Add exponents together to show expanded multiplication. Subtract exponents to show division. Write negative exponents as a reciprocal. Use the power rule for exponents raised to exponents. Write fractional exponents as radicals.

Heat is the main culprit of dry, frizzy hair, and hairdryers can wreak havoc on your beautiful curls. Fortunately, because your hair is so short, it should not take very long for your curls to air-dry.  If your hair is soaking wet, pat it dry with a microfiber towel or an old T-shirt. Avoid rubbing your hair with a towel, since this can create frizz. If you must blow dry your hair, use a diffuser to prevent voluminous frizz. Avoid detangling your hair with a regular hair brush or fine-toothed comb since they can create frizz. Instead, work a wide-toothed comb through your hair. Start by combing out the ends and gradually work your way to the roots to prevent additional tangles. In a pinch, you can also detangle your hair by running your fingers through your curls. How much styling mousse you use depends on how short your hair is. Start with a dime-sized amount, then add more as needed. Work the mousse into your hair evenly from root to tip. You can also experiment with curling gels, creams, and setting lotions. You can deep-condition your curls with keratin-based treatments or masks. Apply the conditioner to your hair, give it time to penetrate the hair shaft, then rinse it out according to the instructions on the label.  Hydration helps your curls look silky and defined. You can buy keratin-based treatments in salons and beauty supply stores.

TL;DR in English: Let your hair air-dry, if possible, to prevent frizz. Detangle damp hair with a wide-toothed comb. Apply styling mousse while your hair is damp to define your curls. Deep-condition your hair every 1-2 weeks to combat dryness and frizz.

While most Google buildings are closed to non-employees, you can easily explore the outside of Google's headquarters without trouble. Be ready to walk a lot, as the entire campus stretches over more than a dozen acres of land. Note recognizable landmarks to track where you've been and where you're heading.  For instance, observe the addresses of different buildings as well as distinctive sculptures or signs. Wear comfortable shoes to help you trek across the campus without hurting your feet. Google buildings are restricted to employees and their guests, but you can visit the central point of Google's headquarters. Find these buildings west of Charleston Park. While there are other buildings on the campus, they are all more spaced out and have less going on in them than these ones.  Charleston Park is a large green area in the city. Make this the first stop on your Googleplex tour, as it is easy to access from the Google parking lots. This cluster of buildings is found near a volleyball court and small green area. In addition the the Google head office, these buildings include Google Buildings 41, 42, and 43. A life-size T-Rex sculpture was placed on the campus by Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page as a reminder not to let the company go the way of the dinosaurs. Visit this iron sculpture as part of your Google headquarters tour. Locate the T-Rex, nicknamed "Stan" by Google employees, in front of the main Google buildings. Note that "Stan" is sometimes accessorized with fun items like pink flamingos by Google employees. Google's android statue garden adds a colorful sculpture every time a new operating system is developed. These sculptures are candy-themed, making  them fun and whimsical. Find the garden on the South East point of Landings Drive, a looping street running through the campus.   For instance, you can take a selfie with a jelly bean-filled Android robot, which commemorates the version 4.1 operating system. The garden is located in front of the Android building, which features a large...

If you're not good at math yet, you need to make sure you're studying in an environment that allows for concentration. Before you sit down to practice, find a place free of outside stimuli that can cause a distraction.  Find an area where there is not a lot of noise or commotion. A quiet coffee shop could work, or a desk in your bedroom. Minimize distractions in front of you. Disconnect from the internet and put away your phone. If you like music while studying, go for instrumental music. Music with lyrics, or music that's very loud, can be distracting when you're studying. There's no real secret to becoming good at mathematics. It all comes down to dedication. If you want to improve your math score, hard work is key. You will have to practice every day until you start to understand the underlying concepts behind math.  Stick to a schedule. See where you can fit in some study time every day. Maybe you usually have some time in the early evenings. You could plan to study math from 6 to 7 every night after dinner. Try not to study for hours and hours straight. This may create stress. Study for an hour or so each night. Math is sequential. Many people feel they have to memorize concepts and formulas or map out the answer in their head before they begin. This is not productive. Instead, try to understand the concepts behind math. If you see how and why an equation works, you'll be able to remember it more easily in a pinch.  Math theory may seem complicated, but with a little hard work, you can begin to figure it out. In math classes, do not hesitate to ask why. Why does the Pythagorean Theorem work? How does the quadratic equation work on a logical level? Understanding the underlying concepts is far more productive than simple memorization. If you understand something in depth, you'll have an easier time working with it. You'll be better equipped to check your answer if you understand why an equation makes sense. Doing math, you want to see how to discover an answer. Instead of pre-planning how you'll figure out...

Stick to your daily hygiene routine. Pay attention to your skin and how much you sweat. Wash your hands regularly.

If you’re seeing bees inside the house (or if you’ve spotted, say, carpenter bees burrowing into wooden portions of your house), consider this to be a situation where it’s appropriate to get rid of them. Any damage they may cause to the structure will be minimal in the beginning, but expect the risk and extent of damage to increase over time if left untreated.  Carpenter bees will continue to expand their nests throughout wooden structures if left alone. Honeybees create honeycombs. These can become quite heavy and possibly damage surrounding areas. The honey may also attract other animals. Killing a single bee is relatively easy, but expect to deal with a whole nest of them to be a much more involved and lengthy process. Keep in mind that if it isn’t done correctly and thoroughly, you’ll most likely end up with a new batch of bees appearing shortly. Also remember:  Bees are usually happy to ignore you right up until you start messing with their nest. And though a single bee sting is pretty bearable, you may be faced with dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of the little guys when you attack them at the source.  Depending on the type of bee you have, the method for removing them may vary. Professionals may use smoke, pesticides, or other means of extraction for the bees themselves, plus using the second hive to extract honey from the left-behind nest. Removal of the nest itself may also require carpentry work to gain access and repair damage to structures. First, determine if the bees’ nest is technically on public property instead of your own. If so, contact your local government and report it so they can deal with it. If not, call them anyway, since they may offer free services to have the nest removed, depending on your area.  What free services (if any) are available will depend on your area. They may include extraction of both bees and nests or only the bees themselves. They may or may not include repairs to any structural damage. Free services are more likely to be available if the nest is in a natural...

TL;DR in English: Take care of bees nesting in your home. Have professionals take care of them. Contact your local government first. Comparison-shop before going with “free services. Call beekeepers before exterminators to remove honeybees. Contact bee specialists rather than general pest control companies.

This will help you decide where you should place your troops. Your target will depend greatly on the layout of the base and its defenses.  If going for resource collectors, look for resource collectors that are placed outside the walls, stacked together, or outside of the range of defenders. If you are going for storage, look for the easiest way to reach the storage buildings and for storages that are bunched together. Select the desired troop by tapping on the troop icon at the bottom. Deploy the troops at the enemy's base by tapping anywhere on the base. Do not deploy troops all at one place, or mortars will destroy them in one single hit. Identify the weakest sides of the base, or the closest locations to any storages or resource collectors, and deploy your barbarians. Once your barbarians have started taking fire from defenders, send in your archers to start attacking everything in sight. Use your Wall Breaker to clear a path for your barbarians to pour through. After you have deployed your barbarians and archers, and a path has been cleared, send in your Goblins. They will make a beeline for the nearest resource buildings, so make sure you deploy them in a location that takes advantage of this. If resource collectors are placed outside the walls, hit them with your troops. If the enemy's defense is in the range and it killed your troops, deploy a stronger troop like a giant first so that it absorbs the damage done by defense and you can deploy attacking troops.

TL;DR in English: Determine if you're going for the resource collectors, the storage facilities, or both. Understand how to deploy your troops. Send your Barbarians in first. Send in the goblins after the barbarians. Go for the gold.

When you’re ready to start dyeing your clean and dry hair, lift up a small section of hair and lay a rectangular piece of saran wrap or foil behind it. Place the wrap or foil right at the root of your hair and use your hand to support it from behind.  Think about how many streaks you want to add to your hair, and cut out 1 piece of saran wrap or foil for each streak before you get started. If you’re creating narrow highlights, try picking up and painting a few thin strands on the same piece of saran wrap or foil. Pick up a dollop of the pre-mixed Kool-Aid dye paste with the brush and apply it directly to your hair. Brush it on, working from the roots to the tips, until the whole section is covered. Support the strands from behind with your hand that’s beneath the piece of saran wrap or foil. To prevent the dye from getting onto other parts of your hair, fold the saran wrap or foil tightly around each dyed strand. If your hair is longer than the piece of wrap or foil, fold up the tips of your hair into a little bundle close to your roots before folding up the foil. Once you’ve painted strand of hair and encased in saran wrap or foil, flip it up so it sits off of the under layers of hair. Slide on a hair pin onto the base or middle of the little packet of hair to secure it at your crown. If you’re using saran wrap, try using a hair tie to create little bundles out of each section. The easiest way to add streaks is to start at your crown and pin back each foil-wrapped section as you work down your head.  Once you’ve completed as many streaks as you want, double-check that all the wrapped sections are secure. If you have a lot of streaks, consider wrapping your hair in a plastic bag or with a few long pieces of saran wrap to hold them in place while you wait. Depending on the natural color and thickness of your hair and the deepness of the color you want to achieve, leave the dye on for as long as you want.  If you want a really saturated hue, leave the dye on for 5 hours. If you have light hair and you just want...

TL;DR in English: Lay a piece of saran wrap or aluminum foil behind 1 section of hair. Use a highlighting brush to paint 1 in (2.5 cm) sections of hair with Kool-Aid dye. Fold the piece of saran wrap or foil around the dye-coated strand. Secure each wrapped section with a hair pin or hair tie. Continue painting dye onto small sections of hair until you have enough streaks. Leave the dye on your hair for between 15 minutes and 5 hours. Rinse the dye out of your hair under cold running water.

Place parchment paper or a silicone pad across the baking sheet to prevent sticking. Beat until soft peaks form. Continue beating until the egg white peaks turn stiff. Fold into the egg whites. Mix to combine. Fold into the egg white mixture. For each cookie, you'll need two level teaspoonfuls of batter. Leave room between each of the cookies to allow for slight spreading. Bake for 6 to 7 minutes or until the edges appear golden. While the cookies are baking, oil the handle of a wooden spoon; this will be used to roll the cookies up into sticks. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 2 to 3 seconds. Slide each rolled cookie off and onto a wire cooling rack. If they cool too quickly to be rolled as you're working through them, simply place the sheet back into the warm oven (no longer switched on) for up to a minute to just warm. Then remove and repeat until all cookies have been rolled into sticks. If wished, tie a small gold or silver cord around each cinnamon stick and tie in a bow. This is optional but very pretty, especially for gift-giving or a seasonal party.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC. Beat the egg whites in a small bowl. Add the sugar gradually to the beaten egg whites. Mix the flour and cinnamon together. Stir the oil of cinnamon into the melted butter. Use a teaspoon to transfer the batter to the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly across the sheet. Place in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven. Working quickly and with care, wrap the cooling cookies around the oiled spoon handle. Keep making the rolled cookies. Finish up.

The best way to maintain good hygiene over a period is to make it a routine that you do every day. Alter your schedule so you are leaving enough time to take care of your hygiene.  A simple morning routine would include waking up at 7 a.m. to brush your teeth, wash your face, and put on deodorant before going off to school. Once you get home you could take a shower at 6 p.m. and brush and floss your teeth right before bed. Your body changes as you go through puberty and it means that different things are happening to you. As you go through puberty most people sweat more and their skin can get more oily.  If you notice that you're sweating more, start applying underarm antiperspirant to reduce your sweating. If you notice that your face is oily, wash it more regularly with a facial soap meant for oily skin. Get into the habit of washing your hands after going to the bathroom, playing outside, or handling anything with bacteria. To prevent getting sick or spreading germs to the food you're eating, make sure to wash your hands before and after you eat as well. Consider carrying a bottle of hand sanitizer with you. Note that this does not replace proper hand washing!

TL;DR in English:


Smile and make eye contact. Break the ice. Ask questions to get to know your date. Give honest answers. Give positive feedback. Respect the event's time constraints. Close speed dating sessions appropriately.

While facing the ball, lower your stick to the ground. Rest the stick's rounded edge on the ground and use it to stop the ball. You may need to step backwards a little to slow the ball before stopping it. Lean the stick forward to bring the ball to a stop. If you don't lean the stick forward slightly, the ball may roll over it and get past you. Trapping the ball allows you to control it so your passes and shots are more accurate. Be gentle when receiving the ball. Pretend it's an egg. Instead of breaking if you bump it too hard, the ball will roll away and the other team will get it. To practice, have someone else pass the ball to you until you feel comfortable stopping it. Position the ball in front of you and place your stick next to it. When the ball is on your left, flick the ball to your right. Then, twist the stick with your left hand until the flat side is to the right of the ball. Flick the ball back to your left and continue doing this for as long as you can.  Dribbling this way is excellent for keeping the ball in your possession as you move. Remember to always tap the ball with the flat side of the stick. Even experienced players can have a hard time mastering this technique. Try dribbling in place first. Once you have mastered that, walk up the field while dribbling. Face the ball and position it slightly ahead of you. Bring the head of your stick down towards the ball. As you make contact with the ball, bring your weight down on your front foot. Your front foot is the one closest to the spot where you want the ball to go.  A sweep pass or push is a basic pass that provides plenty of control and accuracy when you need to get the ball to a teammate. Keep 1 foot close to the ball and 1 foot behind you. When you move to hit the ball, bring your back foot forward to generate power. A sweep pass is similar to how you would hit a ball in mini golf. Follow through with your swing, but don't try to slap the ball. Remember that you are pushing the ball towards the target. A variation is to dig your stick...

TL;DR in English: Press your stick against the ground to trap a moving ball. Perfect the Indian dribble or reverse stick to move the ball upfield. Step towards the ball as you hit it to perform a sweep pass. Squat to perform a hook pass for balls further away from you. Bring your hands together to perform a slap shot.

Use a pencil to mark down the edge of a piece of paper. You should have a mark every 2 millimetres (0.079 in). You will need to use a ruler to accurately measure out 2 millimetres (0.079 in). Make enough marks to be roughly the length of your index finger. Cut the side of the paper that you marked on into a long, thin strip. This will allow you to slide the paper into a piece of glass tubing. The tubing should be open on both ends. Use a tube roughly the size of a drinking straw. If you are doing this at home and do not have a glass tube, you can substitute the glass tube with a clear straw. A colored straw would make it difficult to read the markings on your paper. Melt wax or glue to secure the paper on one side of the tube. Then, use the glue or wax to make an airtight seal on that side of the tube. Leave the other end open. The paper strip should be flush with the bottom of the tube. Use scissors to cut the strip. Be careful not to pull or tug on the strip or you might break it.

TL;DR in English: Mark your intervals. Cut a strip from the paper. Insert the strip of paper into a glass tube. Seal one end of the tubing. Cut any excess paper.

The stretch works best if you lie on the floor; do not perform the stretch lying on a bed or sofa. Rest on your back and stretch your legs out, letting your heels rest on the ground.  If the surface you’re lying on is hard or cold, you can lay down a blanket or a yoga mat. For a different angle to the stretch, lie on your stomach and prop yourself up on your elbows. Repeat the rest of the stretch motions, but keep your weight on your elbows and tuck your knee beneath your torso. For example, bend your left knee and draw it up towards your abdomen. While doing this, point your left foot towards the right side of your body. Reach down with your right hand and grasp your left ankle.  If you find this pose uncomfortable, you can also perform this stretch with your right foot resting on an inflated stability ball. Use your heel to pull the ball towards your hips when stretching your piriformis.  You can perform the stretch by bending either your right or left knee. It doesn’t matter which you start with. Once you have grabbed your left knee with your right hand, place your left hand just behind your left knee. You’ll use this hand to exert gentle pressure on your leg as you stretch the piriformis muscle. Exert a steady pressure on your left knee to move it gradually towards your right shoulder. Avoid pulling your knee sideways across your body. Stretch the piriformis slowly and gently. Hold the stretch for at least 5 seconds, and then release.  Keep your pelvis flat on the ground while stretching your piriformis. Do not roll your hips in the direction you’re pulling your knee. If you’re performing this stretch while propped on your elbows, tuck your left knee under your body and lean towards your left side. Then stretch your piriformis by leaning your weight forward over your elbows. This time, bend your right knee and grab the right ankle with your left hand. Place your right hand behind your knee and gently stretch the knee towards your left shoulder. As you improve your piriformis flexibility, you can hold the...

You can make a makeshift macadamia nutcracker with a vise grip, an iron bar to set the nut against, and a flat hammer.  Vise grips are common tools available at any hardware store. If you love macadamia nuts and plan to shell them often, it's worth buying a vise grip for this specific purpose (though you'll probably find other uses for it as well). Be sure the hammer has a flat end, rather than a round one. You'll need to exert force evenly on the nutshells. If you don't have an iron bar, any tough, metal surface will do. Other hard surfaces like marble, glass, concrete or wood could get damaged by the pounding, so make sure you're working over metal. Lie it up so that the seam of the nut is facing upward, rather than against the inside of the vise. Set the vise to grip it tightly. Hold the vise handles tightly and make sure you've got a good grip, since you don't want the nut to slip when you bring the hammer down. Try to hit it square on the seam so that it cracks cleanly. Let the hammer bounce back toward you as the nut cracks open.  You may have to try this a couple of times before you learn exactly how much force to exert. Letting the hammer bounce or pull back slightly is important, since it keeps the hammer from smashing the nut inside. The shell will fall away, and the intact nut is now ready to be popped into your mouth or  used in a recipe.

TL;DR in English: Gather tools. Grasp the nut in the vise. Place the gripped nut against the metal bar. Pound the nut with the hammer. Release the nut from the vise.

This will show confidence. Even if you don't feel confident, making an effort to appear confident is important in making a good first impression. You can start by exchanging names and give an open-ended prompt like, “So tell me about yourself.” This will get the conversation started so that you can quickly get to know each other. After your date tells you a bit about themselves, you can ask further questions. Keep in mind the questions that you prepared ahead of time, or come up with a new question based on the information your date told you. For example, if your date told you that he has a son, you could ask “How old is your son?” Of if your date told you that she is an actor, you could ask, “What's a typical day in the life of an actor?”  Don't ask too many questions. If it starts to feel like an interview, there probably isn't good chemistry between you. The goal is to have a natural, albeit hurried, conversation.  Be sure to ask the most important questions. Since time is limited, find out what really matters to you. The purpose of a speed date is to form an opinion based on not much more than a first impression. The only way to attract people who are genuinely interested in the real you is to present your real self to your dates. Otherwise, you are just wasting your own and your matches' time. Therefore, it is important to avoid saying things simply to impress the other person if it isn't true, like saying “I love mountain climbing too!” when you are terrified of heights. Disagree when necessary. It's ok if it doesn't work out with this person. The point of speed dating is simply to find a couple of people who might be potential matches for you. For example, if the other person says, “I love dogs and having pets is very important to me,” it is perfectly acceptable to admit that you're not a pet person. This is one of the most important ways to form a connection in a short amount of time. This will make the other person feel understood. It can be something very simple, such as, “That's awesome!” or...

Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and then line it with parchment paper. The spray will help the parchment paper to adhere to the baking sheet because the paper tends to curl up during longer baking times. Try to keep the sticks parallel to the work surface so that they don’t poke through the back of the cookie. With your reserved dough, make small patches. You may need to lightly moisten your dough with water so that the patches will stick. Gently press the edges of the patch down so that it blends with the surface of the cookie. Create an alternating pattern with the remaining sticks. For instance, the top cookie should be in the right hand corner of the baking sheet with the stick pointing to the left. Place the next cookie on the left side of the baking sheet, parallel to the first cookie, with the stick pointing right. Leave about 1” (2.5 centimeters) of space between each cookie stick. Watch them carefully throughout the process; the thicker cookies make the baking time a little trickier. You should remove them from the oven when the edges of the cookies begin to darken.  Transfer the cookie sticks to wire racks to cool. You will be able to fit more cookies onto the rack if you lay them out in the same alternating pattern that you used on the baking sheet.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Insert your lollipop sticks or wooden skewers into the base of your cookies. Patch up any places where your sticks protrude through the back of the cookie. Place the entire cookie stick onto the baking sheet. Continue laying out cookies onto your baking sheet in the alternating pattern. Bake the cookie sticks for 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the baked cookies to rest on the stovetop for 2 minutes. Loosen the cookies from the baking sheet with a spatula.

The 2016 Samsung J7 was released in four colors—black, white, gold, and rose gold. The 2015 model was only made in black, white, and gold. If the phone is not one of those colors, it’s not an original. The Samsung J7 has two Samsung logos—one on the front (above the screen at the center), and one on the back (at the center, but closer to the top than the bottom). The logos should not be stickers, and should not flake off when you rub them. Fake phone manufacturers are pretty good at making their phones look like the real thing, but one foolproof way of checking is to compare your phone to another of the same model. Try these short tests:  Locate and press the buttons on the phone. Are they in the same place on both phones? Do they feel the same when pressed? Stack the phones on top of one another—are they the same size? Look at their edges—a fake J7 is probably thicker than a real one. Turn the brightness on both phones to the max. Are the colors more bold on one than another? Samsung has a few “secret codes” that you can use for troubleshooting. These codes should only work on a Samsung phone.   *#7353#: A menu should appear, containing several options (Melody, Vibration, Speaker, Dimming, etc). If your phone is a Samsung J7, you will see this menu.  *#12580*369#: You should see the “Main version” screen, which shows a bunch of random numbers specific to your phone. If your phone is a Samsung, you’ll see this “Main version” screen.  *#0*#: You should see several gray square buttons (Red, Green, Blue, Receiver, Vibration, etc) on a white background. Again, if nothing happens, the phone is not a Samsung J7.

TL;DR in English: Look at the color of the phone. Inspect the Samsung logo. Compare the phone to a J7. Try entering Samsung codes into the dialer.

Before taking any action, especially if you are purchasing completely raw land, consider hiring professional legal help. Hiring a real estate attorney will ensure that your rights are protected during the bidding process for purchasing the land and during the financing process. A good attorney will also be able to help you with price negotiations. Before you can purchase your property, you will need to make an offer on the land and have that offer accepted by the seller. This process can be very simple, but can also follow a relatively complicated bidding process. For more information on the actual buying process for land, see How to Buy Raw Land. It may also be in your best interest to ask for an exclusive option on the property for a period of time so you can pursue financing, etc. Having an option is better than owning, since there is less money involved. Before submitting an offer on the land, be sure that you have the proper permits and any requisite insurance. Ask your lawyer for assistance in this matter. If your offer is accepted by seller, you now will have to find a way to finance your purchase. Start by contacting potential lenders like local banks and credit unions to request a loan interview. Meet with these lenders and present your land portfolio. With enough salesmanship and good credit, along with a good land portfolio, you might be able to get a loan through one of these institutions. With some land types, especially raw land parcels, it may be very difficult to secure funding from a financial institution. Luckily, there are a bevy of other financing options available. The land serves as collateral for loan; additional security might come from downpayment in place of other assets. Be aware that some financing options may be more expensive than borrowing from the bank, so consider your options before setting down any of the following paths.  One option is owner financing. This essentially allows you to gradually pay the seller of property directly, rather than going through a lending...

TL;DR in English: Consider hiring a lawyer. Make an offer on the land. Contact potential lenders. Consider other financing options. Compare your financing options. Choose a loan.

Prom can be expensive, awkward, and generally blown out of proportion. Movies, shows, and books make prom look cooler and more important than it often is. When you think about it, it’s really just a high school dance where you have to spend money on a limousine and fancy outfit. Even if people have fun at prom, realize that the event is usually blown out of proportion. You’re going to have a lot of major events to look forward to. As you get older, going to college, falling in love, getting a new job, and moving out of your family’s house are all exciting milestones that you’ll be able to look forward to. Between car rentals, fancy dresses, tuxedo rentals, tickets, and flowers, going to prom typically costs several hundred dollars. Since you saved yourself the money, put it towards something better! Put a couple of hundred dollars away for a car, spend it on a road trip with your friends, or use it to buy a new video game system or phone. You’ll be happy that you got to put the money towards something you wouldn’t have been able to buy otherwise. This will make missing prom feel like a good thing. If it’s really eating away at you, ask your parents or teachers about their experiences at prom. You’ll realize that most people don’t hold on to memories of prom because they aren’t that important in the big scheme of things. Even if they did enjoy their prom, ask them about how they often they think about it. The odds are good that they don’t spend every day thinking about a dance, and you shouldn’t either. As an adult, you’re going to remember your first day of college, your wedding, your first adult job, and the birth of your children. Few people hold on to memories of awkward dances and expensive tux rentals.

TL;DR in English: Realize that prom probably isn’t as great as it sounds. Spend the money you would have spent on prom on something better. Talk to your parents or teachers about their prom to get some more perspective.

Store the brown sugar in an airtight container. Soften brown sugar in the microwave. Place a piece of bread with the brown sugar.

Not everyone can achieve this through sunbathing, and constant sun exposure is not healthy for your skin, anyway. To create the appearance of a healthy, beachy glow, you can use a high-quality tan cream or spray and rub it into any areas that will be exposed--particularly the legs, arms, and shoulders. If you feel comfortable tanning, you can go the old-fashioned route of tanning in the sun. Just be sure to practice safe habits when out in the sun. One of the hallmarks of California style is youth. To make sure you appear as youthful as possible, keep your skin full, healthy, and moisturized. Invest in a good-quality skincare routine that wards off pimples and dry skin, while optimizing plump and smooth skin. One of the best way to moisturize is to use various oils. Experiment with different oils (starting with apricot kernel oil or coconut oil) to see which works best for your skin. In keeping with the notion of youth, California style usually relies more on good skin than a lot of makeup to look great. Rather than focusing on careful, meticulous makeup application, place your focus on making your bare skin look its absolute best. If you love wearing makeup, opt for a natural look, focusing on either your eyes or your lips, but not both. To make sure you skin is always at its best, treat it like a treasured friend. Always remove your makeup at the end of the day, apply moisturizer each morning and night after washing and toning, and wear SPF any time you know you'll be in the sun. All of these together will make sure your skin looks its best at any given moment.

TL;DR in English: Get a sun-kissed glow. Keep your skin full and moisturized. Avoid wearing too much makeup. Treat your skin kindly.

Once it's up and running, press the iTunes Store button on the Navigation bar on the right hand side of the screen. If you do not have an iTunes account, you will have to create one. Download iTunes from their website if you need to. It's free and the folks at Apple make it pretty straightforward. Once you've got the program on your computer, create an account and sign in. Your email should pop up on the left hand side of the bar along with "Music," "Movies," and all your other choices.  If you have a remaining balance, that, too, will pop up next to your email. Watch for that to change once you've registered your gift card. If a different account is logged in, click on the email being displayed and select "Sign Out." It'll then prompt you to sign in with a different email. There are two ways to do this:  On the panel on the right side, "Redeem" can be found under Quick Links. It's next to "Account," "Purchased, and "Support." Click on your email on the toolbar. It'll then give you the options of "Account," "Redeem," "Wish List," and "Sign Out." You may have to scratch off the grey box on the back of your card to reveal your 16-digit number. Each code tells Apple how much your card or certificate is worth. Once entered in correctly, a box will pop up telling you how much your account has been credited. Check on the iTunes gift card what country of iTunes it can be used on; they are not interchangeable.

It essential that you train your dog a command for when you want him to stop doing something. "Stop" or "leave it" are common commands — whichever you choose, make sure that you are consistent and that everyone in the household uses the same command. When you see your dog doing the unwanted behavior, first give the command, then immediately follow with action (taking away the item or moving your dog away from it). By giving the command first, then doing the corrective action, you will give your dog the opportunity to do what you want when he hears you say "leave it" and avoid an unpleasant consequence. Puppies explore their environment by mouthing everything in sight. While these are natural behaviors for a puppy, you also don't want her to think it's okay to bite people or chew on your shoes. Your dog will not know what is appropriate for her to chew unless you teach her.  Keep anything you don't want your puppy to destroy up and out of her reach (this includes trash, books, shoes, remote controls, glasses, dirty underwear, etc.). Have plenty of toys for her to play with and chew on, but make sure they are not indistinguishable from household items (your dog will not know the difference between an old sock you offer her to play with and a new sock she is not supposed to chew). Allow your puppy to mouth you, so long as it is gentle. When your puppy gives you a hard bite, give a high-pitched yelp, as though she's really hurt you, and let your hand go limp (don't jerk it away). Your dog should stop biting, at which point you should praise her for stopping. If she bites you hard again, repeat these steps. Do this no more than three times in a 15-minute time period.  Give your dog a chew toy when she wants to chew on fingers. If you find your puppy chewing on something she shouldn't be, take it away and give her a toy to chew instead. As you take the item away, say “leave it” and give her a toy to chew on.  Do not punish your dog after the fact. If you find an item that your dog destroyed while you were away,...

TL;DR in English: Teach the dog to stop bad behavior. Train your dog to stop biting and chewing. Teach the dog to sit. Teach your dog to not jump on people. Train your dog to lay down. Teach your dog to stay. Teach the dog to come when called.

Keeping the brush dry after a cleaning session is important to avoiding bacterial contamination. Check the area you are storing your brush and its container for adequate ventilation. You want air to flow to prevent bacteria from concentrating on the brush. This will accomplish two sanitary features. Firstly, it will allow the water and any other fluids to drain from the bristles with gravity. Also, the bristles will not be sitting in any bacteria collecting in the bottom of the container. Make sure the container you select is short enough to allow the toothbrush to lean so the bristles are well above the rim, but not so high it tips over. Whether you use a cup or rack-style container—you might want to put paper towels under the area you store the toothbrush to catch its drippings. This way you can dispose of the contaminated fluids without them contacting other surfaces. You don’t want the toothbrush bristles coming in contact with other contaminant sources such as a toilet, wall, or cabinet. Keep any containers two to three feet away from a toilet to avoid spray-contamination from flushing. Another good option is to keep toothbrushes inside the bathroom cabinet. You can put the brush in a holster that has a mounting that keeps it stationary on a wall. Purchase a mounting bracket and holder from a hardware store. Use a screwdriver to fasten the bracket to the wall near the back of the bathroom sink at least 2-3 feet away from the toilet, shower, and/or bathtub. Place the toothbrush holder onto the bracket by sliding it vertically into place. These holders usually have room for several brushes. Make sure the brushes don’t touch each other. There is also usually a center holder for a cup to hold accessories such as toothpaste. Make sure the toothbrush bristles don’t touch the center items either. The only time you should cover your toothbrush is when traveling. There are plenty of commercially available covers, and some even have antimicrobial features. Use the latter if available. Whichever you choose will...

TL;DR in English: Put the toothbrush in a dry place. Stand the toothbrush upright. Move the container away from other surfaces. Install a wall mounted toothbrush holder. Cover the toothbrush when mobile.

Put the brown sugar in an airtight container in your pantry. You can store the brown sugar at room temperature indefinitely, but it may harden over time as it dries out. If you don't have an airtight storage container, you can keep the brown sugar in a plastic food storage bag with a zipper. If you need to soften brown sugar quickly, put the lump of brown sugar into a microwave-safe bowl. Moisten a paper towel with water and lay it over the brown sugar. Microwave the brown sugar for 15 to 20 seconds and check to see if it's softened. If not, microwave it for another 15 to 20 seconds. If the brown sugar is so hard that it's hard to divide the lump into a bowl, add a few teaspoons of water to the sugar before you microwave it. You can also soften brown sugar by storing it with a piece of fresh bread for a few days. The moisture from the bread softens the sugar. Just be sure you remember to toss out the bread before too long because it will dry out. You could also place a slice or two of apple in the container to keep the brown sugar soft.

Do something fun to get your mind off your parents. If you need to cry or vent, make sure you're with a good friend who will understand. Even if you just hang out doing nothing, your friend's presence can do wonders for your mood. Spending time in the same car as your parents will make things awkward. If you live close to your school, walk or ride your bike there. Take the school bus or public transit if you can. If all else fails, try to get a ride with your friends. If you must ride with your parents, keep your headphones on for the whole ride. The time away from home will give you space and independence from your parents. Also, earning your own money will allow you to avoid asking your parents for theirs. Just make sure your job doesn't conflict with school, homework, or sleep. . Join a sports team that appeals to you. Get involved in school clubs. Volunteer in your community. You'll not only get space from your parents, you'll also build confidence and collect bonus points for college applications. The presence of your parents can add stress and eat into your study time. On the other hand, the quiet policy of most libraries will allow you to work without distractions. Study alone or meet up with a study group. You can also use online databases that you might not be able to use at home.

TL;DR in English: Spend more time with your friends. Find other ways to get to school. Get an after-school job. Participate in extra-curricular activities Study at the library.

Line a shallow, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.  You could also spray the baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray instead of using the aluminum foil. Do not use a baking sheet without sides. Use a serrated kitchen knife to cut the squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds, then cut each half into 3/4-inch (1.9-cm) slices.  Start with a clean acorn squash. If the squash had not yet been cleaned, scrub the skin with water and a vegetable brush until all visible dirt and debris has been removed. Use a rubber cutting mat if you have difficulty holding the squash still as you cut it. Dig out the seeds and stringy guts with a sturdy metal spoon or ice cream scoop. Arrange the slices of acorn squash in a single layer on your baking sheet. The pieces should be fairly spread out. Do not overlap. For best results, you should prevent the pieces from touching, as well. Drizzle the olive oil over the squash pieces and toss to coat. Then, add the thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss again to coat evenly. The salt and pepper can be done to taste, but if you feel uncertain about how much to use, try 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt and 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) ground black pepper. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the slices. The cheese should be as evenly distributed as possible. The squash should be golden brown and soft when finished. Let the squash cool for 2 or 3 minutes before serving the slices whole. Note that the skin is thin enough and nutritious enough to eat when cooked, but whether or not you eat the skin is a matter of individual taste.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Cut the squash into slices. Place the slices on your prepared baking sheet. Toss with seasoning. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 20 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

If you don't want to go to the trouble of buying the hardware to complete a single transfer project, many big stores with electronics departments will complete the process for a small fee. This offers less control over editing and care of the tapes, but requires little on your part other than delivery. It's also a good way to convert more obscure formats like 8mm film or Betamax. Walgreens, Costco, Walmart, imemories.com, Southtree, Target, CVS, and Sam's Club all offer this service for somewhere between $10 and $30 dollars a disc. Typically a single disc will hold two hours of VHS tape. If you want all of your daughter's VHS birthday tapes on one disc and your son's on another, make a note of this and include it with the package. Make sure all tapes are clearly labeled and that you have already made a copy of important tapes. Also be sure to make the staff aware of any fragility or damage on the tapes. Depending on where you drop the tapes off, there may be other custom editing options available. This is a great option for people with a small amount of personal material to transfer, avoiding the separate costs of blank discs, hardware, and software. There are also online services available that offer the same transfer options, though you'll have to ship the VHS tapes, which could be costly.

TL;DR in English: Take your tapes to be converted by the electronics department of a local box store. Deliver your tapes and your instructions. Wait a couple weeks and pick them back up.

Epsom salt, which forms half of the base of aromatherapy smelling salts, is not an actual salt but instead a natural compound of Magnesium and Sulfate Heptahydrate. Using dry measuring cups, measure 1.25 cups of it, and pour it into a medium-sized, metal, hard plastic or glass bowl. Take the rest and store it in an airtight container so you can make a variety of smelling salt blends later.  You want to use a metal, hard plastic or glass bowl so that when you later add the oil, they won’t absorb into the bowl, which would happen to one degree or another in a wooden bowl. Epsom salt is cheap. You can buy a 2 pound box of Epsom salt for about $2 at pharmacies and at big-box stores. A 5 pound bag costs about $5, which would leave you plenty for a nice bath soak and a whiff of one of your smelling salt blends. Created through a process of water evaporation, sea salt isn’t heavily refined like table salt, leaving it coarser. That’s one reason it, along with Epsom salt, work well as a base for smelling salts – they’re both able to absorb the essential oils that are added to them. You will want to measure 3/4 of a tablespoon of the sea salt and add it to the Epsom salt. There are two kinds of sea salt – fine-grind and flaked. Either will work, but because flaked sea salt has less moisture, it will better absorb the oil. Using a metal spoon, stir them until they are well blended. You should see the sparkle of the sea salt crystals throughout the mixture. Alternatively, if you are using a glass bowl with a tight-fitting lid, put the lid on and shake really well until the salts are thoroughly mixed.  Another option would be to use a fairly large and thoroughly washed plastic container with a lid, such as those used to hold sour cream, to put the salts in and then shake together. You want to use a metal spoon when mixing for the same reason as you want to use a metal, hard plastic or glass bowl. Later, when you add the essential oils, they won’t soak into a metal spoon.

TL;DR in English: Prepare the Epsom salt. Measure and add the sea salt. Stir the salts together.

to avoid spreading more bacteria. Run your hands under warm water, then scrub them well with hand soap. Make sure to get between your fingers and up above your wrists, washing for at least 20 seconds. Dry them off with a clean towel afterwards. Washing your hands thoroughly will prevent you from getting the earrings even dirtier before you start cleaning them. Hydrogen peroxide is great for killing bacteria and returning the shine to your earrings. To use it, place a cotton ball, swab, or pad over the opening of your hydrogen peroxide bottle. Then, tip the bottle over to saturate the ball. Make sure to get the cotton ball into any nooks, crannies, or corners of the earring. Spend a couple of minutes on each earring, adding more hydrogen peroxide if needed, then rinse them in a bowl of water. Cotton can get caught on some earrings, leaving behind annoying strands of fiber. To avoid this, or to simply get a more thorough clean, let your earrings soak in a small cup of hydrogen peroxide for 5-10 minutes. Rinse them clean in a bowl of water afterwards. When you’re done cleaning your earrings, set them on a clean cloth to dry. Touch them a few times to test whether they’re dry, then put them away or wear them when they’re ready.

TL;DR in English:


Shampoo with tea tree oil. Consider other oil treatments. Condition your hair with natural yogurt. Spend some more time in the sun. Change your diet.

Conflicts can escalate when both parties are yelling at each other. By speaking in a slow, cool voice, you can help the other person feel at ease. Even if the other person raises their voice, keep yours low and calm. Avoid telling the other person to “calm down.” This can make them feel angrier and more defensive. Instead, ask them what can be done to help the situation. For example, you can say, “I understand that you’re upset about your broken window. Why don’t we discuss what can be done in a way that is fair to everyone.” An apology can go a long way to solving tension. You might not feel as though you have done anything wrong, but you should consider how you might have offended the other person. A good apology will include what you did wrong as well as what you will do to make it up.  You can say, “I’m really sorry for insulting you. I did not realize that what I said was hurtful, and I understand now that it was a really stupid thing to do. I hope that you can forgive me.” If someone is accusing you of something you did not do, don’t take the blame. You can deflect the accusation by sympathizing with the other person. For example, you can say, “I’m sorry that your lunch keeps disappearing from the office fridge, but I’m not the one who is taking it.” Active listening is a form of communication where you repeat or paraphrase what the other person is saying to you. Ask the other person about their feelings or version of events. Listen without interrupting. Afterwards, rephrase what they said.  For example, you can say, “I understand that you’re upset. You’re right. I spilled a drink on you, and now you’re worried that your dress is ruined.” If the other person seems defensive, you can ask questions that will elicit the answer “yes” from them. This may help them feel less defensive. For example, you can say, “You are saying that you think this situation is unfair, is that right?” Sometimes, a solution will not be found. In this case, you might just have to let go of the problem. If it will not affect your...

Position your paperback and small hardback book standing up. Line it up next to books that are approximately the same size to prevent it from warping out of shape. Make sure that your books aren’t leaning, and use book ends if necessary to keep them straight. If your book is too large to store upright, lie it flat with no more than two other books stacked on top of it. UV rays from the sun can cause book jackets and covers to fade over time. This damage is permanent and it will devalue expensive or rare books. Place bookshelves in a shady corner of the room whenever possible. If you can't store your book out of the sun and wish to protect it from fading, purchase a UV-resistant cover for it online or in a book store. As a general rule, try to keep your book in a room that is 70 °F (21 °C) or cooler. Make sure that the room is not damp or humid, which may encourage mold to grow. Keep your book away from heaters or heating vents, as excessive heat can cause your book to deteriorate faster.

TL;DR in English: Position your book upright with similarly sized books. Keep your book out of direct sunlight. Store your book at room temperature and keep it dry.

Asking for specific examples of the candidate's experience will probe deeper into a person's capabilities. It will also give you the opportunity to judge if this person is telling the truth about the extent of their experience. The best way to do this is to ask open ended questions such as, “Can you tell me about a time when you led your team to exceed sales goals?” When speaking to a candidate, ask them questions to determine if they would be a strong leader such as:  Can you provide examples of your leadership abilities and successes with your previous team? Explain your experience coaching and mentoring others? Have you conducted training in the past? If so, what kind and how? How do you motivate others to be successful? Throughout the interview, ask yourself a number of questions in order to evaluate whether this candidate is right for the position:  Does this person have necessary skills to be a leader? Can they grab my attention? Are they confident? Can they communicate clearly? If the combined answers lead you to believe this person is a strong candidate, you may have found yourself a good boss. A good leader should have excellent communications skills. This means that person will be able to express themselves clearly and provide direction to others, with little room for interpretation. A great communicator must be able to communicate well across all mediums so it is important to assess their communication skills during every interaction - including over the phone, in person or by email. Try to determine if the candidate's management style will fit the team's needs. Management style can be difficult to assess in an interview scenario, so the best thing to do is just ask the candidate directly. For example, “How would you describe your management style?” and “Can you provide examples of how you utilized this management style to meet or exceed your team's goals?” During all communications with the candidate, try to develop an understanding of their personality traits. Examples of positive personality...

TL;DR in English: Ask for examples of experience and track record of success. Evaluate leadership abilities. Throughout the interview, evaluate the candidate's strengths. Assess the candidate's communication skills. Ask them to describe their management style. Gauge the candidate's personality. Be patient - do not rush the decision.

There will come the time, of course, when you feel like you need to pop a pimple, but that should be the exception to the rule. Why is popping pimples not so great for your skin? Popping a pimple will actually damage the surrounding skin, introduce gunk and bacteria from your hands, and cause even more inflammation and redness. If you can, resist popping pimples! Wash your face once in the morning and once at night, before you go to bed. Be sure to remove any makeup you might have on your face before you go to sleep.  Wash your face gently. No need to scrub furiously, like you're trying to remove a stain from the carpet. Gentler is better. Always moisturize after each wash. Washing your face strips the oil from your skin, which is both good and bad. Good because that oil is what gets infected and causes acne; bad because your skin is an organ, and like any other organ in your body, needs moisture. Many people find that exfoliating the skin once a week is a good way to prevent breakouts from happening. Exfoliating means removing the top layer of skin (the epidermis) so that it can't clog the pores, causing acne. Try not to exfoliate more than twice a week. There is too much of a good thing. Lots of over the counter (this means you can buy it at your friendly, local drugstore) acne medicines do help clear up acne, although they don't help to prevent it. If you have a small eruption of acne on your face that you don't want to pop, use some salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or tea tree oil directly onto the skin at night. Studies have shown that stress has a negative impact on your skin, specifically making acne worse. Pretty much, when your body is stressed, the cells that regulate sebum production stop working. Sebum is the stuff that contributes to acne. Regular exercise is helpful both in jump starting your immune system and cutting down on stress. Try to do at least 30 minutes of simple exercises (such as walking) a day, and mix in three hour-long sessions of intense cardio during the week. Studies have...

TL;DR in English: Try to avoid popping your pimples. Wash your face consistently, morning and night. Exfoliate your skin every so often. Don't be afraid to use over the counter topical medicines. Reduce the amount of stress in your life. Do regular exercise. Get enough sleep. Wash your hair regularly and don't use tons of product. Watch what you eat. Take oral acne medications.

Tea tree oil is a centuries-old antiseptic, antibiotic and antifungal that's derived from the Australian tea tree. If your dandruff is caused by any type of infection, than tea tree oil shampoos or other products may be very helpful. Scrub it into your scalp (being careful not to get it into your eyes), let the oil soak in for a few minutes, and then rinse well.  Tea tree oil has been known to cause allergic reactions in some people, so test it on yourself by rubbing a small amount onto the back of your hand. If your skin has no adverse reaction, you can proceed to use it on your scalp. If tea tree oil proves too strong for you, try black or green tea instead (both are astringent and contain antioxidants). Boil dry tea leaves in water, strain, and let the tea cool before rinsing your scalp with it. Dandruff that's caused by an excessively dry scalp can be remedied with the use of coconut oil, olive oil or baby oil. Once in the shower, massage the oil into your scalp and let it sit and soak in for five to 10 minutes. Then rinse with water and lightly shampoo to get rid of any greasiness. The oils will provide a moisturizing effect and make your hair softer. Coconut oil is also a good antimicrobial that can kill bacteria and fungi.  Consider massaging in the oil and leaving it overnight while your sleep. Wearing a protective shower cap will hep protect your pillow from stains. You should avoid these treatments if you suspect that your dandruff is related to an excessively oily scalp. Plain yogurt without any added sugar is a good skin conditioner in general, so consider using it for your scalp if it feels itchy and/or inflamed. The live bacteria in yogurt and its alkaline nature can improve the health of your scalp and help combat any irritation. It will also make your hair feel softer and fuller. Rub yogurt into your scalp after washing your hair. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes before rinsing and rewashing with a small amount of shampoo.  Avoid yogurts with added sugar, flavorings and fruit. Instead, buy Greek...

Look for candidates who are currently working in the industry. Emphasize years of experience, rather than schooling. Choose a candidate with some experience in your industry. Ask about their strategies. Discuss their link building strategy. Ask for references. Request a strategy proposal. Choose someone who you can communicate with easily.

This is the easiest and most primitive method, requiring the fewest and most common supplies. You'll need:  a small box a small tea candle that fits inside the box a small metal tray that can rest on top of the box, possibly the lid from a candle or the top to a tin of hand cream a glass big enough to cover the metal tray a small rubber tube or bendy straw Light it. Make sure it's spaced in the middle of the box to avoid catching anything on fire. Basically, you're going to heat what you're planning on smoking on the tray with the candle and use the glass to collect the vapor, which you'll inhale through the tube. It's a simple method. It helps to have the flame low enough so that it won't scorch the tin too badly. Put whatever you plan on smoking on top of the tin lid. Find a good-sized glass big enough to fit over your tin and small enough to rest on the edges of your box. Wait for the glass to fill with vapor. When you see the glass begin to fill with vapor, you can start inhaling through the rubber tube. When you're finished, you can take this apart easily and no one will know the difference.

TL;DR in English: Collect your supplies. Light the candle and place it inside the box. Place the tray on top of the flame, resting on the edges of the box. Put the glass over the tin. Snake your tube up into the glass and inhale.

There are thousands of species of ants worldwide, but typically only a few are likely to be encountered in a given region of the world. Save yourself time by knowing which ants are possibilities in your county or province, instead of reading every description. Some tropical countries and islands have interactive guides here, but not all of these are in a usable state. Worldwide guides to ant species may require sifting through dozens or hundreds of species. If you can't find a local list, or if none of the ant species described below match your specimen's description, here are a couple good options:  Visit AntWeb.org. Select Regions in small text near the top of the page, then select your region from the drop-down menu. Select "Nearctic" for Canada, the U.S., and Baja California. Select "Neotropical" for the rest of Mexico and Latin America. Alternatively, enter your specimen's information into Discover Life's database. The species descriptions below provide additional information whenever it may be useful. Head color, antenna shape (thin or "clubbed"), and other information may come in handy. Start by navigating to the section for one-node or two-node ants, depending on your specimen. In each section, the most widespread invasive ant species are listed in detail first. Other relatively common pest ant species with more restricted territories are given briefer descriptions beneath them.

TL;DR in English: Find a list of ants in your area, if possible. Use larger guides if necessary. Refer to the ant specimen while reading the section below.

A career in mortgage underwriting will entail a lot of financial risk analysis. Most day-to-day tasks will involve reviewing applications and conducting an in-depth analysis of the proposed loan package. Common risks that will be predicted and assessed include:   Interest rate risk — this involves the potential losses that may be suffered as a result of fluctuating interest rates.  Default risk — this focuses on the risk of a potential borrower defaulting on his loans if he becomes incapable of paying off his debt.  Pre-payment risk — this risk requires the underwriter to speculate on the likelihood of the borrower paying off his loan before it matures. If this happens, the borrower effectively cuts out the lender's interest payments that would have otherwise accrued. In order to analyze a potential borrower's loan request, a mortgage underwriter will be required to examine the borrower's credit reports and income history, which may require pay stubs and/or W-2 statements. The mortgage underwriter uses this information to calculate the borrower's debt-to-income ratio.  The debt-to-income ratio is calculated by adding the borrower's monthly liabilities (mortgage payments) to his obligations (month-to-month credit and loan payments), and dividing that number by the borrower's net monthly income, factoring in any recurring financial obligations such as child support or alimony. Any additional assets, such as checking/savings accounts, retirement funds, mutual funds, and stocks, are also factored into the equation to determine whether or not the potential borrower would be a high default risk. Once you've entered the mortgage underwriter field, there is not very much room for advancement beyond becoming a manager unless you've earned a master's degree in a related field. For this reason, many mortgage underwriters choose to develop advanced skills in specialized lending systems.  Common lending systems include Local Authorities Pension Plan (LAPP) loans, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) loans, and Federal...

TL;DR in English: Know what's expected. Learn how to underwrite a mortgage. Specialize your skills.

The family calendar should be centrally located, preferably the kitchen.  It’s important to know what everyone in the household is doing in a visual so that things don’t get forgotten.  Making this calendar a white board allows you to quickly jot down everyone’s schedule and erase it when changes arise. In other words, a flexible calendar will help you be flexible. Include a weekly menu so that family members can simply read it instead of nagging the home manager. Allow them to make changes to the menu as long as they are willing to pay for the different ingredients. Tack up an ongoing grocery list so that family members can add to the list themselves when they see a supply running out or want a particular item. You can also create a space for phone numbers near this calendar to minimize stress. Make a plan for when groceries will be purchased each month and how much money will be spent on them. Knowing which day this shopping trip occurs each month will minimize stress for everyone. Mail can get piled up if it doesn’t have a designated home. Minimize clutter fast by setting the mail where the home manager can go through it once a week. You can add a space for important papers so that when a child needs a permission slip signed or a bill needs to be filed, nothing gets lost. The family manager should check this bin each evening to sign things, and children should check it each morning before school. One of the best ways to manage a home is to have help. Set up a weekly chore chart so that every member of the family has a job and the weight of the entire household doesn’t rest on one person. This is part of the business management structure concept, that the boss (family manager) delegates tasks.  Chore charts are good for many reasons, including getting help to manage the house, building confidence in children, and teaching responsibility.  You can make your own chore chart or find a printable template online. Even though the goal is to eliminate clutter by having an organized home, clutter is going to...

TL;DR in English: Choose a location for the family calendar. Set up a grocery shopping routine. Set up a place for mail to be stored. Make a chore chart. Designate areas for clutter. Schedule big cleaning days.

Unfortunately, taking time off in the SEO world means you'll most likely have missed several industry changes. Search engine marketing is a constantly changing environment. Most business and marketing programs can't keep up with the pace of online marketing. For this reason, candidates who are self-taught and have worked and adjusted to the changes are more likely to have a working knowledge of what you need. Although an SEO expert can adapt to a new industry, they will require less research if they already know the keywords and tactics that are effective with your clientele. Make sure you ask this as an open-ended question so that they list the following answers:  Technical knowledge about building a searchable website. This means they know how search engines crawl and use meta tags, meta descriptions, alt tags and more. High quality content creation. This may also be known as on-site building. They should have experience writing using keywords and HTML tags. At the same time, they should understand that content is effective and interesting. Off-site optimization, such as link building. This is the trickiest part of the equation and should lead to a follow up question. If they aren't in the business of building relationships with content producers that link back to the site, then they are using an antiquated method. Search engines now penalize websites that use linking that is irrelevant to the product or the site. Call the references so that you can be sure they were pleased with the work. This will help you understand their depth of understanding. Ensure they include the three pillars of SEO, as well as reporting on website traffic. This is true of any contractor, but is especially important when you are hiring an expert. They should be able to work through problems and update you on progress in an effective way.

If your employer, college, or university provides you with a search engine or directory, begin there. If you have access to a library database of research articles, such as EBSCOhost, start there. Library databases provide you with access to peer-reviewed research, which is the gold standard for academic study. “Peer-reviewed” means that top experts in the field have reviewed the research to make sure it is accurate, trustworthy, and informed before publishing it. Even if you’re just trying to learn something for your own personal benefit, academic research will provide you with the most up-to-date, reliable information.  You can usually access these databases through your home library’s website. Some academic and universities libraries may require a password if you are accessing them remotely (from somewhere other than in the library itself). If you don’t have access to a library, try using Google Scholar for your searches. You can find academic research through this search engine, and Google Scholar will show you where you can find free copies of the articles online. Depending on the area of your research, you have several options for online databases specific to your field. For example, if you are looking for research on education, the ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) is sponsored by the United States Department of Education and provides peer-reviewed research and informational materials on education topics. If you’re looking for medical or scientific research, PubMed, sponsored by the United States National Library of Medicine, is a great place to start. If you have access to a library, make an appointment to speak with your reference librarian. These people are specially trained in helping you access the best research and knowledge available. They can help you find sources and also help you determine whether sources are credible. Search engines crawl the web indexing pages by reading the words and phrases that appear on those pages. From there, the process is automated. Each search engine...

TL;DR in English: Decide where to start your search. Look for subject-specific databases. Ask a librarian. Use regular search engines with caution. Choose your keywords carefully. Narrow when necessary.

Listening is one of the most important things you can do for someone who is hurting. Active listening shows that you care about your friend and he or she is being heard. Often, intently listening is more valuable than any other gesture.  When you're really listening make sure that there are no other distractions. This means don't check your phone, don't try to talk to other people. Try to make eye contact with her while she's talking. You don't need to stare, but eye contact shows that you're paying attention and that you're engaged. It's also a good way to avoid being distracted. Let her know you can be the person she can call any time of day or night. Sometimes friends will lean on you, other times you will lean on them. Being a friend means being available, even when it's inconvenient. Instead of jumping in with your feelings, perceptions and experiences, ask questions about your friend's experience. When your friend talks about her break-up, for example, ask her about what she's feeling and what she needs from you. Instead of asking, "Are you sad?", consider asking "What emotions are you feeling?" and "Is there anything I can do to help you?". When people are sad, it's easy to want to crawl into a cave and want to be alone. But humans function better when social needs are met. Too much isolation can cause mental and physical breakdown. Think about enjoyable experiences that you can have together. Being there physically for your friend and engaging in fun activities will help bring cheer to your friend. Offer to come over and hang out, watch a movie, or get food together. Any way that you can spend quality time together is beneficial. Touching is a language all its own and it can be used to convey the idea that you are there for your friend, that your friend is safe with you. It's good to check in with your friend before you offer physical comfort, because she may not appreciate touch.  A hug can be truly important and healing. If your friend is upset, especially if she's feeling highly emotional, a hug or...

TL;DR in English: Listen to your friend. Ask open-ended questions. Spend time with your friend. Give physical comfort. Learn to empathize, not sympathize. Make life easier for her. Send her gifts.

In this setting you are likely to have a handful of regulars you will personally get to know. The atmosphere is a "home away from home."  Operating hours for these bars tend to be earlier than others, opening in the early morning and closing slightly earlier at night than others. These bars typically start with beers and wines on their serving lists first. Pay attention to this for licensing purposes. If demand for hard liquor is present, then getting the proper license to carry them should be pursued. Light food fare can be served at these locations such as sandwiches and/or appetizers, but full dinners are not frequently on the menu. This will mean avoiding the need for a costly full restaurant license. Some light gaming equipment is a good idea to have on the premises of such bars. Jukeboxes, pool tables, dart boards, arcade video games, and the like are good entertainment ideas. You might even consider building a few arcade cabinets for the video games. Typical neighborhood bars cost between $50,000 and $100,000 to start. These are similar to neighborhood bars, but tend to offer a bit more substantial food fare. The biggest difference is with entertainment as visual and audio options are significantly more important in sports bars.  Investment in numerous televisions with cable and/or satellite channel packages will be a significant change for sports bars over other types. Maintaining the latest audio/visual technology can sometimes take a large portion of the bar's revenue. Food options tend to include burgers, chicken wings, ribs, pizza, grilled items, and appetizers. Extra gaming equipment isn't as important with sporting events being the main attraction. However, having some video games at the table, pool tables, or arcade games can be a nice addition. Thoroughly research the local sports team(s). You'll want plenty of authorized logos, posters, pictures, and other gear of theirs around your establishment. You might even consider contacting the team directly to see if joint-promotions are a...

Once you have your homemade or fresh, storebought grape juice, measure out 4 cups to pour into a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Make sure there’s room in the pot so that you can add the sugar and pectin and still be able to easily stir the juice once you have. If you like, you can clean out the pot you used to juice the grapes and reuse it to make the jelly.
