Use the handle of a rattail comb to part your hair right in the middle, from your forehead all the way down to the nape of your neck. Harley Quinn does have messy hair, but you will do that at the end. Keep things neat for now. The pigtails need to sit right on top of your head, above your eyebrows and behind your ears. Use a comb or brush to smooth the hair down as much as possible. Leave a 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) strand of hair hanging loose on each side of your part. Hair chalk can be applied to wet or dry hair, but it will be brighter on light hair. If your hair is dark blond, brown, or even darker, the hair chalk won't show up very well if you apply it to dry hair. Mist your hair down with a spray bottle filled with water, then comb it through. You only need to dampen your hair about midway down. You will need to use bright blue for the left pigtail and light pink or red for the right pigtail. Start adding the colors about midway down. Work with 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) wide sections.  If you damped your hair earlier, let it dry before moving on to the next step. This step can get messy. Consider putting on an old shirt or draping a towel around your shoulders first. If you don't do this, the chalk will rub off. Be aware that some color may rub off onto the heat tool, however. If you are using a hair straightener, twist it while straightening your hair so that you get loose waves instead. If you are using a curling iron, try using a larger one instead to get looser curls. This will help set the chalk into your hair and prevent it from rubbing off. If you don't have a hair straightener or curling iron, you can mist it with hairspray. It won't work as well as a hair straightener or curling iron, but it will be better than nothing. Take a strand of hair from the underside of your first pigtail. Wrap it around the base of the pigtail to hide the elastic and weft. Secure the strand of hair with a bobby pin. Repeat this step for the other pigtail. The colored strands will give the illusion of a colored hair...

TL;DR in English: Brush your hair and part it down the center. Pull your hair up into high pigtails and secure them with hair ties. Dampen your hair if it is dark. Rub hair chalk into each pigtail. Seal the color in with a hair straighten or curling iron. Wrap strands of hair around the base of each pigtail. Backcomb the pigtails. Set the style with hairspray.

Yes, they exist, but often the main component is some form of acid which can cause the fumes to be toxic or semi-toxic. The rust removers can be purchased at any hardware supply store and some auto body shops.  Some optional brands include Evapo-rust, Metal Rescue Rust Remover Bath (safe on paint, plastics, and skin), Acid Magic, The Works (20% HCL, hydrochloric acid), The Works Basic (9.5% HCL, hydrochloric acid) and WD-40 (light weight oil). Use protective wear when handling commercial rust removers. Protective wear includes goggles, gloves, and a face mask or respirator. This is where the rubber really hits the road. You want to give the cleaners time and elbow grease to work their magic. You can do this in several different ways:  Some chemical solutions come already in a spray containers.  Spray lightly and accurately onto rust and let sit overnight for heavy rust. Other solutions need to be applied by using a brush.  Scrape off any rust that can be easily removed and evenly apply the solution.  Let sit overnight. Another method is total submersion.  If an item is small enough, find a plastic paint bucket or other container and place the rusted item in it.  Pour enough rust remover solution to completely submerge it and let it sit overnight. Try to get as much of the commercial rust remover off your item as possible. Hit the item with a blowdryer, if possible, so that the item is completely dry and rust is discouraged from returning. Most of the rust should have been loosened overnight and the remainder should come off easily. The amount of wait time necessary to remove the rust depends on the item in question, how badly it is rusted, and how well the store bought product works.  Sometimes the metal needs to be treated with the solution more than once, particularly if the rust is on a vertically standing object.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a chemical rust remover. Apply the solution. Rinse with water and dry. Scrape off any remaining rust. Repeat the process if necessary.

Take a small slice of onion and place it in a garlic press. Squeeze the press to extract juice from the onion. You'll need about 3/4 of a teaspoon (4 ml) of juice and pour the juice into a small saucepan. Measure 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (225 g) of granulated sugar, 1⁄2 cup and 1 tablespoon (255 ml) of cold water, 6 tablespoons (89 ml) of white vinegar, and 1 1⁄2 tablespoons (22 ml) of red wine vinegar into a small saucepan. You'll also need to add these seasonings:  1 tablespoon (8 g) arrowroot 1 tablespoon (5 g) minced onion flakes 2 1⁄2 teaspoons (13 g) Dijon mustard 2 1⁄2 teaspoons (5 g) mustard powder 3⁄4 teaspoon (3 g) celery salt 3⁄4 teaspoon (9 g) poppy seeds 1⁄2 teaspoon (2 g) onion salt 1⁄4 teaspoon (1 g) garlic salt 1⁄4 teaspoon (0.5 g) paprika 1⁄4 teaspoon (0.5 g) black pepper 1 to 2 drops sesame oil Set the saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to high. Whisk the sauce while it heats and bring it to a boil. Once the sauce comes to a boil, turn the heat to low. Keep whisking the sauce and let it simmer until it thickens. This should take about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the sweet onion sauce come to room temperature. Use the sauce immediately or store it until you're ready to use it. Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for a few weeks.

TL;DR in English: Squeeze the onion for juice. Measure all of the ingredients into a saucepan. Whisk and heat the sauce. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes. Cool and use the sauce.

Prepare your hoodie for washing by closing the zipper to protect your fabric from snagging. This also prevents damage to the zipper teeth. When washing by hand, you need something to hold enough water to wash your clothing. Great options include your sink, a bucket, or a large cooking pot. As you pour water into the wash container, pour in your soap. Gently stir the soapy water to mix it well.  Don’t add too much soap. While you want a clean hoodie, too much soap will be hard to rinse out. Plus, excess soap attracts dirt and bacteria, keeping it in the fabric.  Remember that laundry detergent is formulated for a full load, so don’t measure out a whole cup of laundry detergent. A teaspoon is recommended for small items. If you have a thicker hoodie, add a little extra. Place your hoodie into the water after you have mixed in the soap. Press it down with your hand until the entire hoodie is under the water. Let your hoodie sit in the container of soapy water for a few minutes so that it will absorb the detergent. Gently move your hoodie around the wash container. Be careful not to scrub the fabric because you may damage it. Lift your hoodie from the wash container and gently squeeze out some of the excess water. Avoid twisting your hoodie because that can damage it. Using a colander will help you rinse the soap from your hoodie without risking damage to the fabric.  A colander is a bowl that has holes so that you can drain water. If you don’t have a colander, check if your pots came with a basket to steam veggies. If you lack kitchen supplies, you could try a large funnel. While your hoodie is still in the colander, run cold water over it to rinse out the detergent.  If you can’t find anything to rinse your hoodie in, just fill the wash container with clean water and rinse it that way. Check to make sure that you’ve washed out all of the detergent by smelling the fabric. If you catch a strong whiff of soap, rinse your hoodie again. Gently squeeze your hoodie to remove the excess water. Don’t twist it because...

TL;DR in English: Zip up your zipper. Find a large container. Add mild detergent to your water. Submerge your hoodie. Soak your hoodie. Use your hands to agitate it. Remove your hoodie from the soapy water. Put your hoodie into a colander. Rinse your hoodie. Squeeze out the water. Lay your hoodie out to dry.

After bathing your dog, brush the vinegar through the dog's coat. It will improve the shine of your dog’s coat and will act as a deodorant. Do not use if your dog’s skin is dry, broken, or otherwise irritated. Treating your dog's skin this way will help prevent dry skin and itchiness. The antibacterial properties of apple cider vinegar make it an option to clean out a dog's ears. It will help to prevent infection and ward off parasites that are susceptible to the acid in ACV. Soak a small cotton ball or piece of clean cloth in the vinegar and gently wipe your dog's ears as carefully as you can. Be aware that ACV's astringent properties may sting your dog's ears or cause the delicate skin of the ear canal to dry out. If your dog spends a lot of time romping around during the summer, using ACV may keep fleas away. Mix two cups of water and two cups of ACV in a clean spray bottle. Once a week, spray your dog's fur with the mixture. Although not scientifically proven to get rid of flea, the acidic taste of the vinegar may repel fleas and other parasites. If your dog dislikes being sprayed, dip a washcloth into the mixture and rub your dog's coat. There is no need to rinse your dog afterward. The smell will dissipate after the ACV dries. If your dog has a case of fleas, you can drown them by using a mixture of soapy water and ACV. The soapy water washes the fleas away and the ACV is anecdotally reported to keep them from coming back. Make a mixture of 1/4 cup dish soap, 1/2 gallon water and 1/2 gallon ACV.  Put on long sleeves and gloves. Before you start treating your dog, it's important to protect your own skin from flea bites. Work outside if you're dealing with live fleas and ticks. Bathe your dog in the solution. Avoid getting the solution in its eyes. Cover every part of its fur and use your fingers to work the solution all the way to the skin. You want to work up a good lather to help kill the fleas. Let the solution sit on your dog for ten minutes. If it's a particularly bad infestation, have a second...

A sound time-management strategy during tests is to answer the easy questions first.  The idea is that you will quickly work through these questions, probably quicker than you had budgeted for, allowing you extra time to work on the more difficult sections. The issue with this strategy, versus working through every section as budgeted, is that you might skip a question thinking that it’s more difficult than it is.  You also run the risk of not returning to questions that you’ve skipped. After you’ve answered the easy questions, focus your time on the questions that are worth the most points.  It makes more sense to spend 10 minutes on 1 question worth 20 points than to spend 10 minutes on 10 questions worth only 1 point each.  In other words, 20 points for one question is worth more time than 10 points for 10 questions. Your exam should clearly state the value or percentage of each question or section.  If you’re unsure, ask your proctor. Make sure that you wear a watch so that you can stick to your time budget.  You won’t be able to bring a cell phone in the test with you, and there may not be a clock on the wall, so you’ll need to remember your own time piece. You’ve studied, you’ve practiced, you’ve read through the test, you’ve budgeted your time, and there  is no reason to rush yourself.  You might be feeling a little anxious or want to hurry up and get the test over with, but time management is about pacing yourself.  So, pace yourself.  Don’t rush, as you’ll run the risk of making a critical mistake, and stick to your game plan. After you complete a section, give yourself a few seconds to pause and breathe before you move on.  This helps you pace yourself, allows you to make sure that you’re managing your time effectively, and helps you mentally move from one task to another. No matter how prepared you are for this test and how well you’ve planned to manage your time, something can go wrong.  This isn’t the end of the world, though, and shouldn’t derail your schedule at all.  Plan for some problems,...

TL;DR in English: Answer the easy questions first. Focus on a question’s worth. Keep an eye on the clock. Don’t rush yourself. Take a breath or two. Prepare for the unexpected.

Before you attempt to wash your blanket, read the directions listed on the tag to find out the best way to do it. Most manufacturers include specific instructions for cleaning and maintaining their blankets that are meant to help keep them soft and snuggly for years to come.  The care instructions on a synthetic blanket may specify a maximum heat setting, for example, while blankets in vibrant colors or patterns might call for a particular type of detergent. If your blanket didn’t come with care instructions, try looking up tips on how to safely wash the fabric online. Just like putting your blanket in with the rest of your laundry can rob it of its soft finish, more aggressive wash cycles are often too much for delicate fabrics. During the gentle cycle, the machine’s agitator will slowly whisk your blanket back and forth, cleaning it without roughing it up. An added benefit of going with the gentle cycle is that it's shorter than the other cycles, which means you’ll be back bundled up under your favorite blanket in less time. Stick to a standard-strength liquid detergent free of additives like bleach, fabric softeners, or perfumes. You’ll only need to add a small amount—excess detergent doesn’t always get rinsed off and can coat the fibers of your blanket, making them feel sticky to the touch.  Most fleece blankets are designed to be stain-resistant, so a basic soap-and-water combo will usually be more than enough to get them nice and clean. Fabric softeners can actually damage fabrics that have been treated with water-repellent finishes, so it’s best to forego these products.

TL;DR in English: Follow the care instructions provided on the tag or label. Wash your blanket on the gentle cycle. Use a regular dishwashing detergent.

Weld a flat piece of 3/16-inch (0.5 cm) thick steel plate to the rear frame to mount your engine. Place the engine on the plate, and mark the holes for the mounting bolts so that the engine pulley lines up with the drive pulley on your axle. Attach the drive pulley on the axle prior to mounting the axle in the bushings. You can either use a set screw to hold it in position, or weld it directly to the axle, but it should be aligned with the pulley on your engine. Use the 0.5-inch (1.5 cm) steel rod for linkages, and the 0.75-inch (2 cm) for your axles. To make the 90-degree bends in the 0.75-inch (2 cm) rod, you may have to use a torch to heat the steel. Provide adjustable links for aligning steering, because it is very important to have the proper caster and camber: front-wheel vertical and steering tilt. Get some small racing wheels to give your kart the optimum acceleration and control. Fix them onto the axles with hubs and start working on the brakes, so the go-kart will be safe.  For the brakes, fix a disc onto the rear axle and a caliper assembly onto the chassis for the most professional system possible. Often, you can acquire these assemblies in relatively good shape from junked motorbikes. They're the appropriate size and will be easy to work with. Install a brake pedal to operate with your foot, regardless of what kind of acceleration you have. Don't leave too much to do with your hands other than steering. Depending upon your experience and the kind of engine you're working with, you may be able to put together a foot pedal, or you may just need to make it easy and throttle-up like you would a lawnmower. Even if you're going at relatively slow speeds, it's important to make sure you're not going to slip an axle on your first go-around. Double check your welds, your brakes, and the engine's mounting. Then take 'er for a spin!

TL;DR in English: Install the engine mount. Assemble your steering linkage. Install the wheels and brakes. Attach the throttle cable to the hand throttle. Double check your brakes and suspension system before test-driving.

Decide whether your DVD can be fixed, or whether it has irreparable damage.  As mentioned above, disks with scratches that go deep will not be able to be mended. To assess the damage, hold the disk up in the sunlight. If sunlight shines through the scratch, the DVD is unlikely to be mended. Scratches that are circular, around the laser track, are more likely to result in a permanently damaged disk. Small scratches that run across the radius are easier to fix. A cloth specialized for eyeglasses would also do.

TL;DR in English: Assess the damage. Find a jewelry cloth (also known as a jeweler's rouge, or a rouge cloth).

Start with an aluminum pie plate or a bowl with aluminum foil covering the inside. Add a tablespoon (15 milliliters) of salt to the plate. Next, add a tablespoon of either water softener powder OR baking soda.  While some people use this method on necklaces with precious or semi-precious stones, it could cause damage, so it's better not to risk it if it is valuable. Similarly, it's best not to try this method on antique or fragile silver. This process will remove all the tarnish, including decorative oxidized areas (black areas put in place to create a design). You can also add 1/2 a cup (118 milliliters) of white vinegar at this point. Keep in mind, vinegar will cause the baking soda to react, so watch for overflow. Next, pour in hot water. A cup (237 milliliters) or so will be enough. It should be close to boiling, but it doesn't need to be boiling. Stir the water, making sure the salt and baking soda are fully dissolved into it. Once the solution is ready, put the necklace in the solution. It should be touching the aluminum, so that the tarnish will move from the silver to the aluminum. Let it soak for a couple of minutes. You can do a bit more if the necklace is especially tarnished. Use tongs or a fork to take the necklace out. With a microfiber, polish any areas on the necklace that need a bit more work. Be gentle with more fragile areas. Dry the piece off, and put it away.

TL;DR in English: Set up the bath. Create the solution. Let the necklace soak in the solution. Remove the necklace.

You must leave the country in order to qualify for duty-free shopping, often for a minimum span of time. In the United States, for example, you must leave the country for at least 48 hours if you wish to take full advantage of U.S. duty-free stores. However, you may be able to purchase some quantities of duty-free goods if you're traveling for less than that time span. U.S. citizens may purchase a reduced quantity of duty-free goods if they've spent less than 48 hours in Canada, for example, and Canadian citizens may purchase a limited quantity of duty-free goods after any length of time in the United States.  U.S. citizens traveling to Canada for under 48 hours may bring back up to $200 (U.S. Dollars) worth of goods per person without paying taxes or duties. However, alcohol and tobacco may be subject to duties and taxes if it was purchased on a brief trip. U.S. citizens who spend more than 48 hours in Canada may bring back up to $800 in goods per person, and will not have to pay taxes or duties on up to one liter (33.8 fluid ounces) of alcohol, one carton of 200 cigarettes, and 100 cigars. You may purchase up to the legal amount of goods in the duty-free store, though that amount will vary depending on where you are traveling and how long you will be gone. Product limitations are generally applied to high-tax items like alcohol and tobacco, though an overall limit is usually in place at most international borders.  Most product-specific limitations restrict travelers to bringing back one liter (33.8 fluid ounces) of alcohol and one carton of cigarettes per person per trip. At the U.S./Canadian border, individuals may only bring up to $800 in goods per month. If you and one or more family members who reside at the same address travel together, you can collectively bring a total of $1,600 worth of goods per month per household. You may exceed the allowance of goods you're able to bring back duty free. However, you will have to pay taxes/duties on those goods that exceed your allowance. How you pay will depend...

Apply drywall compound to a putty knife and wipe it back and forth over the hole. Stop when the hole is completely filled with putty.  Using an “x” motion when you apply the putty will help get a smooth and even surface. If the hole is larger than 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm), cover it first with self-adhesive drywall mesh tape, which you can buy at a hardware store. Apply the compound over this tape. Once the hole is completely full, smooth out the putty. Wipe off excess putty until it is flush with the wall. Follow the direction on the package. Typically, you will need to let the putty to sit overnight. Use medium-grade sandpaper to lightly sand the hole, removing excess putty. Stop when the surface is smooth. Wipe up the dust after you finish. Use light, feathery strokes so that the paint blends in well with the rest of the wall. To mask the area where the anchor had been, apply wall paper of the same shade as the rest of the wall. Allow it to dry overnight.

Watch the ground ahead of you carefully. Try to avoid stepping on obvious sound “landmines” like twigs or fallen bark. Avoid dry grass and foliage which will crunch underfoot and make noise. Choose the clearest path to walk on – smooth, bare dirt is best. Mossy rocks also muffle the sound of your footsteps. Any time you are trying to be quiet, you should slow your pace and think about each step. Take three or four careful steps, then pause and regroup before continuing. If you rush through your steps, you will be far more likely to inadvertently make noise. Instead of spending your entire time in the forest seeing nothing but your feet, try looking ahead and planning where you want to take your next few steps. This way you can keep your head up, and see more of your surroundings. This method is sometimes called “fox walking.” Place the heel of your foot on the path ahead, then gently roll your foot down until the sole touches the ground. Avoid walking “flat-footed,” touching all surfaces of your foot to the ground at the same time – this will produce a much louder sound.  Soft-soled shoes or light boots will make the least amount of noise in the forest. Place your foot down on the outer edge first, then roll the rest of your sole down until it touches the ground. Slowly shift your weight onto your foot, listening for any crackling or crunching noises. If you hear anything, stop immediately and move your foot to a new position. Crouch low and bend your knees, then walk slowly and carefully with your body balanced low over your center of gravity. Walk slowly. Slow your pace and think about each step. Take three or four careful steps, then pause and regroup before continuing. Stand with your destination directly to the left of you. Take your right foot and swing it across the front of your left leg and quietly put it down. Then take your left leg and swing it to the left behind your right leg. You may be able to move quietly and quickly in this fashion. If you need to run in the forest, try to touch only the...

If your room is not clean it actually isn't too easy to sleep in. Since everyone feels satisfaction out of a clean room, don't you want to go to bed satisfied and relaxed? A comfortable bed can help you get to sleep faster. Invest in some good pillows, a good comforter, and comfortable sheets. If your mattress is old, then you might consider replacing it.  A good comforter is one that's comfortable for you. Everyone has different preferences. You may want to change your bedding with the seasons. For example, during winter, you may switch to cotton or jersey sheets, and add an extra blanket. You could also keep warm with a down blanket.  During summer, you might choose lighter weight options like cotton with a thread count between 250-500 or linen. Switch out the down comforter for a light-weight cotton alternative. If a dog, child, or partner is hogging the bed, make them move. You deserve your space. Light can trick your brain into staying awake. Turn off the lights and avoid using a nightlight. Block out light from outside with heavy blinds or curtains. If you use an alarm clock, turn it around so that it doesn't face you.  Don't sleep with the television on, as the flickering light will disrupt your sleep. If you get up during the night, keep the lights dim. Excessive noise can make it hard to go to sleep. Additionally, sudden or changing noises can wake you up. The best way to deal with noise is to use a white-noise machine, fan, or portable air purifier to create a consistent noise environment that is appropriate for sleeping.  You can invest in a white noise machine that offers different types of sounds that encourage sleep. However, a fan or a portable air purifier is often cheaper. You could also wear ear plugs. Keeping your bedroom cool helps you fall asleep more easily, as your body naturally cools down before sleep. How cool the room should be can vary depending on the individual, so choose a temperature that feels cool to you. Generally speaking, you'll be able to sleep best somewhere between 60...

Starting with a clean, soft beard will help you achieve clean beard lines. Use a mild shampoo, then follow up with a conditioner made specifically for beard hair. Rinse thoroughly and pat your face dry with a clean towel. Never trim a wet beard! Wet hair looks longer than dry hair, so if you start trimming while it’s still wet, it’s easy to trim off way too much. Let your beard air dry completely, or use a blow dryer on a low setting to dry the hair. If you have sensitive skin, skip the blow dryer. It can aggravate the skin beneath your beard. To properly line up and trim your beard, you need the right tools. A good wide-toothed comb and quality beard trimmer are essential. If you have a good pair of clippers, you can use those instead of a beard trimmer. For daily maintenance, you might want to pick up a pair of professional barber’s scissors, too. Using a wide-toothed comb, gently detangle your beard hair thoroughly. Comb the hair into its usual place. This gets everything organized before you start creating your beard lines and helps ensure clean, even results.

TL;DR in English: Shampoo and condition your beard. Allow your beard hair to dry fully before you trim it. Invest in a wide-toothed comb and beard trimmer. Comb through your beard.

The library is a great place to help students develop an interest in reading and learning. Allow them several trips to the library every week so that they can pick out their books, return old books, and just spend some time reading. Let students have class time to just sit and read their books. You can decide if they have to read books just from the library or if they can bring books from home to read during this time. But the most important thing is to get students interested in reading and to give them time to do it in class. This will show them that reading is an important skill and will help them to develop stronger reading abilities over time. Reading a book as a class can be a fun experience that everyone looks forward to each day. The students can discuss the book with each other since they are all reading the same book at the same time. This will also help improve their listening comprehension skills because they are practicing listening to something that is fun and doesn't feel like work to them, but will still build these listening skills so they can apply it to their schoolwork. Studies have shown that children learn to read and write by reading and writing. So it is essential to give them time to practice these crucial skills in class and encourage them to reinforce these skills with homework and reading assignments.

If the disease is diagnosed in its early stages, the common treatment is with antibiotics. He will prescribe your antibiotics, which you will take for one to two weeks. Some strains of the bacteria that cause typhoid fever have become very resistant to some antibiotics. This means that your doctor will do thorough laboratory tests to come up with the best treatment plan for the particular strain you have.  The type of antibiotic you are prescribed will vary depending on where you contracted the strain and if you have had it before. The most common antibiotics prescribed include Ciprofloxacin, Ampicillin, Amoxicillin or azithromycin. You may also be prescribed Cefotaxime or Ceftriaxone. These medications are typically prescribes for 10 to 14 days. While symptoms may clear up within a matter of days, it is of the utmost importance that you finish your antibiotic treatment. If you do not take your antibiotics for the prescribed amount of time, you run a serious risk of having the disease return or passing it to others. Once you have finished your antibiotics, see your doctor again for a follow-up test to make sure that you have gotten rid of the infection. In severe cases, you will need immediate hospital admission. The aggressive symptoms you should look for that point to a severe case of typhoid fever are a swollen stomach, severe diarrhea, a fever of 104 degrees or higher, or persistent vomiting. When in the hospital, you will likely be given the same or similar antibiotic treatment, but it will be administered in injectable form while you are in the hospital.  You should see a doctor immediately if you experience any of these intense symptoms. Fluids and nutrients will also be administered to you through an intravenous drip. Most people greatly improve 3-5 days after being admitted to the hospital. However, you may have to stay in the hospital for a few weeks to recover if your case of...

TL;DR in English: Take antibiotics. Take your medications for the prescribed length of time. Get treated in the hospital. Have surgery if necessary.

While your dough rests, you can prepare the filling for your momos.  You can make momos with either a meat, vegetable, or cheese filling.  Tofu can also be used.  Typical seasonings include garlic, onion, ginger, bouillon, soy sauce, cilantro, and Szechuan pepper.  Use ground meat for a meat filling.  In Tibet, Yak meat is most commonly used.  Other types of meat used to make momos vary by Tibetan region or community.  In some areas, pork or beef is common, while in others mutton is used.  Chicken is not a common option, but it is used by those who don’t eat beef. For veggie fillings, you can use a potato filling or an assortment of finely chopped vegetables. Cheese fillings usually consist of either a dry cheese blended with sugar, which is mainly made in Tibet; it can also be a soft cheese mixed with a vegetable, like cheese and spinach or cheese and mushroom. If making a vegetable filling, wash and peel your vegetables.  They will need to be finely chopped or grated.  You can either do this by hand or by using a food processor.  Keep the garlic, onions, and scallions separate from the rest of the vegetables, unless including meat in your filling.  A blender may work in place of a food processor; instead of blending the mixture into a smooth puree, pulse it.  This means allowing the mixture to blend a couple seconds at a time until fully chopped. If you’d like a meat filling, simply replace the mushrooms and tofu for your choice of ground or chopped meat. Place your chopped vegetables and/or ground meat in a large bowl and mix together well using your hands, if needed.  Season with two tablespoons of soy sauce and one teaspoon of bouillon. To ensure your meat mixture is perfectly seasoned, cook a small piece, and taste it.  Add more soy sauce and bouillon, if desired. Unlike the meat filling, the vegetable filling must be cooked before it's tucked inside each momo.  Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat.  Add your chopped garlic to the pan and sauté for 2-3 seconds.  Then add the chopped...

TL;DR in English: Decide on the ingredients for your filling. Assemble your ingredients. Season your mixture. Cook your vegetable filling. Set the filling aside until you’re ready to use it.

You first encounter Mac, a World Boss, during your newbie quest. He's the pirate who fell in love with the mayor's daughter, and halted his attack because of it. He spawns at the location behind the portal.  To get through, you need to walk from the fence. Be careful not to go inside the portal for it will take you to a different place. Mac is located at Helonia Coast on Tuesdays at (x:468,y:652). The most notable monster drops are the face accessories such as Trendy Sunnies and Glamorous Shades. Panther Banksy is found at Candeo March on Fridays at (x:675,y:628). He’s quite easy to kill, but since his spawn spot is right on top of a cliff rock, players in every channel gather up in that one place.  Even if you have other players hidden, the lag will still be notable. To avoid this, keep the graphic settings of your computer low and other apps closed. Panther Banksy drops Mouth which is why many players in Aura Kingdom hunt him down. Other dropped items are Quicksilver Tiger, Fire Brand Tiger, and Thunderbolt Tiger. Daphne can be found at Triatio Highlands at (x:466,y:308). This female ninja wields fire property and has over 20 million hit points. However, because of the great number of participants, Daphne is easily killed.  Only a few people wish to hunt for Daphne because of the small number of her dropped items. Daphne may drop Swallowtail Kunai and Ninja Kunai, an orange face accessory. Mordecai, also known as Hermit, is one of the more difficult bosses to take down for he possesses huge damage. He can hit more than 6.8k and holds over 20 million health points.  Mordecai, a neutral type of boss but with range attack, can be found at Crescent Hill at (x:523,y:797). He can drop face accessories, namely White Rose and Red Rose.

TL;DR in English: Kill Pirate Captain Mac. Kill Jungle Panther Banksy. Kill Daphne. Kill Mordecai.

Good posture helps you look and feel more confident. Pull your shoulders back, let your back be straight and tall, and be proud of who you are. Good posture can even up your testosterone, making you even more confident. You’ll feel more empowered, and you will act like it, too! Picture a moment when you were your best self: captivating, confident, and sexy. Take a few minutes to breathe deeply and envision this moment. Think about how future situations, such as a party you plan to attend or a job interview you will have soon, could also involve your best self. You’ll feel and be more confident. When you look at yourself in the morning, find a few things you like about yourself. Consciously think about those things. You will focus more on the good parts of yourself than the parts of your body you’re not as happy about. Society often criticizes big women for unfair reasons. They erroneously think that big women can’t be healthy, happy, or stylish. Understand that these comments are hurtful but not true. Find support from other plus-size women in your life to offset these negative comments with positivity and compliments. Too often, the media show us only models and celebrities who are thin. Remember that most models are airbrushed, and their photos are retouched before they’re printed in magazines or put on the Internet. Follow some plus-size fashionistas on Instagram to get more style inspiration and see beautiful, plus-size women feeling beautiful in their skin. Look at body positivity campaigns, such as Selfridges’ “Incredible Machines” campaign or Dove’s Self Esteem Project

TL;DR in English: Use good posture. Think about your best moments. Look in the mirror and find things you love. Don’t let negativity in. Limit your exposure to unrealistic portrayals of women in media.

Shake the can vigorously first, then open it and pour the contents into a blender; you can also use a food processor instead. Use a spoon or spatula to scrape out any leftover coconut cream and add it to the blender. Don't blend it just yet, and don't worry about being too precise. Mixing the cocoa powder into the coconut milk first will simply prevent the cocoa powder from flying out everywhere when you turn the blender on. Add in the honey, vanilla extract, and salt. If you are vegan, you can use agave nectar or maple syrup instead of honey. If the mixture is too sweet, add a pinch of salt. If it is not sweet enough, add a little bit more of your honey, avage nectar, or maple syrup. Be sure to blend after each addition. Follow the manufacturer's directions, as each ice cream maker will be a little different. If you don't have an ice cream maker, follow the steps below:  Chill the mixture in a bowl over an ice bath. This will keep ice crystals from forming. Pour the ice cream into a shallow, freezer-safe container, preferably metal. Place the ice cream into the freezer. Stir the ice cream with a whisk or spatula every 30 minutes until it is frozen, about 2 to 3 hours. Be sure to pull the ice cream away from the edges of the container and to break up any ice crystals. If the ice cream is too hard to scoop out, let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes. Store any leftovers in the freezer, and eat it within 1 to 2 weeks.

Drink cranberry juice or extract. Combine cranberry with lingonberry in your diet. Take bearberry powder. Take brewer's yeast. Take 1 teaspoon (about 2 g) of D-mannose twice per day. Drink teas and extracts that are proven to treat UTIs.

Most birds will need about a week to get used to their new space. Keep their environment quiet during this time, and ensure that you and everyone else in your family give the birds the time and space they need during this adjustment period. Keep pets away from the cage or aviary to avoid traumatizing your new birds. It may be a good idea to keep young children away from your new pigeons during the first week or so. Children may not fully understand why they have be quiet or calm around the birds, and this may cause the birds to think they're predators. As your pigeons get used to you and their new home, it's important that they don't become scared of you. Keep your hands behind your back whenever you approach the cage, and avoid sudden movements. Speak, sing, or coo softly to the birds to comfort them and make them familiar with the sound of your voice. As your birds begin to become more comfortable with your presence, spend more time with them. If your birds are still hiding or cowering when you're near their enclosure, give them more time. If not, study or read next to their cage or aviary for a few hours each day. Reach through the bars or wire mesh of the birds' cage or aviary to provide treats. At first, simply place the treats on the ground. This will let the birds know that you're a source of food and care. Slowly, the birds should begin to take treats directly from your hands. Stay outside of their enclosure the first few times you do this. The security of the cage or aviary will let the bird know they're safe. Once they've eaten out of your hands a few times, either open the cage door or let yourself into the aviary to feed them more directly. Once your indoor birds are responding to your presence and eating out of your hand, they're probably ready to be allowed out of their cage. Indoor birds need to spend time outside of their enclosure daily to keep their minds and bodies healthy, so start this process as soon as you feel the birds are ready.  If you're worried about getting pigeon poop in your...

TL;DR in English: Stay patient with new birds as they adjust to your home. Keep your movements and voice calm around your pigeons. Spend time near your birds' cage or aviary to introduce yourself. Feed your birds treats while they're in their enclosures. Let indoor birds explore your home once they're comfortable. Avoid free-flying any domesticated pigeons. Let your birds come to you.

When you’re playing a challenging piece, don’t just play it all the way through over and over and over again while continuously making errors. This is a waste of time. Instead, take a step back and identify and analyze the problem. Then, brainstorm solutions, experiment with them, and implement the best one. For example, if a note comes out flat each time you play it on your trumpet, first identify what you want it to sound like. Then, try to think about the different possible causes of the sour note. Slightly adjust your fingering and your mouth until you discover an adjustment that allows you to play the note properly. There are several free or inexpensive apps that act as timers, metronomes, tuners, and more. Consider using these when you’re on the go so that you don’t have to tote around extra tools and materials. Also, check out different lessons and tutorials on sites like Youtube that can help you solve any specific issues you’re having without paying for a lesson. It’s not always necessary to start at the beginning and play a piece through to the end over and over. If you’re having a problem with a couple measures in the middle of the piece, focus more on that section. This will save you a lot of time and allow you to make more progress. When you aren’t practicing and you have a couple minutes of down time, take out your music or pull it up on your phone and just carefully read through it a few times to familiarize yourself with it more. You can read through your music while you’re riding in the car to get to school or waiting in a long line at the post office. Add a physical component to your practicing that you don’t normally have to deal with. By making a challenging addition to practicing your instrument, you’ll make playing normally feel easier. For example, try to play your instrument while standing on one leg. Everyone has more energy at certain times of the day than at others. Pay attention to what time of day you seem to be the most awake, focused, energetic, and clear-headed. Try to practice...

TL;DR in English: Play smarter. Use technology to your advantage. Focus on your problem areas. Read through the music without your instrument. Make tasks harder by physically challenging yourself. Practice at productive times of day. Practice only for as long as you can focus.

. If you have fractions with whole numbers, changing them into improper fractions will make it easier to add. The numerators of your improper fractions will be larger than their denominators. For example, 6 3/8 + 9 1/24 will turn into 51/8 + 217/24. If the denominators are different, you'll need to write down the multiples of each denominator so you can find 1 that they have in common. For example, for the problem 51/8 + 217/24, list the multiples of 8 and 24 to find 24. Because the multiples of 8 include 8, 16, 24, 32, and 48 and the multiples of 24 include 24, 48, and 72, 24 is the lowest common multiple. The denominators should all become the lowest common multiple that you found. Multiply the whole fraction by a number to make the denominator the lowest common multiple. For example, to make the denominator for 51/8 become 24, multiply the whole fraction by 3. You should get 153/24. If the other fractions in your equation have different denominators, you'll also have to multiply them so they have the same denominator. If the fraction already has that as the denominator, you don't need to adjust the fraction. For example, if you're working with 217/24, you won't need to adjust the fraction since it already has the same denominator. You can add the numerators once the denominators are the same or if there were the same from the start. Once you've added the numerators, put the answer over the denominator. Avoid adding the denominators. For example, 153/24 +217/24 = 370/24. . If your numerator of your answer is larger than the denominator, you'll have to divide it to get a whole number. To finish making a mixed number, write down how many parts you have leftover. This will make the numerator which you can put over the same denominator. Keep reducing the fraction down until it's in its simplest form. For example, 370/24 will become 15 10/24 because 24 goes into 370 15 times and has 10 parts of 24 left over. 10/24 can be further reduced to 5/12 for a finished answer of 15 5/12.

TL;DR in English: Turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions Look for the lowest common denominator if necessary. Make the fraction equivalent if you need to change the denominators. Change all of the fractions in the problem to make them equivalent. Add the numerators but leave the denominator the same, these don't change. Simplify your answer

Especially if you are new to exercising and food management, expect to ease slowly into these lifestyle changes. You might experiment with what foods seem to get a good response from your body and which exercises have the most impact. It is also a good idea to be conservative when estimating calorie intake, as you can always boost it up later. To keep going when you hit plateaus or difficult points, it is important to know what is motivating you. Think about why you need to gain the weight and whether it is critical that you succeed. Remind yourself that your change must be healthy and involve you gaining muscle, not just fat. If you get discouraged, remind yourself of your goals by stating, “I need to do this. I can do this.” Repeat until you feel ready to go again. Try to think about your daily habits to predict any personal challenges before they might occur. If you are fond of eating a very light breakfast, then that is one area that you might need to target for extra calories. If you have certain friends who do not support your plan, then you may need to get some distance from them. Think about ways that you can also incorporate new habits into your lifestyle that fit your weight gain goals. For example, find a workout buddy who has similar objectives. Give yourself a tasty treat before or after a workout. Take a day off every once in a while and do not exercise or follow your diet plan. Use your exercise sessions as a time to listen to some great music. Intermix what you enjoy with your goals, when possible. Don’t let your cheat days get out of control. This can lead to too much fat gain. Tell people who you trust about your weight gain plans. Ask for their advice and support in the upcoming days. They might be able to suggest recipes or even act as a workout partner. You can find a local coach through your gym or doctor. A personal trainer can adjust your workout program to fit your goals. A dietitian will make sure that you are eating enough fuel to stay healthy and on track.

TL;DR in English: Start off slowly. Know why you want to make a change. Watch out for negative triggers. Build in periodic rewards. Get your family and friends involved. Work with a strength and nutrition coach.

Cranberries are a well-known treatment for UTIs that make it harder for bacteria to thrive. Cranberries both make urine more acidic and introduce a chemical from a class called proanthocyanidins, that makes it harder for bacteria to stick to the bladder and urethra's cells. Although many people use cranberries it to treat UTIs, studies suggest that cranberries are better for prevention than treatment.  Drink 300–600 millilitres (1.3–2.5  c) of cranberry juice daily. The study in question studied Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice cocktail, specifically.  Take cranberry capsules (400 mg twice per day) if you don't like the juice. Lingonberry is a berry in the same family as cranberry. One study suggests that drinking cranberry-lingonberry concentrate reduces the risk of UTIs in women and girls. The subjects in this study drank 7.5 g of cranberry and 1.7 g of lingonberry concentrates mixed in 50 millilitres (0.21  c) of water daily. Uva Ursi (Bearberry) might not be available in your grocery store, but you can find it easily and cheaply online. Though uncommon in general American usage, Native American and European medicine have used it for centuries. Take 250-500 mg of powdered bearberry 3 times per day.  This might give your urine a greenish-brown tint, but this is not harmful. Bearberry acts as a diuretic (rids the body of salt and water), so ask your doctor about using it if you're on other medications. In theory, brewer's yeast “crowds out” the bacteria that cause UTIs, but as of now, there are no reliable clinical trials proving it can treat a UTI. Furthermore, brewer's yeast can interact badly with certain types of medications, so talk to your doctor before considering brewer's yeast. Despite the lack of scientific studies, many people take 3g of brewer's yeast twice per day to treat a UTI.  Consult a doctor before taking brewer's yeast if you're on other medications. It should NOT be taken with a class of medications called MAOIs.  MAOIs include the drugs: Selegiline, Phenelzine, Tranylcypromine, Rasagiline,...

TL;DR in English:


Start a modified paleolithic diet to decrease inflammation. Sit down or rest to decrease fatigue. Relax with meditation, massage, or stretching. Get out of the heat and cool off. Wear tight clothing or a constricting scarf. Place a hot water bottle or warm compress on the afflicted area. Go to the emergency room if you have severe chest pain.

You might want everything; an architect, designer, builder and contractor as well as a team of sub-contractors. Or, you might want to do it yourself and call in help when you get stuck. Talk to contractors, at the very least. Unless you are experienced with building and renovations, you will need someone to help you get necessary permits and manage the overall project. You should do the same thing if you are working with designers and other professionals. Getting at least 3 quotes or estimates will help you determine who fits into your budget. Once you hire a contractor, discuss how long the work will take. This will help you plan your renovation and how you will function without the use of your kitchen.

TL;DR in English: Figure out how much professional help you need. Ask for estimates from at least 3 contractors. Talk about timeframes.

An external hard drive can be purchased and connected with a USB cable, eliminating the need to open the computer case.  Connect the external drive using a USB connector cable, typically included with the drive at the time of purchase. The computer can then be configured to boot to the external drive, instead of the internal drive installed on a pre-assembled system. Install the preferred operating system on the external drive once it has been connected. Follow the instructions included in this article for accessing the BIOS feature and installing the preferred operating system. The operating system installed on a pre-assembled system can be erased and replaced with the preferred operating system.  Change the BIOS settings to boot to CD. Restart the computer and open the BIOS configuration interface by repeatedly pressing the assigned hot-key. The assigned hot-key will vary by BIOS manufacturer, but is typically listed on the bottom of the screen just after the computer is turned on. In most cases the hot-key for opening the system BIOS will be the Delete key, the F1 key, the F2 key, F11 or the F12 key. Insert the operating system disk or USB into the optical drive. Once the BIOS has been set to boot to the CD, or optical drive, insert the operating system CD and follow the instructions as prompted to format the hard drive and install the new operating system. The installation program will guide you through each step and notify you once the installation is complete.

TL;DR in English: Replace the hard drive on a pre-assembled system and install the desired operating system. Replace an existing operating system on a pre-assembled system.

Now that you have an idea of a topic, write down everything you want to include in your speech. Be sure to introduce yourself first. Organize the information chronologically as you plan to say it, then go through and cut out any unnecessary or irrelevant information. You might have a lot that you want to say during your icebreaker speech, but it shouldn't really be longer than 4 to 6 minutes. This really means you only get about 2 double-spaced pages for your speech. You should start your introduction by telling your audience your name and a sentence or two about you. You should also include an attention-getting tidbit, like a joke or a quote that you can relate to the theme of your speech, or a short anecdote that relates to the main topic of your speech.  For example, if you're giving your speech at a business gathering, you could start with a quote from the company's founder. If you're giving a wedding toast, it's generally best not to joke—what you think is funny can sometimes come across as mean or embarrassing to the couple getting married. Each of your body paragraphs should somehow connect to the theme of your speech. You shouldn't use the body paragraphs to cram as much information as possible into your speech. Instead, use them to provide examples of the thing you want your audience to know about you. For example, if you're giving a speech that focuses on when you became a doctor as a key moment in your life, your first body paragraph might talk about how you liked helping people as a kid, the second paragraph might talk about your decision to go to medical school, and the last paragraph might talk about what it felt the first time someone called you “doctor.” Your conclusion, like your introduction, should last about 30 seconds. Use it to repeat the main point of your speech, and then thank the host of the event where you're speaking, or offer some parting words of wisdom.  For example, if your icebreaker speech has been about how you became a doctor, you could end by saying something like "Little...

TL;DR in English: Brainstorm what you want to say. Keep it short. Begin with an introduction. Write 3 to 5 body paragraphs. End with a conclusion.

Standing the front wall and a side panel, glue the edge of the side panel to the back of the front wall. Be sure that the nice wood is facing outward and that you have the front wall the right side up (with the 6” nailing blocks at the bottom). Clamp these together, draw a line on the front wall where the center of the side panel is located and then drill pilot holes and place 3” screws along the line, joining the walls together. Repeat with the other side panel when complete. This step works best with two people. Attach a 42” 1x4 to each end of the front wall with glue and then nails, remembering to leave the overhang. Using the cut 42” 1x4’s, glue and nail those onto the side walls where they meets with the front wall, completing the corn stile. Glue and nail the remaining stiles and rails into place. The two remaining 42” 1x4’s will need to be placed at the other edge of the side walls, with the same ¾” overhang as with the front panel. The 42” 1x2’s are then placed next to these as endcaps for the wall. The rails will need to be measured and cut to fit between the side wall corner stiles and then the two remaining 31 ¼” stiles can be centered on the side panels. Place the remained of molding into the recessed panels when the stiles and rails are in place.

TL;DR in English: Attach side panels. Add corner stiles. Finish side panel details.

What you eat can affect symptoms of MS, such as inflammation or pain. A paleolithic diet heavy in fruits and vegetables can help you feel better in the long run.  Aim to eat brightly colored fruits and vegetables, like peppers or oranges. Green vegetables, like spinach or kale, are also good. Vegetables high in sulfur, such as broccoli, cabbage, and bok choy, may also help reduce symptoms. You can eat about 4 oz (110 g) of lean meat a day, like chicken or fish. Reduce or eliminate how much dairy, eggs, and wheat you eat. People with MS are more likely to experience the hug if their bodies are fatigued of if they’re very tired. In either case—especially if you’re performing physical work—sit down and rest. If possible, sleep or take a short nap.  The hug symptoms should decrease. If you lead a stressful life, you may need to find a way to cut back on stress in general in order to decrease the MS hug symptoms. Stress may affect the severity or frequency of your symptoms. If you start feeling constricted or overwhelmed, take a break. Do some light stretching, or pause to meditate.  Go get a massage. A massage may be effective in helping your symptoms. If there's something that usually helps you relax, such as music or a bath, try doing it to see if it helps with your symptoms. The MS hug is more likely to occur if you’re overheated, whether from being out in the sun or from exercising or doing physical labor. Whatever the cause, find a way to cool down. If you’re in the sun, move into the shade or go indoors. If you’re exercising, stop and take a break in a cool room. If you live in at hot climate, you may need to adjust your schedule so that you spend more time outdoors in the early morning and late evening, before the day reaches its full heat. Many MS patients find that wearing a tight shirt or jacket, or knotting a scarf around the abdomen (or wherever MS hug symptoms are felt) can decrease the pain. Tight clothing around the abdomen can fool the brain into thinking that the pain from the MS hug is in fact...

TL;DR in English:


Understand the purpose of renovation pruning. Wait until the dormant season. Remove any suckers. Trim up to one-third of the stems.

If you don't have time or don't want to spend time exercising regularly, try increasing your daily lifestyle activities.  These are exercises you already do and increasing them can help you burn more calories throughout the day.  Think about your day and see if you can find additional ways to add in more steps or to move more.  A little planning can help you find a few ways to add in activity or find an extra few minutes to be active. Try adding in activity like:  taking the stairs over the elevator, parking far away from your destination and standing or walk in place during TV commercials. Make a rule to walk to your destinations if they are under 1 mile (if safe and appropriate for you).  Skip taking the bus or driving. Going to the gym, doing high intensity aerobic classes or spending money on expensive equipment isn't possible or comfortable for everyone.  Walking is an activity that most healthy people can do that can help burn calories and increase your cardiovascular fitness.  If you walk 30 minutes on five days of the week, you'll be meeting the minimum guidelines for physical activity (150 minutes per week).  If you don't have time for a full 30 mins, try breaking up your walk into three 10 minute increments. You don't have to spend hours in the gym or purchase expensive equipment to include strength training.  Even light weight resistance training can help increase muscle mass and muscle tone.  Again, you can break up your strength training routine into 10 minute increments if it fits better into your schedule. Try including exercises that are easy to do at home and require no extra equipment.  Exercises can include:  sit ups, push ups, tricep dips, lunges or side leg lifts. Sometimes people think exercise just means running on a treadmill, but there are tons of ways to get exercise, inside and outside the gym. Try a new machine at the gym, or go for a long bike ride or a challenging hike. Try jumping rope or playing hopscotch with your kids or younger siblings.   Put on some upbeat music and dance...

TL;DR in English: Add in more lifestyle activity. Go for a 30 minute walk. Add in 20 minutes of strength training. Think outside the box.

Sports and games are often played on a field or a board. Devote time to determining where your game will be played.   Will you repurpose an existing sports field, like a baseball diamond, or game board? Will you create an entirely new space or board for your game? What are the dimensions? Are there lines and boundaries? What images and designs appear on your board? How does the space function within the context of the game? Sports and games are played by one or more players. How many players may participate in your sport or game? Occasionally, players will have different roles. List the roles players may choose between. Describe the responsibilities, advantages, and disadvantages that accompanies each role. Sports and games are often played with a variety of equipment and or pieces. Make a list of the equipment and pieces required to play your sport or game.  Can you repurpose existing sporting equipment and game pieces or do you need to design your own? Does the game require uniforms?  Do different players need different pieces of equipment or accessories?

TL;DR in English: Create the game’s field or board. Determine the number of players and develop the players’ roles. Design the equipment or additional pieces.

Poinsettias are most comfortable at about the same temperature you are. Fortunately, this means that they’ll be content in almost any room of the house.  Situate your plant away from any doors or windows that you open frequently. Poinsettias don’t hold up well under a draft.  Do not place poinsettias near heaters, radiators, or vents. Avoid raising or lowering the thermostat too dramatically when temperatures outside fluctuate. Fertilizers are essential for adding vital nutrients to your growing soil. Balanced water-soluble houseplant fertilizers are the safest choice for delicate plants like poinsettias. Always use the amount specified in the instructions of a particular product.  You can also use a natural organic material like garden compost or worm castings to fertilize your poinsettia.  The best time to apply fertilizer is soon after watering, while the soil is still moist. Fertilizing poinsettias in dry soil could damage the roots.  Plan on reapplying fertilizer about once a month while the plant is in its most active stages of growth. Let your poinsettia sit outdoors for a few hours on warm afternoons. Place the plant in a partially-shaded area so it doesn’t overheat. Screened-in patios and flower beds protected by tree cover can make great outdoor homes for growing poinsettias.  Introduce your poinsettia to outdoor conditions gradually. It’s usually best to start with a few hours in the early morning, then increase its exposure by an hour or two every day until it’s able to withstand an entire afternoon. Look for a spot in your garden with plenty of morning sun but more shade in the afternoon. It may be necessary to water your poinsettia more frequently if it’s been spending a lot of time in the hot sun. Drooping, wilting, or wrinkled leaves may be a sign that your plant has been outside too long. Once the weather begins to heat up, it can be helpful to cut away roughly a third (or even up to half) of your poinsettia’s overall size. Strategic pruning is necessary to kickstart growth. It will create a...

TL;DR in English: Keep your poinsettia at a constant 65–75 °F (18–24 °C). Fertilize your poinsettia once a month throughout the spring. Move the plant outside to a spot with indirect sunlight. Trim the stems back to 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) in the spring or summer.

Even though many trends in hit music have been analyzed, no composer or researcher has figured out how to write a hit every time. Strong feelings usually convey potent messages to listeners, so using your feelings as a guide for writing your hit can be helpful. Save drafts before making changes to your song. Some additions can make a song worse, in which case you might want to roll back the song to a previous version. Re-purpose themes, licks, and riffs from old music. Put your own spin on these and incorporate them into your own melody. Take inspiration from your favorite oldies or the classics. Revitalize forgotten hits of the past by creating your own song from them.  Avoid copying a song note for note, word for word, or even too closely. Doing so could be interpreted as plagiarism and could result in legal trouble.  Explore different avenues of inspiration. You may find that collaborating with another artist pushes you to make your best work. Trying to follow the rules too rigidly can stifle your creativity. It can also make your sound too stiff or lacking in fluidity. When brainstorming ideas for your song, be willing to try new things. You never know when an unexpected lyric or combination of sounds will occur to you. Because music can be fickle, you might want to keep a physical notebook for ideas or take musical memos on your phone for ideas that pop into your head. When mining for gold, it can take quite a while before finding the motherload. In the same way, even talented songwriters write many songs before they strike upon a hit. Train your song writing abilities by practicing writing songs as frequently as possible.

TL;DR in English: Trust your instincts. Inspire yourself with songs from the past. Be flexible. Be persistent.

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that was developed in the 1920s by a Buddhist monk named Mikao Usui. Like many other forms of energy healing, Reiki involves the practitioner gently touching various points on the patient's body. Scientific studies of Reiki therapy have demonstrated that it is effective for reducing pain, anxiety, fatigue, and stress, and that it may be especially useful for patients dealing with chronic illnesses or recovering from difficult surgeries. Read up on the history and therapeutic benefits of Reiki at the Center for Reiki Research website: http://www.centerforreikiresearch.org/ In order to become a Reiki practitioner, you must learn from a qualified Reiki master. While there is no one organization or governing body that determines who can be qualified to practice Reiki, there are a variety of private companies and organizations that offer Reiki training, certification, and licensing. Ask around among people you know who practice Reiki to find out where they trained, or do an online search for Reiki training in your area. You can search for a teacher or practitioner registered through the International Association of Reiki Professionals here: https://iarp.org/find-reiki-practitioner-teacher/ Although the stages of Reiki training may vary depending on your school or instructor, it is typically taught in 3 stages or “degrees.” The first degree focuses on teaching students simple techniques that they can use on themselves and friends or family. You will learn about the history and precepts of Reiki, as well as basic healing techniques.  First-degree training typically takes only 8-12 hours to complete, although some beginning courses may take longer (e.g., 1-2 days). The cost of first-degree or beginning Reiki training may vary depending on your teacher or school, but introductory classes often cost around $200 USD.  Training may include the basics of hand placement, meditation techniques, and hands-on practice. In many Reiki training programs, the second stage of learning involves...

TL;DR in English: Familiarize yourself with Reiki. Find a Reiki master in your area. Take a first-degree training class to learn the basics of Reiki. Complete a second-degree course to learn more advanced techniques. Become a Reiki master with third degree training. Establish your Reiki practice.

Rosa rugosa shrubs often remain tidy without much interference, but if the roses start looking messy or overgrown, you will need to use renovation pruning to clean the plant up.  Note that renovation pruning can cause a slight loss of flower production the following year, but it is still beneficial to your plant overall. Rose shrubs that are too overgrown essentially over-extend themselves and their resources. It may take a few years for the stress to show, but once it does, your plant will be much weaker and may have a hard time surviving. For the first two or three seasons, you should actually avoid renovation pruning. Doing so can allows the plant to establish itself more securely. Once the plant establishes itself, consider waiting every other year to do an overhaul on it. Renovation pruning can be performed once every year, but if new growth on the plant is not vigorous enough or if the plant grows weak, you may need to skip every other year. As with essential yearly pruning, you should wait until the plant enters its dormant stage before pruning it down. Waiting until the last frost passes in early spring is often the best option, but you should be able to prune the shrub at any point between late fall and early spring. Suckers refer to stems that grow from the rootstock of the plant instead of the main stem. Cut these suckers off at the ground level.  Aside from looking messy, the main problem with suckers is that they tend to grow too well and will deprive your main rosa rugosa shrub of the nutrients it needs. As a result, your main shrub will weaken and eventually die. Cutting suckers off at the ground will usually be enough, but if you want to be more thorough, dig down to the root from which the sucker originates and tear or cut it off at its point of origin. Starting with the oldest stems, cut down between one-quarter and one-third of the stems on the plant. These stems should be trimmed down to ground level.  In this instance, "ground level" refers to any height between the ground and 1.5 inches...

Make sure to store your kerosene in a safe container labeled for kerosene or flammable liquid. Store your kerosene in a safe place. Keep kerosene for one to three months. Don't throw your kerosene away – no matter how old it is.

There are three types of fountain pens on the market today: cartridge, converter, and piston. The different types refer to the different ink delivery methods, and the method will determine how you refill your pen when the ink runs out.  Cartridge pens are the most common today, and they are the easiest to refill. To write with this type of pen, you simply purchase pre-filled ink cartridges, so when one runs out, all you do is replace the cartridge. Converter cartridges are reusable cartridges that get inserted into a cartridge pen. These are great for people who don’t mind refilling the ink and don’t want to throw away a cartridge every time the ink runs out. Piston pens are similar to converter cartridges, but the pen comes with its own built-in refilling system, so you don’t have to replace the reusable cartridge with a separately purchased converter. Remove the cap from the nib, and, if necessary, the cap off the back of the pen that covers the end knob. Twist the knob (most likely in a counter-clockwise direction) to extend the piston toward the front of the pen. When that’s done:  Dip the entire nib into an ink jar, making sure to cover the hole on the back of the nib. Turn the piston knob in a clockwise direction to draw ink into the chamber. When the chamber is full, pull the pen out of the ink. Turn the piston in a counter-clockwise direction again and let a few drops of ink back into the bottle. This will help remove air bubbles. Clean the nib with a cloth to remove any excess ink. Converters work in one of two ways, either with a piston mechanism or an air-bladder mechanism (also called squeeze converters). To refill an air-bladder pen, dip the nib into the ink bottle and:   Slowly press the converter at the back of the pen, and wait for air bubbles to appear in the ink. Slowly release the converter and wait for the ink to be drawn into the chamber. Repeat until the chamber is full.

TL;DR in English: Determine what kind of fountain pen you have. Refill ink in a piston pen. Refill the ink in a converter cartridge.

Wash the pitcher in the sink with hot soapy water. Plastic Brita pitchers are not made to withstand excessively hot water, so never clean your Brita filter by putting it in the dishwasher. If you do, your pitcher is likely to melt and warp, making it useless. When you wash the pitcher, use a basic dishwashing soap that is non-abrasive. Any type of liquid dish soap with mild cleaning ingredients works fine. Use a soft cloth or sponge as opposed to steel wool or any other harsh scrubbers. Dawn, Palmolive, and Joy are examples of mild dish soaps which are good to use. After you have washed the pitcher, rinse it thoroughly. To let the pitcher dry, set it upside down in a drying rack or on a clean towel on your counter or table. Drying the pitcher with a towel may leave small fibers which will get into your water. If you are in a hurry, dry the pitcher with a paper towel to avoid leaving cloth fibers.

TL;DR in English: Wash the pitcher by hand. Use a mild dish detergent and a soft cloth. Rinse the pitcher and dry it upside down.

If you forgot some type of worksheet or essential assignment sheet, call up a friend. Ask if you can borrow their worksheet for a few minutes. Then take the worksheet to a nearby office supply store and have it photocopied.  If you have a scanner and printer or a copy machine, you can complete this task at home. Most printing places charge $0.10 for a single black and white copy. If you do not have access to a copy machine, or do not have a ride to your friend’s house, you can ask them to take a picture of the worksheet or scan it and send it to you by text or email. If you can’t print it out, you can copy it by hand using your best handwriting. Does your school use an online platform to post assignments and grades? If so, it is possible your teacher posted a copy of this worksheet to that page. Log in, look for the name of this assignment or the chapter it corresponds to, and locate the worksheet. Print it out at home. If the worksheet was produced by the company who made your textbook, you can likely locate a copy of it online. Search by the publisher, textbook title, and subject matter or chapter you are working on. Locate a PDF of the worksheet and print it out at home. Often times, your teacher will have an electronic copy of the worksheet that they can send to you. Email your teacher right away and request a copy of the worksheet.   Be sure to use clear grammar, complete sentences, and good etiquette in your email. You can only use this method once or twice before your teacher will become frustrated with you. Your teacher may be less than pleased that you don’t have the worksheet if you’ve had an extended period of time to complete it rather than if it was assigned that day.

TL;DR in English: Photocopy a friend’s worksheet for an easy solution. Look on the website for your course, if applicable. Find a PDF of the worksheet online if possible. Email your teacher as a last resort.

Especially if you are lending a large sum of money (what “large” means depends on what you believe is a large sum), it is critical that you create a document that lays out the terms of the loan. This document will lay out who is lending the money, and to whom, how much money is being lent, when the borrower is expected to begin paying back the money, and when the sum should be paid in full. The document should also include any interest that is to be repaid.  Understand that this document will, most importantly, protect you in the event that your friend is unwilling to pay you back. However, it also serves the purpose of making the terms of the loan clear and explicit, which will, hopefully, help avoid any misunderstandings. Remember to have the borrower sign and date the document, as it will not be enforceable without their signature. Most states follow the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The UCC states that in order to be legally enforceable the document must include the following information:  It must be a written document that is signed by the borrower. You, as the lender, may also sign the document, but you don’t have to. The document must promise the payment of money. The document must state a fixed amount of money (with or without interest). There must be a definite time that the money should be repaid. The money must be payable to a holder. As the lender of the money and the holder of the document, you are the holder. The document should only pertain to the money to be repaid. That is, there should be no other acts included in the document. In the document, you should lay out when you expect to start being repaid, and when your friend should pay you in full by. Make sure to include any interest that you expect to receive, as well as what the consequences are if a payment is not received on time.  For example, if you lend your friend $500 on February 1, you might lay out a plan that says that they are to begin paying you back on April 1 and that they are to pay you $100 each month with 0.5% interest on...

TL;DR in English: Create a contract. Make sure that the document is legally enforceable. Include a repayment plan. Get the document notarized.

Prostatitis, inflammation of the prostate because of infection, is a cause of slow or weak urine flow in men. You usually also have pain in your groin or pelvis, and possibly chills or a fever. See your doctor to get checked if you have these symptoms associated with difficulty urinating. Prostatitis will be treated with antibiotics if it’s caused by a bacterial infection. Urinary tract infections, or UTIs, are much more common in women than men. UTIs can cause inflammation or swelling that blocks urine flow. Visit your doctor for treatment if you have symptoms of a UTI such as:  A strong urge to urinate Burning or pain when you urinate Urinating often in small amounts, or having weak flow Urine that looks cloudy, pink, red, or brown Pain in the center of your pelvis A strong smell to your urine Sometimes if you’re constipated, hardened stool can push against your urethra or bladder and block urine from leaving your body. If you’re unable to urinate or have a weak flow and you’re also constipated, try to alleviate your constipation, then see if you can urinate freely.  Drink extra water, eat prunes, and avoid dairy to try to alleviate constipation. Take an over-the-counter laxative like Miralax or Colace, or try a Fleet enema. Ask the pharmacist for suggestions. If you’ve had past surgeries in the area of your lower abdomen, scar tissue may have formed. See your doctor for evaluation and discuss any illnesses, surgeries, or medical problems you have had with your bladder, kidneys, urethra, vagina, or prostate. Scar tissue can sometimes be removed with a minor surgery, which will allow for more room for urine flow. Scarred areas can also be open up with dilators, which stretch the area to allow urine to flow better. These procedures often need to be repeated over time. Stay away from antihistamines like Benadryl, and decongestants like pseudoephedrine found in many cold medicines. Ingredients in these make it harder to urinate.

TL;DR in English: Get medical treatment for weak flow with groin pain. Get treated if it burns when you pee. Treat your constipation. Get examined for scar tissue. Stop medications that decrease urination.

Kerosene containers must also be provided with an approved label, as required by federal and state authorities. Storing kerosene in anything other than an approved container is strictly prohibited for safety reasons. Since kerosene is a flammable liquid, it should be stored at room temperature and away from potential heat sources like the sun, hot water heaters, space heaters, furnaces, or ignition sources. This safety precaution will help keep you and your family safe in case of a spill. Storing kerosene for longer than three months can be dangerous, as the old fuel can break down and cause the growth of bacteria or mold. Ideally, you should buy high-quality kerosene in small quantities and store it in its original certified container. If you change the container of the kerosene, it might get mistaken for another substance – which could be dangerous. If you have kerosene left over after a few months, it's best for you to properly dispose of it. If you throw kerosene away, it will end up in landfills or incinerators, or may even be dumped into rivers. When kerosene is disposed improperly, it can poison the air, soil, water, wild animals, and even people and their pets.
