Pour the warm syrup over the cranberries. Allow the mixture to cool completely. Drain the cranberries. Transfer the cranberries to a shallow bowl.

. You can cast on as many stitches as you like to work the herringbone stitch. The stitch will work with an even or odd number, so cast on the number of stitches required for your project or as many as you like to practice the stitch. For example, if you want to practice the herringbone stitch, then you might cast on 10 stitches and work them for 8 to 10 rows to create a sample swatch. . Knit the first stitch in your row of cast on stitches. To knit, insert the right needle into the back of the first stitch on the left needle. Then, loop the yarn over your needle and pull the yarn through the old stitch. As you do this, slip the new stitch onto your right needle and let the old stitch slide off your left needle. Next, you will need to slip a stitch from the left needle to the right needle. Slide the next stitch over and onto the right hand needle. After slipping the stitch off the left hand needle and onto the right hand needle, knit another stitch. Knit the stitch as you normally would. Insert the left hand needle into the slipped stitch and bring it over the knit stitch. Lift the slipped stitch up and over the first knit stitch on the needle. Do not allow the stitch to slip off the needle. Now that the slipped stitch is back on the left hand needle, you will need to knit into it. Knit into the slipped stitch as you normally would. This will complete 1 stitch sequence. To continue the row, repeat the sequence beginning with knitting 1 stitch. Keep repeating the sequence until you get to the end of the row.

TL;DR in English: Cast on Knit 1 Slip 1 stitch off and onto the right needle. Knit another stitch. Transfer the slipped stitch to the left needle. Knit into the slipped stitch. Continue the sequence to the end of the row.

Imagine where you want your viewer's eye level to be and sketch that line lightly with a pencil. If you want a precise line, lay a ruler across the paper and run your pencil along it to get an exact horizon line. You can place the horizon anywhere you like. Draw it across the upper 1/3, center, or lower 1/3 of your paper, for instance. Positioning the horizon low will help you create a view looking up while putting the horizon near the top will direct the viewer to look down. One-point perspective always has a single focal point on the horizon where all the lines of interest meet. Decide where you want the viewer to focus and make a small dot or mark on the horizon to make this vanishing point. You've probably seen drawings of a street that have the vanishing point on the center of the horizon. This creates a very noticeable narrowing of the street, which can make it easier for beginners to draw. Set your ruler down so it passes through the vanishing point on the horizon. You can angle your ruler in any direction and lightly run your pencil along it to make a perspective line. Make as many perspective lines as you like. For example, if you're making a road, you'll probably want to draw 2 lines that converge at the vanishing point. Perspective lines are also called orthogonal lines. You can use them as guidelines to draw other subjects in your drawing so they're also in one-point perspective. Use your ruler to create at least 3 or 4 perspective lines that extend from the vanishing point. Then, draw a square within your perspective lines so the top and bottom lines of the square are parallel to the horizon lines. Make lines that are perpendicular to the horizon line in order to connect the sides of your box. You can try this with other shapes. Draw the closest side of a shape and connect its corners to the vanishing point on your horizon. If you're trying to add depth to your drawings, you'll need to choose a single thing that draws the viewer in. For example, you could draw a street that narrows in the...

TL;DR in English: Draw a horizon line across your paper. Make a pencil mark on the horizon where you want the vanishing point. Draw lines that extend from your vanishing point. Sketch a geometric object or house to practice perspective. Practice drawing landscapes or streets using one-point perspective. You've finished one-point perspective.

Many states require that you not only complete a barbering program, but also have your high school diploma. Even if the state you live in does not have a diploma requirement, many barbering schools list this among admission requirements.  While in high school, you may have the option to prepare you for your barbering career. Any classes on hair styling, small business management, or accounting can be a serious benefit to your career. Many high schools partner with community colleges to offer more specialized courses for students. You might be able to take a course in barbering or hair styling, which will give you a head start in your career. You might even want to see if a local barber will take you on as a part time employee. Explain your plans to him, and let him know that you're willing to help with whatever he might need around the shop while you observe his daily routines. Try to pay attention to:  How space and equipment are organized How he interacts with customers How chores and workflow are managed Miscellaneous errands you might not have considered Choose your program wisely. Your education and time are an investment, and you'll want to learn not only the ins and outs of snips and shaves, but you'll also want to learn about the business side of things. Some states also require a minimum number of hours of practice before you can even be considered for licensing as a barber.  Regardless of state, most programs include courses in:  Bacteriology Honing and stropping Hygiene Physiology Sanitation and sterilization Scalp and skin diseases Shampoo and scalp massage State barber laws, rules, and regulations Straight razors Some of this may be covered in your barbering program, but on the business side of things, you might not think about the cost of insurance you may need to cut hair and shave. Accidents, though few and far between, do occur. You'll need to protect yourself, and your clients, from issues that might arise from being uninsured. No matter the state you live in, you will be expected to take an...

Bottled or tap water will work. The exact amount of water you should pour in will vary depending on the size of the bong you’re using. Fill up the bong so the water comes no more than 1 inch (2.54 cm) above the tip of the downstem (the long tube of glass that sticks into the bong). Any more water than that and you could get splashed while you’re smoking. When you’re filling the bong with water, pour the water directly into the mouthpiece (the open part at the top of the bong). Use your fingers, a pair of scissors, or a grinder. Make sure it’s ground up finely. Break off a couple of larger pieces, about 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) long and wide, to pack at the bottom of the bong bowl. If you're using a grinder, take the lid off and place 2 or 3 buds of cannabis in between the grinder's teeth. Close the lid and twist the lid back and forth to grind up the cannabis inside. The bowl is the funnel-shaped piece that sits in the outside portion of the downstem. Take the large pieces of cannabis you set aside and pack them in the bowl first; these pieces will prevent the finely ground cannabis from getting sucked through the bowl as you're smoking. Then, pinch some of the ground cannabis between your fingers and drop it into the bowl.  Don’t pack the cannabis too tightly or air won’t be able to pass through it. If the cannabis looks pressed down or compacted in the bowl, use something small and thin like a paper clip to stir it up and loosen it. If you're smoking alone, don't pack the bowl more than half full. You can always pack more later. If you're smoking with friends, pack the bowl so the cannabis comes up to the rim of the bowl. Don't pack it any higher or some could fall out as you're smoking.

TL;DR in English: Fill the bong with water. Grind up your cannabis. Pack the cannabis in the bong bowl.

Carefully transfer the contents of the pot into the large mixing bowl, right over the cranberries. The cranberries will immediately float to the surface of the syrup. Place a smaller mixing bowl or a plate over the bowl to keep them submerged. You may want to test the syrup out on a few cranberries before pouring it over all of them. The cranberries will burst if the syrup is too hot. Leave the submerged cranberries in the bowl until the syrup has completely cooled. Once cooled, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Do not remove the plate first – wrap the whole thing up. Place the bowl in the refrigerator overnight. On the following day, remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Drain the cranberries in a colander. Reserve the syrup as it drains – don't throw it away. You won't need it for this particular recipe, but you can use this tasty simple syrup later on to sweeten holiday cocktails. Line a large shallow bowl with paper towels and pour the drained cranberries into it. Use additional paper towels to pat the berries dry. Keep patting them until all of the liquid is absorbed. The cranberries should feel tacky but not wet. If you leave any leftover liquid on the cranberries, the sugar will clump up when you try to roll them.

TL;DR in English:


Gather the necessary materials. Fill the cup 1/4 of the way up with purified water.

Go online and find a picture of a trophy outline. You can use search terms such as "trophy clip art" or "trophy outline." You can also use a page from a coloring book. Be sure to print the trophy out on regular printer paper.  The trophy needs to be the same size you want your final trophy to be. If you need to, use an image editing program, such as Photoshop or Microsoft Paint, to make it bigger. You will be using graphite on the back of the paper to trace it onto the cardboard. If you don't want to do that, print the trophy out on cardstock to use as a stencil instead. Gold and silver are the most popular trophy colors, but you can make yours any color you want. Apply 1 coat of acrylic craft paint with a synthetic taklon brush, then let it dry, about 10 to 20 minutes. Apply a second coat of paint, and let it dry too.  You only need to paint the front of the trophy, but you need to paint both sides of the semicircle. You can use spray paint too, but be sure to work in a well-ventilated area. Apply the spray paint from 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) away. Because cardboard is absorbent, you'll probably only need a single coat. You're only limited by your creativity and your materials in this step. Decide what sort of occasion the trophy is for, then decorate it accordingly. Here are some ideas for you:  Write "#1" or "Winner!" on the trophy with a black marker. Turn the trophy into a picture frame by cutting out a square or rectangle, then gluing a photo behind it. Draw designs over the trophy with hot glue, then paint over them using extra paint. This will give you a 3D look. Hot glue beads, buttons, or rhinestones to the trophy. Leave them as they are, or paint them to match the trophy.

TL;DR in English: Print out an outline of a trophy. Paint the trophy and base your desired color. Decorate the trophy with paint, markers, or other embellishments.

Silkies are small birds so they don’t need as much space as larger chickens. That said, if you have the option to give them more space in the coop, do so. They will appreciate the extra room.  You can order a premade coop online or build your own. A good coop will have a mesh ventilation window at the top of the structure, which you can close during rainy weather. There should be a door to let chickens out into the yard or run. Have an area for the chickens to roost and nest. This includes a bar they can roost on and hay so they can lay eggs. Hawks, owls, dogs, cats, raccoons, and coyotes may all target silkies. To keep your chickens safe, make sure that their coop is predator-proof.  Use wire with holes that are no larger than .5 inches (13 mm) wide so that other animals can't climb in. Either choose a coop with a solid floor or bury wire mesh into the ground under the coop. This prevents burrowing animals, like rats, from digging their way in. All windows and top openings should be covered with mesh. Check for holes and gaps regularly. A chicken run is a small, enclosed area outside of the coop where your silkies can safely roam during the day. Make sure the area is covered from the top so hawks cannot swoop at them. Since silkies don’t do well in wet weather, make sure that at least part of the run is covered on top. Chicken runs keep chickens safe from predators. They also prevent your chickens from escaping or becoming lost. If you want to skip the chicken run and give your silkies more room to explore, you can always keep them in a fenced yard. Give them as much space as you can.  Free-range chickens often have a healthier diet, as they will supplement their feed with grasses and bugs. Make sure that part of the yard is shaded or covered so that the silkies have protection from rain and heavy sun. You can set up an overhang or plant trees for shade. Overhead covering is still important for free-range chickens since predators could attack them during the day. Even if your chickens are free-range, they...

TL;DR in English: Set up a coop with at least 8 inches (200 mm) for every bird in your flock. Choose a coop that predators can’t break into. Set up a chicken run outside of the coop to protect the chickens. Fence in an outdoor area if you want free-range chickens. Install 1 nest box for every 4 birds. Add a 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) layer of bedding to the bottom of the coop. Keep silkies and chickens with similar temperaments together.

A scarf or headband can serve to keep your hair out of your face and add style to your mermaid braid look.  Tie a colored silk scarf around your head for a more dressed-up, sophisticated look. To make the mermaid braid a more sporty, everyday hairstyle, try adding a plain cotton headband. Adding small, pretty decorations amidst your braid will draw attention to the style and make it look more complex.  For a carefree, hippie look, add fresh flowers into your braid. Simply stick the stems down into your braid. If they don’t feel secure, you can use bobby pins to keep them in place. For a similar look that will last longer, use fake flowers. You can also add decorative bobby pins into your braid. Many bobby pins have flowers, jewels, or bright colors on their ends. You can stick them into your braid to create extra visual interest.

TL;DR in English: Add a scarf or headband. Decorate the braid itself.

At least one month before the dance, have a theme ready. Come up with five or six theme ideas as a committee, and have a vote across campus so that students can pick their favorite.  Get approval from your staff adviser for any potential themes. Getting the theme cleared early on prevents later potential disapproval. Choose themes that fit the mood of the dance. If you want a more formal dance, an Old Hollywood theme might be more appropriate. If you want a more casual dance, something like Beach Luau may fit better. Whether the dance is going to be at a local hotel or in the school gym, make sure you reserve a venue as early as possible. Filing a proper room reservation with your school ensures that you get the space you need.  Make a copy of the venue contract or room reservation for your own records, so that you can reference it whenever you need it. Include all necessary facilities on your reservation. If you need the gym, the bathrooms, and the kitchen to store refreshments, make sure to list all of them. Get your DJ, photographer, and others booked as soon as the budget is set. Reserve any other equipment your vendors may need, such as sound systems, at this time, too.  Work with your staff adviser to make sure all of the contracts are properly drawn up and include all the information your school needs. Keep copies of any contracts or agreements for your committee’s review. Before everything becomes too hectic with the rest of homecoming, make a detailed plan of how you want the day of the dance to work. Set your day-of plan a month in advance.  Have a detailed floor plan of your location and how you want to decorate. Draw out where the DJ should go, where the ticket table is set up, where lights should be strung, and other details. Create a plan for coat-check. Decide where coats will be stored, where the table will be set, and how you will tag coats to keep them organized. Also make sure you have at least one volunteer to man the table and two to retrieve coats. Designate someone as the day-of...

For this method, you will need salt, purified water, a small clean glass or plastic cup, a large bowl, and ice. If you have a thermometer it would also be useful, but not necessary.   Make sure your glass is very clean; any impurities can cause the water to crystallize into ice before supercooling occurs. Impurities can also lower the freezing point of water.  The bowl must be large enough to contain the glass and enough ice to submerge the glass. The amount of water added doesn’t have to be exact. Add enough that you will be able to measure the temperature, but not so much that you won’t be able to surround the cup with ice above the water line. Place the cup in the center of the bowl.

Most people tend to associate drinking with some sort of activity, setting, feeling or time of day. Just thinking about socially drinking can lead to increased cravings for alcohol. So, your own thoughts can be triggers to drinking. Negative feelings such as stress and anxiety can also trigger cravings for alcohol.  Clubbing or going to bars is also often associated with drinking and it might be difficult to stop your cravings when visiting such places and witnessing everyone around you drinking. That is why, at least while your cravings are really strong, you should do your best to avoid such trigger settings. You might feel sure that you won’t be tempted to drink, but it is still best not to test yourself, at least in the beginning. This is not to say that you should avoid your friends or having fun, just try to do it in places that don’t remind you of alcohol. Memories from your past can also contribute to cravings. If you start remembering all the good times you had drinking with friends and partying, stop and try to focus on your negative experiences with alcohol instead.  Think of all those times when you felt physically horrible because of alcohol, or call to your mind the times when you made huge mistakes because you were drunk. Concentrate on how these situations made you feel and tell yourself that you don’t want to feel this way again. If you don't like dwelling on negative memories, try concentrating on the future. Try to picture, as vividly as you can, all the wonderful things that will happen to you in the future and think about how alcohol will get in the way of these hopes and dreams. Social support is integral to combating cravings for alcohol. Have you ever been on a diet? As most people who have will let you know, dieting together with friends or family members is much easier than doing it by yourself. This way, when you are craving a piece of moist chocolate cake, you can talk to someone who will help you overcome the craving. The same goes for other types of cravings as well, including...

Hypothyroidism is typically caused by autoimmune diseases, radiation therapy, thyroid treatments, and some medications. Additionally, having low levels of iodine may cause hypothyroidism. Symptoms of an underactive thyroid include:  Fatigue Changes in your menstrual cycle Constipation Depression Dry, coarse hair Hair loss Dry skin Disturbed sleep cycle, usually sleeps a lot more Intolerance to cold Decreased heart rate Swelling of the thyroid gland (goiter) Muscle aches and weakness Puffy face Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight Hyperthyroidism may be caused by Grave’s disease or thyroid nodules, which are small growths on your thyroid. It’s best to get your hyperthyroidism treated because it can cause serious complications, like heart problems or bone problems. Watch for the following symptoms:  Rapid heart rate Increased respiratory rate Frequent and loose bowel movements Fine hair that may be falling out Thinning skin Unexplained weight loss Nervousness, irritability, a feeling of high energy Moodiness Intolerance to heat Sweatiness Reddish skin which may be itchy Trouble sleeping Changes in your menstrual cycle Your doctor will likely suggest you take medication, such as radioactive iodine, methimazole (Tapazole), or propylithiouracil, to shrink your thyroid. Additionally, they might prescribe medications to help relieve your symptoms, like beta blockers for tremors or heart palpitations. You should feel better very soon after starting treatment. In rare cases, your doctor may recommend surgery to remove part of your thyroid. However, they’ll likely only suggest surgery after every other treatment has failed. Don’t stop your dietary and exercise changes after starting medical treatment for your thyroid condition. Caring for yourself will still support healthy thyroid function so you can feel your best. However, talk to your doctor about your diet, exercise, and supplement habits.

TL;DR in English: Watch for symptoms of hypothyroidism, which is an underactive thyroid. Notice symptoms of hyperthyroidism, which is overactive thyroid. Ask about treatments to shrink your thyroid if you have hyperthyroidism. Continue your wellness practice while you undergo medical treatment.

Freshwater fish are the best choice for beginners, as they require less aquarium maintenance. They also generally have fewer health issues in home aquariums. Saltwater fish require saltwater aquariums and are more challenging to maintain. However, they are quite beautiful. In many cases, small fish are peaceful breeds. They also require less tank space, making them a good choice for first-time fish owners. Neon tetras, zebra danios, and livebearers are all solid options. Be aware that some fish thought to be able to keep in bowls, like goldfish, can actually grow quite large. Ideally, the smallest fish tank you can keep is 2.5 gallons.   If you go with a fish species that prefer to live in schools or shoals, like tetras, plan to purchase at least five of them at once. Schooling fish swim together, whereas shoaling fish only swim together when afraid. Both fish need companions to feel safe. When deciding which fish to put in your tank, you’ll need to go beyond color and appearance and focus on behaviors instead. You generally need to either put non-aggressive or aggressive fish together. If you mix the types, then the aggressive fish will usually attack the others.  For example, danios, guppies, and tiger pleco are all friendly fish that will coexist peacefully together. Angelfish and cichlids are two types of aggressive fish that can often live in a tank together without harming one another. If you purchase from a pet store, you have the added security of seeing the actual fish that you are buying. Most stores also often a refund if the fish dies prior to a certain date. If you buy online, you’ll forgo any choice regarding the individual fish, but you will gain more fish breeds to choose from.  If you do go the online route, choose a dealer that offers clear customer service connections via email or the phone. Look for positive reviews online as well. These can often be found in fish owner forums. Avoid wild-caught whenever possible. Wild-caught fish are often more sensitive, caught in inhumane ways, and...

The longer you wait to eat them, the soggier the crabs will grow. Put them on plates and serve them as soon as possible. To keep from making a mess, you can line the plate with a paper towel before placing the crab on top. A delicious dish deserves a beautiful presentation! Sprinkle the crab with pinch of flaky sea salt to bring out the flavors in the meat. Chop up some fresh parsley leaves and sprinkle those over the top as well. The parsley will enhance the crab's natural briny flavor and add a pleasing pop of color. Cut up a fresh lemon into small wedges, then place them in a bowl for the table or add a few wedges on each plate of crab. A few squeezes of the lemon juice will add a bright citrus note that contrasts nicely with the savory meat. Refrigerate any crab leftovers within 2 hours of cooking and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. You can either eat them on their own or use them in other dishes, such as sandwiches, tacos, salad, sushi rolls, and omelets.  You can also freeze the cooked crab in freezer bags or plastic wrap for 2-3 months. The crab won't stay crispy, but the meat will still be usable in other dishes. To make the meat crispy again, try re-breading and frying it.

TL;DR in English: Serve the crabs hot, straight out of the oil. Garnish with flaky salt and fresh parsley. Serve with fresh lemon wedges. Store leftovers to use in other dishes.

Once you break up, walk away and stop talking to him for a while, even if you hope to remain friends in the future. Stop calling, stop responding to his texts, and consider blocking him or unfriending him on all your social media accounts. Just avoid all interactions with him.  Social media can be a tough trap during a break up. Try to block him and his friends, and avoid getting sucked into checking his status every hour on the dot to see what he's doing. Give yourself some space. "Staying friends" is a nice idea that almost never works. Trying to stay friends only makes the process of breaking up harder. If you actually want to be friends with this person, give yourselves some time alone to get over each other, and then reconnect later when your feelings have cooled off. Don't immediately transition into hanging out "as friends." That'll be too hard. Often, it's easier to jump into a new relationship than to process the last one. Try giving yourself enough time to grieve over the relationship that just ended, and understand what went wrong, instead of just dating someone else. How long is an appropriate amount of time? It will differ for everybody. Longer relationships will always need more time than shorter relationships. If you just dumped a guy who you had a fling with, it might be fine to start dating again right away. Try to look on the end of a relationship with some sense of joy. You're free! You can do what you want! You can stay up till 2 am and blast Taylor Swift and eat chocolate ice cream while you watch "Orange is the New Black" without having to worry about your criticizing boyfriend. Just let yourself be yourself for a while, and celebrate your new found freedom. Start hanging gout with new kinds of people, and reconnect with old friends. Live the single life. Start meeting people, when you feel ready. What have you learned from this experience? If you've had a messy break-up with a guy, try not to make the same mistake twice. If you were attracted to someone for the wrong reasons, don't let...

TL;DR in English: Stop talking to him. Give yourself some time alone. Have fun. Start dating other kinds of guys when you're ready.

Try to get in touch with your emotions by listening to music, reading, or going for walks in nature. Solitary activities like these can give you lots of time to think about what you want to happen in the future of your friendship. Perhaps the underlying problem is that you and your best friend have grown apart or no longer share the same interests. It's tough, but it happens, and sometimes relationships end. Make an effort to meet new people by joining a team or a club. You may find that your relationship with your best friend has simply run its course, and you are happier overall. After some time apart, try to reconnect with your best friend and see how you get along. You may have learned that the two of you no longer need each other, or that there was something bothering your best friend that they didn't tell you at the time. Do you feel a lot safer, saner, and calmer without the presence of your best friend in your life? You may be coming to the realization that your friendship is toxic, in which case you may be feeling confused or emotionally empty. Be brave enough to walk away if the friendship feels abusive, one-sided, or otherwise unhealthy. Write down your observations about life without your best friend. Keeping a journal of your activities during this time can be a great way to explore your feelings about your friendship and your emotional needs.

TL;DR in English: Spend time on your own. Make new friends. Reconnect with your best friend in a week or so. Distance yourself if the friendship is toxic.

Continue to add and tag photos.

TL;DR in English:


Keep an induction diary. Use an electric breast-pump. Apply lubrication. Apply hot compresses. Get your partner involved.

Using a towel or oven mitt, take the bowl out of the microwave. Use a slotted spoon to add the eggs one by one. Make sure each is covered completely by the water. Don't drop the eggs directly into the water. Not only can they break when they hit the bottom, but they can also splash boiling-hot water upward. Once all the eggs are added, cover the bowl with a lid or a plate. Let it sit — the eggs will cook in the heat of the near-boiling water. Your cooking time will vary depending on how hard you want your eggs. In general, you should expect your eggs to take slightly more time than they would on the stove. This is because they did not have a chance to cook while the water was heating up.   If you like your eggs soft-boiled, let them sit for 10 minutes or less. The yolk should still be somewhat runny.  If you like your eggs medium-boiled, let them sit for about 15 minutes. The yolk should be semi-soft and the whites should be quite firm.  If you like your eggs hard-boiled, let them sit for 20 minutes or more. The white and yolk should be completely firm without being an unappealing grey-green color.

TL;DR in English: Remove the bowl and carefully add the eggs. Cover the bowl and let sit.

While loosening your belt after a meal seems like a silly cliche, it can help in this case. Increased pressure on your abdomen and lower esophageal sphincter help push up the stomach acids that cause heartburn. Looser clothing, especially after big meals, will help relieve heartburn. Sometimes heartburn symptoms are caused by plain old gravity. By lying down after a meal — when those stomach acids are most active — they can flow more easily toward your esophagus and get past your esophageal sphincter. Avoid lying down for 30 – 60 minutes after a meal. Generally avoid late meals as well since you should wait at least three hours after a meal before going to bed. If you prefer not to take medications, then you can often alleviate your heartburn with simple baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Mix one teaspoon in a glass of water, and drink it after your meal or when signs of heartburn begin. Do not exceed five teaspoons of baking soda in a day without first talking to your doctor. You can choose from a wide array of OTC products that target heartburn. The three most common classes of these drugs are antacids, H2 blockers, and proton pump inhibitors.  Antacids (products such as Tums) provide quick, short-term relief for heartburn by neutralizing your stomach acid.  H2 blockers—ranitidine (Zantac) and famotidine (Pepcid)—slow the production of stomach acid. These products take up to an hour to work, but they work for a longer period of time.  Proton pump inhibitors—omeprazole (Prilosec) and lansoprazole (Prevacid 24HR)—slow your body’s production of stomach acid even more. These products are generally used for heartburn that isn’t controlled by antacids or H2 blockers and that occurs more frequently than two days a week. Sometimes people experience heartburn when they go to bed even after waiting several hours after dinner. If heartburn disrupts your ability to sleep, try slightly angling the head of your bed. By lying at a gentle slope instead of parallel to the ground, you can help alleviate heartburn symptoms. ...

TL;DR in English: Loosen your clothing after meals. Do not lie down immediately after a meal. Drink a mix of baking soda and water. Take over-the-counter (OTC) drugs for heartburn. Elevate your mattress. Go for a walk. Eat modest portions at mealtime. Avoid foods that trigger your heartburn. Maintain a healthy weight. Quit smoking

Create quality family time and encourage conversation during dinner.  Ask everyone to turn off their cellphones or leave them in another room. That way, you can all focus your attention on the dinner conversation. Think of a few questions for everyone at the table to answer, and avoid judging the replies. Focus on topics like: the events of everyone’s day, future plans with friends, or comments on the meal. Go for “neutral” topics that won’t lead to a conflict or a fight. Try to get to know your teen as a person. Ask them about television shows they’re watching right now, or books they’re reading. Share your own favorite shows or books. Another tactic at the dinner table you can try is to ask your teen about the highlight of their day. It could be as simple as a good test score or a funny joke a friend told during lunch. Or it could relate to current news, like the landing of the Mars rover. Share your highlight with your teen as well. Listen to their highlight and don’t interrupt them. If you’re spending a lot of time in the car with your teen as their designated chauffeur, make the most of the driving time and use it to talk. For some drivers, talking in the car can be distracting. So focus more on introducing topics of conversation and then listening to your teen’s responses. Try to keep the conversation natural and open. You could comment on your immediate surroundings (“Did you see that guy make that left turn?” “This traffic light is taking forever, huh?”). Or you could focus on basic topics of conversation like your teens plans for the night, or what time they need a ride home. Watch the nightly news together and chat during the commercials. If you’re both into a show on Netflix, pause between episodes. Recap what just happened in the last scene or your thoughts on what will happen in the next episode. This will give you and your teen something in common to discuss and will likely lead to natural banter between the two of you. Short bursts of communication are a good way to get a quiet teen to talk....

TL;DR in English: Start a conversation at the dinner table. Use time in the car for a conversation. Start a conversation during a commercial break. Chat at night before bed.

Unlike English, there is no verb in Turkish that means "to be." Rather, you add the "personal suffix" that corresponds to the pronoun to the object noun. There are 5 suffixes for first and second person singular, first and second person singular, and third person plural. There is no suffix for third person singular.  First person singular: Ben öğretmenim. (I am a teacher.) Second person singular: Sen öğretmensin. (You are a teacher.) First person plural: Biz öğretmeniz. (We are teachers.) Second person plural: Siz öğretmensiniz. (You all are teachers.) Note that like many European languages, such as Spanish and French, this form is also used as a polite, formal form of address – typically with elders or people in a position of authority. Third person plural: Onlar öğretmenler. (They are teachers.) Since there is a different personal suffix for each pronoun, you can tell what the pronoun is by the suffix used. For this reason, the leading pronoun is usually left off the sentence to avoid redundancy. For example, you would typically simply say "öğretmenim" to mean "I am a teacher." While you may add a suffix to a word in English, you may add multiple suffixes to a root word in the Turkish language. These suffixes indicate mood, negation, passivity, plurality, possession, questioning, and many other features. All of these suffixes can make for some long, intimidating words – but they aren't so scary if you know how to break them down.  Unlike German, long words in Turkish aren't combinations of distinct words. Rather, they consist of a root word with various suffixes that describe that root word, ultimately making the root word more precise. For example, if you take the word ev (meaning "house") and add suffixes, you end up with evimdekilerden, which means "some of the ones in my house." Vowels in suffix match the final vowel of the root word in terms of being front or back, open or closed, and rounded or unrounded. The goal is to say a word with the least amount of oral movement possible. This enables words to...

TL;DR in English: Use a suffix with a pronoun to convey a state of being. Omit the leading pronoun when using the personal suffix. Add suffixes to change the grammatical features of a root word. Harmonize suffix vowels with the final vowel of the root word. Change consonants when pronunciation changes. Place the verb at the end of any sentence. Use resources available on the Türk Dil Kurumu (TDK) website.

For each day, jot down a few notes about when you massaged, the duration, and if you felt any contractions. You can also log information about any other induction methods that you are trying. This can be a very helpful tool in seeing which methods work for you and which ones fall flat.  You might write, “Massaged both breasts at 1pm for 15 mins total-used lotion, no contractions.” If you prefer to operate on a schedule, you might also set a timer on your phone to alert you for your chosen massaging times. Make sure to bring this journal with you when you visit with your doctor or midwife. Some women find it helpful to use an electric breastfeeding pump in addition to massaging. The pump will apply more forceful pressure to your areola and nipple area, possibly prompting contractions. Women may also find that their hands hurt during pregnancy and a pump will do the manual work for you. Experiment with the pump’s settings to find the one that is the most comfortable for you. Remember that the most pressure does not necessarily yield the best results. If your nipples are dry, sore, or tender, you will have a more difficult time benefiting from (or tolerating) the stimulation technique. Apply a natural lubricant, such as nipple butter or coconut oil, to your areola and nipple. Rub it in as part of the massage process. Repeat as needed. Heat is also known to stimulate your let-down reflex and the release of oxytocin. Place a hot compress on one breast at a time for five minutes each. Rotate over the course of 30 minutes to one hour. Repeat this process up to three times a day.  Make sure that the compress is not too hot. It should warm your skin, not burn it. You can also purchase microwaveable heat pouches that double as bra inserts at your local maternity store. You can also take a hot shower. Turn towards the water and direct it toward your breasts while massaging for maximum effect. This may seem like a lot of work, but if you get your partner involved you may be able to lighten up a bit. Show your partner the...

Many libraries require you to present proof of residency in order to get a library card. Before you head to the library, gather two pieces of mail with your given name and address on them, such as a bank statement or utility bill. For children or teenagers, a parent’s proof of residency is usually requested. Once you’ve proven residency, you need to prove you are who you say you are. Your library branch will require some form of ID. Although this is typically a state-issued license or ID, students may be able to use their school ID cards, as well. Libraries do not issue library cards online, so make sure you locate and visit your local library in person with the required documents. If you live outside of the area, you may also be required to pay a yearly fee. Although using online catalogs is possible, you have to have a library card before you can use library resources. While at the library, set up your online library profile. This typically uses your library card barcode and a password of your choosing. Creating an online library profile is required to check out items digitally. The way to set up your online account varies from library to library. Some will have simple instructions, while others will require a librarian to complete the process for you.

Don't focus on only one person or area.  Make eye contact with members of your audience. If eye contact is too intense for you, look just above their heads at a point such as a clock or a painting. Remember to look to both sides of the room. Don't favor just the right or left. Move your eyes around your audience so that everyone feels included in the presentation. The natural adrenaline rush that you will have in front of your audience may make you want to speak much too quickly. And have a confident smile on your face. If by chance, you forget your speech, then simply say thank you and leave the stage. Your audience will find you much more easy to relate to, and you won't lose their confidence in your knowledge of your subject. Never leave the stage if something goes wrong, even if you feel embarrassed. Make a joke if you can, shake it off, and move forward. Ask questions. As well have them ask you questions, so you can touch up on some points that you overlooked and/or left out,)before leaving the podium at the end of your speech. Acknowledge your audience with a smile, a brief nod or a slight bow, if appropriate. Be sure to build time for any Q and A into your allotted presentation time. That way, you can control the flow of the Q and A. Then, after the last question, let your audience know, "I'd like to share one final thought with you," and deliver a powerful closer.

TL;DR in English: Look around the audience. Speak slowly and try to breathe normally. Laugh at yourself if something goes wrong. Give your audience a chance to interact with you.

Use an actual fishing hook, such as a barbed hook, or improvise a hook out of whatever you have available. Tie it to a piece of fishing line or to an improvised line.  You can improvise a hook from many things such as paper clips, safety pins, sewing needles, and even soda can tabs. If you don’t have any actual fishing line, you can use thread from clothing, shoelaces, and vines or other sinewy plant material. Hook the bait or tie the lure onto the line. Use live bait, a store-bought bait or lure, or an improvised lure, depending on what you have available and what you want to catch.  You can use live bait you find in the wild such as worms, minnows, and insects. To improvise a lure, you can use shiny metals or even colorful pieces of cloth. For example, worms work well for catching medium-large fish, such as bass, walleye, and trout. Powerbait is a store-bought alternative to worms for catching the same types of fish. Insects work well for catching smaller fish. Stand on the shore, on the edge of a dock, or sit near the side of a boat. Cast the line out far enough that it won’t tangle on anything and let it sink and dangle in the water.  Now you can either wait until you get a bite or slowly pull the line back in and repeat the process to try and attract fish. You might want to wear gloves to protect your hands from getting cut by the line. Give the line a sharp tug as soon as you feel a bite. This will hook the fish, then you can pull it in to you.  Don’t ever wrap the line around your hand or any part of yourself. A big fish could cause the line to give you a nasty cut. To reel the line in, pull it in hand-over-hand. In other words, always hold on to it with 1 hand, then release it with the other hand, and put that hand in front of the hand holding it. Imagine that you are climbing a rope and repeat this process to reel it in. You can spool the line around a thick stick or a can to create an improvised reel and help you reel the line in more easily.

TL;DR in English: Tie any hook you have available onto a piece of fishing line. Bait the hook with your bait of choice or a fishing lure. Drop the line into the water and let it sink. Tug on the line to set the hook when you get a bite, then pull the fish in.

When you’re ready to cut and bake the cookies, start by getting your oven to the proper temperature. Allow it to preheat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 175 degrees Celsius). Make sure to pay attention to your oven. It should beep or an indicator light should illuminate when it reaches the correct temperature. If you try to roll out the dough right after removing it from the fridge, it will be too stiff to work with. Instead, take it out of the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes until it’s warm enough to roll without tearing or cracking. You may find it easier to divide the dough into two sections and work with one at a time so the dough doesn’t get too soft outside the refrigerator. While the dough is warming, prepare your work surface by sprinkling it lightly with flour to keep the dough from sticking to it. Set the dough on the surface, and sprinkle the top of it with a pinch of flour before rolling out it with a rolling pin to a ¼-inch (6.35 mm) thickness. Roll your dough to ⅛-inch (3.17 mm) thickness to end up with crispier cookies. Once the dough is rolled out, use floured cookie cutters to cut the cookies. A traditional gingerbread man shape is most popular for this type of cookie, but you can use any shape that you like. You’ll make approximately 24 cookies, depending on the size of your cookie cutters.  If you don’t have cookie cutters, you can use a glass to cut out round cookies or print out shapes on your computer to create templates that you can place on the dough and cut around with a knife. After cutting out the cookies, transfer them to an ungreased baking sheet. For the best results, use a non-stick cookie sheet. Make sure to place the cookies so they are 1-inch apart to prevent them spreading into one another during baking. If you don’t have a non-stick baking sheet, line yours with a baking mat or parchment paper to make it easier to get the cookies off once they’ve baked.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven. Remove the dough from the refrigerator to warm. Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Use cookie cutters to cut out the cookies. Place the cookies on a baking sheet.

You’ll need to either buy bubble liquid or create your own using dish detergent.  Fill a glass or small jar  with a 1:1 solution of water and dish detergent.  Mix the solution and be sure it is ready before lighting up. It’s also helpful if you have a bubble wand handy. These typically come with bubble liquid. Light your cigarette with a match or lighter. Fill your mouth with smoke, but don't swallow or inhale it. You may need to puff the cigarette a few times to ensure it is fully lit. Place a straw into the liquid bubble solution. Again, the bubble wand creates bubbles easier than a straw. Hold the straw between your lips and slowly blow. Do not release the smoke as one might normally because the smoke will come out too fast and ruin the bubble. A curved bubble should form.

Before you can apply for a Singapore passport, you must have a digital, color photograph of passport-size taken within the past 3 months. ICE has additional technical specifications for the photo available on its Application for Passport On-line Electronic System (APPLES). You can also use a printed passport photo if you prefer to apply for your passport through the mail, or in person at an ICA customer service counter. You can download an application for a passport at https://www.ica.gov.sg/cms/files/forms/IMM%20(E)%2011.pdf, or pick up a paper copy at any of the ICA customer service counters. There are different forms if you are submitting your application through the mail, in person, or online. Make sure you're filling out the correct form. Singapore allows you to submit your application for a passport online, through the mail, or in person. Your application must be accompanied by the S$70 application fee. You can pay your fee using a debit or credit card, or by direct debit from a Singapore bank account. When ICA begins processing your passport application, they issue a pink acknowledgement card and mail it to you. Generally you can expect this card within a week after you submitted your application. This card will include information on when and where you can collect your passport. Keep the card, as you may need to show it when you pick up your passport. This is typically around a month after you submitted your application. When your new passport is ready, go to the ICA building to pick it up in person. You can make an appointment if you want to decrease your wait time. Take with you the pink acknowledgement card, your identity card, and your citizenship certificate. If you don't pick up your new passport within 3 months of the date it is issued, it will be cancelled. Your fees will not be refunded.

TL;DR in English: Have passport photos taken. Complete your application. Submit your completed application and photos. Receive your acknowledgement card. Collect your new passport.

Your primary care provider is an excellent resource to help you stay positive after an HIV diagnosis. They can help you manage and treat your disease, as well as offer strategies and suggestions for coping with the diagnosis. Your healthcare provider can also refer you to other services to help you manage your HIV diagnosis.  Take the list of questions provided by the US Department of Veterans Affairs http://www.hiv.va.gov/patient/diagnosis/questions-for-doctor.asp to your next doctor’s appointment. Have a trusted friend or family member accompany you to help you take notes and remember things. Ask your primary care provider about resources in your community for people who have HIV. You might say, “Could you tell me about the support available for managing my HIV?” While your primary care physician can help you maintain your health in general,  you will need to also have an HIV specialist on your support team, as well. Your specialist can work with you to specifically manage and treat your HIV.  Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention webpage https://www.cdc.gov/actagainstaids/campaigns/hivtreatmentworks/getincare/findcare.html for information on locating an HIV specialist. You can also check either The American Academy of HIV Medicine or the HIV Medicine Association at https://www.hivma.org/hivaids-resources/patient-assistance-programs/ to find a specialist. By no means do you need to tell everyone you know about your diagnosis. However, sharing your HIV status with people that you trust and who care about you can help you stay positive. Your family and friends can provide you with encouragement and assistance when you need it. Let them know what’s going on and ask for their support.  Tell them that you need their help staying positive. For example, you could try saying, “I’m going to need your help maintaining a positive attitude after my diagnosis.” Let them know specific ways that they can support you. For instance, you might say, “I could really use your help getting organized. It’ll help...

There are a multitude of personal-finance apps available both for mobile phones and web browsers that offer services to track, tabulate, and analyze your expenses. These apps also offer a range of comprehensiveness, from simply acting as a budget-creation tool to displaying all your assets in one place. In choosing one, keep in mind your financial goals and ability to commit to using the app.  You may want to choose a comprehensive app that pulls in all of your financial information from bank accounts, retirement accounts, and other sources. These often also track your bills and remind you to pay them. Award-winning examples include:  Mint  Personal Capital  Pocket Expense    Alternately, you may want a simpler app that just keep track of your expenses and/or your income. These apps also connect to bank, but offer a simpler interface and fewer options than the more comprehensive apps. Good examples include:  Level Money BillGuard    Finally, if you want to use an app to track your finances, but don't feel comfortable handing over your financial information (bank passwords and account numbers), there are also apps that function as manual-input ledgers and analysis tools. Good examples include:  Mvelopes  You Need a Budget If the app you have chosen requires bank information, input your information and wait for the app to sync with your accounts. Alternately, input your own transaction information as you spend money and watch the app work its magic. The apps will guide you during this process. At regular intervals, the apps will supply you with analyses of your spending habits. Be sure to actually read these reports and think about adjusting your spending habits if necessary. Some apps will provide guidance on how to save money in certain areas.

The hole should be placed 2 inches (5.1 cm) from the top of the wood and 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) from both sides. Use a spade bit, hole saw, or adjustable size hole bit with your drill to create the hole. For best results, drill the hole about 3/4 of the way through, flip the board, and finish the hole by drilling through the reverse side. For western bluebirds or eastern bluebirds, drill a 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) hole. For mountain bluebirds, create a 1.5625 inch (3.969 cm) hole. Use a chisel, nail, or knife to create crisscrossed scratches running from the entrance hole to the bottom on both sides of the front piece. This will give young birds traction to climb to the hole and easily leave the nest. It will also give the mother something to land on. Each side piece's ventilation hole should be 1 in (2.5 cm) down from the top of the wood and 2 in (5.1 cm) from both sides. Attach a 5⁄8 in (1.6 cm) drill bit to your drill and apply downward pressure while pressing the trigger.  Mark off the ventilation hole locations using a ruler and pencil. Hold the drill perpendicular to the wood as you create the holes. Apply a thin strip of glue vertically along the leftmost and rightmost sides of the back piece. Start from the top of the back piece and make the strips 12.25 inches (31.1 cm) long from top to bottom. Now, press the 12.25 inch (31.1 cm) end of each side piece onto the glue strips and hold them in place for 2 to 3 minutes. Each side piece should align as closely as possible to the top of the back piece. Be sure that the side pieces are perfectly perpendicular to the back piece before holding them in place onto the glue. Drill four 2 inch (5.1 cm) holes with a twist bit horizontally through the back piece and into the side pieces. Each hole should go through the top-most and bottom-most part of each piece. Now, drive 4 exterior grade 2 inch (5.1 cm) screws through the holes.  Place the sides onto a flat surface when attaching the screws. Hold each screw perpendicular to the wood and firmly but carefully drive them into...

Practice about 60 minutes daily.Practice all the basic volleyball moves before the try-outs. Practice setting, spiking, bumping, blocking, and serving. Practice by yourself as well as with others. Set/bump against the wall, practice your serves, and jump rope. Jog daily, but not for too long, because long distance running damages your vertical jump. These will help your serves and hits. If you are strong, the coach will probably accept you on the team. This will give you a lot skills without the pressured level of expectation. Plus, you'll have a ton of fun. If the coach is expecting everyone to get their serves over, you had better work on serving. Almost all coaches will want to see how good you are at the fundamental skills. Try to show the coach these fundamentals in try-outs.

Place an ice cube in the palm of your hand, the crook of your elbow, or where you want to cut. The numbing cold may provide you with the sensation you are craving. Take an ice pack with you and keep it in an insulated tote so that you can have access to something cold when you need it. Also, consider taking a cup of ice with you wherever you go. Keep it in your desk, car, locker, or any place to which you have easy access. Use a felt-tip pen to create pictures or lines on yourself where you usually cut. You may find that you like the way it feels against your skin. You may also discover that creating beautiful designs on yourself is far more satisfying than making painful cuts. Only use soft-tipped pens or markers to draw on yourself. Using pens that feature sharp points may end up hurting you. Use temporary tattoos if you don't trust yourself to use a pen on your skin. Those who cut are often looking for a way to feel something, even if it is painful. Snapping your skin with a rubber band is a safer way than cutting to feel a strong sensation. Place the rubber band around your wrist, hold it up, and let if fall back sharply. Never snap your wrists until they bleed. Only engage in this act if you trust yourself to not go too far. Ask someone you trust to help you monitor this behavior to ensure that you are not injuring yourself with this technique. Paying attention to the area you typically cut may be all that you need when you feel the desire to self-harm. Wrap these areas in bandages or adhesive tape. Seeing them will serve as a reminder of what is to come if you give into your urge. Draw motivational words or phrases on the bandages to stop yourself from wanting to cut. You could also color them with a red pen or marker to look like blood, which may stop you from wanting to hurt yourself. The saying “beauty hurts” is popular because it is often true: some beauty techniques are downright painful. Engage in them to satisfy the pain you crave, without doing real harm.

You know what can blow money all around a room and keep it flowing way more effectively than your own bare hands? A giant fan. Set it on a high level with enough room in front of it to add your stacks o' cash. Turn it to the on position when it's not plugged in. That way, when you go to plug it in, you're in front of it when it turns on, ready to get rained on and rained on and rained on as your dead presidents swirl through the air. Sure, you could make it rain by yourself. You could run around your room, spreading the dough, raining on your bed as part of your nighttime routine, and then go to sleep comfortably on your piles and piles of simoleons. Or -- OR -- you could take your stacks and liven up any party, a coffee date with a friend, or dinnertime with your parents. Think of the endless possibilities! You'll probably want to coordinate together beforehand. Springing it on them could result in them diving for your cash or thinking you're a money-grubbing materialist. And who knows? Maybe they'll want to make it rain with you -- talk about a flood of money! Go big or go home, right? If you're gonna make it rain, might as well make it rain. If a helicopter isn't readily available, find a high point you can drop it from. The rooftop, the Eiffel Tower, a mountain -- just be ready to make the news! For the record, with this, you won't be getting your bucks back. The wind can be a cruel, cruel mistress. Who says you have to make it rain in the comfort of your own home or outside in nature? Walk into your local Starbucks and get to precipitating! Or skip the Starbucks where everyone can afford $4 lattes and make it rain at your local homeless shelter or, well, Walmart. What better way to get active in your community? And then watch as people look around at each other, wondering who's going to make the first pounce. How long do you think it'll take? At first everyone will be convinced it's fake -- what happens when the first person realizes that you're making it rain certifiable ducats? ..Or just pick it back...

This step is also called packing the jars. Foods are said to be "hot-packed" or "cold-packed" depending on whether they are cooked and packed into jars hot or simply cut up and packed into jars cold. This difference may affect your cooking time for the same food, so be sure to read the recipe carefully.  A canning funnel will make the job easier, especially for small pieces and liquid or semi-liquid foods. For items in individual pieces, such as string beans, arrange them in the jar. Do this as neatly as you wish. If you'll be showing the jars in a fair, you may wish to pack very neatly. On the other hand, if you'll just dump them in soup someday, it may not be worth the bother to line them all up perfectly. The head space is necessary The head space varies between about an eighth of an inch (3mm) and an inch (25mm) depending on the food, so check instructions specific to whatever you are canning. Preservatives used in home canning include sugar, salt, and acids such as lemon juice and ascorbic acid (better known as Vitamin C) sold in powder form with other canning supplies. Add the preservative before adding the liquid, so that pouring the liquid over it mixes it in. Leave a ½-inch of space at the top of the jar. When you pour liquid over loose pieces, you'll leave air bubbles. Remove them by running a long, plastic knife (also available with canning supplies) down along the sides and jiggling or gently pressing the food. Make especially sure to clean the top surface where the seal will sit. A magnetic lid wand will help you get them safely out of the boiling water. To release the seal, set it on a jar and tilt the wand. If you don't have a lid wand, you can use a small pair of tongs. Just don't touch the lids with your hands. Don't tighten so much that you press all the seal material off of the rim.

TL;DR in English: Fill the jars. Leave a little bit of space at the top, called "head space". Add preservatives according to the recipe. Pour the syrup or preserving liquid into the jar. Remove air bubbles. Wipe the rims and threads of the jars with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue or drips. Place a softened seal on each jar. Screw a clean ring down over the seal and tighten it with snug hand pressure.

Although exercise doesn't cause weight loss by itself, including regular physical activity will help support your weight loss efforts.  Aim to be active for at least 150 minutes each week.  Aerobic activities can include exercises like:  dance classes, hiking, jogging, or biking. Be wary of the calorie estimates on cardio machines.  The numbers listed aren't necessarily accurate for your height, weight, or gender. Resistance training is a great compliment to cardiovascular activity and your weight loss.  As you build more muscle mass, you will increase your metabolism and burn more calories overall.  It's recommended to include two days of strength training each week.  Strength training includes activities like:  weight lifting, Pilates, or isometric exercises like push-ups or crunches. Scheduling a session or two with a personal trainer might be a good idea.  This is especially true if you're unfamiliar with some exercises or want to find an exercise routine that will support your new weight loss plan.  A personal trainer can assist you in creating an exercise plan that is progressive, periodized, and appropriate for your abilities/goals. Many gyms offer a free or discounted personal training session when you join or as part of your membership. A personal training session might be costly, but you may only need one or two sessions to learn a routine or learn how to use the machines.

TL;DR in English: Include cardio exercises weekly. Participate in strength training. Sign up for a session with a personal trainer.

Extracurricular activities are a great place to meet people with similar interests.  Join as many clubs as you can, but make sure to only participate in those that you have a real interest in.  If you are out of school already, look at your local newspaper(s) or weekly periodicals to find clubs in your town you might like to join.     If you take a foreign language, join the French, Spanish or German clubs.  You will not only meet new friends, but have people to practice your language skills with! Try out band.  School bands are pretty large, offering a wide base of potential friends, and there are so many different instruments you are bound to find one you enjoy playing. If you like to sing, join the glee club or show choir. Do you like to convince others of your opinions?  Try out the debate club.  Not only will you meet people at your school, but also can attend debate competitions and meet kids from other schools like yourself. For adults, your city no doubt has dance troupes, singing groups, bands that need new members, and other opportunities for meeting new people in your area. Like some school academic teams, sports teams play other schools and thus give you a chance to travel outside your city and meet kids from other areas with like interests.  Team members also practice together a few times a week, usually, and this is ample time to develop strong bonds with your teammates.  Try out soccer, baseball or tennis teams at your school.  If your school doesn’t have the sport you most enjoy, look for neighborhood leagues. Most cities have local groups that meet to practice and play more casual sports, like Ultimate Frisbee or volleyball. Look in the local paper, city website, or do a web search on a particular sport in your city. If you are a woman, you might look for roller derby teams in your city.  This is a contact sport, so is not for the timid.  It also can be pricey to join, but is lots of fun and will introduce you to a whole group of new women. Go to the local rock climbing gym or trapeze club. ...

TL;DR in English:


Go easy on the conversation. Don’t make it awkward. Keep a friendly contact. Never take sides.

If you're hoping to increase your testosterone levels, diet isn't the only thing to consider. Exercise is an equally important part of increasing testosterone levels, which is why you should come up with an effective, yet sustainable fitness plan designed to maximize testosterone production.  Specific types of exercise, such as weightlifting, actually cause the body to produce more testosterone. Exercising decreases your chances of being overweight and, as discussed above, being overweight can negatively impact testosterone levels.  If you're not sure where to begin, it may be a good idea to enlist the services of a personal trainer who can develop an exercise plan specifically tailored to your current fitness level, along with your desired outcome. If you want to boost testosterone, you should begin to lift weights, as weight-lifting is the most effective form of exercise for increasing testosterone production. However, for best results, you will need to lift heavier weights with fewer repetitions, and it's probably best to avoid the weight machines altogether. Stick with free weights and follow the advice below:   Lift large muscle groups. Studies show that lifting larger muscle groups, which require complex, compound movements, is much more effective for producing testosterone than working just one or two smaller muscles. For this reason, you should stick with weight exercises such as bench presses, squats, deadlifts, and shoulder presses.  Try to work out with high volume. The type of exercises you perform will mean nothing if you don't have enough volume. You should be doing at least 3 to 4 sets of each compound exercise, using a weight you can only lift 5 times per set. The volume of your workout is determined by this formula: reps x sets x weight = volume. However, when it comes down to a choice between more repetitions or more sets, you should choose more sets every time.  Focus on high intensity. Push yourself hard in the gym - only by pushing yourself to your physical limit will you maximize your...

TL;DR in English: Develop an exercise plan and stick to it. Start lifting weights. Try high intensity interval training. Do some cardio. Allow your body to recover between workouts.

While you may want to pretend it never happened, try to understand the roots of the affair. Ask yourself or your partner, “Why did this happen?”; “What does it say about me/my partner?”; “What was the entry point?”; and “How did it go on?” Bringing up these points with yourself and with your partner can help you better understand the situation and the state of your current relationship. Once you have these discussions, you can start to find the holes in your current relationship and begin patching them together. Instead of waiting for problems to blow up or get out of control, talk about problems when things are going well. If you feel like there are things in the relationship that are going poorly, bring them up before they get out of hand; don’t wait for them to grow worse.  If changes in emotional or physical closeness occur, bring it up. Say, “I feel like we’re spending less time together, and I’m wondering why that may be.” If you notice your partner spending more time at work and giving less attention to the relationship, say something. If you got caught up in something and realized you didn’t have clear boundaries, sit down with your partner and create boundaries together that feel comfortable to both of you. Consider telling your partner what feels like cheating to you, and ask your partner the same question, “What feels like cheating to you?” Consider both physical and emotional aspects of cheating. What kind of touching is too much? What language or communication is excessive? What about if you tell someone else things you don’t tell your partner? Couples counseling can be helpful in bringing the two of you together to discuss openly what problems are occurring in the relationship, and what’s missing that the affair fulfilled. Counseling can help you two move into a place of restored respect and growth. For more information, check out How to Choose a Marriage Counselor.

TL;DR in English: Explore how the affair happened. Confront problems in the relationship. Discuss boundaries with your partner. See a couples counselor.

.  People don't like hit solo songs.  They always want to hear a band they know rocking it out in overproduced style.  This leads into the second point. In order for a song to be a big hit, it is not going to be the first of its kind.  it will be coming out a band with a well-developed, mature style. There are other articles about how to do this.  A song will not be popular unless the band playing the song already is well known.  A hit song will not be possible at least until a band has a sizable, if not national, or even international fan-base. Now it's time for the song to be written. Is it.  Here are some things that will help ensure it is a hit:

TL;DR in English: Start a rock band Cultivate a fresh, yet familiar sound. Watch your band get famous.

You will have to bring out a very small version of your cheat sheet for this to work. Type up a cheat sheet on a computer, using the smallest font possible. Most people can't read smaller than an 8 point font. Then, print out the paper and cut out the section that contains the text.  Roll the cheat sheet tightly enough that you can slip inside your mechanical pencil. When you're struggling during the exam, pretend that you need to reload your pencil with lead. Slip out your cheat sheet and quickly take a look. Be careful. You will have to glance at the sheet quickly. You should also hold your pencil slightly below your desk as you pretend to reload the lead. You do not want your teacher, or anyone else, to see you are using a cheat sheet. You can purchase invisible ink at many department stores, and you can also buy it online. Buy the type of invisible ink that shows up in UV light. You should also buy a keychain flashlight that gives off UV light.  Write your cheat sheet down in invisible ink. Bring it to class the day of the exam. Your teacher will probably not worry about a seemingly blank piece of paper out on your desk. Keep your keychain in your hand during the exam, or set it out on your desk. You can pretend you're fiddling with it out of nerves. When the exam begins, subtly shine your flashlight on the piece of paper when you're stumped. It's a good idea to sit in back, to minimize the risk of getting caught. When you write your cheat sheet, set another piece of paper down below it. Press very hard when you write. The words should be lightly imprinted on the blank sheet of paper. Take it to class on the day of your exam and keep it out on your desk. If your teachers asks, tell her it's scrap paper you intend to use for brainstorming. If you're having trouble reading the words, use your pencil to lightly shade the paper. This should make the words more legible. Type up your cheat sheet using very small font. Usually, size 8 is the smallest font people can read. Print out the cheat sheet, and cut the...

TL;DR in English: Place a tiny cheat sheet inside a mechanical pencil. Use invisible ink. Imprint your cheat sheet onto blank paper. Wrap a tiny cheat sheet into a gum wrapper.

The worst feeling as a third wheel is never knowing how or when to be a part of a conversation between two romantic partners. Sometimes it’ll feel like you’re stuck on somebody’s else date, and maybe you are. So don’t be afraid not to participate when it doesn’t feel right.  Naturally, always speak when spoken to. Don’t be purposefully un-talkative or it might come off as rude. Chime in every once and awhile, especially in conversations the topics of which don’t involve their relationship. If they start talking about future plans, or reminiscing together, feel free to opt out. While it may certainly be an awkward situation for you, nothing will compound the awkwardness worse than acting awkwardly in response. Not butting into conversations that seem personal to the relationship is important here; being comfortable with your single-dom is crucial here as well.  Don’t point it out. You may feel compelled to make light of your situation by addressing it outright: “Feels weird being the only one here without a girlfriend;” “Always awkward being the third wheel, right?” Don’t make it seem any more than a conversation between friends. Let them go on in conversation. Sometimes being around others in a relationship will mean hearing about those relationships, possibly for a long time. Accept the situation and let them talk. It’s better than shifting the impetus of the conversation to yourself. When the couple you’re with is droning on to one another, or friends in relationships are chatting endlessly about fun couples activities, it’ll help to have a friend to text during the boredom. Use them to blow off steam about the awkwardness or poor conversation. If you’re stuck with a couple who has begun a disagreement, things can get uncomfortable fast. Many times couples will want you to weigh in on their squabble; don’t. You’ll only alienate one or the other of the people you’re with. Be upfront about your neutrality.  "Hey, let's not do this now. Try to keep it civil, we're out to have fun!" "I'm not going to be roped...

Prepare to take your temperature. Take your temperature every morning. Make a coverline on your chart or graph. Use your temperatures to understand fertility.

If you believe the package may be suspicious, it is important that you do not shake, open, or empty the contents of the package. You should also avoid carrying the package or showing it to others to examine. If you determine it is suspicious, do not sniff, touch, taste, or look at any of the contents. Let anyone else known in the residence, home, or area, that you believe you have received a suspicious package. Place the package on a stable surface and leave the area. Make sure anyone else in the area also evacuates and do not allow anyone to enter the area with the suspicious package. If you have a ventilation system, like an air conditioner system or a heating system, turn it off so the contents of the package cannot circulate in the area. Give your hands a good wash with soap and water to prevent spreading any potentially dangerous substances to your face or skin. Once law enforcement officials arrive, they will be able to give you additional instructions on dealing with exposure to potentially dangerous substances. If you are at work, contact your supervisor or a security officer. Let them know you believe you have received a suspicious package and that they need to call local law enforcement.  If you are at home, use your cellphone or a neighbor’s phone to call your local law enforcement and report the suspicious package. Try to make a list of the people who were in the room or area where the suspicious package was recognized and anyone who many have handled the suspicious package. You should provide this list to local law enforcement when they arrive on the scene.

TL;DR in English: Do not shake or open the package. Alert others in the area and leave the package on a stable surface. Wash your hands. Call your local law enforcement agency.

It is so easy in today's world to become focused on "me" that we often forget that one of the most rewarding and productive things we can do is to focus on the well-being of others.  When you are helpful to others, even in small, everyday ways, you will find that your overall sense of your own well being will greatly increase and your confidence in the tasks and goals you have before you will be much greater. Greater confidence in yourself and your own abilities results in much higher personal productivity, and, in turn, will help you to become a more serious person. Get involved in local volunteer opportunities. In 2013 alone, over 62 million Americans engaged in some form of volunteer work.   Do you have a soft spot for kids? For old folks? For animals? Maybe you'd like to help maintain trails at a local park, or feed the homeless in a soup kitchen. Volunteer opportunities abound everywhere, especially in urban centers. Even a couple hours a week, or even a month, can help give you a sense of focus and purpose in your life. Volunteering not only makes you feel good about yourself, it connects you with others, increases your social skills, combats depression, and helps keep you healthy. When you do to others as you would have done to yourself, you create a loop of goodwill. This isn't just for morality's sake; the more you show goodwill to others, the more likely they will be to contribute to your own advancement.

TL;DR in English: Be helpful to other human beings. Volunteer. Practice the golden rule.

To begin, you are going to need to weld 4 pieces of U-shaped rebar onto each of your metal pipes (with the pipe fitting in to the “U”). You can weld these yourself, or take them to a shop.  The first piece of rebar should be 4” (10.16cm) from the top of the pipe. The second piece should 4” (10.16cm) below that. The third should be 8” (20.32cm) below. The fourth should be 4” (10.16cm) inches below. Digging the holes can be the most challenging part depending on the material you will be digging into. Each hole needs to be at least 2’ (60.96) deep and 10” (25.4cm) wide. Use a jackhammer to dig one hole for each metal post. If you do not have experience using a jackhammer, it is best to hire someone to help you. Position each of your poles into the holes that have been dug for them. Using a level, try to make sure that your posts are even and uniform with one another. Use your jackhammer to adjust the depth of the holes, if need be. Once your poles are properly positioned, pour enough quick-drying cement to completely fill each hole. Allow 24 hours for the concrete to set. If your holes are filled with water, you will need to use a sub-pump (or simply a bucket) to remove the water before adding concrete.

TL;DR in English: Prepare metal pipes. Dig holes. Set poles. Pour concrete.

Layering is the key to creating great work outfits out of yoga pants. Start with a base layer of a shirt, and then add on a sweater, blazer, or jacket. You can even add a scarf or long socks to your outfit, and don’t forget about the jewelry. For example, a complete outfit might consist of a white blouse, blue sweater, black yoga leggings, black sandals, and a comfortable headband. Cardigans are comfortable and great for layering, making them perfect for wearing with yoga pants. Put on your black yoga pants and wear a white or neutral-colored shirt or blouse. Wear a cardigan in a color that you like, and make sure either the cardigan or the shirt covers your bottom. Wear a neutral-colored blouse with a black cardigan, along with brown bootcut yoga pants and a pair of flats for a professional-looking outfit that's also comfortable. Tunics and button-downs tend to be on the lengthier side, making them great options for wearing with yoga pants or yoga leggings. Wear a tunic or button-down in a shade of blue, gray, or white with your black yoga pants. Accessorize with a scarf or necklace to make your outfit look dressier. A complete outfit might consist of a green cinched button-down, yoga leggings, brown leather boots, and a bulky necklace. Pair your yoga pants or leggings with a blazer or jacket with a shirt underneath. Choose a black blazer to go with your black yoga pants, and wear a white or soft-colored shirt under the blazer. For an edgier look, pair your yoga pants with a leather jacket. Complete the outfit by wearing bold earrings and combat boots.  A pastel-colored, loose shirt under a leather jacket would look great with black yoga pants. Bootcut yoga pants and flared yoga pants are great options for wearing with jackets or blazers. If you’d like to look classy while wearing comfy pants, throw on a pair of black yoga leggings and a shift dress. Choose a dress color or pattern that goes with the season, and pair it with a sweater or belt, if desired. You can also choose to wear a skirt over your yoga...

You'll need the same calendar that you've been using to chart your cervical mucus. While you can use any digital thermometer to take your daily temperature, it's best to use a Basal body thermometer which will give you the highest degree of accuracy. You'll be taking your temperature orally, although rectal temperatures are the most accurate. During your menstrual cycle, your body temperature changes subtly. You should be able to see the temperatures rise by about a degree following ovulation. They'll stay slightly higher until you start menstruating or they'll stay elevated (which can indicate pregnancy). You should take your temperature every morning before getting out of bed, eating, drinking, or using the bathroom. Take your temperature at the same time every morning. If you like, you can set an alarm, take your temperature, and go back to bed. Record your daily temperature on your charting calendar. You can also chart your temperature and cervical mucus on graphs that you can get from your doctor, a woman's health center, and most pharmacies. This will make it easier to see temperature shifts and confirm ovulation. Once you've been charting your temperatures for a while, you should notice that your body temperature usually stays around a certain temperature. You'll need to look for a temperature that is at least 0.2 degrees higher than the previous six days. Of those six days, look for the highest temperature. Draw a horizontal line that is 0.1 degree higher than that temperature to make your coverline. The coverline is simply an easy visual way to glance at your chart and see if you've ovulated and if your temperatures remain high (possibly due to pregnancy). Unlike cervical mucus, you won't be able to use your daily temperature to determine if you're fertile or not. This is because a noticeable temperature shift will happen after changes in fertility have already taken place. While this can be helpful in confirming that ovulation occurred, it makes it almost impossible to rely on temperature changes...
