When you are alone, think about the things you’re your friend does and identify the reasons why they bother you.  Identifying these issues in the relationship will help you to work out strategies for how to cope and, hopefully, improve the relationship.  Does she often cancel plans with you at the last minute? Does she yell at you? Does she flirt with that guy that you like, even after you told her that you like him? If you have trouble identifying exactly what your friend does that bothers you so much, you may want to discuss your friend with another friend or someone else that you trust. After you have identified the things that your friend does that bother you, think about how those things make you feel. It is important to acknowledge the pain and other emotions that your friend has caused you and deal with those emotions in a healthy manner. If you refuse to acknowledge your emotions and deal with them, they may erupt in an unexpected or inappropriate manner. Confronting your friend will be difficult for you and even more difficult for him or her. Before you decide to confront the person, think about whether or not the issue is a big enough deal to require a confrontation. If you confront the person and the issue is rather minor, you may end up looking like you are nit-picking and that can cause more problems in the relationship. Not all problems are worth confronting your friend about, but you should still prepare yourself to handle common situations that you think may not be worth a confrontation. Having strategies in place can also help you to feel more in control when your mean friend says or does things that upset you.   If your friend often cancels plans with you at the last minute, make backup plans to lessen the damage of her canceling on you.   If certain topics cause your friend to make rude or insulting comments, avoid discussing those topics with him or her.

TL;DR in English: Take stock of the things that your friend does that bother you. Deal with your emotions. Determine whether or not the problem warrants a confrontation. Develop strategies for situations that do not require confrontation.

In order to solve any physics problem you must know which equation to use. Writing down all of the known information is the first step to finding the right equation. If you know values for the distance, time, and acceleration, you can use the following equation:  Initial velocity: Vi = (d / t) - [(a * t) / 2]  Understand what each symbol stands for.   Vi stands for “initial velocity”  d stands for “distance”  a stands for “acceleration”  t stands for “time” Once you have written the known information and determined the proper equation, you can fill in values for the appropriate variables. Carefully setting up each problem and writing out every step of the process is important. If you make a mistake, you can easily find it by looking back at all of your previous steps. With all of the numbers in place, use the proper order of operations to finish the problem. If you’re allowed, use a calculator to limit the number of simple math mistakes.  For example: An object accelerating west at 7 meters (23.0 ft) per second squared traveled a distance of 150 meters (492.1 ft) within 30 seconds. Calculate the initial velocity of that object.  Write the known information:  Vi = ?, d = 150 m, a = 7 m/s2, t = 30 s   Multiply the acceleration and time. a * t = 7 * 30 = 210 Divide the product by two.  (a * t) / 2 = 210 / 2 = 105 Divide the distance by the time. d / t = 150 / 30 = 5 Subtract your first quotient from the second quotient. Vi =  (d / t) - [(a * t) / 2] = 5 – 105 = -100 Vi = -100 m/s west Write your answer correctly. Include a unit of measurement, usually meters per second or m/s, as well as a direction the object was traveling in. Without providing information about the direction, you only have a measurement of speed rather than velocity.

TL;DR in English: Know the right equation to use. Fill in the known information. Solve the equation.

It is important to purchase a brand new spray bottle to use for spray bottle training. Do not just rinse out an old cleaning solution bottle. Otherwise, you could be spraying dangerous chemicals onto your cat.  Fill up the bottle with plain cold or room temperature water. Do not add any soap or other chemicals to the bottle. Just use plain water in the spray bottle. Never use the spray bottle on your cat when he is being good. Only use it when you catch him doing something he is not supposed to do. For example, if you notice that your cat is walking on the kitchen counter or scratching the sofa, then you could grab the bottle and use it on him. Don't use the bottle on him after he has already gotten down from the counter. When you spray the water at your cat, do not aim for his face. Aim for his belly or back and only spray the water bottle once. This should be enough to get your cat to stop doing what he is doing. Make sure that you praise your cat when he stops the unwanted behavior. Pet him or give him a treat for stopping. If your cat sees that you are the on spraying water at him, then he may start to distrust you or even fear you. This can be a serious problem for your relationship with your cat. If he distrusts or fears you, then he might not allow you to approach him or pet him.  To avoid trust issues between you and your cat, try to hide the spray bottle from his view. Put the spray bottle away in a cupboard after you are finished using it.

TL;DR in English: Fill a new spray bottle with plain water. Wait for your cat to do something he shouldn't. Pull the trigger to spray water at your cat. Try not to let your cat see that you are spraying him.

Depression symptoms can range from mild to moderate to severe. With mild depression, you may feel sad much of the time, or you might lack interest in activities that you once found enjoyable. In addition, mild depression will typically include a few (but usually not all) of the following symptoms:  Appetite loss or weight gain. Sleeping too much or too little. Increased agitation. Decreased movement. Low energy every day. Feeling worthless Feelings of inappropriate guilt. Difficulty concentrating. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) affects more people during the fall and winter months and may be caused by the body getting less sunlight. This may mean that the body produces less serotonin, a chemical that affects mood. Recognize the symptoms of SAD:  Increased need to sleep. Fatigue or reduced energy. Lack of concentration. Increased feeling of wanting to be alone. These symptoms typically subside in the spring and summer, but they can still produce mild depression in the winter. If you feel like you’ve got a case of the blues, it’s important to pay attention to your symptoms to determine if you’re becoming depressed. You may experience more frequent feelings or symptoms, or your symptoms may last for longer than 2 weeks. If you’re unsure about the progression of your symptoms, ask a trusted friend or family member for his/her opinion. Although your own experience and perspective is most important, it can be helpful to get someone else’s perspective on how you’re acting. A major traumatic life event, such as an unexpected death of a family member, can cause symptoms that resemble depression. But it may not be major depressive disorder. The context of the event and duration of symptoms may help, in part, to determine whether someone is experiencing grief or a major depressive disorder.  Feelings of worthlessness and thoughts of suicide are typically not present when in mourning. Positive memories of the deceased are possible during mourning and one may still gain pleasure from certain activities (for example,...

TL;DR in English: Understand the symptoms of depression. Recognize seasonal affective disorder. Pay attention when you have the blues. Pay attention to how you feel after a traumatic event. Keep track of your feelings and activities for two weeks.

When you lean in for a kiss, you shouldn't try to plant your lips on hers and ram your tongue in her mouth. Instead, be gentle and take things slowly, especially at first. You should move in to give her a soft kiss and then pause to caress her lips with yours by holding the kiss for a few seconds. You can caress the top lip and then the bottom lip, showing her that kisses really matter to you. Too many men look at kissing as a move that just leads to something else. You should treat kissing like it's a unique pleasure instead of making her think that all you want is more. As you kiss the woman, hold her face with one or more of your hands. Don't grab her face at once, but slowly ease into this gesture and make it feel natural. Then, gently place a hand on the side of her face and stroke her cheek, her ear, her hair, and the side of her face along the jawline. This will make her feel loved and will even bring its own pleasure. You shouldn't try kissing this way every single time. Instead, surprise her with this intimate gesture when the moment feels right. While you're kissing, you should try to gently touch her earlobes, the sides of her ear, and the area behind her ears. Do this slowly and gently, as you're cupping her face. You can slide your hand under her hair, and stroke her ear as you continue to kiss. A woman's earlobes don't get nearly enough attention, and most women love this.  If you're already intimate, you can also brush your lips along her ears — that will drive her wild. This is almost always a great move, but make sure you check her expression to see how she likes having her ears touched. Some women's ears are so sensitive that they prefer that you don't touch them. The neck is another place where you can never touch a woman enough. Gently stroke the sides of her neck while you're talking, kissing, or just looking at each other. You can even toss her hair back so you can caress her neck a bit more, just by running the sides of your fingers up and down her neck, down to the base of her shoulder...

TL;DR in English: Caress her lips with yours. Caress the sides of her face with your hands while you're kissing. Caress her ears. Caress her neck. Stroke her lips.

. The first step to perfect skin is to figure out a skincare routine that works for you. Everybody's skin is unique, so what works for another person may not work for you. Take a long, hard look at your skin and decide whether it's normal, sensitive, dry, oily, or a combination.  If you have normal skin, you're lucky! Your skin doesn't get oily, your pores are small, your skin tone looks even and you rarely suffer from breakouts.  Sensitive skin tend to be very reactive - it may become dry, itchy or irritated depending on the weather, your lifestyle, and the products you use.  Dry skin usually feels tight after cleansing and can suffer from roughness or flakiness, especially when exposed to cold weather or dry air. Dry skin is prone to wrinkling, and tends to have no visible pores.  Oily skin can become greasy and shiny-looking within an hour after washing. The oil may even seep through your makeup and cause it to slide off. Oily skin is prone to blemishes and breakouts, and has visible pores.  Combination skin means that your skin can be dry and oily. It might be flaky and rough around the edges, but oily along the t-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Combination skin tends to have visible pores only in the t-zone area. In addition, whether you have a light skin tone, medium skin tone or dark skin tone will also dictate what issues your skin is prone to, and should be taken into consideration when choosing skincare products. twice a day. Washing your face is super important as it cleans away dirt, oil, bacteria and traces of make-up that would otherwise be left sitting on your skin.  Stick to washing your face twice a day - once in the morning to cleanse any oil that has built up overnight, and once in the evening to remove any dirt and make-up from the day. If you don’t use makeup, you may not need to wash your face twice a day. Pin your hair back before you begin washing, to ensure that you have access to all the edges of your face. To cleanse your face, splash your face with warm water. Hot water can be too...

Hair dye that is designed for humans can have chemicals that are toxic for dogs and can harm their skin. Dogs have a different pH skin balance than humans, so avoiding human hair dye is essential to ensuring your dog’s comfort and safety. Instead, seek out alternative dyes that can be found naturally. The less synthetic the dyes, the better they will be for your dog. Do not dye your dog’s fur if they have any healing wounds or present skin irritations. Dyeing your dog’s fur will more than likely cause further irritation, and can even cause more serious infections. Be sure to check your dog’s body for nicks or healing wounds while you groom them before you begin applying the dye. Using permanent dye on your dog’s fur can cause harm as they almost always contain chemicals that can be harmful to your dog’s health. Permanent dyes can not only cause damage to your dog’s fur and skin, but pose serious health risks as your dog will be grooming themselves. There are many alternatives to dyeing your dog’s fur, from impermanent dyes to semi-permanent dyes. Edible foods, that are safe for your dog to eat, will produce light hair dyes. These dyes can be made in a variety of ways, from juicing fresh vegetables to boiling and dehydrating. However, the sugar in many fruits can also cause your dog’s fur to become sticky, and can also cause mild skin irritations. Try to stick to vegetables or fruits with low sugar contents.  Try using vegetables like carrots, beets, and spinach, or spices like turmeric.  Although fruit dyes should try and be avoided, they do often produce the most vibrant color. Try to thin or dilute any dyes made from juice to avoid skin irritation. Most dyes made from edible foods are impermanent and will begin to fade within a week. Natural food coloring can be purchased at almost any supermarket and is generally free of harmful chemicals. Some food dyes are made with artificial dyes that have been linked to negative health effects if congested on a daily basis for many years. However, these dyes should...

TL;DR in English: Avoid hair dye for humans. Look for wounds or skin irritations. Avoid using any permanent dye. Use edible foods. Try natural food coloring. Purchase dog-friendly hair dye. Consult a salon.

To help someone with attachment disorder, it’s important to understand what attachment disorder is, what causes the condition, and how the condition differs from healthy attachment. By educating yourself about the different types of attachment and the way each develops, you’ll empower yourself to better understand and support your loved one.  There are many resources available for learning about attachment theory. Web articles are easy to find and accessible to non-experts. Once you know the basics, journal articles and books can provide a deeper look at attachment theory. Some books on attachment theory include When Love Is Not Enough: A Guide to Parenting With RAD-Reactive Attachment Disorder by Nancy L. Thomas, Stand Alone by P.D. Workman, and Detachment: An Adoption Memoir by Maurice Mierau. Attachment disorders are caused by a failure to bond with a parent or primary caregiver in early childhood, usually before the age of three. There are many different potential causes for attachment disorder.  Abuse or neglect can cause attachment disorder, but so can parental depression, illness, or emotional unavailability; changes in caretakers, including adoption and foster care situations; or the hospitalization of the child.  Attachment disorder isn’t always the result of bad parenting. Sometimes the circumstances that cause attachment disorder are unavoidable. However, if the child is too young to understand what is happening, he or she may perceive the event as abandonment. Be aware that attachment issues usually start in infancy. If the caregiver does not provide an infant with comfort when they are distressed, then they may develop attachment issues. These issues can vary depending on the way that the caregiver responds to the child. Though all attachment disorders stem from feeling abandoned or uncared-for as a child, different people may exhibit different symptoms. Some people act withdrawn or angry to cope with their emotions, while others lose their sense of social inhibition but still have trouble...

TL;DR in English: Read up on attachment theory. Understand the causes of attachment disorders. Know the different types of attachment disorders.

Grilling is a common summer cooking method. The weather is nice, the sun is out and you can enjoy eating your foods outside as well.  Although grilling is a very high-heat method of cooking, if you're using an outdoor grill, the heat can dissipate into the air around you. Indoor grill pans or grill tops may heat up your whole kitchen, making your home much warmer.  These still require you to heat up your stove top to a high heat level in order to cook foods thoroughly. Grilling allows you to cook just about every type of dish or food that you'd want without having to turn on your oven.  You can do a whole chicken, make burgers, grill vegetables, make baked potatoes or even make sweet desserts like baked apples — all without turning on the stove or oven. If you don't have the luxury of an outside grill, you'll still need to use your stove to cook foods indoors. Skip the oven and only use your stove top to make any cooked foods.  You may notice a slight increase in your kitchen temperature when using the stove top, but it will be significantly less than if you turned on the oven and decided to roast a whole chicken or bake potatoes. Avoid baking or roasting foods.  These cooking methods require your oven to heat up and stay hot for extended periods of time.  This can make your house or apartment warm and more difficult to cool down. To speed up cooking time on the stove top so you can minimize how much you heat up the kitchen, try:  slicing foods into smaller pieces, using thinner or smaller cuts of meat or poultry, and covering your pan or pot to trap the heat inside. If you can, try to focus on foods and meals that are served cold or don't require any cooking (or very little cooking).  This can help keep you and your home cooler during the hot summer months.  Try sticking to foods and recipes that don't require you to turn on the oven or only need a quick cooking session on the stove top.  This can help reduce the heat dissipated into your kitchen. Chilled foods can include:  cold salads (tuna salad, chicken...

TL;DR in English: Heat up the outdoor grill. Use the stove top. Go for chilled foods and those that don't require any cooking. Keep your kitchen cool.

Conversation is not scripted. While you should be mindful with what you say, you should also improvise to continue conversation. You can try a few technique that actors use onstage to keep a scene going.  Yes...and technique. If you are worried about continuing a conversation, try not to answer questions with a “yes” or a “no.” An example of this might be -- Question: “Did you enjoy your vacation to Italy?” Answer: “Yes...and we got to eat some really great food in Rome!” This takes a simple yes/no question and turns it into more an active conversation.  Go with your gut. While second-guessing may come in handy in some situations, partaking in a conversation may not be the best area. Sometimes, it is best to go with your gut and say what is on your mind. This may not be the best solution for more loquacious speakers, but may work if you find yourself thinking too much before speaking. If you start a conversation with a compliment, or by saying something nice, your audience will be more likely to listen to what you have to say. For example:  ”Question: What did you think about the movie?” Answer: “I really liked the music. Man, I really enjoy watching movies with someone who understands my love for Sci-Fi soundtracks!” ”Question: Do you think this new implementation will work for our clients?” “Answer: “I don't think it is quite ready for launch, but I think the development team did a good job with the login code.” A common acronym “FAQ,” or “frequently asked questions,” shows that there are a common set of questions for any situation. Prepare for these FAQs if you know you're going into a situation where you may have to think quickly.  At work, you might consider what questions will be asked at a meeting on a current project or about employees. During an interview, you may be asked common questions like: “Where do you see yourself in five year” or “What do you feel are your biggest challenges.”  At family gathers, you may be asked about your job or home life. Thinking on your feet may not necessarily be...

TL;DR in English: Improvise. Be positive. Think ahead about the questions you might be asked. Listen. Stall for time.

"Short" and "review" are key words here. The executive summary is not going to be comprehensive in any way, nor will it be a substitute for the original document. An executive summary should never be longer than 10% of the original document. Shoot to have it somewhere between 5% and 10%. Most authoritative sources who write executive summaries agree that certain stylistic and structural guidelines should apply. These include:  Paragraphs should be short and concise.  Executive summaries should make sense even if you haven't read the original report. Executive summaries should be written in language that is appropriate for the target audience. An executive summary needs to clearly define a problem, whether it's supply-chain management or marketing campaigns overseas. Executive summaries, especially, need clear definitions of problems because the documents that they are based on, Requests For Proposals (RFP), are often written by technical people with a poor grasp of conceptual issues. Make sure the problem is defined in clear, understandable terms. A problem is always in need of a solution. In order to deliver a claim statement of purpose (and a reason to fund the venture), you need to present your solution so that it effectively tackles the problem. If your problem isn't clearly written, your solution is less likely to make sense. An executive summary is not an essay; it doesn't need to be long blocks of text. If they enhance understanding or make the summary more skimmable, it's okay to use:  Graphics. A well-placed graphic illustrating the precise nature of the client's problem could drive home the point of the summary. Stimulating the visual sense is often just as effective as their analytical sense. Bullets. Long lists of information can be broken down into more digestible bullets. Headings. Organize the themes of the summary, if necessary, by heading. This will help orient the reader as they dive into the summary. Jargon is the enemy of understanding. It just so happens to be popular in the business...

Go online or call the office of your nearest middle or high school to see when the next band concert, art show, or choir performance is. While going to local events may not provide financial support for the arts, it demonstrates a sense of solidarity and support for young performers. Many people feel that the arts help connect communities. Use a search engine to see what musicals, plays, concerts, or art shows are being hosted at community centers and local theatres near you. Attending different functions makes the performers feel appreciated and supported, and may encourage these artists, musicians, and actors to continue pursuing their passions. Passion for the arts isn’t limited to creative and performing careers. Future Nobel Laureates in the science field are far more likely to be passionate and involved in the arts. Check in with a manager or staff member at your favorite local eatery to see if their business will be hosting any live performances. Live shows help musicians get more recognition. Just as employee recognition causes workers to have a more positive and hardworking attitude on the job, audience support and recognition helps encourage performers to keep pursuing their passions. Check on your TV’s digital channel guide or on the website of your TV provider to see if your cable subscription offers community programming. Local television helps spread awareness of local musicians, artists, and performers, which can increase public support of community arts performances. While local television can be a grab bag of content, there’s a chance that you can support the arts by watching local concerts and other performances from the comfort of your home.

TL;DR in English: Inquire with local schools to see their performance schedules. Check online to find local shows and performances. Support live performances at restaurants and cafes. Check your TV guide for local arts programming.

Provide clear categories with subheadings and bullet points throughout the report to save time for readers who are only interested in certain aspects of the project document. Using graphs, charts, and other figures throughout your report can help demonstrate key points, reduce repetition, and provide visual interest for the reader. Label each graph and provide an easy-to-read key. Save the reader some time and place the figures alongside relevant portions of the text instead of at the end of the report. The reader will be able to easily review both the text and the chart without having flip through the pages. This is a particularly important step before distributing the project report to other departments, management, or your clients. Team members may draw your attention to important details that are missing. They may also help point out sections that are unclear and are difficult to understand. Revise the report to include contributions from team members. Use your judgment regarding which details to include. Your report should be clean, clear, and free from formatting issues and spelling and grammar mistakes. A well-organized and error-free report will reduce distractions and allow your readers to focus on the main points of your report. Reading the same document multiple times can cause you to overlook some obvious mistakes, so ask a team member to proofread the document.

It's not always easy to see how many times a two-digit number goes into a larger one. One useful trick is to round to the nearest multiple of 10 to make guessing easier. This comes in handy for smaller division problems, or for parts of a long division problem. For example, let's say we're solving 143 ÷ 27, but we don't have a good guess at how many times 27 goes into 143. Let's pretend we're solving 143 ÷ 30 instead. In our example, we can count by 30s instead of counting by 27s. Counting by 30 is pretty easy once you get the hang of it: 30, 60, 90, 120, 150.  If you find this difficult, just count by threes and add a 0 to the end. Count until you get higher than the larger number in the problem (143), then stop. We didn't hit 143 exactly, but we got two numbers close to it: 120 and 150. Let's see how many fingers we counted on to get them:  30 (one finger), 60 (two fingers), 90 (three fingers), 120 (four fingers). So 30 x four = 120. 150 (five fingers), so 30 x five = 150. 4 and 5 are the two most likely answers to our problem. Now that we have two good guesses, let's try them out on the original problem, which was 143 ÷ 27:  27 x 4 = 108 27 x 5 = 135 Since both our numbers ended up below 143, let's try getting even closer by trying one more multiplication problem:  27 x 6 = 162. This is higher than 143, so it can't be the right answer. 27 x 5 came closest without going over, so 143 ÷ 27 = 5 (plus a remainder of 8, since 143 - 135 = 8.)

TL;DR in English:


Use the appropriate tone and form. Start with the most important teachers. List other helpers. Address financial aid you might've received. Put more personal thank-yous and emotional supporters last.

Vinegar is a good deodorizer for insoles, especially if they have a strong smell. It also kills bacteria and germs. Mix one part white distilled vinegar and one part warm water together in a large bowl or in the sink. Place the insoles in the vinegar and water mixture. Let the insoles soak in the mixture for at least three hours. You can add essential oils like tea tree or pine oil to the mixture if the insoles really smell. Add a few drops of the essential oils to the mixture and let the insoles soak in the mixture. Once the insoles have soaked in the mixture, remove them and rinse them out under running water. Make sure you remove all of the vinegar-water mixture on the insoles. Place the insoles on a towel to dry overnight. You can also dry them by stacking them in a dish rack or by hanging them from a clothesline.

TL;DR in English: Mix equal parts vinegar and water. Soak the insoles in the mixture. Rinse off the insoles. Let the insoles dry overnight.

Pre-emergent herbicides act by forming a chemical layer at the surface of the soil. As crabgrass seeds germinate, they take in the herbicide, which prevents them from sprouting and ultimately kills them. This should coincide with the blooming of the forsythia. Buy an inexpensive soil thermometer if you don't know when to time your herbicide application. Always apply the herbicide along with a starter fertilizer. Fertilizer helps thicken the turf, which in turn snuffs out crabgrass seeds that weren't killed by the fertilizer. Apply a starter fertilizer along with your herbicide and you're getting more bang for your buck. As small as the print is, you will find valuable information on time of application and safety precautions. Look for herbicides that use the following active ingredients: dithiopyr, prodiamine or pendimethalin. The herbicide that you use to snuff out unwanted crabgrass is the same stuff that will lay waste to the soft, pretty grass you actually want to cultivate. That means you have to seed during one season and use herbicide during another: Seed during the early fall and use herbicide during the spring, making sure to keep a buffer of at least 50 days in between. These will kill your grass as well so only use if you have more crabgrass than lawn or thick patches of it.

TL;DR in English: Prevent crabgrass from growing in the first place with pre-emergent herbicides. Apply pre-emergent herbicides in the late winter/early spring when soil temperatures stabilize at 55°F at a depth of 4". When using herbicides, be sure to read the label carefully. Reseed or use the herbicide, but never both. Apply post-emergent herbicides in the summer, if you see crabgrass.

Grinding is a serious contributor to both clicking and pain in the jaw area. If you grind your teeth at night or while you work, consider getting a mouthguard. Your dentist can custom-fit one to your mouth, or you can get an inexpensive guard from many pharmacies and sporting goods stores. If you grind your teeth while you sleep, many pharmacies and drug stores sell mouthguards meant specifically for night time wear. Check these out, as they may be more comfortable for your sleeping hours. Habits like chewing pencils or biting your nails can irritate your jaw, contributing to TMJ clicking. Try finding new ways to occupy your hands or direct nervous energy, such as by using a stress ball. You could also consider getting metal mechanical pencils that are unpleasant to chew. Sometimes, you might not even notice that you’ve started to bite or chew. Ask a friend or coworker to let you know if they see you biting or chewing nervously. Crunchy foods including raw vegetables, chips, hard pretzels, and breakfast cereals can exacerbate jaw clicking. When possible, try to eat softer foods such as pastas, cooked vegetables, omelets, and soup. Excessively chewy foods like soft caramels can make jaw popping worse, too. Try to avoid overly chewy foods. Stress can lead to clenching or grinding your teeth, which can in turn cause or worsen jaw clicking. Try to adopt a personal stress relief program. Even small changes such as practicing deep breathing in a stressful situation can help reduce physical symptoms.  Try to take just 5 minutes a day to meditate. Sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes, and try to clear your mind. If you’re new to the practice, you may want to look up a guided meditation online to help take you through the process.  If you find a certain situation at school or work is particularly stressful, excuse yourself for a moment. Walk into a calm area, and take a few deep breaths before going back in. Taking a quick walk during your lunch break or once you get home for the day can be a great way to...

TL;DR in English: Wear a mouthguard to prevent teeth grinding. Try to stop nervous biting and chewing. Eat softer foods instead of crunchy ones. Work to reduce stress in your daily life.

Think of outside-the-box solutions for problems that you encounter. Try to see all aspects of a situation so that you can come up with solutions that no one has thought of before. Don't rest your opinions on old assumptions. Go against common trends and let your mind wander to unexpected places.  Meditate on ideas before you form an opinion or solution. You can keep a dream diary to give you more creative ideas. Whether it's a style of art or a brand of tea, quirky people are often engrossed in obscure niches. Look online for things that have a small cult following and do research on them. Engross yourself in hobbies and subjects that many people are unaware of. Unique hobbies could include beekeeping, quilting, or doll collecting. Most quirky people will be deeply invested in important causes like environmental justice, civil rights, or women's rights. Some quirky people will find even more obscure issues to educate people on. Find an issue that's important to you and let everyone around you know how passionate you are about it. Obscure issues might include saving a rare species of plant in the Amazon or demanding the return of your favorite actor in a sci-fi show. If you’re always trying to come off quirky at any cost, people may find you to be disingenuous. Most quirky people will act and dress how they want, regardless of what other people think. Do things that you truly like and wear clothes that make you feel comfortable. Don't do things just so that you can appear more quirky. Quirky people are often described as happy and energetic. Don’t be negative or judgmental. Try to maintain a positive attitude and always look at the upside of a situation rather than the downside.  For example, if you miss your train for a vacation you can say something like "Well, at least it's nice outside! We can always catch the next one."

TL;DR in English: Think creatively to solve problems or complete tasks. Develop interests in unique and obscure things. Be passionate about a few key causes. Don't act fake for the sake of being quirky. Maintain a positive attitude.

A primer is a molecule that binds to a particular sequence of DNA. Once bound, the binder can be detected to determine whether or not that sequence was present in the sample. This allows for testing of specific sequences that correspond to a certain genotype. Once you have selected a primer that binds to the sequence in question, you will need to extract DNA from the cell. Follow the appropriate extraction protocol for your lab. Once you have collected a sample, you can test it. Add the primer to the DNA sample. If the sequence corresponding to that primer is present, it will bind to the molecule. Once this is complete, you can move on to analysis. For simple cases, the results simply come back as positive or negative based on whether or not the primer was bound to the DNA strands. Some more complex methods may require post-PCR procedures. These procedures can be lengthy and expensive, and are avoided when possible.

TL;DR in English: Select a primer. Collect a DNA sample. Add the primer to the sample. Analyze the results.

The acknowledgment page is a common feature at the end of a formal thesis or dissertation, and it can be difficult to know how to include a bit of personal writing at the end of a technical project. It would be strange to follow up your epoch-shattering cancer research study with "Shout out to D-Nuts for the sick waffles he brought me in the lab that one time." Make your acknowledgment page professional, brief and more informal than the rest of your text, but also specific to the people who helped you along the way.  The acknowledgment page can either be a list or a more fluid paragraph. It would be fine to write, "I would like to thank Professor Henderson, Dr. Matthews, etc." until you've worked your way through the list. It would also be perfectly acceptable to address each person individually and more personally: "I would like to thank Professor Henderson for her expert advice and encouragement throughout this difficult project, as well as Dr. Matthews for his brilliance in the lab."  Some people feel uncomfortable emphasizing certain people's help over other people's help, in which case the list form in alphabetical order is a perfectly acceptable method of writing an Acknowledgment. In general, the most important person to thank in the acknowledgment is your thesis advisor or major professor overseeing your project, followed by any members of the thesis committee and other supervising academics directly involved with your project.  In general, it's helpful to think in groups, even going to far as to format all the thank-yous of a particular group in a single sentence: "I would like to thank Dr. Stevens, Dr. Smith, and Professors Clemons for their extraordinary support in this thesis process." If you worked with a small committee, it's customary and thoughtful to thank each person for the specific things they contributed to your work. This might include lab assistants, or anyone who helped you with coursework or contributed to the project itself in any way. Other classmates who you feel like contributed...

TL;DR in English:


Choose a one or two-piece Al-Amira scarf. Arrange the folds in a comfortable fashion.

When you get a new product, such as a chemical peel or even just a facial cleanser, it's important to patch test it first, especially if you have sensitive skin. Patch testing just means you use a small amount on part of your skin to see how you react.  In other words, you don't want to rub something all over your face or body and break out in hives everywhere. It's best to limit the area at first.  You should also skin test other products, such as shampoos, conditioner, and hair dyes. Basically, if you have sensitive skin, you should skin test any product that comes in contact with your skin. Your inner arm is a good place to test because generally that skin is fairly sensitive. In addition, it won't be too noticeable if you do have a reaction.  If the product burns or causes an immediate reaction, wash it off as quickly as possible. If it's a product such as lotion, leave it on your skin. If it's a product like a chemical peel that's meant to be rinsed off, rinse it off at the appropriate time. Wait a full day to see if you have a reaction to the product. A reaction could be your skin turning red, welting up, or showing a rash. You could also have scaliness or oozing skin. Another symptom is itchiness. Next, move to skin testing a more sensitive area. This time, pick a place where the product will be used. For instance, if you are using a facial cleanser, try it just under your ear in a small spot. The reason you need to test it again is because it may affect a more sensitive area of skin even if it doesn't affect your arm. Once again, wait for a full day to see if your skin reacts to the product. If it doesn't, you should be fine to use it.

TL;DR in English: Understand product skin testing. Put a small amount on your inner arm. Wait for 24 hours. Test a more sensitive area. Wait another day.

The attic is used for long term storage and is a place that few people go on a regular basis. Hide the item somewhere easy for you to access, but out of plain view in case someone needs to move something to or from the attic. Valuable items are found in attics all the time, and there’s a reason for that – people rarely have reason to enter the attic!   Put the item in a garbage bag and cover it with old clothes you no longer want to better camouflage the item. Labeling the bag can help add to the disguise. For example, writing "Christmas decorations" on the bag will prevent the bag from being examined until the appropriate time of the year. Hide something at a friend’s house if they have more space to spare, or there is no danger of getting them in trouble for doing so. For example, if your parents frown on junk food or soda, a friend’s place makes the perfect stash spot.  Make sure your stuff gets hidden properly or marked appropriately as yours. You don’t want someone to take your stuff. Your parents might not approve of this idea, especially if the safe is in plain sight.  You can store the safe in the attic or somewhere else hidden to keep your parents from being suspicious.   A mini fridge for your room might can serve the same purpose as a safe and will look much less out of place if you keep it in plain sight. Look for a mini fridge that comes with a locking mechanism to keep just anyone from checking out your fridge. Safes and mini fridges can also be camouflaged. Tape some cardboard around the safe to create the illusion that the safe is simply a storage box full of your things. . This is a fun way to hide things that is particularly effective if you do a lot of reading. Make sure it's a book that fits your reading habits.  Keep an actual copy of the book you hollowed out in case your parents or siblings ever want to actually borrow that book. This same technique works with items such as old VHS tapes or DVD cases. Throw them in a box of old tapes or other junk to complete the look. Several websites...

TL;DR in English: Use the attic. Get a friend’s help. Buy a portable safe. Hollow out a book Hide your things outside.

This is your first step towards completing your essay quickly. You will want to make sure your surroundings are comfortable, and that you have all the tools that you will need (computer, paper, etc.) easily accessible. Make sure that the atmosphere is right for you. If you work best in silence, head to the library. If you need a little background noise, try music or working in a coffee shop. A successful essay will have a clear focus, so it is important that you clearly define the topic of your essay. It is easier to write about something that interests you, so if at all possible, try to tailor the topic of your essay to something that appeals to your curiosity. For a two-page essay, it's important to choose a narrow topic so that you can adequately discuss it in a short space.  If your instructor has given you a clear prompt, decide now how you will approach the question. For example, if the given assignment is "Write an essay on the women's movement. Was it successful?", you will need to decide which side you are going to take. Once you narrow your focus, your essay will be much easier to organize. If you have a much broader assignment, it will be up to you to focus your topic. For example, if your assignment is "Write about something that interests you", you will not want to make the topic of your essay "Sports," especially for a short two-page essay. Choose a very specific topic, such as "Tailgating in the American South." Make sure that you understand the assigned topic. For example, if you are writing an essay for an English literature class about the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, make sure that you have thoroughly read the book. Think about what you know about the topic. If you need to do any additional research, this is the time. It's unlikely that you will need further research for a two-page paper, but if you aren't sure about the requirements, ask your teacher. If you have notes that you have made while researching the topic, make sure they are organized. Put them in an order that makes sense to you...

TL;DR in English: Make sure that you are ready to write. Choose your topic. Know your subject. Organize your materials. Organize your thoughts.

People may envy those who are charismatic by nature. One key aspect to charisma is positivity. If you exude positive energy, people will be more drawn to you.  Try to go into any situation with a positive attitude. Hope for the best at school, work, social situations, and other aspects of your life. Surround yourself with other positive people. You do not want to be around anyone who's going to drain you emotionally.  Engage in positive self-talk. If you screw something up at work, think, "This is an opportunity to grow" instead of "I'm so mad at myself for failing." People tend to envy those who are comfortable with themselves and their interests. This can also make you look more charismatic. Try not to fake interest or enthusiasm. Do not appear shameful of your own interests, moods, and passions. Be upfront with others. Showcase your unique sense of humor and style. Express your interests and opinions without shame. People will be drawn to you naturally if you give off a sense of authenticity. Confidence is enviable, and it can help build your charisma. If you don't already have a good self-image, take steps to work on feeling good about yourself.  If there's an area in your life you would like to improve, work on it. This may help improve your confidence. If you're insecure about your body, for example, try working out and eating healthier. Take action in your life. If you're more proactive, you'll feel better about yourself. Talk to someone you think is attractive at the bar. Approach someone at a networking event.  Speak more assertively. This can help you feel confident. Avoid "ums" and "uhs." Simply cut to your point. It's a small thing, but it can go a long way. Work on smiling throughout the day. Smile at co-workers at the water cooler. Smile at people you make eye contact with on the street. This can make you look happy and charismatic, which may spurn envy in others. Enthusiasm can help boost your energy. It can also boost the energy of those around you. Being enthusiastic throughout the day can...

TL;DR in English: Give off positive energy. Be authentic. Work on building your confidence. Smile. Have enthusiasm.

You can always grab your average cereal bowl, but there are other options. If you've woken up with a voracious appetite, you may want to find the biggest bowl you can. Big mixing bowls can do the trick. If you're not particularly starving, you can use a tinier bowl, such as the ones used for side salads. Feel free to get creative and use coffee mugs, Tupperware, or other containers to eat your cereal. Don't feel confined to the bowl. The spoon you choose can have a big effect on your cereal eating experience. A smaller spoon means smaller bites, so it will take you longer to eat your cereal. Eating slowly can help prevent overeating, so a small spoon is great for anyone on a diet or just trying to eat lightly. On the contrary, a bigger spoon means bigger bites. If you're hungry and ready to shovel in some cereal, grab a big spoon. For a more formal cereal experience, set your place at your dining room or kitchen table. You can use a placemat, put a napkin in your lap, and “enjoy” a proper meal. For a more relaxed breakfast, eat your cereal in front of the television, while you're at the computer, or even in bed! If you're really crunched for time, pour your cereal and milk into a travel mug. Bring a plastic spoon and eat your cereal while you're in the car, on a bus, or walking to school.

TL;DR in English: Select your bowl. Pick your spoon. Choose a dining spot.

The one-piece version is made with a hole in the middle, so you can easily slip it over your head. The two piece version also includes an underscarf for extra coverage on your head. Make sure it's securely in place and won't fall off.

TL;DR in English:

In the middle of the table, place however many spoons is one less than the number of players you have. For example, if you're playing with 6 people, use 5 spoons. Have the dealer keep the deck next to them. The person to the right of the dealer, however, should put one of their cards down on the table to start the discard pile, while the dealer picks up a new card. You do not have to exchange cards with the card you are given, if you do not want to. Instead, just pass the card you received on to the player to your left. Each round the dealer should pick up a new card and the person to their right should add to the discard pile, so as to have a continuous influx of new cards. All players continue to circulate cards. It usually goes pretty quickly, and can be tough to keep track of! This is intentional, and makes the game more fun. all 4 aces or all 4 nines) has to pick up a spoon. Following this, all other players need to do the same, with the slowest person left without a spoon and out of the game. It can be easy to get caught up in trying to get your own four of a kind — try to pay attention to other people's movements as well as your hand. So if the first round had 6 players and 5 spoons, the second round would consist of 5 players and 4 spoons. Continue playing until you're left with a single person, who is the winner.

TL;DR in English: Count your players. Shuffle a standard 52-card deck and deal 4 cards to each person. Have everyone take one of their cards and discard it to their left simultaneously. Repeat this process of everyone passing to the left. The first person to have 4 of a kind (e.g. Make sure to grab a spoon as soon as you notice one missing. Remove a spoon every time you remove a player from the game.

With the common cold, as with most every other illness, proper hydration is key to the body’s fighting abilities.  Dehydration will only add further complications for your body to deal with, and lessen its capacity for battling the cold.  Generally speaking, drinking plain old water is the best way to hydrate when you have a cold (or anytime for that matter).  The traditional recommendation is eight, 8-ounce glasses of water per day, but it is very difficult to drink too much water.  When you have a cold, you may also want to try electrolyte drinks (such as sports drinks).  This is more important when you are actively losing fluids due to an illness, but it may also be beneficial in this case as well. We all know the discomfort of the scratchy throat and stuffy nose that usually accompany the common cold.  Thankfully, there are simple home remedies that can help provide some relief.  Try gargling and spitting with tepid or warm salted water.  This can help soothe the throat irritation caused by inflammation, and the antibacterial properties of the saline solution may aid in your battle against germs.  Some people like to use a Neti pot or similar device to irrigate the nasal passages with salted water, but you can also achieve a similar decongestant effect with saline nasal sprays. Try a hot shower, a steam, or some other source of warm, moist air.  Humid air helps open breathing passages and can assist in soothing irritation.  Even a room humidifier will offer some benefit. Not all "tried-and-true" remedies have stood the test of time based on scientific evidence, but others do seem to have legitimate reasons for success in treating cold symptoms.  Prepare chicken soup. This old wives’ tale has some scientific basis to back it up. The combination of broth, vegetables and chicken seems to inhibit part of your immune system response that creates respiratory symptoms.  In addition, the hot broth reduces mucus and improves your hydration.  Substitute green, echinacea and herbal teas for coffee. You should drink...

TL;DR in English: Stay hydrated. Rely on salt and steam for relief. Try Grandma's remedies.

After an infection is diagnosed, your doctor will recommend you take a variety of drugs to suppress stomach acid. Triple antibiotic therapy is the first line treatment for H. Pylori.  The regimen most commonly employed for first line treatment include a proton pump inhibitor and two antibiotics for coverage against the bacteria. Treatment should last 14 days. Your doctor will recommend which particular drugs are best for you based on your medical history and current condition.  Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are a range of drugs that stop acid production in the stomach. Your doctor may prescribe these drugs if excessive stomach acid is causing you pain. Histamine (H-2) blockers can also block acid production by stopping the production of a substance called histamine. Histamine can trigger acid production in the stomach. Bismuth subsalicylate, sold commercially as Pepto-Bismol, can coat stomach ulcers and can reduce pain. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully in regards to which drugs he recommends. If you are on any existing medication, make sure to ask whether your current meds will interact with medication used to treat H. Pylori. Your doctor will want to make sure treatment of your H. Pylori was successful. He or she will probably want to do another round of testing about four weeks after your treatment. In the event treatment was unsuccessful, you may undergo a second round of treatment and be prescribed antibiotics. Usually the second round of testing includes upper endoscopy, fecal antigen test, or urease breath test for confirmation of eradication. You may want to be regularly screened for H. Pylori if you have a high risk of stomach cancer. An H. Pylori infection may increase your risk of developing stomach cancer. Discuss your concerns with your doctor and she will decide if regular screening for H. Pylori is right for you.

TL;DR in English: Take drugs to suppress acid. Continue testing throughout treatment. Talk to your doctor about whether regular screenings are right for you.

Whether you’re picking your date up or taking separate cars, make sure to arrive at the time you agreed upon. If possible, show up a couple of minutes early. Though being tardy by a minute or 2 will not make a huge difference, anything more will start your date off on the wrong foot. If you think you will be late for reasons outside of your control, such as slow traffic, let your date know via text message. To make a good first impression, be kind to your date and everybody else you interact with. Do your best to stay positive throughout the night and, if you get angry or sad, do your best not to show it. Avoid saying anything cruel even if you mean it as a joke since it will make you appear rude and unkind.  You don’t have to follow a specific set of etiquette rules, just avoid doing things that make you look mean. If you’re at a restaurant, make sure to use good table manners when eating. To avoid coming off as callous, be polite to your server and leave a generous tip. If you’re going to a place that serves alcohol, don’t drink more than you can handle. Getting drunk is the easiest way to ensure your date never calls back. A first date is all about getting to know each other, so try to be as open and honest as possible. Putting on a face will only lead to further problems down the road, so use your conversations as a way to show your date who you really are.  Though you shouldn’t try to be someone you’re not, save sensitive subjects like your sexual desires, previous relationships, and personal struggles for a later time. Though most people consider religious and political topics off-limits, they may be worth bringing up if you think it could be a problem down the road. To see if you truly click with your date, try asking them questions about the thing they care about most: themselves. Not only will this teach you more about who they are, but it will keep you from coming off as self-centered. Make sure to actually listen to what they say and respond appropriately. Some good things to ask about include: ...

TL;DR in English: Show up on time. Be kind and polite to your date. Communicate openly and honestly. Ask your date questions about their life. Don’t be afraid to flirt. Offer to pay for the date. End the night Follow up with your date the next day.

An acronym can help you remember the names of the months. An acronym is a memory device in which you make up a word or sentence using the first letter in a group of terms you must memorize. This can easily be used to help you remember the days in each month.  The first letter of September, April, June, and November are S, A, J, and N. You could make a sentence like, "Sarah And June Nap." January, March, May, July, August, October, and December all have 31 days. The first letters (D, J, M, M, O, J, and A) can make: "Justin Must Make Diced Apricot Orange Jam." Mnemonic devices help you remember complicated information by associating an image with information. For example, if you want to remember that February has 28 days most years, picture hearts forming the numbers 2 and 8. Hearts are related to February because of Valentine's Day. If you can find ways to make connections between which months have which number of days, it can be easier to remember. Facts are easier to remember if you can make some connection.  For example, September, April, June, and November all have 30 days and beginnings. School begins in September; spring starts in April and summer starts in June. The day after Thanksgiving in November is the beginning of the Christmas season. You may not be able to link all the months with 31 days, since there are so many, but you can still find small connections between small groups of months. For example, January is harsh and cold, while March is dreary and rainy. October contains Halloween, a frightening holiday. All these months have certain qualities that are scary, fierce, or harsh.

TL;DR in English:


Don't break up with your partner by text, phone or email. Don't place blame solely on the other person for the breakup. Don't lead your ex on. Don't be a blabbermouth. Don't be petty.

Before attempting any removal, rinse the hook and the appendage with clean water to remove any debris from the hook and the wound area. Carefully push the hook through your finger, toe, etc. until it pushes through the other side. It hurts, but it's better than ripping it out the way it came. If the barb has not fully entered the skin, just pull the hook out carefully. It will hurt, but what do you expect? You have a fishhook in your hand. Take a pair of wire cutters and cut the barb off the hook. This will help you remove the hook without sustaining further damage to the affected area. This will hurt, but it is still way better than ripping the hook out. You want to minimize the amount of damage the hook does to your skin. If the wound is bleeding heavily, apply pressure to the wound until the bleeding slows down or stops. This may take several minutes to half an hour. If the bleeding has not slowed down in that period of time, you may need to seek medical assistance. If you have access to non-stick gauze or non-adherent bandage, apply them to the wound. These can help stop the bleeding without sticking.

TL;DR in English: Clean the area. Push the hook through. Cut the barb. Pull out the remainder of the hook. Stop the bleeding.

Seal the container and find an out of the way place to store it. By the time you wake up the following morning, the baking soda should have locked in the strongest odors.  For best results, the baking soda should be allowed to do its thing for at least 6–8 hours. Baking soda is one of the simplest solutions for persistent odors, as it doesn't require any scrubbing, wiping or washing.

TL;DR in English: Let the insoles sit overnight.

That way, if one of them breaks open during shipment, the beer will stay in the plastic bag instead of soaking through the box. Before you seal the bags shut, press out the excess air using your hands. If you're shipping a pack of beer, like a 6-pack, remove all the beers from the pack and bag them individually. The bubble wrap strips should be about 1 foot (30 cm) wide. You can find a roll of bubble wrap at your local packaging store. To roll up the beers, grab one of the plastic bags with a beer in it and lay it on top of a bubble wrap strip. The long side of the beer should be lined up with one of the ends of the strip. Then, grab the edge of the bubble wrap that the beer is next to and roll the beer and bubble wrap down the length of the strip. When you reach the end, wrap 2-3 rubber bands around the bubble wrap and beer to hold the bubble wrap in place. Repeat with all of the beers.

TL;DR in English: Put each bottle or can in its own gallon-size sealable plastic bag. Cut a 2 foot (61 cm) strip of bubble wrap for each beer. Roll each beer up in a bubble wrap strip.

Enjoy the flavors of rum when heated in this simple drink. Use a variety of fresh spices and butter to add a rich flavor to the rum.  Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves with butter. Put in a mug with 3  fl oz (89 mL) of dark rum and fill up with hot water.  Try a creamy variation of this drink by adding heated milk to the mixture instead of or in addition to the water. Brew your favorite coffee drink or classic hot cocoa, then add 1–2  fl oz (30–59 mL) of rum for a boozy twist.  Use a hot chocolate packet, or make your own by heating whole milk and adding rum and bittersweet chocolate or cocoa powder.  Add rum to any freshly brewed strong coffee, including espresso drinks like an Americano or latte. Sweeten to taste with sugar or your sweetener of choice. Use rum to make a traditional hot toddy. Add honey and spices to this classic warming drink with medicinal origins.  Put 1  fl oz (30 mL) of a spiced rum, 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of honey, and a quarter of a lemon in a mug, then fill it with hot water and stir to melt the honey. Add cinnamon sugar to taste.  Substitute spiced rum for a gold or dark rum if you wish, and add more of your own fresh spices and garnishes if you wish, like orange peel.

TL;DR in English: Try hot buttered rum. Add rum to hot chocolate or coffee. Make a rum hot toddy.

If you have to fly into Italy to start your trip, you'll need to plan ahead to get the cheapest tickets. You can put an email alert on most travel sites so you know when the price drops.  Buying your ticket at least two months in advance will save you lots of money. Avoid summer travel if you can. The weather will be cooler and tickets will be much cheaper. Fly into a smaller city or airport rather than a large one. For example, if you want to fly into Rome, try booking a flight into Ciampino Airport instead of the big Leonardo da Vinci Airport. Flights in the middle of the week are usually cheaper than weekend flights. Once you know your travel dates, buy a travel insurance policy. Your existing health insurance won’t work abroad in most cases, and your home or auto insurance doesn’t protect you against theft abroad. Talk to your insurance agent about adding a travel policy temporarily. You’ll need a strong, sturdy backpack if you plan to travel out of it for awhile. Most people like to get a bag that is about the size of their torso and has multiple storage pockets. Check to make sure that it has padded shoulder straps and that it’s made of sturdy material. Try going to a hiking or camping supply store to test out backpacks. The staff can help you fit it properly, which can save you a lot of pain and blisters later. Make sure you’re prepared for the weather when you arrive. Italy is mostly temperate, but if you’re traveling in the winter or summer, you’ll need seasonally-appropriate clothes. Check the climate patterns for your area and season before you start packing. When you pack, be sure to leave lots of room for souvenirs! You should leave for Italy with a bag that’s about 3/4 full. Focus on the necessities only. Pack wrinkle-resistant clothes you can wear repeatedly, any medications you need, a basic set of travel toiletries, and your ID and personal paperwork.  Hostels don't always provide linens, so bring a towel and a sheet. If you're coming from outside the European Union, you’ll need an adapter...

TL;DR in English: Wait for cheap plane tickets. Buy travel insurance. Buy a backpack. Check the weather. Pack your bag. Research travel options within Italy. Look for free or cheap accommodations. Buy museum and event tickets in advance. Check for people you know in Italy.

This is disrespectful, and for your soon-to-be ex, it can feel like you're being evasive. Have the decency to do it privately and in person. You might not realize it, but there are benefits to ending a relationship in person. For one thing, it gives both people a chance to talk and reflect on the situation. And even though it will be harder to do, it will most likely lead to less drama, which is a good thing. Things are never that simple. Be prepared to discuss your relationship without pointing your finger.  You can probably find bad things about your relationship that you contributed to, if you really wanted. In an effort to be fair, and to not have your ex-girlfriend feel like she is directly responsible for the end of the relationship, be sure to mention the things that you could have changed to make the relationship better. In some cases, the blame will be solely on the other person. In those situations, it's okay to tell it like it is. If your girlfriend is cheating, abusing drugs, manipulative, or increasingly disrespecting you, you can lay the blame directly on her actions. In most cases, this can cause an argument, so be prepared. The upside is that you're being honest with both yourself and her why the relationship didn't work, leaving you both with a better chance of finding lasting love later on. Isn't that what you both want? If you don't want to be friends afterward, don't leave the door open for that possibility. Find a nice way to say it. Instead of "Oh yeah, and I don't want to stay friends afterwards, just so you know," try something like "You know that I care for you. I just don't think it will be healthy for either of us to stay friends immediately after we break up. Hopefully sometime down the road, when we've both figured stuff out, we can get to that place." Use discretion when telling mutual friends about your break up. Bragging or gossiping could be very hurtful to someone who may already be in a fragile emotional state. On top of that, it could encourage your ex to sling some nasty...

No one else knows your motivation to open this business, so you need to make sure that you know why you want to do this. If you lose sight of why you are doing this, there is a possibility of failure.  Why did I choose to open a dance studio? What do I want to achieve by opening a dance studio? Who do I hope to help? Why does my community need this dance studio? What am I going to do to set my dance studio apart from other studios in my area? Many new studios fail because they do not control their budget and end up in debt. Be sure to frequently check your budget and know how much you can spend on different start-up costs.  I had to spend more in electrical repairs to make sure the studio was up to code, so where can I make some sacrifices in another part of the budget? I do not have enough money saved up myself to fund this dance studio. How can I get the rest of the start-up costs funded? It seems like I am spreading my money too thinly. What equipment or renovations can I cut out for now so that the important elements of my studio, such as the flooring and safety, are better quality? I do not have enough money to buy new flooring for every room of the dance studio. What rooms and type of flooring should I prioritize right now? I was able to get all start-up costs funded, and I have extra money leftover in my budget! How can I save that money and put it toward other studio needs, such as future rent payments or repairs? While you are going through with finding a studio space, renovating and readying it, and getting your marketing strategies going, you might be tempted to take on more tasks. It is best to stick to your plan to not overwhelm yourself and your resources. These additional things can be done at a later, more advantageous time.  Avoid buying additional equipment that is not necessary for the studio to function right now. Avoid taking on additional repairs or renovations that are not necessary for the studio space to be up to code and open to welcome customers. Avoid comparing your dance studio to...

TL;DR in English: Know why you are starting a dance studio. Understand your budget and maintain it. Stick to your start-up plan. Communicate with your stakeholders. Build relationships with your employees.

Use a time-tracking computer app, such as Rescue Time, to understand how you’re spending your time online. You might be losing a lot of hours you could be studying chatting with guys. Keep track of your time to make sure you’re spending enough time on your schoolwork. An hourly study target can help you sideline boy distractions. Consult your planner and prioritize the assignments for the coming week. Use the distraction-free time when everyone else is consumed with a party to get a head start on the most difficult tasks. Doing this will make your school week easier, as you’ll have gotten the most difficult work out of the way. In the evenings, take 5 minutes to set an academic goal for the next day. It may be reading 3 chapters of your history lesson, understanding a hard math problem, or talking with your teacher about your writing skills. Naming a concrete thing you’d like to achieve keeps your attention focused on the goal rather than on boys. It may help to write your goal down in your day planner to keep it at the top of your mind. You can refer back to it when you’re feeling distracted. While setting small goals can keep you going from day to day, you need a bigger purpose to keep you motivated about school. Whether you’ll be the first in your family to attend college or you have a particular job in mind, think about some long-term achievements your studies are building towards. Staying connected to your dreams will make it easier to ignore the background drama of boys, dances, and crushes. Focusing on school is easier when you know you’ll get a break to indulge in your boy-craziness occasionally. You might reward yourself with social time when you hit an academic goal. Find a way of being social that works for you and helps you achieve balance with your studies.  For example, you might make a deal with yourself that you can go to a dance if you finish your social studies paper early. You may even work harder on your paper because you really want to go to the dance. Remember that most high school...

TL;DR in English: Track how you spend your time for more balance. Plan for the week ahead on the weekend instead of going to parties. Set a goal for school every day. Set long-term goals to stay motivated. Set aside time to be social.

Most of the time, the camera app icon can be found on the home screen. If you cannot find the camera-shaped icon there, simply launch the app drawer, usually located at the lower right of the dock. Look for the camera app among the numerous apps in there. On the settings panel located at one of the corners of the screen, you will see some icons displayed. Look for the thunder shaped icon to enable/disable the flash feature. Tap on it to choose from On or Off. Tap on the subject you would like to capture to focus the camera on it. Tap on the shutter button located at the middle of the right/left side of the screen to capture. Make sure to be motionless because moving may create blurs on your image. If you want to view the image you just took, simply touch the small icon at the upper left (landscape/horizontal) or lower left (portrait/vertical) of the screen.

Ideally, you should buy directly from a nursery, as you’ll usually get a better quality product. However, it’s also possible to grow trees from seeds bought in a grocery store. If you do this, make sure they are not salted or roasted. Otherwise they won’t germinate and will be useless for growing your own pistachios. You should be able to buy raw pistachios seeds from health food stores and some grocery stores.  Keep in mind that pistachio trees are unisex (either male or female) and you won’t know the sex until the tree is first supposed to bear fruit, seven to eight years into its life. Female pistachio trees are the only ones that will have fruit, but they need a male tree to fertilize them. As such, you should plant multiple trees to maximize your chances of having both female and male trees.  If you purchase a grafted sapling or a cutting, you can determine the sex of your tree by the sex of the parent tree. They will be the same. Fold up a standard paper towel until it’s just small enough to fit in the sandwich bag. Slide it into the bag. Using a mug or measuring cup, add just enough water to moisten the paper towel. The exact amount of water you use will vary depending on the absorbency of your paper towel. Don’t put too many seeds in the same baggie; about five seeds should do. Ideally, you should use a resealable sandwich bag. Using plastic bags with holes in them or an improper seal will hinder the germination of your pistachio seeds. Seal the bag once the seeds have been added.  Once you’ve put the seeds in, you should be ready to wait at least a week for the seeds to germinate. Keep the plastic baggie at room temperature, in a location where it won’t be disturbed by children or pets. The sprouts will look like small green strands and should eventually burst from the seeds. As soon as you see these, you should transfer each seed over to a plastic party cup filled with soil. Make sure to drill a hole at the bottom of the cups for proper drainage. Water them just enough to keep the soil damp; too...

TL;DR in English: Buy raw pistachio seeds. Place a damp paper towel in a plastic baggie. Add the pistachio seeds to the plastic baggie. Transplant the seeds when you see sprouts. Consider buying a grafted tree in lieu of seeds.

There are plenty of recordings that feature a Jew’s harp. It is typically used in old time folk and country music, but it is native to eastern European folk music. Listen to these popular recordings featuring a Jew’s harp:  We’re Allowed by The Odd Tones Bumblebees Can Fly by Gorgon Frazier Mouthing Off by Wayland Harman Search through the internet for a wide range of different players with unique styles.  Watch the videos with your Jew’s harp in hand to try out new techniques. Videos of other players can inspire you to become a better harpist. Youtube.com has plenty of videos by pros and amateurs. There are even how to videos that can help improve your sound. A common reason for a lack in interest in playing a Jew’s harp is playing a cheap harp. The popular Snoopy’s mouth harps may be cheap and the most accessible, but they don’t sound good. Spend an extra ten dollars on a better Jew’s harp. Some harps are even sold by the key like A, C or D.

TL;DR in English: Seek out recordings. Watch videos. Purchase a good Jew’s harp.

Don’t talk about exes or other sensitive topics, at least in the beginning. Refrain from having too much to drink when you’re with her. Stay relaxed to maintain your confidence and avoid being too nervous.

Make sure your shoes are completely dry before you store them.  It will be easier for dirt to stick to your shoes if they are wet.  Moisture can also weaken the fibers in shoes causing them to become weaker and lose their shape. Don’t leave your shoes out in the open.  If you leave them out, people might step on them or even spill things on them.  Keep them in their shoebox until you are ready to wear them. If you don’t have the box your shoes came in, you can place them on a shoe rack that is away from people. Make sure you store your shoes in a cool place.  Heat can cause discoloration in white shoes.  If you have a shoe closet, keep your white shoes as far away from the light bulb as you can. Too much sunlight can cause your shoes to become yellow.  If you plan on wearing them outside, a little sun is unavoidable, but never leave your shoes out in the sun.  If you have to take your shoes off to go swimming, rent a locker to protect them.  At the very least, leave them under a chair or table. If you know you’ll be at an outside event all day, it may be wise to wear a different pair of shoes.

TL;DR in English: Let your shoes dry completely. Keep your shoes in the box. Keep your shoes cool. Keep your shoes out of the sun.

Each time you use your electronic toothbrush, rinse the head under running water. Get out any traces of toothpaste from your brush after each use. This will keep it clean on a daily basis. Some people advocate storing your toothbrush in mouthwash or another disinfectant solution. This is unnecessary and it can also lead to contamination if multiple people share the same solution. Store your toothbrush in a toothbrush stand or an empty glass instead. The heads of electric toothbrushes are replaceable. Every three to four months, replace your toothbrush's head. Even with regular cleaning, a toothbrush's head will need to be replaced periodically. When a toothbrush's bristles begin to look worn and splayed, it's time to replace the toothbrush's head. Avoid storing your toothbrush in closed containers. This does not actually protect your toothbrush from bacteria. In fact, the increased humidity can increase your toothbrush's exposure to bacteria. Instead, store your toothbrush in an open container in your bathroom.

TL;DR in English: Rinse your toothbrush head after each use. Do not soak toothbrushes in disinfectant solutions. Replace toothbrush heads regularly. Store your toothbrush in open containers.

There are specific questions your abstract must provide answers for, but the answers must be kept in order as well. Ideally, it should mimic the overall format of your essay, with a general ‘introduction, ‘body,’ and ‘conclusion.’ Many journals have specific style guides for abstracts. If you’ve been given a set of rules or guidelines, follow them to the letter. Unlike a topic paragraph, which may be intentionally vague, an abstract should provide a helpful explanation of your paper and your research. Word your abstract so that the reader knows exactly what you’re talking about, and isn’t left hanging with ambiguous references or phrases.  Avoid using direct acronyms or abbreviations in the abstract, as these will need to be explained in order to make sense to the reader. That uses up precious writing room, and should generally be avoided. If your topic is about something well-known enough, you can reference the names of people or places that your paper focuses on. Don’t include tables, figures, sources, or long quotations in your abstract. These take up too much room and usually aren’t what your readers want from an abstract anyway. Your abstract is a summary, yes, but it should be written completely separate from your paper. Don't copy and paste direct quotes from yourself, and avoid simply paraphrasing your own sentences from elsewhere in your writing. Write your abstract using completely new vocabulary and phrases to keep it interesting and redundancy-free. If your abstract is to be published in a journal, you want people to be able to find it easily. In order to do so, readers will search for certain queries on online databases in hopes that papers, like yours, will show up. Try to use 5-10 important words or phrases key to your research in your abstract. For example, if you’re writing a paper on the cultural differences in perceptions of schizophrenia, be sure to use words like “schizophrenia,” “cross-cultural,” “culture-bound,” “mental illness,” and “societal acceptance.” These might be search terms...

TL;DR in English: Keep it in order. Provide helpful information. Write it from scratch. Use key phrases and words. Use real information. Avoid being too specific. Be sure to do basic revisions. Get feedback from someone.

This hip rotator stretch involves you bringing one leg over the other. This means that the chair you're sitting in needs to give you enough room to cross your legs without anything getting in the way. Chair without arms or embellishments on the sides work best. Sturdy folding chairs and dining chairs are often a great choice for this exercise. Gently guide the leg of the hip you want to stretch over the other leg. The leg you’re stretching should be bent at the knee so that your ankle is laying on the thigh of your other leg. The foot of the second leg should be flat on the floor. For example, if you want to pop your left hip, you would bring your left leg up across your right leg. Then, press down until you feel just a bit of resistance. This process shouldn’t hurt. If you feel any pain, stop immediately and bring your legs to a neutral position. With your hands still applying pressure, bend your torso forward over the crossed leg as much as you can while still keeping your back straight. Avoid hunching or curving your lower back as you stretch. Inhale and exhale slowly as you hold the position. Try to stay bent forward for 30 seconds. If 30 seconds feels like too much, hold the position for as long as you are able before slowly lifting your torso up and sliding your crossed leg down to the floor. It’s not necessary to repeat this stretch if you don’t feel like doing so. However, performing this stretch for both hips helps keep them open and can help avoid the strain and tension that leads to the urge to crack your hips.

TL;DR in English: Start in a comfortable chair where you can cross your legs at the knees. Bring one leg over the other. Place your hands on the thigh of your crossed leg. Bend forward at the hips as far as you can. Hold this position for no more than 30 seconds. Repeat this stretch on the other side to open up your hips.

Cats feel the cold more than humans so it will help your cat stay warm by providing great insulation from the cold, as well as a safe space to retreat and relax in. You can buy cardboard boxes in a variety of colours, floral, vintage or modern designs. This lets you choose one to suit your personal choice for your home décor. Alternatively you can simply use a cardboard box from the supermarket or local store.  This can be a fun project for a rainy day with your kids when your cat looks like they are in need of a nap. Before you begin take a minute to learn how to keep your cat safe as well as cosy by making their bed a cat-friendly zone. Cut the hole using scissors or with a craft knife. For an older, slower cat it makes sense to start the door-hole at ground level, but a younger cat or kitten who loves to jump will love a circular door-hole hole halfway up the front of the box.  Make sure the door-hole is large enough for your cat to climb in and out in comfort. If your cat loves to squeeze into things keep the hole relatively small. If your cat is sensitive to tight spaces then supersize the door! Does your cat like a quiet dark place? Do they like to look around and watch all the household bustle around them? Would they prefer the inside of the box to feel snug and dark, or sunny and light? Asking these questions will help to you design a bed perfect for your cat.  If your cat likes to look around them, think about cutting the top off the box as well as a door-hole – this will make sure that they don’t feel isolated. If your cat likes privacy then a good idea is to tape a soft piece of fabric over the door-hole as a curtain. To make a chic bed you could use the same fabric to line the box. Add a snack tube. Cut a hole in the top of box with scissors or a craft knife. Fit a paper toilet roll tube in it as a handy snack drop to ensure you don’t disturb their privacy. This can make a real difference in how quickly and happily your cat adapts. Their sensitive whiskers and paw pads mean that they love...

TL;DR in English: Pick out a cardboard storage box the right shape and size for your cat. Cut a square or circular door-hole in the front of the box. Customise the bed specifically to your cat’s needs, likes and dislikes. Add a soft, comfortable base to the bed.

These topics run the risk of alienating her or making her feel uncomfortable instead of entertained. Some topics you should avoid at first include:  Politics & Religion (though for some people, these make for the best conversations) Sexually Transmitted Diseases Previous relationships (hers or yours) Although having a beer or two may help you feel more relaxed, you run the risk of embarrassing yourself if you drink too much. Avoid having more than one drink beforehand and don’t go out for drinks if you feel you may end up drinking too much. Becoming too drunk can also lead to a problematic sexual encounter, depending on the circumstances. If you’re drinking together, make sure you stay in a public place and practice safety at all times. You'd be surprised how easy it is to entertain and impress a girl when you're not trying to. Remind yourself that it’s ok if things don’t work out or if the date isn’t perfect. Keep your mind on the present and focus on having a good time!
