You’ll have to go a locality where you can fish for Alligator gar, for starters. That means packing up and heading south to the lower Mississippi river and the Gulf of Mexico.  Places in Louisiana like the Henderson Swamp and Lake Pontchartrain near New Orleans have Gator gar. In Texas, try the Colorado, Trinity, Guadeloupe, Sabine, or other large rivers or Lake Livingston. Alligator gar spawn in the spring, around April, but the best time to look for them is in the summer in July or August or whenever is hottest.  Concentrate on slack water or sloughs. Gator gar like to hang out in slow waters and especially like to congregate in deep holes near shallower water, where they can surface to feed. Keep your eyes open for large river bends that naturally create deep holes surrounded by sandbars. Alternately, you might try an oxbow lake. These are lakes that were once bends in a large river but silted over, became cut off from the main stream, and are slack water except for during floods. Alligator gars are extremely large and will need very heavy gear. Growing up to 200 pounds or more, with sharp teeth, you’ll need to be well prepared and to have a clear plan for what to do when (or if) you hook one.  Most people use a large circle hook attached to a steel leader as a rig – this is because the fish is generally pretty hard to hook. Some people use a treble hook, however. You’ll want to have a stiff composite rod with pretty robust-strength test line. A typical strength is anywhere from 30 to 100 pounds and a reel capable of spinning out 150 to 200 yards. Bait up with a small fish like a whole, descaled mullet. Other people will use live bait like shiners, scad, carp, or perch. Cast into the deeper areas, as this is where a gator gar will most likely find your bait. Gar like to swim away once they have taken the bait, so allow it to take a bit of line before setting your hook.  Don’t set the hook too early. Otherwise, you will hook the fish in a poor place or dislodge the hook entirely.  Wait for about seven...

TL;DR in English: Head south. Look for prime habitat. Bring heavy duty gear. Work the deep pools. Exhaust the fish.

Part your hair down the middle, as though you are going to braid it. Next, divide each section in half, just above the ear. Wrap a hair tie around each section to keep it in place. You can also use a claw clip instead. Take a strand that is about 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) wide, and apply the dye. Start from the ends of your hair, and work your way up to the roots. You can apply the dye using your fingers, or a tint brush, which you can find in a beauty shop. You can dye as many or as few inch-wide sections as you want. Once you have all the hair you want dyed and covered with foil, move onto the next section. Do the bottom right section first, then the top left and top right sections. The longer you leave the dye in your hair, the stronger the color will be. Do not use any shampoo or conditioner. If you use shampoo, you may end up washing all that dye out. If you decide to use a towel, it might be a good idea to use an old on, in case some of the dye transfers onto it.

TL;DR in English: Make your hair easier to work with by dividing it into four sections. Undo the bottom left section and start applying the dye. Wrap a sheet of tin foil around each strand before moving onto the next one. Repeat the process for the other three sections. Leave the foil and dye in your hair for at least one hour. Rinse your hair with lukewarm water. Dry your hair using a hairdryer or a towel.

Be bold and come out with your request.  Even if they’ve had it a long time, just assume they have intended to return it, and say, "I’d like to get my copy of X-Men back when we meet next."  With that direct approach, embarrassment or common courtesy will likely cause them to return your item. By inquiring about the item you’ll be less confrontational.  It suggests uncertainty, and allows your friend to be confident in their reply, as if they were the one who decided to return the item.  Try a few of the following approaches:   "Are you done with my copy of Twilight?  I’d like to have it back when you’re done." ”Hey, I’m looking for my hat, do you still have it?” ”Would you mind giving the video game back to me?” A message allows you to be direct without having to confront your friend.  It’s easily less personal.  There is possible misinterpretation, so be careful with your wording.  Facebook allows you a great way to send a message.  Send a private message with just enough information to let your friend know you’d like the item back. Shoot your friend a quick email.  Nothing extravagant is needed.  Just ask for your item back. Text your friend.  Ask for the item and include their favorite emoticon to make it less harsh. Whenever you talk to your friend, bring it up.  No matter the conversation, steer everything back to the loaned item.  Your friend will quickly get the hint.

TL;DR in English: Be forward about asking for it back. Ask a question about it. Send a message regarding the item. Constantly bring it up.

Honey is an effective way to suppress a cough and soothe a sore throat. If you can, add ginger powder for quick relief. Several studies have found that honey is at least as effective at reducing cough than over-the-counter drugs, and is sometimes more effective. Honey helps coat and soothe mucous membranes. It can be very helpful right before going to bed if the cough is making it hard to sleep.  It's good for adults and children, but do not give honey to children under the age of 1 since it could increase the risk of infant botulism.  You can take the honey directly. Try 1 tablespoon every few hours while your cough persists. Another option is to add 1 tablespoon or more to a glass of warm tea with lemon. Some studies suggest that honey is as effective as a cough suppressant as dextromethorphan, an ingredient commonly used in many over-the-counter cough suppressants. Licorice root tea soothes your airways, helps ease inflammation, and loosens mucus. To make it, place 2 tablespoons of dried licorice root in a mug and pour 8 ounces of boiling water into the mug. Steep for 10-15 minutes. Drink twice daily.  Don't drink licorice root tea if you are on steroids or have kidney problems. The active ingredient, Glycyrrhiza, can cause negative side effects for some people, especially those with high blood pressure. Look for DGL, or deglycyrrhizinated licorice, at your health food or drug store. It is just as effective. Thyme is used in some countries, like Germany, for a variety of respiratory ailments. Thyme helps relax throat muscles and reduce inflammation. Boil water and place the water and 2 teaspoons of crushed thyme in a cup for 10 minutes. Strain before drinking.  Add honey and lemon for extra soothing properties. It may also help make the taste more pleasant. Do not use thyme oil internally. Use dried or fresh thyme. If you do not have any cough drops on hand or would prefer to stay away from medicated lozenges, you can usually soothe and stop a cough by sucking on a piece of hard candy.  A dry cough that...

TL;DR in English: Use honey. Drink licorice root tea. Try thyme tea. Enjoy a piece of hard candy. Try turmeric. Dissolve peppermint and ginger in lemon juice. Try essential oils. Make a bourbon-based cough syrup. Try a traditional Korean folk remedy. Gargle salt water. Try apple cider vinegar.

The pain and other symptoms of spondylosis, whether acute or chronic, can be treated with home methods. Generally, the pain caused by spondylosis frequently improves after a few days. One good way to treat the pain is to use over-the-counter pain relievers.  Examples of OTC meds that help with this condition include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin (Bayer, Ecotrin), ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), and naproxen (Aleve).  Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is another medicine that may also be helpful as a pain reliever. Acetaminophen is a safer option for individuals with a history of asthma, high blood pressure, liver disease, heart disease, or stomach ulcers. Topical pain relievers can complement or be used an alternative to oral pain relievers. They can be administered in multiple ways, such as in creams, foams, gels, roll-ons, sprays, and sticks.  The most common ingredients found in this class of medication are:  Counterirritants. Examples of counterirritants include camphor, menthol, and methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen). They work by creating a cooling or burning sensation that distracts an individual’s mind away from the pain. Popular brands include Bengay, IcyHot, and Tiger Balm. Capsaicin. Capsaicin is obtained from chili peppers and has been found to be very effective for topical pain relief. It causes a tingling or burning sensation upon the skin and may take several days before it actually relieves pain. Popular brands include Capzasin and Zostrix. Salicylates. Salicylates give aspirin its pain relieving qualities. They may be absorbed into the skin for local pain relief. A popular brand of topical salicylate is Aspercreme. There are several varieties of prescription-strength pain medications that your doctor may give you to treat the pain associated with this condition when non-prescription drugs are no longer sufficient. Your doctor may prescribe prescription-strength NSAIDs that will reduce any inflammation associated with spondylosis. Popular prescription NSAIDs include...

TL;DR in English: Try over-the-counter pain relievers. Use a topical pain reliever. Get a prescription medication. Try muscle relaxants. Talk to your doctor about a narcotic pain medicine. Ask about anti-seizure or antidepressant medications. Get an epidural steroid injection. Determine if you need surgery. Talk to your doctor about spinal decompression surgery.

This is a combination you can never go wrong with. The best part about it is that you can wear it pretty much anywhere: meeting up with friends, going to a concert, hanging out in a park, or almost anything else you can think of. The best thing about a one- or two-tone look is that it will never go out of style. Match black jeans with black sneakers, or white jeans with white sneakers. Mix it up and wear black jeans with white sneakers, or white jeans with black sneakers. Try to play around with shades, such as dark and light grays and tans for a modern take on the classic look.  For example, you could wear dark gray jeans with black sneakers or light gray jeans with white sneakers. If you want a more bold take on this classic outfit, try matching colored jeans with sneakers of the same color or a similar hue! If you want to go for a breezy, vintage vibe, this is one of the easiest ways to do it! Choose jeans that are more form fitting through the waist and thighs and then open up at the calf, and throw on a pair of classic low-top, canvas sneakers. To complete this look, add a vintage or oversized graphic tee and tuck it into the jeans, or wear a simple, flowy top! For the jeans, go with a solid color, like light or dark blue, white, or black. Then pair them with a pair of vibrantly-colored sneakers, or a pair that has a bold pattern. Break out those cool shoes that you’ve been looking for an excuse to wear! These jeans have a little more room through the leg and don’t taper as much, which means they won’t clash with high-top sneakers. You can choose to wear the pants so they cover the top of the shoe, or cuff them to show that part off. Either way, you'll look great! Cuffing your jeans helps create a modern silhouette and can bring attention to a cool pair of sneakers. Beyond that, cuffing also helps if you need shorter jeans but don't have time to head to a tailor. Make a first cuff that is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long, and then repeat this for a second one. When cuffing, you should aim to have your jeans...

You may want to keep ducks as pets, for meat, for egg production or as an organic way of controlling pests in the garden. There are four main types of duck: domestic, dabbling, diving and sea ducks. Domestic ducks are the type most people choose for their needs. All breeds of domestic duck are descended from the common Mallard duck except the Muscovy duck. Non-domestic ducks, or “Wildfowl”, spend a long time on the water and will need their wings pinioned when they are very young or else they will fly off. They require a large pond or lake and are unlikely to tame. All of these breeds are visually appealing and make good pets.  Call ducks are named for the noises they make so be careful of getting a call duck if you do not want to upset your neighbors. They are small and gray or white, and many people choose them for their smallness of size but they are good fliers and will need their wings clipped every so often. Cayuga ducks have beautiful iridescent green plumage and are very quiet, but can be hard to find. Pekin ducks are large and white and one of the most popular breeds of ducks. They are calm and have a relaxed temperament. Rouen ducks have the same coloring as mallard ducks (green neck and head and iridescent areas on the body) and are very calm and sociable. Muscovy ducks are very quiet and have been bred in many different colors. They are descendants of tree birds and thus might need their wings clipped periodically to keep them from flying away. You will want to choose a breed that matures quickly, produces tasty meat and are heavier. Many people prefer ducks with a white plumage because it is easier to get a clean looking carcass.  Pekin ducks are one of the most popular ducks for meat production because they are ready to butcher at 7 weeks, high meat-yielding and have a white plumage. At 7 weeks you can expect a 6lb bird, they are much bigger at 12 weeks (9lbs) but the feather become very hard to remove. They also lay a decent number of eggs in the year (varies according to location- in the UK...

TL;DR in English: Decide why you want to breed ducks. Consider call, cayuga, pekin, rouen or muscovy ducks if you want a pet. Consider Pekin, Muscovy, Rouen or Aylesbury ducks for meat production. Consider Khaki Campbell or Indian Runner ducks for egg production. Consider Indian Runner, Khaki Campbell, or call ducks to biologically control pests. Make sure your ducks can access water. Feed ducks appropriately. Lock up ducks at night. Keep ducks enclosed in the garden.

You can write out the entire sermon or simply settle for an outlined version, but either way, you should prepare a written plan that you can use when you're actually preaching.  Having a prepared text will usually keep you more centered when you actually start preaching. Unless you're remarkably fluent in the subject matter, impromptu preaching tends to be more disorganized and less insightful. You can write the entire sermon word-for-word, use shortened notes, or use an outline. Outlines are generally preferred since they make it easier to look out into the congregation as you preach and limit the temptation to stare at your notes the entire time. Some passages may seem self-explanatory, but oftentimes, those passages make more sense within a broader context. Include any scriptural or historical information needed to really bring the text into focus.  Think back to the research you did while trying to understand the passage. Information that granted you new understanding should be included in your sermon.   Don't get too carried away, of course. You still need to focus your sermon on the Word itself. Supporting details should be used to increase the listener's understanding of the passage and should not steal the show. You need to illustrate how the text applies to real life in the contemporary world. Give your listeners information they feel can be useful to them as they navigate through the trials and temptations of the everyday.  Start with the end in mind. As you organize your sermon, think about what your listeners need to learn from it and structure the flow of the sermon so that it builds up to that. Directly relate the message to some real-life scenario, and try to choose a fairly common scenario that will appeal to as many different people as possible. By illustrating one possible application of the message, you can help your listeners understand how to apply the message to their own lives.  In applying the message, you should also end up challenging the listener. Your sermon should give your...

Letting people know your boundaries and feelings while at the same time allowing them space to talk, discuss, and open up about their feelings is important. Ask follow-up questions during conversations and use affirmations such as nodding, gestures, and agreements.  Look directly at the person who is speaking. You needn't stare at him or her, but you should try to maintain eye contact for about 70% of the time you are listening. This helps communicate to the speaker that you're interested and paying attention.  It can be easy to slip into thinking about what we will say in response to someone else's statement before the other person's even done talking. For example, if a friend is telling you about her awful day, you might begin to think about how you will tell her about your terrible day while she is still talking. Doing so means you are not focusing on the other person. If you're having a hard time concentrating on what the other person is saying to you, try mentally repeating or summarizing what they're saying to you. This will force you to pay more attention. When it is your turn to speak, try asking questions or using phrases to clarify what you heard. For example, if you have been listening to your partner explain something you did that frustrated him or her, you should clarify what you heard: "What I heard you say is _____. Is that right?" This helps keep you from jumping to conclusions or misinterpreting. and modest. Assertiveness and humility make a fine combination. An assertive person doesn't need to shout "Me, me, me, look what I did!" from the rooftops. It is perfectly healthy to accept praise for a job well done or remind others that you made a contribution, as long as this doesn’t become boastful or focused on belittling others to prop yourself up.  Showing humility doesn't mean that you are being weak or demeaning yourself. Celebrate your successes and congratulate yourself when you have done something well. Just don't put down others to lift yourself up.  For example, if someone tells you...

TL;DR in English: Be an active listener. Be humble Use “I” statements. Avoid using “should” or “ought. Use an even, relaxed tone of voice. Invite others to share their thoughts and experiences. Avoid blaming others. Distinguish between fact and opinion. Be willing to explore options. Make statements clearly and sincerely. Use assertive body language.

Bikini-area hair tends to be a little coarser than other body hair, so it might be difficult to take it off with the type of razor that comes 10 to a pack. Instead, pick out a high-quality razor designed for use on sensitive skin. Use a razor with new, sharp blades, since using a dull razor can cause chafing and ingrown hairs.  A men's razor is better to shave your bikini area. They are usually sturdier and have more than one blade, unlike women's razors. They remove hair easily while taking good care of sensitive skin. (You can usually distinguish the two types by color. Men's razors are usually white. Women's razors are usually pink or pastel-colored.) Avoid using a razor that has just one blade, unless it is a very sharp safety razor. Razors with just one blade have a tough time removing hair in the bikini area. Look for one with three or four blades so you will get a closer cut. A brand-new razor that has never been used before will be sharper than a used one. If you have to use a lower quality disposable razor, using a brand new one every time you shave the bikini line will yield best results. You can always use the used razor for armpits and legs. The type of cream or soap you use does not really matter, as long as you use something. Pick your preference: body wash, shaving cream, or even hair conditioner all work equally well. Soaps and creams that contain fragrances can sometimes be irritating to sensitive skin.  Test the product on another, less sensitive part of your body before you use it in your bikini area. Take a look at yourself in the mirror and determine where you want the cutoff to be. The bikini line is a little different on every woman, but in most cases you will remove any hair that would be exposed if you were wearing bikini bottoms. That includes hair on your upper thighs, around the groin and below the belly button.  For a simple shaving guideline, bring a pair of your underwear into the shower. Wear them while shaving. Anything peeking up below the seams should be removed. (Note: this...

TL;DR in English: Use a sharp razor. Choose soap or shaving cream. Decide how much hair to remove. Trim the hair to 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm). Take a nice hot shower or bath.

The two beefsteak tomatoes need to be roasted for 20 to 25 minutes in an oven heated to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius). Once cooled, the skin should be peeled off.  The tomatoes should weigh about 1 lb (450 g) combined. Preheat an oven or toaster oven to 500 degrees degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius). Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil. As the oven heats, prepare the tomatoes by cutting an "x" through the skin at the bottom of each one. This incision will make it easier to peel away the skin later on. Place the tomatoes on the baking sheet, and place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the tomatoes until they are well-charred and tender. This should take about 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool. The skin should already be peeling away at the "x" incision you made earlier. Once the tomatoes are cool to the touch, pull off the skin by peeling it away at the "x" mark. Throw the skin out. The chiles should be seeded and toasted in a large skillet over medium-low heat until fragrant.  The chiles should be about 5 to 6 inches (13 to 15 cm) each. Wipe them clean with a moist paper towel before proceeding. Use a sharp kitchen knife or a pair of kitchen scissors to cut the chiles open lengthwise, from end to end. Dig out the seeds and any large ribs. Heat a heavy skillet or griddle over medium-low heat without oil. Place the chiles on the skillet cut-side-down. Press them down and flip them over with a heat-resistant spatula until they become just barely darkened and fragrant. This should take about 1 minute per chile, and you should work in batches of 1 or 2 chiles at a time. Cover the toasted chiles with cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes.  Use a medium-size bowl. The chiles should soak until they are softened. Add the garlic and onion to the heated skillet or griddle in batches. Toast each one until they are golden-brown with a few blackened spots.  You need about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of peeled garlic. You can add up to twice as much if you prefer a...

TL;DR in English: Roast the tomatoes. Toast the chiles. Soak the chiles. Toast the garlic and onion. Puree the sauce ingredients. Heat the puree. Stir in the remaining ingredients and finish cooking.

For many people, migraines and the subsequent symptoms—including nausea—are triggered by sources that they can control or reduce their exposure to. Keep track of what you were doing shortly before your migraine came on over the course of several attacks, and see if you can find a consistent trigger. Common ones include:  Emotional or physical fatigue due to stress or exertion Abrupt changes in weather Altitude Motion such as from travel Poor sleep Missing meals Certain smells Hormonal changes, such as in menstruating women Specific foods and beverages, including aged cheese, chocolate, red wines, coffee, beer, etc. (also, certain food additives such as monosodium glutamate and nitrates) Your doctor will be able to provide prescriptions to a wide selection of different medications that have shown efficacy in managing nausea and other migraine symptoms. These medications often require trial and error to discover which combination works best to control your symptoms.  If you are vomiting at least three times a day, you need to see your doctor. Vomiting too much will predispose you to fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Be sure to see your doctor if you develop a worsening headache. A bleeding blood vessel might be causing the problem. Visit your doctor if your migraine headache is accompanied by fever, stiff neck, seizures, double vision, numbness, difficulty in speaking, and other unusual manifestations. Triptans are some of the most common prescription drugs used to treat migraines. They constrict blood vessels and block pain pathways to your brain to alleviate various symptoms of migraines. They are available in various forms—such as pills, nasal sprays, and injections—and the medications include:  Sumatriptan (Imitrex) Rizatriptan (Maxalt) Almotriptan (Axert) Naratriptan (Amerge) Zolmitriptan (Zomig) Frovatriptan (Frova) Eletriptan (Relpax) To deal directly with the nausea from your migraines, you can also ask your doctor about anti-nausea medications. He or she will likely prescribe one in combination with a...

Assemble your glass pieces into their final design position. Leave a very thin gap (about 1⁄16 inch (1.6 mm)) between the pieces so the solder will be able to flow into the seam. You can assemble the glass on any hard, heat-resistant surface, but metal work tables are best. This will melt to form the bond between the two pieces of glass. Since most solder contains lead, it's best to wear gloves to prevent accidental poisoning. This can be reversed if you are left-handed. Choose whichever is more comfortable for you. Be very careful picking up the soldering iron--the tip can easily cause serious burns. It might be tempting to lie the solder down on the seams between two pieces of glass and use the iron directly on them, but don't do it. Keep the solder at least 1⁄2 inch (13 mm) above the foil.The best results are achieved by letting the melted solder drop into the seam between the pieces of glass. It will immediately begin to melt the solder and the solder will drop into the seam. Be very careful--the soldering iron is extremely hot.  Don't worry if solder falls onto the glass. It won't stick. If your solder beads up too much, simply run the tip of the soldering iron through it gently. Keep your hands in the same position--one holding the solder, the other holding the soldering iron up to it. Move your hands along the seams of the glass while the solder drips down onto it. Move quickly enough so that the melted solder does not bunch up in one area, but slow enough so that the entire seam gets coated with the bead of solder. You should see a continuous line of solder along the intersection of the two pieces of glass. The glass is now strongly and permanently bonded together. Solder the rest of the glass, moving in the same direction to prevent dripping. It's okay if it's not perfectly even the first time. The more times you practice this process, the more comfortable you will feel and the cleaner your soldering lines will look.

TL;DR in English: Position your glass pieces for soldering. Unroll about 4 inches (100 mm) of solder from the coil. Hold the coil of solder in your left hand and the soldering iron in your right hand. Place the tip of the unrolled solder above the copper foil. Touch the tip of the soldering iron to the tip of the unrolled solder. Move both hands along the seam. Remove the tip of the soldering iron when you reach the end of the seam. Repeat until all the glass is soldered.

Look through the viewfinder and focus on your intended subject. If you are taking a photo of a person, have the person hold the meter up to his or her chin. This pulls the light reading from the exact spot you want in correct exposure. The sensor is the white dome-shaped area of the meter. It is often on a swiveling or rotating head. Point it straight at the lens of the camera for the best results. This will measure the amount of light falling on the subject. If you're using your flash to capture your subject, and you've set your light meter to flash mode, you'll need to hit the measure button while the camera is flashing. The meter will evaluate the degree of light from the flash and determine the correct aperture and shutter speed for the subject. After hitting the measure button, most light meters will allow you to then scroll through the combinations of shutter speeds and apertures that are appropriate for the amount of light measured. The meter supplied you with aperture and shutter speed readings for correct exposure of the photograph based on the light at the location of the subject. Go to the settings in your camera and input the numbers provided by your light meter into your camera. Adjust the numbers from the light meter to achieve alternative image results. Input a higher aperture (a lower f-stop number) for an image that reveals more light. A lower aperture (a higher f number) will darken the image. You can also alter the shutter speed, which allows more light in with a slower speed and increases potential blurring of any moving things in the scene.

TL;DR in English: Hold the camera up to your eye. Place the light meter out in front of you or have a friend hold it at the distance of the subject of the photo. Aim the sensor of the light meter at the camera. Press the measure button on the light sensor. Fire the flash on the camera. Find the camera settings that the light meter reads out. Select the appropriate settings on the camera.

If you're making soft pretzels, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. For hard pretzels, you need only heat it to 350 degrees. Mix the 8 cups of water and the baking soda in a shallow pan. Bring the water to a boil and then turn the heat off. Soft pretzels should be placed in the oven for about 12 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Hard pretzels are cooked for 50 minutes at a lower temperature. Check on them every 15 minutes to make sure they aren't burning. Place them on a cooling rack or a clean plate. Let them cool for about 10 minutes or until they're no longer piping hot to the touch. Serve with mustard or cheese sauce, or enjoy plain.

TL;DR in English:


Think about what you want to sing about. Choose your style. Create lyrics that rhyme most of the time.

How you breathe has a direct effect on the way your voice is projected. Taking shallow breaths uses only the air in your lungs, which causes you to run out of air quicker than you want. This makes the muscles in your throat tense up, which puts strain on your voice and prevents it from carrying to your audience. Instead, you should be taking deep breaths using your diaphragm. In order to breathe for projection, you need to be standing totally erect, without slouching in order to let the most air in as you breathe. The only thing that should be moving is your stomach as you inhale and exhale. If your shoulders and chest rise when you inhale, you are breathing using only your lungs, which prevents proper projection. As you inhale, place your hand on your belly, feel it expand. You want to make sure your chest doesn't move as you inhale, this indicates that you're not breathing with your diaphragm. You should feel as though your entire abdominal cavity is filling up with air as you inhale. Taking deep breaths requires proper use of your diaphragm. To project your speaking voice, you're going to need to be able to breathe deeper and take more breaths. There are several ways to practice breathing skills.  Yawn to open your chest and larynx. Big yawns help us open up our chest to facilitate a deep breath. Stretch your torso while you do it, and make big vowel sounds as you expel the breath to practice projecting as you speak. Laugh. There's a reason a good laugh is referred to as a “gut buster.” Laughing is a function performed by diaphragm, and is a fun way to practice the deep breaths necessary to project your voice. Laugh heartily, using big open vowel sounds as you expel your breath. Alternatively, laugh with your mouth closed. This makes it harder to use only the breath in your chest so you learn to utilize the diaphragm instead. Count or say whole sentences in a single breath. The higher the number you reach or the longer the sentence, the more you will need to use your diaphragm to support it. Being in shape...

TL;DR in English: Avoid shallow breaths. Keep good breathing posture. Breathe from your belly. Learn different breathing techniques. Exercise regularly.

Vinegar is a mild way you can cleanse your scalp. Start by washing your hair like usual. After you have rinsed out the shampoo, pour a vinegar and water solution onto your scalp. Let the vinegar stay on your scalp for about five minutes. Rinse with cold water. To make the solution, mix one part vinegar with two parts water. Apple cider vinegar can help improve the health of your scalp. It can kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi that lead to dry scalp and dandruff. It can also help remove buildup and cleanse your scalp. Mix ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar with a cup of water. Place it into a spray bottle and spray the mixture over your hair and scalp. Then, massage the mixture into your scalp and leave for three to five minutes. Rinse with warm water and then shampoo as normal. Witch hazel is an astringent that can help remove buildup and residue on your scalp. You can soak a cotton ball in witch hazel and wipe it around your scalp, or you can make a witch hazel rinse with one part witch hazel and two parts water. Leave the rinse on for a few minutes, and then shampoo your hair. When choosing a witch hazel brand, choose one that is alcohol-free. If you have a lot of buildup on your scalp, you may need something a bit stronger. Mix castile soap with a tablespoon of baking soda. Take this mixture and massage it on your scalp. Let it sit for around five minutes. Rinse the mixture with warm water, and follow that with a cold water rinse.

TL;DR in English: Use vinegar. Try apple cider vinegar. Consider witch hazel. Make a castile soap and baking soda mixture.

Don't wear any type of balm or cosmetics on your lips. Either brush your teeth first or gargle with mouthwash before you play your bassoon. Otherwise, food and bacteria residue can build up on your reeds and affect how they play. Keep your instrument at a 45 degree angle across your body. Holding it straight up can interfere with fingering and playing the lower register. Embouchure refers to the placement of your mouth, lips and tongue when playing an instrument. Place the reed in your mouth. Cover your teeth with your lips, keeping your lips relaxed. Don't bite down on the reed or flatten out your lips. Imagine that there is a drawstring in your lips, and someone is pulling the string towards the back of your mouth, forming a cushion over the reed with your lips.  Your upper lip should almost touch the first wire. Keep your chin muscles stretched downward and your cheeks smooth.  Practice in front of a mirror to make sure your embouchure is correct. Use the tip of your tongue for articulating; for example, accent and staccato. Think of the way you would move your mouth to say the word “dough.” If you are playing very fast, there is a special method for that called “double tonguing.” Repeatedly make the noises of the letters “d” and “g” in succession inside your mouth, up against the reed. Breathe in with your diaphragm and out with your abdominal muscles. To better grasp this technique, try relaxed breathing by lying on your back on the floor (without your bassoon). This is a simple way to observe how you properly breathe with straight posture. Consult a fingering chart and keep it nearby for reference while you are still learning. The whisper key is your left thumb's home base. Don't rest your right thumb on the bassoon. If you want to play sheet music, you'll need to learn music notations. You can learn how to read music and play the bassoon simultaneously by taking lessons. Practice fast and slow air flow. This will help you to observe how air stream affects pitch. Blow into the bocal slowly. Then...

TL;DR in English: Make sure your mouth is clean. Position the bassoon. Practice embouchure. Place your tongue properly. Breathe comfortably. Learn fingering. Try different air techniques.

You can cut a circle out of a ¾ in thick piece of plywood or you can also purchase a plywood round at most home improvement stores. You will need a three-foot (90cm) round with a thickness of 3/4-inch to 1 inch (2cm to 2.5cm) is ideal. The round should be big enough to develop some momentum, and still small enough to carry around.  If you decide to make the round yourself, then draw a line from one corner of the plywood to the other. Then, draw a line between the other two corners. The central “X” that these two lines create can serve as your center point for cutting out your wheel.  You can cut out your wheel using a straight bit with end cutters that you attach to the center of your plywood. Make sure that you go slowly as you cut out the round. After you have created or purchased your round of plywood, sand it well to ensure that there are no rough edges on the side you will be painting or on the outer edges of the wheel. You can either use a power sander or sand the wheel by hand.  When sanding wood, it is best to start with a coarser grit and then move up to a finer grit to get rid of minor imperfections.

TL;DR in English: Create or purchase a plywood round. Sand the round.

The first part of the tanning process is always scraping off all bits of flesh and fat from the skin. It helps to place the hide on either a fleshing beam or a garbage bag or tarp on the ground. Scrape all pieces of flesh and fat off the hide with a fleshing tool. Wash it down with clean water to remove the dirt, blood and bits of flesh. You can use some castile soap or another type of soap made from natural substances to help loosen the grit. Attach the hide to a drying rack and set it out for a few days to let it dry before you begin soaking it in tanning fluids.  Drying racks can be purchased at game shops. These wooden structures are useful for holding the hide in place while it dries. The hide should be stretched across the drying rack, rather than simply hung up. Otherwise the edges will curl. Use a rounded steel blade with a handle or a traditional elk antler hide scraper to scrape the hide from the skin against the grain. This helps the tanning solution absorb more thoroughly into the hide. Take care not to tear the skin where it is thinner in the belly area. Place the deer's brain and a cup of water in a saucepan. Cook the mixture until the brain breaks down and turns to liquid. The mixture should resemble a soup. Blend it so that it's completely smooth and lump-free. First wash the hide with water once more, to remove any last bits of hair or debris and make the hide more malleable. Squeeze it out between two towels to extract the excess moisture. Now pour some of the brain mixture on the hide and rub it in with your hands. Rub an even amount of the mixture over the entire hide, covering every inch.  You can use gloves to apply the tanning mixture if you'd prefer not to use your bare hands. When you're finished applying the tanning solution, roll up the hide and place it in a large food storage bag or freezer bag. Put it in the refrigerator for 24 hours to give the brains time to soak in. To keep the hide from getting too stiff, it's necessary to soften it by working it and pulling at the edges....

TL;DR in English: Flesh the hide. Rinse the hide. Let the hide dry out. Remove the hair. Make the tanning solution. Tan the hide. Soften the hide. Smoke the hide.

Punk music can be about almost anything: a relationship that’s soured, politics, your feelings towards something in general, or just something completely random. If you write a song about your feelings towards something, make sure it stays “punk” and not ‘emo’. Emo is short for emotive punk rock, and is actually an offshoot of punk. We're trying to write punk here, not an offshoot of punk. Make your lyrics match they style of punk you are playing (but remember that  within all these styles there are variants).  Hardcore should be shouted with just a couple phrases repeated, about politics or something relevant. Psychobilly/horror-punk should be about B movies or killing. 77 punk or post punk can be about love or pretty much anything. Most punk songs use rhyme a lot. If you can't come up with a perfect rhyme (as in: seedy / needy / greedy), try using imperfect rhymes. There are two main types:  The vowel sounds of the words are the same (e.g. subtle/bubble) The consonant sounds are the same (e.g. middle/muddle) To make words rhyme, you can also try using an alternate pronunciation. To make “more” and “sure”rhyme, for example, you could pronounce “sure” as “shore”.

TL;DR in English:


Use the library analogy. Take your client and his or her website into consideration. Compare your client's website to a book. Compare finding a website to finding a book. Compare your client's website to a missing book. Compare links to good book reviews.

There's a reason "heat of the moment" is such a popular phrase. When we argue with people, there tends to be a lack of thoughtfulness and overall awareness going on, both of ourselves and the other person. Mindfulness can help you stay centered in your experience and non-judgmentally aware of the situation. This will help you gain clarity and freedom to choose how you respond.  Acknowledge your thoughts and emotional state. View thoughts from the perspective of an interested observer, without "buying into" them. Name your emotions without judging them. A single word description can be useful to get a handle on them. If you feel yourself getting worked up over what the person is saying, pay attention to the sensation of your breath flowing through your nostrils.  For example, if you start to feel yourself get irritated while the person is talking, take a moment to say "I'm feeling irritated" silently to yourself. This will help you stay in touch with your feelings. Emotionally distance yourself from the moment by putting it into perspective. For instance, you’ve probably had to deal with criticism in the past and were able to work through feelings of hurt. You could also remember that in the grand scheme of things, this one criticism is a very short experience from which you can grow. Deep breathing stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system in your body, which is in charge of restfulness. Taking a few deep breaths, inhaling so that your stomach expands while your chest stays in place, is a quick and easy way to calm yourself using basic biology. You can do this right before you receive criticism in order to prepare yourself, such as a performance evaluation with your boss. You can also use this while you are receiving criticism, such as being disciplined by a parent, in order to help you deal with it more effectively and less defensively. If you're able to get away from the argument for a little while, which is advisable, take that time to get your body moving. Aerobic exercise like jogging will provide...

TL;DR in English: Be mindful to avoid brash reactions. Practice deep breathing. Engage in mild exercise. Listen to music. Practice loving-kindness. Accept that you feel hurt.

If someone you're chatting with starts to talk about sex or sexual topics, you should stop talking to them. This includes them talking about or describing sexual acts. In addition, you should be very suspicious of anyone who asks you to talk about sexual acts or requests you to engage in them offline. Cease communications with anyone who requests a picture of you naked or engaging in a sexual act. Although it might seem normal for someone to ask you questions about yourself, you should be suspicious of people who ask you personal questions. Some questions include:  What you look like, including your physical characteristics like the color of your hair and skin, your weight, and height. What your family situation or living situation is like. If anyone asks whether you are alone, live alone, or are frequently on your on, you should be suspicious. Public chat rooms – where there are many people chatting – are often safer than private chatrooms. If someone asks you to join them in a private chatroom, you should view this with suspicion.

TL;DR in English: Watch for people who make sexually suggestive comments. Be suspicious of people who ask personal questions. Stay in public chatrooms.

Different bat compositions and materials have different uses and advantages. It’s important to know what kind of bat is appropriate for the game the girl will be playing. Wood bats are generally heavier than other types on the market. They may be most appropriate for slowpitch softball and for professional games and tournaments. Some leagues mandate the use of wood bats for safety reasons, since balls hit with wood bats are less likely to attain speeds that can result in serious injury to defensive players and pitchers. Alloy bats (made from aluminum or other types of metal) are light and relatively inexpensive. They also have the advantage of being ready to use right away – i.e., they do not have to be broken in. They also tend to last longer than other types of bats. However, they have a smaller “sweet spot” than other types of bats, meaning that there is a more restricted area of the barrel for creating a good hit. Composite bats are made out of a synthetic, fibrous material. These bats tend to be more well-balanced than other types, and are better at absorbing vibrations from hits. However, they tend to be more expensive than alloy bats, and have to be broken in.  Hybrid bats combine features of alloy and composite bats. A hybrid bat offers the comfort of a shock-absorbing composite handle along with the lower cost of an alloy barrel. Be aware of the potential safety risks to other team members posed by composite bats. The higher ball speeds achieved by composite bats have the potential to cause serious injury to pitchers and defensive players. As the names suggest, one-piece bats are made of a single piece of material, while two-piece bats consist of a separate barrel and handle, sometimes made from two different materials, that have been assembled together. Once piece bats tend to be stiffer and better balanced, while two-piece bats are more flexible and better at absorbing shocks and vibrations. You should choose based on the girl’s playing style and personal preference. Have the girl test out both...

TL;DR in English: Consult your coach about the right type of bat to buy. Buy a wood bat for practice, tournaments, or professional games. Choose an alloy bat for lightness, durability, and affordability. Choose a composite or hybrid bat for good balance and high performance. Decide between a one-piece or a two-piece bat. Keep your budget in mind.

Homemade lens cleaner won't damage the coating on your lenses like some other cleaning agents might, but you can count on it to cut through the clouds and smudges on your glasses. This is also a cheap alternative to ready-made eyeglass cleaner in the event that you ran out or weren't given any at your previous visit to the eye doctor. To make your own lens cleaner, you will need:  Dish soap Isopropyl alcohol (or witch hazel) Measuring cup Microfiber cloth Small spray bottle Water You should clean your spray bottle and measuring cup before mixing your glass cleaning solution. This is because any dirt or dust left behind in these can contaminate your homemade lens cleaner. This is especially important if you are using a general purpose spray bottle that might have previously contained other household cleaners. Now that your measuring cup and spray bottle are clean, you should measure your water and isopropyl alcohol in a 1-to-1 ratio and add each to your spray bottle. Swirl your bottle gently to mix the solution. For example, you may want to combine 1 ounce of water with 1 ounce of isopropyl alcohol in your spray bottle. For this recipe, you will only need a very small amount of dish soap to give your lens cleaner some added smudge-fighting action. Put one drop of dish soap into your mixed solution of water and isopropyl alcohol. Cap your bottle and swirl its contents gently to infuse the solution with soap. Spray a moderate amount of your lens cleaner onto each lens. Now you can take your clean microfiber cloth and wipe away all the gunk that has accumulated on your glasses. If you don't have a microfiber cloth intended for glasses, clean cotton should do the job.

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Prepare your supplies. Mix the liquids of your cleaner in equal parts. Add your dish soap. Apply your cleaner and wipe away the clouds.

Many people eat 3 meals a day plus a snack or two.  If you're trying to gain weight, it is important to eat more food, more frequently. Aim for 5–6 meals daily or 3–4 meals with 2 snacks.  Each meal doesn't need to be large.  With more frequent meals you may feel more full throughout the day.  Snack-sized meals are appropriate (like a small pack of peanut butter crackers or two hard boiled eggs). You may need to rethink or plan out your day so you have enough time to consume 5–6 meals daily.  For example, you may need to eat right when you wake up so you're not too full before your next meal. When you're trying to gain weight it's important to maximize the amount of calories you can consume with each meal and snack.  Calorie-dense foods are items that are high in calories per serving.  Consume these foods with each meal and snack.  Calorie dense foods to incorporate into your diet include:  nuts and nut butters, avocados, full-fat dairy products (cheese, yogurt and milk), butter and oil, and eggs.  Also use full-fat condiments like regular mayonnaise, full-fat cream cheese or full-fat salad dressings. Not all high-fat foods are healthy or appropriate to eat more frequently or in larger quantities.  Minimize these foods: fast food, deep fried foods, candy, and high-fat processed meats (bologna or hot dogs). If you're eating multiple times throughout the day, you may feel more full.  This may lead to smaller meals instead of several large meals.  Even when meals/snacks are small, if they are calorie dense, they can help induce weight  gain. In addition to eating more calorie dense foods, you can also increase calories in your favorite meals and recipes.  Adding extra foods or using higher calorie ingredients in your recipes is an easy way to bulk up your total calories. The more of a caloric punch you can add to meals, the more calories you'll consume over a given day and week.  In recipes, use full-fat dairy products or dried milk in soups, stews or casseroles calling for water. Drizzle extra olive oil or add...

TL;DR in English: Eat more meals and snacks. Eat healthy foods that are calorie-dense. Add extra calories to meals and recipes. Drink your calories. Eat your favorite foods. Avoid unhealthy sources of fat.

A great way to help illustrate a certain concept is to use analogies. One popular analogy to explain SEO is the library analogy. Most people are familiar with how libraries work; children and teenagers often have to use libraries to obtain sources and information for their school projects and reports. Using your client and his or her website in your library analogy might help your client make the connections. It will also help keep him or her engaged. Compare your client's website to a book on a familiar subject, preferably one that has something to do with his or her website. Try to use a variation of the website's name as the title, and a variation of your client's name as the author. For example:  If your client's name is Bob McBob, and Bob's Window Cleaning is the name of his website, use Window Cleaning by Bob Windowman as your fictional book. Window cleaning is something that your client can relate to, which will help keep him engaged. While you are at it, compare your client's competitors' websites to other books in the library on the same topic. So Wendy's Windows could become a book called Wonderfully Clean Windows by Wendy Wonders. The two ways someone can find your client's website is by either typing the URL into the address bar directly, or by typing in keywords into the search bar of a reputable search engine. Similarly, the two ways someone can find a book in a library is by either finding the book on the shelf, or by typing keywords into the library's computer. For example:  Bob McBob specializes in cleaning windows on multistory buildings. To find his website, someone could go to a reputable search engine, and type in words such as "window cleaning" and "multistory" and the city or suburb that Bob McBob has his business in.  Window Cleaning by Bob Windowman happens to have an entire chapter on cleaning windows on multistory buildings. Someone could find his book by going to the library computer and search the catalog using the terms "window cleaning" and "multistory" or "skyscrapers." If a...

Avoid skipping meals because it triggers a bad mood. Eat more omega-3 fatty acids to boost your serotonin levels. Avoid self-soothing and activating brain reward centers with food. Consume healthy carbohydrates instead of sweets. Increase magnesium to help manage your mania and rapid cycling. Up your intake of whole fruits and vegetables. Stay away from caffeine and alcohol because they might trigger you. Maintain your health so you can avoid comorbidities.

Leather polish will bring a shine to your jacket, but has the potential to discolor, dry out, or clog the leather surface. Use this for special occasions, and test on a hidden area first before using a new product. Buff with a cloth until a glossy surface is created.  Do not polish suede or other leather with a soft, fuzzy texture. It is not possible to make suede glossy without permanently removing this texture.  Don't use shoe polish, even if it is intended for leather shoes. If your jacket gets wet, hang it evenly on a hanger to dry at room temperature. Remove objects from the pockets to avoid stretching the wet leather, and keep it away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or airing cupboards. Apply conditioner after drying, if the leather had become thoroughly soaked.

TL;DR in English: Polish smooth leather jackets on rare occasions. Let wet leather air dry.

A permanent dye will give you much better results than a semi-permanent dye because it contains ingredients that are capable of lightening your hair. A demi-permanent dye will open the cuticle to allow more color in, but it will not lighten your hair color. A cool tone is also highly recommended as it will reduce the chances of your hair coming out brassy. If you have dark hair and wish to go brown, opt for a light or medium ash blond color. Gather all of your hair, except for the bottom layer (about mid-ear-level and below). Twist it into a loose bun at the top of your head, then secure it with a clip or hair tie. Cover your counter with newspaper or plastic. Drape an old towel or a dyeing cape around your shoulders. Apply some petroleum jelly to the skin along your hairline, back of neck, and ears. Lastly, put on a pair of plastic gloves.  You can also throw on an old t-shirt instead of using a towel or dyeing cape. You may not need to by a new pair of plastic gloves. Many hair dye kits contain them. In most cases, all you have to do is pour the dye into the applicator bottle containing the cream base, then shake the bottle to mix. Some kits also contain extra goodies, such as a shine oil, which you should add in as well. You can also mix your dye in a non-metal bowl using an applicator brush. Start applying the dye to your roots, then blend it down towards the roots using your fingers or an applicator brush. Apply more dye as needed.  You can apply the dye directly to your hair using the applicator tip on the bottle you mixed it in. If you prepared the dye in a bowl, use an applicator brush to apply the dye to your hair instead. Undo the bun on the top of your head and let down another layer of hair. Gather the rest of the hair back up into a bun, and apply more dye to this new layer. Keep going until you reach the top.  Be sure to dye the fine hairs on your sideburns and temples. You want to dye the top of your hair last because it will process the fastest.  If you have very thick hair, then you may need...

TL;DR in English: Choose your dye, preferably in a cool tone. Section off your hair. Protect your skin, clothing, and work surface. Prepare the hair dye kit according to the instructions. Apply the dye to your hair. Dye the rest of your hair, working in layers. Gather your hair into a bun and allow it to process. Wash the dye out with cool water, then condition your hair. Dry and style your hair as desired.

As a loved one, you can do your part in reassuring someone you care about by letting them know what they mean to you. Of course, this won't make their troubles go away, but it will help them feel less alone in facing them. You might say something like, “I love you so much. I'm sorry you're going through this, but I'm here.” People suffering from anxiety may only see the world from the perspective of fear, which makes them feel like a burden to the people around them. Your loved one may not know just how valuable they are to you, so tell them. You might say, “I know you probably don't know this, but once I was feeling really down in the dumps. I didn't think I could go on anymore. You randomly called me. Without even knowing, you made my day so much better.” Those who feel fear or anxiety may only see their weaknesses. So, your friend doesn't need more criticism, they need reminding of their positive traits. This can help reassure them and empower them to overcome their fears. For instance, if you and a friend who has social anxiety are going to an event, you might say, “Sandra, I really like the color of your dress, and your makeup is flawless.” Or you might praise character traits like, “Gee, Greg, you are such a great listener. I don't know what I would do without you.” If your friend is nervous about an upcoming event or activity, do your part to encourage them. Cheer them on by reminding them how great they are and letting them know you believe in their abilities. You might say something like, "I know you're worried about the test, but you shouldn't be. You're a rock star! You know your stuff, so I know you'll knock this test out of the park!"

TL;DR in English: Tell them how much you care. Explain how they have made your life better. Praise them. Root them on.

Always keep your wines in an area under 70ºF (21ºC) and away from direct sunlight. Store horizontally on a wine rack to keep the cork moist. If you plan to age wines or store expensive wines, but don't have a wine cellar, use a basement or closet. The temperature should be close to 55ºF (13ºC), and the area should be quite humid. If this environment is not available in your home, move on to the options below. You can build your own cheap "cellar" by excavating a pit in a shaded area of your backyard. Place the wine bottles inside a wooden box, insulate the box on all sides with aluminum foil, and lower it into the pit. Cover the pit with plywood or any sturdy cover. Including a thermometer is recommended, since soil temperatures and climate can vary greatly, but as long as the temperature stays stable at a temperature between roughly 45–60ºF (7–16ºC), it can be used to store wine at larger quantities and lower expense than a refrigeration system. These are sometimes called electric wine cellars, and are the most expensive option for storing your wine, after hiring someone to dig a full-scale cellar! You may prefer to spend the extra money on pre-aged wines instead, but the wine fridge could be a good option if you have a few dozen bottles, or if you want to taste how different bottles of the same vintage age over time. Full-featured models allow different temperature zones for different types of wine.

TL;DR in English: Store horizontally, in a cool, dark place. Find alternatives to a wine cellar. Dig an underground storage space. Purchase a wine refrigerator.

Eating enough food is an important part of managing bipolar symptoms. When you skip meals, your blood sugar levels drop which has a negative effect on your mood. Try to eat at least three meals a day. If you do not like eating three big meals, you can eat six small meals throughout the day. Low levels of omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to depression. Both docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), omega-3 fatty acids, and work to increase serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood in the brain.  Increasing omega-3s has not been shown to decrease mania or rapid cycling. Have one serving of fatty fish, like salmon, mackerel, or sardines, one tablespoon of olive, canola, or soybean oil, or one handful of flax seeds or walnuts a day to get enough omega-3s. To take omega-3 as a daily supplement, fish oil containing 6.2 grams of EPA plus 3.4 grams of DHA is recommended. When purchasing fish oil, make sure to read the label and see that both of these ingredients are present so that you can more effectively combat the symptoms of bipolar disorder. People with bipolar disorder have lower levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that not only impacts your mood, but can spark a craving for carbs and sweets. However, eating sweets can negatively affect your health and cause weight gain. Don’t eat these foods to comfort yourself. Eating sweets activates reward centers in the brain, releasing dopamine, which makes people feel good. Carbohydrates are an essential part of your diet. However, there are some carbs that are better for you than others. Try to avoid carbs with refined sugars, as they can make your blood sugar levels spike dramatically then crash, making you feel tired and depressed. Complex carbs release energy in a more sustainable way and can impact our serotonin levels.  Eat more complex carbs like sweet potatoes and whole grains. Eat less refined sugar carbs like white bread, white pasta, and white rice. Add lean protein to fibre to get the nutrition you need in a healthy way. Have...

Pain is actually somewhat rare in early uterine cancer. It does not usually occur until later in the disease’s progression. Any kind of recurring pain in your pelvis can be a sign of a various number of potential health problems – including uterine cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, and ovarian cysts. You should notify your doctor and get it checked out if you are experiencing any kind of pain or pressure in your pelvis.  A feeling of pressure in your pelvis can also be a sign of uterine cancer. The intensity of the sensation can vary from person to person. You might feel a sharp, stabbing pain in your pelvic region or perhaps a lighter, more continuous feeling of pressure. It should never hurt when you urinate. If you are experiencing pain during urination, it can be a symptom of several problems including uterine cancer or urinary tract infection. Regardless, you should see your doctor immediately if you are experiencing this problem. For the most part, sexual intercourse should not be painful. If you are experiencing pain during sex, especially if it is a recent development, consider letting your doctor know just to make sure nothing is wrong. Your doctor may also be able to recommend something to alleviate the pain.

TL;DR in English: Watch for pain or pressure in your pelvis. Notice if it is difficult or painful to urinate. Be wary of pain during sexual intercourse.

You will need to be able to stack these stones so that they will provide a sturdy base for your bath. Look for stones that are large and relatively flat. Take the stones you have found and stack them, one on top of the other. Try to arrange them so that they are level. It will be a bit like a puzzle, as you try to match the jutting edges in some rocks with the gaps in others. Birds sometimes use bowls lying directly on the ground as birdbaths. They prefer, however, for their birdbaths to be at least a few inches off the ground, but it is not absolutely necessary that they be very high up. Once the stones are relatively level, place a trashcan lid on top of them. You do need to pile the stones very high. Your priority should be creating a level surface for the lid.  The lid should be deep enough for you to fill it with 1-2 inches (2-5 cm) of water and wide enough that there is enough room for you to put a large stone in the center and still have space for birds to get inside. It is counterproductive to have more than 2 inches of water in a birdbath. Place a heavy stone in the center of the trashcan lid to hold it in place on top of the other stones. Be sure the stone is centered or it will throw the lid off balance. Once the lid is secure, fill it with water. The birds should show up in no time!

TL;DR in English: Find large level stones. Stack stones. Build the stone pillar at least a few inches off the ground. Place a trashcan lid on top. Secure the lid with a large stone. Fill the lid with water.

You can't effectively rinse your bag if it's attached to your tubing. Do not replace your catheter tubing if you intend to clean your bag. Wait until after the bag is fully dry to reattach your tubes. Mix 2-3 drops of mild detergent like dish soap into enough warm water to fill your bag. Pour the soapy solution into the bag and squish it around, making sure you get into the corners. Then, open the valve to drain the bag fully of all the soapy solution and suds. Mix a solution of 1 part white vinegar with 3 parts warm water. Funnel this solution into your bag and seal your bag off. Let your bag soak for 20 minutes.  You should always rinse out the catheter bag before you reuse it. You should also rinse out the leg bag and let it dry if you are switching to a large catheter bag for the night. You should clean the leg bag every day if you use it daily and replace it with a new bag once a month. After your bag is done soaking, drain the vinegar solution out completely. Then, fill your bag with cold water and let it run through the bag's drain to completely remove the vinegar solution. Rinse your bag 2-3 times to get out all the vinegar wash. Squeeze as much water out of the bag as possible. Then, hang the bag up with the valve open so that additional moisture can drain out. Your bag should be completely dry before you reuse it. If you cannot hang your bag up for the moment, wipe it down with a clean, dry towel or paper towel.

TL;DR in English: Keep the bag detached from your catheter tubing. Pour a solution of soapy water into your bag. Soak your catheter bag with vinegar diluted in water. Rinse your bag with cold water. Hang the bag up to dry.

Aquamarine comes in a variety of colors, from green to blue to gray. Gemstones that have a rich, blue color are typically more valuable than green hues, but most blue-green hues are more valuable than borderline-clear stones. Ultimately, however, the right hue is a matter of personal preference.  No matter which color you are buying, look for an even color distribution throughout the gemstone. The most expensive unheated stones are medium to strong sky blue, and they can cost up to $600 per carat. By nature, aquamarine is one of the cleanest gemstones available. Major inclusions are rare and often a sign of mistreatment. A quality aquamarine should not have inclusions that are visible to the naked eye, and any inclusions that are visible through magnification should be slight and interior.  It is becoming fashionable lately to wear aquamarine jewelry that has inclusions in the stones. You can purchase aquamarine with inclusions for a lesser price. Low quality to mid-range aquamarines can range from $5 to $100 per carat. Past 10 carats, mid-range aquamarines can cost between $150 and $200 per carat. High quality aquamarines are much more expensive. An unheated light blue stone can cost you around $90 per carat, while a light blue-green stone can cost you anywhere between $180 to $240 per carat. Blue topaz is considerably less valuable than aquamarine, but the two stones can look very similar. The only way to tell them apart is by using a jeweler’s loupe and looking for 2 refraction lights, which is an indicator of blue topaz.  Avoid gemstones labeled as "Brazilian Aquamarine" or "Nerchinsk Aquamarine," since both of these actually refer to blue topaz. Also avoid "Siam Aquamarine," which is actually blue zircon. Since natural aquamarines are prevalent and easy to mine, they often prove less costly than synthetic aquamarines. The person who sells you your aquamarine gemstone will tell you whether or not the stone is synthetic.

TL;DR in English:


Wear comfortable shoes. Avoid flashy, distracting jewelry. Keep a professional, structured bag for work.

Some fresh air can help to keep you awake and alert. If you tend to stay inside much of the day, take a few breaks and head outside. Getting some sunlight (especially in the morning) can help regulate your waking and sleeping cycles so that you’re fully awake during the day and can sleep well at night.  Take a walk during your lunch break or ask to meet with people outside. For example, if you have a dog, go for a walk each morning so you can maximize your sun exposure. Engaging in social activities can help to keep you alert and involved. Find a friend to talk to. This might also be a good time to make any necessary phone calls.  Avoid using instant messaging to communicate; it’s best to speak in-person or over the phone to stay awake. Talk to another student or co-worker throughout your day. Schedule regular meetings so that you can be continuously engaged. Avoid reaching for the sugary snacks and grab something that will give you long-lasting energy. For example, try eating a handful of nuts or a bowl of fresh fruit. Spread some nut butter on a whole grain cracker or eat a yogurt. When you get a craving for a snack, get in the habit of fueling yourself for long-term energy to help avoid any lows that might make you drowsy or tired. If you’re struggling to stay awake, get up and take a 10-minute walk. Moving around can increase blood flow and provide oxygen throughout your body. Simple movement can help increase energy for up to 2 hours.  If you can’t take a walk, do some stretches or movements to wake up your body. Try some jumping jacks or burpees. If possible, use the gym or attend a yoga class in the morning or during lunchtime. Adding a supplement to your day can help to increase energy and keep you awake. For example, B vitamins are known to help increase energy, especially if your diet is low in B vitamins. However, beware of supplements that promise energy without any research or support.  Speak to your physician before starting any new supplements or medications. Be cautious of using stimulants...

TL;DR in English: Get outside to regulate your circadian rhythm. Talk to someone as a way to stay engaged. Grab a healthy snack when you’re hungry and sleepy. Move your body to increase your blood flow for energy. Use a supplement for energy.

There is no fixed calculation you can use to determine how much cash you should spend on your used car.  Your used car, purchased with cash, should not cause a disruption in your finances or leave you without money to pay for food, rent, and other necessities.  Use your best judgment when deciding how much you can pay for a used car. Browse several used car lots before you buy to get an idea of what you’d like to purchase.  Identify the year, make, and model of several used cars you’d like to purchase.  Be sure to select a car that is within your price range.  Narrow your list by checking Consumer Reports or a similar website to read trustworthy reviews of the cars you’re interested in. You may also want to look up the vehicle with your national traffic safety agency to determine if the car that you are interested in purchasing has been recalled. Identify at least three cars you’re interested in. If the vehicle you intend to buy is older or a luxury model, finding the right parts for it could be difficult or expensive.  Even if you wish to purchase a fairly standard vehicle, it might need its tires changed or timing belts replaced.  Consider these costs when deciding whether to purchase a particular car and when negotiating the price. Newer cars also often have higher insurance rates.

TL;DR in English: Determine how much you can afford. Develop a shortlist of cars you’re interested in. Factor in the cost of maintenance and repair.

It’s very easy to get prequalified for a loan. Large banks will let you start the prequalification process online. Type in the name of any bank and “mortgage prequalification” into Google.  At the website, you’ll find a phone number or a link you can click to get started. You can also be prequalified by stopping into a bank and asking to speak to a loan officer. Don’t limit yourself to banks, though. You can also try lenders, brokers, and credit unions, among others. The lender will ask for basic information, such as your name, phone number, and current address. You will also be asked how much you want to finance. Some lenders will then follow up with you for information about your income, assets, and debts. Other banks will have you submit all of this information online. The prequalification process is very simple. Based on the information you provide, the lender will tell you how much you can borrow. Realize that the lender isn’t making a promise to lend this amount, or to even to lend to you at all. While prequalification usually gives you a loan amount, keep in mind that this is actually for a certain monthly payment. Keep that in mind when shopping toward the upper limit of your prequalification, as taxes and insurance vary for every property and could make you qualify for less or more than your prequalification letter.

TL;DR in English: Visit lender websites or a bank. Provide information. Receive your results.

Honey is a natural antibiotic and works to pull out dirt from your open pores. Mix a tablespoon of honey with ½ a teaspoon of cinnamon and use your fingers to dab it onto your dry skin. Rub it in a circular motion for three minutes and then wash off with warm water. Make sure to wash your hands before you start applying the mask. Egg whites help to tighten pores and pull out any clogged dirt, giving you smooth, clear skin. A simple egg white mask is a great way to remove blackheads and help your skin feel fresh and clean. There are many different kinds of cosmetic clay available to purchase in a powdered form, each with the specialized property of drying out oily pores and removing unwanted residue. Mix a tablespoon of powdered clay with enough apple cider vinegar to make a paste, and spread it over your face. Leave it for 10-15 minutes until it is dry to the touch, and then rinse off with warm water. The lactic acid in yogurt and the calming qualities of oatmeal mix to create an effective blackhead-blocking formula. Use this simple mask once a week to keep your skin clear and fresh. Fenugreek? That's right - use the leafy green blended with water to form a paste. Besides its numerous other health benefits, fenugreek has shown promising results for removing blackheads. Spread this paste over your  face and allow it to sit for ten minutes, and then rinse off. Both spices you likely have in your kitchen cupboard, turmeric and mint help to clean out dirty pores. Create a brew of mint tea and allow it to cool. Then, add two tablespoons of the liquid with a tablespoon of turmeric powder and apply it to your face. Leave it on for ten minutes and then rinse off with warm water. Epsom salt mixed with iodine form a bacteria-fighting combo perfect for removing blackheads. Mix a tablespoon of epsom salt with hot water and a few drops of iodine. Let this mixture sit, stirring occasionally to dissolve the salt completely into the hot water. Then, use a bit of cotton to dab the solution onto your skin, allowing it to dry...

TL;DR in English: Use honey and cinnamon. Try an egg-white mask. Create a clay mask. Cleanse with oatmeal and yogurt. Use a paste of fenugreek. Try turmeric and mint juice. Make an epsom salt cleansing solution.

Take your dirty pan, and add enough water to cover all of the scorched areas. You should add a two to three inches of additional water to the pan because some of it will evaporate when you heat it. Make sure to dry off the bottom of the pan after you’re done filling it with water. You don’t want to put it on the stove if there are drops of water that may fall onto the burner. Water alone isn’t enough to remove scorch stains from your pan, so you’ll need to add a cleansing agent to get rid of the burnt film. Squeeze three to four drops of your usual dish detergent into the water and swirl the mixture around to spread the soap throughout the water. For very stubborn scorch marks, you may want to use dishwashing detergent in place of liquid dish soap. You can use a single tablet, several drops of liquid, or 1 to 2 tablespoons of powdered dishwashing detergent. Once you’ve combined the detergent and water, place the pan on the stove. Turn the heat up to high, and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow the water and dish detergent to boil for approximately 10 to 15 minutes to help loosen all of the debris from the bottom of the pan. Be sure to boil the water and dish detergent mixture, not just simmer it. You’ll know that it’s boiling when you see large bubbles rising from the bottom of the pan and it’s giving off nearly constant steam. After you’ve boiled the contents of the pan for approximately 10 minutes, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool completely, which should take approximately 20 minutes. Discard the water and detergent mixture -- you’ll likely notice that the pan already looks a little cleaner. Next, scrub it with dish detergent and hot water to remove the burnt film and debris. You may need to use some type of scrubbing sponge or tool to remove all of the scorch marks. Steel wool pads are effective, but they often scratch the bottom of the pan, which may cause further damage. Sponges that are covered with plastic netting are an ideal alternative because they help scrub away scorch marks but won’t...

TL;DR in English: Fill the pan with warm water. Add several drops of dish detergent. Bring to a boil. Cool and scrub the pan.

Regardless of the footwear that your job calls for, you need to make sure that you can wear them for the duration of your workday. Ditch the sky-high heels for some more appropriate pumps or ballet flats. Stick to close-toed shoes to ensure you look appropriate.  Some offices permit sandals or even sneakers, but just make sure you confirm this beforehand. Just like with your clothing, it's better to be safe than sorry. For example, unless you've seen your boss wearing flip flops, don't wear flip flops! If you have a long commute, you can bring an extra pair of shoes. Some women prefer wearing comfortable walking shoes to and from work, and popping on a pair of heels for the work day. Statement necklaces, clunky bangles, or giant hoop earrings can be a lot of fun to wear, but leave them at home. The most work-appropriate jewelry consists of pieces that add a little sparkle, but don't blind. Delicate necklaces, stud earrings, watches, and other unobtrusive pieces can help pull a look together without distracting observers. Less is more! Cross-body bags, colorful totes, and backpacks can be great for other things, but a sleek, structured bag is perfect for the office. Make sure that it can fit everything you need for a full day of work, because it won't look appropriate if your bag is bursting at the seams and spilling all over your desk space. You can spend a good deal of money on a designer bag for work, or you can check discount stores for a steal. The only nonnegotiable criteria for a work bag is that it looks clean and in good condition.

TL;DR in English:


Build yourself a ladder and hoist it up to the platform. Add a simple roof to your treehouse. Paint or stain the wood.

Like many pests, wasps are attracted to food—especially foods that are high in sugar and meat products. This includes pet food. Make sure that your trash cans are sealed tight, bird feeders are far from the house, and food isn't left out. Check your house for unsealed vents, torn screens, cracks around windows and door frames, or open dampers. Seal off these problem areas and the wasps no longer have entry ways into your home. Swatting wasps is actually counterproductive. When a wasp is squashed, a pheromone is released which attracts nearby wasps. Rather, walk away from any hovering wasps.

TL;DR in English: Put food away. Seal entry points. Avoid swatting.

Unless you choose to crack and shell the pecans yourself, you will end up paying to have these undesirable nuts processed.  If you intend to sell your pecans, having substandard or worthless nuts will cause the buyer to offer a lower price than for consistent, high quality pecans.  This is especially true if you sell to a wholesaler, who grades his purchases carefully to insure the quality of his product.  Some things to look for to help determine the quality of your pecans are these:  Coloration.  Good pecans should have a uniform color.  Some varieties, like Stuarts and Donaldsons have stripes near the bud ends, and a good definition between the stripe color (usually black), and the shells (light tan) are indicative of a good nut. Shell shape.  Pecans form inside the husk as nutrients are passed through the veins in the husk, then through the still soft shell, filling out from the bud end to the tip.  If dry weather, depletion of soil nutrients, or insect damage to the husk interrupts this feeding process, the nut will taper toward the tip end, meaning the nutmeat has not continued to grow completely. Sound.  This may seem unusual, but pecans, when they are rattled or dropped together, make a distinctive sound.  Hollow sounding pecans are likely not filled out, whereas good, full pecans will sound solid, even if just rattled together in your hands.  As you gather the pecans, shake them, and crack a few suspicious sounding ones, and you will soon develop an ear for the sound of a good, full pecan. Weight.  Although individual pecans weigh very little, an experienced picker, especially when picking or sorting by hand, will soon notice a distinct difference in weight of full pecans, compared to lesser quality ones. Generally, pecans can be stored in loose cloth sacks, in a cool, dry place for several weeks after harvest.  The nuts will actually improve in quality, particularly those harvested early, as they cure.  Do not skip the curing step.  Uncured pecans will not crack properly, and are difficult to shell....

TL;DR in English: Sort out deformed or damaged nuts when you have finished harvesting them. Sack your pecans for storage. Shell your nuts.

Once the chip is sanded, clean, and dry you can apply the primer just like you would on a medium-sized chip.  Apply a thin layer of primer to any bare metal using the applicator brush.  Be careful not to apply so much primer that drips begin to form, as they could reach the paint or cause the final repair to look uneven.  Allow the primer to dry completely before moving on to the next stage. It may take several hours for the primer to dry to full “cure.”  Read the label on the automotive primer you purchased to know for sure. Once the primer is dry, it may appear to be textured due to the bristles of the brush or the way it settled on the metal.  Use 2000 grit sandpaper and a hose to wet sand the primer.  Turn the house on and hold it above the chip so the water is pouring directly onto the dry primer, then use the sandpaper to lightly sand only the primer.  Be careful not to sand the clear coat or paint from the surrounding area as you lightly sand the primer until it is completely flat.  Wet sanding the primer will help ensure it takes on a completely flat and even finish. Allow the sanded primer to dry again completely before moving on to the next step. Using the same method as you might for a medium-sized chip, apply the touch up paint to the primer.  Dab the applicator brush in the paint, then touch it to the center of the chip and allow the paint to settle evenly.  Repeat this process until the paint covers the entire primed area.  You may need to apply multiple coats, or one coat could suffice depending on the touch up paint you purchase.  Allow the paint to dry completely before determining if you should apply another coat. If you attempt to apply the paint before the primer has dried from the wet sanding, grey swirls could appear in the paint. Once the paint is completely dry, repeat the wet sanding process on the fresh paint to remove any texture and make it completely flat.  Make sure to use different extremely fine sandpaper (2000 grit or more) and keep the water flowing over the paint as you sand...

TL;DR in English: Apply the primer. Wet sand the primer. Apply the touch up paint to the primer. Wet sand the newly dried paint. Apply clear coat. Wash and wax the entire car.

The size of your tank will largely depend on how big your snail is, how many snails you have, and whether the snails you've chosen are prone to rapid and large-scale reproduction.  Do not exceed 20 snails per one gallon tank.  If you don't have a full aquarium tank, you can use a clean quart- or gallon-sized container with transparent walls. It's best if you can see your snails to assess their health, so opt for glass or clear plastic containers when choosing an environment. If using a smaller container, do not exceed three to six snails per quart, depending on their size. Make sure you have a secure lid for your tank (ideally a screen lid that will allow fresh air to circulate through the aquarium). Some snails are notorious for finding ways to escape from their tanks. The ideal water temperature for freshwater snails is between 72 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit (22 to 28 degrees Celsius). Many saltwater snails require similar temperature ranges. The bumble bee snail, for example, does best when the water is between 72 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit (22 to 25 degrees Celsius). Depending on certain environmental factors, like the ambient temperature in your home and the climate you live in, you may need to regulate the aquarium temperature to keep the water within an appropriate range. You can also rearrange the aquarium within your home so that it is in a more stable environment, with an ideal room temperature between 64 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 25 degrees Celsius).  Keep the aquarium away from direct sunlight to prevent the water from getting too warm during the day. Aquarium heaters are available to warm up the water if you live in a cold climate with poor insulation or inadequate heating, or if it gets too cold at night in your home. You can buy aquarium heaters at most pet stores and through online retailers. The bottom of your tank is an important component of a healthy aquarium. Most snails need some type of aquatic plants in the aquarium, which means you'll have to bury the roots in substrate. Many snails...

TL;DR in English: Choose an appropriately-sized tank. Regulate the aquarium temperature as needed. Provide snails with a substrate at the bottom. Keep a clean environment.

There are a number of ways that you can do this. Have fun with this part of the project!  Build a rope ladder Build a ladder using 2 12-foot 2x4s and 2 8-foot 2x3s. Place the 2x4s side by side in perfect symmetry, marking off where each rung should go. Cut out 2x3 notches about 1 1⁄8 inches (2.9 cm) deep into both sides of the 2x4s. Cut the 2x3s the appropriate length for rungs and glue them into their notches with wood glue. Secure your rungs with deck screws and wait for the glue to dry. Stain your ladder to give it a nice hue and protect it from the elements. This roof is made from a simple tarp, although you can also get more elaborate in designing and constructing your roof. Drive one hook into both trunks about 8 feet (2.4 m) above the bottom of the platform. String a bungee cord between the two hooks and slip a tarp overhead. Next, build four outriggers several feet high and attach them to the four corners of your railing. Nail the tarp to the four corners of the outriggers, securing with a washer. Now your roof should have a better overhang. If you want to weatherproof your treehouse, or just give it a more appealing look, now's the time to stain or paint it. Consider a stain or paint that will work in combination with your house.

TL;DR in English:
