Make thirty units. Start putting the units together. Start with two units of different colors. Pick a unit of a different color (pictured red) next and put its tab in the 'orange' pocket, while also inserting the 'yellow' tab in the 'red' pocket. Notice that each unit has two pockets. Take a new (red) unit as before, and put its tab in the second orange unit's pocket, also putting the yellow tab in the red unit's pocket. Continue adding pyramids in this manner until you have five pyramids that all meet at a point. Keep adding pyramids to your stellated icosahedron, making sure that there are never more than five pyramids meeting at a point. Proceed, making sure that no more than five pyramids meet at a point, and your model will take shape. Hooray!

To do that, drain the water completely. Look for the opening that leads underwater (it's in the northern part of the temple). Dive under, follow the path, then turn around and latch onto the target above you. Latch onto the target above the door, then use a Small Key to open it. You will find yourself in a room full of Tektites (the spider-like enemies). From the Tektite room, make your way underwater using the Iron Boots. Swim to the next room. Once in the next room, you will see a pool of water and a long platform to your left. Jump onto the platform and kill the Stingers. Look at the wall by the entrance. Part of it will have a lighter color than the rest. Use a bomb to detonate that part of the wall, and a secret passage will appear. After you find the secret passage, you will see another weak wall. Detonate it with a bomb, and a brown block will appear. Navigate around the block and push it until it falls on top of a switch. A new door on the left side of the room will become available. Climb the stairs, go through the new door, and press the switch to activate three geysers in the gap beside you. Cross the gap as quickly as possible, avoiding the Tektites. You will be able to enter the next room, where you will see a small waterfall. Boulders will roll down from the right of the waterfall. Avoid them and head into the gap, following the underwater path until you find a dead end. When you hit the dead end, kill the Shell Blade and then float upwards. Inside the door in front of you will be the Boss Key.

TL;DR in English: Find the room filled with Tektites. Access the next room. Find the secret passage. Activate the switch. Activate the geysers. Proceed to the next room. Reach the dead end. Get the Boss Key.

The formula for calculating kinetic energy (KE) is KE = 0.5 x mv2. Here m stands for mass, the measure of how much matter is in an object, and v stands for the velocity of the object, or the rate at which the object changes its position. Your answer should always be stated in joules (J), which is the standard unit of measurement for kinetic energy. It is equivalent to 1 kg * m2/s2. If you are solving a problem where the mass isn’t given, you will have to determine the mass yourself. This can be done by weighing the object on a balance and obtaining the mass in kilograms (kg).  Tare the balance. Before you weigh your object, you must set it to zero. Zeroing out the scale is called taring.  Place your object in the balance. Gently, place the object on the balance and record its mass in kilograms. If necessary, convert grams to kilograms. For the final calculation, the mass must be in kilograms. Oftentimes, the problem will give you the velocity of the object. If this is not the case, you can determine the velocity by using the distance an object travels and how long it takes to cover that distance. The units for velocity are meters per second (m/s).  Velocity is defined by the equation, displacement divided by time: V = d/t. Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both a magnitude and a direction. Magnitude is the number value that quantifies the speed, while the direction is the direction in which the speed takes place during motion. For example, an object’s velocity can be 80 m/s or -80 m/s depending on the direction of travel. To calculate velocity, simply divide the distance the object traveled by the time it took to travel that distance.

TL;DR in English: Know the formula for calculating kinetic energy. Determine the mass of an object. Calculate the velocity of the object.

If you're working with a thin bar of chocolate, you can use your fingers to snap the chocolate into even pieces. This is especially easy if the bar has been divided into blocks or squares. If the bar of chocolate is too thick to break with your fingers, place the chocolate on a cutting board and chop it with a knife. Try to cut the chocolate into pieces that are about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick.

TL;DR in English: Break the chocolate into pieces.

It is important to keep a careful tally of each player’s scores as you play. Each player should announce his or her score after adding it up and then the score keeper should write it down right away. Premium Squares will alter your word scores, so pay attention to these when you play words. You can only use the bonus from a Premium Square if you laid the tile over that square during the current turn. You cannot incorporate bonuses from Premium Squares that you already counted in a different turn or that were counted by a different player. When adding the bonuses for plays with multiple Premium Squares, add the letter bonuses in before the word bonuses. For example, if you spell a word that has a double letter bonus and a triple word bonus, add the double letter bonus to your total before multiplying the total by three. A bingo is when you use all seven of your tiles to play a word. When this happens, you should add up the total value of your word plus any bonuses gained from Premium Squares and then add 50 points. After all of the players have exhausted their tiles or cannot play any more words, add up each player’s points total. As the score keeper adds the totals, each player should let him or her know the points value (if any) of the tiles he or she has left over. Deduct this value from each player’s points total to determine each player’s final score. After the score keeper has added each player’s scores and deducted the values of any unused tiles, he or she may announce the winner. The person who has the highest score wins the game.  Second place goes to the person with the second-highest score, and so on.

TL;DR in English: Keep score as you go. Watch for Premium Score squares. Get 50 points added to your word score if you get a bingo, also known as a bonus. Add up each player’s scores at the end of the game. Announce the winner.

To calculate your Handicap Index, you’ll first need a minimum of five golf scores (and no more than 20).  Gather at least five scores 18-hole scores or ten 9-hole scores and use them to calculate your Adjusted Gross Score. To determine your Adjusted Gross Score (AGS), total up the number of strokes taken during a round, then adjust for the maximum per-hole scores (determined by the USGA’s Equitable Stroke Control guidelines). Most golf courses make the information on maximum per-hole scores available to the general public. Check the course’s website or inquire at the clubhouse. For example, if you took 8 strokes on a hole whose maximum-per hole score is 5, you would count 5 strokes (not 8) for that hole when adding up your total number of strokes for the game. Once you have your AGS, use it to determine your handicap differential.  The equation for a Handicap Differential is the AGS minus Course rating, multiplied by 113, and divided by the Slope Rating, or (AGS - Course Rating) x 113 / Slope Rating. The Course Rating is the numerical value given by the UGSA to each set of tees on a course. It approximates the number of strokes it should take a scratch golfer to complete the course. Most courses make this information available via the course website or at the clubhouse. The Slope Rating shows the difficulty of a course for an average golfer and is calculated by comparing the Course Rating to the scores of bogey golfers. Most golf courses make the Slope Rating available to their guests; again, check their website or at the clubhouse. For example, say your AGS is 85, the Course Rating is 69.3, and the Slope Rating is 117. You would have the equation (AGS - Course Rating) x 113 / Slope Rating, or (85 - 69.3) x 113 / 117, which results in a Handicap Differential of 15.2. The formula for your Handicap Index is the sum of your differentials divided by the number of differentials, multiplied by 0.96, or (Sum of Differentials / Number of Differentials) x 0.96.  The figure of 0.96 in the equation represents the “bonus...

TL;DR in English: Find your adjusted gross score. Calculate your Handicap Differential. Calculate your Handicap Index.

If you have three different colors of paper, make ten of each color. The surface of the stellated icosahedron is made up of a number of pyramids (in fact, if you take the regular icosahedron - a solid with twenty triangular faces - and make each face the base of a triangular pyramid, you get a stellated icosahedron). So we start by using the units to make a series of connected pyramids. To get a more simple idea of this complex cube you are now going to build, just think of an only 12-faced regular pentagonal dodecahedron (a Platonic solid), and imagine each of its 20 vertices (5 at the top, 5 at the bottom and 10 around in-between) will be replaced by a pyramid. With 30 units you will shape together those 20 pyramids. The triangular ends of each unit are called 'tabs', and the square in the center of the unit contains 'pockets' made up by the cupboard fold that goes along the diagonal. Begin by putting the tab of one unit (pictured in orange below) into the pocket of another (pictured in yellow). Congratulations - you made your first pyramid! Continue by taking a new unit (orange in this case), and put its tab in the yellow unit's second pocket. Tada! You now have two adjacent pyramids. If you are using three unit colors, make sure to never put the tab of a unit into a pocket of another unit of the same color. This ensures a regular, colorful pattern on your stellated icosahedron. You may need to feel your way around a bit to make sure that you never end up having to put a tab into a pocket of the same color. Don't worry if you do - you can carefully prise your units apart and rearrange them until you find a proper arrangement. The last unit is tricky - you'll have to make sure that both its tabs go into pockets, and both its pockets are filled by the two remaining free tabs. Proceed with care. You now have a fully formed, colorful, stellated icosahedron.

. Cut the ends of the asparagus if the spears are thick. Wash the asparagus. Fill a large pot with a couple inches of water and place a vegetable steamer into the pot. The water should not seep through the holes in the steamer; if it does, pour some water out of the pot. Put the asparagus in the pot and bring to a boil. Steam until soft or until you reach the texture you want.  Consider serving steamed, grilled, or roasted asparagus as the first course at dinner. It is traditionally served with fresh-melted butter or freshly-made Hollandaise sauce. Eat with forks or fingers. Asparagus gets soft and moist when you steam it, and the result can taste bland. Add salt and other seasonings to spice up the flavor. Bear in mind that even though asparagus is very healthy, adding tons of salt and other seasonings may offset the health factor. Cut the the ends of asparagus if the spears are thick. Wash the asparagus. Make a "boat" with aluminum foil for the asparagus to go in; the sides should be high enough to prevent the oil and asparagus from spilling over. Pour 1-2 tbsp. of olive oil into the aluminum foil "boat", and lay the asparagus in on top. Place the "boat" on an outdoor grill on medium heat until the spears reach the texture you want.  Asparagus gets tougher when you grill it, but it still retains all of its moisture. The best part is that when it's cooked, you don't lose any nutrients! This is one of the simplest, tastiest ways to eat asparagus if you don't want to work it into a more complicated recipe. on a griddle. Trim the spears and drizzle them with a bit of olive oil and seasoning. Toss the spears and seasoning in a bowl to mix. Then place the asparagus onto a hot griddle pan; ridged is ideal, but a flat iron skillet will do. Leave on a medium heat until blackened on one side (1-2 minutes). Roll over and cook the other sides. Serve warm. . Asparagus develops a rich flavor when roasted, making this one of the most popular ways to eat the vegetable.

Having a chance to see if his treatment of you changes when she is around can go a long way in making sure they are just friends.  If your boyfriend suddenly won't show you affection when the three of you are together, there probably is a problem. If they are really just friends, both your boyfriend and his friend should show you respect. If you can hang out with the two of them and not get any bad vibes, chances are, they are just friends and you have nothing to worry about. If you have concerns about her intentions, it might make you feel better to spend some time with them together and with her on your own. Perhaps spending more time with her can help you to see that your concerns were not warranted.  When the two of you spend time together, try to view her from your boyfriend's eyes. Does she have a fun personality? Does she tell great jokes? Is she a great listener? Give her the benefit of the doubt and don't immediately look for flaws. If there's nothing more to their relationship, she should have no problem getting to know you better. It's a red flag if she seems jealous because you two have very different roles in his life. If you have trouble accepting their friendship, you may need to check yourself. Passive-aggression can be demonstrated when you are afraid to speak your mind or wary of being honest. You may not listen when your boyfriend talks about his female friend. Or, you may plan his birthday party and "forget" to invite her. Passive aggression may serve your purposes, but it can also destroy your relationship.If you notice yourself doing these things, ask yourself how you can have your thoughts and needs met in a more adaptive way.

TL;DR in English: Join in on some of their activities together. Get to know his friend better. Don't be passive aggressive about their relationship.

Ring-sizers are plastic sheets with a variety of different sizes on them, which you can slide your finger into to find an appropriate fit. These are available at every jewelry counter for sizing rings. Your ring should fit your finger comfortably. It needs to be snug enough so that it stays on, but loose enough to slide off at the knuckle. The size of your finger changes very subtly, depending on the time of the day, what you've been doing, and the kind of weather. Fingers are smaller in the early morning and when cold.  Try to measure your finger a couple times at different times of day, to make sure you get an accurate sizing for your ring. Don't use string or a measuring tape to try to measure your finger size. This can be pretty inaccurate, and lead to ill-fitting rings. The following sizes are the width of your finger. If, after using the ring-sizer, you find that you're comfortable between two, always go a size up. This helps to ensure that you'll have some extra room and your ring will fit comfortably. The most common women's size is 6, while the most common men's size is 9.  Size 5 – 15.7mm Size 6 – 16.5mm Size 7 – 17.3mm Size 8 – 18.2mm Size 9 – 18.9mm Size 10 – 19.8mm Size 11 – 20.6mm Size 12 – 21.3mm Size 13 – 22.2mm . Most rings can be resized by professional jewelers, if you find the ring has become tight over time. If you return it to the place where you purchased it, they'll often do it for free. Milgrain and some other types of Tungsten rings can't usually be resized.

TL;DR in English: Use a ring-sizer to find the appropriate size for a ring. Measure your fingers at the end of the day and when your fingers are warm. Find your size. Consider getting your ring resized if it doesn't fit

Combine the egg white, corn syrup, and vanilla in a very clean, totally greaseless bowl. If you want colored sugar skulls, add in the food coloring now. Use one or two drops for a light color, three or four for a rich, more vibrant color. Once all the lumps have been sussed out, add it to the liquid mixture with a wooden spoon, spoonful by spoonful. Mix everything together until not quite one uniform consistency. When the sugar is nearly incorporated into the liquid, start kneading with your fingertips to form the dough into a ball. Dust the countertop with cornstarch, and continue kneading until you have a smooth paste.  Mix well with your hands until every bit of sugar is moistened. If your fingerprints remain when you squeeze the sugar in your hand, it is ready to mold. It should feel like cool, beach sand. If it doesn't hold together, mixture is too dry. Remember, water sinks, so keep the sugar mixture mixed up frequently as you make your sugar skulls. When the dough is ready, put it in a plastic bag to chill in the refrigerator. You can store the chilled dough for several months. When you're ready, divide the dough into as many parts as the number of skulls you want to make. Take a section and roll it into a ball. Squeeze and pinch the ball into a skull shape. Using your fingers, add depressions for the eye sockets and mouth. Use a toothpick to carve out teeth and to smooth out any rough edges. Skull molds work too and are available just for this purpose.

TL;DR in English: Mix the liquid ingredients together. Sift the powdered sugar. Knead the dough. Make a skull.

While it doesn’t directly treat rosacea, aloe vera extract soothes the skin and reduces some of the inflammation from rosacea outbreaks. Feverfew is a natural anti-inflammatory like aloe. It can reduce redness and also stop the itching and burning from rosacea. Many skincare products include chamomile as a soothing agent. They may not be as effective as aloe or feverfew, but chamomile products show some success in reducing rosacea symptoms. While not exactly an herbal remedy, this is still a natural treatment that helps the itching and inflammation from rosacea. Get some finely-ground oatmeal, soak it in water, rub it on your face, and then wash it off after 15 minutes.

TL;DR in English: Apply aloe vera to moisturize your skin. Use feverfew cream to treat redness and swelling. Get products with chamomile extract. Try a colloidal oatmeal mask to fight inflammation.

If the center of gravity you found is outside of the system of objects, you have the wrong answer. You may have measured the distances from more than one point. Try again with just one datum.  For example, for people sitting on a seesaw, the center of gravity has to be somewhere on the seesaw, not to the left or right of the seesaw. It does not have to be directly on a person. This is still true with problems in two dimensions. Draw a square just large enough to fit all of the objects in your problem. The center of gravity must be inside this square. If you picked one end of the system as your datum, a tiny answer puts the center of gravity right next to one end. This can be the right answer, but it's often the sign of a mistake. When you calculated the moment, did you multiply the weight and distance together? That's the correct way to find the moment. If you accidentally added them together instead, you'll usually get a much smaller answer. Every system only has a single center of gravity. If you find more than one, you might have skipped the step where you add all the moments together. The center of gravity is the total moment divided by total weight. You do not need to divide each moment by each weight, which only tells you the position of each object. The answer to our example is 9.08 ft. Let's say you try it and get the answer 1.08 ft., 7.08 ft, or another number ending in ".08." This most likely happened because we chose the left end of the seesaw as the datum, while you chose the right end or some other point an integer distance from our datum. Your answer is actually correct no matter which datum you choose! You just need to remember that the datum is always at x = 0. Here's an example:  The way we solved it, the datum is at the left end of the seesaw. Our answer was 9.08 ft, so our center of mass is 9.08 ft from the datum at the left end. If you pick a new datum 1 ft from the left end, you get the answer 8.08 ft for the center of mass. The center of mass is 8.08 ft from the new datum, which is 1 ft...

Maybe you’re both into hiking or you’re both into amusement parks, or maybe one of you likes the beach and the other prefers the mountains. Find someplace that has something for both of you, especially if your tastes differ. It can be a sweet gesture to choose the destination that your new spouse loves, but if there’s nothing there to interest you, it will be far less fun for both of you. No matter how blissful you might be feeling, it’s hard to enjoy a vacation if the weather has you miserable, the lack of things to do is boring you out of your mind, or the tourist crowds are unbearable.  Assess the weather. If you’re getting married in a month of extreme heat or cold, you may want to find someplace more temperate to party. Check climate data websites to see what the average temperature is for the time of year you plan to visit.  Travel during Shoulder Season—the period of time between peak and non-peak tourism dates. You might save quite a few pennies by coming in just after the high demand has gone, and not only will the pace be more laid back and enjoyable for you, you might find the locals friendlier and more welcoming when you’re not part of a mob of tourists.  Delay your trip. Consider putting off your honeymoon for a few months if you’re getting married during your dream destination’s off season. This could have the side benefit of giving you more time to save. If you’re traveling in low season, or even Shoulder Season, some tourist destinations may have limited hours, or be closed altogether. The last thing you want to do is show up to a shut-down town. Consult the websites of the attractions you wish to visit to find a listing of their hours during your travel dates.

Most models of cars will have an ignition access hole somewhere around the steering wheel. Check your user's manual to find it on your car. On Fords, there are usually 3 holes under your steering wheel. The smallest hole should be in the middle and is the access hole for your ignition.  On Chevrolet brand cars, the access hole can usually be found on the top of the steering wheel.  New cars that have electronic or push ignitions don’t have lock cylinders. If you don't have an ignition access hole, you'll need to remove the bottom of your steering wheel. Your key needs to be in the ignition or you won’t be able to release the lock cylinder. Keep the key in the ignition as you continue working. Do not turn on the car. You don't have to turn the key initially. As you push the Allen key into the hole, it should disengage the locking mechanism on the lock cylinder. You’ll have to keep the Allen key pressed into the hole as you move onto the next step. The Allen key disengages the locking mechanism in the lock cylinder. You should hear 2 clicks once the ignition disengages. Your car should not start. You can now release the Allen key from the hole. Keep the key in the ignition. The ignition, or lock cylinder, should pop out after you turn it. Pull on the key to pull the lock cylinder completely out of its casing. If the ignition is sticking, wiggle it back and forth until you free it from its hole. Push your new lock cylinder into the hole and twist it towards you. The spring should engage, locking the new cylinder into place. Your new lock cylinder is now installed. You should hear it click when your ignition locks in place.

This may be a local beach, or one you visit when on vacation. Shells can also be purchased from craft stores and from online sources. Be considerate of nature and leave seashells with live creatures in them alone. You can tell a shell is still alive if you turn it over and there is a creature inside it. Check with your country's laws to ensure you don't collect illegal seashells. For example, in U.S. waters, Queen Conches are illegal to take. They are a protected species due it being vulnerable to overfishing. In shelling, a live seashell is a shell with animal tissue still attached to it. This is different from a seashell that is alive since the animal tissue in a live shell is dead. A dead shell is a shell with no animal tissue inside it. Understanding whether a shell is live or dead will affect the way you will choose to clean your shell. For example, live shells will require you to remove the animal tissue inside.

TL;DR in English: Obtain your shells from your favourite collecting spot. Do not take any shells with sea creatures alive in them. Determine whether a seashell is a live or dead shell.

. Managing your time will significantly help you become a better student and a more-productive worker. Time-management skills are highly valued by teachers and employers alike, and they can help ensure that you never miss a deadline or fail to prepare for an exam.  Use a calendar or planner to help you keep track of deadlines, appointments, and other obligations. Don't procrastinate. You won't actually buy yourself any time, and you'll just be even more stressed later on. Break your tasks down into smaller, more manageable parts. This can help make a big project much easier to accomplish.  Have a timeline for the things you need to accomplish and work on those tasks in a logical order. Decide which tasks are a priority and which tasks/projects need to be completed before the next can be started. Every instructor designs exams differently. If your teacher hasn't specified how he or she arranges tests/exams and which material will be covered, you'll need to ask your teacher outside of class. That way you'll be able to adequately prepare for the test more efficiently.  Start studying early. Avoid procrastinating and cramming right before a test/exam. Try to understand the material both broadly and precisely. Start out with the general concept and work towards understanding the details of each subject. Test yourself as you study to determine which subject areas need more work. Use flash cards to review terms/names/dates, then design a self-quiz to see if you have a firm grasp on the material. Whether you missed an important class, have trouble with certain concepts, or are dealing with a stressful family emergency, there's a chance that your grades might slip at some point. If this happens, it's important to get help right away. Remember that you don't have to resign yourself to bad grades if you're proactive and dedicated to your studies.  Keep track of your grade in the course and recognize patterns of poor grades. Your instructor may not address your grades unless you bring them up.  Set up a meeting with your...

You can purchase mature watercress at a supermarket or farmer’s market. Just soak the base of the stalks in water for a few days to encourage root growth and proceed to plant them in soil as you would from seed. You can also start watercress from seeds, which you can find at a farmer's market, gardening store, or online. Watercress grows well in cool, but sunny spots with partial shade. Planting watercress in the shallow portion of a steady-flowing, freshwater stream or creek is ideal, but you can also create your own pool or bog of water. Ideal planting times are in early spring after the last frost, or in early fall before temperatures drop too low. If you have a steady flowing stream or creek, simply mix in four to six inches (10.1 to 15.2 cm) of organic compost into the top six to eight inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm) of soil. If you don’t have an existing water source, dig a hole that is roughly two feet (61 cm) across and 12 inches (35 cm) deep to create a bog. Line the bottom and sides with a large sheet of heavy plastic pond liner, leaving a four inch (15.2 cm) lip at the top and punch a few holes in the sides for drainage. Fill the lined hole with a mixture of one part garden soil, one part coarse builder's sand, one part compost and a handful of fertilizer. If planting next to a stream, make sure the soil is deeply soaked. If you’ve created a growing site, fill the bog to the brim with water. If you’ve created a growing site, water the area every two to three days to ensure it remains thoroughly soaked or install a water pump to keep fresh water circulating through the bog. Sow the seeds 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) deep and roughly 1/2 inch (12.6 mm) apart, and cover with a thin layer of fine gardening soil. You can also start the watercress indoors using the method above or transplant mature plants. However, as the plants can be delicate, they may prove difficult to transplant. Once the watercress has sprouted, thin the seedlings roughly four to six inches (10.1 to 15.2 cm) apart. If small white flowers appear,...

TL;DR in English: Start growing from mature watercress or seeds. Choose a location for planting. Prepare the growing site. Create a growing site. Water the growing site. Plant the watercress. Cultivate the watercress. Harvest the watercress.

Set the screw aside in a safe place so you don’t lose it.  Not all lockshield valves will have a screw. Check the valve beforehand to determine if you need a flathead or Phillips head screwdriver. Lockshield valves have caps that don’t control anything when if you try to turn them. Remove the cap to access the actual valve underneath. When the screw is removed, simply lift the cap off the valve and set it aside so it doesn’t get lost. If your valve cap had a screw, store the cap and screw together. Grip the top of the metal valve with a sturdy pair of pliers and turn it clockwise. Keep turning the valve until it doesn’t go any further. When it’s all the way to the right, the radiator is off. The metal valve may be hot so do not touch it with your bare hands.

TL;DR in English: Remove the screw from the valve cap if there is one. Take the cap off of the valve. Turn the valve clockwise with a pair of pliers.

A letter of recommendation is like any other professional communication, and follows the same general rules and guidelines.  Place your address on the top right, followed by the date—spelled out. Below that, on the left, place the recipient's name (if known) and address. Open the letter with a formal business greeting. Ex: Dear Ms. Smith, Dear Sir or Madam, (if you don't know the recipient's name) Let the company know right off the bat that you believe in this person. You don't have to be over the top or insincere, but a positive note to start will make a big difference.  "It makes me extremely happy to recommend Michael for the position of Director of Development at XYZ Corporation." "Any company should count themselves lucky to have an employee as bright, friendly, and dedicated as Gina." "No matter what she does, Helena Bonham does it well." Give some context for your recommendation. Let the reader know how you met them, how you worked together, and your basic qualifications.  "As VP of Application Development, I was Michael's direct supervisor from 2009 through 2012. We worked closely together on several key projects, and I got to know him very well during this time. "I was both Gina's adviser and teacher throughout her time at Hamilton College. I watched her shine both in the classroom and in office hours, and had the joy of watching her meet and then exceed expectations with her thesis." "As the Dean of Students, I deal with many young people throughout the day. However, I was lucky to spend several hours a week with Ms. Bonham in her role as Committee President. In my 32 years as Dean, I have rarely been so impressed." Describe what the person has done using specific instances and examples, rather than generalities. Whenever possible, give evidence or stories to back yourself up.  "Michael's sophisticated grasp of database architecture, combined with an innate feel for UX design and a warm, personal approach to his in-company client base dramatically improved the productivity of our company's...

TL;DR in English: Use standard formal letter writing conventions to begin. Open with a short, but enthusiastic, bit of praise. Describe how you know the person. Be specific about the candidate's qualifications and successes. Make comparisons to illustrate their success. Don't exaggerate -- show where and how they can improve. Keep your writing action-oriented. Close the letter affirmatively. Use a business closing and sign your name.

Try to put some effort into truly taking pleasure out of your life. One simple way to do this is to choose something to take pleasure in every day. This can be as simple as taking a moment to taste and savor your morning coffee. Or you could make it a habit to spend thirty minutes each day doing something that you truly enjoy. Try not to measure your life against someone else's. For example, if you are concerned about your finances, try to think of ways to increase your income. This is an action you can take to improve your situation as opposed to thinking about your friend who has a higher paying job and wondering why you can't make that kind of money.  When you compare yourself to someone else, you often end up judging yourself unfavorably. Most people compare themselves with those we perceive as having more or being "better." They also tend to compare themselves to an idealized version of that person, ignoring the fact that the other person is human, with flaws and challenges like everyone else.  Instead of measuring yourself against others, compare your past and present selves. How have you grown in the last year? What can you do today that you couldn't do before?  Comparing yourself to another person is like comparing apples to oranges. It is an inaccurate and irrelevant measurement, since everyone is unique. It's as illogical as comparing your swimming ability to a dolphin's. Research tells us that fresh air can have a positive impact on your health, both mental and physical. Try to take some time each day (or week) to spend some time outdoors. You can visit your neighborhood park, or go on a weekend adventure to a nearby state park. Focus on your positive traits. If you are overly critical of yourself, it can be hard to find pleasure in your life. Instead, take some time each day to focus on your strengths. Make it a habit to compliment yourself. Try taping a sticky note to your bathroom mirror that reminds you that you are a great person. Embracing your inner child can help you feel like you are...

TL;DR in English: Appreciate something each day. Avoid comparisons. Go outside. Practice self-acceptance. Be playful.

A mole (also called congenital nevi) is a pigmented birthmark (caused by an overgrowth of the melanin-producing cells) on the skin that generally appears during childhood. The typical characteristics of moles include:  Tan, brown, red, pink, blue or black color. Smooth, flat, wrinkled or raised texture. Oval to round shape. Typically less than 1/4 inch in diameter but sometimes moles can be bigger. Sometimes moles have hair growing on them. Most moles are harmless but in rare cases they can become cancerous. Monitor your moles and contact your doctor if their appearance changes. These pigmented birthmarks are sometimes caused by a genetic disorder called neurofibromatosis. This condition is divided into three distinct types; the mildest form (neurofibromatosis 1) appears in childhood and is characterized by flat, light brown-colored birthmarks on the skin:  Café au lait spots can be present at birth or appear during childhood and then stabilize. They can be treated with lasers but often return.  In addition to birthmarks, neurofibromatosis 1 may be characterized by freckling in the armpit, soft bumps on or under the skin (neurofibromas or benign tumors), tiny, harmless bumps on the eye (called Lisch nodules), and/or  bone deformities. The two other types (neurofibromatosis 2 and 3) are much less common than the first type and are characterized by more serious symptoms and tumors. If you suspect your child has neurofibromatosis, consult the pediatrician. Neurofibromatosis can't be cured, but your child’s pediatrician will monitor the complications and treat the symptoms. These are pigmentation birthmarks in children that commonly disappear when the child reaches school age. Typical characteristics of Mongolian spots include:  Blue or blue-gray-colored spots on the buttocks, back, spine, shoulders, or other areas. Flat and irregular shape. The skin texture is normal. Typical size is between 2 and 8 centimeters wide. Because these marks disappear on their own, no treatment is recommended. Also known as salmon...

Calculate your net worth. List your assets. List your liabilities. Subtract the total amount of your liabilities from the total value of your assets.

Put the lid on the blender and turn it on to a high speed for around a minute. Keep processing it until any herbs are finely chopped and the vinegar and oil emulsify slightly to combine. Pulse the blender once or twice more once it's done to catch any herbs that haven’t been cut fully. Transfer your meat into a fitting zip-lock bag and carefully pour over your prepared marinade. Seal the bag firmly and use your hands to massage the steak slightly, so as to make sure the marinade is covering all of the meat. If you do not have or don’t want to use a zip-lock bag, you can put your steak in a small bowl and cover it with the marinade. You may need to turn the steak over as you let it marinate to make sure all sides are evenly coated. Put the zip-lock bag with your marinade and steak into the refrigerator for at least two hours to begin marinating. The acid in the vinegar will start eating into the meat, breaking it down and tenderizing it while adding more flavor. You can leave your steak in the marinade for longer to give it more flavor. However, if left too long, the acid will break down the steak too much and ruin the structure of it. Don’t leave the steak marinating for more than 6 hours.

TL;DR in English: Blend your marinade until it is fully combined. Place your steak and marinade in a zip-lock bag. Let the round steak marinate for at least 2 hours in the fridge.

This might include your personal beliefs, your worldview, and your experiences that directly inform your manifesto. By introducing yourself, your readers will have a better sense of your life course.  Make sure that you share life details related to your ideas. Relate important experiences from work, school, or life that help readers see you as an authority. Mentioning your degree in art might be useful in an artist's manifesto, just as civil service would be worth mentioning in a political manifesto. There should be some unifying point to your manifesto. This is delivered in your introduction. It will be a compelling argument, connecting all your ideas together. Make sure you take time to craft a well-written thesis statement. A precept is an actionable ideal, an instruction meant to regulate behavior or thought. Tell your readers a little about what ideals they're going to read about, before they go into it. You don't want to say everything, just a little bit, so that readers can engage with your manifesto's larger picture. Give yourself at least one sentence to mention the main points of your manifesto.  You can use bullet points to list your precepts. Follow a precept up with a sentence explanation if you need clarity, but save most of your explaining for the body paragraphs. If it isn't merely presenting the precept, don't put it in the introduction. Don't just provide your ideas. Offer a direction for change. Manifestos are revolutionary by nature. Though not all revolutions are equal in scale, all share in this desire for change.  Focus on verbs to evoke a sense of action. Avoid verbs like "am/is/are", "have/has" and other passive constructions. For example: "Every artist manifests Art itself," instead of "Every artist is Art itself." Use concrete details. Avoid words like "thing" and "something", as these are not specific. For example: "Something in our political system disturbs me" becomes "Negligence in our political system disturbs me." Take a current problem and re-imagine it changed through your...

TL;DR in English: Identify yourself and your aims. Include a thesis. Explain your precepts in the introduction. Give a plan for action. Elaborate on your ideas individually. Be concise. Make sure to have a conclusion.

Once the tree has been cut or blown down, you want to cut the wood into your desired pieces as soon as possible.  This will help you avoid damage from the elements. Leaving the wood where it fell makes it susceptible to rot, stains, mold and fungus. As wood loses moisture, it shrinks.  Your green wood, or newly cut wood, should be large enough to allow for some shrinkage.  This is especially important to keep in mind if you are drying planks of wood for carpentry.  Wood shrinks an average of at least 5% in the drying process. It is likely the shape will also distort in the drying process.  There is no need to plane the wood until it has reached EMC, equilibrium moisture content, meaning its moisture level is in balance with the surrounding atmosphere. Moisture is released 10-12 times faster from the ends of the wood.  Seal the ends to moderate moisture loss and balance the rate of drying the entire piece of wood.  Ends can be sealed using something as simple as latex paint, or an end grain sealer specially created for this purpose.  Other options are paraffin wax, polyurethane and shellac. Wood drying too quickly from the ends will result in cracks in the ends of the wood, known as end checks.  You can cut the painted ends from your wood once it is done drying.  In that case, leave some extra length on each end to compensate for the cut.

TL;DR in English: Process your wood soon after the tree is felled. Cut your pieces slightly larger than you want the finished product. Seal the ends.

Net worth is defined as your assets minus or liabilities (or what you own minus what you owe).This figure will give you a precise sense of your current financial position, and can help you make good decisions and achieve your goals. You can create a simple worksheet to calculate your net worth, or find a template online. Begin by creating two columns, one for assets, and one for liabilities. An asset simply refers to anything you own, and can include things like cash on hand, savings and checking accounts, retirement funds, real estate, personal property, investments, etc.  Next to every asset, list the value of the asset. For example, if you own a house, list its value. The same would apply things like a stock portfolio, or a car. Add together the values of your individual assets to find the total value of your assets. A liability refers to any debts you owe. This includes things such as a mortgage balance, credit card debt, student loans, car loans, personal loans, etc. Add together the amounts of your individual liabilities to find the total liabilities amount. This number is your net worth. If the number is negative, it indicates that you owe more than you have.Conversely, if you have $100,000 in assets, and $50,000 in debt, your net worth would be a positive $50,000. As you progress in your financial plan and save more, your assets should increase (along with more savings), and your liabilities will decrease (as you eliminate debt)

TL;DR in English:


Eat something cold. Drink a hot beverage like coffee or tea. Sip a sweet or sugary beverage. Breathe in some cold air. Tap your teeth together.

Many potential customers are on social media, and your business should have a presence there, too. That way, you will maximize the number of opportunities to share information about your business and to connect with the public. There are many social media services available that you can sign up with, and each one has distinct features. Major services include:  Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn Snapchat Google My Business Foursquare You don’t have to spread yourself too thin by trying to be active on all social media. Make sure you have a presence on the largest services, and then tailor your online presence with more specific ones. For instance, a restaurant may definitely want to have a Facebook account, but it may then be more important for it to have a presence on services like Yelp and Open table rather than an Instagram account. Make sure that your social media profiles link back to your website, to make it easy for customers to find it. LinkedIn is probably the most popular social networking service for professionals and businesses, but all social media offer ways to connect with customers. Make sure that you are connecting with customers, vendors, and even competitors on all of your social media accounts. Take the time to connect you’re your customers via social media. For instance, if a customer says something great about your company, repost, “like,” or “favorite” the comment. Likewise, if a customer asks a question, answer it online. Your customers will appreciate the attention and feeling like they can reach out to your business. Online promotion provides lots of opportunities to share information about your company in audio-visual formats. You can post material both on your own website and via social media services like YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, Vimeo, and Flicker. Content might include commercials, promotional videos, and photos of your products, projects, services, etc. Customers spend lots of time on social media, and you will want to connect with them meaningfully....

TL;DR in English: Promote your business using a variety of social media. Use the social media that make most sense for your business. Network with customers and other businesses. Respond to people on social media. Post multimedia content. Use social media for press releases.

Owning a pet provides love, companionship, and hours of entertainment. Pet ownership has health benefits, too, such as reducing your blood pressure and the risk of heart disease, increasing your feelings of well-being and connectedness, and teaching you lessons in empathy and nurturing.  For extra warm and fuzzy feelings, consider rescuing a pet from your local shelter. However, only get a pet if you know you can take care of it knowledgeably. Don't just keep an animal for your own benefit. Listening to music taps into your brain’s imagination and sense of self-identity, boosts your self-esteem, and lessens feelings of isolation. Listening to music feels empowering. Put on your favorite album – or that one you keep meaning to dive into, turn up the volume, and cut out all other distractions so that you can really experience the wonders of the music. In some cases, music has been shown to help people coping with dementia, giving them a greater sense of empowerment. Music therapy is also useful in people suffering from anxiety and depression. Your facial expression is traditionally thought of as a window into how you feel, but it's also thought that your facial expression can influence your mood. Therefore, be sure to smile freely, to ensure that your mood is upbeat. You might even want to greet yourself in the mirror with a smile first thing in the morning––that happy face may be just enough to keep that mood flowing all day long. A decent break doesn’t mean zoning out to the TV or going down the internet rabbit hole. It means setting some time aside and making it special. As a thank-you to yourself, give yourself a vacation or “staycation”, a change of scenery – even if it just means having a picnic in your backyard or building a fort with your kids in the living room. Taking a break that is different from the ordinary and lets you "hang loose" can do wonders for your sense of fun, escape, and fulfillment. It is well known that people with a wide circle of friends tend to live longer.Of course, birds of a...

TL;DR in English: Get a pet (optional). Develop an interest in music. Start the day with a smile. Take a break. Spend time with interesting people.

Depending on how you plan to use it, one or the other is likely a better fit for your needs.  You might prefer something that is portable like a walkie-talkie if you plan to use it at work, in the car, or away from a particular room or location. On the other hand, a tabletop model tends to have a higher quality, does not require batteries or charging, and can often hold more channels. There are more and less expensive ones, but the difference is not in quality of sound but rather in the amount of frequencies you are able to program. If you are a beginning hobbyist, you probably don’t need hundreds of channel, but even the basic models usually  have at least 200. But if you want to upgrade to a better model, a more expensive type is likely to hold more channels and frequencies. Actually, it matters more. The size and placement of your antenna will determine the range of frequencies and their clarity. To upgrade an existing scanner, consider purchasing a longer or larger antenna or placing it higher. This can help you receive a clearer signal. There are many websites online where you can check out purchasing guides based on the specifications of various scanner manufacturers and models, so take advantage of these great resources as you make your selection:  Check out www.advancedspecialties.net/scannercomp.htm, which has charts that compare the most popular manufacturers. For even more detailed charts, check out www.wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Digital_Scanner_Comparison_Chart.

TL;DR in English: Choose a tabletop or handheld. Know that most scanner models are similar. Know that the antenna matters as much as the model. Let the hobbyists do the work for you.

Once breast feeding has been established, a pacifier can be introduced. It is generally best to wait until the baby is 3 to 4 weeks old to prevent nipple confusion. Breast feeding can be challenging for both you and your baby. When you are stressed, your body may not trigger the let-down response. Additionally, if you are stressed out, your baby will sense your stress and may become agitated. This can make breast feeding even more difficult and start a vicious cycle. Good posture is important. Always bring baby up to your breast to prevent strain on your back. Place a pillow on your lap to support the baby and your arms while you hold her up to your breast.

TL;DR in English: Refrain from offering a newborn baby a pacifier as it may interfere with breast feeding. Remain calm when baby is fussing. Avoid bending over to feed your baby or you may also find yourself experiencing shoulder, neck and back discomfort as well as sore nipples.

Pick something mild to start.  Eventually the colder temperatures may find a way through your tooth's enamel down to the dentin, cause some pain, and magnify the teeth sensitivity.  Try some ice cream as a starting point to see if the temperature affects you. Chomp a popsicle, something dense enough for a hard bite, for a great next step. Consider something harder, like ice chips, a texture that will definitely be cold long enough to test for issues. Hot foods cause tooth pain because they heat the gasses produced by bacteria in the teeth.  When heated, gasses expand and create pressure, causing internal tooth pain. The sugars in the drinks contact the dentin and the result is a fluid loss in the tooth, a consequential pressure change, and then a sharp pain.    The same painful osmosis process can be caused by juicy, acidic fruits. You could also try chocolate, which can melt between your teeth and stimulate nerves inside your dentin. If you wince when breathing in sharply, your problem could be sensitive teeth.  The air, particularly through pursed lips, is colder and might be shooting through the microscopic tubes in the dentin in your teeth. Gently.  When teeth hit sharply against one another, it's possible to feel anything from a mild twinge to agony all the way into the nerve endings because of either direct contact with exposed dentin or forceful vibrations.  You do not want to crack or chip your teeth, but when teeth normally collide in the mouth there could be some pain if dentin is exposed. A similar type of pain may appear when a wisdom tooth starts growing and generates force throughout the bone, all the way up to the front teeth.

TL;DR in English:

This is optional, but as we talk about colors, is an important suggestion to offer. Bleaching the hair provides a clean slate for colors and dyes to show up in their brightest hues possible. This should of course be done by a professional if possible to decrease likelihood of hair damage. This is a two-step process consisting of: 1) which colors you want your hair to be and 2) what hair sections you want as these colors. Bright, edgy colors typically associated with scene hair include pink, blue, and purple. This gives room for mistakes and allows you to learn what colors you like for your cut and style. It is also less harsh on your hair than permanent dyes so it promotes less damage to your hair. Once you’ve decided on something permanent, go to a colorist to achieve a more permanent version of your look in the least damaging way possible.  You can have the entirety of your hair one color, have the lower section a different color than the upper section, or you can have single strand highlights. Get creative! Popular scene hair colors for the main section of your hair include bleach blonde and dark brown/black but whatever color you like best is fine. You can also keep your entire hair your natural color if that is more to your liking. Natural-colored hair dyes can easily be purchased at grocery stores, while other colors may require you to go to specialty shops. You can always have your hair colored at a salon as well. Follow the movement of your layers to act as a guide to applying the dye. If you’re at home and using packaged dye, follow the instructions and timing correctly to ensure your best color result.  Apply petroleum jelly on your hairline, around your ears, and at the base of your neck to keep dye off of your skin. Wear protective gloves to further prevent staining your skin. Prevent staining by using a towel over your shoulders. Do not wash your hair the day of dyeing your hair, to help your scalp keep its oils and its moisture. Use a water bottle to dampen your hair and promote even coloring.

TL;DR in English: Bleach your hair. Decide on the colors for your hair. Start with temporary hair colors. Use small clips to section off hair.

You will need to balance the potential financial benefits of home ownership with the other factors of your life. A home can be a welcome haven to recharge your batteries or an anchor that locks you down and limits your options. Owning a home is more restrictive than leasing or renting a place to live. Selling a home might take months, or years, of effort to get the price you want. On the other hand, renters can pack up and move across town, the country, or the world fairly quickly by settling the terms of their lease agreement.  Have you considered the possibility that you or your spouse may be transferred to a new location within the next few years? Many experts suggest that if you don’t plan to stay in house for at least three years, buying a home makes no sense. Does your lifestyle conflict with the requirements of owning a home such as weekly lawn care, seasonal cleaning of gutters, or installing shutters? While most of the work of homeownership can be delegated to others for a price, that simply adds onto the on-going cost. Consider the likelihood that your marital, health, or career status may change within the next few years. How will owning a house affect your options to adjust? Thousands and thousands of homeowners have learned to their dismay that the prices of homes, like other assets, can drop in value, leaving the owners with mortgages greater than the value of the property. Foreclosures exploded across the country after 2009 and abandoned homes have driven down the value of surrounding properties. Keeping up with the Jones' is an ever-present danger in most neighborhoods and few are able to resist the competition. The larger the home, the more space to fill up and the greater pressure to buy things. The hand-me-down furniture with your frat-house bookcases looked great in an apartment, but not as good when compared to the neighbor’s furnishings. The combination of empty space and spending time in neighbor's wonderful homes can ruin many a carefully planned budget. If you do buy a house, keep...

TL;DR in English: Decide whether you are ready to settle down in one place. Understand that a house will not necessarily increase in value. Recognize the social pressure of home ownership.

Attach the yarn to your hook using a slip knot, then work a foundation of chain stitches in multiples of 10.  In other words, the foundation chain can consist of 10 chains, 20 chains, 30 chains, 40 chains, 50 chains, etc. The length of your foundation chain will be the final length of your project. At the end of your foundation chain, work two more chain stitches to serve as a turning chain for your next row. Half double crochet once into the second chain from your hook. When counting chains, do not count the loop currently on your hook. To create the first shell of your first official row, you will need to work a series of treble crochets and half double crochets.  Skip four chains in your foundation. Work nine treble crochets into the fifth chain. Skip another four chains in your foundation. Half double crochet once into the next chain. Repeat the previous step across the full length of your foundation, stopping only once you reach the end of the row.  This completes the first official row. If desired, you can change yarn colors after the end of your first row. Doing so is not necessary, though. Chain three, then work one treble crochet into the front posts of each of the next four stitches. Keep the last loop of each treble crochet on the hook.  After the last treble crochet, yarn over the hook and pull the yarn-over through all the loops on the hook. Chain four again. Work one half double crochet into the next stitch in the previous row. Work a series of treble clusters, chains, and half double crochets across the entire second row, stopping before you work the last five stitches. For each group:  Chain four. Work a front post treble crochet into each of the next four stitches, leaving the last loop on the hook after each one. Half double crochet once, then work another four treble crochets across the next four stitches. Leave the last loop on the hook after each stitch, then yarn over and pull it through the all the loops on your hook after the final stitch. This counts as a nine-stitch shell cluster....

TL;DR in English: Work a foundation chain. Half double crochet at the start of the next row. Create the first shell. Work additional shells across the row. Front post treble crochet at the start of the next row. Create treble clusters along the entire row. Work a partial cluster at the end of the row. Work treble clusters and half double crochets across the third row. Create nine-stitch cluster shells across the fourth row. Connect the shells across the fifth row. Repeat as needed. Fasten off.

For the aging process to be effective, the copper must be free of oils and other surface contaminants, meaning that you'll need to take a little bit of time to clean up the object before you attempt to age it. Be sure to clean the entire surface, including small crevices for the best effect. To quickly oxidize your copper, the best mixture involves one cup (.24 liter) of plain white vinegar, 3/4 cup (.18 liter) of household ammonia, and 1/4 cup (.19 liter) of table salt. Mix the ingredients into a spray bottle for easy application, and shake it up to mix the ingredients thoroughly.  For the best effects, non-iodized table salt would be more desirable. Whatever kind of salt you use, try to dissolve it as much as possible to avoid scratching up your copper. Some aging compound recipes also like to add a 1/4 cup (.19 liter) of lemon juice to the mixture. If you have lemon juice, use equal parts of all the ingredients listed above. After dusting the object thoroughly, clean it up with some commercial window cleaner, preferably one with an ammonia base. After giving it a light coat, wipe it down with the same cloth, buffing out as much of the dust and grime as possible. Spray the copper lightly with the window cleaner again, but do not wipe it off this time. This serves to break the invisible surface tension so that the aging compound makes solid contact with the metal itself.

TL;DR in English: Wipe the surface completely with a lint-free cloth. Mix the aging compound. Spray the object with window cleaner.

Respect is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship, and a relationship with a nerd is no different.  You shouldn't only respect your partner for their technical skill. Respect them as a person. You can show respect by listening to your partner's needs and desires, telling your partner you respect them for who they are, supporting your partner's choices, and showing gratitude and appreciation for your partner in front of others. You don't need to share all of your interests. It's perfectly fine if you can't wrap your mind around the beauty of coding or cosplay. That being said, every healthy relationship requires some shared interests. Find these, and explore them together.  Try watching TV shows and movies that nerds and non-nerds alike can enjoy, like Game of Thrones or Star Wars. Teach your partner about one of your own more obscure interests. They may come to find that they enjoy it, too! Nerds tend to be highly interested in topics that are relevant to their current passions and ignore those that are not. For example, you may find your partner has difficulty listening to your recap of your day. Let them know that this bothers you, and that you'd like their full attention.  Tell them, “I really want to share my experiences with you, and it would mean a lot to me if you would listen.” Remember, your partner is not trying to be rude! They just need a little wake-up call sometimes. You partner should challenge you, and you should do the same for your partner. This is key for personal growth. Nerds love logic, so engage in some reasoned debates with your nerd. You'll probably end up learning a lot, and grow closer to your partner at the same time. Pick a subject that you are interested in, and do a little research. Your passion will show through, making for a more engaging discussion.

Like the licensing requirements, the content and format of the exam will vary depending on your location. However, the test will almost always include a comprehensive written section, on top of which you may be asked to describe or demonstrate key skills. Upon passing your exam, you’ll have between 1 and 4 years to complete the process of formally registering your business.  You can download a copy of the exam application from the Contractors State License Board website. To help you prep for the exam, test administrators recommend that you brush up on resources like the International Building Code, OSHA's 29. CFR 1926 manual and various textbooks geared toward painting and decorating craftsmen. For starters, you’ll need a general business license to begin taking on contract work. You may also have to have other specific licenses that permit you to operate in off-limits zones or handle certain materials. A separate home business permit will be required if you plan on using your own residence as the headquarters for your contracting business.  Business licenses are filed with the state or district that the work is to be performed in. As a result, they’ll only be recognized in those places.  The person with the contractor's license is known as the Responsible Managing Individual (RMI). You will need to name yourself as the RMI in your application documents. In the event of accident, injury or property damage, liability insurance will protect you from having your assets seized. Look into a few different providers to compare rates and see what sort of coverage they offer. Good insurance is absolutely critical for small business owners, who stand to lose a lot more should something go wrong.  The total monthly cost of insurance shouldn’t be more than a few hundred dollars.  In addition to general liability insurance, it might also be a good idea to have some form of completed operations or contract liability insurance in the event that there's a dispute over a finished project. Shop around until you find a policy...

Wash with lukewarm water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Wipe gently using your bare hands only until your skin is free of excessive oil. Pat dry with a towel instead of rubbing.  Despite popular belief, acne is not caused by dirt. Scrubbing hard, using hot water, or washing more than twice a day can make your acne worse by irritating your skin. Wash again if you gets uncomfortably sweaty. Sweat may make acne worse. . Many people touch their face without thinking, which can trigger a breakout. Try to keep your hands at your side.  If you have oily hair, wash and condition frequently, and keep it out of your face. The physical irritation of your skin causes the breakout, not bacteria from your fingers. Keeping your hands clean won't solve the problem. Some makeup products help prevent acne, and others encourage it. Because skin is particularly susceptible during pregnancy, cosmetic products that did not bother you before can cause acne now. Stick to makeup labeled "non-comedogenic." This is less likely to clog pores. You may want to talk to your doctor about safe cosmetic use during pregnancy. In the United States, the FDA takes pregnancy into consideration when evaluating cosmetics. Not all countries have this level of protection. Although people often blame acne on diet, the connection is shaky. A healthy diet for you and your baby is much more important than an "acne diet" that might not even work. Notably, some anti-acne diets cut fat (with only slight evidence). This is a bad idea while pregnant. Aim to get roughly 25–35 percent of your calories from fat. Oral zinc supplements seem to help acne, even though zinc lotions probably do not. 15 mg of zinc per day (including from food) is recommended during pregnancy, and may even slightly reduce the risk of complications. Stop taking zinc supplements once you start breastfeeding. These are generally not as effective as medication, but the examples here have no risk of harming the baby. These come in two types:  To exfoliate clogged...

TL;DR in English: Wash the affected area gently. Stop touching your face Reevaluate your makeup. Learn about acne and diet. Take zinc supplements. Make natural skin treatments. Be careful with essential oils.

Assume that you’re considering ideas to start an online business for the first time. You use the same process as you would to assess an existing product. You’re taking more risk because the sales performance of the product is completely unknown.  Find tools to research your potential market. You may choose to examine existing businesses that offer a similar service. What are their clients like? What are they willing to pay for this type of service? How crowded is the market? For your identification service, you might choose to examine the type of people who comment on watch forums and other watch websites. Assess their needs and really consider if there is enough of a market for your services to make starting a business worth it. In order to plan for your business, you'll need to assess how much you will need in startup money. This will vary widely between business types, with some requiring almost zero startup money, and others requiring many thousands of dollars. Start by looking at equipment or inventory you currently have. Then, figure out what you need. Think about inventory, production equipment, website building expenses, and any other costs that you can expect in your first months of operation. Locate these items used or at a discount if you can and then record the prices to determine your startup capital needs. . Financial projections can be difficult to project, especially if you haven't yet begun operations. However, do your research by searching for sales data relevant to your industry online. Check with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to find this data and other important information. Then, use this data to estimate your sales volume over your first three years. Your projections don't have to be perfect, but they need to be reasonable and backed by concrete numbers. Subtract your projected startup costs and cost of goods sold during this time to estimate your profitability. Unless you have startup and working capital in a savings account, you will need a source of capital to get your...

TL;DR in English: Determine the market size. Determine your costs. Develop financial projections Assess your capital sources. Write a business plan

Sometimes being a good student means dropping some after school activities for other things, such as studying, or getting books at the library for things such as school reports. It doesn't matter what the other class members say. If they don't like your outfit or your hair, you shouldn't care as long as you know it looks good on you. Don't be a follower. Be yourself and be nice to others. Being nice will help you make friends, and maybe you can form your own group. But remember, that when it comes to the end of the day, it's the true friends that count, so don't loose sight of what really matters. What happened the year before shouldn't matter anymore. If there were any bullies you had to deal with avoid them as much as possible, ignore them, or if they're still harassing you, tell the teacher. It might be a good idea to set out the next day's clothes each evening, to save you time and stress in the morning.   If your school has a uniform, you might like to try accessorizing with bracelets or earrings, or even a headband. Just make sure you're not breaking any rules. And, you don't have to make any change if you don't want to. Not everyone cares about the "fashion" statement they're making during school hours. Try changing your hairstyle now and then. Curl it or straighten it, explore different looks and choose the right one for you. Once again, this is entirely up to you. If you're happy with short hair or a daily ponytail, then rock it. You're saving time for more exciting things, like reading, learning and sports. Befriend people, stand up for your friends and refuse to spread gossip. This is a good year to begin healthy relating habits and to aim to rise above the rumors, mean-spirited actions and clique selfishness.

TL;DR in English: Do not over-stretch yourself. Be yourself. Move forward, don't look backward. Choose the clothes that you like to wear and feel comfortable in. Be a buddy, not a bully.

Both the plug and coil wires are located at the rear of almost all V8 engines. Four-cylinder engines have them placed on the right side, near the center of the engine. Six-cylinder engines are on the opposite: left side, near the center of the engine. Run a jump cable from the positive battery terminal to either the positive side of the coil, or the red wire that leads to the coil. This will give power to the dashboard, which is essential if you want to start the engine. On Ford cars, it is on the right-side fender well, near the battery. On GM cars, it is on the starter under the steering wheel. Place a flat blade screwdriver in the top center of the steering column, pushing between the wheel and the column. You want to push the locking pin away from the wheel. Don't worry, you're allowed to be rough here. The locking pin will not break or set off any alarms and you should be able to find the solenoid should be underneath. You will see a small wire at the top of the solenoid and the positive battery cable below. Remove the ignition switch wire from the solenoid and, using an insulated screwdriver, short the solenoid's positive post to the terminal where the ignition switch connects. Doing so will apply 12 volts directly from the battery. This should activate the solenoid, and the starter should crank the car.

Pre-assessment is not a required step in the certification process. However, a preliminary review will give the certification body a chance to pinpoint any obvious errors or omissions in your documentation. Clearing up these issues before the formal audit will help you focus your quality system and improve your chances of successfully meeting ISO certification standards.  If you opt to go through with a pre-assessment, you’ll need to provide your chosen certification body with a complete, up-to-date copy of your Quality Management System paperwork. Be aware that the pre-assessment period may add 2-4 weeks to the certification process. On the opening date of your inspection, your registrar will sit down with key company personnel to introduce themselves and briefly discuss the proceedings. They’ll then turn their attention to inspecting your company’s operations and making sure they adhere to the standards detailed in your Quality Management System. Be prepared to offer your assistance any way you can.   You or your employees may be separately interviewed or called upon to explain details of policies and procedures that are central to your operations.  The actual audit is an ongoing process that may take anywhere from days to weeks. The exact length will depend on the complexity of your Quality Management System and the size and organizational structure of your company. Following the audit, the certifying body will send out a detailed audit report by mail. The report will summarize the registrar’s findings throughout the audit and bring to your attention any areas where your company’s practices don’t match the standards listed in your Quality Management System (referred to as “non conformities.”) The registrar may cite two different types of issues—Minor Non-conformities and Major Nonconformities. Make sure your project supervisor, internal auditor, and all other key employees are present when you go over the findings of your audit report. This is a brief document explaining the nature of the issue and...

TL;DR in English: Submit your Quality Management System documentation for pre-assessment. Pass the external audit. Review your full audit report. Submit a plan of corrective action for resolving Minor Nonconformities. Tighten up your operations to deal with Major Nonconformities. Await your ISO certification.

Gently tilt your head to one side then roll it down in a circular motion, sweeping from one side, toward your chest, and to the other side. Then roll your neck back so you are looking up at the ceiling or sky, and sweep it back to the starting position. Do this stretch standing up, and stick your arm out with your forearm pointing up at a 90 degree angle. Hold a broomstick in your hand so that it rests behind your elbow. Use your other hand to pull the bottom of the broomstick forward. Put one arm behind your head and bend it at the elbow. Use your other arm to gently pull your elbow toward your head. Repeat on the other side.

TL;DR in English: Do neck rolls. Try an arm-up rotator stretch. Loosen up your arm muscles.

Expect wet cast iron to start to rust pretty quickly. If you used any water to wash it out, wipe it dry immediately. To really ensure that all moisture has been removed, heat it in the oven or on the stovetop until all traces of water have evaporated. This is only necessary for water, not cooking oil. Cooking oil will actually act as a barrier to water. Give your Dutch oven a quick reseasoning. Wipe it down with a light application of more cooking oil. Then wipe up any excess with fresh paper towels. Set the Dutch oven on a burner, set the heat to high, and let it heat up until it starts to smoke a little bit. It should only take a couple minutes to start smoking at high heat. Always store your Dutch oven and its lid separately. Allow air to circulate inside it when it’s not in use. For double protection, stuff a few sheets of paper towels inside so they absorb any moisture that might accumulate during humid weather.

TL;DR in English: Dry it immediately. Oil it back up and reheat it. Prevent moisture from building up during storage.

When your hair is fried, it’s usually the ends that show the most damage. A visit to your hair stylist for a cut can instantly make your locks look better. That doesn’t mean you have to go for a super short cut, though. Getting regular trims can help your fried hair look healthier.  Try to get your hair trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks. Usually, a ½ inch (1.25 cm) trim is all you need to make your locks look fresher. Consider getting layers to remove the damage without sacrificing length. Fried hair is dehydrated so it requires serious moisture. A hair mask contains more moisturizing ingredients than regular conditioners so it can hydrate your hair more effectively. Use the mask after you’ve washed and towel dried your hair, and leave it on for however long the package says. Rinse it out with cool water.  Look for a hair mask with ingredients that can help damaged hair, such as jojoba oil, argan oil, wheat proteins, and keratin. Wrapping a warm microfiber towel or plastic wrap around your head while you have the mask on can help it penetrate your cuticle more easily and allow it to repair your hair more effectively. If the mask contains protein, however, don't do this. If you hair is extremely fried and damaged, you may want to leave the mask on overnight. Wear a shower cap or plastic wrap over the mask so it doesn’t stain your pillowcases or sheets. It’s usually recommended that you use a mask once a week. If your hair is very damaged, though, you may want to use it twice a week. Fried hair can benefit greatly from the use of a hair oil because it helps moisturize your hair in a way that’s similar to its natural oils. Apply four to five drops of oil to your palm and rub it between your hands. Work it through the length of your hair from the ears down while it’s still wet and then style as usual.  A variety of oils work well for the hair, such as argan, coconut, jojoba, macadamia, and almond. You can also find serums that contain a blend of two or more oils. The length, thickness, and amount of damage to your hair...

TL;DR in English: Get a haircut. Apply a hair mask. Use an oil treatment.

Find the cable that Comcast installed—it will usually be sticking out of the floor or the wall behind your TV—and plug it into the metal coaxial input in the back of the cable box, then screw the connector clockwise to tighten it.  The cable's end has an attachment resembling a needle in the middle of it. Your cable box should have a coaxial cable included. If Comcast didn't install a cable for you, you can attach the other end of this cable to the coaxial input in the wall. It goes in the wide, narrow port in the back of the cable box. On most Comcast cable boxes, the HDMI port is either in the bottom-right corner of the box or at the bottom of the box's back. If you're using A/V cables instead, plug each cable into the same-colored port on the back of the box (e.g., plug the yellow cable into the yellow input). Find your preferred HDMI port on your TV, then attach the cable box to the port in question.  If you have a receiver with multiple HDMI ports plugged into your TV, you can plug your cable box's HDMI cable into the receiver instead. If you're using A/V cables instead, plug the cables into the same-colored ports on the back of your TV. Plug the power cable into a wall outlet or power strip. You should choose a power outlet close enough to the TV that you'll be able to place the box near the TV without stretching or bending any wires. You should see a circular power input on the back of the cable box; fit the end of the power cable into this input. This input is normally on the right-hand side of the box. Doing so will also turn on your Comcast cable box, though you may have to wait several minutes before the box is fully on. Press the "Input" or "Source" button on your TV or remote to switch to the input (e.g., HDMI 1) into which you plugged your Comcast box. Insert the batteries into your remote, then proceed with connecting it to your TV and cable box. Cable box and remote instructions vary from model to model, so consult your remote's manual for instructions on synchronizing the remote with your TV...
