Most professional coaches started out as volunteers, and it’s extremely unlikely that you’ll be paid to coach without experience. You should be open to volunteering for any coaching positions that you can reasonably fill. Most coaching positions are part-time, which means that even when you do start to get paid, you’ll probably want to hold on to your regular job (for now at least). Scour local job postings and resource pages to see if anyone is looking for a basketball coach. It’s likely that you won’t be qualified for a lot of the higher-level positions, but that’s okay. Apply to any possible openings and be open about your experience. Networking is a good way to find potential openings. Even if you don’t get an interview, ask the hiring manager if they know of any similar openings that might fit your level of experience. Youth leagues often struggle to find consistent coaches. A youth league may also offer the opportunity to learn the nuances of coaching while keeping a lower profile. Just make sure that you have the time to commit to a youth league.  Almost all coaching positions for youth sports require a background check. Be prepared to complete the necessary paperwork before starting your position.  Your local recreation center, YMCA, or YWCA will often need volunteers to help with coaching. High schools occasionally have coaching vacancies, but they are usually reserved for people with experience in the field. Unless you have a strong playing background to fall back on, it may be difficult to secure a coaching job at this level. Almost everyone has experienced rejection when trying to land a new job. Don’t get too down on yourself. If finding a coaching position becomes an overwhelming process, take a break and recharge. Coaching positions usually open up right before the season starts. It may be that you’re looking for coaching positions at the wrong time of the year.

TL;DR in English: Be willing to volunteer for potential openings. Look for coaching vacancies online. Ask your local recreation center or school if they need a coach. Keep looking for new opportunities and don’t get discouraged.

Keep an eye on how much light the plant gets – if anything, too little light is better than too much. While you're gone, turn the air off, too. It'll be nicer for the plant if it's a little warmer. As the seasons change, you may want to move the plant. Take it away from any windows if you're unsure. It'll still get plenty of light in the center of a room. And as for what water to use, this plant is very sensitive to chemicals like fluoride and chlorine – only use tap water if it's been sitting out for 24 hours (so the chemicals can evaporate. Otherwise, bottled water is best. Once the plant has grown roots, the roots must be kept covered with water. Again, 1-3 inches is all it takes. If you're growing your plant in soil, water it just enough so the soil is moist but not soggy. Keep it this way every day. The plant can get dry-rot if the soil is too wet. You can also spray the leaves with water to keep it moist and humid. Again, use filtered or bottled water to avoid chemical damage. Encourage more roots by increasing the amount of water in which the plant is growing. More roots mean lusher top foliage; the higher the water is up the stalk, the higher up the roots will grow. If you're using soil, use organic fertilizer every month or so so the plant gets enough nutrients (again, go organic as synthetic can cause deterioration). If you're growing it hydroponically, use liquid fertilizer in the water. However, keep in mind that lucky bamboo does not need much fertilizer, so make sure that you dilute the fertilizer to one tenth of its strength. Add it at the same time as you add the rest of the water; it's best to add fertilizer when the water is clean.

TL;DR in English: Place the lucky bamboo in a warm spot where it will get indirect light. Change the water every week if you're growing it hydroponically. Water the plant carefully. Fertilizer your plant every month or so.

You can use the bowl of your stand mixer, if you have one. If you don't have a stand mixer, use a regular mixing bowl. Choose a mixing bowl that’s relatively deep so you can combine the ingredients with ease. If you’re using a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment. A handheld mixer or manual whisk will also work fine. Whip thoroughly for 1-2 minutes until stiff peaks form. To check for stiff peaks, lift the whisk out of the bowl. This will cause the cream to form a peak. If the peak holds its shape, it's stiff. If it falls in on itself after a couple of seconds, whip for 1 more minute. Spoon the sour cream into the bowl with your cream mixture. Whisk the ingredients together gently until thoroughly combined. Place the remaining ingredients into the bowl with the cream mixture. Use a large spoon to combine the ingredients thoroughly. Don’t use your mixer or whisk for this part! Transfer the ambrosia salad to a large glass serving bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in your fridge. Chill the salad for at least 2 hours before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Be sure to consume your ambrosia salad within 3 to 5 days.

TL;DR in English: Place the heavy cream and sugar into a large bowl. Whip the cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Add the sour cream to the bowl and whisk. Stir in the marshmallows, fruits, coconut, and pecans. Cover the ambrosia salad and refrigerate for 2 hours. Serve the ambrosia salad cold.

Write or recite a subtraction word problem for your students. It's best to show them a written problem so that they can refer back to it. There are 10 dogs at the pet store. 6 of the dogs are adopted by new owners. How many dogs are left at the pet store? Draw a number line on the board that ranges from 0 to 10. Ask the students how many dogs are at the pet store. Place your marker or pointer on “10.” Ask the students how many dogs are adopted. Count down the number-line 6 places (9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4) to number “4.”  Ask the students how many dogs are left at the pet store. It's a good idea to create a permanent number line that your students can reference. You could use a permanent marker on paper, a poster, or the board, or you could use colorful washi tape on the board or wall. Explain that this word problem can be represented by a number sentence. Walk them through the process of translating the word problem into a number sentence.  Ask them how many dogs are at the pet shop. Write “10” on the board. Ask the students how many dogs are adopted. Write “6” on the board. Ask the students if this is an addition or a subtraction problem. Write down “-” between the “10” and the “6.” Ask the students for the solution to “10-6.” Write down “=” followed by a “4.”

TL;DR in English: Present your students with a subtraction word problem. Use a number line to solve the problem. Write a number sentence.

“Being great” is such an undefinable thing that you have to choose something concrete to work with. Think about your strengths and your areas for improvement, and decide on a goal that makes sense for your personality. Research shows that you’re most likely to achieve a goal if it’s something you want and something you’re willing to work hard to achieve.  You could decide that you want to be become a great author writing beautiful works of literature, or an investigative journalist exposing the darkest aspects of the human psyche. Or you could decide you want to help make change and get involved in politics or become an activist. Try writing down your dream goals first. Don’t worry yet about making them specific and achievable; that will come soon! As famous philosopher and writer Henry David Thoreau once said, “If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” In a commencement speech at Stanford University, inventor and entrepreneur Steve Jobs said that he asked himself the following question every morning: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” If the answer was "No," he changed things. This could be a good question to ask yourself, too. Now that you have your list of the great things you want to accomplish, you need to  frame the problem of achieving them so that you don't get overwhelmed. It's easy to feel like you can't achieve your goals, especially when you're just starting out. Frame your goals so that your goal is something you’re working toward, rather than something you’re trying to move away from. You’re more likely to achieve your goals when they’re positive!  Viktor Frankl, who survived a Nazi concentration camp, said that his survival came through the freedom “to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” Because he refused to allow the Nazis to take away his freedom of choice, Frankl was able to reframe a seemingly...

TL;DR in English: Decide on your greatness goal. Frame the problem properly. Make your goal specific. Use positive thinking. Use positive action. Examine others' success stories.

Many online vendors sell spandex face-masks, called Morph Masks. If you're planning on making a Spiderman suit to go with your mask, you can buy a full-body Morph Suit as well. Look for a plain red Morph Mask at a costume depot or order one online. It should cost around 15 dollars. There are many different versions of Spiderman, between the comics and the films. Some Spiderman costumes feature dark eye-lenses, while others show a Spiderman with bright, reflective eyes. Buy a large pair of sunglasses in the tint that you prefer for your costume, dark or bright. Make sure the glasses have very large lenses. Each lens will become an eye on your mask, so take some reference pictures of Spiderman with you when you go shopping. Look in the women's sunglasses section, as many women's styles feature larger lenses. For an alternative look, consider using a sheet of silver or dark auto tint for the eyes of your mask. It will make for a similar effect as the sunglasses, but the material is flexible instead of rigid. You can ask an auto detailing shop if they have any scraps, then cut it into the shape of the eyes. You won't need very much, so they should be able to help you out. To create the "web" pattern on Spiderman's mask, you'll have to decide between a black Sharpie or black fabric paint. This will depend on your aesthetic preference. Sharpie will create flat, matte lines, while puff paint or fabric paint will create raised, textured lines. Be aware that you may have to hand-wash your mask regardless of which marker type you choose. Both can be damaged by machine washing. Many craft stores carry inexpensive hot glue guns. Pick one up or use one that you already own. Make sure that you have plenty of glue sticks handy so that you don't run out in the middle of your project.

TL;DR in English:


Decide why you are writing this prayer. Approach your letter with a sincere heart. Manage your expectations.

Brew a fresh cup of coffee using a drip machine, French press, or another method. Then, pour 200–250 ml (6.8–8.5  fl oz) of coffee into a mug, filling it three-quarters of the way. This will leave enough room for the rest of the ingredients.  You can also buy freshly brewed hot or iced coffee from a coffee shop. If you want to have an iced Amarula with coffee, let the coffee cool down before adding 3-4 ice cubes to the drink. If you are using a smaller mug, use less coffee. Carefully pour the Amarula Cream into a shot glass or jigger. Then, pour the shot into your coffee mug. Mix the drink with a spoon to incorporate both liquids.  If you want a stronger taste of Amarula in your drink, add 2 shots. If you want a more balanced coffee drink, only add 1. Adding too much Amarula to the coffee could overpower the taste of the drink. Press the button on the top of the whipped cream can to spray the whipped cream on top of the coffee. The whipped cream compliments the creaminess in the Amarula and will add sweetness.  Add as much or as little whipped cream as you want. Fat-free whipped cream won't taste as rich as traditional whipped cream. Add 2 g (0.071 oz) of brown sugar and 4-8 marshmallows on top of the drink to add sweetness to the beverage. The sweet notes of the sugar balance out the bitterness of the coffee and the creaminess of the Amarula. If you don't like overly sweet coffee drinks, leave out the marshmallows. The chocolate powder adds richness to the drink. Wait for the beverage to cool off before you drink it so that you don't burn your tongue if the coffee is still hot.

TL;DR in English: Pour coffee into a large mug. Add 1-2 shots of Amarula Cream Liqueur into the coffee and stir it. Spray whipped cream on top of the drink. Sprinkle brown sugar and a few marshmallows on the whipped cream. Finish the drink with hot chocolate powder and serve it.

Remove the bowl and whisk from your mixer. Place both into the freezer, and leave them there for 15 to 30 minutes. Skip this step if you are using a food processor; you do not need to chill the bowl of a food processor. Make sure that it is fitted with whisks.

TL;DR in English: Chill the mixing bowl and whisk ahead of time.

One key to any good relationship is respect. You respect your parents by following their rules and being polite when communicating with them. They respect you by allowing you to grow into who you are going to be, as well as by offering correction when you do something wrong. Cleaning up after yourself is another way to show your respect. Your parents work hard to make a home for you, and they're probably tired when they come home. You should acknowledge that by not leaving messes around and by cleaning up your room even before you're asked. Kids not doing chores on time is a common source of irritation for parents, which is why the phrase "How many times do I have to tell you?" is a mantra for many of them. If you wait until the punishment is imminent, it may be too late, but it doesn't hurt to jump up, grab the garbage bag, and head out to garbage can, even when your parent is already angry. You may be tempted to wriggle out of a punishment by telling a lie. However, lies have a tendency to build. That is, if you tell one lie, you'll likely need to tell more to cover up your previous one, which means digging yourself into a deeper hole. Just tell the truth. Express your regret, and accept the punishment if it happens. If your parents found out you lied on top of doing something else wrong, your punishment will be even more severe. Do your best, and usually, your parents will understand the grade you receive. If you fall behind, try to catch up. If you fail to study for a test, you won't be able to change the grade you receive. However, if you do flunk a test, you may be able to do a makeup test or extra credit work to change your final score. Most parents will forgo the punishment if you can improve your grade. Try not to fight with your parents or siblings, as arguments will land you in trouble. Additionally, yelling will stress out your parents, making them more likely to hand out punishments for minor infractions.

TL;DR in English: Be respectful. Be tidy. Be timely about chores. Tell the truth. Keep your grades up. Keep the peace.

If you have been famous for a long time or received lots of recognition from a young age, it might be difficult for you to see what other people think about being famous. Try to remember what you thought about celebrities and their lifestyles before you became famous. Knowing this will help you understand how others treat you so that you can respond more gracefully. For example, pre-adolescents reportedly value fame over all other prospects for the future. This means that you have a coveted role for this age group, and have an opportunity to share the realities of your experience with young people who are highly interested. It's all too easy to negatively affect your image with just one misstep, harsh word, or thoughtless action. Take a minute or two to be friendly with a fan (or a group of fans); most will be respectful of your private time if you provide some degree of openness when in public. Because of inevitable mixed opinions of you that will pop up, many fans end up pleasantly surprised to find that celebrities they like are actually nice.  When you talk to individual fans, don't think about maintaining your image or bolstering your reputation. Try to talk to them with empathy, sharing in the excitement of the moment together. If you are faced with a fan who is younger than you for example, it would not be appropriate to act cool and aloof. When responding to fans in comment sections and on social media, keep your replies brief and cheery. If someone else handles this responsibility for you, make sure that you check in with this person to make sure that they are maintaining a fun, carefree voice. Being famous means recognizing that you have the responsibility to influence people in a serious way. This can be an overwhelming realization, and should not be an excuse to inflate your ego. Just like a comic book hero, responsibility means having respect for the world that you wield influence over. Try not to push your personal agenda--think outside of yourself for things you can do that others will benefit...

TL;DR in English: Understand how others view fame. Address fans with calm kindness. Accept your responsibility. Embrace the voice that comes with fame. Be on the lookout for opportunists.

For some reason, arrows shot at the face will simply pass through the body. It has 10 HP, but may be hard to kill as it can attack from 16 blocks away, making it very hard to hit. Fireballs are easy to deflect,(be sure to note that you can send backfire charges with your bow too) and can kill a ghast if you hit the ghast with it. Don't count on it though, and still use your bow as your primary weapon. Collect them. Also, it is a good choice to build it out of cobblestone, as ghasts' explosions are incapable of destroying it.

TL;DR in English: Aim for the tentacles. Either dodge the fireball or hit it to deflect it. Seeing that ghasts can fly, you will need to build bridges to get to the drop (gunpowder and ghast tears) and experience.

What is the purpose of your prayer? Are you asking God to forgive you, to praise him, or to thank him for something? Whatever the reason, knowing your motivation will help you know what to include in your prayer letter. For example, if you are writing your prayer letter to ask God to guide you about a big decision at work, you can focus on that specific request when you have acknowledged that this is your main source of concern. Praying is our way of communicating with the Lord. When you talk to God, you need to pray with your heart and your deepest sincerity. If you have ulterior motives or if you are not fully invested in your prayer, then there is little reason to pray in the first place. Praying to God doesn’t mean that you will automatically receive what you ask for. Sometimes God’s plan is bigger than our comprehension and only He can see that what we are asking for isn’t really what we need. God always answers our prayers, but sometimes it is just not in the way we expected.

Rent or buy a hopper gun and air compressor. Adjust the air pressure. Practice your technique. Spray your drywall. Finish the texture.

Fill up a glass about halfway with warm water and then add the same amount of a gentle dish detergent. Then drop in about a capful of ordinary household bleach and stir.  You can substitute a number of leather-safe solvents for this solution. Some choices include hairspray, rubbing alcohol, and white vinegar.  This method works best for removing autographs, scuff marks, and grass stains. Dip the tip of the cotton swab into your bleach solution and squeeze the excess off with a paper towel or old rag. You just want enough to lightly moisten the surface of the ball. You can also use an old tooth brush or any other type of scrubbing tool able to hold water. Rub the end of the cotton swab with bleach on it back and forth over the surface of the ball. Do this a few times until you see the stain lift away. Be careful to avoid contact with the seams or any of the stamps. If the bleach touches the red stitches on the seams, it will discolor them. The solution will also remove any stamps you scrub over. Moisten a towel or a cotton ball with clean tap water. Either wipe down your entire ball or just go over the spot you bleached. Do this a few times. It's important to remove all residual cleaning solution. If you've significantly wetted your baseball, do not allow it to air dry. Air drying can cause leather to warp and crack. Instead, rub the baseball with a clean, dry towel.

TL;DR in English: Make a solution of dilute bleach and dish detergent. Dampen a cotton swab with bleach. Wipe the damp cotton swab over the stain. Wipe the bleach off of your ball. Towel your baseball dry.

Using a soft toothbrush or a bristle brush made for leather, gently brush away any dirt, dust, or debris. Brush the leather with soft strokes in the same direction. If you scrub the shoes in multiple directions, you're likely to leave scars. Use a rubber-bristled brush rather than a nylon-bristled brush. Rubber brushes will be easier on your shoes. Make a cleaning solution with water and mild dish soap. Dampen a microfiber cloth with the solution, and use it to clean your Sperrys. Apply firm pressure while you rub in a circular motion to remove residual dirt and scuffs.  Don't get the leather too damp, as excessive wetness can make the leather fibers less supple.  Avoid using saddle soap on your Sperrys, which can break down and damage most leathers. After you have washed your Sperrys with water, wipe them dry with another microfiber cloth. Use the same circular motion as you did to remove the scuffs. Continue wiping until your Sperrys are dry, at which point you can proceed to the next step. Before you can polish your Sperrys, you need to apply leather conditioner. Using a soft cloth, apply a thin layer of conditioner to your shoe's leather. Let the conditioner absorb into the shoe for 10-20 minutes, then remove it with a dry section of the cloth. your Sperrys with shoe polish. Use a soft cloth to apply the polish in a clockwise motion around the shoe. When you have polished the entire leather surface, use a separate cloth to remove the polish in a counterclockwise motion.  Test the polish on a small part of the shoe first to make sure it won't cause discoloration. Cream polishes will retain your shoe's color best, but wax polishes are ideal for shine. Using a soft microfiber cloth once again, buff your shoes in a circular motion by applying direct pressure to the shoes. For an extra shine, apply a few drops of water onto the cloth before you buff your Sperrys. You cannot clean suede shoes the same way that you clean leather. Suede is treated differently and has a napped finish because it is made of the...

You can use a ruler or a template you downloaded online to create matching triangle shapes. You can go for any type of triangle shape you want. You can have three even sides or have one or two sides longer or shorter.  Trace your triangle shape onto a piece of cardboard. Use a ruler to keep the lines straight. Carefully cut out your triangle shape, going slowly to keep all lines neat and straight. Place your cardboard triangle on the backside of your leather. Use a fabric pen to trace out two triangle shapes. Carefully cut around the shapes you drew. You should be left with two pieces of leather of equal sizes, shaped like a triangle. On the front side of your leather, draw a geometrical shape using your gold paint pen. The shape you draw is up to you. You can look up patterns online or simply make up your own shape.  Geometrical shapes include things like intersecting lines, rectangles, and squares. Try drawing a variety of straight lines criss-crossing and intersecting throughout both triangle. You can use a ruler if necessary to keep your lines straight. You can draw the same design on each earring or have a slightly different design on each earring. Choose a single corner of one triable to punch a hole. Use the smallest hole puncher possible, as you don't need a large hole to fit the earring hook through. Punch another hole in the same corner on your other triangle. You will have to undo the hook at the end of the earring hook using pliers or your fingers. Fit the hook through the holes you punched. Then, tightly re-seal the hook using your fingers or pliers. Your earrings are now complete. Make sure you close the hooks completely. Otherwise, your earrings may slip off and get lost.

Your child’s arms should be held out in front of them, then moved slowly backward. Ask your child to repeat this motion (front to back, back to front) the whole time. Demonstrate this movement, and encourage your child to try.  It may feel more natural to your child to move their arms up and down, but this is not an effective way to tread water and will tire them out quickly. Try pretending you and your child are in the jungle, using your arms to part the vines. The palms of your child’s hands should be facing in the direction their arms are moving. When their arms go as far as they can comfortably go toward your kid’s back, they should rotate their hands so that the palms face forward while moving their arms toward the front.  Ask them to pretend they are parting grass or vines and pushing them to the sides so they can get through. These motions should be done slowly and evenly to conserve energy. Once your kid has mastered the proper arm motions, you can move on to teaching the proper leg motions. Although breathing and arm-only exercises can be practiced standing up, in order to do leg exercises your child will need to sit, lie down, or try other positions.  Practicing at a playground is ideal because your kid can be helped into a position where their feet are not on the ground. You can help your kid hang from a horizontal bar or suspended rings on the climbing tower. To demonstrate these motions, suspend your own body off the ground. You may need to maneuver your child’s legs for them until they can do the motions on their own. One of the easier leg motions to learn is known as the "scissor kick."  To do this, ask your child to move their legs apart (one toward the front and one toward the back) then reverses them. Demonstrate this move for your child. Then ask them to pretend their legs are scissors cutting through a piece of paper. The "frog kick" is a move where your child will bend both legs, with the knees pointed outward. Then they will extend both legs at the same time. Demonstrate this for your...

TL;DR in English: Emphasize a front-to-back arm motion. Pay attention to your child’s palms. Get your child into a position with their feet off the ground. Try a scissor kick. Do a frog kick. Work up to the eggbeater.

You can find hopper guns at most hardware stores, or online. If you plan on doing a lot of drywall texturing, you may find it more cost effective to purchase one of your own. If this is a one-time project, consider renting your hopper gun.  Attach the hopper gun to an air compressor and load the hopper with your mixed drywall compound.  Read the manufacturer's instructions before operating the hopper gun.  Only fill the hopper up about halfway to keep it from getting too heavy. The air pressure needs to be high enough to spray the compound from the gun, but not so high that you can't control the spray. The gun should also have an adjustable aperture, or mouth. Adjust this opening to your liking. A wider opening will create bigger blobs, and a smaller one will create a finer texture. Before you spray your entire room, do a few test sprays on some scrap cardboard or drywall. Make any final adjustments to the pressure and aperture. Write down the settings you used in case you want to make the same effect again. Cover your wall in a continuous, sweeping motion. Don't pause when spraying as this will cause build up on your wall. Spray with a light touch for best results.  You can spray in vertical or horizontal lines, or even in a random pattern. How you decide to spray is up to you, just keep in mind you're aiming for a uniform application.  If you feel some of the texture is too thin, you can make another pass. However, be careful not to spray too much. It can be difficult to match up the textures when doing touch-ups. Your texture isn't complete until you paint it. Before you paint your drywall, add another coat of primer. Once the primer dries, add one or two coats of paint to finish the job. Let the drywall texture dry completely before painting.

If your dog has a tendency to chase cats in your neighborhood, it's best to keep your dog on a leash during walks. If you feel inclined to let your dog off-leash during walks, you should do so only in places where you know there will be no cats around, such as a dog park or a quiet place away from other homes. You should also try to only let your dog off-leash at the park during times when you know there will be no cats around. Remember that cats are most active at dusk and dawn, as they often come out to hunt during the night.  Use the "leave it" method on your dog during walks. Even though your dog is on a leash, he may still try to run and pull on the leash whenever he sees a cat. Teaching him to leave it when he sees a cat will help take the stress out of walking your dog in a cat-friendly neighborhood.  If your dog pulls hard or barks while on his leash, he may have what's known as leash aggression. Put simply, he perceives that you're anxious about how he'll react to an animal, and he assumes that animal is a threat. To train your dog out of this, practice getting your dog's attention no matter what is happening around you. Reward him when he keeps his eyes on you. Start out in a low-stress environment, such as your home, and gradually work toward keeping your dog focused on you (and on the treat he'll come to expect) no matter what other animals are around on your walk.  Another crucial skill to teach your dog if you plan to let him roam off-leash is to come when called. Try teaching your dog to come while you run away from him, as he will almost inevitably chase after you. This will make it easier for him to learn this command early on in his training, as he will associate your praise with his following after you. Reward him with treats and praise whenever he comes on command. If you have a yard at your home and you'd like to let your dog run freely in the yard, be sure that you either erect a fence around your property, or use a tether and leash to keep your dog from leaving your yard. This will help...

TL;DR in English: Keep your dog on a leash. Confine your dog to your yard. Keep cats out of your yard.

After a couple of days you can begin to allow your cat to explore some more of the house. After making sure that all potential routes outside are closed and secured, invite her to have a look around a few more rooms. Gradually allowing access to other spaces will help to lower her anxiety.  Keep an eye on her when you allow her to explore more and be on-hand to comfort or play with her if she appears stressed. If you have a cat-leash you could use it to make sure she is unable to make a run for it. If your cat is not used to a leash this could just make her even more stressed out. You can use a plug-in pheromone diffuser to release scents that are designed to calm stressed cats. You can buy these from your local pet store or vet, and they help to create a more reassuring environment after a move.  It is a particularly good idea to use one in the room your cat will be spending a lot of time in at the start. Different cats will react in different ways to these diffusers and some may not react at all. You could keep some catnip handy as an alternative. It's important to be relaxed around her, and to allow her plenty of time to adjust to her new surroundings. She might take a while to get back to her old personality, becoming more withdrawn or quiet after the move. Showing patience and sensitivity will help to reduce any anxieties and create a comfortable and welcoming environment. While you gradually introduce her to her new house, it's important that you don't allow her to get outside yet. Keep her in the house for two weeks so she can become fully acclimated to her new surroundings before you let her out. Spending this long in the new house helps to establish it as her new base, and lower the chances of her trying to make her way back to the old house.  Take extra care to make sure your don't leave doors or windows open in this period and generally be observant and careful. If you have a very adventurous cat who is desperate to go outdoors, don't give in. Keep her in for a minimum of two weeks; the amount of...

TL;DR in English: Open up more rooms. Consider using a pheromone diffuser. Be patient. Keep her indoors for two weeks.

When you land on the space, you may choose to purchase the property at the price listed on the card.  Pay that cost to the banker or the owner of the property.  If you do not purchase the property, and it is not currently owned by another player, the banker will hold an auction.  You can participate in the auction even though you chose not to buy it at the purchase price. Once you own all of the site properties of one color, you have a monopoly and can build on them. You can charge rent from other players who land on your property. When you own utilities, you can charge usage fees.  Players who land on your utility will owe you rent based on a dice roll.  Owning both the phone and internet utilities will greatly increase your income from other players.  A player who lands on your utility will owe rent determined by the amount they roll on the dice multiplied by 4, then multiplied again by 10,000. If you own both utilities, the rent owed is the player’s dice roll multiplied by 10, then 10,000. Airports allow you to collect fees from other players.  Each time a player lands on one of your airports, they will owe you the amount shown on the Title Deed card. This can be any number you negotiate together. If you have any buildings on properties of the same color, you cannot sell the property until you sell all of the buildings on that same color. You will receive half of the purchase price listed on the deed card when you sell the house back to the bank.  You can sell on your turn or between other player’s turns. You must sell houses in even numbers the same way they were bought. You can receive half go the deed price for the hotel or trade it in for houses equaling the same value. For instance a hotel can be sold to the bank and you can receive 4 houses from the bank to put on that property. You can sell sites, airports and utilities to other players to gain money.  The price they pay you is any amount agreed on by both parties.  Sites can’t be sold if there are buildings on any of the sites in that color group. ...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a property. Own utilities. Buy airports. Sell property to other players at an agreed upon price. Sell houses to the bank. Sell hotels to the bank. Sell property to other players.

Cut the metal mesh into the desired shape using wire cutters. This mesh will serve as the framework for your sculpture. It will hold the wet concrete in place until it dries. Use a metal mesh that is heavy enough to hold its own shape. If you are unable to manipulate the mesh into your desired shape, try wrapping the mesh around something hard, like cardboard or styrofoam, to form the desired shape of the sculpture. Mix the concrete mix and water in a large bucket or wheelbarrow. Use a concrete stirrer, hoe, or drill bit to stir the concrete until it is thoroughly mixed. Most 80 pound (36 kg) bags of concrete require three quarts (2.8 liters) of water. The mixture should be a thick, oatmeal-like consistency.  Read the instructions on the bag of concrete before mixing the concrete and water. The instructions will provide clear ratios of water to concrete. Concrete that is too runny is easier to pour but less durable and more likely to break over time. Add more water to your concrete mixture if the mixture is solid and crumbly. Using a metal trowel, or another hand tool, apply the concrete to the wire mesh. Apply the concrete in thin layers. Add more layers until you achieve your desired shape. The concrete will be dry to the touch within 24 hours. However, you should allow the concrete to cure for seven days. Avoid touching or moving the sculpture during this time.

TL;DR in English: Cut the mesh. Wrap the mesh around something hard. Mix the concrete. Apply the concrete to the mesh. Let the concrete dry.

Spending time with happy, positive people will tend to make you happy and positive as well.  Find time for family and friends who care about and support you emotionally.  Talk with them about your hopes, dreams, and desires.  For instance, if you get a raise at the office, you should share it with your family or close friends.  Host a small get-together to mark the occasion at your home or at a restaurant. Be generous with your praise and complements.  If you see a friend wearing a handsome shirt, say “Wow, that shirt looks great on you.” Being happy and content is a positive feedback loop.  When you're with people who are content, you'll feel more content.  Your contentment will make them feel more content as well. Always aim for a deeper, more intimate level of emotional connection with the one you love.  Familiarity might, over the long term, make it seem as though you know everything about them, but there is always more to discover.  Ask what they think about current goings-on in their work life or their view of current events.  Watch the news with your partner regularly and discuss topics of importance. When your partner returns from work or school, ask how their day went.  Don't just take “Fine” or “Okay” for an answer.  Press them about who they talked or what they learned. Dig deep into your partner's life and you'll stay content with them. Do not overemphasize the negative qualities of your partner.  For instance, when thinking of your partner, do not make the fact that he or she snores or has poor grammar their defining feature.  Instead, take a slightly idealized view of your partner.  In other words, focus mostly on their good qualities.  When your partner is complex and has a many-layered personality, you will be more interested over the long term.  People in long-term, satisfying, and content relationships see their partner's flaw and foibles, but perceive them overall in an idealized way.  For instance, recognize that your partner might be constantly late, but concentrate first and foremost on...

TL;DR in English: Devote time to family and friends. Get to know your partner. Recognize your partner's complexity. Don't fall prey to emotional addiction. Make yourself useful.

Do so near the place you want to insert the picture. It's at the top of the window. In some versions of Word, you may need to click Insert in the menu bar at the top of the screen, then select Pictures. Click From File… to locate and select the image file on your computer. Click Photo Browser… if you want Word to search for image files on your computer.  The image will be placed in the Word document where you clicked.  Click and hold on the photo to move or drag it to another location. You can also edit the image in the Word document.

TL;DR in English:


This is a difficult trick to pull off, since the audience needs to be looking from exactly the right angle. Find a friend who's willing to take a look while you practice, and help you figure out the best way to position yourself while you try the steps below. Pick a pair of pants that has pant legs that hang down partly over your foot or shoe. The best pants will hide your heels, but keep the toes and center of your feet visible. Tell the audience you need space to concentrate, and to avoid falling on them when the levitation magic ends. The audience should be about 8–10 feet (2.5–3 meters) away. Make a big deal of "finding the right spot" to convince your audience that this is difficult. This is where a friend will come in handy, since you might have to experiment with this at different angles to find out where the illusion looks most convincing. Usually, the magician stands about 45º away from the audience, so the audience can see the back of your heels and your entire left foot, but cannot see the tip of your right foot. You can also think of this as standing on a clock face. Your toes are pointed at 10:30 or 11:00, and the audience is standing at 6:00. Make a big show of how difficult levitation is, and raise your arms into the air slowly as though you were pulling yourself up. Push up on the toe of your right foot only, where the audience can't see your foot. Raise your right heel, and your entire left foot, trying to keep them even with each other. Keep your left foot parallel with the ground. "Hover" for just a few seconds in this position. After a few seconds, drop back down to the ground. Bend your knees and ankles as you hit the ground, to make it seem like you fell from a taller height than you actually did.

TL;DR in English: Practice this in advance. Wear long pants. Stand back from the audience. Stand at an angle away from your audience. Stand up on the toe of your right foot. Drop your feet back onto the ground.

The MPQ (also called the McGill pain index), is a scale of rating pain developed at McGill University in Canada in 1971. It's a written questionnaire that allows people in pain to give their doctors a good idea of the quality and intensity of pain they're feeling / experiencing. Patients basically choose descriptive words from different categories that best describes their pain.  The MPQ is a well-validated measure of pain with extensive clinical research backing up it's relative accuracy. People can rate their pain in sensory terms (sharp or stabbing, for examples) and choose affective terms (sickening or fearful, for examples), so a doctor or therapist can review 15 total selected descriptors.  Each selected descriptor is rated on a 4-point scale that ranges from none to severe, so the type and intensity of the pain can be better understood by health professionals. The BPI is a questionnaire used to measure pain developed by the Pain Research Group of the WHO Collaborating Center for Symptom Evaluation in Cancer Care. The BPI comes in 2 formats: the short form, which is used for clinical trials; and the long form, which contains additional descriptive items that may be useful to a doctor in a clinical setting. The main purpose of the BPI questionnaire is to assess the severity of a person's pain and the impact it has on their daily functions.  The BPI questionnaire is best for people with pain from chronic diseases, such as cancer, osteoarthritis or low back pain. The BPI can also be used to assess acute pain, such as postoperative pain or pain from accidents and sports injuries. The main areas of assessment for the BPI include: location of pain, severity of pain, impact of pain on daily activities and response of pain levels to medication. The ODI is a numbered index derived from the Oswestry Low Back Pain questionnaire developed in 1980 and used by health care professionals and researchers to quantify disability caused by low back pain. The questionnaire contains 10 topics concerning pain intensity,...

TL;DR in English: Use the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ). Fill out the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) questionnaire. Use the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire for low back pain. Consider the Treatment Outcomes of Pain Survey (TOPS) instead.

You use CSS to change the appearance of an HTML element (e.g., a paragraph). CSS is typically written in the following line-by-line format:   element tag { (for example, p {)  modifier: property; (for example, font-size: 20px;)  modifier: property; (for example, color: black;) } These should be near the top of the page. Type in <head> and press ↵ Enter. Type in <style> and press ↵ Enter. To do so:  Type in body { and press ↵ Enter. Type in background-color: lightblue; and press ↵ Enter. You can use any supported color here, as well as "light" or "dark" modifiers.  Type in } and press ↵ Enter. Type in h1 { and press ↵ Enter, add a modifier and press ↵ Enter, and type in } and press ↵ Enter. You can add multiple modifiers to one element as long as each modifier is on its own line. Common modifiers include the following:   Text size - Type in font-size: 30px; to set your text as 30-point font. Substitute any number that you want to use.  Text color - Type in color: black; to make black text. Substitute any color that you want to use.  Text alignment - Type in text-align: center; to center the text. You can also type left or right to align the text appropriately.  Font used - Type in font-family: times new roman; to set your font as Times New Roman. You can also use fonts like verdana or georgia. Type in p1 { and press ↵ Enter, add a modifier and press ↵ Enter, and type in } and press ↵ Enter. The modifiers that you can use here are identical to the ones used for the header. You can style any element by referencing its tag text and placing an open curly bracket ({), adding modifiers, and then closing the bracket (}). On a new line below your last styling text, type in </style> and press ↵ Enter, then type in </head> and press ↵ Enter. Your CSS sheet is complete, meaning that you can now review and save it.

TL;DR in English: Understand how CSS works. Place a space between the <html> and <body> tags. Enter a HEAD tag. Add a STYLE tag. Change your webpage's background color. Style your first header. Style your first paragraph. Style the rest of your document. Close the STYLE and HEAD tags.

Some sites (like Crossdresser Hookup) are particularly geared toward no-strings-attached hookups (not relationships), so know what you’re looking for before you sign up! If you come across someone you like on one of these sites, send them a friendly message to find out if they’re into dating crossdressers. For instance, you could say, “Hey, your profile caught my eye. I see that you’re bisexual, so I’m curious if you’re into crossdressing men?” Go to LGBTQ-friendly online forums to chat with people about your lifestyle. Note that some forums don’t allow usernames, real names, emails, or phone numbers, so mind those rules. These types of forums aren't exactly dating sites, but you can connect with other crossdressers for tips and dating advice.  Trans Pulse and Crossdresser Heaven are good places to ask questions, comment on existing posts, or create your own thread and strike up some conversation. Sites specifically geared toward crossdressing (like CrossDressers.com) is a good place to ask for dating advice and all things crossdressing. Sites like meetup.com allow you to connect and hang out with people who are nonjudgmental of alternative lifestyles.

For this method, you will need an empty cylindrical container, electrical tape or masking tape, construction paper, crayons or colored pencils (optional), two pencils (optional), and tissue paper (optional). For the container, you can use a coffee container, a popcorn tin, or an aluminum can. This is going to be the base of the drum, so look for a container that is clean and in good condition. This is going to form the top of the drum, which needs to be sturdy and firm. Try to put at least one to three layers of tape on the top of the can and criss-cross the tape tightly to make the drum more durable. he can. Then, cut the construction paper so it will fit around the container snugly. Tape the paper in place and trim away the excess paper. Or, let your little one decorate the drum using markers, crayons, or paint. You can also cut out shapes from other construction paper and attach them onto the side of the drum. Crumple up a piece of tissue paper on the end of a pencil. Wrap masking tape or electrical tape around the tissue ball so it is secured to the pencil. Repeat this method on another pencil. Now it is time to have some fun with your drum or let your toddler play with it to make sure it will withstand a drumming session.

Apply the mortar mix to the wire form. Add texture to the mortar. Cure the rock for 30 days in a dry location.

This weight loss fast needs to be performed for at least five days to be effective in the long-term.  But it should not be performed for longer than 20 days. You can repeat this fast more than once, but you should have 10 day breaks (at least) in between.  Speak with your doctor before attempting a fast, especially if you are on medication or have a health condition, such as kidney or liver disease.  If this is your first fast, start with a short one. Be very aware of how you are feeling. You should be feeling better, not worse. The following psyllium mixture is designed to help your body through the fast.  It is a liquid mixture that contains psyllium husks, comfrey, whey powder, marshmallow root, slippery elm bark, echinacea, powdered bentonite, Shepherd’s purse, wild yam, kelp, and bayberry bark.  You can make the liquid yourself (if you’re familiar with herbal remedies) or you can purchase it at a natural health food store. The psyllium husk, which is the main component of this liquid, causes a bulking reaction in your digestive system. Comfrey, whey powder, marshmallow root and slippery elm bark all help to control the quantity and quality of the mucus in your intestines. Echinacea, Shepherd’s purse, bayberry bark, and powdered bentonite help detoxify your body and digestive system. Wild yams help control the spasms and cramping in your intestines. Kelp helps to regulate the minerals in your digestive system. For breakfast every day of this fast, consume 2 tablespoons of the psyllium mixture and 2 tablespoons of protein powder. The 2 tablespoons of psyllium mixture and the 2 tablespoons of protein powder should be mixed in any type of liquid. The psyllium mixture tastes best in tomato, apple, or pineapple juice. For lunch every day of this fast, consume 1 tablespoon of psyllium mixture and 2 tablespoons of protein powder. You can also add a bowl of clear vegetable broth with lunch, as long as it’s made from non-starchy vegetables. For dinner every day, consume 2 tablespoons of psyllium mixture and 2...

Engage in fun activities that you can focus your attention on.  Do something that inspires you such as: hiking in a beautiful place, meditation, looking at art, etc. Try exercise such as: biking, hiking, sports, dance, aerobics, and yoga. Avoid activities that may increase daydreaming such as watch television excessively. Watching too much television could possibly lead to decreased creativity and increase daydreaming behaviors. Individuals with adequate social support tend to have higher mental health overall. We need social support to deal with any issue, including excessive mind-wandering or distraction.  Pick someone that you know very well and feel very comfortable with. Then, ask them if they'd be available to answer their phone and chat with you if you've become particularly engrossed in a daydream. You can ask friends or family to alert you if they notice that you are daydreaming. This will help to keep you accountable and increase your awareness of your attention-span. Planning can be a form of daydreaming because you spend a lot of time thinking about a situation and not much time accomplishing anything. It's time stop dreaming and start doing!  Have a schedule and stick to it. If you find yourself daydreaming, get up and leave the situation or do something productive. If you drift into a daydream, gently bring yourself back to what you were doing before your mind wandered. Try to be accepting and non-judgmental of yourself.

TL;DR in English: Find new hobbies. Talk to a friend or family member. Plan less, do more.

A boy or girl wants the kind of girl they can take home without their mom instantly hating them. They want the kind of girl they can hug without worrying about snapping her in half. He/she wants a real girl, with an actual personality. Not necessarily a Barbie. People who aim for Barbie-itude aren't worth your time. If someone will talk to you only if you're wearing a Crossing Guard of Negotiable Affections outfit, they're a jerk. Don't let anybody take advantage of you. If you think they'll grow out of it, dump him/her until they do or you'll be in for a lot of misery. Geeks are really cool people. They're usually down-to-earth and really smart. Guys/girls make really awesome normal friends, though. They're unlikely to stab you in the back or gossip about your secrets, and some guys/girls are more sympathetic than you'd think. Some people aren't sympathetic, though. They may just freeze up if you start crying, and not know what to do with you. They're not necessarily trying to be mean, and it doesn't mean they don't care. It's just that they might not know how to handle you. They can often find sound, logical solutions to your problems once you've calmed down, though, so they can still help you out a little. Some people like to fix girls' problems. Everybody has a bit of an ego, though some more than others.

TL;DR in English: Don't obsess about being the perfect girl that guys or girls want to date. Don't write someone off just because they can program Linux. Remember, you can be happy without a boyfriend/girlfriend. Be careful not to trod on a person's ego unless it needs treading on.

These are hormones that are made to be molecularly identical to the hormones made in a woman's body, though they are instead synthesized from soy and yams. They are often taken to treat menopausal symptoms but may also help with things like PMS, fibroids, and regulating your period. Talk to your doctor about options for FDA-approved bioidentical drugs and the potential side effects.  Be aware that over-the-counter plant-derived progesterone creams and yam extract creams do not work the same, as they either have too little of the hormone to be effective or cannot be synthesized by the body and converted into progesterone. Products that are not FDA-approved are not regulated, meaning there is no way to verify that they actually contain what they claim on the bottle. More research still needs to be done on bioidentical drugs and the long-term risks.

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor about bioidentical hormones.

Use a flat pointed trowel to apply a 2-3" layer of mortar to the wire frame.  Build the rock from the bottom up.     Make a layer of mortar around the base of the rock and work upwards around the wire frame. Create a realistic looking rock by adding contours and patterns to the surface of the mortar.  Use your trowel to create dips and creases in the surface of the mortar. Press a real rock into the mortar to make imprints of the rock's texture. Press a sea sponge or scouring pad into the rock to create pock marked look. Wrap a plastic bag around your hand and press it into the mortar to give a wrinkled look. The curing process is a result of a chemical reaction, not the cement drying out. Although 75% of the curing is completed after one week, it may take up to a month for cement to cure completely.  Mist the surface of the rock every few days as it cures. Keep the cement out of direct sunlight to prevent cracks. Cover the rock with plastic sheeting as it cures.

TL;DR in English:


Clean your floor and baseboards. Keep the area free of obstructions. Have water or a household cleaner and several rags handy. Lay down masking tape before beginning to caulk.

Many experts claim that the scent of pruned elm bark attracts beetles, which can carry Dutch Elm Disease. Only trim your elm tree in the early spring, preferably before March 31st if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. Some areas have specific restrictions on the dates when residents are allowed to trim their elm trees. Contact your local government to check if there are regulations in your area. Before you cut any part of the tree, spray all of your equipment with a mixture of equal parts bleach and water, including the chain of a chainsaw, the blade of a handsaw, pruners, loppers, and shears. This will kill any bacteria that is living on the tools and protect your tree from damage.  If you plan to use the equipment to cut another elm tree, dry the tools and re-apply the mixture to the equipment to prevent the spread of Dutch Elm Disease. If you’re using a saw, make sure the blade is sharpened before you begin pruning the tree. When selecting branches for removal, keep in mind that all cuts should be made at the “branch collar,” which is the area where the branch meets the trunk of the tree. Removing branches away from the collar can cause thin regrowth and improper healing. Even if the branch is healthy, it should still be cut close to the trunk to encourage healthy growth. For a mature elm tree, the easiest way to remove branches is with a handsaw or chainsaw. Remember to cut at the branch collar, and look for branches that have broken during the year, or those that have no or very little new growth.  If you can’t determine whether a branch is dead or not, try knocking on the wood. If it makes a hollow noise, it is likely dead and can be removed. For young trees, a set of pruning shears or loppers, which are pruning shears with long handles can help to remove dead branches that are less than 3 inches (7.6 cm) in diameter. Have a plan for where your branches are going to fall before making any cuts. Use proper safety equipment, like safety glasses or harnesses, when working with saws, chainsaws, and...

TL;DR in English: Prune only during the early spring to prevent elm bark beetles. Spray a mixture of bleach and water onto the equipment before pruning. Cut the branches about 2 in (5.1 cm) from the trunk. Remove dead or dying branches with a saw annually. Prune any branches that are rubbing against each other. Adjust the shape of the tree by removing middle and upper branches.

Tell children that all the numbers from 11 to 19 are made up of one ten and a number of additional units. The number 20 is made of two whole tens. Help children visualize this concept by writing the number 11 and, next to it, showing a ten and a single unit, separated by a circle. A ten frame has 10 empty fields, which are filled as you count. You can use coins or other small objects to demonstrate this, and you can also draw it on the board. For a good activity, give each child two ten frames and 20 objects of some kind. Have them create the number 11: one full ten frame, and a second ten frame with just one unit in it. Have them create the other numbers. You can also reverse the process, starting with full ten frames and taking objects away. Show children that you can represent these numbers with dashes and dots: dashes for tens and dots for ones. Demonstrate that the number 15, for example, is made of one dash and five dots. Draw a T on a large piece of paper. The left column represents tens; the right represents ones. Fill the right column with the numbers 1 to 10, in sequence; leave the left column blank. Then:  Add representative numbers of objects, such as small cubes, to the ones column: a single cube next to number 1, two cubes next to number 2, and so on. Explain that you could represent a ten with either ten of the small cubes or one larger stick. Fill the tens column with sticks, one by one, and explain how these numbers would work together to create larger numbers.

TL;DR in English: Explain the basic concept of tens and units. Introduce ten frames. Try using dashes and dots. Draw a T table.

Determine what kind of alloy a ring is made of by reading labels and talking to a jeweler. An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals, in this case used to make the platinum harder. Platinum rings should be marketed listing the quantity of other metals, especially if there is less than 90% pure platinum in the ring.  A 950PLAT ring will typically be alloyed with cobalt, copper (or a combination of the two), iridium, palladium, ruthenium, or tungsten, which makes up the other 50 parts of 1000. If this other 5% is from the platinum metal group (iridium, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium), the ring can be considered 100% precious.  A 900PLAT ring will usually be alloyed with iridium or palladium. Sometimes it will be listed as IRIDPLAT to indicate a mix of 100 parts iridium and 900 parts platinum. An 850PLAT ring will usually be alloyed with palladium. Less than 85% platinum will often be listed with the quantity of palladium or other metal, such as "585PLAT 415PALL." Once you know the content of other metal present in a platinum ring, you can make choices based on the quality that each type yields. Find an alloy that will have the finish and durability you desire.  A composition of 950 parts platinum and 50 parts cobalt is often considered the finest alloy quality for platinum rings. This combination creates an extremely strong and durable ring with a very bright finish, looking almost as if it has been lit from the inside. A ring with 950 parts platinum and 50 parts ruthenium is very durable and almost scratch-resistant, so it is a very fine quality choice. It also has a high shine mirror-like finish. A 950 parts platinum and 50 parts iridium is perhaps the most common alloy sold in platinum rings, but it is not the highest quality. It yields a softer metal which is prone to scratches, pits, and bends, leading to a duller finish over time. Choose a platinum alloy with a certain type of metal if you have a known allergy to one of the common base metals. Note that any ring with a high percentage of pure platinum...

TL;DR in English: Find out what metal the platinum is mixed with. Understand what alloys yield the best quality. Consider possible allergens in metal alloys.

Place a pot with 4-6 cups of water on the stove, and wait for it to boil. You could also use an electric kettle to bring your water to a boiling point. Use old towels that are already stained or dingy, but still clean. Saturate them completely with hot water. Be careful not to scald your hands. This keeps the hot water contained and allows it to rest over the surface of the adhesive, heating it up and loosening it. Leave the towels in place for 3-5 minutes. Then wipe the surface of the floors with the towels. The adhesive should be melted enough to start coming off. Gently run the floor scraper over the surface of any remaining adhesive. Be careful not to seriously scratch or damage your floor.

TL;DR in English: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Soak towels in the hot water. Place the wet towels on the floor. Leave towels in place. Scrape any stubborn adhesive off with a floor scraper.

Caulk is tremendously sticky stuff — it's liable to bind to any "loose" object it touches. Because of this, it's very important to ensure that both your wall and your baseboard are clean before caulking. Dirt, dust, grease, and grime can mix with or stick to your caulk and make it look unappealing. More importantly, however, they can interfere with the ability of the caulk to bind to the surfaces you do want it to stick to. Since one of the uses of baseboard caulking is to prevent water damage, a tight seal is a must.   Use water or a household cleaner like Formula 409 to give your floor, baseboard, and wall a thorough cleaning. Try not to use soap with water, as this combination can leave a slick film on your surfaces, making it difficult for your caulk to stick. For floors that have accumulated lots of dust, vacuuming is one additional quick, efficient cleaning option. If you have the option, try using your vacuum's long, skinny "hard-to-reach-places" attachment to remove dust from corners. While caulking is by no means a dangerous process, it is one that can be frustrating if you are forced to re-do work you've already done. To minimize the risk of avoidable mistakes, ensure that your work area is completely clear of furniture, rugs, and other potential obstructions before beginning. If you have children or pets, you'll also want to make sure they're kept out of your work area by setting up barriers or getting another person to monitor them. Nothing's worse than stopping your project to clean caulk out of a screaming toddler's hair. When you caulk your baseboards, mistakes are inevitable. If it's your very first time, they'll be common. Luckily, when it comes to caulking, it's hard to make serious mistakes. For the vast majority of the errors you'll make, the old-fashioned combination of water and rags will suffice, though many household cleaners will also work well.   Additionally, since you'll be on your hands and knees for most of the caulking process, rags can be used as knee pads to provide comfort....

TL;DR in English:


Use a strainer to transfer the water from the jar to the strainer.

Gather your supplies. Put the dried rose petals into one of the jars. Pour hot, but not boiling, water over the petals. Cover the jar and let the water cool. Put a strainer over the empty jar. Pour the rosewater into the jar. Seal the jar and store it in the fridge.

Thoroughly vacuum both sides of the rug (front and back) to remove loose debris and dirt. Combine warm water, mild dish soap and 3 to 4 cups (.7 l to .9 l) of white vinegar in a bucket. Dip a soft cloth, soft brush or non-shedding sponge into the vinegar solution. Scrub the pile of the rug gently, using linear motions in the direction of the nap. Clean the fringes of the rug as applicable. If the rug has fringes along the edges, gently scrub them using a laundry brush and the vinegar solution. Rinse it with running water or gently wipe the surface with a clean cloth dipped in water. Squeeze out the excess water from the rug. Use a window squeegee to remove excess water if the rug is too large or heavy to lift. Press the squeegee against the rug and pull in the direction of the nap until most of the water is removed. Allow the rug to dry outside in the sunshine. When the nap feels dry, turn the rug over to allow the other side to dry. Allow the rug to dry under a fan If the weather doesn't permit outdoor drying.

TL;DR in English: Vacuum the rug. Create a vinegar-based cleaning solution. Scrub the rug. Rinse the rug. Remove the excess water. Dry the rug.

For example, watching movies, playing video games, or playing a board game will keep you occupied. Play on your phone or tablet, but try to rest your eyes every twenty minutes or so. Play games like Truth or Dare, Would You Rather, and Mafia. You have to pay attention in these games, that will keep you alert. You could also play Guitar Hero or Rock Band. This will keep your mind off of sleeping.  When watching TV, try not to watch re-runs of TV shows you've seen before. The fact that you know what eventually happens makes watching the show boring. Try to watch episodes of TV shows that you've never seen, or that you haven't seen in a while. Same goes for movies. Take frequent breaks when watching any kind of screen, to avoid fatiguing your eyes. Rock or heavy metal is usually louder, or just turn the volume up more. Don't let it get too loud though, or you might wake the host's parents. Take turns using headphones if you have to. This will make the night drag on, and it seems like it will never reach the end of that night. Pay attention to what your friends are doing or talking about instead. The more fun you have, the faster time will seem to pass. Make a rule where if anybody sees anybody else start to fade off, or look drowsy, they can give them a small pinch in the arm or shake them awake. If you see your friends looking drowsy, suggest a change in activities. It's easier to stay awake with help from your friends.

TL;DR in English: Do things that you really enjoy. Listen to loud music. Try not to watch the clock. Rely on each other.

Wrap the tape close to the knuckle. This is the thickest part of your finger, and your ring will need to slide over it comfortably. After all, taking on and off your ring shouldn’t be painful! Choose a cloth or plastic measuring tape for a more accurate measurement. You can try a metal measuring tape, but it’ll be a lot harder to wrap around your finger, and could cause injury.  For an even easier measurement, check out different jeweler's websites for printable ring sizers. You can use these much like a tape measure, only the ring sizes are visible on the ruler itself, which means you don’t have to convert the measurements.  Don’t wrap the paper too tightly. Aim for a snug but comfortable fit. Here’s a fun fact: Even the same fingers on different hands are different sizes. Make sure to use the exact finger that will wear the ring. For an engagement ring, you should be sizing your left ring finger, not your right.  The size of your fingers tends to change throughout the day. Weird, right? For best results, measure at the end of the day. Do this on a separate piece of paper with a pen or pencil. You can record the measurement in inches or millimeters, depending on the retailer. Many will have both measurements available, but a European retailer might only have measurements in millimeters. If you're using a printed ring sizer, mark the point where it overlaps directly on the ruler itself. Now that you’ve got the numbers, it’s time to find your size. You can find these charts at many online jewelry retailers. If you want, you can print the chart for easy reference, but it isn't necessary. These charts convert measurements into ring sizes; for instance, 2.34” (59.5mm) would be a size 9.  If your measurement falls between two sizes, go for the largest size.  If you’re using a printed ring sizer, check where you marked the overlap to figure out your size.

TL;DR in English: Wrap flexible measuring tape around your finger. Record the measurement where the tape overlaps. Compare the measurement to a sizing chart.

In addition to the dried rose petals and hot water, you will also need two glass mason jars and a strainer. If you want to use this water for cooking, then consider getting dried petals from edible roses, such as Rosa damascena, Rosa Centifolia and Rosa Gallica. They will give you the best taste. Make sure that you are using distilled water, which is free of any bacteria. If you cannot find distilled water, then you can use filtered water instead. This will take about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the temperature of the room. You will be transferring the rosewater into this jar; the strainer will catch the rose petals. Carefully put the water in the strainer, so that the water flows into the empty jar and the petals get caught in the strainer. Once all of the water is in the new jar, you can discard the petals. You will need to use this rosewater within one week, or it will expire.

TL;DR in English:


Get a thick chin beard. Wear a set of bushy eyebrows. Get Lincoln's gaunt cheeks with makeup. Tousle your hair.

The straight-in approach is preferred in an emergency, so maintain a higher altitude until you have the airport runway in sight then you can start your descent, keeping the runway in sight. Be sure to ask for the airport with the longest runway and, preferably, for an airport where ATC uses radar. Hopefully you will be in contact with tower by then and they can advise you (with the aid of their radar). If not, then you have to make the approach yourself. Set the throttle to 1500 RPM, with a vertical descent rate of 500 feet (152.4 m). per minute and an airspeed of 80 knots. Remember to move the flaps only one notch at a time. Plan on full flaps down by the time you are five miles out. If your altitude is at least 1,000 ft., set the throttle to "idle" at this point with the mixture at full richness (red knob in). Use carburetor heat only if weather indicates possible icing conditions. Each time you lower the flaps a notch (10°), push forward on the yoke a little to counteract the tendency of the flaps to raise the nose. The airspeed should be 65 knots, with full flaps and a descent rate of 500 feet (152.4 m). per minute.  Use the yoke only for pitch control (nose-up and down) at this point unless there is a crosswind, then you may have to use the yoke to bank slightly into the wind. Use only the rudder pedals to continually line up with the runway and stay on course. Keep everything the same all the way to about three to four feet above the runway, then start slowly raising the nose as the aircraft settles to the runway (called the flare). If you're coming in a bit hot (going a little too fast), you can also raise the flaps to get better braking. Remember that the lower part of the rudder pedals help you to steer while you are on the ground, while the upper parts do the braking.Pilots say "Any landing you can walk away from, is a good landing." Nice job!

TL;DR in English: Know the appropriate conditions for a straight-in approach. Plan to be about four miles from the chosen runway at an altitude of 1,000 feet (304.8 m). AGL (above ground level). Descend toward the 1,000 feet (304.8 m). level (above the runway) and slow the aircraft. Lower the flaps a notch at this point. Stabilize the plane in-line with the runway at four miles out. Check to ensure the throttle is still at idle. Use the rudder pedals to stay in-line with the runway, not the yoke. Hold that attitude, and airspeed. Apply brakes as soon as the nose wheel touches the runway.

Socialization teaches your puppy how to interact properly with various aspects of his environment (e.g., people, other dogs), which will help him grow into a confident and well-mannered adult dog. Allow your puppy to spend time around different people and experience various sights and sounds.  Puppy kindergarten class is a great way to teach your Husky puppy how to interact with other dogs. Enroll your puppy Husky in puppy kindergarten when he is four to five months old.  Other than puppy kindergarten, you can socialize your puppy by exposing him to different situations in his environment, such as the sounds of passing cars and honking horns. You can also invite your friends over to help him become comfortable with new people.  Taking your puppy to a park is another good way to expose him to different people, sights, and sounds. Observe your puppy as he explores his new world. If he appears frightened or wary of certain experiences, do not continue to expose him to those situations. By nature, Huskies are very independent and intelligent dogs. However, they can also be stubborn, which can make training difficult. Obedience classes are ideal for training your Husky.  Enroll your Husky in a "junior" obedience class when she is 4 months old and follow up with adult training around 12 months. For a well-behaved dog, it is imperative you begin training your Husky at a young age. Be aware that your Husky may use her intelligence to differentiate between training class and home — she may perform the training exercises perfectly in class, then misbehave when she gets home. Frustrating as this may be, continue to practice and reinforce her training at home. your Husky. This is particularly important if you have a Husky puppy. Crate training will help the housetraining process go more smoothly—he will not want to urinate or defecate where he sleeps. In addition, crate training will turn his crate into a safe space to go if your Husky feels scared or needs to rest. Your Husky’s crate is  not  a place of punishment....

TL;DR in English: Socialize your Husky puppy. Enroll your adult Husky in an obedience training class.  your Husky.  your Husky. Establish that you are your Husky’s leader.

The test for determining whether a number is divisible by 6 is twofold. First determine whether the number is even. 456 is even, since it ends in 6. Then, determine whether the sum of the digits is divisible by 3. So, you would calculate 4+5+6=15{\displaystyle 4+5+6=15}. The number 15 is divisible by 3. Since 456 passes both tests, it is divisible by 6. Which digits will evenly divide into this number?  1 divides evenly into the number, since any number is divisible by 1. 2 divides evenly into the number, since 1,336 is even. 3 does not divide evenly into the number, since the sum of its digits is 13, and 13 is not divisible by 3. 4 divides evenly into the number, since the last two digits, 36, is divisible by 4. 5 does not divide evenly into the number, since 1,336 does not end in 5 or 0. 6 does not divide evenly into the number. While it is an even number, the sum of its digits is not divisible by 3. 7 does not divide evenly into the number. When you double the last digit (6), and subtract it from the remaining digits, you get 133−12=121{\displaystyle 133-12=121}. Since 121 is not divisible by 7, neither is 1,336. 8 divides evenly into the number, since the last three digits, 336, is divisible by 8. 9 does not divide evenly into the number, since the sum of its digits is 13, and 13 is not divisible by 9. Brian is a kindergarten teacher. He has 363 crayons. He divides his class into four groups. Can he evenly divide the crayons among the four groups? He cannot evenly divide the crayons among the four groups. 363 is not divisible by 4, since it is not an even number, and since the number made from the last two digits, 63, is not divisible by 4.

TL;DR in English: Determine whether the number 456 is divisible by 6. Consider the number 1,336. Solve the following problem.

To prepare the wall for sanding, first fill a bucket with hot water and soap. Then, soak a cloth in the water and wash off the wall. This will remove any dirt or markings that the paint has accumulated, simplifying the rest of the job. Unfortunately rubbing sandpaper against the wall won't work very well. Instead you will need to invest in a sanding block or a sander. A sanding block is a small block of material that you can wrap sandpaper around, making it easier to sand flat surfaces. A sander is a automated tool like a drill that you load sandpaper into and it sands the surface for you.   To use a sanding block, wrap the sandpaper around one side of the block and grip it with your hand from the other side. Sanders can differ in how you load them with the sandpaper, but generally they have a slot that you can load the sandpaper into before turning it on. If you haven't used a sander before, a sanding block is a safer option. A coarser grit on the sandpaper is acceptable because you're aiming to strip the unwanted paint. Use 80-grit sandpaper if you're looking to remove globs of paint. Sanding a wall will cause a risk of inhaling toxic dust, so wear a mask before beginning. Rub the coarse side of the sandpaper against the paint. Move the sanding block or sander back and forth in 1 square foot (0.09 square meter) sections. Apply lots of pressure to the wall if you are using a sanding block. Sand the unwanted paint until the entirety of the paint becomes dull. Then, wipe away the dust. If you prefer to remove the paint entirely as opposed to painting over it, use a paint scraper to peel off the remaining unwanted paint.  Place the paint scraper's blade at the bottom of the unwanted paint, apply pressure to the blade, and slide it under the unwanted paint, peeling the paint off.  The sanding process will have weakened the paint, making it easier to strip.

TL;DR in English: Clean the wall with soap and hot water. Purchase a sanding block or sander to use. Sand away the unwanted paint. Strip the paint if you want to remove it entirely.

Lincoln's beard was arguably his most distinctive attribute. His beard was based around the chin and allowed to grow quite bushy, without hiding his shirt collar. Look at pictures of Lincoln's beard and groom your facial hair to match this. You can also make a fake beard with construction paper or brown felt. Use spirit gum to attach it to your face. Although he's remembered for his beard, there were points in his life where Abraham Lincoln shaved his beard. A woman named Grace Bedell convinced him to grow it out. This had the effect of making Lincoln look more trustworthy and warm. Eyebrows are a distinctive trait of Lincoln's. Although not quite as iconic as the beard, they should be considered if you want to make a convincing Lincoln costume. Either purchase some fake eyebrows from a costume store, or make some of your own by gluing pipe cleaner onto thin strips of brown construction paper. From there, you can glue them to your face using spirit gum. Lincoln had a very striking face, with sunken cheeks and protruding cheekbones. One way to replicate this look is by using stage makeup. You should first suck n your cheeks. This way, you'll be able to see where the contours of your face are. Next, take a grey or brown stage makeup and apply it to the area that's sucked in. Blend the edges with your fingers.  Because "gaunt cheek" makeup is usually reserved for horror costumes, it's a good idea to be very moderate with the makeup you use here, provided you're going for a "realistic" Lincoln.  You can try different variations on makeup to create different looks. A "zombie" Abe Lincoln can be done by using lots of white with black around the eyes. Lincoln was known for preferring to keep his hair unruly, as opposed to smooth. If your hair length is approximately that of Lincoln's, you should tousle it up by rubbing your hands coarsely through it. If your hair is quite long, you can get some of the same untidy impression by trapping all of your hair under your top hat and letting a few strands hang loose.
