Is the purpose to explain why you've joined a class about metal working? Is the purpose to introduce your place and history with your company to a work seminar? Before you write a single thing down, you should have a clear idea about what this speech is meant to accomplish. Write down the purpose of your speech at the top of the page. If the speech is a general introduction of yourself, include things like where you're from, how you ended up here in this group, what your passions and interests are, and what you hope to get out of this event or group. If this is a work-related speech, it would be wise to include things like your own qualifications and important skills, things that bolster your credibility and reason for being there. Ultimately it's up to you to decide what topics and ideas should make up your speech.  One method for brainstorming is to create a mind map. You can do this with a paper and pencil, starting by writing your central idea or theme in the middle of the page. Then use lines to connect ideas and points that branch off from this central idea. For a speech about yourself, you might start with a central bubble labeled "Me". Then you might have three or four bubbles connected to the central one that say things like "Interests", "Aspirations", etcetera. Then as you continue branching out the bubbles will get more specific.  There are other methods for brainstorming you might find useful. You could try the alphabet method, where you list a few things related to the subject of your speech for each letter, starting with A and working down. Another brainstorming method is the three perspectives method. You think about the subject of the speech in three perspectives. First, describe the subject, which is yourself in this case. Then, trace it. Trace your history, where you came from and where you've come to, and how you've changed over that journey. Finally, map it. Think about who and what has influenced you and how. How do you fit into the bigger picture. First, determine who your audience is....

TL;DR in English: Clarify the purpose of your speech. Brainstorm on what important things you want to include. Tailor your content to your audience and purpose.

The quickest way to add a folder to your search index is to add it to a "Library", which is a collection of locations on your computer devoted to a similar topic. All libraries are automatically indexed by Windows Search. Any folders currently in your libraries, such as folders in your Documents or Music directories, are already indexed. Open an Explorer window and find the folder that you want to add. You can select multiple folders in one location before right-clicking if you want to add them all at the same time. Select the library that most accurately describes what you are adding, or select "Create new library" to create a custom library. Your libraries will be automatically indexed for quick searches. You can't include folders from CDs or DVDs, as well as some USB drives. Many USB drives will allow you to include folders on them in the library. If you no longer need a folder included in the index, right-click on it and select "Remove location from library". You can only do this for folders that you manually added to a library. To remove default libraries from the index, see the next section. Windows search will eventually search everything on your computer, so there's no need to add every folder on your computer to the index. All this will do is slow down all of your searches. Limit your index to just the most essential folders for the quickest searches.

TL;DR in English: Understand the process. Find the folder you want to add to the index. Right-click on the folder. Select "Include in library" and then select a library. Remove folders from libraries to remove them from the index. Avoid adding folders you don't actually need to search often.

As a shy person, she might not trust you immediately. Over time, you’ll have to prove yourself. Keep all promises you make to her. If she makes a social faux pas, don’t blab it to your friends. You could also tell her something you’ve only shared with one or two other people. You’ll know you’re making progress when she starts sharing what’s important to her. Tell her yourself, as opposed to having a friend tell her for you. Stay calm and relaxed. Profess your feelings naturally and casually. When there’s a lull in the conversation, say something like, “I really enjoy talking to you and being with you. Would you be interested in taking our friendship to the next level?”  Don’t hide behind a phone or computer screen. Tell her in person. Break the news to her when you’re alone to prevent her from feeling embarrassed. Avoid complimenting her appearance in the beginning. She might think you're being sarcastic. Get to know her before you ask her out. When you do ask her out, work it into the conversation. Start talking about a new movie you want to see, an event happening over the weekend, or a local place you’ve been wanting to visit. Try questions like:  “Speaking of that new Mediterranean restaurant, I’ve been meaning to go but never got the chance. How about going with me Friday night?” “That guy’s a riot! You know, I have an extra ticket to his stand-up act this weekend, if you’d like to come along.” Start with slight actions. For example, you could touch her hand when she borrows your pencil. If she reacts positively, continue. If she doesn't, back off, at least for the time being. The worst thing you can do is try to pressure a shy person into something that makes them feel uncomfortable.

TL;DR in English: Earn her trust. Let her know you like her. Ask her out when it feels right. Practice caution with physical contact.

Playing with other vaccinated dogs is a normal part of your dog's puppyhood. And just like your own childhood, this is a time for exploration and learning lessons. Regular play with other well-mannered dogs, who don't need to act to teach bite inhibition, will encourage her to play nicely around other dogs and you. Consider enrolling your puppy in a puppy training class, where your dog can learn essential skills while having fun. Take out a toy or bone and let her bite on it. This will teach her that her teeth belong on a toy or bone instead of on your skin. Playing rough with your hands is plenty fun, but it might be giving your puppy the wrong idea. Encourage other forms of play that don't involve your puppy nipping at your fingers, hands, ankles, and toes.  Learn how to play fetch with your dog. Stick to the same rules every time you play. Learn how to play tug-of-war with your dog. Stick to the same rules to encourage your puppy to stop mouthing if she gets close to your hands. Provide plenty of interesting and new toys so that you keep your dog engaged. A bored dog is a lot more likely to seek attention from you by biting. Cycle out your toys so that your dog is less likely to get bored. Before you start playing with your dog, spray a taste deterrent on areas of your body and clothes that you dog likes to play rough with. When your dog starts biting you, stop all movement and wait for her to react to the taste deterrent. Praise her and continue playing with her when she lets go.  Some options for taste deterrents include bitter apple, vapor rub, tea tree oil, or white vinegar.  Alternatively, you can spray breath freshener spray (such as Binaca) into the puppy’s mouth as both a taste and sound deterrent at the moment of a bite. Spray the taste deterrent on your body and clothes (if it is fabric-safe) for at least two weeks. After two weeks, your puppy will likely have developed a strong distaste for your hands and ankles. A well-exercised puppy (exercised to the point of being tired) will not be as rough...

TL;DR in English: Encourage your puppy to play with other friendly puppies and dogs. Substitute your puppy's favorite bone or chew toy for your skin whenever she bites you. Engage in other forms of play. Use a taste deterrent to keep your dog from biting. Make sure your puppy is getting plenty of exercise. Don't treat like with like. Don't discourage normal forms of play.

Because of the English bulldog's skin folds, especially those on the face and around the lips, will need to be carefully examined each day for signs of infection. Normal yeast found on the body will thrive and flourish in these dark, warm, and moist crevices. These should be gently washed and thoroughly dried at least every other day, more often in those dogs prone to infections. The English bulldog’s short hair coat will shed so a thorough brushing once a week with a soft bristled brush is recommended. While you’re grooming, keep an eye open for any fleas, ticks, or mites, along with any lumps, bumps, or cysts on the skin. These, along with any scabs, redness, or itchy skin, should be brought to your veterinarian’s attention. Brushing time is a good time to look at the nails and paws. The nails might need to be clipped. If you haven’t performed this before ask you veterinarian technician to demonstrate. The procedure needs to be done correctly so you don’t trim the “quick,” or the part of the nail where the blood vessels and nerves are. Once a dog has been “quicked,” or the quick has been cut, it will be hard to trim your puppy's nails, due to fear of pain and bleeding.

TL;DR in English: Clean your puppy regularly. Brush your puppy regularly. Inspect your puppy's feet regularly.

Scatter 2-4 inches of organic mulch in the form of wood chips, pine needles, or compost immediately after your clippings are planted. Mulch cools the soil, conserves water, and suppresses weeds, which is preferable in shaded plots and essential in sunny plots.  If you do not have a compost at home you can purchase mulch at your local plant nursery. Renew your mulch each year after planting. After planting, prune all clippings down to 4-6 buds above ground. This will encourage new vibrant and initial growth and the development of vigorous new stems, or canes, that will be able to last years.  Prune your plant each year in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth and healthy development. Consult pruning guides for instructions on how to prune your gooseberry plant as it becomes more established over the years. Insect and disease infestations are rare and uncommon. If they do present themselves it is unlikely that they will ruin your entire crop. However, they are important to look for in order to keep you gooseberry bush as healthy as possible and to not affect its future fruitings. The best way to prevent insect infestations and diseases is to keep a healthy plant by selecting good planting soil, adequate amounts of water, plenty of light, and consistently removing dead leaves and branches. Powdery mildew can present itself during hotter months, and is therefore less common in cooler climates. However, you can prevent powdery mildew by making sure your gooseberry bush is planted in a well ventilated area with plenty of light, which will inhibit the distribution of powdery mildew spores. Check with your local nursery about potential pesticides or sprays that can reduce the chances of contracting powdery mildew, or inquire about powdery mildew resistant strains. Dry and windy conditions are especially likely to cause water shortage in your soil. Even if your soil feels damp the roots of your gooseberry plant may be dry. Set up an irrigation system or set a daily routine of watering your plant to...

TL;DR in English: Scatter mulch. Prune your clippings. Look for insect and disease symptoms in late spring. Check for powdery mildew in mid-summer. Water during dry-spells. Know when to harvest.

To create a more professional sounding radio station than what you'll get with a basic streaming set up, you'll need software or apps. You'll need an app to play music or other audio, to turn your audio feed into an audio stream that can be broadcast, and one to act as your server. There are a lot of options for these types of apps and software, but the easiest to work with are Winamp (for playing audio files), Edcast (for turning your audio feed into a stream), and Icecast2 (for your server). To broadcast the audio from your computer over a server, you'll need to download a DLL – which stands for Dynamic Link Library – file. This type of file keeps all of your mp3 files in one place and allows the other software you need to load the mp3s one at a time. This frees up memory and storage space on your computer. For an online radio station, you'll want to download lame_enc.dll. Type the DLL name into your favorite search engine, followed by “download” and it should pop up.  This DLL will allow you to broadcast in mp3 formats, and is also compatible with older players you're your audience might use.  This DLL will download as a zipped version, so you'll have to open the zipped file to access the individual files you need. Because you're using Winamp to share your audio, you'll need to insert the DLL file into Winamp's root directory. This basically makes the audio files on Winamp accessible to the other software you need to broadcast your radio station. To do this, find Winamp in the program files on your computer. Open the Winamp program file (C:/Program Files/Winamp) and insert the DLL file where it asks for the source.

TL;DR in English: Choose software. Download an mp3 DLL file. Insert the DLL into the Winamp app's root directory.

Locate the row of holes on the frosting cap right behind the hairline and select a hole as your starting point. Hold the highlighting needle at an angle and keep the hook pointed upward as you insert it into the perforated hole. Gently push the highlighting needle until the hooked end is resting against the scalp.  It’s important to work from front to back so that you get even results, but if you start right at the hairline, your hair will look stripy when you wear it up. Be careful inserting the needle. Use a light touch and don’t go in vertically. Always hold the needle at an angle. Once the hooked end of the needle is resting against the scalp, angle it slightly to one side to pick up a tiny section of hair. This will happen easily, so you don’t need to dig down into the hair. The amount of hair your hook is up to you. The more hair you hook and pull out, the more dramatic the frosted highlights will be. Once you’ve hooked the hair, pull the highlighting needle away from your head to bring the hair through the perforation onto the outside of the cap. Be sure to pull the entire section of hair out of the hole so that it is neatly hanging outside of the cap. The hair should be exposed from root to tip. Take your time as you pull hair through the frosting cap to prevent tangles and snags. If you pull hair out of every hole, you’ll achieve very dramatic highlights. If you want more subtle highlights, follow a particular pattern, like skipping every other hole. Work systematically from the hairline back to the crown. Then, move to a new section at the hairline and keep pulling hair out using the same pattern.  Most frosting caps have circles or numbers close to the holes to make strategic placement easy. Use the guides to help you remain consistent. The amount of hair you pull out of each hole can vary, depending on the results you want. For example, if you want dramatic highlights around the face, pull larger sections of hair out around the hairline. After pulling the hair through the perforated holes, you...

TL;DR in English: Insert the highlighting needle into the first hole ½ inch behind the hairline. Hook a small amount of your hair with the end of the needle. Pull the hooked section of hair out through the hole in the cap. Continue pulling hair through the holes in a strategic way. Comb through the pulled-out strands of hair to get rid of any tangles.

Pour the water, salt, liquid smoke, garlic, and pickling spice into a large stockpot.  Make sure that the stockpot you use can fit inside of your refrigerator. You will need to store it there in a later step. Place the stockpot on the stove. Give the ingredients a quick stir with a large mixing spoon to combine well. Turn the burner onto high heat and cook the brine ingredients until they just begin to boil. At that point, the brine should be removed from the heat and cooled to room temperature. Most of the spices in the pickling mix should have had the chance to dissolve, and the same goes for the salt. Essentially, boiling the ingredients together blends the flavors more effectively. Place the brisket in the brine, cover, and refrigerate overnight.  Cover loosely with the stockpot's lid or with a sheet of plastic wrap or aluminum foil. The brisket should chill in the brine for at least 8 hours, if possible. For a stronger flavor and more tender pastrami, though, you could let it sit in the brine up to 3 days.

Accept your parents' plans without arguing. Remember the big picture. Work on bringing your grades up. Maintain communication with your parents.

Hold the closed Bible with one hand. Rest the spine on a table or counter. Throughout the entire process, you'll need to use one hand to hold the upright, closed portion of the Bible in place. You'll need to use your other hand to open and crease each section. Keep the pages closed while carefully releasing the front and back covers. Gently ease the covers open until they lie flat on the table. Instead of letting the covers drop quickly, it would be better to slowly open and lay them down using your free hand. Carefully open the first 50 to 100 pages of the Bible. Lay them out flat, then slowly run your fingers up and down the gutter of the top page, pressing into the binding as you move. This action gently stretches the stitching of the Bible binding, making the pages of the book more flexible, easier to turn, and easier to handle. As a result, the pages of the book are less likely to loosen or fall out when being handled. Open the back 50 to 100 pages of the Bible and let them lay flat on table. Gently yet firmly run your fingers up and down the gutter here, as well.  This back section should be just as thick as the front section was. By alternating between the front and back of the book, you can make sure that the stitches are stretched evenly in both directions. Continue opening and creasing sections of the Bible using the same technique. Alternate back and forth between front sections and back sections, repeating as often as necessary until the Bible is completely and evenly split open. Once the entire book lies open on the table, the “breaking in” process is complete.

TL;DR in English: Place the spine on a hard surface. Let the covers fall open. Crease open a section of pages at the front. Crease open a section at the back. Repeat through the remaining pages.

Illustrated field manuals can often be found in the outdoor activities section. These publications are the naturalist's time-honored method of solving the mysteries of botanical life. Within their pages you'll find detailed full-color images, scientific and common names, and details about the lifespan and reproductive habits of major plant species.  Plant identification handbooks are most often broken up by state or territory, making them even more accessible for amateur enthusiasts. A printed guide can provide answers instantly when you're in the field, or serve as a reliable reference when you need to look something up at home. Programs like PlantSnap and FlowerChecker make it possible for smartphone users to get a readout on unfamiliar plants in a pinch. Once you get the app loaded, it's as simple as photographing the plant in question and waiting for the results. The sophisticated software will dig through an extensive database of physical features to find the closest match.  Some apps like Plantifier and Leafsnap even include realtime support with qualified plant experts analyzing photos as they're submitted.  Due to the purely visual nature of their identification process, these apps aren't guaranteed to be accurate in all cases. Show your notes and any photos you've taken to a botanist, gardening specialist, or respected outdoorsman and see if they can help you discover the identity of a certain plant. People who have spent years studying plants can often pick them out by sight or description. By talking to them, you'll have an opportunity to absorb a little of what they know. Assuming you don't have anyone to turn to in your area, you can try taking your questions online to a message board for plant lovers. If you find yourself without any other options, try typing the plant's features into a search engine and selecting the “images” tab. You'll be shown an assortment of plants cataloged by the keywords you entered. When you find a photo that looks like the plant you're trying to identify, click on it...

TL;DR in English: Flip through a plant identification handbook at the library or bookstore. Download a plant identification app to stay ready in the field. Ask an expert to take advantage of their firsthand experience. Run a quick image search to sort through pictures by description. Use Google's Reverse Image Search feature to turn up related photos.

Rinse the grapefruit and cut away the peel or pull it off with your fingers. Place a bowl under the grapefruit and hold it with one hand. Then use a sharp knife to cut the segments away, leaving the bitter white pith behind. You'll use the juice that you catch in the bowl. This will help to blend the smoothie. Put the grapefruit segments with their juice into the blender and pour in 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of pomegranate juice. Add ¼ cup (71 g) of Greek yogurt, 2 cups (200 g) of blueberries or blackberries, and 5 chopped Medjool dates.  If you prefer, substitute your favorite type of yogurt. If you don't have Medjool dates, use figs, raisins, or prunes instead. Put the lid on the blender and turn it on to the blend setting. If you don't have a smoothie setting, use the blending button. Blend the ingredients until they're completely smooth and there aren't chunks of dates visible. If the smoothie sticks to the side of the blender, you may need to stop and scrape down the sides occasionally. Remove the lid and divide the smoothie between 2 serving glasses. To garnish the smoothies, sprinkle 1½ tablespoons (21 g) of chia seeds over them and top each with a sprig of fresh mint.  The chia seeds will add a slight crunch to the smoothies. Leave them out if you prefer. Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours.

TL;DR in English: Peel and segment 1 grapefruit. Place the grapefruit, juice, yogurt, berries, and dates into a blender. Blend the smoothie for 3 to 5 minutes. Pour the smoothies into glasses and garnish them.

Put a large tortilla on a plate and position your cooked burger and toppings in the center of the tortilla. You can top your burger with anything you like, such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, ketchup, mayo, or mustard.  For a Mexican style burger, try topping it with salsa, lettuce, hot sauce, cheddar cheese, and sour cream. For a fajita style burger, add grilled onions and peppers, guacamole, and lime.  Or, try making a Tex-Mex Style burger with refried beans, corn, salsa, jalapeno slices, and pepper jack cheese.  You can warm up the tortilla first by placing it in the microwave for 10 seconds, if desired.

Once your parents have decided how to proceed, do not argue. Arguing or complaining about your parents' plans will only make them angry. Even if you feel frustrated by new rules, accept them with maturity to avoid making your parents angrier. To keep your own emotions in check, remember why your parents are angry. Grades are important for your future. They can help you get into a good college and eventually get a good job. It can be stressful to deal with your parents' anger, but they want what's best for you. Immediately start trying harder to bring your grades up. This will prevent your parents from becoming angry in the future.   Pay attention during class by taking notes, avoiding electronics, and not sitting near friends.  Ask questions if anything confuses you and schedule a private meeting with your teacher.  Avoid procrastinating on your homework and study for tests and quizzes well in advance. Keep talking to your parents about school, even when things are going well. Let them know how you did on a quiz, any subjects you're struggling with, and other details of your academic life. Open communication helps your parents know when you may need help. This can prevent bad grades in the future.

TL;DR in English:


Set small goals. Move on to the next meat. Add in more vegetables. Allow yourself some less-healthy options. Make your own meatless options. Decide how far you want to go.

In small quantities, Marmite can give soups, stews, and other hearty liquid dishes a rich, savory flavor (and also works great as a browning agent). For instance, try mixing a spoonful of Marmite into a pot of French onion soup in place of beef stock — the flavor of the finished soup goes great with bread and cheese, just like ordinary Marmite. In general, you can usually get away with substituting Marmite mixed with water, your favorite vegetables, and a little oil for beef broth. This can allow you to make great-tasting vegetarian versions of all your favorite carnivorous soups and stews. Many Marmite fans agree: the spread pairs deliciously with a wide variety of cheeses. Sharp cheddar is an especially great choice — the salty, yeasty flavor of the Marmite enhances the "sharpness" of the cheese, making for a bold-flavored (but tasty) combination. Try adding a few slices of cheese to standard Marmite and butter toast for a satisfying breakfast. Though it may sound odd, Marmite can be a tasty ingredient to include in glazes and sauces for meat dishes. Used correctly, Marmite can give the outer "crust" of roasted meats, poultry, and seafood a rich, distinct "umami" (savory) flavor. Try painting a light mixture of melted butter and Marmite over a whole roasted chicken for a savory treat — you should only need a spoonful or two to cover it. If you use Marmite as a meat glaze, you may want to forego sprinkling salt from the salt shaker on your meat, especially if you need to be careful about your sodium intake. Marmite has a very high salt content — it's more than 10% salt by mass! Believe it or not, some people not only eat their spaghetti with Marmite — they love it. If you're willing to experiment, try adding a half teaspoon of Marmite to al dente noodles along with a small helping of olive oil! You may want to avoid using fine tomato sauces or cheeses to top your dish until you're positive that you enjoy it! Note that some fans of this recipe describe the flavor as being similar to the British snack food "Twiglets".

TL;DR in English: Add Marmite to soups and stews for savory flavor. Pair Marmite with cheeses. Use Marmite as a glaze for roast meats. Use Marmite sparingly on spaghetti.

Feed can be one of the most expensive supplies for running a chicken farm, but it is also the most essential element. Good high quality feed can ensure your chickens are healthy and their products taste good. While you may be tempted to allow your chickens to forage in pasture to reduce your feed costs, this will likely lead to a coop of hungry chickens and less eggs produced. Instead, buy enough feed in bulk to last you two months. This will allow you to save money and ensure you do not run out of feed for your chickens. Most backyard chicken farms start with a flock of baby chicks, so it is important that you give the chicks the right amount of nutrients and care so they grow into full, healthy chickens. Look for chick starter feed at your local farm supply store. Chick starter feed usually comes in a mash or crumble form and contains a protein content of 18-24%, which helps the chicks to gain muscle and weight.  Give the chicks just starter feed once a day for the first two days, then introduce chick grit into their feeders on the third day. This will help them digest their food better. You can give them grit until they reach maturity and switch to oyster shell once they start to lay eggs. All chick breeds will consume around three pounds of starter feed during the first three weeks in the coop. You should make sure the water troughs are not too deep in the coop, as the chicks can drown in them. They should be shallow and cleaned daily. Have about a one gallon-sized waterer for every hundred chicks. If you have pullets, you can use one waterer for every six to eight birds. Chicks will need a red brooder lamp on at all times in the coop and no drafts or cold areas to grow properly. The temperature of the coop should be around 92 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the chicks start to feather out, you can reduce the temperature in the coop by five degrees per week until they are six weeks old. Make sure the chicks are close to water and food in the coop. You can do this by spreading four inches of pine shavings on the...

TL;DR in English: Buy feed in bulk. Give young chicks starter feed. Use a brooder lamp to keep the coop warm. Ensure there is enough room in the coop to prevent picking. Switch to grower mash feed once the chicks start to feather out, at about six weeks. Collect eggs once to twice a day.

Some apartment complexes clean their residents' windows for a monthly fee. If your windows are too high for you to clean from the outside and you do not want to clean them yourselves, talk to your building manager about whether they offer this service. In some situations, removing the window panels or using long-handled cleaning supplies may be uncomfortable or impossible. If your windows are high enough to reach with an extension ladder, you may be able to reach them from the outside. If you decide to use a ladder, take safety precautions to avoid accidents or serious injuries. Professional window cleaners can reach your outside panels in situations where it would be inconvenient or dangerous for you to do so. Research window cleaning services in your area and contact 2 or 3 for quotes on how much their services cost.

TL;DR in English: Ask your building manager if they offer cleaning services for a fee. Clean the windows from outside with a ladder. Hire a window cleaning service if you cannot safely clean your windows.

You might be overwhelmed with a variety of emotions after hearing the news: shock, confusion, and anger among others. Don't do anything rash. Count to 10, do  deep breathing, or go to a restroom and splash water on your face. Just taking a few minutes to yourself can help you regain your composure and approach the issue with a clear head. You're likely flooded with questions and accusations, but none of them will actually benefit the situation right now. Bite your tongue and hold back any retorts. Focus on problem-solving right now. Even though this news is a blow for you, it's most certainly upsetting for your daughter. Spend a few moments in her shoes, pretending you were in her situation. How would you want your parent to react?    Show her empathy and remind her that you love and care for her. You might also say, “I can imagine that this may be very upsetting for you. What do you need from me?” When you get some alone time, attend to your own feelings. Cry, shout, or vent aloud in privacy. Try to name the feelings that arise.  For example, you might say, “Right now, I'm feeling scared because I don't know how this will affect her college education.” Don't feel guilty about the feelings that come up. Just name them and experience them without judgment. . You may be tempted to want to numb your feelings, but try to work through them in healthy ways. Book a massage at a local spa, attend a class at your gym, or listen to your favorite album. Self-care helps you manage your stress so that you can adequately provide support and guidance to your daughter.

TL;DR in English: Try to remain calm. Resist blaming or insulting. Imagine being in her shoes. Allow yourself to feel your emotions when you're alone.  Practice self-care

If you'd like your sand dollars to be whiter, or you're having trouble cleaning them with water alone, you may consider using bleach. Mix equal amounts of bleach and water. and gently place your sand dollars into the solution.  If you're cleaning a number of sand dollars, fill a baking tray with the bleach-and-water solution. This will allow you to spread a number of sand dollars evenly over a broad surface. Make sure that there's enough solution in the tray to cover the entire sand dollar. You can also use a bowl, a bucket, or a Tupperware container. If you're only cleaning one sand dollar, find a small bowl, lid, or other container. You won't need much bleach to get the intended effect. Be careful not to soak the sand dollars in bleach for too long: the shell will begin to soften and disintegrate if it's left in too strong of a solution. If you want to soak the shells for a longer period, reduce the bleach concentration. Be careful when handling bleach. Don't get bleach in your eyes, and don't swallow the solution. Wash your hands with soap after any contact with bleach. Move the sand dollars from the bleach solution into a bowl or tray of fresh water.  The bleach may continue to disintegrate the shell even after you've removed the sand dollar from the solution. Rinse the bleached shell thoroughly in fresh water to neutralize the bleach solution and remove any remaining dirt. When you're sure that the sand dollar is clean, leave it out to dry. Within a few hours it should be ready to decorate, display, or store as a keepsake. Sand dollars will harden over time, but you should continue to handle them carefully. This may come in handy if you plan to use if for craft projects, or if you want to display it without worrying about breaking it.  Mix together equal portions of water and white craft glue. Use a sponge brush or a paintbrush to completely cover the sand dollar with the mixture. Let the shell dry, and the glue solution will harden like a glaze. Sand dollars will harden naturally, over time, the drier...

TL;DR in English: Soak the sand dollars in a bleach solution. Rinse after bleaching. Consider hardening the sand dollar with glue.

Don't try to go completely meatless right away. While that works for some people, it can make the transition much harder for you than if you do it in smaller steps.  For instance, you could say that you're giving up beef for the next 10 days while still eating poultry and/or fish. Alternatively, you could pick what meat you like the least to cut out first. Once you've cut out one meat, move on to the next meat. For instance, once you've cut out red meat, set a timeline for pork.  Don't beat up on yourself if you mess up and eat the meat you're cutting out. It's a process you need to adjust to gradually. You can satisfy a craving, then move on. Over time, eliminate all of the meats you want to give up. As you cut out meat, make sure you're adding in more vegetables to your diet. You should also be adding in plant-based proteins, such as beans and other legumes and whole grains.  It's good to try some new vegetables right now. You may have been fairly predictable in your vegetable choices before going vegetarian, but adding in new vegetables will keep it more interesting. Try to eat vegetables instead of extra carbohydrates such as pasta or rice. While both will fill you up, if you're trying to be healthier, the vegetables are the better option. When you're transitioning, you may want to give into cravings for some less-healthy options. Maybe your craving is sugar or maybe you've got a thing for chips. While you don't want to make these foods a staple of your diet, letting yourself eat a few while you're transitioning can make it easier.  Another way to help deal with cravings is to add umami to your food. Umami is a Japanese word that describes a fifth type of taste in addition to sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. It describes a savoriness that you often find in meats, but that you can also add to your vegetarian diet. For instance, using fermented condiments, such as soy sauce, liquid aminos, or vegan Worcestershire sauce, can help add umami to your food. Other options are dried mushrooms and tomatoes,...

Studies have shown that positive thinking helps with stress management which comes with many health benefits, including generally being in a better mood. If you tend to focus on the negative in life, work to create a more positive outlook and you will be a happier person. One helpful practice can be to make regular lists of good things that happen to you or things that you are grateful for. After a while, you will start to notice these aspects of life more and eventually thinking positively will become second nature to you. . Regardless of when or how long you meditate for, regular meditation can help a great deal in improving your mood. Many people are intimidated by meditation, but carving out just five to ten minutes each day to sit and focus on your breath can have a powerful impact on your mood, not only helping you sleep better but also improving your everyday mood. Many people sleep poorly or wake up in a bad mood because there’s an underlying problem that they haven’t addressed. Resolving these issues in your life, whether they are work or family problems, will help you sleep better and wake up looking forward to the day, rather than dreading it. Resolving problems also helps reduce anxiety. Studies have shown that, regardless of how you feel, just the physical act of smiling releases dopamine and serotonin in the brain which makes you happier. So try even faking a smile until you do feel better. There are many benefits to exercise, including improved physical health and steady release of endorphins, but a study has also shown that people who exercise have better sleep quality, fall asleep more easily, and report being less tired during the day.  You don’t have to exercise a great deal to see these benefits. In one study, participants exercised at least two and a half hours a week to get the benefits of better sleep. There are many kinds of exercise that you can do to achieve this. Sports, dance, even brisk walking are all great options so find a physical activity that you genuinely enjoy doing and...

TL;DR in English: Practice positivity. Meditate Deal with problems. Start the day with a smile. Exercise. Keep flowers in the house.

Consider visiting gun stores to find used boxes. This will save you the hassle of cobbling together your own boxes and risk having it rejected by the shipper. Choose over-sized boxes to prevent your package from being stolen en-route. If you’re shipping via UPS, use a new corrugated cardboard box that meets the Single Wall Box Strength Guidelines. Use bubble wrap or other high-quality padding. Contact the carrier you plan to use. Ask a staff member to recommend packing material appropriate for a firearm. Ask your local gun store if they wouldn’t mind parting with their used packing material. Avoid wadded up newspaper, plastic wrap, or baby diapers. These won’t cut it. If the firearm is damaged in shipping, claims against the carrier may be denied if your packaging was substandard. Ship it separately. Federal law prohibits the shipping of ammunition with firearms. Pack it securely in separate boxes or metal clips that fit snugly within the main package. Make sure the ammo containers can’t be opened in transit. Clearly label the package as containing ammunition. Visit UPS.com, FedEx.com, or USPS.gov to print the required ORM-D label or black and white diamond to designate your package as explosive. You must bring packages with ammunition directly to a staffed carrier location. Don’t deposit them in public mailboxes or drop boxes. Avoid writing “Firearm” or other references to the specific contents of the package. This ban includes preprinted areas on your box, your business return address, and the shipping address.  If words like “gun,” “firearm,” or “boom-stick” are on anything, take them off. Insert a photocopy of your state-issued photo ID into the package if you are shipping to an FFL holder. They are required to keep a record of who shipped the firearm. It’s also an appreciated courtesy to include your driver’s license details. Take your box directly to a staffed post office or commercial carrier. Don’t leave your package in a public mailbox or drop box. If you’re an FFL holder shipping out of state, print...

In order to find the total amount you will pay over the course of the time you pay back a loan, you will have to work through the article in stages. Let’s look at an example article: ”You borrow 5,000 from a bank and plan to repay the loan principal, plus and accumulated interest in five years. The rate of the interest is 10%. How much will you pay, in total, at the end of the five years? Once you have read through the article, create an equation based on the standard equation F = P(1 + i)^N. For our question, our equation would be: F = 5000(1 + 0.1)^5. When you have written out your equation, start to solve your problem. The first step towards doing this is to solve the equation within the parentheses first. For our equation: Solve (1 + 0.1) = 1.1. So now our equation looks like this: F = 5000(1.1)^5. Once you have simplified the information in the parentheses, you should move onto applying the years (N) of the equation. This means raising the number inside the parentheses to the Nth degree. For our equation: (1.1)^5 means multiplying 1.1 to itself five times. In this case, (1.1)^5 = 1.61051. You should now only have one step left in the process of solving your equation. To finish the equation and find F, or the total amount paid, you will have to multiply P with the number in the parentheses. For our equation: F = 5000(1.61051) therefore, F = $8,052.55. That means that you would have paid $8,052.55 over the course of the five years.

Pick a manual transmission car to make drifting easier. Choose a car with rear-wheel drive for more effective drifting. Drive on worn-out tires for an easier time starting a drift.

Avoid using commercial products that have anti-limescale ingredients since they could leave the enamel looking dull. Instead, remove the chalky buildup by mixing together equal parts of white vinegar and water. Dip a soft cloth into the diluted vinegar and rub it on the limescale until it dissolves. Rinse the area and dry it immediately. Avoid rubbing the diluted vinegar over other parts of the tub that don't have limescale since this could damage it. For most stains, mix together 1/2 cup (120 ml) of chlorine bleach and 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of water. Dip a cloth in the solution and rub it over the stain. You can also spray the solution directly on the stain. Let the bleach solution sit for 1 to 2 minutes and then rinse it off. Dry the tub once the stain is removed. Do not apply bleach right after you apply vinegar, as they will form a noxious gas if they mix. When you need to use both vinegar and bleach, make sure you thoroughly rinse away the vinegar before you apply the bleach, and vice versa. If you have tougher stains that don't disappear after using the bleach solution, make a gentle cleaning paste. Mix together 1 part hydrogen peroxide with 2 parts cream of tartar. Spread this paste over the stains and let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Use a soft cloth to wipe away the paste and then rinse the area. Dry it if the stains are gone.  As an alternative, you can use baking soda and vinegar to remove tough stains. Sprinkle the baking soda over the stain, then spray vinegar onto the baking soda. The vinegar and baking soda will react to each other, creating a foam. Let the foam sit for 5-10 minutes, then scrub it away with a clean cloth. If the stains aren't gone, you can repeat the treatment until they disappear. Slice a fresh lemon in half and rub it directly onto rust stains. Keep rubbing the lemon until you see the stains lift and disappear. Rinse the tub and dry it immediately. Some people may recommend dipping the lemon in salt before scrubbing it over the stain, but the salt could scratch or damage...

TL;DR in English: Dissolve limescale buildup with equal parts vinegar and water. Apply diluted chlorine bleach to stains. Soak stains with a paste of hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar. Rub a sliced lemon over rust stains.

If you can develop a good relationship with someone who puts in the work and takes solid, readable notes during class, then you don’t need to do that work yourself. Before a big test, ask your friend if you can photocopy their notes, and study from those. To keep your friend from feeling like you’re taking advantage of them, you can alternate days on which you take notes. You take notes one day while your friend relaxes, and switch the next day. While that doesn’t sound like a way to get by without working too hard, it actually is. If your teacher gives you a study guide for a test, and you decide to split up the work with three of your classmates, then you only have to do ¼ of the research you otherwise would have had to do in order to study for the test. In fact, ¾ of the answers to the test just magically appear without you having to do any work. All you have to do is read the work your study group has done for you! Most likely, your teachers haven’t made multiple versions of their tests, so on test day, talk to students who took the test before you. Without asking specifics, ask them what areas the test focused on. You can spend the rest of your free time before the test looking over the textbook, handouts, and notes on those subjects. Never ask for specific questions from the exam. If you get caught doing that, you’ll be in trouble for cheating. Think about how much you hate giving presentations in class, even if they’re just five minutes long. Imagine doing that all day every day — that’s what teaching is! When students ask questions, it makes teachers feel great because they don’t feel like they’re doing all that work for nothing.  Make sure to ask at least one question in every class, every day. It doesn’t have to even be a smart question — just show the teacher that you’re paying some kind of attention. Your teachers will remember you as a student who wants to learn and understand, even if you’re just going through the motion of asking questions. They might be more forgiving when it comes time to...

TL;DR in English: Make a friend who takes good notes. Start a study group. Talk to students who have the same class earlier in the day. Ask questions in class.

In general, large files are relatively coarse. They leave a rougher finish, but remove more stock. Conversely, smaller files are finer. They remove less stock, but leave a smoother finish. Use a flat file for general purpose work, a square file for enlarging rectangular holes, and a round file for enlarging round holes. Use a triangular file on acute angles, and a half-round file to smooth curved faces of grooves. A bastard-cut file has the highest degree of coarseness, while a second-cut file has a medium degree of coarseness. A smooth-cut file is the least coarse option. For fast removal of stock, choose a double-cut file. For finishing, use a single-cut file. Choose a rasp-cut for rough cuts of soft materials, and a curved-cut file for automotive body work.  Use a double-cut file to file brass, bronze, copper, and tin. These tough metals should be filed with a double-cut file as they are strong enough to withstand the metal and/or alloy.  Rasp-cut files can be used for wood as well as lead and aluminum. This file has a series of individual teeth and produces a rough cut. Be sure that the file you choose to use is whole, rather than broken or chipped. Ensure the handle is intact and not loose. Check the teeth to be sure they aren’t broken, and look for rust, which should be removed before using the file. Soak your file in distilled white vinegar overnight to remove the rust. Then wipe off any residue and thoroughly dry the file before using it. There should not be any pins (bits of filed metal) stuck in the teeth. If there are, clean them out with a file card, stiff wire brush, or a piece of skinny wire or sheet metal. You can also use a scrap piece of hardwood to clean your file by pressing the wood against the file and scraping it along the grooves. You should clean your file often while you are working as well. Aim to stop and clean your file every 15 strokes or so to prevent pinning. Liberally rub chalk, or a small amount of lard or general-purpose oil, into the teeth of the file. This makes the file...

TL;DR in English: Select a file size. Choose a file shape. Determine the degree of coarseness needed. Pick the right tooth geometry. Check the quality of the file. Clean the file. Apply chalk, oil, or lard to the file.

Feet tend to get dirtier and sweatier than other parts of the body, so it’s important to have good sanitary habits. If you take showers in the morning and not at night, at least make feet-washing a part of your nightly routine when you get home. Aside from being a mark of good hygiene, doing this also stops you from carrying dirt into your bed.  Wash them with soap and warm water. This will cleanse your feet of sweat, dirt and bacteria that might be living there. Pay extra attention to the spaces in between the toes. Wipe your feet gently with a towel afterward. Keep your toenails clean as well. If you walk around wearing sandals in the summer, you might find that your toenails get dirty. Take the time to clean them every time you bathe your feet. While you're washing your feet, use a pumice stone to buff your feet, exfoliating your skin. This also massages the balls and soles of your feet. Put lotion or foot cream on as a part of your routine. One way to achieve soft, moisturized feet is to rub on some lotion or petroleum jelly before bed, and slip on some socks. When you wake up in the morning, you'll find that your feet are very soft and are free from dryness! Just remember to never let the area between toes become over-moisturized, as this will cause fungus. Your feet will stay healthier if you wear proper footwear designed to keep your feet clean, dry and at a comfortable temperature. You dress the rest of your body to stay comfortable in different weather conditions, and you should do the same for your feet.  Keep them cool in the summer with sandals and footwear that breathes. If you wear shoes that make your feet hot in the summer, you could end up with odor or a fungal infection. Keep them warm in the winter with waterproof boots and socks. If you wear shoes that don't keep your feet warm enough, you're more prone to getting frostbite. . Dealing with odor is a problem many people face, since feet produce more sweat than the rest of the body and tend to harbor bacteria that creates a smell. If your...

TL;DR in English: Make sure to wash your feet daily. Massage a moisturizing lotion into your feet everyday. Wear the right footwear for the occasion.  Get rid of odors Keep your feet dry. Shower safely. Trim your toenails properly.

You should start by checking for signs of infection. If the area is swollen, releasing pus or blood, or is very tender and painful, you should go immediately to your doctor or local health clinic. Skin cracks are very prone to infection and these infections require professional treatment. If you do not have health insurance (and you live in the US), go to the official listing of clinics for low income individuals. You should be able to find a clinic which will scale your bill to the amount of money you have available. Start treatment of basic cracks by soaking your skin. Sanitize a bowl, bucket, or tub and then fill it with warm (not hot) water. You'll then want to pour in a little apple cider vinegar to help disinfect your skin. Use about 1 cup per gallon of water. Disinfecting will help cut down on chances for the cracks to become infected. Using a clean washcloth, gently rub the affected area. This will remove dead skin cells and allows the products you'll place on your skin to absorb better. Be sure to be gentle and that the washcloth you use is clean. Once you've healed the cracks, you can use more aggressive forms of exfoliating but this should not be done more than once a week. Your skin is sensitive and needs to be treated carefully. Give your skin a final rinse and then apply a layer of moisturizer. You'll want to lock in the moisture that your skin received with the soak, or else you risk drying out your skin even more. We recommend a lanolin product but you'll find other recommendations in the next section. If you have time, such as if you can treat your skin overnight or on a weekend, wet dressings may help heal the skin and can at least provide you with greater comfort. Wet dressings consist of a moist layer of fabric covered by a dry layer. So, for example, let's say your feet are cracked. Wet a pair of socks and then wring them so they don't drip. Put those on and then cover with dry socks. Sleep like this overnight. It is important not to do this if you suspect the cracks are infected, since...

TL;DR in English: Check for infections. Soak your skin with a disinfectant. Gently exfoliate. Apply a layer of moisturizer. Apply wet dressings overnight. Apply bandages during the day. Keep the area clean and protected until the cracks heal.

Manual transmission cars have a clutch pedal and a gear shift you use to control the engine. Automatic cars take care of this for you. When you’re drifting, the extra control enables you to achieve the correct speed and angle required to get around a bend. When a car has rear-wheel drive, the engine controls the rear wheels only. Other cars have engines responsible for the front wheels or all 4 wheels. The rear wheels are what you need during a drift, so a car with a rear-wheel drive system is much easier to control. When choosing a car, figure out what kind of system it has by checking the owner’s manual or researching it online.  Another option is to use a 4-wheel drive car where the engine controls all 4 wheels. The best 4-wheel drive cars are ones that have stronger back wheels. You will have to test drive the car to determine which wheels adhere to the road more. Cars with front-wheel drive are very difficult to drift without a lot of practice. The front wheels control the car in order to prevent it from sliding. You end up understeering, which means the car doesn’t turn as much as you desire. Worn-out tires have less traction, so your car slides more easily when you round a bend. The front tires don’t matter as much, but using old rear tires makes a difference if your car doesn’t drift well. Try saving a spare set of tires to put on your car before you practice. Inexpensive tires, even if they are new, often can help with drifting. Many cars come equipped with automatic stability or steering control systems. Turning these systems off makes drifting much easier if a change of tires aren’t enough to make a difference. However, driving without these systems is dangerous unless you’re good at controlling the car.

TL;DR in English:


Try on the shoes to see which parts need to be smaller. Dab an ill-fitting area of the shoe with water until it is damp but not saturated. Apply heat to the wet fabric with a blow dryer on the medium setting. Put on the shoe to see if the fit has improved. Use leather conditioner to protect leather and suede shoes.

Education is not the most important part of learning proper English by any means, but people with extensive educations do often have a strong grasp on the rules of grammar and syntax. Speak to well-educated people, like your teachers,  your family members, or even nice strangers to hear what English is supposed to sound like. Try to mimic how these people speak. It may feel strange or awkward at first, but with practice it will become second nature. English speakers who are recording their voices will pay extra attention to their pronunciation and how they are saying a word. Read along with an audiobook to see how each word is pronounced, or listen to an educational podcast for a more conversational tone. You can even stop the recording and repeat new words until you get them right. A common mistake many native and non-native English speakers make is not pronouncing the endings of words. Try over-enunciating the endings of words at first, then relax a little. Dropping the ends of words makes the language more informal, since some of them can be versions of slang words. For instance, instead of saying "goin’,” say "going.” Instead of saying "makin’," say "making.” To practice your pronunciation and moving from word to word quickly as you speak, say some tongue-twisters to yourself once a day. Practice ones that rely heavily on different letters and pronunciations so that you get a well-rounded practice.  Common tongue-twisters include: “Sally sells seashells down by the sea shore.” ”Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.” ”How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” Tongue-twisters are notoriously difficult to say, even for native English speakers. Don’t get discouraged if it takes some practice to get these right.

TL;DR in English: Speak to educated English-speakers. Listen to podcasts and audiobooks. Pronounce the endings of words. Practice tongue-twisters.

Sewing a button on in place of a missing button is another easy way to replace a missing jeans button. To sew on a button, you will need:  Replacement button Needle Thread (use a heavy duty or denim thread) Scissors Small denim patch (optional) Insert the thread through the needle’s eye. Pull the thread through the eye so that about 18 inches of thread is hanging from the eye. Then, snip the thread to make the pieces even. You can buy pre-threaded needles if you don’t want to bother with threading a needle.

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Thread a needle.

To keep the fastener closing well and lint-free, clean it once a month. Doing this will keep debris from getting excessively embedded, which is more difficult to remove than surface lint. If the fastener is on an item you wash in the washing machine, fasten the hook and loop sides together before washing the item. This will keep the closure from picking up stray threads or damaging your other clothes in the washing process. Anti-static spray, such as Static Guard, can make the fastener attract less lint. Spray the fastener after you wash your clothes, to minimize debris.

TL;DR in English: Brush lint out of the hook-and-loop fastener once a month. Fasten the hook-and-loop fastener together before placing it in the washer. Spray the hook-and-loop fastener with anti-static spray after washing.

Viral meningitis is usually self limited and goes away on its own. There are a few specific viruses such as the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and HIV that require specific goal directed therapy with antiviral drugs. Viral meningitis is spread person to person contact. A groups of viruses called enterovirus is the primary source and occur most typically in the late summer to early fall. Despite it being possible to be spread by person to person contact, outbreaks of viral meningitis are rare. There are three kinds of bacteria that cause bacterial meningitis, which is the most worrisome and lethal. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common form to strike infants, young children, and adults in the US. There is a vaccine for this bacteria, however, so it is curable. It is spread most commonly from a sinus or ear infection and should be suspected when a person with a prior sinus or ear infection develops symptoms of meningitis. Certain people are at higher risk, such as those who do not have spleens and those who are older. Vaccination for these individuals is protocol. Another bacteria that causes bacterial meningitis is Neisseria meningitidis. This is a highly contagious form that afflicts otherwise healthy adolescents and young adults. It is spread person to person and outbreaks occur in schools or dorms. It is particularly lethal, leading to multi-organ failure, brain damage, and death if not rapidly identified and started on intravenous antibiotics.  It also has the distinction of causing a “petechial” rash, meaning a rash that looks like lots of tiny bruises, and this is an important distinction to note. Vaccination is recommended for all adolescents 11 to 12 years of age, with a booster at age 16. If no prior vaccine was given and the patient is 16, only one vaccination is required. The third bacteria that causes bacterial meningitis is Haemophilus influenza. This used to be a very common cause of bacterial meningitis in infants and children. However, since a Hib vaccination protocol has been introduced,...

TL;DR in English: Learn about viral meningitis. Know about Streptococcus pneumoniae. Understand Neisseria meningitidis. Learn about Haemophilus influenza (Hib). Take advantage of meningitis vaccines if necessary.

Put the shoes on and stand with your feet flat on the floor, and then take a few steps. Check to see which places on the shoe aren’t touching your foot, and decide which parts need to be smaller for the shoes to fit more snugly.  If you bought the shoe in your size, you probably won’t need to shrink the entire shoe. Instead, you’re just going to be focusing on shrinking one area of the shoe at a time. For instance, you may want to make the sides of a canvas shoe slightly smaller so your foot doesn’t slip out while you walk. Dip your fingers into cool water and pat the water onto the shoe. Continue this until the fabric is damp but not dripping wet. Focus the water on the areas that are the most stretched.  Avoid getting water on the insole of the shoe, as this can cause it to become smelly, cracked, or discolored. For a leather or suede shoe, focus the water around the top edge of the shoe, which tends to be the stretchiest area.  Adding water and heat to shoes like patent leather heels, coated leather sneakers, or larger shoes, like boots, won’t be effective for shrinking them. In those cases, you’ll need to use inserts to get a better fit. Hold a blow dryer about 6 inches (15 cm) away from the area where you applied the water. Turn the dryer on and set the heat at the medium level. Leave the dryer on until the fabric is dry to the touch.  Don’t hold the blow dryer too close to the fabric. The concentrated heat from the dryer discolor lighter canvas fabrics. For leather and suede, continuously move the dryer around the top edge of the shoe to heat the leather, causing it to contract and shrink. If the leather starts to smell or crack while you’re applying heat, turn the blow dryer off and let the shoes air dry. Once the area is dry, put the shoe back on your fut and stand up with your feet flat on the floor. Take a few steps to see if the the fabric feels tighter. If it does, your shoe has shrunk.  If it still feels loose, re-apply the water to the area and continue blow drying. If they feel too tight, wear...

Drop a subtle, audible hint about being quiet. Ask them to be quiet. Use nonverbal methods to get people to keep it down. Be considerate if the loud patron is a child.

If you want to keep your man happy emotionally and sexually, then you can't just settle into the same old routine, even if you've been together for years. You have to make an effort to keep things fresh or both of you will lose interest. Here are some ways to do it:  Do something that you've never done before together at least once a month. It could be rock climbing, biking, or playing beach volleyball. Take a dance class together. Learning to salsa or ballroom dance will help you keep your bodies in sync as you explore new horizons. Find a new way to compliment your man every week. You can always think of more things that you love about him. Play hard to get once in a while. He shouldn't feel like he can have you whenever he wants. Know that the chase is never over. He should be working as hard to pursue you as he did the day you met. The easiest way to blow a great relationship is to start to get consumed by jealousy for no reason at all. If you're jealous, that will only make your man annoyed and frustrated and will make him feel like you're not secure enough in the relationship to trust that he won't cheat on you. If you can't stand it when your man talks to or even mentions another girl, even if it's completely harmless, then you need to work on keeping your jealousy in check and on making your man feel secure.  If you can avoid gossiping or saying negative things about other girls in your orbit, your man will be impressed. Part of being in a healthy relationship means knowing that there are a lot of other appealing members of the opposite sex out there and recognizing that you won't pursue them. If you think your man can't be around a pretty girl without hitting on her, then you have a problem. If you don't like your man the way he is -- to a degree -- then why bother with him? It's okay to want your man to step it up a bit, whether it's by not showing up late to your dates or by taking less than three hours to return one of your calls, but it's not okay to try to change the way your man looks, dresses,...

TL;DR in English: Keep your relationship fresh. Don't get jealous. Don't try to change him. Give him space. Make sure you're happy.

Unschooling allows a child to learn in their own, individual way, using their natural curiosity and interests. Instead of sitting in a classroom for eight hours a day, they are able to have interactive projects and constant learning opportunities.  Unschooling is incredibly adaptive. It changes and moves with the child and goes at the child's pace. It teaches children that learning happens constantly--not within a rigid structure of 'facts' and tests, but in a natural, non-stressful environment. There is no doing school since you are learning all the time. Giving children the opportunity and the resources for learning on their own gives them greater independence and a greater ability to take charge for themselves and to make decisions for themselves. Regular public school tends to be a space more for showing off and for artificial boundaries drawn based on class, race, and gender that perpetuate in children behaviors and boundaries which are already problematic in the wider culture. Most children learn little more than how to work within a system that does not even treat them as people (many students have stories about cheating on tests, lying to avoid getting in trouble, and so on). Unschooling means that both the parent(s) and the child have to take charge of learning. This does not mean that the parent is responsible for becoming the 'teacher,' so to speak, but to be an active, participant in their child's learning.  This means doing interesting projects and looking up answers to one's own questions. There are a variety of good books and helpful spaces for parents who are unschooling their children, that can help give them ideas and deal with difficult times. Books like John Holt's Teach Your Own or Grace Llewellyn's The Teenage Liberation Handbook. Or check out the Self Made Scholar's unschooling reading list. Unschooling means constant learning. It sounds tiring, but really all that means is rather than setting aside a specific time to sit down to memorize some facts, your child is constantly being...

TL;DR in English: Discover unschooling. Take charge of learning. Learn all the time. Learn about unschooling and college opportunities.

Once you have written down all of your realistic options for a mental health career and considered options that are available to you, you can begin to narrow down the list so that you can make a final decision. Take the positive and negative aspects of each option into consideration and weigh your decision carefully. Listen to your gut feelings here, as ultimately you will know best what will make you happiest. Once you have a small list of options, spend time time getting a better sense of which option is right for you.  If possible, shadow someone who already performs that type of work to get a feel for what a day is like with that career. If that is not possible, spend more time online digging around for information about the job. Take note of the type of activities you will need to perform (the good, the bad, and the ugly), the salary you can expect initially and long-term, the type of environment you will work in, whether that career niche is in-demand, what your schedule will look like, and any other features about a career that are important to you. Write down what you consider positive and negative features for each option. Once you have a list of pros and cons, look for the options that have the most pros or the most important pros relative to cons. You can then rule out options that do not interest you based on your research and your preference for certain features. Review the remaining options and examine whether each should still be considered based on what is most important to you. For instance, if you really want a job with regular patient interaction, you may want to exclude options like hospital administration. Once you have eliminated options that were unappealing or would not offer features you deem indispensable, try to rank the choices that remain. Use your gut feelings when thinking about what would make you happy and not so happy about having a career in each of your options.

TL;DR in English: Narrow down your list. Learn more about your narrowed down options. Make a list of pros and cons. Compare the lists by the most important factors. Narrow the list and rank your choices.

A towel wrap is a good system to use if you have long, curly, or thick hair that tends to hold onto moisture for a long time. You can wrap up your hair while you’re getting ready for the day, then take it down and style it when it’s still a little damp. You’ll need a large, soft towel long enough to wrap your hair. You can buy special towels made just for this purpose. Check out a beauty supply store or look online for a good selection.

TL;DR in English: Have a large, soft towel ready.

Clicking the music note switches iTunes to Music view, which reveals all of the playlists you've created as well as ones Apple provides by default. iTunes orders your playlists along one side of the screen. Clicking the one you want to delete highlights it and shows the songs it contains. If your keyboard has a Delete key, you can delete a playlist by clicking it and pressing Delete. iTunes will ask you to confirm that you want to delete the playlist. Don't worry: deleting a playlist does not delete any songs from your computer, so you can add them to other playlists later. If your mouse only has a single button, holding down Control (sometimes labeled Ctrl) and clicking is the same as right-clicking on a two-button mouse.

TL;DR in English: Click on the music note near the upper-left corner of the screen. Click the playlist you want to delete. Right-click the playlist and click Delete.

Instead of yelling at the person or group that's getting on your nerves, make some small noise that will help them get the point that what they're doing isn't appreciated. If they're constantly chatting while you're looking for a book, try clearing your throat or coughing softly. Hopefully this will help quiet them down. Try not to shush them loudly in a way that would seem condescending. This might make them want to continue being loud because you tried to embarrass them. If someone is truly bothering you with their noise, just go up to them and kindly, in a calm voice, ask them to lower their voice. Sometimes just bringing it to their attention that they are being disruptive is all it will take to make them change their behavior. Try using one of these examples:  “I’m sorry to be a bother, but would you mind keeping it down a bit?” “Hi. I hate to be that person, but I have a big test tomorrow that I’m trying to study for and I’d really appreciate it if you could tone it down a bit. Thanks!” “Would you mind moving to a different location? This is a quiet work space. Thank you!” Most people understand that libraries are meant to be a quiet place. A meaningful glance in their direction should give them a hint that a lack of silence isn't appreciated in such an environment. Don’t glare at them or make a mean face. This will only make the situation worse. Try to be understanding if it's children that won't calm down. Infants and toddlers obviously don’t have the same kind of self-control adults do and it is very likely that their parents are just as frustrated about the situation as you are – and probably embarrassed by their child’s behavior too! If you must, ask the parents or caregivers to get the kids to calm down. Generally, don't try to talk to the kids directly. This will probably scare and creep them out or anger their parents since you not only scared their children, you also tried to discipline their kids.

TL;DR in English:


Test the WD-40 on a small hidden area. Spray the stained area with WD-40. Remove the product with a damp cloth. Clean off the greasy residue with a stain remover.

Once you have assumed your posture in a chair or a traditional meditation pose, you should align your back and find a comfortable position. Your lower back should be slightly curved in and your upper back should be slightly curved out. You should have an open chest. Your neck should be very slightly curved in and your head should be level. Your body should be slightly relaxed while remaining upright.  Remember to relax your shoulders. Your arms and hands should feel loose. If you feel tension, you can do a shoulder shrug and then return to meditating. You should be relaxed but not so relaxed that you are falling asleep in your chair. Likewise, you want to be sitting with a straight back but avoid tensing up your back. Put your tongue just behind your front teeth on the roof of your mouth. This helps prevent your mouth from getting dry during meditation. With your eyes half open, look at the ground five or six feet in front of you. Your gaze should be at around a 45 degree angle. Settle your gaze on the floor or ground. You should have your eyes open but should avoid staring at whatever is on the ground. Simply leave your eyes open and leave them in one place, directed to the ground or floor in front of you.  You should not be looking at anything in front of you. If you find yourself directing your attention to something in front of you, remind yourself of the feeling of your breath. To avoid distraction during your meditation session, settle your gaze someplace that is not too stimulating. If there are people moving or electronic lights in front of you, it might be too distracting. If this is the case, find someplace different to meditate. Once you have relaxed in a comfortable position, you may notice that your body is breathing. Place your attention on the movement of your breath in and out of your body. In some meditation traditions, you have to breathe through your nose. If you are a mouth breather or have a hard time with this, it is fine to breathe through your mouth. You may notice that your mind is...

TL;DR in English: Sit in a relaxed position with a straight back. Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Set your gaze a few feet in front of you. Notice that you are breathing. Observe your mind. Come back to your breath.

When you're eating with kidney disease, you need to be conscientious of your vegetable intake. While vegetables are vital to a healthy diet, not all vegetables are safe for you if you have compromised kidneys. Vegetables high in potassium should generally be avoided when you have kidney problems.  Good vegetable choices include broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, eggplant, lettuce, cucumber, celery, onions, pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash. You should avoid potatoes, tomatoes, avocados, asparagus, pumpkin, winter squash, and cooked spinach. These options have a lot of potassium. If you need to limit potassium, then make sure to avoid high potassium vegetables, such as potatoes. Instead, choose low potassium ones, like cucumbers and radishes. You should also be careful to watch out for fruits with high levels of potassium. Fruit is an important component of your diet when you have kidney disease, but be conscientious of what types of fruit you choose.  Low potassium fruits include grapes, cherries, apples, pears, berries, plums, pineapples, tangerines, and watermelon. Try to avoid oranges and orange-based products like orange juice. You should watch out for kiwis, nectarines, prunes, cantaloupe, honeydew, raisins, and dry fruit in general. If you need to limit your potassium, then make sure to choose low potassium fruits, such as blueberries and raspberries. Protein is an important part of your diet, but you want to be careful with protein intake if you have kidney disease. If you get too much, then it may stress your kidneys. However, if you do not get enough, then it may cause you to feel tired. As protein produces waste in the body, and kidneys help remove waste, too much protein may put unneeded pressure on your kidneys. Your doctor may suggest a low protein diet. However, when undergoing dialysis, you may need to up your protein intake temporarily.  Find out how much protein you are allowed to have per day and stick to this guideline. Limit high protein foods to 5 to 7 ounces per day, or less if...

TL;DR in English: Choose the correct vegetables. Select the right fruits. Talk to your doctor about your protein requirements. Prepare foods in a heart healthy manner.

Mattresses range from classic firm or plush options to higher-tech mechanically-operated beds with remote controls. Do some research on these commonly available options:  Basic firm or plush mattresses. Basic mattresses are made from a variety of materials and are sold at every price range. Mattresses made with organic or natural fibers tend to be more expensive. You'll be able to choose from extra firm, firm, plush, and extra plush mattresses, depending on how soft or hard you like your bed to be. Memory foam mattresses. These mattresses are made from a material that molds to the shape of your body when you lie down, and holds that shape while you are sleeping. These are a good option for people who don't tend to move around a lot during the night. They retain body heat, so you may not want to go with memory foam if you tend to get hot while you sleep. Sleep number mattresses. These mattresses can be made harder or softer with the touch of a button. They are usually divided into different zones, so that your partner's side can have a different level of firmness than yours. Look into brand names, but don't be too biased. Sometimes brand names are better, but that doesn't mean you should overlook cheaper non-brand makes. A well-known name does not imply quality, though often times there is good reason for such a reputation. The important thing is to test mattresses in person and figure out what feels best for your own body. Understand that a high coil count doesn't necessarily translate into a higher-quality mattress. Mattresses with interlocking coils have coils that lock together. Mattresses with independent coils have a larger number of coils and are better for light sleepers, because they won't fluctuate as much with movement--especially when your partner shifts or gets out of bed. Take the following elements into consideration:  Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper? Some mattresses are designed to accommodate specific sleeping positions. Do you have mobility issues? Some mattresses are designed to...

TL;DR in English: Know the different mattress options. Have an understanding of your physical needs. Set your budget before you go shopping.

Once your partner tells you the relationship is over, avoid begging for another chance or calling your partner over and over again. Take a step back and respect your partner’s desire for space and distance. Use this time apart to focus on your issues and what went wrong in the relationship, rather than try to talk to your partner directly. Limiting your contact may mean avoiding any messaging via text or social media. If you really feel you need more distance and space, you might want to consider unfriending your partner from Facebook and removing their number from your phone. This will prevent you from being tempted to drop in your partner’s life while you are apart and can help you re focus on your issues and needs away from your partner. You can do this in an active way by keeping a journal and writing down your thoughts and feelings around the break up. Think about factors that may have lead to the break up, such as infidelity, a lack of trust, or a lack of sexual desire. Make a list of these factors and consider if you are responsible for any of these reasons. This can help you take ownership of the part you played in the break up and help you focus on issues that you may need to work through on your own. In the event your ex-partner does give you a second chance, you want to be sure you can step up and be a good partner. Part of this is acknowledging your shortcomings in the relationship and being willing to work on your shortcomings. Break ups can be very difficult emotionally and mentally, so it is important that you reach out and lean on your support systems. Contact your family and close friends, and explain the situation to them. Try to find someone close to you that you can talk to and that you know is a good listener. Often, it is helpful to verbalize your feelings of anger, pain, hurt, or shame to a sympathetic listener. Depending on how close you are to your family or your friends, they may have seen you and your ex-partner together or they may have known you both well when you were together....

TL;DR in English: Limit your contact with your ex-partner. Identify the issues that may have lead to the break up. Lean on family and friends. Seek professional support.

To prevent further damage to the stained area, test the product on a hidden area of your floor before applying it to the stain. Select a spot beneath a coffee table or covered by a couch.  Spray the WD-40 directly onto the test spot. Allow it to sit on the hardwood for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the product with a clean, wet rag. Spray the test area with a stain remover to get rid of any greasy residue. Wipe up the spray with a damp sponge. Look at the test spot and determine if the product has removed the finish on your floor or left behind a stain. If the test spot is damaged, choose a different method of stain removal. Apply the WD-40 directly to the stain. Allow the product to sit for 3 to 5 minutes. You may also spray some WD-40 onto a clean cloth and apply it to the stained area. Run a clean cloth under the tap or dip it in a small bucket of fresh water. Wring out the rag. Remove the WD-40 from the surface. If the stain remains, re-apply the WD-40. Allow it to sit for 5 to 7 minutes before wiping the surface with a damp rag. Spray the treated area with a stain remover. This will remove any greasy residue left behind by the WD-40. Wipe the area with a damp sponge or cloth. Once the stain remover is cleaned up, run over the area with a dry cloth to pick up any remaining moisture.
