Admit that all things have costs. Accept that correlation is not causation. Know that your actions may have unintended consequences.

Probiotics are bacteria that help maintain the natural balance of microorganisms in the intestines. There are some indications that consuming additional probiotics in supplement form can aid in digestion by bolstering the amount of beneficial bacteria found in the intestines. Probiotics are also in many different types of foods, so if you’d rather not take a supplement, you can get the benefits of probiotics by incorporating probiotic foods into your diet.  In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate probiotic supplements as a drug, there are certain things that you should look for when choosing a probiotic supplement. Make sure that you can find the following information on the label:  genus, species, and strain of the probiotic (such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) number of organisms that will be alive by the use-by date dose company name and contact information   The types of different probiotic strains within the supplement are very important. Some people react to certain bacteria strains better than others. For this reason, a probiotic with several different strains should be chosen. Over-the-counter digestive enzymes may aid in digestion by supplementing the body's naturally occurring enzymes. Enzymes break down food into its component parts, allowing the body to absorb it more easily. If these enzymes are effective, they could aid in the efficiency and speed of the digestive process.  Digestive enzymes are created by four glands in the human body, primarily the pancreas.  Although some alternative healthcare specialists and producers of nutritional supplements argue for the benefits of enzyme supplements, many doctors say more human studies are necessary to determine their potential effects. Some commonly sold supplements are:  Lipase. Lipase aids in the digestion and absorption of fat.  Papain. Papain is said to be useful in the digestion of proteins.  Lactase. Lactase aids in the digestion of lactose, the protein found in dairy products. Individuals who have low natural levels...

TL;DR in English: Consider taking probiotic supplements. Take digestive enzyme supplements. Take bitters.

This is optional, but as we talk about colors, is an important suggestion to offer. Bleaching the hair provides a clean slate for colors and dyes to show up in their brightest hues possible. This should of course be done by a professional if possible to decrease likelihood of hair damage. This is a two-step process consisting of: 1) which colors you want your hair to be and 2) what hair sections you want as these colors. Bright, edgy colors typically associated with scene hair include pink, blue, and purple. This gives room for mistakes and allows you to learn what colors you like for your cut and style. It is also less harsh on your hair than permanent dyes so it promotes less damage to your hair. Once you’ve decided on something permanent, go to a colorist to achieve a more permanent version of your look in the least damaging way possible.  You can have the entirety of your hair one color, have the lower section a different color than the upper section, or you can have single strand highlights. Get creative! Popular scene hair colors for the main section of your hair include bleach blonde and dark brown/black but whatever color you like best is fine. You can also keep your entire hair your natural color if that is more to your liking. Natural-colored hair dyes can easily be purchased at grocery stores, while other colors may require you to go to specialty shops. You can always have your hair colored at a salon as well. Follow the movement of your layers to act as a guide to applying the dye. If you’re at home and using packaged dye, follow the instructions and timing correctly to ensure your best color result.  Apply petroleum jelly on your hairline, around your ears, and at the base of your neck to keep dye off of your skin. Wear protective gloves to further prevent staining your skin. Prevent staining by using a towel over your shoulders. Do not wash your hair the day of dyeing your hair, to help your scalp keep its oils and its moisture. Use a water bottle to dampen your hair and promote even coloring.

TL;DR in English: Bleach your hair. Decide on the colors for your hair. Start with temporary hair colors. Use small clips to section off hair.

Your bra straps should be doing minimal work to hold up your breasts--a properly fit bra band should provide almost total support. If the band is too loose, you may be tightening your straps to pick up the slack, causing them to gouge into your shoulders.  Your bra band should be snug, but no so tight that you can't slide a finger between the fabric and your skin at the front of your bra.  The band should be parallel to the floor and sit no higher than the bottom of your shoulder blades.  If you measure your bust and find your bra band is the right size but still too loose, then it's simply too old and needs to be replaced. If your cup size is too large, you may be tightening your straps too much to keep the cups from looking pointy or to pull the them flat against your chest.  If your cup size is too small, the straps may not be long enough to accommodate your breasts and be pulled tight, gouging your shoulders. A bra in the correct size will have cups that lie smooth and flat against your chest, without pinching or causing your breasts to overflow from the sides or top.  If the center panel of the bra (the part between the cups) doesn't lie flat against your breastbone, your cups may be too small, forcing you to tighten your straps to a painful degree. Many full-support bras come with wider straps, which distribute weight better than thin straps and provide more comfort. Even with a properly fitted bra, thin straps can sometimes still be painful for women with larger breasts. Try to avoid them when possible. If your bra fits properly but the straps are still causing you discomfort, invest in cushioning designed specifically for bra straps. They fit under or around your straps and should mold against your skin so they are not obvious under your clothes. Some bra straps, especially wider straps, come with build-in cushioning for added comfort.

TL;DR in English: Check that the bra band is the right size. Make sure your cup size is correct. Wear a bra with wider straps. Buy a cushion to wear under your straps.

Realize that all things in an economic system have costs. These costs can be realized in real substantial terms or in the terms of trade-offs. Nothing is free. All benefits come at some sort of cost to someone. For example, if the residents of a community pay to maintain a park, other people who live outside the community but use the park are “free riders” – they do not realize costs associated with maintaining the park. Many economists are dedicated to the idea that correlation is not causation. What this means is that just because two things appear similar or appear to be connected, doesn't mean they are. Two things that appear related may not be related at all. For example, the fact that the number of radios owned by Americans in the early twentieth century increased along with the number of squirrels living in Central Park in New York City does not dictate a connection or causal relationship between the two. Before taking any action, understand that it may have repercussions that you may not anticipate. What this means is that economists – or anyone else – can’t predict an outcome because there are often unforeseen interactions that occur. For example, if a government lowers taxes with the intent of stimulating the economy, it could harm the economy because tax revenues along with government expenditures would decrease – harming industries that are dependent on government contracts.

TL;DR in English:


Size up the scene. Obtain consent before providing care. Evaluate vital functions. Check the airway. Assess breathing. Assess circulation. Call for help.

TMD typically involve pain in the temporomandibular joint, located at the intersection of the upper and lower jaws. Other symptoms include:  Radiating pain in the face, as well as through the jaw and neck line  Stiffness in the jaw muscles  Reduced or limited movement in the jaw  Popping or grating in the jaw, usually accompanied by pain  A misalignment between the upper and lower rows of teeth Only a professional medical expert can determine whether you have a TMD. Though there is not a clear-cut "test" to arrive at or rule out TMD, a doctor will generally evaluate the symptoms you are experiencing, and may order an X-ray to further examine the temporomandibular joint. Though it may take time to arrive at a diagnosis of a TMD, your doctor may first need to rule out other causes of jaw and face pain, including sinus infections, ear infections and neuralgia, which causes pain in the face due to nerve inflammation. Once your doctor has diagnosed you with TMD, he will probably recommend a course of action. There are a number of options available, and what your doctor recommends will probably depend on your symptoms as well as your personal medical history.  Pain relievers, both over-the-counter and prescription-strength, may be recommended to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.  Muscle relaxants may be recommended by your doctor over a short period of time (ranging from a few days to several weeks) to help alleviate pain and reduce muscle tension in the jaw.  Sedatives may be prescribed to aid in sleeping at night, especially if TMJ pain flares up during sleep.  Corticosteroid injections may be recommended to help ease pain and reduce inflammation. Wearing a bite guard can help reduce pain and may make it easier to live with pain.

TL;DR in English: Understand the symptoms. Getting a diagnosis. Treat TMD symptoms. Wear a bite guard.

Your spouse doesn’t have to be parental right off the bat. Try having your spouse relate to the child as more of a camp counselor than a parent. Focus on creating a bond first before moving into a disciplinarian role. Ask your spouse to develop a relationship together, just the two of them, that doesn’t involve you.  You can discuss with your spouse to remain responsible for your child’s control and discipline until your spouse and child develop a solid bond.  Your spouse may monitor your child’s behavior and report back to you instead of intervening. Discuss what roles who will play. Will your spouse co-parent your child, or will parenting remain your responsibility? Discuss your desires, the desires of your spouse, and what you believe will be best for your child. Inevitably there will be difficulties in adjusting to a new family structure.  Be clear in your spouse’s role with your child. Is your spouse allowed to mediate fights? Can your spouse punish your child? What consequences and rules can your spouse enforce? You may need to think in terms of a timeline. Perhaps you may parent one way now, then slowly transition to different roles over time once the family feels more cohesive. Know that it will take time for your children to adjust to new living arrangements. This is especially true if you are combining your children with your partner’s children. Don’t try to set up different rules right away; instead, keep many similar family rules and ask your partner to follow them as well. Slowly, start to adjust things as they suit your family. Positive spousal relations and low conflict in the marriage helps children adjust better. While fighting is a normal and often healthy part of a marriage, avoid involving your child in the fight or fighting in front of the child. Reassure your child that fighting sometimes happens, but that it doesn’t change things or mean that you will get divorced or that the child is causing the fights. Try to find time to disagree when your child is not home. A remarriage is harder...

TL;DR in English: Ask your spouse to create a relationship with your child. Discuss parenting with your new spouse. Move slowly in blending families. Avoid fighting in front of your child. Stay aware of your child’s development.

It can be tempting to coo back at your baby when they make silly sounds at you. However, it's better to respond with words so your baby starts learning them. When your baby coos, you can say things like, "Pretty boy!" or "Smart girl!" Try using a high pitch voice and make sure to draw out your syllables. It can also help to narrate what you're doing throughout the day, as that encourages your baby to learn more words. The more words you speak to your baby, the more they take in over time. That is, if you only use short sentences like "Stop that!," those words are the only ones your child hears. Instead, try to have continuing conversations with your baby, engaging them as much as you can based on their age. Don't rely on videos to do the speaking for you. Babies learn much better when people speak to them and interact with them in person rather than through a video. As your baby is getting older, asking them questions can get them thinking about the world. Before babies can speak, they can nod yes or no in response to a question. They can also offer other nonverbal replies. Treat any kind of nonverbal response as a reply, and continue the conversation accordingly. Pick age-appropriate books that are bright and colorful, and then sit down and read them with your baby. Also, point at pictures and make appropriate sounds. For instance, make each of the animal sounds you see in a book about animals. Another way you can help develop language is to sing little songs to your baby throughout the day. They don't even need to be "real" songs; they can just be little made-up tunes about what you're doing. Singing helps increase your baby's language skills, as it encourages them to learn new words.

TL;DR in English: Talk to your baby. Expand your sentences. Ask your baby questions. Read to your baby. Sing to your baby.

If you're not used to working at home, then your environment may not be well-suited to take an interview over a phone call. Make sure to turn off any music, television, or alarms that may interrupt the interview.  If you have children or pets, make sure they are in the other room so you can concentrate on answering the questions. Do not have an instant messenger or website open while answering questions on the interview. Get a pen and paper ready in case you need to write anything down. Keyboard clicks can be loud and distracting during an interview. A benefit of having a phone interview is that the employer won't be able to see you. This is a significant advantage because you can create a cheat sheet before your interview that will help you stay on track during the interview. Your cheat sheet can include valuable information about the company or the position you're applying to. Also, you can have your pre-written answers in front of you.  Do not respond to questions word for word by reading off your cheat sheet. Try to make your responses as natural sounding as possible. Hit the major points that you've outlined in your cheat sheet and adapt depending on the interviewer's questions. Because the interview is over the phone, your speaking demeanour becomes even more important. The person interviewing you won't have anything else to go on other than the sound of your voice and the way that you answer their questions. Do not mumble and speak loudly enough so the hiring manager can hear you. Make sure to pronounce words and take your time to think about your answers. The person interviewing you may have a speech that's been prepared, so allow them to speak. Many times they will inform you about the company or describe the duties you'll need to fulfill in the position. Asking a few follow-up questions shows your interest and tells the interviewer that you're paying attention.  While a silence may feel awkward, it's better than going on an unrelated tangent and dominating the conversation. Smile as you answer your...

TL;DR in English: Turn off distractions. Prepare a cheat sheet. Speak clearly and enunciate your words. Listen and don't dominate the conversation. Take the interview seriously. Ensure that your phone and connection are reliable.

Your child will always be autistic, even as an adult. This doesn't mean they will be miserable, or that they will have a terrible life. There are many autistic people who grow into happy autistic adults. They don't have to be "normal" in order to have a good life. Your child is different, so it's okay if they aren't talking as much as Robert next door or reading chapter books like Amaya down the street. Autistic kids follow their own timeline. This doesn't mean that you're a bad parent, or that either one of you is a failure. You are raising your child, not anyone else's, so you don't have to do what they are doing.  Make goals based on building upon where your child already is, not where the developmental timelines say they "should" be. This might mean getting chapter books for your six-year-old, or teaching your fourteen-year-old to type. If you delay telling them, they may think it is something to be scared or ashamed of. Tell them early on, and expect to have multiple conversations over time. Use an open and factual tone of voice to indicate that autism is nothing scary or bad. Frame it in terms of strengths as well as needs. For example, "Autism is why loud noises bother you and transitions are hard. It's also why you know so much about dogs, and love nature so much. It has hard parts and fun parts." There will be days when your child does well, and days when they melt down or struggle to perform skills they could do before. Don't be discouraged. Sometimes finding out what isn't working can be as beneficial in the long run as finding out what works, so you know what to avoid. They can offer advice if you don't know what to do about your child smearing peanut butter on the floor or crying at birthday parties. Many of them went through the same things as children, and can offer a first-person perspective on what it was like. They can tell you what worked for them, what didn't work, and what they'd like you to know.   The hashtag #ActuallyAutistic is for autistic people to write things (which non-autistics...

TL;DR in English: Recognize that autism is lifelong. Quit measuring yourself and your child against other families. Teach your child about autism early on. Have the attitude that you're in it for the long haul. Learn from autistic teens and adults. Trust your instincts about how your child is treated. Love your child.

While you may be eager to help the injured person, you will be of no help if you, too, become injured. Before approaching the person, make sure there are no hazards, such as traffic, unstable structures, downed electrical lines, swift-moving water, violence, explosions or toxic gas exposure. If the hazards are still present and it is too dangerous for you to reach the person, call for help and keep yourself out of harm's way. If the hazard is not a threat to your safety, then you should approach the injured person. Another way you need to protect yourself is to wear any personal protective equipment you may have access to, such as gloves to protect you from bloodborne disease if the person is bleeding. You must attempt to get the injured person's consent before you can begin first aid. The person must give verbal consent or consent with a gesture. You should identify yourself, indicate your level of training, and ask the person if you may provide first aid.  If the person is unconscious, confused, mentally impaired, seriously injured or seriously ill, then consent is implied and you may assist the person.  If the injured person is a minor, you must obtain consent from his parent or guardian. If this person is not available and the situation is life-threatening then consent is implied and you may assist the child.  If the person refuses aid, you must respect this. Even if the person is seriously injured and the situation is life-threatening, if he refuses care you cannot attempt first aid. These include assessing the victim's ABCs: Airway, Breathing and Circulation. Lie the person on his back and put yourself close to his head and neck so you can better evaluate his vital functions. If the person is conscious, begin working but also talk with him to keep him calm and help slow his heart rate. If possible, try to keep the victim's eyes averted so he cannot see the wound. If the person is unconscious and there is no possibility of neck or spine injury, place one hand on the person's forehead and another...

Open Skype. Start a Skype call. Tap ＋. Tap Start recording. Tap Stop recording when you are done. End the call. Play back the recording.

Your speech may include an introduction, body and conclusion. The introduction and conclusion are optional, depending on your time limits. The body of the speech should begin by expressing gratitude to the most important people on your list. It may proceed with shorter expressions of gratitude to larger groups of people. On a blank piece of paper, compose a quick outline with section headings and the main points you want to make in each section. As you write your speech, bring to mind a particular individual that you want your speech to touch. Imagine you are in a conversation with this individual or that your speech is a letter to them personally. When people hear your speech, they will get the impression that you are talking to them on a personal level. A great thank you speech is written from a personal, genuine place of gratitude. You should think about what you are really grateful for, and try to express this gratitude in a genuine way in your speech. Some examples of genuine ‘thank you’ speeches include:  In 1985, Sally Field spoke from the heart in her Oscar thank you speech. She said, “I can’t deny the fact that you like me, right now you like me!” In 1970, at the age of 61, John Wayne was genuine about how long it took him to win, upon accepting the award for best actor for the role of one-eyed Rooster Cogburn. He said, “Wow! If I’d known that, I would have put the patch on 35 years ago.” You don’t want to sound full of yourself or too self-centered. One of the reasons that you are giving a ‘thank you’ speech is that there are so many people who have helped you along the way. You could express genuine humility, use your self-depreciating humor and wit or show your humility directly with simple statements.  For instance, you could say: “I am so humbled by this honor.” You could also use humor. For instance, when George Clooney won best supporting actor in 2006 but lost the best director award, he drew on his self-deprecating humor. He said, “Well, it looks like I’m not winning best director…” Write...

TL;DR in English: Outline the structure of your speech. Picture one person you want to address. Speak from the heart. Express humility. Avoid verbosity. Write an introduction. Write about the most important people on your list. Finish composing the body of your speech. Compose a conclusion.

Pursed lip breathing is one of the best ways to deal with shortness of breath that is not caused by a health issue. If you're in serious distress, you should always call for help first. Pursed breathing has the following benefits:  It improves how much air is getting into your lungs. It releases trapped air from inside your lungs. It makes it easier for you to breathe. It slows your breathing. It helps your body get into a better breathing rhythm, releasing old air before taking in new air. It helps you relax. Your mouth should be closed so that you aren’t tempted to breathe through your mouth. You only need to take a small breath, so don’t worry about deeply inhaling during the 2 seconds. Relax your neck and shoulders as you breathe in and out. You can make pursed lips by pressing your lips together in a tight pucker, as though you are about to whistle or blow air onto something. The goal is a slow stream of air exiting your mouth. Release the breath through your mouth, allowing it to slowly flow between your lips. Take as many seconds as you need to let all of the air leave your body before you take another breath through your nose.  Your exhale should be slower than your inhale. Continue breathing through pursed lips until you feel like you’re in control of your breathing.

TL;DR in English: Use pursed lip breathing to control shortness of breath. Inhale slowly through your nose, counting to 2. Press your lips together as though you’re going to blow out a candle. Exhale slowly through your pursed lips.

Measure two liters (8 cups) of water and pour it into a pot and place it over your stovetop. Turn the stove to high until the water starts to bubble. You can also use a kettle or electric water heater to heat up the water. Combine three tablespoons (44.36 ml) of dishwashing detergent to the water as it boils. Then, turn off the heat on the stovetop and carefully lift the pot of water and take it to your drain. Carefully tip the pot or kettle so that the water goes down the drain. If you have plastic pipes, you should allow the water to cool for four to five minutes before pouring it down the drain. After the hot water has drained, turn on your faucet on the highest heat. If the drain is clogged or slow, you may have to repeat the process to remove bigger grease obstructions and unclog it.

TL;DR in English: Bring two liters of water to a rolling boil. Add dishwashing detergent to the water. Pour the water down the drain. Flush the drain with hot water from the faucet.

While you may not be able to afford the most exclusive neighborhoods or buildings, you can find something not terribly far from where the real money resides. Get as close as you can. Or settle for a shoe in the box, right in the middle. In doing so, you’ll be running errands, walking your dog, jogging, drinking your coffee, etc., in the same areas. In doing so, you’re absorbing the culture and meeting people.  This provides opportunities to become more relaxed amongst the rich and to be noticed at no (more) additional cost to you.  If you can’t afford to move, simply start getting your groceries in upscale neighborhoods. Drive your car to the high-end park for your morning jog and so forth. If you want to be rich, you need to [look] rich. If you don’t look and act the part, you likely won’t close the deal. You want your look to be sexy but not so much that it crosses the line into looking sleazy. Sexy but sophisticated is the way to go, investing in only a few classic pieces that can be worn with a variety of other things. Look for them at consignment shops and online at websites like eBay. Also invest in 1-2, second-hand and versatile designer handbags.  Accessories such as jewelry are also important, but these are more easily faked. Pearls are classic, for instance, and don’t need to be real, and a pair of cubic zirconium stud earrings and a matching necklace will never go out of style and won’t cost a fortune. Know the dress code of any event you attend and make sure you adhere to it. If you’re not sure, it’s always best to be a bit overdressed than underdressed. Avoid over-tanning, wearing too much makeup, and coloring your hair in ways that looks unnatural as it’s not generally a classy look. Even if you may not have been educated in finance or political theory, you need to be well versed in the things rich men discuss. Since they are often big players in business and politics, gain knowledge in these areas through reading newspapers daily – particularly the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal –...

TL;DR in English: Move close to where they live. Look the part. Talk their talk. Act like money doesn’t matter.

Before you choose who will manage your money, you should know what your goals and expectations are for that money. This can help you choose the financial planner that's best for you, and it can keep your expectations grounded in what you hope to achieve. A financial planner can help you manage your money at any stage of life.  In the early stages of financial planning, a financial planner can help you establish/maintain good credit, manage student loan debt, purchase a home or vehicle, and develop a budget that works for you.  In the middle stages of life, a financial planner can help you buy a new home, save for a vacation, start a college fund for your children or grandchildren, and plan/save for retirement.  In the later stages of life, a financial planner can help you plan for early retirement, figure out how to make your money last throughout your retirement, plan for your healthcare needs, and develop an estate plan for your family. When looking for a financial planner, it's best to choose someone who is licensed as a certified financial planner (CFP). Certification means that that financial planner is licensed, follows regulations, and take regular mandatory courses on financial planning.  Some financial planners have the Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) certification, but it is not as difficult to earn as the CFP certification.  CFPs are required to pass a rigorous and comprehensive board exam in order to practice as a financial planner. They take college-level courses approved by the CFP Board, and must have accrued several years' worth of financial planning experience.  CFPs are also bound by their professional requirements to follow a standard of integrity, objectivity, confidentiality, and professionalism. Once you've narrowed down the qualifications/certifications to search for, you can begin looking for a certified financial planner. You can find a list of CFPs by searching online or in the phone book, but it's best to look for a CFP who has a solid reputation in the industry.  Ask friends,...

TL;DR in English: Evaluate your financial goals. Consider the advantages of a CFP. Search for CFPs. Look at each planner's pay structure. Compare each CFP's clientele.

Propagate by seed if you don’t have access to a mature tree. Sow indoors before the last frost at 64 to 70 °F (18 to 21 °C). Soak the seeds for 4-5 days before sowing. Bury the seeds in potting soil in a small pot. Cover the pots with plastic to keep them moist. Wait 30-40 days for germination.

Apply the glue and trim to 1 side of the label at a time. If you are decorating the front label, consider doing 3 rows of rhinestone trim. Use a thin trim for the first and third rows, and a larger trim for the middle row. Use a thin, simple trim for the back label. You don't have to use rhinestones for the middle row. Try pearls or even studs! Some bottles have a round stamp or seal near the top, right between the neck and label. Choose a large rhinestone, then glue it right over the stamp or seal. Glue 1 to 2 rows of tiny rhinestones around the larger one for a fancier look.  The large rhinestone should be large enough to cover the stamp or seal. For more variation, use tiny pearls for the first row, and silver rhinestones for the second row. If all of your rhinestones are the same shape, size, and color, your bottle may look monotonous. Give the bottle a quick coat of a clear-drying glue or spray sealer, then shake some glitter onto it. This works especially well over smooth, pearl trims.  If you are using spray sealer, it must be glossy, or you will dull down the rhinestones. Use glitter that is the same color as your rhinestones to help blend it in some more. Extra-fine glitter will look pretty, but you can use chunky glitter instead, or even a combination of both! If you covered your entire bottle with rhinestones, it may look a little monotonous. Let the bottle dry first, then add larger rhinestones, gemstones, or flat-backed pearls on top. Use these sparingly; do not cover the entire bottle with these. This works especially well over a pearl trim. The rhinestones will help add some texture. Cut a length of ribbon and tie it into a bow. Glue the bow to the neck of bottle, then cut the tails of the bow into angles. Glue a fancy gemstone or brooch to the center of the bow for a more detailed touch.

TL;DR in English: Outline labels with rhinestone trim for a fancier touch. Glue large, fancy rhinestones over round stamps or seals. Break up monotony and add texture with glitter. Layer larger gems and rhinestones over tiny ones. Add an accessory, such as a bow, if desired.

Some guys bond with people by doing things instead of through talking. He might feel closer to you if you do side by side activities together. Examples of side by side activities would be playing sports, playing a game, or working on a project together. Pay attention to the kinds of activities that he likes to do, and do those activities with him. For example, if he likes to do outdoors activities like shooting, have him teach you how to shoot a gun. Or if there is a game that he likes to play, learn how to play too.  Even if you don’t know how to do the activities that he likes to do, it can mean a lot to him if you try to learn. Enjoy yourself while you are out with him. Laugh aloud at your mistakes, ask lots of questions, and talk to the other people who are doing the activity too. Even if he is a guy who enjoys talking, it might build your relationship in a new way if you do side by side activities together. Some guys do feel connected with girls based on their feelings and talking, and even guys who may not be always excited to talk about their feelings may want to talk to you about the things they care about once they are really comfortable with you. After you have spent quality time getting to know him, you should move on to getting to know him on a deeper level. He will feel closer to you and rely on you more if you know more about what he cares about and the history of his life.  These kinds of conversations are great to have at night. You should ask him questions about important times in his past, the important relationships in his life, and the things he cares about. For example, you can ask him, “Which of your interests means the most to who you are, and why do you care so much about it?” Or ask him, “Who in your family do you think you are the closest with and why?”. These questions can be really simple but listening well will help you have a really meaningful conversation with him. For your conversation, sit across from him or in a position where you can see his face and hear him well. Ask him...

TL;DR in English: Do side by side activities with him. Get to know about his interests and the important relationships in his life. Find a quiet place for a conversation where you won’t be interrupted. Express yourself back to him. Be there during hard times as a confidant. Ask him for help.

If you have a bit of downtime, meal prepping is a great way to use it. When you plan and prepare your meals ahead of time, you are less likely to choose unhealthy options like fast or junk food. Browse interesting recipes on Pinterest and compile a grocery list to take with you shopping. Ask your roommate, partner, or children to help you. This will help you get the task done faster. Plus, you’ll have more fun as you work together. Regular physical activity delivers an energy boost and keeps your mind alert. You already know you should exercise a few days a week. But if you plop down on the couch to watch TV first, you’re unlikely to get moving later. Make exercise a priority by using your leisure time to support your physical and mental well-being. Allot at least 30 minutes to running, walking, biking or some other preferred activity. You can even turn on some music and shake your hips as you cook or clean your home. Even if you are not currently stressed, you can positively influence your well-being by practicing self-care. Too often, you may relegate yourself to the bottom of your priority list. Creating a self-care toolbox helps you gather relaxing activities so they are at reach when you need a refresh. Stock your self-care toolbox with items and activities that rejuvenate your mind and body. You might include scented candles and lotions, bubble bath or salts, a coloring book, a novel, a knitting project, or your favorite movie. You might wonder what cleaning has to do with health. A clean home can offer you mental health benefits because you aren’t stressed about where things are. However, if you suffer from allergies or other chronic conditions, cleaning your home regularly can reduce unpleasant symptoms. Also, cleaning offers you the chance to move your body and get your heart rate up. Use natural cleaning products to reduce your exposure to toxins to further benefit your overall health and well-being.

TL;DR in English: Find some healthy recipes you’d like to try. Exercise. Stock your self-care toolbox. Tidy your home.

Now is not the time for cotton sports bras or granny panties. Instead, opt for something a little sexier, like a matching lace bra and underwear or a sheer bodysuit. Choose pieces that flatter your figure and show off your best assets.  For example, if you love your back but aren’t a fan of your belly, wear a teddy that dips low in the back and provides coverage in the front over your midsection. Men might select a pair of silk boxer briefs in a slightly see-through black. Your outerwear is the least important part of your striptease. You want something that you feel good in and that you can remove without much trouble. Pick a slip dress or a sheer blouse with a stretchy skirt, for example, or, for men, wear loose jeans and a pullover.  Stay away from anything super tight, like skinny jeans, or clothes in a scratchy fabric that could irritate your partner if you dance against them. Avoid lots of layers. You don’t want to be spending a lot of time taking off a sweater, blouse, and tank top. Adopting a new persona for the night can add an exciting twist to your striptease. You can’t go wrong with the classic sexy librarian look, complete with glasses, a button-down shirt, and pencil skirt. Or, if your partner likes a woman or man in uniform, rock a form-fitting cop costume. Find costumes at a Halloween store, party store, or online retailer. Heels not only add extra sex appeal to your striptease, they also make your hips sway more when you walk and slim your legs. Pick a pair that matches your lingerie or opt for classic black peep-toes.  Make sure you can walk in your heels beforehand. Stilettos lose their flair if you’re stumbling around. If you buy new shoes for the striptease, break them in by wearing them around the house with thick socks. It will stretch out the shoes so they aren’t too tight on your feet. The mussed, woke-up-like-this look is very effortless yet sensual at the same time. If you’re a man, simply run some mousse through your hair. If you’re a woman, style your hair in long, loose waves or...

TL;DR in English: Put on a pretty set of undergarments or lingerie underneath your clothes. Dress in clothes that are comfortable and easy to take off. Go for a costume if you and your partner are into roleplaying. Slip on a pair of sky-high stilettos that elongate your legs. Wear your hair in a tousled, bedhead style. Play up either your eyes or lips with makeup if you want extra drama.

Use scissors to cut the band holding the cilantro together. Turn on the faucet and place the cilantro under the water. Use your hands to gently rub the cilantro to remove any dirt. Rinse the cilantro until all the dirt is removed. Shake off the excess water and pat the cilantro dry with paper towels. Set aside the amount of cilantro that you want to use on a cutting board. Both the leaves and stems are edible. However, if you prefer to just eat the leaves, use your hands to remove the leaves from the stems. Remove as many leaves as you need to for your dish. Discard the stems. Bunch the cilantro leaves into a pile. Securely hold a chef's knife by the handle. Place the knife blade-side down on top of the cilantro. Place the palm of your other hand on top of the metal part of the knife. Make sure the tips of your fingers are away from the blade. Rock the knife back and forth to roughly chop the leaves. Avoid over cutting the cilantro into small pieces since over cutting can lead to blackened leaves. Fill a cup with water. Place the cilantro in the cup stem-side down, and place the cup in the fridge. Store cilantro for up to a week in the fridge.

TL;DR in English: Rinse the cilantro under cold running water. Pull off the cilantro leaves to remove them. Chop the cilantro. Store unused cilantro in the fridge for up to a week.

While it’s certainly possible to propagate Madagascar dragon trees from seeds, you may need to try this method a few times to get it right. It’s difficult to grow many varieties of trees from seed, and these plants are no exception. If you want a horticultural challenge, this option is for you! You can buy Madagascar dragon tree seeds online, although they may actually be more expensive than a mature plant. This will replicate the plant’s natural growth cycle, helping to stimulate germination. Place the seeds in a bowl of warm water. You do not need to change the water each day. This, too, will encourage germination. Fill the pot with either seed-growing compost, or an equal-parts mixture of multipurpose compost and perlite. Pack down the compost with your fingers. Use distilled water to moisten the soil until water drains out from the holes at the bottom of the container. Then, place no more than 1 or 2 seeds in the container, burying them slightly.  The seeds don’t need more than about 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) of covering over them. Seed-growing compost is better than multipurpose, but both should work. There should be at least a finger-width of space between the 2 seeds. Place the container in a resealable plastic bag. Label the bag with the plant’s name and date you sowed the seeds. Check the soil every day or so to make sure it’s still moist. If it’s dried out, re-moisten it. If germination is successful, it should occur in about a month. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, you can gently move them into their own little pots filled with moistened potting soil.  Continue to keep them inside until the leaves have sprouted and hardened a bit.

TL;DR in English:


Don't try to pop your pimple. Apply a warm compress to an area that is sore and may be breaking out. Wash your whole face with a mild cleansing agent containing salicylic acid. Don't wear makeup on the area until it is absolutely necessary to cover it up.

The slope of a line is defined by (Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1) where X and Y are the horizontal and vertical coordinates of points on the line. You must define two points on the line to calculate this formula. The point closer to the bottom of the line is (X1, Y1) and the point higher on the line, above the first point, is (X2, Y2).  This formula can be restated as the rise over the run. It is the change in vertical difference over the change in horizontal difference, or the steepness of the line. If a line points upwards to the right, it will have a positive slope. If the line is downwards to the right, it will have a negative slope. A point on a line is given by the coordinate (X, Y) where X is the location on the horizontal axis and Y is the location on the vertical axis. To calculate the slope, you need to identify two points on each of the lines in question.  Points are easily determined when you have a line drawn on graphing paper. To define a point, draw a dashed line up from the horizontal axis until it intersects the line. The position that you started the line on the horizontal axis is the X coordinate, while the Y coordinate is where the dashed line intersects the line on the vertical axis. For example: line l has the points (1, 5) and (-2, 4) while line r has the points (3, 3) and (1, -4). To actually calculate the slope, simply plug in the numbers, subtract, and then divide. Take care to plug in the coordinates to the proper X and Y value in the formula.  To calculate the slope of line l: slope = (5 – (-4))/(1 – (-2)) Subtract: slope = 9/3 Divide: slope = 3 The slope of line r is: slope = (3 – (-4))/(3 - 1) = 7/2 Remember, two lines are parallel only if they have identical slopes. Lines may look parallel on paper and may even be very close to parallel, but if their slopes are not exactly the same, they aren’t parallel. In this example, 3 is not equal to 7/2, therefore, these two lines are not parallel.

TL;DR in English: Define the formula for slope. Identify the X and Y coordinates of two points on each line. Plug the points for each line into the slope formula. Compare the slopes of each line.

The time signature looks like a fraction and is noted at the beginning of a piece of music. The top number tells you how many beats there will be every measure, and the bottom number tells you what kind of notes those beats will be in this song. For instance, if 3 is on top and 1 is on the bottom, there will be 3 whole note beats per measure. If 5 is on top and 2 is on the bottom, there will be 5 half note beats per measure. If 6 is on top and 8 is on the bottom, there will be 6 eighth-note beats per measure. The most common time signature (sometimes just written with the letter C meaning “common time”) is 4 on top and 4 on the bottom, which means there are 4 quarter-note beats per measure. . At the beginning of the sheet music, next to the clef sign, sharp ♯ and flat♭signs make up the "key signature." These tricks will help you memorize what each key signature looks like:  If there are no sharps or flats next to the clef, the scale is C major or A minor, so C or A will be Do for this song, respectively. The rightmost sharp in the key signature is Ti on the solfege scale. Go up one half step (a space or line) and you'll get the root note which the scale is named for, and which you can think of as Do. Alternatively, use this mnemonic to identify the scale by how many sharps there are (starting at one sharp): Green Day And Elvis Buy Four Cats The rightmost flat in the key signature is Fa, and the flat to its left is the root note Do. Identify the scale by the number of flats there are (starting at one flat): Fat Boys Eat Apples During Geometry Class Unless you have perfect pitch, you'll need to listen to the root tone. This is always the note in the name of the key signature, so when you're singing a song written in A, you'll want to listen to an A. You can use a piano, a metronome with a pitch function, a tuning fork, or pitch software on a phone app or website. Using the root note as Do, sing the solfege scale up and down once or twice to get a feel for the notes you'll be singing. Remember to use the minor...

TL;DR in English: Assess the time signature. Identify the key Listen to the root note. Run through the solfege scale. Check the rhythm and tempo. Cope with difficult passages.

It can be tempting to spend a lot of your weekend in bed, especially if you’re tired from a long week. However, sleeping too much can ultimately leave you feeling even more tired, and can take up hours you could have spent enjoying your time off. Resist the temptation to sleep in on the weekends. If you’re concerned about getting enough sleep, try going to bed early rather than sleeping in. Most people need 7-9 hours of sleep every night to be at their best. Significantly changing your bed and wake-up times over the weekend can disrupt your body’s natural rhythms and leave you feeling sluggish and groggy. Try to both go to bed and get up within about an hour of when you normally would during the work week. While going to bed or getting up an hour later than usual won’t make much of a difference in how you feel, a delay of two or more hours can seriously confuse your brain and body. . In addition to helping you sleep, taking a couple of hours to unwind before you go to bed can be pleasant and rewarding in itself. Develop a soothing pre-sleep ritual to help you stay rested and enjoy the weekend. Take a little time to relax your body. Take a warm bath or shower, get into comfy pajamas, and do some light stretches or breathing-focused meditation. If worrying about things you need to get done keeps you from falling asleep, set aside a few minutes before bed to write a to-do list for the next day or the upcoming week. Be sure to make note of anything you accomplished during the day, too. Avoid the temptation to watch TV or look at your phone, tablet, or computer screen right before bed. Watching media before bed can be overstimulating or stressful, and the light from screens can disrupt your ability to sleep.

TL;DR in English: Get up earlier. Set regular times to go to bed and wake up. Create a relaxing bedtime routine Write down whatever is worrying you. Minimize your screen time.

Your instincts may suggest that something is a great idea, but you won't really know whether or not it's worth pursuing until you gather data around that subject. Sometimes the data will support your instincts, but other times, it may prove your instincts to be wrong. Customer surveys and product tests are both great ways to collect data on your ideas. These tools provide you with data specifically tailored to your project and your target market. When “Option A” and “Option B” are the two clearest, most obvious choices, it can be easy to assume that they're the only choices. There might be new, less obvious choices that are better and waiting to be discovered just outside of the box, however. "Option A" and "Option B" might be standard procedures that are hard to break from. In that case, question why those procedures are standard. Point out any weaknesses or flaws in those options and suggest ways to address those issues. If you wait until you have the means to enact a big plan all at once, you'll be waiting a long time and will likely lose momentum as you sit around. A better course of action is to commit as quickly as possible by taking small steps toward your goals.  Give tangible form to abstract ideas as quickly as possible. Create a prototype of a project you're working on. Improve the actual prototype instead of trying to make all of your improvements only on paper. Major innovation is even harder to pull off during tough economic times since your resources are slim and your customers are more resistant to change. Investing everything you have in a major innovation without approaching it in a few minor, cautious steps can be a waste of resources you need to manage more effectively. Taking small steps will allow you to change direction along the way as needed. Small steps and short-term goals are important when you're trying to build momentum, but if you want long-term success, you will need to make sure that your goals will lead you to your desired long-term goal. Don't let yourself be blinded by...

TL;DR in English: Use data to support your instincts. Introduce new options. Take small, immediate steps. Look at the big picture. Try to try again.

Then, point the remote control at the device. If you cannot find your user manual, you can search your remote control's memory for the 4-digit code device code. This is also effective if the desired device isn't listed in the manual. At the same time, hold the OK key. All keys should flash twice. The selected mode key should flash two times. Wait for the device to turn off before you release PLAY. Use the REW key to look through each code backwards one at a time, and the FF key to look through them forwards one at a time. PLAY will resume an auto-search of the codes. The mode key will flash three times.  If you cannot find the desired code, press EXIT to return to normal use of the control. Note that the Mode keys will flash red and the remote control will return to normal function if it cannot find a valid code. If it does not work, you may need to repeat the steps.

TL;DR in English: Turn on the device you want to program. Press and hold the key (TV, AUX, DVD) that you wish to program. Enter "922". Press and hold the PLAY button. Press ENTER once you have found the correct code. Turn the device on and try the remote.

If you see a pimple forming, do not squeeze it or try to pop it. Squeezing can actually push the infected material deeper into the skin, worsening the pimple and causing it to become more red and inflamed. It is also more likely to result in permanent scarring if you pick at it. Before washing, applying a warm, damp washcloth to the area will help to clear your pore. This will improve the chances of your pimple clearing up naturally as soon as possible. This will help to rid your face of dead skin cells and excess oil, thereby diminishing the severity of the pimple that is forming. Pimples are worsened by clogged pores and oily skin, so washing twice a day will help to keep the zit as short-lived as possible. Note that it is important not to rub your skin too harshly, particularly over the sore or affected area. This can worsen the potential breakout. Applying a thick layer of any product will trap bacteria, dead skin cells, and oil inside the pore. Keep your skin clean and follow your preventive skincare regimen as closely as possible, wearing makeup only when needed.  Note that, for some people with acne problems, even non-comedogenic products clog their skin and cause pimples. Test all makeup products and replace them if they start to clog your skin.

TL;DR in English:

You need a wide open space, preferably a field, with no buildings or trees around.  The number or people in the area should also be limited, as the functioning of an RC helicopter can be extremely dangerous.  The size of the space you'll need will differ depending on the size of your helicopter.  You can either go out by yourself, or go with one other person.  Distractions such as pranks, games, or laughs can dampen your ability to focus on flying your copter. Dogs and other pets should also be left at home.  There are many horror stories where pets are killed by falling aircraft.  Do not let this happen to one of your pets. the area size should be at least 60X60 feet.  The best ground material is clean, smooth pavement, or tightly packed snow. If you are someone who is new to flying, you will need to attach this equipment onto the bottom of your helicopter.  The training equipment is typically two wooden or carbon fiber sticks, crossed in a "T" shape, with little rubber balls on the ends.  These can be purchased at helicopter specialty stores, both online and on site, for around 40-60 dollars. For a good video on how to make your own training gear, visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJtNIzZ9U_0. You will need to make sure that your receiver batteries, helicopter, and radio are all charged up before you go out to fly your RC helicopter.  You will also need to check the weather before you go out.  If the weather is anything above 15 mph wind, and/or light rain, you should avoid flying your copter.    You should also bring safety goggles with you when you go out to fly. If you are going to be out in an open field, especially in the fall or winter months, make sure you are wearing warm clothes.

TL;DR in English: Find a flying site. Purchase or make helicopter training equipment. Check for last minute precautions.

People who pretend to know everything are not as well liked as people who are willing to ask for help. Asking questions gives other people the opportunity to help you and that makes them feel good. If you are unsure of something or just want to know what someone else thinks, ask questions to give them a chance to share their knowledge. Try to get people to talk about themselves. Research has shown that when people talk about themselves, they feel the same pleasure as when they eat or receive money. . Active listening is a great way to get people to love you. The better you are at listening to people when they are talking, the more they will want to spend time talking with you. Practice active listening by nodding, using neutral phrases, and rephrasing what the speaker has just said.  Demonstrate that you are listening by nodding your head and using neutral phrases, such as, "Uh-huh,” “I see,” and “Yes.” Demonstrate comprehension by rephrasing what the other person just said. For example, if a friend says, “I have been so busy this week,” you can say, “So you haven’t had any time for yourself lately.” . Using humor is a great way to get people to love you too. If you know a good joke, share it with other people. If you are witty, make witty remarks. Just make sure that the humor you use is appropriate for the situation or you may end up offending someone. Look for little ways to make your companions laugh and they will love spending time with you. People who are willing to ask for help when they need it are often interpreted as more likeable than people who pretend like they know how to do everything. Show that you are open to other people’s advice and suggestions by asking for help when you need it. Allowing people opportunities to share their expertise with you will make them feel good and love being around you because of how useful you make them feel. . You can also use positive gossip in your favor to get people to love you. Instead of talking about what you don’t like about people, talk about what you do...

TL;DR in English: Ask questions. Listen well Joke around with people Ask for help when you need it. Say nice things about other people

Use hay and cow manure to keep weeds from growing and continue to nourish the rhubarb plants. Leaf mulch or ramial wood chips also make good mulches. Your rhubarb bed should stay moist and well-drained throughout the heat of the summer. Water every time the soil begins to look dry. Seed stalks keep the rest of the rhubarb plant from growing tall and strong, since they use up the plant's energy. Rhubarb isn't prone to getting many pests, but you may notice a beetle called the rhubarb curculio on the stalks. This beetle is light gray and about half an inch long. Pick off the beetles one at a time. Don't use pesticide to kill them, as this may damage your rhubarb plants. After the first year has passed, use a light application of high-nitrogen fertilizer to encourage the rhubarb to come back healthy. Do this after the ground has started to thaw.

TL;DR in English: Place a layer of mulch over your rhubarb bed in the spring and fall. Keep the rhubarb watered during the summer. Remove seed stalks before they get too big. Pick off rhubarb curculio. Fertilize rhubarb every spring.

Many myths explain why an event occurs, how something was first created, or why people should act a certain way. Here are some examples from real myths:  Why does the moon wax and wane? Why do vultures have bald heads? Why do people prepare and eat foods in certain ways, or on certain holidays? Some myths explain why people should or shouldn't behave in certain ways. This can be a straightforward lesson with a moral at the end, but more often, the reader picks up on the lesson by seeing good actions rewarded, and evil or foolish actions punished. Here are a few ideas that you could use as the main focus of your work, if you like this approach:  The hero succeeds only when he follows the advice of elders or gods — or alternatively, only when he is self-reliant. The hero must be clever to succeed, solving problems in creative ways. Some myths even teach that luck can be more important than skill. It can be fun to hear about an "ordinary" person who gets rewarded, or entertaining to hear about a complete fool who somehow becomes king. Your myth can be silly or serious, but it should involve something that doesn't happen in the real world. For example, a volcano might erupt because giants underground left the barbecue on. A hero might be forced to learn to care about people after an evil serpent turns his family into trees. If you're having trouble coming up with a mythological explanation for the topic you chose, write down a list of words that remind you of snow. If you want to explain how snowstorms happen, write down "cold, wet, white, snowman, ice cream, clouds." Maybe snowmen live in the sky and sneeze snow down to earth, or maybe the clouds try to give us ice cream that melts on the way down. The hero of the story is usually someone impressive and admirable, although as mentioned above, you can write about an ordinary person instead. Think about these questions as you write down ideas for your hero:  Is the hero super-strong, super-intelligent, or incredibly talented in one area? Some heroes have...

TL;DR in English: Decide what your myth explains. Think about including a lesson. Turn your idea into something fantastical. Create a hero. Add flaws to your hero. Brainstorm magical ideas.

Betta fish come to recognize their owners. They will actually learn faces and even simple games. Keep your betta company and say "hi" once in a while, so he learns who you are! Betta fish are very curious and often develop a strong bond with their caretaker. They can "beg" for food by swimming up and down in the front of the tank when you come near.

TL;DR in English: Have fun with your new friend.

You will need sea salt, one lemon and an old toothbrush. You’ll want to have a few clean, soft towels on hand, along with some rubbing alcohol and a handful of cotton balls. You’ll use these items at the end to sterilize your blade.

TL;DR in English:


Create your brand. Utilize traditional marketing techniques. Adopt non-traditional marketing techniques. Employ online marketing strategies. Utilize social networks/media. Understand the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns. Get referrals from existing customers.

Despite the fact that today's technology is smaller and more useful than ever, we all seem to end up surrounded by stuff we no longer use or care about. It can seem like a pain to take the time and trouble to get rid of it, but you'll be glad you did once the task is finished. Get rid of everything you haven't used in a year or more, unless it was either terribly expensive or a family heirloom. Have a garage sale, use eBay, or simply donate your extra dishes, clothes, toys, books, movies, games, and other items to a charity. Expensive and/or heirloom items you haven't used in a long time should be gently boxed up and stored in an attic, a basement, a garage, or even a rarely-used bedroom closet. One of the most common prescriptions psychologists give for curing insomnia is to set aside the bedroom for sex and sleeping only. By creating a dedicated, assigned space for specific activities, you convince your brain to engage in those activities whenever you enter that space. Take this method to heart as much as your space allows:  Remove TVs, desks, computers, and other such distractions from the bedroom. Store clothes and books there instead. Only spend time in the bedroom when you're changing clothes, grabbing a book, going to sleep, or getting it on. Don't read in bed. Clean the clutter off of your dining room/breakfast nook table. If you don't have a dining room or a breakfast nook, but you do have a table, clean it up. Only use the table for eating and paperwork (bills, studying, writing, and so on). Make a commitment to washing your dishes after every meal. Maintain your kitchen. It's rare that you'll ever make so many dishes in a single day that you can't get them all washed within 30 minutes in the evening. Clean up every day so you can continue to use the kitchen for cooking and not have to worry about the mess. Put time-consuming activities in an office or the living room. Keep computers, TVs, video game consoles, and other such activity items in general areas. Train your brain to associate these areas...

TL;DR in English: Reduce your collection. Assign space. Consider canceling your TV service.

The facemasks you have made will be very gloopy and messy. Consider draping a towel over the front of your chest and shoulders to protect your clothes. You can also wear something that you do not mind getting dirty. While the ingredients you have used are not bad for your hair, you will probably have to wash your hair completely if you get any of the oatmeal mask on it. To prevent this, tie your hair into a pony tail to keep it away from your face. If you have short hair, then consider wearing a shower cap. If you have not already, wash your face with your usual facial cleanser and water. Lightly pat your face dry with a clean towel. Using your fingers, start gently massaging the mask into your face, using circular motions. Apply the mask into your forehead, nose, cheekbones, and jaw. Do not apply it on your mouth or eyes. Let the mask sit on your face for 10 to 15 minutes. If you are using the soothing, yogurt-based mask, consider leaving the mask on for 15 to 20 minutes instead. The mask may harden or start to flake off as it dries; this is normal and to be expected. While waiting for your mask to dry, consider taking a relaxing bath or soak. Using cool water, gently wash the face mask off. Be sure to use the same circular, massaging motions that you used to put the mask on. Once your face is clean, follow up with your usual skincare regime. If you don't have a skincare regime, them you can consider applying some toner and moisturizer.  To apply the toner, simply soak a cotton ball with some toner, and sweep it over your face, focusing on the forehead, nose, and cheekbones. The toner will help tighten your pores. To apply some moisturizer, simply squeeze some of your favorite facial moisturizer onto your palm, and apply it to your face using your fingers. Avoid the sensitive areas around your nose and mouth.

TL;DR in English: Protect your clothes. Protect your hair. Start with a fresh, clean face. Apply the mask to your face. Leave the mask on your face. Rinse the mask off. Consider applying toner and moisturizer.

A document cannot be entered into evidence unless someone lays a foundation for it. This means that the person offering the evidence must produce testimony sufficient to prove that the item is what the party claims it is.  For example, a person cannot just get up on the stand and argue that a photograph shows you hitting another car in an intersection. The witness must first establish: that the photograph is actually of the intersection in which the accident occurred; how she knows that it is the intersection (e.g., she drives through it daily), and how she knows the day and time the photograph was taken. If a witness fails to make these connections, then she has failed to lay a proper foundation, and the evidence may be excluded by the court. The judge will ultimately determine whether the witness has provided sufficient evidence. Some documents are self-authenticating. For example, domestic records that are sealed and signed, certified copies of public records, newspapers and magazines, as well as acknowledged (notarized) documents do not require a foundation. Generally, a duplicate is admissible. But you can challenge its admissibility if you argue that it is not authentic, or that only a partial duplicate of the original is being offered. For example, if in a criminal trial the prosecution sent off the murder weapon to the lab to test for fingerprints, then the defendant should look through all of the reports describing the movement of the weapon. If the defendant can find a time when the gun is not accounted for as being in police custody, then the chain of custody is broken. The defendant could move to have the evidence thrown out.

TL;DR in English: Move to strike evidence that lacks a proper foundation. Demand the use of original documents. Challenge the chain of custody.

All dogs bark sometimes.  But if your dog barks constantly, it could be unwanted.  Listen for barking that has a clear reason.  For instance, perhaps your dog is barking because someone knocked on the door, or because they hear another dog barking outside.  But if your dog starts barking without any apparent cause and continues to do so for many minutes on end, take corrective action. Sometimes dogs bark because they have pain or some medical condition that causes them to vocalize.  Take careful notes about your dog’s nuisance barking to help your vet make an accurate diagnosis regarding your dog’s health and the reason behind its barking. For instance, you should note when your dog barks, where it barks, how long it barks, the tone of the bark (high and piercing?  low and groaning?), and any related details pertaining to the period in which your dog engaged in nuisance barking (for instance, perhaps your dog was running around the house while barking). If your dog barks because it sees other animals or people outside, find ways to limit your dog’s visual and auditory access to high-traffic areas.  For instance, if your dog frequently starts barking when perched on a sofa near a window, move the sofa to a location where the dog cannot jump on it. If necessary, you could also use baby gates to prevent your dog from accessing parts of the house that often receive the most noise from without. It is hard to completely isolate your dog from seeing or hearing others, and eventually your dog will end up barking even when you wish it didn’t.  Sometimes the best way to correct unwanted barking is to allow your dog to bark two or three times, then say, “Quiet.”  Walk over to your dog and hold its muzzle.  Repeat “Quiet” again.  Then, release your dog, walk away from the window or door, and call your dog over to you.  Have your dog sit and give it a treat. If your dog remains quiet while sitting for about thirty seconds, give it another treat.  As long as your dog continues to sit quietly, feed it treats every thirty...

TL;DR in English: Look for excessive barking. Take your dog to a vet. Limit your dog’s ability to see others. Teach your dog to be quiet. Distract your dog. Use a head halter. Do not encourage your dog to bark. Give your dog more exercise and attention.

A pinch of sea salt or Himalayan pink salt atop the fruit will bring out its sweetness and add depth. It also takes away some of the sour notes of the amla.  You do not need to peel the amla before slicing and eating it. Find fresh amla at an Indian grocery store when it's in season from December to April or order it from an online retailer. Slice the amla and lightly toss the slices with lemon juice and salt. Set the slices on a plate outside in direct sunlight for a few days until they’re completely dry.  Thinner slices will dry faster than thicker ones. You can use a food dehydrator if you have one instead of setting the slices in the sun. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Place the amla in the water with a pinch of turmeric and salt to taste. Let the fruit cook until it’s soft before removing from the heat.  Cutting small slits in the fruit before you boil it will let it soak up the turmeric and salt better. If you like amla a little crunchier, cook it for less time. The saltiness of the pickling neutralizes some of the bitterness of the fruit. Soak the amla in a brine in the refrigerator, making sure the brine completely covers the fruit to keep it preserved.  Serve it over rice or dal, which is an Indian lentil dish. Pickled amla has the same detoxifying benefits as kimchi, which is fermented cabbage. It helps improve digestion and eliminate waste and toxins from your body. Typically, amla chutney contains ingredients like cilantro, green chiles, ginger, garlic, and sea salt. Treat it like a salsa and use it to top steamed vegetables, meat or tofu, or rice. Buy it from a grocer or make it yourself at home.  Look for chutneys that have less preservatives and added chemicals. Chutney is also served with traditional Indian foods like idlis, dosas, and kebabs.

TL;DR in English: Sprinkle salt on fresh amla slices to enhance the flavor. Dry slices of amla in the sun for a superfood snack. Boil amla with salt and turmeric on the stove to reduce the sourness. Pickle amla to preserve it for up to 1 year. Add amla chutney to dishes as a healthy condiment.

. You've got to show this person how awesome you are, but first you need to know how awesome you are. Build up your self confidence if it's sorely lacking. Now, this doesn't mean you have to be loud, boisterous, arrogant, chatty, or forward. It just means getting to a place where you feel comfortable in your own skin.  You can be secure, sweet and humble all at the same time. But be prepared to come out of your shell. Guys like confident, interesting girls who lead their own lives. The only guys who like insecure girls are the ones who are insecure themselves and want to dominate another human being. And who wants to be with a guy who wants a girl to feel bad about herself or who wants to tell you how to be all the time? That's not healthy, and you deserve much better. Without being fake, make an effort to look your best around the guy you like. Guys are visual creatures so looking your best will simply spin the odds in your favor. But most importantly, when you look your best you'll feel your best - giving you the confidence you need to let your awesome personality shine through.  A little make-up can go a long way. You don't need to color-by-number your face, but mascara opens up your eyes, lip-balm enhances your smile, concealer can cover any small insecurities, and tweezers could really help nightmare eyebrows. Just wear what you are comfortable with. Dress in clothes you feel comfortable in. Don't squeeze yourself into a body-con skirt if that's not your usual style. A well-fitting pair of jeans and a top that brings out the color of your eyes is a safe but striking combo. Smile a lot - research has found that people become more attractive to others when they smile, so flash those pearly whites as often as possible to look prettier, as well as friendlier and more approachable. . A guy can't fancy you if he doesn't know you exist. If you haven't caught his eye yet, then get him to notice you. Make sure you show a little interest and drop small hints that you like him.  Most guys won't ask you out because...

You don't want the bulbs to be moist when you put them in storage. To dry the bulbs, place them in a paper bag and set them somewhere that gets a lot of air circulation, like in an open garage or near an open window. To keep your bulbs from decaying, make sure to store them using a tray, paper bag, cardboard box, or similar container. For larger bulbs, a thin mesh bag or sack may also work. Make sure the container lid is left open, that way excess moisture can escape. Avoid any plastic containers as they can cause your bulbs to mold. To keep your plants healthy, store them on top of a layer of sawdust, vermiculite, or peat moss. For plants that require moisture during storage, like those for which the soil was not removed, gently dampen the substance with water. Otherwise, keep it dry. For heartier bulbs like tulips, a layer of newspaper can work as a packing alternative. Keep your container in a dark room free from excessive moisture, such as a basement or closet. This will keep your bulbs from sprouting while in storage. To make sure bulbs don’t grow while in containment, store them at a temperature that will keep them dormant without causing damage. In most cases, this will be around 50 to 60 °F (10 to 16 °C), though individual bulbs may have specialized temperature needs. A damaged bulb can decay very quickly, spreading any illnesses it may have to neighboring plants. To avoid this, check your storage container once a week and remove any problem bulbs.

TL;DR in English: Dry your bulbs for 3-4 days before storing them. Place your bulbs in a breathable container. Fill your container with a natural packing substance. Store your bulbs in a dark, dry place. Store your bulbs at their temperature of dormancy. Check your bulbs regularly.

Before you place anything in your cat’s ear, you should take your cat to see a veterinarian for a diagnosis and examination to make sure it is safe to deliver medication to the ear. An infected ear can have painful and inflamed tissues along with a damaged eardrum. Damage to the inner ear can drive the infection deep into the ear and lead to dangerous problems with balance, pain, loss of appetite and head tilting. If the eardrum is ruptured or damaged, medication can drain into the inner ear and damage the inner ear structures. Before restraining your cat and beginning the process of administering the medication, make sure you read the directions for the medicine. Know the proper dosage of medication to be given prior to starting. Trying to figure out that information after restraining your cat can cause unneeded difficulties. First, make sure you have everything you need before you start. The following items should be close at hand:  Medication. Open it but leave cap on loosely to prevent contamination. A few cotton balls A hand towel A large bath-sized towel

TL;DR in English: Take your cat to the vet. Know the proper dose of medication. Gather the supplies.

Before you start building, it is imperative that you get an accurate measurement of your space. This will help you to buy an accurate amount of supplies and reduce the stress in building.  Walk around your space to decide how wide/long you want the barn to be. Once you've gotten a general space marked off, take exact measurements and keep track of them on a notepad. Decide how high you want your structure to be. If you plan on using it as a garage or a storage shed, a minimum of 8 feet (2.4 m) is required. You can build it as tall as you would like though; just remember that you will have to work on the roof from the tops of the poles once they are in the ground. Make sure that the area you choose has good drainage to avoid flooding in the rainy season. If so, then you will need to hire someone to set these up. You will also need to call 811, the national Digline to have utility companies come out and check for pipes and wires underground. Pull out any shrubs or trees in the space where you plan on placing your structure, in addition to a 5 foot (1.5 m) wide space around it. If you have grass down, use a sod-cutter to remove it and cut it away in pieces. It can be replanted in another area of your yard if you desire, or be used to start a compost pile. Make sure the area you are working with is level. It is easiest to use a tractor to do this, by moving soil from one area to another. You can do this manually though, especially when the area you are working on is already pretty level. Check to see if any base rock is needed to build up the floor of the barn. If so, then add 4 to 6 inches of decomposed granite or a similar type of smaller, easily compacted gravel material for a dirt floor and drainage. You do this to mark the outline of the building you plan on making. This will make laying out the post-holes much easier, and help to keep the structure in perspective during the beginning stages. Put a small stake in each of the four corners of your building, and then wrap a long piece of string or twine between...

TL;DR in English: Measure the space. Determine if there will be water and electricity going to the building. Remove any obstacles in the area. Level the ground. Create a string-line.

so your pet can enter and exit at will. Dogs often scratch at doors when they want to go inside or outside. To fix this, you can purchase a dog door from a pet supply or home improvement store and install it near the bottom of your door. In most cases, you can install a dog door by cutting a hole in your door with a jigsaw and pushing your dog door inside the opening. However, be sure to check your dog door’s instruction manual for model-specific information. your dog’s nails so it can’t scratch. To file your dog’s nails, first make sure your pet is calm and relaxed. Then, grab 1 of your pet’s paws and sand the nails down using a filing tool or pumice stone. File each nail between 10 and 15 times, then repeat the process with your dog’s other paws.  While filing, avoid the pink areas that start near the center of each nail. These contain blood vessels and nerves that, when cut, can cause your dog a lot of pain. If you’d like, you can clip your dog’s nails first and file them down after. If your dog usually scratches the door while you’re at work, school, or a similar place, consider hiring a pet sitter to come and check on it throughout the day. In some areas, you may even be able to take your pet to a doggie day care program to keep it away from your door and other valuables. For a slightly cheaper alternative, consider hiring a dog walker instead of a sitter. Dogs often damage things when they have a lot of built up energy and no way to release it. To avoid this, make sure to walk your dog often and play games with it whenever it starts to act hyper. If possible, keep playing until your dog is ready to lie down and relax. If you keep your dog occupied, it won’t have time to even think about the door, let alone scratch it. The easiest way to accomplish this is by leaving chew toys, bones, and similar objects around the door so that, if your dog approaches the entrance, it will focus primarily on the fun objects. In addition to toys, consider purchasing food dispensing objects that, when filled with treats,...

Often, your doctor will prescribe medication along side your lifestyle changes to get your blood pressure down. Thiazide diuretics such as chlorthalidone, hydrochlorothiazide reduce the fluid volume in your heart and help relax the vessels. This lowers the pressure put on them, which lowers your blood pressure. These medications are taken once a day. The side effects include low sodium and potassium, which can lead to dizziness, vomiting, fatigue, muscle weakness, and irregular heart beat. They may also make you urinate more often. Calcium channel blockers, such as amlodipine, nicardipine, nifedipine, verapamil, and diltiazem, are potent vasodilators. This means they work by relaxing the muscles in the walls of the vessels. This, in turn, helps the blood flow easier, which lowers your blood pressure. Take these medications one to three a day as directed. The side effects can include swelling in the lower extremities and decreased heart rate. Angiotensin II inhibitors include two classes of medications, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). ACE inhibitors include medications such as captopril, enalapril, and lisinopril. ARBs include medication such as  irbesartan, losartan, and valsartan. These medications inhibit Angiotensin II, a hormone that causes narrowing of the blood vessels and increased fluid retention in the heart.  These medications are taken in similar ways. Take them one to three times daily. The major side effects include hypotension, which can cause dizziness and fainting. Other common side effects include elevated potassium, muscle weakness, irregular heart beat, and cough.  These are often prescribed for younger patients. There are two additional medications that you can take for hypertension when other methods and lifestyle changes do not work for you. Beta blockers include medications such as carvedilol, esmolol, labetalol, metoprolol, nadolol, propranolol, and timolol. Alpha blockers include medications such as doxazosin and prazosin.....

on't hit the snooze button. It's tempting to get a few extra minutes of sleep in the morning by hitting "snooze" on the alarm; however, doing so can make you groggy, which means you'll want to sleep even more. Try to get up as soon as the alarm starts to go off.  Don't set multiple alarms, either. You may like waking up to the first alarm knowing you have another 15 or 30 minutes to sleep before your "real" alarm goes off, but this will interrupt your sleep cycle and make it harder to get up when it's time. One way to ensure you wake up is to make sure your alarm clock isn't within arm's reach. Basically, you don't want to be able to hit snooze. Try moving it across the room so you have to get out of bed to turn it off. Another thing that can help you wake up is to use a natural light alarm clock. It's like having a little sun in your bedroom to wake you up. You can make getting up easier by having something you love every morning. Maybe it's as simple as a cup of tea or a coffee, or maybe you have a bowl of your favorite cereal. Use something you love as a motivation to get up and moving.

TL;DR in English: . Look forward to something.

You likely already have many of the parts you’ll need for this project, excluding some of the electrical components. These can be bought at most hardware stores, home centers, and electronics stores. You’ll need:  1 megaohm resistor (x1) 10nF capacitor (x1) 15–20 inches (38–51 cm) of red insulated wire 15–20 inches (38–51 cm) of black insulated wire 45–60 feet (14–18 m) of 26 AWG (0.4 mm) enamelled wire (for the inductor) 200pF variable tuning capacitor (160pF will do. Up to 500pF works) 22uF electrolytic capacitor, (10v or higher) (x1) 33pF capacitor (x1) 50–100 ft (15–30 m) insulated wire (any color; for the antenna) 9-volt battery (x1) Electronics breadboard Electrical tape Operational amplifier, type 741 or equivalent (also called an op-amp; x1) Toilet paper tube, or small, non-conductive cylinder, 1.75–2 inches (44–51 mm) in diameter (glass bottle, cardboard/plastic tube, etc.) Speaker Wire strippers (or a similar item, like sharp scissors or a knife) Small knife or medium grit sandpaper The antenna is one of the simplest parts of a homemade radio: all you need is a long piece of wire. Ideally, the wire should be 50 feet (15.2 m) long, but if you don’t have that much, you can use as little as 15 or 20 feet (4.6 or 6.1 m).  When choosing wire for your antenna, prioritize small diameter insulated wire (like ones in the 20- or 22-gauge), as these work best. Boost the reception of your antenna by looping its insulated wire into a coiled circle. You can keep the coil from unraveling with zip ties or electrical tape. Loop 50 feet (15.2 m) of wire about 5 times. Jumper wires will connect components installed on the breadboard later. Cut one piece of black wire and one piece of red wire so that each is about 5 inches (12.7 cm) long.  Use wire strippers (or a sharp knife) to remove about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) of insulation from both ends of each piece of wire. Jumper wires can always be cut down to size if they turn out to be too long, so you may want to cut these a little on the long side at first. When you wrap...

You will want to be sure the internship is one which might be related to or help your future career goals. The point of an internship is to give you experience which you can use and make you more employable, so make it count. Internships will have different time requirements. Some may be full time, some may be part time, and some may be only a few hours a month. You will need to decide what fits best with your schedule, especially if you will need to hold down a second job while working the internship. You will need to figure out the furthest you are willing to commute in relation to the time commitment of the internship. This will limit the areas in which you can look for an internship. Some internships don’t pay, some pay only a very small amount, and some pay like any entry level position. You will need to determine what your budget is and if you can afford to have an unpaid internship. If you cannot, you may need to have another job on the side.

TL;DR in English: Determine your field. Determine your availability. Determine your maximum commute. Determine your financial needs.
