Find an old dresser. Pull out all the drawers and interior hardware. Take apart the drawers. Attach a drawer face horizontally across the top of the open front of your dresser. Measure the height of the remaining opening in the front of the dresser. Measure the length of the drawer faces. Attach the remaining two drawer faces vertically on either side of the opening. Paint your faux fireplace. Make a base for your fireplace (optional).

Start your footnote with the name of the book, abbreviated using the Chicago abbreviation tables. Add the chapter, followed by a colon, then the verse or range of verses.  Example: 1 Cor. 13:4 If you're citing several books or chapters of the same book in the same footnote, separate those citations with a semi-colon. For example: 1 Cor. 13:4; 15:12-29. A list of abbreviations used in Chicago or Turabian style can be found at http://hbl.gcc.libguides.com/BibleAbbrevChicago if you don't have a copy of the manual handy. In the first footnote you use to cite to the Bible, include the name of the version you used. You can either spell out the full name of the version or use an abbreviation. No period is necessary at the end of your citation.  Example: 1 Cor. 13:4 Revised Standard Version After your first footnote, there's no need to add the name of the version unless you switch to a different version, such as if you were comparing translations. Chicago and Turabian don't require a bibliography entry for the Bible. If you do provide a bibliography entry, format it the same way you would for any other book. For example, your bibliography entry might be formatted like this: Coogan, Michael D., ed. The New Oxford Annotated Bible. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007.

TL;DR in English: List the book, chapter, and verse in a footnote. Close your footnote citation with the name of the version you used. Include an entry in your bibliography if requested by your editor or instructor.

” A good friend has sincere interest in finding out as much as she can about her friends’ point of view. If you’re really sincere about staying involved in this friendship, stay interested in your friends’ daily life and experiences. Let your questions reflect this deep interest, and don’t get caught up discussions of political likes and dislikes.  Explore your friends’ perspective by asking open-ended questions. Think out loud about what your friend shares, and ask questions to clarify that you’ve understood what she said. ” Political beliefs are sensitive, personal issues, and it can be easy to get emotional about them. When people have political discussions, they’re likely to engage in “blocked listening” which means selectively listening to your friend’s words for an opportunity to disagree with what’s been said.  If you find yourself wanting to include the word “but” in your conversation, chances are you’re engaged in blocked listening. Remember that telling people where they’re wrong is unlikely to change their minds or improve your relationship. Because political beliefs are based on interpretation of facts, you won’t be able to convince another person of your point of view by quoting well-respected experts who agree with you. This only invites your friend to bring in expert opinions that support her own point of view.  Quoting experts, or providing poll figures to show how many people agree with you on a political topic, isn’t likely to persuade your friend that she’s wrong and you’re right. If this is an issue that’s important to your values, it’s enough to just let her know what your own beliefs are. If she wants to learn more, allow her to ask you. It’s not fun to talk to someone whose beliefs are fixed. Political conversations between friends aren’t really about who is right and who is wrong. Instead, they’re an opportunity to keep a good, thoughtful mood going.  It will help to realize that political viewpoints are deeply connected to a person’s sense of identity. If you get so focussed on...

TL;DR in English: Practice “hungry listening. Be wary of “blocked listening. Don’t try to change your friend’s views. Avoid imposing your political beliefs on your friends. Be mindful of your social media feed. Agree to disagree.

Snails need to lay eggs in moist soil. Since they typically lay eggs while they’re active at night, you want the ground to dry out before nightfall. If you water your plants in the morning, the ground should dry out over the course of the day. If you can, opt for a drip irrigation system or a soaker hose, which will help manage the ground moisture so that snails can’t easily procreate. Snails are very attracted to moist, decaying organic matter, so they’ll likely stick around if you don’t clean up often. Check your yard and garden for debris at least once a week. Be sure to remove these items and place them in a compost or your trash. Keep in mind that a compost pile is going to be a carnival for your snails. Place it far away from your yard and garden. Additionally, surround it with an abrasive barrier to reduce snail activity. Great options include broken eggshells, diatomaceous earth, gravel, wood ash, and cedar chips. All of these items are hard for snails to cross, which effectively keeps them out. Put down a thin layer around the location you want the snails to avoid.  Crush up eggshells for an easy, at home option. You can find diatomaceous earth, gravel, wood ash, and cedar chips at a local gardening store or online. Since snails are sensitive to caffeine, they will naturally avoid used coffee grounds. Spread the coffee grounds on top of the soil or around the base of your home, as needed. If you don’t drink coffee, check with your local coffee shops, as they may give away their used coffee grounds. Copper gives snails a tiny shock, so they will instinctively avoid it. You can apply copper tape around potted plants, around your garden edges, or wherever the snails are going. If you’re using wire, tie it around your pots or make copper garden stakes.  As another option, you can sprinkle pennies around the area, as they contain copper. You can find copper tape at a local gardening store or online. These include foxglove, euphorbias, Japanese anemones, day lilies, succulents, astrantia, salvia, and...

TL;DR in English: Water your soil in the morning to reduce egg laying. Remove moist, decaying debris from around your yard and garden. Surround your garden or home with an abrasive barrier to deter snails. Sprinkle used coffee grounds around your garden, as caffeine deters snails. Use copper wire or tape to discourage snail activity. Add plants that naturally deter snails.

These flowers can make eyebrows grow darker and fuller. You can grind a hibiscus flower with a pestle and mortar until it is a fine paste. Apply the hibiscus flower paste to your eyebrows. Leave it on for 25-30 minutes then wash it off with warm water. Repeat this daily until your eyebrows are dark enough. These flowers are likely safe but check with your doctor if you are pregnant, breast feeding, have diabetes, low blood pressure, or are planning on having surgery. There is Vitamin A in olive oil that helps hair grow and Vitamin E that nourishes hair strands. Rub olive oil onto your eyebrows before you go to bed then rinse it off in the morning. Use the oil every night.  You can also add rosemary or lavender essential oils to olive oil to increase hair growth.  Be careful if you have sensitive skin because oil can cause breakouts. If you start breaking out, stop using the olive oil. There are enzymes in aloe vera that can moisturize your eyebrows and make them thicker and darker. Put aloe vera juices or extracts onto eyebrows for 30 minutes then wash it off. Do this daily. Iron and Vitamin E in coconut oil help your eyebrows grow. Coconut oil also helps reduce protein loss which makes your eyebrows stronger. Massage coconut oil into your brows and leave it in overnight. Wash it off in the morning with warm water. Try to do this every night. This will not darken the actual color of your brows, but it can help them appear thicker, which may make them look fuller and slightly darker.

TL;DR in English: Crush hibiscus flowers. Use olive oil overnight. Moisten your eyebrows in aloe vera. Use coconut oil.

The In Trinity workout builds strength with a variety of poses.  Many are very similar or identical to yoga and pilates exercises. Being familiar with some of these basic yoga poses will help prepare you to take this class:  Downward dog. Cobra Child's pose Half moon pose Forward fold Sun salutations The creator of the In Trinity workout emphasizes the need to be mindful and present during this particular type of exercise.  Be prepared to focus and clear your mind as you exercise.  The In Trinity workout incorporates principles of meditation from yoga, tai chi and martial arts. You'll be focusing on continuous energy flowing through your body and powering yourself through this workout. Any type of exercise that requires meditation and mental focus can be difficult. When trying the In Trinity workout, don't expect perfection initially. It will take time not only to learn the exercises, but to be mindful and mentally present. You can try practicing meditation techniques during yoga, tai chi or pilates as well. This is great practice mentally for the In Trinity workout. Like any type of exercise, it's important to be well hydrated before during and after your workout session. Although the In Trinity workout may not seem strenuous, you do work your body and work up a decent sweat.  The amount of fluid you need to drink daily or during a workout session varies based on your age, gender and how hard you're working during an exercise session.  At a minimum, you should aim for a total of 8 glasses daily.  If you're active, you will need to increase this amount to 10-13 glasses. If your In Trinity workout is 45 minutes or longer, you'll need to bring a water bottle with you to class.  Takes sips whenever you're able in order to stay hydrated. The In Trinity workout is unique, but has very similar requirements for clothing to a typical yoga or pilates class.  You'll need to wear something comfortable that allows you to have a full range of motion.  Standard "yoga" clothes work well for the In Trinity workout. They are...

TL;DR in English: Get familiar with a few yoga moves. Get ready to meditate. Drink adequate amounts of fluids. Wear the right type of clothing.

The dresser should be roughly the size that you want your faux fireplace to be. Be sure to look curbside – and don’t worry about the color. This includes the screws and runners for the drawers. Your dresser should now be an open shell. Be sure to save the three nicest drawer faces and remove their handles; if necessary, fill any screw holes with wood putty, plaster, glue, etc. and let dry. In other words, the face of the drawer should be in the same position that the top drawer once was. Attach it by nailing it on with small, inconspicuous finishing nails or, preferably, by screwing it on starting from the inside of the dresser and screwing outwards through the back of the drawer face. Be sure to measure from the bottom of the newly-applied drawer face down to the bottom of the opening (but not to the floor). Since you will continue to “board up” the wide opening of the dresser by attaching a drawer face (oriented vertically) on either side of the opening, you will most likely need to adjust the size of either the drawer faces or of the dresser itself.  If the opening you measured in Step 5 is taller than the drawer faces are long, you will need to cut the bottom of the dresser off. If the opening you measured in Step 5 is shorter than the drawer faces are long, you will need to cut one end of each drawer face off. One drawer face should slightly overlap the right-hand side of the opening, one drawer face should slightly overlap the left-hand side of the opening, and the tops of both drawer faces should be against the bottom of the already-attached drawer face. If you cut the ends off your drawer faces, be sure to orient the cut ends downwards for a clean look.  Attach them to the left and right sides of the dresser by nailing them on with small, inconspicuous finishing nails or, preferably, by screwing them on starting from the inside of the dresser and screwing outwards through the back of the drawer face. To attach the side drawers to the top drawer, you will need small pieces of scrap wood. Align each...

Transfer the mustard to a small container with a tight-fitting lid.

Cars, motorcycles, and bicycles must all obey the same traffic laws. Stop if you see a red light or stop sign when you approach an intersection. Additionally, yield to oncoming traffic if you’re at a yield sign. Go only when the traffic light is green.  Look both ways to double check that other vehicles are obeying traffic signs before you go. Keep in mind that some cars may choose to run a red light as the traffic signal is turning. Play it safe even if it’s your turn to go. Generally, all drivers will stop at 4-way stops. The first person to reach the 4-way stop has the right of way. If drivers arrive at the stop at the same time, the driver to the right will proceed first. If there’s a 2-way stop, the driver who has a stop sign must wait for all traffic to clear before crossing. Some streets have bike lanes to help bicyclists travel safely around the city. Always use these lanes when you’re riding a bicycle, including when you’re crossing a street. This allows you to travel as safely as possible. Cars and motorcycles will be most aware of you while you’re in the bike lane. All vehicles, including bicycles, must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians who are in a crosswalk or crossing at an intersection. Check both sides of the street for a pedestrian before you cross a street. If you see a pedestrian, stop and wait for them to cross before you proceed.  Collisions between a vehicle and a pedestrian can cause life-threatening injuries, so be very careful. Always stop for pedestrians even if you may have the right-of-way. Bicycles must follow all the same rules as cars, so remember to always stop. You may be faster than a pedestrian, but you still have to stop for them. Crossing the street on a bicycle can make you feel vulnerable, especially if other drivers are being aggressive. Since it’s legal for cars to turn right-on-red, collisions can happen if drivers aren’t watching for bicyclists. As you cross, monitor the other cars at the intersection to check for movement. Be aware of cars that may be turning,...

TL;DR in English: Obey traffic lights and signs when you’re at an intersection. Stay in the bike lane if there is one when traveling by bicycle. Look for pedestrians before crossing a street and yield if you see any. Watch for cars merging or turning to the right if you’re on a bicycle. Dismount and walk your bike across the street when in a crosswalk.

Make sure that the bag or container you are storing the donuts in is properly sealed. Any air left in the container or bag might cause the donuts to become stale faster. Freshly baked donuts will last about 1 week in the refrigerator before going stale. Storing donuts with an icing or a glaze in the refrigerator will cause the icing to become runny and the glaze to be absorbed by the donuts. So, if this seems unappealing to you, try and eat those donuts first. The microwave will help add moisture back into the donuts and revive them. If the donuts are glazed or topped with icing, it might slightly melt. Be careful if the donuts have jelly or cream inside because it will be hot.

TL;DR in English: Place the donuts in a storage bag or airtight container. Put the packed donuts in the refrigerator. Freshen the chilled donuts by microwaving at 15-second intervals.

Just like eating, thinking is something we need to do to survive, so it is sometimes hard to judge when you are doing too much of it. However, there are several red flags that you are doing too much thinking for your own good. Here are a few of them:  Are you consumed by the same thought over and over again? Are you not making progress by thinking about this particular thing? If so, this may be a sign that you should move on. Have you analyzed the same situation from a million angles? If you've found too many ways to look at something before you decide how to act, you may be being counterproductive. Have you enlisted the help of your twenty closest friends in thinking about a particular thing? If so, then it's time to realize that you can only ask for so many opinions about the same idea before you drive yourself insane. Are people constantly telling you to stop over-thinking things? Do people tease you for brooding, being a philosopher, or staring out of rainy windows all the time? If so, they may have a point. . If you feel like you don't know how to stop thinking, you need to learn what it's like to "let go" of your thoughts, so that it's something you can do deliberately. Imagine that thinking is like breathing; you do it all the time, without even realizing it. But if you need to, you can hold your breath. Meditating will help you learn how to release your thoughts.  Just spending 15-20 minutes meditating every morning can make a dramatic impact on your ability to stay in the present and let go of all of your nagging thoughts. You can also meditate at night to help yourself wind down. Running or even walking vigorously can help you take your mind off of all of those annoying thoughts and to focus on your body. Participating in something particularly active, like power yoga, martial arts or beach volleyball, will have you so focused on your body that you won't have time for your thoughts. Here are some great things to try:  Join a circuit gym. Having to switch to a new machine every minute when you hear...

TL;DR in English: Accept that you're thinking too much. Meditate Exercise. Say your ideas out loud. Ask for advice

Look into how contact lenses work and decide how it could fit into your daily routine. Find online reviews of any contact brands to get an idea of any possible troubleshooting that could happen down the road. You should also familiarize yourself with common ailments associated with contact lenses, such as infections. This means doing all of your chores, diligently wearing your glasses if you have them, and finishing your homework without your parents nagging you. The key is to build trust between you and your parents because you are showing them that you can clean and maintain your contacts with no issues. Request to get your prescription updated and ask your doctor about contacts during the appointment. Your parents may want to hear a professional opinion, and your eye doctor can assess if your eyes are ready for contacts. Your doctor can also give you an idea of what kinds of contacts would be best for your eyes if you turn out to be a good candidate. Some contacts can be worn for up to a week without needing to be removed, while others only last for a day and need to be thrown away constantly.

TL;DR in English: Do your research. Act responsibly. Bring up the subject at your next appointment with your eye doctor.

Before you actually attempt an axel, take some time to get your stance right. Try standing in a pair of sneakers on a flat, even surface off of the ice, such as on a hardwood floor or concrete, or stand on the ice while wearing your skates. Don’t skate forward if you are standing on the ice. Just stand still for now. Position yourself so that your arms are relaxed and down at your sides. Relax your shoulders and let your arms hang loosely for a minute. This is the position your arms will be in as you skate forward to gain speed for the jump, but don’t skate forward yet. Next, bring your ankles in closer together under your body as if you are trying to squeeze a ball between them. This will help you to increase your speed as you skate. Tense the muscles in your ankles as you bring them together to help prepare yourself for the jump. Make sure that your ankles are tight and ready for the jump when you bring them together! While still tensing your ankles, bend your elbows and bring your hands in front of your body. Keep your hands spaced so that it looks like you are holding a loaf of bread in between them. This is the position your hands will be in when you lift off into the jump and also while you are executing the jump.

TL;DR in English: Stand still on or off the ice with your feet shoulder-width apart. Put your arms out to your sides and let them hang down. Bring your ankles about 6 in (15 cm) apart and tense them. Position your hands in front of you as if you are holding a loaf of bread.

Cover and refrigerate it for up to 3 months. A little time (but not a lot) aids in aging the flavor as well. Allyl isothiocyanate, the oil in mustard seeds that gives pungency and heat, tends to dissipate over time. So know the longer it sits in the refrigerator uneaten, the milder it will become.

Center punch the broken bolt as close to the center as possible.

If you don't want to cut the brim off your hat, you can just wear it backwards. Or, purchase an unwanted one from the thrift store. The hat should be as light in color as possible, or people will be able to see it through the bed sheet that will be draped over your head. If it drags on the floor too much, then mark the place where it should be cut. The costume should drag just a little to create a floating effect, but not so much that the person wearing it trips.  Have the person under the sheet poke out his or her fingers to where his or her eyes are, and draw little dots on the sheet at these points. Pin it to the baseball hat. Place the mark you made for the center of the person's head right in the center of the baseball hat.  Pin the sheet around the hat; you'll need to use about three or four more pins. If you don't want the black dot on the top of the head to be so noticeable, you can flip the sheet over. You should still be able to see where the mark on the top of the head is, but it will be less visible to onlookers. You can also just cover the mark with white-out. Or, use a fabric marker pencil that fades (invisible fabric markers). Cut eye holes where the eye positions have been marked. Circle them with black magic marker. The eye holes should be at least twice as big as the wearer's eyes. Use the marker to draw a nose and a mouth. You can cut a hole for either the nose or mouth, to make it easier to breathe. If you marked a place where the sheet should be cut, cut along that line.

TL;DR in English: Cut the brim off a light-colored baseball hat. Drape the sheet over the head of the person wearing the ghost costume. Mark the center of the person's head on the sheet with a black marker. Mark the eye holes. Remove the sheet. Cut out the eye holes. Draw a mouth and nose. If the sheet was too long, cut it.

If you want your relationship to last, do your best not to criticize one another, especially when it comes to personal things. You’re not perfect, and neither is your partner. It does little good to point out all of the things they are doing wrong.  Some therapists suggest that, for each negative comment or criticism you make, you should try to make at least five positive comments about your partner to help offset the negative one.  If your partner is doing something that is bothering you, think about why it is bothering you before saying anything. For example, maybe it annoys you that your partner bites his nails, but is it really harming you? If you have a friend who you trust, and who has spent a lot of time around you and your partner when you are together, then try asking them what they think. Research suggests that friends are generally better at predicting the outcome of your relationship than you will be. Do you guys often spend time joking around and having fun, or are you typically quite serious around one another? Research suggests that couples who are able to joke around together feel more connected. Remember, though, that this doesn’t mean you can’t/shouldn’t be serious sometimes. Some matters require you to be serious, and you will likely frustrate your partner if they feel you aren’t taking them seriously. If one of you believes that you are superior in some way, (e.g. have more money, in better shape, better looking, etc.) then you are less likely to last in the long-term. It is certainly likely that you do some things better, and that your partner does some things better. Instead of using these to compete, use them to work together. For example, if you are a great cook, and your partner doesn't know how to boil water, then give them lessons. Find something that your partner does that you can't, and learn from them. This is important for any long-term relationship. If something has happened to undermine your or your partner’s trust, then steps must be taken to repair the trust. This will...

TL;DR in English: Avoid criticism. Ask a friend what they think. Laugh together. Remember that you are equals in your relationship. Build trust in your relationship. Make an effort. Support one another.

Sewing in a patch is the most comprehensive, but also labour-intensive, way to fix a larger hole in the crotch of your jeans. This requires some basic command of a needle and thread or sewing machine, but when done well it could be neater and more reliable than gluing or ironing on a patch. Begin by finding a patch for the hole in your jeans.  If placing the patch on the interior, choose a colour that closely matches the colour of your jeans to make it look more natural. You can be creative with your patches if you want to make a statement or have some fun.  Make sure the patch material isn’t thicker than the material of your jeans. If it doesn’t give when you move, it will force the jeans to tear around it instead. Make sure there is no bunching or pulling or the patch will end up bulky and stressed. Unless you’d like to place a colourful or conspicuous patch over the damaged area, slide the patch into the interior of the jeans, which should be kept right-side out. Another option is to use an iron on patch. Instead of pinning it, you can iron it on and then sew it in for more durability. If you sew it in by hand use an overcast stitch. Poke the needle up through the patch near the edge. Plunge the needle and thread back down through the denim just outside the edge of the patch and somewhat forward from where your needle emerged, creating a single diagonal stitch. Once again poke the needle up through the underside of the patch (near the edge and slightly forward) to create another diagonal stitch on the underside of the material.  Repeat until you’ve covered the entire perimeter of the patch in diagonal stitches. When you’re done, do the entire process over again only this time, move in the opposite direction to create diagonal stitches that cross the first set you made. The resulting effect will look like a string of Xs. Be careful and make sure you are not sewing two sides of your jeans together, or sewing the material from the inside of the pocket to the jean leg or crotch. Now that the patch is firmly in...

TL;DR in English: Find a patch or suitable patching material. Place the patch over the hole, lay your jeans flat, and pin the patch to the jeans. Or sew it in by hand. Re-sew around the perimeter of the hole if necessary.

Leather polish will bring a shine to your jacket, but has the potential to discolor, dry out, or clog the leather surface. Use this for special occasions, and test on a hidden area first before using a new product. Buff with a cloth until a glossy surface is created.  Do not polish suede or other leather with a soft, fuzzy texture. It is not possible to make suede glossy without permanently removing this texture.  Don't use shoe polish, even if it is intended for leather shoes. If your jacket gets wet, hang it evenly on a hanger to dry at room temperature. Remove objects from the pockets to avoid stretching the wet leather, and keep it away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or airing cupboards. Apply conditioner after drying, if the leather had become thoroughly soaked.

TL;DR in English: Polish smooth leather jackets on rare occasions. Let wet leather air dry.

Medication can also ease the pain associated with your period. While you don’t want to get in the habit of regularly taking it unless you really need it, it can prove to be a powerful antidote to your period pain. Make sure you talk to your doctor if you plan on taking these medications regularly so you can make sure they are right for your body. You can consider taking the following over-the-counter medications to ease your pain:  An acetaminophen, such as Tylenol NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) such as Ibuprofen such as Advil or Motrin, or Naproxens, such as Aleve or Naprosyn Aspirin, such as Bayer or Bufferin A study with 944 participants showed that acupuncture may potentially ease the symptoms of dysmenorrhea, which is commonly known as period pain, which include vomiting, nausea, and cramping. Though further research needs to be done with a larger number of participants, the study does suggest that acupuncture may ease the pain of period pain and has no adverse effects. If you’re looking for an original and innovative solution for your pain, this treatment may just do the trick. Even though there’s no guarantee that this will work, it’s worth giving it a shot, especially if you feel like you’ve tried everything else. Birth control has been proven to reduce cramps in many women. If you’re not on the birth control pill, you may want to consider talking to your doctor about taking it. You may think that they are only for sexually active women, when in fact, birth control can be taken to reduce cramps and other menstrual pain, as well as to regulate your period. If your menstrual pain is very severe, then you may want to consider this option. There are some risks associated with the birth control pill as well, such as a small increased risk of cancer, and raised cholesterol levels and blood pressure.

TL;DR in English: Take non-prescription medication. Try acupuncture. Consider taking birth control.

Popular people are able to easily start conversations with different types of people.  This can be scary or uncomfortable. Smile, make eye contact, and use a conversation starter that makes sense for the situation.  You can always give a compliment.  Try saying, "I love your ____ , where did you get those?" You can simply introduce yourself by saying, "Hi, my name is ___ ." If you are at some type of museum or exhibit, "This piece is really great. Are you familiar with this artist?" or "I love this type of stuff. Do you know of any other places I should check out?" Having a few go-to conversation starters keeps you from getting too nervous when talking to new people. Eye contact takes practice and can be especially difficult if you have low self esteem.  Start with 5 seconds, and work your way up. To break up the eye contact look at another feature on their face (never below the chin, and never over their shoulder),then come back to their eyes.  Making eye contact shows the person that you are interested in them and creates a connection between you and the other person. Make more eye contact when you are listening to a person than you do when you are the one speaking. Look people in the eye and smile when you see them.  It makes you look more attractive and will make the other person feel good.  Smiling will even improve your mood. You will probably find that if you smile at a person, they will smile right back at you because smiling is contagious.  A genuine smile draws other people to you and can help you make new friends.  Smiling signals to other people that you are a happy, positive person; the type of person people love to be around.

TL;DR in English: Know how to start a conversation. Make eye contact when you talk to people. Smile at people.

The Amish often have a reputation for being reserved toward non-Amish, whom they call “English.” Nevertheless, the Amish Ordnung stresses values such as humility, simplicity, and community, and thus most Amish believe it is important to interact with friendliness to outsiders in order to demonstrate godliness. If you live near an Amish community, there are probably Amish-owned businesses where you can chat with locals in their language.  Bakeries and restaurants are very common businesses owned and operated by Amish. In addition to helping you practice your language skills, you’re sure to find some delicious food at these places, as the Amish are famous for their baked goods. Shops featuring Amish handcrafts, such as wood carvings, quilts, and furniture, are also very common in Amish areas.  Sometimes, Amish farms will have signs inviting visitors to take a tour or buy homemade goods. Feel free to stop by if you see a sign, but if you don’t, respect the farmers’ privacy. Thanks to the internet, it’s easy to set up shared-interest groups. A “conversation group” or meet-up will allow you to meet others interested in the study of the language and practice your conversation skills. Kutztown University maintains a conversation group that schedules its meetings on Meetup.com. Tourism is a significant part of some Amish areas, particularly in Holmes County, Ohio, and Lancaster, Pennsylvania (the two largest Amish settlements in the world). In these areas there are several Amish cultural or heritage centers whose purpose is informing outsiders about Amish culture and faith. Kutztown University in Pennsylvania maintains a Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center and museum. They offer events and a library in addition to other resources. The Pennsylvania German Society is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to studying Pennsylvania Dutch culture and language. In addition to sponsoring or running several language classes in the Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, area, they offer a curated library, a journal, a...

Muscle cramps can cause severe pain in your lower legs by causing your muscles to suddenly contract. A sudden, intense cramp or spasm in your lower leg is sometimes called a “charley horse.” While these cramps can be extremely painful, they usually go away on their own or with minimal treatment. The symptoms of a charley horse include:  Hard, tight calf muscles Sudden, sharp pain in the muscles “Lump” or bulge in the muscles Muscle cramps and spasms tend to go away fairly quickly. You can speed this recovery process by stretching and using heat (or cold).  Stretch your affected calf muscle. You can do this by putting your weight on the leg that is cramping. Bend your knee slightly. Alternately, you can sit with your affected leg stretched out in front of you. Use a towel to gently pull the top of your foot towards you.  Apply heat. Use a heating pad, hot water bottle, or warm towel to relax the cramping calf muscle. Taking a warm bath or shower may also help. Apply ice. Massaging your calf with an ice or cold pack may help relieve the cramp. Apply ice for no longer than 15-20 minutes at a time, and always wrap the ice pack in a towel to prevent frostbite. Tendinitis is caused by an inflammation of a tendon, one of the thick, Rope-like “cords” that connects your muscles to your bones. Tendinitis can happen anywhere you have tendons, but it commonly occurs in elbows, knees, and heels. Tendinitis can cause pain in your lower calf or heel. The symptoms of tendinitis include:  Dull, aching pain that is worse when you move the joint A feeling of “crunching” or grating when you move the joint Tenderness or redness Swelling or lumps Treatment of tendinitis is usually simple: rest, take over-the-counter painkillers, ice the affected area, use compression bandages, and elevate the affected joint. A strained soleus muscle is less severe than a strained or torn gastrocnemius. This injury often happens in athletes such as daily or long-distance runners. Usually, strains to this muscle include the following symptoms: ...

TL;DR in English: Recognize the symptoms of muscle cramps. Treat a muscle cramp. Recognize the symptoms of tendinitis. Treat tendinitis. Recognize the symptoms of a strained soleus. Recognize the symptoms of Achilles tendon rupture. Identify risk factors for an Achilles tendon rupture or tear.

What information is important to you? What will you do with the marketing report after it is created? This process requires an investment of time and expense. Make sure that you have a clear plan for using the information that you collect. Market research is the process of evaluating how well your marketing efforts are working. Specifically, does your marketing get the attention and interest of prospects? Are you converting enough of those prospects into clients? Before you can identify your customer's need or problem, you must identify your target or typical customer. Your target audience is the specific customer profile your are trying to reach. This could be people of a certain gender, age, profession, interest set, group, or any other quality that you think makes a customer want to buy your product. In other words, these are the people who are most likely to buy your product and the people that you tailor your marketing to.  The more specific you can be about the identity of your customer, the better you can address their needs. Ask yourself, "Who am I targeting with this product?" and "What do they want?" Look at your current customers. What's the average age? Gender? Education level? Personality? Lifestyle? Hobby? Occupation? Marriage status? Values? Consumers buy products to solve a specific problem. Your customers will only buy when they feel that solving the problem is urgent. For example, based on customer surveys and your industry knowledge, you uncover a customer problem. In this case, customers are losing time working or studying when their cell phone dies. If they forget their charger, they may lose hours of productivity. Think about how exactly you went about responding to the customer's problem. Why did you solve it that way? What make you think about the problem in this way? What exactly does your product or solution do or include? For example, to solve the problem of dying cell phones, you create a phone charger built into a backpack. Your customers use backpacks to store computers and other...

TL;DR in English: Consider why you should perform market research and write a report. Identify your customer. Evaluate your customer’s problem. Detail your solution to the customer's problem. Determine how well your product solves your customer's problem. Identify your competitive advantage. Examine how you currently market your product. Evaluate the effectiveness of your marketing. Summarize your findings for your marketing report.

Hang temporary wallpaper. Try peel-and-stick tiles. Create patterns with tape. Purchase vinyl decals.

For the greatest level of security, you should choose a different username for every single website, app, and platform you use. This prevents hackers from using a “cascade effect” attack once they gain access to one of your accounts.  For ultimate security, utilize a password manager service that produces completely randomized usernames and passwords for you, then stores them in a secure vault. LastPass is one well-known option. In a “cascade effect” attack, a hacker uses info gained from one account to guess their way into other accounts. At the very least, use a different username for each category of accounts you have. For instance, use one username for social media, one for gaming, one for banking, and so on.  Never use the same username and password combination, however. Having a single username per category makes it easier to remember them, and it also limits the potential damage of a “cascade effect” hack. You might think that using “JohnDWood” as a username isn’t very revealing, but a dedicated hacker may be able to track down more detailed info about you just by knowing your name. That said, using your name is preferable in professional contexts, so limit your use of it to just that category.  Combining the name you go by professionally with your profession is a good username combination. For instance, you might be “ReneeBlockAttorney,” “ChefRodneyPeele,” or “EdwardDSharpPlumber.”  In non-professional categories, don’t use your full name or the name you go by. Adding numbers is an easy way to make a username unique, but don’t give hackers any type of head start by giving away even a small amount of personal information. With just a few digits from a phone number or Social Security number (or similar government identification number), a skilled hacker may be able to figure out key info about you.  Ideally, you shouldn’t use the day or year you were born, either. And definitely don’t use your entire birthdate—for example, “JohnSmith112483.” Instead, use a number that’s less revealing but still...

TL;DR in English: Choose as many different usernames as you can comfortably manage. Repeat usernames by category if you want fewer total usernames. Use your full name only as needed in a professional context. Don’t use numbers from your address, phone number, or Social Security number. Don’t use your email address as your username elsewhere.

If you lose a match, try not to see it as a bad thing. Instead, use your mistakes to help you develop into a better wrestler. After you lose a match, take time to reflect on what went wrong. Ask yourself questions, such as:  What advantage did the other wrestler have over you? What can you do to ensure that you can overcome this advantage in the future? If your coach offers you advice or feedback, then try to listen with an open mind and do your best to put the advice into practice. Remember that your coaches do not correct you or tell you how to wrestle to show off or make you feel bad, they do so to help you improve as a wrestler.  If a coach gives you advice that you do not understand, ask for clarification. If a coach gives you advice that you do not agree with, try the suggestion before you decide whether or not to include it in your practice. Never talk back to your coaches or be disrespectful, even if you totally disagree with them. Before you go into a match, it is important to take about five minutes and visualize yourself winning the match. This practice has been shown to be effective for athletic success. To use visualization, close your eyes and picture yourself achieving your goal. Imagine how you will overcome certain obstacles and how you will feel after you have defeated your opponent. What will you look like? How will you feel? Persistence is one of the best ways to improve as a wrestler, so make sure that you are practicing every day. Maintaining a regular, consistent practice schedule will help you to build up your skills and keep you focused on wrestling. Avoid taking long breaks away from your training. For example, do not take the summer off even if you are not in school. Maintain a regular training schedule in the summer just as you would during the school year.

TL;DR in English: View your mistakes as learning opportunities. Listen to your coach. Visualize yourself succeeding. Practice every day.

A standard clothes hanger will be shaped like a triangle. It has two diagonal bars, and a horizontal bar at the bottom. The method works great for any type of pants, but the pants are more likely to slip off. If your pants keep sliding off, you can secure them with a clothespin. Simply clip a clothespin or two across the horizontal bar.

TL;DR in English: Get a standard clothes hanger. Place the hanger inside your closet.

Part of the myth of having twins is true: you will need to up your calorie intake for the day. You should consume about 600 extra calories a day, depending on your pre-pregnancy BMI, activity level, and physician's recommendations.  You can also calculate the number of calories you'll need each day by multiplying the number of kilograms you weigh by 40 or 45. So, for example, if you weigh 62 kilos, you can multiply that number by 40 and by 45 to get a range of 2,480-2,790. This range represents the number of calories you should probably eat each day. However, how you get these calories is even more important than the amount of calories you consume. You should maintain a well-rounded diet that has a balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats. 20 to 25 percent of your calories should be from protein, 45 to 50 percent of your calories should be from carbs, and 30 percent of your calories should be from healthy fats.  Avoid overeating and going over your suggested calorie intake. Rapid weight gain can put your babies at risk and lead to other health issues. When you’re pregnant with twins, it’s important to fortify your diet with enough vitamins and minerals in every meal of the day. Focus on increasing your levels of folic acid, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron, as well as several other vitamins and minerals to keep your babies healthy.  Protein: An average size woman needs 70 g of protein a day. Pregnant women are advised to consume 25 g more protein per baby, so add 50 g to your daily protein intake when you are pregnant with twins. Protein helps your babies to grow and develop their muscles in the womb. Go for high protein sources like lean meats (beef, pork, turkey, chicken) as well as nuts, yogurt, milk, cottage cheese, and tofu. Avoid fatty protein sources such as fatty cuts of beef or pork, sausage, bacon, and hot dogs. Iron: This is a key nutrient to ensuring your babies grow properly and have a healthy birth weight. Consuming iron while pregnant will reduce your risk of hypertension, anemia, and...

TL;DR in English: Increase your daily calorie intake. Consume food high in essential vitamins and minerals. Have meals that cover all five food groups. Eat cakes, cookies, and fried foods on rare occasions. Avoid certain types of food during pregnancy. Create a daily meal chart.

Most hospitals or birthing centers staff lactation consultants, peer counselors, or nurses with expertise in breastfeeding.  Lactation consultants can offer useful tips, demonstrate appropriate technique, and let you know what is normal in terms of feeding frequency, milk consistency, pain or discomfort, infant appetite, and milk production. Most institutions will set-up an in-room visit while you are at the hospital or schedule a home visit to enable you to see a breastfeeding counselor. Let the consultant know about your troubles or questions as soon as possible so that she can direct you toward the appropriate resource for help or correct problems early in the process. Most counselors will have you attempt to breastfeed while they are present so that you can walk through the steps and get reassurance, feedback, or answers to any questions as they occur to you. Breastfeeding can be intimidating, especially if you are a first-time mother. If you suspect you do not have enough milk or if breastfeeding is causing pain in your nipple or breast, discuss this with the lactation consultant. She may be able to direct changes in position, the use of creams, or additional tips to encourage the let-down of milk and to make the feeding process comfortable and successful.

TL;DR in English: Request a visit from a professional breastfeeding advisor. Share your questions or concerns about breastfeeding. Be open about pain or problems.

If you aren't allowed to permanently alter the wall or don't want to spend time hanging normal wallpaper, consider covering the bad wall with adhesive renter's wallpaper instead.  The adhesive backing is roughly as strong as the glue on the back of a sticky note, if not a little stronger, so it's easy to remove. If you remove it carefully, you can often reuse it, too. If you need to cover the entire wall, measure the dimensions of the space and buy a large enough roll to fit your needs. This can be an expensive option, though, so you can also use smaller strips to cover small patches of imperfections if doing so would suit your needs. Like adhesive wallpaper, adhesive tiles are a good way to mimic the look of the real thing without committing to anything more permanent.  You can use this to cover a large wall, but it makes an especially useful option for small wall spaces like kitchen backsplashes. These tiles are also fairly thin, so you should have no difficulty trimming them down to better cover the size and dimensions of your space. Since the outer surface is smooth and hard, you should be able to keep them clean with a soft cloth. Like adhesive wallpaper, peel-and-stick tiles are relatively easy to remove. If any residue gets left behind, you should be able to clean it off with a standard household cleanser. If you're up to a challenge, use colored or patterned tape to create simple patterns over the wall. You can plan out the pattern so that the tape falls out over the imperfections you want to hide. Duct tape should adhere well and is available in a variety of styles, giving you more options to work with. Consider applying it in diamond patches, stripes, or zigzags. Vinyl décor decals are essentially large stickers designed for use on painted walls. Choose a design you like and simply adhere it directly over the spot you want to cover up. Note that this may work best when you're trying to cover simple flaws like stains or ink marks. Strange wall textures can still show through from the front of the...

TL;DR in English:


Let getting better be your top priority. Make a space to recuperate. Take a warm shower or bath.

To get the ollie down, you have set up your feet correctly. Traditional set up for the ollie requires you to have your front foot near the middle of the board and your back foot down by the tail of the board. You don't want the back foot to be hanging off the tail, but to be in the middle of the tail so you have a grip on the board. Your front foot should be just behind the last two bolts on the front part of your skateboard, completely parallel to them. Remember that you have to get this down and learn to do a regular ollie before you can start going higher in the air. Now, you shouldn't move the front foot back too much, or your skateboard will just stand up vertically. However, if you've really gotten the regular ollie down solid, then you can move that front foot toward the center of your board, just two or more inches. Sliding that front foot is what gives you your lift, so the more sliding room you have, the higher you will go. You can start by just moving that foot back an extra inch or so, as you get more comfortable in this position. Now that you have a solid ollie, you can get it higher by sliding your front foot all the way to the nose of the board, up to the part where the board starts to curve upward. This way, your foot will get caught where it starts to rise, and since your foot is no longer sliding, if you keep moving it, it will bring the board higher in the air. Just remember that, even if you get it higher, you will still have to even out your board in the air by pushing gently with your front foot. Jumping higher is what will help you get your ollies higher. To get up higher, you'll need to pop the board harder, suck your feet up with the board, and jump higher than normal, trying to get your knees almost all the way up to your chest. You can raise your arms a bit more to help yourself get that extra lift too. Remember that you'll have to be really comfortable with your ollies to feel good about lifting your knees and body up that high when you jump. Along with jumping higher, one of your...

TL;DR in English: Master the footwork. Move your front foot further back. Slide your front foot further up the board. Jump higher. Pick your feet up higher. Keep your ollie as fluid and smooth as possible.

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

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

These may indicate pancreatic cancer, or some other ailment. Since early signs and symptoms may be ambiguous, they are often not associated with the pancreas until the disease is quite advanced. Early issues include:  Moderate abdominal and/or back pain Nausea (not vomiting) Loss of appetite (food is less desirable) Unexplained significant weight loss Yellow jaundice (which also causes itchy skin) Chronic pain Severe nausea Frequent vomiting Malabsorption of food Blood glucose control problems/Diabetes (since the pancreas makes and releases insulin but becomes dysfunctional). It is not easily scanned nor viewable behind the stomach and near the small intestines. The stages are:  Stage 0: Not spread. A single layer/small group of cells in the pancreas -- not yet visible on imaging tests or to the unaided eye. Stage I: Local growth. Pancreatic cancer is growing in the pancreas, Stage 1A is less than 2 centimeters (0.79 in) (approx 3/4 in) across, but Stage IB is greater than 2 centimeters. Stage II: Local spread. Pancreatic cancer is larger, protruding outside the pancreas, or has spread to nearby lymph nodes. Stage III: Spread nearby. The tumor has expanded such as encasing nearby major blood vessels or nerves (unlikely to be operable, unless very limited spread) -- as well as into nearby lymph nodes -- but is not known to have metastasized to any distant organ. Stage IV: Confirmed distant spread. Pancreatic cancer has been found in distant organs such as lungs, liver, colon, etc. -- probably inoperable.

TL;DR in English: Watch for subtle and nonspecific signs and symptoms: Beware that in later stages there may be: Realize that the prognosis and staging of pancreatic cancer is not easily tested.

Now that you know the function of resources, start playing and plan ahead for survival. Surviving the winters and keeping your citizens from starving will be among the greatest challenges. During the cold months when you can't farm crops, gathering food is a good alternative, but remember to build your Gatherer’s Hut in the forest where edible plants grow.  Gatherer’s Hut can be found under the Food Production tab and requires 30 logs and 12 stones to build. The maximum number of citizens working as Gatherers is 4, and it’s best to keep the number as high as possible since Gatherers, despite the bad climate, will keep on gathering food. If you're playing in hard mode, Gatherers are the best food source in any season, so build as many Gatherer’s Huts as you can, but keep them at a distance from each other. For maximum productivity, don’t let the range circles overlap. Don't forget to build a Storage Barn nearby for the use of Gatherers. If you click on a Gatherer’s Hut, details will show. You can see the Food Limit number, and once the limit is reached, no more food will be produced. Keep the food limit as high as possible, for as much food as the Storage Barn can hold. Gatherers produce food such as berries, mushrooms, onions, and roots. If you're playing in fair or mild climate, you can build a Fishing Port or a Farm to have fish and crops as your alternative food sources. You can build a Hunting Cabin as well for hunting deer for meat and leather. However, cutting down trees will decrease the wild-animal population so make sure to have Foresters plant saplings. As wild animals avoid areas of civilization, build Hunting Cabins away from towns. Pasturing is advisable as well, but animals such as chicken, sheep, and cows can only be gained from trade unless you're playing on normal or easy mode. A Forester Lodge defines an area where Foresters plant and later chop down mature trees for logs. A Forester Lodge should be built right next to a Gatherer’s Hut since Foresters maintain the growth of the forest. This...

TL;DR in English: Prepare for winter. Gather logs and firewood. Build a Market and a Trading Post. Build roads and bridges.

Infected fleas may give your dog tapeworms, so it is crucial to take steps to prevent your dog from getting fleas. You can purchase flea medicine online or in pet stores, but you may want to discuss flea medicine options with your veterinarian as well. Your veterinarian may be able to make recommendations based on your pet’s health history. Whether you have a new puppy or an adult dog, you should ask your veterinarian about heartworm testing and prevention medications. Heartworms cause serious health complications for your dog such as bleeding, trouble breathing, and heart failure. That is why it is so important to prevent heartworms and get immediate treatment if you suspect that your dog may have heartworms.  Popular de-worming medications include Panacur, Drontal, and Milbemax. Ask your veterinarian about these and other de-worming medications to treat and protect your dog. Remember that different dewormers kill different worms, and not all products kill all worm types. If your home is infested with fleas, then you will need to use some sort of spray or powder to get rid of them. Check with your veterinarian for recommendations or look for products that that labeled as pet safe. Do not use anything that may harm your dog if she comes in contact with it. Some worms, such as hookworms and ringworms, may be passed on from the mother dog to her babies in the womb or through her milk. Therefore, it is important to treat pregnant or nursing mother dogs for worms. Talk to your veterinarian to find the safest option for de-worming a pregnant or nursing dog. As you work with your veterinarian to protect your dog from worms, it may also help you to learn about some of the different types of worms that may infect your dog. The most common types of worms in dogs include:  Roundworms: Roundworms are long round worms which look a bit like string, noodles, or spaghetti. Roundworms are quite common and they pose a health risk to people, so it is important to control them. Most dogs are born with roundworms because the...

TL;DR in English: Give your dog a monthly flea prevention medicine. Talk to your veterinarian about a de-worming plan for your dog. Use a veterinarian-approved insecticide spray or powder to help control fleas in your home. Ask your veterinarian for help treating a pregnant dog for worms. Become familiar with worms that may infect your dog. Learn about treatment options.

This means canceling any plans you may have made and letting others (like your parents, family, or work) know that you are sick. If you feel sore or stiffness after staying in bed for a long time, try to stretch before going to sleep. You can do three-or-four stretching exercises while in bed. The more attention you can give to taking care of yourself, the better the chances that you’ll get well soon. Go wherever you can be comfortable and rest, like a bedroom or living room. If others are around, make sure they can help you rather than disturb you. Have whatever you need to make it through the illness nearby, which can include: blankets or robes to keep warm, a hot water bottle, books to read or movies to watch, fluids to drink, a bucket (if you feel nauseous), etc.  If you have a fever, also keep cool, damp cloths at hand. If you feel hot, place one on your forehead or elsewhere for some relief. Avoid smoking or exposure to second-hand smoke. The warmth will help soothe you so you will be primed to get comfortable and rest afterwards. Also, the steam moisturizes and soothes your nasal passages, which will make you feel better if you are congested. After the shower or bath, go back to the space you have set up to recuperate and stay warm by covering up with a blanket or robe. Sit back, relax, and stay comfortable.

TL;DR in English:


Prepare for the session. Provide one treat off the saucer, then withdraw the plate to the table. Stop the session when the treats are all gone or the cat loses interest. Begin to reward only more significant paw movements. Start to place your hand in the way of the cat’s paw as it comes back down. Raise your hand a little with each attempt towards the point where your cat is reaching its paw. Keep raising your hand higher and begin to rotate it to a horizontal position (palm facing to the side). Rotate your hand into the traditional “high five” position, with your fingers up and palm facing the cat. Continue the training.

Brochures are usually meant to be looked at quickly and carried around by readers. For this reason, most people use traditional letter-sized paper of 8.5” by 11” or smaller. However, you can go with a larger legal size, such as 8.5” by 14”, and count on the folds to minimize the actual final size. The larger your paper is the more difficult it will be to keep your folds straight. This is the most basic type of fold that you can create. Position the piece of paper horizontally in front of you. Fold it directly down the middle to create two equal interior panels. The result is a brochure that almost looks like a book cover with no pages inside. With the paper horizontal in front of you, use your ruler to divide the length of the paper into thirds. Mark where the 2 folds should be on the top and bottom of the page. Make the 2 folds and smooth them over with your hand. The 2 flaps on either side can now fold over the center panel.  This is a particularly good fold for people who want to print a “surprise message” in the center panel, as it stays covered by the outside flaps until fully opened. It’s also a good idea to keep the designs on the 2 outer flap covers consistent with one another. For example, it would look odd if the colors clashed in these two panels as they are directly on top of each other. Divide the paper into 3 panels. The first and third panels should be half of the width of the middle panel. So, take the length of the paper, divide it into fourths, and mark down the ¼ and ¾ measurements for folds. Make the folds and you’ll see that the 2 flanking panels can completely cover the center one.

TL;DR in English: Decide on a paper size. Do a half fold. Do a tri-fold. Do a gate fold.

Over-the-counter remedies do exist and are helpful, but there's no substitute for seeing a licensed doctor with a full arsenal of medical options. It is especially important to see a doctor for treatment if you have diabetes. Additionally, if you are troubled by corns that are causing you a lot of pain or do not respond well to home remedies, see your general practitioner or a get a referral to a podiatrist.  A medical professional can help you determine the cause of the corn so you can deal with the problem directly. Corns are most often caused by footwear that doesn't fit properly, excessive use of dress shoes, toe deformities, or problems with your posture or gait that pressure areas of your feet. Your doctor or podiatrist will most likely decide to remove the corn for you but will advise you that the corn will return if you do not resolve the condition that caused it. If the doctor suspects that an underlying physical abnormality (such as bunions or bone spurs) is contributing to your corns, they may recommend an x-ray or other imaging tests. These may include a change in footwear, padding to protect the area from friction or pressure, foot orthotics to change the pressure distribution on your feet, or a surgical correction for foot or toe problems. In some cases, corns may become infected. If you notice that your corn is painful, inflamed, or has a liquid discharge (pus or clear liquid), make an appointment with your doctor right away. If you are prone to infection, your doctor may also recommend a preventative antibiotic ointment.

TL;DR in English: See your doctor to have the corn assessed. Follow the doctor’s recommendations for corn management. Talk to your doctor about using antibiotics for infected corns.

Contacts are a medical device and should be treated as such.  This is true even if your eyesight is fine and you are only interested in turning your brown eyes into “baby blues” with colored lenses.  Taking the time to have a thorough eye exam by a licensed practitioner is the best way to ensure that you are suited to wearing contacts.  It also helps ensure that you get the type that will be most useful and comfortable for you, and that you will have access to proper guidance and care as needed. If you have dry eye or allergies, contacts may not be the best choice for you. Contact lens technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, but most contacts can basically be separated into the categories “soft” and “hard” (often called rigid gas permeable, or RGP).  Soft contacts are more flexible and fragile.  Some are meant to last only a day, while others can be used safely for months.  They are generally considered to be more comfortable to wear. Hard (RGP) contacts have a sturdier construction and are meant to last longer, even up to a couple of years.  They can be more uncomfortable and harder to adjust to at the start, but generally are considered to provide sharper vision. If having the sharpest possible vision is important to you, or you have specific eye needs, you and your eye doctor may lean towards RGP contacts.  Otherwise, most people are willing to sacrifice a tiny bit of vision clarity for the relative comfort and convenience of soft lenses. You may need to try different options to find what is right for you.  Your eye doctor should be more than willing to guide you through this process. Other categories of contacts include a rigid lens attached to a soft outer rim or skirt. When you find the contacts that work for you, the best way to make the adjustment period go smoothly is to closely follow all advice provided by your licensed provider and the instructions included with your particular brand of lenses.  Your eye doctor will want you to come in for a follow-up appointment to ensure that your eyes...

TL;DR in English: Always consult a licensed eye care professional. Compare hard and soft contact lens options. Follow proper guidance and instructions. Watch for common adjustment problems.

Place in slightly salted iced water for 10 minutes (note that salt will melt the cubes faster but it'll stay cold). Keep them as evenly sized as possible. Leave to dry slightly, to remove moisture. Add the banana slices in small batches and fry for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to add and retrieve the slices.  Add the two sugars, water and cinnamon to a heavy based saucepan. Cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves and thickens into a syrup. Turn off the heat source. Toss well to coat. Let cool and set. Place in an airtight container for storage.

TL;DR in English: Peel the bananas. Slice the bananas thinly. Arrange the banana slices on a wire rack. Heat the oil. Remove from the oil and drain on kitchen paper towels. Make the sugar syrup. Dip the fried bananas into the sugar syrup. Arrange on a wire rack covered in parchment paper. Serve or store.

” “Fair use” is a legal term that says some uses of copyrighted material are allowable, even without the owner's permission. This usually includes the use of a portion of the work for criticism, news reporting or teaching. For the use of a work to be considered within fair use, the use must be limited in scope, generally for a non-commercial purpose, and must not interfere with the widespread potential market of the original work. Copyright law is a federal system of statutes, and the statutes include several defenses that allow for use of a copyrighted work. Some of these include reproduction by libraries, educational use by teachers, and others. These statutory defenses of the copyright law appear at 17 U.S.C. §§107-122. You are not likely to get a demand letter from William Shakespeare for wrongfully using part of Romeo and Juliet, but it is possible that you may get a demand letter for using part of a work that is in the public domain. Copyrighted works are protected, approximately, for the life of the author and an additional 70 years. Beyond that, the work becomes available in the public domain and is free to be used.

TL;DR in English: Raise the defense of the “fair use doctrine. Research available statutory defenses. Assert that the original work is now in the public domain.

Place ten dabs of tuna or your cat’s preferred reward around the rim of a saucer or small dish.  Find a quiet spot and sit facing your cat.  Place a chair or small table nearby, to the cat’s paw-side you want to use for the “high five” — that is, to your left and the cat’s right for the right paw. Please note:  This is the most involved method described in the article, and is a simplified version of one described by “clicker training” pioneer Karen Pryor. If the cat makes any type of movement toward the saucer, immediately “click + treat” by returning the saucer to the floor.  If, however, the cat leaps onto the table after the treats, calmly return the cat to the floor and present the saucer for a treat. If the cat makes no movement, lure it to move by sliding your hand toward the treat table.  Immediately “click + treat” any movement. Take it up again in a few hours or the next day.  Training before mealtime is often most effective. “Click + treat” only when the cat lifts its paw deliberately, then only clearly towards the treat. Become increasingly particular about the movements that you reward.  Eventually make only an upward-lifted and extended paw worth a treat. Place your palm up, so that the cat’s paw brushes it on the way back down.  Immediately “click + treat” contact with your hand. Keep going until your hand is at the cat’s shoulder height. Slowly but surely, you are making your hand, not the saucer, the cat’s focus. Make your cat reach ever further to contact your hand.  Reward only deliberate, forceful contact. Remove the reward saucer from the process over time.  Provide small hand-held treats as needed to keep the training going. Presenting your hand in this manner will become the cue for the action by the cat. Practice in different rooms and different environments.  Let other people try by offering the cue.  Add a verbal cue such as “high five” into the mix.

Ask her out on a high note. You can do this by coming up to her in person where there are few other people, then wait till she is laughing, telling you something about herself, or staring at you intently. You can say something like, "I've been thinking a lot about you lately and would like to ask if you'd go out with me, just the two of us. I think we could have a great time." Asking her out to an activity is better than asking her out to immediately be your girlfriend because it doesn’t put pressure on her. Letting her know that it will just be the two of you and that you’ve been thinking about her sets it up as more than a friendly outing. Slip a note in her locker that says something like "Do you like me? Because I like you." and at the bottom of the note it could say, "Return your answer to locker 695." This can be taken as a fun cute way to have no commitment or pressure; however, it could also be taken as you being too shy to ask her in person. It's not a good idea to ask her when she's with her friends or in a big group because she could become self-conscious if they call attention to any awkwardness by saying "He totally likes you". Her friends could also embarrass you or her if they think you aren’t a good match.  Never get someone else to ask a girl out on your behalf because she may think that she is being pranked. Keep it casual so you don’t scare her off. The best way to ask her out is to do it in person or call/video chat her.  Don't text her asking if she wants to go out because it may be misinterpreted. Ask a few friends to go skating, to a movie, or to just hang out at your house. If you are close to her, invite her directly. You can also get a mutual friend who is closer to her to invite her. While everyone hangs out in the group, try not to overwhelm her by singling her out but still interact with her enough so that she's thinking of you. Ask her if she has a boyfriend or let her know that you don’t plan on making this uncomfortable or awkward by saying something like, "Wanna go out...

TL;DR in English: Have a plan. Meet her at her locker. Talk to her when she's alone. Have a group outing. Prepare for any obstacles. Keep the date simple.

The frets are the square or rectangular spaces on the neck. Hold down the fret that’s closest to where the neck and body of your guitar meet on the top string, otherwise known as the 6th string. This fret is usually the 12th fret on your guitar. Hold down the first fret with your other hand while continuing to hold down the fret closest to the body of the guitar. Doing this will allow you to see whether there is a gap between the strings and the neck of the guitar.  You can also hold down the first fret with a capo, which is a guitar tool used to hold down strings on the neck. Using a capo will make it easier to examine your guitar while holding down the strings. Look at the string and the neck of the guitar. There should be a gap about the width of a business card between the frets on the string that you’re holding down. Use a free finger to push down one of the frets on the top string. If the strings move a lot and there is a large gap, your neck has too much relief and you should tighten the truss rod. If the string doesn’t move at all and is tight against the neck with no gap, you’ll need to loosen the truss rod. The traditional setup is to have a very slight amount of curve in the neck, which is known as a concave bow. The truss rod cover is typically on the top of the neck of your guitar, near the tuning knobs, and looks almond shaped. You must remove this plastic or wood covering before you can make adjustments to the truss rod itself. Insert a Phillip’s head screwdriver into the top of the cover and turn it counterclockwise to remove it. This will reveal the tip of the truss rod. Once you remove the truss rod cover, you should see a hole with your truss rod in it. Use the truss rod wrench that came with your guitar or purchase one at a guitar store or online. Fit the wrench around the end of the truss rod and turn it clockwise a quarter turn to tighten it. This will reduce the bend in the neck and bring the strings closer to the neck in between the frets you’re holding down. If the gap between the...

TL;DR in English: Hold down the fret closest to the body on the top string. Hold down the first fret on the 6th string. Look and feel for a gap between the string and neck. Remove the screws in the truss rod cover on the neck of the guitar. Tighten the truss rod nut if there is a large gap. Loosen the truss rod nut if there is no gap in the neck. Screw the truss rod cover back on and wait a day.

Regular exercise will help you lose weight, lower the amount of unhealthy LDL cholesterol that you have, as well as increase your levels of good HDL cholesterol. Add at least half an hour of exercise or movement to your daily regimen so you can reap the benefits of healthy exercise.  Go for a walk or a light jog around your neighborhood to get some fresh air. Use cardiovascular exercise such as running, swimming, or cycling to work up a sweat and burn calories.  Add in some weight lifting exercises to build muscle and burn fat. Excessive drinking leads to weight gain and can elevate your blood pressure, both of which will negatively impact your HDL cholesterol. You may also be more inclined to make unhealthy food choices if you drink too much. To avoid negative effects on your cholesterol, always drink in moderation. 1-2 drinks won’t affect your HDL cholesterol levels, but don’t be tempted to indulge in that late-night cheeseburger! Smoking has a whole host of negative health impacts, but it’s particularly harmful to your heart and it reduces the amount of HDL cholesterol that you have. Stop smoking as soon as you can to increase your levels of HDL cholesterol. If you’re around others who smoke, try to avoid breathing in the secondhand smoke.  Quitting smoking will also lead to many other benefits such as healthy lungs, better skin, and improved blood pressure.

TL;DR in English: Do 30 minutes of exercise each day to boost your HDL levels. Drink alcohol in moderation to avoid weight gain or high blood pressure. Quit smoking to improve your cardiovascular health.

Look for a stem that’s green and sprouting leaves. It should also still be flexible.  It’s okay to take more than 1 cutting from the plant, as long as you don’t cut away more than one-third of the plant. Taking more cuttings from your jasmine increases your chances of successfully growing a new plant. It’s best to cut the stem just below a leaf. The stem is more likely to sprout healthy roots if you cut right below a leaf node.  A leaf node is the nub that the leaf grows from. You can also use a sharp knife or pair of sharp scissors. Make sure that you don’t plant any leaves beneath the surface of your potting soil. However, the cutting is more likely to root if the top few leaves are left on the stem.  Leave a few leaves at the top of the cutting while removing most of the leaves from the bottom. You can cut the leaves off the stem or pluck them with your fingers. Removing most of the leaves helps to balance the growth between roots and leaves. This helps to ensure that your cutting will take. Flowers naturally try to seed and will take nutrients from the rest of the plant to do so. Additionally, dying flowers will mold, damaging the rest of the cutting.  You can cut the flowers off or pinch them off. Don’t take cuttings from stems that are in bloom. Even if a flower is cut off, it will still be in the bloom stage.

TL;DR in English: Select a healthy, semi-hard stem that grew in the current year. Use small pruning shears to cut 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) of stem. Remove the leaves from the bottom of the cutting. Deadhead any flowers from the cutting.

TL;DR in English:


Consider paying the ETF. Cancel the contract and pay the fee. Think about selling your current phone.

If you've been playing guitar for any period of time, you'll likely start to notice that you naturally fall into the same strumming patterns each time you play or write a song. The best way to avoid this is to try and duplicate strumming patterns from your favorite artists, pushing yourself to widen your rhythmic tool belt.  Can you mix some single notes into your strumming? For example, a very country-western technique is to pick the root note, then strum the chord separately right afterwards. Remember to strum both up and down when playing. How can you use muted strings (by lifting your fingers lightly off the frets) to get a percussive sound in your strumming? Check the Violent Femmes for good examples. A rhythm guitarist, it goes without saying, needs to be able to stay in rhythm. The problem is that a guitarist's primary training is in melody, as drummers generally provide the rhythm for you to follow along to. However -- the ability to stay perfectly and precisely in time separates the amateurs from the pros, as perfect rhythm has an indescribable ability to make people dance.  Spend at least 5-10 minutes a day on a metronome, if not the entire practice session. Always start at a pace where you can play the notes perfectly instead of rushing through. Gradually up the tempo as you get faster. Many metronomes can be set to click off for a few beats, forcing you to stay in time on your own before they come back in. This is a great way to test yourself. Many times, especially with electric guitars and distortion, playing too many notes at once can sound muddled or messy. Many jazz chords require skipping strings in the middle of the chord to sound correct. Great guitarists pull this off but using the pads of their fingers to dampen the strings below the strings they're fretting. For example, the following jazz chord is formed by using the bottom of your middle finger to mute the A string, allowing you to freely strum all six strings without the A sounding out:  |e|----7----| |B|----7----| |G|----7----|...

TL;DR in English: Push yourself past your most common strumming patterns. Practice daily with a metronome, percussionist, or both. Learn to dampen bum notes to clean up your chords. Teach yourself 1-2 new chords a week. Use capos to place difficult-to-sing songs into your vocal range. Learn the value of groove by paying close attention to bass and drum techniques. Use dynamics, or volume control, to create unique and captivating rhythm parts. Experiment with alternate tunings.

This is the beginning stance for the "T-Step." Lift it about half a foot (15 cm) off the ground, by lifting your knee up and inward while your calf and foot extend away from your body. As you lift your right foot, your left foot should shuffle inward, so your toes are pointing inward instead of outward. This should happen at the same time as you lift your right foot. Point your right foot down and outward, just until your toes or ball of your foot touches the ground. This is a fast motion, so you don't have to firmly plant your foot on the ground. As you point your right foot back down, shuffle your left foot outward so that your toes are pointing outward. Practice combining the movements of your right foot and your left. Keep moving to the right, in the direction of your pointed foot, as you lift and lower your right foot while you shuffle your left foot inward and outward. Once you master this technique, your right foot should lift exactly when your left foot turns inward, and your right foot should point downward when your left foot turns outward. Once you've taken at least five steps to the right, you can switch to the left side. As your right foot hits the ground one last time, switch it to your "shuffling" foot, and begin to lift and lower your left foot as your right foot shuffles inward and outward to the left. After you've taken at least five steps to the left, switch back to the right, and keep on going until you've mastered the shuffle -- or if you just need a water break. Though the "T-Step" is all about the footwork, you can let your arms fall a bit away from your sides, moving in when your knee goes in, and moving out when your knee goes out.

TL;DR in English: Stand with your feet about 1 foot (0.3 meters) apart. Lift your right foot and shuffle your left foot inward. Point your right foot back down as you shuffle your left foot outward. Take at last five steps to the right. Move to the left. Continue shuffling sideways.

Nearly all gift baskets have some type of theme, and choosing a theme makes it easier to plan the contents of the basket. Choose the theme of your gift basket before you do anything else.  Sometimes, the theme is based on an occasion or set of circumstances. For example, you might plan a Christmas-themed basket around the holidays, a "get well soon" basket for someone who's ill, or a house-warming basket for couple who recently purchased their first home. Since these baskets are fairly generic, they tend to be easier to plan. Other times, you may determine the theme of the basket based on the receiver's personality or interests. For example, you might plan a spa basket for a workaholic who regularly needs to unwind, a romantic basket for your significant other, or a gardening basket for someone with a green thumb. Since these baskets are not dependent on outside circumstances, they tend to be more versatile. You can include store-bought items, homemade items, or a combination of both in your gift basket. Make sure that the items you choose fit your chosen theme, though.  For example, if you choose a food theme, you should only include edible items or related non-edible items in the basket. You shouldn't fill a basket with cheese, crackers, and wines, then throw in a random packet of flower seeds or bottle of scented lotion. To save money, consider shopping at dollar stores and other discount shops. Gift baskets contain multiple items, and if you don't set a budget for yourself, you can easily overspend while creating them. While wicker baskets are the most common choice, you can pick from baskets made of different materials. The "basket" doesn't even have to be a basket—boxes, bags, and jars may also work, depending on the overall theme.  Note that baskets can be made of wood, plastic, fabric, and metal. Wood baskets work well for traditional gifts, but they may not be durable enough for gift baskets given to children. For kids, choose a basket made of plastic or fabric. You can also use gift boxes, gift...

TL;DR in English: Decide on a theme. Make or buy the gift items. Choose an appropriate basket. Layer filler in the bottom of the basket. Arrange the gift items inside. Wrap the entire basket. Attach an enclosure card, if desired.

Cold weather can be very drying to your hands, causing cuticles to crack and peel.  Therefore, it is important to pay special attention to protecting your hands in wintertime, or whenever you are experiencing very cold weather. Always wear gloves when you are outdoors and remember to carry a small hand cream in your purse that you can apply at regular intervals. People who tend to bite their nails or nibble at their cuticles are much more likely to develop dry, peeling skin around their fingers than those who don't.  You are also at risk of developing an infection, as your mouth contains bacteria which can easily transfer to your nails. Saliva also contains enzymes which break down the skin, leading to further dryness. Therefore one of the most effective measures you can take to prevent dry, peeling cuticles is to stop biting and keep your hands away from your mouth. To help you, you can purchase special foul-tasting ointments for your nails. They make your fingers taste so bad that you'll think twice before biting again! Having dry hands can accelerate the cracking and peeling of cuticles, so make sure to protect them from any unnecessary exposure to drying agents.  Frequently washing the dishes in hot, soapy water can be very drying for your hands, so protect them by wearing rubber gloves every time you do the washing up. If you don't like wearing the gloves, then at least invest in a more moisturizing dish soap designed to hydrate hands as you wash. When your nails get wet, make sure they thoroughly dry. Steer clear of acetone-based nail polish removers, as these sap moisture from your nails like nobody's business. You should also try to keep hand washing to a minimum, as frequent washing removes important natural oils from the surface of the skin and nails. . A healthy, balanced diet will provide the vitamins and minerals your body needs for healthy hair, skin, and nails. Your cuticles will be moist, and your nails will grow more quickly. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits, choosing organic options when...

TL;DR in English: Protect your hands from cold weather. Keep your fingers away from your mouth. Avoid drying agents. Eat a healthy diet Stay hydrated Choose your manicurists carefully.

Use at least 4 seed potatoes to get started. Seed potatoes grow root sprouts, which you use to grow potatoes. Potatoes don’t grow from traditional “seeds.” Use seed potatoes with 1-4 sprouts per potato for best results. For best results, use small to medium seed potatoes. Place each of your seed potatoes inside an individual cell of the carton. Keep the sprouts pointed upwards so they can continue to grow. You can spread out the potatoes across the egg carton rather than placing them immediately next to each other. Place your seed potatoes on a kitchen table near a sunny window, and keep an eye out for sturdy, green shoots. When kept in bright light around 60–70 °F (16–21 °C), potatoes often grow quickly and healthy. You can place your potatoes on any flat surface in a sunny space. When your seed potato sprouts reach around 1⁄2–1 in (1.3–2.5 cm), they are ready for your garden. To grow as many potatoes as possible, use a whole seed potato. To grow larger potatoes, use a knife to chop your potatoes so each chunk has 1-2 sprouts.  Whole seed potatoes grow smaller potatoes overall, but you’ll have a lot of them. Use potatoes with 4-5 sprouts. Chopped up seed potatoes grow large-sized potatoes but fewer quantities.

TL;DR in English: Purchase sprouted seed potatoes from a farmers market or nursery. Put the potatoes in an egg carton with the sprouts pointing upwards. Leave your seed potatoes in a warm location for 2-3 weeks. Plant your potatoes when the sprouts are 1⁄2–1 in (1.3–2.5 cm) long.

Sometimes it just pays to fork over the ETF, and be done with the aggravation. If you’ve made up your mind that this is the route you want to take, find out the exact amount you owe by contacting the carrier directly. Notify the carrier of your decision. You may have to do this by phone, so a terribly distraught customer service representative can try to convince you to ease his or her pain by staying with the company. Maybe they’ll offer you an incentive to stay, like a phone upgrade even if you’re not due for one. If an incentive doesn’t do it for you, find out how the ETF will be paid, cancel, and bid the carrier farewell. You’re probably planning on moving to a new carrier, and taking advantage of one of their phone offers (especially since trying to convert your current phone to a new carrier’s system can be a hassle, at best). If that’s the case, think about selling your phone as a way of offsetting some of the ETF you had to pay. Companies like Gazelle.com and Glyde.com handle these types of transactions.
