You may feel you are most productive or energetic at night, but you are unlikely to improve your sleep quality if you don’t establish a regular bedtime. By going to sleep at the same time every night no matter what, you can gradually reset your circadian rhythm and get better rest. Watching movies, playing video games, scrolling through your phone, or working on your laptop before bed can all interfere with your sleep, and the reason is two-fold. Not only are these activities high-arousing, which can make it difficult for your brain to transition into sleep, the devices also emit a stimulating blue light, which suppresses the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Try to turn off all screens two hours before you go to sleep. Instead of stimulating activities, you should enjoy very mundane activities in the two hours prior to going to sleep. Try packing your lunch for the next day, folding your laundry, washing dishes, or listening to relaxing music. Enjoy a shower or a bath an hour before your bedtime. Bathing will relax your muscles and make it easier to fall asleep. Try a relaxing bath with Epsom salts and/or lavender oil. You should certainly get exercise during the day, since it helps with ADHD symptoms such as restlessness. However, you should avoid getting exercise too close to your bedtime because it may make it hard to fall asleep. Try getting exercise first thing in the morning. Exercise can lead to a flood of endorphins and a release of adrenaline, which can give you energy to sustain you throughout the day. Working out too close to bedtime will not give your body adequate time to burn off or use the endorphins and adrenaline before attempting to sleep. . Engaging in meditation is a common stress-busting strategy, and reducing stress and anxiety before bed might make it easier for you to fall asleep. Find a quiet room in your house. Sit in a comfortable position. Place your hands on your thighs and relax your shoulders. Notice that you are breathing. Place your mind on your breath. If you notice...

TL;DR in English: Stick to a set bedtime every night. Shut off electronic devices before bed. Do relaxing, routine activities before sleeping. Shower an hour before bedtime. Exercise at least three hours prior to bedtime. Practice mindfulness meditation Use a sleep log or activity tracker to monitor your sleep.

Young, small dandelion greens, also known as baby dandelion greens, are mild in flavor, so they are great in salads and smoothies. However, mature dandelion greens (larger ones) will taste best if you stir-fry them with other ingredients and seasonings, because they can have a bitter flavor. Try sautéing dandelion greens with onions and garlic and a little bit of olive oil for a healthy veggie side dish. If you like to make your own beer or wine, look up recipes for beer or wine made with dandelions. You can also use the flowers to make a jelly that you can spread on toast. You can also fry dandelion flowers for a tasty snack! The roots of dandelions are often used to make tea. Dry the roots using a food dehydrator or by putting them out in the sun on a baking sheet. Then, chop the roots up into 0.25 in (0.64 cm) pieces and store them in a glass jar. To make a cup of dandelion tea, place 1 teaspoon of the dried root pieces into 1 cup (240 mL) of boiling water and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Strain the tea and enjoy once it is cool enough to drink!

TL;DR in English: Add fresh dandelion greens to salads, smoothies, and stir-fry dishes. Use new dandelion flowers to make beer, wine, and jelly. Dry dandelion roots and use them for tea.

Talk to people you trust or go online to find a good dentist. Referrals from friends or families will ensure you can trust your experience. Because you are not likely to be qualified to determine if you indeed have a cavity, you will need a dentist to do this. Make sure you get it checked out so as to avoid more damage to your teeth. This will help them to focus on those spots. If the cause of your worry or discomfort is not a cavity, the dentist may still be able to help. Try to be as specific as you can be and explain when and how you feel the pain. Let your dentist know if your feel sharp pain while they are examining your teeth. This physical probing of your teeth will enable the dentist to tell if you have a cavity. They will poke and prod in different locations to test the strength and damage at any spot. Make sure your dentist does a thorough examination on any tooth that gives you problems. This may reveal cavities or other issues. When cavities form between your teeth, it is not always easy to tell they are there. In these situations, a dentist cannot probe with a dental tool. They will not fit between your teeth. In this case, a dentist can take an x-ray to reveal the presence of any cavities. If you feel that you have a cavity, you may wish to have your dentist take an x-ray to find out the extent of the damage.

TL;DR in English: Find a dentist. Tell your dentist about the problem area. Get your teeth probed. Have an x-ray taken.

Decide where you will put the bruise and consider what would have caused a bruise in that particular area.  This will help you decide where the bruise should be as well as it’s shape and size.  Put the bruise in a place which is easy to reach to make applying makeup simple. The shape of the bruise should reflect whatever you think would have caused it. Consider a bruise on your forearm as if it was hit by a blunt object like a bat, which would be an oval bruise.  It would be a little longer than it is wide and have rounded edges. Another option is giving yourself a black eye as if you were punched in the face. Let them notice the bruise before you go around showing it off.  They are more likely to believe it is real if you don’t say anything about it.  Let them ask you what happened and be prepared with a fake story. If they don’t ask about it, you can “accidentally” touch the bruise or hit it on something, then react as if it hurt.

TL;DR in English: Place the bruise. Fool your friends.

If you have just spilled something on your cowhide rug, you should act quickly to clean it up.  Leaving any liquid to soak into the rug will result in stains that are much more difficult to remove.  Take these actions as soon as you notice a spill on your cowhide rug to help reduce the staining:  Soak the spill up with a towel or sponge.  Don t wipe the spill away, as this will only spread it. Try to use only a dabbing motion while absorbing the spill. You may find that some areas of the spill have dried and left solid material behind.  These can be scraped away with the blunt edge of a knife.  Use the blunt edge of a knife to gently break up and remove any areas of dried material until only the stain is left.  Scrape with the direction of the hair. Do not use the sharp edge of the knife. You might also try using a hard-bristled brush or spoon. Don't scrape or press too hard.  Apply only enough pressure to remove the dried material. If there is a small stain on your cowhide rug from a spill, you can try using shampoo and water to remove it.  The water and mild soapy solution will help to break up the stain and restore your cowhide.  Use a damp cloth or sponge to apply the soapy water to the cowhide rug. Make sure to use as little soap as possible and add more only if needed. You can scrub and rub in any direction. Make sure the sponge or towel isn't soaking wet. Don't use any alkaline soaps or shampoos. After you've scrubbed the rug, you will want to remove any soapy residue from it.  Take a new cloth and dampen it with only water.  Use this damp cloth to gently wipe away any soap or remaining stain.  Allow your rug time to dry before placing it back in your room.  If the stain is still there, you can try cleaning the rug again to remove what's left. If you can't seem to remove the stain yourself, you may need to have it professionally cleaned. Although it may be tempting, using a washing machine or dry-cleaning chemicals will damage your cowhide rug.  Remove all stains and spills with gentle hand washing...

TL;DR in English: Clean up spills quickly. Scrape away dried matter. Use shampoo and water to remove liquid stains. Finish cleaning the cowhide rug. Do not use dry-cleaning or machine washing.

Like all cats, for a long and healthy life the Bengal requires certain routine health measures. As a kitten, this includes vaccinations, deworming, neutering, and having a microchip inserted.  Having a microchip in place means you can prove ownership is the cat is recovered from thieves or if found when it's lost. Make sure your vet takes care of Bengals, because not all vets do. Repeat again at 10 weeks, with the final shot of this initial course at 14 weeks of age. The vet will vaccinate against distemper and rabies, as a basic course, and discuss vaccinating against feline leukemia and chlamydia.  There is some resistance amongst Bengal breeders to giving the leukaemia vaccine. The reasons for this are not clear but are related to the ancestry of the Asian leopard. There is no proof whatsoever that Bengal cats are especially sensitive to this vaccine and there are no special complications in the breed.  Neither does the Bengal's ancestry give them natural immunity, as some breeders argue, so not vaccinating leaves your cat open to possible infection. However, if your cat is going to be purely indoors, then you can save yourself the debate, because an indoor cat is at low risk of contracting feline leukemia. Desexing is usually done between 5 - 6 months. However, some breeders insist on the kitten being neutered before they are homed (at 12 weeks), in order to avoid their kittens being used for breeding stock. Worming should be done at 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks of age with an oral product, such as Panacur. Good products, such as Stronghold (UK) or Revolution (US), last for 1 month, so they should be applied monthly from 6 weeks of age. The breed is at greater risk than others of Feline Infectious Peritonitis. This viral disease is most likely to spread in establishments where more than five cats live and who use shared litter trays. Unfortunately, this means breeding establishments can be potential breeding grounds for the Corona virus which mutates and causes clinical FIP.  There is no preventative...

TL;DR in English: Take your Bengal to the vet on a regular basis. Start vaccination from six weeks of age to give temporary protection. Get your cat desexed. Get your cat dewormed. Understand the unique health issues Bengals can have. Consider taking out pet insurance for your Bengal cat.

The main scale on a Vernier caliper typically tells you the whole number plus the first decimal. Read this just as you would a ruler, measuring to the zero mark on the sliding (Vernier) scale.  For example, if the 0 on the sliding scale lines up with the 2 inch mark, your measurement is 2 inches. If it lines up past 2 inches by six tenth-inch marks, your measurement is 2.6 inches. If the result is between two lines, just use the smaller value. Do not try to estimate a value between the two lines. Find the first mark on the Vernier scale that lines up perfectly with any line on the main scale. That mark tells you the value of the additional digits.  For example, the 14 on the Vernier scale aligns with a line on the main scale. Let's say the scale represents 0.01 inch increments, so the 14 represents 0.014". It makes no difference which line on the main scale it aligns with. We've already taken our reading from the main scale; don't take another one. Add the main scale and Vernier scale results together to get the final answer. Make sure you use the correct units as labeled on each scale, or you won't get the right answer.  In our example, we measured 2.6 inches on the main scale, and 0.014 inches on the Vernier scale. Our final measurement is 2.614 inches. The digits don't always line up this neatly. For example, if the main centimeter scale reads 0.85, and the Vernier 0.01 cm scale reads 12, adding them together results in 0.85 + 0.012 = 0.862 cm.

TL;DR in English: Read the main scale where it lines up with the sliding scale's zero. Read the Vernier scale. Add the numbers together.

Make sure that the rack is placed in the center. Pour the water into a baking dish big enough to fit both ham steaks. Add the brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and 5 whole cloves. Stir everything together until combined; the sugar needs to be dissolved. Make sure that the ham steaks are not touching when placed into the dish. Check the size before preparing the sauce. Arrange the ham steaks in the baking dish. Use a spoon to scoop up the sauce and pour it over the ham steaks. If the ham steaks are not covered, transfer everything into a smaller baking dish; you can also just add more water. If you are using a smaller baking dish, make sure that the ham steaks are not touching. They are ready when they become tender. There is no need to turn the ham because you are not roasting it; the ham is covered by water. Use tongs to remove the ham from the baking dish. Place the ham steaks on a platter and serve them.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven to 375 °F (191 °C). Mix the sauce ingredients in a baking dish. Place the ham steaks into the baking dish and coat them with the sauce. Bake the ham steaks in the oven for about 35 to 45 minutes. Serve the ham while it is still hot.

Bloating is caused by gas buildup in the stomach and intestines. This blockage leads to many different symptoms, such as excessive gas, frequent burping, and abdominal rumbling. You may notice visible swelling or puffiness in the abdomen. You may also experience abdominal pain, which can range from mild to intense or dull to sharp. Often, passing gas or having a bowel movement will relieve some of this pain. There are many things that can cause bloating. It can be from swallowing too much air and other gases, smoking, constipation, lactose intolerance, or overeating. Many of these can typically be helped without medical intervention. If you aren't sure about the cause of your bloating, ask your doctor.  Some conditions that commonly cause bloating include: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Celiac Disease, and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Other rarer conditions may also cause bloating. More serious disorders that may cause bloating are: ascites and tumors, celiac disease, dumping syndrome, ovarian cancer, and pancreatic insufficiency.  Your doctor may give you medication for these conditions, which will vary depending on the conditions and its severity. Always follow your doctor's orders about any prescription medication. Bloating should relieve itself after a day or so with the proper food or medical treatment. It may also relieve itself on its own if it is not a severe case of bloating. However, there are some situations that require medical attention. If your symptoms do not improve within two weeks of medical treatment, See your doctor immediately if you:  Experience pain so bad you cannot go through your daily activities or if it persists for days Have excessive diarrhea Are vomiting Pass bloody stools, or have a significant change in the frequency or color of your stools Experience unintended weight loss Have chest pain

TL;DR in English: Recognize the symptoms of bloating. Determine the causes of bloating. Visit your physician.

This is another classic move that never fails to work. If you really want to get out of the boring conversation, then you can say that you need to go meet or talk to someone else. Though this can come off as a little mean, make it sound important, so the person thinks you really are serious about it. Here's how you can say it:  "I've actually been meaning to ask Mr. Peterson a question about the annual report. Excuse me." "I need to talk to Marnie about carpooling to Austin this summer. I'll talk to you later." This is probably the easiest way to get out of a boring conversation. It can be a little awkward to say, "I have to use the facilities" or "I've gotta pee," so you can just say, "If you'll excuse me" and nod in the direction of the bathroom or just make it pretty clear that this is what you're going to do. No one can doubt the fact that you have to relieve your bladder and this is pretty much the most solid excuse you can have.  You can come up with a more elaborate reason to use the bathroom, like having to take your allergy medication, having something in your eye, or needing to do something else that can only be done in private. Just make sure you actually go inside the bathroom if you say that's what you're going to do. If you don't, you may really hurt the person's feelings. This is always another solid option to get out of a boring conversation. If you're talking to someone and feel the conversation going south pretty fast, then buck up, surreptitiously chug your drink, and say that you're going to go refill your glass or get another snack for yourself. These are always legitimate reasons to leave a conversation at a party, if you're nice about them. It's ideal if you spot a friend or acquaintance standing next to the bar or the chips and salsa. Here are some things you can say:  "I'm just so thirsty today. Excuse me — I need to chug some water." "I just can't stop eating those Christmas cookies! They are so addicting. I'll talk to you later." This is a more outlandish excuse, but you can go for...

Cook and whisk the butter over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Serve the Parmesan garlic spaghetti.

How you decide to meet with your friend and talk about ending the friendship depends on the length of your friendship, how close you are, and how you both usually talk. Make sure you choose a time, place, and method of talking that best fits the needs of your friendship, not the one that’s just easiest or least awkward for you.  If you’ve been good friends for a long time, meet in-person. See if you can meet at a place where you can have some privacy. Give them a heads up that you want to meet to talk about something important, so that they’ll set aside enough time for you. If you’ve been friends for a short time, or you usually communicate online or on the phone, send them an email or call them. You don’t have to list all of your friend’s faults, but be clear and to the point about what’s been bothering you. Getting into too much detail may be hurtful. Think of what you’d like to stay beforehand and practice it in your head or with someone you trust.  If you have a new friend who is spending time with someone you don’t like, you can say, "I enjoy spending time with you, but not Becky. I know you are very close with her, but I can’t be around her. I think for now it might be better if you and I didn't try to take our friendship further." If you just met a friend who has a different lifestyle than you, you can say, "You know, I'm really flattered that you'd like to be my friend, but I’m just not into parties and I need to focus on school. The other friends you have seem to be into that, and that’s okay, but I think it would be too tempting to me to party too much. I don’t want that right now.” If you have a good friend who has difficulty accepting your religion, you can say, "I enjoy spending time with you, but I've been feeling insulted by you, your other friends, and your parents about my commitment to my faith. I just do not want to be around it." Let your friend know you liked and cared for them. Say “thank you” for the experiences you shared. Tell them what you liked about them as a person, which will...

TL;DR in English: Choose the best time and place. Be honest and brief. Express appreciation. Avoid blaming and shaming. Let them respond. Show empathy. Stay positive.

When you're sick, your body works hard to get you better. This drains all of your energy from your body, meaning you will be more tired than usual. This also means you need to rest more, since your body is working so hard. If you try doing more than you have to, you can make your flu last longer and make your symptoms worse. At least eight hours of sleep per night is ideal, but you will probably need even more when you're sick. Sleep in and take naps throughout the day. Take time off of work or school so you can get adequate rest. Keeping your body temperature up will help speed up your recovery. Make sure that you turn on the heat in your house, so that it is warm enough for you. You can also stay warm by wearing a fuzzy robe, by staying under the covers, or by using a portable heater. Dry heat can bother your nose and throat, causing them to dry out even more and making your symptoms worse. Try using a humidifier in the room where you spend most of your time. This will add moisture back into the air, which can ease coughing and congestion. When you are sick, you need to rest. It is the only way to regain your strength and let your body recuperate. If you go into work or school while you are sick, you will be spreading your germs to those around you. Also, when you are sick with the flu, your immune system is weaker. This means you might pick up other illnesses from those around you and you could be sick longer. Ask your doctor for a note to excuse you from work or school for a few days. Blowing your nose a lot and sweating due to fever and increased environmental heat causes you to lose hydration. This can worsen flu symptoms and cause more symptoms, such as headaches and a dry, irritated throat. Try to drink more fluids than average when you're sick. You can drink decaffeinated hot tea, an electrolyte solution like PediaLyte, diluted sports drinks, eat soups and water-heavy fruit and vegetables such as watermelon, tomato, cucumber, and pineapple, or drink more juice and water.  Avoid sugary sodas because...

TL;DR in English: Rest as much as possible. Keep yourself warm. Stay home. Drink plenty of fluids. Seek medical help if necessary.

Wet the potato with warm water, then use your hand or a vegetable scrub brush to clean the potato. Be sure to get into any dips or rough spots to remove any stuck-on dirt. If you’re peeling the potatoes, you might skip this step. However, it’s helpful to start with a clean skin so that you don’t accidentally transfer dirt from the skin onto the edible part of the potato. Red and gold potatoes are easier to freeze than russet potatoes because they will blanch well whole, even with their skin. If you’d prefer to chop them up so they’ll be ready to cook later, use a sharp knife to cut them into cubes or slices. If you prefer, it’s okay to peel your red and gold potatoes before you freeze them. Place the pot of water on the stove, then turn the heat to high. Watch for bubbles rising from the bottom to the top, which means the water is boiling. You should see consistent bubbling on top of the water when it’s boiling. Potatoes that are about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) or smaller are considered small, and potatoes that are larger than this are considered large. However, potatoes that have been cut should be treated as small potatoes. Set a timer so you can keep track of the cooking time. Use a plastic bag with a zipper or a plastic food storage container. Leave about .5 inches (1.3 cm) of space inside the container. Label the container with the contents and date they were frozen. Then, put the container in your freezer.  It’s a good idea to pre-portion your potatoes so that you’ll have enough for 1 meal in each bag. You can store your potatoes in the freezer for about 12 months. Be sure to write the date on the container so you can keep track of how long they've been in the freezer.

TL;DR in English: Scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt. Leave red and gold potatoes whole, or chop them up if you prefer. Bring a pot of water to boiling over high heat. Blanch small potatoes for 3-5 minutes or large potatoes for 8-10 minutes. Put the potatoes in an airtight container and freeze them.

One of the more common symptoms of piriformis syndrome is pain felt in the buttocks, where the piriformis is located. If you consistently feel sharp pain in one of your buttocks, you may have piriformis syndrome. Other pain to look out for that could indicate this condition includes:  Pain when sitting, standing, or lying down for longer than 15 to 20 minutes. Pain radiating down the back of your thigh, and sometimes into the back of the calf and into the foot. Pain that improves when you move around and gets worse when you sit still. Pain that is not completely relieved by a change of position. Groin and pelvic pain. This may include pain in the labia for women and pain in the scrotum for men.  Dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse) in women.  Painful bowel movements. The compression of your sciatic nerve caused by piriformis syndrome can cause difficulty walking. Your leg may feel weakened as well. The two main things to look for when experiencing difficulty walking include:  Antalgic gait, which means a gait that develops to avoid pain. This usually leads to limping or shortening your gait to keep from feeling pain.  Foot drop, which is when your forefoot drops without your control because of pain in your lower leg. You may not be able to pull the foot up towards your face. When your sciatic nerve becomes compressed due to piriformis syndrome, you may begin to feel a numb or tingling sensation in your foot or leg. These sensations, or “paraesthesias,” may present as “pins and needles,” numbness, or tingling.

TL;DR in English: Monitor the source, type, and intensity of pain. Evaluate your gait. Take note of tingling or numbness.

Keep the butter mixture over medium heat and whisk it constantly. Keep cooking the mixture until the butter turns a rich gold color. It's important not to walk away while the butter is browning because it can burn quickly. Taste the pasta and add salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (7.6 g) of chopped fresh parsley leaves over the pasta. Then serve it immediately.  Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 or 4 days. The butter and cheese may separate from the noodles the longer the pasta is stored.

TL;DR in English:


Give them a gift. Try to make them smile. Make them laugh Surprise them. Try to take their mind off it. Change their environment.

You can switch the leader role between games, so everyone gets a chance at playing the leader. You may also want to have someone be second-in-command. Come up with a few simple code words or hand gestures with your team in advance, so you can talk about strategy without the other team catching on. Pick code words for "attack," "retreat," and "set up an ambush." If you have a long-range weapon like the Nerf Longshot, you could pick a spot with cover and be a sniper for your team. A small, quiet weapon like the Crossbolt might be a good for a stealthy assassin. A fully-automatic blaster like the Rapidstrike or Hyperfire with a large magazine is great for a straightforward assault, or to cover a teammate's advance. A pump action shotgun like the Rough Cut 2x4 would be good for charging in to shake up enemies. If possible, bring a Nerf pistol such as the Zombie Strike Hammershot or Nailbiter as a secondary weapon for emergencies, or for situations in which your primary weapon isn't useful. Whenever possible, move to a hill, play structure, or another high-up area. You'll be able to see farther and shoot at longer range. Try to stay behind cover if possible, or you will also be a more visible target. Due to how nerf darts are, you will have a longer range than an enemy using the same blaster. Choose a location with plenty of covers, such as trees or walls. Pretend to flee from an enemy, then disappear behind cover, turn around, and shoot when the enemy runs after you. This is even more effective if you have teammates lying in wait. Unmodified Nerf darts are very light and easily blown to one side by the wind. Avoid shooting into strong wind, and practice adjusting your aim to make up for breezes. Keep stores of extra ammunition hidden in several caches around the area. Remember where these are so you can quickly retrieve extra Nerf darts when you run out.

TL;DR in English: Use code words or gestures with teammates. Pick a weapon and choose tactics that go with it. Claim the high ground. Lure the enemy into a trap. Keep the wind in mind while firing. Hide ammunition refills if you need to.

The common gauges are 10, 12, 16, 20, 28, and .410.   28 is smaller than 20 which is smaller than 16.  The larger the gauge, the smaller in diameter the shell is .410 is an odd exception, just remember it is the smallest. If it is, you can only shoot slugs - preferentially "sabot slugs". If your barrel does not have grooves in it, you can shoot everything, including sabot slugs - though the slugs won't be very accurate. For small animals or clay targets, buy shotshells with small shot ("birdshot", #9 up to, say #4) in them. Not only are they the cheapest shells available, but they are gentler on your shotgun and (generally) your shoulder. For larger small animals, such as ducks up to large geese, you should buy shotshells with somewhat larger shot, say #5 up to #2. For larger animals, such as coyotes or deer, it is best to use slugs - the largest round available in a shotgun shell. Alternatively, you may choose to buy slugs for shooting large animals. Remember, sabot slugs for rifled barrels, "rifled" slugs for smooth barrels.  To fit a shotgun, Hold the shotgun with your dominant shooting hand with the barrel pointed up, rest the end of the shotgun stock in the crook of your arm, where your elbow is bent, if your trigger finger can reach the trigger comfortably then the gun fits your arm and fits you!

TL;DR in English: Find out what gauge of shotgun you are buying ammo for. Find out if your shotgun barrel is rifled. Decide what you are going to use the ammo for:

If you want to treat an older woman right, then you absolutely have to be a gentleman. This may be a foreign concept to you, but all it really means is that you should treat her like a lady and give her kindness and respect. If you pick her up in your car, hold the passenger door open for her, and hold the door open for her if you enter a restaurant or any other location. If she comes over, take her coat and hang it up. Here are some other ways to be a gentleman:  Show up on time, or even a little early. Let her see that she means a lot to you. Always complement her. Tell her she looks stunning, beautiful, or however she may look that day. Don't be embarrassed to tell her what you really think -- this will win her over as long as you do it in moderation. Don't spit, scratch yourself, burp, or do other un-gentlemanly things. Always look nice. Make an effort to shower, groom yourself, and to wear unwrinkled and well-fitting clothing. This will show her that you've put thought and effort into seeing her.  Take her out on nice dates. Don't take her to the local Burger King. You may not have a lot of spending money, but you should make an effort to do something that is at least romantic, even if it's eating at a dimly-lit sushi bar or taking a long walk on a starry night. Don't make her think that you just have a fetish for older women and that being with her or talking to her means you've won some kind of prize. Instead, you should ask her about her interests, what she likes to do on the weekends, and about the relationships that mean the most to her. As you're getting to know her, you don't have to pry or interview her, but you should show that you want to know who she really is -- it's cool that she's four years older than you, but that's not her defining characteristic.  When you see her, ask her how her day was. It can be as simple as that. Ask her opinion on a variety of subjects, from her favorite bands to a new political candidate. Older women tend to be more confident and experienced than younger women,...

TL;DR in English: Be a gentleman. Show a real interest in her. Keep up a good conversation. Don't bring up your age difference all the time. Don't forget to be yourself.

Can you remember a time when someone gave you a gift without an obligation to do so? How warm and fuzzy did you feel inside when it happened? Giving a gift to someone can brighten their whole day, helping them understand that the gesture of the gift is more important than the gift itself.  A gift doesn't have to cost a lot of money, or even be a physical thing, to have an impact. Take them to your secret thinking spot, or show them how to fold an origami crane. Small gestures like these are often more priceless than something you can buy in a store. Offer them something old and cared for. An old heirloom or keepsake is emotionally resonant because you've held on to it for a long time, and therefore cherish it. Old items are also symbol messages that life moves on, even when we can't imagine that it will. Make them smile by reminding them how much you care about them and smile a reassuring smile yourself. Or maybe, if you know they'll be okay with it, you could even tickle them! . Jokes and funny stories are always good ice-breakers after you've talked about a problem for a long time. The joke doesn't need to be a knee-slapper, but if it's said at the right time, it'll have a huge effect. Don't be afraid to make fun of yourself. Making fun of the person you're cheering up is hard. Making fun of yourself is easy: Highlight a time when you embarrassed yourself, did something stupid, or got caught in a situation where you were way over your head. Your friend will appreciate the humor. Gifts on Christmas and birthdays, thoughtfulness on Valentine's Day and other holidays, it's all pretty par for the course. But being thoughtful on the 34th Tuesday of the year is something they'll never expect. When you're not expecting it, gifts are even more meaningful. Think about what that person loves the most in the world and see if you can't surprise them with it. Maybe they love food; so surprise them with dinner, or get them cooking classes. Maybe they love movies or musicals; so surprise them with a movie night or tickets...

TL;DR in English:


Commit to a regular schedule. Breathe deeply. Stretch after a workout.

The sukkah, which is the definitive Sukkot tradition, is quite simple to build. The four-sided booth must have at least three walls, while the fourth wall can be used as a door. One of the walls can be low or removable to allow passage into and out of the Sukkah. The material used to build the sukkah can vary, but because the Sukkah will only remain standing for seven days, a light material probably makes most sense. The only traditional requirements for the walls are that they be able to stand up in the wind. With this definition, even canvas stretched across a hard frame is suitable. In terms of size, you'll want your walls at least far enough apart that you'll have room to eat in the Sukkah. Depending on the size of your family, this can cause the size of your sukkah to vary greatly. Traditionally, the roofs of sukkah are made from plant matter, like branches, leaves, twigs, and so on. These materials can be purchased or taken from nature. According to tradition, the roof of a sukkah should be thick enough to provide shade and shelter during the day, but you should still be able to see stars through it at night. Making a roof from plant material is a way of giving remembrance to the Israelites who wandered in the desert for 40 years after leaving Egypt. During their travels, they had to live in temporary dwellings similar to the sukkah, using whatever materials were available to them for shelter. Decorating the sukkah is seen as a commendable show of Sukkot observance. Traditional decorations include harvest vegetables: Corn, pumpkins, and squash hung from the ceiling and beams or placed in corners. Other decorations include but are not limited to: paper chains, pipecleaner constructions, religious pictures or drawings, wax paper stained glass, or anything else that you or your children feel like creating. Children usually love to help decorate the sukkah. Giving your children a chance to draw on the walls of the sukkah and gather vegetables for display is a great way to get them involved in the holiday...

TL;DR in English: Use walls that can stand up to the wind. Add a roof made from plant matter. Decorate your sukkah. Alternatively, buy a ready-made sukkah from The Sukkot Project at www.sukkot.com. Leave your sukkah up until the end of Simchat Torah.

It is extremely important that you determine the correct type of differential fluid for your vehicle.  Ask the clerk at your local auto parts store to help you find the correct fluid to use.  Be sure to provide the year, make and model of your vehicle to get the right fluid. Your vehicle’s owner’s manual should also indicate the correct type of differential fluid to use. Be sure the vehicle is parked on a level surface that is strong enough to support the weight of the vehicle centralized beneath the jack.  Black top or concrete are the optimal surfaces.  Slide the jack beneath the vehicle at one of its designated jack points and use the handle to jack the vehicle up off the ground.  If you are unsure of where the designated jack points are for the rear of your vehicle, refer to the owner’s manual for guidance. Never jack up a vehicle on grass, gravel or dirt. Never work beneath a vehicle that is supported only by a jack.  Once the vehicle is jacked up to a sufficient height, slide jack stands under the vehicle at another designated jack point.   Jacks may lower the vehicle unexpectedly while you’re beneath it. Lower the vehicle onto the jack stands slowly to ensure they are positioned correctly. The rear differential is located between the two rear wheels of the vehicle.  While it is not always located directly in the center of the vehicle, it is usually close to the middle.  The differential may resemble a basketball or a pumpkin, prompting some to refer to it as “the pumpkin” of the vehicle.  Along the bottom of the differential there is a bolt that can be removed to drain the fluid. The drain bolt will resemble the one you might remove from an oil pan to drain the oil from the engine.

TL;DR in English: Purchase the right differential fluid. Jack the car up. Support the vehicle with jack stands. Locate the differential and drain bolt.

Muslim countries are very concerned with respecting defined boundaries between the sexes.  If you are new to Pakistan and its culture, it is best to err on the side of caution when addressing the opposite sex.  Keep in mind that there are strict rules about men addressing women and about women addressing men.  Most Muslim women will not respond to greetings from men outside their families, and many men consider greetings from women, especially non-Muslim women, as very improper and impolite. The complicated Persian and Arabic origin dialects make Urdu a difficult language for non-native speakers.  The accent can vary between regions, but the most appropriate greeting when speaking with a Muslim is the Salam greeting.  Use the phrase "As-Salam-u-Alaikum", which means "Peace be unto you".  This phrase is pronounced “us-saa-laam-muu-alie-kum.” As with other languages, the pronouns in the Salam greeting will change depending on who you are greeting.  For example, the Salam greeting would be different if you are meeting a male business associate versus meeting the girlfriend of a colleague.  To modify the Salam greeting, you must change the “you” in the phrase, which is represented by the “-kum” part of As-Salam-u-Alaikum:  As-Salāmu `alayk(a): use when greeting one male As-Salāmu `alayk(i): use when greeting one female As-Salāmu `alayk(umā): use when greeting two people of any gender As-Salāmu `alayk(unna): use when greeting multiple females only' As-Salāmu `alayk(umu): use when greeting a group of three or more people, where at least one is a male or if you are meeting a member of state such as a prime minister, president, king, etc. Hierarchy is very important in Pakistan so greetings must be extended in a particular order.  This is especially true if you are meeting people for business.  Show respect by arriving on time and greeting the oldest person or the person with the highest position in the organization first.  Then greet people in descending order of age or position.  If you do not know everyone in the...

TL;DR in English: Know the rules about addressing different sexes. Practice your pronunciation. Modify the greeting depending on your audience. Greet people in the appropriate order. Avoid physical contact unless it is initiated. Do not rush the conversation.

For approximately two days or so leading up to the birth, you should leave the mother hamster alone. She will be stressed and may become aggressive in order to protect the nest from perceived threats or intrusions, so it’s best to leave her alone. She can also become highly agitated after she gives birth--she should be disturbed as little as possible or else she might abandon her babies, or even, in some cases, kill them. You want to avoid disturbing the nest and leaving your scent on the infant hamsters, or their mother might abandon or kill them. The mother hamster may also become very aggressive if you try to handle her offspring and may attack your hand. If you do need to move a baby for some reason, use a spoon. This will ensure that you do not get your scent on the baby. You will most likely not have to do this--even if you see that a baby has strayed from the nest, mama hamster will soon go to retrieve it. While it may seem odd not to clean your hamster cage, it really is in the babies' best interest that you don’t interfere in the nesting space. Forgo cleaning the cage for two weeks after the babies are born.  If you notice that there is a really wet spot in the cage, you can  spot clean it but make absolutely sure that your spot cleaning won’t disturb the nest. Keep the room temperature around 70 degrees Fahrenheit, or 21.1 degrees Celsius. You should check the cage at least twice a day to make sure that there is enough food and water to support your hamsters. When the babies are a week old, you can begin to scatter food along the sides and floor of the cage. The mother hamster will go out and collect the food for her babes, but the little ones will also begin to explore and get food on their own.  Be sure that you are feeding the mother and baby hamsters a diet high in protein and fat content.  Avoid using a water bowl, as young hamsters may drown if they fall into the bowl. Use a shallow dish instead. You will want to make sure that the sipper bottle is low enough that the young hamsters can reach...

TL;DR in English: Do not disturb the nest. Do not handle the babies for at least two weeks. Do not clean the cage for the first two weeks. Provide plenty of food and water for the little hamsters. Take care of the babies if the mother hamster has died. Find a surrogate mother for orphaned babies that are 12 days or younger.

To improve your flexibility you need to stretch on a regular basis. Otherwise, your body will quickly return to its previous, inflexible state.  Stretch five days a week for approximately ten minutes. Don’t feel the need to “make-up” missed stretch time. Too much stretching can be counterproductive. If you miss a day, that’s okay—simply try to do better the following week. Deep, controlled breathing is essential for getting the most out of your stretches and avoiding pain. Breathing deeply brings more oxygen into your lungs which helps remove lactic acid from your muscles.  Before every stretch, take a slow, deep breath. As you move into the stretch, slowly release the breath. When you reach the limit of your stretch take another deep breath in. Slowly release the breath and move slightly further into the stretch. The increased oxygen in your blood should help you move further without additional pain. Contrary to popular wisdom, stretching is more effective and helpful if performed after a workout. This is because muscles stretch more when they’re warmed up and fatigued.  After you’ve completed your aerobic or anaerobic workout, move directly into your ten-minute stretching routine. If you don’t have time to workout before you stretch, take five minutes or so to either go for a walk or simply contract and release your muscles. Even this small amount of warm-up will improve your stretching routine.

TL;DR in English:


Rinse the berries and discard any that are mushy or rotten.

Talk to some of your coworkers during lunch breaks or coffee breaks and see if anyone is interested in helping you get a social committee started. It may be helpful to have a partner to organize the first meeting and stir up interest in the office. If no one volunteers to help, don’t be discouraged. You can still do it on your own and get people excited about a social committee. Ask your manager if you could schedule a quick meeting to talk about starting a social committee. Avoid just putting all the details in an email because your manager may not answer all the questions you have. If they direct you higher up the chain to another manager, schedule a brief meeting with that person instead. Some questions to ask management include whether you can use work hours for meetings, whether the company will offer funds for the committee to use, and what types of events management is comfortable with you planning. If a manager gives you the go-ahead to get started, send an email to your human resources department to let them know about your plan. Ask if they have any special forms you need to fill out or a list of rules and regulations for workplace committees. Inquire about how to expense purchases made by the committee if your company is offering to reimburse you.

TL;DR in English: Find a partner to help get things off the ground. Schedule a time to talk to management. Contact Human Resources for final approval.

Stay hydrated by drinking water, juice, and broth throughout the day. Get plenty of rest by staying home from work or school and staying in bed. Try over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medicines like Pepto-Bismol or Immodium A-D to help relieve symptoms. Follow a clear liquid diet of water, broth, juice, and sports drinks until you can handle solid food, then introduce the BRAT diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast.  Avoid fatty foods, dairy, caffeine, alcohol, and artificial sweeteners. Many cases of diarrhea are caused by viruses and will pass in a couple of days. It may also be the result of foodborne illness, which is far more common than you might think. If your symptoms get worse or don't resolve after 48 hours, see your doctor — you may need antibiotics or other medications. Stay hydrated — like with diarrhea, dehydration is the biggest risk when you're sick with vomiting. If you can eat without vomiting, eat small amounts of bland foods like toast, crackers, and jell-o. Once you can keep these down, add rice, cereal, and fruit to your diet. Increase what you eat slowly as your illness improves.  If you're too nauseated to drink anything, try sucking on ice chips to get small amounts of fluids. When you do drink liquids, try to have them at room temperature. Avoid cold or hot drinks. Don't eat spicy or fatty foods, which can further irritate your stomach. Let your stomach calm down after vomiting by waiting for 30 – 60 minutes afterward to eat or drink anything. Don't try heavy solid foods until at least 6 hours after you last vomited. If your stomach upset is from motion sickness, try a medication like Dramamine before traveling. If you have diarrhea or vomiting that lasts over 24 hours, or you cannot keep any liquids down for over 12 hours, see your doctor right away. Seek emergency care if you have any signs or symptoms of dehydration, such as:  Extreme thirst Dry mouth or skin Dark urine, or producing little or no urine Weakness, dizziness, fatigue, lightheadedness A fever of 102°F (39°C) or...

TL;DR in English: Cope with having diarrhea. Ease nausea and vomiting with a gentle diet. Seek emergency medical care if you show signs of dehydration. See your doctor if you have pain or a high fever. Unblock constipation naturally, if possible. Ease acid reflux and heartburn (GERD) with diet and medications, if needed. Soothe indigestion with warm fluids.

You don't need a tester to see your battery is dead most of the time. When you turn the key or press the start button, you won't get any cranking at all from your engine. Your headlights also won't come on, or if they do, they will be very weak. If your battery is almost dead, the car may crank some but won't actually start. While that's not always the battery, typically it is. Turning the car off before testing the battery is safer and will make the process easier for you. If you're not sure where your battery is, check your owner's manual. Lift the hood and look for a black rectangular box marked with positive (red) and negative (black) terminals. Your battery may be covered with a plastic hood. If it is, refer to your owner's manual. You'll likely need to unscrew a few screws to take it off. Put either device on DC voltage if it's digital. Place the end of the black probe on the negative terminal and the end of the red probe on the positive terminal. Watch the readout on the multimeter. You should be looking at volts on your reader.  If your battery is reading at or above 12.45 volts, your battery is still in good shape, and any problems you may be having are likely caused by something else. If your battery is reading below that, it won't consistently start your car, and you'll likely need to get a new one. A car battery tester will do the same job. All you need to do is place the black clip on the negative terminal and the red clip on the positive terminal. Most auto parts stores will come outside and test your battery for you to see if it's dead. They have a vested interest in doing this because they want you to buy a battery from them!  Most auto parts stores will even put in a new battery for you if you don't know how to do it. If your battery is dead, you can jump it or charge it to get to the store.

TL;DR in English: Look for signs your battery is dead when you start the car. Turn the car off and pop the hood so you can access the battery. Use a multimeter or voltmeter to check your battery. Check your battery at an auto parts store if you don't have a multimeter.

As a starter, it would be best to let your child feel the excitement that comes from biking by letting them be your little passenger.  While installing a bike seat would seem simple enough, it is important to keep in mind that there will be added weight on your bicycle and hence for starters, you should practice taking them around for a shorter period of time so you will get used to it. This would be a good start as these seats are well equipped with straps not only to keep their bodies in place but even for their feet so that they would not get injured by getting into contact with the bike chains. Bike seats are installed either at the front of the bike and are attached to its “stem” or headset, or it could be attached at the rear, sitting on top of a bike rack.  Front bike seats are connected to the stem, which connects your handlebars to the front fork of your bike.There should be at least a distance of 20 inches (50.8 cm) from your seat tube to the handlebars of the bike to allow sufficient space for the bike seat and the biker’s legs. You must also have ample space in your bike’s head tube for the installation of the seat.  The seat is often recommended for threaded headsets but if your bike has an adjustable thread-less one, it would do as well. Due to the nature of the attachment of the seat, you can place lighter children – preferably between 9 months and 3 years – in front bike seats. You should also take into consideration whether your state laws allow this type of child bike seats to be installed.  There are some states in the US that do not allow children to be seated at the front of a bike. Rear child bike seats on the other hand are installed either directly on to the seat tube or at the top of a bike rack.  Most of these bike seats come with their own installation instructions which can be easily done by a parent.   This type of seat is recommended for children older than 3 years who are still light enough for the seat. Various companies have additional features to their bike seats such as...

TL;DR in English: Consider attaching a child's bike seat to your own bike. Attach the bike seat to either the front or back of the bike. Consider any state laws. Install a rear bike seat.

Many car washes have combined other services and businesses with their car wash to increase revenue.  Additional services will make your car wash more attractive to customers and help your car wash stand out from the crowd. A convenience store restaurant, barber shop, or even an enhanced waiting area (e.g. television, free coffee, comfortable place to sit, etc.) are possible additions.  Ask yourself some questions before you invest in an add on service  Do I have enough space or will I need additional space? How much will it cost? What will be the return on my investment? Will people buy this service? Express detailing services are services (e.g. wax, sealant,  carpet shampoo) that can be done in 30 minutes or less and are done to maintain the appearance of your customer's vehicle. Because you already have the space and equipment, you can offer these services at a lower price than a free-standing detail shop. It is also more convenient for your customers to have their car washed and detailed at one location.  It is important that you complete the detailing portion of your services is completed quickly. The speed and low cost of the service make it attractive to your customers. Make sure that you advertise your detailing services to your customers. Check the prices of similar services at a free-standing detail shop to help you determine your prices.  Also, check the prices of other car washes in your area that offer these services so that you can be competitive. Text marketing is a low cost, effective way to market your business to your customers.  Your customers will redeem mobile coupons at a much higher rate than printed coupons. Even if a customer does not use a coupon, you are still building your brand and making your business known.  Choose a keyword (e.g. water, wash, clean) and advertise by saying, "Text water to 12345 to get special discounts, specials, or coupons." You could also say "Text 12345 to get $3 off your next car wash." It only costs one or two pennies to send a text message. Text your...

TL;DR in English: Add services. Offer express detailing services. Use text messages to contact customers. Offer monthly or unlimited passes.

Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries are all great options for your parfait. Use what you have available at home, or compile an assortment to equal 3/4 cup (75 grams). Rinse them gently under water and lay them out on paper towels or a clean dishtowel to dry.  You can also easily use frozen berries for your parfait—simply take them out of the freezer about 1 hour before you want to use them so they have time to defrost. You could use other types of fruits, too—sliced bananas or peaches would taste good, as would diced apples topped with a little cinnamon.

TL;DR in English:


Get rock climbing harnesses with belay loops. Put the harness on correctly. Use a safe locking carabiner with your belay device. Get good climbing shoes. Use climbing chalk.

Develop a routine that suits your schedule, and the more you follow that routine, the more comfortable the environment will feel. If you prefer to work out in the off-hours, continue doing that, or try a workout during peak times once you feel comfortable enough to do so. Working out at the same time every day or week will also help you recognize regulars and employees and find more friendly faces. Once you've established a basic routine with the classes and exercises that fit your needs, let yourself become confident in these activities before trying to master too many new things. Adding in new activities gradually will help keep you from getting overwhelmed and discouraged. Feeling clueless and trying to figure out what to do each time you go to the gym can be a source of anxiety. If you’re having a hard time finding a groove when working out, a personal trainer can help you figure out a routine that works best for you.  Having someone guide you through the workout process helps you know that you’re doing the exercises right and can boost your confidence. Even just five sessions can teach you some new exercises and take some of the guesswork and stress out of working out.

TL;DR in English: Find a time that works for you and stick with it. Build up your skills and comfort level before adding new elements to your workout. Sign up for a personal trainer.

to give it a more realistic look. If you didn’t buy a wig made specifically for a character, it’s typically a good idea to trim the hair on your synthetic wig. Hold a 1 inch (2.5 cm) section between your index and thumb at the point where you want to cut the hair. Hold a pair of sharp shears horizontally and trim the hair. Repeat until all the hair has been trimmed. Cut off little portions of hair at a time to avoid mistakes.  Cheaper synthetic wigs usually come with blunt cuts, so trimming the hair can give it a more natural appearance. You could also cut bangs into your wig. It’s okay to use minimal heat on a costume wig that won’t be used often. To add some volume and remove kinks, use a round brush and a blow dryer on a low setting. If you want waves, put the synthetic wig into Velcro rollers, and put it into the microwave for no more than 30 seconds. Do not put the wig in the microwave if it has any metal clips attached to it. Cheap synthetic wigs often have an unnatural shine. You can dull the shine a bit by using dry shampoo. Spray all of the wig with the dry shampoo of your choice. Then, use a stainless steel brush to brush through the wig. It’s easiest to do this step when the wig is on a foam head.

TL;DR in English: Trim the wig Use gentle heat styling to add curls or volume. Apply dry shampoo to remove excess shine from the wig.

Deep, focused breathing is the heart of hatha yoga practice. To begin practicing correct breath, sit in a comfortable position and begin to breathe deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth.  As you inhale, lift your chest and allow your belly to expand. Think of the air filling your lungs from the bottom all the way to the top. When you exhale, press your navel towards your spine and press the air out of your lungs slowly and steadily. Think about the air at the top of your lungs leaving first, then the next layer, and so on. Make a whispered "ha" sound in the back of your throat as you exhale. With practice, you can exhale through your nose while still making this sound in your throat. As you get more skilled, you can try to find a pause after each inhalation and each exhalation, rather than rushing to breathe. In the pause after an inhale, recognize how full of life-giving air you are. After each exhale, feel the opening of space. While technically you don't need anything to do yoga, there are a number of props and other materials that can make it easier for you to get started in the practice.  You probably will want to get a yoga mat, which provides a non-slip surface as well as giving you some padding. You may want to get a thicker mat, such as a pilates mat or a regular exercise mat, if you are new to the practice or if you need more cushioning on a hard floor. You also may want to buy yoga blocks, which can help keep you grounded in bends if you are not flexible enough yet to bend all the way to the floor. Consider also including a couple of towels or a throw blanket with your yoga gear as well. These can be used to cushion your joints, particularly if you have stiff knees. If you're just starting a yoga practice, beginner poses can help you build a better awareness of your body. Most beginner poses don't require tremendous balancing or flexibility, and have longer hold times.  Search online for good beginner poses. There are plenty of free resources online, with photos and step-by-step...

TL;DR in English: Focus on your breath. Get the props you need. Start with basic or beginner postures. Learn about the relationship between hatha yoga and raja yoga.

In a broad sense, "sin" refers to anything that falls short of the holiness of God. The easiest to spot are usually actions, but sins can also include thoughts and attitudes.  Certain actions are considered sins, but the desire to perform those actions is sinful, as well. For instance, wanting to commit adultery is a sin just as actually committing adultery is. Temptation is not a sin, though. If you're put in a compromising situation with someone you find physically attractive, you may feel tempted to act on that attraction. Actually acting on that attraction and committing adultery as a result, or imagining the act of committing adultery even without doing it, is the sin. Simply feeling tempted to do so is not. Even though mankind was created in the image of God, the fall of Adam and Eve—the first humans—signified the fall of all humanity. As a result, humans are sinful by their very nature. In other words, you don't have to be taught how to sin. Sin is already firmly fixed inside of you at the very core of your being from the time of your birth. When Jesus died on the cross, He carried the sins of humanity with Him. Christ's sacrifice canceled out the debt of original sin. In the Old Testament, animal sacrifices were used as a way to repent for the sins of flesh. Even these sacrifices were imperfect, though, so the stain of original sin still remained. As both Son of God and Son of Man, Jesus became the “perfect sacrifice,” capable of freeing the human soul from the chains and punishment of original sin. " Accepting Christ and being freed from sin does not mean that you will never do another wicked thing ever again. Christ's sacrifice freed your spirit from the shackles of sin. Your flesh—including your body, mind, and heart—will still have to deal with everyday sin. Your soul can be free from sin even though your body still sins. Being free from sin on a soul level should mean that you also seek freedom from sin on a physical level, though, even though it can never be permanently reached.

TL;DR in English: Define sin. Accept the sinful nature of humanity. Understand the significance of Christ's sacrifice. Know what it means to be "free from sin.

Take your boat to areas that would be suitable for grouper, like near coral reefs or underwater cliffs. When you begin to troll, make sure you are doing so off the rocks or your line might get snagged. Aim for the sandy areas around the rocks or areas where you think grouper are swimming.  Large amounts of grouper live in the Bahamas, Gulf of Mexico, South Carolina, and Florida.  Circle back to areas where you felt bites, as these are likely fish prone areas.  If an area is unsuccessful, change locations. Keep a steady speed as you troll the area. Going faster than 12 knots may cause your lure or bait to get dislodged from your line. When using live baits, make sure that you are trolling at lower speeds. Leave slack on the line when you are dropping your bait. As you begin to move your boat, the line will straighten out. Counting to ten will let the bait reach the bottom of the water. Your bait should be bumping on the bottom periodically, but not getting hung up on anything.  You can use artificial or live bait while you troll. Check your line often if you are using bait to make sure that it hasn't become dislodged. Lock your reel and wait for a bite on your line. When you feel a bite, make sure to reel as hard as you can and raise your rod. You'll see the tip of your rod bend significantly when you've hooked a fish. Your rod should naturally bend by rubbing against the bottom of the ocean. The momentum of your boat will help you pull grouper out of rocks or reefs if it tries to escape.

TL;DR in English: Find a grouper prone part of the ocean. Drive your boat at 3-7 knots. Drop your bait into the ocean and count to ten. Lock your reel and wait.

The climber and belayer must both wear harnesses designed and tested for rock climbing. Make sure the harness has a waist belt, tie-in point, belay loop, and buckles.  Some harnesses use the same point for tie-in and the belay loop. You can purchase climbing gear at most stores that sell outdoor recreational equipment. You may be able to rent harnesses and other equipment for indoor climbing at your gym. Many universities that offer outdoor recreational programs will allow students, faculty, staff, or alumni to rent climbing equipment. Step into the harness as you would a pair of pants. Your legs go through the leg loops, with the pair of elastic straps (called risers) that attach the loops to the belt facing the back. Pull the waist belt up over your hips, with the tie-in point and belay loop facing the front. Use the buckles on the waist band and leg loops to adjust the harness so that it fits comfortably. Purchase a locking carabiner that is designed for use as climbing gear. Since the carabiner is the only thing keeping the rope and belay device attached to your harness, it will need to be strong and sturdy. Climbing carabiners are available at stores that sell outdoor recreation equipment. Climbing shoes are designed to be flexible and to have excellent grip. A good climbing shoe should have soft, sticky rubber soles that offer plenty of friction.  You can purchase climbing shoes from outdoor recreation or sporting goods stores. You may also be able to rent climbing shoes at your gym. If you choose to rent climbing shoes, make sure the soles are in good condition. Chalk is useful for reducing moisture on your palms and enhancing your grip, whether you’re climbing or controlling the rope. You can purchase climbing chalk at sporting goods or outdoor recreation stores.  Note that some gyms do not allow chalk or have restrictions on what kind of climbing chalk you can use. Your gym may provide climbing chalk. Call ahead to find out whether you need to bring your own.

TL;DR in English:


Get her number if you don't already have it. Friend her on social media if you'd prefer. Message her casually asking for a date. Suggest a specific activity if you'd prefer a more planned approach. Use a more exciting approach to suggest something out of the ordinary. Invite her to something you already have plans for.

Seems a little ridiculous, on the outside, huh? What kind of person at rock bottom has the will (or maybe the means) to exercise? But the thing is you can't think of these things in such a linear fashion. In fact, you gotta think backwards. Does the successful person exercise or does the exerciser become successful? Is it the chicken or the egg we should be addressing? The first thing to go when you're down in the dumps is your body. You lie in bed all day, only greeting the sun to tell it to go away. To make matters worse, it's a vicious cycle that only propagates itself. Your body starts to drag and then your mind goes with it. When you exercise, your mind starts taking cues from your body instead of the other way around. You feel better, you look better, and you are better when you exercise -- enabling you to tackle the other parts of this insane world. All of a sudden it becomes hours upon hours of TV dinners, boxed wine, tubs of ice cream, and piles of self-loathing. After the binge, you feel absolutely terrible -- thus forcing the process to repeat. The only thing you can do then is lie on the couch and pray for a release from the impending indigestion. Not very productive, huh? Food should make you feel energized, not lethargic and full of reproach. After a healthy meal, your body feels better and you feel better. Are you noticing a pattern? Getting out of a rock bottom is about feeling good enough (not being good enough) to do something about it. Eating healthy is part of the mental trickery to get your mind speeding down the track to Awesome Town. For the record, this point is not at all endorsing materialism or vanity. That being said, looking good on the outside can make you feel good on the inside. So after you take that shower (post-workout), throw on a nice outfit and go socialize. You've earned it. Knowing you look good can change your outlook on everything -- and how people treat you too (sad, but true). You'll find an inner source of confidence that can ultimately change your behavior (for...

TL;DR in English: Start exercising. Concentrate on eating more healthily. Make an effort on the outside.

Contact your doctor or your child's pediatrician for a list of recommended speech and language therapists. Your healthcare professional will be able to provide a referral based on the needs of the patient, which allows for a more targeted approach to care. Also, if your doctor provides a referral it is more likely that the professionals will coordinate care to ensure a complete and effective approach to treatment. Most referrals provided by healthcare professionals will be to private clinics. While they tend to have more targeted approaches to care, they also tend to be more costly. If you are looking for a speech therapist for a child who is older than 3, contact the child's school or school district. School districts are responsible for all special education programs (including speech therapy) until the child graduates from high school. Contact the special education department at your child's school to schedule an evaluation or to speak to someone regarding referrals. Early intervention programs service children under 4 years of age, or who are not of school age yet. Every state has a special education department that manages early childhood intervention. Contact your state department directly to receive a list of programs available in your county and area.  The Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center has a list of contact information for each state's special education department.  You do not need a medical diagnosis or professional judgement to make a referral. As soon as a delay is suspected, families are invited to make a referral for services. Local colleges or universities who have audiology or speech therapy programs may offer assessments and treatment provided by college students or interns. The interns are shadowed by fully licensed professionals and are usually under the direction of a fully licensed clinical director.  A few benefits of this option are the ability to help students in their professional endeavors and a lower cost than private providers. One disadvantage of this option includes...

TL;DR in English: Get a referral from your family doctor. Contact your child's school. Utilize an early intervention program. Check with local colleges.

You could feel the diaper for fullness or "being squishy"  though sometimes the diaper brand may be so absorbent that you wouldn't be able to feel for the fullness and sometimes you could accidentally squeeze out the very thing you didn't want to come out in the first place (e.g. feces, poop). You could look at the diaper or pants the child is wearing for signs of leakage or stains but by then it would probably be too late and diaper rash would have set in and you would have to rummage through all your baby first aid things only to find the empty tube of diaper rash cream. Look down the diaper. This is easier if you have a mobile child.

TL;DR in English: Find a preferred method for checking the status of the diaper.

The chain rule is a rule for derivatives that you use when the original function combines a function within another function. The chain rule says that, for two functions f(x){\displaystyle f(x)} and g(x){\displaystyle g(x)}, the derivative of the combination of the two can be found as follows: If y=f(g(x)){\displaystyle y=f(g(x))}, then y′=f′(g)∗g′(x){\displaystyle y^{\prime }=f^{\prime }(g)*g^{\prime }(x)}. Using the chain rule requires that you first define the two functions that make up your combined function. For square root functions, the outer function f(g){\displaystyle f(g)} will be the square root function, and the inner function g(x){\displaystyle g(x)} will be whatever appears under the radical sign. For example, suppose you wish to find the derivative of 3x+2{\displaystyle {\sqrt {3x+2}}}. Define the two parts as follows:  f(g)=g=g12{\displaystyle f(g)={\sqrt {g}}=g^{\frac {1}{2}}} g(x)=(3x+2){\displaystyle g(x)=(3x+2)} To apply the chain rule to the square root of a function, you will first need to find the derivative of the general square root function:   f(g)=g=g12{\displaystyle f(g)={\sqrt {g}}=g^{\frac {1}{2}}}  f′(g)=12g−12{\displaystyle f^{\prime }(g)={\frac {1}{2}}g^{-{\frac {1}{2}}}} f′(g)=12g{\displaystyle f^{\prime }(g)={\frac {1}{2{\sqrt {g}}}}}   Then find the derivative of the second function:  g(x)=(3x+2){\displaystyle g(x)=(3x+2)} g′(x)=3{\displaystyle g^{\prime }(x)=3} Recall the chain rule, y′=f′(g)∗g′(x){\displaystyle y^{\prime }=f^{\prime }(g)*g^{\prime }(x)}, and then combine the derivatives as follows:  y′=12g∗3{\displaystyle y^{\prime }={\frac {1}{2{\sqrt {g}}}}*3} y′=12(3x+2∗3{\displaystyle y^{\prime }={\frac {1}{2{\sqrt {(3x+2}}}}*3} y′=32(3x+2{\displaystyle y^{\prime }={\frac {3}{2{\sqrt {(3x+2}}}}}

TL;DR in English: Review the chain rule for functions. Define the functions for the chain rule. Find the derivatives of the two functions. Combine the functions in the chain rule.

If you're planning on pimping out your ride, it's a good idea to make an overall plan, taking the way each of your upgrades will affect the others. Some aesthetic changes will clash against each other. Even worse, you can run out of space to fit all of the pieces on your car. Run all of the ideas past a car expert before making any financial commitments to them. A fresh coat of paint is arguably the most transformative thing you can do to a car's appearance. If all you're looking for is a better look, you might find a paint job does everything you want it to. Cars can be painted with specialized spray paint in your garage. Due to the value of your vehicle, it's very important to be slow and consistent with your paint.  If you're painting the car from home, don't forget to give your car a primer coat beforehand.  Car modification garages can offer more intense paint jobs with graphics like flames. These are very stylized, but make sure your car model is worthy of the flair before you commit to something so flashy. Graphic flames on a Toyota Camry won't get you the sort of attention you're looking for. Tinted windows add fast class to a vehicle. The mystery factor and privacy of tinted windows can make even an average car look posh by comparison. By replacing factory parts, you may void your vehicle's warranty. Check with the manufacturer before proceeding. Your headlights and taillights draw a lot of visual attention, as they're designed to be reflective. Changing them for a snazzier design is relatively inexpensive by car mod standards. The subtle difference it makes to your vehicle's appearance won't go unnoticed by those who know where to look. Make sure your taillight modifications are road-friendly. Although you can change your car's look by replacing the lights on it, you still want to make sure they comply with road regulations. While a lot of car modification focuses on the outside presentation, you can revamp your experience on the vehicle by changing the seating. Most stock car seating is...

TL;DR in English: Make a plan beforehand. Paint your car. Get tinted windows. Replace your head and taillights. Reupholster the seats.

Before you can ask a girl out through text, you'll need to be able to contact her! Get her number from a friend, or ask her for her number if you know her. To play it casually, you can ask her for her number in case you have homework questions or another school-related topic.  Try saying something like, "Hey, can I have your number so we can chat about math class?" Alternatively, you could simply say, "Hey, what's your phone number?" if she seems friendly. If you don't have her number, and aren't sure how to get it, don't worry! She may be reachable on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, or another social media site! Ask her friends which one she uses, and friend her through the site.  Friending people from school is pretty common, so if you're nervous about asking her for her number, this is a great way around that problem! Some people use different last names on social media, so make sure you found the right profile before sending the friend request. Sending a message, whether via text or online messaging system, is a laid-back way of asking her out without a whole lot of pressure. There’s no shame in asking someone on a date through messaging these days, and it gives her a chance to reply when she's available! Leave a private message on social media saying, “Hey, what’s up? I’d like to get to know you better. Would you like to hang out this weekend?”  For example, “Are you free on Tuesday or Wednesday evening?” She may ask “Why?” or respond, “Yes.”  Follow up with, “Why don’t we hang out for a bit? I have some free time.”  If she says yes to hanging out, suggest a time and place. Be prepared for her to suggest a time that works for her, and try to be available when she is. If you aren't, suggest an alternative to keep the date alive! If asking her out for an open-ended date seems to scary, try asking her to go to specific event with you. For example, you might say something like "Hey, do you want to go to a concert on Wednesday?" or "I heard the new horror movie is really scary, would you want to go...

TL;DR in English:


Look to spiritual or religious icons, idols, or other important representations. Burn certain herbs or scents to dissipate negative energy. Rearrange or change the physical environment of a location.

People tend to show you the very best of themselves during the early stages of a relationship. Chances are that your new partner isn’t going exhibit behavior towards you that reveals his or her tendency to blame others, to have a sense of entitlement, or view themselves as superior. However, you’ll have a better chance of observing the individual exhibit or communicate this type of behavior with others.Pay attention because if you don’t, you’ll probably be next. The blaming partner makes it appear that others are at fault for the negative feelings and misfortune.  You’ll find yourself thinking that you are awesome compared to the other folks they’ve dated in the past. For example, your partner might say, “My last boyfriend was such a downer. We could never have an enjoyable outing.  I’m so glad you’re not like them.” A partner with a sense of entitlement might make a statement such as, “With all that money I spent on my ex girlfriend on all those expensive dates, I deserved to have sex any time that I wanted it!” Be aware that you will likely suffer emotional abuse from an entitled individual because they view their needs and desires to be more important than yours. A partner with a sense of superiority has the potential of being an emotionally abusive partner.  They gain their feelings of superiority by making others appear to be inferior. For example, to show their superiority over a coworker, they might say, “He doesn’t deserve that promotion.  He only attended some little university that know one ever even heard of. I graduated from an ivy league college, for goodness sakes.” Date rape occurs when the assailant and victim are familiar with each other in some way. There’s a very small number of men who commit the majority of date rapes. Typically, these men target women when they are most vulnerable, such as under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or when they are alone.  When you are on a date, avoid drinking to the point of intoxication or being under the influence of drugs. It is best to never leave...

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to red flags. Recognize the potential blamer. Keep an eye out for feelings of entitlement. Avoid partner with inflated egos. Lessen the chances of becoming a victim of sexual assault.

You could use a non-bendy straw, but the bendy kinds top portion is just the right size. Don't have one of those? Cut off a portion of your straw that's about 2 inches (5 cm) in length. Obviously, you want a white straw. Red stripes could be blood, but only the dimmest of bulbs will be fooled.    Force it to fold in half, forming a crease, and then cut each end to a point. You can make it super pointy and long or you can make it more subtle. How steep of an angle do you want to go for? Do this for both halves of the straw on both the top and bottom.    They should be weakened enough that the two come apart with just a bit of tugging. You now have two fang-like caps for your teeth. Instead of leaving the front and back, cut off one fang on each, leaving a band to wrap around your teeth. If you left both sides, you'd be able to see two different fangs on each tooth. This way, the fang will stay on with the band of straw that wraps behind and the fang will only stick out the front.    Those are the teeth that already come to a point almost naturally. You could put them over other teeth if you really felt like it, but that might not get the vampire point across. These aren't super sturdy. You'll be able to talk and drink (ideally with a straw), and if you eat, try to eat at the back of your mouth. The benefit of these, however, is that they're super easy to take out and put right back in!

TL;DR in English: Cut off the tip of a straw right before the part that bends. Fold it in half and cut the open ends to a point. Pull them apart and cut off one side. Put them over your canines.

A cold punch bowl will ensure that your punch stays the right consistency for longer. As for the sherbet, the amount depends on the quantity needed. Figure about 1 large scoop of sherbet per person. For a glass just for yourself, chill your favorite glass in the freezer. Take it out along with the sherbet, add in a scoop (or two if you're feeling adventurous), and fill with the appropriate juices. Mix it up and you're good to go! If your sherbet was rock hard out of the freezer, it may take a few minutes to combine. The punch should be just about perfect when the sherbet has just started melting.  For lime sherbet punch, add the ginger ale and pineapple juice. Don't have ginger ale? You could use any lemon-lime or citrus-y soda. For raspberry sherbet punch, add the lemon-lime soda and fruit juice. Raspberry compliments most flavors. For orange sherbet punch, add the ginger ale, orange juice, and pineapple juice. You could also experiment with mango or pomegranate if you'd like. Are your ratios of sherbet to liquid how you like it? Should it be sweeter or tangier? Now is the time to adjust with more sherbet or additional juices. Is it too thick? Too thin? How could it be better? If the recipe doesn't taste like you imagined, get creative! What other juices or sodas could you throw in the mix to get that zing you're looking for? Sherbet punch has a sweet bite that can be quite addictive. You probably won't need to worry about leftovers! These are best served immediately, in chilled glasses if possible. Add a wedge of lemon, lime, orange, or a raspberry or cherry (heck, all 5 if you'd like!) for additional presentation points!

TL;DR in English: Scoop sherbet into a chilled punch bowl. Mix the sherbet and soda/juices until it's a uniform consistency. Give it a taste test. Serve the punch to waiting guests, or just enjoy it by yourself.

Look for dry grass, leaves, tree bark, pine needles, or any other small flammable materials you can find in the area. Tinder needs to be material that is easy to light and will produce a large flame so you can start your fire. If you find trash or paper in the area, that can make for great tinder as well. Kindling needs to be material that will catch easily when you light your tinder. Use dry sticks, branches, or tree bark to serve as your kindling. You can break larger branches into smaller pieces to use for kindling as well. Before you start your fire, you should collect enough fuel to keep it going. Look for dry wood in the area and stack near where you plan to start your fire so you can easily add more fuel when you need it. Look for dry, brittle wood because fresh or green wood will take longer to catch.  Hardwoods like oak and maple will burn for a long period of time. Dry tree stumps work great as fuel for a fire. Clear dry, even area of leaves, branches, or other items that could catch and spread the fire. Form a teepee structure by bunching up your tinder material and stacking the kindling together around it. Then take your larger fuel logs and lean them against each other to form a frame around the tinder and kindling. Leave a small opening so you can light the tinder. Take a flat piece of wood and scrape a small groove into the center of it. Use another branch to plough up and down the groove to use the friction to build up heat. After a few minutes of work, the heat will ignite the wood. Act fast and light your tinder to start the rest of the fire.  Use a dry piece of wood to make your fire plough. Anchor the fire plough by kneeling on it to keep it still. A fire is going to make it much easier for you to survive in the woods. Use it to keep warm so you don't get hypothermia. Cook your food on the fire and use the heat to boil water to kill any contaminants. Once you get your fire started, try to keep it from going out. When you go to sleep, place a large log on it so the coals will last until morning.

TL;DR in English: Find small, dry material to use as tinder. Gather small twigs and branches to use for kindling. Collect larger logs for fuel. Build a teepee structure with the tinder and kindling. Create a fire plough to ignite the kindling and start the fire. Use a fire to keep warm, cook your food, and purify your water.

. You might feel like you are too old to go, but if you throw on a cool costume and wear a mask, your neighbors will never know! You're never too old for free candy. If you have a younger sibling or a neighbor who is younger, you could even volunteer to take them trick-or-treating and be their chaperone. That way, you will have a younger kid with you when you go. Do a quick internet or library search to find out what places near you have a haunted history, and check them out with your friends on Halloween.  Many cities have historical landmarks that are run as museums, many with haunted histories. Check your community calendar to see if there are any haunted tours of these locations on Halloween. Make sure you have permission to enter any place you choose to go explore. Don't trespass! Decorate just like you would for a big party, but keep it small and fun! Just invite a few friends over and pile up the sleeping bags on the floor in one room.  Tell some scary stories once it gets dark. Keep the lights low and challenge each other to see who can tell the scariest story. Play some pranks on your friends and try to scare them every chance you get! Take turns playing “Bloody Mary” in the bathroom: go in one at a time, shut the lights off, and repeat “Bloody Mary” three times in the mirror. Try not to get too scared! Find a dark, creepy place and play hide and seek once it gets dark. Use flashlights and take turns being the seeker. You can do it in your own backyard, or around your neighborhood.  Try using flashlights with different colored bulbs. This will make it even spookier when searching for players in the dark. Play in teams or pairs. This way, one person won't be left out in the dark when everyone else has already been found. Make sure you have permission to enter any place you want to play at, and make sure you aren't disturbing anyone when you play.

TL;DR in English: Go trick-or-treating Check out haunted places in your city. Have a spooky slumber party. Play hide and seek in a spooky place.

Many people around the world look to spiritual or religious icons and other items as ways to bless themselves, bestow fortune, or clear negative energy from a place. Depending on your faith, you might want to consider one of these items as a way of cleansing negative energy and bestowing the grace of god or god’s fortune on yourself or to clear negative energy from a place.  Visit a shrine or holy place. Use holy water, if you’re Catholic. Set out an idol or picture of a deity that brings you good fortune. For instance, Hindus look toward Lord Ganesh as a deity that removes obstacles. The burning of certain herbs and scents has long been associated with cleaning negative energy. The people of different regions, faiths, and cultures favor different herbs or scents to clear negative energy. As a result, consult local practices or faith leaders.   Consider burning sage. Think about burning frankincense resin. Try burning copal incense sticks. Experiment with smudging. Open your windows and light sage or a combination of sage and other herbs. Gently breathe the sage/herbs in and metaphorically wash your hands in the smoke. Let the herbs burn out. If you associate a place with negative energy, stress, or a bad experience, consider rearranging the physical environment there (if you can). By changing the physical environment, you'll be able to alter the energy and the way you perceive a specific location.   Move furniture around your office to create a new feel. Paint your home or rearrange your furniture to help you disassociate it with a bad experience. Consider Feng Shui as a way of arranging your furniture at home. Through balancing your furniture and promoting flow, you'll create better and more positive energy at home. Clean your car to make it a more structured and happier place to spend time.
