Order oysters. Know what to look for. Don't bite down. Purchase pearl oysters.

If you jump your parents to ask them about getting a profile right when they come home for work or first thing in the morning, they’re going to feel ambushed and will be more likely to say no. Increase your chances of getting them to let you have a profile by asking them when they’re relaxing at home.  Don’t try to make your parents happy right before you talk to them. This will come off as manipulative and make them suspicious that you want something you shouldn’t have. Talk to both of your parents at the same time. If you broach the subject with one of your parents when the other parent isn’t around, they’re more likely to say “I need to talk about this with mom/dad first.” Present your case in a calm tone, and take a breath between each sentence to create the impression that you’ve taken the time to think through your argument. Don’t raise your voice as you speak, and avoid saying “um” or “uh” in between points.Showing them that you’re mature and capable of building a good argument is an important part of leaning them in the right direction. Remember to listen to your parents’ counterarguments carefully before responding. You don’t want to come off as impulsive and easily-rattled. Offer to keep personal information and photos off of your Facebook profile by using a fake name, birthday, and setting your profile picture to something else. Cartoons, art, cars, or video game characters all make excellent replacements for a profile photo, and can serve as a way to show your friends what you’re interested in. One easy way to convince them is to offer to make your profile private. You can change the privacy settings in a Facebook profile by clicking “Settings” at the top of a Facebook home page. Then click “Privacy” and set each profile setting to “Private” or “Friends Only.”  If your profile is private and your posts are set to “Friends Only,” people won’t be able to see or interact with your profile or posts unless they’re friends with you. Making your profile private will keep you from coming up in searches...

TL;DR in English: Talk to your parents when they aren’t busy. Explain why you want a Facebook profile in a calm manner. Suggest making a profile with no personal photos or information. Offer to make your profile private and unsearchable. Explain that you will only add people that you know in real life. Agree to show them your profile whenever they want. Promise to limit the amount of time you spend on social media. Show them how to set up parental controls on Facebook. Don’t get frustrated if you don’t get what you want.

Surgical "debridement" refers to a "cleaning out" of the joint. Your surgeon will remove any scar tissue and damaged areas, as well as any other debris found in your joint. She will then reconstruct or replace the worn out surfaces in your joint as needed. Surgery on a joint can most often be done laparoscopically. What this means is that only a few small incisions will be made, and the surgeon will then use cameras inside your joint and small tools to clean the joint and to make repairs and replacements as needed. All surgery comes with certain risks, such as the risk of infection, the risk of causing further damage to the structures in your joint, and the risk of bleeding. However, these complications are very rare, and the benefits of surgery tend to far exceed the risks. On average, surgical repair of a joint with post-traumatic arthritis leads to very good results. Most people experience a reduction in pain, and perhaps even complete resolution of their pain. However, it usually takes a few months to completely recover from surgery and to regain function in the affected joint. You will need to be persistent and dedicated throughout the recovery process.  There will be discomfort initially following surgery. You can ask your physician about which pain medications to use to help control the post-surgical pain in the initial stages following the procedure. Some people need to use crutches, a cane, a walker, or a sling temporarily while the affected joint heals. You will likely be referred to a physiotherapist for a formal rehabilitation program following surgery on your injured joint.

TL;DR in English: Have your joint surgically debrided and reconstructed. Understand the risks of surgery. Be aware of the expected recovery time.

Farming is a term in which the player changes her or his attributes of attacking and defending so that s/he is mostly focused on resources, not trophies.  It involves intentionally losing so that you drop down to lower levels, giving you the opportunity to attack weaker opponents. Since Clash of Clans has several systems in place to try to prevent farming, it requires manipulating some things in your favor. Farming is based both on trophies and your Town Hall level. You receive penalties for attacking towns that are more than one level below your Town Hall, so you'll need to balance your level and your trophies. More on that later. Before you start farming, you will want to ensure that your town is set up properly to both protect your resources and allow you to lose enough to drop down to the level you want to be at. There are several strategies to keep in mind when designing your town.  Protect your storage's. Since you are farming for resources, you don't want your spoils going to a lucky invader. Place your storage's in the center of your town, surrounded by several walls and various defensive buildings. Place your Town Hall in your second layer of walls. This may seem like it will hurt, but that's the whole point. It gives you more room in your base for storages. People will also attack you, and if you put it inside the walls, but not in the core, many attackers will go for the Town Hall, getting 30% which equals a free 13 hr shield. Putting your Town Hall in the corner is not good because a Town Hall is worth 2 storages now. Do not put your storage's right next to each other. If you put them together, if the attackers get to your storage's, they have gotten to them all. By spreading them out, you reduce your overall loss of resources. Place high-level resource collectors inside walls and leave the others outside. Keep checking the game after every 6 to 8 hours and collect the resources from the collectors. This achievement is awarded after you win a certain number of trophies from multiplayer battles,...

TL;DR in English: Understand the basics of farming. Configure your town. Get the "Sweet Victory" achievement. Get about 1,100-1,200 trophies. Don't rush to upgrade your Town Hall.

This can be done through any search engine, but Google offers the widest range of sources. Type in the name of the show you want followed by the words “full episode.” If you have a specific episode in mind, type its name or number followed by “full episode.” This will give you a better chance of finding the episode instead of clips or discussions. It’s best to try this option if you want to watch for free but can’t find a video anywhere else. Find the word “videos” under the search bar and click on it. This pulls out readily available videos. Check these videos first, since they’re safer than going to streaming websites. You can check the content of the video by looking at the thumbnail before you click. Dailymotion and Vimeo are video hosting sites like Youtube and are safe for use. Search normally or click on “all” under Google’s search bar to go back to the general search. You can add “full online free” to the end of your search to get more results. Look down the list and try out a website. Project Free TV is one example of a site that has show links. If the videos don’t load properly or the site won’t let you start the video without completing an offer, leave. Some sites, including Primewire.ag, aggregate links. When you click the link, you are taken to a less safe site. Other sites make money by including popups and advertisements. Be careful where you click and enjoy your show. Install a pop-up blocker such as Adblock Plus and a free antivirus such as Avira to reduce the risk to your computer.

One way to find pearls is to eat oysters in restaurants. It is unusual to find a pearl in a restaurant oyster, especially one of high value. The odds are definitely stacked against you with this method, though it can be done. In fact, edible varieties of oysters generally produce a different type of "pearl" than pearl oysters, but true pearls have very occasionally been found by diners.  You don't just have to order oysters on the half shell. Any dish with oysters in it is fair game. You can also try buying oysters to eat at home from a fish market. To shuck an oyster at home, place the slit face up. Insert a table knife in one end of the slit, pushing downward slightly and moving across the opening. Pull the oyster open to look for a pearl. If it doesn't have one, you can still enjoy the oyster. Most pearls found in edible oysters aren't worth much or anything. They are usually misshapen and especially hard. However, be on the lookout for round pearls. If it is colorful, such as purple or orange, it can be worth a lot more.  Pearls can come in all sorts of colors, such as blue, purple, orange, white, pink, green, and black. They can be round, oblong, egg-shaped, or irregularly shaped.  However, most edible oysters will produce something closer to a pebble than a pearl. If you feel something hard when eating oysters, try not to chomp down on it. For one, as noted, most pearls found in edible oysters are especially hard and could crack one of your teeth. In addition, you don't want to swallow it. Pull it out of your mouth immediately. If it looks round, smooth, and lustrous, have it appraised at a jeweler's. Some companies sell pearl oysters that can be shipped directly to your home. These companies generally guarantee that you will have an oyster with a pearl in it.

TL;DR in English:


Talk to your obstetrician about your history of eating disorders. Talk to your obstetrician about any medications you are taking. Let your obstetrician weigh you without seeing the result yourself. Visit a therapist to treat your eating disorder. See a registered dietitian for nutritional support. Ask your obstetrician about what will happen if your disorder does not improve.

It doesn’t need to be freshly washed. As you need it to hold curls and pins, you might even find that it helps if it’s a day or two after being washed. Keep in mind that you’ll want your hair to have volume, so if it’s oily and flat, you may want to either dry it out with a spray shampoo, or, if you do end up washing and drying it, use a volumizing spray. Using a comb, mark out a straight side part and comb your hair so that it falls neatly on either side of the part. This will really depend upon how much hair you have. Maintaining the side part, use a comb and hair clips to section off your hair in a way that facilitates the most curls. The more curls, the better! Starting with the back, bottom sections of your hair, go around your head with a 1- or 1.5-inch curling iron or wand and curl roughly 1- to 2-inch sections of hair, alternating between curling your hair towards and away from your face. ” For the section of hair at the front of the larger side of your part, pull it up and wrap it around the curling wand. If you have shorter bangs, you’ll simply brush them sideways towards the larger side of your parted hair. What you do will depend on the length of your hair/bangs, but ultimately you want to try to incorporate them into the rest of your hair on the larger side part. This will help to break up the curls and make them look a bit more like soft curls/a natural wave. If you find that your hair looks frizzy, add a small amount of shine serum to your hands before running your fingers through your hair. To make a more voluminous-looking bob, tease your hair lightly. This will also help bring it up a bit more if it’s quite long. To tease your hair, gently hold a chunk of your hair above your head (being careful not to ruin the curl) and back-comb it (brush it downwards, from the end towards your scalp) with a teasing brush. You can also tease your hair with a fine-toothed comb, but some stylists say that this is more damaging than using a proper teasing brush. Once all of your hair is curled, spray it with...

TL;DR in English: Start with dry hair. Part your hair dramatically to one side. Separate your hair into several sections. Curl your hair. Curl your “bangs. Run your fingers gently through your hair. Tease your hair. Spray your hair with hairspray. Tuck hair in at nape of neck. Pin curls to your bun. Leave out shorter layers and the fronts of your hair.

If you see a tiger that may have escaped captivity, do not assume it is docile or friendly towards humans.  Tigers that have been captive will be agitated in unfamiliar environments, and are especially likely to attack. Leave your possessions behind as you walk away, as these may momentarily distract a curious tiger.  If you cannot vacate the area entirely, attempt to hide.  Tigers are not as capable of climbing as are some other jungle cats, so climb a tree until you can escape. Once you've hidden, you may attempt to distract the tiger by throwing things away from you to lead them in that direction.  However, use extreme caution in doing so, as you're probably more likely to attract attention to your hiding spot.  As such, it is better to throw stuff off of your path before you hide. Never antagonize a tiger or large animal of any type.  Tigers, in particular, respond to aggression with aggression and will defend themselves by attacking. Do not throw anything at a tiger or attempt to hit it with something.  In the event that you are attacking a tiger in order to distract it from mauling someone else, use whatever you have to strike the tiger as hard as you can. Keep shouting at the tiger, both to intimidate it and to distract it from its victim. While an old or injured tiger may seem feeble or in need of your help, they may actually be especially dangerous.  Even if a tiger is in poor health, it should be treated with extreme caution.  In the wild, you’re actually more likely to see a tiger in poor health, as tigers that are unable to hunt as well as they are when healthy will seek out easily accessible prey, such as livestock. This will bring them into closer proximity to humans than tigers are usually comfortable with. No matter how tempting it may be or how cute they may look, you should never interact with a young tiger. Tiger mothers are ferociously protective of their young and will readily come to their defense if they feel they are threatened in any way. Do not approach or attempt to interact with a...

TL;DR in English: Avoid approaching an escaped tiger. Attempt to distract the tiger and hide. Do not antagonize a tiger in any way. Give old or injured tigers a wide berth. Leave cubs alone.

It’s important for you to figure out whether this is general problem, or one that only you’re having with your boss. If it’s happening to everyone, it’s likely your boss’ management style. If it’s just you, your boss’ micromanagement might be happening because they have a problem with your work. If you’ve recently screwed up (even if it was a mistake that seemed small to you), your boss could simply be watching to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Small and big errors can sometimes cause huge problems for companies. Be patient while you wait to regain your boss’ trust with high-quality work. Even if you’re getting your work done on time, maybe you’re not getting to the office right when it opens. If so, your boss could feel like you’re distracted or don’t care about your job. Refocus your attention on work and see if this shifts your boss’ attitude toward you.  If you’re supposed to work a set number of hours and you’re meeting those hours, don’t go overboard trying to impress your boss. If they want to pay you overtime, that’s one thing. If not, it’s time to have that conversation about backing off a bit. Observe what you wear to work versus what your boss wears. Check out each of your offices. If one of you is super neat and the other tends to be messy, your boss could be judging your appearance and/or work style. You can either accept this or have a conversation about it.  If you’re new to this job, you may want to wait a bit while they get used to you. Once they see how brilliant you are, they might back off naturally. Your manager may have specific feedback for you that could explain why they’ve been observing your work so closely. If you don’t ask for that feedback, you may not get it. Performance reviews are often automatically scheduled once or twice per year. Instead of waiting for that meeting, ask for one in the next week or so. If you’ve just started this job, expect a little extra hand-holding. You may feel like you don’t need it, and this time could be frustrating for you. Still, it’ll take a...

TL;DR in English: See if anyone else is being micromanaged. Ask yourself if you’ve made mistakes recently. Ensure that you’re giving your job your full attention. Check if you and your manager have different work styles. Ask for a performance review to pinpoint the problem. Wait a few months if you’re new.

It’s important to keep your purple flower potato plant watered during the growing season, especially if the weather is dry. However, you should avoid over-watering it as this inhibits flower production.  You can cut right back on watering over the colder months.     Once established, the plant will be drought-tolerant but it’s still advisable to water during dry periods, especially if the soil becomes dry below the surface. The purple flower potato bush prefers even moisture in the soil so keep the layer of mulch topped up and remember to replace it annually. This will help to keep moisture in the ground. In the spring, feed your purple flower potato bush with a high-phosphorous fertilizer and continue to do so every few weeks during the growing season.  If you aren't sure what kind of fertilizer you have, check the ingredients. The amount of phosphorous should be higher than the amount of nitrogen in the mix. Nitrogen encourages leaf growth instead of flower growth.     If you prefer a more organic fertilizer, bone meal is a good high-phosphorous choice.    The purple flower potato bush is vulnerable to pests and diseases. Keep a careful eye out for aphids and use bug spray if they appear. Other issues to be wary of include blights and mildew. As flowers tend to develop on fresh shoots, cutting the plant back after each flush of flowering helps to encourage more flowers to form. To prune your purple flower potato bush, cut stems back by about a third (cutting to just above a leaf node) in the mid-late summer flowering period.

TL;DR in English: Water the plant throughout the growing season. Replace the layer of mulch annually. Feed the plant with a high-phosphorous fertilizer. Keep an eye out for pests and disease. Prune the bush in mid-late summer.

Resist the urge to conceal your condition, even if you feel embarrassed or ashamed. Your obstetrician is one of your best resources during this time.  Sometimes, eating disorders, such as bulimia or anorexia, can develop for the first time when you are pregnant. If you do not have a history of eating disorders but are worried about your weight or eating habits, tell your obstetrician. Typically, during pregnancy you may visit your obstetrician once every 2-4 weeks. If you have a history of eating disorders, however, you may be asked to make more frequent appointments. Ask your obstetrician if it is safe to continue taking your medication. In most cases, your obstetrician will advise you to continue your antidepressants, although you may need to consult with your primary care doctor or psychiatrist to adjust the dose. If you are using laxatives, diuretics, or appetite suppressants to purge or lose weight, tell your doctor immediately. These can be dangerous during pregnancy, and your doctor will help you stop. Your obstetrician will need to weigh you, but you do not have to know your weight. Ask your obstetrician to weigh you without telling or showing you the result. They may simply say if you are gaining weight at a healthy rate or not.  Remember, pregnancy is temporary, and gaining weight is necessary for your baby’s health. Talk to your doctor about your weight gain goals, and do your best to follow their recommendations. If you started your pregnancy at a healthy weight, you will need to gain around 25–35 pounds (11–16 kg) by the time you deliver. If you were underweight, you may need to gain more, and if you were overweight, you may be able to gain less. Avoid weighing yourself at home. This may cause you to obsess over your weight gain. If you are not already receiving counseling for your eating disorder, now is a good time to begin. Your obstetrician or primary care doctor can refer you to a specialist who can guide you through the process of recovery. Women who experience eating disorders tend to have...

Find a brown sport coat. Tape a straw along the straight edge. Tie a string through the small hole on the straight edge. Attach a small weight to the dangling end of the string.

Pair a brown suit coat with other pants. Forego a collared shirt. Play around with multiple layers.

Make sure it has a soft texture to avoid damaging your sink. Wet the cloth with lukewarm tap water. Wring out any excess water. Squirt a drop or two of mild dish washing liquid onto the cloth. Scrub in gentle circular strokes until the buildup begins to disappear. Move with the grain of the sink. Use cool water to dilute to dish detergent completely. If you don't have a sprayer, direct the water with your hands or a cup. Target detergent suds and any remaining soap buildup. Continue to rinse until all debris has been flushed down the drain. Use a fresh towel or cloth with a soft texture. Move in a gentle circular motion with the grain. Continue until the sink is completely dry.

