You should leave the last few tablespoons (several ml) of coffee in the bottom of the kettle when you make cowboy coffee. All the grains will be concentrated in the last few drops, so it’s best to discard the last of the coffee rather than drinking it. For traditional cowboy coffee, the grounds don’t get strained from the coffee.

TL;DR in English: Don’t pour the last few drops of coffee from the pot.

For sufferers of anxiety attacks, the feelings of worry and dread associated with anxiety can "snowball", becoming so intense that they overwhelm everything else, and leave the sufferer stunned, panicking, and unable to process what is going on. These episodes are often brought on by high-stress events or situations, are extremely unpleasant and bewildering, and can last from a few minutes, to hours or even entire days.  Anxiety attack sufferers often experience a "deer-in-the-headlights" feeling of being stunned and unable to decide how to respond to a stressful situation. Sufferers of anxiety attacks often experience sharp drops or increases in body temperature (hot or cold flashes), as well as feelings of intense shortness of breath or rapid, erratic heartbeat. Anxiety attacks are often accompanied by obsessive thoughts, which are intense, and unwanted thoughts associated with a problem, worry, or stressful situation. During an anxiety attack, these thoughts may seem to engulf the sufferer, making it difficult or impossible for them to focus on anything else. While these obsessive thoughts may be associated with a concrete problem in the sufferer's life, they can also be much more abstract. For instance, the obsession may be centered on a disturbing or stressful image or sound which becomes "stuck" in the sufferer's mind, preventing thought of anything else. Anxiety attacks are painful, and often debilitating. The physical and emotional strain associated with regular, intense anxiety can also have long-term effects on your health. If you are struggling with anxiety, you should talk with a medical doctor, psychiatrist, or counselor about your symptoms, and possible treatments for anxiety.  The simple act of asking for help from others can help alleviate your symptoms, and set you on a path for less-stressed living.

TL;DR in English: Watch for episodes of snowballing or overwhelming worry. Watch for intense physical tension or discomfort. Be mindful of obsessive thinking. Consult a medical professional.

Siberian cats are distinguished by their thick, triple-layer coats. Look for long guard hairs (the outermost coat), followed by the awn hairs (or middle coat) and then a soft supple undercoat. In their native Russia, these many layers help protect Siberian cats from the intense cold. The coats of Siberian cats can come in all colors.  Typically a Siberian cat’s coat gets thicker and fuller in winter. Siberian cats often have thickly furred tails. Siberians are notable for their large size and ample bodies. Female Siberian cats weigh between 8.8–13.2 pounds (4.0–6.0 kg) and males weigh between 13.2–22 pounds (6.0–10.0 kg). If you want to weigh your cat at home, a good method is to weigh just yourself, then weigh yourself holding your cat. The difference between the 2 measurements is the cat’s weight. Most often, Siberian cats have almost perfectly round green or gold eyes. Though blue eyes are possible, they are much less common. Some Siberian cats may have eyes of 2 different colors. Siberian cats’ ears have a rounded shape with coloring that darkens at the tips. Often, long hairs will stick out of the ears as well, which is known as Lynx tipping, and can make the ears look pointed rather than rounded. The overall head shape is a wedge, and is usually widest between the ears and tapers to a small muzzle. Use petting as an opportunity to really look at your cat’s face. Pet it gently, examining its ear shape. Siberian cats are known for being quite muscular under their thick coats. Run your hands over your cat to feel for muscle definition and size. Their paws are generally large to help them better catch prey as well. Some cats don’t like to have their paws handled. If you don’t know a particular cat well, examine their paws with your eyes rather than your hands.

TL;DR in English: Feel for a dense coat. Find out if the cat weighs between 8.8–22 pounds (4.0–10.0 kg). Look for green or gold eyes. Watch for rounded ears with Lynx tipping. Feel for a muscular build.

It can take days or weeks for the thickness of your blood to change due to dietary and lifestyle habits alone. Start making these changes as early as possible to maximize the potential impact they have on your blood.  Talk to your doctor before altering your diet. They'll be able to give you specific instructions about any dietary changes you should make before your surgery. Preoperative instructions from your doctor may include not eating garlic, cayenne, flax seeds, green tea, tomatoes, eggplants, and potatoes. These foods can affect anesthesia and the thickness of your blood.  You may also be asked to avoid foods that are known to cause allergies, like nuts, eggs, milk, fish, wheat, and soy. Vitamin K plays an important role in maintaining a normal thickness of the blood. As long as you're eating a well-balanced diet, you should be getting enough vitamin K. Make sure your diet includes foods like:  Leafy greens Meats Dairy Alcohol tends to thin the blood and cause more bleeding to occur, so you should avoid consuming alcohol as much as possible at least one week before surgery. An occasional glass of wine or some other alcoholic beverage relatively low in proof may not necessarily cause much of a problem for someone whose blood has a normal consistency, but even that can cause adverse effects for someone whose blood is thinner than average. Your safest option is to avoid alcohol completely until after the surgery is over. Proper hydration is an essential component of healthy blood. If you're dehydrated, the volume of blood pumping through your circulatory system can decrease, causing it to thin out have difficulty coagulating.  Excessive hydration can also cause your blood to become too thin, however. As you drink more, more fluid enters into your blood, thinning it out. It's best to maintain standard, healthy levels of hydration prior to surgery to avoid complications. Try to consume eight 8-oz (250-ml) glasses of fluid each day. Salicylates blocks your body's ability to absorb vitamin K, thereby...

TL;DR in English: Alter your diet one to two weeks in advance. Eat a well-balanced diet so you're getting enough vitamin K. Stop drinking alcohol. Keep yourself adequately hydrated. Avoid salicylates. Control your vitamin E. Avoid taking supplements unless they're approved by your doctor. Limit your exercise routine.

A common cause of stomach ache is constipation: your body needs to move its bowels, but something is blocking or impeding this movement.  You can ease constipation by eating or drinking fiber-rich items such as prunes, bran, or broccoli.  Prunes are particularly powerful as they contain the natural laxative sorbitol, as well as packing a mean, fiber-full punch.  If constipation persists after consuming fiber-rich foods and drinks, try a mild laxative such as a water-soluble powder or sennoside-containing tea. A cup of coffee can also stimulate your digestive tract muscles and cause a bowel movement.  Don't gulp it down all day long, though.  Coffee is a natural diuretic, so too much of it can cause dehydration and exacerbate constipation.  Prune juice is well known to help stimulate the bowels and get them moving.  Drink a small glass in the AM, and a small glass in the PM to help with constipation. Studies have shown that these three herbs can help mitigate nausea and general abdominal discomfort.  Ginger regulates digestion, while mint and chamomile can be particularly soothing to cramped muscles. You can also chew on boiled mint leaves or drink ginger water rather than drinking teas made from these herbs.  To make ginger water, toss a few chunks of ginger in hot water, steep, and strain. Most over-the-counter antacids contain baking soda as their primary ingredient, so next time skip the store and make your own antacid at home.   Simply dissolve a tablespoon into a glass of warm water and drink the solution slowly. Repeat this process every few hours until your indigestion or nausea subside. Unlike regular white vinegar, apple cider vinegar alleviates nausea by absorbing unwanted nutrients in your stomach. Mix two to three tablespoons of it into a glass of lukewarm water. If the taste doesn't put you off too much, you can sip on a glass every few hours until your nausea goes away. Purchase an organic, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar which clearly states that it contains 'the mother.'  This means that it...

If your bed is messy and unkept, your room will look dirty. However, if your bed is neatly made, your room will look much tidier. Make this a habit by making your bed every morning when you wake up. Wash your bedding every one or two weeks. If you sweat a lot while you sleep, you may need to wash it more frequently. If your kitchen counters get cluttered and dirty, your whole kitchen will look dirty. First, clear away any ingredients or tools immediately after you use them. Next, wipe the counters down with a damp paper towel to remove any food debris from the surface. Don’t let liquids or wet foods dry onto the counter. They are harder to clean and may damage the counter’s finish. If you have a stack of bills by the door or a pile of books next to the bed, you can arrange them into a neat pile. A neat pile will instantly make the room look much more organized. While you’re tidying the stack of clutter, see if there’s anything you can throw away. The less clutter you have, the easier it is to clean your house.

TL;DR in English: Make your bed every morning. Keep your kitchen counters clean. Arrange clutter into neat piles.

. When it's time to eat, make sure that you're away from distractions. Studies have shown that people who were distracted while eating felt less full, satisfied, and consumed more food than people who practiced mindful eating. People who have healthy weights enjoy their meals and snacks to the fullest and have limited distractions while they eat. Remember, skinny people may not be the same.  Focus on each bite that you take: What are the tastes? What is the texture like? Is it hot or cold? Make sure that you chew your food thoroughly before you swallow. Try putting your fork down in between bites and chewing 20–30 times per bite. Do not eat large portions regularly or eat until you are full; instead, listen to what your body is telling you about the appropriate amount of food to eat. This ability may come naturally for some, but may take practice and concentration for others.   Stopping when you're satisfied can be difficult. It's easy to eat until we feel "full" or have had a little too much. However, if you eat mindfully and pay attention, your body should tell you when you're satisfied. Satisfied may feel different to everyone. Typically signs include: a lack of hunger, a feeling that you will not get hungry again for 3–4 hours, or a disinterest in your food. You may feel a slight presence of food in your stomach. Many times satisfaction is a lack of a feeling.  If you feel full, you might have eaten too much. Fullness may feel like: a stretching of your stomach, bloated or uncomfortable. When you're full, you may think "that was a few bites too many." . Another hallmark of people who stay thin, rather than skinny people, is that they typically do not emotionally eat on a regular basis. Those that have trouble managing their weight may cope with stress or other emotions with food.   Come up with a list of activities that can help you de-stress, calm down or self-soothe. This could be: listening to music, taking a hot shower, reading a good book or going for a walk. Journaling may also help manage emotional...

TL;DR in English: Eat mindfully Stop eating when you're satisfied, not full. Track emotional eating Don't skip meals. Exercise regularly.

The key in getting a job is to focus on what you have to offer. Remember: applying for a job is not a one-way street. You need to convince them that you are good candidate for the job, but they also need to convince you that the job is right for you. Your cover letter, resume, and interviews are for displaying your abilities. There is no need to mention or apologize for your anxiety in them. Remember: shy, quiet people are generally considered to be more trustworthy, so your reticence can actually serve you well in an interview. However, you might want to discuss your anxiety if:  You are applying for a job at a workplace that is known to welcome people with disabilities and encourage a diverse workforce. Being open with your employer can make your relationship with them much easier.  You believe the employer will notice your anxiety and have questions. If so, acknowledge your anxiety and turn it into a positive. For example: "I am a bit nervous today, but I like to push myself to perform even when I am nervous. It's a great way to grow and improve."  You believe you will need accommodations, such as a less distracting office space. (Your employer cannot charge you or pay you less salary for reasonable accommodations.) To benefit from the Americans with Disabilities Act, you must disclose your disability and your required accommodations to your employer. The best antidote to being anxious during an interview is making sure you are totally prepared. Then, when negative thoughts arise — I'm so anxious… I'm going to blow this — stop and remind yourself that you are well prepared.  Be ready to address gaps in your resume – e.g., "Yes, I had a number of part time jobs until I realized the need to improve my skills, so I have undertaken additional training." You can also discuss the educational steps you took between jobs. Be ready to answer common questions: What is your biggest weakness? Where do you see yourself in five years? What interests you about this opening? Why did you/are you leaving your last/current...

TL;DR in English: Focus on your abilities, not your anxiety. Do not feel compelled to mention your social anxiety. Prepare for interviews. Make connections.

Think of who you are going on the date with. Take a few moments to yourselves. Include everyone. Avoid being too intimate or personal.

Many events and situations can trigger a stress response. A major life stressor can include living through a natural disaster (like a flood, hurricane, or earthquake), ending a relationship, starting a new school or job, or the death of a loved one. A stress response can also occur due to multiple events such as marital problems or school problems. Adjustment problems can occur from recurrent events (like going to chemotherapy or driving in a car after an accident)  or continuous events, such as living in an unsafe neighborhood. Problems with adjustment can manifest as physical symptoms. Some common symptoms include trembling or twitching, heart palpitations, and physical complaints such as stomach aches, headaches, and general aches and pains in the body. Notice if you have any of these symptoms and think back to when they started. Did the symptoms begin around a stressful time in your life? This may be related to stress response syndrome. You might feel nervous or tense, or find yourself crying frequently. Other symptoms include depression, anxiety, worry, and tension. You could also feel hopeless, sad, or helpless. You may also withdraw from people or social events or isolate yourself from others frequently.  Notice major shifts in your emotional functioning as related to stressors in your life. Did any emotional symptoms occur right after the event? Did they come gradually over the first months after an event? Emotional symptoms can onset immediately or over time. Some people experience behavioral changes as a result of experiencing distress. You may experience impulsive behavior such as impromptu shopping trips. Or you may experience defiant behavior, such as not wanting to follow directions or listen to authority. Children and teens may experience behavior changes more often than adults, and may act out their feelings. This can include skipping school, engaging in fights, or other negative behaviors.

TL;DR in English: Identify triggers of stress response syndrome. Be aware of physical symptoms. Look for emotional symptoms. Notice any changes in behavior.

The scumbling method allows artists to develop texture and value in their works. To execute this blending method, select two or more colors of oil pastels. Choose one color and begin creating controlled scribble marks across your canvas. Repeat this process with the remaining colors you selected, overlapping the colors at various, random points. Continue to layer the scribbled colors until you achieve the desired look and hue. When executing the cross-hatching method, artists blend colors together by drawing overlapping lines in two distinct directions.  Lightly sketch the area you wish to cross hatch. Select two colors of oil pastels, preferably a light and a dark shade. Determine the two directions of your lines. Assign a color to each direction. Draw a series of lines with one color going in one direction. Draw a second series of lines with the second color going in a different direction. Continue to fill in the area with lines until you achieve the desired effect. In the sgraffito method, artists create a design or add fine details by scratching through layers of oil pastels.  Apply multiple layers of oil pastels in various contrasting colors to your canvas. Often, the last layer is a dark color.  Select a pointed object of your choice, such as: a paper clip, a comb, or a wooden stylus. Use this sharp item to scratch away the layers of oil pastels, leaving behind an intricate design.

TL;DR in English: Blend your oil pastels with the scumbling method. Use the cross-hatch method to blend oil pastels. Apply the sgraffito method.

Being a good host is about making people feel comfortable from the minute they walk in the door. This means you need to do some preparation before your guest arrives. Clean the house, have a clear space for guest to put their bags/shoes/coat/umbrella. If you're planning on playing games or watching something, make sure that the supplies are easily accessible.  Anything that could embarrass you may also make your guest uncomfortable: dirt, potentially-offensive books/magazines/movies, or having to root around in the closet or kitchen for something. Know your guests' allergies beforehand so you can be prepared. Consider allergies to food, drinks, animals, and cleaning products. When your guest arrives, lay down the basic house rules right away. This doesn't mean that you need to give them a lecture: it means being kind but clear about the expectations for the space in which they've found themselves.  If you like guests to remove their shoes, don't let them walk around for a bit and then comment on it. Pointedly take off your shoes and ask if they would like you to put theirs away too. They will get the hint. If you have furniture that you don't want your guests to touch or rooms that you don't want them to enter, be clear from the beginning to avoid awkwardness later on. Point out the bathroom right away. This way, no one will need to ask where it is in the middle of another conversation. Don't pressure the guest to clean up with you, but don't deny them if they really want to help. Many people would rather contribute than be waited on. Having something to do takes the mind off of any lingering discomfort.  Give your guests little things to do, like emptying the table or putting the dessert on the table. If they offer to clean the dishes, you may find it most polite to decline and offer them a drink. Sit them at the bar in the kitchen and let them talk to you while you clean dishes. If they are determined, then leave the dishes, sit at the table and talk; ignore the fact that there are dishes to be washed. No...

Those are the oversized, light, rubber balls often used for Pilates. It doesn’t matter which size you use. Choose one that you’re comfortable with. You’ll get a bigger contraction with a larger ball. With your back on the floor, roll the ball up under your feet. You want your feet to be on the top center of the ball. Put your full weight between your feet (on the ball) and your shoulder blades. Use your arms to stabilize yourself. This will be your starting position. Bend your knees, pulling the ball as close as you can to your bottom. This will contract the hamstring. Hold for a brief pause and then push the ball back out to your starting position. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Before you actually start planning any date you will want to think about who you are inviting on the date.  You will want to make sure that everyone going on the date will be compatible with one another.  Take a few moments to think about the personalities of those going on the date to make sure it will be a good one.  Think about the other couple you are bringing along and make sure they will be a good fit for you and your partner. Try to find a good mix of personalities that will prevent any one person from dominating the conversation or from shying away. Although you will be going on a double date, taking a few moments alone with your partner can be a good idea.  This small break can give you both some time to enjoy each others company alone and discuss your thoughts and feelings about the evening.  Think about some ways you can enjoy small moments as a couple during your double date.  You might try asking your date to grab the next round of drinks with you. Getting up to dance with your date can give you both a few minutes together. Going on a double date will require you all to pay careful attention to everyone's mood and level of engagement.  Whatever the reason, you will have to step in and engage someone if it feels like they aren't comfortable, are acting withdrawn, or are being excluded.  Keep everyone engaged and part of the evening to help make your double date a good one.  If someone hasn't spoken in some time you should steer your conversation in a direction that involves their thoughts. Make sure to focus your energy on the other couple and not just your own date. Part of double dating is sharing the evening with another couple.  This couple won't share the same bond that you and your date might.  Always avoid over-sharing personal details or being overly affectionate with your partner when on a double date to keep things comfortable.  Don't discuss anything too personal that might make the other couple uncomfortable. Keep your displays of affection light.

Petroleum jelly products like Vaseline act as a shield, helping to seal in the natural moisture of your eyelashes and eyebrows. Just simply put some Vaseline petroleum jelly on the roots of your eyelashes before going to bed.  Rinse your eyelashes with warm water in the morning. You can even rub the Vaseline on your eyebrows. You could use a Q-Tip or clean mascara brush to apply. Try applying Vaseline to your eyelashes every night while you sleep and in weeks you should have longer, thicker eyelashes. While some holistic health practitioners warn against petroleum jelly, the kind that you can buy in stores is regarded as safe by both the FDA and Health Canada. However, petroleum jelly from unregulated markets may be dangerous. Stick to brand names from trusted retailers if you use this treatment. These oils are known to strengthen and stimulate eyelash growth. You could also mix them together.  Just pour a few drops of the oil onto a Q-Tip, and then coat your eyelashes with it. Keep it on your lashes for a few minutes (around 5-8 minutes) and then rinse. Do this once a day for 1-2 weeks, and you should notice the effect soon. Also apply olive or coconut oil on your eyelids and on the skin under your eyes every night (before you go to bed) for a noticeable effect. Apply olive or coconut oil with a cotton swab. Plan not to use eye makeup on days when you use oil, as the oil could cause cosmetics like mascara to run or bleed. Despite the disgusting idea of rubbing raw eggs on your eyelashes, eggs are a very good way of getting lengthy, healthy eyelashes.  The high protein in eggs can help create thicker and longer eyelashes. In addition, eggs contain biotin and B vitamins that play a major role in improving the overall texture of your lashes. Just beat 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of glycerin until you get a thick, creamy texture. Then rub this mixture onto your eyelashes using a cotton swab and keep on for 15 minutes. Rinse off using cold water. Repeat this remedy 3 times a week for a few months. Look for glycerin at...

Hold your nose to the edge of the test container and inhale deeply. Take note of any scents or aromas you smell. Be creative and write down any associations. You might smell flavorings or ingredients that are a part of the food you’re smelling. The smell might also trigger a memory.   For example, a cereal may smell of corn if that is an ingredient. Alternatively, a chocolate chip cookie might smell not only of vanilla but also remind you of your grandma’s house. If you’re having trouble smelling the food, break it up a bit with your fingers. Take a bite of the food and feel its texture as you chew it. Notice if the texture of the food when you’re eating it feels different than when you touched it. Make notes not only about the food’s physical texture but also how you feel eating the food, if it is comforting, for example.  You might consider if it crunches between your teeth or dissolves, for example. It can be helpful to think of texture, soft to hard, on a scale of 1-10. A numerical system can help if you are comparing different samples. Observe whether the food’s texture makes the food easy to swallow and eat or if the texture leaves your mouth dry. Take another bite, and move the food over your tongue. Certain areas of your tongue are most attuned to sweet, while others are more attuned to salt or sour, so this will help you experience all the flavors this food offers. Note if the food tastes the way it smelled, or different. Write down your impressions of the food’s taste, not just good or bad, but at least five phrases that would help you characterize it if you were trying to remember it in the future.   Rate the sweetness, savoriness, sourness, and spiciness of the food. If you like, you can do so on a scale of 1-10. When tasting a food, it can be helpful to think about what’s pleasing about it and what you would change about it. Note the aftertaste, if any. For example, when tasting certain lasagna, you might note that it tastes like fresh tomatoes, pecorino cheese and too much oregano. Maybe it...

TL;DR in English: Smell the food to note the aroma. Taste the food to determine the texture. Taste the food to experience the flavor.

Nearly all speakers in the interior of a car will be covered with some sort of protective paneling or grill. Before the speaker can be modified or replaced, this barrier must be removed. Pry the grill off with a suitable tool, like a flat head screwdriver, removing any bolts or screws that are holding it in place if necessary. The work you'll have to do to access your car's factory speakers will vary from car to car. In worst case scenarios, for example, you may need to remove seats, crawl into the trunk to access important bolts or wires, or even remove entire door panels to gain access to the speakers. Note that the speaker is usually, but not always, attached to a wiring harness, so take care not to rip it out when removing it. You may also find that you need to unscrew one or more small bolts and/or chip at any adhesive foam or glue that's holding the speaker in place. If you think you'll need to re-install the factory speakers in the future (for instance, if you sell the car), don't forget to save any screws that you remove! Usually, connecting your new speaker is a fairly simple matter of plugging your speaker's wiring harness into the car's wiring harness. However, if your car doesn't have this simple type of connection, you may need to connect your speaker with a soldered or crimped connection.  Make sure you match the polarity of the car and speaker's connections. Usually, the speaker's positive terminal is the larger of the two and is marked with a "+" or a small dot.  Electrical tape can be a risky choice for wire connections, especially in the dashboard, as changes in temperature can weaken the tape and lead to problems down the road. Now that you've connected your speaker, it's important to test the connection so that  you don't have to waste time later to fix a problem. Re-connect the battery's negative terminal and turn on the car's radio or stereo. Listen for sound coming out of your new speaker or look for visible vibrations at high volumes. If your speaker won't work, this means that there...

TL;DR in English: Take any panels or speaker grilles off. Remove the factory speaker. Connect the new speaker to the car's electrical system. Test the speaker. Secure the new speaker. Install and test any subwoofers Install and test any tweeters. Replace all panels and speaker grilles.

Do you want to write in an elegant handwritten journal? Or would you rather create a daily blog? There are benefits to both. A handwritten diary can be easily carried in your purse, backpack, or even in a pocket. An online blog is more interactive, and you can include links to other sites, photos, respond to comments, etc.  Try different formats until you know what you prefer. Personalize your diary to express your personality, using stickers, drawings, photographs, widgets, or anything else that you might want to include. You might sometimes write long entries, and other times just a quote that caught your attention. Include mementos of your day, such as flowers pressed between the pages of your diary, or a special card or paper wrapper. You might want to add a photo of something you saw that day, which may be accompanied by a story...or, it might not.  Try cartooning a diary entry. Particularly if you’ve never drawn before, this can be a fun thing to try to make your diary interesting. Write a daily entry in haiku, or another kind of poem for variety. If you write your diary by hand, try writing with a variety of pens or pencils. Writing in colored ink may change the things that you think to write about, or you might try color-coding your thoughts. Writing with a calligraphy pen or a fine fountain pen might lead to new ideas.  If you write with a pencil, you can easily include sketches in your diary. Colored pencils can also lend themselves to new and interesting ideas. Try writing with gel pens, ballpoint pens, felt-tipped pens, fine-tipped or thicker tipped pens. If you've never tried creating a diary online, explore some of the free options such as Penzu, Dear Diary, My Diary or Diary.com. Popular blogging programs, like WordPress, Live Journal, and Blogger, can also be set on "private" settings and used as a diary.  Digital diaries have many possibilities for personalization, and allow you to be very creative with content. For example, you could include audio clips, or video options. Consider adding...

TL;DR in English:


Use non-academic sources as a starting point. Identify locations of likely sources. Search for books and scholarly articles. Get a research librarian to assist you. Keep organized notes on each of your sources. Synthesize your information and tie up loose ends. Craft your thesis statement based on what you've found.

Your anchor should be a hook on a plate with a hole in it. Use a screwdriver attachment on your drill. Drive the screw through the hole in the plate, and into the hole you predrilled into the wall. Some anchors also include a washer to put between the screw and the anchor plate. Other anchors are basically screws with hooks at the end. In this case, just turn the hook’s screw into the hole you predrilled in the wall. If you used anchors with plates, take a screwdriver and give each screw a few turns by hand just to double check it’s secure. The screw should not jiggle. If you used screw-in hook anchors, make sure that the hook on each is facing upright and is tightly attached to the wall. If you are hanging something like a framed picture, it may have a wire that you can catch on the anchor hooks. Other objects will have a hole, hanger, eyelet, or something else that you can fit the end of the anchor hook into. If your object has nothing to help it hang on a hook, take a trip to the hardware store. You should be able to find a variety of hangers you can attach to your object.

TL;DR in English: Insert a screw into the anchor’s plate. Screw in hooks, alternatively. Tighten everything by hand. Hang the item on the brick wall.

Once you've found a suitable route to learning hip hop online, begin practicing basic dance moves. One basic move is the hip pull. To start, stand with your feet apart.  Move your right elbow and right hip to the right. As you do so, transfer your weight to your left leg. Repeat on the other side. Go back and forth like this in quick motions. Your movements should be fast and abrupt. Spend a minute or so getting this rhythm down. Now, incorporate your arm into the move move. When you shift with your right hip and elbow, reach your right arm to the left and twist your torso sideways. It should look like you're grabbing something from the air. Return your arm to the side, get back in the starting position, and repeat on the other side. This is a basic move you can add to any hip hop routine. Remember to keep your moves abrupt and direct. This move should not be smooth. It should be kind of disjointed and fast-paced. The chest pop is a really easy step that involves your chest and hand. To start, place one of your hands in front of your chest. Do not touch your chest. Just keep your hand spread out in front about an inch away from your chest.  Pop your chest out and touch your hand. Then, immediately move your chest back into the original position. Do not leave your hand on your chest for too long. Only stop for a moment before moving your chest away from you hand. Alternating which hand is over your chest, you can do this move to the beat in a hip hop song. Happy feet essentially has four parts. To start, stand in a  normal position with your legs stretched out slightly. When the beat begins, you will move your body into four different positions following four beats of music.  For the first two beats, you will pivot on your heels. Pop your right foot up, placing your weight on your heel. Pop your left heel up, placing your weight on the ball of your foot. You will then turn both your feet to the left on the first beat. On the second beat, turn your feet to the right. For the third beat, you would jump forward....

TL;DR in English: Try the hip pull. Perform the chest pop. Try happy feet. Attempt the arm wave.

. Rather than have 2-3 big meals, try having 5-6 meals with smaller portion sizes. This can help to prevent overwhelming your esophagus with a lot of food at once and make it easier for you to digest your food properly. For example, you may have a small portion of food in the morning and then several small meals during the day, rather than a set breakfast, lunch, and dinner with larger portions. Food with lots of pepper and other spices can make your symptoms worse. Acidic foods like tomatoes, oranges, strawberries, and lemons can also cause spasms. Try cutting these foods out of your diet to see if your symptoms improve. Acidic drinks like coffee can also make your spasms worse so you should avoid drinking these, if possible. Try not to prepare food that is very hot or very cold, as the extreme temperatures can make your symptoms worse. Eat food at room temperature to avoid aggravating your esophagus. These two habits can make your symptoms worse and cause spasms to occur. Try quitting smoking or reducing how many cigarettes you smoke a day. Limit yourself to one to two drinks a month to prevent making your spasms worse. Esophageal spasms can become worse at night and make it difficult for you to sleep. To stop them, raise the head of your bed by using blocks under your bed frame or by placing a foam wedge under your mattress.  Do not try adding extra pillows under your head when you sleep, as this is not an effective option unless you buy a special pillow. You can purchase a special pillow that keeps you elevated. However, raising the bed, or investing in a bed that you can raise up, is a better option. Wait two to three hours after you eat to lie down in bed, to give your body time to digest your food and prevent spasms or heartburn. Keep these areas unrestricted by wearing clothing that is loose and flowy, such as tops that cut low at the neck. Go for clothing in breathable fabrics like cotton and linen to prevent these areas from getting too hot or tight. Losing even 5 to 8 pounds (2.3 to 3.6 kg) can...

TL;DR in English: Have several small meals throughout the day Avoid spicy, acidic foods. Have food at room temperature. Do not smoke or drink alcohol. Raise your bed 15 to 20 centimetres (5.9 to 7.9 in) to help you sleep. Avoid wearing tight clothing around your neck or abdominal area. Consider losing weight if you are overweight. Try deep breathing exercises to relax your esophagus.

When babies take their first steps, they are never sure if they shall reach the next side, but they believe in themselves and hope to reach it and slowly and gently they do. When they arrive at their destination, they smile innocently and you can feel the joy of success in their beautiful eyes and smile achievement. Relationships are similar; take the baby steps, feel the calm, and take the chance. New relationships are the most fun in the beginning stages and it's during this pivotal time when it's easy to take unnecessary leaps. Try your best to keep a logical head and take those baby steps. It'll help you from getting too overly emotional and watch out for future you. It's easy to find a new love and want to devote all your time to them. Unfortunately, sometimes this results in relationship burn out. You become clingy or desperate and don't even remember how to function without the other person. To avoid this, make sure you maintain your friendships. They were there before, they're there during, and they'll be there after if you need someone to help you pick up the pieces. Don't let them go! What's more, they'll keep you balanced and rational. Not only with good advice, but by simply spending time with different people. Your thoughts won't be fixated only on this other person and you'll still be that complex, interesting person you've always been with strong relationships to prove it. If you're the type that falls in love too quickly, it can be helpful to don your "rational" hat once in a while (if not more often). This is when you take a look at your life (or life in general) and aim to think logically. Here's a few thoughts that can keep the crazy lovelorn-ness at bay:  This person is great, sure, but realistically they're no greater than other fish in the sea. Humans, overall, are pretty similar creatures. Love comes and goes. Your previous relationships have faded, and this one might, too, at some point. Might as well make the most of it while it lasts. Emotions are fickle little things. You only think...

TL;DR in English: Take baby steps. Spend time with your friends. Put on your "rational" hat. Take a moment to just chill. Let it grow naturally.

Books, as well as newspaper and magazine articles, can increase your familiarity with your topic. They may also introduce you to academic sources and experts whose work you can seek out.  Documentary films can also serve as good introductory sources. You won't necessarily be referencing any of these sources in your project, you're simply using them to get a better feel for your topic, the experts in the field, and the sources available. Based on your preliminary research, determine what kind of sources are most likely to have information that will help you answer your research question. In most cases, you'll use a mixture of books, scholarly articles, and online sources.  For example, if you're researching history, your likely sources will be published books and scholarly articles by historians. If you're researching the development of smart phones, on the other hand, you'll probably find most of your sources online or in tech magazines. You may need to use a university or specialty library, which likely has resources that aren't available at libraries open to the general public. Contact the library you want to use to find out how you can gain access. Published books and scholarly articles are typically preferred sources for academic research. Retrieving sources typically involves making a trip to the library. You may be able to use the catalogue on the library's website to request titles before you go.  Depending on your topic, it may be possible to do all of your research online. This is likely if you're researching something trendy or cutting edge, such as a new tech development. Many scholarly articles can be found in electronic databases. University libraries typically allow free access to these databases for students and faculty. Research librarians are specifically trained to find sources of information. They can help locate books, articles, and other sources of information that you may not have been able to find on your own.  In the library, look for the desk called the "research desk" or "reference...

You can use diamonds to automatically research and build things instead of having to wait an allotted amount of time. This can level you up much faster and increase your progress through the game. Limit the amount that you do this so that you can stock up on diamonds as you play through the game. The longer that you play the game, the longer things take to build and the more useful diamonds become, so it's good to have a supply of them. Do not waste diamonds during the early stages of the game. You can also purchase diamonds with real money. Your character starts with 30 diamonds initially. After that, you'll gain one or two diamonds per level. This will be used as your main source of diamonds, so spend them sparingly. You can also get diamonds by purchasing them with real money. If you login to Hay Day using your Facebook account, you'll get an automatic five more diamonds to start off with. Connecting your account to Facebook will also let you see your Facebook friend's farms. Purple tickets will occasionally show up next to the newspaper icon. Clicking these tickets will allow you to watch a 30-second game trailer. If you complete the trailer, you'll earn diamonds. As you play through the game there are different landmarks that you can achieve in order to gain more free diamonds. Achievements include completing 2,000 truck deliveries, helping visitors who come to your farm, and placing ads in newspapers. Your character can start mining at level 24. Unlocking the mine costs 26,000 coins. You can use shovels, dynamite, or TNT to reveal different ore and diamonds from the mine. Click on the mine, then click on the tool that you want to use to extract the diamonds. Getting diamonds through mines is relatively rare, so you may have to use your mine multiple times before you get any diamonds. You can ask Tom to look for mining materials, or you can purchase them at roadside shops.  Tom is the farmhand that you unlock at level 14. You can make him search for any items in the game that you need. After an initial 3...

A small tree will cost about $70. Even if it starts out small, your tree will yield fruit in 1 to 2 years, depending on when you are able to plant it.   If your local nursery doesn’t carry finger lime trees, they will most likely be happy to order one for you. All you have to do is ask! If you cannot obtain a finger lime tree locally, you can order one from an online nursery. Most often, a soil that contains sand will drain well. Finger limes can grow in a wide range of soil—the most important thing to is make sure it won’t be sitting in stagnant water.  Soil with a pH of 5-7 is recommended for finger limes. When you buy soil, the bag will indicate what the pH level is. If you are uncertain, ask someone at your local nursery for advice. You can order finger lime seeds from your local nursery or online, but keep in mind that most trees take up to 15 years to mature to the point of producing fruit.   If you do opt to plant seeds, make sure to use fresh ones. Even with fresh seeds, the finger lime tree is slow to grow and seedlings have a low success rate.    Plant seeds in a cell tray with drains about 2 inches (51 mm) deep in the soil. Use your finger to make the hole, then drop a seed into it. Cover it back up with soil. Keep in bright sun (or under a sun lamp) and water every 3-4 days, keeping the soil moist. Once seeds start to sprout, you can replant them in individual pots. Continue moving the seedlings to larger and larger pots as they grow. Places like California and Australia (the native land of the finger lime) have good year-long climates for outdoor citrus plants, in the 60–90 °F (16–32 °C) range. This tree does well in partial shade to direct sunlight.    Dig a hole in the ground deep enough for the roots of the tree. Place the tree in the hole and fill in the remaining area with additional soil. You want the tree to be able to stand on its own.   The finger lime tree makes a good hedge and the leaves will grow flat against a wall or lattice.   Avoid windy locations when planting your tree. The...

TL;DR in English: Buy a finger lime tree from a local nursery to harvest fruit next season. Use well-draining soil to prevent your tree from growing root mold. Sow seeds if you are interested in studying growth patterns. Plant your tree outdoors if you live in a warm climate. Pot your finger lime tree if you live in an area that gets cold in the winter.

Panic attacks are the result of your body responding to a perceived trauma or threat. However, a pattern of panic attacks occurs due to the individual’s anxiety related to the actual panic attack and his fear that the attack will be painful or harmful. This fear leads to increased anxiety, which can trigger another panic attack. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment for panic attacks, focuses on changing thoughts in order to alter your feelings (both physiological and psychological) and actions. Ironically, the fear of having a panic attack can lead to more panic attacks. Your fear of having a panic attack is directly related to your thoughts about having an attack. If you change your thoughts to more realistic evaluations, then you can prevent or lessen future attacks by reducing your anxiety and fear.  It is important to de-catastrophize the effects of a panic attack. Instead of thinking, “I’m having a heart attack, or I feel like I’m going to die,” change this thought to, “I am okay, I’m just having a panic attack, and it will pass.” Use a panic attack thought record sheet in order to track your thoughts and actively change them in order to reduce future panic. Go to www.getselfhelp.co.uk/docs/PanicThoughtRecord.pdf. Allowing fears (especially worries about having a panic attack) to build up can increase the severity and frequency of panic attacks. Thus, reducing your fears by facing them head-on could alleviate panic because instead of avoiding the issue you are dealing with it appropriately. This helps to alleviate some of the anxiety that usually builds up and causes an attack. Instead of suppressing your fears or hoping they will go away, deal with them in a straight-forward manner.  Label your fear. As you feel fear coming on assign a number to it from 1 to 10. Your fear likely won't stay at a high number for long, so as the number decreases you can feel more relieved. When you fear failure, try new things you've been afraid to do in the past. If you fear social situations,...

TL;DR in English: Realize that trying to avoid the attack is part of the problem. Understand that the panic attack will pass and it will not kill you. Face your fears. Accept emotions in general. Focus on what you can control.

The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b{\displaystyle y=mx+b}, where y{\displaystyle y} equals the y-coordinate of a point on the line, x{\displaystyle x} equals the x-coordinate of that same point, m{\displaystyle m} equals the slope of the line, and b{\displaystyle b} equals the y-intercept. The standard form is Ax+By=C{\displaystyle Ax+By=C}, where x{\displaystyle x} and y{\displaystyle y} are the coordinates of a point on the line, A{\displaystyle A} is a positive integer, and B{\displaystyle B} and C{\displaystyle C} are integers. Use inverse operations to move variables from one side of the equation to the other side. Remember to keep the equation balanced, which means that whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must also do to the other side. For example, you might have the equation of a line 3x+2y=4{\displaystyle 3x+2y=4}. This is in standard form. If you need to find the y-intercept of the line, you need to rearrange the formula to slope-intercept form by isolating the y{\displaystyle y} variable: Subtract 3x{\displaystyle 3x} from both sides of the equation:3x+2y−3x=4−3x{\displaystyle 3x+2y-3x=4-3x}2y=4−3x{\displaystyle 2y=4-3x}. Divide both sides by 2{\displaystyle 2}:2y2=4−3x2{\displaystyle {\frac {2y}{2}}={\frac {4-3x}{2}}}y=4−3x2{\displaystyle y={\frac {4-3x}{2}}} If you are changing an equation to slope-intercept or standard form, rearrange the variables, coefficients, and constants so that they follow the correct formula. For example, to change y=4−3x2{\displaystyle y={\frac {4-3x}{2}}} to the correct slope-intercept formula, you need to switch the order of the number in the numerator, then simplify:y=−3x+42{\displaystyle y={\frac {-3x+4}{2}}}y=−32x+2{\displaystyle y={\frac {-3}{2}}x+2}Now, since the formula is in proper slope-intercept form, it is easy to identify the y-intercept as 2.

Ensure that all parties have the capacity to enter a contract. Do not attempt to write a contract for something illegal. Do not coerce someone into entering a contract. Avoid fraudulent claims or terms within the contract.

First apply soap or soapy water to the patient's skin. Scrub it gently with a washcloth to remove dirt and bacteria, then place the washcloth in the soapy basin. Dip a second washcloth into the rinsing basin and use it to rinse away the soap. Pat the area dry with a towel.  Remember to rotate between the two washcloths: use one for soaping and one for rinsing. If the cloths become soiled, switch to clean ones. Replace the water in the basins as necessary. Gently wash the patient's face, ears and neck with soapy water. Rinse away the soap with a separate washcloth. Dry the cleansed area with a towel. Gently lift their head into the shampooing basin. Wet the hair by pouring water over the patient's head, taking care not to get it in their eyes. Apply shampoo, then rinse it away. Pat the hair dry with a towel. Fold over the sheet on the left side of the body down to the hip. Place a towel beneath the exposed arm. Wash and rinse the patient's shoulder, underarm, arm and hand. Dry the wet areas with a towel.  Dry the washed areas thoroughly, especially the underarm, to prevent chafing and bacteria growth. Recover with the sheet to keep the patient warm. Fold over the sheet to expose the right side. Place the towel beneath the other arm and repeat, washing, rinsing and drying the right shoulder, underarm, arm and hand.  Dry the washed areas thoroughly, especially the underarm, to prevent chafing and bacteria growth. Recover with the sheet to keep the patient warm. Fold the sheet down to the waist and gently wash and rinse the chest, stomach and sides. Be sure to wash carefully among any folds in the patient's skin, since bacteria tends to get trapped there. Dry the torso carefully, especially among the folds. Recover the patient with the sheet to keep the patient warm. Uncover the patient's right leg up to the waist, and wash, rinse and dry the leg and foot. Recover the right leg and uncover the left, then wash, rinse and dry the leg and foot.

Take your fabric pieces and separate them. Then, take one piece and fold it in half lengthwise so that the inseam of the leg is matching up and the printed side of the fabric is on the inside. Place pins along the inseam of the leg, but do not pin past the crotch area on the legging piece. After you pin up the inseam on one piece, do the same with the other piece. When you have finished pinning both of the legging pieces along the inseam, use a sewing machine to sew a zigzag stitch along the pinned areas. Sew about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the edge of the inseam. Do not sew past the crotch area.  Remove the pins as you sew. Trim off the excess threads when you are done. After you finish sewing both leg pieces along the inseams, turn one of the leg pieces right side out. Then, insert this piece into the piece that still has the print side on the inside. The pieces should be aligned so that their waistbands match up and the bottom of the legs are even. Make sure the seams are all lined up as well. With one pant leg inside the other, sew along the crotch area going from one side of the waistband to the other. This will connect the 2 pant legs and create the seam for the crotch. Trim off any excess threads when you finish sewing. Turn the pants right side out. Then, pin the end of the elastic strip so that it is lined up with the edge of the waistband on the back side of the pants. Make sure that the elastic is on the inside of the waistband, not on the printed side. Sew a zigzag stitch along the top edge of the elastic to secure it in the waistband. Tug on the elastic slightly as you sew to ensure that it will create a snug waistband. Sew all the way around the waistband so that the elastic overlaps by about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm).  Make sure not to sew over the pin and remove the pin when you are done sewing. Trim off any excess threads. After you sew the elastic strip into the waistband, cut off any excess elastic and discard it. Then, fold the waistband over into the pants to hide the raw (cut) edge of the...

In order to do a vigorous-intensity workout, you’ve got to work pretty hard. Whichever activity you choose should make you sweat, elevate your heart rate, and make you think, “wow, this is tough!” Work out for a minimum of 30 minutes at least 3 times per week. This type of exercise has been shown to significantly reduce inflammation. Examples of vigorous activities include going for a run or a fast bike ride, swimming laps, doing aerobic dancing, or hiking uphill. If you’ve never really exercised before or have a condition that keeps you from doing vigorous activity, go for a lighter workout that lasts at least 30 minutes. Even moving a little bit each day will help bring down your inflammation. Push yourself until you feel like you’ve reached the point of, “ok, this is hard, but I’m not struggling yet.” Go for a walk around the block at a brisk pace or sign up for a water aerobics class. Yoga nidra is a type of yoga practice that involves suspending yourself between wakefulness and sleep. It should help you feel complete mental and physical relaxation. In at least 1 study, doing this activity significantly reduced elevated ESR levels. To do yoga nidra:  Lie flat on your back on a mat or other comfortable surface. Listen to the voice of your yoga instructor (download an app or find an audio recording or video if you can’t find a yoga studio that offers this practice). Allow your breath to flow naturally in and out of your body.  Do not move your body during the practice. Allow your mind to float from point to point, staying aware without concentrating. Achieve “sleep with a trace of awareness.” These foods contain a harmful type of cholesterol (LDL) that can cause inflammation in the body. This inflammation may also raise your ESR level. In particular, avoid french fries and other fried food, white bread, pastries, soda, red and processed meat, and margarine or lard. These options all form the basis of a healthy diet, along with lean meats like chicken and fish. There are also some specific...

TL;DR in English: Perform vigorous exercise regularly if you’re able to. Use light to moderate exercise as an alternative. Do 30 minutes of yoga nidra each day. Avoid processed, sugary foods. Consume fruits, veggies, nuts, and healthy oils. Add herbs like oregano, cayenne, and basil to your cooking. Drink plenty of fluids each day.

There are literally hundreds of diets and weight-loss schemes on the market promising quick weight loss in short periods of time. These can be unsafe, unhealthy and hard to follow long-term.  Losing weight naturally is better for your overall health and you'll most likely keep your weight off long-term. Remember that there is no magical diet that's going to wipe away those pounds and keep them away once you're done with the diet. True, healthy weight-loss requires a lifestyle change and hard work.  This doesn't mean there aren't good things to be gleaned from certain weight-loss programs. Many of them do emphasize a healthy diet and exercise, but not many of them discuss real and continued lifestyle change. Studies have shown that if you're craving a treat, eating the fat-free, sugar free or "diet" versions may trigger you to eat more.  Many foods that are designed to be "diet-friendly" aren't necessarily lower in calories. In addition, when you take out the sugar or fat from items, companies replace them with highly processed ingredients. Stick to your portion control and eat a small portion of the real deal. So instead of the fat-free, sugar-free ice cream bar, have a 1/2 cup of high quality, real ice cream. You'll be more satisfied in the end.

TL;DR in English: Skip fad diets. Ditch diet foods.

In order to enter into a contract, all parties involved must be legal adults (over the age of 18 in most states), of sound mind, and free of mental incapacity that precludes their understanding the content of the contract.   Some states allow minors to enter contracts with an adult co-signer, and some states may allow emancipated minors to sign their own contracts. Being of sound mind when entering a contract means that a person cannot be legally bound to a contract if she is intoxicated or otherwise impaired. A contract is not legal or enforceable if the goods or services in the contract are illegal. For example, you cannot contract someone into prostitution services in a state in which prostitution is illegal.  Similarly, you cannot have a contract involving the sale of an illegal substance, such as drugs. A contract becomes voidable if someone is coerced, threatened, or blackmailed into signing the contract.  All parties must enter the contract willingly and mindfully for the contract to be legal. Be sure that claims and conditions mentioned in the contract are not fraudulent.  Contracts based on fraudulent premises, whether or not the fraud was intentional, are not legally enforceable. For example, you cannot enter into a contract to sell your boat to your neighbor if you are not the rightful owner of the boat.  Claiming that the boat is yours when it isn’t constitutes fraud, and will void the contract altogether.

TL;DR in English:


The unique marking of a female black widow spider is the bright red hourglass shape on the underneath part of its abdomen.  The female spider has a black and shiny body with a large and round abdomen. The body is about 1 and ½ inches in length, and the entire spider, legs and all, is more than 1 inch across. They have fangs that are a little shorter than those of other spiders, yet still long enough to penetrate human skin. Black widow spiders are reported to be commonly found in the southern and western regions of the United States. Other sources and statistics report frequent sightings as far west as California, all along the eastern seaboard, south to Florida, and north as far as Okanagan in BC and central Alberta in Canada. Black widows like to live outside where there are plenty of flies to feed on; however, they can be found inside structures and shelters.  They prefer undisturbed places such as woodpiles, under simulated rock well covers, the eaves of a house, around fences, and other areas where debris piles up. Watch for black widows in dark, moist, and undisturbed places like meter boxes, under porches, porch furniture, and inside and around barns and sheds. Black widow spiders like to make their webs between objects that are solid and stationary. Some spiders prefer to make their webs in locations that are more flexible, like between shrubbery and tree branches.  The black widow's webs are purposefully made in an irregular shape, not like the typical and sometimes practically perfect webs made by other spiders. The fibers of the web are stronger than those found in most spider webs. They don't prey on human skin. Most bites occur when their webs are disturbed. They are not aggressive but will bite when they feel trapped or are touched. The females have the classic markings and the more potent venom. If you are bitten by a female black widow, then you need prompt medical attention.  The body of a female is usually larger in size than a male black widow spider, however the legs of a male are often...

TL;DR in English: Identify the black widow spider without disturbing it. Spot possible places where they like to live. Try not to disturb the web. Differentiate the males from the females.

Another feng shui suggestion is to go with tan, copper, coral, cream, or similar feeling colors when painting and decorating the room. Light blues and greens work as well to create a feeling of calmness without making the room feel too dark.  Shades of blue are considered the most psychologically calming color to humans. Reds and pinks can promote romance, but they also have a restless feeling to them. Only use these colors for accents or small pieces that can be put away. Quality, organic (where possible) linens are ideal to sleep in. It will increase your desire to go to bed, and it will help prevent you from sweating or itching during sleep.  Choose linen or wool curtains to help with light, noise, and breezes. Make sure they match the color of the room, though. Pay attention to the curtain’s hanging hardware as well. The details and accents should blend cleanly into the environment so as not to draw notice. For example, use silver accents on a lighter colored wall, or if you have dark curtains, you might opt for black or bronze hardware. Plants bring a little piece of nature inside, and they can help clean the air at the same time. The transfer of carbon dioxide into fresh, clean oxygen will make the room feel more peaceful.  Popular zen plants include Bonsai trees, philodendron, Sansevieria, and succulents.  Do not forget to water and provide light per your plant’s instructions. The act of taking care of the plant itself can be a form of meditation. Opt for a plant that does not have a strong odor to it, as well. The extra scent may become distracting when you try to fall asleep. Clutter is chaos, and the same goes with wall-hangings or busy shelves. Instead, put your photos and busier artifacts in a living room to spark conversation.  Shelves to hold your plants or a simple tapestry can be appropriate additions that don’t draw too much attention or unnecessary energy. Do not hang mirrors in the room either. They create active energy that opposes the peaceful feeling of sleep. Hide them in a closet or...

TL;DR in English: Choose earth-tones or light blues and greens when decorating. Pick light and natural fabrics to use. Add a live plant to your room if you get sunlight. Keep decor to a minimum.

It's a series of curving lines in the top-right side of the menu bar. Clicking it will invoke a drop-down menu. If you assigned a name to your router when setting it up, the name will appear here; otherwise, look for your router's brand and/or model number. For example, you might see "Cisco" and a series of numbers and letters for a Cisco router. You'll do so in the text field to the right of the "Password" heading.  If you didn't add a password to your network when setting up the router, the password (called a "Security Key") is on the back or bottom of the router unit. You can also check the "Remember this network" box to sign into this network automatically whenever you're in range. As long as your password is correct, this will connect your Mac to the wireless router.

TL;DR in English: Click the Wi-Fi icon. Click your router's network name. Enter the password. Click OK.

Keep your free hand around 6 inches (15 cm) away from the handle bars so you can easily grab them again when they come back around. Practice while you're standing still when you're first starting out. You'll have an easier time getting the motions down. Spin the handle bars 180 degrees, keeping your right hand on them as you spin them. Make sure you’re reaching under your right hand and not over it. Use your left hand to spin the handle bars this time, holding on to them as you spin them. Both of your hands should now be back on the handlebars in their original positions.

TL;DR in English: Take your left hand off the handle bars as you're riding the scooter. Lift the front wheel off the ground and spin the handle bars clockwise. Reach your left hand under your right hand and grab the handle bars. Release your right hand and spin the handlebars clockwise 180 degrees. Grab the handle bars with your right hand.

Offer to visit the doctor with them, spend quality time with them doing something you both enjoy, and tell them you love them. Showing your love and support will make them more willing to see your point of view and help them understand your desire for healthy boundaries.

TL;DR in English:


Power down your computer. Disconnect the monitor. Ground yourself. Remove your previous graphics card (if necessary). Remove any additional bay covers (if necessary). Insert your new card. Connect the power supply. Close up the case. Connect your monitor to your new graphics card.

There are dozens of options, and they all have different benefits.  Choose one that’s conveniently located and fits your budget. You can get a good photo without shelling out a lot of cash, but of course a professional photographer will offer the highest quality photo. Some places require appointments, so plan ahead. Some options include  shipping centers (in the U.S., this includes Fedex and UPS) places with memberships (such as Costco and AAA) Costco offers some of the cheapest passport photos. AAA will sometimes do it for free if you’ve booked a trip through their travel services.  pharmacies and retail stores (CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Walmart all offer this service) professional photography studios passport offices (many offer this service, but not all, so call ahead) registered passport expediters (if you need it in under two weeks) in your own home (but be sure to follow the strict requirements) Give your hair a little time to get over that fresh cut look by planning a haircut in advance if you need one.  About a week or two should still leave your hair looking neat and tidy by picture time. Of course, if you want the fresh cut look and trust your stylist not to botch it, you can wait until the last minute. If you like to shape your eyebrows, it’s best to do it about a day in advance to get rid of any redness before the photo but not give strays enough time to return. You could also get them waxed if you want to shell out a few bucks for this special occasion.  If you find that the skin around your eyebrows gets red after you pluck them, try applying cool, wet tea bags or a bit of aloe. To prevent dark shadows under your eyes and redness in your eyes, try to get enough sleep for several days before you take your passport photo. This will also help brighten your skin and make you look healthier.

TL;DR in English: Decide where to get your picture taken. Get a haircut about one to two weeks in advance. Pluck your eyebrows if that’s your thing. Get enough sleep.

This is the ideal temperature for keeping meats safely frozen. The refrigerator freezer will work just fine. Avoid freezing large quantities of meat together, as it will slow down freezing process. Separate the pieces or bags to allow the meat to freeze faster. Once the meat is completely frozen, you can rearrange the layout of the freezer. If the meat doesn’t freeze quickly enough, ice crystals can form in the meat. These crystals contribute to freezer burn and to the loss of juices while the meat is thawing out. Your freezer should maintain a temperature of 0 degrees or lower at almost all times in order to keep the meat at its best. If you’re only freezing your meat for a short amount of time (a couple of weeks), it’s okay if the freezer’s temperature fluctuates a little from the door opening and closing. Just be sure to eat the meat quickly.

TL;DR in English: Place the wrapped meat in a freezer set at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Place the meat in the coldest area of freezer. Avoid opening and closing freezer repeatedly.

Douches and feminine sprays are marketed towards women as products that promote cleanliness. The vagina, however, is a self-cleaning part of your body. Stay away from these types of products if you have vaginal dryness, as they can worsen the problem. Plain warm water is enough to clean your vagina. Don’t use soap or other cleansers on the outside or inside of your vagina. Bubble bath, scented soaps and lotions, and laundry detergent can all worsen dryness because they contain harsh chemicals. Use plain, unscented products whenever possible. Try natural laundry detergent, and skip using dryer sheets. Public swimming areas contain high amounts of chlorine, which is very drying to your skin. Avoid spending a lot of time in pools and hot tubs, or at least rinse your vagina well with cool, plain water afterwards. Dehydration can contribute to vaginal dryness, so ensure you stay well hydrated throughout the day. Aim to drink 9 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids daily.  Drink more if you sweat a lot, work out, or live in a hot climate. Water, juice, and tea count towards your fluids. Get regular exercise to help keep your hormones in balance. Aerobic workouts are those that increase your heart rate and breathing rate. Walking, slow jogging, biking, and swimming are good options. Aim to get at least 30 minutes of aerobic activity at least 5 days per week. Omega-3 fatty acids and products like flaxseed oil and soy have estrogen-like qualities, which may help improve vaginal dryness. Eat fatty fish like salmon or mackerel several times per week, and incorporate soy products into your diet. You can also try taking oral probiotics to improve vaginal health. Find these as capsules at your pharmacy, or eat yogurt with live cultures. Nicotine dependence can cause or worsen vaginal dryness. Stop smoking now to help improve your symptoms. Some antidepressants, cold medicine, and allergy pills can dry out mucous membranes – including the sensitive skin in your vagina. Make a list of your medications to take to your doctor. Discuss...

TL;DR in English: Avoid douching and using personal hygiene sprays. Stick to plain, fragrance-free products. Be cautious of hot tubs and swimming pools. Stay hydrated. Exercise regularly. Eat good fats and soy. Quit smoking. Stop taking medications that worsen the condition.

Hold a section of your hair in front of your face and look at the ends to see if you can spot any frayed edges, splits, or small white spots where your hair has split. Once your hair starts to develop split ends, the breakage will travel up the strand of hair until you cut it, so you’ll need at least a trim to fix the problem.  Other signs of damage include dryness, frizz, or a straw-like appearance. The more damage your hair has, the shorter you’ll need to cut it. Fine, straight hair tends to look flat when you wear it long. Choosing a shorter cut will add body, making your hair look fuller and healthier. A layered pixie, choppy bob, or a piecey crop are all great ways to add volume. The shorter your hair is, the more lift it will appear to have. Short hair is low-maintenance, but you have to spend at least a few minutes styling it each day. If you’re the type to rely on a ponytail or a messy bun for days on end, a short hairstyle could be more work than you’re used to.  Short cuts also require more frequent trips to the salon. You’ll need a trim every 4-6 weeks rather than the 3 months or so you can go between trims if you have longer hair. If you already style your hair every day, a short cut can save you time during your daily routine! Of course, whether to cut your hair or not is a highly personal decision, but if you’re facing hair loss, cutting your hair short can make the process easier. Whether it’s due to heredity, chemotherapy, or another condition, short hair can make your hair loss less obvious as you go through the process.   The length you choose is up to you, but a close crop is often popular for people facing hair loss. Avoid shaving your head all the way down with a razor, especially if your hair loss is due to an illness. If you cut yourself while you're shaving, you may be at an increased risk for infection.

TL;DR in English: Examine the ends of your hair for split ends. Opt for a shorter cut if you have thin, limp hair. Leave enough for a ponytail if you don’t style your hair every day. Go for the big chop if you’re facing hair loss.

Make sure that your computer is completely powered down before you work on the inside. Unplug it from the wall once it has been completely powered down. Your monitor is most likely connected to your old graphics card, so disconnect it from the back of your computer before removing the old card. Whenever you work inside of your computer, you should make sure that you're properly grounded. An electrostatic wriststrap attached to the bare metal of the case is the most convenient way to ground yourself when working in a computer. You can also ground yourself by touching a metal water tap with the water running. If you are upgrading, you'll need to remove your old graphics card before installing your new one. If you were using your motherboard's on-board graphics card, you may not have a card to remove.  Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screw that is securing the old card to the case. Unplug any cables connected to the old graphics card. Undo the latch underneath the back end of the old graphics card (PCIe). This latch helps secure the graphics card, so make sure to unlatch it before pulling the old card out. Gently pull the old card directly out of the slot. Pull the old card straight out of the slot. You may have to be firm, but don't force it out. If you can't pull the card out, make sure that the latch has been released and the Phillips screw has been removed from the card's bracket. Many newer graphics cards require two bays on the back of your computer. You may need to remove the protective panel for the next bay if you haven't used it before. These panels usually pop off, though it varies depending on your computer case. Make sure that there aren't any cables obstructing the slot and that none will get stretched underneath the back of the card. Push the card firmly down straight into the PCIe slot until you hear it latch and it is evenly inserted. Secure the card to the case using Phillips-head screws (most cards will come with a couple). Make sure to secure each bracket if the card takes up...

TL;DR in English:


Make recordings of your music to play to venues. Pitch to venues where similar local artists are getting gigs. Offer to perform on a weeknight. Take high pay/low fan gigs to fund your band.

This way, you will be able to bring items in a backpack or bag without it being noticed. Even if you think you don’t have to change, stop by the bathroom anyway.  There’s nothing worse than sitting in class and feeling you’re having an emergency. Menstrual cups can be worn for up to 12 hours, and you don’t have to change them.  All you have to do is empty them. Menstrual cups are great for the environment as well as your hygiene. Most pockets are big enough to fit a pad or tampon. If you come to school with items already hidden on your person, you don’t have to worry about sneaking them out of class. Put on two in the morning and when one is saturated, go the bathroom and peel off the first one and throw it away and presto - fresh pad underneath.  Be careful not to let the adhesive stick too much to the pad underneath, as it might rip off some of the absorbent material.  It’s best to stagger them a bit, with one in front and one in back. If you have pads with wings, you can place the top pad on top of one of the wrappers so you don't have to worry about the two pads sticking together and can have a wrapper to dispose of the top one. Just fold the wings over the wings of the bottom pad and it should stay in place, even with the wrapper on underneath.

TL;DR in English: Go to the bathroom between classes. Use a menstrual cup. Keep hygiene items in your pocket. Layer your pads.

Ask some people you know to take your questionnaire (they will not be included in any results stemming from this questionnaire), and be prepared to revise it if necessary. Plan to include 5-10 people in the pilot testing of your questionnaire. Get their feedback on your questionnaire by asking the following questions:  Was the questionnaire easy to understand? Were there any questions that confused you? Was the questionnaire easy to access? (Especially important if your questionnaire is online). Do you feel the questionnaire was worth your time? Were you comfortable answering the questions asked? Are there any improvements you would make to the questionnaire? You need to determine what is the best way to disseminate your questionnaire. There are several common ways to distribute questionnaires:  Use an online site, such as SurveyMonkey.com. This site allows you to write your own questionnaire with their survey builder, and provides additional options such as the option to buy a target audience and use their analytics to analyze your data.  Consider using the mail. If you mail your survey, always make sure you include a self-addressed stamped envelope so that the respondent can easily mail their responses back. Make sure that your questionnaire will fit inside a standard business envelope. Conduct face-to-face interviews. This can be a good way to ensure that you are reaching your target demographic and can reduce missing information in your questionnaires, as it is more difficult for a respondent to avoid answering a question when you ask it directly. Try using the telephone. While this can be a more time-effective way to collect your data, it can be difficult to get people to respond to telephone questionnaires. Ask your respondents to have the questionnaire completed and returned to you by a certain date to ensure that you have enough time to analyze the results.  Make your deadline reasonable. Giving respondents up to 2 weeks to answer should be more than sufficient. Anything longer and you risk your...

TL;DR in English: Do a pilot study. Disseminate your questionnaire. Include a deadline.

New perspectives in neuroscience are emerging that emphasize the importance of persistently forging and reworking our relationships with others to support functional brain processes. As such, we will likely be unsuccessful at changing our habits without first realizing the degree to which our behaviors are conditioned by, or in some way dependent on, others around us.  If you find that other people are constantly coming to you for advice, but you rarely feel like you have someone to talk to yourself when you’re unhappy, it could be the case that you’ve come to serve the role of nurturer in your group of friends. There’s nothing wrong with helping others, but it’s also necessary to take care of yourself. In fact, sometimes we help others more than ourselves because we’ve gotten used to doing so. Think about why you are inclined to help others and consider the effect it has on you. Work on thinking positively about yourself and your behavior. Fight the urge to be negative by identifying two of your strengths every day.  Make sure that you challenge any unproductive thought that enters your head. If you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts like “I am a loser,” “no one likes me,” and “I can’t do anything right,” stop yourself and challenge the thought. Counter it with productive thoughts, identifying two positive things about yourself. The more that you practice this positive thinking, the easier it will become.  For example, if you catch yourself having a negative thought like, “I am terrible at math,” reframe the thought in a more productive way by saying something like, "I find math challenging, but I am working hard and improving." Sometimes you might feel stuck in a rut, with no idea how to keep going. In these cases, take a deep breath and try to put the present moment in perspective. People too often focus on the negative, which can lead us to ignore good things. Sometimes all that’s required is a change of scenery, or perhaps a disruption in your everyday routine.  If feelings of dread or...

TL;DR in English: Connect with people. Build you up. Find ways to keep moving forward. Be proactive. Focus on the positive. Do things that are hard. Practice speaking up for yourself. Help others.

These products usually come as sprays or powders, and you can often find them at pet shops and garden supply stores. There are numerous scents manufacturers use to drive dogs away, and most products contain natural ingredients. Some of these dog repellants are meant to have a bitter smell that dogs dislike. Others actually smell like the urine of the predators and will thus scare dogs away. Motion-activated sprinklers are not only designed to water your lawn but also to scare off any visiting critters, including dogs, cats, and raccoons. Set these sprinklers up along the perimeter of your lawn or at any specific spot where visiting strays frequently do their business. As the dog passes in front of the sprinkler, the motion will set it the sensors, triggering a quick spray of water. This spray is enough to startle most dogs and send them scurrying away. Nothing keeps animals out quite like a physical barrier. Dogs looking for an easy spot to take care of their business will likely skip over lawns with fences in favor of those without. Make sure you keep the gate of your fence closed and periodically monitor the perimeter for holes dug by stubborn canines. If you already have a fence, check for holes that need to be repaired. It is also possible to purchase electrified fences, but that is an extreme solution. Ultrasonic repellents are also motion-activated. You can mount the mechanism onto a shed, tree, or fence. As the dog approaches, it will trigger the sensors, causing the repellent to emit sonic and ultrasonic sound waves that are intended to bother the dog. It is unclear how well these devices actually work. Until more evidence emerges supporting their efficacy, this should probably be your last resort.

TL;DR in English: Spray a commercial dog repellent. Install a motion-activated sprinkler. Put up a fence. Use an ultrasonic repellent.

You can record the music on your computer or invest in nicer equipment to record with; the important thing is to have samples of your songs so venues can get an idea of what your sound is like. Try to have at least 2-3 tracks recorded before you start pitching. Try to have a digital copy of your songs to send through email and a hard copy (like a CD) to give to venues in person. Venues will be more likely to take a chance on your band if you're the type of act they usually book. Follow similar bands on social media and keep track of where they're performing. Add those venues to the list of venues you want to pitch. For example, if you're in a jazz band, find out what venues other local jazz bands are playing at. Those venues draw a crowd that enjoys jazz, so you'll have a better chance of booking a gig there than at a venue that frequently features alternative rock bands. Don't worry about getting a primetime Saturday-night slot if you're just starting out. Tell venues you're available for any open slots, including weeknights. Not as many bands will be competing for these spots, so you'll have an easier time getting a gig. Don't be afraid to play a paid gig at a birthday party or a wedding to earn some money. Take the money you make from those gigs and use it to pay for the expenses of playing a low pay/high fan gig where you'll get more exposure.

TL;DR in English:
