Get the clean shower drain body and place it into the drain. Use your hands to twist the drain body clockwise and tighten it as much as you can. When you can’t screw the drain body any more, use a hammer and a screwdriver again to further twist the drain body into place. Fitting the drain body causes the caulk to spread slightly, so it’s important to remove this excess caulk before it dries. Get 2-3 sheets of regular kitchen paper towels and use these to remove any excess caulk. It’s best to wipe around the whole opening of the shower drain with the paper towels to ensure that you don’t miss any caulk that has oozed out. You can also use an old rag to wipe away the excess caulk. Push the strainer back onto the drain body and make sure that it sits flat. You may need to hit it lightly with a hammer to ensure that it’s in place. When the strainer is in the right place, use a screwdriver to put the screws back in. Make sure that you tighten the screws well. It’s important for the new caulk to cure and set properly before you use the shower again, as otherwise, this might damage the caulk. Read the label of the caulk carefully to check how long your specific product takes to dry.

TL;DR in English: Screw the drain body back on. Wipe the caulk away off the edges with a paper towel. Screw the shower strainer back on to the drain body. Let the new caulk cure for approximately 24 hours.

Some substances, after being ingested, can cause a lot of damage if vomited back up. If you know your dog swallowed one of the following substances, do not induce vomiting:  Bleach Drain cleaner Petroleum-containing substance, such as gasoline Getting a dog to vomit can be dangerous if the dog is extremely sick or unresponsive. If your dog is showing signs of severe poisoning, do not induce vomiting. Take your dog to your vet right away. Look for the following signs indicating severe poisoning:  Difficulty breathing Looking depressed Having seizures Slow heart rate Unconsciousness If possible, get your dog to vomit within about two hours after it has ingested something toxic. After two hours, the toxin will have moved into the intestines, making induction of vomiting no longer effective.

TL;DR in English: Research which substances should not be vomited up. Look for signs of serious poisoning. Induce vomiting promptly.

Once you are off the board, you will need to start creating momentum to start rotating backwards. Push your arms further back behind your head. This will arch your back, opening up your chest and pointing it towards the ceiling. This movement will start to rotate the body. If you focus carefully on what is in front of you, you should notice you are spinning because your view will be changing. As you ascend upwards to face the ceiling, bring your knees towards your chest. Keep your toes pointed and your back straight. If you keep proper form, you are more likely to execute the reverse dive. A common misconception about the tuck position is that your arms should be hugging your knees. In fact, your arms should be pulled in at the sides of your body. Place your hands over the mid-part of your shins. Allow the momentum of the turn to move you backwards. When your feet are above and you pointing toward the ceiling, let go of your shins. Begin to extend your legs upwards to point vertically. After you let go of your shins, circle your arms out over your head to hug your ears. Bring your hands together and clasp them. Keep your arms straight and tight with your head planted firmly between them.  “Circling out” your arms keeps them in balance and prevents the movement of your arms from disturbing your body position. Your arms should be in line with your body when you enter the water. Keep your head still but focus your eyes on the direction you are moving. When you see the surface of the water clearly, prepare to dive in. Close your eyes and keep your muscles tight and arms and legs fully extended as you enter.

TL;DR in English: Extend your arms past your ears as you move into the air. Bring your knees to your chest as you jump. Place your hands on your shins as you do the tuck. Extend your legs above you vertically. Raise your arms and clasp your hands. Look at the water and dive in.

and disinfect the cage once a week. To thoroughly clean the cage, remove all the bedding and make a solution of bleach and water. Spray the solution inside the cage and wipe it down. Then rinse the cage with water multiple times to remove the bleach residue and let it air-dry completely before putting fresh bedding in.  You don’t have to disinfect the cage unless your animals are dealing with an illness, such as ringworm. Bleach may cause irritation to your guinea pig’s feet, eyes, and respiratory tracts. Try using      Check the guinea pig's cage throughout the day and droppings or soiled patches if you see them. Do this frequently to keep your guinea pig clean and the cage smelling fresh.  Rinse the food dishes and waterers throughout the day too. If you’re using fleece bedding, try spot-cleaning with a hand broom you only use in the cage. If your guinea pig's hutch is set on dirt, consider moving to either grass or pavement, especially during colder months. If you let your guinea pig run around outside in an enclosure, choose a grassy space that doesn't have exposed dirt.

TL;DR in English: Clean Spot clean as needed. Keep the guinea pig's hutch or play area away from dirt.

Feed your goldfish 2 or 3 times a day. Feed them only a few pinches of food each session. Be sure you’re feeding your goldfish nutritional feed that is designed for the particular type of goldfish you have.  In total, provide an amount of food over the course of the day that allows for 5 to 6 minutes of feeding. If the food is dry, soak it in water from the tank for five to ten seconds before feeding your fish. Un-soaked food can injure or sicken the fish when it expands in the stomach. Favor pellets, which should sink, but also include flaked fish food – which will often float on the surface, as goldfish like to eat from both the surface and the bottom of the tank. While feeding goldfish, follow the classic "less is more" approach, as overfeeding a goldfish leads to far more dangerous complications than underfeeding.  Watch for long trails of poop trailing from behind your goldfish.  If present, you're feeding it too much. Your goldfish should usually be fully aware of its surroundings and be moving around with interest and excitement.  Most of a goldfish’s time is spent nibbling on stuff and actively swimming around.  If your goldfish isn’t doing so, look closely for signs that it may be sick.  Goldfish eyes should be entirely clear.  If your goldfish has foggy eyes, it is likely sick. Check out the fish’s fins and body.  Fins should be stiff and solid, without uneven edges. Look at the goldfish’s skin.  White spots, fuzzy patches, or red streaks all indicate illness. Test your water at the first signs of illness.  Often, an illness is a sign that either water or feeding needs to be adjusted. Whether your goldfish has developed unsightly spots, is floating around erratically, or has fins that are not as sprightly as usual, there are proven methods of treatment for the most common goldfish illnesses.  There a handful of common goldfish diseases, most of which can be treated by refreshing the water, though some require more detailed treatment. Identify the particular sickness your goldfish is suffering from...

TL;DR in English: Feed your goldfish a well-monitored, nutritious diet. Take care not to overfeed your goldfish. Watch out for signs of illness or infection. Diagnose your goldfish’s illness by consulting specific symptom lists online.

. Form an adjustable ring with your yarn, more commonly referred to as a "magic ring." At the end of the ring, make one chain stitch to secure the ring in place. . Work ten single crochets into the center of the magic ring. Join the final single crochet with the top of the first single crochet with a slip stitch.  If necessary, tug on the ends of the magic ring to close it into a tight circle. This completes the first round. Make one chain stitch to move onto the next round. Make two single crochets into each stitch of the previous round, joining the last and first at the top with another slip stitch.  This creates an increase, thereby enlarging your circle. You should have a total of 20 crochet stitches in this second round. After you finish this round, compare it to the size of the button. If you are on the right track, you should need to make another front round still to cover the front of the button. Make one chain stitch to move onto the next round. Single crochet once in the first stitch of the previous round, then single crochet twice in the next stitch. Continue all the way around the button, joining the first and last single crochets of this round with another slip stitch.  You should have 30 stitches in this round. By now, your button cover should be about the same size as your button. If it is slightly larger, that will work too, since the excess can wrap around the back of the button. Chain stitch once to move onto the next round. Single crochet once in the first five stitches of the previous round, then make a single crochet decrease over the next two stitches from the previous round. Repeat all the way around, joining the last and first single crochets with a slip stitch.  You should have 26 stitches in this round. The piece should begin to curl under into the shape of a bowl. Chain one to get into the next round. Single crochet once in each of the next two stitches. Single crochet decrease over the next two stitches after that. Continue all the way around, joining the last and first stitches...

Caramelize the onions in a slow cooker for a hands-off method.

Since you're using a liquid to clean the screen in this method, it's important to turn off the computer and unplug it from the outlet. The ideal solution is plain distilled water, which contains no chemicals and is gentle on the screen. If heavier cleaning is needed, a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and distilled water can also be effective.  Make sure you use plain white vinegar, not apple cider vinegar or any other kind. Distilled water is better than tap water because it's chemical-free. Manufacturers no longer recommend using any cleaners with alcohol, ammonia or any strong solvents on LCD screens. This is the type of spray bottle that you push from the top to get a fine mist, similar to a perfume bottle. Pour some of the solution into the spray bottle and screw on the top. Don't use this to spray on the screen itself, however. A static-free, fiber-free cloth works best. Remember not to use regular cloth, since this could scratch the screen. Do not soak the cloth; you just want to get it moist, which is the purpose of using the atomizer bottle to wet it.   A wet cloth can drip or run when cleaning the screen and the solution can weep behind the bezel and permanently damage your screen. Try applying the solution to just one corner of the cloth at a time, to make sure you don't get it too wet. Rapid circular movements generally eliminate streaks. Apply a gentle and even pressure to the cloth. Use only enough pressure to keep the cloth in contact with the screen. Take care not to press your fingers into the cloth or screen, since applying too much force when cleaning the screen can permanently damage the LCD matrix and render your screen unusable.  Hold the screen toward the very top or very bottom to avoid re-smudging it as you work. You may need to pass over the screen multiple times before all the smudges have been removed. You may also need to re-dampen the cloth as you work, depending on how many passes over the screen you need to make.

TL;DR in English: Turn the computer off and unplug the power adapter and battery. Create a gentle cleaning solution. Put the solution in a small atomizer bottle. Apply a minimal amount of the solution to a microfiber cloth. Wipe the cloth against the screen in a circular motion.

If people in your life have made suggestions about your habits, take those suggestions into consideration. Remember that true change comes from the inside so also listen to your intuition and honor how you feel as well as feedback you have received from people in your life. You have to be committed to making change and building self-control in order to truly change your behaviors. Some examples might be smoking, eating, work habits, productivity, alcohol, controlling your temper, shopping or spending money, etc. We all have areas of our life that could use more discipline and self-control, so remember to be easy on yourself and take things slowly. Look at your list and choose one thing you want to work on. Changing habits takes time, and building self-control takes effort. Honor your energy and set realistic goals that are achievable.  Remember that you’re only in control of your own behavior while choosing. For instance, don’t choose something like “having a better relationship with my parents” since that requires effort from your parents as well. A goal such as “improve my communication habits with my parents” is better because it hinges on your behavior alone. Be realistic about what kind of changes you can make that will fit into your life, your time, and your ability. If you try to change everything at once, as ambitious as this may be, you can risk self-sabotaging your efforts and giving up. Educate yourself as much as you can about how others have built self-control in similar situations. Ask friends or loved ones who have made similar changes in their lives. Do an internet search about the specific thing you are trying to change. For example, if overeating is the behavior you have decided to change, find books about impulsive eating (or binge eating) and gather as many helpful strategies as you can about how to build self-control around eating. Start a journal just for eating, for example, and write down or keep track of as many strategies as you come across. This gives you more options to try to...

TL;DR in English: Make a list of the habits or behaviors you want to control. Choose the main behavior from the list you’d like to control. Research the behavior. Take an honest inventory of yourself. Set realistic goals. Mark your progress. Motivate yourself. Channel the energy into positive behaviors. Develop new hobbies. Build yourself up. Use your support system. Reward yourself. Learn when to seek help.

In some elevators, simply pressing your floor and holding it will do the trick. You have to hold the button all the way to your floor. When you get on the elevator, press the "Close Door" button. Often, this button will be two triangles pointing in towards each other. Continue holding the "Close Door" button as you push your floor. In some elevators, this combination will give you an express ride.  This combination often works on Otis, Desert, and Dover elevators. Note that sometimes the "Close Door" button is just a placebo for impatient riders, so this trick may not work. In some elevators, you can cancel floors that have already been pressed. Of course, if people see you do so, they will probably not be very happy. Or, they may press their floor button again.  The simplest method is to double press the button, which works in Mitsubishi Electric. In other brands, such as Fujitec, pressing it five times works. Another method is to hold the "Open Door" button while pressing the floor button twice. Some people suggest that you can use your foot to keep the door from opening. Simply put your foot on the middle of the elevator door, covering the edges of the door. In theory, the sole of your shoe will keep the door from opening on floors. If you're cozy with your building manager, you may be able to get the secret elevator code from him or her. However, you may need to promise to use it only for good.

TL;DR in English: Press and hold your floor. Use the "Close Door" button. Cancel other highlighted floors. Use your foot. Ask your building manager.

Oftentimes, asking your parents directly can be stressful. If your parents are often argumentative and shut down discussion, try writing a letter. You can state your case, explaining why you want a PlayStation. You should also state why you think you're responsible enough to have a game console.  Start the letter by directly stating what you want. Open with something like, "Dear Mom and Dad, I would really like a PlayStation for the living room." Proceed to explain why. It can be something like, "I work really hard at school and do a lot of extracurriculars. At the end of the day, after finishing my homework, I would like to have something I can use to relax."  Do you have anything else that can help you make your case? For example, maybe you have some money saved up. You can say something like, "I have saved up almost $100 from my birthday money and my allowance. I would be more than willing to put this money towards a PlayStation."  You should also think of any potential responses your parents may come up with and think of a counterargument. For example, maybe your mother is the type to worry about you wasting your time with video games. Write something like, "I know you probably worry about me spending all my time playing video games. If you allowed me to get a PlayStation, I would be happy to have you and Dad decide how long I can use it each day."  End the letter respectfully. Thank your parents for taking the time to read it and ask them to get back to you. For example, "I hope you'll take this all into consideration. Thank you for reading this letter. Let me know what you think. Love, Tara." Use holidays and your birthday to ask for a PlayStation. Your parents may be more willing to indulge you on a special occasion. Your parents will be buying you gifts during these times, so tell them all you want is a PlayStation console. If they express concern, you can promise to use it responsibly and allow them to veto any games they feel are violent or inappropriate. Many games are designed for adults. A lot of...

TL;DR in English: Make your case in a letter. Put a PlayStation on your wish list. Make your parents want to use the PlayStation as well.

When lifting things, avoid relying on your back. Instead, stand close to the object you are about to lift. Face the direction you intend to carry the object. Tighten your abdominal muscles, stand with a wide stance, and bend your knees. Do not lift suddenly, and do not twist or bend sideways while lifting. For heavy loads, lift with straight arms, and tuck your chin in. Try to sit and stand in a relaxed position. Imagine a string pulling up your head from the crown. Straighten your neck so that it supports the weight of your head. Roll your shoulders back and relax them. Tighten your stomach muscles so they support your spine.  If you have to stand for while, relieve pressure on your lower back by propping one foot on a stool. You can also rotate your ankles one foot at at a time to relieve pressure on the lower back. When sitting for a length of time, sit with your legs and arms parallel to the floor. Sit back in your seat for support. Settle your feet on the floor. Shift positions often to keep your muscles from tensing up. A lack of exercise can lead to weak back muscles, which can lead to back injury. While core muscle strength is not definitively linked to lower back injury risk, there is some evidence to support it.  Try core stabilization exercises such as plank, side bridge, and supine bridge. Balance exercises, such as single leg stance, may also increase core strength. Try leg jumps and bounding, as well as regular strength training exercises such as lunges, squats, and hamstring curls. If you have back pain, your attitude toward it may shape your recovery. Stress, worry, anxiety, and depression can make it harder to recover from back injury. Anxiety, in particular, can worsen your experience of pain.   Mindfulness is incredibly effective at improving your experience of back pain. Consider taking a course in mindfulness-based stress reduction.  Cognitive-behavioral and self-regulatory therapies may help. Ask your physician to refer you to a qualified therapist.

TL;DR in English: Lift properly. Improve your posture. Strengthen your core muscles. Be mindful of your stress.

Fill your slow cooker at least 1/2 full with sliced onions and add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil or butter for every 1 pound (450 g) of onions. Put the lid on the cooker and turn it to low. Slow-cook the onions for 10 hours so the onions brown and soften. If you remember, you can stir the onions occasionally to help them cook evenly, but it's fine if you simply leave them to cook without stirring.

Squeeze the bottom of the pot your lavender plant is in. This helps loosen the lavender and its dirt ball from the smaller pot. Tilt the lavender sideways and pull gently on the plant’s base. With the loosening of the previous step, the lavender plant should ease out of its old pot.  The dirt should be solid enough that it feels like it will come out in one chunk if handled gently. Handle your pot-less lavender gently to avoid breaking the dirt and damaging the roots as well as the foliage above the dirt. Now you’re ready to pot your lavender plant in the new pot! Nestle it into the dirt that is already in the pot for security. The base of the plant should sit 3-inches below the rim of the pot. Gently break the surface of the lavender dirt ball with your fingers to release some of the roots.  Root binding happens when a plant has been in a small pot too long and the roots rival the dirt for space. This makes the dirt hard and unless the dirt and roots are loosened, the roots will not expand in their new pot and the plant will soon die.  Most potted plants won’t be root bound, but it’s a good idea to loosen up the roots and dirt a little to ensure the roots get a healthy start. Fill it only up to the top of the dirt ball around the lavender plant’s roots. Don’t pack the soil around the Lavender plant. The soil needs to stay loose for effective drainage. Sprinkle the fertilizer on the soil and then scratch the fertilizer into the soil with a fork.  Timed-release fertilizer can be found at any gardening or farm store and will release fertilizer as the plant is watered. An example of a timed-release pellet fertilizer is alfalfa pellets. They are organic and contain Triacontanol, which is a growth stimulant.  Some soils come with fertilizers like alfalfa pellets already mixed in, so you may not need to do this. Turkey grits or white landscaping pebbles work best for mulching lavenders. Lay the mulch on the soil in a 2-inch thick layer up to the base of the plant.  This mulch is great for preventing rot in the...

TL;DR in English: Remove the Lavender plant from its current pot. Place the lavender plant in the center of the pot. Fill the rest of the pot with your potting mix. Spread a half cup timed-release fertilizer over your potting soil. Mulch your lavender plant.

Even if you have a covered play area in your yard, never leave your small dog alone outside. Your dog may find a way out of its enclosure and wander out into full view of a bird of prey. Retractable leashes allow your dog to get too far away from you. Purchase a standard leash that is no more than 6 feet (1.8 m) long. And never let your dog off the leash while outside of your yard, even if you’ve never seen predators near your home. Be on the lookout for trees, both near your home and along your walk route, where birds of prey have nested. These nests may be up in the branches or inside tree cavities. Don’t allow your dog off its leash, even in your yard, if a bird of prey has nested nearby.  Wait until the eggs have hatched and the birds have left the nest before you let your dog off the leash outside. In the U.S., birds of prey are federally protected, so do not attempt to disturb or remove an active nest. A Raptor Shield is like a dog coat that you sling over your dog’s back and clip under its stomach. The canvas material makes it impossible for a bird’s talons to latch onto your dog’s skin and carry it away. Put this on your dog whenever it’s outside, particularly if it will be off leash.

TL;DR in English: Supervise your dog whenever it’s outside. Keep your dog on a non-retractable leash during walks. Keep your dog away from any trees with nests. Purchase a Raptor Shield for your dog to wear outside.

It’s common for English speakers to see Latin words and phrases italicized, such as in medias res (“in the middle of things”) or in loco parentis (“in the place of a parent”). However, Latin words and phrases that have entered common usage are usually not italicized -- including i.e. and e.g. To indicate a separate clause, you can either insert a comma before "i.e." or "e.g." or you can use parentheses, both of which are shown in the examples above. If you use parentheses, open them right before the "e.g." or "i.e." and close them after you have given your example or alternate definition. For American English usage, you should always put a comma right after both "i.e." and "e.g." as shown in the examples above. For British English usage, do not put a comma right after either "i.e." or "e.g." If you’re just writing for yourself or in an informal situation, you may not have any specific requirements. However, if you’re writing in a particular academic discipline, or in a particular profession (such as journalism), you will probably be asked to write in accordance with the relevant style manual. For example, APA Style, the official style of the American Psychological Association, is used widely in the social sciences and in professions like journalism. APA states that you should always put a comma after e.g. and i.e. when using them: “Some sources (e.g., Janet, 2010; Jeff, 2015) argue that mushrooms are tasty” and “There are three meals in the day (i.e., breakfast, lunch, and dinner)”. If you use a sentence that includes i.e. and a parenthetical comment, make sure that the restatement is directly equivalent to what you said first: you should be able to swap them out without a loss of meaning.  The sentence “His favorite type of sandwich is an open-faced sandwich (i.e., one that uses only one piece of bread rather than two)” represents correct usage of i.e. The sentence “His favorite type of sandwich is an open-faced sandwich (i.e., a panini or similar type of sandwich)” represents incorrect usage, because “a...

TL;DR in English: Italicize only if specifically asked. Use parentheses or commas with both. Determine any style manual requirements. Ensure that what you write after i.e. means the same as what precedes it. Try replacing the abbreviations with their meaning.

You don't want to have to make the decision of where to put your stove as you are wheeling the 500-lb iron behemoth around on a dolly. Designate a site in your house for your stove well in advance of when you plan to buy it. Since stoves are space heaters, generally, you'll want the stove on the first floor of your house where you spend most of your time so that it can warm you effectively throughout the day. To further maximize the efficiency of your wood stove, try to pick a spot in a room with especially good insulation so that the heat from the stove is not lost through the walls or windows. Keep in mind that every wood stove requires a chimney. Take this into account when choosing a spot for your stove. If you plan for your chimney to extend straight up through the roof, for instance, you may not want to pick a spot for your stove that's directly under one of your second floor's main support beams. Wood stoves can get very, very hot during use. Radiating heat from the stove can pose a hazard to nearby walls and furniture, so wood stoves generally have a specified clearance - a minimum safe distance between the stove and nearby floors and walls. Your stove clearance can depend on where you live, whether your residence's floors and walls are combustible, and the type and size of wood stove you have. If in doubt about your stove's clearance rating, contact your stove's manufacturer. This applies only if your stove is UL or CSA listed - please check the label. If not you may still be able to install it. Check if your locality allows non-listed solid-fuel appliances (this is what wood stoves are officially called). If yes then check next with your insurance company. If all is good you can install your unlisted stove according to NFPA211. This will specify all clearances. As you shop for wood stoves, be sure to check that any stove you're considering buying is properly certified as meeting criteria for safety and environmental friendliness. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)...

TL;DR in English: Decide on a location for your stove. Observe your stove's clearance rating when picking a suitable spot. Choose a certified wood stove. Pick a stove that's the right size for your needs.

If you were dating or if she was your friend, decide if you still want her in your life. Either way, you might still be able to make her feel guilty, but it's best to figure out whether you still want her or not. Decide what she did wrong. Admit to any part you may have had in the conflict and focus on the specifics of what she did to offend you. Is she mean to everyone or is she only mean to you? Give yourself time to recover from the way she treated you. Stop talking to her. Avoid her at school, work, or wherever you normally see her. If you happen to run into her, walk past her and pretend she isn't even there. Focus on healing yourself without relying on time to do it for you. Surround yourself with friends that support you. Talk to your friends about how she hurt you. Give yourself a support group so you don't have to face her alone before you are ready. Before you confront her, make sure you have a clear idea of what you are going to say. If your thoughts toward her are very chaotic, take time to write down the specific things that are hurting you.

TL;DR in English:


Brush your hair out with a wide toothed comb. Spray gray hairspray at the top of your hair. Run the comb to the tips and spray. Comb and spray the rest of your hair.

The quickest way to get rid of a raspy voice is to talk. Although your voice will sound gritty and unpleasant at first, it will soon even out and you’ll soon find yourself speaking in a normal voice.  If you don’t want others to hear you talking in a raspy voice, try talking to yourself, talking to your pets, or even talking or singing in the shower. Alternately, even if you wait a few hours to begin speaking in the morning, most of the raspy sound will have left your voice. Your voice will sound the hoarsest during the first hour or two after waking up. If your vocal chords have dried out overnight, you’ll likely wake up with a raspy, dry voice in the morning. To get rid of the raspy quality as soon as possible, have a large drink of water, coffee, or even orange juice as soon as possible. The liquid will clear any phlegm or liquids that have built up in your throat.   Vocalists are often advised to squeeze a lemon slice into a glass of water to help “wake up” their vocal cords. Avoid drinking milk in the morning, as it is a relatively thick liquid and will not clear your throat well. If your throat and vocal cords are coated with mucus (which often produces a raspy voice), try clearing your throat to remove the thick, phlegmy coating. This will help your voice to quickly return to its normal quality. Humming will “wake up” your voice by causing your vocal cords to vibrate and shake off any mucus coating them. When you hum correctly, you should feel you lips and nose gently vibrating. Try humming for 30 seconds, and then saying a few words. See if your voice has improved. If not, hum some more.

TL;DR in English: Start talking shortly after you wake up. Drink water or coffee when you get up. Clear your throat gently. Hum softly to help clear your throat.

This type of surgery causes less damage to the surrounding tissue and requires a shorter recovery period. However, there is a risk of hernia recurrence. This procedure uses a tiny camera and miniaturized surgical equipment to repair the hernia using small incisions. The hernia is repaired by sewing the hole to close the abdominal wall. A surgical mesh is also used to patch the hole. This type of surgery is done for hernias where a portion of the intestines has moved down into the scrotum. A part of the scrotum or groin may be incised to retrieve and reposition the intestine. Then, it is closed using stitches. Open surgery requires a longer recovery process. But, the patient can resume his normal daily activities six weeks after surgery. Hernia surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure. The surgeon repositions the herniated tissue and, if strangulation has occurred, removes the oxygen-starved part of the organ. The damaged muscle wall will frequently be repaired with synthetic mesh or tissue.

TL;DR in English: If possible, get a laparoscopic surgery. If you have intestinal movement, you will need open surgery. Remember that you will be under local or general anesthesia during the surgery.

To make a professional quality silhouette, you'll need to take a little time to effectively select the object you're silhouetting. Since some of these techniques require deleting or altering the original image, it is best to just duplicate the layer now and leave the original with it's little padlock, preventing you from ruining it. To duplicate a layer, simply right-click it in the layers panel, then select "Duplicate Layer..." The Pen tool is, in many ways, Photoshop's most powerful too, though it takes getting used to. Select it from the menu, or press P, then click to create little points around your outline. When you complete the entire selection, you'll have a "Path," or solid line around your entire image. When done, simply right-click on the path and choose "Make Selection."  If you're working with a very curvy shape, try the "Free Form Pen Tool," found by clicking and holding the Pen Tool in the toolbox. The pen tool is perfectly precise, but only if you know how to handle it. Take some time to experiment with it, especially with curves. It will trace the best shape for you, with practice. For example, say you've got a woman standing against a mostly blue sky, and you want to silhouette her. Instead of selecting her, you can select the sky behind her, removing it from the layer. Simply use the Magic Wand to select the background, the delete it away to leave just the silhouetted object. Change the tolerance at the top bar to make the Wand more or less precise. A higher number (75-100) selected a wider range of colors while a low tolerance (like 1-10) will only select very similarly colored pixels. The most intuitive tools for creating selections, these generally require a steady hand and some patience, though they are easy to use. For all of them, simply click and drag around the object with your tool to create a selection. You can add more to a selection by holding Ctrl/Cmd when you click, or subtract from a selection by holding Alt/Opt.   Quick Selection: Looks like a paintbrush with a circular...

TL;DR in English: Duplicate your original image layer to get a spare copy for your silhouette. Use the Pen Tool (P) for the most exact, perfect outlines to make silhouettes from. Use the Magic Wand (W) tool to separate a simple 1-2 color background. Use the remaining selection tools to trace out simple objects. Ctrl-Click on a layer from the layers menu to automatically select it. Use "Refine Edge" to get the perfect selection.

Write the problem as a long-division problem. Just like a simpler division problem, you can start by looking at the smaller number, and asking "Does it fit into the first digit of the larger number?" Let's say you're solving 3472 ÷ 15. Ask "Does 15 fit into 3?" Since 15 is definitely larger than 3, the answer is "no," and we move on to the next step. Since you can't fit a two-digit number into a one-digit number, we'll look at the first two digits of the dividend instead, just like we would in a regular division problem. If you still have an impossible division problem, you'll need to look at the first three digits instead, but we don't need to in this example: Does 15 fit into 34? Yes, it does, so we can start calculating the answer. (The first number doesn't have to fit perfectly, it just needs to be smaller than the second number.) Find out exactly how many times the first number fits into the other. You might know the answer already, but if you don't, try making a good guess and checking your answer with multiplication. We need to solve 34 ÷ 15, or "how many times does 15 go into 34"?  You're looking for a number you can multiply with 15 to get a number less than 34, but pretty close to it:  Does 1 work? 15 x 1 = 15, which is less than 34, but keep guessing. Does 2 work? 15 x 2 = 30. This is still less than 34, so 2 is a better answer than 1. Does 3 work? 15 x 3 = 45, which is greater than 34. Too high! The answer must be 2. If you set this up like a long division problem, this should feel familiar. Since you were calculating 34 ÷ 15, write the answer, 2, on the answer line above the "4." This is the same as a normal long division problem, except we'll be using a two-digit number. Your answer was 2 and the smaller number in the problem is 15, so we calculate 2 x 15 = 30. Write "30" underneath the "34." The last thing you wrote went underneath the original larger number (or part of it). Treat this as a subtraction problem and write the answer on a new line underneath. Solve 34 - 30 and write the answer...

TL;DR in English: Look at the first digit of the larger number. Look at the first two digits. Use a little guesswork. Write the answer above the last digit you used. Multiply your answer by the smaller number. Subtract the two numbers. Bring down the next digit. Solve the next division problem. Continue using long division. Find the last digit. Find the remainder.

Use a wide toothed comb to brush all your hair out. Then take the comb and comb down a section of hair at the side of your face until midway down the hair shaft.  Combing out your hair separates all the strands so that you can more evenly spray your hair. If you have short hair, you don’t need to comb through your hair. Still holding the comb in your hair, spray the top of the section of hair you are combing lightly and evenly with gray or silver hairspray. If you have short hair, you can simply spray your entire head evenly and with the hairspray, building it up in layers if you want a more dramatic effect.  You can find temporary gray or silver spray color at most beauty stores and Halloween stores. Silver spray may be more common but it also may have a metallic effect, so it’s best to check the packaging or consult a store associate before purchasing a temporary silver hairspray. Hairspray is very effective at coloring your hair, but it may make your hair stiff depending on how much you use. Once you have sprayed the top of the strand of hair you are combing, run the comb down your hair shaft and spray to the tips of your hair. Repeat the spraying process on your whole head, partially combing a section of your hair, spraying it from the top of your head down to the comb, then combing out the rest of the section and spraying. Use a mirror for the back of your head and apply the spray until you are satisfied with the result. Colored hairspray usually lasts from 1-3 shampoos.

TL;DR in English:

yourself to others. It’s hard to stop comparing yourself to what others are doing. However, it’s important to stop because you’ll always view yourself unfavorably, even if that’s not true. Instead, compare yourself to you in the past to make sure you’re growing into the person you want to be.  For instance, compare your skills last year to the skills you have now. As an example, you might be tempted to compare your grades to your friend's grades. Instead, compare the skills you have now to your performance in the past. You might say to yourself, "Last year I didn't understand algebra at all, but now I'm passing my class. That's progress!" Life is short, so spend it doing things that make you happy. People are going to have a different perspective on things than you do, but don’t listen when they say negative things. Just keeping doing you.  For instance, don’t be afraid to wear Halloween clothes in July if that makes you happy. Similarly, wear wigs every day if you have fun changing up your look. If people make fun of you, it might help to give a comeback and walk away. You might say, "Did you stay up all night thinking of that?" "Wow, I'm surprised you care," or "Always nice to hear from my fans." This can make them stop. If talking to them makes you uncomfortable, walk away from them and talk to someone who understands you. When people make comments, remind yourself why it's important to you to be yourself. Say, "I want to write my own story, so I can't let these people hold me back." You’ve probably encountered conformity at your school or work. Sometimes it’s important to follow rules, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up your identity. Don’t feel like you have to fit in with everyone else. Just be yourself.  For instance, don’t worry about what’s trendy or fashionable. Choose clothes that express what you want to say to the world. Similarly, don't feel pressured to choose an educational or career path just because everyone else is doing it. When you make decisions, do what feels right for you even...

TL;DR in English: Stop comparing Do what makes you happy without worrying about what others think. Reject conformity and choose your own path. Combine your clothes in unexpected ways to create unique outfits. Accessorize Play around with your makeup if you wear it. Get a tattoo or piercings if you like the way they look.

If you are experiencing two or more of these symptoms, you may be experiencing heart failure. You should make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible to get checked out. You should never rely on your own diagnosis, but go get checked out by a doctor immediately.  The symptoms of heart failure are not very specific and may be symptoms of other conditions. Heart failure causes your heart to get worse if left untreated. This is why it’s important to be seen by a doctor as soon as possible. If you experience any chest pain, fainting, weakness that impairs your functioning, severe shortness of breath, or pink, foamy mucus when you cough, you should contact emergency services. The first step in diagnosing heart failure is for your doctor to give you a physical exam. During this exam, the doctor will take your blood pressure and weigh you. They will check over your body, looking for signs of swelling in your legs and feet and around the abdomen. Your doctor will also use a stethoscope to listen to your heart, checking for anything that sounds abnormal. They will also check the sound of the lungs for any fluid. When you go to your appointment, your doctor will need certain information from you. You need to give them a list of your symptoms, including those that you may not believe are related to your heart failure. Be as detailed as possible.  You will need to tell your doctor about any personal or family medical history that is pertinent. You should share any personal or family history of heart disease, heart failure, high blood pressure, stroke, or even diabetes. You may need to tell your doctor about recent life changes or major stresses. Tell your doctor about all your medications, including vitamins and supplements you take. Your doctor may want to know about your dietary or exercise habits. Your doctor will ask you if you smoke, if you used to smoke, and about your alcohol consumption. If you think you are experiencing heart failure, you should ask your doctor questions about your symptoms,...

TL;DR in English: Go see your doctor. Get a physical exam. Share important information about yourself. Ask your doctor questions.

When you sell a car that you still owe on, you don't actually own the title. Essentially, the lender will be selling the car. Talk to your lender about the procedures they have in place for getting the title to the buyer quickly. Because your car is financed, some buyers may get a bit nervous. If they give you the money, you can pay off the car and keep the title, or keep the money and not pay off the car at all, which would mean it would still be under financing. Neither of these options would make the buyer happy, not to mention they're illegal. However, to put them at ease, you can have them make the payment directly to the bank through cash or a check. If you owe more to the lender than the buyer is willing to pay, it's your responsibility to pay off the rest of the loan. You'll need to do this when you're selling the car so the title can be transferred. You'll need a bill of sale and a release of liability, which you can usually print off from the website for the department of motor vehicles (DMV). You can also pick them up in person. For the bill of sale, you'll need things like the vehicle identification number and the mileage on the odometer. In most cases, it's best to just make the sale at the bank with the buyer. That way, if you have any questions, the lender is right there to answer them, as well as to provide paperwork and notarize it as needed. Plus, it lends a formality to the sale, and the lender can hand the title over to the buyer. Take your license plates off before finishing the sale. Obviously, you won't always be able to meet the buyer to sell your car. In that case, you'll need to take the bill of sale to your local DMV. They can issue the buyer a temporary operating permit until the title comes in. Once you complete the sale and get the title, you can then transfer it to the buyer by signing it and mailing it.

TL;DR in English: Ask about the lender's procedures for selling a car. Have the buyer make the payment to the bank. Pay any extra still owed on the loan. Have the documents ready. Meet at one of the lender's locations to make the sale. Obtain a temporary operating permit for out-of-state buyers.

Put the berries in a strainer and hold it over the sink under the faucet. Turn on the cold water and rinse the strawberries off thoroughly to remove any dirt or grime. If your faucet has a spray nozzle, use this to give the berries a shower and cover more surface area at once. Hold a strawberry in 1 hand and pinch the green top leaves firmly between 2 fingers on your other hand. Gently twist and pull to remove the stem. The stems are edible, but they don't have a nice taste or texture, so removing them leaves you with just the tasty berry.  Don’t slice off the tops because it just wastes some of the tasty red fruit near the top. Make sure to wait until after you wash the strawberries and are ready to slice them to remove the tops.

TL;DR in English: Rinse the strawberries under cool water. Pick the green top stems off every strawberry.

If your braces are bothering you, try cold drinks. Ice cold water and cold juices or soft drinks can help ease the pain of your teeth and gums. Cold liquids can cause a numbing sensation in the mouth, resulting in a reduction of inflammation and pain. As cold drinks can provide pain relief, you could try cold foods to see if they have a similar effect. Try drinking chilled smoothies or eating ice cream or frozen yogurt. You can also refrigerate fruit, veggies, and other healthy foods so they're cool when you eat them. Cold fruits, like chilled strawberries, may have some effect on strengthening the gums. Do not, however, bite into any frozen foods, and avoid using your front teeth. Doing so may cause cracks in your enamel, which can be difficult to repair and increase sensitivity. Icing sore areas can decrease inflammation, lessening pain. Applying an ice pack to the outside of your mouth may reduce pain. Remember, do not apply a store bought ice pack directly to bare skin. Wrap it in a towel or cloth before use to avoid frostbite and other complications. A salt water rinse is an easy home remedy that help ease pain for some. It's quick and easy to use.  Mix about a half a teaspoon of salt into a glass of warm water. Mix until the salt is dissolved.  Rinse your mouth with the solution for about 30 seconds and then spit it out into a sink.  You can also rinse with chamomile tea, green tea, or ginger tea, which may have an anti-inflammatory effect. Rinse twice a day: for one minute in the morning and two minutes before going to bed. Teeth tend to be very sensitive after braces are tightened or adjusted. Softer foods can help reduce pain and irritation.  Go for foods that do not require much movement of the teeth. Things like mashed potatoes, smoothies, puddings, soft fruits, and soups are good options.  Try to avoid spicy foods and hot drinks as these can cause gum irritation.

TL;DR in English:


Start by massaging your entire hand. Warm up and relax your hand. Work on your fingers. Massage the palm of your hands. Move on to the backs of your hands. Concentrate on areas that you feel might be causing your chest pain.

You’ll improve over time if you adapt your practices to your players. Consider how effective your practice sessions are and modify them to suit your team’s needs. If you don’t see improvement in your players, consider changing the format of your practices or the lineup of your team. Be open to change. Testing an idea will give you good feedback on whether or not you’re going in the right direction. If a play doesn’t work, changing it can only help identify the problem. Ask other coaches or parents what they think you could improve upon. Set concrete goals for yourself and try to reflect on how well you’re doing. A good coach adapts and seeks feedback when things aren’t working. Your team isn’t a dictatorship. When your players provide you with feedback, consider it carefully. It’s possible that they see things that you don’t during a practice or game. You only have one set of eyes, and you’re going to miss things during game time. Have a friend or parent of a player set up a camcorder or phone to record your games. Watch the games later and try to figure out what is working and what isn’t. Studying game film is an excellent way to improve your skills as a coach. You can watch game film with your players as well. Sometimes it helps for players to see what the game looks like from a different perspective. A good coach is a good student. Read as many books about coaching the game as you can, and sign up for clinics that teach coaches how to improve. Clinics also provide a good opportunity to bounce ideas off of others and meet new people. Improving your skills as a coach is a good way to develop and create a championship team!

TL;DR in English: Develop your coaching style over time by considering what works. Reflect on how you can improve and seek feedback. Study game film to understand what’s working. Attend coaching clinics and basketball camps to learn new things.

Combine about two tablespoons of baking soda with about one tablespoon (15 milliliters) of water.  The mixture should not be too thin.  If it sloshes about in the bowl you mixed it in, add some more baking soda to help it achieve a more paste-like texture.  It also shouldn't be too thick.  If the mixture is thick and dry, and doesn't adhere well to the fork or spoon you use to mix it, add some water to thin it out. The more grout you have to clean, the more paste you'll need. The easiest way to apply the paste to the grout is with your finger.  Simply scoop a little dollop of the paste onto your finger tip and smear it in an even layer across the grout you wish to clean. In a spray bottle, combine water and vinegar in a one-to-one ratio.  For instance, you might combine 1.5 cups (354 milliliters) vinegar with 1.5 cups (354 milliliters) water. To prevent grout from accumulating grime in the shower, just spray this mixture onto the shower grout two or three times weekly after getting out of the shower. Point the nozzle of the spray bottle toward the baking soda paste you've smeared along the grout.  Squeeze the handle of the bottle.  Repeat as necessary until all of the paste has bubbled up somewhat. You may have to wait about five minutes for the vinegar and baking soda to react. Once the paste has become fizzy with the application of the vinegar mixture, use a stiff-bristled toothbrush to scrub the grout clean.  Use a toothbrush you aren't planning on using again for anything but detail cleaning. Once you've loosened the grime and grit along your grout, it should wipe away with ease.  Take a damp rag or paper towel and wipe it along the grout you've cleaned.  Wipe the area along the edges of the grout, too, to soak up any of the lingering water/vinegar. If you want to give your floor an additional level of shine, mop the whole thing after you're done.

TL;DR in English: Make a baking soda paste. Apply the paste to the grout. Mix water and vinegar. Spray the mixture onto the paste. Scrub the grout. Wipe the grout.

This is when the flowers are at their best.  Some suggestions for use include:  Add the flowers to salads, ice cubes or and use as a garnish; use them in place of violets for sugared/candied flowers Use the leaves in meat dishes, fish dishes and salads; also good in soups, vegetable bakes, fruit salads and with pulses Use as a companion plant. If grown near cabbages, it may serve as a decoy plant to keep some of the white cabbage butterflies off the cabbages. Use in potpourri to impart its fragrance; dried leaves and flowers can be used in potpourri. Make a tea from hyssop for medicinal purposes, such as helping with coughs and improving digestion. Consult reliable herbal remedy books for directions and contra-indications.

TL;DR in English: Pick flowers and young flowering tops of hyssop soon after flowering starts. Pick leaves any time during growth. Use hyssop as required.

Whether you're writing clues, placing photos in special locations, or giving little gifts throughout your treasure hunt, you'll need to get all of the materials that you'll need to create your treasure hunt. Get these supplies when you're not with your partner so that they don't become suspicious.  Whether you're writing clues or giving small gifts, you'll need to prepare all of the steps to your treasure hunt. Consider numbering the each clue to make sure that you place the clues in order. Go to each of your treasure hunt locations to set up your clues. Tape your clues in place, use an object to weigh them down, hang them from a fence with ribbon, hang a banner from a tree, or have someone waiting there to hand out your clues to your partner. Each clue should be fairly easy to spot so that your partner doesn't have a problem finding it.  Consider getting your mutual friends involved to help deliver the clues to your partner in each location. Consider hiring people to help deliver clues to your partner. These people could be dressed up in costumes to really take your treasure hunt above and beyond. If you're setting up clues in stores, restaurants, etc., make sure to talk with the management to get their permission. Some of your clues may require the assistance of these stores, so make sure that they are willing to help. It's a good idea for you to do a test run of the treasure hunt so you'll know whether it works, if it's too easy or too difficult, and approximately how much time it takes to complete it. This will allow you to make any necessary adjustments before sending your partner on their romantic treasure hunt. This will also help you determine what time you should be waiting for them at their final location. Now that you've set everything up, get this romantic treasure hunt started. Give your partner their first clue, and let them begin the journey. Make sure that you are waiting it the final location by the time they get there.

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Set up each step. Do a test run of the treasure hunt. Start the treasure hunt!

For small areas, run the injury under cool water for 5 to 10 minutes, removing any ash and allowing the pain to dull.  For larger areas, submerge the wound in a bowl or tub of water. When finished, gently blot the wound with a fresh towel to dry off.  Do not run the water at extremely cold temperatures or use ice. Doing so could damage the wound further. If necessary, remove any jewelry or other tight objects from the affected area before washing. After 5 to 10 minutes, wrap non-stick gauze or tissue over the wound and place a cooling pack or cold compress on it to reduce swelling. Keep the pack pressed onto the burn for 10 minutes at a time, or until it starts to feel uncomfortable. Do not use ice to treat the wound as doing so could cause tissue damage. To soothe the skin without causing further irritation, apply a thin layer of aloe vera or vitamin E gel to the burn. Do not use topical butters or ointments, which can inflame the area and cause further damage. While your skin recovers, apply a small amount of either substance to the burned area twice a day, keeping it hydrated and healthy. For open wounds, apply antibacterial ointment instead to prevent infection. For some burns, in particular those that have blistered over, a bandage will not be necessary. However, for burns with open wounds, cover the affected area in sterile non-stick gauze that's designed specifically for burns wounds. Make sure the material is loosely wrapped to avoid cutting off circulation to the area or further damaging the skin. If you're dealing with a large wound, or you don't have non-stick gauze, visit a doctor to have the burn professionally dressed. If your burn is causing a significant amount of pain, over-the-counter medications may be a good solution. Standard drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen should relieve pain without affecting the healing process. Avoid sprays and creams that have to be applied to the wound itself. Before taking pain relievers, read all label warnings thoroughly. If necessary, consult with your doctor...

TL;DR in English: Place the burned area under cool water as soon as possible. Place a cooling pack on the wound. Apply aloe vera or vitamin E gel. Apply a non-adhesive bandage to open wounds. Take pain relievers if necessary.

According to reflexology theory, this will help to relax you and flush toxins from your system. Also, general massage has been proven to reduce pain and improve quality of life. Hand reflexology points are located more deeply than the similar points on your foot, so warming up your hand is very important to avoid pain.  Gently rub massage oil or moisturizer into the wrist of your hand, using gentle, sweeping motions with your thumb for about 30 seconds. Continue these sweeping motions as you move up to the palm of the hand, sweeping from the inside of the palm to the edges for about 30 seconds. Turn you hand over and gently run your thumb from the webbing between your fingers to the top of your wrist. Grip each finger and give it a gentle side to side twist, rotating the knuckle joint.  Move your hand up and repeat with the second joint and top joint of each finger. Repeat these steps with your other hand. Starting with the tip of your thumb, use your thumb and index finger to squeeze and apply pressure in a gentle circular motion for 3 to 5 seconds. Work your way down your thumb two times, then repeat with your other fingers. Do the same for you other hand. For each area of your palm, you will move downwards, then back up, and then to the side and start down again. At each point, apply gentle, rotational pressure for 3-5 seconds.  Start on the soft padding under your fingers. Move on to the center of your palm. Work on the outer edge of your hand, starting under the little finger and continuing to the wrist. Massage the base of your hand, moving from your thumb to the outer edge of you hand. Finish by moving from left to right and back again across your wrist. Remember to apply much less pressure, as the back of your hand is very sensitive.  Starting at the knuckle at the base of your thumb, apply gentle, rotational pressure for 3 to 5 seconds. Work down to the wrist, then move sideways. Continue working from the knuckles to the wrist until you have covered the entire back of your hand. Apply gentle pressure...

Once you have your model boat kit, you'll want to open it up and examine its contents.  You should have all the parts and instructions necessary to assemble your boat.  However, you'll want to make sure you actually have everything.  Laying the pieces out can be a good way to notice if anything is missing or damaged.  Make sure all the parts are accounted for. Make sure none of the parts are damaged. Find your instructions manual and review it. You may need additional tools or materials.  Check your instructions to see if you need to buy anything else before getting started. A very important part of assembling your model boat will be to make sure the planks lay evenly over the bulkheads.  If the planks aren't able to touch each bulkhead and lay flat, your boat may not be correctly assembled.  Use these steps to see how flat the planks will fit across the bulkheads, ensuring that your model boat will be assembled correctly:  Place a plank over the bulkheads. If there is a space where the plank doesn't touch a bulkhead, sand the bulkheads down until the plank rests flatly against each bulkhead. Take your time and make sure each plank will lay flatly against the bulkheads. Make sure to test both sides of the bulkheads. If you sand one area down too much, you can add tiny slivers of wood later on to level off the plank. Once you are sure the planks will lay flatly against the bulkheads, you can begin affixing them.  Adding planks will create the hull of your model boat.  The first plank you place will determine how each other plank is affixed, so take your time and apply it properly, according to your model's instructions.  You will likely place the first plank at deck level. Planks run the length of the boat, from fore to aft. Each plank will be glued to the bulkheads that it is meant to touch. Check your model's instructions to learn where you should place your first plank. Add planks in pairs to ensure they are even and level with one another.  Your first planks should mirror images of one another. Soaking...

TL;DR in English: Open the box and lay out your parts. Level the bulkhead frames. Add the first planks. Sand the hull.

Once you've had your first meeting, make sure to maintain regular communication with your members. Offer regular updates on meeting times, as well as synopses of the meetings. You'll also need to provide updates as new information becomes available. It's important that your personal agenda (such as advancing in the company) doesn't come before the committee. That means that you place more importance on the committee succeeding in its goals than on you succeeding in your own goals. One of the key points of encouraging creativity is that you build up members rather than tear them down. If you are constantly berating members in front of the group for their ideas, they will soon stop volunteering ideas. Therefore, it's important to make the committee a place where you are accepting of new thoughts and ideas, even if they seem strange at first. As old members go off the committee, you'll need to recruit more members. As you do, make sure you provide them with an appropriate orientation that covers the rules and focus of the group, just as you did when you started with the committee. Help the new person to figure out how she or he can engage with the committee. Many times, members do not need to be on a committee, and they are volunteering to do so. Keep that in mind as you run your committee, and offer your thanks in writing and in person for what they do to make your committee a success.

TL;DR in English: Communicate often. Put the committee above your personal agenda. Encourage creativity. Gain new members. Don't forget to be thankful.

You may want to start by asserting your needs with people who you consider to be more understanding to help you get used to it. This will give you a chance to deal with people’s reactions in small doses, and then you can start branching out.  For example, you may want to start by asserting your needs to close friends or family members before asserting your needs to coworkers, acquaintances, or people you don’t usually get along with. Let people know what you’d like and need. You can’t demand people to treat you differently, so make requests and ask that they respect your changes. There are specific people you should speak to, especially regarding big changes. For example, go to your employer and let them know any changes you need in the office. You might need a new name placard or to send out an email letting your coworkers know to refer to you differently. When speaking to friends and family, be clear in stating what you need from them. For example, you might say, “I would like to be referred to as “he” and “him” now.”  When dealing with professional changes, be succinct and don’t feel the need to go into detail. Say, “I’ve made some changes and I want these changes to be reflected at work.” With friends and family, you can choose how much to disclose based on what you feel comfortable sharing. You may choose to share your process or just let them know your needs. Making a name change is a big deal. If you change your name to something you feel fits you better, begin introducing yourself with your new name. If people struggle in calling you by your chosen name, gently remind them that you’ve changed it. It can take time for people to adjust to calling you something different. Be patient, but don’t be afraid to correct them.  Say, “I’d appreciate it you call me Danny now” or, “Please change your address book to show my chosen name.” If someone refuses to call you by your chosen name, you might not be able to change their mind. Let them know how you feel about it. You might want to pull back from that...

TL;DR in English: Start small. Make requests. Ask people to respect your name. Request confidentiality. Explain how comments hurt you.

Cravings can be difficult to manage, especially during the first and second trimester.  If you catch yourself having sweet cravings on a regular basis, find healthy swaps to help you limit your overall sugar consumption.  Find some healthy swaps to help keep your diet more nutritious and moderate in calories.  Eating a higher calorie sweet treat on a regular or daily basis may be too many calories for you.  This could cause you to gain too much weight during your pregnancy. Go for fruit.  If you're craving something sweet after a meal, try settling that craving with a sweet piece of fruit.  Make sure to choose ripe fruit that has a sweet flavor.  Try:  bananas, pineapple, mango, peaches or berries. Have a cup of tea.  Another trick to satisfy a sweet craving is by having a cup of hot tea.  Pick a flavorful brand with natural sweetness - like orange cinnamon or chai - and add a drop or two of honey or agave syrup. Have some yogurt.  Stock up on some of your favorite yogurt flavors.  These are naturally sweet and with some added fruit, this can really satisfy your sweet tooth. Another way to manage your sweet cravings is by adding something sweet to your meals.  Tasting sweets during your meal can help decrease the desire to end your meal with a treat.  Try:  Adding sliced fruit or dried fruit on a salad.  Fruit pairs well with many lettuces and dressings and can add a sweet bite to your fresh salads. End your lunch with a piece of fruit.  Pack a piece of fruit with your lunch and eat this last.  Whether its a few grapes, a sliced apple or a fruit cup, ending your meal by eating your serving of fruit last leaves the sweet flavor in your mouth. Although pregnancy cravings are common, they are not a sign that you need any nutrients or specific foods.  Work on moving past and ignoring some of your cravings so that you can stick to your definition of moderation.  If you're having a very strong craving and can't move past it, indulge yourself.  However, if it's not an overly strong craving or you know you just had a...

TL;DR in English: Make a healthy sweet swap. Add some sweetness to your meals. Distract yourself. Minimize the sweets in your house.

Stress can worsen the symptoms of a leaky gut, causing more pain and discomfort. While you heal, try to cut out any unnecessary sources of stress. Take some time each day to practice relaxation techniques, like meditation, yoga, or tai chi. If something starts to overwhelm you, try deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation. Smoking can contribute to many disorders that irritate the gut, such as IBS and Crohn’s disease, so quitting may also be able to help you heal your leaky gut. Talk to your doctor about quitting smoking. They may be able to help you wean off cigarettes with nicotine patches or coach you through quitting cold turkey.

TL;DR in English: Reduce stress in your life. Quit smoking.

Keep in mind that the prey will start off with fewer people. You can decide how you want to do this. (e.g. 2vs3 2vs4 4vs6 and so on.)     Know that teams can be equal if you prefer. The prey then goes out into the paintball playing area.     Set up where they want; and hide wherever, and however they want. (Under leaves, grass, in a bunker, etc..)  If a predator is shot, they are out of the game. If a prey is shot, they become part of the predators team.

A fake fight scene requires real coordination. To make a convincing fight scene you need actors that can fight convincingly. Whether you're filming a one-on-one duel or a big brawl, you want actors who can carry themselves with fluidity and coordination.  If your actors aren't comfortable moving a lot, you can still give them smaller parts in the fight. It will make your job much harder, however. Fake fighting is closer to dancing than actual brawling, and requires a similar level of coordination and athleticism. Do you want a blazing fast kung-fu battle or a slow, intense brawl? Will the fight be one-sided or will the combatants be evenly matched? Maybe one character is getting beaten up badly, but comes behind at the very end to win. Whatever your film, figure out the feel and progression of the fight before you start choreographing it.  How does each fighter behave? A noble warrior, for example, will fight very differently from a scoundrel pirate. Do you want gritty, realistic violence or something more fun and cartoonish? How serious is this fight? If you're not making the movie alone, show your cast and crew fight scenes from 3-4 movies you want your scene to look like. This helps everyone get on the same page. This is non-negotiable -- any closer and you risk real injury, any further and the hit will look unconvincing. Say Kim needs to kick at Ron's head. There are two ways to play it. First, Kim can kick in front of Ron's face, arching her foot in front of his nose. Second, she can kick past his head, flying past his ear. A third method is to let Ron dodge the blow, which is much easier to shoot than fake contact because you don't need to "cheat" the impact of the kick. If Kim is throwing that kick Ron needs to realistically get hit by it. As the kick passes his head, Ron should launch himself in the same direction, mimicking the contact. Take it at 50% speed at first so that both actors know exactly what is happening and where they need to go, then slowly ratchet up the speed with each rehearsal. Let...

TL;DR in English: Find physical, athletic actors to work with. Decide on the tone and arc of the fight. Keep all punches and kicks 6–8 inches (15.2–20.3 cm) away from the actors. Coordinate the reaction to each hit to time it up with the action. Let the person getting hit dictate any actual movement. Purchase safe, movie-specific props. Practice each action individually before stringing it all together. Add flourishes and details once the main actions are perfected.

Your child’s extreme behavior might be a wake-up call for you that they need help or intervention. Therapy can help your child build skills and create positive behaviors. Your child might learn mindfulness skills which can help them make better decisions and cope with stress in more effective ways.  Therapy shouldn’t feel like a punishment to your child or a consequence for their bad behavior. Find a therapist by calling your insurance provider or local mental health clinic. You can also obtain a recommendation from a physician or loved one. You may also consider family therapy. This can help your whole family develop positive coping skills to move forward from what happened, and it can also help your family to adjust to the changes that your child’s expulsion may bring. If you have multiple children in your family, then family therapy may also help your child’s siblings process their feelings and cope with the changes after your other child was expelled. This is where your role as a parent comes in, especially if the problems at school were behavioral. Think about what specific problems your child has and how you can help them. Does your child disrespect authority, bully others, or do dangerous activities? Find ways to work on these at home, like with their siblings. While you should be firm with your child, also show empathy and understanding to them. Be calm in your interactions and connect on an emotional level. For example, if your child bullied kids at school and was expelled, watch how they interact with their friends or siblings and don’t be afraid to correct bad behavior. Say, “You can’t talk to your sister that way. Try again.” Let your child know when their behavior is inappropriate and that they need to make some changes. It might be helpful for you to enforce some new rules in your home or enforce consequences in a different way if what you’ve been doing hasn’t been working. Focus on consequences over punishments so that your child can learn from the experience.  Make sure your child knows the...

TL;DR in English: Get therapy for your child. Work on behaviors at home. Enforce your house rules. Attend a parenting class. Consider residential treatment. Look into mentoring programs for your child.

Talk about a book, movie, TV show, or current event that is related to sexuality. Share your LGBTQ+ positive thoughts on the topic. Then, listen as they share their thoughts. You might say, “I really enjoyed Taylor Swift’s new video for ‘You Need to Calm Down!’ It made me wear my rainbow bracelet today. What did you think?” If you’re out of the closet, let them know that you’re proud of your sexual identity. If you’re an ally, tell them that you support the community. Then, see how they respond. Say, “I came out to my family last year, and it was so hard! But it’s so great to be able to share my truth with everyone, and I’m proud of who I am,” or “I think it’s important for everyone to feel accepted, so I’m an ally for the LGBTQ+ community. If we all work together, we can create real change.” If the person seems excited to talk about LGBTQ+ issues, they likely won’t be offended if you ask if they’re gay. Be direct and to the point when you ask. Then, be respectful of their response, even if they decline to answer. Say, “Have you ever questioned your sexuality?” or “Do you identify as gay?” It’s important to remember that it’s not really your business if someone is gay or not. If they don’t want to share with you, just let it go. Similarly, keep it to yourself if they confide that they are gay. Let them decide who knows and who doesn’t.  Don’t pressure someone to share if they aren’t ready. If someone asks you if the person is gay, say, “If you’re wondering about their sexuality, why don’t you ask them?” While you might be nervous about talking to them, it’s not okay to discuss their sexuality with other people. This is gossiping and may start rumors that aren’t true. Don’t talk to anyone else about this person’s sexuality. For instance, don’t ask, “Do you think that Todd is gay?”

TL;DR in English: Bring up the topic of sexuality to start the conversation. Express your support for the LGBTQ+ community. Ask them directly if they are gay if they seem open to talking about it. Let the person come out on their own terms. Avoid asking other people about the person’s sexuality.

Put a pan on your stove top and bring up the temperature of it.  Add some cooking oil at this stage.  Heat until the oil sizzles. Use a cast iron pan for best results. Dry roast them for about 1 minute.  Stir them occasionally to prevent them from sticking to your pan and to roast them evenly.  Thicker noodles will take longer to cook. Thin noodles will cook quickly.  Take care not to overcook them. Roast the noodles until they are dried.  Stir them and listen for a squeaking noise.  Take them away from heat when they make this noise or are cooked to your preference. Dry roasting will help remove any rubbery texture the Shirataki noodles might have.

TL;DR in English: Heat up a pan. Add the noodles to the hot pan. Remove noodles when dry.

You’ll need a small shovel or a trowel. Create a planting hole that is 30 by 3 centimeters (11 by 1 inches). When the seedlings are around 1 month old, you’ll need to transplant them. Use your trowel to loosen the soil around the edges of the planting tray. Put your fingers along the sides of the tray and pull up the sandalwood seedling. Holding it by the root ball, gently place it in the planting hole.  It is best to transplant the seedling in the morning before it gets too hot.  Ensure that the space between the seedling and the planting hole is completely filled up with soil, since you want to avoid any potential waterlogging. Space the sandalwood plants between 2.5 and 4 meters (8 and 13 feet) apart.  Avoid planting sandalwood in protected forest areas. In India, the best time to transplant sandalwood is between May and October. You’ll need to plant the sandalwood seedlings within 1 meter (3.3 feet) of the host plants. Unless the tree fixes onto the host species within the first 2 years, it will die. The host plants should be at least 1 meter (3.3 feet) tall prior to direct sowing of sandalwood. You’ll need to remove any weeds that are competing for moisture around the sandalwood tree, especially during the first year. You should also make sure the host species does not take too much light away from the young sandalwood tree. If the host tree starts to grow above the sandalwood, tip the host species to the side or prune it. Remove any weeds that climb up the sandalwood.

TL;DR in English: Dig a hole for the sandalwood seedling. Put the sandalwood seedling into the ground. Plant the sandalwood seedlings close to the host plants. Weed thoroughly during the first year.

The only time you should wash under the hood is when the engine is cold. This means that you need to wait a substantial time after running the engine and washing under the hood. If you wash it when the engine is hot, you run the risk of damaging your engine as cold water may cause hot or warm parts to shatter or be damaged.  The best time to wash under the hood is in the morning after your engine has cooled all night. Some experts suggest that it is okay to clean the engine while it is slightly warm. They note that this can help in the process of removing dirt and gunk. However, it is best to exercise caution and may be best to wait until the engine is cold. Never wash under the hood immediately after you’ve been driving the car. Before washing under the hood, you need to make sure that you cover or protect a number of parts that might be damaged by water. This is best done by securing vulnerable components with plastic bags and plastic tape.  Cover or protect the engine’s air intake. Cover or protect the alternator. Protect any electronics, electrical connections, relays, or sensors. Cover or protect the distributor cap. It is easy for water to get under the cap. Make sure to cover it with plastic and secure the plastic with tape. If you get water under the cap, you can spray WD-40 to help dissipate the water. If this does not work, you may need to replace the cap and rotor. If you have doubts about the damage water may do to a certain part of your engine, cover it. The next step is to take out any filters that could be damaged or ruined. This is important since filters are extremely vulnerable to water and are places where water could accumulate and potentially harm the engine or other parts.  The most likely filter you'll have to remove is the engine air intake filter. Rarely, if it is exposed in the engine compartment, you may need to remove the cabin air filter, too. Make sure to cover any filter intakes with plastic, just as you did with sensitive electronics and other areas. Store the filters in a dry...

TL;DR in English: Make sure the engine is cold. Cover the vulnerable parts of the engine. Take the filters out of the engine compartment. Remove the battery cables. Gather your supplies.