Once you have been voted into the church and no longer need to live with a host family, you may look for a place of your own. Most Amish live in farmhouses surrounded by land that can be used for growing crops and raising animals, as the Amish try to be as self-sufficient as possible.  Unfortunately, available farmland is becoming harder to find, due to urban sprawl, high demand for land from an ever-growing Amish community (even though new people rarely join, the average Amish family has seven children) and prohibitively high costs.  You will also need to keep in mind that your home will need to be close enough to the center of the community that it can be reached by horse and buggy, the major method of transportation. This will limit you to about a 10–15 mile (16–24 km) radius. Pennsylvania Dutch is a dialect of German, which is widely spoken by the Amish community. It is the main language spoken in the home and at Church, although Amish children do learn to speak English in school. Pennsylvania Dutch is primarily a spoken language, with no standardized form of writing or spelling, and must be learned to become fully immersed in the Amish community.  As a newcomer to the Amish community, learning to speak the new language will be difficult, but not impossible. You will pick it up just by listening to others, attending Church services and by making an effort to speak it whenever you get the opportunity. It may also be possible to hire a Pennsylvania Dutch tutor who can help you to improve at a faster pace.  The term "Pennsylvania Dutch" is a misnomer, as the language has no association with the Netherlands. It is, in fact, a dialect of German that was spoken in parts of Switzerland, Tyrol, and the Rhineland. It is believed the term "Dutch" comes from an archaic form of English, which referred to any continental Germanic language. The Amish aim to live a life of simplicity, unfettered by the materialistic trappings of the modern world. However, learning to live without modern comforts can be quite a challenge...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a house and some farmland, if possible. Learn Pennsylvania Dutch. Learn to live without modern comforts. Get a horse and buggy. Learn to dress appropriately. Avoid being photographed. Participate in a barn raising.

This type of protractor is shaped like half a circle, with angles marked all around the rim. You can buy them anywhere that sells school supplies. Ideally, choose a protractor with a small hole near the center of the protractor, along its straight base. If you don't want to buy one, you can search online for a printable protractor. Print it out, cut it very carefully along its outline, and glue the paper protractor to something a little sturdier, such as construction paper or an index card. Tape a straight, plastic drinking straw on or near the straight edge of the protractor. Make sure the straw passes through the two 0º or zero marks on opposite ends of the straight edge. If you don't have a straw, roll a piece of paper into a tight cylinder and use that instead. Many protractors come with a small hole directly between the 0º marks on the protractor, across from the 90º mark on the curved edge of the protractor. If your protractor does not have a small hole here, or if the hole is not situated correctly, tape or glue the string to the protractor where the hole should be. Make sure the string dangles a few inches (several centimeters) below the protractor. If you are using a paper protractor, you can punch the hole yourself with a sharp pen or hole punch. Do not try to punch a hole in a plastic protractor, as it is probably made from weak plastic and could shatter. Tie a paper clip, metal washer, or other small weight to the end of the string. When you hold the clinometer so the string falls past the circular rim of the protractor, the weight will pull the string straight down past an angle mark on the protractor, such as 60º. This tells you what angle the clinometer is being held at, which can be used to find the heights of distant objects as described in the section below.

TL;DR in English: Find a 180º protractor. Tape a straw along the straight edge. Tie a string through the small hole on the straight edge. Attach a small weight to the dangling end of the string.

One of the best features of a brown sport coat is its versatility. They don’t need to be worn with matching pants; many are intended for use in less formal outfits. They can even be worn with a pair of well-cut blue jeans.  Darker denim washes tend to look better with light brown sport coats, while lighter denim matches well with either tan or dark brown options. For the especially bold, consider pairing colorful slacks with a brown suit coat. Coral or salmon shades will go especially well. You don’t always have to wear a button up shirt beneath sport coats. Even a well-fit white or black t-shirt can work well. Grey can work too, especially as a thicker long sleeve. One good “dressed-down” look packs plenty of stylish punch: all black with a brown sport coat. Lightweight sweaters or knit shirts can look great beneath a brown sport coat. Wear them without a collared shirt beneath.  Either crew necks or v-neck options are fine.  A different shade of brown can look particularly good, such as a tan sweater beneath a dark brown sport coat. Shades of green will work well in layers too, particularly those that have undertones similar to those of brown, such as olive or dark green.

TL;DR in English:


Listen to the person's speech. Observe the person's movements. Note unusual or shifting energy. Keep an eye out for unusual actions.

You need to know how much money you’re after. If you need a small amount, you might only seek out one investor. However, if you need a lot of capital, then you’ll need to know that as well. Calculate how much money you need for your small business.  Also consider how much of your equity you are willing to give up in return. Investors don’t give loans. Instead, they take a share of ownership in exchange for money. You’ll need to come up with something reasonable.  For example, if your business is worth $100,000 and you want $25,000, then you’ll need to give up around 25% of the business’ equity. Your investors will want to see your business plan, which you should have already created if you are an existing business. The plan will identify your market, competitors, and include financial projections for five years.  Update the financial information so that it is current. You should also bulk up the executive summary to your plan. Investors often will skip other parts but focus on the summary, so spend extra time on it.  Make the business plan colorful and include graphics so that the information is easy to digest. You need to know whether a potential investor will be interested in your business. Many investors focus on only certain industries, so you’ll save yourself time if you figure out ahead of time their focus.  Look online to check what businesses they have invested in. Look at their LinkedIn profile to see if you know people in common. If so, ask whether the investor might be interested in your business. There’s no one way to reach out to an investor. If someone recommended the investor to you, then mention the recommender’s name in your email or when you call. Alternately, you can send your email to the recommender, and they can then forward it on to the investor.  In the body of your email, clearly communicate what you do. Mention the age of your business. Are you a start-up? Have you been in business for ten years? Identify any other investors you have worked with. For example, an investor might have...

It’s hard to be consistent if you don’t have a strong idea of what you need to do. When starting your new path, create easy, simple goals with specific, measurable results.  Start by defining what consistency means to you. Do you need to be consistent about your exercise habits? Are you aiming for a higher quality of work? Do you want to be more available and reliable in your relationships? Once you’ve identified your end goal, come up with smaller steps to reach it. For example, if you want to become more physically fit, you might set the goal to exercise for 5 days out of the week or to sign up for a class. Be specific. Instead of saying "I'm going to consistently appreciate my significant other," you might say "I'm going to thank my significant other when they wash the dishes, make dinner, or help out around the house." It can be easy to pile on tasks and promises, but a calendar, planner, or schedule will keep you on track. A schedule will help you plan your day so that you get everything done on time. It will also help you understand what commitments you do and do not have time for.  Use a paper planner or a desk calendar. Alternatively, download a scheduling app on your phone, like Google Calendar or Outlook. Block off realistic amounts of time for each task. If you’re uncertain how long a task will take, give yourself extra time to complete it. For larger goals, like writing a book or losing weight, set small, daily tasks that you can do to work towards this goal. For example, you might set a daily word count to achieve or plan specific meals to eat each day. Don’t forget to plan in breaks as well! Don’t schedule anything else for that day or time. Sometimes, it is easy to forget our new goals, habits, commitments, or promises, especially when we make them to ourselves. To remind yourself throughout the day, put messages to yourself in visible areas.  Write down your goals on post-it notes and place them on your mirror, computer, refrigerator, car dashboard, and planner. Slip a piece of paper with your...

TL;DR in English: Create specific and realistic goals. Create a schedule for yourself. Place reminders around your home, workspace, and belongings. Make promises only if you can keep them. Reward yourself when you get something done.

Since television stations are giving you free airtime, do not automatically expect to get a slot at your first choice. Television spots are competitive so it helps if you know someone at the station who can vouch for you.  Some television stations have PSA directors who are responsible for placing PSA films. Check to see if your choice station has a person like that. Consider the audience of the station. Is it the same audience you are trying to reach with your PSA? Do not just send the file of your PSA film to stations. Reach out to them by phone and introduce yourself first. Tell them what your goals with the film are and ask who you should be speaking with.  If they show initial interest, ask to meet with someone in person.  They might ask you to send a copy of your PSA film. Make sure you know what file format they want the film in. Meet with someone at the station (or talk with them over the phone) and give them a one or two minute pitch about your PSA film's goals and call-to-action. Tell them why your PSA is relevant to their station's audience. For example, if your PSA is healthcare related, reach out to a local healthcare agency before they host or sponsor a community event and ask if your organization can attend. Show your PSA film at the event. In return, you can mention their name somewhere in your booth or on the film. When your PSA film airs, send thank-you letters to everyone involved. Send them to key staff at the station aired your film, as well as anyone who aided in getting your PSA out to the public.

Someone who is high may speak too much or too quickly, or may have problems speaking. Someone who slurs words but does not smell like alcohol might be high. If the person you are speaking with appears to have difficulty concentrating or following the conversation, or if her thinking is unusually paranoid, deluded, or panicked, she might be high. A high person might react slowly, or might be nonreactive to surrounding people and things. If someone appears not to experience pain, he might be high. Physical coordination that seems to be rapidly deteriorating is a sign of drug use.  Someone moving as if he is drunk, but without the smell of alcohol, is possibly high. A drunk person who seems to be unusually impaired might also have taken drugs or have been drugged. Depending on the drug, a high person might be euphoric, relaxed, anxious and agitated, exhilarated, overconfident, or aggressive. Look for an unusual intensity of mood, or a quickly changing mood. If you know someone well, and she is behaving in an uncharacteristic way, that could be a sign of drug use. Sleeplessness and restlessness can be signs that someone is high, as can drowsiness. If you cannot rouse a "sleepy" person, she might have passed out and need medical attention. If you know someone well, you can tell if he is exhibiting unusually high sociability, lack of inhibition, poor judgment, or an increased or decreased appetite or sex drive. Inappropriate laughter and intense snacking are common signs of marijuana use.  Someone high on a harder drug might hallucinate, seeing or sensing things that are not there. Delirious, psychotic, or violent behavior all might be caused by drug use. Some drugged people appear to have undergone a total personality change.

TL;DR in English:


The main reason to post while riding is to avoid being jostled around in the saddle during a particularly bumpy gait - the trot. This makes things more comfortable for the rider and is easier on the horse's back.  Once you become more experienced with the rising trot, it is also possible to change the horse's rhythm simply by posting more quickly or slowly. The horse will alter his rhythm to match with your own, thus sometimes eliminating the need for hand and leg signals. Urge your horse into a steady forward trot. Now, pay attention to the horse's strides - notice how the trot has two beats? Good. This will help you to understand how posting works.  During a trot, the horse's left hind leg and right front leg (which are diagonal to one another) move simultaneously, and vice versa. This is what riders are talking about when they refer to "diagonals" - the simultaneous movement of diagonal front and back legs. These diagonals will greatly influence your rising trot. When performed correctly, the rider will rise from his/her seat when the inside hind leg and outside front leg are moving forward and sit when the outside hind leg and inside front leg are moving forward. The reason for this is because the horse's inside hind leg is the one which propels him forward. Rising out of your seat while this leg is in motion will encourage the horse to stretch the leg further under his body, and therefore producing a more effective stride. At first, it can be difficult to tell which diagonal your horse is on. A good trick is to watch your horse's outside shoulder. You should rise out of your seat as his shoulder moves forward and sit back down as it moves back. If the movement is difficult to pinpoint, stick a bandage or piece of colored tape on the horse's shoulder. This makes the movement easier to see. Once you start posting your legs will likely be sore, but you'll gain more thigh muscles over time.

TL;DR in English: Understand why posting is done. Understand diagonals. Realize that posting should be done using your thigh muscles, not your legs.

Both acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) will help bring down your fever. Even bringing your fever down a degree or two will help make you feel a bit better. These medications are also pain relievers, which can help with pain related to sore throat and muscle ache from the cold or flu. Always use acetaminophen or ibuprofen in children. Aspirin can lead to a life-threatening condition called Reye’s syndrome. If your cold or flu includes congestion, then you can also take an OTC decongestant to help. Many OTC fever reducers have cold and flu variants that include additional medicine for cough and congestion. Take as directed and do not combine medicines or take any medicine longer than directed. If you prefer to stay away from a medication, you can also try saline drops and sprays, which are also a better option for young children since they’re just salt water. Always use as directed. An easy, safe way to help soothe a sore throat from a cold or flu is to gargle with warm salt water. Dissolve half a teaspoon in 8 ounces of warm water, hold a small amount of the solution at the back of your throat and gargle for thirty seconds. This is safe to repeat as needed. Never swallow the solution since drinking salt water isn’t safe. If using this method with a child, make sure he or she can gargle without choking as well. Drinking plenty of water helps for several reasons. Plenty of liquids will help thin the congestion-causing mucus, moisten and soothe your sore throat, and prevent dehydration if your flu symptoms include vomiting.  If you have a “stomach flu” that includes vomiting and diarrhea, stick to water and sports drinks (such as Gatorade) to help replace lost electrolytes. For young children, use specific fluid and electrolyte replacement options (such as Pedialyte) instead of sports drinks.  For a cold, you can also drink juice and clear broth in addition to the above options.  Men should aim for 13 cups of water each day, whereas women should aim to drink nine. You should avoid both...

TL;DR in English: Take an over-the-counter (OTC) medication. Take a decongestant. Gargle with warm salt water. Hydrate. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Get additional rest. Take a hot shower. Use a vaporizer or humidifier. Take OTC throat sprays or cough drops. Avoid smoking and other throat irritants.

It will take some effort on your part to build an active social life. Instead of waiting for opportunities to come your way, try being proactive and creating those opportunities for yourself. Being proactive means creating your own experiences.  Actively try to meet people. Put a smile on your face and get in the habit of striking up conversations with new people. Vary your routine. Try going to new places. The more places you go, the more likely you are to meet someone new. This is a great way to expand your social circle. As your confidence grows, you will find yourself more willing and able to try new things and meet new people. There are many ways to build your confidence. Try picturing yourself succeeding. For example, think about a time that you tried something new and enjoyed it. Try to channel that experience, and picture it when you are going on a new adventure. Avoid negative thoughts. Build yourself up by complimenting yourself. Focus on your strengths. If you project a confident air, others might naturally gravitate towards you. Being confident can help you meet new people and attract new friends. Not only is having a social life fun, but it turns out that it is also good for your health. Being active socially is also great for your mental health. Socializing helps keep your mind sharp. Socialization is also good for your physical health. Research tells us that seniors who regularly socialize have lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease.

TL;DR in English: Be proactive. Gain confidence. Appreciate the benefits of being social.

Keep your alpha man interested by having your own interests and goals outside of him. You’ll both have more to talk about at the end of the day if you’re busy pursuing your own career or hobbies. If anyone tries to keep you from pursuing your own interests, remove yourself from the situation and find someone who will appreciate your independence. Most alpha males need time every so often to hang out with their friends or to pursue their hobbies. Show him that you appreciate who he is by encouraging him to do these things.  If he loves to fish, ask him if he'd like to take the weekend to go on a fishing trip while you visit your family. If you know his friends have a poker night on Thursdays, consider taking a class on Thursday nights. That way, he can still enjoy his time with his friends, and you won't be sitting at home waiting for him. An alpha male can run the risk of feeling like he’s alone at the top of the pack. Let him know it’s you and him against the world by offering a supportive shoulder whenever he’s feeling stressed.  If you know he’s had a long day, call and order his favorite take-out and make some time for just the two of you. Try saying something like, “I know you had a big meeting today. How did it go?” A lot of alpha males are used to strutting through life without ever being challenged. If you feel like he’s wrong, let him know. He might be surprised at first but he’ll respect you more in the long run.  Try not to challenge him in front of other people. No one likes to feel embarrassed, especially alpha males. Wait until the two of you are alone to talk about something you didn’t like. You might say something like, “I know you were annoyed that the food took a long time to come out, but I didn’t like that you were rude to our waiter.” When you're ready to take your relationship to the next level, don't assume that he will automatically know. Specifically tell him that you like him and you're interested in being exclusive with each other.  If he agrees to a committed relationship, set...

When it comes to compatibility, the most important thing is that you feel united in some way. It might be that you spend your free time in similar ways, share a hobby, or just enjoy being together. When you think about your partner, consider what items you want to connect on. Whether you both love camping or both already have children, make sure there’s at least one thing you can bond over with your potential spouse. Perhaps similar beliefs unite you or you both value family. Everyone has a different way of approaching problems in a relationship. Some people get angry and yell, others avoid, and still others handle conflict as it arises and compromise. It matters little which style you and your partner have, but more whether both of your styles are similar.  Think about how you tend to approach conflict and find a man who has a similar or complementary approach. Even if his style is different than yours, you both should work well together to resolve conflict. Resolving conflicts can help you understand each other better and not hold resentment toward each other. If religion matters greatly to you, find a partner who shares your beliefs. Marrying someone with different beliefs from you can affect your relationship and cause problems in the future, so think about how this might affect your potential marriage and family. If it’s imperative to you and your family that your husband share your same religion, you must either ask him to convert or break up. Talk openly about how religious differences will affect your relationship and potential children. Find common ground in your beliefs or values. Learn to accept their religion and learn about it. Consider how you approach money and find a man with a similar approach. If you tend to meticulously budget and save your money, find a man with similar values. Money can be a big problem and major source of conflict in a marriage, so pick up on a potential partner’s habits early on. Consider your values around keeping separate bank accounts or using a joint bank account....

TL;DR in English: Examine your compatibility. Have similar conflict styles. Discuss religious differences. Talk about finances. Build family relationships.

Gather assorted cards, paper, envelopes, stamps and pens. Place them in a decorative box so that the person can access them easily the next time they want to write to friends or family. Keep in mind the person's favorite colors and their decorating preferences. Flowers can brighten up a home for weeks or years. Include their favorite candy and tea. Add reading material, like a magazine or a book.  Other ideas for a gift basket include large print word search, cross word or sudoku puzzle books, gift certificates, homemade fleece blankets and lotions.     Weave ribbon in and out of the basket to decorate it. You can also wrap your gifts in a homemade fleece blanket, so they won't have to dispose of a basket.    If you have a family who will be giving the gift with you, include a gift certificate/coupon for each member of the family. You can also include coupons for outings. Personal coupon ideas include housework, gardening, grooming, movies, a walk, reading a book aloud, writing down memories or anything you have been meaning to do with them but have not yet scheduled. Kids can give gift certificates for hugs or homemade paintings.

. There are a variety of positions from which it is possible to make an accurate shot, and a good hunter needs to be comfortable in all of them. Practice getting into position in a safe place with an unloaded gun, well before you go out hunting.  Prone position is the most stable, but it is the most difficult and impractical position to get into in the field, while standing is the simplest, fastest, and unfortunately most unstable. Crouching or sitting positions are the most comfortable and stable positions for shooting deer accurately, if done properly. You can crouch quickly, supporting your elbow with your knee or thigh, making your aim more true and stable. In the sitting position, you'll sit cross-legged, perpendicular to your target, with the knee of your non-shooting hand pointing toward the target. Hunting deer is usually an all-day activity, not something to do when you're rushed or impatient. Find a good spot to sit in wait when you go out hunting, and give it some time. Deer are more likely to come around an area that's been silent and still for quite a while, so be extremely quiet as you do so.  Some hunters like to give a spot a couple hours then move around some, while others like to roam more or less constantly. It's your choice how you want to hunt, but most successful hunters do some combination of setting up to wait and trying out different areas. The waiting is part of the thrill and the drama of the hunt. If it wasn't challenging, nobody would bother. If you've spotted a deer, don't start pulling the trigger just yet. Use binoculars to look for signs of deer coming into the area and wait until one orients itself to your position in a way that offers you a clean shot. This is the most critical moment of the hunt, and the last thing you want to rush.  Depending on the laws in your area and the type of permit you've acquired, take a minute to verify that the deer you're seeing is legal. Often, only bucks displaying a certain amount of antler growth (usually six points) are legal to harvest,...

TL;DR in English: Practice your shooting positions beforehand Be patient. Wait until the deer is broadside. Take aim. Remember the BRASS rule of shooting. Never fire at anything you can't see.

If you're not wearing your iPod, you can't use it.

Look for two buttons on the side of the case. Press the button that is located further from the Home button.

If your mother-in-law has always been critical, demanding, or argumentative, you may need to simply work out a strategy to minimize the behavior and cope with it. If this is a new behavior and it is directed only at you, there is likely an underlying problem that must be addressed. Talk to your spouse to get a better understanding of your mother-in-law. If you’re nervous about broaching the subject, say something like, “I’d like to talk about the way your mother has been acting, but I don’t want to fight. I just want to discuss the issue to see if we can find a solution.” Presenting a united front with your spouse will send the message to your mother-in-law that her behavior is unacceptable. If your spouse confronts the problem first, it will signal that you both acknowledge the issue. Ask your partner to talk to her privately to see if they can uncover the root of the problem. If your spouse is uncomfortable getting in the middle of things, ask them to at least stand up for you when she crosses a line.  Ask your spouse to report back to you after they have a private conversation with their mother. They may have some important information about what the root of the problem is. Tell your spouse, “I really think that you’ll have an easier time talking to her than I will. If you talk to her first and figure out why she’s not acting fairly, it will make it easier for me to sit down with her.” Don’t get ahead of yourself and start talking or arguing with your mother-in-law without consulting your spouse first. If you cross a line or engage in an argument without agreeing on a coping strategy, you may end up offending your spouse. Decide on whether you want to confront, deflect, or avoid the problem together to give yourself the highest chance of succeeding. Even if you want to deal with the problem by talking to your mother-in-law privately, you should still consult your partner first. They may have some tips or advice on how to speak with her, and you should give them a head’s up in case your mother-in-law goes...

TL;DR in English: Talk to your spouse to see if this has always been a problem. Ask your spouse to back you up or talk to her if she’s only focusing on you. Develop a strategy together to solve the problem.

Nothing will make your soap disintegrate faster than keeping it constantly wet. Water breaks down the consistency of the soap and makes it necessary to replace your soap much more frequently. Avoid storing your soap in a place that is constantly in contact with water, like in the direct stream of the shower. Allowing the air to dry out its moisture will make a bar of soap harder (and therefore less likely to crumble), so that it lasts longer. The more time your soap spends completely dry, the longer it will last. Because of this, the more people who use a bar of soap, the faster it will need to be replaced. More users means less time between showers and more time that the soap will spend wet. A wire rack or a self-draining soap dish is best. Soap dishes without drainage keep the moisture longer and will make it harder for your soap to dry out in between uses. Although some of the more fancy plastic and stainless steel soap dish designs are funky and cute, unless they have drainage, they are liable to make your soap soggy. Once your soap bar breaks down into smaller pieces that are difficult to use, put those smaller pieces inside a soap-saving pouch. This small bag will work to contain the pieces for reuse, but it also acts as a type of exfoliating washcloth that you can use to bath yourself with the soap remnants inside.

TL;DR in English: Keep the soap away from water. Let the soap air dry. Always keep your soap in an appropriate soap dish that allows for drainage. Store smaller pieces in a soap-saving pouch.

If your cat is severely blocked, home remedies may not cut it. In fact, blockages can lead to death if left unchecked since your cat won't be able to digest food. Plus, the problem may not be a hairball, and you'll need your vet to diagnose it. The veterinarian will begin by using their hands to exam the cat. They may feel the cat's stomach, for instance, to see if it's hard. They'll also inspect the cat visually. During this time, the vet will likely be asking you questions about the cat's medical history and its recent symptoms. Your vet will likely want to do blood work. They may also perform X-rays or an ultrasound on your cat. These tests can help your vet determine if and where your cat has a blockage, so they can decide on the best course of treatment. If your cat does have a blockage, the vet will likely keep it at the clinic. They'll give your cat a laxative to see if it relieves the blockage, while monitoring the cat's digestive progress closely. If the blockage isn't serious enough for the cat to stay, your vet will make recommendations for home remedies, such as mineral oil. If your cat has a blockage from a hairball, it may need surgery to remove it. Your vet will let you know if your cat's situation is serious enough to warrant surgery.

TL;DR in English: Take your cat to the vet if it's exhibiting multiple symptoms. Expect a physical examination. Be ready for diagnostic tests. Be prepared for the cat to stay at the vet for a few days. Discuss the possibility of surgery.

If you’re stepping out of the office when you aren’t supposed to, leave a heavy and colorful piece of clothing on the back of your chair. This will give people that pop by your desk the impression that you haven’t left the building even if you have. If you hear or see someone approaching you, and have time to pull out your phone, pretend to have a work-related conversation on the phone. This is a simple way to avoid colleagues and supervisors, since they won’t want to interrupt you while you’re talking—especially if you make it clear that it’s work-related. Walk out of the area or building while talking on the phone. Your coworkers will think that you just want to focus on the call, and you’ll buy yourself some extra free time outside of your workspace. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you can choose to simply sneak out of the office and go home for the day. You can always invent an emergency or explain that you were going to work from home if you get caught. It may result in an uncomfortable conversation with your boss, but if nobody notices it means that you get the day off!

TL;DR in English: Leave a coat on the back of your chair if you want to leave the building. Hold the phone up to your ear and fake a conversation to avoid coworkers. Play hooky and leave work early if you can risk it.

Let your passengers know if you are suddenly overcome with nausea. Passengers can help either by giving you something to vomit into or, in dire need, by grabbing control of the wheel. Someone can also cup their hands as an impromptu vomit bag. Gross, yes, but perhaps better than a lingering stench in the car of vomiting on your clothes. The important thing is that they know what is happening and do not panic. The most important thing is controlling the car and the ensuring the safety of you, your passengers, and other motorists and pedestrians. Your clothes are the least of your worries. If you are driving at a slower speed, between 10 and 30 mph, try to pull over. If that proves to be impossible and there are no or only a few cars behind you, slow to a stop, turn on your hazard lights, and vomit.  Don’t worry about the reaction of other motorists in this situation. At slow speeds, there is little danger in stopping in the road. Open the door and vomit if possible. If you can, pull over onto the side of the road. At the first sign of nausea, brace your body for another couple seconds and attempt a safe, slow maneuver onto the road shoulder. Do not stop in the middle of the road. Drive defensively, use your indicator, and do not assume other cars will slow down for you. Do not pull into the center divide on a freeway or highway. Center divides are closer to the fastest moving cars and offer less space than the shoulder. As said, as slower speeds you should be able to stop, open your door, and vomit onto the pavement. However, this maneuver is very dangerous on faster roads and expressways. Even pulled onto the shoulder, you should avoid getting out of your car. Exercise caution. It is better to hurl on your floor mats than to be seriously injured by another car. At high speeds, and if stopping is impossible take your foot off the accelerator while preparing to vomit and hover your foot over the brake in case you need to slow the car down quickly. If unable to pull over, your primary aim should be to maintain...

TL;DR in English: Alert your passengers. Try to pull over carefully. At higher speeds, use extreme caution. Vomit outside only under safe conditions. Vomit straight ahead.

You'll need at least the following to make your drug store ready to open. This is only a suggested list, and you'll likely find that you need other items to get your store ready.  Computers and all the necessary software. Cash registers. Phones and phone lines. Good-quality chairs for waiting areas. Make sure these chairs have arm rests so elderly or disabled patients can get up easily. Inventory for the front of the store, like paper towels, OTC drugs and products, food, cleaning supplies, and anything else you'd like to sell. Vials and pill bottles for the pharmacy. The store's layout is important for making customers want to shop with you. A cluttered store with a poor layout will drive away customers, which will hurt or even sink your business. Keep the following guidelines in mind when designing your floor plan.  Have a cash register by the front door so customers can check out and then leave conveniently. Keep all pharmacy-related activities behind a counter in the back of the store. This will ensure that pharmacy staff can work efficiently, and is also important for safety. Make aisles wide enough for wheelchairs and people with disabilities to easily travel down. Designate an area for counseling. Your drug store should have a private area where pharmacists and techs can counsel patients on their medications. In some locations, this is even a law. Ideally this should be back by the pharmacy, so your pharmacist doesn't have to travel far from his post to counsel a patient. Organize aisles by product and hang signs above aisles indicating which products are there. This will help customers find what they need quickly and ensure they leave happy. All businesses need security in place to keep employees safe and protect your financial investment. You should look into surveillance cameras, alarms, grates for windows, and a safe to help thwart robberies. These certifications vary depending on the location of your pharmacy, so you'll have to consult local laws to ensure that you are meeting all necessary...

TL;DR in English: Acquire all the necessary equipment for your business. Set up your store effectively. Set up a security system. Get all the licenses, permits, and certifications necessary for opening. Open your pharmacy before your "grand opening.

Measure out 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of clear school glue and pour it into a bowl. Add 1⁄4 cup (59 mL) of water, then stir it in with a spoon. Keep stirring until the water is completely mixed in and the texture is consistent. After about a week, the consistency of the slime may start to change, but it could last longer than that. Make sure that your hands are clean when you play with the slime, or it'll get dirty!

Open up to your parents about who you are.  Find a time that is less stressful for them and you.  Consider finding a way to make it a private conversation away from your other family members.  Having a one-on-one conversation that is deeper and more meaningful may help you to trust them and to feel loved by them. Consider timing.  Identify times in the evenings or on the weekends when you and your parents may have more time to really talk about what's on your mind. Avoid giving up on them if a calm and loving conversation doesn't go as smoothly as you had hoped the first time. Be assertive about who you are.  Be confident about what matters most to you in life.  Express what you love. Express what bothers you.  Avoid dismissing your feelings or repressing them because your parents may have a different view.  When you're feeling down or struggling with something, be willing to ask for help.  Ask them to provide reassurance. You may need to state it outright, rather than assuming they'll "know" what to do. For example, let's say you're having a difficult time with your friend, you could state to your parents that you're going through a difficult time, and then say, "I could use some reassurance and support right now."  While it may feel awkward at first, it will make clear what your needs are. When you feel yourself getting upset with your parents, avoid trying to confront them in anger.  You cannot force someone to love you for who you are through your anger.  If you are having difficulty talking to your parents without getting upset, then consider doing the following:  Find a place that makes you feel calm.  Try to remove your negative thinking about yourself and others in this space. Take a deep breath.  Use breathing exercises. Consider meditation or praying. Focus your mind on letting go of hate, anger, and resentment.  Focus instead on loving you. Write out your feelings in a journal. Consider using art such as drawing or painting as a way to release your frustrations. Communicate with your parents when...

One of the most fundamental tools you have to fight the loss of global biodiversity is your wallet. Make an effort to buy only products and services that were made with an eye for the environmental health of the planet. Avoid buying from companies with practices that threaten global biodiversity. Remember, companies will sell what people want to buy, so tell companies that you want products that do not harm biodiversity. Research environmentally friendly brands before you make major purchases. For starters, this Fortune report lists a good selection of responsible companies. " There's no way around it: Since early in our history, humans have always created a lot of garbage. Today, however, the massive amounts of waste being produced on a global scale pose a major threat to biodiversity. By following the "Three Rs," you can minimize the impact of your waste. The "Three Rs" are:   Reduce: Decrease your consumption. Don't buy products you don't need. When you do buy things, try to make choices that generate a minimal amount of garbage. For instance, buy things with limited packaging (or none at all) rather than things that come in many boxes or containers. The less garbage you generate, the less you'll contribute to the loss of biodiversity when natural habitats are used for landfills.  Reuse: Decrease the amount of goods you throw away by using  things more than once. One easy example is bringing a backpack or a reusable bag to the grocery store so that you don't use new bags. See our Home Organization articles for more great ideas. Again, less garbage means less loss of biodiversity from expanding landfills.  Recycle: When you do have to throw something away, recycle it so it can be converted to something useful again rather than being added to a landfill. Click here for a good guide to recycling in the U.S. There are numerous other ways to encourage global biodiversity. Best of all, many of these are things you can do in and around the home! For instance, reducing your reliance on commercial crops decreases...

TL;DR in English: Be an informed consumer. Follow the "Three Rs. Practice eco-friendly food strategies at home. Reduce your carbon emissions.

Gold is important in the game especially when you need to buy food to regenerate your health or buy raw materials from the shop. To easily get money, buy milk from the inn and then cook it into hot milk. You can sell it back to them for an easy profit.  You can do this repeatedly. It is most ideal to buy hundreds of milk when it's on sale. If you're still low in gold, another method to earn quick money is to buy yard balls from the general store and then craft them into hand-knit scarves. Sell it back for even more profit.  Repeat this until you're happy with the amount of money you have. Crafting handknit scarves can help you level your crafting skills! If you have a higher level of cooking and crafting skill, you can make items that can be sold for a higher price.  Before crafting high-priced items, make sure that the materials can be bought from shops at low prices. Add the price of each materials needed and then compare it to your income off the item you're going to sell. If you're earning 1 to 100, don't bother; it will be a waste of stamina and time.

TL;DR in English: Cook and sell. Craft and sell. Sell higher-level food or materials.

Using the physical or virtual card that you just registered or created, spend money on food, drinks, or other products at participating Starbucks locations. You will earn two “Stars,” or virtual reward units, for each U.S. dollar that you spend using your card.  You must use the exact card that you registered to earn stars. If you are using another card, it must be registered to the same rewards account as your original card. You can't earn Stars while loading new money on your card, or while purchasing alcoholic beverages. Products sold in other countries will earn Stars as if their value were expressed in US dollars. For instance, if you spend 1 Pound at a Starbucks location in the United Kingdom, you will earn two stars (the same amount you would have earned if you had spent 1 dollar). If you bought whole or ground beans, bottled drinks, or other Starbucks products from another retailer, you can use Star codes found on or inside the packaging to earn Stars. Go to http://www.starbucks.com/rewards to enter them online and redeem your Stars.  You can only enter 2 Star codes online per day to earn Stars. The amount of Stars that you earn by entering Star codes from purchased products will vary depending on what you bought and how much you paid for it. Star codes expire about a year after the product's “Best by” date. Be aware of this if you're trying to enter a code from a product that you purchased a while ago. Instead of entering Star codes from Starbucks products that you bought at other stores, you can upload a photo of your receipt at http://www.starbucks-stars.com to earn Stars.  You can submit your receipt up to 60 days after your purchase and still earn rewards. Make sure the entirety of the receipt is visible and legible in the picture that you upload. If not, your submission may not be approved, and you may not earn any Stars. By using any of these methods, accumulate at least 300 stars within 12 months of the day you enrolled in the Starbucks rewards program. If you reach this number, you will be...

TL;DR in English: Use your registered card to purchase products at Starbucks stores. Enter Star codes from products purchased at other locations. Upload receipts from Starbucks products purchased at other locations. Earn at least 300 Stars within a year to receive your Gold card.

Put your hair up in a ponytail or a bun to show off your dyed hair and keep the dye from getting on your clothes. You can also put your hair in braids to show off the dyed strands. The chalk in your hair will start to rub off and flake colored dust over time. Prevent your clothing from getting dyed by the chalk by wearing clothing that matches the colors in your hair, especially tops.  You may also wear tops that you don’t mind getting color on. Chalk dye should come off in the wash on most materials. The chalk may dye your pillow as you sleep, so use a towel on your pillow to protect it. You may also sleep with sheets that you do not mind getting chalk on. Chalk color should come out of sheets and pillowcases in the wash. If you have blonde hair or light-colored hair, it may last longer. As you wash your hair, the chalk color should fade.  If you want to remove the chalk dye before 2-4 washes, you can try brushing your dry hair and then scrubbing out the dye in the shower with shampoo and water. When you wash your dyed hair, use clarifying shampoo so your hair stays clean and healthy. Chalk dyeing your hair can be very drying, as the chalk will suck moisture out of your hair. Make sure you use a good hair conditioner on your chalk dyed hair to replenish moisture. Chalk-dyeing your hair should not be done too often, as it can be very drying for your hair. Try spreading out when you chalk dye so you only do it a few times a year your hair. This will ensure your hair does not become damaged due to the chalk.

TL;DR in English: Style your dyed hair in an up-do or braids. Wear clothing close to the colors in your hair. Protect your pillow by sleeping on a towel. Maintain chalk dyed hair for 2-4 washes. Condition your hair to keep it soft and healthy. Do not chalk dye your hair regularly.

Line up a knife with the pod and press down to cut it open, then repeat with the remaining pods. If you don't wish to cut the pods in half, you can leave them intact or simply cut off the tips. Whether you chose to infuse brandy, bourbon, tequila, or another type of alcohol with vanilla, just place the beans directly into the container and close the lid. Shake well. Since strong-flavored spirits take longer to pick up the more subtle vanilla flavor, the bottles need to be shaken so that the vanilla gets distributed. For a week after putting the vanilla beans in the container, shake it several times a day. In the second week, shake it once a way. Vanilla extract made with spirits aside from vodka takes longer to infuse. Store it in a cool, dry place for at least three months. Open the bottle and sniff it, then take a taste. If the extract has a strong vanilla flavor, it's ready to use. If you can only taste the alcohol, replace the cap and let the extract infuse for another few weeks before using.

TL;DR in English:


Give up tobacco products if you smoke. Follow your doctor’s guidelines for food and fluid intake. Wear sunscreen outdoors after your wound has healed all the way.

Take a few moments to give your wheels a preliminary rinse and clear away any excess brake dust or dried dirt. Make sure the water makes contact with every part of the wheel, including the interior surface around the barrel.  Fitting your hose with a pressure attachment or adjustable nozzle will make it easier to blast off bits of stuck-on debris. If you don’t have a pressure attachment, place your thumb over the opening of the hose to create a more concentrated stream and increase your spraying power. Apply a generous amount of cleaner to the wheel’s center hub, as well as outlying components like the spokes. Mist on additional solution as needed around areas where buildup is the heaviest.  Keep your distance after applying oven cleaner to minimize your exposure to harsh fumes. If your wheels feature plastic hub covers, don’t forget to remove them prior to spraying on the cleaner. As it sits, it will begin penetrating the caked-on dirt. To make the most efficient use of your time, spray all of your wheels at once, then scrub and rinse them one by one. That way, the cleaner will have had plenty of time to work by the time you get to the next wheel in line. Work the brush in small circles over the surface of the wheel. The movement of the bristles will lift the remaining dirt right off with little effort. Focus on recessed areas like the spokes and rim screws where the most dirt tends to accumulate.  You can pick up a detailing brush for just a few dollars at your local automotive supply store, or in the car-care aisle of a supercenter. Clean your brush in a bucket of warm water every couple of minutes, or whenever you notice it getting dirty. Use your hose to flush any remaining cleaner or dissolved dirt from around the wheel. Any traces of cleaner that are left behind could dry into an unsightly residue or even cause corrosion.  If your hose has an adjustable nozzle, set it to the wide fan or spray setting to get better coverage. To make sure the wheel is completely clean, continue spraying until the water...

TL;DR in English: Wet the entire wheel with a hose to remove loose dirt. Spray the entire wheel with your cleaning product of choice. Allow the cleaner to sit for at least 1-2 minutes. Scrub the wheel with a soft-bristled detailing brush. Rinse the wheel thoroughly. Wipe the wheel dry using a microfiber cloth.

Make sure you have an accurate record of the diameter and the height of the pool. You will need this to determine the dimensions for the deck. Plan plenty of width between the edges of the pool and the perimeter of the deck so that swimmers can walk comfortably. Take your rough plan to your local building department or ask a building inspector to come to your home.  The inspector will give you advice on regulations for stairs, handrails, guards and other elements that may be subject to municipal codes. Draw up your final plans based on the inspector's recommendations and requirements, and get all necessary permits before you begin building—especially electrical permits, if that will be part of your new deck. Pressure-treated wood is generally fine but you may also prefer a composite material. Pull a string line from the corners to establish the outside perimeter of the deck. For our example, we'll assume a 21-foot pool.  Mark the location of an interior post about 1' (30 cm) from the edge of the pool. Locate the next post 4 feet (1.2 m) away from that point. The perimeter edge of your deck shouldn't be more than 4 feet (1.2 m) away from a post. To find out how many interior posts you will need, add the distance from pool to post, multiply that by 2 and add it to the diameter of the pool, then multiply the total by pi (3.14159). That will give you the circumference. Now divide that number by 4 to get the number of posts you will need. In this case, the post is 1 foot (0.3 m) from the pool, and the pool is 21 feet (6.4 m) in diameter: (1x2 + 21) * π ÷ 4 = (23 * π) ÷ 4 = 18.06. You will need 18 posts for the inner ring.

TL;DR in English: Measure your pool. Decide on the dimensions of your deck. Obtain any necessary permits. Choose what type of decking you want to use. Lay out the deck around the pool using stakes driven into the ground.

ion and garlic. Peel an onion and use a sharp knife to mince it. You'll need 3/4 cup (115 g) of minced onion. Peel 4 large cloves of garlic and carefully mince them. Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) of vegetable oil into a large saucepan and turn the heat to medium-low. Once the oil is shimmering, stir in the minced garlic and onion. You'll also need to stir in 1/4 cup (60 g) of Thai red curry paste and 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of salt. Saute the mixture for six to eight minutes and stir it occasionally to prevent it from sticking. The onion should soften and become clear. Shake a few cans of unsweetened coconut milk and open them. Stir the coconut milk well and pour in 2 1/4 cups (532 ml) of the milk into the onion mixture. Stir every once in a while as some of the liquid in the pan evaporates. This should take 20 to 30 minutes. Keep the lid off of the pan so the liquid can evaporate and the sauce can thicken a little. Turn off the heat and stir in 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of lime juice, 1 1/2 tablespoons (22 ml) of Asian fish sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons (6 g) of sugar, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 to 1 g) of cayenne, and 1/2 cup (25 g) of chopped cilantro sprigs (optional). Taste the sauce and add extra salt according to your taste. To create a quick stir fry or curry, saute vegetables and your choice of protein in a large pan. For example, saute carrots, potatoes, and sliced beef. Pour the sauce into the pan and serve the dish with rice or flatbread.  One batch of Spicy Thai coconut curry sauce will make about 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) of sauce. You could use it to make a small serving of curry or double it to make a large serving. Store leftover curry sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

TL;DR in English: and garlic. Saute the onion with the aromatics for six to eight minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and reduce the mixture for 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Use the Thai coconut curry sauce.

Smoking may delay the healing process, so it is a good idea to quit smoking while you are recovering from thyroid surgery. Ask your doctor about smoking cessation programs in your area as well as other resources that may help you to quit smoking. Good nutrition and adequate hydration are important ways to support your body’s healing process. You may need to follow a special liquid or soft foods diet after your surgery and then stick to your doctor’s recommendations thereafter.  A liquid diet includes juices, broth, water, decaffeinated tea, and ice. A soft foods diet includes items such as pudding, jello, mashed potatoes, applesauce, room temperature soups or broths, and yogurt. You should be able to move to solid foods as tolerated after a few days. As you recover from surgery, you will have some pain when you swallow, so it is a good idea to take pain medications about 30 minutes prior to your meals. Use a high SPF sunscreen, such as SPF 30, or keep your scar covered a scarf for an entire year. Using these measures to protect your scar from the sun will provide the best cosmetic outcome for your neck wound. Make sure that your wound is fully healed before applying sunscreen on it. This should take about two to three weeks.

TL;DR in English:


Decide when to go. Choose which day to arrive. Choose your airline and book your flight. Select and book your lodging well in advance, too. Know what to expect from a Parisian hotel or apartment.

Using soaps or perfumes can seriously aggravate or irritate your pubic area. Your pubic region has a specific pH level and certain soaps can throw this off.  Use specially pH balanced pubic washes to clean your pubic hair if you must use a product. You can find these washes over the counter or by asking your local pharmacist. Do not use deodorant, talcum powder, shampoo, or fragranced wipes to clean your pubic hair. This can be especially tempting if you are experiencing unpleasant odors from your pubic region. After using the toilet, you may want to wipe your pubic region with a damp towel or tissue paper. This will help you maintain the cleanliness of your pubic hair. Regularly wiping after using the toilet is essential in stopping the spread of harmful bacteria around your pubic region. Pubic hair, especially, is a great breeding ground for these germs. Moisture can cause irritation. Keeping your pubic hair dry can prevent discomfort and bacteria from growing.  Dry your pubic hair completely before putting on clothes after showering. Wear looser clothing and avoid nylon, synthetic, or tight clothing where moisture can be trapped. This is especially important when temperatures are high and sweating occurs down there. There's no firm evidence that having excessive pubic hair can trap germs or debris in your pubic region; however, trimming down the excess may make you feel cleaner. Depending on your preference, you may choose to trim pubic hair for a cleaner appearance.  You may feel ashamed or embarrassed if you have a lot of pubic hair. However, having pubic hair is a sign of maturity and having a lot of it is not a bad thing. And keeping your pubic hair clean and manageable is an important task to keep up your own personal health and hygiene. While trimming your pubic hair is okay, try to avoid shaving it off completely on a regular basis. Pubic hair protects against certain harmful bacteria and viruses, making it more difficult for them to enter the body. Regularly shaving that sensitive area could also...

TL;DR in English: Wash your pubic hair using warm water. Wipe your pubic area with a wet towel or tissue paper. Keep your pubic hair dry. Trim your pubic hair, if desired.

Training does not just refer to practicing and sparring - it extends, for example, to obtaining an adequate amount of sleep. Olympians sleep an average of 8 hours every night, so aim to sleep this same amount. In addition, consider taking a 30-minute nap in the early afternoon to refuel your energy levels. Observe your current dietary habits and consider whether there are changes you could make to reach your goals. For example, if your goal is to lose weight but you eat huge portions for dinner, you might want to space out your meals throughout the day so that you can burn off more calories while sleeping. Consult a nutritionist to create a balanced diet plan that is tailored to your specific needs and health concerns. While sparring and practicing taekwondo techniques are important parts of training to become an Olympic fighter, you will also want to spend time in the weight room and working on core strength and flexibility. These are areas you must be well-rounded in in order to compete at an elite level. Consider signing up for a yoga class - you will get both physical and mental benefits that could complement your training. Aside from physical practice, Olympic athletes prepare psychologically for matches. Pick a mantra that motivates you before you step on the mat, read inspirational quotes or books, and, most importantly, develop a routine that you do not stray from. Successful Olympic athletes create and stick to a physical and mental preparation routine that will be reassuring when in a new setting for a match. Visualize your routine. Imagine all of the sensory input you will be getting, like the cheers of the crowd, the approach of your opponent, or the impact of your attack. This will motivate you as well as allow you to anticipate some of the surprise elements of the big day, which otherwise could work to your disadvantage. Family, friends, and teammates can boost your energy when training is not going as expected and can also be your #1 source of support when you win a tournament. Keep them...

TL;DR in English: Get enough sleep. Maintain a healthy diet. Vary your exercise routine. Prepare mentally. Build a support network. Be passionate.

The belief that some races are superior while others are inferior is the foundation of racism. If you believe deep down that the race you belong to (or one you don't belong to) has qualities that make it better than other races, that is racist thinking. Be honest with yourself about what you believe. Do you stereotype people based on their race? For example, it's racist to believe that all members of a certain race are untrustworthy. It's equally racist to believe that all members of a certain race are smart. Applying any one stereotype to all members of a race is racist thinking.  Many people who practice this type of racism believe that it's harmless. For example, they might think assuming a person of a certain race is smarter than average is a compliment. However, since this assumption is based on a racial stereotype, it's not a compliment: it's racist. In worst-case scenarios, judging people based on stereotypes can be extremely dangerous. For example, innocent people are frequently targeted as criminals due to the color of their skin, even when they haven't committed any crime. Let's say someone you've never met before is introduced to you at a work function. First impressions always come with a few snap judgments, but are yours generally racial in tone? Do you assume things about the person based on skin color? That's a racist tendency.  Racism isn't limited to judging based on skin color. If you make judgments based on someone's attire, accent, hairstyle, jewelry, or other aspects of their appearance related to their race, those judgments also fall into the racism category.  The judgments you make can be positive or negative, but in either case, they are racist. Whether you assume the person is funny, sexual, scary, or any other quality, it's still making a judgment based on a stereotype. When you hear someone else point something out as racist, are you able to understand their point? Or do you tend to think it isn't really racist? Racism is a major problem in just about every country in the world. If...

TL;DR in English: See if you think some races are better or worse than others. See if you think all members of a race have certain qualities. Pay attention to snap judgments you make when you meet someone. Think about whether you tend to dismiss concerns about racism. Think about whether you usually notice racial injustice.

If you are feeling the urge to cut yourself, go somewhere it is harder to do. This can be some place public like a shop or the living room of your home with your family or your roommates. This will make it harder for you to give in to the urge to cut. It also might make you feel better, especially if you are around people who love and support you. If you're alone in your house or are unable to leave, call someone you like to talk with when you get the urge to cut. This can be a family member, a trusted friend, or a hotline. It might be helpful to create a phone list of people you can call. You can also program needed numbers into your phone.  There are many hotlines you can call for help. One is 1-800-273-TALK, a 24-hour crisis hotline for those who are about to self-harm or are in an emergency situation. You can also call 1-800-334-HELP, the Self Injury Foundation’s 24-hour national crisis line. Also try 1-800-DONT-CUT, which provides information about self-harm. If you hurt yourself or want to see a doctor, call 1-800-366-8288, which is S.A.F.E. Alternatives’ information line for immediate support and referrals to a local physician. If you are in the UK, you can call the Samaritans at 116 123, which is an agency that runs 24/7 and is dedicated to moments when you want to self-harm. You can also call Childline, a hotline for children and teens at 0800 1111. Both numbers are free from mobiles and landlines and neither will appear on your phone bill. One great way to avoid self-harm is to distract yourself. Not every distraction technique works for everyone, so you may need to try a few before you find which one works for you. Sometimes the trigger or urge can be different depending on your feelings or the situation, which means your response to prevent or stop self-harm will also be different.  Try the butterfly method. When you have the urge to cut, draw a butterfly where you want to harm yourself and name it after a loved one or someone that wants you to get better. If you cut, the butterfly dies. You have...

TL;DR in English: Go somewhere you can't cut yourself. Call someone. Distract yourself. Delay cutting.

Paris is bustling with tourists in July and August – in fact, it boasts 27 million visitors, making it the most visited city in the world. Actual residents tend to flee during this time, meaning you'll just be surrounded by other tourists. It's better to go April through June or September through November. Christmas is beautiful with the city all lit up, but November through February is their cold, rainy season. That being said, most fashion shows are in September and October, making it more difficult to get a hotel, and at an off-season price (slightly lower than normal). Your best bet, if it works for your schedule, may be the spring. Apart from early-in-the-week flights being cheaper, there are a couple of things to consider:  Aim to arrive in Paris on a Sunday or Monday if you'll be using the Metro a lot. This way you'll be able to take advantage of purchasing a Metro (Paris metropolitan subway) Navigo Découverte pass – a weekly pass in the form of a reloadable "smart card." The Navigo Week pass price, valid only from Monday at 00:00 to Sunday 23:59:59, does not go on-sale until Monday and is not sold during the weekend.  If you purchase on Thursday, then your week is already half-gone. If you're museum-focused, arrive on a Saturday, a day before the first Sunday of the month. Most Paris museums (there are over 3,800 museums in Paris) are free on the first Sunday of the month. When possible, try to choose the same airline on all flights (as opposed to flying one portion with one airline to a connecting airport, then flying with an affiliate airline). It's also best to book your flight around two to three months in advance. Research shows that it's during this time that flights are at their lowest prices.  Be aware that almost all international flights from the United States to Paris's Charles de Gaulle airport will be incoming into Terminal 1. You may want to visit the CDG website for more information.  Call  your airline in advance and ask for assistance at the airport if you have suffered any injury or...
