Look at your problem. Check the equation for varying terms and constant terms. Prepare to move the numbers around so that the varying terms are on one side and the constant terms are on the side such as in 16x−5x=32−10{\displaystyle 16x-5x=32-10} (that equation is solved in example 2). Move the varying terms to one side of the equation. Bring all the constant terms onto the other side of the equation.

Bird netting materials can prevent owls from getting into your chicken coop. Netting is typically placed over structural openings on your coop and can be attached with bird netting mounting clips. You can also use a tarp sheet if you want to give your chickens some shade.  Local hardware or garden stores should stock all of these materials. Be sure to get some measurements from your coop so that you purchase something that is big enough.  Use orange netting if possible, as both owls and hawks see this color well. Larger coops usually provide adequate protection for your chickens, making netting unnecessary. Areas with plenty of bushes and shrubs can provide natural cover from predatory birds like owls and make it more difficult for them to attack.  If you plant your own ground cover plants, make sure they are varieties that chickens can eat like lavender, rosemary, sage, wormwood, fennel, thyme, nasturtium, and comfrey. Double-check that they are suited to your climate zone. Purchase pH papers online to check if your soil matches optimal pH levels. If it's outside of the recommended range of the plant you're going to grow, use an appropriate adjustment technique. Ground cover also provides shade for your chickens during the hot summer months. Prune branches and remove any trees that make ideal perching spots. Before you conduct any removal services, make sure that any tree or structure you're removing is on your property.  Hire an arborist for anything you are uncomfortable doing on your own. If there are trees on neighboring property that are giving you owl problems, discuss the possibility of removal with your neighbor before taking any action. Roosting spike strips have vertically-positioned spikes that make it impossible for owls and birds to land on them. Owls typically perch in high spots to observe your chickens and plan their method of attack. Take note of any regions that could be used for roosting in proximity of your chicken coop and place roosting spikes on them, such as near rain gutters. ...

TL;DR in English: Cover your chicken coop with protective material. Raise your chickens in regions with ample ground cover. Remove perching sites within 91 metres (299 ft) of your chickens. Place roosting spikes on perching areas 91 metres (299 ft) past your coop. Install an electric fence

Experience is important in any profession, but particularly vital in a field that requires as specific a skill set as zoo keeping. Volunteering can be a great start and can lead to internships and jobs down the road.  Zoos usually have training sessions for volunteers. Safety is important when working with wild animals, so expect orientation to be more detailed for a zoo than for many other volunteer experiences.  Schedules are generally flexible. You can volunteer on a set schedule, like bi-weekly or bi-monthly, or you can just volunteer for special events such as pregnancy watches and animal introductions.  Make the most out of your volunteer experience. Ask questions and talk to zoo keepers about how they landed their position. Try to network and make connections you can use to land other positions later on. An internship looks great on a resume and provides solid, hands-on experience. While internships are great for any field, as zoo keeping requires a very specific skill set it's vital to gain internship experience on your path to becoming a zoo keeper.  The American Association of Zoo Keepers has listings of internships online with AAZK-accredited institutions. Their database is a great starting point when browsing for positions. Zoo keeping internships are demanding. While many internships are part-time, a zoo keeping internship is typically 40 hours a week. You are expected to work weekends.  The positions are usually unpaid, but you may get a small stipend or room and board.  Internships usually last around three months. High school and college students often find it beneficial to take on an internship over the summer. Zoo keeping requires a combination of hands-on and technical skills. Bolster your resume by getting certified for things like CPR and first aid and building a computer skill set.  You can enroll in classes to get a first aid/CPR certification. As zoo keepers need to be ready for emergencies, this will set you ahead of other applications when applying for a job. Oftentimes, college...

TL;DR in English: Volunteer with a zoo. Intern at a zoo. Gain certifications and technical skills.

This is where halibut typically spend their time.  Once you hit bottom, reel back a bit so you are just off the floor.  Wait for around thirty seconds for a bite before moving the bait again. Raise and lower the bait a few feet (meters) or gently move it from side to side in the water to help attract the fish to your line. If, after about a dozen casts, you haven’t had a bite, you may want to consider repositioning.  Try exploring one of your other target spots. Once you do get a bite, fight your instinct to set the hook by pulling — a powerful halibut is likely to slip free this way.  Instead, allow your fishing line to lower back into the water until it goes tight. Wind and lower your fishing rod and then pull again, bringing the halibut up close to the water's surface.  Take your time and go easy.  Halibut will often come to the surface without much resistance if a gentle touch is applied. Keep going until the fish is just below the water’s surface. Don’t try to fight it or pull it closer, or you will likely lose your hook or break your line.  Instead, give it some slack and wait for it to calm back down.  Then, try slowly but surely bringing it up again.  Remember, this magnificent fish is worth the extra time.

TL;DR in English: Drop your bait close to the bottom of the sea floor. Wait for a halibut to take the bait. Set your hook and steadily pull the line up with control. Allow a “spooked” halibut to run free for a bit.

While valerian root is a fairly safe herbal supplement, there are some side effects that you may experience while taking it. These include dizziness, headaches, and stomach problems. In addition, you may feel very drowsy, even after a full night’s sleep, so it is important to use extreme caution when driving or operating machinery. Valerian root is not right for everyone. Before you take it, talk to your doctor to ensure that it is safe for you.  Women who are pregnant or nursing should not take valerian root. Children under 3 years old should not take valerian root. People with liver disease should not take valerian root. Valerian root may interact with prescription medications and other herbal supplements you are taking. Always talk to your doctor about all of the medications and supplements you take.  Valerian root is known to interact with alcohol and sedatives. Valerian root may also affect your liver function, so be cautious if you are taking medications that are broken down by the liver. If you suffer from insomnia, taking valerian root may not be the best remedy for your condition. Seeing a doctor for a diagnosis can help you discover and treat the root cause of your insomnia. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a very effective treatment for insomnia that is not caused by an underlying medical condition.

TL;DR in English: Watch out for side effects. Know who shouldn’t take valerian root. Be cautious if you are taking other medications. Consider alternative therapies for insomnia.

There is some debate about when cats should be fixed. Some experts suggest getting a kitten spayed or neutered when the cat is as young as two months old. Others, arguing that cats need more time to develop before removing their sex organs, say that spaying and neutering should occur closer to when the cat is four months old. In general, in an effort to limit pet populations, early spaying and neutering is encouraged. Many veterinarians agree that it is better to spay or neuter your kitten a bit early rather than risking it starting its reproductive cycle and getting impregnated accidentally. It is a myth that you should wait until a cat has its first estrus before getting it spayed. Instead, doing it before her first cycle can actually help her health in the future. Having your kitten fixed before her first estrus minimizes the risk of some health conditions that could pop up in the future, for instance mammary tumors. Your veterinarian will have the best idea about when your kitten is ready to be spayed or neutered. Have a discussion with the vet about when the surgery should occur and why the vet believes your kitten is ready. Feel free to ask the veterinarian any questions that you have about the surgery. You should get enough information so that you are secure in your decision to get your cat spayed or neutered.

TL;DR in English: Wait until your kitten is several months old. Have a female kitten spayed before its first estrus. Consult with your veterinarian.

A simple linear equation might look like 7x−10=3x−6{\displaystyle 7x-10=3x-6}. Varying terms are numbers like 7x{\displaystyle 7x}, 3x{\displaystyle 3x}, 6y{\displaystyle 6y} or 10z{\displaystyle 10z}, where the number changes depending on what you plug into the variable, or letter. Constant terms are numbers like 10{\displaystyle 10}, 6{\displaystyle 6} or 30{\displaystyle 30}, where the number never changes. Usually, equations won't come with varying terms and constant terms lined up on separate sides. In the example above, the left-hand side (LHS) has both varying and constant terms, as does the right-hand side (RHS). In order to do this, you may have to subtract or add the numbers you want to move from both sides. In the next step, you'll see how to do that in example 1. The equation 16x−5x=32−10{\displaystyle 16x-5x=32-10} does have all the varying terms on one side (LHS), while all the constant terms are on the other side (RHS). It doesn't matter to which side you move the varying terms. In example 1, 7x−10=3x−6{\displaystyle 7x-10=3x-6} can be rearranged by choosing to subtract either 7x{\displaystyle 7x} or 3x{\displaystyle 3x} from both sides. Choosing to subtract 7x{\displaystyle 7x}, you have:(7x−7x)−10=(3x−7x)−6−10=−4x−6{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}(7x-7x)-10&=(3x-7x)-6\\-10&=-4x-6\end{aligned}}} That is: move the constant terms so that they are on the opposite side of the equation from where the varying terms are. We see that −6{\displaystyle -6} must be subtracted from both sides:−10−(−6)=−4x−6−(−6)−4=−4x{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}-10-(-6)&=-4x-6-(-6)\\-4&=-4x\end{aligned}}}

TL;DR in English:


Understand the other person's position. Introduce your counterargument. Offer rebuttals to the other person's argument. Respond to any of the other person's rebuttals. Spot logical fallacies Be laid back about it. Don't rehash the same arguments over and over again. Wrap things up amicably.

Cleaning out and organizing a garage can be a messy process in itself, requiring you to nearly empty out the space and evaluate what you've got to work with. Depending on the clutter and the junk pile up, it can be a quick afternoon of tidying or a long weekend project requiring a couple trips to the hardware store. Clean out the drawers, the shelves, and the storage units and start over. Don't try to a half-job by moving some stuff around and calling it "reorganized," even if your garage is relatively uncluttered. It's still a good idea to re-evaluate the storage space you do have to use it to its maximum potential. When you're getting started, pair like items with like items. How you choose categories will depend on the stuff you've got in your garage, but you might pair automotive tools with automotive tools, yard tools with yard tools, and sporting goods with other sporting goods for an easy start. You can get more specific as you start organizing. Set up a few tarps on the driveway or in the yard if you've got a real mess on your hands. This can help to keep the mess contained if you've got especially greasy or oily tools. If you've got a cluttered garage, it's important to get rid of anything that's broken, useless, or unnecessary. Doing so should reduce your amount of clutter significantly and make it easier to organize what you really do need more effectively. Here are some questions to help you figure out whether or not a particular item is essential to your garage:  Have you used the item in the last year? Does the item work properly? If not, are you likely to fix it in the next year? Is the item valuable, or does it have sentimental value? Whatever you end up putting in the "unusable" pile, get rid of it as soon as possible. Don't take it to the dump "next time you get around to it," do it right now. Clearing out the clutter is the only way to commit to a more organized and efficient work space in your garage. If you don't need it, don't keep it around to take up premium space.  Throw away broken...

TL;DR in English: Commit to a bigger mess. Start making piles. Distinguish between usable and unusable items. Get rid of the useless stuff. Clean up all the usable items.

If you are able to get the stain out this way, you will be using the mildest approach and be able to completely avoid using any chemical products. In a large bucket or basin, add the garment to ¼ cup of lemon juice and 1 gallon of boiling water, allow the garment to soak for 1-2 hours then ring the garment out as much as you can. Let the garment dry fully in the sun before wearing it again. As vinegar contains acetic acid, it helps to dissolve the bleach and peel away the damaged fabric. Buy white vinegar from your local store and completely saturate the stain in vinegar. Rinse the garment in cold water once done and then repeat if necessary.  Prior to treating the garment with vinegar, rinse the garment in cold water to remove any of the residual bleach. Mixing bleach with vinegar can release toxins. Use limited quantities when using vinegar on cotton garments, as in time, vinegar will ruin cotton fabrics. Rather than trying to remove the stain, another option is to cover the stain. Depending on where the stain is, a cleverly placed patch or your favorite badge could do the trick! You could even do a crochet pattern.

TL;DR in English: Use lemon juice for the most gentle treatment. Try vinegar as another chemical-free option. Use a patch to cover up the problem.

Use a rag to rub warm water and isopropyl alcohol around the hole to clean off any dirt or grime. Let it dry for a few minutes before continuing. This will help the glue adhere to the rubber. Scrub the edges of the hole with sandpaper until it appears to take on a rougher texture. Remove the insole of the shoe and place a piece of duct tape inside the shoe where the hole is. If the hole does not go all the way through the inside of the shoe, put your finger in the hole and push up to see where the hole is and cover that part with duct tape. Being careful not to touch the adhesive with your bare hands, gently squeeze it into the hole. Make sure the entire hole is filled, and don’t worry if there is some overflow. The ice cube will allow you to smooth the surface of the glue without sticking to it. You can also use a tongue depressor or spoon covered with petroleum jelly. Set the shoe so that the sole is facing upwards. Leave it somewhere out of the way where it will be cool and dry. Leave it for at least a full day. Check to see if there is dried glue protruding from the hole or spilling out over the edges. If there is, use 120-grit sandpaper to sand it down until the bottom of the sole is smooth.

TL;DR in English: Clean the area around the hole with water and alcohol. Roughen up the edges of the hole with 120-grit sandpaper. Put duct tape over the inside of the shoe above the hole. Fill the hole with shoe sole adhesive. Use an ice cube to smooth the surface of the adhesive. Let the shoe dry for 24 hours with the sole turned up. Sand down any dried adhesive that overflowed from the hole.

Scissors are a good method for shortening a beard, but require a skilled hand for finer details, such as thinning or shaping.  Make sure the scissors are rust-free and without major imperfections or notches in the blades that may tug on or pull your hair. Don't use kitchen scissors or garden shears. These can be too big and clumsy to maneuver. You don't want to cut yourself. This will prevent you from cutting the hair too short. Try to imitate the way a barber gathers hair in a comb, then lightly clips it.  Comb from your ear to your jaw, exposing a tiny amount of hair. Trim any hair which is on the outside of the comb's teeth. Use caution when performing this step. Begin by trimming very short lengths of hair - you can easily decide to trim more, but it is impossible to correct the mistake if you accidentally trim too much. Continue cutting the beard evenly until you've reached the desired length. Comb the beard again to ensure you've got an even trim of the hair. Comb the hair straight down. In a straight line, trim any hair that falls below the line of your lip. Using extra care, use the scissors to trim the hair as close as possible on your neck.  If possible, use an electric trimmer for this step. If you're intimidated, you can simply lather and shave your neck with a safety razor to remove all the hair. This can be much easier than making the finishing touches with scissors.

TL;DR in English: Select a pair of sharp, clean scissors, preferably barber's shears. Use a comb as a guide. Repeat this process on the other side of your face. Trim your mustache and chin. Finish with a clean edge.

When receiving a gift of any kind, you should absolutely tell the giver “thank you” for it.  "Thank you" is the best response you can offer no matter what you receive. Expressing thanks demonstrates your desire to accept the gift, compliment, or sentiment while still being humble about it. If simply saying "thanks" feels awkward to you, follow the phrase with a secondary phrase that continues to express gratitude. Try something like, "I appreciate the compliment," or, "That's very thoughtful of you." Your nonverbal response is just as important as your verbal response. At minimum, you should receive the vast majority of gifts with a smile.  Smiling indicates happiness, and the point of any gift is to make the receiver happy. Smiling when you receive something allows the giver to know that the gift was appreciated, regardless of whether the smile is shy and polite or huge and enthusiastic. Aside from smiling, you should also do things like maintaining eye contact and leaning in toward the giver. Even if you feel uncomfortable, you should avoid crossing your arms, looking away, or appearing disinterested. If you have a hard time receiving, your natural reaction might be to deflect or reject a gift that is offered to you. Doing so is actually more likely to cause a negative reaction than receiving the gift would cause, however. Put yourself into the giver's shoes and think of how it feels when someone denies a compliment or suspiciously rejects a gift. Most people will either be saddened when they realize the receiver doesn't know his or her own value, or frustrated by the implication that the gift or sentiment was somehow dishonest. It is also possible, of course, to seem conceited when you receive something. Failing to express genuine gratitude may make you appear egotistical, which can also cause a negative response from the giver. Appearing egotistical can usually be avoided as long as you stick to the standard “thank you” script. You should still avoid following your thanks with words of self-promotion,...

TL;DR in English: Verbalize your gratitude. Receive with open body language. Resist the urge to deny the gift. Don't get carried away. Give credit where credit is due. Follow the appropriate protocol. Avoid competing with the giver.

Ask them to clarify any confusing areas. Nobody's worldview is perfectly coherent, but it's hard to debate someone when they're all over the place. Try to gently get them to adhere to one line of arguments that are more or less consistent. If you're not sure about what their argument is, help them out in a non-threatening way: "So, if I understand what you're saying, you mean that the penny should be abolished because it costs more than a penny to produce a penny?" After you've respectfully echoed what they say, introduce your counterargument. Explain the gist of what you believe and how it runs contrary to their argument. Try to think of an idea as solid as theirs is. Don't just say they are wrong: think of a thing you can really argue for that is itself a solid belief.  For example, if they say the government should give tax breaks to hybrid car owners, don't just say, "What I believe is that you're wrong and that's a terrible idea." Instead, counter their idea with another: "I think the government should focus on building citywide transit--it's better for the environment if we dismantle car culture altogether." Offer examples along with your thesis for why you hold a particular belief. After you have stated your counterargument, try to rebut their argument with supporting arguments as well as evidence that supports those arguments.  "Does it really make sense to say that any form of government — municipal, state, or federal — should legislate sexual morality? It's not a question of "could" — they're more than capable of doing it; it's more a question of whether it's right for them to say how we should treat our own bodies in the privacy of our own home. Where does it stop if we let them get a foot in the door?" More than likely, the other person you're debating will take issue with some of the things you are saying. Remember their rebuttals and tackle them when the other person has finished speaking.  Because this is an informal setting, you won't be taking notes as you go. Use more casual methods to...

Talking about possible suicide can be a very tense subject, especially for your friend who may also have feelings of guilt and shame associated with their suffering. Initiate a conversation without the presence of distractions. Choose a relaxed and familiar environment if possible. The following are good questions that you can use to start the conversation:  "How are you coping with what's been happening in your life?" "Do you ever feel like just giving up?" "Do you think often about dying?" "Are you considering hurting yourself?" "Are you thinking about suicide?" "Have you ever  tried to harm yourself before?" Be as specific as possible to avoid sounding accusatory. For example, instead of saying something like "You always talk about how impossible everything is", try detailed observations like "I have noticed in the past few months that things you used to enjoy, like spending time with your kids, does not seem to improve your mood much."  Openly embrace the topic as another way to show how much you care. If you are direct about your concern, you will give off a sense of a justified sense of urgency. It is a common myth that bringing up suicide will put the idea into a person's mind. In fact, speaking openly about suicide can help your friend realize that there are other options available.  Stay on topic as best you can. Your friend might try to dismiss your concern by looking at you with confusion or making you feel silly for bringing it up. But, don't be afraid to be persistent in your concern--especially in light of recognizing warning signs. Keep an open mind that does not judge the friend’s feelings or decisions. You may think your friend is incorrect in their reasoning or that their situation is not bad enough that they should want to commit suicide. However, understand that you can’t fully understand. The belief that suicide is selfish, crazy, or morally defective is widely circulated in our culture. Be aware that suicidality is the result of a treatable condition for which your friend is not at...

TL;DR in English: Set a comfortable scene. Broach the issue of suicide. Speak clearly and openly. Avoid stigmatizing suicide. Stay away from statements that can hurt. Listen empathically Relay how much you care.

Plays are character-driven pieces of writing. Since it's basically going to be a lot of talking between people, your characters need to be as believable as possible. In great plays, the inner tensions between characters enact themselves in external ways. In other words, the characters need to have problems that show up in their behaviour.  What does your character want? What is keeping your character from getting what they want? What stands in their way? Thinking of interesting jobs can be a good way of developing a character. What's the hardest job you can imagine? What's a job you've always been curious about? What kind of person becomes a podiatrist? How does one end up with such a job? Don't worry about the name or the physical description of your character. It doesn't tell you anything about a character named Rafe to know that he is 6'4 and has washboard abs and wears t-shirts some of the time. Stick to one notable and telling physical trait. Maybe your character has a scar on their eyebrow from being bitten by a dog, or maybe your character never wears skirts. This reveals something about them and gives them depth. The setting of the play is where and when the story takes place. Placing your character in a tense situation or location is an important way to create drama. Combining character and setting can also be a good way of developing your character, and figuring out what kind of story might result from their placement in that setting. If being a podiatrist is interesting to you, what about being a podiatrist in Paris, Texas? What kind of person becomes a podiatrist in Paris, Texas, for instance? How does one end up there?  Be as specific as possible when developing your setting. "The Modern Day" isn't as interesting as "Dr. Wilson's Family Podiatry, next to the The West Hillsboro Suburban Mall, just south of town, at 3:15 pm on Good Friday." The more specific you are, the more you'll give yourself to work with. Consider what other characters the setting may introduce. Who works the desk at the...

TL;DR in English: Start with characters. Consider the setting. Figure out the inner story. Match the inner story with an outer story. Understand the limitations of the stage. Read some drama and see some productions.

Always apply makeup on fresh, clean skin.  Use a mild soap or cleaner to avoid drying your skin out. Pat your skin dry. You may want to apply a makeup primer at this point to help all of your makeup adhere to your skin. The stick form of concealer is preferable as it applies the most evenly and hides blemishes well.  Use a liquid foundation and blend it well. Make sure your concealer and foundation are the right shade for your skin tone.  The wrong tone can make your skin look washed out, yellow or orange. Use a foundation brush to apply your foundation for the most even application and polished look. Use blush sparingly, as the Emo look focuses on the eyes and less on the colors of the skin and lips.  If you are going for a pale look then try not to use blush as the goal of Emo makeup is to accentuate the eyes. Keep the shade only slightly pinker than your skin tone. Apply in circles to the cheekbones. Avoid putting blush on contours or cheek hollows. Use a smokey eye effect.  Start by applying a matte slade shade of eyeshadow across the eyelid. Add a small touch of black eyeliner towards the outer 1/3 of the eyelid. Blend the darker eyeshadow to create a smokey effect. Since Emo make up is typically dark and heavy, make sure to get a lot of black makeup.  For eyeliner, get a black eyeliner pencil. Apply black eyeliner on the lash line. Extend the eyeliner a little bit on both sides of the eye and inner and outer corner to create a 2-way jacketed effect. Thicken the eyeliner. Go over the eyeliner again until you are satisfied with it. Make sure the eyeliner ends meet up at the corners of your eyes. On the outside, the effect should be somewhat catlike, with the line slanting upwards towards your temples. You can do this using a sponge applicator.   Define the edges of the eyeliner with a liquid eyeliner for a smooth effect. You can also add a coloured eyeliner here if you want to add some more vibrancy. Repeat the eyeliner application on your top lashes. Try to keep the eyeliner consistently smooth on both...

Alligator feeds in pellet form are preferred by many alligator farmers and eliminate keeping a stock of fresh-frozen meats (such as beef, chicken, deer, fish, and horse) on hand. You can also use a combination of feed and meat. Rates for the first year are 25 percent of body weight per week and are reduced to 18 percent by the third year. Overfeeding can cause gout in alligators, but is cured by a 7-to-10-day fast. Stressed alligators may develop brown spot disease, which leaves discolored spots on the hides and lessens their value.  Prevent overcrowding in the pens (alligators do not congregate in the wild except at breeding season) and minimize outside noise by insulating the building. Alligators should never be agitated just before, during, or after feeding.  You might coordinate the pen cleaning in the morning and the feeding in the afternoon to prevent stress.

TL;DR in English: Decide on your alligators' diets. Use proper feeding rates to ensure proper growth. Organize each pen to be stress-free. Schedule feeding and pen cleaning at different times.

There are many misconceptions about nudism, such as that naturists are always naked. According to the Young Naturists of America, naturism not only promotes nude recreation, but also broader social goals of non-sexualized acceptance of the body and combating bullying. Taking the time to learn more about the naturist movement can help you better understand—and accept—your significant other.  Speak to your doctor about dietary and exercise requirements, including any warning signs of bigger issues for which you should watch. Consult the wide array of sites about the naturist movement. In addition to the Young Naturists of America, the International Naturist Foundation and Irish Naturist Association offer general information about nudism.However, when consulting the internet, beware of sites that call themselves "nudist" or "naturist" but are really porn sites.  If you see a website that calls itself "nudist" or "naturist" but is actually pornography, do NOT be fooled into thinking that this is what nudism is about, and is what your partner must be doing.  Talk to a doctor or mental health professional about nudism if you are concerned there is something wrong with your date. The doctor can explain to you that the desire to be naked during times of recreation is entirely normal. How you receive the concept is ultimately up to you, though. Every individual has perspectives and opinions based on life experiences. Your truth is not the only or correct view. Recognizing that nudism is a legitimate life choice may help change your attitude towards it. Think about all of the other types of lifestyles that people have. Naturism promotes loving and accepting every individual in a non-judgmental manner. Keep in mind that your nudist is not harming anyone or anything and as long as he or she remains that way, the person’s life choices are valid. If you are having qualms about dating a nudist, talk to a close friend or loved one. This person may be able to help you focus on the positive traits of your nudist.  He or she...

TL;DR in English: Inform yourself about nudism. Acknowledge that nudism is a valid lifestyle. Share your feelings. Consider how your experiences shape your attitude.

Put a sticky address label on the top of the laptop, inside, under the keyboard, both parts of the power cord, CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/Floppy drives, and a USB drive. Purchase a luggage tag. Attach it to the carrying case and fill it out with your name. Make sure that no flap that covers your name. Attach something unique to the carrying case. This will help prevent someone else from mistaking your case for theirs. Dropping, jostling, or bumping may cause damage to its hard drive, sometimes permanent and irreparable.  Do not place drinks next to the computer. One accidental spill onto the keyboard will damage it, probably beyond repair. Use two hands to hold the laptop by the bottom (keyboard half). Do NOT hold a laptop by the screen. Do not store the laptop where very cold or very hot. Do not place the laptop close to any electrical appliance, because it generates a magnetic field. Your laptop will last much longer if it doesn't get damaged.  Don't attempt to twist the screen on its hinges, as this could crack the screen. Do NOT attempt to close the lid when a pencil or pen is left on the keyboard. This could crack the screen. Don't scratch or push on the screen. Don't slam the lid down. Purchase and use an appropriate laptop carry bag to buffer the laptop during transportation.  Correctly remove the wireless card (if applicable) before transporting. Always transport the laptop in a padded carry case, and avoid stacking items on the lid of the laptop. Clean the screen with a lint-free cloth. Avoid using window cleaner, such as Windex; the ammonia will dull the screen. Use a screen cleaner from a computer supply store. Think twice before adding stickers. Stickers leave a residue that can cause permanent damage or an unsightly mess.

TL;DR in English: Know where your laptop is at all times. Treat the laptop with care. Protect the screen and body of your laptop. Transport with care. Keep the laptop clean.

Don’t cut corners or try to take off early every chance that you get. Your team will notice your behavior and work ethic and will base their performance on yours. Set a good example by working as hard and as well as you want your team to work.  You don’t have to work every hour of the day, but you do need to work with integrity. Your team will notice if you aren’t passionate or if you don’t care about the job. If you see that someone on your team is struggling to complete a task, help them out and show them how it’s done. If you’re often late, take every opportunity to leave early, or if you’re really grumpy when someone needs to speak with you, your team will see that you’re not really interested in the work. Be there when you expect everyone else to be there and keep an open door if someone on your team needs to discuss something. Even if you’re tired or had a rough night, you need to give your team the attention and compassion they deserve. Your physical appearance says a lot about you and will show your team what you expect. If you wear dirty or inappropriate clothing to work, your team will think that you don’t care and may follow your lead. Wear clean and professional clothing to set a good example. Keep a change of clothes in your car or office in case you spill something or need to make a quick change. Ask the people on your team how they’re doing. Show concern for their well-being by letting them know that they can talk to you if they need to. Send a regular email or have a weekly meeting with each team member to check in on them and make them feel like you care about them.  People will work harder if they feel like their leader has their best interests at heart. Don’t delve into someone’s personal life unless they allow you. Talk to the people on your team directly, don’t ask others about them. Show the person that you’re interested in their point of view.

TL;DR in English: Work like you expect your team to work. Be present and approachable at work. Dress appropriately and take care in your appearance. Communicate with the individuals on your team.

Watch for muscle loss as your dog ages. Pay attention after trauma and other causes of lameness. Look for arthritis in large breeds. Watch for conditions that certain breeds are predisposed to.

Being a woman also involves maturing emotionally, psychologically, and behaviorally. Most importantly: you will have to learn how to be independent. This will involve learning new skills and habits that will pave a pathway toward success as an adult. There are a lot of things to learn. You might not be able to learn them all right away, but these life skills will allow you to carve your own path through the world without relying on anybody else. Consider purchasing or checking out of the library books that can help orient you to the world of womanhood. Pay attention to how-to guides to help you learn valuable skills. The internet, your friends, and trusted adult mentors are also great resources for learning the skills you will need to be an independent woman. Financial responsibility is important as you mature from a girl into a woman. Perhaps you are working in your first job, preparing to pay for college, or thinking about moving out of your parents' home. In all these cases you will have to learn important life skills such as:  Balancing your checkbook. Keeping careful track of your income and expenses. Paying your taxes in a timely way. Saving up for large purchases and to create a safety net. Learning when it makes sense to take on debt, and when it does not make sense. One way to become a more independent young woman is to figure out how to get from Point A to Point B without depending on your parents. Depending on how old you are and where you live, you might inquire about getting your driver's license or learning permit. Otherwise you can look into public transportation options so that you can travel freely to school, work, and other locations. Being able to keep your commitments, show up on time, take responsibility for your actions, and respond appropriately to criticism will all serve you well in your life as a woman, especially if you work in a career. Finding and keeping a job will allow you to learn how to be independent and will also give you some financial freedom as you mature into womanhood....

TL;DR in English: Tell yourself that being a woman is more than a physical thing. Research the skills you want to build. Manage your finances. Figure out transportation. Learn job skills. Take care of personal hygiene and your appearance. Take care of your living space. Learn how to feed yourself.

After pouring in the boiling water, the oatmeal will be scalding hot for several minutes. To avoid burning your mouth, hold off on taking a bite until most of the steam has dissipated. You’ll be glad you did once you get that first taste! A splash of cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt will help fresh-cooked oats cool off quicker.

TL;DR in English: Let the oatmeal cool prior to eating.

Treat your Social Security card with as much respect and care as your birth certificate, tax records, and other confidential documents. Unless you’re required to show it, keep the original card locked in a safe at home. If a professional entity requests the card, see if you can bring a photocopy instead to avoid losing the original. To defend against fires, floods, and other disasters, keep your card in a weatherproofed container. In most cases, entities requesting your SSN will not need the actual card, just the number. The safest way to relay the number is by committing it to memory, that way nobody can steal the original paperwork from your wallet, purse, or briefcase. To help you memorize your SSN, try reading it aloud or writing it down multiple times. Test yourself daily until you can recall it without a visual aid. When getting rid of confidential documents, make sure to run them through a cross-cut or confetti shredder. This is especially important for documents that list your Social Security number, like financial statements. For extra security, try burning your documents in a fireplace or pit. Some public and private organizations require your Social Security number to function properly. Most, however, have no use for it. Before giving your number to an organization, ask what they intend to use it for. When in doubt, only give your SSN to entities like your employer, the IRS, and banks. If an institution has a spot on their forms for your SSN, check to see if it’s required or optional. Many places, like doctor’s offices, collect the info but don’t actually need it. At some point, everyone gets targeted by e-mails or phone calls requesting private information. Unless you explicitly requested an e-mail or phone call from the person in question, do not give them your SSN or other identifying information. Never click on links or download attachments from phishing e-mails, as they often contain malicious software that will harm your computer or steal your information.  Look for signs that an e-mail is a...

TL;DR in English: Lock your Social Security card in a safe. Memorize your SSN so you don’t have to reference your card. Shred used documents that list your SSN. Ask why an organization needs your SSN before giving it to them. Look out for phishing e-mails and scam callers.

Meningitis frequently begins with flu-like symptoms, and may evolve from there to become more serious. Signs and symptoms to be on the lookout for include:  Fever Nausea and/or vomiting Severe headache Unusual sleepiness Decreased appetite A skin rash (this is most often a later stage symptom) Neck stiffness (this is most often a later stage symptom) Sensitivity to light called "photophobia" (this is most often a later stage symptom) Meningitis presents differently in newborns (and children under the age of two) than it does in older children and adults. Signs and symptoms to be aware of in babies include:  Fever Unusual sleepiness and/or irritability (such as constant crying) Swelling in the fontanel (the soft spot on the top of your baby's head) Poor feeding Neck stiffness One of the keys to successfully treating meningitis is to diagnose it quickly. This is because the faster that medical treatment can be received, the better, both in terms of preventing spread and reducing your risk of dying from it. It is important to seek immediate medical care if you or someone else exhibits any of the following:  Neck stiffness in addition to flu-like symptoms. Neck stiffness is one of the cardinal signs that often differentiates meningitis from a general flu-like illness; if you or someone else presents with this symptom, it is important to see a doctor immediately. Flu-like symptoms that seem more severe than normal. It is important to understand that bacterial meningitis can be very serious and even fatal if not treated immediately. If in doubt, seek a professional medical opinion sooner rather than later. Another important thing to note is that, if you have been in the presence of someone who has been diagnosed with meningitis, it is important for you to seek medical evaluation as well to make sure that you do not have it. This is especially important if the affected person was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis.

TL;DR in English: Recognize common signs and symptoms of meningitis. Know how meningitis presents in newborns. Seek immediate medical help when needed. Seek medical evaluation if you have been around someone with meningitis.

Dry vacuuming will not pick up dust mites from your carpets. Whenever possible, steam clean the carpets in your home. The heat from the steam will kill the dust mites, making steam cleaning a highly effective method. Steam clean your carpets and furniture at least 3 times per year. Making sure your house is as dust-free as possible will help you keep dust mite populations at bay. Dry mopping or cleaning with a dry rag will only stir up dust and other allergens. Instead use a wet mop or rag to remove dust from your home. Dust and mop your home at least once per week. Try using a vacuum that has a HEPA filter. You can also use a vacuum with a double-layered microfilter bag. These types of filters trap particles that might otherwise pass through a vacuum cleaner's exhaust. Vacuum your home weekly, or more often in high traffic areas. Once a week wash all of your bedding in water that is at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit or 55 degrees Celsius. The hot water will kill any dust mites that might be living on your bedding. If you have wool or feathered bedding that cannot be washed, replace it with synthetic items that are machine washable. Ascaricides are a type of chemical that is sometimes used to kill dust mites. Many experts, however, argue chemicals are not effective enough to justify the expense and hassle of using them.

TL;DR in English: Steam clean carpets and furniture. Remove dust with a damp mop or rag. Vacuum with a HEPA filter or double-layered microfilter bag. Wash your bedding weekly with hot water. Exercise caution with chemicals.

Not every older dog will have muscle loss, but many dogs will. Just like humans, dogs may become less active as they get older, due to a number of reasons, including having less energy and having more aches and pains. Not being as active can lead to muscle loss. To help with muscle loss, try to encourage your dog to be more active. If your dog experiences trauma, such as being hit by a car, it may develop lameness in part of its body. In turn, that can lead to muscle loss, as the dog is not as active or isn't using that particular muscle as much. Dogs can develop lameness from other sources, including infection, dislocation of the shoulder, and muscle or bone degeneration. Large breeds, such as German Shepherds and Labradors, are more likely to have joint problems, meaning they are more likely to develop arthritis. Arthritis can lead to muscle loss, since it can make your dog reluctant to move as much. For instance, Labrador retrievers are prone to type II muscle fiber deficiency, which they'll generally show before a year of age in muscle loss. German Shepherds, on the other hand, are more likely to develop fibrotic myopathy, which generally shows up the most in the dog's thigh muscles. Certain dogs, such as greyhounds, will develop exertional myopathy if they are forced to use their muscles too much.

TL;DR in English:


Disassemble your bike Remove any labels or decals from the bike frame. Wipe down the frame of the bike before you sand it. Sand the frame of the bike so the new coat of paint is able to stick. Wipe the bike down thoroughly and let it dry. Apply painter’s tape to the areas of the frame you don’t want to be painted.

In order to be a candidate for home birth, your baby must be between 37 and 41 weeks gestation. Any earlier than 37 weeks carries additional risks, and anytime later than 41 weeks is also higher risk as the health of the placenta and the nutrient supply begin to fade.  Your baby must also have had no health concerns or abnormalities during the course of the pregnancy. In order to qualify for a home birth, you are advised not to have multiples (that is, you are not pregnant with more than one baby at this time, as that carries a significantly higher risk of complications). Note that, in low-risk settings where the pregnancy and time-frame of the birth are normal, studies have shown that there is very little difference between a home birth and a hospital birth in terms of creating a safe and successful outcome for your baby. It is important that your baby be correctly positioned for labor and delivery. Delivery for a home birth needs to be head first, so if your baby is breech — with their feet first — this is an indication to proceed with the birth in a hospital setting. Prior to proceeding with a home birth, it is important to ensure that you yourself do not have health concerns such as diabetes, high blood pressure, a seizure disorder, or other chronic health concerns that may increase the risk of the birth for you and/or your baby. It is also important to rule out any pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia (which requires hospital care). Note that a home birth is not advised if you have previously had a C-section (if you have, a hospital setting is recommended).

TL;DR in English: Ensure that your pregnancy is proceeding normally as you approach the time for birth. Evaluate your baby's position prior to the birth. Consider your own health and wellbeing to see if you are a candidate for a home birth.

The sirloin is from the rear part of the beef, specifically the hip. Look for steaks that are marbled, where the white stripes of fat are interspersed evenly throughout the meat. Choose steaks with a light, bright red color, and pick steaks that are 1 inch (25.4 mm) to 1-1/2 inches (38.1 mm) thick. Ask the butcher to cut you a fresh steak if they all seem brown on the outside -- this means they have been sitting out in the air for too long. Many people swear that a grilled steak, with a little salt and pepper, is one of nature's finest meals. Sirloins, though not extra tender, pack a lot of flavor even without seasoning. The real flavor comes from the interaction between the meat and the heat source. They only need a light searing on the outside to taste flavorful and juicy. Depending on your grill, you may get very different flavors from your steak:   Propane: Gas grills impart little additional flavor on the meat. They are, however, easy to control and get hot the quickest. You can adjust the temperatures with a simple knob, allowing you to perfect the cooking process to your liking, and they usually have attached thermometers.  Charcoal: Briquettes light up relatively fast and get hot quickly. They impart the "classic" BBQ flavor, with a hint of smokiness, but are a bit trickier to get to the right temperature.  Wood-fire: Wood chips, like hickory or oak, give the best natural flavor to the meat. However, they are harder to maintain and light, so many people use a mixture of charcoal and wood to get the best of both worlds. If you are using charcoal and/or wood this might take 30-40 minutes, until the briquets are covered in gray ash, but propane grills only take a few minutes to get hot. Aim to have the inside of the grill around 375°F by leaving the cover on as it heats.The thinner the steak, the hotter you want the grill:   3/4-1 inch thick: 360-400°F You shouldn't be able to hold your hand over the grill longer than 4-5 seconds.  1-1 1/2 inch thick: 325-360°F You shouldn't be able to hold your hand...

TL;DR in English: Purchase the right sirloin steak. Know that the type of grill you use impacts the flavor of your steak. Pre-heat your grill to medium-high. Rub the steak with salt and pepper while the grill heats. Place your steak over direct heat on the grill. Cook each side of the steak over direct heat for 4-7 minutes, depending on desired doneness. Remove the steak from direct heat and let it cook indirectly if you want a well-done steak. Use the "hand test" to check for doneness.If you don't have a meat thermometer you can use your hands to check for doneness. Let the steak stand for 10 minutes at room temperature before eating.

Light-wash jeans often look more faded, worn, and as a result, casual compared to darker washes. If you’d like to wear your boots with outfits that give off a laid back vibe, go for a pair that’s made of a light wash denim. Since your boots will likely stand out, it’s best to keep the rest of your outfit relatively simple. Opt for light neutral, solid-colored shirts, shorts, skirts, and dresses when you wear your boots casually during the day. You can also pick light solid colors that go well with denim, such as pale yellow or lavender. When in doubt, stick with colors like white, cream, and tan. Consider wearing a solid-colored fitted baby blue sleeveless top with a pair of cut-off booty shorts and baggy denim thigh-high boots that have a thick heel. Most commonly, people where this particular outfit with their thigh-high boots. Opt for a graphic t-shirt that’s a few sizes too big. Wear this with tight-fitting shorts or a mini skirt that just barely peeks out from underneath the shirt. Try wearing light wash denim boots with a white t-shirt that has the name of your favorite band on it and a light wash denim mini skirt that has a frayed hem. While it used to be considered a fashion faux pas, double denim is now a popular trend. When going more casual, don’t be afraid to wear your boots with another piece of clothing, such as cut-off shorts or a button-up jacket, that’s made of denim.  This looks most stylish when then 2 denim pieces have a matching wash. When in doubt, try this with ankle boots to avoid including an overwhelming amount of denim in your outfit. Avoid wearing your boots with denim jeans, since this may make your boots and pants look connected. This is another way to incorporate denim into your outfit if you decide not to double down on the denim. Rock a thin denim choker or carry a clutch that’s made of denim to make your outfit feel laid back and also cohesive.

TL;DR in English: Get a light wash denim boot if your style is more casual. Pair your boots with light neutrals for a daytime look. Dress down your thigh-highs with an oversized t-shirt and short shorts. Rock the double denim look with your boots. Tie your relaxed outfit together with a denim accessory.

Most pre-packaged foods have unnatural chemical additives and preservatives, and often contain unhealthy saturated or trans fat. It is almost always better to eat food you prepare at home, where you can control the ingredients. Most pre-packaged foods are also higher in calories and fat, especially saturated trans fats. Dieticians recommend eating slowly, which helps you recognize when you are full. When you continue to eat after your hunger has been satisfied, you are ingesting a lot of calories that easily could have been avoided. Limit calories to 2,000 kcal/day. If you are trying to lose weight, try cutting down to 1,800 kcal/day. Never consume fewer than 1,200 kcal/day.  One serving of meat, fish, or poultry should be about 3 ounces, when cooked, or about the same size as the palm of your hand.  A serving of cooked pasta should be about half a cup, or roughly the size of a scoop of ice cream. One serving of grains is equal to one slice of bread. One pancake or one waffle equals one serving, which should be about the same size as a typical slice of bread. One cubed serving of cheese is roughly the same size as your entire thumb. One serving of vegetables or fruit is about the size of your fist. A healthy serving size of cooked rice is about enough to fill a standard cupcake wrapper. Try to make half of your plate consist of vegetables. Restaurants often serve food in unusually large portions. Sharing one entree between two people is a good way to ensure proper portion size and save money as well. Although it is not imperative to eliminate meat from your diet entirely, reducing the amount you eat will have a positive effect on your health. Many meats are high in calories and contain a large percentage of fat. Red meats especially have been linked to clogged arteries, higher cholesterol, and heart problems. Oatmeal, brown rice, and whole-wheat bread contain fiber, which is essential to a healthy digestive tract. Whole grains also contain B vitamins, which boost energy and metabolism. Nuts and seeds contain...

TL;DR in English: Limit packaged foods. Watch those portion sizes. Share an entree. Eat less meat. Eat more whole grains. Snack on nuts, seeds, and legumes.

When writing a letter of complaint, your best chance of success will come from directing the letter to the customer service department of the company. The customer service department is accustomed to dealing with complaints and your letter is likely to be processed efficiently and effectively.  Try to find out the name of the customer service manager or director and address your letter to them personally. Begin your letter with Dear Mr, Mrs, Miss or Ms followed by their surname. If you cannot find the name of the customer service manager, simply write Dear Sir or Madam.  You should be able to find the address of the customer service department on the company's website, on any of the company's promotional or advertising materials or product packaging or labels. The very first line of your letter should clearly address why you are writing the letter and what your exact complaint is. Give as many pertinent facts as possible, including the date, time and location where you made the purchase or received the service, along with any relevant serial or model numbers.  The recipient of the letter should be able to identify the point of the letter in under five seconds, so avoid any long, rambling intros.  You may provide further detail or explanation of the situation in the paragraph following your opening sentence, but the first line should draw attention to your complaint as succinctly as possible.  For example, your opening sentence might read: "I am writing to complain about a faulty hair dryer that I purchased from your company on the 15th of July at your location on First Street, Exampletown." If you want a replacement, a refund, a repair, or some other form of compensation, state this clearly in your second paragraph. This will help to avoid receiving a form letter or other stock response, and give the recipient something to work with on their end.  Try to be as constructive as possible in your comments, suggesting a way that you can move forward and continue your relationship with the company. If you demand a...

until you’re left with just the frame. Remove both wheels, the left and right cranks, the bottom bracket, the front and rear derailleurs, the chain, the brakes, the handlebars, the seat, and the front forks. If you have any attachments on your bike, like a water bottle holder, take the screws off from those too. Put the screws and tiny parts from the bike in labeled plastic baggies so it’s easier to reassemble it later. You might have a hard time taking them off if they’re old and really stuck on there. If they won’t peel off, use a blow dryer or heat gun to warm them up. The adhesive on the labels will loosen when it’s warmed, making it easier to remove the labels from the frame. If you’re having trouble peeling a label off with your fingers, use a putty knife to lift the edges of the label up off the frame. If there’s any glue residue left over from the decals, spray a product like WD-40 on the frame and wipe off the residue with a cloth. If the frame has a thick or glossy paint on it, use a low-grit (rough) sandpaper to remove a lot of the old paint. If the frame has a matte paint on it or it’s completely bare, use a high-grit (fine) sandpaper. Use a cloth with soapy water. There are a few parts of the frame that should be left paint-free:  The posts for the brakes. Any bearing surfaces. Any threads on the bike where something will need to be screwed in when you reassemble it.

Leave for 4 minutes, then turn over and toast the other side for 4 minutes. Or, heat for as long as it takes to be browned on both sides.  Place the squares on each bread half. Leave about 1/2 inch (1.2cm) at the edge free of chocolate as it will melt into this area. Bake for 1 to 2 minutes or until the chocolate starts melting. It should have a glossy texture. Sprinkle a few small drops of olive oil onto each slice and season with a pinch of salt for each slice. If you don't like the thought of oil and salt on the chocolate, skip; however, it does bring out a great flavor, which is why this is a popular method. Enjoy with a hot chocolate and some fresh berries in a side bowl.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Place the crusty bread slices on a baking sheet. Place in the oven to toast. Cut the slices in half. Break the chocolate into squares. Put the chocolate covered bread back into the oven. Remove from the oven. Serve immediately.

This can help you hone and understand your abilities as a medium. Try to meditate for around thirty minutes each day.  Choose a quiet spot to be a dedicated area for your meditation. Light a candle to focus on while you meditate. After your meditation, write down the strongest impressions, feelings, or images that came to you during that time. Look back on those notes at a later to date to see if a pattern emerges and to see if you can interpret a meaning from them. These may be messages from the spirit world. The more you meditate, the more you will be able to sharpen your focus. Your vision relates to your ability to see the past, present, and future. Even if you are highly intuitive, you’ll need to work to cultivate your vision to see truly.  Keep a journal. While meditation helps cultivate your understanding of the present, writing down your thoughts and days in a journal can help to stretch your memory, and in time, will help you see whether you can see past lives other than your own. Purify your thoughts. You can’t be a receptive vessel as a medium if your mind is clouded with negativity. Work to counter your negative recurring thoughts and focus on the positives. You will want to know if your friends have any insight into how you act when you’re unaware. This will give you an idea of your abilities and how you come across to others.  Often, mediums may give out deep advice that they don’t remember giving as soon as it’s left them. Write down what your friends tell you, so you can look back on it and connect it to other visions or feelings. Doubt is one of the many inhibiting factors people face as they are trying to understand whether they are a medium and learn how to enhance their ability.  Allow yourself to explore the possibility of your ability. Listen to your gut feelings. Spend time reading books about subjects like psychometry, numerology, scrying, tarot reading, and healing. This knowledge will help you to better connect to your own interpretive abilities and understand the symbols that you...

TL;DR in English: Take time to meditate each day. Cultivate your vision. Ask your friends what you say to them. Listen to your intuition. Build up your spiritual knowledge base. Spend time with other mediums.

This introduction should present the scope of your research, while it also establishes the need for your research.  It should expand upon the abstract’s summary.  The introduction should include any context or background information that the reader needs in order to understand your research. Writing the introduction after the rest of the content can sometimes be a good way of ensuring the introduction covers everything. The literature review should be beneficial to both the layman and the expert.  It should cover the literature related to your concept, link literature similar to your own, and demonstrate the issues related to your chosen research.  If your research improves upon or clarifies a specific flaw in previous research, be sure to highlight the importance of your original content. The literature review should also pinpoint wherever previous research conflicts. A dissertation should be written because there is a knowledge gap of some kind in the industry.  Explain how your dissertation fills the gap, and why the information is even needed.  The dissertation should prove to be original.  Given their respective experience, your advisors should be able to provide considerable guidance on the dissertation topic choice, and how to prevent a certain degree of redundancy. Consider if your dissertation really interests you.  The work will take a considerable amount of time and losing interest will make research difficult.

Aerobic  exercise in particular is a known stress-reliever because it releases special chemicals that improve your mood. Try to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day. Many people with anxiety enjoy calming exercises like yoga or stretching. However, you can also try a soothing hike through nature, a swim in the nearby pool, or a run through the park. Sleep is the time when your body (and brain) heals and repairs itself. Start winding down earlier to ensure you get at least 7 hours each night. Create a relaxing nighttime routine, including activities like taking a warm bath or shower, lighting a scented candle, listening to music, or light reading. Food acts as fuel for the brain and the body, which means making healthy dietary choices can improve your anxiety symptoms. Avoid eating simple carbohydrates like sugary or processed foods. Eat nutrient-rich meals every few hours to help control anxiety.   Relieve anxiety with foods high in magnesium, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and probiotics. These nutrients are found in foods like spinach, beans, nuts and seeds, fatty fish, eggs, asparagus, avocado, yogurt, and sauerkraut. Certain substances can actually worsen your anxiety. To effectively deal with severe anxiety, stop consuming caffeine and alcohol. You should also  cut out smoking.

TL;DR in English: Do 30 minutes of aerobic exercises daily. Get 7 to 9 hours of rest each night. Avoid processed or junk foods. Stop consuming caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol.

A good way to approach this is to not let it be a big, terrifying ordeal. Remember that, even if your parents don't agree yet, marijuana is completely legal in some states, has never caused an overdose, and is non-addictive. It doesn't have to be a big deal. So keep the conversation light from the opening lines onward to prevent them from thinking they should be worried:  "I wanted to talk to you guys about something before you find out, and I know that I can trust you to listen." "This isn't a big deal, but I wanted to let you guys know that I smoke marijuana occasionally." "I know you guys trust me to make good decisions, and I just wanted to talk to you a bit about my decision to smoke marijuana. Did you know that the National Cancer Society promotes the fact that marijuana kills cancer cells? Marijuana has been used to successfully treat insomnia, glaucoma, chronic pain, slow Alzheimer's, reduce and control seizures, and increase creativity. Like most plants in the world, marijuana has surprising medical benefits we are only now discovering. Because marijuana research is relatively new, new studies are coming out all of the time. Google "marijuana studies" every now and then to get more concrete evidence for your discussion if needed. Marijuana has been maligned for years not because it is dangerous, but because it is misunderstood. However, new studies are showing that marijuana has very few negative side-effects, and no long-term health issues arise from chronic usage other than a slight disposition towards gum disease. Be ready with these facts, and the articles to back them up to head off any worries of "health effects." There are almost no known cases of marijuana attributed deaths in the world and has no known effect on mortality rates. If you take marijuana purely for recreational enjoyment, then it may seem more difficult to convince your parents that weed is okay. But, when compared to other "acceptable" leisure-time substances, like alcohol and tobacco, marijuana is far safer. It is also...

TL;DR in English:


Be honest. Take the opposing side of an argument at first. Flatter the person in moderation. Compliment the person in conversations with other people. Ask the person about his or her achievements. Include someone in a group outing.

When you buy your paint, make sure you pick up paint stirrers with it. Dip the stirrer into the paint and move it through until the color and consistency are as even as possible. Apply the paint in even strokes until each panel has an even coat of paint. Make sure to apply more paint to your brush periodically, so your strokes are spreading the paint in roughly equal amounts. Flat areas can be finished more quickly than recessed areas because you can simply roll the paint on. Pour some paint into a painting tray, and then move your roller through the paint. Roll the paint on evenly and apply more paint to it as needed. It will usually take about 2 hours for paint to completely dry on a door. Place a small area of a rag against the paint to test whether or not it’s still wet. Check the area you painted last, as that will also finish drying last. Make sure it’s completely dry before moving on. Don’t worry if your door doesn’t look as great as you’d hoped yet. The second coat is often what really makes it stand out. Put on your second coat in the same way you did your first, being careful to apply the paint as evenly as possible. Your knocker, handle, and lockset can now go back on. Take off any blue painter’s tape that you applied to the door. Once your second coat is dry, you’ll be ready to reattach your door and admire your handiwork. If you find that your new color isn’t working out as well as you thought it would, you can always put on a different color by following the same process. Otherwise, enjoy the new look of your front door!

TL;DR in English: Stir paint before applying. Use a brush on depressed panels and edges. Use a paint roller for flat areas. Let the paint dry. Apply a second coat for a better finish. Replace all the things you removed from the door. Reattach door and enjoy your new color.

A flowing, patterned maxi dress is a popular choice for women to stay cool and look stylish in the summer. Try a floral print, polka dots, or stripes in your favorite bright colors to look cute at any dressy or casual event.  Keep this look casual by choosing a cotton dress with a bold pattern and wearing flat sandals or canvas sneakers with your dress. You can make this outfit dressier by choosing a dress that’s made from silkier materials and is in a solid color. Add heeled sandals or ballet flats and some jewelry to finish off the look. Aim to find a polo with sleeves that fall halfway to three-quarters down your bicep and aren’t baggy or tight. Your sleeve seam should fall right at the edge of your shoulder, and the body of the shirt should be slim against you but not tight.  Wear an untucked polo with cargo or denim shorts for a cute casual summer look. To dress up your polo, wear it with dress pants or a skirt and loafers or dressy sandals. A colorful romper is a perfect choice for women to look cute in hot weather because there are no buttons or zippers rubbing against your sweaty skin.

Look for striped or plaid patterns in short-sleeved linen shirts to stay cool in the summer. Wear them untucked with a pair of cargo or denim shorts to wear to any casual summer event. Dress these shirts up by pairing them with a pair of thin twill dress pants and wear them on a date or to a business event. Babydoll dresses are short with either spaghetti straps or short sleeves and are made of thin fabric with an empire waistband. Their lightness makes them a perfect summer choice, and they look cute worn over a lacy bralette and sandals, flats, or heels. These dresses can be either dressy or casual; wear them with heels and jewelry for a dressy occasion, or a pair of flat sandals or canvas sneakers for a more casual event. Men can find fitted flat-front shorts with inseams...

TL;DR in English: Try a loose printed maxi dress for a comfortable style. Find polo shirts that fit well. Choose a romper for any casual occasion. Try fitted button-down linen shirts as a classy choice. Pick a babydoll dress as an extra feminine choice. Buy fitted shorts to wear anywhere. Try an off-the-shoulder blouse instead of a tank top.

You are recovering from surgery, so you might find that the hospital wants to keep you for 2 or 3 days. This extended time is for a number of reasons:  Intravenous pain management. Most C-sections are performed under local anesthesia. After the procedure is over, you may be given a pump that lets you manage the flow of IV pain medication. Monitored movement. Your doctor will want you to get up and moving as soon as possible. While this can be difficult, it can speed your recovery, regulate digestion, and ward off blood clots. Care for the surgery site. Your doctor will want to make sure that your incision does not become infected. Neither the incision itself nor the medications you are taking for pain management should interfere with breastfeeding. If you want to pursue this method, feel free to do so as soon as you are able.  In fact, pain medication can actually make breastfeeding easier. Pain makes it more difficult to release oxytocin, which is necessary for milk production. Hospital staff can help you find a position in which you can breastfeed while still supporting yourself. Just as you spent a bit longer in the hospital than someone with a vaginal birth might, your at-home recovery will take a little longer, too—at least 12 weeks. Observing these guidelines will make your recovery easier in the long run:  Don’t overdo it physically. At first, this means that you will want to get up as little as possible. Try to keep everything you need close enough that you can reach it. At the very least, restrict your movements to 1 floor--you should avoid stairs as much as possible in the first few weeks. Don’t do any heavy lifting. In the first few weeks, this means anything heavier than your baby. Try not to lift anything from a squatting position. Use extra pillows or a pregnancy belt to support the surgery site. Drink water. This will ease digestion and help replace lost fluids. Take pain medication if you need it. Wait until your doctor says it’s OK before having sex. Your healthcare providers will help you...

TL;DR in English: Be prepared for a longer hospital stay. Don’t be afraid to breastfeed. Continue practicing proper self-care after returning home. Monitor your health.

Often times, we think negatively about ourselves or situations because we have forgotten or overlooked all of the positivity in our lives.  Take a few moments to write two separate lists, one of personal strengths and one of accomplishments.  You will often find that there are far more things to celebrate in your life than there are things to mourn. When you begin to think negatively, review this list. or do yoga.  Meditation and yoga are great ways to destress your mind and find peace in life.  Yoga is also a way to incorporate positivity into your life while exercising.  Develop some mantras to reflect on while meditating or doing yoga. These mantras can include things like “I am powerful and I am positive.” There is a saying that goes “you are the sum of the five people that you spend the most time with.”  Remember that your friends have a great amount of influence on you, whether you acknowledge it or not.  If you surround yourself with negative people, you will continue to have a negative mindset.  Seek out and develop friendships with people who are happy and positive. In addition to having a list of personal accomplishments and strengths, you should also write out a list of the things that you are grateful for.  This will help you remain positive during difficult or frustrating times. Consider adding things like your family, friends or job. One powerful way to combat negative thinking is to replace these thoughts with positive ones.  Work to develop some replacement thoughts that you can think and reflect on when you begin feeling anxious or sad.  You can use your list of accomplishments, strengths, as well as the things you are grateful for to help you think positively. You might say things like “I am a hard worker” when you begin to think of yourself in negative ways.

TL;DR in English: Write down your strengths and accomplishments. Meditate Surround yourself with positive people. Write down the things you are grateful for. Develop positive affirmations.

Although honesty applies to a lot more than merely sucking up, sincerity will increase the chances of your success. The most important factor in whether or not a compliment is received well is the sincerity with which it's given. If you're trying to lie through your teeth as a way to get into someone's good books, chances are high the deceit will be noticed. Be only as bold with a compliment as you mean it. Moderate compliments often feel more impactful because they're more grounded in the real world. Instead of saying "You're the best looking person on the planet", for example, you could say "I think you take really good care of your appearance." If you want the other person to respect your opinions, it helps to take the opposing view occasionally. If the two of you debate something, you can eventually shift your view to align with the other person's. This will give the impression that he or she has succeeded as a persuader, and he or she will associate positive feelings with you.  This works in work and family situations alike. The payoff of this technique will flatter the person's persuasive skills, while simultaneously proving you're not afraid to stand by something. A transition from your original stance to the other person's should feel natural. When you change your mind, you can say something like this: "You know, you make a really good argument about this. I never thought about it that way before, and now I see why you held that view all along." Compliments are helpful, but they'll quickly grow tiresome if you're throwing them at the person in question. Even if someone may feel flattered that you care so much about his opinion, it's much better to emphasize the quality over quantity in your flattery. That way, he or she won't be desensitized to your positive opinions of him. Don't say compliments without planning them out first. If you're consciously trying to suck up to someone, this might manifest itself as a needless quantity of compliment. You can usually count on people to spread information....

TL;DR in English:


Decide upon the solution together, if possible. Listen closely Take a break if one or both parties are too stressed to handle the conversation.

Grieving is an unpleasant but important part of getting past the thoughts of someone you've lost. In fact, most counselors stress the importance of healthy grieving, which allows you to "free up" difficult emotions and feelings you have invested in this person. Give yourself time to think, to pine, and, if necessary, to cry. This is a normal reaction to losing someone. Be prepared to not be feeling your best for a while. You may want to avoid difficult social or career commitments for a short time. There's no set deadline for getting over someone you cared about. As a general rule, the longer you knew someone and the closer you were to this person, the more time you'll need to spend grieving. However, you shouldn't put any arbitrary expectations on yourself. Take as long as you need to mourn; no more, no less. You'll know you're ready to start moving on the first time you forget to be unhappy. You do not have to go through a difficult loss alone. Trusted friends and members of your family will usually be more than willing to talk to you about the way you feel. If you're comfortable with the idea, try sitting down with these people and mentioning that you've been having painful thoughts about the person you lost lately. This conversation is easier for some people to have than others, but if you can manage to talk about such a sensitive topic, you may find it to be a huge relief. Don't be afraid to talk to a professional if you don't want to talk to your friends and family or you think you need more help. Therapists and counselors aren't just for "clinical" mental health issues; they're great for when ordinary, healthy people are suffering too. In fact, in 2004, over a quarter of American adults had gotten some sort of mental health treatment within the past two years. Can't seem to say exactly why you're thinking about someone so much? Try writing. Keeping a journal is a common tactic used by counselors and therapists to unpack the complicated emotions that come with losing someone. The open-ended structure of...

TL;DR in English: Give yourself a chance to let it out. Talk to people close to you about this person. Express your thoughts in writing. Remind yourself that you want to eventually feel happy. Keep active, but don't use activities to hide from unpleasant thoughts. Don't play the "what if" game.

Like a muscle in your body, you will need to work on problem solving if you want to improve its strength and functioning over time. In other words, you will need to “exercise” regularly. Studies show that things like brain games can make you more mentally limber. There are any number of games or activities you can try.  Word games work great.  In a game like “Split Words,” for example, you have to match word fragments to form words under a given theme like “philosophy.” In the game, “Tower of Babel,” you will need to memorize and then match words in a foreign language to the proper picture.  Mathematical games will also put your problem solving to the test. Whether it be number or word problems, you will have to activate the parts of your brain that analyze information. For instance: “James is half as old now as he will be when he is 60 years older than he was six years before he was half as old as he is now.  How old will James be when his age is twice what it was 10 years after he was half his current age?” Video games have been portrayed as “intellectually lazy” for a long time. However, new research shows that playing video games can improve parts of thinking like spatial perception, reasoning, and memory. Not all games are created equal, however. While first-person shooter games can improve your spatial reasoning, they are not as effective as others at developing problem solving skills. Play something that will force you to think strategically or analytically. Try a puzzle game like Tetris. Or, perhaps you would rather prefer a role-playing or strategy game. In that case, something like “Civilization” or “Sim-City” might suit you better. A hobby is another way that you can continue to improve your problem solving skills. Pick something that either involves active problem solving or activates appropriate parts of your brain. For example, start to learn a foreign language. Language functions in both hemispheres of the brain, so learning one will activate areas that control analysis as well as reasoning and...

TL;DR in English: Do regular mental exercise. Play video games. Take up a hobby.

At the time you file for divorce, either you or your spouse must have been living in Texas for the preceding six-month period. This does not mean you have to have been married in Texas, but only that you or your spouse has resided in Texas for the required period of time.  You can still file for divorce in Texas if one of the spouses lives out of state. The requirement only states that one of the spouses has lived in Texas for the required six months. If neither you or your spouse has lived in Texas for the required six months, you will be required to get a divorce elsewhere, or wait to get divorced in Texas until you meet the residency requirements. In Texas there are seven valid grounds for getting a divorce. If you decide to get a divorce in Texas, you will have to claim one of these reasons for doing so. Each individual reason is discussed below. Insupportability is the only valid ground for divorce that does not place blame on you or your spouse for the divorce.   Insupportability. This is the only ground for divorce where no fault is placed on you or your spouse. By claiming this reason, you are saying there are differences in the marriage that simply cannot be overcome.   Cruelty. This exists when you are being treated cruelly and it has gotten to the point that it is no longer feasible to live together given the situation. Examples of cruelty include physical attacks, constant displays of rage, publicly flaunting another relationship, and staying away from the house often without explanation.   Adultery. Adultery occurs when your spouse cheats on you.   Conviction of a felony. When your spouse has committed a felony and they have been in prison for one year or more (and have not been pardoned), that constitutes a conviction and becomes a valid ground for divorce. However, this is not a valid ground for divorce if your testimony is what caused your spouse to be convicted of the felony.   Abandonment. When your spouse has left you for a period of a year or longer and has no intention of coming back,...

TL;DR in English: Meet the residency requirement. Have valid grounds for a divorce. Find out what county you need to file your petition in.

Remove burnt clothing so it does not cover the burn area. Do not pull any clothing off of the burn if it is stuck. Remove any rings, bracelets, earrings, or necklaces that are close to the burn area or restricting blood flow to the area. Make sure the water is not ice cold or hot, as this can damage the skin further. Try not to touch, pinch, or scrub the burn, as you do not want to disturb the skin. After the burn has been rinsed, examine it closely. If the burn is 3 inches (7.6 cm) in diameter or smaller and it appears a bit red or swollen, you can treat it at home. If the burn is large, blistering, and the skin appears leathery or waxen, the burn is severe and should be treated by a doctor. If the burn is severe, you can wash and cover the burn temporarily until you get to a doctor.

TL;DR in English: Take off burnt clothing and restricting jewelry. Place the burn under cool running water for 10-20 minutes. Confirm the burn is not severe.

Thinking of skipping breakfast? Don’t do it. Your body needs the salt and sugar to keep you standing up. In fact, if you keep your blood pressure and glucose levels stable, barring any other outlying physical condition, syncope (fainting) is hopefully completely avoidable. To keep your body working normally, all you may have to do is eat (and drink) regularly. That said, some people do suffer from postprandial hypotension, which can lead to fainting. That’s a fancy word for your blood pressure dropping after you eat too much. Your blood starts congregating in and around your stomach, leaving none for your heart and brain – the perfect recipe for a fainting spell. If this sounds familiar, it might help to eat frequent, low-carbohydrate meals. Eat regularly, but don’t eat too much at one time. Another reason some people experience fainting spells is because they’re overly fatigued. It could be because you’re not sleeping enough or you exercise too much – both states can affect your blood pressure and get your body off-kilter. If you’re exercising too much, you may not be getting enough liquids either (you’re sweating them all out). Make doubly sure you drink plenty if this describes you. Between dehydration and overexertion, you could be asking for trouble. Some people have triggers when it comes to fainting, and it doesn’t take fainting too many times to figure out what that trigger is. If you know what causes you stress and makes you anxious, avoiding it may be all you have to do. Needles, blood, and even more personal topics can bring about the urge to faint. The heart starts pumping profusely, you start sweating, your breathing changes, and all of a sudden you’re down for the count. Can you think of any possible triggers for the way you’re feeling? Heat is another culprit when it comes to fainting. It can dehydrate your body, shut down your systems, and spell disaster for vertical consciousness. If you’re in a stuffy, overheated, or crowded room, you may just have to leave. The fresh air will awaken your...

TL;DR in English: Eat regularly. Avoid excess fatigue. Keep your stress and anxiety to a minimum. Stay in comfortable, cool environments. Avoid alcohol. Don’t lock your knees.

When you do something together, you want it to be because you both voluntarily consent to it, as a way of fulfilling your own genuine needs and desires, not out of guilt or pressure. Sometimes you can find an action that meets both your needs, and sometimes you just have to amiably go your separate ways.  If you're not ready to ask in this spirit, maybe you need more time, or more empathy. Or perhaps your instincts are telling you that this person does not care about your feelings. Reflect on what is stopping you. to what the other person says. Don't assume that you know how they feel or what is best for them. Instead, let them express their thoughts and feelings. Validate their feelings, slow down to ensure they feel heard, and make it clear that you care.  If you spend too much time labeling their needs, they might feel like you are trying to play therapist instead of actually hearing what they have to say. Put the focus on what they are telling you, not on what you have decided they "actually" mean. If you're getting too upset to speak thoughtfully and clearly, the other person is unwilling to talk openly, or either one of you wants to end the conversation, stop. You can have it at a better time, when both parties are willing and able.  If conversations consistently end badly with someone, take a close look at the situation, because there may be a deeper problem.
