Laser hair removal uses a laser beam to target and destroy dark hair follicles, leaving your skin nearly hairless. Look online for popular laser hair removal services in your area and look for reviews of the clinics offering them. Call to ask about possible treatments for removing your ear hair, and get pricing information so you can comparison-shop between clinics.  Ask clinics what financing options they offer (e.g. monthly payments). Make sure that the laser hair removal is done by an experienced doctor with a relevant specialty, like dermatology or cosmetic surgery. Because laser hair removal works in sequence with your hair growth cycle, a specific schedule of treatments will have to be established for effective hair removal. Make time for 4-6 sessions, held about a month apart, which is the standard procedure for most patients. Note that given the small area that ear hair covers, ear hair removal sessions should last only a short time. To protect your skin and ensure the results of your laser treatments, avoid the sun for approximately 6 weeks before your first appointment. Getting a lot of sun can greatly increase the risk of skin lightening during treatment. Keep your ears protected by wearing a wide brimmed hat outdoors before and during your hair removal sessions, or by applying sunscreen with a high SPF to your ears.

TL;DR in English: Research clinics that offer laser hair removal. Set aside time for treatments. Protect your skin.

A favorite game for many babies and toddlers, this game can be played anywhere with no extra baby toys needed. To play this game, simply take any small objects you can, stack them together, and then knock the stack down. Baby will have fun knocking the stack down on their own too! This game is best done with toy blocks, but you can use any items you can find (so long as they won't break when you knock the stack over).  You can use plastic cups, small boxes, soft sponges and food items, among other small objects that can be found in your house. Toy blocks are cheap, easy to find (sets can be frequently found at garage sales for about a $1), and also easy to store so if you think you'll be entertaining babies on occasion then you might want to consider keeping a set just as a backup option. As long as you're willing to watch them vigilantly, a sink or bath-full of water is an easy way to keep a baby entertained for about an hour. You might not want to actually wash them, since too much soap can be irritating for their skin, but you can let them splash in the water with a couple of toys.  Again, this can be very dangerous. Babies can drown if you turn your back for even a second. Even just a little water in their lungs can be dangerous. If you want to take this route, you'll need to be really serious about paying attention. It's also important to regularly clean any bath toys your baby plays with to prevent mold from developing. Empty out excess water after each use. Then, let them soak in a solution of 3 parts hot water to 1 part white vinegar for about 10 minutes, before rinsing with plain water and drying completely.  If you don't have bath toys for babies, you can make a hand puppet out of a washcloth or a boat out of a Tupperware container. Babies can usually understand much more language than they are able to communicate. They'll be especially easy to engage if you read the books in the right way for a baby. Don't just read the text like you would for a child who can understand the words: take a more...

TL;DR in English: Play the stacking game. Let them play in the bath. Read a book. Do an art project. Play shadow games. Bring out the bubbles.

Pour 1 tbsp oil into your pan and heat it until it starts to shimmer. Use 1/2 of a fresh medium onion, diced. You can use a white, yellow, or purple onion. Any one will taste great, so use your favorite kind or whatever you have on hand. Stir your onions frequently and cook them in the oil for about 5 minutes or until they turn translucent. Be careful adding the fresh onion, once your oil has heated up, it may pop and sizzle when you pour the onion into the pan. Peel and dice two garlic cloves and cook with the onions for another minute. Garlic is delicious and has great health benefits, but it is also very strong in flavor. If you are sensitive to garlic, just add one clove or half a clove. Drop in 1 can of drained and diced green chilies, and 1 lb of green tomatoes or tomatillos, roughly chopped. You can use fresh green chilies too. Add 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 cup vegetable broth and 1/2 cup water to the skillet. Many store bought broths have preservatives and additives so you may be better off making your own vegetable broth. Bring your sauce to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Your tomatoes should start to break down, giving your sauce a thicker and richer consistency. This is a great time to get creative with your sauce. Taste it as it heats up and add an additional pinch of salt or oregano if you desire. At this point, you are ready to pour your sauce onto a dish of freshly assembled enchiladas. Just sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cilantro and use it immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later. You can adjust the amount of cilantro to your taste.

TL;DR in English: Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the onion. Add the garlic. Pour in your chilies. Spice it up! Cook your sauce. Remove from heat.

To create a leather cuff, you will need strips of tooled leather, leather glue, a leather needle, waxed linen thread, and a button snap or clasp for the ends of the bracelet. Use a ruler to measure a strip of leather 2 inches (5.08 cm) wide, by the length of your wrist plus one inch. Cut the leather to size with a pair of sharp scissors or utility knife. Attach your cut and sized leather to a larger, tooled piece of leather with leather glue. Use your fingers to smooth out any wrinkles, and allow it to dry overnight. Adding a second layer of leather to your bracelet will give a more finished look. Trim the edge off the tooled leather to make it the same size as your original strip. You should now be left with a nearly completed double-sided leather strip. Use a leather needle and waxed linen thread to stitch the cuff together. Any stitch is appropriate; the stitching is simply securing the edges of the leather and giving a more sophisticated look. Use your needle and thread or the leather glue to secure your clasps to either end. With the completion of this step, you're finished!

TL;DR in English: Get your supplies prepared. Measure and cut your leather. Layer your leather. Cut the bracelet to size. Stitch the edges. Add your clasps.

with greater attentiveness. If you are in a class, the first thing you should do is to pay attention. Try reviewing what you learned by asking yourself questions about the chapter or lesson your learning about, try to understand it more. If your boredom is a result of not understanding the class materials, seek help. The whole point of education is to learn, not to behave as if you know what you're doing when you don't. If you ask for help, teachers view you as motivated and willing to learn, not as stupid. You might also ask your parents about getting a tutor, if the gaps in your knowledge are quite large. A tutor involves one-on-one learning and most of the time, you'll find this results in much faster learning and easier understanding, allowing you to catch up quickly.  If any teacher implies that you're stupid, then it's time to see someone about the teacher's approach to teaching, not see this as a reflection on you. Any person who has the sense to ask for help deserves to be helped. Study more effectively. There are plenty of online guides for improving your study methods so that you understand the subject matter better and know how to improve your scores. If you feel that the work level is beneath your capability, ask if you can be moved to a more challenging class, or even to change your year level. This will require your parent's involvement and there will need to be proof that you can work at a higher level. Begin by talking to your parents, then have them arrange meetings with the school. For example, if all you get is worksheets all the time, ask your teacher if it is possible to learn in other ways, such as through reading as a class, watching videos, doing experiments or visiting places, etc. It might be that your teacher hasn't realized that there is an overload of one style of presenting the material to you as a class, and simply drawing attention to how it's not working might result in a change for the better.

TL;DR in English:


Buy the remaining beekeeping suit essentials. Put on the hat and gloves. Put on the shirt. Tuck the shirt into your pants. Put on your socks and shoes.

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.

This is essentially the Irish equivalent of toasting “Merry Christmas” in English.  "Nollaig shona" means "happy Christmas," and "duit" means "to you," so it directs the toast to the person being toasted. Pronounce this seasonal toast as null-ig hun-ah ditch. This toast is appropriate to use on New Year's Eve and wishes for health and prolonged life.  It translates roughly to, "may we be alive at this time next year." This is another phrase that is difficult to translate directly. The first part, "Go mbeire muid mbeo ar" means, "may we live again" and the latter part, "an am seo arís," means "this time next year." You should pronounce this toast as go merr-ih-meedh mee-oh err on om shioh ah-reesh. Offer this toast to the bride and groom to wish blessings upon their future family.  Roughly translated, the toast means, "may there be a generation of children on the children of your children." Essentially, you are wishing for the newlyweds' family to continually expand and survive for many generations to come. Pronounce this wedding toast as sluckt schlock-ta er shlucht voor schlock-ta.

TL;DR in English: Shout "Nollaig shona duit" at Christmas. Use "Go mbeire muid mbeo ar an am seo arís" for New Year's. Say "Sliocht sleachta ar shliocht bhur sleachta" at a wedding.

from the egg white. Hold an egg over a cup and crack it open. Pass the yolk back and forth between the two shells until the egg white is in the cup. Put the yolk into another cup or jar.  Save the egg white for another recipe, such as meringues. You only need to pass the yolk once or twice to get the white out. Keep in mind that the egg yolk will add yellow to whatever color you use. Red will turn more orange, and blue will turn more green. You may be able to prevent this from happening by using more food coloring, however.  Food coloring is potent. Start with 2 to 3 drops. You can always add more later. Make sure that you use liquid food coloring. Use a fork or spoon to stir the yolk and food coloring together. You want the paint to be smooth, with no lumps, globs, streaks, or swirls. If the color is not quite right, add a few more drops of food coloring and stir again. The more food coloring you add, the darker the paint will be. Keep in mind that some colors will not turn out pure. For example, purple food coloring may turn out brown, no matter how many drops you add. You will need one egg yolk and one cup for each color that you will be making. Keep in mind that you may not be able to make every color in the rainbow using this method, such as white. You may be able to get black or brown by mixing enough colors together, however. You can put all of the egg whites into the same cup. You can use this paint just like you would any other tempera paint. When you are done using it, close the jar tightly and put it into the fridge. Try to use the paint within a few days. It is made from eggs, so it will eventually go bad.

TL;DR in English: Separate an egg yolk Add a few drops of food coloring into the egg yolk. Stir the yolk until it turns smooth. Make more colors if desired. Use the paint within a few days.

These do-not-mail lists are maintained by the major marketing associations that distribute the major mailing lists, but they do work. The US mail preference service will charge you one dollar ($1) to add your name to their opt-out list by mail, but it is free using their online form. In the UK, it's free of charge. If you do write your address or phone number, write alongside it something like, "Please do not sell or distribute my information, nor add to mailing lists." It's generally not necessary to send in warranty cards or "register" a warranty for the warranty to be valid, regardless of what the card may imply. Some items are sent in such bulk that they go to every resident on a postal route. These are addressed to "Resident," "Our Friends At," or some variant. Your postal carrier cannot, by law, determine what you consider "junk mail". All "resident" mail must be delivered as addressed.

To keep the bunny ears standing up, you need to add wire support. Use a pair of wire cutters to cut two pieces of 20 gauge hobby wire. Each piece should be long enough to form into an outline of the bunny ears with at least 5 inches (13-cm) of excess on either side of the bottom.  You can find 20 gauge hobby wire at most craft stores. You can substitute floral wire if you prefer. Once you’ve cut the pieces of wire to the proper length, use your hands to carefully bend it into roughly the same shape as each bunny ear. The wire forms should be slightly smaller than the darker felt ears.

TL;DR in English: Cut two pieces of wire. Bend the wire into the same shape as the felt.

Your bee-tight shirt and hat are the most important parts, but in order for your suit to work, you'll need a few more items. Remember that everything should be white or light in color:  Thick white sweatpants or work pants. Make sure they have tight elastic around the waist and ankles. You can also wear white workout pants if sweatpants are too hot. Tall socks. Thick gloves. Dishwashing gloves work just fine. Some beekeepers prefer to be bare-handed. Sturdy work boots. Look for boots that are ankle or calf length and made of leather or other durable material.  There should be enough room around the opening of the boot so you can tuck the bottom of the pants into them. Set the hat on your head and drape the veil down over your shoulders, bunching it around your neck. Pull up the gloves so that they cover your hands and wrists. Put it on so that the end of the veil is tucked under the shirt. Secure the shirt opening by pressing the velcro closed. Secure the velcro around the collar and sleeve openings. Check to make sure there are no gaps. Make sure the elastic on your pants is tight around the bottom of your shirt. Pull the elastic at the bottom of your pants over your socks. Put on your shoes, and tuck the bottom of your pants into your shoes before tying them. You are now ready to handle bees.

Treat blisters on your feet. Invest in shoe inserts designed for high heels. Plan your shoes for the occasion. Take off your heels during long stretches.

Use a medium-sized paintbrush, such as a 4 in (10 cm) brush, to paint the toy chest and lid a color of your choice. Paint with the grain in a back-and-forth motion until you have given everything an even coat.  You can leave the inside of the chest unfinished to save time and paint. If you used a solid wood instead of plywood or MDF, you can leave the box with a natural finish or use a wood stain to finish it instead of painting it. Let it dry completely so that you don’t mess up the paint or get paint on the hardware when you add the lid to finish assembling the chest. You can add other touches to decorate it when the paint is dry if you want. For instance, you could try painting on designs with stencils or gluing on letters to personalize the chest. Place the lid on top of the box so that the back edge is flush with the back of the box. Place the piano hinge so that 1 side is against the back edge of the lid and 1 side is against the back of the box. Screw it into place with the provided hardware or 1.5–2 in (3.8–5.1 cm) wood screws.  You can use 1 long piano hinge in the middle of the box and lid, or, alternatively, 2 shorter piano hinges at each corner. Piano hinges are a strip consisting of 2 metal sides joined by a continuous hinge all the way along the middle. They can be purchased at a hardware store or home improvement center. Lid supports will keep the lid from falling shut on its own when someone is rooting around for toys in the box. There are different types of lid supports, so you will need to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to attach them.  In general, you will just need to screw the lid supports to the inside of the back of the box and to the inside of the lower edge of the lid while it is open to attach them. You can buy lid supports at a hardware store or home improvement center. This is optional, but will make your new toy chest more mobile. Attach a caster wheel in each corner of the bottom of the chest using the provided hardware for the final touch.  If the caster wheels come with...

TL;DR in English: Paint the assembled box and the lid piece with acrylic or latex paint. Let the pieces dry for at least 1 hour before you attach the lid.

Ultraviolet B (UVB) therapy slows skin cell production, and may reduce the scale and dead skin buildup that is often associated with psoriasis. This therapy involves exposing affected skin to ultraviolet light for a brief period of time. The frequency of these treatments may depend on the condition of your skin or the type of UVB treatment. UVB therapy can be used to treat psoriasis that resists other forms of treatment.  Types of UVB therapy include broadband UVB therapy, narrow band UVB therapy, or limited daily exposure to natural sunlight (following your doctor's recommendations). Any type of UVB therapy may result in skin irritation or burns. Your doctor may recommend moisturizer or other topical treatments to reduce the severity of these side effects. For severe or hard-to-treat psoriasis, your doctor may recommend PUVA treatment, which combines a medication (psoralen) with exposure to UVA light. Psoralen helps UVA light penetrate deep into your skin in order to slow down the growth of new skin cells.  Psoralen may be administered as an oral medication (in pill or tablet form) or as a topical treatment. PUVA treatment may result in more severe side effects than UVB therapy, including nausea, headaches, and skin irritation. PUVA therapy may also increase your risk of developing skin cancer and cataracts. Sometimes phototherapy is combined with other forms of treatment. For example, your doctor may recommend combining UVB therapy with topical coal tar. The coal tar not only helps ease symptoms of psoriasis, but it can make your skin more receptive to UVB radiation.

TL;DR in English: Treat psoriasis with UVB therapy. Use psoralen plus ultraviolet A (PUVA) for severe psoriasis. Get combination light therapy.

Get a large, rimmed baking sheet out for the cashews. You do not need to line or coat the baking sheet in this method; however, if you’re concerned about the cashews sticking, you can line it with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil. Avoid using oil or nonstick cooking spray since these may impact the cooking process and final flavor. A single, even layer will promote even cooking. Try to avoid piling the cashews in multiple layers since they may roast unevenly. Remove them from the oven, then stir to distribute the heat evenly. Depending on your desired level of doneness, you can either stop here or continue roasting the cashews for another 8 to 10 minutes, stopping to stir after four minute intervals. Roasting the cashews for only five minutes will warm them up without impacting the taste and texture much; roasting them for a total of 12 to 15 minutes will give the nuts a more traditional roasted flavor and crunch. While the cashews roast, combine the rosemary, cayenne, sugar, salt, and butter in a large bowl. Set the bowl aside for now. You may skip the cayenne if you’d prefer roasted nuts without a kick of heat. Once the cashews are roasted to your desired level of doneness, remove them from the oven. Toss them in the rosemary-butter mixture until all nuts are evenly coated. Allow the nuts to cool slightly, for 10 to 15 minutes, tossing occasionally to redistribute the seasoned butter. Serve them immediately once cooled or store them in an airtight container, at room temperature, for up to two weeks. Note that if you only heated the cashews for five minutes instead of the full 12 to 15, you can serve them immediately while warm instead of waiting for them to cool.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Spread the cashews evenly on the baking tray to form one layer. Roast the cashews in the oven for five minutes. Meanwhile, combine the seasonings. Pour the finished cashews into the seasoning mixture. Cool before serving.

Combine 1 cup (240 ml) of distilled white vinegar with 1 cup (240 ml) of warm water in a spray bottle. Shake the solution to mix it thoroughly and dilute the vinegar. Make sure the spray bottle works by spraying the solution in the sink before using it on your carpet.  You can buy a spray bottle or you can use an empty one from an old cleaning solution. If you use a spray bottle that had something else in it previously, make sure to wash it out thoroughly before adding the new mixture. You don’t want to stain or contaminate your carpet with any unknown chemicals. Hold the spray bottle 3–4 in (7.6–10.2 cm) over your carpet and pull the trigger to apply the solution. Coat the entire stain with the solution so your carpet is completely saturated, and then let it soak in for 15 minutes.  Vinegar works great on dry or wet urine stains. Don’t pat the vinegar dry immediately since it needs to soak into the pad underneath the carpet to fully eliminate the odor. Use an old cleaning cloth or sponge and press onto the vinegar to soak up the liquid. Work across the entire stain so the carpet isn’t soaking wet. When you’re finished, immediately wash the cloth or throw it away. Wear cleaning gloves if you don’t want to get any vinegar or urine on your hands while you’re working. Coat the entire surface of the stain with a thin layer of baking soda and press it into the fabric with a cloth. Once the baking soda is applied, let it sit to pull out the moisture and odor from deep in your carpet. The baking soda will work back up toward the surface and form a thin crust on your carpet.  If you’re worried about the vinegar and baking soda changing the color of your carpet, test the mixture in a small, inconspicuous area before covering the stain. For an extra odor-fighting boost, mix a few drops of your favorite essential oil with the baking soda before sprinkling it on. Tea tree, lavender, or lemongrass oil are all good options. When the baking soda is completely dry, run your vacuum over the area to lift it out of your carpet....

TL;DR in English: Mix together water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture on the urine stain and let it sit for 15 minutes. Dab the carpet to lift up excess vinegar. Cover the vinegar solution with baking soda to deodorize your carpet. Vacuum the baking soda once it’s dry.

Blisters can develop on your feet from your toes sliding forward, too-tight shoes, or sweaty feet that cause too much friction in your shoe. To help soothe your blisters, cover them with moleskin bandages. These types of bandages are softer and will allow your skin to more easily breathe. Your blisters will surely prevent you from walking normally if you leave them untreated. Shoe inserts will help your foot fit more securely in your shoe, allowing you to wear them longer. There are foam and gel inserts available to use. The foam inserts can be cut to your foot size, while gel inserts are transparent and provide discreet comfort. They help keep your foot in place and can support your foot's natural arches, keeping your feet comfortable. You should wear specific types of heels depending on whether you will be inside or outside. If you plan to spend time outside in the grass, or walking long distances on surfaces you are not familiar with, choose shoes that have a wider "contact point" on the bottom so you don't trip. If you are going to be inside, make sure there is friction, or texture, on the bottoms of your shoes so you do not slip.  High heels that have spiked heels can easily pierce soft ground. If you wear them outside you will be sinking into dirt all day. Preferably, you want the heel to have a wide "contact point," the point at which the bottom of the heel touches the ground, for outside use. The wider the contact point, the less likely you are to fall sideways and twist your ankle, fall, or both. If you are wearing your shoes to work, or for more than four hours a day, find a places to take them off for a few moments. This will allow you a chance to stretch out your foot muscles and prevent your feet from injury. Flex your feet and rotate your ankles when you slip your shoes off for a few minutes. You can do this under your desk at work or even in the bathroom.

After you’ve strained the martini into the glass, twist the lemon strip that you cut over the glass to express the oils. Next, rub the peel along the rim of the glass. If you plan to use olives as a garnish in place of the lemon peel, place one or two on a toothpick to ready them. Once you’ve rubbed the lemon peel around the rim of the glass, make sure that it’s still twisted. Drop it into the martini so it floats in the drink. If you’re using olives instead, place the toothpick with them on it into the glass. They won’t float, so you may want to hook them on the rim. If there is any excess martini left in the shaker after you strain it for serving, strain the remainder into a regular glass. Place the glass in a bowl full of ice so it will remain chilled until you’re ready to drink or serve the rest.

TL;DR in English: Express the lemon strip over the glass and rub along the edge. Float the peel in the martini. Strain the excess martini mixture.

Use the pin already going through the butterfly’s thorax. Get an insect display case or shadow box with a foam backing so you can easily hang your butterfly. Open the front of the case and press the pin into the back by about 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm).  Shadow boxes and insect display cases can be purchased online or you can make your own. Keep multiple butterflies or insects in your display case, or use multiple smaller case to make a wall collage. Use a small strip of paper as a label, and write the name of the butterfly on it. Secure it next to the butterfly using mounting pins so you don’t forget what species you have preserved. Put the cover back on your display case and make sure it’s closed to keep your butterfly completely preserved. Hang your display case in a well-lit area but out of direct sunlight.  Keep mothballs in the case if you aren’t hanging it right away so your butterflies don’t start to mold. If you keep your butterfly in sunlight, the color of its wings might fade.

TL;DR in English: Stick your butterfly into the foam backing of the display case. Label the butterfly if you want to remember the species. Seal the display case so it’s airtight and hang it.

This is a great way to get your foot in the door and to gain more valuable experience. And if you're having trouble finding a job, this can also help you become a better applicant. To do this, you'll have to register for an apprenticeship at a local beauty salon and gain the experience for up to 2 years. You should still get paid for the apprenticeship, but you wouldn't get paid as much as a full cosmetologist. Not every cosmetologist works in a beauty salon. In fact, many cosmetologists are self-employed or even work part time. This allows them more time and flexibility throughout the week. If you want to have your own practice, you'll need to put in some hours at another business first. But you have some flexibility in choosing where you can work. Here are the most common locations:  Beauty salons and barbershops Day spas, hotel spas, resort spas Retail beauty supply locations Nursing and residential care homes Applying for a position at a salon as a cosmetologist is much like applying for any other job: you'll need to write your resume, make phone calls, check which salons have openings, and leave your resumes with salons that don't have openings just in case a job opens up at a later time. You can also search for open positions online. Just remember that even if you submit a resume, it's best to follow up in person or over the phone so you are more likely to get noticed and to look serious about the position.  As with any other profession, it helps to have connections. If you make a connection to a beauty salon during cosmetology school or know someone who works at a salon, you'll be more likely to get a job. If you're open to relocating, then it may benefit you to move to an area that has particularly high employment for cosmetologists. The five metropolitan areas with the highest employment for cosmetologists are Palm Coast, FL, Ocean City, NJ, Longview, WA, Mansfield, OH, and Springfield, OH.

TL;DR in English: Participate in an apprenticeship program if a salon in your community offers one. Find the best location for your work. Apply for cosmetology openings in and around your community.

In order to reverse your body image from bad to good, you need to understand the inner working of why you feel the way you do. Do you feel bad about your body because a loved one called you too fat or too skinny? Are you idolizing celebrities and models that you see on TV? Are you unhappy about some other aspect of your life and your body image is suffering because of it? Maybe your body is not changing at the rate of everyone else your age and you feel ashamed or disappointed? Whatever the underlying reason for your poor body image, you need to strive to uncover the root of this problem. Only after identifying the cause can you make an effective attempt at overcoming this issue. Challenge negative thoughts. When you notice a rampage of negative thoughts targeted at your body, take note of the trigger and then try to challenge these thoughts.  Firstly, examine where the thoughts came from. Unhealthy thoughts about our bodies might arise from reading magazines, hanging with friends who use "fat-talk", or being insulted by a classmate or family members. Try to figure out why you are having negative thoughts about your body today. Next, attack these thoughts. Negative thoughts are typically the result of a cognitive distortion. These include over-generalizations, jumping to conclusions, and discounting the positives, among others. For example, you might receive many compliments on a new outfit but one key person does not seem to notice. As a result you discount the other compliments saying to yourself "this outfit looks stupid. ____ didn't even say anything about it." Challenge cognitive distortions, or negative, irrational thought patterns, by turning them into more realistic and positive thoughts. For instance, a better way of looking at the situation might be "Lots of people thought my outfit looked cool today. Maybe ____ was too preoccupied and didn't notice." Hold up a finger and "shhh" yourself and others when you put down your own body or that of others. Body-shaming occurs when a person is criticized for...

TL;DR in English: Ask yourself why you feel bad about your body. Pay attention to your thoughts on "ugly" days. Stomp out body-shaming. Buy clothes that suit your body shape

To start, set a flat towel down on a flat surface such as a counter. You should place your amethyst here to dry it and also to scrub it after soaking it in the water. Small pieces amethyst can be moved easily by hand. However, if you're washing large pieces of amethyst, wrap them in an old towel and use this as a dolly to transport amethyst from place to place. If your pieces of amethyst are very large, it may be easier to wash them outside with a hose. You may not be able to soak large pieces of amethyst. Choose a sink or bowl big enough to submerge your amethyst. Fill it with water to begin the washing process.  Opt for warm water over hot or cold water. Extreme temperatures can cause amethyst to crack. Use a mild dish detergent to clean your amethyst.

Apples turn brown due to an enzyme in the fruit that reacts with oxygen in the air. This process is known as "oxidation." Lemon juice works to prevent oxidation as it contains citric acid, which is an effective anti-oxidant. You can use either freshly squeezed or reconstituted lemon juice, though it may be best to only use this method on sweeter types of apple, as the lemon juice will add tartness. To use lemon juice to stop your cut apples from turning brown, you can use one of two methods:  You can also use lemon to prevent browning by soaking the apple pieces in a bowl of cold water and lemon juice. You should use a ratio of one tablespoon of lemon juice to one cup of water. You only need to soak the apple for 3-5 minutes, before draining and rinsing. Lime juice can be used in place of the lemon juice in these methods, as limes also contain the citric acid necessary to prevent oxidation. Pineapple juice is another good option.

TL;DR in English: Use lemon juice.

It's a good idea to wash your hair before attempting a quiff hairstyle. This gets rid of any oiliness and makes your hair easier to backcomb.  Use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner in the shower — this will help to give your hair more texture and volume once dry. Blot your hair dry with a towel. Work a little volumizing mousse through the lengths, and blow dry your hair as straight as possible. Use a comb or your fingers to section off the front part of your hair for the quiff.  Think of this section of hair like an upside-down triangle, with the two bottom points at your forehead and the top point at the top of your head. If you plan on leaving the rest of your hair down, slick back the sides with gel or pin them back with bobby pins. If you plan on putting the rest of your hair in a ponytail, twist the front section of hair around itself and temporarily secure with a bobby pin. Once the front section of your hair is separated and secured, use a soft brush to smooth the rest of your hair back into a low ponytail (around the occipital bone) and tie tightly with an elastic.  At this point you can decide whether you want the ponytail to look sleek or wispy. If you want the wispy look, pull out some feathery pieces of hair from around your ears and temples. If you want a sleeker effect, use some firm-hold hairspray to slick back the hair at the sides of your head and beneath the ponytail. Don't spray the top of your head just yet. Unpin the front section of hair and comb it out to remove any tangles. Spritz the entire section of hair with a light layer of firm-hold hairspray.  Working from the back to the front, take small sections of hair and start backcombing, using a fine-toothed comb. This is the most important step in achieving a perfect quiff. To backcomb the hair, hold a section of hair at the ends and lift it straight into the air, above your head. Place the comb at the halfway point between your head and your hand and tease the hair downwards, towards the scalp.  Once you have finished with one...

TL;DR in English: Wash your hair with volumizing shampoo. Section off the front part of your hair. Make your ponytail. Backcomb the hair for the quiff. Smooth and secure the quiff. Hide the bobby pins or hair ties and finish with hairspray.

They are also called "sink caps," and are used on kitchen and bathroom counters. They are L-shaped, so they cover both the top and side of the counter edge. Some places sell even smaller ones made specifically for corners.  If you are going to be using these near a sink, get the kind with a raised edge. This will keep the water from dripping onto the floor. Match the material to the rest of the tiles on the counter. You can use a matching color, or a different color. These tiles are narrow, with a rounded top, and come in smooth finish, textured, and molded finishes. They are a great way to trim a tiled shower wall or backsplash. Match the material to the rest of the tiles. Use a matching or a coordinating color. These may also be called "pencil liners." Rail moldings are thin, decorative tiles made from natural stone or porcelain. They are molded on 1 side, similar to crown moldings on a ceiling. Use them as a border between a tiled surface and a wall, or between 2 different types of tile.  Match the rail molding to the surrounding ones, or use a contrasting one for a more unique finish. Some places sell rail moldings as "cap moldings" or "chair rails." You can use these even if the rest of your tiles are made from a different material. Use a coordinating color and texture to really make them stand out. You will need to grind the edges of natural stone tiles into a bullnose yourself. Glass tiles typically have a smooth, uncut edge and a sharp, cut edge. Orient the tiles so that the smooth edge is on the outside of your tiled project. This way, the rough, cut edges will be touching one another. They are also a great option if you can't find matching V-caps or bullnose tiles to finish the edges with. Separate the wood trim from the tiles with caulk that matches the grout. Use nails, screws, or plugs to secure the wood trim to the counter. You can use them on all sorts of tiled surfaces, including counters, showers, floors, walls, and stairs. They are a great way to transition between tiled and non tiled...

TL;DR in English: Finish edges and corners on counters with V-cap tiles. Edge walls or counters with bar liners if you want to add texture. Use rail moldings to transition between different materials. Use natural stone as a rustic decorative trim. Edge tiled walls with glass tiles for an elegant look. Use a wooden trim if you want a more unique look. Edge tiles with metal trim for a contemporary finish.

Cilantro will give your favorite stir-fry dishes extra flavor and freshness. During the last 30 seconds of cooking, add the chopped cilantro to the dish. Use a spoon to mix the cilantro in, or simply leave it on top. Turn off the heat and serve warm. Once the rice has finished cooking, mix 1 to 2 tablespoons (14.3 to 28.6 g) of chopped cilantro into the rice until well combined. For added freshness, squeeze some lime on the rice as well.  Alternatively, sprinkle the chopped cilantro on top of your favorite rice dishes, like chicken and rice. Cilantro will add freshness and zest to your favorite soup recipes, like chicken, black bean, potato, and vegetable soups. Before serving the soup, add 1 tablespoon (14.3 g) of chopped cilantro on top. Cilantro goes well with mixed drinks featuring vodka, tequila, or white rum. Spice up your favorite mixed drinks by adding chopped or whole cilantro to them. Or just tear the leaves from the stalks and add them to your drink. Make a cilantro mojito by replacing the mint leaves in a traditional mojito with cilantro leaves.

TL;DR in English: Add 1 tablespoon (14.3 g) of chopped cilantro to stir-fried food. Spice up your rice with cilantro. Top off your soup with cilantro. Garnish mixed drinks with 1 tablespoon (14.3 g) of cilantro.

The number one mistake people make on these problems is confusing mass and weight. Remember that mass is the amount of "stuff" in an object, which stays the same no matter where you move it. Weight measures the force of gravity on that "stuff," which changes if you move through space. Here's are a couple mnemonic to keep your units distinct:  Mass is in units of grams or kilograms. Both mass and gram contain an m. Weight is in units of newtons. Both weight and newton contain a w. You only have weight while you're "wait"ing on Earth, but even "mass"tronauts have mass. Most physics problems use newtons (N) for weight, meters per second squared (m/s2) for gravitational force, and kilograms (kg) for mass. If you use a different unit for one of these values, you cannot use the same formula. Convert to scientific units before plugging them into the standard equation. These conversions may help you out if you're used to the imperial / U.S. system:  1 pound-force = ~4.448 newtons 1 foot = ~0.3048 meters If you're working on a complex problem, keep track of the units as you work through your solution. Remember that 1 newton is equivalent to 1 (kg*m)/s2. If necessary, make that substitution to help you cancel out units.  Example problem: Jeffrey weighs 880 newtons on Earth. What is his mass? mass = (880 newtons)/(9.8 m/s2) mass = 90 newtons/(m/s2) mass = (90 kg*m/s2)/(m/s2) Cancel units: mass = 90 kg Kg is the expected unit for mass, so you arranged the problem correctly.

Black is the ultimate classic color and the easiest to work with, and if you can wear it well, you can't go wrong. However, black doesn't suit everyone. For example, it can drain pale skin tones or it can simply make some people feel too somber and dour. However, this doesn't mean you should avoid little black dresses. If black doesn't suit you, be sure to keep the dress as far from your face as possible (such as using a plunging or deeply rounded neckline and straps instead of sleeves). That way, it won't drain the color from your face but you can still benefit from the elegance, simplicity, and backdrop of wearing black.

TL;DR in English: Wear the dress rather than letting the dress wear you.

Solving math problems is one of the most common ways of improving analytical skills. Math is very logical and math problems are structured in a way that we are given information and are forced to use that information to solve a problem. As a result, math problems are one of the simplest ways of honing analytical ability.  Practice complicated math problems that include long division, algebra, calculus, and more. These problems will help you develop your logic and reasoning skills and as a result improve your analytical ability. Identify math problems in everyday life, then take time to solve them. Enroll in a college level math course. Many college level math courses will help you cultivate your analytical skills. One of the best ways to improve your analytical skills is to engage them directly by playing “brain games.” Brain games are games that challenge you to think deeply and to develop your analytical skills. These games will get you used to thinking in a certain way and as a result, they will help improve your ability to think. Ultimately, brain games are a fun way to actively develop your analytical skills while having fun.  One example of a brain game are logic puzzles. Logic puzzles vary and include crossword, riddles, Sudoku, and more. Logic puzzles are available on the internet or at a bookstore near you. Play board games. Many board games require you to use your analytical skills and to develop them further. Perhaps the best of these are games like scrabble, some strategy games, and games like chess or checkers. Find video games that encourage the development of your analytical skills. A wide array of video games help to improve analytical skills. Some of the best, though, are strategy games and other games that challenge us to solve problems and achieve broad goals. Another great way to improve analytical skills is to join a debate or reading club or group. Groups like these provide people with the opportunity to come together and discuss ideas, literature, and problems in a congenial setting....

Don't wear any clothes that are too tight or restricting or that will keep you too warm at night. They can keep you from falling asleep because you aren't comfortable, as well as make you restless later. One study even found that wearing tight clothing at night suppresses the release of melatonin, which is necessary for falling and staying asleep. Caffeine can interfere with your sleep even if it has been six hours since you last had any, so make sure to stop drinking it early. Another stimulant to avoid is nicotine; it's best to try to quit smoking and using all other nicotine containing products (vaporizing nicotine, chewing tobacco, patches, and gum) altogether if you are having trouble sleeping. Keep in mind that you may have a period of withdrawal as you are cutting out nicotine, and this may interfere with your sleep. Be sure to discuss any issues you are having with your doctor. At least an hour before you want to sleep, turn off your computer, phone, and television. The bright lights of the screen tell your brain to stay awake, so to get your mind ready for bed, they need to go. The blue light from screens is especially responsible for causing sleep disturbances. If you find you can't sleep because your brain keeps going, stop trying to sleep. Go try another activity for a time, such as reading a book. You'll begin to feel sleepy, and when you do, return to bed. This practice helps you to associate your bed with one thing--sleep.  Another way to slow down your mind is to try meditation, as it clears your mind of thoughts if you do it properly. It also relaxes you, helps to regulate your sleep, go through more REM cycles, and sleep better overall.One simple meditation is to concentrate on your breaths. Take deep breaths in and out, focusing solely on your breaths. Try counting to four each time you inhale, and then repeat four counts each time you exhale to help slow your breaths. You can also use a guided meditation app to help you learn how to meditate. Also, have a pen handy. That way, if you think...

If they need more sex, then open your mind to the possibilities. If they need time with friends or time to pursue a hobby, then don't be possessive. They'll be happier, and they'll be grateful to you for your respect. You should meet their needs, or at least some of them, without doing anything that feels uncomfortable to you.  If they wants more sex, then consider having more sex with them, or think about why it doesn't appeal to you. But do not force yourself to do something you're not comfortable with just for their benefit. Instead, talk to them about it so they understand how you're feeling, and together you can decide on something you're both comfortable with. If he's missing his time out with the boys, let him have a boy's night and have a girl's night of your own. If they want time to pursue their hobbies, let them take the time. They'll grow as a person from doing their own thing, and this will benefit your relationship. Develop true intimacy and unconditional acceptance. Demonstrate a willingness to be vulnerable, and be confident that your relationship can withstand conflict. Enjoy your shared history and your inside jokes. Forward them articles you know that they'll find interesting or just sit with them in companionable silence. Even your silence will say volumes when your marriage is strengthened by true friendship.  Though you should maintain other meaningful friendships so your life is full of love and laughter, at the end of the day, your spouse should be the person that you turn to. Aim to be the person that your spouse has the most fun with instead of their best friend or their favorite uncle. You should be their #1 go-to person, whether they need a good laugh or a good cry. Never lose sight of the dreams that you share.

It is recommended that you replace these at least once a year, or you will fail to get a good shave, and may end up irritating your skin. For example, if you use your right hand to write, also use it to shave. Use your off hand to hold your skin tight as you go over your skin with the shaver. Make sure to shave against the grain if you want a closer shave but careful to take your time for best results. Hold the shaver at right angles to your face as your other hand pulls the skin taught to ensure hairs stand upright. This will also create maximum skin contact which reduces shaving time and minimizes snagging. This will help you get the closest shave possible. Shave with the grain, usually from the top towards your jaw. Shaving against the grain gives a closer shave but is an easy way to cut yourself and you run the risk of cutting hair below the skin level, which creates ingrown hairs. These are also known as razor bumps because the whisker grows into the surrounding tissue instead of out of the pore, which causes inflammation and possible infection. Make sure to look at the mirror at a level angle to ensure both sides are even. Put down the shaver and use both index fingers to help give you some perspective of which side is longer by placing each finger at the bottom of each side burn. For example, place your left finger at the bottom of your left side burn pointing towards your reflection in the mirror. Do the same with your right finger at the same time to get a sense of which side burn is longer and adjust accordingly. Use your index finger of your non-dominant hand to lift up your nose and force your upper lip downward to provide more surface area for you to shave. You can also try moving your upper lip away from the direction that you are shaving. For example, shave downward and to the left as you move your upper lip toward the right. This will help flatten out your skin and expose your shaver to more of your hair. Bite and suck in your lower lip to maximize the surface area that the shaver touches. Go...

TL;DR in English: Ensure your blade is sharp. Hold the shaver in your dominant hand. Use your non-dominant hand to pull your skin tight. Shave your cheeks and the side of your face. Shave your sideburns. Shave your mustache area below your nose. Shave underneath your lip and chin. Shave your neck and beneath your jaw. Check your mirror for missed spots.

Grapes with brown stems that come off easily when you pull them are often overly ripe, and may quickly spoil. Avoid clusters that are losing grapes left and right and opt for stems that are firmly connected.  Although you can likely find them year round, the best time to look for fresh grapes is in the fall, when they're technically in season.  Try looking for grapes at farmers markets to find fresher varieties than your average supermarket pick. Grapes at a farmers’ market were typically picked 1-2 days ago, while supermarket grapes have probably been off the vine longer. Fresh green grapes should range from pale yellow-green to light green, while red and purple grapes can range from light red to a deep, almost-black purple. Choose red grapes that do not have any green tinge to them and are plump on the stems.  Some types of grapes naturally take on different colors. For example, Japanese muscat grapes vary from light green to shades of red. Look for other signs of freshness if you’re unsure about the ideal color. Avoid purchasing grapes that have brown spots; this may mean that they're rotting. Because of fermentation, grapes that have spoiled may smell strongly of vinegar. Fresh grapes should smell sweet, so if you're picking up a whiff of something sour, look for a different bunch! You can also look for brown spotting on the grapes, which often accompanies the vinegar smell. The same process that causes grapes to spoil also causes wine to taste like vinegar if it isn’t stored properly. If you come across sour wine, that probably means that the bacteria in the grapes has turned into acetic acid, and the wine has spoiled. If the grapes have white or gray patches of mold or look furry, choose a different bunch. Moldy grapes will also feel soft to the touch, and might even fall off their stems naturally. Mold is a sign of rot and could quickly spread to the remaining healthy grapes in your bunch. If you see any mold, pick a different cluster!

TL;DR in English: Search for grapes with firmly connected stems. Look for yellow-toned green grapes or plump red grapes. Check for a vinegar scent and brown discoloration. Avoid clusters of grapes that are showing signs of mold.

This is used for one-handed weapons which prove to be most efficient. At a crafting station, simply go to "Frame," and select it from the list of available frames. For this custom weapon a good combination of tools would be the plasma core as the top tool and the pneumatic torch as the bottom tool. They can be added at a crafting station by going to the tool section of the crafting table, scrolling through your list of tools and selecting them. If you choose the plasma core, go with a compact-directed ejection field. This tip will spread out your plasma shots further so that you can hit more enemies per shot. Keep the torch as is, this way if enemies get close you can burn them to a crisp over a large area. These can be added by going to the tips section on the crafting table and selecting the appropriate tip. The best ones for this weapon would be a damage support for your torch. This way the fire can inflict even more damage if you get into a bad situation. Also, for your plasma core you’re going to want to stick with a stasis coating. This will make it so that every time you shoot something it slows it down with stasis, allowing you to get even more shots off. These can be added and crafted from any crafting bench.

TL;DR in English: Start with a compact elite frame. Choose your top and bottom tools. Add tips to the custom weapon. Set the attachments.

We all have times we need to vent or to talk about something that's bugging us. When you're in a relationship, you become each other's place to discuss what's going in your lives. However, you have to make sure you create the space for that, both time-wise and emotionally.  In other words, if you always cut your partner off when they start talking about something that's bothering them, that's not creating the emotional space for them to talk. In addition, you have to open the door sometimes. When you notice your partner is looking down or sad, try to ask them what's going on. Listening is an art. You've got to really pay attention to what the other person is saying, not just trying to figure out how to respond. When you're in a serious discussion, for example, you may have a tendency to get defensive based on just a few things your partner says without really hearing them out. Trying to truly understand what their trying to say rather than getting defensive can lead to better communication.  As they're talking, take in what they're saying. Open up to what's underneath the words, not just what they're saying aloud.  Show them you're listening by asking leading questions. You can also offer short summaries. For instance, you could say, "What I hear you saying is your upset because I'm not spending enough time with you." That helps them know you're listening, plus it helps you to know you are getting it right. A cue is when your girlfriend or boyfriend casually mentions something that they are interested in. In turn, you take that cue and respond appropriately, sometimes by asking about the interest, sometimes by taking action.  For example, say your girlfriend says something like, "Isn't that car adorable? My car is getting so run down." You could say, "Oh, are you considering get a new car?" or you could ask her if she wants to go test drive one. Another example is if your boyfriend mentions a new restaurant going in down the street that looks good. You could take the initiative and make reservations. Picking...

TL;DR in English: Give your partner space to talk. Listen without being defensive. Hear verbal cues. Watch your partner's body language. Try to keep discussions positive. Wait until you've calmed down. Deal with issues when they're small.

Plastic water, milkshake, or soda bottles are great for making maracas. Empty the bottles and clean them out thoroughly with hot, soapy water before you use them. Make sure that they are completely dry before you begin filling them.  2 plastic bottles will make 2 maracas. Get more plastic bottles if you want to make extra maracas. Check that each bottle has a secure lid. Leave the maracas for at least 12 hours so that the paper mache has enough time to dry. Avoid touching the paper mache while it's drying. If it’s very humid, the paper mache may take longer to dry. Repeat the process of adding extra paper mache layers over the maracas. Let the maracas dry overnight again and then check that the paper mache feels firm before you begin decorating. Once the paper mache has fully dried, pick your favorite colors of paint and decorate them however you see fit. Use multiple bright colors if you want your maracas to stand out, or stick to just 1 color for simple decoration. You can also paint patterns or pictures on the maracas if you prefer.  Wait until the paint dries before you use the maracas. Feel free to decorate your maracas with other craft items too, such as plastic beads, buttons, ribbon, or washi tape.

TL;DR in English: Get 2 plastic bottles that are approximately 15  fl oz (440 ml). Let the maracas dry overnight. Add 3 more paper mache layers and let the maracas dry again. Decorate the maracas with paint.

Teach your child the importance of personal hygiene and daily routines, like keeping a regular bedtime, exercising for at least 30 minutes per day, and spending time outside. Try to keep a regular schedule yourself each day so that your child can see the benefits of these habits.  For younger children, this can be as simple as helping them brush their teeth, get dressed, and do small chores around the house. With older children, you can invite them to go for a walk with you, or spend time reading before bed to relax. For instance, if your evenings tend to be busy, you can wake up, pick out clothes, brush your teeth, and have breakfast together with your child every morning. As your child gets older, you can make them feel like an important part of the family by giving them household jobs. Keeping them involved and holding them to a reasonable standard for their work will instill a sense of pride in their success. When they know that they’re important, they may be more happy to help.  For example, you can trust a child as young as 7 or 8 to feed and walk the dog after school. For kids 9 and up, give them 2-3 daily chores, like doing dishes, helping with laundry, and running the vacuum. If you have more than 1 kid, switch chores between them every week so that they don’t get bored. In that case, it might be helpful to make a chore chart to keep their responsibilities straight. Having fun is an important part of being happy, no matter what age you are! Let your child participate in a variety of games, crafts, and activities, and encourage them to make up their own. While playing, children of all ages can discover new interests and practice the skills that they’re good at.  Implement a mix of both structured and unstructured playtime. Pick specific games to play sometimes, like “Simon Says” or “I Spy,” and then let your child pick what they want to play the rest of the time. For instance, if your child spends 4 hours per day playing, try to devote 1.5-2 hours to structured playing, and 2-2.5 hours to...

TL;DR in English:


Fill in each horizontal row with the numbers 1-4, without repeating any of them. Fill each vertical column with every number, without repeating. Find and note the "cages," thick, irregular boxes within the Kenken, to get clues to a solution. Know that the number and syllable at the top of each cage must be the "goal," or answer, of the written numbers put inside. Know that subtraction and division boxes can be in any order. Know that the same rules apply no matter how big the puzzle gets.

Astrologers believe Tauruses have a tendency to move slow in a relationship, so don't try to force intimacy early on. Let the relationship progress at its own rate. If a Taurus isn't ready to label the relationship, for example, have patience and give them time. Remember, it's not personal. Tauruses simply need a lot of time to think things over. Once they settle on a partner, they will be loving and loyal. Tauruses tend to be a little jealous, which can cause conflict in a relationship. Luckily, Tauruses are open to straightforward discussions about relationships issues. If your Taurus's jealousy is becoming a problem for you, simply say so to open up a dialogue about the issue. It's hard to talk a Taurus out of something once they've made up their mind. Learn to pick your battles wisely. Unless something is a major issue for you, learn to go along with the program when dating a Taurus.  For example, if your partner insists on taking a longer route to get to an event, insisting it's a shortcut, you can let this slide. Bigger issues should be addressed, however. If your partner is consistently making you late for work due to the "shortcut," talk it out. Tauruses care deeply about their partners and want them to be happy, which can override their stubbornness.

TL;DR in English: Be patient with the relationship. Talk over jealousy issues. Learn to deal with their stubborn nature.

Wind is caused when air moves from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area. Since weather moves in from the west, westerly winds indicate good weather because they suggest the bad weather is already to your east. Easterly winds suggest that the bad weather is coming toward you.  You can use grass or flower petals to determine the direction of the wind. Throw your grass or flower petals into the wind and watch the way that it blows or falls. You can also detect the direction of the wind by wetting your finger and holding it out. The side of your finger that gets cool will tell you from which direction the wind is blowing. The air pressure determines what direction the smoke will go. In high pressure, the smoke will go directly up into the air. If the pressure is low, it will spiral back down around the fire. If you see the smoke spiraling back down, bad weather is likely on the way. When smoke spirals downwards, it means that bad weather is very close. The low-pressure system is already in place over your area. Before a storm, the low-pressure system can push out the area’s normal wind patterns. This creates a temporary calm before the storm begins. You’ll notice a lack of wind, which creates a stillness over the area. If you're near water, it will be calm and still, as well. This calm indicates a coming storm. At this point, you should be able to observe other signs of a storm, such as dark clouds. Close your eyes and smell the air. Smells become wet right before a storm, making them stronger. Before a storm, you should also notice a compost smell as plants release their waste. If you start to smell a compost scent, it likely means that a storm is coming. If you are near a swamp, you will likely smell swamp gases right before a storm. Swamp gas smells like rotten eggs because it comes from decaying vegetation. High humidity often precedes a storm, so watch for signs of high humidity, such as frizzy hair, curling leaves, and swollen wood. These signs can tell you that a storm is on the way.  Pine cones can...

TL;DR in English: Detect the direction of the wind. Watch smoke from a fire. Watch for calm conditions. Take a deep breath. Check for humidity. Observe ocean swells.

Give online dating a try. Millions of people choose this route as an introduction to someone new and interesting. Meeting someone new in this manner is perfect for people who don't know where to meet someone, or would rather not frequent the typical places people go to find dates, such as bars and clubs. Also, online sites often do most of the legwork for you, and conduct screening processes before you even talk. This can reduce the pressure for people who are shy or hesitant to get back into the dating pool. Creating an online dating profile can feel overwhelming to some. How much do you reveal about yourself? The simple answer is to give the basics without going into too much detail. Choose a clear and attractive photo and explain a few things about yourself that you think are important in finding a match.  For example, if you are divorced, it may be nice to add this to your profile, but you need not go into what caused the divorce or how much you hate people like your spouse. You could run off potential dates with this sort of energy. Keep it positive. Refrain from listing traits you prefer in a mate, unless they are make or breaks. For instance, if you love travel, you can say "searching for someone who enjoys adventure/travel," but it could be limiting to use that as a criteria for potential matches. Also, avoid giving out any personal information, such as your last name, home address, place of employment, or personal contact info. If you connect with someone, there will always be an opportunity to do this at a later time. If you make the decision to transform an online connection to an offline one, that's a good sign that the two of you are getting on well. However, keeping yourself safe in this situation is paramount. Due to scams and fake profiles, you want to use caution when meeting up with online dates. Only meet in public places when you go on your first few dates. Let a friend or family member know exactly where you are going and stay in communication with them often. Also, avoid giving out too...

TL;DR in English: Set up a profile on a dating website. Know what kind of information to include. Stay safe when meeting people from dating websites. Try to avoid becoming overwhelmed.

If you're already on site, contact your consulate or embassy to ask them for advice. They will be best placed to assist you.  Register your travel and contact details with your consulate if they provide this facility. This will help them locate you in the event of an emergency. If your foreign affairs department or consulate provides travel updates via email, be sure to subscribe to these. As with any travel, it pays to keep in mind the methods for staying safe, such as:  Wearing a money belt, not carrying enormous amounts of cash on you, and dividing your finances between plastic, traveler's checks, cash, and bank funds.     Only visit places that are known to be safe for tourists. Don't wander off the beaten track. Tourist meccas can be unsafe in times of unrest, however. They might be targeted for terrorist activities, so avoid gathering anywhere that attracts large numbers of tourists.     Don't draw attention to yourself. Dress modestly and try to blend in with the locals.     Maintain curfews. If you are visiting somewhere that is unsafe, it pays to be off the streets before it gets too late in the evening. A self-imposed curfew of being indoors before dark makes good sense when there is unrest at night.     Try to meet up with some trusted locals. If you know people in the country or city, try to connect with them and have them take you to events. Their local knowledge will be invaluable, as well as the fact that they'll be keeping updated with local news on any relevant events.     Be sure that you have had all your vaccinations and that they're up to date. If an outbreak of a disease is the major concern, talk to your doctor.    at all times. Beware of any suspicious activities around you and get clear of them. Monitor your surroundings constantly and don't do anything to provoke people.  Monitor the media constantly and keep checking your foreign affairs' site for travel advisory updates.     Know the uniform, transportation and logos of official security (police, army, etc.) in the country you're...

TL;DR in English: Talk to consular officials if you're already on location. Take all the usual precautions for safe travel. Stay alert Keep a list of all emergency numbers both local and back home. Know the normal standards of safety for regular tourist activities. Know what you can and cannot take into the sport's event areas.

Use a tape measure to measure the dimensions of your room (length and width). On a piece of graphing paper, draw a scale image of room where 3 grid squares = 4 inches or 1/3rd of a foot.  Include in your floor plan the location and size of doors, windows, closets, fireplaces, etc. Make scale drawings of furniture on a separate piece of paper. Measure the length and width of any large pieces of furniture (e.g. bed, dresser, couch). Cut these out and rearrange them in your drawing to see how much space you have to work with. Carry this plan and furniture cut-outs with you if go shopping or "dumpster diving", so you know if you have enough space for something before bringing it home. In a search engine such as Google or Bing, type in "easy bedroom decorating ideas" or "cheap bedroom diy".  Before starting a project you find online, write-out the instructions and compile a list of materials, including tools. Gather together any tools or materials you need before beginning your project. Create more space and reorganize by getting rid of anything that is unnecessary or outdated.  Clean out and organize your closet, under your bed, and other places in your room where stuff has accumulated. Donate any furniture, clothing, or electronics that are in good condition. A good rule of thumb is to donate or throw out anything you haven't worn or used in the past year. Create more space in your bedroom by moving your bed against the wall or place a comfortable chair next to the window to make a comfy reading nook.  You want everything currently in your bedroom to fit comfortably before adding anything new, especially if you have a small bedroom.  Add a bed skirt so you can store things under your bed without them being seen. Switch-out a bedside table with one that has drawers for storage or several shelves to hold books. Create additional space by installing extra shelving in your closet or purchasing a combination of plastic and decorative storage bins.  Attach hooks or shoe bags to the back of doors. Use the vertical...

TL;DR in English: Make a 2-dimensional floor plan of your room and furniture. Make a list of design ideas. Clean your room. Rearrange or add furniture. Maximize the storage potential of your bedroom. Rearrange your bedroom according to the principles of Feng Sui. Create a more relaxing space.

This is where Kenken gets its similarity to Sudoku. If you have a four square by four square grid, every single horizontal row must have a 1, 2, 3, and a 4 in it. The numbers, of course, can be in any order. This is true for each row. If your grid is a six by six, you would have the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, without any repeating. If it is a 9x9, then 1-9, etc. A completed Kenken needs to have every single number in every single row and column, only once. Note, however, that this doesn't just mean you fill in every single box with your numbers and win -- each puzzle still requires a specific order -- as dictated by "cages." Inside of the Kenken, there are big, thick lines marking of several boxes at once, with a mathematical equation (ex. "3+," "1-," "2"). These are called cages, and they provide the puzzle and the solution. Make a note of them, making sure you understand what boxes they cover.  Cages can be straight, composed of either a single block or many at once, or L-shaped. Just follow the big, thick lines. Before beginning, make sure you can tell the edges of the each cage to prevent mistakes. Every box will be in a cage of some sort. If you have four numbers in a cage labeled "8+," then the four numbers in that cage must add up to eight, like 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 (note that this would be an L-shaped cage, otherwise you'd have two 2s in the same line!). So a cage with two boxes labeled "3-" would have to have two numbers that, when subtracted, equal 3, like 4 and 1. Every cage will have a goal -- and this is how you solve Ken Ken.  Kenken only contains addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (×), and division (÷).  Cages with only one box and no mathematical symbol ("4") mean you just place the number in the box on its own. If the box just says "4," just put a 4 in the box. If you have a box that asks for "2÷," you can answer it with either "4 | 2" or  "2 | 4." You just need the two correct numbers in the equation -- the order doesn't matter. These rules all still apply no matter if you're playing...

TL;DR in English:


Give yourself – and her – space. Reassess yourself – and clean up your act. Keep busy. Revamp your image.

Guys who are using a woman for sex often give few or no details about themselves. Have you gleaned what you know about him from friends, personal observation, general conversations, past interactions, or has he really volunteered personal and revelatory information about himself to you? This is a VERY telling point, so it is worth considering carefully. Does he get bored quickly when you discuss your work, your hobbies, your activities, general daily issues? Does he try to stop the discussion and turn it back into "fixing everything with a snuggle on the couch"?. If so, he might be pushing aside the emotional entanglement of a real relationship just so that he can keep open the using side without feelings of guilt. He could also present himself as a counselor and offer advice about all of your issues, but not disclose any of his so that you can be involved in his life. Have you never heard him randomly ask if you're upset, ask how your day was, or just wonder why you had tears in your eyes? If he seems absolutely allergic to your emotions, then chances are it's not because he's too shy to ask or too awkward to help you deal, but it's because, well, he just doesn't really care that much. If he's just into you for sex, then any of your complicated, messy feelings will be a hurdle for him and nothing more. This may seem like a no-brainer, but many women refuse to see what's right in front of their eyes, even if they hear it. If he has told you that he's just into casual dating, that he doesn't have time for anything serious, or that he's just not a relationship kind of guy, then he probably meant it. You might have brushed this aside, thought he was just trying to play hard to get, or were convinced that you could change him. Well, if he has specifically told you that he's essentially not interested in much more than sex, then you need to rethink your "relationship." Have you been hooking up for months and haven't ever talked about what you're going to do even a month from the day you see your guy, let alone...

TL;DR in English: See if he never reveals personal information. See if he's bored when you talk about yourself. See if he rarely seems to care how you're feeling. See if he tells you he doesn't want a relationship. See if he never talks about a future with you. See if all he talks about is sex.

Avoid holidays and special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries at all costs. Do you really want your ex remembering your insensitivity every time that day rolls around? No you don't. Statistics show that most students break up during summer break. For everyone else, Monday seems to be the most popular day of the week for breaking up. The less public, the better. Don't do it in a place where the person on the receiving end isn't going to feel especially vulnerable. Avoid these break up locations at all costs:  The office. At a wedding. In a car. At school. In a restaurant or nightclub.

TL;DR in English: Choose the right time. Pick an appropriate place.

It's completely normal and natural for kids of all ages to ask about babies. It helps to be prepared for the conversation, but even if you aren't, try to stay calm and don't jump to conclusions. Take a deep breath and talk to them like you would about any other topic. Your first reaction might be to laugh or redirect the conversation. However, if you dismiss them, they'll only become more curious about the topic. It's best to address the question when they ask. If you're a babysitter or nanny, the children who you watch might ask you about babies or sex at some point. Stay calm and use your best judgement to approach the situation. If it's a body question, answer it scientifically. If it's a question that you think you can't or shouldn't answer, let them know that they can ask their parents.  For example, you could say something like, “Let's ask your mom when she gets home, maybe she'll know!” Chances are, they'll forget about it, and you can let their parents know that the child was curious about babies or sex. If they continue to push your limits and ask more personal questions, stay calm and treat it like you would if they were misbehaving in any other way. Remind them that they shouldn't use dirty words if they're swearing, and tell them that if they continue to do so, you'll have to call their parents. While kids are naturally inquisitive, there might be a reason that they're asking this particular question. For example, their teacher at school might be pregnant, or they might have seen a baby on television or in public. If you're pregnant, an older child might become curious about their new sibling. It's very common for children to start asking about babies and pregnancy when they know there's a baby on the way. Your child might be asking you about babies to confirm what they already know. If you've never talked about it before, try saying something like “That's a good question! Where do you think babies come from?” to see what they know about the topic.  If you've discussed babies and pregnancy before,...

TL;DR in English: Stay calm and relaxed when the topic comes up. Defer to the child's parents if someone else's child asks you about babies. Consider why your child might be curious about babies. Ask them where they think babies might come from.

Designate a study space, and keep it clean and pleasant. If you like sitting there, you'll enjoy your homework time more. Make it a habit to get your homework done at the same time every day. For instance, you might come home, relax for half an hour, and then start your assignments. Experiment at first to see what time works best for you. For instance, do you come home from school full of energy? This might be a great time to study. Do you come home exhausted and perk up after dinner? As long as you don't stay up too late, you might do better studying in the evenings. You can probably concentrate well for about 45 minutes, but it may be a little shorter. Instead of trying to finish all your work in one go, plan a 15 minute break every 45 minutes. Be totally focused when you do work: if your attention wanders, tell yourself, "Wait till the break!"  Always take your break, even if you didn't get as much done as you'd hoped. Stand up and move around during your breaks. If you need to learn a lot of new material, break it down into chunks. For instance, if you have 20 words in German you need to learn, break the list down into kinds of words, and memorize them a few at a time.  For a big exam, break up the material you need to study and write a study schedule. Try to study 20-45 minutes a day over the course of a few weeks. Never cram for an exam! The night before a test, just rest. Unlike in elementary school, in middle school you will be in charge of working on papers and presentations over time. You may also have tests that determine a lot of your grade. Plan ahead for big assignments by writing reminders in your planner the weeks before they are due. Write down what you need to accomplish each day to be prepared. For a big paper, for instance, you may need to research at the library on one day, write an outline another day, and then spend an hour or two every day for the rest of the week writing the rough draft and the final draft.

TL;DR in English: Find your ideal homework routine. Break up your work time. Study material in chunks. Keep track of your long-term assignments on your calendar.

The sooner you get a Florida driver's license (or Non-Driver ID) the better. If you already have a license from another state, you will not have to take the written or driving tests to get a Florida license. For the record, you have 30 days after filing the Declaration of Domicile to get a Florida driver's license (you may get a Florida license with or without this declaration, which we’ll discuss in the second section). To get your license:  Bring your out-of-state license to your local Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (county tax collector). Take an identify document with you too, such as the original or certified copy of your birth certificate.  It's also okay to bring a US Passport, or a Certificate of Naturalization. Provide proof of your Social Security number. This could be your Social Security card, a W-2 or pay stub. Offer two documents that prove your Florida address. A mortgage deed, Florida car registration or recent utility bills are the most commonly accepted, but anything with your new address should suffice. If you don’t intend to drive, you need to get a Non-Driver ID card. This is the same exact process as getting a Driver’s License (without any tests, of course). Transfer your car title and get registration for your car ‘’in Florida’’. You have 10 days after establishing Florida residency status to complete this task.  Get car insurance in Florida. Submit proof of your policy to the county tax collector. Show the original title to the county tax collector. Bring the car you want to register to your county tax collector's office, so they can check out the VIN. Pay the fees. It costs around $400 to title and register your car for the first time in Florida. You will also have to pay the typical registration fees, which vary depending the age, type, and weight of your vehicle. It is convenient to do this while getting your Florida driver's license  – often at the DMV (county tax collector) they will attach a voter registration form along with your new address forms....

TL;DR in English: Get a Florida driver's license. Register your out-of-state car. Register to vote.

For a few weeks after a breakup, you will be feeling a lot of emotions, some of them conflicting. Give yourself time and let these emotions settle. Do the same for her. Don’t call or contact her. Don’t respond if she contacts you.  Use this time to rest, recuperate, and, if need be, mourn the relationship. Get away from the stress and unhappiness of the event and take time to focus on your personal wellbeing. Try to keep your spirits up. Go out with friends and vent. At the same time, don’t be tempted to mask your feelings with alcohol. Now is the time to act on your personal reassessment. If the breakup was your fault (or even if not), take stock of your traits and decide what you need to change. Did you smother your ex, for example? Or perhaps you were overly insecure about the fact that she had some close male friends? If these were issues, confront them head on. It might be helpful to talk to a counselor. You will learn more about your wants and needs in a relationship and how to respond to others. Even if you don’t end up back with your ex, it will be a chance to talk and grow. Keep busy and happy while working on your personal growth. Breakups are emotionally difficult, and the activity will be good for your mental health and mood. Do the things that you love to do; be independent and pursue your interests.  Connect with friends. Good friends are a support network. Meet them for coffee or lunch, they will make you feel better and encourage you. Renew a hobby. Paint, write, or go dancing. Don’t let the breakup stop you from doing the things that you love. Exercise. Working out will boost your mood and make you feel better about yourself, emotionally and physically. You don’t need to change your appearance to make an ex jealous or to entice her back. However, a new wardrobe or makeover may well boost your self-esteem. There is nothing sexier than self-confidence – and consider it a bonus if she or others notice.  Try a new hairstyle. Update your wardrobe. Get a stylish new pair of glasses. Grow that beard...

TL;DR in English:
