Find a Dusk Stone in Terminus Cave. Alternatively, get the Dusk Stone from Secret Super Training. Use another option for getting a Dusk Stone. Use the Dusk Stone on Doublade.

Studies suggest that singing offers many of the emotional, mental and physical health benefits provided by exercise. Singing loudly releases endorphins and relieves stress. If you don't feel comfortable singing in front of other people, do it when you're alone in the shower or in your car. A guilty conscience can weigh down your emotional well-being. Apologize to anyone you need to apologize to. Go out of your way to mend a relationship you damaged. You won't be able to turn back the hands of time, but by doing everything you can to correct your mistakes, you'll spend less time losing energy on guilt. Likewise, if there is someone in your life who has wronged you, make a conscious choice to forgive that person. Anger and hatred can consume just as much energy as guilt. Recharge a depleted sense of self-confidence by sitting down and making a list of the things you've accomplished in the past week, month or year. Doing this on a regular basis will keep you feeling continually recharged, so remember to do it as often as possible. Avoid thinking about the things you wanted to do but didn't get done. The point is to tally up your accomplishments and not to focus on where you fell short for the month. After all, most people base their lists on what they would like to accomplish for the day or week, but usually expectations actually outweigh what people can realistically accomplish in a 24 hour period. Everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes are an inevitable part of the human experience, but people sometimes get hung up on their own mistakes and dwell on them for extended periods of time. The next time you make a mistake, acknowledge it, then remind yourself to get right back on track. Life is busy, and in your quest to be responsible, you may find yourself postponing the things you enjoy doing or the experiences you would like to try. Doing this too often can make life feel less exciting. A tedious, uneventful life may make you feel more sluggish and less motivated than you want to be.  Schedule time once a week (or...

TL;DR in English: Sing. Right a wrong. Make a list of accomplishments. Don't look back. Do something fun. Indulge in a guilty pleasure. Take a break from the people and things that drain you. Spend time with friends and family. Meditate and pray.

Place a thin plastic wedge against the body of the vehicle directly above, below, or to the side of the emblem.  Slide the wedge beneath the badge and into the glue.  You may need to do it from multiple angles to loosen the emblem sufficiently.  You can then either pry the emblem off, or use another method to cut through the adhesive in the middle.  If you pry the emblem off, it may break.  If you intend to throw the emblems away after, this method is fine. If you would like to keep the emblems, try using another method to cut through the glue in the middle. Cut a length of fishing line or dental floss that is about eight inches long.  Wrap each end around the index fingers on each of your hands, then press the line against the body of the vehicle.  Slide it down behind the emblem and pull the line to the left and right in a sawing motion as it passes beneath the emblem and through the adhesive.  This method offers the best chances of removing the badge completely intact. If the dental floss breaks, cut another length of it and repeat the process until you are through. .  You can also use a credit card in place of a plastic wedge or wire.  Slide the credit card behind the emblem and continue to work it through the softened adhesive until it is loose enough to remove.  Make sure to face the credit card out, toward yourself, so the letters don’t scratch the paint. If you would like to keep the emblem, try to remove as much glue as possible before pulling the emblem off. Once the emblem is off of the vehicle, spray adhesive removed on the bits of glue that remain on the body of the car.  Allow the adhesive remover to sit for a minute, then wipe the area clean with a rag. You may need to apply adhesive remover more than once to remove all of the glue.

TL;DR in English: Use a plastic wedge to pry the emblem off. Cut the adhesive with dental floss or fishing line. Remove the emblem using a credit card. Spray adhesive remover on the leftover glue.

A water bottle with a sealable lid and large mixing bowl work well when you don't have a blender. Additionally, if you have a blender bottle or a spherical whisk, you can use that to shake up your ingredients.  For this method, it's best to mix your liquids separately from your solids before blending everything together. You will have to mash your solids before adding to your shake. A nonelectric food processor and chopper will also work well for mixing your fruits and other solid foods. Add 1 cup (240 ml) of milk or juice into your container before you add your powder. If you don’t have a blender, it’s best not to add any ice. The ice won’t be able to break up in your container and will prevent any of your other ingredients from fully mixing. Before adding anything else, just like with a blender, mix in your protein. Use your whisk and shake your bottle, or stir with a fork.  Unless you can mash up nuts or chocolate to a fine powder by hand, use a flavor powder substitute. You can also use peanut butter instead of nuts. Try almond milk instead of almonds, and chocolate powder instead of chocolate. You can also buy fruit powder, which is similar to your protein powder. Instead of a whey protein powder, you can use fruit powder which contains all the nutrients of fruit. If you opt for fruit powder, mix it in like you would your protein powder, after you add your juice or milk.   The easiest way to mix all your protein powder is to pour a little in at a time, stir, and then pour more. By adding a little protein at a time there is less powder that has to absorb at once. Once you’ve stirred in all your powder, screw the lid of your bottle on tightly and shake for 10 to 15 seconds. Even if you don’t have a spherical whisk, shaking your bottle will help to break up any leftover protein chunks. Because you don’t have a blender, you have to turn your fruit and other solid ingredients into a shake-like consistency by hand. Mash your fruit up with a mortar and pestle or in a bowl with a fork and spoon. Mash your fruit...

TL;DR in English: Grab a large mixing container. Pour your liquids into your bottle. Add your protein mix. Prepare your fruit or other ingredients. Add your other ingredients.

To make yourself a more realistic rifle, you'll need a board about three feet (90 cm) long and six inches (15 cm) wide. You should be able to purchase a board for this purpose from your local hardware store or lumber yard. In addition to the wood that you will form into the main body of your rubber band rifle, you will also need ammunition and supplies to help you cut your wood into the shape of your gun. For this project you should have:  Pencil/felt tip marker Woodworking saw (or a common saw) Jig saw (optional) Duct tape (or thin leather strip) Knife Rubber bands Use a woodworking saw for greater precision, or a common saw if that is unavailable, and cut along the outside of the outline you drew on your board. Do this until the outline is completely cut free.

TL;DR in English: Find a suitable piece of wood. Get your other rifle making supplies. Cut out the outline of your rifle.

Evolving your new Doublade into its final form, Aegislash, can't be done through normal training. Instead, you must use a special evolutionary item called a "Dusk Stone" to get it to evolve. There are a few places in the game to get this stone. The most straightforward is to simply find it in Terminus Cave (accessible from Route 18).  Note that you can't get to Route 18 until you defeat Team Flare and Lysandre at their HQ in Geosenge town, so you'll need to do this before you can get to the cave and find the Dusk Stone. Inside the cave, the Dusk Stone can be found on the second basement level to the far left of the map. It is to the left of an Iron item on a stalactite. Another straightforward way to get a Dusk Stone is through the Secret Super Training minigame. The level you must beat is level six, "Watch Out! That's One Tricky Second Half!" Defeating the Aegislash balloon bot wins you an item as a prize — the Dusk Stone is one of five possible prizes for this level.  You can access the training minigames at any time via the bottom screen of the 3DS. It is to the left of the Player Search System and to the right of Pokémon-Amie. Keep in mind that only fully-trained Pokémon are eligible for Secret Super Training. Beating the target time as quickly as possible gives you a better chance for a rare item like a Dusk Stone. There are a few other ways to get a Dusk Stone in Pokémon X and Y. These aren't typically as convenient as the options above, but they are worth mentioning:  You can get a Dusk Stone from beating Balloon Popping level three in the PokéMileage Club. You can get a Dusk Stone by beating the Psychic "Inver" trainer on Route 18 with a score of 7-9. In these battles, Pokémon type strengths and weaknesses are reversed. Your score is the number of "It's super effective" hits you make minus the number of "it's not very effective" hits. The Dusk Stone is one of ten possible prizes for scores of 7-9 (all are evolutionary stones). You can get a Dusk Stone by beating a Team Flare Grunt in Laverre City....

It used to be that Skype had to be installed by manually downloading the binary from Skype’s website, but now you can install it from the Canonical Partners repository. Start by opening a terminal window. If you’re using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you’ll need to enable Multiarch so the program will install. At the command prompt:  Type: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386  Press ↵ Enter. This repository, which is where Skype (and a lot of other closed-source software) is found, is disabled by default. To enable it from the command line:  Type: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"  Press ↵ Enter. Ubuntu recommends that Skype only be installed through this repository (rather than downloading the package from Skype’s website). Here’s how:  Type: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype  Press ↵ Enter to begin the installation. When the installation is complete, you’ll return to the command line. This will launch Skype. Follow the prompts to create your account so you can get started with video chat.

Canker sores, also called aphthous ulcers or aphthous stomatitis, are not contagious and look different from cold sores. They are usually about 5-8 mm across, painful, and also pale or yellow with a red outer ring. These sores are usually inside your mouth. You may notice 1 blister or several in a cluster. If your blister looks like this, it is probably a canker sore.  In most cases, canker sores don't have any other accompanying symptoms. They often heal in about 10 days. While cold sores usually develop on the lips, canker sores develop on the inside of the mouth. Blisters caused by burns can look similar, but with burns, you can typically identify an incident that caused the blister. Mix 1 teaspoon of salt with ½ cup of warm water. Take a sip of the mixture, keeping it in your mouth. Swirl it over the area with the canker sore for about a minute and then spit it out.  This will help dry out the blister but it can be painful. If it causes you unbearable pain, try a different treatment. Repeat this process every couple of hours until the blister is gone. As an alternative, eating a popsicle or sipping on cool liquids might help your sore feel better. Put a teaspoon of baking soda in a small bowl and add a few drops of water to create a paste. Use your finger to apply a thin layer of the paste onto the canker sore and let it sit there for a minute. After that, rinse your mouth out with cool water. You can repeat this process daily to help get rid of your canker sore. There are a variety of over-the-counter medications that will protect the blister and will reduce the pain you feel. These medications include benzocaine and hydrogen peroxide rinses. Whichever medication you buy at your pharmacy, follow the directions on the packaging and quit using it if it increases your pain and discomfort. In order to help get rid of your canker sore, it's important to treat it gently. Don't eat anything too spicy, salty, rough, or acidic. Also keep your toothbrush away from your blister while you brush, as you don't want to...

TL;DR in English: Look at the color and pattern of the blister to determine if it is a canker sore. Gargle with salt water to dry out the blister. Try applying a paste of baking soda to reduce inflammation. Use over-the-counter medications to soothe it. Be cautious when eating or brushing your teeth. Get treated by a doctor if you cannot get rid of your blisters.

Generally, if the pressure is falling, the weather is taking a turn towards storms and rain. The starting point of the reading is also important in the forecast. Higher readings indicate better weather even if the pressure is falling.  If the reading is over 30.2 inches of mercury and falling rapidly, this indicates cloudy, but warmer weather. If the reading is between 29.8 and 30.2 inches of mercury and falling rapidly, rain is most likely on the way. If it's under 29.8 inches of mercury and falling slowly, rain is likely; if it's falling rapidly, a storm is imminent. As the air pressure rises, the weather tends to improve as the high pressure systems moves through your location.  Readings over 30.2 inches of mercury that rise indicate that the weather will continue to be fair.  Readings between 29.8 and 30.2 inches of mercury that rise indicate that the weather will remain whatever it presently is. Readings under 29.8 inches of mercury that rise indicate that the weather is clearing, but will be cooler. Steady air pressure indicates long periods of nice weather and suggests that you will be experiencing more of the same. If it's sunny and the pressure is holding, expect more sunshine! Higher pressures indicate warmer weather, while lower pressures indicate cooler weather.  A strong high pressure system is around 30.4 inches of mercury. Anything above 30 is considered high pressure.  A typical low pressure system is around 29.5 inches of mercury. Anything below 29.9 is considered low pressure.

Know if he has a real problem with pornography. Consider watching porn with him. Try to use the porn to discuss your boyfriend's sexual fantasies. Discuss your next steps. Seek a relationship counselor if it's necessary.

Spending more time with your family benefits your trust relationship in several ways.  First, your parents won’t be suspicious about how you’re spending your time if it is with them.  Second, spending time with people helps you understand and communicate with them better, which can help your relationship. Third, your parents will be reminded of your great qualities, like your sense of humor, instead of focusing only on the trust violation. Do your chores.  Pick your brother up from school on time.  Offer to help with the dishes after dinner.  Showing responsibility for everyday things can help your parents think of you as a responsible person.  This alone may not be enough to rebuild trust, but combined with other things like open communication, these small steps can help. Demonstrating to your parents that you care about them, yourself, and your relationship is an important element of your two-way trust relationship.   Showing that you care may take on many different forms, but doing and saying things that you know will make the other person feel good is a place to start. If you have hurt anyone aside from your parents as part of the trust violation, apologize and try to make it right.  If you asked your parents what you could do to regain their trust, do what they said to do, even if it seems silly.  Even if it seems like, for example, washing your dad’s car may have nothing to do with regaining his trust, you are showing that you are willing to do what it takes. Showing that you are willing to change in a small way—such as making your bed every day like your mom always asks—can prove that you are willing to change in a big way, which may be necessary for trust-building.

TL;DR in English: Spend time with your family. Demonstrate responsible actions. Show that you care. Perform reparations. Demonstrate your readiness to change.

People that put others down may do it for several reasons. It is not always on purpose and may not always be meant to hurt you. Understanding what the person's motive is can help you determine how to deal with her.  Some people do it because they are insecure or jealous. They are trying to feel better about themselves by putting you down.  Some do it because they are trying to impress someone or get attention. For example, the coworker that criticizes your work in front of the supervisor. Others don't realize they are doing it or just don't communicate well. For example, the grandmother that says, “That's a nice shirt. It covers your stomach well.” Sometimes people aren't really trying to be mean or hurt your feelings. They may just consider it harmless teasing. For example, a friend that calls you "short stuff". Some comments are just annoying and you can ignore them. Other comments are truly mean and hurtful and should be addressed. Deciding where that line is for you will help you determine how to address the situation.  For example, when your brother puts you down it may be annoying. But you know he probably doesn't mean it and isn't actually trying to hurt your feelings.  You may not even want to address it with him unless it gets way out of hand. But, a co-worker that always makes rude remarks to you that are upsetting will probably need to be addressed. If the insults are discriminatory or happen a lot, the person is crossing the line and should be reported. People that don't know you  well, but put you down are probably doing it for a bad reason (or they could just be annoying). Don't cause a scene, but do let them know that it's not okay.  If possible, have the conversation in private. This cuts down her need to "put on a show" for other people and maintains the respect of both of you. You might say, “During the discussion you made some harsh comments about my idea. I appreciate constructive feedback, but not insults. Please don't do that again.” If she starts putting you down while you are trying to...

TL;DR in English: Understand why the person does it. Draw a line. Talk to co-workers and peers. Be assertive with friends and siblings. Be respectful with superiors.

Wash the apples first, then peel them. After this, you can core them using an apple corer, and then cut them into quarters. If you don't own an apple corer, you can cut them into quarters first, then cut the core away with a knife. Put the apples into a large pot first, then add the apple cider. Turn the heat up to high, and let the cider come to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to low, and let the apples and cider simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the sugar and spices, then turn the heat back up to high. Let the mixture come to a boil. As soon as the cider starts to boil, reduce the heat to low, and let the apples simmer for 30 minutes.  For a twist, try 1½ cups (300 grams) of brown sugar and ½ cup (115 grams) of white sugar.  If you'd like the apple cider to be sweeter, you can add up to 4 cups (900 grams) of sugar. Once the apples are soft, take the pot off the stove, and let the mixture cool down a little. You can then mash the apples using a potato masher, or purée them in a blender or food processor. The longer you cook it, the thicker it will become. You don't want the apple butter to be too thick, however; the mixture should be reduced by about 40 to 50%. The apple butter may splatter. Consider keeping a splatter screen of sorts over the pot to keep your kitchen clean. Wipe the mouths of the jars with a clean towel, then put the lids on. Store the jars in the fridge.

TL;DR in English: Wash, peel, core, and quarter the apples. Put the apples and apple cider into a large pot, bring it to a boil, then simmer it over low heat for 20 minutes. Add the sugar and spices, return to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Let the mixture cool for a bit, then mash or purée the apples. Return the mixture to the pot, and continue cooking it over low heat until it thickens, about 1 hour. Pour the apple butter into jars, leaving ¼ inch (0.64 centimeters) of space.

You might be able to get rid of some of the fungus just by cutting your nails. Even if you can’t remove most of it with clippers, you can thin out the nail so that the anti-fungal treatment you choose can get deep into your nail. This will help it fight the fungus. If you usually keep your toenails on the longer side, consider keeping them pretty short while you’re trying to get rid of fungus. By filing off white marks, you are removing an additional barrier to the nail. Take time to file so that your topical treatment can reach the actual fungus. Use an Emory board to file off any ragged edges or colored markings on your nail. Try to make your strokes small and precise to shave off as much of the infected nail as you can; filing down your nail can actually make the topical treatment more effective.   File your toenails once a week, or more if you notice ragged edges. Treat yourself to a professional pedicure. Your nails will look great and you'll feel nice and relaxed! You can purchase a variety of OTC treatments at your local pharmacy. Both ointments and creams work well; just pick whichever formula you like best. Follow the directions on the package for applying the cream. Make sure to keep applying it for as long as the directions specify, even if the fungus appears to be gone.  If you’re not sure which product is right for you, ask the pharmacist or your doctor for a recommendation. If an OTC product is too pricey, you can use Vick's VapoRub as an inexpensive alternative. Apply a small amount to the affected nail twice a day. It's most effective if you do this after a shower so that your toes are already nice and clean. It might take 3-4 months to see results. If you prefer not to use medicine, you can try to get rid of the fungus by using basic vinegar. Fill a bowl with warm water and white vinegar. Use a ratio of 2-1 for water to vinegar.  Keep your feet in this solution for 20 minutes, then rinse with plain water. You can do this daily for the best results. There is no medical evidence that suggests...

TL;DR in English: Trim your nails so that an anti-fungal treatment can penetrate the nail. File off white markings on your nails, if present. Apply an over the counter anti-fungal treatment. Soak nails in vinegar once a day for a natural remedy. Apply garlic to the fungus if you don’t want to use medicine. Use several drops of tea tree oil as a natural remedy.

There's a difference between being a casual porn watcher and having a porn addiction. If your boyfriend is obsessed with watching porn and sneaks away to watch porn every chance he gets, then he may be having a real problem with a porn addiction and should seek help. Though most of the time this is not the case, it's important to know that it's a possibility. Ask yourself if his porn habits are affecting your relationship, replacing the time he spends with you, and generally making it difficult to be romantically involved. If this is the case, then you may have a real problem on your hands and should discuss next steps. While this isn't for every couple, if you see nothing morally objectionable about porn though you have never watched it before, or if you've seen it before and are curious about what it's like to watch porn as a couple, then see if you and your boyfriend can have a kinky time watching porn together. Your boyfriend may not think this is a good idea, and if he doesn't, you shouldn't push him on it too much. And if you do watch it with him, watch it for the enjoyment of watching something sexy together, not to gauge his reaction to see how much he really likes it. This will make him self-conscious and unlikely to enjoy himself. Many men say that they watch porn as an escape, and that they'd never want to do the same things with their girlfriend that they see people doing on television. Yet, sometimes the stuff he watches on porn can make him yearn for something with you, even if it's just some harmless role playing or some time spent having sex in a new position or making out in a new location. Talk to him about it to see if the conversation may take your own relationship to a new level.  Your boyfriend may want something in the bedroom but may be too shy to ask unless you press him. Of course, this doesn't mean that you have to do anything that you're uncomfortable with. The fact of the matter is, a lot of porn does objectify women, and you don't have to do anything that makes you feel demeaned...

TL;DR in English:


Use cats for protection only if they are familiar with chickens. Invest in dogs. Use light to scare off predators. Be wary about setting traps.

During a heated argument, it can be tempting to say some hurtful things.  Instead of attacking with your words, carefully select what you want to say and make it a constructive message.  You can still speak your mind and express yourself honestly, so long as you aren't using your message to hurt your partner.  Use “I” statements such as “I feel....” or “I would like...” Ask for input.  Say something like “What do you think about...” Listen carefully and openly to anything your spouse might say. Be honest and speak your mind in a calm and fair manner. When things get too emotional, a discussion might turn into a shouting competition.  Yelling at one another will do another but cause harm to the relationship.  Loud outbursts should be avoided at all costs when trying to improve your marriage.  Yelling will not convey any useful message you may have hoped to get across. You are allowed to have and feel emotions.  However, they cannot become angry outbursts during a discussion. If one person tries to make all the choices in a relationship, it can lead to the other party feeling dis-empowered or undervalued.  Choices that can involve both people, should.  Try to keep both your own and your spouse's needs in mind when discussing any plans.  Work towards options that are best for both partners. Don't try to force a choice to get your way.  Decisions should be cooperative, not competitive. Whenever your spouse is talking to you, practicing active listening can help her feel like she is being heard.  You will be able to more fully engage in a conversation with your spouse by carefully listening to what she is saying and giving cues that you are paying attention.  Restate things your spouse has said.  "I just want to make sure I understood..." Summarize what you heard.  "It sounds like..." Use encouragers like "oh", "I see", or "mmhmm" Validate what is being said.  "I'm glad you brought this up." Allow for silences.  Don't jump in the moment your spouse is done talking. Passive-aggressive behavior is when you may act...

TL;DR in English: Speak constructively. Avoid yelling. Make decisions together. Actively listen. Avoid being passive-aggressive.

Juice from 1/2 a lemon (or 1 tsp. of concentrated lemon juice) 1 or 2 tbsp. of baking soda 1 tsp. honey Brown sugar to desired thickness Use a fork or a whisk to combine the lemon juice, baking soda, and honey in a bowl. Ensure that the mixture is smooth and free of clumps. How much brown sugar you add will depend on your own tastes. If you want the paste to be thicker, add more sugar; for a lighter, runnier exfoliating paste, add less sugar. Make sure the paste is free of lumps. Also make sure that it is not too runny, otherwise it may drip into your eyes or on your clothes or furniture. Use lukewarm water and gently massage your face as you wash it. Be sure to rinse it well. Be gentle as you pat your face dry so as not to irritate your skin. Using gentle, circular motions, apply the mixture to your face and neck with your fingertips. You will likely feel some light tingling and tightening. This is the mask doing its job! If your skin begins to burn, however, wash the mask off right away. Dampen a washcloth with lukewarm water and then use gentle, circular motions to move the mixture from your skin. You may need to rinse out the cloth and re-wet it a few times to completely and thoroughly remove the mixture from your skin. Use the coldest water you can handle, as this will help close your pores and lock in the benefits of the mask. Afterward, gently pat your face dry with a clean, dry washcloth. Once your face is clean and dry, apply your favorite moisturizer to your face and neck. Even without the moisturizer, you should notice that your skin is smoother and brighter even after one treatment. Only do this mask once a week. Doing it more than that may cause your skin to become dry and irritated. The mask should improve the quality of your skin and reduce the appearance of acne.

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials: Combine lemon juice, baking soda, and honey. Add brown sugar to desired thickness. Mix everything together to form a smooth paste. Wash face with gentle cleanser and pat dry. Apply the mixture to your face and neck. Leave on for 5 to 15 minutes. Remove the mask with a damp washcloth. Splash your face with cold water. Moisturize. Repeat once a week.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, orange zest, and orange juice. With electric beaters, the whisk attachment on a stand mixer, or a whisk, cream all the ingredients together until smooth. If you're using a manual whisk, use a vigorous motion to ensure the ingredients come together properly. Pour in the powdered sugar in half-cup increments. Continue beating until all the sugar has been added, and the icing is smooth, light, and fully incorporated. Use an icing knife to frost your dessert with the cream cheese icing. Set the dessert aside and let the icing set for at least one, and ideally two hours. Orange cream cheese icing is great for:  Carrot and spice cakes Gingerbread cookies and cakes Zucchini bread Pumpkin cookies and cakes Chocolate cakes

TL;DR in English: Cream all ingredients except the sugar. Add the sugar. Frost the dessert and let the icing set.

Cats can help target many predators such as rats and vermin. However, cats may also view chickens as prey. Only use cats as protection if they're comfortable around chickens.  New cats and kittens can be introduced to chickens gradually, especially at a young age. Have them interact through a fence or enclosure for a few weeks. Then, try a face-to-face interaction in which the chicken and cat are both restrained. All cats are different. Some cats will always target chickens as prey, even when properly introduced. If your cat seems aggressive towards chickens, even after controlled interactions, you should not let the cat outdoors near the chickens. Farm dogs can be great for protecting chickens. Working breeds like Border Collies will chase off potential predators. However, dogs may sometimes target chickens as well. It's a good idea to keep dogs outside of a chicken coop. If you notice a dog being aggressive towards a chicken, scold the dog in the moment. Eventually, your dog may learn to leave chickens alone. Install a bright security light or a motion activated light near a coop. Bright lights can help deter predators at night when you and your chickens are sleeping. Lights may scare potential predators away from the coop. If your chickens are being targeted frequently by a predator, you can set baited traps. However, traps should only be used in extreme circumstances, as their effectiveness is questionable. Predators like raccoons often travel in groups, so you will have to take out an entire family for traps to be effective. If you do set traps, you will need consistently keep them up for awhile to catch all predators. You should also make sure to release animals like skunks and raccoons far away from other people's homes. You do not want to simply make predators another person's problem.

Clean your vagina. Prepare the suppository. Get your body into position. Open the lips of your vulva. Push the suppository into your vagina. Dispose of the applicator.

These are the quickest and most effective treatments for whitening.  During these treatments your dentist will put a protective gel on your gums and put an oral shield on your mouth to protect your gums and cheeks. They will then apply a bleaching agent to your teeth around your braces. Typically, these are made of varying concentrations of strong hydrogen peroxide. Most in-office treatments will use a special light to activate the bleaching solution, though other treatments are available using in-office bleaching trays. The bleaching solution needs to sit under the special light for at least an hour in most cases.  Sometimes the treatments will cause discomfort in the short-term. Bleaching gels can irritate gums and make teeth more sensitive. You may need more than one treatment for optimal results, depending on your dietary habits and the shade you want. These can be expensive and whitening treatments are not always covered by dental insurance. Since these treatments are done only once or twice, the bleaching solution may not soak into the enamel under your brackets.  For optimal results, wait to use this method until after your braces are taken off. However, if your brackets are on the back of your teeth this method is ideal as bleaching gel is only applied to the front of your teeth. This method might be a good option for you if your teeth have darkened since you got braces. Since it might not bleach the area under your brackets, it may be best to try other alternatives first. In-office whitening can be very expensive.  The average cost of in-office whitening procedures is $650.00. Compared to other very effective at-home treatments, this procedure costs much more. You will have to go to a dentist's office to get this treatment done. Not all dentists offer this service. The gel can have a very unpleasant taste and the cheek guards can be uncomfortable, as you will have to keep your mouth open for an hour or so. It may require more than one session to completely whiten your teeth. The best results come...

TL;DR in English: Consider in-office professional whitening treatments. Prepare to spend at least an hour to an hour and a half at each treatment. Understand that with this method you might have darker areas under your brackets. Be aware of the drawbacks of this procedure.

Try to keep a sense of normalcy so your child will not feel like the new baby is changing everything. Especially try to avoid major upheavals such as potty-training or a new childcare situation right before or after the birth. Your child can hold the baby (even toddlers can do this under close supervision, sitting down, with the baby on a pillow in the child's lap), sing to the new baby, try to "teach" the baby to smile, read to the new baby, and so on. For example, you can make a "Welcome Home" card with the child, spending quality time during the making and also making a big deal out of giving the card to both mother and baby.  , "Baby, look what your smart big brother did, he tied his own shoes/made his own bed/found the remote for me" and "Baby, when you grow up, Big Sister can show you how to play Candyland." Many many many times your older children will have to wait while you take care of the baby. Every once in a while, make the baby wait. If you're taking a mother-and-baby exercise class, for example, make a point of doing something special with your older child about equally often.  This will help your child see that there's still time for just the two of you. Even a trip to the grocery story without the baby can be fun for your older child if you're not too exhausted to be nice. Your child will naturally resent the baby if he or she feels the baby is preventing your family from doing fun things together. Show your child that the new baby is part of the family - this is important because young children sometimes do not understand that the baby is here to stay - by planning family outings where you can bring the baby along to share in the fun.

TL;DR in English: Keep the child's daily routines as normal as possible before, during, and after the birth. Figure out positive ways for your child to interact with the baby. Reward and reinforce behavior that's welcoming and positive, so that the child associates being a good sibling with having a happy parent and a happy family. As much as you possibly can, ignore or overlook behavior that's unwelcoming and negative - the very last thing you want to do is to teach your older child that your precious attention and time can be obtained just as easily by pinching the baby or by saying "I hate the baby" as by offering to bring the baby a clean diaper. Try talking to the baby about the older child when the older child is nearby, e.g. Don't *always* drop what you're doing as soon as the baby cries. Do fun things alone with your older child, especially if you do things with just the baby. Do fun things as a family.

Some students learn best when they can look at a sample of what you're trying to teach them, and it might be useful for them to have an example to fall back on later in the process. For elementary school age students, use examples that are more opinion-based. Focus on more academically based examples for middle and high school students.  For example, you might show elementary school age students a piece of writing that argues that one brand of soda is better than the other. The best brand of soda is based on opinion, but your students will still see that they still have to give reasons or justification that supports their opinion. For middle and high school age students, a good example might be an article that argues that older teens need more sleep than elementary age children. This article will likely use scientific research to support its claims, so your students will see that the reasons and justifications they give to support their position need to based on more than how they feel about a particular subject. Once you've shown your students examples of persuasive writing, lead a discussion during which you ask your students to point out what they found effective about the writing and what they thought didn't work. For example, if you've read a piece about the benefits of more sleep for older students, you could say "Do you think older students need more sleep? Why?" Your students therefore not only have to assess the article's argument, but how the author used evidence to support that argument. Once your students have evaluated a completed piece of persuasive writing, show them what the process of creating one looks like by talking through it with them. You may also start with an explanation of what you want your students to do and then provide the example.  For example, using an overhead projector, start drafting your own essay on a topic you've selected beforehand. Think out loud and write as you go so that your students can actually see what the writing process looks like, and so they can see that even...

TL;DR in English: Show your students examples of persuasive writing. Ask your students what they found effective. Show your students what you want them to do.

Anything that you can do to break your body into sections rather than emphasizing the length with one long garment will help you seem shorter. You can do this by wearing different colors, patterns, and layers of clothing.  For example, you could wear a pink top with pair of jeans and white shoes. You could even add a cardigan or a belt to add another layer. Adding a belt with an interesting buckle or some shoes with some eye catching details may also help to make you seem shorter.  Or, you could layer two tops of different colors and lengths. The different colors and layers will help to break up your body and make you seem shorter. Wearing pants with cuffs on the bottom or rolling up your pants can make you seem shorter. Try buying pants that have cuffs sewn on the bottom, or just roll the bottoms of your pants up to your ankles or just above your ankles. To roll up your pants, take the bottom of the pant leg and fold it over so that the inside of the pant leg is showing. Do this once or twice, depending on how short you want to make your pants look. Clothing with vertical stripes and colors that are different can make you appear taller. Instead of vertical stripes and monochromatic colors, wear horizontal stripes and a variety of patterns and colors. Horizontal stripes emphasize your width rather than your height, which can help you look shorter.  Horizontal stripes are common in nautically themed patterns. Wearing a brightly colored or patterned shirt means that the attention is on your upper body rather than on your legs.  Wearing a skirt or pants that are a completely different color from your top breaks up the appearance of your height. You may also consider textured patterns (herringbone, birdseye) and waistcoats/vests. Using a wide belt is good when you are wearing a long dress and want to encourage people to forget how tall you are. A belt divides your look in half, giving you the illusion of an hourglass figure. The wider the better. Use them to cinch down dresses and long tops. Any clothing that...

TL;DR in English: Break up your body with layers and colors. Wear cuffed pants. Put on horizontal stripes and multiple colors. Wear a wide belt over dresses. Try capri pants, short skirts, and boot cut pants. Use long tops. Carry a giant bag.

Use a mild soap to gently wash the outer parts of your vagina and the area around it. Don’t wash out the inside of your vagina. Make sure to wash your hands well. Rinse your vaginal area and hands to completely remove the soap. Pat your skin dry using a clean cotton cloth. Cleaning your vagina and hands can prevent the spread of bacteria into your vagina as you insert the suppository. Unwrap the suppository applicator from its packaging and determine if it's already pre-filled with the cream or tablet. If it isn't pre-filled, hold the applicator between your thumb and forefinger and use your other hand to place the cream or tablet at the other end of the applicator.  To fill an applicator with a cream suppository, connect the tube of cream to the applicator so that it's tightly attached. Squeeze the tube of cream till the correct dose is in the applicator. Remove the tube and save it for your next dose. The applicator provided for delivering a cream suppository usually has marks on it that tell you how much is in the applicator, such as 1 gram, 2 grams, etc. Stand with your legs and knees apart. Raise one foot up on a stool, the edge of the toilet, the bathtub or a chair. Or, you can lie on your back with your knees bent. Your feet should be about shoulder width apart.  Both of these positions will give you easier access to your vaginal opening which will make it easier to insert the suppository. Use your non-dominant hand to separate the lips (labia) of your vulva. This will expose your vagina. Keep it exposed while you use your dominant hand to place the suppository at the vaginal opening. Although it may seem difficult at first, try to relax. Remind yourself that it will take a little getting used to and you can continue to try until you successfully insert the suppository. Insert the suppository applicator or use your forefinger to insert the suppository into your vagina. Push it as far as is comfortable so that the suppository is in your vagina. If you're using an applicator, push the plunger so all of...

Learn the aspects of the STAR system. Define who you are first. Start your answer with a description of the situation and task. Explain the action(s) you took. Reveal the results of your action(s). Ask follow up questions.

You will want to reach out to potential customers in ways that make them want to use your business. This is especially important when you are first starting before you have an established, regular customer base.  Advertise in a way that catches customers attention at a minimum and hopefully goes beyond to capture their imagination. Be creative and appeal to the right aspects of the customers you want to use your business. Offer free samples of what you do to the right people, in order to get people saying good things about what you have to offer. Word of mouth (i.e. good PR) is the best way to attract new customers. If you get bad reviews or negative feedback, respond positively and fix the problem. People will be much less judgmental about mistakes if you're willing to fix them. Go to conferences, charity galas, meetings with complementary businesses and anywhere where your customers are likely to be highly concentrated. In other words: get out in public and interact with people. Use your friend's connections to meet people who may be able to help you. This kind of interaction is very important for starting a business. You can't exist in a vacuum after all. Be good at interacting with people. Practice reading between the lines of what people say. Learn how to meet needs they didn't know they had. Figure out how to make people happy. Be charming. Most importantly, be humble. The customer may not always be right but you need to be able to let them think they are. The world has moved online. Any business that wants to survive the next ten years is going to have a website. People will use it to contact you, find your location, learn your operating hours, ask you questions, make suggestions, and maybe even buy your products or services. In having a website and services which are available over the internet, you will be able to expand your service area out across your region or even the world.

TL;DR in English: Make use of marketing and PR. Use a little old fashioned networking. Have great customer service skills. Have a website.

One of those bits of “old-time” wisdom that still circulates today is the idea that it is better to clean a small cut, then let it “air out” and scab over.  Like putting butter on a burn or tilting your head back during a nosebleed, however, this is false.  Small wounds actually heal better in a moist environment, in which blood vessels regenerate faster and inflammation-causing cells multiply more slowly.  So, preventing scab formation actually aids the healing process.  It may be no surprise that the company behind Band-Aids promotes covering cuts and scrapes instead of airing them out, but they have science on their side. Sometimes the worst part of pulling away a bandage is not the sticky adhesive, but dried blood / scabbing that pulls away with the bandage and reopens the wound.  Proper preparation can make this less likely.  Stop the bleeding of a minor cut or scrape by applying pressure with gauze, a paper towel, a clean cloth, etc.  Apply gentle pressure for up to 15 minutes, until all bleeding has stopped. For a large cut or wound, an excessively dirty wound, or a wound that won't stop bleeding, get medical help. Rinse the area with clean water and gently clean the wound with soap and water.  Rinse again and pat dry with a clean cloth, etc.  Don't use hydrogen peroxide or one of those old wound cleaners your grandfather swore by -- just plain old soap and water. Hydrogen peroxide and iodine can irritate an injury. Antibiotic ointments have shown little evidence in helping wounds heal faster, but they do help keep the wound moist and make sticking less likely upon bandage removal.  That said, plain old petroleum jelly will provide the same moistening / lubricating benefit.  Apply a small dab only over the wound itself, so the bandage will stick where it should. Choose a bandage that is large enough so that the pad (the part that isn't sticky) covers the entire wound with a little room to spare.  Try not to touch the pad when applying to reduce infection chances.  Especially when wrapping a bandage...

TL;DR in English: Don't avoid removing a bandage by not using one. Prepare wounds properly for bandaging. Consider moistening the wound to inhibit sticking. Cover the wound with a bandage. Get out your razor, if necessary. Have faith in medical science.

Coping skills are ways that you can feel better or deal with a situation more effectively. Having more coping skills to reduce feeling overwhelmed or out of control is associated with a better outcome for individuals who have survived abusive situations. Coping skills can be fun and entertaining such as: listening to music, watching movies, and playing games or sports. Reduce the intensity of your emotions, discharge your feelings, divide them into manageable parts, or get outside support. Some specific coping skills for dealing with feelings include: writing them down, using art to express them, and exercising to release tension in the body.  Pretend your abuser is sitting in a chair and say what you want to say. Yell, scream, curse -- let it all out. Write a letter of confrontation to your abuser. You do not need to send it but this may help you process and work through some of your feelings. Relaxation techniques have been linked to lowered stress levels.  Progressive muscle relaxation is one technique where you progressively tense and relax different muscle groups throughout your body until you become relaxed. Start with tensing your toes for 5 seconds, then relax them for10- 30 seconds. Then move slowly up your body all the way to the top of you head (from toes, to feet, to legs, and so on).  Deep breathing is another option where you simply breathe deeply through your nose, and breathe out through your mouth. Pay attention to your breathing and when you get distracted return to thinking only about your breathing. Some strategies that are unhelpful in the long-term include: blaming the self, minimizing the abuse (saying or thinking it was not that bad), denial, and rationalizing (thinking that the abuse was normal or okay). Focus on what you can control instead of what you cannot control.  Focus on your own goals such as doing well in school or learning how to play a sport or instrument. Focus on your own hopes and dreams. Think about what you want to become and start getting information about it or...

TL;DR in English: Understand coping. Deal with your feelings. Use relaxation techniques, mindfulness, or meditation. Identify unhelpful coping strategies and limit them. Work on controlling other parts of your life.

Roughly chop enough sweet onion to measure 1/8 to 1/4 cup (20 to 40 g). You'll also need to chop 1 clove of garlic. Transfer the onion and garlic to a food processor or blender. Use measuring spoons or a digital scale to measure the rest of the sauce ingredients and add them to the blender. You'll need:  2 tablespoons (30 g) mayonnaise 3 tablespoons (45 ml) vegetable oil 2 tablespoons (30) cream or half-and-half 2 tablespoons (30 ml) apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) salt Put the lid on the blender and blend the ingredients until the sauce becomes completely smooth and creamy. Finally, give the sauce a taste test and add extra salt or pepper if desired. You can refrigerate the leftover sauce in an airtight container for a few days. Just remember to stir it again before serving it to regain the texture after it is refrigerated.

Teamwork questions are best answered through what is known as the STAR system. This is an acronym that outlines the four part answer you should give to a teamwork question.  "S" stands for "situation." This overviews the situation in which you had to work as a team. "T" stands for "task." Explain the task you needed to complete as part of a team. "A" stands for "actions." What actions did you take as a team member to successfully complete the task? "R" stands for "results." Give some concrete results here. How did your actions help the company? In what ways was the situation resolved due to your efforts? Introduce your answer to a team player question by telling the interviewer what type of person you are. Are you process-oriented or results-driven? Are your comfortable relinquishing decisions to a team? Are you patient or impatient? Do you accept or give criticism well? This gives a brief overview of how you function as a team player, which will be followed with an example illustrating this personality trait.  The answer should start with "I am the type of person who..." after which you explain your general personality. Then, you should say, "I like to..." and explain how your general personality manifests itself in action. For example, "I'm the kind of person who likes to focus on what someone does right over what they do wrong. I like to explain how a team member can use their good qualities in a situation in order to outweigh their flaws." From here, you need to illustrate how the above statement played out in a specific situation. What was your responsibility in the situation? What task did you have to complete? Choose a recent example of your teamwork experience. Pick an example relevant to the initial statement you made.  For example, "I was responsible for providing one-on-one feedback to a group of freelance writers who worked for our publication." This outlines the situation. You managed freelance writers, and your responsibility was providing feedback. From here, get specific. What task presented a...

Make the decision to try to forgive. Learn what forgiveness is not. Own the fact that forgiveness is for you.

Pick a field that you're not only an expert in, make sure that it's something you're passionate about. You can consult for just about any type of business, but here are some of the most popular fields (see a longer list here).  Accounting Advertising Communications Marketing Public Relations In most cases, a bachelor's degree in a related field is the bare minimum for becoming a consultant. An advanced degree, such as a Master of Business Administration (MBA) will greatly improve your chances, especially when paired with courses in the following:  Strategic Management Consulting Practices Business Development Even though you may be working for yourself, you have become a business and may need to take the proper legal steps before operating.  These steps may vary depending on the state your operating within and the type of business you'll be consulting.  For example, a financial consultant should have certificates for Financial Planning (FP) and the Member of the Society of Financial Advisors (MSFA). Fund-raising consultants don't need special certification, although you can become certified through the National Society of Fund Raising Executives. And in some states, you may need to register as a professional fund-raising consultant before starting your business. If you've just graduated, this is a terrific way to learn the ropes of a business without being too bogged down by the corporate process. You'll see a lot and most likely have an opportunity to work on multiple projects, thus expanding your knowledge of the business.

The stem of the wineglass is designed so your hand doesn’t touch the bowl and spread fingerprints over the glass or warm the wine with your body heat. They also make the glass easier and more comfortable to hold, allowing you to slowly sip and savor your wine.Because wine is meant to be sipped, you want glasses that are comfortable to hold for a long amount of time. Stemless wine glasses are more durable because they don’t have a delicate stem that can crack, chip, or break. But when you hold a stemless glass, the heat from your hand causes the wine in the glass to warm up, which alters its flavor profile and drinkability. To make your wine experience more enjoyable, go with glasses that have a stem.Stemless glasses will really cause white wines, sparkling wine, and champagne to warm up and make it less enjoyable.

TL;DR in English: Pick glasses with long stems to sip the wine comfortably. Avoid stemless wine glasses so your wine doesn’t heat up.

Sports drinks also have other functional ingredients added. A basic sports drink will have water, carbohydrates and electrolytes. Some of the more target specific sports drinks may also have protein, vitamins and minerals, caffeine or amino acids. You may want some of these additional ingredients, depending on what the sports drink is for. Electrolytes act as buffers in the blood stream to ensure cells maintain proper function and help with water movement and retention in the body. Most sports drinks add sodium and potassium for this. According to the Institute of Sports Medicine, sodium plays a very important role in helping to retain water to prevent dehydration, so sodium is important. The effect of potassium as hydration aid in sports drinks has been found to be minimal. Added calcium and potassium would be good examples of minerals that are important to muscle function. They may help people prone to muscle cramps during exercise. Zinc has been shown to help the body use energy more efficiently. Magnesium can promote relaxation after a workout. Studies have shown protein and carbohydrates consumed within an hour after exercise increases muscle synthesis and decreases fatigue. Milk, whey and soy protein have all been shown to be very effective post workout. This helps to decrease damage to the muscles and reduce fatigue. Amino acids at amounts as low as 1% have been shown to have an effect on performance and fatigue. This would be an ideal addition to a sports drink that would be consumed during endurance exercise, such as a marathon or triathlon.

TL;DR in English: Have an understanding of all of the ingredients. Check for electrolytes. Choose a drink with vitamins and minerals. Choose a drink with added protein for a post workout recovery drink. Choose a drink with added amino acids.

You want to be able to sit in the ocean without the water coming past your chest. Be sure to face the horizon and incoming waves. Even if you are only knee-deep in the water, you still need to keep an eye out for waves. Small waves can suddenly turn into large waves. Even if part of you is hidden in the water, it is still a good idea to keep your swimsuit on. Make sure that your thighs are not touching. Lean back slightly, and support your weight on your palms. Pretend that you are enjoying the water. You should still be facing the horizon. If you don't like the feeling of sand against your skin, you can try squatting or crouching instead. You may need to go a little bit deeper into the ocean for this. Do not go so deep that the water goes past your chest. Act like you are taking a rest, or people may begin to suspect. Once you are finished, continue sitting or crouching in the water for a little bit. If you stand up too soon, people may catch on to what you just did. You will need to shift forward to a crouching, squatting, or kneeling position. If you do not do this, you may get sand inside your swimsuit. Make sure that your waist and everything below is still underwater. If you are wearing swim shorts, take hold of one of the legs. Give it a few quick shakes, then let go. If you are wearing a one-piece swimsuit or a bikini, start by taking hold of the bottom—the swatch of fabric right between the two leg holes. Tug down gently and then let go after a few seconds. Wash your swimsuit when you get home with some soap and warm water. This will help prevent any bad smells. Even though you are in water, there will still be some residue left over. If you are wearing swim shorts, grab hold of one of the legs by the cuff and shake it for a few seconds. If you are wearing a bikini or a one-piece swimsuit, take hold of the fabric between the leg holes. Pull down on it for a moment, then let go. Remember to wash your swimsuit using soap and warm water when you get home. This will keep your swimsuit from getting smelly.

TL;DR in English: Go out no further than knee-deep. Turn to face the horizon and the incoming waves. Keep your swimsuit on. Consider sitting down in the water. Try squatting instead. Wait for a few moments before standing back up. Know how to rinse off if you have been sitting. Know how to rinse off if you have been squatting.

If you are carrying around a lot of resentment, anger, or hurt over something that happened in the past, you may find that you are unhappy and unable to find peace. Perhaps the best thing that you can do for your own emotional health is to practice forgiveness, even if the person who wronged you does not appear to feel sorry. Numerous studies show the value of forgiveness. If you carry around negative emotions for a long time after someone hurts you, you can bring anger and bitterness to new relationships, stop enjoying everyday life, and become anxious or depressed. In order to forgive someone, you do not have to excuse their actions to yourself. You don't even have to eliminate all of your feelings about the situation. It's perfectly normal to go on thinking of an incident even after you have forgiven a person for it.  You also don't have to tell a person that they are forgiven, though if it makes you feel better to do so, this is certainly a possibility. You don't have to forget in order to forgive. In other words, protect yourself. If possible, don't put yourself in a situation where you could be hurt again. For example, even if you successfully forgive an abusive ex-boyfriend, remember that he was abusive when you are tempted to return to that relationship. Forgiving someone else can help you heal and help you move on from an unhealthy relationship.  Particularly if the person you are trying to forgive shows no remorse, forgiveness will be something that you do for your own mental health, not to improve your relationship with the other person. Remember that forgiveness is probably the best thing you can do for yourself, even if the person you are forgiving has no idea that you've done so.

If a stream or river runs through a paddock space, it can provide a source of water for your cattle. You can construct an access ramp, so that cows can access the water easier without polluting it. Or, you can use a siphon system to fill up water tanks from this source.  Another alternative is to install an animal-operated pasture pump. This is a water pump that is triggered by a cow’s nose pressing against the lever in the water tank. Then, the water is automatically siphoned up from the river to fill the tank. If you are using a freshwater spring or river as a water source, it’s important to clean it out periodically to ensure that it doesn’t become contaminated and spread disease. As a general rule, cattle need daily access to between 1-2 gallons of fresh water per 100 pounds of body weight. This means that you’ll want at least 1 tank per paddock that can hold the minimal amount of daily water for the animals in that space. Pastured cattle can survive by primarily eating grass. However, if your cattle are primarily in a dry-lot or if the weather is poor, then supplementing with grain or hay is a good idea. Talk with your vet about which grain or hay to use and how much to feed your cattle.  Use a hay rack or clean feed container in a paddock or barn to give your cattle hay or grain. Wet, moldy food can actually sicken your animals. If the hay or grain gets wet, discard it immediately. Feeding your cattle grain helps you to form a positive relationship with them, too. They’ll associate you with food and are more likely to come to your calls. Cattle can’t store salt in their system, which means that they need to ingest it daily for health. Fill up a feeder with a fortified trace mineral salt mixture and place it near where your cattle sleep at night whether in a paddock or barn. In addition, place at least 1 rock salt and mineral-blend block in each paddock.  You can purchase these salt products at your local feed store or even online through an agricultural supply company. As a general rule, a 1,300-1,400...

TL;DR in English: Supply fresh water for your cattle. Supplement their diet with feed. Provide a source of salt. Work with a livestock vet to monitor your herd’s health.

After attaching the garden hose, head to the faucet and turn on the water. Check your manual to see if it specifies a water pressure setting. Many manufacturers recommend setting it to about half pressure. Do not start the engine before turning on the water. Make sure the gearshift or throttle is in the neutral position. The engine needs to be in neutral to start and should stay in neutral while you run it. If you need to put the engine in gear to test the propeller's function, use caution and make sure no people or objects go near the moving propeller. . Depending on your engine type, insert the key or pull the starter to engage the engine. For some electric engines, you’ll also need to push and release a button after turning the key. You should see a stream of water flowing out of the top of the motor. If there’s no overflow stream, there’s something wrong with your water pump. If there’s no stream, turn off the engine immediately. Insert a thin wire into the outflow tube to check for debris. Start the engine again to see if that solved the problem. If there’s still no outflow, you will likely need to have a mechanic replace your water pump.

The worst possible place to fart (other than inside a car) is inside an elevator. If you feel the need, there are ways you can reduce the problem.  Hold it until the elevator door opens.  The good part is that the elevator doors will make noise when they open and close. Secondarily, new people will come into the elevator when the door opens, and other people will go out. Thus, the new people might blame the farting on one of the people who just left the elevator (and you can blame them too without them being there to deny it). It’s often best, though, to just remain silent because there will be so many suspects no one will know whom to blame anyway. If you’re afraid the fart will be loud, wait for something naturally noisy before you let it rip.  For example, if you’re in a movie theater, wait until there’s a particularly loud sound effect on the screen. In a restaurant, wait for the clattering of dishes or the loud talking of a couple about to walk past your table. At a family event, wait for the music or someone to make a loud toast or laughter from a joke. Rather than waiting for other people to make noise, you can make noise yourself right as you are about to fart.  Cough loudly right as you are about to fart. In fact, cough several times as if you are in a coughing fit, and then reach for a glass of water. Move your chair loudly so that it rubs along the floor or makes noise. If you’re sitting on vinyl move your body so your legs create a rubbing sound on the chair. Pretend the fart is the sound of your chair squeaking.  Start singing if the occasion allows for it, start talking a lot and loudly, sneeze, or rattle a dish. If you’re worried about public flatulence, there are steps you can take to reduce gas before you go out into public.  A dash of cayenne pepper sprinkled into a glass of water is supposed to reduce gas. Ginger can help too. Eating and drinking slowly, avoiding carbonated beverages, avoiding smoking, and using antacids can also help.  Don’t chew gum. It can cause gas buildup. Avoid foods...

TL;DR in English: Fart in an elevator. Wait for something noisy. Make noise yourself. Reduce gas in the first place.

Shrimp can be a great addition to a basic pasta dish. You can cook your choice of pasta and mix in things like Parmesan cheese, garlic, and dried basil in for flavor. Mix some freshly heated shrimp into your pasta for a nutritious dish. For added nutrition, add some sauteed vegetables to your dish. Simple garlic and butter can add a mild but tasty flavor to shrimp. Add about a spoonful or so of butter and a couple of cloves of minced garlic to your shrimp. Mix the shrimp together until they're coated in the garlic and butter and then enjoy. If you're having a party, heat up some pre-cooked shrimp. Place it in a dish next to cocktail sauce. Your guests can enjoy snacking on shrimp throughout the night. A salad can be great for lunch of dinner. If you want to add a little extra protein, toss in a handful of shrimp. This will make your salad more filling, cutting back on excessive snacking throughout the day.

TL;DR in English: Make shrimp pasta. Cook your shrimp in garlic and butter. Serve your shrimp as a snack. Add shrimp to salads.

If you’re hoping to learn more about Tolkien’s languages, there are two appendices – A and F – in one of the books from the Lord of the Rings series that should be your primary sources.  These appendices describe the various languages, as well as different types of letters, in detail. These appendices also contain a guide to pronunciation of Tolkien’s languages, as well as music to which Tolkien wrote Elvish lyrics. The manuscripts for many of Tolkien’s works are stored in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at Marquette University.  The margins of the manuscripts include all sorts of notes about how and why he chose or developed certain Elvish words.  Further, unpublished works contain new Elvish words that continue to be “discovered.” The Elvish Linguistic Fellowship is another source of a wealth of material, some of which was created using some of Tolkien’s unpublished works. An Introduction to Elvish, written by Jim Allen, is widely respected as the most substantial work on Tolkien’s languages.  However, many consider it to be outdated.  The Languages of Tolkien’s Middle-earth is reportedly “less accurate,” but is still recommended. The Tolkien Society recommends several other sources for further reading. You read that right.  You can take courses and tutorials online developed by people who have extensively studied Tolkien’s languages.  The modern languages in which these lessons are taught vary, as so the approach and inspiration that led to their creation.

TL;DR in English:


Choose archival backing and mat boards for original artwork. Choose standard backing and mats boards for less valuable art. Use a wide mat border for smaller pieces. Use a narrow mat border for large, impressive pieces. Choose white matting to limit distractions from the art. Choose neutrals for a soft but subtle mat. Choose colors that don’t compete with the artwork. Put photographs in 3-inch (7.62 cm) white mats for a crisp look.

The “mother” contains the bacteria needed to begin the process of turning ethanol into acetic acid. It sometimes forms in opened bottles of wine, and looks like a slimy blob floating on the surface. You can buy “mother” (sometimes marketed as “vinegar starter”) in this gelatinous form, or as a liquid—look for it in homebrew or natural foods stores, or online.  If you’re adding gelatinous “mother” from a store, follow the package instructions regarding the amount to add—you’ll just spoon it on top of the alcohol in your jar. For liquid vinegar starter, pour in 12  fl oz (350 ml), unless otherwise noted on the package. The “mother” reforms every time you make a batch of vinegar. So, if you’ve made vinegar before, or have a friend who has, you can use the “mother” that formed in a previous batch. Just spoon it out and put it into your new jar.  You can repeat this process over and over again for years, if desired. It’s fine to use a “mother” from one type of vinegar (e.g., wine) to start another (e.g., cider). Simply lay the paper towel or cheesecloth over the top of the jar, then stretch a rubber band over the mouth of the jar. You need to cover the jar with a permeable material so that fresh air can circulate inside. Don’t leave the jar uncovered. Dust or dirt may get in, and there’s a good chance you’ll end up with a bunch of drowned fruit flies floating in your vinegar! Find a shelf on your pantry or similar location that’s fairly dark and gets decent air circulation. The conversion into vinegar will occur at temperatures between 59 and 94 °F (15 and 34 °C), but 80–85 °F (27–29 °C) is the ideal range—so pick out a warm spot if possible.  If you can’t find a dark spot, wrap the jar in a thick kitchen towel—but don’t cover the cheesecloth or paper towel lid. Don’t shake, stir, or (if possible) move the jar during the initial 2 month waiting period. This will make it easier for the “mother” to form and do its work. You’ll notice the scent of vinegar and possibly some more funky smells coming from the jar during...

TL;DR in English: Place or pour a store-bought “mother” into the jar. Use a homemade “mother” instead if you’ve saved it from prior vinegar making. Seal the jar with a rubber band and cheesecloth or a paper towel. Place the jar in a dark, airy, temperate place for 2 months.

Just as with outdoor soccer, you will need a pair of shin guards, long socks, and shoes. However, instead of outdoor soccer cleats, you will need a pair of indoor soccer shoes, which differ by having flat outsoles. Lightweight sneakers or running shoes can also work in a pinch, but you will not have the same speed and ease of movement. If you are an outdoor soccer player adapting to playing indoors, spend some time getting used to juggling the ball indoors. Whether you are playing on astroturf or a hard, smooth surface, the ball will have far less traction and you will likely have to move your feet more quickly to control the ball across the field. Indoor soccer is faster-paced than outdoor soccer, which will keep you in shape and also sharpen your playing skills but the rapid pace will take some getting used to.  Focus on making quick passes and small, controlled movements with your feet until playing faster comes naturally. Be more verbally communicative. Because the game is so fast and you are in an enclosed space, expect to talk to your teammates more. Oftentimes you may deliver a pass only to find yourself in a great spot to receive the ball again. In these moments, it’s best to yell “pass” or otherwise let your teammates know where you are positioned.

TL;DR in English: Get the right gear. Practice playing with the ball indoors. Play fast.

The people making fun of you expect you to react negatively by either getting angry or being sad, so laughing will throw them off. Give a big hearty laugh like the mocking is the funniest thing you have ever heard. This will deflect the attack and show how little power they have over you.  Slap your knee and really exaggerate how funny you think their comments are. Say something like “that’s a new one” or “that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day.” Say something like “that’s enough” or “quit being rude.” In the moment, it can be difficult to focus on anything other than the mockery that is being directed towards you. However, mentally leaving the situation may help you better deal with it. Try thinking of a place that is peaceful and makes you feel happy. This will help you stay calm and not let the attacks hurt you. You can also imagine a brick wall between you and those mocking you that is deflecting their comments. A sick burn is a great way to turn the tables on those mocking you. This tells them that you are above their comments and makes them look bad in the process. A clever comeback sends the message that you are not an easy target and there are consequences for messing with you.  Say something like “wow, did you come up with that all by yourself” or “pardon me, but you seem to think that I care.” Try the “Yes, and…” technique. If someone is giving you a hard time about something just respond by acknowledging their teasing and then inserting a joke. For example, if someone zings your new haircut by saying “Nice haircut. Joining a punk band?” You can reply with “Yeah, and tomorrow I’m piercing lips, nose, and mouth.” Although it might seem counterintuitive, sometimes the best way to deflect mocking is to acknowledge it. Addressing part of the bullies’ attacks takes the power away from them and puts you in control. You can then reframe their attack in a way that you want. For example, if you are being mocked about wearing a hat they consider “weird,” you can respond by saying “yeah, it looks weird...

TL;DR in English: Laugh at the ridicule. Think about something else. Give a witty comeback. Roll with the teasing. Act like it did not happen.

Washing your mosquito bite will clean the surrounding skin and reduce the chance of an infection. Both of these treatments can reduce itching. Calamine lotion is an antipruritic with zinc oxide and ferric oxide that is used to treat itching. Over-the-counter hydrocortisone has a small amount of steroid that helps relieve itching and is also widely used. Icing the mosquito bite will help reduce pain and swelling. Hold the ice pack on your bite for 10 minutes at a time.

TL;DR in English: Wash the bite with soap and cold water as soon as possible. Apply calamine lotion or a Hydrocortisone (anti-itch) cream to the bite. Hold an ice pack over the bite.

Archival materials are designed to preserve artwork by using acid-free paper that won’t damage your pieces. This is the stuff that museums use on their collections, so you know it’s high quality. These materials will cost you a little more. However, if you’re matting expensive prints or original artwork, this is the way to go. If you’re matting a print that’s less expensive, you may not be as concerned with damage. Be aware that while it may take years for standard backing and mat boards to affect your prints, it will happen eventually. If you’re matting something that you care about (even if it’s not pricey!), pick the archival-quality materials. To highlight smaller artwork or photographs, set them in wide-bordered mats. This will make the piece look more dramatic. It’ll also draw observers’ attention to the center of the piece. Measuring the border will depend on the size of the piece. Your border should measure as wide as at least 25% of the shortest edge. So if your piece is 8 in. by 12 in. (20.32 cm by 30.48 cm), you’ll need a minimum of 2 inches (5.08 cm) for the border. Go up an inch or two (2.54-5.08 cm) to make this a wider border. Larger artwork generally speaks for itself. It doesn’t need any added flair. It’s especially important to keep elaborate or detailed large pieces in windows with thin borders. Keep your border at the minimum measurement (25% of the shortest edge) for a narrow width. Don’t think of white as boring, as white will allow your pieces to shine all on their own. White matting also provides a clean look. White is perfect for original artwork, as it’ll allow observers to focus only on the art itself. If you’d like to add a little more character to your matting without distracting from the artwork, try other neutrals. Grays, beiges, and off-whites can all be great choices. This can allow you to add diversity to your mat boards without overshadowing your pieces. If you do decide to go with other colors, choose carefully. You need colors that complement the artwork, rather than...

TL;DR in English:


Include a couple pairs of black or neutral colored patent pumps. Add 1 to 3 pairs of neutral colored sandals or ballet flats. Include some good quality walking shoes. Consider at least one scarf. Include a versatile coat. Include casual leather shoes for men.

Your doctor should be able to offer advice on whether or not you require chlorophyll supplementation. In some cases, chlorophyll supplements should be avoided. For example, since there has been a lack of safety research on chlorophyll supplements, pregnant women should avoid commercial supplements.  If your doctor advises against supplementation, you can still get your chlorophyll from natural sources such as kale, spinach or broccoli. In fact, eating green vegetables daily is a much better way to get chlorophyll into your diet along with fiber and other nutrients. Keep in mind that chlorophyll supplements may not be recommended if you are taking other medications or if you are pregnant or nursing. Check with your doctor to be sure. If you are unable to get enough chlorophyll from vegetables, you could use a supplement. Chlorophyll supplements can give you a boost of energy, as well as provide a number of potential health benefits. You can find chlorophyll supplements at most health food stories. Ask the health food clerk which brands are reputable. If there are no health food stores nearby, shop online.  You can get chlorophyll supplements in a variety of combinations, including with papaya, spirulina and green mixes containing a variety of other vitamins and minerals. Chlorophyll supplements cost between $15 and $70. Also, keep in mind that the FDA does not regulate supplements. Check the label for other indicators of quality, such as a USP label or other 3rd party verification. You can get chlorophyll supplements in a variety of forms, including tablets and liquids. If you choose the liquid form, you squirt a few drops in a glass of water. It will get very green and tastes slightly minty and a little bitter. If you choose the tablet form, you don't have to worry about the strong taste. Follow the dosage recommendations on the label, or as directed by your naturopath or doctor. Many juice stores sell chlorophyll water, which is water with some liquid chlorophyll. If you are on the run and forgot to take...

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor before starting chlorophyll supplements. Shop for chlorophyll supplements. Choose a supplement form. Buy chlorophyll water.

Regular screenings increase your chance of being diagnosed with cancer early, which means the disease will have less of a chance to spread and there will probably be more treatment options available than there would be if the disease were discovered later. Many screenings are offered for free or for low costs at clinics around the country, so do some research to find out what's available near you. The CDC recommends screenings for breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, prostate, skin, and ovarian cancers. The screenings you need will depend on your age, gender, family history, and other risk factors. Talk to a doctor or read the CDC's recommendations to determine which screenings you should get. Check local public health departments, community health centers, and free clinics to see if they offer free or low-cost vaccinations to people without insurance.  Even adults require a tetanus-diphtheria booster every 10 years.  The federal government's Vaccines for Children program is a great option for uninsured individuals under the age of 19 who need vaccines.  If you can't find a clinic that offers the vaccine you need at an affordable cost, check with the manufacturer of the vaccine to see if they offer any assistance to uninsured individuals. In the United States, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) maintains a database of health centers where you can obtain subsidized medical treatment. These centers provide check-ups and preventive care, treatment for illness, prenatal care, immunizations, dental care, and mental health services.  There are nearly 150 medical centers around the United States that are required by the federal government to provide free or reduced-cost services to those who meet certain income restrictions and are unable to pay for treatment. These facilities are known as Hill-Burton facilities.  Attending to your mental health is just as important as attending to your physical health. If you are unable to find a federally supported health center that will offer you the mental...

TL;DR in English: Get cancer screenings. Keep your immunizations up to date. Find a federally supported health center. Get help paying for your prescriptions. Get affordable dental care. Consult a nonprofit. Determine whether you are eligible for government benefits.

Dry brushing improves your circulation and helps your skin get rid of toxins, reducing the appearance of cellulite. Buy a body brush made with natural fibers and make dry brushing a part of your morning routine.  Make sure your skin and the brush are both dry before beginning. Starting at your feet, brush upward toward your heart. Concentrate on areas with a lot of cellulite, like your thighs and buttocks. Brush your arms from  your hands to your shoulders. Brush your stomach in a clockwise circular motion and your arms in an upward motion. All brushing movements should be made towards your heart to encourage the return of blood and lymphatic flow. Take a shower after brushing to wash away the dead skin cells and toxins that have risen to the surface. Taking measures to make your skin look tight and healthy doesn't actually get rid of cellulite, but it can go a long way toward temporarily reducing its appearance. Try the following techniques:  Bathe in lukewarm or cool water, rather than hot. Cool water tightens your skin and makes it look more toned. Moisturize your skin with a product that contains caffeine. Buy a cream or lotion that contains at least 5 percent caffeine, which is said to improve skin tone and decrease the appearance of cellulite. Use another topical product designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite. There are many creams and lotions on the market designed specifically for this purpose. You can reduce the appearance of cellulite by making the color of your skin look more even. Choose a spray tan product just a shade or two darker than your skin. Make sure to apply it evenly over your legs, not just in the areas where you have cellulite.

TL;DR in English: Start dry brushing your skin. Improve your skin tone. Use a spray tan product.

Locate an area of your yard or garden where you intend to plant the apple seeds. Prepare the ground by removing any weeds from the soil, pulling the weeds up by the roots. Also remove any large rocks or stones and break up any large clumps of soil.  Pick an area of your yard that receives direct sunlight and that has rich, well-draining soil. Well-draining soil means that water drains through the soil easily, rather than pooling on the surface of the ground. Well-draining soil is usually dark and fertile looking, as opposed to thick and clay-like. Try to plant the seeds in early spring. Before you plant your sprouted apple seeds, you want to be sure that the soil is as hospitable and nutrient-rich as possible. After weeding, spread a one inch (2.54 cm) layer of compost over the soil. You can prepare garden compost or buy it at a gardening store. Compost enriches soil with essential nutrients and also makes soil airier so that it can drain better. Use your hands or a garden spade to create an inch-deep (2.54 cm) furrow, or small trench, in the soil. If you are planting a number of seeds, create one long furrow. You need to extend the furrow 12 inches (30.4 cm) for every seed that will be planted. After you dig the furrows, plant the apple seeds in the ground, spacing each seed 12 inches (30.4 cm) apart from the next. Spacing the seeds gives them the space to grow and ensures that they won't compete for soil nutrients. After planting the sprouted seeds, brush a thin layer of soil over the furrows to protect them. Then sprinkle on a one inch (2.54 cm) layer of sand on top of the soil you brushed over. Sand protects the ground from crusting in cold weather, which can impede the sprouting of the seedlings above the soil.

TL;DR in English: Weed your garden plot. Spread compost over the soil. Create a furrow in the soil. Plant the sprouted seeds in the ground. Cover the seeds.

This will dress up any outfit. Don’t forget to try wearing them with jeans for a dressy casual look! Nude shoes will match with just about everything. You will want some flats that are dressy. Choose a pair of shoes that you could walk all day in. These could be anything from tennis shoes to sandals with great support depending on personal preference and lifestyle. Just add a scarf and change your shoes, and it’s a whole new outfit. A trench coat is a classic and never goes out of style. It will add sophistication to any look. If beige is your color, get it in beige. There will be times when dress shoes aren’t necessary but sneakers aren’t dressy enough. These could be loafers, boat shoes, or trail oxfords.

TL;DR in English:
