Using soaps or perfumes can seriously aggravate or irritate your pubic area. Your pubic region has a specific pH level and certain soaps can throw this off.  Use specially pH balanced pubic washes to clean your pubic hair if you must use a product. You can find these washes over the counter or by asking your local pharmacist. Do not use deodorant, talcum powder, shampoo, or fragranced wipes to clean your pubic hair. This can be especially tempting if you are experiencing unpleasant odors from your pubic region. After using the toilet, you may want to wipe your pubic region with a damp towel or tissue paper. This will help you maintain the cleanliness of your pubic hair. Regularly wiping after using the toilet is essential in stopping the spread of harmful bacteria around your pubic region. Pubic hair, especially, is a great breeding ground for these germs. Moisture can cause irritation. Keeping your pubic hair dry can prevent discomfort and bacteria from growing.  Dry your pubic hair completely before putting on clothes after showering. Wear looser clothing and avoid nylon, synthetic, or tight clothing where moisture can be trapped. This is especially important when temperatures are high and sweating occurs down there. There's no firm evidence that having excessive pubic hair can trap germs or debris in your pubic region; however, trimming down the excess may make you feel cleaner. Depending on your preference, you may choose to trim pubic hair for a cleaner appearance.  You may feel ashamed or embarrassed if you have a lot of pubic hair. However, having pubic hair is a sign of maturity and having a lot of it is not a bad thing. And keeping your pubic hair clean and manageable is an important task to keep up your own personal health and hygiene. While trimming your pubic hair is okay, try to avoid shaving it off completely on a regular basis. Pubic hair protects against certain harmful bacteria and viruses, making it more difficult for them to enter the body. Regularly shaving that sensitive area could also...

TL;DR in English: Wash your pubic hair using warm water. Wipe your pubic area with a wet towel or tissue paper. Keep your pubic hair dry. Trim your pubic hair, if desired.

Training does not just refer to practicing and sparring - it extends, for example, to obtaining an adequate amount of sleep. Olympians sleep an average of 8 hours every night, so aim to sleep this same amount. In addition, consider taking a 30-minute nap in the early afternoon to refuel your energy levels. Observe your current dietary habits and consider whether there are changes you could make to reach your goals. For example, if your goal is to lose weight but you eat huge portions for dinner, you might want to space out your meals throughout the day so that you can burn off more calories while sleeping. Consult a nutritionist to create a balanced diet plan that is tailored to your specific needs and health concerns. While sparring and practicing taekwondo techniques are important parts of training to become an Olympic fighter, you will also want to spend time in the weight room and working on core strength and flexibility. These are areas you must be well-rounded in in order to compete at an elite level. Consider signing up for a yoga class - you will get both physical and mental benefits that could complement your training. Aside from physical practice, Olympic athletes prepare psychologically for matches. Pick a mantra that motivates you before you step on the mat, read inspirational quotes or books, and, most importantly, develop a routine that you do not stray from. Successful Olympic athletes create and stick to a physical and mental preparation routine that will be reassuring when in a new setting for a match. Visualize your routine. Imagine all of the sensory input you will be getting, like the cheers of the crowd, the approach of your opponent, or the impact of your attack. This will motivate you as well as allow you to anticipate some of the surprise elements of the big day, which otherwise could work to your disadvantage. Family, friends, and teammates can boost your energy when training is not going as expected and can also be your #1 source of support when you win a tournament. Keep them...

TL;DR in English: Get enough sleep. Maintain a healthy diet. Vary your exercise routine. Prepare mentally. Build a support network. Be passionate.

The belief that some races are superior while others are inferior is the foundation of racism. If you believe deep down that the race you belong to (or one you don't belong to) has qualities that make it better than other races, that is racist thinking. Be honest with yourself about what you believe. Do you stereotype people based on their race? For example, it's racist to believe that all members of a certain race are untrustworthy. It's equally racist to believe that all members of a certain race are smart. Applying any one stereotype to all members of a race is racist thinking.  Many people who practice this type of racism believe that it's harmless. For example, they might think assuming a person of a certain race is smarter than average is a compliment. However, since this assumption is based on a racial stereotype, it's not a compliment: it's racist. In worst-case scenarios, judging people based on stereotypes can be extremely dangerous. For example, innocent people are frequently targeted as criminals due to the color of their skin, even when they haven't committed any crime. Let's say someone you've never met before is introduced to you at a work function. First impressions always come with a few snap judgments, but are yours generally racial in tone? Do you assume things about the person based on skin color? That's a racist tendency.  Racism isn't limited to judging based on skin color. If you make judgments based on someone's attire, accent, hairstyle, jewelry, or other aspects of their appearance related to their race, those judgments also fall into the racism category.  The judgments you make can be positive or negative, but in either case, they are racist. Whether you assume the person is funny, sexual, scary, or any other quality, it's still making a judgment based on a stereotype. When you hear someone else point something out as racist, are you able to understand their point? Or do you tend to think it isn't really racist? Racism is a major problem in just about every country in the world. If...

TL;DR in English: See if you think some races are better or worse than others. See if you think all members of a race have certain qualities. Pay attention to snap judgments you make when you meet someone. Think about whether you tend to dismiss concerns about racism. Think about whether you usually notice racial injustice.

If you are feeling the urge to cut yourself, go somewhere it is harder to do. This can be some place public like a shop or the living room of your home with your family or your roommates. This will make it harder for you to give in to the urge to cut. It also might make you feel better, especially if you are around people who love and support you. If you're alone in your house or are unable to leave, call someone you like to talk with when you get the urge to cut. This can be a family member, a trusted friend, or a hotline. It might be helpful to create a phone list of people you can call. You can also program needed numbers into your phone.  There are many hotlines you can call for help. One is 1-800-273-TALK, a 24-hour crisis hotline for those who are about to self-harm or are in an emergency situation. You can also call 1-800-334-HELP, the Self Injury Foundation’s 24-hour national crisis line. Also try 1-800-DONT-CUT, which provides information about self-harm. If you hurt yourself or want to see a doctor, call 1-800-366-8288, which is S.A.F.E. Alternatives’ information line for immediate support and referrals to a local physician. If you are in the UK, you can call the Samaritans at 116 123, which is an agency that runs 24/7 and is dedicated to moments when you want to self-harm. You can also call Childline, a hotline for children and teens at 0800 1111. Both numbers are free from mobiles and landlines and neither will appear on your phone bill. One great way to avoid self-harm is to distract yourself. Not every distraction technique works for everyone, so you may need to try a few before you find which one works for you. Sometimes the trigger or urge can be different depending on your feelings or the situation, which means your response to prevent or stop self-harm will also be different.  Try the butterfly method. When you have the urge to cut, draw a butterfly where you want to harm yourself and name it after a loved one or someone that wants you to get better. If you cut, the butterfly dies. You have...

TL;DR in English: Go somewhere you can't cut yourself. Call someone. Distract yourself. Delay cutting.

Paris is bustling with tourists in July and August – in fact, it boasts 27 million visitors, making it the most visited city in the world. Actual residents tend to flee during this time, meaning you'll just be surrounded by other tourists. It's better to go April through June or September through November. Christmas is beautiful with the city all lit up, but November through February is their cold, rainy season. That being said, most fashion shows are in September and October, making it more difficult to get a hotel, and at an off-season price (slightly lower than normal). Your best bet, if it works for your schedule, may be the spring. Apart from early-in-the-week flights being cheaper, there are a couple of things to consider:  Aim to arrive in Paris on a Sunday or Monday if you'll be using the Metro a lot. This way you'll be able to take advantage of purchasing a Metro (Paris metropolitan subway) Navigo Découverte pass – a weekly pass in the form of a reloadable "smart card." The Navigo Week pass price, valid only from Monday at 00:00 to Sunday 23:59:59, does not go on-sale until Monday and is not sold during the weekend.  If you purchase on Thursday, then your week is already half-gone. If you're museum-focused, arrive on a Saturday, a day before the first Sunday of the month. Most Paris museums (there are over 3,800 museums in Paris) are free on the first Sunday of the month. When possible, try to choose the same airline on all flights (as opposed to flying one portion with one airline to a connecting airport, then flying with an affiliate airline). It's also best to book your flight around two to three months in advance. Research shows that it's during this time that flights are at their lowest prices.  Be aware that almost all international flights from the United States to Paris's Charles de Gaulle airport will be incoming into Terminal 1. You may want to visit the CDG website for more information.  Call  your airline in advance and ask for assistance at the airport if you have suffered any injury or...

Decide what types of insects to feed your leopard gecko. Go to your local pet store. Buy insects. Keep insects in a separate container from your gecko. Buy nutritional supplements.

Any contaminants on the pinch-weld will reduce adhesion of the urethane and the windshield. The pinch-weld usually has old urethane about ¼” thick more or less and it needs to be trimmed down to 3/16” or about 3 mm Any rusty areas or areas with loose/damaged urethane will need to be sanded back to bare metal to remove all rust. You will want to cover any areas that were not sanded, and protect the inside of your vehicle using tape and sheets of paper or plastic. This will prevent the primer from getting on anything other than bare metal. This will help with adhesion of the urethane, but also is necessary to prevent the metal from rusting in the future. Priming the metal will require to spray on three thin, even coats of primer. Do not try to put on one heavy coat.

TL;DR in English: Clean away any visible dirt with a brush and then plain water. Trim off excess urethane with a razor. Remove any rust from the pinch-weld. Tape off the area around the spot. Prime any bare metal.

The anvil is round piece with a small rod sticking out the top. The bottom is made of two cylinders, a wide one on the bottom and a thinner one on top. You want the tubing to reach the height of this bottom section, as this is actually the height of your flair.  Set the anvil next to your tube, loosen the clamp, and raise the tube to the same height as the "shoulders" of the anvil. Make sure the anvil is the same size as the tubing you're using. The hole the tube is in should be marked with measurement (ie, 3/16") that needs to match the measurement found on the bottom of the anvil (3/16"). The only lubricating fluid you should use on a brake system is a brake fluid. Do not use motor oil. Put a few drips in the line, and a couple on top of the anvil. The top is the side with the rod poking out. Turn the anvil upside-down and thread the rod on top into the hole in the tube. I should sit comfortably in the tube. For now, just attach it loosely, so you can move it around still. You want to take your time lining this up, as this is how the line actually gets flared. Luckily, the point is made to fit snugly into the anvil. You want to make sure, however, that it is not diagonal, off-kilter, or otherwise misplaced. Once you have the right angle, tighten the yoke down so that it cannot move. Just turn until the bottom of the anvil sits comfortably on the flat anvil base, then unscrew it and remove the anvil. This creates your first flare. Don't use excessive force here, or you could damage the flare. Slow, even force is all you'll need. Simply remove the anvil and repeat the process, tightening the cone directly into your tube. Again, you want to stop when it is flush with the top of the flaring base. Also, you again don't want to use strong or excessive force. Slow and steady is perfect. This will ensure your entire braking system is working properly. This process is simple and easy. Keep flaring lines, or go ahead and use this one for your repair needs.

TL;DR in English: Adjust the height of the tube so it reaches the height of your flaring anvil. Drop a few drops of brake fluid into the line and on the top of the anvil. Insert the rod of the anvil into the brake tube. Grab the yoke, E-shaped flaring tool with an adjustable conical point in the center, and clamp it to the flaring base. Line up the flaring cone so that it press down squarely into the anvil. Tighten the flaring cone, boring into the anvil, until the anvil is flush with the base. Without moving the yoke, bore the flaring cone directly into your tube until it is flush. Spray down the finished lines with brake cleaner and compressed air to remove any metal shavings or dust. Remove the line from the flaring tool, then install the brake lines like normal.

After graduating from med school, you will need to complete a 3-year medical residency in internal medicine to become an endocrinologist. During your residency, you’ll be supervised by a licensed physician and can work in a hospital, clinic, or other medical facility. You will diagnose and treat real patients as well as make patient assessments and conduct research. A fellowship program takes 2-3 years and will take place at a medical facility such as a clinic or hospital. It is similar to a residency, except that you will specialize in endocrinology. A board-certified endocrinologist will supervise you as you diagnose, monitor, treat, and support patients that have problems with their endocrine systems. Patients with endocrine issues may have diabetes, hormonal imbalances, or fertility or reproductive problems. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, or AACE, helps endocrinologists access the latest research in the field and provide the best care to their patients. Joining this organization gives you access to their medical journals and can also put you in touch with other endocrinologists. Networking with your new contacts can help you find desirable positions in private practices, clinics, or hospitals. To learn more, visit the AACE website at https://www.aace.com/. The cost to become an AACE member is $295 per year.

TL;DR in English: Finish a residency program. Complete a fellowship. Join the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.

See what comes up. Someone else may have already thought of it before, or it may be too similar to something else. Once you've verified that your title is original, see what other results your search produces; this is a good time to find out if some part of your title might be obscure or overused, and what else people are searching for when they come across your fanfiction. Now that you've got a name for your fanfiction, go back over your story with this title as your new frame of reference. Does it do an adequate job summing up or characterizing your story? Does it make sense in context after reading it, or will readers fail to apprehend its meaning? Just as you proofread your writing to look for inconsistencies, double-check your title to make sure that it's a fit for the completed work. Rereading your fanfiction will give you another opportunity to mine for other potential titles that might better serve the story. Ask a friend to look over your fanfiction and give you their thoughts, particularly on the title choice. You wrote it to be read, so this will also give you your first opportunity to have other eyes on your story and receive some initial feedback. Have your friend point out the strengths and weaknesses of your story where the relation to the title is concerned.  Ask the person reading your fanfiction to tell you what they think of the title before and after reading the story. If it's not strong enough to interest them before they read the story, you may need to rework it. Find a friend that is impartial or more likely to give you honest criticism. Ask them to be specific: hearing "it's good" benefits no one. Before you commit to your title, consider what inspired your fanfiction. If it directly borrows from source material, make sure the title you've chosen is in keeping with the style of the source while also being original enough to distinguish itself as your own original work.

TL;DR in English: Run a search for your title. Reread your story. Have someone else read your fanfiction. Stand out from your source.

Regardless of your state, you need to take a licensing exam to become a medical examiner. You may also want to look into official certification, as some states require this for hiring.  Know the specific requirements of a medical examiner in your state. There is no one exam or one certification program that is accepted nationwide.  How to study for an exam or prepare for certification depends on your state. However, if you've completed the necessary education you should be able to successfully pass. Study the basics before the exam and consult study guides specific to the exam you take. For more information regarding state-by-state licensing and certification, look at the website of the American College of Forensic Examiners Institute. They provide license and certifications that are accepted in many states. Medical examiner positions are usually in high demand, and the position has a high growth rate. You should be able to find positions to apply for in a variety of locations.  Ask your contacts from med school, your residency, and your fellowship. Oftentimes, connections are what are most likely to help you find a job. Let people know you are looking for a job and to pass any relevant job leads onto you. Go to online job boards, like Indeed and Monster, to browse positions. This is a great way to job hunt if you're looking for a job in a different state or region. When forming your resume, put your most relevant education and work experience on the top. If you worked or interned in a hospital during med school, mention this information but leave out non-medical related jobs you might have taken during school to make ends meet. While waiting to hear back on the jobs you've applied to, brush up on good interview skills. If you get a call back, you'll be prepared to give an impressive interview.  Always listen in an interview. If they ask if you have any questions, always ask a broad, open-ended question to convey interest. Something like "What is the culture of this hospital like?" is far better than "When...

TL;DR in English: Complete a licensing exam (or exams). Apply for positions. Learn good interview skills.

Leopard geckos can eat a wide variety of insects. The most commonly available insects are mealworms, waxworms, and crickets.  Geckos can also eat mealworms and superworms. However, these aren't the best feeders so they shouldn't be used as a staple diet. Waxworms should only be used as treats as they are very fatty and addictive. Crickets and Dubia roaches provide better nutrition. Other options are hornworms for treats and silkworms and Phoenix worms (a.k.a Black Soldier fly larva or calci-worms) for variety. Variety is very important in a leopard gecko’ diet. Different insects give your gecko different nutrition. This is why it is a good idea to vary the insects you are feeding your gecko. Any pet store should have the insects you will need to feed your gecko. These insects are fed to a variety of types of pets, such as frogs, iguanas, and other types of lizards.  Just to be sure, however, feel free to call the pet store before you go to make sure that the insects you want are in stock. Don't just try to collect bugs outside. Feeding your gecko random bugs will not give it the nutrition that it needs. Another problem with bugs from outside is that they may contain parasites, which you definitely don't want to feed your gecko. Additionally, buying bugs at a pet store will guarantee that you have enough to keep your gecko well fed. How many insects you buy will depend on how often you want to go to the pet store and how long the insects live. In general, you will only feed your gecko a few insects at a time, every other day. To begin with, only buy enough insects for a week or two. This will allow you to learn how long they live and how to extend their lives. As you get used to dealing with the insects, you can gradually buy more.  If you want to buy crickets in bulk and keep them alive, you will need to give them food and water.  In fact, crickets need to be gut-loaded before they are fed to your gecko. Many crickets bought at a pet store are practically starving. This means feeding them a high-quality food,...

Animal shelters, humane societies, and foster networks have a great selection of cats who need loving homes. In the United States, 6-8 million pets are in shelters every year, but only about half are adopted. Visit your local humane society or animal shelter, or look online to see if there are cats in need of a home in your area.  Pets adopted from shelters often cost less than purchasing a cat from a breeder or pet store. Cats from pet stores and breeders can cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars, but it’s rare for a shelter or foster network to charge more than $100 or $200 to rehome a cat. You don’t have to buy from a breeder to adopt a purebred cat. There are many rescue organizations that rescue abandoned or mistreated purebreds. In fact, up to 25% of pets in animal shelters are purebreds.  Talk with the employees or volunteers at the shelter. They often can tell you the history of the cat, as well as any medical or behavioral issues the cat has. Investigate any breeder’s reputation before purchasing a cat. If you can, visit and examine the conditions the cats are being kept in for yourself. The last thing you want to do is contribute to breeders mistreating animals. If you see cats being mistreated or feel that the breeder is not being upfront with you, don’t buy a cat from the operation.  Look for telltale signs of cat abuse, such as piles of cat hair everywhere, overwhelming odor, injured animals, and overgrown nails. The cats should be healthy and should seem happy. Ask about the cat you’re considering. Ask the breeder about whether it will be likely to have any health issues, behavioral problems, or special needs. The breeder should sound knowledgeable and honest about any issues. Make sure the cats are comfortable with other animals and people. Be very suspicious of unreasonably low prices. A designer breed that should cost thousands of dollars being sold for a few hundred suggests that the breeder is either cutting corners or being dishonest about the cat. On the other hand, sky-high prices...

There is likely an underlying root for not showing your emotions. Perhaps you grew up in an environment where showing your emotions was frowned upon, or you are suppressing strong emotions so you don’t have to deal with them. Think about events in your life that may have been tragic that you haven’t dealt with. Do you fear talking about those events? Understanding why you aren’t showing your emotions will help you move forward and express your emotions in the future. There are six basic human emotions: happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust. You must understand how each emotion is felt inside, and how to show them outwardly, so you can then express yourself appropriately.  Positive emotions include happiness and surprise. Happiness is felt around the body and involves feeling content and safe. Surprise is felt as a sudden jolt in the head and chest region. Negative emotions include anger, disgust, sadness, and fear. Anger is felt from the shoulder blades up through the back of your head as heat. Disgust, which is felt mainly in the stomach, often leads to feelings of nausea. Sadness feels physically painful in the chest and upwards. Fear involves a quickening heart rate, heavy breathing, and sweatiness. Emotions drive our decision making, according to recent neurological studies. Without feeling some emotion towards a decision, it is nearly impossible to define a position on a topic. Understanding that decision making and emotions are connected can help you become emotionally aware, which you can use to your advantage. For example, if you are making a decision at work that frightens you, recognize your decision might be biased, and make a logic-based, instead of a fear-based decision. Every time you feel something, pause for a moment and ask yourself, “What is this emotion?” If you are in a meeting with your boss, and begin to feel agitated, instead of suppressing or ignoring the emotion, take three seconds to recognize that you are feeling something. Remind yourself that your emotions are...

TL;DR in English: Identify reasons for hiding your emotions. Understand the basic emotions. Understand how emotions affect your decision-making. Acknowledge each emotion. Be culpable to your emotions. Talk to someone about your emotions.

Add cushioning wherever there's a lot of pressure and/or friction. There are cushions made in various shapes and from different materials that you can stick on the inside of your shoe for more comfortable walking, thus preventing bunions and blisters. If your shoes are slightly too big and you find them slipping off your heel, get some insoles which can make the shoes smaller by half a size, while also adding comfort value. Use these innovative items generously—there's really no need for discomfort! Shoes with straps that fasten securely around your foot and ankle are more comfortable to wear as they prevent your foot from slipping around too much inside the shoe, reducing friction and pain. Platform shoes give you all the benefits of extra height, without the discomfort of feeling like you're standing on your tip toes. Your foot is more parallel to the ground in a platform shoe, making them a great option for nights on the dance floor!

TL;DR in English: Use cushions and insoles. Wear strappy, platformed shoes.

Lavender seeds can take a while to germinate and should be started early indoors so that they have plenty of time to grow into mature plants during the warm growing season. " Place your seeds between 2 wet paper towels, then put them into a sealable plastic bag. Store the bag with the seeds in the refrigerator, leaving it there for at least 3 weeks. If you purchased your seeds, they've already gone through this process. Only stratify your seeds if you harvested them yourself from another plant. The seed starting mix should be a light potting mix that drains well. You can either use a plastic seedling tray or a wide, shallow container without divisions. Sprinkle the seeds on top of the soil. There's no need to bury the seeds, but you should sprinkle a light layer of soil over the seeds.  If using a plastic seedling tray, plant one seed per slot. If planting in a division-free container, space the seeds 1/2 to 1 inch (1.27 to 2.54 cm) apart. A light coating of potting mix protects the seeds, but the seeds also need access to sunlight in order to germinate. A heat tray often works best, but another work location may also work as long as the temperature remains around 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius). Keep the growing medium moist, but not damp, and water the seeds in the morning so that the soil can dry some before evening hits. Soil that is too damp and cool will invite fungus to grow, and fungus will destroy your seeds. Lavender seeds can take two weeks to one month to sprout. Monitor your seeds while you wait for them to sprout. Make sure the soil stays wet while you wait for them to sprout, and keep the seeds in a sunny area. After the seeds sprout, you should move the container to a location that receives plenty of direct sunlight. If no such location is available, place a fluorescent grow light about the sprouts and allow them to sit in the artificial light for eight hours a day.

TL;DR in English: Start the seeds 6 to 12 weeks before warm weather hits. Put harvested seeds through a process called "cold stratifying. Fill a container with seed starting mix. Plant the seeds. Cover the seeds with 1/8 inch (1/3 cm) potting mix. Keep the seeds in a warm spot. Lightly water the seeds. Wait for your seeds to sprout. Give sprouted seeds plenty of light.

Pay attention to the size differences if a pattern provides them. Instructions will generally be listed with the smallest size first and the others in parentheses in this format: S (M, L, XL).  For example, if a pattern tells you to cast on 10 (12, 14, 16) stitches to begin and you want to make a size Large, you would choose 14 stitches to cast on.  Note the dimensions that the pattern provides for the completed size. The right size for you will likely differ from the typical size you would buy in a store. It is useful to use a highlighter to mark the corresponding numbers for the size you choose to knit throughout the entire pattern before you begin. This makes it much easier to follow the instructions according to your size. The size of the finished item is sometimes stated as the size "after blocking."  Blocking is a technique of shaping fabric, usually after washing.  For instance, many sweaters are blocked by laying them out and patting them into place while they are still damp, then leaving them to dry. Follow the meanings for these phrases when they appear:   As established: Continue to knit the center part of a pattern that you have already set up (the pattern may call for adding or subtracting stitches at either end of the center pattern).

TL;DR in English:


Signal early. Don't linger in the blind spots. Give yourself room to merge. Don’t slow down.

It is very important to treat all women as human beings and as equals, not just as potential wives or girlfriends.  You might be apprehensive about talking to women because the ones you usually try to talk to are the ones you’re very attracted to and have a hard time conversing with naturally.  But if you talk to more women, not just the ones who seem like potential dates, you'll get a lot of practice talking to women which you can apply to the rest of your life.  After all, 50% of people on earth are women; you’ll need to talk to some of them at some point. Talking to women should not always be with some ulterior motive in mind like getting a date.  Talk to women as you would any other (male) friend.  Consider your conversation with women as a mutually beneficial exchange through which you can grow as a person. Being honest about who you really are and what you think is a skill few possess.  Being yourself will put you more at ease around women.  If you put on a show in order to overcome your fear of women -- engaging in braggadocio or bravado -- you will eventually be found out, plus you’ll be unhappy since you’ll feel obligated to constantly be the person you initially pretended to be. For instance, if a woman is really into Western films, you should not pretend to also be into Western films just to impress her or make her think you're cool.  Use your ignorance as an opportunity to let her wax poetic about High Plains Drifter.  Ask lots of engaging questions like "When did it come out?" and "Who starred in it?"  The conversation should be an opportunity to learn about the other person and their interests as much as an opportunity for you to demonstrate who you are. Instead of crossing your arms or looking down at your feet, look women in the eye and keep your hands in your pockets or at your sides.  Greet everyone with a smile. When telling a story or a joke, use your hands to emphasize and illustrate what you’re saying. A wag of the finger or an open, upward-facing palm are two examples of common hand...

TL;DR in English: Talk to all women. Be yourself. Use friendly body language. Talk about what she wants to talk about. Try talking to women with a friend or in groups. Don’t talk to women who are rude and uninterested. Make sure you’re not taking things the wrong way. Be patient.

Only use soap made for washing down material, as it will be gentle on the stuffing in the sleeping bag. Avoid using regular detergents and soaps, as they are too harsh and can damage the down. Look for down soap at your local hardware store or online. Follow the instructions on the label to determine how much soap to use. If your sleeping bag is stuffed with synthetic materials, get a fragrance-free soap made for use on synthetic insulation. Check your local superstore or look online for a speciality soap for synthetic materials. You can also use a mild soap like Woolite in a pinch as long as it is fragrance-free.  Consult the instructions on the label to determine how much soap to use to clean the sleeping bag. Do not use powdered or liquid laundry detergent, bleach, or fabric softeners on down or synthetic sleeping bags, as they can leave residue behind and ruin the material. If you have a front-loading machine at home, use it to wash the sleeping bag. Go to a laundromat if you do not have a front-loading washing machine, as their commercial-sized front-loading machines will be gentle enough to wash the sleeping bag without damaging it. Do not use a top-loading washer, as it will be too harsh on the sleeping bag and tear the material. Let the machine run once on a gentle cycle with nothing in it. This will remove any soap, residue, or debris in the machine so none of it gets on the sleeping bag. Turning the sleeping bag inside out will ensure it gets a good clean, as sweat and body oils tend to accumulate inside the bag. Close all the zippers and fasten all the Velcro closures on the sleeping bag. Loosen all the drawstrings so the fabric is exposed, and open the foot vent on the sleeping bag, if there is one. If your sleeping bag does not have a waterproof lining inside, leave it turned right side out. Place the sleeping bag and the soap in the washing machine. Then, set the cycle to gentle or delicate and a low temperature. The wash should take 40-50 minutes, depending on the machine. Run the machine again...

TL;DR in English: Use soap formulated for a down-filled sleeping bag, if applicable. Get soap designed for synthetic materials if the bag isn't made of down. Wash the bag in a front-loading washing machine. Rinse out the machine by running an empty cycle. Turn the sleeping bag inside out if it has a waterproof lining. Wash the sleeping bag on a gentle cycle at the lowest temperature. Add an additional rinse cycle to ensure all the soap is removed.

Be interesting by relying stories in an entertaining way when you talk to people in your friend circle or at parties. Choose a memorable experience from a recent trip or discuss a funny experience at the grocery store. Use a personal story to connect with others and be social.  Include only the important parts of the story, or the highlights, so your listeners are entertained. Use your body and your voice when telling the story so it is engaging. Talk with your hands, maintain eye contact, and create a character with your voice. Show pictures of your unique experiences too! Keep these on your phone for easy access when you need them. When talking to others, try to find out what you have in common. Talking about shared interests will engage the other person and make them more interested in getting to know you.  When meeting someone, ask questions like "what are your hobbies?" or "what do you enjoy doing?" Remember that the more you try new things and experiences, the easier it will be to find similar interests with other people. Pose questions that are thoughtful and relate to what the person is talking about. Ask follow up questions about something you do not understand or are more curious about. This will show others that you are paying attention to what they have to say and interested in the conversation. For example, you may ask questions like, “What was it like working the night shift?” or “How did you adjust to moving to Canada at a young age?” Try not to close yourself to meeting new people and engaging them in conversation. Instead, put yourself in situations where you have the opportunity to meet others, such as parties, meetups, or events. Be open to exposing yourself to new people and interesting discussions so you can be well-rounded and in touch with what is going on.  For example, you may challenge yourself to go to social events in your area at least once a week to meet new people. Or you may try talking to strangers in public places to try to meet someone new. To meet new people, try going to...

TL;DR in English: Tell good stories about your experiences. Connect with others about common interests. Ask engaging questions in conversations. Be open to meeting new people.

Place the saucepan on the stove and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the squirrel meat to simmer until tender, about an hour and a half.  Be sure to simmer, not boil the meat; it should not be falling off the bone when you remove it from heat. If you have an older squirrel, it may take longer for the meat to become tender. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove extra moisture. Set the pieces on a plate.  Heat the oil over medium high heat.  The oil should cover the bottom of the pan and come 1/4 way up the sides. To deep fry the squirrel pieces, heat an inch of oil into a dutch oven or large saucepan. To test whether the oil is hot enough to fry, dip the handle of a wooden spoon into the oil. When the oil bubbles rapidly around the spoon, it's ready to fry. Coat the pieces one at a time, and lay them in the frying pan. Repeat until all the squirrel pieces have been dredged and are cooking in the pan. Cook until the breading is golden brown. Serve with foods that usually accompany fried chicken: mashed potatoes, corn, or green beans. Eat carefully, since the squirrel pieces have tiny bones.

TL;DR in English: Place the squirrel pieces in a large saucepan and cover with water. Drain the squirrel meat. Mix the flour, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and a few pinches of salt and black pepper in a bowl. Pour oil into a frying pan. Dredge the squirrel pieces in the flour mixture. Turn the squirrel pieces over to fry on the other side. Set the squirrel pieces on paper towels and allow them to drain.

Take the idiyappam out of the idli mold and place them on a plate. Serve while hot alongside your favorite curry or side dishes. Many enjoy pouring the curry or sauces over the idiyappam to enjoy the two dishes together!

TL;DR in English: Remove the idiyappam from the steamer. Serve while hot.

Passing a truck means you will have to go through a blind spot, however briefly. Show the driver you intend to pass as early as you can so they have enough time to see you and prepare for you to pass. Pass as promptly as possible and don’t linger in any of the truck's blind spots longer than necessary. This area is where you are in the most danger if a truck driver loses control, tries to change lanes, or gets into an accident. Avoid passing on a truck’s right side. This is a truck’s worst blind spot because it extends further back and makes it even more difficult for a truck driver to see you coming up beside them. You should be at least two car lengths ahead of the truck before merging back into the same lane. This ensures that you stay out of the truck's front blind spot and helps you avoid cutting the truck off. After merging back into your lane in front of a truck, maintain passing speed and only slow down when you have a safe distance between you and the truck.

TL;DR in English:


Collect your materials. Put your napkin on a level surface. Fold each corner to the center. Fold each corner to the center again. Place a glass on the center of the napkin. Reach underneath one corner. Repeat with each corner. Remove the glass.

. To feel emotions along with someone else, you've got to be able to feel them in yourself. Are you tuned in to your feelings? Do you notice when you're feeling happy, sad, angry or afraid? Do you let these feelings rise to the surface, and do you express them? If you tend to tamp down your emotions instead of allowing them to be part of your life, work on letting yourself feel a bit more deeply.  It's pretty common to push aside negative feelings. For example, it's more fun to distract yourself with TV or go to the bar than it is to sit down and think about something upsetting that happened. But pushing feelings aside creates a disconnect, a lack of familiarity. When you can't express your own sadness, how can you expect to feel someone else's? Take time every day to let your emotions surface. Instead of hurriedly blocking out negative feelings, think them through. Be angry and afraid, and deal with the feelings in a healthy way, like by  crying, or writing your thoughts down, or discussing how you feel with a friend. . Hear what the person is saying, and notice the inflection in their voice. Observe all the little clues that belie a way that someone is feeling. Maybe her lip is trembling and her eyes are glistening. Maybe it's more subtle - she's looking down a lot, or she seems vacant. Put yourself aside and absorb the person's story.  Set aside judgement while you listen. If you find yourself remembering a disagreement you had, or feeling critical about the person's choices, or feeling anything that takes you out of the moment, struggle to reorient yourself into listening mode. Have you ever read a moving story that was so engaging, you forgot yourself? For a few minutes there, you became that character, and you knew exactly how it would feel to see your father for the first time in 10 years or lose your love to someone else. Feeling empathy in a person isn't so different. When you're listening to someone and really trying to understand, a moment will come when you start feeling what the other person is...

TL;DR in English: Get in touch with your own emotions  Listen carefully Pretend that you're the other person. Don't be afraid to feel uncomfortable. Show the other person you feel for them. Use your empathy to help other people.

Pour 34 ounces (1 liter) of filtered tap water into a large bowl or container that you can easily stir a spoon in. The water should be run through a water filter pitcher or another filtering system to remove any heavy metals, chemicals, or other contaminants. Add ⅛ teaspoon (.6 g) of epsom salts to the water, and mix well to ensure that it’s fully incorporated. Epsom salts adds sodium to the water, which is a common ingredient in commercially made mineral water. Epsom salts are also known as magnesium sulfate. They are often used for medicinal purposes, such as soaking sore muscles, so you can find them at most grocery and drug stores. Add ⅛ teaspoon (.6 g) calcium chloride, and stir well to fully blend it in. Calcium chloride adds calcium to the water, which can help strengthen the bones. Calcium chloride is often used as a preservative for canned foods. You can usually purchase it from stores or online retailers that sell canning and food preservation supplies. Some natural mineral waters are carbonated. You can get the same effect by transferring your mineral water to a seltzer bottle that’s equipped with a carbon dioxide cartridge. However, you can also enjoy the mineral water flat. Pour it into any airtight container and enjoy.

TL;DR in English: Add the filtered water to a container. Stir in the epsom salts. Mix in the calcium chloride. Use a seltzer bottle to carbonate the water or enjoy as is.

To do well on a multiple choice exam, you should make a point of studying ahead of your exam date. Make a study schedule for the exam and set aside the necessary time for studying. Study in the week leading up to the exam or several days beforehand. Cramming for the exam will cause you a lot of stress and anxiety. You may not retain information well if you cram the night before the exam, leading to a poor grade. If you have struggled with multiple choice exams in the past, you may ask the instructor if they can provide practice tests for the course. You can also ask them for examples of questions from old exams.  Use the old exams and example questions to prepare for the test. Study the structure of the questions as well as the provided answers. Take several practice tests to get better at multiple choice style exams. If the instructor will not give you past exams, join a study group so you can study with others. You can also get a study tutor to help you study for the exam. Make sure you get at least eight hours of sleep the night before the exam. This will ensure you are sharp and ready on test day. You should also have a good meal the night before the exam, and in the morning before the exam. Make sure you have a good breakfast high in protein, vitamins, and nutrients, like eggs, toast, and fruit, or yogurt and granola. This can cause to fail, distract you from the test you are studying.

TL;DR in English: Study in advance for the exam. Ask the instructor for examples of past exams. Get enough sleep and eat healthy. Study with trusted friends, and keep out of distractions, such as parties.

In order to make a rose fold, you will need a square napkin, a level surface to work on, and a glass with a round bottom. There are multiple variations of the rose fold that vary in complexity. This is a basic rose fold that can be used for decorative purposes. The rose fold also looks great with paper napkins to display with cocktails. Be sure to smooth out any visible wrinkles and orient the napkin as a square. Take each corner, one at a time, and fold it to the center of the square. Each corner will now become a smaller triangle with a point in the middle.  Repeat until all four corners are folded. Your napkin should now be oriented like a diamond. Turn the napkin over. Make sure the folds remain intact while you flip the napkin. Now, you will repeat the same folding process with each corner. As you fold each corner towards the center, you will see two small triangles appear. The glass needs to be large enough to cover each of the four tips. The glass will keep the corners in place as you move to the next steps of the process. Press down on the glass to hold it in place with your non-dominant hand. Pull the fold out gently until the tip is approximately 1/4 inch further out than the top corner..  By pulling the tips of the fold out, you’ll create the petal shapes of the rose. Made sure you are still holding onto the glass with your non-dominant hand so the rest of the corners stay secure. Repeat the process of pulling the tip out with each of the remaining corners.. Remember to maintain the pressure on the glass so the rest of the napkin doesn’t unfold. Once each corner has been pulled out to make the petal shape, you can remove the glass. Now that the rose fold is finished, you can place it on a dinner plate to display. You can use this fold to display smaller bowls or plates that are placed on top of the inner corners.

Being single is associated with a decreased risk of adverse health effects from dysfunctional marriages or intimate relationships. Some studies have shown that bad relationships can actually make you physically unhealthy. But singles are more likely to be fit and healthy. Singles also tend to go to the gym more, eat better, and have lower stress levels.  Single people tend to be thinner than people who are in a relationship. One study found that people gain an average of 14 or more pounds after starting a relationship.  Single people also get more, good quality sleep than people who share a bed with a partner.  Single women have better mental health than married women, especially married women who have children.

TL;DR in English: Consider the health benefits of being single.

Excel can work with multiple worksheets within a single workbook, or with multiple workbooks, but you'll find comparing the lists easier if you copy their information onto a single worksheet. If your two lists don't share a common way to identify them, you may need to add an additional column to each data list that identifies that item to Excel so that it can see if an item in a given list is related to an item in the other list. The nature of this identifier will depend on the kind of data you are trying to match. You will need an identifier for each column list.  For financial data associated with a given period, such as with tax records, this could be the description of an asset, the date the asset was acquired, or both. In some cases, an entry may be identified with a code number; however, if the same system is not used for both lists, this identifier may create matches where there are none or ignore matches that should be made. In some cases, you can take items from one list and combine them with items from another list to create an identifier, such as a physical asset description and the year it was purchased. To create such an identifier, you concatenate (add, combine) data from two or more cells using the ampersand (&). To combine an item description in cell F3 with a date in cell G3, separated by a space, you'd enter the formula '=F3&" "&G3' in another cell in that row, such as E3. If you wanted to include only the year in the identifier (because one list uses full dates and the other uses only years), you'd include the YEAR function by entering '=F3&" "&YEAR(G3)' in cell E3 instead. (Do not include the single quotes; they are there only to indicate the example.) Once you've created the formula, you can copy it into all other cells of the identifier column by selecting the cell with the formula and dragging the fill handle over the other cells of the column where you want to copy the formula. When you release your mouse button, each cell you dragged over will be populated with the formula, with the...

TL;DR in English: Copy the data lists onto a single worksheet. Give each list item a unique identifier. Standardize data where possible. Create columns for the comparison formula. Enter the comparison formula in each cell. Sort the lists to see non-matching values more easily, if necessary. Compare the non-matching items visually to see why they don't match.

You’ll need a pattern and supplies in order to make this bag. Thankfully, the supplies are minimal and the pattern is very simple. Having everything you need before you start will make the process more smooth and efficient.  Make a pattern, if you want to. The main portion of the bag will be formed from one single piece of tape-fabric (pieces of duct tape, layered to create a single surface). The shape will overall resemble one large rectangle with two smaller rectangles attached at it’s side. You will, of course, need duct tape to make the bag from. You can find duct tape in a variety of locations and it is available in a wide range of colors and patterns. You will need fixtures for the bag. Four fixtures (two large, two small) will be needed to attach straps to the bag and you will need one buckle to close it with, as well as reinforcing rings for the buckle holes. All of these can be purchased from craft stores or salvaged from second-hand purses or messenger bags. Importantly, you will need a surface on which to build your bag and straight pins to keep the tape in place while you work. A large sheet of cardboard will be the cheapest and simplest solution. Finally, you will need a standard ruler (wood or metal), a measuring tape and cutting tools. The ruler will be sacrificed to reinforce the handle of the bag, so be sure it is one you will not need to use later. With the sticky side facing up, lay out seven 36” strips, parallel, absolutely straight, and overlapping (but as little as possible). Pin the ends taught as you lay each strip. With sticky side still facing up, lay six more 35” strips over the first layer with a 1” offset. Do not worry about pinning these. Be careful to lay them straight and go slowly, since it is difficult to get the tape back up if you make a mistake. Cut 6 strips to 11.25” and place them using the same method as the previous layers. Place them perpendicular and covering the previous layers, at the “top”end. Cut four more 11.25” strips and place two on each side, parallel with...

Most cats don't like the feel of large pieces of mulch, so they will avoid the areas with it. In addition, part of the attraction of a garden is the fresh dirt, which most cats view as a litter box. By covering up the fresh dirt, you make that area less inviting. You can lay this wire across the paths that lead to your garden. Cats do not like the openings in the wire on their paws and will usually stay away. You can also lay the wire across your beds and cover it with mulch. Use wire cutters to create holes for your plants, and bend the ends of the wire down, pressing them into the ground. This wire deters cats from using the dirt as a litter box and from clawing at the dirt. Criss-cross branches across your plant beds. Cats won't like walking on the branches, and you can place plants in the openings. An alternative to branches is lattice work. Plants can grow up through the holes of the lattice, and cats won't like walking on it. Though these mats sound malicious, they are not harmful to the cats. They have small plastic spikes on the mats that cats don't like walking on. You cut the mat into pieces and then set them along your beds. These types of repellants, which you can find at local gardening and hardware stores, come in granules or sprays. Cats do not like the smell, so it will keep them out of the area.  Granules are better if you need to cover a large area. If you want to keep cats away from a certain plant, the spray is easier. You will need to renew this when you see cats coming back in your yard.  Lion dung is an effective repellant that you can buy online. The cat is scared off because it thinks a bigger predator is around. Most cats do not like the smell of citrus. One easy method is to scatter citrus peels around the yard, though you will need to replenish them frequently. Instead of peels, you can use sprays that have citrus scents. You can also dissolve citrus essential oils and spray it around your garden. Simply dissolve 10-15 drops of oil in a cup of water, and place it in a spray bottle....

TL;DR in English: Mulch the garden. Try concrete-reinforcing wire or chicken wire with 1-inch openings. Use sticks or branches. Place spike mats in the garden. Use an odor repellant. Use citrus. Try other strong scents. Spread crushed pepper. Plant rue. Use motion detectors.

Simply put, the more cold starts you put your car through on a daily basis, the harder it is on the engine. If you want to extend the life of your car as much as possible, only use your car when absolutely necessary and avoid lots of stops and starts.  Avoid short trips that you might consolidate into longer ones. Instead of running to one store in the morning when you need dog food and heading to the grocery store later in the day when you need to get stuff for dinner, consolidate both trips and plan out your driving more effectively. If you're going to be driving less for an extended period of time, consider wintering your car somewhere safe and getting around some other way. Putting strain on the transmission by going from a dead start to fast-as-possible is a good way to ruin your engine in the long run. Slow down. Even if you're in a hurry, learn to accelerate smoothly and gently, working up to your intended speed. Even if you're driving an automatic transmission, pretend you're shifting gears at a relaxed pace to learn to accelerate properly. Manual transmissions can be shifted to a lower gear and, thereby, use the engine to slow the car, while drivers of cars with automatic transmissions need to be more careful about decelerating strongly at the last moment. Going straight from accelerating to braking puts a lot of wear on your brake pads, regardless of the kind of transmission you have, so it's important to anticipate your stops and coast into them. Never accelerate toward red lights. Take your foot off the gas and maintain your speed in preparation for a stop. Changing out the clutch is one of the most difficult jobs, and one of the most expensive things to pay for. Hard shifts in which you accidentally grind the gears, or revving the RPMs too much will put strain on the transmission, which can be costly to repair or replace. Practice shifting smoothly, especially in the low gears. Use the octane specified in your owner's manual and usually written on the inside of the fuel door. Avoid fueling at gas...

TL;DR in English: Drive less. Accelerate slowly. Go easy on your brakes. Shift smoothly in a manual transmission vehicle. Use the best gas for your car. Always fix problems as they arise.

In a small bowl, combine equal amounts of baking soda and water. Stir the ingredients together until they form a paste that is easy to apply to the grout. Pick up the paste with your brush and spread it over the grout. You can apply it with the same brush you’ll use to scrub the grout later. Grout brushes and other stiff-bristled scrub brushes can be found at home improvement stores. If you don’t have a scrub brush, a sponge with a scouring side or an old toothbrush also work well. Make sure the water is warm before you add it to the spray bottle or a bowl. Combine the water with an equal amount of vinegar. Place the mixture in a spray bottle to make applying it easier. Spray vinegar directly upon the baking soda. A single spray will be enough to cause the baking soda to begin to fizz. You'll see the vinegar reacting with the baking soda, causing a fizz. During these five minutes, the fizz will loosen the grime on the grout. Use a grout brush to work the baking soda further into the grout. Alternatively, scrub with a stiff-bristled brush, scouring sponge, or toothbrush. Scrubbing takes some muscle power, but the effort removes most of the grime. Look out for dark areas indicating where grime remains on the grout. Try scrubbing these areas again or clean them with hydrogen peroxide. After scrubbing, you’ll be left with dirty vinegar and baking soda. Apply paper towels to pick up the mess or use old rags if you wish to save on paper. A sponge can also help you loosen any bits of grime and cleaner on the grout. Optionally, you can give your floor a shine. First, sweep or vacuum up any baking soda still left on the floor. Afterwards, mop the floor as you normally would. Grout you cannot reach by mop can be wiped clean by a rag dampened in clean water.

TL;DR in English:

Trim off the burnt edges from the cake using a bread knife by using a fast but gentle cutting action. Ensure you also slice off the burnt bottom and sides to remove the burnt areas. Shaving off the burnt edges will prevent the cake from having an unpleasant taste and will help make it more enjoyable to eat. This method can also be useful if your cake has gotten minor brown burns while baking.   While the cake may end up looking smaller and the serving amount will decrease, the burnt edges will be gone and the cake can be happily devoured. If the top is burnt, level it to remove the burnt part. Sometimes when over-baking a cake it won't burn or blacken, but instead, taste dry and crumbly. You can fix that by spreading the cake with butter with a large butter knife while the cake is still warm. The butter will melt into the cake and allow it to moisten and not taste as dry. If you shaved off the burnt edges from the cake and notice the cake is too small, fix the cake and save it by making it into a trifle instead. Cut off the burnt edges of the cake if you haven't already and crumble it up into a bowl. In a tall glass, make a variety of layers such as one layer of chocolate pudding, another layer of the cake, one layer for walnuts, etc. Others won't notice the burnt cake and you'll end up with a new tasty dessert to enjoy.  You can also add freshly chopped fruit into your trifle for a sweeter flavor that can hide the taste of the burnt, dry cake. While you and others enjoy the cake; serve the cake with a glass of milk, a mug of hot chocolate, some tea, or coffee. This prevents the burnt flavor the cake to show and will usually hide the dry, crumbly flavor of a burnt cake. One way to fix a burnt cake is to freeze it in a freezer. Snip off the burn edges from the cake, frost it, and then freeze it until the frosting is solid. Allow it to thaw and then re-frost it again with more frosting. The dry, burnt taste will be gone and you won't even notice it.  It will usually take about 5 hours till overnight until a...

TL;DR in English: Remove the burnt edges from the cake. Add butter if the cake is dry. Consider making a trifle out of the cake. Enjoy the cake with a beverage. Freeze the cake and re-frost if. Make cake pops. Cut the cake into mini-sized cubes.

Many people find it easier to lie by text or email, or over the phone, since they can avoid many of the problems with body language and other indicators of lying. If you suspect that someone is lying, try to meet them face-to-face. You’ll increase your chances of catching them if you can observe and interact with them directly. If they repeatedly refuse to meet in person, you’ll have even more reason to be suspicious. Unless you have overwhelming evidence right from the start, don’t make someone prove they’re telling you the truth. Especially if it’s someone you care about, give them the benefit of the doubt — but also don’t feel bad about looking for proof to the contrary. Instead of automatically assuming the worst, try to trust them until the evidence of a lie can’t be ignored.  Keep in mind that if someone is breaking bad or uncomfortable news, they may look like they are lying. Likewise, if they are under stress, their behaviors may be a little odd. For example, if someone tells you that they were in a car accident earlier that day while laughing, do not assume that they are lying.  The laughter may be an uncontrollable response to trauma. When someone is lying, their emotions may not match their words or actions. A child might say they’re sad about breaking the vase while holding back laughter, for example, and even adults can have trouble hiding their true emotions. Engage them in conversation to see if their emotions fit the circumstances. For instance, if they keep saying their new job is great but you suspect otherwise, keep asking about elements of the job and see if their happy words are betrayed by feelings of fear, sadness, or boredom. While talking about the thing they’re possibly lying about, give the person a way out by unexpectedly switching topics. If they are lying, they’ll probably be glad to change subjects. If they are not lying, they may act confused by the sudden change in conversation. A person telling the truth may also try to circle back and finish clarifying. For instance, jump...

TL;DR in English: Talk to the person face-to-face. Try to trust the person. Connect with them emotionally. Change the subject. Ask a question that is unexpected. Insist on an answer to your question. Trust your instincts — to a degree.

Only light one side of the grill, whether it's a gas or charcoal grill. Lightly oil the grate with cooking spray.  If using a gas grill, light one side of the grill and close the lid. Let it reach 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). If using a charcoal grill, pile the coals to one side of the grill in a large heap. Light the coals, then let the flame die down until white ash forms on the surface of the coals. Close the lid to keep heated. Combine the chili powder, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub the seasonings evenly over all sides of the roast. Blending the spices in a small dish will help you apply the seasoning evenly to the roast. Transfer the seasoned roast to the unlit portion of the grill. Cover the grill and cook for 1 hour.  Stick a meat thermometer into the center of the sirloin tip roast to test its internal temperature. At this stage, it should be 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius). Monitor the temperature of the grill as the meat cooks to make sure it stays relatively consistent. Use a basting brush to evenly apply 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the barbecue sauce over all sides of the roast. Grill for additional 10 minutes. At this stage, the meat should be 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius) inside. Remove the meat from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board. Allow it to stand for 10 minutes.  Create a tent out of aluminum foil and place it over the roast as it stands. When done, it should have the internal temperature of medium doneness, 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius). Cut the roast across the grain, forming thin slices. Place these slices in a large and top with the remaining barbecue sauce. Toss with tongs to coat the meat, and serve.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the grill for indirect grilling. Season the roast. Place the meat on the grill. Brush with barbecue sauce and continue grilling. Let stand. Slice, add remaining sauce, and serve.

Although many supplements are most likely harmless, you can never be too sure.  Supplements may interact with medications or health conditions you have.  Speaking to your doctor before taking any type of supplement is a wise decision.  Be sure to review:  Why you want to take cod liver oil and how you think it may help or improve your health. All of your other medications and any other supplements you are taking.  Some medications, like blood thinners or medications for high blood pressure, are enhanced by fish oil supplements.  Possible contraindications or instances where cod liver oil will be unsafe. Pregnant women or women who are nursing and those with certain bleeding conditions are typically not advised to take fish oil supplements, including cod liver oil. Speaking to a nutrition expert like a dietitian can help you to evaluate your diet and determine whether supplements are even necessary. Some people are able to get sufficient Vitamins A and D and healthy fatty acids from their diets. Ask for advice on what foods to add to your diet or how to incorporate cod liver oil into your diet. Most supplements are sold in a variety of dosages.  It's important to find a supplement and dosage that's appropriate for you.  In general, for lowering high blood pressure or triglycerides, consume 20 mL daily and to manage and lower high cholesterol, consume 30 mL daily.  It's best to start with a low dosage and slowly increase to make sure you do not have any adverse side effects. If you're using the liquid version of this supplement, you'll need to find some creative ways to sneak it into your diet.  Cod liver oil isn't the most pleasant tasting or smelling supplement.  If opting to buy the liquid form, there are a variety of tips and tricks to get the dosage down.  You can pinch your nose and take it like a shot of cough syrup, mix it in a smoothie or other favorite beverages, drizzle it over salads, or mix with a teaspoon of honey. Some cod liver oil supplements add a little flavoring like ginger or lemon to...

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor. Schedule an appointment with a dietitian. Choose an appropriate dosage. Add cod liver oil to meals and snacks.

Many viral STIs, including genital herpes, can produce little red bumps, blisters, warts, or even open lesions on or around your genitals. These warts or bumps are typically accompanied by a painful itching or burning sensation.  If you’ve recently had oral or anal intercourse and are concerned about an oral or anal STI, also inspect your lips and mouth, and your buttocks and anal area for warts or bumps. Herpes can stay dormant in your body for prolonged periods of time. Subsequent herpes outbreaks tend to be less painful than the initial outbreak. Infected individuals can have frequent outbreaks for decades. Although oral herpes can be contracted on the genitals (or in the genital region), it’s typically dormant after the initial outbreak. Fleshy, raised patches of skin or warts in the genital or oral areas can be a sign of genital warts or Human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a serious STI, but can be difficult to detect. Certain strains are accompanied by gray swellings on the genitals, which can clump together and take on a cauliflower-like appearance.  Genital warts, while not a particularly serious STI, are uncomfortable and often itchy. Certain strains of HPV can increase a woman’s risk of developing cervical cancer. If you’re concerned about HPV, speak with your doctor or gynecologist about frequent screenings or gynecological visits to monitor the virus. Although these are general, nonspecific symptoms, they can all be signs of two serious viral STIs: strains of hepatitis, or early HIV. Early HIV can also cause your lymph nodes to swell, and can produce a rash. Individuals infected with hepatitis (which damages your liver) often also experience lower abdominal pain and dark urine. Strains of hepatitis and HIV can be transmitted without sexual contact. Either disease can be transmitted by contact with infected blood (or other bodily fluids), or by sharing intravenous needles.

TL;DR in English: Inspect your genital region for small warts or sores. Look for fleshy bumps or blisters. Pay attention to persistent fever, fatigue, and nausea.

The methods included here are fairly standard and should generally work with most washers. Even so, break out your owner’s manual and read over the appropriate sections, just in case any directions or advice are particular to that manufacturer and/or model. Check its table of contents or index for subjects like:  Drainage issues and troubleshooting Disconnecting and reconnecting drain hoses and/or filters Draining your washer shouldn’t be an out-of-control project with water flying everywhere, but play it safe anyway. If your washer is plugged into a power outlet, unplug it. If it’s hardwired into your electrical system instead, switch off the appropriate circuit breaker. Eliminate the risk of electrocution just in case you experience any unforeseen mishaps. Do the same with any other electrical devices in the immediate area. Again, this project shouldn’t create a huge mess, but be prepared for at least a little water to possibly go wild. Before you begin, set yourself up with some towels to keep on hand. Make clean-up a cinch by having them within easy reach in case you spill any water on the floor or elsewhere.  Draining a front-loading machine is more likely to be messy than a top-loading machine, so if that’s what you have, expect more spills. In addition to towels, you could also lay out a tarp, dropcloth, or similar material on the floor around your washer. This may seem like a no-brainer, but make life easier by knowing exactly how you’ll dispose of the water before you start. If your laundry room has a drain in the floor, use that. If your washer is in a bathroom and has a drainage hose that will reach, use your bathtub or shower stall. Otherwise, have a bucket or dish ready to transport the water to a sink or tub elsewhere in your home.  Be aware that used water from your washer is usually considered “gray water.” Your local, state, or even federal government may have laws regarding the proper disposal of gray water. This means that you may not be allowed to simply toss it outside so it can soak into...

TL;DR in English:


Determine if you need a prescription. Go to your local pharmacy as soon as possible. Follow the instructions. Avoid taking the morning after pill if your BMI is over 25.

If you find that you cannot overcome your sadness on your own, talk with a mental health professional. A trained therapist or psychologist can work with you to learn new ways of thinking and coping. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an approach that has been shown to give people to the tools to handle depression.  This practice focuses on using techniques to help people focus on the present, rather than getting carried away with negative thoughts. It can be used in conjunction with medication as well. In some cases, people suffering from sadness or depression begin to feel better by taking medication. Antidepressants can help alleviate chronic feelings of sadness or depression.  Your doctor may prescribe a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, citalopram, and escitalopram. SSRIs generally cause fewer side effects than other antidepressant drugs.  Your doctor may prescribe serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) such as duloxetine, venlafaxine , desvenlafaxine, and levomilnacipran.  Norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs), such as bupropion, are not generally associated with the sexual side effects of other anti-depressants.  Tricyclic antidepressants are generally prescribed when other anti-depressants haven’t worked. These drugs-- including imipramine, nortriptyline, amitriptyline, doxepin, trimipramine, desipramine, and protriptyline—can have significant side effects.  Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are a last resort antidepressant. MAOIs, such tranylcypromine, phenelzine, and isocarboxazid, are also generally prescribed when nothing else works. Be aware these drugs can have serious side effects. You and your care providers may want to consider other treatment options if medications and lifestyle remedies are not working. From hospital stays to transcranial magnetic stimulation, these alternative treatment options may help you stop feeling sad.  If you are not able to properly care for yourself, you and your doctor may want...

TL;DR in English: Consult a therapist or psychologist. Talk with a psychiatrist about antidepressant medications. Consider alternative treatments.

Netting that is too small for starlings to penetrate will prevent them from entering your orchard while still allowing sunlight and less invasive birds through.  The practicality of this approach may vary depending on the size of the area that you wish to cover. Maintaining the netting is important—holes may allow the starlings to get through. The areas may need to be covered only for a limited time.  Once the starlings move on to a new area, they may not try to return, or you may be able to continue prevention with less extreme measures. Starlings prefer to nest in areas where the trees are dense and close together.  For a long-term solution to deter the birds, consider thinning the trees on your property. Sometimes thick or commercial grade material such as metal flashing or industrial vent/chimney covers may be necessary. Metal spikes along ledges and other areas that starlings have started to roost will help drive starlings away to other areas. Boards or other materials set at a 45 degree incline along ledges and other roost areas will deter starlings due to the uncomfortable angle.  You may be able to remove the boards once the starlings have moved on to new territory.

TL;DR in English: Cover orchards or nest areas with netting. Thin trees in densely forested areas. Block any openings bigger than 1” wide. Install deterrent spikes on roosting areas. Install angled boards over ledges.

Throw away anything you don't need (e.g. scrap paper).  Take away all the things that don't belong in a locker, like candy wrappers or banana peels! Decorate! If you are allowed, stick wallpaper cuttings or wrapping paper on the walls of your locker, put stickers and photographs on the door.

TL;DR in English: During recess or any free time, stay behind and organize your locker.

If there is any residue, you can wash it off with some rubbing alcohol or white vinegar. You could also measure down 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) from the base of the neck, make a mark, then use that mark as your cutting guide. Use a box cutter or craft blade to cut the bottle. Some plastic soda bottles have a molded line. If your bottle is one of those, you can use that line as a cutting guide. Otherwise, cut off 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) off of the bottom of your bottle. If you'd like, you can make the bottom smoother by pressing a hot iron against it for 15 to 20 seconds. Don't do this for the top hole, or the plastic bags may get caught. Use the highest setting on your iron. Your holder is almost complete, but you can make it look nicer (and less like a plastic bottle) by spray painting it or by covering it with scrapbooking paper. Attach the scrapbooking paper with double-sided tape. This is now the top of your plastic bag holder. Alternatively, you can also punch just one hole, thread a short piece of ribbon through it, then tie the ribbon into a loop. Pull the plastic bags out, one at a time, from the bottom hole. Refill the bag by stuffing more plastic bags through the top hole.

TL;DR in English: Clean a plastic, 2-liter soda bottle, then peel off the label. Cut off the top portion of the bottle so that you have a 2-inch (5.08-centimeter) wide opening. Cut the bottom off of the plastic bottle. Use a pair of scissors to trim away ragged edges on the top and bottom. Paint or decorate the bottle, if desired. Punch two holes on both sides of the cut bottom edge, and thread a ribbon through them. Use the plastic bag holder.

If they voluntarily give you excuses that are detailed and scripted, then they probably are. He or she has most likely projected your questions, based on their indiscretion, and preemptively created a story to cover it all up. Listen and note any details which are unnecessarily significant to their story (names, times, exact locations, etc.) and keep a mental list. When they finish telling their story do they shake their head, toss up their hands, or use similar gestures to mimic exhaustion, confusion, and disbelief about their 'crazy evening' or event? Body language is a great indication that he or she is 'acting'. Keep it a seemingly harmless detail that won't frighten or alert your partner that you are suspicious (specifics are not what you are looking for).  Now ask them an abstract question about the specific detail you picked. Innocently ask when this 'detail' or event happened, or some other simple question. If he or she is not being truthful they will give it away during this question. Did they awkwardly get silent or shift before giving you an answer? Did they stutter or become nervous with their words? Did they look like a deer in the headlights? If so, here's why: When someone is telling the truth they don't need to think about the answer for more than a second or two. The details are already there because it truly happened. But, if this person is lying, they will have to stop and mentally go through their story from the beginning. He or she will need to remember where in the story this question happened and that takes thought processing. Since the 'minor' detail you asked them to provide wasn't prominent when they made up their excuse, they most likely won't have a cut and dry answer. Keep watching closely. Can you see them thinking it through again? Are they becoming frustrated and starting to snip at your 'dumb questions' and/or ask, "What does it matter?" If so, this is a stalling technique they use while making up new details. It's also a handy distraction if they point their finger back at...

TL;DR in English: Listen to how your boyfriend or girlfriend explains his or her behavior. Notice the response. After a few moments of silence and once the story has finished, recall one of the details that stuck out to you. Pay attention to what happens now. Do it again with another detail oriented question. Expect to be questioned back. Wait patiently. Ask yourself, did you insinuate that they were hiding something?

There are a wide variety of different emergency contraceptive pills that contain levonorgestrel (the hormone that can prevent pregnancy) available at pharmacies and drug stores. Some are available over-the-counter to anyone, regardless of age or gender, but others require a prescription in some cases.  There are one-pill and two-pill options available, both of which are equally effective. The one-pill option is available to anyone without a prescription, while the two-pill option requires a prescription for patients under 17 and requires a photo ID. If you need a prescription, visit your doctor's office, a walk-in clinic, an urgent care center, or a women's health clinic as soon as possible to get one. Although it may be uncomfortable, consider talking to your parents and getting their help. If you do not need a prescription, simply visit your local pharmacy to purchase emergency contraception (also called "the morning after pill"). Go as soon as you can after unprotected sex. While the morning after pill can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex, it is more effective the sooner you take it.  Some stores keep the pills in locked boxes or behind the counter, so you may have to ask an employee for help. It's a good idea to call your local pharmacy to find out if they stock emergency contraceptives, as not all of them do. Depending on what brand of pill you buy and where you buy it, you should expect to spend between $35 and $50 at a drug store. If you cannot afford this, you may be able to get the same pill for cheaper at a health clinic like Planned Parenthood. Your insurance may cover this form of emergency contraceptives, but probably only if you have a prescription from your doctor. Over-the-counter pills are available under many different brand names, some of which are one-step pills and some of which are two-step pills. While they are all equally effective, it is important to read the instructions carefully to understand when you should take each pill.  If you use a one-step pill, you should take...
