When installing floating engineered hardwood on a concrete floor, it’s best to do so on top of an underlayment. This will prevent the flooring from moving and also eliminate a crunching sound as you walk on the floor.Underlayment is a hard, thin, hard layer of foam, wood, or cement board. You can even use plywood, which can be nailed into place along the edges. Most manufacturers require a certain amount of space between the edge of the flooring and the wall. This space varies by manufacturer, but is usually around 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm). Your hardwood might come with spacers, or you can purchase your own from most home improvement stores. Each board will have a groove on one edge and a tongue on the other. When placed together, this allows the hardwood to snap together with no space between boards. Apply wood groove adhesive to the groove in each piece of wood. Lay it on the floor and then insert the tongue of the next board. As you lay down each board and insert the tongue of one board into the groove of the next, set a tapping block on the end. Use a hammer or mallet to gently tap the tapping block to ensure each board is snug against the previous one. Once you tap the flooring together to ensure a snug fit, some glue might squeeze up between the boards. Immediately wipe this excess glue away with a damp rag. Otherwise it will be almost impossible to get off. Every 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) on each row, connect one row to the row after it with painters’ tape. This keeps the rows secure and prevents them from moving. You won’t have room to get a tapping block and hammer between the last row of flooring at the wall. Instead, place the tapping block against the last row of flooring and then use a flat bar to pull it snug. Apply glue to the edge of the trim that will butt up against the last row of flooring. Carefully lay the trim on the subfloor, then press it against the edge of the last row of flooring.

TL;DR in English: Install underlayment if you don’t already have it. Set up spacers along the walls. Apply glue to the groove of the board. Use a tapper block and hammer to ensure a snug fit. Wipe up any excess glue as you go. Use painters tape to secure each row. Use a flat bar to pull the last row of flooring against the one before it. Install the trim.

To prevent injury, you should stretch before doing this exercise. Stretching will loosen your muscles and enable you to do this exercise more fluidly.  Start stretching by standing up, with your feet spread shoulder length apart. Then, bend to touch your toes on each foot, and hold for 10 seconds. Alternatively, you can stretch sitting down. Sit on the floor with your legs spread, similar to a V position. Reach for your toes on the left foot, right foot, and then reach as far as you can in the middle, and hold for 10 seconds. To start the Hindu push-up, get into a normal, starting push-up position. With your knees bent and touching the ground, place your hands on the ground directly under your shoulders (your arms should be straight). Then, slowly remove your knees from the floor and dig your toes into the ground to stabilize the lower half of your body. You should be in a high plank position.  For beginners, place your hands and feet a little farther than shoulder-width apart.  More advanced trainees can keep their hands and feet closer together for a more intense workout. Once you are in the starting push-up position, begin to raise your backside up into the air. As you raise your backside into the air, keep your arms, legs, and back straight. At this point, your eyes should be looking at your feet. In this position, you will look like an upside down V. This V position is essentially the starting position, and you will return to this position after you complete each push-up.

TL;DR in English: Stretch before doing the Hindu push-up. Get into a starting push-up position. Raise your backside into the air.

Are you trying to land a job? Do you want to go on more dates? Keeping your goal in mind will help you stay motivated to socialize regularly. Having a goal will also help you know where to direct your efforts. For instance, if you’re networking for your career, you might decide to attend more conferences. Before you even go out, think up a few topics that you’d be comfortable discussing with other people. Having some conversation topics at hand will boost your confidence, especially if you’re shy.  Talking about the weather is always a safe option, since everybody deals with the weather on a daily basis. Other good topics of conversation include work, family, and food. Keep your conversation topics light, relatable, and neutral. Avoid talking about personal or touchy topics such as religion and health. Stick with things like "How do you know the host?" or "I haven't seen your family in a while. How are they?" Your social skills get stronger the more you use them. Unfortunately, the reverse is also true: if you stay inside all day, your social skills deteriorate. To stay on top of your social game, challenge yourself to interact with people regularly in your day-to-day life.  You can practice small talk with classmates, co-workers, or the person behind you in the checkout line. Set a goal to make conversation with one stranger each day. This can be with the cashier at the grocery store or the mailman. Consider getting a job that helps you develop your social skills. Waiting tables, bartending, and working retail are a few options that give you plenty of opportunities to talk with people. A low-pressure way to break the ice with someone before you meet them in real life is to reach out to them on social media. Try following them on Twitter or adding them on LinkedIn. This way, you won’t be total strangers when you meet face-to-face.  This strategy works especially well for meeting new people at work. If you hold extroversion up as the standard of “correct” behavior, you might end up feeling inferior for no good...

TL;DR in English: Define your reasons for socializing. Think of some conversation starters. Practice putting yourself out there. Connect on social media. Avoid comparing yourself to extroverts.

Most of the supplies you need to make a pillar candle will be the same as what you used for a candle in a jar. The main difference is that because a pillar candle stands alone, you will need a mold instead of a jar. A proper candle mold is ideal, but you can also use:  An old juice box or milk carton with the top cut off. Be sure to clean it with soap and water before reusing it as a candle mold. A clean, empty juice tin A muffin tin (to make votive candles) When the wax is ready and the wick in place, pour the wax into the mold. Leave a half-inch space at the top of the mold. Allow the wax to cool to a semi-solid state, then poke four relief holes around the wick with the chopstick. These will allow air to escape and prevent cracking. Allow the wax to cool to room temperature. When the candle has set and cooled, it should slide out of the mold easily. In the event that it doesn’t come out, refrigerate the candle for 15 minutes, then try again. Trim the wick to one-half inch.

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Pour the candle. Remove the candle from the mold.

It's important to sit down and be a tad bit realistic.  A Taurus is very protective and is often jealous, like his opposite, Scorpio. If your sign happens to be Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Aquarius, Libra, or Gemini, you may have to forget about getting along with a Taurus, much less attracting him. His overbearing nature will be too stuffy for you. Make sure your sign meshes well with his! If he can handle his bull-headedness, his need for routine, and his need to lead, by all means! This could be a relationship that lasts a very, very long time. But if these are factors that you can't see yourself tolerating long-term, try not to get your heart twisted in a bunch. He can make for a good fling, but little else. Taurus likes his routine and his woman will need to be a part of it. So carve out a space for yourself! Make him part of your routine and vice versa. The deeper ingrained you two become in each other, the harder it'll be to break.  This does not, by any stretch of the imagination, mean that you two have to be involved in every aspect of each others' lives. No, no, no. It simply means to have routine hobbies and activities that you two do together that you can depend on. Stir Friday. Bowling league. Saturday morning mimosas. You each still need your own life! But each other has their definite, solid part. and work with his ego. Sometimes men can get pretty defensive when it comes to their manhood, and Taurus is no different -- in fact, he may be the cause for this gender stereotype. His pride and ego dominate a large facet of his nature -- if you attack this, he will not be happy. Make sure allow him to lead you on occasion -- he'll love it and love you for it.  There are delicate ways to do everything. If you two are fighting, this does not mean backing down and saying, "You're right, honey. I'm sorry." (Unless he is right, of course.) It means saying, "I don't understand what this has to do with that. Can you explain it to me?" With Taurus, a certain amount of tact will get you a long, long way. If...

TL;DR in English: Consider the Taurus's nature. Develop a routine together. Practice nonviolent communication Know you may need to draw him out. Work on trusting each other.

Visit an ATM that is in a well-lighted area, or one that is monitored by surveillance cameras or security personnel. This is true of both indoor ATMs and drive-up ATMs. If possible, try to use during daylight hours. Drive up ATMs are often safer than walk-up ATMs because of the privacy and safety of your vehicle and locked doors. Before using your card, be vigilant and look around for anyone who may arouse your suspicion. If you feel the least bit apprehensive, avoid using that particular ATM and search for a safer option.  If using a drive-up ATM, keep your engine running, keep your car doors locked, and keep all windows rolled up (except the one you are using). At a walk-up ATM, always lock your car doors and take your keys with you. Never leave the car running. Some ATMs require that you use your card to open the door to gain access to the ATM. Avoid letting anyone follow in behind you, and make sure the door is completely closed behind you when in the vestibule. Prepare all transactions before going to the ATM. Have your card ready so you won’t have to fumble around with your purse or your wallet. Also, if you’re making a deposit, have all checks endorsed and have the envelope sealed if you’re using one. Never share your PIN information with bank personnel, strangers, or anyone not associated with the account. When typing in your PIN, use your free hand to cover the keyboard. Some ATMs come equipped with screening devices but you can never be too safe. When withdrawing money from an ATM, be sure to place your card, money, and receipt in a secure place such as your wallet or purse before leaving the ATM. Discreetly count your cash to ensure you have the correct amount and store it quickly.

TL;DR in English:


Tar can leave stains on your skin even after you remove it. Scrubbing your skin gently can remove any excess tar or staining from it. Gently rub a clean washcloth or soft scrubber brush over stains or lingering bits of tar. Then cleanse your skin and rinse it with warm water. Repeat the scrubbing process if necessary. Using a gentle circular motion, rub a pumice stone over any tar or stains. Use a mild soap together with the pumice stone if you like. Then rinse the area with warm water and pat it dry with a clean towel. This can easily and effectively remove any lingering tar or stains on your skin. If you have tar or stains that are particularly difficult to remove, use an exfoliating scrub on your skin. You can buy or make your own exfoliator. Spread a layer of your chosen exfoliator over the area with tar bits or stains. Gently rub the exfoliator into your the skin until the tar or stains are gone. Some easy exfoliators you can make at home include:  Baking soda Sugar and olive or coconut oil paste Salt and almond oil paste Finely ground oatmeal and honey paste In some cases, you may not be able to remove tar from your skin or have very sensitive skin after removal. Make an appointment to see your doctor if this happens. The doctor can diagnose potential problems, remove lingering tar or stains, and administer appropriate treatment to your skin. Get medical attention if:  You can't remove the tar You have lingering stains You have pain or discomfort that won't go away You notice injury or damage to the skin exposed to the tar

TL;DR in English: Remove stains with a scrub brush. Clear away stains with pumice. Apply an exfoliating scrub. See your doctor.

There are thousands of banner ads and pop-ups on the internet that are designed to get your attention and make you click. Due to the way most modern browsers work, there are very few ways for you to get infected with something online unless you click on it yourself. This means you should avoid clicking on banners for offers that are too good to be true. Make sure your browser is configured to always ask before running files and downloading automatically. If you have to confirm everything, you are much less likely to get infected. Some of the most nefarious pop-ups on the internet are designed to mimic the look of legitimate anti-virus software. These pop-ups attempt to trick the user into thinking their antivirus software has found an infection. When you click the pop-up, however, the adware is actually installed.  Instead of clicking the warning, close the pop-up window and open the antivirus program on your computer. You most likely will not see any warnings. If you are still worried, run a scan using your installed software. Don't try clicking the "X" to close the pop-up window, as this will usually lead to more pop-ups. Instead, use the Task Manager to get rid of it. Alternatively, you can install and use an adblocker to prevent ads appearing in the first place.  Other pop-ups may warn of an infection that only their software can fix. No legitimate antivirus company will advertise their product this way, so avoid clicking on any of these pop-ups. Check to ensure that your browser is configured to block pop-ups. Pop-ups can store information in your browser's cache, leading to them reappearing constantly. To help prevent this, clear your browser’s cache regularly. Such scams intend to get your personal details, take control of your computer, demand payment, or install difficult-to-remove malware onto your computer.  If you fall for such a scam, report the number to the FTC. Note that real companies will not contact you or give you a number to call if your computer is infected with malware. There are...

TL;DR in English: Avoid clicking on everything. Beware of misleading pop-ups. Clear your cache. Do not contact numbers in tech support scams. Be selective with your downloads.

Too many toys is always too many toys. For autistic children, it can feel overwhelming and crowding. It is better to choose one good quality toy over many cheaper toys that will clutter your house. If you hit the right choice, that one toy will provide many hours of enjoyment. There are numerous stores catering to toys for autistic children, offering advice and good ideas. There are also many, many guides on what toys to get for autistic children. Have a good read to inform yourself and apply the most appropriate ideas to suit your child – every child is different, and every form of autism is different, and you know your own child's needs and interests better than anyone else.  Find out what autistic writers loved when they were children. Consider stim toys as well as traditional toys. Some autistic children will do typical imaginary/interactive play with others, while tending to focus on stimming or systematizing play when by themselves. Be careful of websites that emphasize "appropriate play." The goal of these websites may be to make autistic children look normal, rather than to help them have fun and improve their skills. Encouraging the child's passions will help them feel supported and understood. (It may also eventually lead to a fulfilling career for the child—a girl who loves fire trucks may someday design them.) Exercise is important for all children, and autistic children are no exception. (It may also provide an outlet for extra energy.) Encourage the child to play both by themselves and with others. If they are anxious by nature, encourage collaborative rather than competitive play. If you have an older child, they may enjoy going through the creation process with you. For example, show the child how to make yarn dolls, or sew a doll. Examples include balls, sidewalk chalk, art supplies, and sports gear. This gives an opportunity for the siblings to hang out together. This will help you or the parent bond with the child, and get to know how their mind works. It also provides an opportunity for...

TL;DR in English: Select quality over quantity. Search online. Look for toys that match the child's special interests. Search for outdoor toys. Consider making toys with your child. If the autistic child has siblings of a similar age, see if there are toys that they can share. Try choosing toys that encourage parent/child play.

It’s easy to feel left out when your partner is somewhere else, living a life you can’t be part of. You and your partner will have friends and experiences the other can’t be part of. To help keep them feel included and connected, send them texts and photos throughout your night so they know you are thinking of them and can almost feel like they’re there.  This is especially important if you are posting photos to Instagram, Snapchat, or other social media. If you have time to update social media, you have time to send a text to your partner. Send a special photo you haven’t posted on social media, and include a message like, “I miss you” or “Wish you were here with me!” Unless you tell your partner what you are doing, they won’t know. To help keep them in your life, let them know where you are going and who you are with. This helps keep the intimacy and passion between you because you both are including each other in your lives.  For example, you might text them and say, “Going out with my friends to this really cool bar. They have a band I know you’d love! We’ll go next time you visit.” You may consider calling them afterwards and telling them about your night. Or, if you are attending an event, such as a concert, then you might consider using services like Facebook or Skype to share live video with them. Do not think about this as a way for your partner to keep tabs on you. You are sharing your lives with one another, just like you would be if you lived in the same area. This is a way to keep each other involved in both your lives. It can be easy to slip into the habit of just texting about your day and expecting your partner to do the same. Help keep the passion by asking questions about your partner’s life, being interested in their new experiences, and remembering things they have going on. For example, you may text, “How is your job going?” or “Are you still liking your apartment?” You might say, “I remember you had a conflict with someone at work. How is that going?” or “Have you tried the new Indian...

TL;DR in English: Send your partner texts when you go out. Keep your partner updated with your plans. Ask questions about their life. Communicate with them daily. Send mail to each other.

Before any thing else, if you plan on getting up close and personal with espresso machines, makers or espresso beverages as a lifelong hobby, you'll need to know the terms that go with them. There are many terms associated with coffee making and drinking but here are a few that every espresso aficionado should be aware of:  BAR: This is the pressure rating that you'll find on most espresso machines. Barista: This is the person responsible for operating the espresso/coffee machine. It's Italian in origin. Breve: When someone asks for a breve, it's simply using steamed half and half or skimmed milk rather than regular milk. Coffee Pack: This refers to the tamped volume of coffee grinds in a filter basket before the shot of espresso is brewed. Demitasse: This is the cup that holds a traditional shot of espresso, namely a 3-ounce (or smaller) cup. Although these can be made from any range of food grade materials, the porcelain type is the most preferred. They need to be thick to retain heat. Dosage: The dosage means the amount of ground coffee that makes up a shot of espresso. It is usually measured as 7 grams per 1.5 ounce single espresso shots. Double: This is one option for ordering an espresso or the pour of the espresso. This is usually between 2.5 and 3 ounces of espresso total volume. Espresso: Another Italian word for the drink made using a pump or lever espresso machine, from 7 grams (+/- 2 grams) of finely ground coffee, producing 1-1.5 ounces (30-45ml) of extracted beverage under 9 bar (135psi) of brewing pressure at brewing temperatures of between 194ºF and 204ºF/90ºC-96ºC, over a period of 25 seconds (+/- 5 seconds and no less than 20 seconds) of brew time. The definitions may be hotly contested by many baristas, for espresso is a subjective pleasure. The age, quality, and origin of the coffee bean, the amount of grounds packed into the basket, the pressure with which the barista tamps, the water temperature, and many other factors all impact the end product. Filter basket: This is the metal, flat...

Understand the basics of functions. Start with an outline. Add the function to a program.

If your best friend is in a romantic relationship, it may be hard to see them as much as you would like. Plus, when you do see them, they will likely be with their partner. If you feel like you could use a little one-on-one time, talk to your friend and set up a time to hang out, just the two of you. Try setting up a coffee or lunch date in advance, this will make it easier for both of you to commit to it. If you find that you are spending a lot of time with a couple, get to know your friend’s partner. You may find that you really enjoy their company as well. At the least, getting to know your friend’s partner will help you feel more comfortable around them and make spending time with them a little more enjoyable. If appropriate, try hanging out with just your friend’s partner. You might develop a friendship on your own. Your friend’s relationship might be a great time to do your own thing. Instead of doing things with your friend and their partner, do stuff on your own. Indulge some of your hobbies or try out new things.  Take some classes on your own, like cooking or karate. If you feel emotionally comfortable with the concept, you could also try online dating. The easiest way to handle being a third wheel is to spend less time with the couple. You do not need to do everything with your friend and their partner, and they would probably appreciate a little more space. Try to call or text them less, and be less insistent about hanging out. Put the ball in your friend’s court and let them initiate friend time.  This is particularly important early on when your friend is figuring out the new dynamics of their relationship. Give them some space and let them get their bearings. If the couple tries to include you more than you want, politely decline. You don't have to accept every invitation they extend, but you should also not be rude enough that you damage your friendships when you turn down an invite. Let your friend know that you are there for them and that you have their best interests at heart. This will...

TL;DR in English: Arrange times to hang out with your friend. Get to know your friend’s partner. Be more independent. Give the couple space. Be supportive. Find your own partner.

If you have acrobatics in your routine, this is the time to use them. Stretch, work on cardio and warm up your stunts beforehand, but don't practice too much - you may hurt yourself before the division even starts.  There are often breaks between divisions, you may want to repeat this before each division. Be sure to practice blocking and scoring combinations at your dojo or on a punching bag beforehand. If you keep dropping your weapon or can't land stunts, don't let that make you nervous. Simply look for openings, block their combos, and do what you were trained to do.

TL;DR in English: Warm up. Don't let your opponent intimidate you.

If you are making a single mint julep, don’t pour any more ice into the cup. If you created a batch, fill squat cocktail glasses or traditional silver mint julep cups halfway to three-quarters full with ice. If you have made a batch of mint julep, take the refrigerated pitcher of the mint julep mixture out of the fridge, and pour the drink over the ice until it is almost full. If you want your drink really cold and are using a silver cup, wait until frost forms on the cup before pouring in the mint julep. Place a sprig of mint, or a few mint leaves, in the glass of mint julep. This adds flavor and also makes the drink more aromatic when you are sipping it. After garnishing with mint, sprinkle a pinch of powdered sugar on top of the ice if you wish. The powdered sugar adds a bit more sweetness. Stick a short straw into the drink and serve immediately. If you let the drink sit, the ice will melt and dilute the flavor. The mint julep should taste sweet, minty, and very refreshing!

TL;DR in English: Pour ice into a glass. Pour in the mint julep mixture. Garnish with mint. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the ice. Serve with a short straw.

The rules of volleyball state that in order to strike the ball over the net, you must be a front row player. It's most effective to strike the ball from the right or left side at a sharp downward angle. Whether you are spiking the ball from the right or left front position, position yourself behind the 10-foot line (attack line), which is the line that is about four steps away from the net.  If you have long legs or take bigger steps, and stand further back. If you are right handed, you may have a more powerful spike when you approach from the left side of the court, and vice versa if you are left handed. If you are tall or can jump higher, try starting near the middle. The person playing the center position will set the ball high in your direction, arcing it so that it falls close to the net in a position that makes it easy to spike it to the other side. You'll start your approach after the ball is set.  As you practice spiking, make sure you're working with a skilled setter. It should rise and fall in a gentle arc close to the net, putting it in the perfect position for you to go in for the kill. As you practice with your team, you'll want to call to your teammates to let them know you're striking. Many teams come up with codes for each side, so use them if yours does. Face the ball and bend your knees so you're ready to move. If you're right handed, your left foot should be set back from your right foot. If you're left handed, your right foot should be set back from your left foot. As you reach the height of your jump, your arms should swing above your head. Pull back your right elbow (or your left, if you're left-handed) and bend it at a ninety degree angle. Your hand should now be at head level. If the opposing team returns the ball, you'll need to be ready for more action. Drop back from the net and get in your ready position. Keep your eye on the ball the whole time.

TL;DR in English: Get into position. Watch the setter. Assume the correct stance. Rear your hand back to strike. Get back into position.

Use the standard five paragraph essay format. This format will structure your letter in a clear, concise, and compelling manner. It consists of an introductory paragraph, three main body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Your introduction should focus on your immediate educational and career goals. This sentence is already written in your preparation stage so you should be able to place it right into this part of your outline. You will briefly discuss how your particular interests within your chosen field of study developed and state why you want to continue your education. Remember that these bullet points are for your reference so you can see just how much you’ve accomplished thus far. When you write, it’ll be up to you to turn this list into a compelling "story". In this paragraph you will focus on your strengths and leadership skills including academic achievements, extracurricular activities, community and/or volunteer, and awards. Again, you have these listed. Now put them in a bulleted list here. Were you class president? Did you write a story that won a competition? Did you write for the school newspaper? Were you captain of the Lacrosse team? Did you volunteer in a political campaign or at the food bank? Do you hold down a job with management responsibilities? Do you work with kids? Have you been nominated for academic awards? This paragraph will develop your reason for applying for this particular scholarship and why you should be considered. Be professional and direct and do not say that you need the scholarship money but rather mention what you will be using it for. Examples would be to help pay for tuition, housing, books and supplies. This is the part of the story about the future. How do your goals and vision match up with theirs? And what would you pay for if you had that opportunity? Now that you’ve told them about yourself, show them that you are deserving of their scholarship and how you will wisely use their funds. Highlight your ability to successfully complete the college program for which...

TL;DR in English: Organize your paragraphs. Outline your introduction. Create bullets for paragraph two. Create bullets for paragraph three. Create bullets for paragraph four. Outline your conclusion.

Functions are self-contained blocks of code that can be called upon by other parts of the program. They make it very easy to repeat code, and they help make the program simpler to read and change. Functions can include all of the previously-covered techniques learned in this article, and even other functions.       The main() line at the beginning of all of the above examples is a function, as is getchar()  Functions are essential to efficient and easy-to-read code. Make good use of functions to streamline your program. Functions are best created when you outline what you want it to accomplish before you begin the actual coding. The basic syntax for functions is "return_type name ( argument1, argument2, etc.);". For example, to create a function that adds two numbers:   int add ( int x, int y );    This will create a function that adds two integers (x and y) and then returns the sum as an integer. You can use the outline to create a program that takes two integers that the user enters and then adds them together. The program will define how the "add" function works and use it to manipulate the input numbers.   #include <stdio.h>  int add ( int x, int y );  int main() {   int x;   int y;    printf( "Enter two numbers to add together: " );   scanf( "%d", &x );   scanf( "%d", &y );   printf( "The sum of your numbers is %d\n" , add( x, y ) );   getchar(); }  int add ( int x , int y ) {   return x + y; }    Note that the outline is still located at the top of the program.

Get your immunizations up-to-date before conceiving. Quit smoking. Stay away from all illicit drugs. Steer clear of hot tubs, saunas, or steam rooms. Avoid environmental toxins.

It’s important to distinguish between these two terms and to use them properly in your assessment.  A hazard is anything that may cause harm. For example: chemicals, electricity, working from heights like a ladder, or an open drawer.  A risk is the chance that these hazards could cause harm to others. For example: a chemical burn or an electric shock, a fall from heights, or an injury from hitting an open drawer. Think about any hazards you notice as you walk around. Ask yourself, what activities, processes, or substances could injure your employees or harm their health?  Look at any objects, office furniture or pieces of machinery that could be hazards. Examine any substances in the workplace, from chemicals to hot coffee. Think about how these substances could injury your employees. If you work in an office, look for any long wires in walkways or under desks, as well as any broken drawers, cupboards, or counter tops. Examine the chairs at your employees' workstations, the windows, and the doors. Look for any hazards in the common areas, such as a faulty microwave or an uncovered section on the coffee machine. If you work in a big box store or a warehouse, look for any machinery that could be hazards. Note any spare materials, like hangers or safety clips, that could spill or land on an employee. Look for any hazards in the aisles of the store, like narrow shelving or cracked sections of the floors. Your employees will be able to help you identify any hazards they encounter on the job. Send out an email or have an in person discussion asking for feedback on any possible hazards in the workplace. Ask specifically about hazards that your employees think could result in significant harm, such as slips and trips, fire hazards, and falling from heights. They can help to explain the hazards and put them in perspective in terms of how the equipment was made to be used and how misuse can lead to hazards. The manufacturer's instructions will likely be on the labels of any equipment or substances. You can also check...

TL;DR in English: Understand the definition of a “hazard” and of a “risk” to the workplace. Walk around your workplace. Ask your employees about any possible hazards. Check the manufacturer’s instructions or data sheets for any equipment or substances. Look at any accident and ill-health records for the workplace. Think about any possible long term hazards. Visit a government health and safety guidelines website.

Mandarin Chinese is a tonal language, which means that different tones can change the meaning of a word, even if the pronunciation and spelling are otherwise the same. It is essential to learn the different tones if you wish to speak Mandarin Chinese correctly. Mandarin Chinese has four main tones, as follows:  The first tone is a high, flat tone. Your voice stays flat, with no rise or dip in the way it sounds. Using the word "ma" as an example, the first tone is indicated using the symbol above the letter a: "mā". The second tone is a rising tone. Your voice rises from a low to middle pitch, as if you were asking someone to repeat something by saying "huh?" or "what?" The second tone is indicated using the symbol "má". The third tone is a dipping tone.The pitch goes from middle to low to high, like when you say the letter "B". When two third tone syllables are near each other, the second one retains its third tone sound while the first takes the sound of the second tone. The third tone is indicated using the symbol "mǎ". The fourth tone is a lowering tone. The pitch goes rapidly from high to low, as if giving a command e.g. stop!  Or as if you're reading a book and have come across something new and interesting and are saying "huh". The fourth tone is indicated using the symbol "mà". Easy enough? If not, don't fret. It's definitely recommended to hear the tones demonstrated by a native speaker, since it's hard to get an idea of what they sound like purely through text. No matter what language you're learning, the more words you have at your disposal, the sooner you will become fluent. Therefore, the next thing to do is to memorize some useful Chinese vocabulary.  Some good vocabulary lists to start with includes: times of day (morning: zǎo shàng, afternoon: xià wǔ, evening: wǎn shàng) body parts (head: tóu, feet: jiǎo, hands: shǒu) food (beef: niú ròu, chicken: jī, egg: jī dàn, noodles: miàn tiáo) along with colors, days, months, transport words, weather, etc. When you hear a word in English, think about how...

TL;DR in English: Practice using the four Mandarin tones. Memorize simple vocabulary. Learn how to count. Learn some basic conversational phrases.

Although you should respect his opinions, you also want to show him that you have a mind of your own. A difference of opinion can often result in an absorbing discussion instead of an argument. What man wouldn't go crazy for a woman who can turn a disagreement into great conversation?  Relax your facial expression to let him know you're not getting worked up about any differences of opinion. Be able to laugh about how far apart you might be on an issue. If you're lucky, you might have found someone who's actually on the same page as you. In that case, celebrate! Your youth is one of your biggest assets when flirting with an older man. Use it to your advantage! When you get ready to go out at night, wear fashion styles that set you apart from older women. Of course, you shouldn't dress like a teenager. You don't want him thinking about you dragging him to One Direction concerts! Wear clothes that look good on a woman in her mid twenties or thirties, but might look a little strange on a woman in her forties. To older men, the most attractive thing about young women is that they're already at the ideal age. You don't have to try to look older or younger. You're already in the sweet spot! He sees you, and he can already tell you're a younger woman. You don't have to play up your youth to get his attention in conversation. Own your age, but don't make it the central focus of the conversation. Highlighting it repeatedly (“That's my dad's favorite song!”) might make the conversation grow tiresome for him. He might also start thinking of you as a pretty face without substance. Instead of spending your time talking about how young you are, focus instead on how mature you are for your age. It might seem like you don't have enough in common with him to hold his interest. For example, he may bring up children, mortgages, 70s music, or any number of other things you have no experience with. Don't fake your way through the conversation, pretending you understand what parenthood is like. He'll see right through it.  Make...

TL;DR in English: Engage him in conversation. Dress your age. Don't focus on your youth. Don't hide your youth, either. Be yourself. Make eye contact. Touch your hair and neck. Be aware of your body language.

The stoma is the hole in the neck/trachea where the tubes are inserted so the patient can breathe. The stoma should be assessed each time after suctioning for skin breakdown and signs of infection. If any symptoms of infection are present (or if anything at all seems questionable), consult a doctor immediately.  Symptoms of a stoma infection can include redness, swelling, pain, and the secretion of foul-smelling pus. If a stoma is infected and inflamed, the tracheal tubes will be more difficult to insert. If a stoma is pale or bluish, this may indicate an issue with blood flow to the tissue, and you should contact a doctor right away. Each time you remove a tracheal tube, clean and disinfect the stoma. Use an antiseptic solution such as betadine solution or something similar. The stoma should be cleaned in a circular motion (with a sterile gauze) starting at the 12 o’clock position and wiping downward to the three o’clock position. Then use a new gauze dipped in antiseptic and wipe towards the nine o’clock position. To clean the lower half of the stoma, wipe with a new gauze from the three o’clock position towards the six o’clock position. Then wipe again from the nine o’clock position moving towards the six o’clock position. The dressing around the tracheostomy should be changed at least twice a day. This helps to prevent infection at the stoma site and within the respiratory system (lungs). Changing it also helps to promote the skin's integrity. A new dressing helps to insulate the skin and absorb the secretions that might leak around the stoma.  A wet dressing should be changed immediately. This breeds bacteria and can lead to health complications. Don't forget to change the ribbons (ties) that keep the tracheal tube in place if they get soiled or wet. Make sure to hold the tracheal tube in place while changing the ribbons.

TL;DR in English: Assess the stoma. Clean the stoma with an antiseptic. Change the dressing regularly.

Deboning the bird will removes the rib cage, obviously. But as a practical matter, this means two things: (1) the bones, which hold the cold after the bird is removed from the refrigerator, are gone, which means that the bird roasts faster, and (2) the deboning process itself brings the meat up to room temperature, and if done the day you intend to cook the bird, also means that the bird roasts faster. Plan this into your cooking schedule. Julia Child claimed that a deboned 15-pound turkey was done in less than two hours, although you should plan to be flexible, as it could take longer than that. A deboned bird can take a LOT more stuffing than a bird with the bones in. Not only is there more room because the entire rib cage is removed, but the meat and skin can stretch as well. A deboned bird can take 2-3 times more stuffing For instance, a 20-pound turkey will use about 2 loaves of stuffing bread. Talk about a feast! Want a few more ideas? wikiHow has some tasty articles on turkey stuffing, bread stuffing, and even chestnut stuffing. You didn't throw away the giblets and neck bones, right? Those can be made to add some serious flavor to your gravy. What's more, it eliminates waste, which is a total holiday win. And it's cheap, too. All you literally need is flour, water, and the giblets. This just might be the tastiest, simplest gravy you've ever made.

TL;DR in English: Plan your roasting time accordingly. Plan your stuffing. Make a giblet gravy with the giblets and neck bones.

If possible, you should see your healthcare provider to get any necessary immunizations before you become pregnant. Make sure your current healthcare provider has access to all your medical records so they can determine if you need any immunizations. If you do, get them as soon as possible. The MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) and TDaP (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis) immunizations should be given before you become pregnant. You can get a flu vaccine while you are pregnant. Speak to your healthcare provider if you have any concerns regarding immunizations. It’s generally recommended that smoking of any sort be avoided, as it is very damaging to the lungs. This is especially true for pregnant women, because whatever you smoke, your baby smokes as well. Nicotine and tobacco in the blood stream is absorbed by the child, increasing the likelihood of stillbirth, miscarriage, and a low birth weight. Cut out all smoking, including cigarettes, e-cigs, cigars, and marijuana.  Some studies have also shown that babies whose mothers’ smoked while pregnant grow up to be chronic smokers themselves. You should also avoid secondhand smoke. Drugs of any sort - particularly ‘street’ drugs - are incredibly dangerous for a developing child. Recreational drugs almost guarantee your child will suffer from a birth defect or complication, because they have such a significant impact on your body and brain function, and therefore your child’s. Mothers who are addicted to drugs and continue to use them while pregnant can actually pass on their addiction to their child. The newborn baby is then addicted to drugs, and suffers withdrawal symptoms just like an adult does.  If you’re a user of recreational drugs or are addicted, check into a rehab program. Ask your doctor for help finding a spot if you are having trouble. Maintain a drug free lifestyle beyond the birth of your child for your own health. Raising your body temperature too high can be dangerous for your offspring, as high body temperature is correlated to developmental...

Find or purchase a tube sock the same color as your hair.

Cradle your dog's head in your non-dominant hand and hold the bottle of drops with your dominant hand. With the thumb of the hand holding the head, gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a pouch. This space behind the lower eyelid is the conjunctival sac, and it is a good place to apply eye medication. Rest the hand holding the medication on the pet's forehead, so if the dog jerks its head, your hand will move with it. Without touching the tip of the bottle to the dog's eye (about 1/8” is a good distance), place the required number of drops into the conjunctival sac or on the eyeball. By putting the medicine in the conjunctival sac, it will spread around the eyeball easier without spilling out of the dog's eye. Try to give the drops a few seconds to disperse before letting the dog shake its head. As long as you actually get the drops in the eye, though, there's probably no need to worry if the dog does shake its head. Eye drops disperse rapidly. The procedure is basically the same as administering eye drops. Restrain your dog’s head. Without touching the tip of the tube to the dog's eyeball, apply a ribbon of medication to the conjunctival sac. Gently close the dog's eye and massage the eyelid with your finger to disperse the medication across the eyeball. If your dog flinches and you are sure that none of the medication got into the eye, take a deep breath, wipe away the ointment, and try again. If you are patient and persistent, it will get easier. This will disperse the treatment. Do this lightly for as long as your dog will reasonably let you. Ideally, you would gently rub your dog's eyelid for 10 to 15 seconds to make sure that the medicine has fully spread across your dog's eye. Follow your vet’s instructions. Some drops/ointments will need to be administered every two hours, some twice a day, and some once a day. The recommended frequency should be printed on the side of the bottle, if it’s a prescription drop/ointment. If you have been asked to treat both eyes even though only one eye appears...

TL;DR in English: Position the dog's head. Apply eye drops. Apply eye ointment. Gently massage your dog's eyelids. Repeat the process. Give your dog a treat when you finish. Stop your dog from rubbing its eye. Close and secure the medication.

Most people can do a split, but it takes a lot of stretching and strength training. Some experts recommend taking at least one month to train and prepare your body to do a split. Follow the stretching and strength training regimen outlined in this article. Do not attempt to do a split without any training or preparation. In addition to preparing your body, wearing the right clothes is important for doing the split. You'll want to wear loose-fitting clothes like sweatpants to help with your range of motion. It would also help to wear socks on a wooden or tile floor, so you can easily slide your feet out to the side. Just like with any stretching regimen, you can't attempt a Chinese split without first warming up your muscles. If you've been following a daily stretch and exercise regimen for several weeks to prepare for a split, perform your usual warm up regimen (about 15 to 20 minutes of physical activity) to make sure your muscles are ready for a split. After you warm up, you need to do some preliminary stretches. Stretch every major muscle group that's involved in doing the split before trying to do the actual split. Try to work through all of the stretches you've done in the previous weeks leading up to your Chinese split attempt. These are the muscle groups you will be using to do the actual split, so loosen your body the same way you've been training. After you've warmed up, you can start working on the split. It will probably take several attempts over days or weeks to do this split, so don't expect to get it your first time. Remember to stop at any point if you feel pain.  Stand with your feet greater than shoulder width apart. Bend down and put your hands on the ground. If you can't get your hands to the ground, you need to work on stretching more. Shift your weight to your heels and rotate your toes and knees so that they're facing up. Then gradually walk your feet out from under you. Keep your hands on the ground to maintain stability -- you don't want to go down too suddenly, or you could injure...

TL;DR in English: Know whether you're ready. Dress properly. Warm up. Do a stretching regimen. Work on the split gradually. Repeat the split routine as needed. Work up to doing a drop split.

Wait for the congregation to sing the hymn of response during service. When the pastor invites prospective new members to join the church, present yourself. If you've never been baptized before, allow yourself to be now. If you've already been baptized and shown proof, skip this step. Affirm your acceptance of Jesus Christ and your commitment to the United Methodist Church. Answer the following questions in the affirmative when prompted by the pastor:  “As a member of Christ’s universal church, will you be loyal to Christ through the United Methodist Church, and do all in your power to strengthen its ministries?”  “As a member of this congregation, will you faithfully participate in its ministries by your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service, and your witness?” Join the pastor at the end of service to greet your fellow worshipers as a full member of the church.

TL;DR in English: Attend a Sunday service. Accept baptism. Confess your faith. Meet your new congregation.

If iron residue is stuck on your geode, you will need to soak it in wood bleach to clean it. To start, give your geode a light rinsing under the faucet to remove any dirt or debris. Wood bleach can be very harmful to the hands and eyes. Safety precautions are important if your'e working with wood bleach, so throw on a pair of gloves and goggles before handling the bleach. Typically, to soak a geode, you should mix an eighth cup of wood bleach in five liters of water. However, make sure to read the label on the bleach you purchased. Some bleaches may need to be diluted more than others. Submerge your geode completely in the wood bleach mixture. Allow it to soak for around two to three hour before checking on it. If the iron is gone, you can remove the geode at this point. If there is still iron on the geode, check it again in about half an hour. Be vigilant about checking the geode frequently until the iron is removed. Letting the geode linger in wood bleach for too long can harm the geode. After the iron is removed, take the geode out of the bleach solution. Wash off the bleach by running the geode under warm water. Make sure to wear gloves when removing the geode from the bleach.

TL;DR in English: Rinse your geodes. Put on protective gloves and googles. Mix a cleaning solution. Soak the geode in wood bleach for a few hours. Keep soaking the geode until it's clean. Wash the geode with warm water.

If there is room in the cage you can put a small litter box, but this is not vitally necessary. The same is true of food and water. Never make your cat stay in its carrier for longer than eight hours without providing it with food, water and a chance to use the litter box. You want the cat to voluntarily get comfortable going into it. Do not force your cat into the cage if it doesn’t go in at this stage. You may want to place a towel or blanket over the carrier when carrying it to the car to block its view of the “scary” outside. Remove it when you place the carrier in the car. The carrier should be placed in a secure spot in the car, preferably strapped in place with a seat belt. If the seat belt won’t work, you can use bungee cords or small lengths of rope to secure the carrier in the car in case of sudden stops or an accident. Car rides are stressful for cats regardless if they like them or not. Having a harness and a leash on the cat whenever it is out of the carrier (even in the car) gives you something to grab in case the cat decides to bolt from an open window or door. Your cat won't want to go all day in its carrier. This is where the harness and leash come in. Snap the leash on and allow your cat to come out into the car for twenty or so minutes. Offering a chance in the litterbox isn't a bad idea, either, but don't be surprised if your cat turns its nose up at the idea. If you go out, put your cat in its carrier and the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on your door, in case the maid should come by. If you're going to be out for the day, put the cat in the bathroom with its things and shut the door (if possible). Then leave a note on the door stating your cat is currently in there and to please be careful not to let it out.

TL;DR in English: Have your cat eat a few hours before traveling and allow it unrestricted access to its litter box. Leave the door of the cage open to allow your cat a chance to explore the cage. Place the cat in the carrier, then carry it to the car. Place your cat in the carrier with the harness on. Allow your cat to stretch its legs. Spray wherever you're staying with Feliway (or use the Feliway diffuser) before putting your cat in the room.

Although the sock will be hidden inside your hair once you make the bun, it’s a good idea to find a sock the same color as your hair just in case part of the sock peeks through.  If you don’t have a sock the same color as your hair and are trying to make this hairstyle in a pinch, choose a sock that is a similar tone to your hair. For instance, if you have blond hair, pick a tan or light-colored sock. If you have dark brown hair, pick a black or navy sock. Make sure that you use a sock you don’t care about, since you will be cutting it and won’t be able to wear it again. If you don’t want to use a sock, you can also purchase a hair donut, which fulfills the same function as the sock. If you have a hair donut, you can skip to the next section.

TL;DR in English:

Whether you like bold glasses or own 20 cats, it's the things that make you unique that make you memorable. Don't be afraid to show that side to the person you want to dream about you. That is, don't hide your opinion or thoughts. Being who you really are will help you stand out. For instance, if the person you are trying to get to notice you asks you what movie you like, don't just say, "Oh, you know, comedies." Be specific: "I really liked the latest Star Trek movie. I know a lot of Trekkies hated it, but I loved the story line." People like being told nice things about themselves, and you will increase your chances of being memorable if you do compliment someone. To stick in someone's mind, you need to stand out from the crowd. Therefore, you need to do things out of the norm. Wear a silly hat around the person. Bake a cake for him or her. Do something that makes him or her remember you in particular. One way to show you are interested in a person is to listen intently. You show you genuinely care about what the person thinks or says. Because this quality is rare, it will help you stand out. If you're just meeting a person, give them a memorable piece of information about yourself. The best kinds of hooks are funny. For instance, say you're meeting a friend of your sister at a gathering in Arizona. You could say, "Hi, I'm Carrie's sister from Oklahoma. I tried to leave the tornadoes behind, though." When starting up a conversation, move away from questions about the person's job or the weather. Instead, try more interesting topics, such as a local play that's running or a great book you just read.

TL;DR in English: Let your unique characteristics shine. Be authentic. Give the person a compliment. Do something unusual. Listen intently. Try a hook. Pick interesting topics.

These appliances can potentially start a fire if left unattended.  Make sure all controls on stoves, ovens, and microwaves are set to OFF before seeking cover. This will prevent them from jamming, leaving you with a possible evacuation route. They may provide you additional things that you need to do to protect your lives.  For example, they may inform you to turn off dangerous machinery or to move away from shelves or displays. Avoid sudden braking or swerving, as it could potentially cause an accident.

TL;DR in English: Turn off cooking appliances if it is safe to do so before taking cover. Open exit doors if you can before tremors start. Follow instructions of emergency personnel if in a public building. Slow down your vehicle if in a car.

, if necessary. It's important to work with a very sharp knife, since butternut squash is firm and smooth. A blunt knife could slip and cut you if you aren't careful. Use a thick, heavy knife to do the job. Place the squash on a large cutting board. Hold the thicker end of the squash with one hand, and use the other to cut approximately 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) off the narrow end, just below the stem. The slice should be clean and even. Hold the narrow end of the squash and use your other hand to cut approximately 1/2 inch (about 1.2 cm) off the wider end. . Now that you have a flat base to work with, it's time to peel off the rind. Use a vegetable peeler, or if you don't have one that's sturdy enough, a very sharp knife.  Stand the squash upright on its wider end. Hold it from the top with one hand and use the other to run the vegetable peeler in vertical strokes down the side of the squash. Alternatively, you could hold the squash in one hand and use the vegetable peeler to remove the rind in horizontal strokes. Stand the squash upright on its wider end. Place the knife in the middle of the top of the squash and slice downward. Make one clean cut to slice the squash in two.  Cutting butternut squash can sometimes be difficult because the squash is dense and hard. If this is the case, gently tap the knife end with a rubber mallet to help it cut through the flesh of the squash. If the mallet method doesn't work, you can switch to a serrated knife and use a sawing motion to cut the squash in half. Use a metal spoon to scoop the seeds and stringy pulp from the both halves of the squash. The seeds can be  roasted like pumpkin seeds, so save them if you'd like. Lay both halves of the squash cut side down on the cutting board. Make a horizontal cut in each half, separating the bulbous end from the thin end. You should now have four parts of the butternut squash to work with. The thickness of your strips will vary depending on the specific recipe. Generally, the strips will range from 1/2 inch to 1 inch (about 1.2 cm to...

TL;DR in English: Sharpen your knife Cut off the top. Cut off the bottom. Peel the squash Slice the squash down the middle. Scoop out the seeds and pulp. Cut the halves in half. Cut the sections the squash into lengthwise strips. Cut the lengthwise strips crosswise.

When you plan on walking through the woods or spending time in the yard, wear long pants, long socks, long sleeves, and boots. This creates a barrier between ticks and your skin, which reduces the likelihood of them attaching to your skin. You can still do this in the summertime when it’s warm outside; just wear breathable fabrics such as cotton and linen mixes. Purchase a repellent spray such as Sawyer Brand’s Fisherman’s Formula or OFF! Deep Woods. Spray the product all over your body just before going outside in order to effectively repel ticks. Pour 1 cup (236.5 mL) of vinegar into a spray bottle. Add in 10-15 drops of a tick-repelling essential oil, such as cedar, geranium, or lavender, and shake the bottle. Spray the mixture all over your exposed skin and clothing before spending time outside. As an alternative, put a few drops of a tick-repelling essential oil, such as eucalyptus, onto a lint roller and take it outside with you. Every hour or so, roll the lint roller along the outside of your clothing to capture and immobilize any ticks that are crawling on you. After you’ve been outside, thoroughly check your body for ticks. If you find any on your clothing, wash your clothes in hot water and dry them on high heat to kill any ticks. Pay especially close attention to your underarms, ears, hair, belly button, and the back of your knees, as ticks often latch onto these parts of the body. Always bathe within 2 hours of coming inside to wash off any ticks that aren’t attached to you. This will also reduce your risk of getting Lyme disease.

TL;DR in English: Wear full-coverage clothing. Buy a repellant spray. Make an essential oil repellant spray. Check your body and clothing after spending time outside. Bathe immediately after spending time outside.

Applying the dye to hair that you’ve already colored can cause the color to darken and your hair to become brittle from over treatment. Start applying the product on your scalp and work your way until you reach the end of the new growth. Leave the ends of your hair untreated. Don't stress out about a little bit of overlap where the new growth ends. That hair is still fresh and won't be as porous as the hair near the ends, meaning that it won't absorb as much color. When your timer goes off and it's time to rinse, add a little water to your hair to slightly moisten the dye. However, don't remove it yet. Use your fingers to pull the color through the ends of your hair. Gently squeeze your hair to re-activate the dye, bringing it down through your ends. This works well to refresh your color when you're reapplying the same shade, but it won't darken your hair. If you want your hair darker, you'll need to leave the dye on your hair for at least 20 minutes. Use warm water to cleanse away the dye. Continue rinsing until the water runs clean. Use a color-safe conditioner to restore moisture to your hair.  Most kits include a conditioner for you to use after you dye your hair. Avoid shampooing your hair for 72-hours after dyeing. If you don't need to refresh the color on your ends and are afraid that they will darken when you do your roots, apply conditioner to the bottom of your hair so that the dye can't absorb. This will help you preserve your color on the part of your hair you want to avoid dyeing.

Greet your interviewer. Maintain good posture. Maintain good eye contact. Stay relaxed and still. Remember to smile.

This method isn't much harder than the basic "puff" fold above, but it looks incredibly elegant, making it a great choice for when you're trying to impress your friends. To start, lay your napkin flat and fold it in half. Press down on the fold to make a firm crease. Unfold the napkin. For this method, it's more important than normal to use a stiff, square cloth napkin. These sorts of napkins hold creases more easily than paper napkins, making your final "fan" shape look much sharper. In addition, if you don't use a square napkin, the dimensions of your fan may be off. Folding parallel to the crease you put in the napkin, make alternating folds from one side to the other. Aim to fit about four to six folds on each side of the central crease — the precise number doesn't matter. Press down to form creases as you go. When you're done, your folded-up napkin should be a long, skinny, "accordion-ing" strip. Note that your original crease should act as one of the folds in your "accordion". You may need to adjust the width of your folds slightly to get them to line up perfectly with the crease. Over time, this gets easier. Next, find the middle point of your accordion-ed strip and fold it over itself so that its edges line up. This should leave you with one round, folded end (probably too thick to crease at this point) and one open, fanned-out end. Now, all you need to do is put the napkin in your ring. Pull the ring up over the folded end of your napkin until it's about halfway up. Pull on the edges of the open end of your napkin to fan it out and display the accordion-ed folds. Congratulations! You're done. As usual, you can make a bold statement by simply putting this folded-up napkin in the center of your plate. You may also want to try putting the folded end in a skinny glass or champagne flute for an exotic, peacock-like arrangement.

TL;DR in English: Crease your napkin in half. Accordion-fold your napkin. Fold the accordion-ed napkin in half. Insert the folded end into your ring.

There are as many types of curators as there are types of museums - art museums, history museums, children’s museums, science museums, and a vast range of specializations in between. You will need to choose what sort of museum you want to work for in order to pursue the appropriate education.  Consider what experiences have influenced your desire to be a museum curator. Were you inspired by an Aztec history exhibit you saw on a school field trip? Do you dream of working in a place like the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Be as specific as possible. If you know you want to work in a science museum, think about what aspects of science interest you the most. Chemistry? Physics? Astronomy? The more specific your choice, the more extensively you can educate yourself in it. Many colleges offer Bachelor’s degrees in museology, or museum studies, but it’s not absolutely necessary that you choose this as your major. Museums will look for candidates with extensive education and experience in a field that is relevant to what they’re curating, such as art or history, as well as knowledge of business administration, marketing, and fundraising. Bachelor’s degrees typically take 4 years to complete, although it may take more if you choose a double major. By this time, you should have some idea of what subject you want to focus on. If you became particularly interested in African art while getting your Bachelor’s in art history, look for Master’s programs that have a focus in African art.  Look at the faculty of graduate departments as well as the programs. Who you work with can have a great impact on your education, as well as your career. Many curators find jobs through the recommendations of professors in their field, so building a good relationship with faculty is a must.  Graduate programs typically take between 1.5 and 3 years to complete. Many lower-level curatorial positions only require a Master’s, but if you want to become curator at a national museum, you’ll need a PhD. This should be in the field you wish to...

TL;DR in English: Choose your interest area. Get your Bachelor’s degree. Get a Master’s in the field you wish to specialize in. Get a PhD if you want to increase your career options.

Spoiled people expect others to fall over themselves to fulfill their needs. The possibility of not getting what they want usually doesn't cross their mind. If you ask for something and you don't get it, act incredulous, like being told “no” is absolutely unheard of. For example, open your eyes wide and say, “Seriously?!” in the most offended tone you can muster. Most spoiled people have no problem with emotional outbursts. If you don’t get what you want, slam the door or say something overly dramatic. If you want to be really childish, stomp your foot!  For instance, you might say, “If we don’t go on that cruise with our friends, I will never forgive you!” Then, storm off and slam the bedroom door. Passive-aggressive behavior can also work. For example, you might give someone the cold shoulder to “get back at them” for not giving you what you want.  Keep in mind that this behavior can really upset the other person. Don't go too far. If you get angry behind closed doors or fight about something in whispers, you might not get what you want. Raise your voice so that people around start looking in your direction. Tremble and be on the verge of tears. In fact, go ahead and burst into tears!  Humiliating someone in public to get what you want is pretty awful, but if you’re determined to act spoiled, their feelings don’t really matter. At least, not more than yours! This isn't a healthy way to behave, so don't make a habit of it. If the other person seems frightened or alarmed, you should probably give it a rest. Angry outbursts don’t work on everyone and can even have the opposite effect on some people. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t be afraid to complain, beg, or cry until they just break down and give you what you want. Try to make them feel sorry for you, or just wear them down by pleading nonstop. Pestering someone until they give you what you want is not guaranteed to work. The other person could just lose their patience or get angry with you. Say whatever you want, whenever you want. Interrupt...

TL;DR in English: React in disbelief if things don’t go your way. Get angry or lash out if you don’t get what you want. Make a scene in public until the other person caves. Whine incessantly if getting angry doesn’t work. Speak all of your thoughts with no filter. Assume that your bad behavior will be overlooked.

If the leg is obviously broken and no bones are sticking through the skin, you can splint the leg. You should only consider splinting the leg if you cannot get to the vet right away or it is a long journey to the vet. Splinting is a controversial practice because if done incorrectly, it applies pressure to the ends of the broken bone and can cause more pain for your dog. However, if done correctly, it stops the bones moving, gives them further support, and helps ease discomfort.  Be aware that handling the broken leg will be painful, so you may need to muzzle the dog to stop him from biting in self defense. Splinting works best if the fracture is below the elbow or the knee. The big muscles groups of the shoulder and hip get in the way of bandages and cause them to slip down, which can cause a problem if the break is in the humerus (upper arm) or thigh (femur). Those fractures are best left unsupported and the dog kept caged until you can get help. Make sure you have the proper materials to splint your dog's broken bone before starting. To splint limb, you need a firm straight object that is the same length as the broken bone. Household items such as a wooden spoon, wooden spatula, or ruler can be used, depending on the dog's size. You also need some gauze and self-adhesive tape. Before you place a splint on the dog’s leg, cover the area with gauze. Wrap a layer of gauze bandage firmly around the limb from the paw, up over the fracture site, and up over the joint above the fracture. Wind the gauze in a spiral fashion with each loop overlapping the previous one. Covering the area in gauze helps prevent the splint rubbing the skin and causing sores. Hold the splint over the fracture site. Wrap dressing tape around the splint and leg to tape the splint firmly in place. Now apply a spiral layer of bandage over the top of the splint, applied firmly but not tight. Finish with a layer of self-adhesive bandage. This all helps to immobilise the joints above and below the splint and hold the splint in place. Use enough...

TL;DR in English: Decide if you want to splint the leg. Gather materials. Cover the area with gauze. Wrap the splint in place. Monitor for swelling.

The most powerful punches aren't actually the fastest ones. Your arm can move more quickly than the rest of your body, so waiting for your body to catch up to a punch slows the punch down. Even though a powerful punch is a slower one, there will be moments when you have just enough time to execute a slow but extremely forceful punch. It's worth practicing punching at a slower speed so you can feel the full power that comes when you give your body time to get behind your fist.  Try punching at half speed when you're training. Force yourself to slow down and focus on using your leg muscles and torso to maximize your power. Remember where that power came from when you speed things up. While you'd never punch at half speed during a match, you can focus on using your legs and torso to generate as much power as possible. Speed is as important as power, since if you're too slow your opponent will have time to throw a lot more punches. Train with a speed bag and see how fast your arms can fly. Be sure to use the proper form and remember to keep your thumb tucked away from your knuckles as you punch.  The biggest part of the speed bag, the belly, should be hung at the same height as your nose. Hanging it too high will cause you to use improper form when you're training.  Focus on keeping the bag constantly in motion and always under your control. Start slow, alternating punching with your right and left arm. As you gain control, speed up your punching. Doing some amount of strength training is a good way to keep your body in the best shape possible, but strength training alone doesn't make you a stronger or quicker boxer. You need to train your muscles to punch by punching, not lifting weights. That said, it's a good idea to have a strength training routine that strengthens your legs and core for maximum power.  Try  deadlifts to build overall body strength in your legs, torso and arms.   Squats,  push ups, and pull ups are good exercises for building strength that translates well to better punches. The best cardio...

TL;DR in English: Practice punching slow. Practice with a speed bag. Keep your strength training in check. Do cardio exercises. Try isometric training.

This is the first time meeting your potential employer, so it's important to make a good, polite, and friendly impression. Make sure that when your interviewer comes into the room you stand up. Be sure to smile and be sure to reach out for a good, proper handshake, which should involve a firm, but not aggressive, grip and two solid shakes. Say hello, smile, and make good eye contact.  Make sure that your hand pumps are not too aggressive and that your grip is not too tight, as this can give the impression that you are needlessly controlling or a bully. Similarly, do not give a weak or totally limp handshake (sometimes referred to as a "dead fish" handshake) as this gives off the impression that you are timid, weak, and uninterested. It can also communicate that you don't really want to touch the interviewer, which is insulting. Standing or sitting tall with your head held high and your shoulders back reflects inner confidence, power, and status. Meanwhile, slouching can look anxious or sloppy. Your legs should be spread far apart and centrally balanced when standing so that you don't look like you might want to run away. While it's important not to stare and you may be shy, it's expected that you should maintain good eye contact. This shows that you're paying attention to them and not thinking about something else. Try making sure that every time you look at someone, you can take note of the color of their eyes to improve eye contact. Twitching or dancing feet, hands that don't stop moving (aka fidgeting), and making extremely wide gestures can make you come across as nervous or agitated. Try to keep your gestures while talking smaller, and particularly when you are silent remain as still as possible. Frowning communicates negative feelings, and even an unsmiling but not frowning face may indicate that you are tense or struggling. Smiling is friendly and will help you build camaraderie with your interviewer because it is contagious; it also shows that you're upbeat and happy to be present. You might even find...

TL;DR in English:


Maintain the quality of your tank water. Clean the aquarium. Monitor your betta's health.

Clothing is usually mass-produced to accommodate standard  body types. Clothes that are tailored to fit your body will accentuate or highlight curves while hiding any spots you may not like. Tailored pieces can also create curves if you aren’t naturally curvy.  In order to best accentuate your curves, your clothes should be formfitting but not tight, nip in at your waist, hug your hips, and fall loosely over your thighs and calves.  If you want to create curves on a slimmer figure, you can make your clothing tailored so it’s slightly more formfitting, but not skintight.  For example, you can have a boxy top tailored to be more form fitting and flattering to your figure by adding darts, or have wrap dresses and skirts adjusted so that they just skim your curves. Solid colors will create a slim line and color blocking, which is a way of wearing two or more solid colors, will help further accentuate your curves.  You can also use color blocking to create curves. For example, a dress that has side panels in a different color that taper in will define your waist and give you a curvier look.  Horizontal color blocking, such as wearing one color on top and another on the bottom, is a bit more subtle but will also highlight your curves. Because fabrics fall in different ways on a person’s body, choosing the right fabrics for your clothing will help accentuate or create curves.  The best options are medium-weight knits and soft fabrics that will drape well over your curves. Consider cotton with a small percentage of spandex to help the garment lightly skim your body while retaining it’s shape. If you aren’t naturally curvy, consider fabrics that have a bit more spandex to hug your body while creating curves. Small clothing embellishments and details, such as a peplum or an A-line, will accentuate or create curves by drawing the eye towards specific areas of your body.  Peplums are a good way to make your hips look curvier. The peplum should be structured and not hang loosely from the article of clothing. If you’re...

TL;DR in English: Have your clothing tailored. Wear solid colors and try color blocking. Wear the right fabrics. Choose clothing details to accentuate or create curves. Accentuate your waist. Avoid loose or oversized clothing.

You can use a yoga mat or a gymnastics mat; either way, you want a mat that is going to give your support and cushion while you attempt your headstand. Lay your yoga or gymnastic mat lengthwise in front of you.  If you are not confident enough to practice your headstand freely, you can place your mat up against the base of a wall. Anyone who has never attempted a headstand should first practice against a wall. Practicing against a wall will help you find the initial balance and strength needed to hold a free form headstand. Kneel onto your mat. Bring your upper body down to the mat so your hands are out in front of you. Your body should now look like a table, with your knees lined up with your hips and your hands about shoulder-width apart. Bring your elbows down to rest on the mat.

TL;DR in English: Position your cushioned mat. Position your body like a table top.

Spend a few days with your puppy before deciding on a name.  Play with him and see what he likes or dislikes. For example, during which activities does he wag his tail or seem excited? In which moments does he seem withdrawn? Are there particular foods he prefers? After some time, you both will be more comfortable with each other. You might draw a name from his personality traits or habits. If your dog has lots of energy, you could name him Sparky for instance. It is important to teach your puppy his name before you begin teaching commands. Having your puppy know his name will help the training process. A puppy's name should produce a quick response. Dogs respond better to short sounds. For example, ideal dog names are Bella, Buddy, or Lucky. Use a name that you will not mind repeating endlessly. Allow household members to contribute to the naming process. If you have small children, consider picking a shorter name that they can say. By having easily identifiable sounds in the name, the puppy can differentiate his name from surrounding noise. Utilize names with crisp, commanding consonants (“k” or hard “c”) like "Cocoa." Sibilant consonant or blends (“s,” “sh” or “zh”) in names like "Shadow" also help dogs hear their names. Consider names like BeeBee with distinct vowel sounds. For example, do not choose a name that rhymes with a household member's name (e.g. Jim, name: Tim), an oft-used word (No!, name: Bo), or command (Stay, name: Shay). If the name sounds too close to another word, the dog might be confused. Your dog does not understand the meaning behind his name. Instead, your puppy responds in a particular way to a certain sound.

TL;DR in English: Get to know your puppy. Choose a name with one or two syllables. Select a name with distinguishable sounds. Avoid names that rhyme with frequently used words.

For many, athletic shoes or trainers are the default choice when wearing a hoodie. This can look great, but if you want to create a particularly stylish vibe, wear it with a nice pair of shoes, like black boots, pointy-toed dress shoes or red leather booties. This particular contrast can look very polished. Be sure you stick with a streamlined hoodie that fits snugly to keep your overall silhouette looking sleek. You can even opt for a pair of statement shoes, like patent leather combat boots in a shiny blue color. Experiment with any classic dressy shoe in an eye-catching hue. An awesome pair of sunglasses can instantly make almost anything look cooler, and that includes a hoodie. Try a pair of high-end dark black cat eye sunglasses, or an oversized pair with round mirrored lenses in a fun color, like bright orange. If you have the money to spend, go for a nice pair of designer sunglasses to really amp up the style. However, you can create the same effect with a pair of more affordable sunglasses with a trendy frame. This will keep your head warm during the cold winter months while also creating a cool, street-style inspired vibe. Look for a fisherman style beanie hat in a dark neutral color, like dark gray or black. You can match it to your hoodie, or create a trendy contrast by wearing it with a hoodie in a completely different color. Keep the rest of your outfit simple to complete this look. You could also try wearing a plain hoodie with a striped knit cap or beanie to create a different kind of contrast.

TL;DR in English: Pair it with sleek shoes. Wear it with statement sunglasses. Try it with a knit cap or beanie.

Many people may already know their yearly salary, but in the event that you don’t, check your most recent pay stub. Use your gross (not net) pay—that is your amount before taxes—and multiply the number by the number of pay periods in a year.  For those on a bi-weekly schedule, you would multiply the number by 26. For those whose companies offer two scheduled paydays per month, such as the 15th and 30th/31st, you will only multiply the number by 24. For a quick rule of thumb, you can use a standard formula such as:  7.5 hours per day x 5 days per week x 52 weeks per year = 1,950 hours worked per year. 8.0 hours per day x 5 days per week x 52 weeks per year = 2,080 hours worked per year. Once you have these two numbers, you can divide your totally yearly income by your total number of yearly hours to reach an approximate hourly wage. For example, if your total income was $15,000 and your total number of hours was 2,080, then 15,000 / 2,080 = approximately $7.21 per hour.

TL;DR in English: Calculate your yearly income. Calculate how many hours you work in one year. Calculate your hourly wage.

Beyond monitoring the temperature in your betta's aquarium, you will need to maintain other aspects of the water as well.  Keep up with the following characteristics of the water in your betta's tank to help keep it healthy:  pH level can be monitored with pH strips.  These can be bought at most pet stores that sell aquariums and fish.  Keep tank water neutral, with a pH of 7. Tank water must be clean and cannot contain any chlorine.  Your pet store may have dechlorination tablets available. If possible, let your tank water sit for 24 hours before adding it to the aquarium.  This allows for gases that could potentially harm your fish to be fully released. Regular cleaning of your betta's aquarium is a mandatory part of properly caring for your fish.  How often you clean the aquarium will depend on how large your tank is.  1 gallon tanks need to be cleaned every 3 days, 2.5 gallon tanks every 5 days, and 5 gallon tanks every 7 days. Take note of the tanks temperature.  You will need to match the new water to this temperature. Scoop your fish out of the bowl and place it, along with some tank water, in a safe container. Dump all the old water out of the tank. Wash the tank and all decorations with warm water.  Wipe the inside of the tank down with a cloth or paper towel. Replace the decorations and refill the tank with clean, dechlorinated water. Raise the temperature of the tank up to the temperature that the old water was. Acclimate your fish to the bowl.  Place the container with your fish in the aquarium and over the course of five minutes, add the new tank water to the container water After your fish has acclimated, you can release it into the tank. In addition to keeping track of the temperature in your fishes' aquarium, you will need to watch for signs of illness.  These signs of illness can inform you if anything in your betta's tank needs attention.  Look for some of the following signs of common illnesses in betta fish:  Fin rot will appear as damaged, frayed, or sickly looking fins and is caused by...
