Know where to build your fort on a cold day. Know where to build your fort on a hot day. Use light blankets and bed sheets for the roof. Put heavy blankets on top of sturdy forts. Use seat cushions for the walls. Put soft, squishy pillows inside the fort. Have an escape plan.

It’s easy to get carried away when pruning, but removing too much of a tree can cripple its ability to bear fruit. Take a good look at your tree before starting, so that you’ll be able to estimate what a 20% pruning should look like. Pruning over the course of several days can also help to keep you in check. Most of the best fruiting sites on a citrus tree lie on the outermost branches. If you cut more than 20% of these, you are cutting prime fruit bearing branches, even if by accident. Take a step back and focus on the overall shape of your tree. Look for branches that are poking out from the canopy in an unsightly or obvious way. Target branches that block your walking path around the tree. On the top of the tree, trim back branches that bend over in a u-shape. Gardeners also call these types of branches “leggy.” If your tree has “legs,” then it has long branches in need of trimming. When branches touch the soil or ground, they can rot or become a superhighway for pests. They also stop air from moving around the trunk, which can cause disease. Trim back low branches until they are at least 3 feet (0.91 m) off the ground.  For low canopy branches, you can sever them at any point. Just make sure that you keep your cuts clean without rough ends. Trim your branches high enough off the ground, so that the leaves will not get wet from water splashes from rain or water sprinklers. Adult wasps like to lay eggs deep inside the new stems of citrus trees. As the larvae grow, a “gall” forms where the stem begins to balloon outwards. Use your shears to snip these branches away from your trees. Gather and burn the branch clippings or place them in a sealed plastic bag.  If you see a number of tiny holes on a gall, the wasps have already come out of the stem. You can still snip off these spots or leave them alone. In most locations, you’ll need to remove these galls prior to the start of August. Pull aside the outer branches and peer into the interior area of the tree. Scan the branches and look for diseased or damaged...

TL;DR in English: Aim to remove 20% of the total canopy. Focus on the long, gangly branches. Remove any low-lying “skirting” branches. Cut out any swollen stems. Cut out any dead or diseased wood. Cut out any wood laying on top of one another. Trim back watershoots in young trees.

Many electric motor failures are caused by bearing failures.  The bearings allow the shaft or rotor assembly to turn freely and smoothly in the frame.  Bearings are located at both ends of the motor which are sometimes called "bell housings" or "end bells". There are several types of bearings used.  Two popular types are brass sleeve bearings and steel ball bearings.  Many have fittings for lubrication while others are permanently lubricated or "maintenance free". To perform a cursory check of the bearings, place the motor on a solid surface and place one hand on the top of the motor, spin the shaft/rotor with the other hand. Closely watch, feel, and listen for any indication of rubbing, scraping, or unevenness of the spinning rotor. The rotor should spin quietly, freely and evenly. A small amount of movement in and out (most household fractional horsepower types should be less than 1/8" or so) is permitted, but the closer to "none" the better. A motor that has bearing-related issues when run will be loud, overheat the bearings, and potentially fail catastrophically.

TL;DR in English: Begin to check the bearings of the motor. Perform a check of the bearings. Next, push and pull the shaft in and out of the frame.

For many people, it might be helpful to put a little distance between them and the friend they kissed. Putting a little distance between you  might give you the strength and the perspective needed to continue the friendship. Make sure to tell your friend that you think a break would be good. If you just stop talking to them or seeing them altogether, they might think that you don't want to be friends anymore. The first thing you should do after the kiss is talk about it. Talking about what happened is the first step in making sure you can maintain your friendship. Ultimately, your discussion will let you both agree upon how you want to act and how you want to proceed.  Share your feelings about what happened. Say something like, "I feel we really need to talk about what happened." Discuss your concerns about what it means for your friendship. Say something like, "I'm worried that the kiss might hurt us as friends." Let each other know if you have deep and sincere feelings that go beyond friendship. If either of you do, it is best to know how the other feels. This way you’ll both move forward as friends with full knowledge of how the other person feels. After you’ve talked about the kiss, you should both come to an agreement about how you want to handle it and move forward. Coming to an agreement will enable you both to know how you should both act.  In your agreement, you should both try to come to an understanding about how you want to move forward as friends. Try to agree upon how you’ll handle the kiss in terms of telling other friends. Try to agree upon how you’ll want to maintain the relationship going forward. Try to establish some boundaries, like no more kisses or less physical contact. While your initial conversation might have solved a lot of problems and set the tone for a continued friendship, one or both of you might still be confused about your relationship. At the same time, one or both of you might still have some feelings for each other. This is why it is essential to continue communication...

TL;DR in English: Take a break if you feel you need one. Talk about it. Come to an agreement. Continue to communicate. Continue being open and honest about your feelings.

An undergraduate degree takes approximately 4 years to finish. When selecting your college, consider the biological science specializations each school has. For example, larger universities may offer a major in botany along with specializations such as plant pathology, agronomy or horticulture. However, a smaller college may have only a general botany major.  Take core requirement courses such as physics, biology, chemistry, plant pathology, horticulture and agronomy. Complete undergraduate electives like math, English and speech, paying close attention to what might be useful in your career path. Complete an internship in botany. The internship helps you gain the experience you need to become a botanist. Many careers in botany require graduate training (at the Master's or doctoral level), but attending graduate school takes some forethought and planning. Don’t rush into it: it is a huge commitment of time and money, and you want to be sure you find the right program for you.  Research graduate school programs and find several you're interested in attending. Consider the programs of study offered, the program's prestige, the location of the school, and the packages available to graduate students (tuition waivers, stipends, health insurance, research opportunities, teaching opportunities, etc.) when narrowing down your choices. If you plan to attend an American university, take and pass the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), a standardized test needed to enter graduate school. The GRE tests verbal and quantitative reasoning and writing skills.  Ask professors for letters of recommendation. Hopefully you established close mentoring relationships with your undergraduate professors and they will be able to attest to your work ethic, interest in plant science, and experience in research to date. Don't ask anyone if you are unsure what type of review they would give you. Complete application requirements such as sending in a letter of intent, application fee, official transcripts and a resume. Graduate school...

TL;DR in English: Earn an undergraduate degree in biological science. Prepare for graduate school. Attend graduate school. Work as a botanist.

Try to find a cozy spot close to a heater. Don't build your fort too close to a window or entrance, because that is where all the cold air comes from. Try to build your fort near a fan or air conditioning unit. You can build your fort near an open window, but only if the window is shady and there is no sun coming in through it. An open window may bring in a cool, fresh breeze, but it can also let the hot sun in! If you can build your fort in a basement, then even better! Basements are nice and cold during the summer, and the floor will keep you cool. Anything too heavy, such as a comforter or a thick blanket will be too heavy and make your fort fall apart. If the base of your fort is made from chairs, tables, or sofas, then you should be able to drape a heavy blanket or comforter without the fort falling apart. Some seat cushions may be strong enough to hold up a heavy blanket or comforter, but they will need to be leaning against something. The cushions that come from the seats of sofas and armchairs make great walls, because they are stiff and shaped like blocks. They can stand up on their own without much help. The pillows that you use to sleep on don't make very good walls, but they are great for sitting on! Use them inside your fort to make things more comfy. Do not build your fort so that it is blocking a door. If something bad happens, you will be in trouble. Blocking doors may keep someone from coming to help you if something happens. It may also keep you from getting out.

That mysterious robot has got to have some secrets. See whether Siri will give them up:  Why did Apple make you, Siri? Are you alive? Are you human? What gender are you? Do you believe in God? Do you have a passion for photography? Siri has dashed the hopes of many iPhone owners, but maybe you'll get lucky:  I think we're going to be great friends, Siri. Do you have a (boyfriend/girlfriend)? I love you. Will you marry me? Talk dirty to me. Siri's a bit shy, so you usually need to ask several times before you get a funny response:  Siri, tell me a joke. Tell me a story. Sing me a song. Tell me a poem. Beatbox for me. Sing Uptown Funk for me! Sure, Siri has told you where to buy gasoline or how to call a friend, but surely she has other wisdom and assistance to offer.  Lend me money, Siri. Where do babies come from? What's the best phone? What is the meaning of life? Does Santa Claus exist? Siri certainly knows the classic sci fi, but you can't trust her. She's probably rooting for the robots.  The blue pill or the red one? Beam me up, Scotty. Open the pod bay doors. You might even find out she knows internet memes, if your version of Siri is recent enough.  What does the fox say, Siri? Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Who let the dogs out? Siri has even more special responses to certain phrases:  Siri, I'm drunk. Do a barrel roll. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? (There are several possible responses to this one.)  Good morning / Good night (at the wrong time of day)  Why are fire trucks red? Do you know Steve Jobs? Siri, what's 0 divided by 0? Do you have any pets? What are you wearing? I’m naked. When will the world end? What are you doing later? What is the best operating system? What is the meaning of life? Do you follow the three laws of robotics? (There are several possible responses to this one too.)  What is ‘Inception’ about? Want to build a snowman?

TL;DR in English: Find out more about Siri. Take your relationship with Siri to the next level. Ask Siri to perform. Ask for help. Reference science fiction films. Reference other popular culture hits. Find even more easter eggs.

Part of healing fast is being proactive and knowing when you need extra help. Reach out to your doctor if you develop a fever or if your wound begins to emit a foul odor. These can be signs of an infection. You should also seek medical attention if your wound becomes more red, painful, swollen, or is draining large amounts of liquid. It’s especially necessary to seek medical attention if the liquid that’s draining out isn’t clear. If you have a mild burn and self-applied dressings, you can check them every 2 days for soiling. If you have a more severe burn and doctor-applied dressings, then you’ll likely need to remove and replace them every 4-7 days. It’s important to keep your dressings as clean and dry as possible to speed up healing. If your doctor prescribes medications, then they are concerned about the possibility of additional illness or infection. If your burn gets infected, it will set back the healing process. That’s why it’s so important to take the full course of any antibiotics or steroids given to you. For example, your doctor might prescribe a common antibiotic, such as oxacillin, to counteract any infections. Or, they might give you steroid pills or a shot to shorten the total healing time. You’ll want to avoid applying most over-the-counter cosmetics or lotions to your burnt skin. However, your doctor may prescribe you a special lotion or suggest a particular brand that you may use to prevent scarring and lessen the itching. You’ll usually need to apply this lotion to your skin around 4 times a day. Move your fingers in a circular motion when applying the lotion to increase coverage and absorbency. With minor burns, wearing loose garments can prevent further irritation to the healing skin. But, with second- and third-degree burns, the healing process may be sped up by wearing a pressure garment. This garment will even out the pressure against your skin and encourage it to heal smoothly, instead of with bumps. Your physical or occupational therapist may order a special, fitted pressure...

TL;DR in English: Know when to see your doctor. Change the dressings as directed by your doctor. Take any antibiotics or steroids as prescribed. Massage the wound with a doctor-approved lotion. Wear any pressure garments as directed for severe burns.

Set your ladder on flat, solid ground so the base doesn't move around while you’re climbing it. Carefully lean the ladder against the side of your home so you’re within reach of the bracket that’s loose or broken. Maintain 3 points of contact on your ladder when you’re climbing it so you don’t fall down.  Have a helper hold the base of the ladder sturdy so it doesn’t slip or fall while you’re climbing it. Don’t stand on the top step of your ladder. Grab the top lip of the bracket that clips over the front edge of the gutter. Pull the top of the bracket toward you until it snaps out of place and the gutter comes loose. Continue unclipping the brackets along the section of your gutter that’s sagging. Some brackets may screw into the front of your gutter. Use a screwdriver to undo the screws before unclipping the brackets. Have a helper climb another ladder at the opposite end of the gutter section to help support it. Grab the front lip of your gutter and pull it straight up to take out the section that’s sagging. Guide the back edge of your gutter underneath the lip of your roof so you don’t bend or break it accidentally. Carefully climb down the ladder at the same time as your helper to lower the gutter down. If you don’t feel comfortable or you have trouble removing the gutter yourself, call a professional service to replace the bracket for you. The old bracket will usually have 2–3 screws attaching it to your fascia board. Use a screwdriver to rotate the screws counterclockwise to loosen them. Keep the screws in your pocket or set them aside where you won’t forget them since you can use them for installing your new bracket. Pull the bracket off of your home once you remove the screws. Continue removing any other brackets that are loose. If the bracket was attached with nails originally, use the back of a claw hammer to pry them out of the wood. Try to get the same brackets you used before, or else they won’t match the rest of your home. Slide the screws through the holes on the replacement bracket and push...

TL;DR in English: Climb your ladder so you can easily reach your gutters. Pull the top of the brackets free from the edge of your gutter. Remove the section of gutter that’s sagging from your roof. Unscrew the old bracket from where the gutter was sagging. Secure the screws on the new bracket into the existing holes in your home. Push the section of the gutter into the brackets until it clicks into place.

If you're convinced that you want to become a monk, you'll be ordained at a specific abbey. It will be necessary to meet the requirements outlined by the abbey in order to be ordained there. In some cases an offer to become ordained must be extended by an elder who has decided you're a good candidate to become a monk. The ceremony will mark your decision to become a Buddhist, and can only be performed by an ordained monk. During this ceremony, the monk will transmit to you the three Jewels and the five Precepts. You will also receive your Buddhist name. If you're following Shin Buddhism, you'll have an affirmation ceremony, rather than an ordination ceremony. The affirmation ceremony serves the same purpose as ordination. If you partook in an ordination ceremony, your teacher will usually be the ordained monk who led the ceremony. You will receive instructions specific to the monastery you are joining. A Bodhisattva is a person who devotes his or her life to the Buddhist way. The vows focus on doing compassionate deeds, striving to benefit every human being and seeking enlightenment. The vows serve as a way for you to embody your highest aspirations. They commit you to a life of selfless service, and you will recite them on a regular basis.

TL;DR in English: Start training at an abbey. Participate in an ordination ceremony. Follow the instructions of your teacher. Take the Bodhisattva Vows.

Turn the box or mold over and allow the soap to fall on a towel or clean surface. You need to use tension to cut soap of this type. You can use a sharp knife, a length of wire with two handles, or heavy nylon string or fishing line. Set the soap on top of parchment paper on a flat surface or a drying rack for two weeks to allow the saponification process to complete and the soap to fully dry. Turn the soap over after two weeks to let it dry on the other side. Let the soap sit, exposed to air for at least one month. When the soap has fully cured, use in your home, as you would any store-bought soap, or wrap as a present for your friends. It will keep indefinitely.

What's a swordsman without an opponent to duel with? If you want, you can repeat the prior steps and make a second sword. It's usually more fun to get a friend to make one of his own however. That way, your duel will be a test of your craftsmanship as well as your duelling skills. Now that you have a sword, you could go the extra mile and make matching armour to boot. Armour may constitute a breastplate, grieves, gauntlets and even a shield. Part of the fun is thinking up ways to transform the cardboard you have into functional pieces of armour, but plenty of fancy designs are available online as well.  Don't forget to decorate your armour! Anything from felt-tipped markers to glued-on construction paper can liven up your cardboard and bring the armour to life. If you're tired of working with cardboard, you can make great looking armour sets using crafts foam. Duelling is possibly the most enjoyable part of having a sword. It allows you to put your sword design to the test. If your friend has a cardboard sword of his own, you should lay down some quick ground rules and jump into it. Duels are most enjoyable when there are rules of how to win. Going in blindly usually results in the swords being swung as hard as possible and getting broken within the first couple of minutes.  Bear in mind that the swords are relatively fragile when compared to real swords, and they should be used with that in mind. Start a cardboard fighting group if the idea interests you enough. There are already groups in existence where people meet up and play fight with cardboard weapons. Instead of starting one of your own with friends, you can look online to see if there's already a group in your city. Working some kind of live-action roleplaying (or LARPing) into the game can be fun if you're interested in fantasy or Medieval history. Cardboard swords are perfect for use in costumes and events like Halloween. Even if you have a costume in mind that doesn't necessarily befit a sword, feel free to mix and match ideas. You might be...

TL;DR in English: Get a friend to make a sword. Make cardboard armour. Duel with a friend. Apply your sword to a costume. Develop an improved sword design.

Meat tenderizer powder, sold in grocery stores, can break down the proteins found in blood stains. While it is recommended by some silk experts, meat tenderizer does have the potential to break down silk and wool fibres as well. Test this method on a small corner of these fabrics first, to see if damage occurs. Put about 15 mL (1 tbsp) unseasoned meat tenderizer into a small bowl. Gradually add water while stirring until a thick paste is formed. Do not use seasoned meat tenderizer, as the seasonings may stain your fabric. Spread the paste on the dried blood stain and gently rub it with your fingers. Let it sit for about an hour. After the hours is up, rinse the paste out with cold water. Wash the fabric as usual, but air dry rather than using a drier, since the heat can cause remnants of the stain to set permanently.

TL;DR in English: Use this on any fabric, but cautiously on silk and wool. Wet unseasoned meat tenderizer. Rub the paste gently into the fabric. Rinse out the paste before washing.

Expect clean water alone to get the job done most of the time. Save yourself the time and money and use chemical cleaners only when absolutely necessary. Expect these to leave behind streaks and film if you don’t thoroughly rinse them off. Rinsing your roof with water at least once a year should reduce the need for using chemical cleaners. Don’t expect a simple splash of water to accomplish much. Use pressurized water to blast dirt away. For a light job, start by using your garden hose and a wand or spray nozzle attachment and see if its jet setting is strong enough to work. If not, rent or invest in a power washer and use that instead. Avoid stepping directly onto dirt, grime, and debris. Treat any material other than the roof itself as unstable. Before climbing onto or advancing along your roof, use your hose or power washer to clear a path for yourself to reduce the chance of slipping. If you have to first clear a path in order to attach safety lines and other gear to the roof, wait until the washed path has dried before climbing onto the roof. Make washing easier by cleaning the highest points first so the dirty runoff flows over yet-to-cleaned sections. Continue blasting dirt and debris by advancing downward along the roof’s slope while steadily pushing dirt and debris down toward its edge. However: Roof designs vary greatly, so don’t treat this as an absolute must. If your roof is particularly steep and/or has sections well out of reach, always opt for safety and hose it down from a lower, safer point. Don’t rush the job. Opt for a slow and steady approach to ensure safety. Advance along your roof at a safe pace while minding your footing at all times to minimize the risk of slipping.

TL;DR in English: Favor using plain water over chemical cleaners. Use pressure. Clear a path first. Start from the top if possible and blast downward. Work slowly and patiently.

When the moment is right, ask your parents if they are available to talk. You should take advantage of a quiet and private area. Try sitting down instead of standing, as the conversation may take a while. Approach your parents confidently and seriously. Don’t act silly or upset. Your parents will be more likely to react positively if you display the right behavior. Get straight to the point. Don’t build up the conversation by trying to pad the situation in your favour. For example, you can say something like "I got a bad grade," or "I'm very sorry, but I didn't do very well on a quiz/test/exam.” Don't make excuses. It might seem easier to be dishonest about your grade, or make excuses about it. Dishonesty and excuses will not benefit you because they do not change your grade. Your parents will appreciate and acknowledge the fact that you were straight and honest with them. There is a difference between excuses and legitimate reasons for a bad grade. Differentiate the two. An excuse is, “My teacher made the test too hard.” A reason is “I didn’t understand the material.” Be direct with a simple statement at first, but your parents will probably want an explanation. Stay honest when you explain to them what happened. If you didn’t study, tell them. If you tried your best, but still failed, tell them.  Something you could say is “I had a hard time understanding the material,” or “I didn’t study for the test, which led to me doing poorly on it.” Be honest with yourself about why you made a bad grade. Don’t convince that it wasn’t your fault if it was. If accurate, tell them about how you know you should have studied more. That will show them that you've learned from your mistake. Lay out the plan you've made, and tell them how you plan to improve in the future. Show them comments from your teacher, your study plan, or tell them how you will avoid distractions.  Tell your parents that you will make effort to do things like set up a meeting with your teacher, turn off your phone and television while studying, and...

Let it sit out until the temperature of the water is roughly the same as the room's temperature. You can use your finger to test the water's temperature.  The time it takes your water to cool depends on how hot or cold it was when you poured it. Room temperature water tends to mix better with ginger and lemon. Pour the lemon juice from earlier into your glass of water. Use a spoon to stir the mixture until the lemon juice is thoroughly mixed in. Pour the grated ginger into your water. Use a spoon to mix the ginger until you have an even mixture. You can now drink your ginger water. If you want to cool your beverage, you can add ice. Ginger water generally lasts for about a day after mixing. If you don't finish your water right away, store it in the fridge overnight.

The most satisfying careers are the ones that make the best use of your natural skills and talents. If you’re a great public speaker and you really enjoy giving presentations, you are squandering that talent by coding programs at a desk. Maybe you could combine both aptitudes by becoming a teacher! Be aware that your career strengths are different from the skill strengths that make you happy. Some questions that might help you suss out your strengths are:[[Image:Know What You Want in Life Step 5.jpg|center];  Do you work best alone, with a partner, or as part of a larger team? Do you work best when you’re assigned tasks or when you get to lead your own projects? Although not everybody can have a career in something they’re absolutely crazy about, most people should be able to match up interests and careers to some degree. There are many tests you can take to figure out what kinds of jobs are best matched to your interests. Some people can’t stand the idea of working every day from 9-5 in an office setting. If you crave the flexibility to work at your own pace, during your own work hours, and from a setting of your choosing, maybe freelance or contract work appeals to you. Others might not see themselves following the constantly shifting schedule of a university professor with its attendant ever-changing focus. Instead, they might flourish in a setting with stability and the sameness of a 9-5 workday filled with well-known, repeating duties.  Ask yourself what kind of schedule would work best with your work habits. Don’t choose freelance work if you slack off and lose focus easily! Note that freelance and contract work is less stable than regular office work and usually does not offer benefits. Although you shouldn’t ever choose a career just for the money, you also don’t want to labor away without ever making enough money to support yourself and your family. Calculate a budget to determine how much money you’ll need to maintain your family at a level of comfort that’s acceptable.  Search online for average...

Many people can recover spontaneously, although it usually will take longer to recover without treatment.  You should take into consideration any pre-existing conditions that can increase possible damage to your long term health.  Pregnant women with leptospirosis infection have a higher infant mortality rate. Unborn babies can become infected in utero. Heart conditions, respiratory problems, or liver or kidney damage may be worsened if the infection develops into the second stage. For most people, the symptoms of leptospirosis will be mild, and the recovery period fairly short.  However, should your infection develop into the second stage, symptoms could have major health impacts or even be life-threatening.  Treatment can protect you from the more severe stage of infection.  With treatment, infection and symptoms may last for a few days or for 3 weeks or longer. Without treatment recovery may take several months. Some people may be completely recovered after the initial infection, but some may not.  Your doctor should monitor you during recovery, and for any return of infection symptoms. You may need to extend or change your course of antibiotic treatment if the infection is not responding to the medication. Antibiotics like doxycycline or azithromycin may be prescribed for milder, first phase infections. Doxycycline should not be used in the pregnant patient, this can cause liver problems and affect the development of the teeth in the unborn infant. For severe cases of infection and second phase infection, treatment may include hospital care for intravenous antibiotics (penicillin, doxycycline, ceftriaxone, and cefotaxime) and rehydration treatments as well as antibiotics in pill or liquid forms.

TL;DR in English: Take your overall health into consideration. Start treatment quickly. Contact your doctor if symptoms return. Take prescribed antibiotics as directed. Discuss possible hospital care with your doctor.

Like any new business, you will need a niche to get started and find new customers. Look for groups of people who aren’t being served well by existing mortgage companies. Try to figure out if you have some way to reach out to them and help resolve their issues in applying for a mortgage. Make sure you abide by the rules set by the Equal Opportunity Council. . If you are going into business independently, you will need a plan to help establish your structure and explain your goals to potential investors and employees. Describe the market you intend to reach and how you plan to target them. As the mortgage business is pretty crowded, you will want to identify how you intend to create and fill a niche in the market in the face of stiff competition. You can rent, lease or buy office space. You will want to find a place that is easily accessible to your clients. You may also need to purchase office supplies as well as equipment such as a fax machine, an office computer, a phone, and Internet access. Some states require you to have a physical (or brick-and-mortar) office location to register in the state. Make sure you know the laws of your state before registering. Every state has a different office and requirements for registering a new mortgage company. In New York, for example, the NLMS will go through the Department of Financial Services, and require documentation such as a credit report, $10,000 surety bond, business plan, and other documents involving awareness of legal specifications. Many states do registration through the NLMS, so if you are in the system, you’ve already got a head-start.

It's the first house to the east of the Pokémon Center after you jump off the ledge. Talk to the Warden and he'll reward you with "HM04 Strength." Strength lets you move boulders in your way (such as caves, etc.).

TL;DR in English: Go to Zone Four in the Safari Zone. Find the Gold Teeth. Go into the Warden's house.

News outlets that are known to be polarizing and prone to exaggerating are more likely to share skewed or inaccurate stories. You might tell your friends and family: "If a website shows obvious political leanings, you might not be able to trust it. Try getting your news from more neutral outlets, and always check more than one source.” If you see fake news stories coming across in your social media stream, look at who is reposting them. It might be worth giving your friends and family a gentle reminder about reading things through. You might say: "It can be kind of embarrassing to post fake news stories, plus it can lessen your credibility in the future. It really is a good idea to read an entire article before you share it.” It can help to have a discussion about how to spot fake news with your friends and family. Outline some tips for catching shady or flat-out untrue articles. You might encourage your friends and family to ask themselves the following questions: When did this story take place? Where did this story take place? Who is reporting the story? Who might benefit from this story?

TL;DR in English: Encourage friends and family to avoid inflammatory news outlets. Ask friends and family to read full articles before reposting. Teach friends and family how to identify fake news.

Take note of when you can't get your mind off of the person. You might want to check their social media profiles, or get the urge to call or text them. Call yourself out, and tell yourself that you have the power to redirect your thoughts.  Tell yourself, “These are obsessive thoughts,” or “I’m acting obsessively.” Say, “These thoughts don’t control me; I control them.” Sometimes, obsessive thoughts and actions can go unnoticed, or they might even feel good. Trying to pretend they don’t exist won’t do you any good. Instead, recognize them, acknowledge that you have better things to do, and remind yourself that you can manage them. Obsession, like addiction, can sometimes be a symptom of a larger need or problem in your life. Consider if there is something missing in your life that you thought this person could provide. See if there is another way you can find what you need.  Write down what this person makes you feel when you are with them. Think about how you feel when they are gone. Consider what might be causing these feelings in your life. For example, you might discover that you are afraid of being lonely. If this is the case, consider joining a class or club to meet new people. Notice when and where you start to think or act obsessively. It might be difficult, especially at first, but do your best to resist obsessive urges when you face a trigger. If you can’t remove yourself from the trigger, focus on controlling your response to it.  For instance, if you constantly check the person’s social media profiles or get the urge to text them, getting rid of your phone or computer isn’t practical. Instead, you could use features that remove their posts from your newsfeed or unfollow them. If you’re obsessing over your ex, give them their stuff back and try to keep things that remind you of them out of sight and out of mind.  If you can’t avoid being around the person, try to keep your distance. If they sit next to you at school, try to avoid eye contact and imagine they’re someone else. Try to focus on your...

TL;DR in English: Identify your obsessive thoughts and behaviors. Determine if there are any underlying factors causing your obsession. Try to avoid things that trigger your obsession. Focus on the details of your present surroundings. Visualize intrusive thoughts leaving your mind. Develop a ritual that reminds you to stop obsessing.

You probably don’t want to quit right before finals or when you’ve got a big deadline coming up. Find a time when you can have a full week without extra responsibilities. Mark  your calendar so that you stay accountable to yourself.   If you are always busy and can’t find a low-stress week, you may need to wean yourself off, instead of quitting cold turkey. Vacation can be a great time to quit coffee. You’ll be away from your routines and have time to rest. Let them know you may be a bit sluggish for a few days. Some people become a little absent-minded or grouchy when they first quit drinking coffee. If they know you’re in the process of detoxing, they won’t take it personally.  If other people in your household drink coffee, ask if they can avoid making or drinking it around you. Your family can help you stay on track. Ask for their support. Tell them that if your resolve weakens, they should encourage you to stay away from coffee. You don’t want your coworkers to think you’ve suddenly lost your work ethic, but you may be moving slowly for a few days. Tell your coworkers (and even your boss) that you’re in the process of quitting coffee. They’ll likely understand and be sympathetic.  If your workplace offers free coffee throughout the day (for example, if you work in a restaurant or a busy office) let your coworkers know that you’ll be avoiding it. Bring something with you to replace coffee you would otherwise be drinking. Seltzer water or lemon water is great to sip on throughout the day and keeps you hydrated. Caffeine withdrawal often causes headaches for anywhere from one to three days. Take pain relievers as needed to get through the headaches. Make sure to drink plenty of water with them as well. Always check the labels of pain relievers. Some contain caffeine, which won’t help you in your plan to quit coffee! Protein provides a gentle energy boost throughout the day. Meals high in carbohydrates can make you sleepy. When carbs lower your energy level, you’ll be tempted to reach for the coffee as a...

TL;DR in English: Choose a good time. Tell your family that you’re quitting. Let everyone at work know. Keep pain relievers handy. Eat a high protein diet. Avoid triggers. Nap when you need to.

Did you not study? Did you get in a fight with your parents?  Understanding why you failed can help you prepare for a retake. Think about how much of this information you're willing to share with your teacher. They may ask the reason for the retake, and you should be honest. If it's personal, you can make general allusions: "family problems," or "a difficult personal period." It's unlikely your teacher will pry. If you have the test with you, look through your work and the teacher's comments, if any. Are your mistakes clear to you? Jot down any questions you might have. If it was a simple matter of not studying, then you can solve the issue easily. Some circumstances may need a little more attention. Before you talk to your teacher, you should have a plan for what you can do to succeed on the retake.  If you're distracted by a personal issue, be proactive about dealing with what's bothering you. Failing one test because of it is a sign that it might be affecting your other academic work, not to mention making you unhappy. Talking to friends or your school guidance counselor might help. If you're struggling with the material, now's the time to find a tutor who can help you better understand it. Your teacher might want to give you the test again within a day or two, so be ready. If you think you're going to need more time, but want to talk to the teacher as soon as possible, be prepared to tell the teacher when you expect you'll be able to retake the test.

TL;DR in English:


Don’t twist or pick at the piercing while it’s healing. Keep hairspray, lotion, and other products away from the piercing. Avoid swimming until the piercing has healed. Clean your phone and any other objects that touch your ear. Try to avoid sleeping on the piercing.

Now that you've stopped comparing yourself to other people, let's focus on what you have going for you. Channel your energy into your good qualities, so you become better and better at what you do and who you are. When you're focused on perfecting that cello song or writing an amazing thesis, there's not time to worry about what other people are doing.  When you find your mind drifting to the realm of what you don't have, make a conscious effort to think about what you do have. Do this every single time you feel those pangs of envy. If you refuse to let your mind dwell, and focus instead on what makes you special and great, you'll start having a much more positive outlook. Realize that not everyone has what you have - in fact, your talents and assets might even be the source of others' envy. Imagine the people who care about you and would do anything for you, and think about what you'd do for them. Focusing on the people who make your life feel full is a positive way to cancel out feelings of envy. Instead of thinking that your life is lacking something, be thankful for the people who are there. Being grateful is a lot like being  mindful. It's about focusing on the present and turning your thoughts to what is already good in your life, instead of thinking about what's lacking. It's important to know what you can change and what is beyond your control. Spend energy working to improve the former and don't waste your time on the latter, because there's nothing you can do about it. If you dwell on things you can't change, you'll end up feeling extremely negative, and maybe even becoming depressed. You have a finite amount of time to spend, and you don't want to waste it on something that's not going to budge.  For example, if you wish you had your friend's musical talent, and you want nothing more than to be a singer-songwriter, try your best to become what you want to be. Pour your soul into making music, take voice lessons, perform at open mic nights - give it all you've got. If you think you have a shot at...

TL;DR in English: Focus on your talents and assets. Be thankful for your loved ones. Change what you can change, accept what you can't. Spend time with grateful people.

You can also paint some white cardstock using red, brown, or orange paint. This will give you a streaked, fur-like texture.  If you can't find cardstock, you can also use construction paper. Cardstock will simply give you more support. If you already have a mask at home that fits you, you can trace it onto the cardstock, cut it out, then skip to the next section. Place the paper widthwise across your face, from temple to temple. Gently feel where your eyes are through the paper. Lightly mark the spots on the paper with a pen or pencil, then lift the paper away. Set the paper down on a flat surface. Draw two almond shapes where your made the eye marks. Next, draw a basic mask shape around the eyes. The mask will cover the forehead, eyes, and part of the nose bridge. It should look a little like a peanut or jellybean. You can look up a template online, use an existing mask, or freehand it. Start with the outside shape first. Next, poke a hole in each eye, then cut the eyes out. If you want the mask to be more symmetrical, fold the paper in half first, then cut along one of the lines that you drew. When you unfold the mask, it will be symmetrical . Cut a piece of thin elastic. Tie a knot in each end. Staple each end of the elastic to each side of the mask. Make sure that the knot is inside the mask so that it holds. If you can't find thin elastic, do the following:  Punch a hole and each side of the mask. Cut two long pieces of ribbon. Tie a ribbon to each hole. Use the ribbons to tie the mask on the back of your head.

TL;DR in English: Get a sheet of red, brown, or orange cardstock. Figure out where your eyes will go. Refine the mask shape. Cut the mask out. Attach some elastic so that you can wear the mask.

Windows that face south or southwest are usually best, but you can also choose windows that face east or west. A kitchen window with a good-size ledge that gets four hours of sunlight per day is ideal, since it also keeps your herbs out of the way and reduces the chance that they'll fall. If the pots don't have a place for excess water to drain, you risk flooding and drowning your herbs. You can find pots specifically for herbs at most home improvement and gardening stores or online. Don't use clay pots for indoor herb gardens. They can dry out quickly, and if you're growing your herbs indoors in winter, they can ruin the soil and your herbs. Some herb pots will come with drain pans to catch excess water. If the pots you choose don't, you can use saucers or liners to catch the water and protect the surface of your windowsill. The indoor mixes will have all of the nutrients your herbs need, without you having to add compost or fertilizer.  Fill the pots with the potting mix, leaving about 1 in (2.5 cm) between the top of the soil and the rim of the pot. Don't press down on the soil – your herbs' roots will need plenty of room to put down roots. Once your pots are prepared, plant one seedling per pot. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball of the seedling, then place it in the pot and tap down the soil at the top to compact it. If you're planting from seeds, follow the instructions on the packets for planting. How many seeds and how deep they should be planted in the pot will vary from herb to herb. Once you've got the seeds or seedlings planted, water the pot until you see water come out of the bottom. Then place the pots on the liner or saucer in your window. If you touch the soil around your potted herbs and it's dry, you need to water. You should pour water over the soil until it starts to come out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Indoor herbs may not grow as quickly or as tall as herbs planted outside. However, once your herbs have reached 4 in (10 cm) tall, you can start harvesting them. Use a...

TL;DR in English: Choose a sunny spot with at least four hours of sun per day. Use glazed or plastic pots with good drainage. Place the pots on a saucer to collect water. Fill your pots with an indoor potting mix. Place a different seed or seedling type in each pot. Water each pot and place them in the window. Check the moisture level each day and water as necessary. Harvest the plant after it's grown to at least 4 in (10 cm).

Harsh soaps will strip the natural oils from your skin, making it more vulnerable to drying out and this can make your winter eczema worse. Wash yourself with plain water and use a mild soap to clean yourself. This might be hard to do on cold winter days, but it will prevent your skin from becoming waterlogged.  Try to restrict the length of showers and baths to less than 15 minutes. Rub in almond oil while you are still wet (at least in trouble spots). Dry yourself thoroughly. Shower promptly after exercise to prevent sweat from irritating your eczema. People who have eczema are often highly sensitive to strong soaps and exposure may bring on an outbreak. Add thick lotion before putting the gloves on.  Avoid contact with:  Solvents Cleaners Dish soaps Detergents Consider whether your eczema is worse when you are exposed to environmental irritants, such as dust and cigarette smoke. Because you spend more time indoors in winter, you may be more exposed to these irritants more often. Try to reduce your exposure to environmental irritants as much as possible. Eczema is related to allergies, so you may want to consider eliminating foods that you are allergic to. You can ask your doctor to test you for allergies if you are not sure if you have any allergies. Foods that may irritate your eczema include:  Eggs Milk Peanuts Soybeans Fish Wheat Avoid sudden changes in heat and humidity. If the weather is changing dramatically, stay inside as much as possible to give your skin a chance to adjust. If the weather suddenly gets very dry, try using a humidifier in your house to moisten the air. Loose clothing will allow your skin to breathe. Dress warmly in winter and protect your skin from drying winter winds.  Avoid scratchy wool. Wear cool clothing that breathes well during exercise. Stress may make you more prone to eczema. By reducing your stress, you can promote healing for existing patches and reduce the likelihood of it flaring up. Excellent ways to reduce stress include:  Getting 8 hours of sleep each night. This...

TL;DR in English: Choose gentle, non-irritating soaps. Take short showers with water that is warm, not hot. Wear rubber gloves when cleaning. Watch for environmental irritants. Determine whether certain foods may make your eczema worse. Try to maintain a stable indoor environment. Wear clothing that won’t scratch or irritate your skin. Reduce stress.

Playing with the earring could irritate the piercing and prevent healing. Additionally, germs from your hands could lead to infection.  Remember not to pick at any crusty residue that builds up around the piercing. It can take up to 6 months for a daith piercing to heal. Do your best not to get shampoo into the piercing when you wash your hair. If you have long hair, wear it up as much as possible to keep hair products out of the piercing. Avoid using hairspray; if you do, don’t spray it near the piercing. Beauty and cosmetic products can cause irritation and block air circulation, which can interfere with the healing process. It’s especially important to avoid submerging the piercing in pools, lakes, and hot tubs. Bacteria in these bodies of water can lead to infection.  Bathtubs can also harbor bacteria, so take showers instead of baths while the piercing is healing. If you do go swimming, cover the piercing with a wound-sealing waterproof bandage, which you can purchase at your local pharmacy. Wipe your phone, earphones, and other objects that come into contact with your ear daily with sanitizing pads. Try to limit your use of earphones, and hold your phone to your other ear whenever possible. If you wear glasses, clean the parts that slip over your ears at least daily. It’s also wise to cover your pillow with a clean tee shirt. That way, if you do sleep on the piercing, it’ll be touching a clean surface.  If you can’t get comfortable in any position other than on your side, try sleeping on a neck pillow. Sleep on your side with your ear in the neck pillow’s opening to protect the piercing from pressure and friction. Additionally, wash your bedding weekly. Dirty sheets and pillowcases can lead to infection.

TL;DR in English:

Apply pressure to a pressure point if the bleeding does not stop. Help the injured person lie down, if the injury permits. Apply more dressing to the wound, if necessary. Use a tourniquet only if you have proper training. Keep calm. Get the injured person proper medical attention.

Being present will lead to greater authenticity because you'll be able to fully focus on the experiences, conversations, and interactions you're having in the present moment. The people you're engaging with will be able to tell you're engaged and present, and will perceive this as a sign of personal authenticity. On the other hand, inauthentic people are inclined to let their minds wander during interpersonal interactions. In interpersonal settings, this behavior can be perceived as insincere or rude. Intuition is the inner voice or gut reaction which helps you make decisions and informs your behavior. In terms of ethical decisions, your personal intuition can also form a “moral compass” to help guide you in making personal decisions. Following your intuition will help you make consistent decisions and act in a stable way, rather than making decisions based on what you perceive to be popular opinion or social expectation. your thoughts and feelings. Talk about your opinion when it matters to you. Authentic people are comfortable speaking their mind and communicating when they have a problem or are appreciative of something. If you feel inhibited to speak your mind, or realize that you frequently only say what you think those around you expect to hear, you're likely behaving in-authentically. For example, express gratitude to those around you. Try saying something like, “Mom and Dad, I wanted to say thank you for helping me with my car payments last month. I know money is tight, but the extra cash made a big difference for me.” Genuine people accept that they aren't perfect and ask for help when needed. Authenticity is not the same thing as perfection. Asking those around you for help is a sign of humility and authenticity, and shows that you respect the skills and talents of the people in your life.  For example, if you've been struggling with your mental health and a friend is a professional counselor, ask them if they can recommend an associate who you can contact for counseling or therapy. Or, if you have...

TL;DR in English: Be fully present in whatever circumstances you find yourself. Trust your intuition when it comes to behavior and relationships. Express Ask people for help when you need it. Be vulnerable.

Do your research beforehand to make sure your chosen flowers are safe for soap making. A good rule of thumb is that if they're safe to eat, they're likely safe to put on your skin as well.   Dried flower petals can look pretty in handmade soaps. Try hibiscus, rose, lavender, chamomile, goldenrod, and calendula.  Try using dried plants such as eucalyptus leaves or dried citrus peels to add fragrance and color to your soap. Steer clear from non-edible and toxic flowers like dahlias, oleanders, foxgloves, or lily of the valley. If you're not sure about the safety of a particular plant, research it online or refer to a botanical safety guidebook. Fresh herbs, flowers, fruits, and leaves can lead to mold and bacteria. Avoid using fresh plants to keep your soap safe, sanitary, and long-lasting. The only plants you should try fresh are lavender, rosemary, and thyme. The leaves of these herbs are pretty dry to begin with, and they can look attractive when used whole at the top of the soap. Avoid mixing them into the liquid glycerin, though.

TL;DR in English: Use only safe, edible flowers and plants in your soap. Refrain from adding fresh plant elements to your soap.

To make a falafel plate, serve the warm falafel with hummus, tzatziki, and olives. If you'd like to make a falafel sandwich, stuff a pita with falafel and sliced vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Then drizzle the falafel with tahini or tzatziki. Store leftover falafel in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 3 to 4 days. Keep in mind that the falafel will become soft as it's stored.

TL;DR in English: Serve the warm falafel.

Sometimes you might get lazy and let garbage or unnecessary stuff pile up around your room. Get a garbage bag and go around your room. Put everything that you could throw away in there.  It can be very helpful to have a little garbage can in your room for you to throw things away into. Make sure you clean it out when it gets full. Not only will this make your room less cluttered, but garbage also attracts bugs and other pests. Plus it smells. Getting rid of it will make your room smell better. You can use an old rag, or a nicer wipe, and wipe all the dust off the top of your furniture. You’ll probably find a lot of dust on places like nightstands, dressers, and your desk if you have one. Make your bed. Clear off everything that isn’t your sheets and blanket. Tuck your sheets under the corners with “hospital corners” for a neat look. Place your blanket on top and smooth it down, then fold down the top of the blanket and sheet down. Then you can put back on your pillows or anything else you like to keep on your bed.  A good time to make your bed is first thing in the morning. That way you will remember to do it right away. Also, it will make sure that the only time your bed isn’t made is when you are sleeping in it.  Your bedsheets should be washed every couple of weeks, so make sure to strip your bed when your parents ask to make sure they stay clean. You always want to keep your clothes neat so they will look good when you wear them, and so you know where they are. If you have clothes lying around the room, sort them into clean clothes and laundry. That will help decide where they go next.  If your clothes are clean,  fold them and hang them up in the closet or put them back in the dresser where they belong. If your clothes are dirty, gather them up, and take them to the laundry room. If your parents let you, you can even do the laundry, and clean your clothes yourself. Just make sure to check with them first. Once they are clean, fold them and put them away properly in your room. If you have items lying...

A pressure point is a location where you can squeeze an artery against a bone, which can slow the flow of blood. There are two major pressure points on the body; choose the one nearest the site of the wound.  If the bleeding is near a leg, press and hold against the femoral artery in the groin, where the leg bends at the hip. If the bleeding is near an arm, press and hold against the brachial artery, along the inside of the upper arm. Cover the injured person with a blanket or similar material to keep in body heat. Resting the injured person can help prevent him or her from going into shock. Don't remove the cloth covering the wound even if it soaks through with blood, as this can make the bleeding worse. You can place another layer of cloth or bandage over the soaked one. The important thing is to keep applying pressure. If bleeding does not stop, even after prolonged pressure, you may need to make a tourniquet. Because there are severe dangers from incorrectly placing or applying a tourniquet, you should only use one if you've been trained to do so.  An easy-to-use combat tourniquet is now available for civilian purchase. If you can get one, buy a Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT) and learn how to use it. When paramedics or other help arrives, let them know how long the tourniquet has been in place. Dealing with severe bleeding can be shocking and stressful. While you wait for medical help to arrive, calm yourself by focusing on the steps necessary to stop the bleeding. Calm the injured person by talking to him or her, and giving assurance that help is on the way. If you're waiting for an ambulance, continue to stay with the injured person. Keep applying pressure to the wound. Or, if the bleeding has stopped and help is not on the way, try to get the injured person to the emergency room as quickly as you can.  Remember, if you must move the injured person yourself, immobilize the wound site. If possible, wait until after the bleeding has stopped to move the person. Don't remove any bandages before taking...

TL;DR in English:


Dab a little spit on the nib to lubricate the ball. Try acetone if alcohol doesn’t work.

Mark the point on the wall where you want to drill using a soft pencil with a small dot or cross. Place your drill on the mark and drill briefly, using a low speed (if your machine has speed control) or in short bursts (if it doesn't). Make a shallow hole (⅛ to ¼ inches / 3 to 6 mm) to help guide your drill for the real hole. If the project requires a large diameter drill bit, consider using a smaller drill bit for the pilot hole. This will increase the drill's stability. Turn on the hammer function if your drill has one. Place the drill in the pilot hole, keeping it exactly perpendicular to the concrete surface. Start drilling with firm, but not forceful, pressure to push the drill forward. Gradually increase the drill speed and force if necessary, but make sure the drill is stable and under your control at all times. Concrete is not a homogenous material, and the drill bit can easily skate if it hits an air pocket or pebble. Apply enough pressure to hold the drill in place, but do not force it forward (this increases wear on the bit and can even break it). You will learn the right amount of pressure from practice. Bring the drill back slightly and press it back in again every ten or twenty seconds. This helps pull dust out of the hole.  Occasionally stop the drill and pull it out to let it cool for a few seconds. This is especially important for ordinary rotary drills, since they can easily overheat during a lengthy drilling process. You may feel a little bit of recoil and kick from the drill. Sometimes, a drill does not go as expected. If you hit an especially hard piece of concrete, insert a masonry nail into the hole and hammer it in to break up the concrete. Take care not to drive the nail too deep to easily remove. Insert your drill back and continue drilling. If you see sparks or see metal, you have hit rebar. Stop drilling immediately and switch to a rebar-cutting drill bit until you are past the obstruction. Removing dust improves the strength of concrete anchors. Use a squeeze bulb or can of...

TL;DR in English: Mark the drilling spot. Drill a pilot hole. Continue drilling with more power. Pull the drill out periodically. Break through obstructions with a masonry nail. Blow out the dust.

If you’re hosting a very formal dinner, spread a floor-length tablecloth over the entire table. Lay a placemat at each seat, keeping the edge of the placemat one inch from the edge of the table. Choose tablecloth and placemat colors that complement the plates and dining room. When in doubt, use a white tablecloth and simple white place settings. A charger plate is a decorative plate for the other plates to rest on. Place the charger plate on the bottom center of the placemat. The napkin should be folded neatly and placed on the charger plate or rolled into a napkin ring and set to the left of the placemat.  These plates are decorative and therefore optional. However, many people believe that a table looks empty between courses if a charger plate isn’t used.  Never serve food directly on the charger plate. Always arrange the plates in order of use. For example, if you were serving a soup, salad, and entrée, you would first place the main entrée plate on the charger. Next, you lay down a salad plate, followed by a soup bowl. Each piece of plates will be cleared away after use.  If you’re serving more than three courses, have each plate brought out and then cleared away after the course to save space. Wait to clear the charger plate until it’s time to clear the entrée plate. If you’re serving dinner rolls, set an appetizer plate over the forks and place a butter knife on top. If you’re serving coffee after dinner, you can either bring the cup and saucer out with dessert or set to the right of the spoons at the beginning of the meal. Similarly, the dessert plate can be brought out with dessert or placed above the plate on the tablecloth. The forks go to the left of the plate and the spoons and knives go to the right. Arrange the silverware outside-in, with the utensils you’ll use first on the outside and the ones you’ll use last next to the plate. The dessert fork should be at the top of the plate with the tines pointed to the right and the dessert spoon directly above it pointing left.  Each course should have...

TL;DR in English: Lay the tablecloth and placemat. Set down a charger plate and napkin. Arrange your plates on the charger plate. Set all other plates on the table. Arrange the silverware. Set the drinking glasses on the table.

Bring 2 cups of chicken broth and one 8 oz. bottle of clam juice to a simmer. Do not boil it -- just keep it warm over low heat.  Cook them for 2 minutes or until they're tender, stirring frequently as you do so. Stir constantly as you cook the ingredients for 30 seconds. Cook it and stir for 15 seconds. Cook it for 2 minutes or until the liquid is almost absorbed. Continue to stir. Keep adding it 1/2 cup at a time, until each portion is absorbed in the rice. This should take about 18-20 minutes. Cook them for one minute. Stir in 3 oz. of medium shrimp and 4 oz. of bay scallops. The shrimp should be peeled and deveined before you stir them in. Cook the seafood risotto for 4 minutes or until the shrimp and scallops are done. Continue to stir while the ingredients mix together. Stir in 2 tbsp. of whipped cream. Sprinkle this tasty seafood risotto with 3 tbsp. chopped parsley and enjoy it as a main course.

TL;DR in English: Make the broth mixture. Melt 2 tbsp. of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup chopped shallots to the pan. Add 1/2 cup uncooked Arborio rice and 1/8 tsp. crushed saffron threads to the pan. Add 1 tbsp. of fresh lemon juice to the pan. Stir in 1/2 cup of the broth mixture. Add the rest of the broth mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup of halved grape tomatoes. Stir in the seafood. Remove the seafood from the heat. Serve.

Position your piece of paper horizontally in front of you. Use a ruler to measure out 2 or more equal folds. Make the first fold, to the far left, so that part of the brochure opens towards you. The next fold in the series the brochure should open away from you and so on. This will create an accordion structure that looks like a series of equal length zig-zags from above. This is a good structure for a brochure that needs to contain a large amount of information. It also allows for some flexibility of reading, as a person can start with that first interior fold or move around to the back panels directly from the cover. Complete a traditional gatefold, as described directly above. Then, with the panels shut toward the center, divide the larger back panel into 2 sections. Make a fold down the middle of the page. The result will be a piece of paper that looks like a book, but has 2 hidden folded panels in the inside.  Double-gate brochures are often used when a company needs to present a large amount of information. They can use the outer covers for a catchy design and still have plenty of room for details in the interior panels. This type of fold also goes by the name, “three-parallel gate.” Position the paper horizontally in front of you. Then, measure out and fold it at the halfway point. Turn the paper so that the open seam is to your left with the spine/fold to the right. Fold it once more right in the middle. This will leave you with 4 panels for information.  Many people use this fold when they have a large design that needs to be shown in its entirety. When a reader opens up that initial fold, they will be presented with a full page of space that can be used for this purpose. Since there are clear back and front covers, you can also put less critical information on the back panel without losing precious space. You’ll need to complete 2 back-to-back half folds to create a French folded brochure. Start by folding your page right down the middle horizontally. Then, fold the remaining page in half across the...

This may sound gross, but spit can act as a lubricant or gentle solvent to help unclog the tip of your pen. If you’re hesitant to actually lick the nib of your pen, put a little spit on your fingertip or a napkin and dip the pen tip in that. Then, scribble on a piece of paper to see if you can get the ink flowing. Ballpoint pen ink is generally not considered toxic, so don’t worry about getting sick from licking the pen. Any mildly toxic components, such as glycols, are present in such small amounts that they won’t cause any harm. Acetone is a more aggressive solvent that might unclog your pen if alcohol isn’t strong enough. Dip the nib of your pen in a little bit of acetone-based nail polish remover and see if that does the trick. Acetone releases harsh fumes, so always use it in a well-ventilated area. Try to dip only the very tip of the pen in the acetone, since acetone can damage many types of plastic.

Invert a cup of warm saline solution over your piercing to form a vacuum. Hold the solution in place for 5 to 10 minutes and blot the area with a piece of sterile gauze. Skip the rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or harsh soaps to avoid damaging your skin cells. Avoid washing your piercing more than 2 times per day. Keep all bodily fluids and lotions off of your piercing. Protect your piercing if you go into a lake, pool or hot tub. Buy a hard, vented eye patch at a drugstore. Keep the jewelry in until the piercing has completely healed.

In order to know how to best calm your nervous stomach, it is a good idea to evaluate your symptoms.  This will help you understand what kind of nervous stomach you have and focus on finding the best ways to calm yourself down.  The most common nervous stomach symptoms include:  Feeling a knot in the pit of your stomach. A fluttering, butterfly feeling. A rolling, churning feeling. Feeling nauseous, queasy, or bloated. A tight, warm feeling in your stomach. Sometimes you can relieve some nerves by simply feeling more confident in a given situation.  Whether you are giving a presentation, going on a first date, or interviewing for a job, practicing beforehand can you feel less anxious.  Try to imagine the situation you are nervous about and see yourself successfully and confidently meeting your goals.  Do some research so that you feel knowledgeable about the topic, and be sure to go over any talking points you have.  Just don't plan everything super specifically as this will give you even more to worry about. Before an activity that gives you a nervous stomach, many people also experience racing thoughts.  These thoughts are usually negative and only cause even more anxiety and cramping.  Stopping these thoughts completely with techniques like meditation can take a lot of time to master.  A quick, effective fix for racing, negative thoughts is to turn them into positive affirmations.  For example, try repeating to yourself:  “I am enough and I can handle this." “I am the best candidate for this job. I am qualified and professional.” “I want to succeed, and I am going to succeed.” Feeling rushed will only make you feel more panicked and anxious.  If you give yourself enough time to gather your materials and get to a place early, this can help you feel on top of things and in control.  This extra time will also give you longer to calm down and use the restroom, which will help your nervous stomach.  Just keep in mind that if you get to a place more than 15 minutes early, you should plan on waiting outside the...

TL;DR in English: Assess your nerves. Rehearse beforehand. Talk positively to yourself. Don’t rush. Avoid caffeine.

Proper ergonomic chairs will offer full upper and middle back support.  If you are going to be sitting for a long period of time, supporting your back and its natural shape will be important in preventing injury or strain.  Make sure your ergonomic chair has excellent upper and middle back support before making a purchase.  The backrest should be between 12” and 19” wide. Your chair's backrest should support the natural curve and shape of your back. Most backrests will be adjustable to support the contours of your back. Chairs without proper lumbar support will have a damaging and flattening effect on your lower back.  The lower back has a natural inward curve and poorly designed chairs will cause this curve to straighten out.  Make sure your chair helps you maintain your lower back's normal curvature to help your back stay strong and healthy.  Lumbar support can be adjusted by raising or lowering the chair's back support pad. Chairs that have an unadjustable back won't be a good fit for everyone. Being able to recline or adjust the back of your chair will affect the amount of weight placed on your lower back.  If you are planning on being seated for a majority of the day, reclining can help relieve pressure on your spinal discs and lower back muscles.  Avoid buying an ergonomic chair that can't recline. Most chairs can be locked into the most comfortable reclined position you find. Back pressure is lowest between 110° and 130° of reclining. People with lower back injuries can benefit the most from reclining chairs.

TL;DR in English: Check the chair for adequate upper and middle back support. Examine the chair's lumbar support. Make sure the backrest can be adjusted or reclined.

The human hand is made up of 27 bones: 8 in the wrist (carpal bones), 5 in the palm of the hand (metacarpal bones) and three sets of phalanges in the fingers (14 bones).  The proximal phalanges are the longest part of the finger located closest to the palm of the hand. The intermediate, or middle, phalanges come next, and then the distal phalanges are the farthest out, forming the “tips” of the fingers.  Acute injuries, such as falls, accidents, and sport injuries, are the most common causes for finger fractures.  Your fingertips are one of the most injury-prone areas of your body because they are involved in almost every activity you partake in throughout the day. Stable fractures are defined by a broken bone but little to no displacement at either end of the break. Also known as a nondisplaced fracture, stable fractures can be difficult to identify and may demonstrate symptoms similar to other forms of trauma. Any broken bone in which the two primary sides of the break are no longer touching or aligned is considered a displaced fracture. A fracture in which the broken bone has been displaced and a portion of it pushed through the skin is referred to as a compound fracture. Because of the severity of the damage to the bone and the surrounding tissue, this injury always requires immediate medical attention. This is a displaced fracture in which the bone has shattered into three or more pieces. This is often, but not always, associated with substantial tissue damage. The extreme pain and immobility of the affected limb that are often associated with this form of injury make it easier to diagnose.

TL;DR in English: Understand finger fractures. Know what a stable fracture looks like. Know what a displaced fracture looks like. Know what a compound fracture looks like. Know what a comminuted fracture looks like.

If you don't have store-bought solution, then make your own using 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized salt in 8 ounces of warm water. Rinse the residue away with a stream of cool water.  Squeeze a pearl-sized drop of soap onto the piercing and gently rub the piercing and jewelry with your fingers. Rinse the area and dry it with sterile gauze. Make sure the soap is antimicrobial and it has no scent, the fragrance will make the chances of infection higher. Steer clear of any oral contact with your navel, and avoid applying lotions, creams or cosmetics to the wound. Try a waterproof wound-sealant bandage, which you can get at a drugstore. Put the eye patch over the piercing and secure it by wrapping a cloth bandage around your abdomen. The eye patch will help to protect your piercing if you have to wear tight clothing or engage in contact sports. Don't hang any charms off of the jewelry until the healing process is finished.

TL;DR in English:


Include the amount of money you have spent on tuition books.

Prepare once, use repeatedly. Write your academic and career goals. Prioritize your academic achievements. Focus on your strengths and leadership skills. List your needs.

Use your fingers to grab a pinch of sugar and distribute it evenly on top of each cube or triangular chunk. Using brown sugar will give the watermelon hints of molasses and caramel while regular white sugar will add a rich sweetness. You can also use powdered sugar, but it may create a chalky texture when it comes in contact with the moisture of the melon.

TL;DR in English: Add brown or white sugar to watermelon for a quick, easy snack.

Don't start in negotiating about where you're going on vacation if your spouse is trying to deal with cooking dinner or getting the kids ready for school. Choose a quiet time when you are both calm, and have time to talk it out. When it comes to negotiating with a family member, it will be necessary for you to make compromises to preserve the relationship. That means that you need to know where you will stand firm and what you're willing to give up. When you're negotiating with someone you love, you have much more at stake than with a stranger. Don't be afraid to be open and honest with the person, as more communication will lead to you both understanding what the other person wants. Really listen to what the other person has to say. Even if you can't give into everything he wants, you should let him know that you hear and understand what he's feeling. That is, instead of blaming the other person, discuss your feelings, and be specific. For instance, instead of saying "You're so annoying sometimes." you could say, "When you play your music so loudly, I find it hard to concentrate." A little levity can lighten up the situation. However, don't take it too far, as your family member or friend may think you're not taking them seriously. Take some time to think through the problem together. Maybe you can come up with a creative solution that makes both sides happy. Don't forget that in every relationship, you're on the same team. Try not to pit yourself against the other person.

TL;DR in English: Pick a good time. Know what you really want. Let yourself be vulnerable. Be willing to listen as much as you talk. Be specific about your problems if you're trying to negotiate a better relationship. Don't be afraid to laugh. Work together.

If your headaches do not go away with lifestyle and other changes, see a doctor for evaluation. While usually not serious, chronic headaches can be caused by other medical problems. To help your doctor provide the best diagnosis, make a list of your symptoms.  Keep a headache diary, chronicling when your headaches occur and any potential triggers. Include the intensity of each headache. You should also note how long your headaches have been occurring and any existing medical conditions you have. Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may want to run some tests to check for underlying conditions that may be causing your headaches. They may order a CT scan, an MRI, or blood work to check for neurological or other problems. If your doctor orders any tests, make sure you ask them about preparing ahead of time. Some tests may require you not to eat or drink the day before, for example. Depending on what your doctor thinks is causing the headaches, they may suggest dietary supplements. Magnesium, butterbur, feverfew, coenzyme Q10, and riboflavin are supplements that have reduced headache symptoms for some. Discuss dietary supplements with your doctor to see if they would be safe given your current health and any existing medications. Never introduce a dietary supplement before talking to your doctor first. Massage therapy involves seeing a professional masseuse to have your head, temples, and other body parts massaged to reduce the frequency of headaches. However, you can also give yourself a daily scalp massage to help prevent and possibly also relieve a headache. To give yourself a scalp massage, press your fingertips to your scalp and move them in small circles around your head. Do this for 5 to 10 minutes daily or as needed.

TL;DR in English: Present your doctor with a detailed list of symptoms. Get any necessary medical tests. Talk to your doctor about dietary supplements. Get or give yourself a scalp massage.

Choose a fruit or vegetable. It will say "Eat", as well as showing the count amount of the fruit or vegetable in storage.  If your Blockhead character is not very hungry, you'll probably only need to tap once or twice. If your character is very hungry, keep tapping until the hunger bar is full. If the hunger bar is already full, your character will not eat.

TL;DR in English: Tap on your inventory. Look for the box that appears above your Blockhead character.

You will need the same basic information for every single letter you write, regardless of the recipient. That means a job well done now creates a faster and less intensive process later on.  When you write your second letter, third letter, and so on, you will use the 5 paragraph essay structure for each and simply highlight different information to more accurately fit each recipient. Rewrite them until you can state them in one sentence. Now you have a clear, concise plan for your future as well as an important reason for applying for your scholarships. Make sure these are clear and specific. "I want to go to medical school and become a doctor" is fine, but it isn't as specific as "I want to attend Johns Hopkins and become an obstetrician serving rural areas." Identify what courses/fields of study in your past performance are directly related to your future academic/career goals. Now, take those that are the most relevant and in which you have had the most success and put them at the top. You will highlight these in your letter. Write down everything you have done that can outline the depth and breadth of your skills and potential. Include academic achievements you may have earned such as being valedictorian, school club president, or graduating with honors as well as non-academic activities such as work history, volunteer/community work, awards, sports honors/awards, and internships. Include anything that shows your strength and potential as a leader. Scholarship committees don’t want to hear about how much you need the money. They want to know that you know how to use it. So make a list that shows them you do. For instance:  Tuition Books Housing Supplies Fees

Get the person’s medication for them. Help them take their medication if they can’t do it alone.

Hyperinsulinemia is an excessive level of insulin. It is sometimes confused with diabetes or hypoglycemia, but it is a different condition. For women with PCOS, it results from your body having a tendency to resist the effects of insulin. Visit your doctor if you experience some of the following symptoms:  Weight gain Sugar cravings Feeling hungry frequently or intensely Difficulty concentrating or staying motivated Anxiety or panic Fatigue As a symptom of PCOS, hyperinsulinemia is connected to the increased production of androgens. This can cause oily skin, acne, facial and body hair. In addition, you may gain weight around your abdomen. If your doctor suspects you have hyperinsulinemia, she will likely order a glucose tolerance test (GTT). Treatment for hyperinsulinemia includes a diet and exercise plan and may also include a drug called Metformin, which can reduce your insulin levels. Whether your doctor prescribes Metformin or not, ask for a referral to a dietician. A good nutrition plan is a crucial part of treatment.  Check fasting insulin, glucose, hemoglobin A1c and c-peptide levels. Although there is no definitive test to diagnose insulin resistance, these levels are often higher than normal in PCOS patients with insulin resistance. If you are struggling to get pregnant and you have irregular periods, you may have polycystic ovary syndrome. In fact, PCOS is the most common cause of infertility. Irregular or absent ovulation makes it difficult or impossible to conceive. Higher hormone levels sometimes increase the risk of miscarriage in women with PCOS who do manage to get pregnant. See your doctor if you cannot get pregnant. Obesity is always a health concern, but it may also be a sign of PCOS. Because of increased levels of insulin, women with PCOS often accumulate fat around the waist and wind up with a pear-shaped appearance, and they typically have a difficult time losing weight. About 38% of women with PCOS are obese. An obese adult typically has a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. If you...

TL;DR in English: Watch for hyperinsulinemia. Pay attention to infertility. Take obesity seriously. Look for skin changes. Track pelvic and abdomen pain. Monitor the quality of your sleep. Be aware of any psychological symptoms. Examine your family history.

Microsoft Office is a good place to start when choosing software to build your chart, as it's readily available and user friendly. Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint will all let you build a chart, for instance. You can also find templates and programs on the internet that will let you build an organizational chart. Usually, any software will let you choose the style of chart you want. In Office, choose a chart style under "SmartArt." While you can choose from a variety of styles for charts, the style "Organizational Chart" also has an assistant to help you auto-fill the blanks of the chart. SmartArt is under the Insert tab in Illustrations. "Organizational Chart" is under Hierarchy. Once you have your chart in place, start adding in the information you've outlined into the chart. Begin by adding all the boxes and connecting lines you'll need. Though you can put more in later, you'll find it easier to have the structure in place first. The lines you add can connect departments to each other, not just show connections from the top to the bottom. Add the information by clicking inside the box and typing. It's easiest to begin at the top, especially if you have a mostly hierarchical company. Then, work your way down through each department. If you're using a thought-bubble style, start in the middle and work your way outward. Once you've got your information filled in, you can add design touches. For example, you can change the color of the boxes, so different departments have different colors. You could also change up the font, such as having bold font or larger font for the higher levels and regular font or smaller font for the lower levels.

TL;DR in English: Pick software. Choose a chart style. Add the boxes you'll need. Fill in your company's specific details. Add design elements.

” The first thing you’ll need to do to register a UPC code is to apply for it through GS1, which is a not-for-profit organization that works to improve global communication. One of the ways they do this is with the use of barcodes. Log onto a computer and go to the GS1 website. Click on the button that reads “Apply Now” to get started on your application. Once you’ve clicked on “Apply Now,” you’ll be prompted to answer several questions and provide personal information, such as your company name and email address. Complete all of the required fields in order to get your UPC codes. The application includes questions about your business projections. It’s okay to provide your best guess in this part of the application. After filling out the application, you’ll be prompted to pay the application and initial fees. These will likely be high, as the codes are authentic and original, but if you expect to need 100 UPC codes or less, the fees will be lower. You can expect to pay at least $760 USD for these fees. There are many internet-based companies, such as https://buyabarcode.com and https://www.nationwidebarcode.com/, that sell UPC codes for as low as $100 USD. This may be more affordable and fitting for those selling 1 or 2 different products on a small scale, but these codes won’t include your company’s Company Prefix. This means that selling your products through major retailers won’t be possible.

TL;DR in English: Go to www.gs1-us.org and click “Apply Now. Fill out the application. Pay the required fees. Be wary of purchasing codes through a secondary market.

Pour 4 cups (950 ml) of milk into a medium saucepan and stir in 1/2 cup (100 g) of granulated sugar with 1/4 cup (25 g) of unsweetened cocoa powder. If you don't have granulated sugar, you can substitute brown sugar, honey, or agave. Keep in mind that since these will add flavor to the hot cocoa, you'll need to add them according to your taste. Turn off the burner and stir in 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of vanilla extract or any flavor extract you'd like. For example, try peppermint, almond, or coffee extract. Then, divide the hot cocoa into serving mugs. To make it easier to pour the cocoa, consider using a ladle to spoon the hot cocoa into the mugs. Although you can enjoy your hot cocoa right away, sprinkle a few mini-marshmallows or dollop some freshly whipped cream on your cocoa for an even sweeter treat. You can also sprinkle a little ground cinnamon over the hot cocoa or hook a candy cane over the side of the mug.

TL;DR in English: Put the milk, sugar, and cocoa powder in a saucepan. Stir in the vanilla and pour the cocoa into mugs. Top the hot cocoa with marshmallows or whipped cream before serving.

If you know where the person keeps their inhaler, get it as quickly as possible. If you don’t know, ask the victim where their inhaler is kept. If they can’t speak, tell them to point or write it in the dirt with their finger. Call someone who can help, like a family member.   Be aware that a person may have more than one inhaler or other type of medication. Some medications are used for “maintenance” (everyday use to reduce or prevent asthma symptoms), while others are quick-acting “rescue” medications intended to relieve an asthma attack in progress. If the person is able, have them tell you (or point out) which medication they use for an emergency.  Many asthma patients carry an instructions card with their inhaler. Look for this. It can help you know what to do, even if the person can’t speak. Most asthma patients know how to use their inhaler correctly, so let them do it themselves. If they are not calm enough to do it, you can help. Shake the inhaler. Place the mouthpiece of the inhaler between their lips. Tell them when you are about you give the medication, so they can take a deep breath at the same time. Wait several seconds before giving the next dose, or until they say they’re ready.  Help the person take 1-2 puffs from their inhaler every 2 minutes. Do this until their symptoms get better, or until they have had 10 puffs. If emergency medical services haven’t arrived after 15 minutes, repeat this process. Using their own inhaler is ideal, but using someone else’s inhaler may be better than having no medicine at all. If they don’t have their inhaler but you do or someone else does, it’s okay to use that inhaler in an emergency.

TL;DR in English:
