Let your kids know what mini golf is. Planning your course. Design your course. Choose your type of course. Create your holes. Get the gear. Keep score.

There are three main types of bases: Farming, Trophy, and Hybrid.  A farming base is a type of base mostly active when you farm. The main idea of this base is to leave your town hall away outside your walls. You may lose some trophies. Don't worry, because you will rewarded with a 12 hours shield during which no one can attack your village! You also generally keep your storages and possibly your collectors inside your walls. A trophy base is one in which you put your town hall inside your base, and your trophies are the most important thing to you. It is just the opposite of the farming base. You will risk losing your resources. A hybrid base is one where it defends your trophies and resources equally. Some popular base designs are:  An egg-shell base is where the base is surrounded with multiple walls. For example one core surrounded by walls, with an outer layer of walls surrounding less important buildings. A compartment base is where all of the most important buildings have their own compartment, and less important buildings go outside the base. These form an extra "building wall." A bulkhead base is kind of like the Titanic. The idea is that there is multiple compartments, so if your enemies flood one section, the others will support it. It is sort of a mix between an egg-shell and a compartment base. A modified compartment base is where your compartments hold 2-3 buildings instead of each compartment holding only one.

TL;DR in English: Decide which type of base you want to have. Decide what you want to make your layout.

Not all plants can grow in every region. An area's temperature and climate factor greatly in the plant's chances of success. If you live in a northern region, for example, you'll have trouble growing a plant native to a tropical rainforest. When you pick out seeds to plant, do a little research to make sure the plant species does well in your area.  If you have a greenhouse or plan to grow your plant indoors, you may be able to plant a seed even if the species is not native to your growing region. A good way to figure out what plants grow well in your area is to visit a local nursery and talk with an employee there. He or she will be able to help you pick out hardy seeds that have a great chance of germinating and growing into healthy plants. Some seeds are easy to plant in many growing regions and under a lot of different conditions. Look for "easy seeds," which are hardy and simple to grow for the beginning gardener. In the US, you can look up your USDA hardiness zone. Find a seed that grows well in your zone. The time of year you plant seeds is determined by both the plant's needs and your growing region. If you live in a place with long, cold winters, you may need to wait until mid-Spring to plant your seeds. If you live in a place that warms up early in the year, you can probably start earlier. Check your seed packet for information on how early to start your seeds.  Starting seeds too early or late can prevent germination from occurring, so it's important to figure out the right time to plant to ensure success. If you are starting seeds indoors, you should keep in mind that most vegetable seeds need to be started at least two weeks before the last frost, and some as early as 2-3 months before the last frost. Even if you live in a cold area, you'll need to plan ahead to make sure you start your seeds in time for the growing season. Some seeds should be planted directly in the soil outside. Always research your specific seed and plant to understand how best to start it. Most seeds need similar growing...

TL;DR in English: Select a type of plant that thrives in your growing region. Know what time of year to plant the seed. Get seed-starting supplies.

Bad circulation causes swelling. Therefore, try to stay off your feet if you can. When you lay down, make sure that you lift your feet up. You want your feet to go up as far as you can raise them. You can place a stool under your feet if it will help you keep them up. Foot swelling after a tattoo is caused by your body storing excessive amounts of water. To keep this from happening, you should drink plenty of water. You want to drink enough so that your body will want to expel water instead of retaining it. Of course, you should not place ice directly on your tattoo. The best way to lessen swelling and keep your tattoo dry is to wrap ice in a piece of cloth and place it on your tattoo. Try doing this for thirty minutes to an hour every day you have swelling. You need to maintain proper circulation in order to keep swelling down. Therefore, when you are lying down, try to do some exercises. They don’t need to be intense, just regular. Stretching, for example, would be beneficial. Try lifting your legs and arms at intervals.

TL;DR in English: Elevate your feet. Drink water. Apply ice to swelling or bruising. Exercise.

The ugly duckling method is especially useful for people who have a lot of moles, particularly if some of those moles are benign irregular moles. Because melanomas look different from regular moles, compare all of your moles to each other. Any mole that looks different from the rest is suspicious and needs to be checked.  Consider the size and shape of your moles to see if one is bigger or smaller. The suspicious mole should stand out in appearance from the others. Look at the color of your moles to check for an odd one. For example, if all of your moles are dark brown, but a light brown mole has appeared, then get that one checked out. A suspicious mole may have more than one color and up to three, brown, light brown and purplish. Anytime you get a new mole or lesion, have it checked out. Sometimes a new mole is benign, but it’s also a risk factor for melanomas.  New moles or lesions are more questionable if you don’t have many moles. People with few moles are less likely to develop a new one that is benign. New moles can be more questionable in elderly people. Symptomatic moles have issues that are atypical of normal moles, such as bleeding, itching, or hurting. If you have one mole that starts to show symptoms, make an appointment to get it checked.

TL;DR in English: Check for moles that look different. Notice new moles or lesions. Determine if moles or lesions are symptomatic.

Mini golf is a game where players try to get a ball in a hole in the least number of shots. Mini golf is fun because you can create fun obstacles for your holes. While traditional golf is played with 18 holes, mini golf is played with nine but you can vary how many holes depending on the location. Plan your course based on time and resources. If you have very young children, you can keep the course as simple as possible and use large colourful balls or tennis balls to keep the game easy. You can even just have one hole instead of nine if your kids are toddlers. Let your family help you plan the course to unleash their creativity. Some kids may work on the course for weeks. Older kids enjoy creating complex obstacles to challenge each other. Begin by brainstorming your ideas for each hole. Draw them out on paper or a whiteboard. If you have played mini golf before it's helpful to give examples of holes that you have enjoyed before. Figure out what you can use around the house to simulate similar obstacles.  For example, use containers that your ball can pass through, books to build tunnels, or stuffed animals that the ball needs to move passed. You may use around nine red plastic cups for your holes if you do not have enough containers. You may create a putt-putt zoo if you have many stuffed animals. Use your stuffed animals as obstacles for every hole. If you want to play outdoors, use the driveway for faster play. Play throughout your house if you have adequate space and time.  The putt-putt Zoo is basically a jungle themed course. Use painter's tape to secure your holes down and set them around the room. Place the stuffed animals as both decorations and obstacles for each course. For example, if you have a particularly large stuffed bear you can get players to putt through the bear's legs to get to the hole. You may also have each player make the noise of the animal at the obstacle. This is a great course for very young children. The driveway mini-golf course is great for accuracy as the difficulty...

TL;DR in English:


Check your state’s certification and licensing requirements. Take the online experience training module through the BACB. Pass the BCBA exam. Obtain a license, if required.

Start replacing one or two feedings a day, and work your way to completely stopping.  This is the safest, and most painless way as your body will slowly stop producing milk.  Breasts that are not weaned gradually, but suddenly, can become painful, engorged, and even put mothers at significant risk for developing mastitis.  If you have been pumping and wish to stop, here is a typical schedule that will wean you off your pump slowly but surely: Day 1: pump for 5 minutes every 2-3 hours Day 2: pump for 5 minutes every 4-5 hours Day 3-7: pump just long enough to relieve discomfort This should reduce your discomfort and some swelling. Wear a supportive, but not-too-tight bra. Opt for clothing that is loose and less likely to show milk spots; consider wearing nursing pads to absorb leaking milk. Taking a warm shower, although it inevitably involves some stimulation, may help to relieve pressure in the breast and soothe discomfort. Avoid direct stimulation from the water whenever possible. If you start to become engorged, hand pump just enough to reduce your discomfort. If you become dehydrated, you will actually start producing more milk, and your discomfort will increase. Estrogen injections have fallen out of favor, although they were once used to promote estrogen suppression. Some forms of estrogen injections contain known carcinogens. If you have consistent trouble with lactation suppression, ask your doctor about taking medications like bromocriptine (Parlodel). Doctors usually don't recommend taking Parlodel because of increased likelihood of hypertension, stroke, and heart attack. Hormone levels will change drastically as your milk production slows, which will trigger mood swings.  Many women feel guilty, inadequate and sad.  Getting through these emotions may be the hardest part of the whole process, but having a good support system will help.

TL;DR in English: Wean gradually, whenever possible. Take a pain reliever containing ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Avoid nipple stimulation, as this will trigger milk production. Avoid pumping your milk as it signals to your body that it needs to produce more. Drink lots of water. In severe cases, talk to your doctor about estrogen injections. Prepare emotionally.

Make sure she doesn’t already have a date, first and foremost. Ask her friends if they think she would be interested in going with you if you aren’t sure. Once you’ve decided for sure who you are going to ask, then you can also use her friends as resources to decide how to ask her. Ask them questions about her and run ideas past her to decide how to ask her to prom. Not everyone wants a big, fancy, public promposal. Think about the girl’s personality to decide if you are going to ask her in a romantic, dramatic, creative, funny, or straightforward way. For instance, if she is shy and not super outgoing, you might want to make it a more straightforward promposal. If she’s extremely outgoing and always the center of attention, then you might want to get creative and come up with a big public promposal. She will appreciate that you took the extra time to make it a personalized promposal. Customize your promposal to things she likes or common interests or experiences you have shared.  For example, if she loves cats, then find a way to incorporate a cat theme into the promposal. If you two had a fun experience together, like a summer camping trip where you hit it off, try to include a reference to this when you ask her. Incorporate some romance, such as bringing the girl her favorite flowers or writing her a love poem, into your promposal if love is in the air. Don’t do this if you are just asking a friend or someone who you don’t want a romantic situation with.  This is another situation in which you can ask her friends about things she likes such as her favorite flowers or chocolates. Make sure that the situation is romantic before you decide to ask in a romantic way. You don’t want to cause an awkward situation with a friend or confuse someone you don’t have any romantic feelings for. There is always the possibility that the girl you want to ask doesn’t actually want to go with you. She might not be allowed to or have another commitment. You can make a deal to go with a friend in case you both don’t get dates...

TL;DR in English: Ask her friends to make sure she is available to go with you. Decide how you are going to ask her based on her personality. Personalize your promposal with inside jokes, references, or things she loves. Be romantic if it’s a romantic situation. Have a back up plan in case she says no or can’t go.

Before cleaning your pillow, remove the pillowcase and launder it according to the instructions on the care tag. Most pillowcases can be machine-washed. This way, you'll have a clean case to put on the pillow after washing it. If you have silk pillowcases, hand washing or dry washing is preferable. Read the label before washing them. In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1–2 cups (240–470 mL) of water and a few drops of dish soap. Continue mixing until there is about about 1 in (2.5 cm) of bubbles on top of the water. If you have trouble getting the bubbles to form, add a few more drops of dish soap to the water and continue to agitate it. If the pillow or stain has a strong scent, add 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 mL) of vinegar to the soapy water and stir it vigorously. The vinegar will remove even very strong scents from stains, like wine or oil. If possible, use white vinegar. Other types of vinegar might leave behind a film on top of the pillow. Gather bubbles on a damp cloth or sponge, and rub the pillow lightly until the stain disappears. You may need to reapply the soap a few times before the stain budges. If the stain is disappearing, but there's a shadow left behind on the gel, try applying a drop of dish soap directly onto the pillow and rubbing it into the surface. If you have a more difficult stain, like blood or oil, dip the end of a cotton swab into 3% hydrogen peroxide, which you can get at the grocery store. Then, rub the cotton swab back and forth over the stain until it disappears. After the stain is removed, wipe the pillow with a damp cloth to remove any remaining hydrogen peroxide. Leave the pillow in a well-ventilated area to dry out for at least 2 hours. After 2 hours, touch the pillow to make sure it's completely dry, and then place the pillow in its cover. To speed up the process, you can wipe the surface of the pillow with a dry towel after applying the soap and water.

TL;DR in English: Take off the pillowcase. Mix soap and water until bubbles form on top of the water. Add vinegar to the mixture if your pillow has an unpleasant odor. Use a damp cloth to rub the bubbles on the stain. Use a cotton swab soaked in 3% hydrogen peroxide to remove stubborn stains. Let the pillow dry completely before replacing the cover.

Many video games can take upwards of 100 hours to complete. However, most publications expect a review within 1 week of the game being released. Try to play the video game that you are reviewing for at least 7 hours to get a feel for it. Explore as much of the game as you can in this timeframe. If the game has different levels, try to level up as many times as possible. If the game is an open world, explore as much of it as you can. Your notes will translate directly into what you put in your review. Use a computer or a notebook to write down what you like about the game. Pay attention to playability, sound, graphics, and in-game purchases. Jot down anything that sticks out to you, even if it is small. Details as small as the trees waving in the wind or a character’s headband can help a reader envision the in-game world when they read your review. Not every game is perfect, and your review should focus on the improvements that you think could be made as well as the positives. Take note of what you didn’t love about the game. Maybe the graphics are clunky, or the load times are too long. If anything annoys you even slightly, be sure to write it down. You’ve probably played a lot of video games that could be comparable to the one you are reviewing. Think about games that are in the same genre as the one you are playing. Is it an action-based game? A horror game? A racing one? Then, think about which ones you liked better or worse. Would you play this one more or less than other games? For example, you could say, “This racing game has more car model options, but less customizable pieces than their last release.”

TL;DR in English: Play the game for 7 to 10 hours. Take notes on what you appreciate about the game. Write down what could be improved about the game. Note how the game compares to other games like it.

Make sure your iPad is completely unplugged and press the "Sleep" button on the top of your iPad or turn your iPad off completely. If you have it, remove your iPad Cleaning Cloth from its case. Check your iPad's screen for any debris or large particles. If necessary, use compressed air to blow off any debris to avoid scratching your iPad's screen. Place your iPad Cleaning Cloth on your iPad's screen. Gently rub the iPad Cleaning Cloth in a circular motion until the screen is clean. Inspect for any remaining patches of oil or grime. Repeat after every use or as needed. Avoid using the following items to clean an iPad.

The variety will depend on what you expect from the nasturtium, as well as the space you have available:  Indian Cress - this is a vigorous trailing grower, good for a large garden; it's also known as  the common garden nasturtium. The flowers come in shades of orange, yellow and red and it should flower all summer. This is an ideal plant to train up a trellis or fence. Dwarf nasturtium - a small bush variety, better for a smaller garden space. It has a wide range of flower shades and is easy to control in the garden. Peach Melba - has yellow flowers with orange-red centers, a popular addition to salads. Salmon Baby - has a unique orange-pink hue that looks great in the garden. Nasturtiums are commonly started indoors so they'll begin to flower as soon as possible in the spring, after the last frost has passed. If you want to start your seeds indoors, plan to do so four to six weeks before the last spring frost. To start the seeds indoors,  Plant each seed in a peat pot, which can be transplanted directly to the ground to avoid disturbing the roots. Use seed substrate, rather than potting soil. Keep the seeds in a bright window, and keep the peat moist. Plant the seedlings after the last frost of the spring has passed. Nasturtiums like full sun, but they need to be shielded from midday summer heat. Since they're so low maintenance, nasturtiums are excellent for growing in spots that need covering up or for those stark, unloved parts of your garden.  Nasturtiums don't mind growing in a container; they'll flower just as profusely in a container as in the ground. Hanging baskets are also an ideal choice. Nasturtiums like loose, well-drained soil that retains moisture. They prefer soil that is not rich, so don't use fertilizer. If there is too much fertilizer in the soil, nasturtiums focus on producing more leaves rather than flowers.Avoid any area with heavy, wet clay soil. If you're direct sowing seeds, plant them 10 inches apart and about ½ inch deep. If you're transplanting seedlings, keep them in their peat...

TL;DR in English: Choose a suitable nasturtium variety for your garden. Consider starting the seeds indoors. Select a good planting spot. Prepare the soil. Direct sow or transplant seedlings after the last frost.

Angels are known for their amazing bodies – after all, their work clothes are lingerie- and their diets reflect this. There is no clear diet for an Angel body, but all models stress healthy eating.  For breakfast, eat something high in protein, like Eggs Benedict or oatmeal. For lunch, eat a protein like chicken or fish, with some vegetables and fruit. For dinner, eat sushi and rice. Occasionally treat yourself to carbohydrates and desserts, but eat them in moderation. Eating right is not enough; to have the lean, toned body of an Angel, you’ll also have to make working out a priority. Angels differ in their preferred exercise regimens, but they all have found methods of working out that they really enjoy.  For long, lean muscles, try yoga, pilates and ballet. To burn fat, try biking, running or boxing. Some Angels will cut out alcohol in the month preceding a big show. Reducing alcohol intake is a great way to cut empty calories, and will also go a long way towards improving the quality of your skin.  In addition to cutting out alcohol, make sure to drink water every day. Drinking a half-gallon of water will aid in digestion and help cut tummy bloat.

TL;DR in English: Eat a clean diet. Find a workout that you love. Cut out alcohol.

Wet nail polish is easier to remove while it is wet. The oils in the baby wipe will also help dissolve the nail polish, making it even easier to remove. It is ideal for young children and sensitive areas, such as the face. Dampen the corner of a soft towel with some oil, and gently rub the affected area. The oil should help dissolve the nail polish, and make it come off. Remove any oily residue with some warm water and gentle soap. The oil will also help nourish and soften the skin. Do not use non-acetone nail polish remover on the face. Dampen a cotton ball with some non-acetone nail polish remover and rub the affected area until the polish comes off. Rinse the area with some soap and warm water. Non-acetone nail polish remover is gentler than regular nail polish remover, but it may still leave the skin feeling dry. If this happens, try rubbing some hand lotion or cream over the area once you are done. Sometimes, soaking in water and a little bit of scrubbing with soap and a wash cloth may be all that's needed to loosen up dried nail polish. Be sure to use warm water, soap, and a mildly-abrasive washcloth or sponge. Gently scrub the area until the nail polish peels off. The warm water should also help it come off. Plan on the bath taking 15 to 20 minutes for best results. The nail polish will eventually wear off after a few days. Throughout the day, the skin will come in contact with clothing, toys, pillows, and towels. All of this will create friction, which will be enough to help peel the polish off. Young children may also learn from this experience, and not paint their face with nail polish again.

TL;DR in English: Remove the nail polish while it is still wet using a baby wipe. Try using baby oil, coconut oil, or olive oil on sensitive areas, such as the face. Use non-acetone nail polish remover on hands and feet. Try taking a bath or shower. Let the nail polish wear off on its own.

With so many brands and choices, it is easy to be overwhelmed with selecting a shampoo. When it comes to selecting the best shampoo, decide what your hair needs most. If you dye or add color to your hair, select shampoos that will protect your treatment. Also, most shampoos have extra benefits such as volume and shine. Purchasing multiple shampoos for different benefits is a good idea because most shampoos have a long shelve life. Hair is both young and old, with the younger being closest to the scalp and the natural oils. By lathering from the root to the tip, you help move the oils to the oldest, driest parts of the hair. Doing this will help longer hair stay healthy without worries of dried, split ends. Washing hair boils down to two parts, the lather and the rinse. For the lather, a warm temperature helps ensure the shampoo gets a good lather while rinsing away soap particles. For the final rinse, cool water helps ingredients lock in to your hair.  Avoid using really hot temperatures. Too much hot water can damage hair and dry up your scalp. Rinse out all soap. The amount of shampoo you use is up to you, but do not leave soap in your scalp. Shampoo does only so much for hair. Conditioner helps two fold. It makes hair more manageable, and it helps prevent split ends. Utilize a good conditioner after rinsing out your hair. When showering, leave the conditioner in your hair for a while before rinsing it out, and even then, spend less time rinsing out conditioner than you would shampoo. Figuring out the best conditioner for you can be trial and error. The key to a good conditioner is one that helps you style your hair. After a shower, our hair is at its most vulnerable. Fresh from cleaning, hair can be damaged easily if dried too aggressively. Be sure to damp the scalp and be gentle with the tips. For better drying, try a microfiber towel; it's smoothness and lightweight help ensure gliding through the hair. For another simple trick that is more cost efficient, use a t-shirt. A t-shirt will not have the rough...

TL;DR in English: Select the best shampoo for your hair type. Lather your hair from the root to the tip. Use a good water temperature for washing your hair. Apply conditioner to your hair. Dry your hair well.

Remove any additional external cords and/or electronics that may still be connected to the iPad. The Cleaning Cloth is the black microfiber cloth that came with the iPad packaging. Briskly shake the cloth in the air to remove any loose particles from the microfiber. You don't want to accidentally turn the debris into an abrasive by rubbing it over the screen. Note: if your compressed air produces patches of frozen air, be careful to avoid getting any moisture into one of the iPad's openings, in particular, as well as on the screen itself. If you don't have the Cleaning Cloth that came with the iPad, you can also use:  Any microfiber cloth Any lens cloth you might use on your glasses Any soft, lint-free cloth Do not use: cloths, towels, paper towels, or any similar items on your iPad. These damage the screen of the iPad.  You will see that with just a few circular strokes, your iPad will be shining like new! This will help to keep your iPad clean and clear of fingerprints and smudges. iPads have an oleophobic coating on the screen, which is sensitive and only requires a fine cloth to clean. The following items will damage the oleophobic coating if used to clean the iPad:  Window or household cleaners Aerosol sprays Solvents Alcohol Ammonia Abrasives

People who are self-absorbed are usually waiting for people to compliment them. If you not only love compliments but live for them, then you may be self-absorbed. It's normal if you take a compliment as an unexpected delight or surprise, but feeling that you’re owed a compliment because you're so great is characteristic of self-absorption. Compliments should be happy “extras” that give you a boost, not expectations. If you have trouble accepting other ways of doing things, you may believe that you are the only one that knows best. Whether you’re planning a project at work or organizing a dance at your school, if you think that you know exactly how to do things and hate it when other people take the reins, then you may need to work on becoming more flexible.  You might hate not being able to take the credit for something or admitting that someone else was right, but doing so can help you become more open. For example, if you find yourself feeling angry, annoyed, or even livid that someone else is trying to do things a different way, even if it’s just a lab partner who has a new idea for a project, your ego may be getting in the way of your progress. People who are self-absorbed may have trouble feeling happy for others who are receiving praise or recognition. If someone in your circle receives praise, whether it’s your sibling getting praise for a good grade or a co-worker for wrapping up an amazing project, then your natural reaction should be to feel happy for the person. If you find yourself feeling jealous, angry, or confused about why you’re not the one getting the credit, then you may need to work on becoming less self-absorbed. If you routinely forget birthdays, high school graduations, promotions, or other important events in your friends' lives, but still expect others to remember personal milestones, then it may be because you’re too focused on yourself. While we all get busy and miss the occasional milestone, consistently forgetting important events of your friends is a sign of self-absorption. Ask...

TL;DR in English: Stop wanting or expecting praise. Be flexible about different ways of doing things. Let go of jealousy over others’ accomplishments. See if you remember birthdays, milestones, or other important events in other people's lives. Develop friendships with a variety of personalities. Be kinder to everyone.

When you light the paper on fire, you want to be in a safe environment with no flammable objects around. This could be a laboratory or a neutral environment like on the pavement of your driveway. Bring the papers that you dried, matches, and a flame-proof container like a baking tray or measuring cup, as well as a fire extinguisher. First make sure that the flash paper is completely dry because the trick won’t work if it is still partially wet. When you have checked that it’s dry, use a pair of heatproof tongs or forceps to hold up the piece of flash paper over the flame-proof container. Light the match, then hold it up to the flash paper. You will see that the paper immediately catches fire, then starts to quickly burn down without producing any ash or residue! After you finish playing with your flash paper, put any additional pieces of paper in a safe location like a drawer or envelope, as they are extremely flammable!

TL;DR in English: Bring the paper to a neutral location. Hold a piece of flash paper up with forceps or tongs. Light the flash paper on fire.

Hold the tip of the left end of the tie with your hand so it’s pulled over the right end. Hold the tip of the right end of the tie with your other hand. The left end should be hanging straight down, with the right end wrapped around it. When you look down, you should see the back of the left end of the tie. Continue to hold both ends with your hands. The left end of the tie should now be looped around the right end. Hold the left end of the tie so it’s pointing down at an angle. The right end of the tie should still be pointing straight down. Bring the tip of the right end through the loop, in front of the top button of your shirt and behind where the right and left end cross at your collar. The back of the left end of the tie should be facing out as you’re pulling it up through the loop. This is the loop you made when you wrapped the left end over, under, then over the right end. Keep pulling until all of the left end is through the loop. Pull down on the left end of the tie as you’re pulling the loop up. If you’re tie feels too tight, pull the loop down a little bit to loosen it. If your tie feels too loose, pull the loop up closer to your collar.

TL;DR in English: Pass the left end of the knit tie over the right end. Wrap the left end of the knit tie under the right end. Bring the left end of the knit tie over the right end again. Pass the left end up through the loop around your collar. Bring the left end down through the loop around the right end. Pull the loop up toward your collar to tighten your tie into place.

Forgiveness is about accepting what has happened and moving forward. It is not a denial of the betrayal or a justification of what the other person did. It does not guarantee that the other person won’t hurt you again, but it can bring you a sense of power and peace.  You can choose not to forgive, but keep in mind that if you dwell on the broken trust, you might experience depression, anxiety, anger, and lack of connection with others.  You can forgive someone without reconciling or staying in the relationship. You can start the process of forgiveness by reflecting on how the experience of broken trust has affected you and your relationship to the other person. You can also reflect on the positive times in your relationship. What do you miss about your relationship and how would you like to get back to that?  If you get stuck: Consider the other person’s perspective and what you would want if you were in their position. Consider other times and experiences in life where your trust was broken or you broke someone’s trust. How were you able to forgive or were others able to forgive you? Consider journaling, talking to a friend or loved one, or talking to a counselor to help guide you. Instead of replaying and reliving the hurt feelings in your head, try to shift your focus to looking for healthy relationships and experiences that bring you happiness, hope, and peace.If you get overwhelmed in feeling the hurt while you’re trying to forgive, try practicing these techniques to ease your stress level:  Deep breathing Meditation Mindfulness exercises Forgiveness is not complete without reflecting on what you’ve learned. Use this experience to set boundaries and expectations in future relationships. Above all, trust yourself. If you’re unable to move on and completely forgive just yet, it might be too difficult to be around the person who broke your trust.

TL;DR in English: Understand what forgiveness is. Begin to forgive. Shift your emotions. Learn and move on.

Once you've received a coded message, write down the very first letter of the encoded word.  From here, write down every other letter you find.  This will help you break the encoded word into its original halves, letting you recreate the original word.  For example, start with the encoded word “sreect”.  The letter “S” would be the first letter to write down. Write down every other letter in the code after “S”.  This would result in “sec”, which is the original first half of the word before it was encoded. After you've written down the first letter of the word and every other letter after it, you can start on the second letter.  Write this second letter down and then write down every letter after it.  This will help you recreate the second half of the original word before it was encoded.  As an example, imagine you are decoding the word “sreect”.  The letter “R” would be your starting point for this step. Write down every other letter after “r” to complete the second half of the original word.  In this case, the result is “ret”. Now that you have the two original halves of the word, you can put them together the recreate the original word.  Take each half of the word and join them together to reveal the original word.  If everything worked out properly, you should now have successfully decoded the word and you will be able to read it normally.  As an example, the original coded word may have been “sreect”. When the original halves of the word were recreated, the result was “sec” and “ret”. These two halves combine to form the original word “secret”. You may have a message that is longer than one word.  To read the entire message, use the decoding technique on each individual word.  Once you decode each word, you will be able to clearly read the complete message.

TL;DR in English: Look at the first letter of the encoded word. Write down the second letter in the word. Recreate the entire word. Finish decoding the message.

. This will help you maintain a healthy diet and have more energy. Fresh, whole foods are a better choice than processed foods because they contain more nutrition and healthy vitamins. Processed foods — such as those found in microwaveable meals, fast food, and prepared foods — are high in calories. They often include preservatives, added sugar, added fat, dyes, and more. Such foods provide little nutrition, which translates to less energy. Whole foods — which are rich in nutrients — provide much more energy to your body. They include fruits, vegetables, unsalted nuts, lean meats, fresh fish or shellfish, eggs, low-fat milk, plain yogurt, and low-fat cheese. . Keep in mind the importance of whole foods and make sure your diet is well-balanced, meaning all food groups are represented. A balanced diet will promote optimum nutrition and help you feel more energetic every day.  Fruits and vegetables should make up half your diet. Eat the amount of grains that corresponds to your age, sex, and level of activity. The USDA MyPlate initiative can help you find the correct amount to eat, half of which should be whole grains.  Eat the amount of protein that corresponds to your age, sex, and level of activity. The USDA MyPlate initiative can also help you with protein.  Dairy is also part of a balanced diet, and MyPlate can help with that as well. Eating too little, or eating too much, can effect your energy levels. Skipping meals or skimping on calories slows your metabolism, as your body is attempting to conserve energy, and may lead you to feel lethargic. On the other hand, overeating (especially refined carbohydrates and sugary snacks) can cause a spike in your blood sugar levels, which will cause a burst of energy, followed by a crash that will leave you feeling tired (and probably cranky). Try eating three meals daily or six small meals, spaced evenly throughout the day.   Avoid binge eating. You may be good at controlling portions; however, if you find yourself suddenly losing control and eating large amounts of...

TL;DR in English: Avoid processed foods Maintain a balanced diet Eat the right amounts and at the right times. Drink water to stay hydrated. Avoid false energy. Consider herbal teas and supplements.

If you're looking to save money on food, check out your local farmer's market. Oftentimes, farmer's markets prices are cheaper for certain items.  Browse a few farmer's markets first to get a sense of the price range. Produce is sometimes more expensive if grown locally or organically, but items like dairy and cheese may be cheaper from a market.  Some local farmers and willing to negotiate discount prices with consumers if you agree to buy consistently every week. You can ask around the market to see which farmers are interested in working with consumers and then strike up a conversation.  Another option is joining a food co-op. This is an autonomous organization in which the members decide which foods to sell, where to get the food, and so on. You can often find seasonal, natural products offered to members at reasonable prices. Most grocery stores offer some kind of loyalty program that grants you access to certain discounts. Sign up for loyalty programs the stores where you most frequently grocery shop.  Some loyalty programs allow you access to both store issued coupons and manufacturer's coupons. This means you can easily double up on savings.  Some stores have in-store discounts only available to loyalty members. You'll want to sign up for a program to get these deals.  Ask cashiers about loyalty programs and how to sign up. Ask if they offer benefits like cash back rewards and whether you can combine member savings with other purchases. Familiarize yourself with the clearance aisle of local supermarkets. Most supermarkets have clearance aisle in the back of the store where discount items are sold. While the clearance aisle may not always offer items you need, it's worth taking a look every time you go shopping in case something you buy normally is on clearance. Most towns have a variety of discount grocery stores that offer lower prices. Find a variety of discount stores in your area and consider making certain purchases there.  Staple items like flour, sugar, and cooking oils can usually be purchased...

TL;DR in English: Try farmer's markets. Become a member at a grocery store. Browse the clearance aisle of a local grocery store. Consider discount grocery stores.

You can use shot glasses, or small paper or plastic cups to pour the mixture into. Usually, you will pour two ounces (60 milliliters) into each cup. You can pour more or less into the cups depending on the size of the cup. Put the molds on a cookie sheet before putting them into the fridge. This will keep them from moving when you transfer them. Allow them to sit in the fridge for two hours. Look at the Jello shots after two hours of being in the fridge. The mixture should have solidified into a gelatinous form by now. If the mixture hasn't solidified, allow the shots to sit in the fridge for up to two more hours.

TL;DR in English: Pour the mixture into cups. Place in the fridge for two hours. Check after two hours.

Keep pipes in cold areas wrapped with "pipe sponge" covers, rags, or other insulating material. If an electrical outlet is nearby, you can keep them wrapped with electrical heat tape, unplugged, then plug the tape in whenever cold weather arrives. Check your crawlspaces and external walls for holes, and repair them to minimize exposure to cold air. Use wind barriers or faucet covers to protect faucets and valves on the exterior of the house. During cold weather, turn on a 60-watt incandescent light bulb near the area of pipe that previously froze, or just below it. If used to warm crawl spaces and other unsupervised areas, make sure there are no flammable materials kept in the same space. It is much more difficult for pipes to freeze if water is running through them since the water will usually travel through the pipe before it has time to freeze. During sub-freezing weather, keep faucets slightly open to allow a trickle of water. You can adjust the ballast in your toilet tank to keep it running even when the tank is full.

Store smaller items in pouches to keep them from getting lost. Put trash items in a small Ziploc and empty it every day. Use a removable purse organizer if you like to switch bags. Use the smallest size purse you can so it’s easy to carry around and keep neat. Wipe down or wash your bag on a weekly basis to keep it clean.

Fatty and spicy foods are more difficult for your body to digest, so they irritate your stomach and cause heartburn easier. Prepare your meals by grilling, searing, or baking them so they’re healthier and less oily. Choose milder spices or simply stick to salt and pepper for a basic seasoning.  If you eat out at restaurants, try to choose baked or grilled options rather than fried foods. Chocolate and peppermint may also trigger heartburn. These foods are alkaline, which means they help counteract acid so it’s not as irritating. Try to have foods like bananas, melons, cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, and cucumber since they’re the most helpful. Eat 1–2 servings of fruits or vegetables with each meal to maintain a healthy diet.  Celery, lettuce, and watermelon can also be helpful since they’re watery and dilute stomach acid. Citrus fruits and tomatoes are acidic, so they may make your heartburn feel worse. Fiber fills up your stomach and makes you feel more so you’re less likely to keep eating. Enjoy foods like whole grains, brown rice, sweet potatoes, peas, and broccoli to get fiber throughout the day. Aim to have between 20–40 grams of fiber daily.  For example, 1 slice of whole wheat bread has about 2 grams of fiber, 1 cup (175 g) of broccoli has about 5 grams, and 1 cup (150 g) of peas has about 9 grams. Gradually increase the amount of fiber in your diet, since too much at once may give you gas, bloating, or cramps. When you prepare meals, only eat the recommended portion listed on the packaging. For example, typical serving sizes are around 2–3 ounces (57–85 g) of meat and about ½ cup (125 g) of vegetables per meal. Only eat enough food to feel satisfied so you don’t feel uncomfortable later on. Store any leftover food for later if you feel full rather than forcing yourself to eat them. If you need to, have 4–5 smaller meals throughout the day rather than a few larger ones. If you still feel hungry, try drinking water since your body may confuse dehydration for hunger. Take smaller bites and set your...

TL;DR in English: Cut greasy and spicy foods out of your diet. Eat fruits, vegetables, and nuts to help neutralize your stomach acid. Incorporate more fiber into your meals to avoid overeating. Reduce your portion sizes so you don’t overeat. Eat slowly to help your body break down food easier. Stop drinking coffee so you have less acid in your stomach. Limit the amount of alcohol you drink.

Write down a detailed account of the rules and regulations of your fictional dystopian world. You can then refer to these notes as you compose the novel. Having a clear set of dos and don’ts will make it easier for you to immerse the reader in the world of the novel. It will also ensure you keep the world consistent and easy to follow. To create the rules, ask yourself:  What are the laws of the world? Is there a legal system, and if so, what does it look like? How are people punished for their actions? Does everyone receive the same punishment for their actions? What is considered taboo in the world? A strong opening line will set the tone for the rest of the novel and draw the reader in. Come up with a first line that is descriptive and unique. It should shock or startle the reader so they pay attention and read on.  For example, you may go for a descriptive, moody opening like the first line of William Gibson’s Neuromancer: “The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.” Or you may go for first lines that gives character and personality like Chuck Palahniuk’s Choke: “If you’re going to read this, don’t bother. After a couple pages, you won’t want to be here. So forget it. Go away. Get out while you’re still in one piece. Save yourself.” Avoid making your dystopian novel just about the dystopian world. Have a protagonist that feels like the center of the story. Show them trying to survive in the dystopia. Make them the guide to the world for the reader. Having a strong main character will help readers feel a personal connection to the story. For example, you may have a main character who is employed by the shadowy government in control in the dystopian world. You may then show the main character struggling to help others overthrow the government. Do not simply let your minor characters feel like stand ins or caricatures. Make your minor characters just as detailed as your main character. Give your minor characters their own dramas, feelings, and conflicts to sort out. Show...

TL;DR in English: Create the rules of the dystopian world. Start with a strong opening. Make the main character central to the story. Have well rounded minor characters. Describe the world with sensory details. Create conflict using the dystopian world.

One simple way to eat less is to begin measuring portion sizes. Sticking to a limited portion can help you eat less.  Consider buying a food scale or measuring cups. Use these daily to measure all meals and snacks or to use during food prep. Typical portion sizes for the five food groups are: 3 – 4 ounces of protein, 1/2 cup of chopped fruit, 1 cup of vegetables, 2 cups of leafy greens, 1/2 cup of grains, and 1 cup of milk and yogurt or 2 oz of cheese.  Serve yourself one portion of protein, 1 – 2 fruits or vegetables and 1 serving of grains at most meals. When you're measuring your portions, it might seem like there is a lot less food on your plate. This might make you feel deprived when you first move to measuring portions.  Using a smaller plate can help you trick your brain into thinking there is a larger volume of food. The same portion will take up more space on a smaller plate. Use salad plates, appetizer plates or even saucers to help cut down on the available space on your plate. Consider purchasing blue plates. Studies have shown that people are more likely to leave food on their plates if their plates were a blue color.  Buy smaller tupperware or take-away containers to pack meals. If you typically pack a meal, make sure to use smaller tupperware as well. When you're eating, try to remove extra temptations from the table. This can help you focus on your meal only and decrease the chance you'll eat more than you should.  Don't bring bowls or platters of food to the table when you're able. This may tempt you to serve yourself seconds.  Try to put all the food in the appropriate containers after serving yourself one portion. Package up leftovers and store in the refrigerator for leftovers. It may also be helpful to only leave out healthier, low-calorie items if you feel you need more food. Keep out vegetables or fruit for a possible second serving. Try to leave some food on your plate, no matter how small, every time you have a meal.  Many of us are brought up not to waste food and habitually finish a...

TL;DR in English: Measure every portion size. Use smaller plates. Remove temptations at meals. Leave food on your plate. Order small portions at restaurants.

When dressing for a long trip, make comfort your number one priority. Dress in soft, loose clothing that will let you stretch and move around easily. Layers will help keep comfortable in any temperature—from hot sun through the window to cold air conditioning inside the bus. You can either get up and walk around to stretch your legs, or stretch every hour or so while sitting. This will help you stay comfortable during the trip and stimulate blood flow. When sitting, stretch your hamstrings by straightening one leg out in front of you while sitting up straight and arching your back. Hold this pose for thirty seconds, then switch legs. Repeat three times for each leg. It can be difficult to fall asleep on a jostling bus, but to help yourself fall asleep more easily, bring some earplugs or headphones as well as an eye mask to block out sound and light. This will help you create the illusion of a quiet, dark environment. You should also bring a travel pillow to support your neck and keep you comfortable as you sleep. If you have difficulty sleeping while traveling, try sleeping aids like lavender essential oil, melatonin, or drowsy-inducing medication. Since the bus driver will probably only stop at gas stores and convenience stations at scheduled points along the trip, make sure to bring your own water bottle and snacks. When packing, look for snacks that will keep your energy up and won’t make a mess.  Fresh fruit, string cheese, and individually wrapped sandwiches are great options, as they’re filling and energizing. Kettle chips will also satisfy any salt cravings and still keep your fingers clean. Avoid bringing nuts in case anyone around you has a nut allergy. You should also avoid anything perishable, like mayonnaise or milk, as well as messy snacks, like Cheetos or anything powder-coated. Bringing your own snacks is especially important for those with specific diets, such as vegans and vegetarians, or dietary restrictions, such as intolerances to gluten or dairy.

TL;DR in English: Wear comfortable, layered clothing. Stretch once in a while to relieve tension and stiffness. Get some sleep. Bring your own water and snacks.

Using small, zippered bags is the fast track to an organized purse! They’re great for storing smaller, easy-to-lose items that are too important not to pack in your purse, like toiletries, makeup, or pens. Pick up a few pouches, choosing different colors so you know what items go where. Even the most organized purse accumulates trash from time to time! To keep wrappers and receipts from dirtying up your main compartment, designate a small Ziploc as your “trash bag.” Fill it up throughout the day and toss the items into the garbage when you get home.  You can also use a small prescription pill bottle to hold trash. Reuse your trash baggie as long as you can, until it gets dirty. A purse organizer is basically a small bag-within-a-bag, complete with helpful compartments, that you slide into your larger bag. It’s a great tool for bags that don’t have their own divided sections, and can also make it easy to switch bags if you like to rotate between a few.  Grab an organizer online or from a department store. Take care of your organizer just as you would your normal purse! Keep it as neat as you can and designate sections to important items to stay organized. You can use whatever size of bag you want, but larger bags do tend to accumulate more clutter than smaller ones. Prioritize the things you really need to carry around with you all the time and leave some of the less necessary items at home when you can. You can also switch between bags when you need to. A small or medium-sized purse might be good for everyday use, but you may want a bigger tote for some special occasions, like a beach trip. Regular maintenance will keep the outside of your bag just as neat and clean as the inside! Try to give your purse a little attention every week to address stains and protect it from ordinary wear and tear.

Once you write out the full footnote once, you don't have to use the full footnote again. For any subsequent time you paraphrase or quote the same work, you can use a shortened form that leaves out the publication information. For a shortened footnote, you don't have to include the author's full name, just their last name. If there's more than one author, only include the first author's name followed by the abbreviation et al.  For example: "Smith," An example with more than one author: "Smith, et al.," For the shortened footnote, you don't have to include the entire title of the work if it's long. Choose 2 or 3 key words from the title that will allow your readers to easily recognize the work.Typically you'll choose the first 2 or 3 words from the title, excluding articles such as "a" or "the."  For example, if the title of the work is "His Name Is My Name," you might shorten the title to "His Name." Include your shortened title in italics after the author's name. For example: "Smith, His Name" If you paraphrased or quoted a specific part of the work you're citing in your text, the shortened footnote ends with the page number where the paraphrased or quoted information appears.  For example: "Smith, His Name, 101." You don't need to repeat the URL if you accessed the work online. End the shortened footnote with a period after the author's name and shortened title. for multiple notes from the same source. In your paper, you may paraphrase or quote the same source several times in a row. You still must place a footnote after each instance where you reference that work.  If you have several footnotes that reference the same source, you can use the abbreviation Ibid. instead of repeating the shortened citation. If the material you're paraphrasing or quoting is found on the same page as the previous footnote, you don't need a page number. However, if it appears on a different page, you should place a comma after the abbreviation "Ibid." and add the page number.

TL;DR in English: Use shortened footnotes after the first reference. Start with the author's last name. Provide a shortened title of the work. Include the relevant page number. Use the abbreviation Ibid.

In the user manual, you'll find a variety of user/installation instructions, including voltage requirements. Reading the user manual will also give you the dimensions of the hole you'll need to cut in which to place your lights. Installing beautiful recessed lighting may be all the rage, but if your circuit is overloaded, what use will they be for you? If you are taking out old fixtures and installing new ones, you can safely add lights that draw as much amperage (or less) as the previous ones. If you want to add more, consult an electrician. For example, if you had 6 fixtures, each with 100 watt lights, your circuit can hold at least 600 watts before hitting capacity. It is a good idea to lock the circuit breaker panel while you work so that no one else can turn on the circuit. Never work with circuits that are energized. Use the manufacturer's template or make your own by cutting out a circle of paper. Place the template against the ceiling in the desired location and trace around it with a pencil, marking the center point as well. If you want to place your lights according to a straight pattern or in a straight line, consider buying or renting a laser level. This will allow you to plot out the holes for the recessed lighting extremely straight. There's nothing wrong with looking more professional. Use a stud sensor or other type of structure sensing device to locate any possible obstacles in the area where you're planning to install.  If you have an attic or crawl space directly above the light fixtures, start by drilling a 1/4 inch (~6 mm) hole through the ceiling at the center point of each circle. Next, go into the attic and visually check for obstructions around each hole; you will need the light fixture to fit between the ceiling joists. If a finished area is above the ceiling, you can check for obstructions with a wire coat hanger. Bend a length of the coat hanger at 90 degrees about 3 inches (~8 cm) in. Insert the bent wire into each hole you drilled, rotating the bent portion around to check for...

TL;DR in English: Read the installation instructions. If possible, consult an electrician to determine how much voltage your circuit can reliably carry. Shut off the power before beginning any work. Mark out the location of each light. Check for obstructions in the ceiling.

Unfortunately, "making it rain money" doesn't mean calling on the rain gods to summon dollar bills from the clouds. You'll need to get your hands on the greenbacks yourself. So find a job, help out your neighbors, and cash those checks. Go to the bank and ask for $1 bills. The more bills you have, the better. You want a veritable downpour, not a drizzle.  While you're at the bank, check to make sure the stacks of $1 bills (or $20s, if that's how you roll) don't stick together. Sometimes fresh bills, all crisp and hot off the presses, adhere to each other. If this is the case, ask for rain-able bills. The teller, if they've any sense, won't ask any questions. You'll be holding the money in your non-dominant hand and making it rain with the other. Make sure you have a firm grasp on the entire stack so none of it gets away from you. Only hold as much money in your palm as you can handle. If it goes too far above your fingertips, things could get unruly (or someone could run off with your cash). Keep the rest of your stacks nearby; any break in the rain and the effect just won't be the same. You know, where you place your four fingertips on top of the top bill and brush it away from you. That "I'll stay" signal sort of a resembles a "no more" hand gesture, but only gesturing forward. Try to go as quickly as possible at a speed you can maintain evenly. Move your hand holding the pile to the left and right, making it rain all around you. Walk around, leaving a trail of rain wherever you go. When Kanye makes it rain, no one bats an eye. If Honey Boo Boo were trying to make it rain, a few eyebrows would be raised (okay, maybe not). But the sentiment remains the same: act like this is just your normal Tuesday afternoon and the ground being rained on by you isn't worthy of your footsteps, much less your cheddar. Need a good starting point? Try wikiHow's How to Think and Act Like a Player (Playa). You want your face to say "I don't give a day-uhm," and simultaneously, "and you're welcome, suckers!"

TL;DR in English: Get some money. Hold the money in one hand in an orderly stacked pile. Peel the money off in a motion that resembles an "I'll stay" signal in blackjack. Maintain a carefree and arrogant countenance while making it rain.

Make multiple passes in different directions over the spackle to create a smooth surface. This will pull the spackle in every direction so the hole is completely and evenly filled.Keep smoothing over the spackle to remove the excess from the wall around the hole.

Write down what you want to tell your friends. Use a positive tone to show that you're proud of who you are. Say only what feels comfortable to you. Practice what you want to say so it’s easier to share with your friends.

Some garters may just slip on. However, most will have a hook and clasp system or Velcro. Wrap it around your waist. Usually the closure goes in the back. Adjust it so it stays up but is comfortable.  Wrap the belt around your waist. It should sit about at your waistline. Attach it at the back by sliding the hooks into the clasps. Choose the line of clasps that is the most comfortable for you. This step is basically like attaching a bra. If you have trouble attaching it in the back, hook it together in the front, and then move it around to the front. Pull up your thigh highs to the right height. Start adjusting the straps to meet the top of your hose.   You'll want your straps to be at slightly different lengths. The ones in the back should be the longest, giving you room to bend over. The straps on the sides should be an inch shorter, and the ones on the front should be two inches shorter than the back, all of which will help you bend easier. It also helps when you sit down. Each clasp consists of a rubber nub and a metal piece that fits over it. To attach it, put the rubber nub underneath the top edge of the stocking. The clasp should reach straight down to the stocking, unless it's sewn on at an angle. It should fall about an inch past the top of the stocking. Slide the metal clasp over the nub. Pull up so the nub slides into place. Repeat with the remaining clasps around the belt.  When you fasten a clasp, push the rubber nub from behind so that you can see it sticking out through the front. However, don't push so hard that you tear a hole in your stockings. The top of each clasp has a wide end and a narrow end at the bottom. Start with the wide end, sliding it over the nub, then pull up so the narrow end is surrounding the nub, holding it in place. Be careful if you have plastic clasps. If you apply too much pressure to a plastic clasp, it will snap in two, and your garter won't be usable. You'll likely need to readjust once you've gotten your stockings settled to make sure they're at the right height....

TL;DR in English: Put the garter on. Put on your pantyhose. Attach the garter clasps to your thigh highs. Readjust as needed. Put on your underwear last.

If you are lonely or have been single for a long time, it might be easy to settle or get desperate for anyone that shows interest. However, this could lead to a disastrous and unsatisfactory relationship. Maintain your personal standards by doing the following:  Look for a partner who will respect you and your interests. Being with someone who does not respect you shows desperation to be with anyone that shows interest. Look for someone you can talk to about your interests and who will not belittle you. Find a partner who enjoys spending time with you. If  you are in a relationship with someone who you only see when it is convenient for them, then you may just be desperate for any company rather than good company. Look for a partner who shares the same values or goals as you. You do not want someone who will disrespect you and your core beliefs. Although it is easy to identify desperate actions when looking for a relationship, desperation can manifest in ongoing relationships. Do not desperately hold onto a relationship that is no longer working. Consider ending a relationship if:  Your significant other is emotionally or physically abusive. This is not only dangerous to your emotional and physical health, but also something you do not have to live with. Your partner does not respect you, your friends, or your family. Do not be desperate to please others in your relationship; do not be desperate to get a guy that your mother would approve of. It is important to be in a relationship for reasons that work for you, not to desperately be in a relationship for the sake of not being single. Your partner is a negative presence in your life. Do not desperately make excuses for your partner in hopes that s/he will change. Supporting your partner is one thing, but making continual excuses is another. This will cultivate a negative body image and negative thoughts. Instead, list what your strengths and what makes you unique.  Identify what aspects of your life you compare yourself with others. Is it your looks? Your...

TL;DR in English: Maintain personal standards. Do not rationalize bad treatment. Stop comparing yourself to others. Surround yourself with positive people.

The hallmark symptom of a middle ear infection is a quick onset of ear pain due to fluid buildup from an inflammatory reaction. The pain will likely make your infant cry "out of the blue" with little warning of discomfort. The pain is usually worse when lying down, particularly when the infected ear is touching the pillow, so difficulty sleeping is to be expected also.  Try to have your infant sleep on his back with the head of the bed propped up so the ear pain is not exacerbated. In addition to crying in response to the pain, your infant may also tug or pull at his ear — so be on the lookout for that as an indicator of discomfort. Aside from crying more, your infant may show other nonverbal signs of discomfort such as being fussy or irritable or showing signs of a cold. This irritable stage usually precedes the crying stage by a few hours and may coincide with waking up early from a nap or not being able to get to sleep to start with. As inflammation builds in the ear, a feeling of pressure or fullness increases, culminating in sharp, throbbing pain. Headaches are also common, which can compound an infant's discomfort and make her pretty unhappy about things — especially since she can't verbally communicate very well.  A middle ear infection is usually preceded by a sore throat, cold, or other upper respiratory issue (allergy). The infection or mucous is then transferred to the middle ear secondarily via the Eustachian tubes, which run from the ears to the back of the throat. Some infants with an ear infection may vomit as well or even have diarrhea. In addition to bacteria, viruses and allergic reactions to food (milk) and environmental triggers can also lead to infections that eventually spread to the middle ear. As the middle ear fills up with fluid and/or mucous, the ability to transmit sound is hampered. As a result, watch for signs of poor hearing, not being attentive, or not responding to loud sounds. Call your infant's name or clap your hands and see if he looks at you. If he doesn't, that could be...

TL;DR in English: Be on the lookout for sudden ear pain. Be suspicious if your baby is more irritable than usual. Watch out for poor hearing or response to sounds. Check for a fever.

Instead of waiting for others to make decisions, make those decisions yourself. Toss aside your hesitation and be straightforward about your demands and desires, thereby setting the pace of each interaction. Instead of asking permission to do something, state your plans without asking for confirmation. Even if things would end up the same way regardless of whether you made the first move, stating your expectations first will allow you to claim the more powerful position in the interaction. To demand respect, you need to be willing to give it. The other party's time is just as valuable as yours, and you need to demonstrate your understanding of that key fact. Stick to the golden rule: treat others as you would like to be treated. You wouldn't like it if someone was running late to a meeting and didn't warn you in advance, nor would you like it if you did someone a favor and he or she didn't offer so much as a single “thank you.” If someone who demonstrates this sort of behavior would lose your confidence, you'll probably lose someone else's confidence if you act like this. Good communication is absolutely essential if you want to become powerful. Don't put people in the position of having to guess or worry about what will happen. Instead, provide them with all the details you would want to know if your positions were reversed. For instance, if you're researching something for someone and have told him or her that you expect to have an answer by Tuesday afternoon, you need to contact that person by or before Tuesday afternoon. Even if you don't have the answer, you need to drop that person a line and let him or her know that you haven't forgotten and still intend to follow through. Good communication leaves little room for error or misunderstanding. When you explain something, do so in the least confusing way possible. Make sure that all of the important details are ironed out before dropping the matter.  Detailed communication is important if you want to avoid later mishaps and meltdowns. Everyone needs to be...

TL;DR in English: Set expectations. Treat people with professional courtesy. Keep people informed. Be clear. Anticipate needs and demands. Engage yourself. Work well with others. Network effectively. Show anger when appropriate. Don't be afraid of making enemies.

Think about everything you’d like to say, then jot down the ideas that seem most important to you. Pour out your heart and say how you feel about your friends. Then, revise what you’ve written so that it’s clear and concise. You might write something like, “Lately, I’ve been dealing with a lot of conflict inside myself, but recently I realized something really important. You’re one of my closest friends, so I want to be my true self around you. I hope that you’ll accept me for who I am. I’m gay, and I’m ready to live my life out and proud.” Your sexuality or gender identity is part of you, so you have every right to be excited and proud to share it with people. Don't let worries about how people will react make you feel ashamed or like you're holding in a secret. As you plan what you want to say, keep your tone positive and celebratory. For instance, use an upbeat tone of voice while you're speaking. Additionally, focus on how you're sharing your truth rather than thinking of this as a dark secret. You are totally in control of what you say during your coming out. Don’t feel pressured to provide personal details or to explain yourself. Decide what you’re comfortable sharing, and stick to that. You don't need to provide "proof" of your sexuality or gender identity. Similarly, you don't need to explain how you realized your identity unless you want to do so. What you share is totally up to you. State what you want to say aloud so you can hear how it sounds. You might also sit in front of a mirror so you can practice telling it to someone else. Keep practicing until you feel comfortable with what you want to say.  If something feels wrong, don’t be afraid to change it. If you’re already out to a family member or best friend, ask them to help you practice. For instance, you might tell them what you plan to say and get their feedback.

TL;DR in English:


Brainstorm your ideas. Take action on your ideas. Take a break from your project if you feel stuck. Notice what you like in others' works. Collaborate your ideas with others. Work with an experienced mentor.

There are many benefits that you can include in your compensation plan in addition to bonuses and other merit-based incentives. Examples include required benefits, like worker's compensation and health insurance, along with optional benefits, like various other types of insurance (health, life, or disability), vacation time, sick days, and stock options. Again, study which benefits are commonly offered to this type of employee in your industry. Revise benefit offerings according to your company goals. For example, a company with great benefits like paid time off, long maternity leave, and good stock options might help a company retain employees more easily. Include both short and long term options in your compensation plan. Ideally, your plan should have benefits that reward employees in the short run, such as bonuses and commissions. It should also have long term benefits, such as healthy retirement plans. Provide a health plan and possibly a dental plan, if it's in the budget. You may also want to include a flexible spending benefit.  Consider opportunities to excel with tuition reimbursement or promotions and pay raises. Provide family orientated benefits, such as an onsite childcare or daycare reimbursement. If your business does not do well or temporarily goes through hard times, you will likely have to pull expenses from your benefits, and this may cause resentment among your staff. It is always easier to add a benefit then take one away. So be realistic when designing your benefits offerings. You can always increase benefits over time to reward loyal employees. You may want to involve your lawyer to ensure that nothing is left vague. When hiring new employees, you may want to go over your benefits plan so that if there are any questions, the new employee can have you address them immediately. The same is true for all incentive plans. These must be clearly stated in writing.

TL;DR in English: Research the options. Offer a compensation plan that includes a mix of benefits. Only include benefits you can afford. Be clear when putting your benefits plan into your company policy book.

Almost every outdoor store will have these in the camping section. They are small, cheap sets that contain glue, sandpaper, and patches for tents, bike tires, and air mattresses. If you are in a pinch and the hole is small, a tire patch made for cycling should work fine.  Some companies have dedicated air mattress repair kits that you can find online, such as the Thermarest Repair Kit, Tear-Aid, and the Sevylor Repair Patch. Make sure that the patch kit works on plastic or vinyl. You don’t want any air getting under your patch and ruining the glue, so let all the air out the mattress before continuing. If your hole is on the top side of the mattress you’ll need to remove the soft covering to make the patch stick. Take a wire brush or some sandpaper and lightly remove the felt coating until you only have plastic surrounding your leak. Some mattress makers refer to this soft coating as “flocking.” Using soapy water or a little isopropyl alcohol, clean off the leaky area so that there is no dust, dirt, or debris surrounding the hole. Dry it completely before continuing. You want ample room to cover the leak, so cut your patch so it fits over the hole with a centimeter or more of the patch around every side. If your patches are pre-cut, use one that offers 1-2 centimeters of space around the hole itself. All patches function in one of two ways: they are simply applied like stickers, or you must apply special glue and then attach the patch. Either way, follow the instructions and apply your patch smoothly. Don’t remove it to get it “perfect.” As long as it covers the leak entirely it will work, and taking it off and reapplying it will make it less sticky. Once your patch is on, apply pressure to it for 30 seconds or more to make sure it is firmly attached. Use the heel of your hand to press down on the patch, or use a rolling pin to strongly flatten the patch against the mattress. It can help to lay a heavy, flat object on top of the patch to keep the pressure on it. Do not try to inflate your mattress until the...

TL;DR in English: Buy a patch kit. Completely deflate the mattress. Sand away any soft felt near your hole. Clean and dry the area around your leak. Cut out a patch roughly one and a half times bigger than your hole. Apply the patch according to the manufacturer’s directions. Press down on the patch with firm, even pressure. Let the glue dry on the patch for 2-3 hours. Inflate the mattress and check for leaks.

Maybe your company recently expanded its global operations. You might suddenly find yourself working closely with team members from other cultures. Take some time to work on making these relationships stronger.  Spend time learning about other cultures. For example, if you are going to be working closely with your Japan office, study up on Japanese work etiquette. Ask your Human Resources department if they have any resources available. They might be able to direct you towards a helpful website. Head to the local library. The resource librarian can direct you towards references that can give you a solid overview of the culture you're learning about. Don't go into this situation afraid to make errors. If you're overly anxious, you might not speak up and share your ideas. You also won't be able to connect with your new co-workers or clients.  Just know that mistakes might happen. You might accidentally try to eat your food incorrectly at a client lunch, for example. Laugh it off and apologize. These things happen when you are learning new cultural norms. Say a sincere, "I apologize." Then remember your mistake and don't make the same one twice. Some of your current colleagues might be uncomfortable working with people from different cultures. That can cause unease and stress in the workplace. Build good relationships with people and learn to be an ally for those from other cultures.  One of the most effective ways to be an ally is to show that discrimination will not be tolerated. Stand up for people if someone is saying or doing something offensive. For example, maybe one of your co-workers makes an offensive comment about the way your new clients from the Middle East dress. Make it clear that that sort of talk is not acceptable. You can say something like, "You know, just because these people dress differently, that doesn't make them wrong or somehow less than us. Let's be respectful, ok?" When you take time to get to know someone, you can find new ways to strengthen your work relationship. Put some effort...

TL;DR in English: Research different cultures. Be willing to make mistakes. Learn to be an ally. Get to know individuals. Make an effort.

Think about what you’re really trying to say in your paper. What is the main goal of your paper? What are you trying to prove? Brainstorm ideas for how you want your paper to go if you haven’t already. The outline of your paper, or your paper itself if you have already written it, will help you determine what kind of hook you should use. Write the second part of your introduction—the information that will go after the hook—so you know what it will say. Put in details for each paragraph, including your conclusion. The thesis is the specific thing that you are conveying to your reader; all other aspects of your paper will work to prove your thesis. What’s the main idea of your paper? Maybe you’re looking at how cat behavior affects other cats. Or maybe you’re writing on a scientific topic, such as how certain bacteria react in alcohol. Whatever your topic is, you will have to have a thesis. Make sure the hook leads into your introduction and your paper. That is, make sure your hook is relevant to your thesis, and to your paper as a whole. In particular, keep the tone of your paper in mind; a serious paper should not begin with a joke. You’ll confuse your readers by leading with something that doesn’t relate to your paper. For example, if you start with a joke about married penguins but your paper is about the Civil War, the joke is not likely relevant and will just confuse or annoy the reader. You also want to make sure your hook is tailored to your audience, as well as your paper. Think about who will be reading your paper. What would draw them into the paper and make them interested in your topic?  If your audience is a professor, maybe the hook could be an interesting fact. If your audience is your classmates, maybe the hook could be funny joke that relates to your paper. You don’t want to just place a hook at the beginning without any connection to your paper. The hook should smoothly transition into the rest of your introduction. For instance, if you were writing about the American Civil War, and...

TL;DR in English: Outline what you want your paper to say before writing your hook. Highlight your thesis. Use your main ideas and thesis to write your hook. Keep your audience in mind. Transition smoothly from your hook to your introduction.

Set aside some time just to generate ideas. Think of a goal or a problem, then begin to think of solutions. Let your mind express any and all ideas, even if you initially think they are good or bad. Write down your ideas and allow them to evolve. Give yourself a time limit so that you can come up with as many ideas as you can within that time. Afterward, go through and pick out your best ideas and work with them. It’s not enough just to have great ideas, you must act on them. People might respect that you’re a creative thinker, but what matters is what you do with your ideas. The action on your ideas is how you will be known or remembered.  Write down all of your ideas and weed out the ones that aren’t realistic. Find ways to express the ones that you can create! For example, if you have an idea for an original dinner recipe, play around with some ingredients until the dish tastes like perfection. Have you noticed that lots of creative people tend to procrastinate? Sometimes, procrastination can help you be more creative. Taking a break from your work (but keeping it in the back of your mind) can help you approach it differently and try new things. So, if you’re stuck on something, give yourself a break and come back to it later. Something new might hit you. For example, if you’re writing a play and want to make it original, take a break from it (for days, weeks, or even months) and see what you come up with. Original artistic works, fashion statements, or opinions don't arise out of nothing. They are built on a framework of ideas, writings, paintings and outfits from people who came before them. They look at the world in a different way. Notice what you like or appreciate, then brainstorm ways to build off of it. Taking something and putting your own twist on it is one way to make original art. For example, write a fairytale story, but make it about animals or make the setting in outer space. Working jointly with others can help unlock your creativity and help you create something truly unique together....

TL;DR in English:


Understand the assignment. Determine what you hope to learn. Brainstorm ideas.

At the company you work for, you will have a specific job role and this is how you make the company money. If you can't do your job well, you will lose customers and you may become a liability, meaning that you lose the company money. To ensure you do your job well, you must learn how to do it to the company's standards. Learn from other employees, get a mentor, enroll in training courses and be eager to learn as much as you can. The results you get at work are ultimately what you will be judged on.  This is the most important part. The whole reason the company employs you is to perform in this job role. Do it correctly and do it well. Self-improvement and networking are important, but if your performance slips because of them, you won't be doing yourself any favors.  Think about the company's return on investment (ROI) on you. How much money are you making for them in relation to your salary? Doing so will help frame your contributions and help you find ways to increase your measurable value. Organize your tasks from most critical to least. When you've determined the most important 20 percent of your tasks, mark them separately from the rest. Spend the majority of your time and effort working on these, leaving the others to be completed quickly when you need to. This will allow you to do your best work on the most important tasks, rather than spreading yourself thin over both critical and non-critical tasks. Valuable employees don't stop working when the clock strikes five o'clock. If you have work to do on a project, stay later and get what you can done after hours. When you go home, bring your work with you and get it done around family time. Always be ready to respond to after-hours emails as well. This extra effort will get you noticed as a hard worker.  Understand that this work is not overtime, which requires additional pay, but simply additional work with no expectation of additional pay. Going the extra mile should also apply to the quality of your work. Some people do a good job and leave it there,...

TL;DR in English: Exceed expectations. Prioritize tasks. Go the extra mile. Become a self-starter. Be responsible.

Children (as well as adults) learn in many different ways: there are visual learners (people who learn best seeing things written down or with pictures and diagrams), auditory learners (people who learn best by hearing people talk), and kinesthetic learners (people who learn best through movement and by doing a task). There are also people who have strengths in spatial concepts, music, and interpersonal skills.  Find out where your students’ strengths lie by having them take a learning style inventory in the beginning of the year. Try to use as many possible models of teaching to cover all bases. Use visuals, lectures, activities, music, group projects, etc. to accommodate the various learning styles of your students. Students need to feel safe physically and emotionally in order to learn. They need to know that you will not tolerate fighting, bullying, or any other disrespect of students. All student deserve equal chances to learn, and learning cannot be disrupted by negative energy. Model respect for your students, and teach them to show respect to one another. Give students opportunities to work with one another on projects. Sometimes students will not want to work with other particular students. Encourage them to treat everyone with respect and let them know that it is good practice to work with students they may not get along with, because in the real world they will have to work with all different people. Try to bridge gaps and work out issues that students have with one another by helping them find common ground with each other.

TL;DR in English: Make lessons for different learning styles. Create a safe space. Plan group activities and assignments.

This is most common dangerous and powerful drugs like heroin. Downers, like opiates, usually leave people in a happy stupor, unable and unwilling to move off the couch they're on. They often squirm around sensually like a baby in blankets, getting comfortable and enjoying every single second of it. Watch Ewan McGregor's masterful performance as a heroin addict in Trainspotting to see how quick this shift can be. Opiates often hit hard, bringing a wave of euphoria, before putting the user into a mellow, sleepy, and often useless state. Most opiate users have their heads blissfully in the clouds. They may start a thought, but finishing it isn't really important. Ask someone's attention, but don't have anything to say when they turn to you. Keep your voice low and quiet. The overall idea is to remain stuck in the clouds, unable to pin down your thoughts. More often than not, this leads to literally falling asleep, your head lolling up in surprise slightly every so often, as if just waking up. Again, this is particularly true of heroin, but drugs like Oxycontin are actually the same type of compound, just slightly weaker. Scratch on your forearms, but don't make a big deal of it. This is just another uncontrollable tic, not some dedicated urge.

TL;DR in English: Act like a sleepy, happy baby, talking little and smiling sleepily. Lurch into wide-eyed happiness right after "taking" the drug, then fade into sleepiness. Let your words and actions drift off into nothing. Drift off regularly, either by falling asleep or simply zoning out into oblivion. Scratch at yourself regularly, as itchiness is often a side-effect of opiates.

As with any work your teacher assigns you, you want to know what is expected of you with regard to the project before you sit down to decide on a topic. Understanding the project is key for picking a topic that will meet the teacher’s requirements and keep you from getting frustrated as you work.  If the teacher has provided an assignment sheet, read it over with a pen or highlighter in hand and mark important details pertaining to the types of topic you may choose, the length of the presentation (if any), materials, sources required, etc. Pay attention to the due date as well—you don’t want to spend days working on a project only to run out of time before you finish! Write down any questions or concerns with the project assignment and ask your teacher (or, if you’re on a tight deadline and the teacher is unavailable, ask a reliable classmate). Be as specific as possible with your questions. For example, instead of saying, “I don’t understand the presentation,” you can say, “I don’t understand how the presentation is supposed to be formatted.” The latter example is much more likely to get you a clear explanation of what you are supposed to do. If you do a project “just to get it done” or “because you have to,” you’re less likely to enjoy it and less likely do your best work. Instead, try looking at the project as an opportunity to increase your skills, knowledge, and ability. Think about areas where you skills could use improvement and whether there things you’d like to or need to learn. How about areas where you’ve shown some weakness? It’s very common to shy away from working in areas that we don’t consider our strongest, but that can often be a mistake, as it keeps us from building ourselves up in those areas and widening our range of talents. Get out a piece of paper and a pen/pencil or open a blank document on your computer and set a timer for 5 minutes (don’t worry if 5 minutes isn’t long enough—you can always go longer if you need to). Then start the timer and write down every idea that comes into your...
