People won't expect to pay more for used baby clothes, since they're often inexpensive to begin with. Make sure the clothes are laundered and well presented to make the best sales. If the item is name brand with the tags still on, you can price it a little higher.  If you want to sell clothes that have been heavily used or are stained, price them at $0.50 or $0.25, just to move them off of your lawn.     If you have a ton of baby clothes to sell, consider selling them by the bag for $5.00 or so.    Old shirts, pants, dresses, and other items shouldn't be priced higher than this, unless they're name brand with the tags still on. You might have more luck selling clothes if you leave out the oldest, rattiest items; don't make people dig too deep to find something worth buying. Be sure to polish the shoes to remove scuff marks and worn areas before you display them. If you have a pair of very gently used name brand shoes, you could price them a few dollars higher.  Old tennis shoes should go for less; you may even want to give them away for free. Display shoes attractively, rather than throwing them all in a box.    Launder the coats and display them neatly on hangers. Coats that look like they're 15 years old will sell for less, but if you have a name brand coat that hasn't been worn much, you can price it a little higher.

TL;DR in English: Price baby clothes at $1 - $3. Price adult clothes at $3 - $5. Price shoes at $5 - $7. Price coats at $10 - $15.

Mila has luminous, large, hazel eyes, and she highlights them with black eyeliner.  Mila sometimes wears dark black gel liner that she smudges slightly after applying..  Line the eyes with the  black eyeliner on the top lash line and on lower lash line. Mila also usually puts black liner in the waterline of the eye. Her eye liner slips inside the inner eye rims. Mute the eyeliner on the top lid a bit, perhaps by going over it with gray eyeshadow.  She finishes off the look with a coat of black mascara on both the lower and upper lashes. Mila’s look is all about smoky eyes. False eyelashes could help get you Mila’s striking eyes if your lashes are not naturally long. To continue playing up the smoky eye look, Mila favors eyeshadow in gray, white, and tan color schemes. You might see her with dark purple eyeshadow for a big night out.  Mila favors sparkling eyeshadow at times. Dust the taupe eye shadow all the way around the eyes and up to the creases on the top lids. Take three of your favorite eye shadow colors, but focus on neutrals. Apply the lightest color first and sweep it over your eyes up to your eyebrows. Then, take the next darker color, and put that in the center of your eyelid.  Then, take the third darkest color and put them on the outer edge of your eye. Make sure you blend with a brush. Mila’s eyebrows are dark and shaped. They aren’t too thin. Although they are on the thicker side, they are neatly shaped.  To better shape the brows, take an small angled brow brush and use dark brown eye powder. This will create a natural look. Use transparent brow gel after you apply the brow powder, in order to seal the look and retain the shaped eyebrows.

TL;DR in English: Emphasize the eyes at all times. Wear non-pastel eyeshadow. Shape your eyebrows.

Poison ivy can take the form of an upright woody shrub, and trailing shrub, or a woody vine, but the leaves are always compound leaves consisting of three leaflets coming off the same stalk.  Each leaflet is generally 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) long. The middle leaflet is usually slightly bigger than the other two.     The leaves have pointed tips and are often green and glossy, but some poison ivy plants have dull green leaves, instead.     Poison ivy plants can grow in a range of areas, but it is most commonly found along wooded trails, roadsides, and fenced rows. Wear gloves as you work to prevent the plant from coming into contact with your skin. Wear long pants, long sleeves, socks, and shoes. Cover as much skin as possible. Discard or wash the gloves after the plant has been removed. Also wash the clothes you wore. Thoroughly rinse the washing machine after washing your work clothes to avoid contaminating the rest of your laundry.    New or small poison ivy shrubs can be dug up using a shovel. When removing the plant, remove all parts, including the entire root.  Note that poison ivy plants can grow from root sections, so the entire root must be removed in order to ensure that the plant will not return.     Removal is most effective when the soil is moist. If you cannot pull or dig out the root of a long vine or mature plant, use sturdy garden shears to cut the plant off at the base.  Sever the plant as close to the ground or visible base as possible. Keep up on the process. You may need to continually cut the plant down before you successfully starve it. Thoroughly clean the shears after cutting the plant to wipe away the poisonous oil. Use soap and water or bleach diluted with water. Chemical herbicides can be applied to freshly cut poison ivy or to poison ivy plants that have not been cut.  To maximize effectiveness, apply a chemical herbicide immediately after you cut the plant down to the ground. Do not wait to do so since the plant may close the fresh "wound," thereby eliminating your ability to...

TL;DR in English: Identify the poison ivy. Take protective measures. Dig up small plants. Cut down larger plants. Apply herbicide. Discard removed poison ivy plants.

A regular board, one foot (30 cm) long and six inches (15 cm) wide, should work well for your pistol. Wood in these dimensions can be purchased at most hardware stores or lumber yards. There are some tools you should have on had so that you can fashion the piece of would you found into a really cool rubber band pistol. To make your pistol, you'll need:  Pencil (or felt tipped marker) Saw Knife Rubber bands Nails (thin kind) Hammer With a pencil or felt tipped marker, draw the desired outline of your pistol on your piece of wood. You may want to refer to an online picture of a pistol to serve as a model for your drawing. Do this by catching one end of your rubber in the notch you made at the front of the barrel and pulling it into the jaws of the clothespin. While the clothespin is closed, the pistol will be loaded with a rubber band. To fire, open the clothespin and shoot the rubber band.

TL;DR in English: Find a flat, relatively thin piece of wood. Pull together your pistol production parts. Draw your pistol on the wood as a guide. Load your pistol with a rubber band.

Baby naming books are easy to find in the library, and there are a number of online naming lists and websites. If you have a specific category you want your baby name to come from, such as nature-inspired names, classic boy names, gender-neutral names, or Southern names for girls, be sure to enter that as online search terms. When looking through lists of names, try not to get overwhelmed by the number of choices. Just read and search until one jumps out at you and seems to stick. When you're sure you're happy with the name talk to your partner about it. It just might be the one. Some countries, like Iceland and Denmark, only allow babies to be given nationally approved names. To narrow down your search, consider choosing an ethnic name from a pre-approved list, like those for Iceland. Skimming baby or parenting magazines, watching entertainment news on TV, and even listening to popular songs on the radio that are specific to your personal preferences might offer inspiration on the latest and greatest names.  Beware of name fads that quickly fizzle out in terms of popularity. For example, timeless names, like “Charlotte” and “Poppy” are becoming wildly popular again, but so are very modern names, like “Meadow” and “Story.” Although “Meadow” and “Story” are cute names now, make sure that you and your partner will still find them attractive when their popularity dies out and newer naming trends take their place. This strategy definitely isn’t for everyone, but some parents desire public opinion. At the baby shower, guests can submit names of their choosing for your review or you can host a poll on social media, where your friends vote on your top five preferred names.  You aren’t obligated to ultimately choose the name that gets the popular vote, but be sure not to make any promises ahead of time. You don't want those who vote to participate with expectations and then have their feelings hurt if you make an alternative choice, so be sure to let your voters know the poll is just for fun. Sometimes nicknames can...

Wet your hair. Smooth the mixture all over your hair. Cover your hair with plastic wrap or a disposable shower cap. Add heat. Leave the treatment in for 30 minutes to an hour. Rinse out the treatment. Style as usual and enjoy your moisturized hair.

Right after you have completed the Taker chain quest, you will be given three choices for your very first class advancement: Sword Taker, Over Taker, or Weapon Taker. Choose the Sword Taker.  If you make a mistake, you can cancel the quest by simply opening your Quest Log, clicking on the first class advancement quest, and then choosing “Withdraw/Cancel.” The Sword Taker is one of the fastest class in the game. Even the Elsword, who has great speed and attack power, cannot match the Sword Taker's quick movements and speed. Aside from fast movement, the Sword Taker has decent HP; this increases their ability to survive in every battle. After accepting the quest through your Quest Log or taking it from the Elder Village's announcement board, you will be asked to meet Lenphad in Elder Village. You can find him right next to Echo, working as the Blacksmith. Lenphad will give you a set of tasks before he can change you to a Sword Taker. All the quests will be collecting quest items rather than killing monsters. All items can be obtained from one map. To complete this last leg of the quest, you have to enter Wally's Castle under Very Hard difficulty. You must kill Wally's Guardians, Soldiers, and the mini-boss Vergnert in order to obtain the quest items listed at the right-hand side of your screen.  You may enter the dungeon multiple times without losing your progress, and this quest can be done while in a party. There's no time limit or required grade, so it's best to enter every floor for monsters, which may give you rare item drops as well. After you have completed the quest, return to Lenphad and he will turn your character into Sword Taker.

TL;DR in English: Take the Sword Taker quest. Meet Lenphad. Fight the monsters in Wally's Castle.

You can use the text editor that comes with your computer, such as Microsoft's Notepad or OS X's TextEdit. Sometimes, even if it's filled with unreadable characters, a DAT file will include some text that provides clues as to what type of file it is.  For example, if you suspect a DAT file is actually a video file, you can try to open it in a video player. If you edit a DAT file with unreadable characters and then save it, it will break the DAT file, making it unusable even if you opened it in the correct program. Make changes to the DAT file like you would any other text file, and then save the file.

TL;DR in English: Open the DAT file using a text editor. Look for clues about the file's origin. Edit the DAT file.

By holding off until your roses have neared their full size, you can ensure that they’ll be able to withstand having whole sections removed. A mature knockout rose should be about 4 feet (1.2 m) tall by 4 feet (1.2 m) wide before you begin hacking at it.  A fully-grown knockout rose will require the most pruning around mid-February to early March. Young roses, by contrast, only need to be touched up throughout the growing period to remove dead or dying growth.  Knockout roses can often go as long as 2-3 years between major prunings, depending on how rapidly they grow and how big or small you like to keep your plant. Look for small buds to begin forming along the stems of the plant. If the existing buds have swelled up but no new growth has appeared, it means the roses are ready to prune.  The main pruning period for knockout roses is in late winter or early spring, just as the plant prepares for another season of growth.  You can still prune your roses even if new growth has already begun. Buds might start forming early if the winter was especially mild. In this case, snip the growth back to the first dormant bud. Clip one or both canes as needed to get the plant’s interior structure growing straight and vertical. Creating some separation between the canes prevents them from rubbing against one other, making the plant look neater and promoting stronger, more lasting growth.  By reducing the density of your rose bushes early in the season, you can make sure they continue putting out neat, attractive growth all year long. Thinning out overlapping canes and stems also promotes better air circulation through your rose bushes, making them less vulnerable to fungal diseases. You can cut healthy shoots back considerably without worrying about harming the plant. Doing so will prevent your roses from putting too much energy into maintaining an overabundance of foliage. As a result, it will produce more flowers.  Keep in mind that your knockout roses will grow vigorously after being pruned. As a general rule, you’ll...

TL;DR in English: Wait until the second or third season of growth to cut back your roses. Prune your roses as soon as the buds break dormancy. Start by cutting away overlapping canes. Remove one-third to one-half of the plant’s overall size. Trim your bushes to the desired height and width.

Your body needs a steady supply of protein throughout the say so that you can gain muscle. To gain muscle, you should eat 0.75 to 1.0 gram of protein per pound of your body weight, and protein should be 10-35% of your total calories for the day.  Make sure you are eating high quality protein such as lean meat, poultry, fish, or beans.  1 large egg = 6 grams 1 cup low-fat milk = 8 grams 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt = 12 grams ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese = 14 grams 2 tablespoons peanut butter = 8 grams 1 cup quinoa = 8 grams 3 ounces of lean ground beef = 22 grams 3 ounces skinless, baked chicken = 26 grams 3 ounces grilled salmon = 21 grams Adults should get 7-8 hours of sleep a night.  While you are sleeping, muscle building hormones (e.g., human growth hormone) are released and your muscles are able to recover from exercise. Not getting enough sleep may keep your muscles from growing and recovering from exercise as they should.  #*If you do not get enough sleep, you also may be too tired to exercise or crave more unhealthy foods. Your muscles are comprised of mostly water and need water to function properly.  Men need about 13 cups of water per day, and women need about 9 cups of water per day.  If you exercise, you will need to drink about 1.5 to 2.5 more cups of water per day. Fat will help fuel your muscles during exercise.  Limit saturated and trans fats and consume heart healthy fats.  Extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, walnuts, almonds, avocados, salmon, trout, and sardines are good choices.  Fats should make about 20 to 35 percent of your daily caloric intake. It is important to monitor serving sizes when consuming fats as they have twice the number of calories as protein and carbohydrates. For example, 1 tablespoon of olive oil contains 120 calories and ~14 walnuts has 185 calories. Carbohydrates will help fuel your muscles.  You will have difficulty completing your yoga poses if your body does not have the energy it needs.  About 50% of your calories should come from carbohydrates. Whole grain...

TL;DR in English: Eat enough protein. Get enough sleep. Drink plenty of water. Include quality fats in your diet. Consume healthy carbohydrates.

There are many companies out there that will offer to repair your drive for a  (not so small) fee. Before plunking down any cash, check their credentials. Look at online user forums, talk to them, and find out how long they've been in business and what their recovery percentage is.  Check their guarantee, and how much they charge for both success (which you will gladly pay for) or for failure. How much is it worth to you for them to make a failed attempt. You may not want to pay for a recovery that didn't happen, but if they attempted to repair and if failed, they still spent some amount of time trying, which should be compensated.

TL;DR in English: Get recommendations.

Moisture will penetrate your hair better, and you hair will retain more water, when it's wet. You can also wash your hair if you like, but you may need to rewash after the treatment. Combing it out is good if your hair is not tangled, but if it is, leave it be. You may want to section your hair so that you ensure that the treatment reaches everywhere.  You can use a heated shower cap, use your blow-dryer to heat up your hair or warm up a towel in the dryer. Just make sure to heat up your hair--this also helps the moisture penetrate the hair shaft better. The longer the better. You can also leave it in overnight. Shampoo and condition your hair. Don't use a clarifying shampoo, as this may strip too much of the moisture that you have just added to your hair. Make sure to brush thoroughly to remove any particles left behind. It should be soft and refreshed.

Freestone peaches are peaches where the flesh removes easily from the pit. These are the easiest peaches to can. Freestone peaches are the peaches most commonly found in grocery stores and markets. Keep in mind that it takes about 5 large peaches to fill 1 quart jar. Run the peaches and bowl under cold water. Blanching peaches makes it easier to peel the peaches and stops the enzymes from degrading the flavor during storage. To do this, fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Put the peaches in the boiling water and make sure that they are submerged.  Leave the peaches in the water for 40 seconds. If the peaches are slightly under-ripened, leave them in the boiling water for 1 minute. Place the blanched peaches on a cutting board and use a knife to cut them in quarters. Throw away the pits. The lemon juice will keep the peaches from browning.

TL;DR in English: Select your peaches. Place the peaches in a bowl. Blanch peaches in boiling hot water. Quarter the peaches. Pour ¼ cup of lemon juice onto the peaches.

Each time you clean, dust your walls. You can use a broom and a towel or lightly vacuum your walls with the detachable broom brush of your vacuum. Regular dusting can prevent white walls from becoming too dirty. Moisture can cause walls to become dirty or even moldy. White walls in areas like your kitchen or bathroom require extra protection from moisture. Always wipe down the walls after showering. Pick up a water repellent at a local department store and coat the walls with that. As soon as a smudge gets on a wall, remove it with a small amount of warm water. If you target sponges quickly, they should wipe off easily. Make a habit of wiping off smudges as you notice them to prevent dirt and grime from building up on your walls.

TL;DR in English: Dust your walls regularly. Protect your walls from moisture. Use plain water to remove smudges as they occur.

If you develop back pain that won't go away after a few days, then schedule an appointment with your family physician. Your doctor will examine your back (spine) and ask questions about your family history, diet, and lifestyle, and maybe even take X-rays or send you for a blood test (to rule out rheumatoid arthritis or a spinal infection). However, your family doctor is not a musculoskeletal or spinal specialist, so you may need a referral to another doctor with more specialized training.  Other types of healthcare professionals who could help diagnose and treat mechanical back pain include osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapists, and massage therapists.  Prior to any acupressure treatments, your family doctor may recommend anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin to help you cope with your back pain. Mechanical low back pain is not considered a serious medical condition, although it can be quite painful and debilitating. Typical causes include spinal joint sprains, spinal nerve irritation, muscle strains and spinal disc degeneration. However, medical specialists such as an orthopedist, neurologist or rheumatologist may be needed to rule out the most serious causes of back pain such as infection (osteomyelitis), cancer, osteoporosis, fracture, herniated disc, kidney disease or rheumatoid arthritis. X-rays, bone scans, MRI, CT scan and ultrasound are modalities that specialists may use to help diagnose your back pain. Make sure you get the doctor to clearly explain the diagnosis, especially the cause (if possible), and provide you with various treatment options for your condition. Acupressure is only appropriate for mechanical back pain and not for more serious causes such as cancer, which would likely require chemotherapy, radiation and/or surgery. Pain from mechanical back pain can be severe, but it doesn't involve high fevers, rapid weight loss, bladder/bowel problems or loss of leg function, which are all signs of something more serious. If you feel overwhelmed learning about...

Indeed, you are always in the present, but it can be easy to let your mind wander back into the past. Learn to consciously choose where you place your attention. Notice when you are fixating on the past, and force yourself to turn your gaze to what is around you this moment. Check yourself. Consider whether ruminating on the past is useful for you. When you replay the past, your mind only has a finite number of memories to relive. Your thoughts run in loops, and it is easy to wallow in your emotions – but you have a choice in the matter! If you are beating yourself up about something that you did or didn't do: remind yourself that you did what you could. You were acting on the information that you had at the time, and you made your choice as the result of a specific set of circumstances. You might make a different choice now – but that was the choice that you made then. You are human, and it's okay to make mistakes. Whenever this thing from the past comes up in conversation, try not to complain or wistfully reminisce about it. The way that you frame something dictates the way that you interact with it. Instead of talking about the negative, unchangeable aspects of the situation, try to talk about what you've learned. Share the bright side, and see how that shapes your perspective.

TL;DR in English: Try to live in the present. Forgive yourself. Change the way that you talk about the past.

to generate plot ideas. You need to write out your ideas before you can develop them into a complete story. Try freewriting everything that comes to mind, or list out your ideas. Don’t worry about making sense. Just try to uncover possible ideas for your story.  Brainstorm about your story idea, characters, setting, or scene ideas, depending on what comes to mind. You might make a mind map to develop your ideas in a visual manner. Your premise is the basic idea for the story. You might start with just a sentence, but keep developing it until you have a short blurb.  You might start with something like this: Two best friends are in a car accident, but only 1 girl is recovered from the car. Here’s an example blurb: Kait and her best friend Maria are thrilled when they’re invited to the party of the year. On their way home, however, Kait’s car slides on the wet road and crashes into a tree. When she wakes up in the hospital, Kait learns Maria wasn’t in the car. Now everyone believes Maria ran off with someone, but Kait knows her friend was with her on the night of the crash. Write down your character’s description, personal details, traits, and likes and dislikes. Create a backstory for your main characters.  Describe your character at the beginning of the story, as well as how they’ll change over the course of the story.  Most importantly, identify what your character wants in the story.  Character sheets can be as long or as short as you like. For a short story, you might create a brief outline for your supporting characters. You can find character sheet templates here: https://onestopforwriters.com/templates_worksheets. Your conflict should appear early in the story so your readers experience tension as they read. You’ll develop this conflict throughout the story, reaching the peak of the conflict at the climax. At the end of the story, your conflict should be resolved.  Internal conflicts are between the character and themself. For example, the character may know what they are doing is wrong but struggle to...

TL;DR in English:


Reinsert the spring assembly and the pop rivets. Clamp the vise back on and rotate it the same amount as before. Remove the vise, reattach the awning leg, and peel the tape off. Snap the bracket legs back in, then remove the tape and screwdriver. Clean and lubricate the track, then cover the open end with tape. Slide the fabric into the track with 2 other people helping you. Remove the tape from the brackets and screw them back into place. Snap the legs back into place and straighten the awning. Reinsert the screws.

These usually look like small pink circles and may appear slightly raised around the edges. The anus is just under the tail, and the urogenital opening, the location of the urinary and genital organs, is above the anus toward the center of the abdomen. Sex differences are more difficult to spot in very young pups, but it is possible to sex a pup by looking at the distance between its anus and its urogenital opening. In females, the openings are very close together. You may actually have trouble telling them apart so that the urogenital opening, which in this case is the vulva, and the anus almost seem to be a single opening or structure. In males, the openings are farther apart, so there is very clear separation between the anus and the urogenital opening. You may also see small swellings in the groin area if you have a male. These are the growing testicles. If you can only find one opening, especially if it seems rather large, you should suspect you are dealing with a female, but recheck the animal often or consult an experienced exotics veterinarian just in case you missed the second opening.  This opening can be subtle in a very young male, especially if the animal you are working with is a tiny dwarf hamster. The most common pet hamsters, Syrian hamsters, are solitary and need to be kept in individual cages, so early sexing is not very important. Dwarf hamsters, on the other hand, are kept in single-sex groups.  If you have pups in a single-sex group, you need to recheck them often until sex is obvious. This will help you avoid accidental pregnancies in your group.

TL;DR in English: Locate the two openings on the underside of the hamster. Assess the distance between the anus and the urogenital opening. Recheck the hamster at another time if you are still not sure.

Walk through your competitor’s stores to check their layout and estimate how much space they use. Your needs will vary depending on your business, but generally you’ll need sales floor, stock room, dressing rooms, offices, and bathrooms.  You can estimate your sales floor needs using this simple calculation: sales volume divided by sales per square foot. You can find average retail sales per square foot at the statista website. If your business is already up and running, take a look at your financial performance. If you haven’t opened your business yet, you’ll have to estimate how much money is in your budget for retail space. You want to find four or five possible spaces to rent. Look online at websites such as Loopnet.com, where you can search by location, property type, lease rate, and space size. There are also subscription services, such as Co-Star. However, you will have to pay in order to use them. If you can’t find anything using free searches, then you might want to consider a subscription service. Commercial landlords still advertise in the newspaper. Find the classifieds. Usually, any landlord that advertises in the newspaper also has a website you can visit. Check the website for other properties the landlord has available.

TL;DR in English: Determine how much space you need. Estimate what you can afford. Search online. Look in the newspaper.

People who break knuckles often report feeling a popping or snapping sensation in their hand the moment the break occurs.  The snapping feeling can be caused by the actual breaking of the bone or pieces of the bone popping out of their original place.  If you feel this occur, it is a good idea to stop what you’re doing and examine your hand. The popping sensation isn’t always present when a knuckle is broken.  Whether or not you’ll experience a popping feeling depends on the severity of your fracture. A broken knuckle is often referred to as a “boxer’s fracture” because it occurs most often when a person punches a hard surface.  When your injury happened, were you punching a wall or some other immovable surface?  Maybe you were involved in a fist fight.  If you have been hitting something solid, there’s a good chance you may have broken your knuckle.  There are other possible ways to break your knuckle that are not as common.  You can break your knuckle while falling down, working with machines or doing any activity that exposes your hand to trauma. Some doctors now call a broken knuckle a “brawler’s fracture” instead of a “boxer’s fracture” because boxers prevent broken knuckles by wearing protective gear.  You’re more likely to break a knuckle hitting something with your bare fist. A broken knuckle will be accompanied with severe, immediate pain.  Right when the injury occurs, you will experience a sharp pang in your hand which will be followed by an intense throbbing feeling.  Depending on your body’s tolerance for pain, the feeling can be debilitating and force you to stop whatever you’re doing. If your knuckle only has a minor fracture, the pain may not be as severe.  However, you should still stop using your hand as you could further injure your knuckle. The moment you break your knuckle, the blood will start flowing towards the area of the fracture causing your hand to get hot.  Check the temperature in your injured hand and then your other hand.  If your injured hand feels much warmer than the other...

TL;DR in English: Experience a popping sensation. Identify the cause of the injury. Feel immediate pain. Take the temperature of your hand.

A child can be impacted by a traumatic event but keep it bottled up inside out of a misguided need to be strong or courageous for family, or fear of upsetting others. They should have opportunities to talk about their feelings about the event, and they should also have opportunities to do fun things completely unrelated to it.  Tell your child that they can come to you if they have fears, questions, or things they want to talk about. If your child does so, give them your full attention and validate their feelings.  If the traumatic event made the news (e.g. a school shooting or natural disaster), reduce your child's exposure to media sources, and monitor their use of the internet and TV. Repeated exposure to the event on the news can make it harder for the child to recover.  Providing emotional support can reduce your child's risk of developing trauma, or make the trauma less severe than it could have been. Some children may not give evidence for being upset for several weeks or even months. Avoid rushing a child to explore and express their feelings. It can take time for some children to process what has happened. The responses, reactions and abilities of those immediately responsible for a child influence the child's ability to cope with a traumatic occurrence. While your love and support is very helpful, sometimes children need more than this to help them recover from terrifying events. Don't be afraid to seek help for your child. The types of therapy likely to assist recovery for your child include psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioral therapy, hypnotherapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).  If the traumatic event happened to multiple family members, or if you think the family could use help, look into family therapy. While it is only natural for you to want to try to be the support for your child, going it alone will make it harder on you, especially if you have also experienced the traumatic event. Your child will pick up on it if you're distressed or scared, and...

TL;DR in English: Be aware that even if a child does not display any or a few of these symptoms, that doesn't mean they're coping. Assume that a child who has been part of a traumatic event needs to be cared for with extra attention to helping them through the event. Keep an eye out, even if signs of trauma don't show up right away. Seek help for signs of trauma as soon as possible. Have your child see a counselor or psychologist if they seem to be struggling to cope. Look into what type of therapy would be right for your child. Don't try to cope alone. Encourage your child's interaction with others. Support your child's health. Be available for your child in the here and now.

Since deer's natural food source is made up from woody vegetation, it becomes harder for them to find food during the winter. This is the reason many people choose to feed deer. If you decide to feed deer during the winter months, be careful to feed them the proper types of food and slowly introduce it into their diets.  Begin introducing food slowly so that it does not harm the deer. Begin combine supplemental food with their natural diet of woody vegetation. This combination of new food into their natural diet will provide a smooth transition for their digestive tracks. Set up feeders or troughs in your yard. Set the feeders or troughs up as far away from your home as possible. If you have the means, you can keep your feeders or troughs full at all times. If not, you should stick to a set feeding time. The deer will become accustomed to eating your food, so try to keep the feeding on a regular schedule. Early morning or sunset are good times for feeding. Many people choose to supply deer with food only during the winter months, as this is when their natural food sources are the most scarce. But if you have the means, consider providing supplemental food to your deer year round. This will allow deer to adapt to the supplemental food so that it doesn't shock their system. This will also teach dear to combine their supplemental and natural food sources. When deer are fed by humans, they can easily become dependent and stop foraging for food naturally. If you feed deer and then suddenly stop (even if you've simply run out of food temporarily), the deer may go hungry or start bothering you for more food. You should slowly wean deer off of supplemental food so that they can begin foraging for food on their own again. Take the food away slowly and not all at once.

TL;DR in English: Feed deer during the winter months. Offer supplemental food to deer year round. Do not suddenly stop feeding deer.

Pick the spring assembly up and slide it back into the roller tube. Rotate the endcap until the line you made earlier matches up with the awning control lever. Use a pop riveter to reinsert the rivets. Do the top rivet first, then rotate the tube and do the bottom rivet. Place the vise grip back onto the bolt. Lock it into place, then rotate it counterclockwise. Count the rotations as you rotate it, then stop when you reach the number you counted earlier. Take the vise grip off first. Pop the awning leg back into place, then reinsert the bolts and screws. Peel the tape off of the bracket. Take the legs that are attached to the RV, and lower them into the legs on the ground. Snap them back into place, then peel the tape off of the top brackets. Remove the Philips head screwdriver from the back/left end of the roller tube and replace the plastic cap. Cover the end of a flathead screwdriver with a paper towel, then stick it into the track. Slide the screwdriver back and forth along the track to remove any dirt. Lubricate the track, then cover the split end with tape.  Spray the inside of the track with spray silicone lubricant, just like you did for the 2 channels on the roller tube. The split end of the track is the end that you pried open with the flathead screw driver. The edges are sharp, so cover them with masking or electrical tape. This is just like when you slid the fabric out of the track, but in reverse. Have a person hold up each awning leg.  Have a third person slide the end of the fabric into the split end of the track. Walk alongside the RV, tugging on the fabric as you go. Prop the legs on the ground, and roll the awning out by 1 foot (30 cm). Remove the tape from the brackets, then screw them back into place. When you are done, you can snap the legs back into place at the base of the RV. For an even more durable finish, coat the screws with a waterproof sealer first. Silicone caulking will work great here. If you have not already, snap the awning legs back into place at the base of the RV. Unroll...

The average Yorkshire terrier can live anywhere from 12 to 16 years. This dog will be in your life for a long time, so don’t get a puppy if you’re not prepared to make a long-term commitment. Furthermore, dogs who don’t get enough care and attention on a day-to-day basis often develop behavior problems like excessive barking, chewing, and digging in the yard. While Yorkies don’t need as much exercise as other breeds might, they do need a lot of attention and love. If you don’t have the time to give your pet all the attention it needs to be happy and well-adjusted, wait until you’re ready to bring a dog into your family. When you get a Yorkie, you’ll have to pay more than just the one-time purchase price. All dogs have ongoing needs throughout their life, including good quality food, toys, grooming, licensing fees, and routine medical checkups. You’ll also spend a lot of money during the first year on a crate, a carrier bag, training sessions, spaying/neutering, vaccinations, etc. The ASPCA estimates that in the first year, small dog owners will spend about $1,314 on their new pet, then $580 yearly after that. There's a great deal of variation in size, temperament, and needs from breed to breed. Even if you love all dogs, you should think carefully about whether a specific breed will be a good fit for you and your family. Yorkshire terriers have many positive traits:  They are a "Toy" breed, meaning they are small lap dogs that won't hog the couch or be able to overpower you when they get excited. They're highly adaptable, and do well in large homes and apartments alike. Though each dog will have its own personality, in general, Yorkies are cat-friendly. Yorkies are a highly intelligent breed, and take well to training. They're incredibly affectionate companions who love to be around their families. Though there’s a lot to recommend the Yorkies, all breeds have drawbacks that might make them a bad fit for a particular household. Some things you should know about Yorkshire terriers before bringing one home...

TL;DR in English: Consider whether you are ready to make a time commitment to a new puppy. Calculate whether you can afford a dog. Decide whether a Yorkie is the right breed for you. Be aware of the drawbacks of the breed. Choose your ideal Yorkie size.

Even if your boss becomes emotional, you want to maintain your professional manner so that he cannot use anything against you. Note that your boss may become even more aggravated by your calm and professional demeanor, and if this is the case, explain to your boss that you would like to continue the conversation, but the last thing you want is to upset him, so suggest picking up the issue at a later time. If you lose your cool, your boss can blame you, even if you’re upset over something completely legitimate.  If you find yourself getting emotional in the middle of a conversation, excuse yourself and ask to resume the conversation at a later time. If you hear yourself raising your voice, stop, slow down, and take a few deep breaths. If you can’t keep the conversation at a normal level, then you should resume it later. Of course you have issues that you may want to discuss personally, but if he feels that you are criticizing him, he may turn the tables and place the focus on you. If this is the case, be professional. Listen to his concerns and tell him that you appreciate his feedback and that you will work on the issues, and then politely return to the problems you have. Don’t get defensive or ignore anything he is telling you.  In fact, it can be helpful to ask yourself if you’re doing everything you can correctly before you start a conversation with your boss. You may be having problems with your boss because you have been doing something wrong without realizing it. It’s best to anticipate anything your boss might say, such as the fact that you’re always late or that your reports need to be proofread more, before you start the conversation. Otherwise, you may be taken aback. Don’t interrupt your boss and wait for him to finish giving his feedback. You don’t want him to think that you’re above listening to him. A difficult boss will be at their worst when you've made a major mistake, but you may be able to partly salvage the situation by handling failure at work with honesty and integrity. If your boss is...

TL;DR in English: Refrain from becoming emotional during any discussions with your boss. Be prepared to discuss criticism of yourself when approaching a difficult boss with concerns. Understand that you cannot change your boss. Remain professional when confronting your boss, even if you feel your blood boiling. Do not go over your boss’s head if you can avoid it.

While many objects may seem harmless to your dog or you don't expect them to be interested in them, it is best to keep small objects and human toys off of the floor or any reachable areas where your dog will be spending time.  There are many products in your house and yard that are dangerous to dogs and should be kept well out of reach by locking them in a storage area or putting them somewhere the dog doesn't have access to. Some of the more common ones include, household cleaners, insecticides, fertilizers, and mouse and rat poisons. Both house plants and plants in your yard or garden can be toxic, including rhododendrons, chrysanthemum, and oleander. Identify the plants in your home and garden and then contact your veterinarian or look online at sites such as the ASPCA and Pet poison helpline for complete lists of pet toxins. Also, medicines both human and animal, can be toxic to your dog, especially if consumed in large amounts. Some of the foods that we eat, including chocolate, onions, raisins and grapes, and even sugarless chewing gums, can be toxic to dogs as well and should be kept well out of reach. Before you bring your dog home one of the first things to decide on is where your dog will be spending their time. Think about what areas of the house they will be allowed to access and what areas you want to keep off limits. These rules should be enforced from the very beginning to avoid confusion.  Your dog will need designated areas to eat and sleep and plenty of space to play and exercise. Initially you may want to limit the areas the dog has access to so that you can watch them closely until you get to know them and their behavior better. The kitchen or another area that is convenient to clean is a good place to set up food and water bowls. Once you decide on a place, you will want to keep them there at all times. Next decide where your dog will sleep. Some people like to have their dog sleep in the bed with them, while others prefer to get a doggie bed or crate for them to sleep separately. Be...

TL;DR in English: Dog-proof your house. Give your dog a designated area. Purchase all the supplies you will need.

Over time, organic matter, such as pine needles, compost or composted manure, can lower your soil’s pH. However, this can take many years and is only applicable if you have long-term gardening goals. This is a good option for organic gardening.  Organic matter is also useful for improving a soil's drainage and aeration. Because of the amount of organic matter used and the time needed to break it down into usable soil, this application is best for small plots. Another way to increase your soil’s acidity gradually is by adding sulfur. The effectiveness of sulfur depends on a number of factors, including moisture, temperature, and bacteria. Because these factors can be unpredictable, the ability of sulfur to lower a soil’s pH can take several months.  You can buy sulfur at most home and garden stores. Avoid using powdered sulfur because it is too fine for acidifying soil. The increase in acidity is due to a biological reaction involving bacteria. This compound instantly makes the soil more acidic due to a chemical reaction involving aluminum. Because of this, many amateur and small-scale gardeners prefer aluminum sulfate to organic compounds or plain sulfur. However, because it alters the pH of the soil so quickly, it can be more difficult to control the soil acidity.  You can buy aluminum sulfate at most home and garden stores. Because aluminum sulfate creates a chemical reaction in the ground, as opposed to a biological one, some farmers and gardeners are less inclined to use it over materials that produce acidity through a biological reaction. You will need to till the organic compounds, sulfur and aluminum sulfate into the soil to be effective. Organic compounds may need multiple applications depending on the soil pH. Be sure to test the soil before reapplying. Avoid over applying the sulfur or aluminum sulfate. If the sulfur or aluminum sulfate gets on the leaves of your plants, you will need to rinse it off with a hose. Failure to rinse them off can result in burns to the leaves and damage to your plants....

TL;DR in English: Use organic materials. Consider applying sulfur. Think about adding aluminum sulfate. Till the materials into the soil. Rinse your plants after application.

Colon cleansing can take a few forms. You can perform a colonic, also known as colon hydrotherapy. This is done using a small tube inserted into the rectum, through which warm water is gently pumped. You can also take an oral solution to increase excrement output, which are essentially homemade laxatives.  Doing water or salt water enemas at home without a professional assistance is not recommended unless instructed to do so by a doctor.  Most mainstream physicians do not recommend regular colonics for healthy individuals, though some natural doctors and other healthcare professionals recommend colon cleansing once or twice a year to help release toxins. Colon cleanses can be very helpful, but can also become harmful over time. Even natural, homemade colon cleansers can be hurtful to you. Just because something is natural doesn’t mean it is harmless and a serious problem can occur if you begins to depend on colon cleansers rather than your  healthy, natural colon function.  This dependence is called laxative abuse and can be an addiction much like any other. Laxative abuse can result in damage to the kidneys and the cardiovascular system and can be life-threatening.  Never use a cleanse more than every six months unless under the care of a health professional. Once you do a colon cleanse, you need to put back in certain nutrients, called prebiotics and probiotics, into your body. Be prepared to restock and support your colon bacteria by eating foods that contain good bacteria for at least one to two months after you cleanse. These foods include:  Bananas Garlic Leeks Wheat bran Asparagus  Sauerkraut Kefir Yogurt Kimchee Aged cheeses Talk to your doctor before you try any colon cleanse. Discuss the type of cleanse you plan on doing to be certain it isn't going to hurt you. Certain herbs, fruits, and vegetables can interact with prescription medications, so be aware of the side effects of your medications.  As a general rule, anyone with a condition that affects the digestive tract, the kidneys, the liver, or...

Existentialism is a philosophical movement grounded in a particular historical context, and transferring its tenets to today's cultural moment means understanding what it meant when it developed. It developed and flourished in Europe during the 1940s and 1950s, in a post-war context in which many people felt disillusioned with organized religion and society and felt like life had no real meaning or purpose. Like all branches of philosophy, existentialism developed through the writings of prominent philosophers. Start by reading works of Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Albert Camus.  While de Beauvoir wrote many works that are considered essential reading, The Second Sex is a great place to start. It is a critical look at society's gender roles, and garnered de Beauvoir a reputation as a founder of the feminist movement.  Try Jean-Paul Sartre's book 'Nausea' where he lays out the basics of existentialism. As a philosophy, existentialism is based on a major premise and several minor premises:  The major premise of existentialism is that the meaning of existence and the nature of humanity cannot be truly understood through natural sciences (like biology and psychology) or by moral categories (found in religion and social codes) alone. Instead, meaning is found in authenticity.  Existentialists believe there is no larger meaning or order to the universe or to our lives; that is, there is no destiny or fate, and your individual life has no pre-determined purpose. Still, people have complete free will and can make choices about their daily actions in order to make those actions meaningful and ordered despite the lack of meaning and order in the universe. Thus, life gains meaning by individuals ascribing meaning through authentic lives. Nihilism states there is no purpose to life and there never can be whereas existentialism says you make your own. While many existentialist writings have themes of anxiety, hopelessness, and boredom, it is not because the writers did not see a purpose...

TL;DR in English: Know the history of the movement. Read up. Understand the basic precepts of existentialism. Remember that existentialism is not the same as nihilism.

If you'd like to cut the grapefruit further, you can cut each round slice into halves or fourths, like you were cutting off pieces of a pie. This method can be ideal for using the grapefruit in fruity drinks. You can also just cut one slice into the middle of the grapefruit and use it as a garnish on the side of a bowl of fruit salad or on a large pitcher of grapefruit juice. Or you can just rip the slice apart and eat it right from the slice without using a spoon or fork.

TL;DR in English: Cut the slices (optional).

While your impulse may be to blame yourself for what's happened, resist the urge. There are simply forces in life and nature that cannot be controlled. Beating yourself up about what you could have, would have, should have done is counterproductive to healing. For some parents, all they want to do is to sleep.  Others find themselves pacing the floors at night and staring blankly at the TV. The death of a child takes an extreme toll on the body. Science has shown that a loss of this magnitude is similar to a major physical injury, so you absolutely need rest. Give in to the urge to sleep if you have it; otherwise, try to establish a nighttime routine--warm bath, herbal tea, relaxation exercises--that can help ease you into a good night's sleep. Sometimes, in the days immediately following your child's death, relatives, and friends may bring you food so that you don't have to cook. Do your best to eat a little each day in order to keep up your strength. It's difficult to deal with negative emotions and everyday activities when you're physically weak. Eventually, you may have to return to making your own meals. Keep it simple. Bake a chicken or make a big pot of soup that can last for a few meals. Find healthy takeout options in your neighborhood and restaurants that will deliver to your home. Whether or not you're finding it difficult to eat, try to drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Sip on a cup of soothing tea or keep a refillable water bottle with you. Dehydration is physically taxing, and your body is already being taxed enough. While it's understandable that you may want to blot out the memory of your child's death, excessive use of alcohol and drugs can aggravate depression and create a whole new set of problems to deal with. Some parents find that a sleep aid is a necessity, and that anti-anxiety or anti-depression medication helps them better cope. There are many varieties of these medications, and finding the right one that works best can be a daunting task, and one best undertaken with the...

TL;DR in English: Be very gentle with yourself. Get plenty of sleep. Remember to eat. Stay hydrated. Use alcohol in moderation and stay away from illegal drugs. Use prescription medication under a doctor's orders only. Re-evaluate your relationships if they become hurtful.

Graduation caps have tassels that often come in a separate plastic bag from the gown and are not already on the mortarboard, which is the official name for the flat graduation cap.  Shake the tassel in order to untangle any of its strands before you try to fasten it to the cap. This will make the process easier. The mortarboard earned its name because it was said to resemble tools used by masons to hold mortar. These graduation caps, including tassels, were first worn by artists and students in the 14th century and being able to wear one indicated intelligence and power. You can figure out the front of the cap by looking on the cap’s inside. There will be writing that says “front of cap.”  Graduation caps usually have a square, flat top. They sit on the top of a skull cap that should be form-fitting around your head. The tassel goes on top of the cap. Make sure you wear the cap correctly also. Mortarboard graduation caps should be worn so the cap’s front tip is centered on your forehead, right between your eyes. The hat shouldn’t be tilted off your head. Put it directly on your head’s top.

TL;DR in English: Remove the tassel from its packaging. Locate the front of the graduation cap.

The strength of your muscles is secondary to the flexibility and agility of your muscles. One way to improve the latter two attributes is by properly stretching your fingers before practice. Bend back each finger until it feels comfortable and hold them in that position for several seconds. Do the same for each thumb, but also stretch your thumb into your palm.  Get the blood flowing through your fingers by pretending to type rapidly in the air. Roll your wrists both clockwise and counterclockwise. Spread your fingers out into a fully extended position, then release the tension. After stretching out your hand, you can strengthen the muscles you commonly use during guitar play. There are two main exercises you can do without playing the guitar itself. Work out the extensor muscles of your fretting hand with these two exercises:  First hold your left hand (or fretting hand) in a relaxed position. Extend your thumb to your pinky and then pull them apart slightly. Continue this motion with the rest of your fingers: ring, middle, and then your index finger. Repeat as many times as you want, but don’t over-exercise your muscles. Hold your fretting hand relaxed with your palm facing up. Extend your pinky finger slightly and then flex it. Continue the same exercise with the rest of your fingers: ring, middle, and then your index finger. After properly warming up your hand, you can practice a few lines on your guitar. Set a metronome, if available, to a comfortable tempo. For beginners, use 80 bpm, and experienced players can play at around 120 bpm. Set your hand so your index finger is on the first fret. Then play this chromatic riff across each string: 1-2-3-4. Use an individual finger to play each fret.  For an added exercise, do the same motion in a descending order. Start with your pinky on the fourth fret of the last string. This technique will exercise each finger.  Once you become comfortable performing this exercise, increase the speed of your metronome.

The butterfly stretch is a great stretch for the center splits as it increases flexibility in the inner thighs, the groin and the hips. To perform:  Sit on the floor and bend your knees until the soles of your feet are touching. Pull your heels as close towards your body as possible and use your elbows to push your knees towards the floor. Make sure to sit upright with your back straight. Hold the stretch for 30 to 60 seconds. To deepen the stretch, lean forward as far as you can and place your hands on the floor in front of your feet. Keep your back straight and your knees pressed to the floor.

TL;DR in English: Do a butterfly stretch.

Once the oil is shimmering and hot, stir in 2 tablespoons or 2 wraps (58 g) of locust bean seasoning (iru). Chop 1 onion into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) pieces and stir it into the oil. Stir and fry the mixture over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. The onion should darken and float to the top of the oil. Transfer the cooked pepper and onion puree into the oil and onion mixture. Stir and bring the mixture to a lively bubble over medium heat. Cover the pot and simmer the ofada stew until the oil starts to glisten on the top. This should take 15 to 20 minutes. Stir the stew every once in a while to prevent it from scorching. You might need to adjust the temperature if the stew is boiling too vigorously. Remove the lid and stir in 2 tablespoons (16 g) of ground dried crayfish and 1/2 pound (226 g) of beef or tripe that you've cut into bite sized pieces. Stir in about 1 cup (240 ml) of beef stock so the sauce loosens and combines with the meats. Add salt according to your taste. Peel the shells of 4 hard boiled eggs and nestle the eggs into the stew. Bring the stew to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir the stew occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pot. Cover the pot and simmer the stew until it's thickened in places and the oil glistens in pockets on the top. The meat that you added should be completely cooked and tender. You can carefully drain or ladle off the excess oil that's floating on top of the stew. Serve the stew while it's still hot with prepared ofada rice. If you don't have ofada rice, you can serve it with your favorite type of steamed rice.  Store the leftover stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. You can also serve the ofada stew with boiled or fried plantains or yams.

TL;DR in English: Fry the locust bean seasoning and chopped onion for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the pureed vegetables and simmer the stew for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the dried crayfish, meats, and beef stock. Add the hard-boiled eggs and bring the stew to a boil. Turn the heat to medium-low and simmer the stew for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Serve the ofada stew.

This is a location that can have a lot of excess hair growth. Begin by using your thinning shears around the dog's shoulders if a ridge of hair has formed there. Then move your attention to the front of the dog, thinning the hair on its chest until it lies flat.  The length of your dog's fur will vary. A Golden Retriever doesn't have a short, tight coat, but instead has some length to it. When trimming your dog's coat, focus more on trimming fuzzy and unkempt fur, instead of trimming to a specific length. If you are unsure if you have removed enough hair, comb the coat out and see if the coat is lying flat. The goal is to have a nice flat coat that is balanced and symmetrical. As you trim, move the thinning shears with the direction of the growth. Using the thinning shears to trim the neck and chest will give the dog a more natural look.

TL;DR in English: Thin the undercoat around the Golden Retriever's chest and neck.

Many broilers are in a drawer under the stove, but some are in the oven itself. If this is the case, adjust your cooking rack so that the top of the broiling dish will be 4–8 inches (10–20 cm) from the top.   The closer to the heat, the quicker the cook. For example, if you want a steak that is more well-done, put it closer to the broiler. For a medium to medium-rare steak, put it further from the heat. If your broiler is in the drawer below the stove, you won't need to make any adjustments. Most ovens will reach 550 °F (288 °C). Let your oven preheat for about 10 minutes with your broiler pan inside it. This will mimic the inside of an outdoor grill.  The broiler is essentially an upside down grill, but the heat is coming from the top rather than the bottom. Put it on top of your stove and put your seasoned meat (and veggies!) into it. The broiling pan has grooves that will let the fat drip down so the meat doesn't cook in it. Leave the door to your oven slightly ajar. Most ovens will turn off the heating element once it reaches a certain temperature, which would interrupt your cooking cycle. Leaving the door cracked helps keep the hot air flowing the entire cooking time.   Like on a grill, check on your meat and turn it once while it is cooking. Most dishes cook in 8-10 minutes, so flipping the meat at the 4-5 minute mark will help ensure that both sides cook evenly.   If you are cooking vegetables, this is a good time to flip them, too. Chicken and medium-well to well cooked steaks should be at 160 °F (71 °C). A medium-rare to rare steak can be anywhere in the 135 °F (57 °C) range.  Insert the meat thermometer so the tip is resting in the middle of your piece of meat. Let it stay there until the monitor registers the heat and stays at the same temperature for a few seconds. If the meat isn't done yet, put it back in the oven for another 2-3 minutes. This lets it keep cooking for a few minutes and will help it retain its juices. If you take the temperature again, you may notice it has increased. This is...

TL;DR in English: Arrange your cooking racks if your broiler is in the oven. Preheat your oven to the highest temperature and turn on your broiler. Use oven mitts to remove your broiling pan after it has preheated. Place the broiling pan back in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check the meat's temperature. Let your meat sit for 5-10 minutes on the stovetop before cutting into it.

Knowledge is power, so learning about your disability can give you the power to live with it. Particularly if the disability is new to you, you should speak with your physician about what to expect.  Some questions to ask include:  Is the disability temporary or permanent? Are there common complications or secondary illnesses that often accompany the disability? Are there any physical or emotional resources or support groups available in your area? Will ongoing treatment or physical therapy be required to manage your disability? What alterations might you need to make to your previous lifestyle, job, or activities to adapt them to a new or progressing disability? If your disability is progressing, how quickly is the progression likely to take place? Are there means of slowing the progression? Possibly the hardest aspect of emotionally adjusting to a disability is coming to terms with your prognosis. While it is always good to hope for and work towards recovery, if you do so while looking at your current state with disdain, you may end up depressed and unsuccessful.  You need to accept your current situation as well as your possible future. By doing so, you'll be able to focus your efforts on improving your standard of living, rather than on how upset you are with the way things are working out.  Don't confuse acceptance with laziness. Accepting simply means that you fully understand that your situation is what it is; you still have the ability to work on improving it, though. Denying or ignoring the severity of your disability can make regular emotional and physical tasks much more difficult. If you are new to having a disability as a result of an accident or a progressing illness, it can be very hard not to compare your present state to the way things were in the past. Letting go of your past goes hand in hand with accepting your situation. You don't need to forget the way you were previously, but you shouldn't look at your past with despair because of your present situation. Enjoy the memories from the past...

TL;DR in English: Learn about your disability. Accept your situation. Focus on your present and future, not your past. Allow yourself to grieve. Do your best to keep positive. Don't isolate yourself. Focus on your strengths.

The symptoms of colic can vary based on how severe the colic is. Though the pain is in the stomach, your horse may show signs that don't automatically point to the stomach.  Mild colic may exhibit in your horse as restlessness, such as pawing at the ground. Your horse also may keep curling his lips or keep looking around to his backside.  In a moderate case, your horse may want to lay down more often. He may also pee more often.  With severe cases, your horse may start rolling on the ground with violent motions. You may also see in an increase in respiration and sweat.  Symptoms of gas colic in particular are loud noises in the abdominal area and gut pain that comes and goes.  Impacted colic may prevent the horse from defecating, and he may not want to eat. He will also have pain in the abdomen. Horses should defecate at least 6 times in a 24-hour period, so you should be on the lookout if you suspect your horse has colic. A horse's temperature should be between about 99 degrees and 101 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a rectal thermometer designed for horses to check your horse's temperature. If it's elevated, that's another indication your horse could be colicky. Only try to treat the horse yourself if he is exhibiting mild symptoms of colic. If the horse is already in the moderate or severe stage, move on to calling the vet. The first step to treating your horse yourself is to get him moving. Walk your horse around for about 30 minutes. Walking can help your horse if the colic is caused by gas. It may also provide a distraction from the pain he's experiencing. However, walking him too long can make him tired if he's already feeling bad. If your horse is continuously looking at his side and even trying to bite that area, it's time to call the vet.  Other symptoms that tell you it's time to call the vet are if your horse is laying down too much, not eating, or not defecating. Also call the vet if your horse's pulse is over 50 beats a minute. Because colic is often linked to your horse's food, it's important...

Ask open-ended questions. Ask about his interests. Be direct. Make subtle physical contact if you like him.

A wide variety of commercial cleaning products can help you clean brass.  While the specific directions for these products vary with manufacturer, generally you will spray the product on the brass hinge, then wipe it down with a clean cloth.  Popular brass cleaning products include Wright’s Premium Brass Cleaning Polish and Brasso Multipurpose Polish. Test the cleaning product on an inconspicuous area of the hinge before applying it to the whole thing.  If the cleaning product causes the brass plate to flake off, discontinue use of that product and try another instead. Consult manufacturer directions before using any brass cleaning product. Apply a thin patina of ketchup, marinara sauce, or tomato paste to the brass hinge using a paper towel or hand cloth.  Allow the tomato-based product to remain on the brass hinge for about 60 minutes.  Dip a clean cloth or sponge in hot, soapy water, then scrub the brass hinge. This technique also works with Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Combine equal parts vinegar, salt, and flour.  For instance, you might combine two tablespoons of vinegar, two tablespoons of salt, and two tablespoons of flour.  Smear this paste across the surface of the brass hinge.  Wait for about 60 minutes.  Rinse the hinge off with warm water.  Wipe it down with a dry cloth until it shines. Cut a lemon in half and remove the seeds from one half.  Cover the half of the lemon you removed the seeds from with salt.  Rub the face of the lemon (the flat side covered in salt) over the brass hinge.  As you rub the hinge, add additional coats of salt to the lemon as it flakes off. Wipe the hinge down with a clean cloth. Combine two tablespoons of cream of tartar and one tablespoon of lemon juice.  Rub the paste on the hinge using a clean paper towel or an old toothbrush.  Allow the paste to sit for 30 minutes.  Then, dip a clean cloth in warm water and wipe the paste away. Mix equal parts white vinegar and baking soda in a bowl with steep sides.  For example, you could combine two tablespoons vinegar...

TL;DR in English: Use a commercial cleaning product. Smear a tomato-based product on the hinge. Make a vinegar paste. Clean the hinge with a lemon. Create a paste from cream of tartar. Combine baking soda and vinegar. Coat the hinges in yogurt. Simmer the hinges in milk. Remove paint from your hinges with a crockpot.

Mouth breathing typically occurs when sleeping on your back. When you sleep on your back, you’re forced to take heavier breaths through your mouth. Try to change how you sleep to minimize the chances of mouth breathing and snoring while you sleep. If you can’t help but roll over on your back out of habit, using a pillow that elevates your head can help you breathe properly while you sleep. Get a pillow or wedge that elevates your upper back and head on a 30-60 degree angle. This should help you keep your mouth closed while you sleep and promote breathing through your nose. Get a piece of masking or scotch tape and place the tape vertically over your mouth. This will help keep it shut while you sleep. You can dab the sticky side of the tape on the palm of your hand a couple of times to remove some of the adhesive. This will make it easier to remove. An over-the-counter nasal strip can clear your nasal passages and help you breathe through your nose while you sleep. To use the strip, remove the plastic backing on the nasal strip and place the strip over the bridge of your nose. Read the instructions on the packaging before you use it. You can find chin straps online by typing "chin strap" into your search engine. To use the strap, wrap it around your head, lengthwise, under your chin and over the top of your head. This will keep your mouth closed while you sleep and can prevent mouth breathing. These chin straps are created for those that snore a lot or those that suffer from sleep apnea.

TL;DR in English: Sleep on your side. Elevate your head and upper back if you sleep on your back. Put a piece of tape over your mouth. Wear a nasal strip on your nose as you sleep. Use a chin strap to keep your mouth closed as you sleep.

Not all calculators have a hexadecimal mode, but if yours does, you will have more letters to spell words with. You will be able to tell if your calculator has a hexadecimal mode if you see the letters A-F on the keyboard. Calculators that have hexadecimal mode include Casios and Texas Instruments. In hexadecimal mode, you will have the letters A, B, C, D, E, and F. You can also use the numbers 1 for I, 0 for O, and 5 for S.  For example, you can spell the word "see" using 5EE. Some other words you can spell include BASS, DIE, BOSS, DOE, and SEA. When you turn your calculator upside down in hexadecimal mode, you can turn b into q and d into p. Along with q and p, you can make the letters O, D, I, Z, E, h, A, S, g/q, L, B, and G from numbers. The possibilities are endless!  b=q d=p 0=O/D 1=I 2=Z 3=E 4=h/A 5=S 6=g/q 7=L 8=B 9=G/b You can also use the number 2 instead of the word "to" or "too."

TL;DR in English: Switch your calculator to hexadecimal mode. Use a combination of letters and numbers to spell words. Create even more combinations by turning your calculator upside down.

The person you are meeting for the first time is not interested in your “good excuse” for running late. Plan to arrive a few minutes early. And allow flexibility for delays in traffic or taking a wrong turn. If you are feeling uncomfortable and on edge, this can make the other person uneasy and that’s a sure way ruin a date. If you are calm and confident, so the other person will feel more at ease, and so have a solid foundation for making that date and impression a good one. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and so the “picture” you first present says much about you to the person you are meeting. Is your appearance saying the right things to help create the right first impression? Try deep breathing. Deep breathing is a very effective way of relaxation.  Progressive Muscular Relaxation - The idea behind this, is that you tense up the muscles of your body as tightly as possible. Hold them in a state of extreme tension for a few seconds. Then, relax the muscles to their previous state starting at your feet, knees, thighs, tummy, shoulders, neck and head. Finally, consciously relax the muscles even further so that you are as relaxed as possible. Keep the attention on your breathing. Repeat a few times and be amazed at how relaxed you will feel.

TL;DR in English: Be on time. Be yourself and be at ease. Relax!

Choose a firm, comfortable surface for your work area, such as a firm bed, padded floor, or massage table. Ask the person to lay flat on their stomach, turning their head to either side and positioning their arms however they are most comfortable. Massage oil helps reduce friction on the skin and generally makes the massage more comfortable. Some people don’t like oil during a massage, however, so ask the person if it’s okay to use some oil. You can use oil that’s specially designed for massages, or another common oil such as olive, coconut, or almond. Start with a small amount of oil and use more during the massage if you need it. It’s important to keep open communication during a massage to avoid hurting the person. Tell them that if anything hurts, you will back off and apply less pressure. If you’re not applying enough pressure, you can press harder if they ask you to.  Keep checking in with the person by asking, “How does this feel? Is this enough pressure or too much?” If the person experiences severe pain during the massage, you should stop the massage and advise them to seek professional medical care. Place your whole hands flat on the person’s lower back near their hips, on either side of their spine. Press upward firmly with your entire hand toward their middle back, then lift your hands and do it again, starting at their lower back. Do not press down directly on their spine or hip bones; apply pressure to muscles only.  This technique is called effleurage and is commonly used to start loosening muscles during a massage. Continue this technique for 5-10 minutes. Start by placing the heels of both hands at the bottom sides of the person’s spine, near their hips. Move your hands outward and upward in a circle, applying pressure around their hips and lower back.  Move up and down the sides of their spine slightly, doing the circles in the areas that are sore for the person. Do not press directly on their spine or any other bones. Continue this part of the massage for 5 minutes, or less if the person...

TL;DR in English: Have the person lay down flat on their stomach. Squeeze a few drops massage oil onto your hands if the person likes it. Ask them if they are comfortable with the amount of pressure you're applying throughout the massage. Apply upward pressure from the low back outside the spine with both hands. Use circular pressure with the heels of your hands near their hips. Use your fingertips to press from the center of the spine out toward their hips. Slide your thumb along the long muscles beside their spine in an upward motion. Use your thumb to relieve pressure in tight or sore areas.

These kinds of questions can help a shy guy open up and talk about himself and can also lead to him feeling known, liked and comfortable with you. Avoid asking questions that can be answered with a quick “yes” or “no” because these may create awkward pauses and make the conversation feel forced. Good examples of open-ended questions include:  "How did you get interested in carpentry?" "What brought you to live in San Francisco?" When you ask about all of his favorite things, such as sports, movies, books, and more, you’re showing him that you’re interested in getting to know him better. Once you’ve talked a bit about each other's likes and dislikes, you’ll most likely find some commonalities that you can discuss further and bond over. Make sure to show interest in him and not just his role or activities. Hobbies and interests are good, neutral places to start, but when you're both ready, be sure to look deeper. If you hang out together, make sure to tell him you’d like to see him again when you part ways. Verbal clarity will make him more sure of your feelings and desires, which will ease his uncertainty and draw him out of his shell. Also, pay attention to his reactions when you say things that directly communicate your interest in him. If he smiles or agrees enthusiastically, you can assume that he may be interested in you too. Making physical contact releases oxytocin, the bonding hormone, so initiating touch may quickly start making him feel liked and close to you. Touching him breaks through a kind of barrier that may lead him to feel less nervous or unsure about holding your hand or putting his arm around you later on.  Ask permission first, and make sure he's open to that sort of attention and affection. Try lightly and briefly touching the outside of his arm to communicate assurance while you’re having a conversation with him. If you aren’t interested in him romantically, be cautious with physical contact. Giving him frequent hugs, for example, may seem friendly to you but he may interpret it as a...

Sit tall and deep in the saddle. Use your rein aid. Lengthen your legs slightly. Create a slight resistance in your seat to suggest a halt. When the horse shifts down, apply your driving aids.

Both men and women can have factitious disorder. It typically affects adults. Women may have a background in healthcare, such as being a nurse or technician. Women with factitious disorder tend to be between the ages of 20-40. Men tend to be unmarried between the ages of 30-50. Often, people with factitious disorder seek attention through the illness. These people take on a “sick role” to receive care from others. The core of factitious disorder is receiving attention from others. Any practical benefit from pretending to be sick (like skipping work or school)  is not the motivation. People who show symptoms of factitious disorder tend to have low self-esteem and/or problems with self identity. The person may have a convoluted personal or family history, or an inconsistent story. They may have interpersonal problems or family problems. This person may have a low view of the self or a difficult time identifying to the self. Symptoms of factitious disorder may follow or coexist along with someone who has factitious disorder imposed on another, or FDIA (formerly known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy, or MSBP). FDIA can occur when a parent places a child into a ‘sick’ role, and factitious disorder may occur if the child takes on the role of ‘sick child’. Some psychological disorders may be associated with factitious disorder, such as having borderline or antisocial personality symptoms.  There appears to be some link between factitious disorder and having a history of abuse, neglect or other maltreatment. There are no direct links between certain disorders and factitious disorder.

TL;DR in English: Know who it affects. Recognize the motivation. Note identity problems or self-esteem issues. Identify links related to other disorders.

If you look at the keyboard on a piano, you'll see white keys with black keys between them. Black keys are grouped in pairs and in groups of 3 with a space between. The pattern repeats up and down the entire keyboard.  The distance between a white key and the black key right next to it is a half step. The distance between 2 white keys that have a black key between them is a whole step. Practice making whole and half steps up and down the keyboard to get a hands-on understanding of how they work and how the notes relate to one another. The scale for a key starts at the root note for that key. All scales follow the "whole-whole-half whole-whole-whole-half" pattern. Once you find the root note, you can play the entire scale by following that pattern.  You can find the scales on your own without worrying about any sheet music. Start with C and play each white key until you get to the next C on the keyboard. You've just played the C Major scale, which uses only white keys. Move over to the D and follow the same "whole-whole-half whole-whole-whole-half" step pattern to find the D Major scale. By following the same pattern one key over, you now have to use 2 black keys – F sharp and C sharp. You can follow this pattern from any key on the piano to get the scale for that note. Once your fingers get used to playing the pattern, you may find that you can play a scale without even looking at the keys. Once you know the scale, you can find all the major chords by stacking notes in relation to the root note. Form a chord by playing 3 or 4 notes of the scale, starting with the root note.  The major chord is the main chord formed by the first, third, and fifth notes in the root note's scale. For example, since the first 5 notes of the C scale are C-D-E-F-G, the C Major chord is C-E-G. To make a minor chord, the third note is lowered by a half-step. For example, C minor would be C-E flat-G. If you play the major chord followed by the minor chord for the same root note, you can hear the difference between the 2 types of...

TL;DR in English: Identify whole and half steps. Play the scale for different keys. Look for chords within the scale. Compare chord names to notes of the scale.

Take the time to get to know her as a close friend before trying to progress to something more. You may worry about being put in the dreaded “friend zone,” but the truth of the matter is that many girls do need to feel secure with a guy before they will consider going out with him. Letting her know that you genuinely care about her as a human and a friend will establish that trust. Once you reach a level of friendship that allows the two of you to hang out without being in a group, invite her to spend some time with you alone.  If you want to be cautious, ask her to visit someplace familiar yet different, like a different coffee shop or a nearby park that you have both talked about wanting to visit. If you want to be a little bolder, ask her to spend the afternoon or evening with you without revealing your plans. You can take her out for a nice meal, an interesting show, or a night of dancing. Insist on paying. If she puts up a fuss about it, tell her that you want to pay for her since you were the one who asked her to come out with you. Unless you frequently throw gifts her way, a gift lets the girl know that there is something different—and special—about your time together this day when compared to any other day.  Flowers, chocolates, or stuffed animals are all fair game. Avoid expensive gifts like jewelry or designer clothes. After you have spent some time enjoying each other's company, sit down with her and tell her that you have something important to say. Once you have her undivided attention, tell her honestly that you have strong feelings for her and would like her to be your girlfriend.  Do not pressure, but at the same time, avoid blowing it off as no big deal. You must be genuine without being pushy. Good example: “I really enjoy the time I spend with you and consider you an important part of my life. I can't help but have feelings for you past those of friendship, though. If you feel the same way, or think you could see me as a boyfriend, then I'd like to go out with you.” Bad example: “So, yeah....

TL;DR in English: Befriend her. Ask her to spend time with you in a pressure-free setting. Consider giving her a small, inexpensive gift. Tell her seriously how you feel. Accept her answer calmly.

Invisible elastic bands are thin and clear so they’re very hard to see up close or at a distance. Put your hand through the elastic band so it’s wrapped around your palm. Position the band so it’s in the crook of your hand between your thumb and index finger. You can buy invisible elastic bands online or from magic stores. Look for 2 volunteers in the audience or on the street to help you perform your magic trick. See if there are any people who are in a relationship or are related in some way so you can use their “bond” as an explanation for the trick. Ask the participants to stand on opposite sides of you so they’re about 4–5 feet (1.2–1.5 m) apart from one another. You can also choose 2 strangers if people watching you don’t know one another. Choose 1 volunteer to close their eyes and ask them to confirm  that they can’t see anything. Have the other participant keep their eyes open. Ask the person with their eyes closed if they can see anything at all to confirm that their eyes are closed. Another option is to use a blindfold on the person who has their eyes closed if you want to be absolutely certain they cannot see. Slide the index finger on your opposite hand under the elastic band to stretch it between your hands. Once you have the elastic band on your finger, pull your hands 4–5 inches (10–13 cm) apart to stretch it out.

TL;DR in English: Put an invisible elastic band around one of your hands before the trick. Instruct 2 people to face each other standing 4 ft (1.2 m) apart. Ask 1 participant to close their eyes. Slip a finger between your palm and the elastic band to stretch it out.

Your body should be flowing with the movement of the horse's, rather than holding stiffly. Relax your shoulders up and back. This way, the horse can more easily sense signals from the seat. When you're first learning the half-halt, it's likely you'll use your hands more than when you get accustomed to the signal. Let the signal be very slight: turn your wrists in to increase contact with the bit.  Do not pull on the reins. You'll probably notice the horse lighten the bit and stride more evenly – however, this is most likely not a true half-halt (where the pace is maintained in the hind legs), but rather a disengagement of the hocks and consequent disruption of energy. If the horse hollows his back and raises his head, these are also signs that you need to continue to adjust your signal by engaging other aids. This signals the horse to deepen his hind-leg step. Briefly tighten your lower back muscles and squeeze your rear end, as though you were sitting on a swing and propelling yourself forward. If your elbows are hanging at your sides, the slight change in your back should travel through your arms into the reins, giving the horse enough of a signal that you do not need to manipulate the reins at all. Once you sense a bit of "halt," signal to him to keep moving steadily forward. You may do this primarily with your seat or leg, or with the two in combination.   Push your seat in a forward motion. Apply pressure with your leg lightly at the horse's side. Keeping your legs lightly against the horse's side throughout the half-halt helps ease the transition into driving forward.

TL;DR in English:
