Not all dealers are as accommodating to low or poor credit scores. You will need to find a dealer that is willing to work with your credit to get you the loan that you want.  Some dealers specialize in this and have unique relationships with lenders that are ready to work with you.  You will need to speak with the dealer's finance team or department directly to learn if they can help you. Inform them clearly of your situation. You won't get an accurate picture of how likely you are to be financed if you don't convey your exact credit situation to your dealers finance team. You may not need to submit an application for financing to learn if you will get the loan or not.  A capable finance manager should be able to tell you how likely you are to receive the loan when you do actually apply. It may be tempting to apply wherever you can in an attempt to successfully get your application accepted. However, applying to many lenders at once can actually hurt your credit score further. You should also know that not all lenders are ideal for a motorcycle loan.  Apply only to lenders that specialize in personal loans or in motorcycle loans. Look for key terms such as bad credit, poor credit, no credit, motorcycle financing, or after bankruptcy loans. Remember, though, that bankruptcy will typically not be a factor if it has been discharged for two or more years. Loans made to people with bad credit may have higher interest rates. Be fully aware of the conditions of your loan before accepting. A co-signer to a loan is another person that promises to take on payments if you are unable. If your co-signer has a better credit score than you, this can help you to obtain the loan you are seeking.  Your co-signer should have excellent credit. Having a co-signer helps assure your lender that they are more likely to receive their payments. If you have made payments on another motorcycle, you can demonstrate your consistency on those payments. Despite your low credit score, by showing your previous motorcycle payments were always...

TL;DR in English: Talk with your dealer. Find the right lender. Inform your lender if you have a co-signer. Demonstrate your payments on a previous motorcycle. Make a larger down payment.

It's important to give your Cavalier new experiences, especially while he's still very young (before 18 weeks old). He'll consider the new sights and sounds to be normal which can help build his confidence. This socialization will also prevent over-anxious behavior as he gets older. Make sure your Cavalier meets a wide range of people, dogs, and experiences. You can take your dog to a socialization class run by your vet or a reputable trainer in the area. Train your Cavalier in small doses and often. Keep the sessions to five minutes at a time and do them three times a day. Your dog will respond better to this than if you do one long half-hour session. Choose a time when your dog isn't hungry or tired, so he pays attention. Stop the session if he looses interest. Always try to end on a positive note, with a command you know your dog can do. Use a clicker to teach your dog to associate a click-clack sound with receiving a reward when he obeys a command. Practice by throwing a treat on the floor and let your Cavalier eat it. As soon as he goes to the treat, press the clicker. Repeat this till he associates the click-clack sound with looking for a treat. Start giving commands and when he obeys, press the clicker as his reward. For example, when your Cavalier toilets outside, immediately press the clicker so he knows he's being rewarded for toileting in the right place. When you use the clicker training, always start with a verbal command word. For example, say "Sit" and click once he follows the command. Once he's comfortable following verbal commands with the clicker reward, stop using the clicker, but continue to use verbal commands. For example, you could run a few steps away from your Cavalier while slapping your leg and calling his name. He'll instinctively want to keep close to you, so this is good practice in responding to his name. Your Cavalier will only associate punishment with you instead of the action you dislike. This can damage your relationship, actually making it harder to train him. Instead,...

TL;DR in English: Expose your dog to others. Choose good times to train. Clicker train your dog. Use verbal commands. Never hit or yell at your dog.

Preheat oven to 350° degrees Fahrenheit or 176° Celsius. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix using a whisk until the dry ingredients are well-combined. Pour in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, white vinegar, and water. Stir using a whisk or blend using a hand blender, until the cake batter forms and there are no more flour streaks. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the cake batter into both of the cake pans. Remove any leftover batter by scraping the edges of the bowl. Place both cake pans in the oven to bake. Have the cake bake for about 45 minutes, until the cake rises and is fluffy. Remove both pans from the oven and have the cakes cool for about twenty minutes on a wire rack. Leave both cakes until they are cool enough to touch. Consider stacking both cakes to make a two-layer chocolate cake. Frost with chocolate buttercream frosting and/or decorate with any desired toppings such as berries, powdered sugar, coconut flakes, and sprinkles Slice the chocolate cake and serve on a serving plate. Enjoy!

Immunotherapy, also called Allergen Specific Immunotherapy (ASIT), is usually the best choice for treating CAD. It can help your Golden Retriever achieve remission (no visible signs of CAD) without the use of other medications (e.g., steroids, antihistamines). ASIT works by gradually desensitizing your dog’s immune system to the allergens causing the CAD. The immunotherapy medicine, commonly given by injection, contains small amounts of the specific allergens to which your Golden Retriever is allergic.  By exposing your Golden Retriever to small, measured amounts of the allergens (rather than a large, uncontrolled amount in the environment), your dog’s immune system would slowly become more tolerant of the allergens over time, therefore lessening the allergic reaction.  Results of the skin tests your vet performed to diagnose CAD would indicate the specific allergens. Immunotherapy is most helpful for dogs that have skin allergies for longer than two to three months at a time and have not responded well to other skin allergy medications. It is a lifelong treatment. Immunotherapy injections are usually given about once every one to four weeks. Your vet will let you know how often your Golden Retriever will need the injections. It may help to schedule several appointments at one time to make sure your dog receives stays on schedule with the treatment. At the beginning of immunotherapy, your vet will increase the dosage of allergens until a maintenance dosage is reached. Your vet will determine the maintenance dosage and keep your Golden Retriever at this dosage level. Your vet may change the frequency of injections during the course of therapy. This may be the hardest part of immunotherapy, since it may take anywhere from a few months to a full year before a dog responds to this type of therapy. Because your Golden Retriever will not respond to immunotherapy very quickly, your vet will recommend treating your dog with other skin allergy medications during the course of immunotherapy.  Before starting...

TL;DR in English: Ask your vet how immunotherapy works. Have your vet perform the immunotherapy injections. Wait for a treatment response.

To ensure that any type of worms are caught and treated before the case becomes advanced, see a veterinarian regularly.  For preventative purposes, it's a good idea to get your dog's feces tested at least once a year.  If your dog spends a lot of time outdoors or with other dogs, if your dog hunts and eats live prey, or if you live in an area where any of these parasites are especially common, it is a good idea to have your dog's stool tested more frequently. Preventing heartworm is safer and cheaper than treating it, so  you should start puppies on heartworm prevention medication as young as 8 weeks of age. Many of the preventatives available for heartworms are are also effective in reducing the risk of intestinal parasites, making the use of these medicines doubly important.  There are many forms of Heartworm prevention medications available and your veterinarian can advise you of your options.  The most common heartworm preventatives are available in both oral and topical forms. Many heartworm preventatives also help to prevent fleas and ticks.  While no one product prevents all parasites, your veterinarian will help you decide which product is most appropriate for your pet's health.  Heartworm prevention is typically administered or applied monthly, although there is one variety that can be administered as a long-acting injection and lasts six months.This medication only prevents heartworms and does not protect against intestinal parasites. If you live in an area where heartworm prevention is not required, there are medications such pyrantel pamoate, fenbendazole and praziquantel that can be administered that treat only intestinal parasites. Tapeworm infections occur most commonly as a result of dogs eating fleas, so keeping your dog free of these nuisance insects is the best way to prevent tapeworms.  There are several over-the-counter topical and oral flea prevention medications, as well as prescription flea products, that effectively manage fleas and therefore control tapeworm infection.  Although not...

TL;DR in English: Get your dog checked regularly. Administer a heartworm preventative. Keep your dog free of fleas. Clean up the poop.

Bundling is a packing method used to greatly reduce wrinkles and creases. You'll wrap each garment around a core object, creating a snug bundle in the process.  Since this method requires you to wrap your clothes, you won't actually do any folding. The lack of folding results in a lack of creases. Wrapping items of clothing around a core and around each other also creates tension. This tension minimizes wrinkling. Find an organizer pouch with surface dimensions that are approximately 11 inches by 16 inches (30 cm by 40 cm).  The best dimensions can vary slightly depending on how many clothes you plan to pack and how wide your suitcase is. This size works well for most circumstances, though. You can technically use any small object with fixed dimensions like these. Since you can fill the pouch with other necessities, however, it is typically your best option. Roll or fold the socks and undergarments you plan to pack and carefully arrange them inside the pouch.  Similar items, like swimsuits, can also be packed in your pouch. Place soft items in this pouch, and fill the pouch with enough of these items to create a firm pillow. The idea is to make a firm core, but it should not be a rigid one. Do not put anything in your pouch that you need quick access to. Take the time to iron out any major creases or wrinkles before you pack any of your garments. Correct bundling should prevent additional wrinkles from forming, but it will not remove any wrinkles currently in your clothes. Secure all fasteners on all garments. Button your shirts and jackets, zipper any trousers or skirts, and snap up any pockets. Closed surfaces will be easier to wrap than wide, open surfaces. Clear your bed or a large area on a table or floor. It will be easiest to create your bundle in a flat spot with little clutter. Another option is to open your suitcase wrap the bundle directly inside. Doing so is more difficult and not ideal, but it can work in situations where wide space is not an option. Large wrinkle-prone garments will need to be...

Pick out a ring that is meaningful to your partner. Assess the "Four Cs" when deciding on a gemstone. Choose the right style. Make it a surprise.

Keeping your bag tightly stuffed or rolled for long periods of time will make it lose loft, which is what traps hot air to keep you warm. While you want to roll your bag tightly to travel with, you should never store your bag compressed or jammed in a stuff-sack. Loosely roll your bag, or let it rest, lightly folded, when it is not in use. The layering on the outside of these bags is great at keeping air out when you need to stay warm, but it can keep air in when you need it to escape for packing. Turn these bags inside out, zip them up, and then roll them as normal. These bags come with several straps and cinches that let you pull down on the top of the bag and get it even smaller. They are usually waterproof, and you can often get a large enough bag the lets you stuff several other items, like shirts or camping pillows, in with the bag. Always start packing by the tail if you use a stuff sack -- this allows the air in the bag to escape through the top. While you should never stuff your bag and store it fully compressed, good bag care requires brushing out any dirt, twigs, and leaves and letting the bag dry out completely when your trip is over. Mold and mildew will grow if your bag is allowed to be stored wet, and it is tough to remove once it grows. Let the bag rest outside on a dry day for several hours and brush out any debris. UV light can damage the sleeping bag fibers, so take care not to leave the bag in the sun all day. A few loose pieces of down is not uncommon in new sleeping bags. Gently work the quills back into the bag, pulling from the back side whenever possible. The holes will close back up and the insulation should settle with time.

TL;DR in English: Know that prolonged compression will make your bag less effective. Turn wind or water resistant bags inside out. Use a stuff-sack for tighter packing. Air out your bag when you return from your trip. Gently pull any leaking down feather back into the bag.

Bathroom policies will vary from school to school, teacher to teacher, and grade to grade. If you do not understand the bathroom policy, ask your teacher or professor to explain the rules and procedures to you. If you can not remember the restroom rules, ask your teacher to remind you of the rules. If you can not comply with any part of the bathroom policy, set up a meeting with your parents, teacher, and principal to discuss the concern and develop a solution you can all agree on.  In elementary, middle, and high school, you may be required to ask for permission to use the restroom. In college and graduate school, most professors will let your come and go from the classroom as you please. When you do get up to use restroom, leave and re-enter the room quietly and discretely. If you are an exchange student, ask your host family, roommate, teacher, or professor to explain the country's cultural norms regarding using the bathroom at school. Before asking to use the bathroom, make sure it is a convenient time for you to ask this question. Ask yourself, “Is it a good time to talk to my teacher and leave the classroom?”  Avoid asking your teacher to use the bathroom when they are in the middle of giving instructions, during the middle of a lecture, or during a lesson. Do ask your teacher to use the restroom during independent work times, when you have finished all of your class work, or after you have completed a test. If it is an emergency, remain calm and ask your teacher immediately. When it comes to asking to use the restroom, each teacher has a different policy. While some teachers prefer the traditional method of raising your hand to ask for permission, other teachers find this practice disrupting. Instead, they insist that their students use a special hand signal.  Raise your hand, wait patiently to be called on, and ask for permission to use the restroom. “May I please go to the restroom, Mr./Mrs/Ms. ____.” Raise your hand with the special signal (perhaps crossed fingers) and patiently wait for a response....

TL;DR in English: Determine your teacher's restroom policy. Choose an appropriate time to ask if you may use the bathroom. Ask to use the bathroom. Respect your teacher’s answer.

Targeted referral requests tend to generate a better response than mass emails or a general request on your website. Reach out to individual clients directly. Try to target clients with whom you have a good, well-established relationship. If a client trusts you and is familiar with your work, they’re more likely to give you a great referral. The best time to ask for a referral is while you are still actively completing a project with a client. That way, the client is still fully engaged with you, and has a clear idea of what kind of work you do. There’s no need to beat around the bush. If you’ve been doing great work for a client, it’s completely reasonable to ask for a referral. You can make the request in person, over the phone, or through email.  For example, if you decide to request a referral via email, let your client know what you are asking for within the first couple of sentences. You might start with something like, “Dear Robert, As I work toward expanding my practice over the coming year, I am reaching out to trusted clients to help me generate more business.” Your client will be better able to help you if they know exactly what you’re looking for. Target your request to someone the client is likely to be familiar with, or someone who has similar needs to the client’s. For example, instead of just asking, “Do you know anyone else who might need a real estate agent?” try asking, “Do you know any other young couples looking for a starter home in this price range?”

TL;DR in English: Make your request personal. Ask while you are still working with the client. Be direct. Be specific about what kinds of referrals you want.

Water is essential for preventing kidney stones, but it can also help to promote good kidney function. If you are concerned about kidney disease, then you should try to drink more water. Make it your goal to drink between 6 and 8 8  fl oz (240 mL) glasses of water every day. If you are at risk of kidney stones, then you should drink even more water per day. Keep in mind that if your doctor has recommended a specific fluid intake for you, then you should stick to this recommendation. High protein diets can “overload” the kidneys, so it is important to eat only a moderate amount of protein to keep your kidneys healthy. About 20 to 30% of your calories should come from protein. For example, if you ate 2,000 calories in a day, then your calories from protein should be between 400 and 600 calories. You can determine whether or not you are meeting this goal by keeping track of what you eat and paying special attention to your calories from high-protein foods. High-protein foods include things like meat, eggs, fish, and dairy products. Sodium can also cause problems for your kidneys, so it is best to avoid high-sodium foods and reduce your sodium intake as much as possible. You can reduce the sodium in your diet by cooking your own food and by limiting the amount of prepared and processed foods that you eat.  If you do use any prepared foods, make sure that you read the labels and avoid foods with added salt. Keep track of how much sodium you eat each day. You should try to stay below 2,300 mg per day if you are under 51 years old and under 1,500 mg per day if you are over 51 years old. Low-fat foods will help to protect your kidneys as well as your heart and arteries. Try to steer clear of high-fat foods like fried foods, baked goods, and other fat-laden dishes. Instead, choose low-fat foods such as:  Lean cuts of meat Low-fat cheese Low-fat milk Poultry with the skin removed Fruits Vegetables Beans If you have kidney disease that is more advanced, then you may need to limit your phosphorus intake. Make sure to...

TL;DR in English: Drink more water. Eat a moderate amount of protein. Reduce your sodium intake. Choose foods that are low in fat. Limit phosphorus if you have been told to do so. Watch your potassium intake if you have been advised to do so.

This "truss" is the basic structure of the pyramidal design. Prop two cards together into an inverted "V" shape. The top edges of the cards should meet, and the bottom edges should be evenly spaced apart from a central axis. Spend some time practicing this process. You'll need to repeat it over and over again in the construction of your house. Create a steady line of triangular trusses, two cards each. The point of each triangle should be no more than one card's length from the point of the next triangle. The number of triangles in the foundation determines the possible height of your house of cards: each "floor" will be built upon one less triangle than the floor below. For instance, if you build a three-triangle foundation, you'll be able to go up three "floors" before the house reaches a point; if you build a six-triangle foundation, you'll have more space to build, and you'll be able to go up six floors. Start with a three-floor house. Brace each new triangle against the base of the adjacent triangle. Eventually, you should have three triangles (using six cards, total) that are all touching. Gently lay a flat card on top of the first two triangles (say, 1 and 2). Make sure that the card is perfectly balanced between the points. Now, lay another card between Triangles 2 and 3. You should have a "foundation" of three triangles with two flat cards on top. This takes eight cards, total. If your foundation comprises three triangles, the next "floor" up should use two triangles. Try to stack each new triangle at the same angle as the two triangles below, for the sake of structural integrity. Place the base of each card above the point of a lower triangle. When you have formed these two triangles, lay one flat card on top between their points.  Be extremely careful. If you built the foundation well, it should be strong enough to hold up these new cards – but you will need to keep from knocking the whole thing over with a tremble or sudden movement. Stack the new cards lightly and cautiously. When you've finished...

TL;DR in English: Form the first triangle. Build the foundation. Brace the triangles. Build the next layer of cards. Add the point.

Research your partner's style preferences to find out what kind of ring would make them happy. Have they always wanted a brilliant diamond, or would it be more dazzling to have the ring set with a colorful stone? Pay attention when your partner mentions what kind of styles they like, and take a look at some of their other jewelry for comparison. A wedding proposal is a momentous occasion, and they've probably been dreaming all their life about the day someone pops the question with the perfect ring.  Having an engagement ring set with your partner's birthstone can be a moving alternative to the traditional diamond.  Using your partner's other jewelry for reference can save you a lot of trouble weeding out options. For instance, if most of the rings and necklaces they own are silver, it's a safe bet that they are partial to silver over other decorative metals. In jeweler’s lingo, the “four Cs” refer to the Cut, Carat, Clarity, and Color of diamonds and other precious gemstones. These are the most important qualities to look for when shopping for a ring set with a stone, and since you’ll be shelling out a lot of money for it, it can pay to know how to appraise what you’re shown. If you have a notion of what you’re after in terms of each “C,” you’ll also have a much easier time communicating your needs to the jewelry specialist.  Cut deals with the shape and texture of a stone. These might come in their raw forms, or they can be cut with precise angles for greater symmetry and appeal. Carat is a term that denotes a stone’s size. The higher the number of carats, the bigger the rock, and the more you can expect to pay for it. Clarity is a desirable trait of gemstones that have a uniform, translucent appearance and are lacking any unwanted imperfections in shape. Color refers to the natural hues of a stone, and is largely a matter of preference. Diamonds of the highest purity are most often clear or opalescent, but they can also be red, pink or blue, and some of these colors are exceedingly rare and valuable....

Online prose is often highly-referential, witty, and relentlessly current. If you want to put your content online and eventually get paid for it, it's a good idea to focus on developing your voice as a writer and in making your content as engaging and sharp as possible.  Work on your voice and writing voice-driven content. Online content will vary depending on the venue, but will often have a strong first-person "I," with an emphasis on subjective "views" on subjects, rather than objective analyses. The world of online writing is more niche-driven, and less broadcast, so we look for strong voices and unique personalities as readers. The introduction and the titles to online content are some of the most important parts of the copy. Since there's so much content online to click around, your writing needs to grab the reader in the first few lines, making it critical that you learn to break the silence quickly and effectively. Your hooks should be severe.  All you need to do to see this in action is check your email and look for the headlines: "You've Been Eating Breakfast Wrong" and "Consider Switching Bank Accounts if Your Bank is Not on this List" are instantly attention-grabbing. Even if you're completely happy with your bank and your corn flakes, there's a worm of doubt these writers have learned to grow in readers. You can't not click. Sites like Buzzfeed, The Onion, and Upworthy live or die by the funny content they provide. While online content is often serious and often informative, you'll make your skills much more amenable to world of online content if you've got a great sense of humor. For the most part, copy that you'll be writing for the internet needs to be short and to-the-point, usually in the neighborhood of 500-800 words per article.

Speak to your doctor prior to gaining any weight.  It's important to get your doctor's perspective on how much weight-gain is appropriate for you.  In addition, they may be able to refer you to a registered dietitian for additional one-on-one counseling.  Talk to your doctor about why you want to gain weight, how much weight you want to gain, and how you think it will improve your health. Visit the EatRight website and click on the orange "Find an Expert" button on the top right to search for a dietitian in your area. Before starting a new diet to help you gain weight, find out how much weight you want or need to gain.  This information will help determine your eating pattern and give you a timeline to track your progress.  One way to determine how much weight you should gain is to calculate your BMI.  You can use a a formula like this one or use an online calculator.  If your BMI is less than 18, this signifies that you are underweight and may need to gain weight.  Then calculate how much you would need to weigh to have your BMI fall between 19-24.9 (healthy/normal range).  The difference between these two values can give you some insight into an appropriate amount of weight gain. You can also calculate your body fat percentage or have your doctor, dietitian, or even a trainer at your local gym calculate this for you.  For an average woman, body fat percentage should fall between 25%–31%.  For an average man, body fat percentage should fall between 18%–25%.  If you exercise regularly or you are an athlete, your body fat percentage might be lower. In general, women's body fat percentage should never fall below 14% and men's shouldn't fall below 6%.  If your body fat percentage is low (especially if you're not an athlete), this may also indicate the need for weight gain. Ask your doctor what is an appropriate weight range for your gender, age, and height. When aiming to gain weight, your focus should be gaining lean muscle mass and minimize gains in body fat.  Large increases in body fat is not recommended....

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor. Calculate how much weight you want to gain. Count calories. Purchase a food journal.

, if need be. Relationships strain when one or both partners feel hurt – whether because of a fight, careless words, or long-term resentments. All relationships go through this to some extent. The important thing is to reach out and apologize when you’ve done wrong. Apologizing shows your commitment to your partner and the relationship.   To apologize well, you have to be sincere, specific, and recognize the hurt you caused. Accept your role in having damaged trust or respect in the relationship. This doesn’t mean accepting all responsibility, but owning up to your part.  Be sincere and specific. Only apologize to make amends and heal damage and not for some other ulterior reason. At the same time, be specific about what you are apologizing for and how it hurt the other person. For example, “I’m very sorry that I stormed off during our argument. I can see that it hurt you and made you feel humiliated. Please forgive me.” Avoid weasel-worded apologies. These don’t really accept any responsibility and come off as insincere, i.e. “I’m sorry if what I did offended you” or “I’m sorry if you took it the wrong way.” Don’t request an apology in return. Mutual forgiveness is important, but your partner may need time to process their feelings. Asking for an apology will only seem like a demand. An apology is only the first part of reaching out. It won’t fix things but can break the ice and start the healing process. Don’t be surprised if your partner reacts emotionally or even interrupts you. Resist the urge to interrupt and defend yourself, though, and instead be patient and respectful and listen.  Try not to react defensively or insist on “finishing” your side of the story. Your first urge may be to correct or refute your partner, but instead let them speak. By showing patience, you also let your partner speak openly without fear or reprisal and demonstrate that you’re serious about healing the rift. Keep in mind that the point of an apology is to heal the relationship. It is not about proving who was right and who...

TL;DR in English: Apologize Listen to your partner. Leave the door open, but don’t over-pursue.

The easiest and quickest way to do this would be in a food processor fitted with metal blades. If you don't have a food processor, simply place the cookies into a plastic, resealable bag, and whack them with a rolling pin. When you are done, there should be no large chunks left. If you can't find Oreo cookies, try another type of chocolate sandwich cookie. You can melt the butter in a dish in the microwave, or in a small saucepan on the stove. Keep stirring until the butter and cookies are evenly mixed together. You can use a spoon or a rubber spatula to do this. The pie pan can be made out of metal or glass. Most bakers find that glass pie pans heat more evenly than metal ones. You can do this using your hands, the back of a spoon, or a rubber spatula. Make sure to press down firmly, or the crust won't hold together very well. If you don't want to get your hands dirty, cover the crust mixture with plastic wrap first. During this time, the melted butter will harden, an make your crust more solid.

TL;DR in English: Crush 22 Oreo cookies into a fine crumble. Melt ¼ cup (55 grams) of butter, and let it cool enough to handle. Combine the melted butter and crushed cookies in a bowl. Place the mixture into a 9 inch (22.86 centimeters) wide pie pan. Spread the mixture across the bottom and sides of the pan. Place the pie pan into the fridge, and wait at least 1 hour.

Taking care of yourself weeks and even months prior to plastic surgery with good nutrition will help you to heal faster.  Also be sure to drink plenty of fluids and eat a balanced diet after surgery to help your body get the nutrients it needs to mend quickly.   Quit smoking to help speed up the healing process. Plastic surgery is generally done in hopes of altering one's appearance. However, it is important to note that a perceived "improvement" in appearance will not equate to perfection. There is only so much that can be done surgically to change one's appearance, so if you are expecting perfection you will be setting yourself up for disappointment.  Be careful that you do not have unrealistic hopes for plastic surgery or for the anticipated change.  Some people inadvertently seek out plastic surgery in hopes that it will "solve problems" in other areas of their life — for instance, in hopes that it may save a bad relationship, help their career prospects, cause them to be more popular in their circle of friends, or cause them to be more appealing on the dating scene. It is important to get honest with yourself about your expectations for the surgery, as well as the reasons you are doing it so as not to have your hopes too high and be disappointed. Your family and friends can be an important moral support, especially during the initial stages of healing. You may have pain, trouble completing ordinary tasks around the house, and/or potential feelings of disappointment as the positive results of your surgery will often not be seen fully until some healing has taken place, potentially months down the line. (In other words, plastic surgery tends to look worse before it looks better, as your body needs to heal the wounds and get rid of the swelling, so support during this time is key).  Depending upon how major of a surgery you underwent, you may have activity restrictions for the first while as you are recovering. If this is the case, your family and friends can help you with the tasks of day-to-day life that...

Lighten up your hair. Get the surfer wave in your locks. Mix and match your bikinis. Shop the surf brands. Add some jewelry. Go barefoot!

Many studies have shown that regular and consistent physical activity is the best way to fight fatigue and increase your energy.  Health professionals think that regular exercise helps increase the release of energy-promoting neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine which helps you beat the fatigue.  In addition, health professionals recommend doing at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity each day.  In addition to aerobic activity, also include a day or two of strength training to balance out your workouts. A well-balanced diet is very important for general health, but may also determine how you feel throughout the day.  A balanced diet is a way of eating in which you consume foods from every food group each day.  In addition, you should eat a wide variety of foods throughout the day. To help prevent fatigue you should make sure that all your meals are balanced as well. For example, big carbohydrate-rich meals (like a pancake breakfast or spaghetti for lunch), can leave you feeling tired and sluggish.  Include a source of lean protein, fruits or vegetables and a high fiber carbohydrate to help balance your energy levels. Sometimes, eating more often can help you balance out your body's blood sugar and energy levels throughout the day. Try eating four to six smaller meals daily.  These little meals can help provide your body with some nutrition and a small boost of energy throughout the day. Many people typically go for the three meals a day approach.  But if you need a snack during the day or have frequent afternoon slumps, try eating more often. In addition to eating multiple smaller meals throughout the day, make sure that your lunch-time meal is also small.  This may help with your afternoon energy levels.  Studies have shown that circadian rhythms are significantly different for those people who ate large meals at lunch.  These changes resulted in a more sluggish, tired feeling in the afternoons.  This is most likely from drops in blood sugar.  To minimize these effects, stick to smaller portions at...

TL;DR in English: Exercise regularly. Eat a balanced diet. Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Eat a small lunch. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Sleep seven to nine hours a night. Manage stress. Talk to your doctor.

It may seem easier to avoid the challenges in life than to face them head-on. But avoiding your problems will only lead to more problems down the road, which may result in your feeling a lack of control. The best way to deal with challenge and struggle in your life is to acknowledge it and face it.  Don't avoid dealing with your problems. Address them as they arise, and recognize that a given problem needs your attention. Think about the times you've faced your problems in the past. You no doubt walked away with a greater sense of purpose and a stronger sense of confidence. Remember this as you approach new and bigger problems, and take comfort in this fact. One of the best ways to feel content with the conditions of your life (no matter how challenging) is to practice accepting your situation as it is. Though you may wish things were easier (like having more money, a more secure job, or even better health), dwelling on what you don't have will not make living in the present any easier.  Remember that without hard times, you would not have as much appreciation for the good times. Accepting your life the way it is right now is the only way you can truly appreciate everything you have. Be grateful for the people in your life, no matter how difficult your life's circumstances may be at the moment. Recognize that everyone has similar struggles in some form or another. No life is without difficulty, but it is through perseverance and mindfulness that life becomes joyous and meaningful. It's not always easy to see the silver lining in unfortunate or challenging situations. But the reality of the situation is that struggle often leads to new insights about yourself, a new perspective on life, and even a renewed sense of purpose.  It will not be easy to see your problems as an opportunity for growth, but with mindfulness and a lot of practice, you'll quickly see that you do actually grow and develop from living through your challenges. Recognize and always remember that life is full of meaning. Just because you are...

TL;DR in English: Confront your struggles. Accept what you have, not what you want. Try to see problems as opportunities.

That is, focus on certain letters, and teach them the sound that coordinates with them. For instance, you can say, "'T' makes a 'tuh' sound. Can you hear it in words like 'tuh-able,' 'tuh-op,' and 'tuh-rycycle?'" Give kids a good foundation by helping them spell the words they commonly use correctly.  Teach your child to spell phonetically. Let them sound out words and write down the spelling as they think it sounds. Start with words that contain letters they already know the sounds for, which will help them make connections. Help them learn the correct spelling by having them re-write a word after they've spelled it out themselves. For instance, some worksheets encourage kids to write what's going on in a picture, while others give them a prompt to write their own story. Group words with similar patterns together, and have your kids learn to write them. One way to help them is to encourage them to use the words in a story. Let your child learn by what you do. As you make sentences, your child will learn to put words together, too.  You can take it one step farther by having your child "play along." That is, if you're writing a note to a friend, let your child write a not  to her friend. Engage your kids in their environment by asking them to describe it on paper. For example, give them an object to describe, such as a cup, and set a time limit. When the time limit is up, give them another object to describe that seems dissimilar, such as a cucumber. Let them describe it within a set limit. As the final part of the exercise, have them write about how the objects are similar, which asks them to make connections and engages them more fully. Give your child exercises that encourage him to write creatively, which makes it more fun. As an example, try putting a number of unusual words on strips of paper, though they should be words that your kid already knows, such as "tissue," "frozen," "flame," "stroke," and "fanning." Let your kid pick a couple of words from the group without looking. Have her write a poem that...

TL;DR in English: Teach sounds in connection with letters. Work on spelling. Use worksheets that encourage your kids to write. Help your kids learn English word patterns. Talk aloud while you're writing. Use description exercises. Try playing with poetry. Make writing a daily practice.

It sounds simple, but making and holding eye contact with a guy can give him just enough encouragement to take an interest in you.  When you're talking to him, make sure that you maintain eye contact. Try not to let your eyes wander, especially in the direction of another guy. You can even use eye contact to drive him crazy when you're standing on opposite sides of the room. Make eye contact with him, and after holding it for a few moments, drop your gaze. Slowly drag your eyes back up to meet his again, keeping a coy or flirty smile on your face as you do. It's the inside that counts, of course, but the outside gets seen first. When you're trying to make a guy crazy early on, wear clothes, makeup, and accessories that highlight your best features.  This does not mean that you should wear especially revealing or tight-fitting clothes. Revealing clothes will catch a guy's interest temporarily, but they probably won't drive him crazy for very long. A dress that shows a little leg or a blouse that hugs your body in all the right places can work wonders, but your appearance should scream “attractive” more than “sexy.” The idea is to make your body and your face look its best. If the clothes are something you objectively look amazing in even when you're not trying to capture a guy's heart, they will probably work for this goal, as well. After you've gotten to know the guy, it's time to drop your guard and pull out the casual clothes. This tells him that he has successfully broken through the barricade and wedged his way into your life.  The clothes you wear should still be clean, of course. A relaxed pair of jeans and a t-shirt make a nice casual look, but a shirt that's three sizes too big with a giant mustard stain on it may not be the best choice. After you've established a habit of dressing down, you should still dress up occasionally to reignite a few of the sparks he initially felt the first time he saw you. Spray a little perfume behind your ears or apply a scented lotion after a shower. When you smell...

TL;DR in English: Make eye contact. Dress yourself up. Dress down. Wear a signature scent. Dance. Play with your hair.

An example could be to: proofread professionally for a large financial printer/publisher.  And, since reliable is a synonym for infallible, then although infallibility/perfection may not be possible -- that is a necessary goal toward which to work. Be relied upon by others such as a court, judge and jury. A jury is called the reasonable man when they attend to, deliberate and decide guilt or innocence, awards and punishments. Avoid the devastating failure of "unreliable" personnel being relied upon which may lead to errors, failures, crashes, possible deaths. The opposite of reliable is deceptive, irresponsible, unreliable, untrustworthy, unsure, uncertain, ie: unqualified. get the best education, training and retraining. Both formal and informal education are important. All successful men self-teach, but formal education is becoming more highly regarded today, and can serve as motivation. This requires diligence and much practise. Prepare an emergency plan, and be expert in that area as well as work and play areas. Planning and procedure manuals, accounting books and software or tools for productivity, computer programs and procedures in the processes of your work must be aligned or designed to fit your area of expertise. Bring yourself and all members of a faculty, surgery team, nurse staff, training corps, secretaries and clerk assistants, sport team coaches and team skills in line. Keep them at as high a level of competency as possible, as they must be (to be reliable).

TL;DR in English: Work "toward" accuracy approaching perfection or reasonableness. Become fully qualified: Learn about, obtain, and use the proper and latest protective or safety gear correctly. Update, review, and maintain records and action plans. Use experts for intervention/arbitration as needed. Learn to be expert in using the best and the right software, instruments, or tools.

Surfers spend a lot of time in the sun, leaving them with that sun-kissed look to their hair.  Even if you don't spend as much time at the beach, you can get this same look in the salon.  Go for an overall lightening, but avoid getting too platinum. Highlights are a great way to make you hair look like it’s been in the sun. It seems amazing that surfers can get out of the ocean and when their hair dries, it looks effortlessly amazing.  The secret here is the salt water.  You can get this effect of crunchy waves by using a sea salt spray on your hair.  Towel dry your hair.  Spray on some sea salt spray, scrunch your hair with your hands, and let it air dry.  There are several sea salt sprays available.  Choose the one which most appeals to you.  Another option is making your own sea salt spray by mixing 1 cup of hot water with 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt (not table salt) and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a spray bottle.  Shake it well for a minute or two and its ready to use. A popular style for surfer girls is mixing up bold colors and prints.  This make sure you stand out in the crowd and represent your own style.  Surfer bikini bottoms tend to have a mid-rise cut to them.  The tops are focused on staying on and usually have a sporty look like a criss-crossed back or racerback, similar to a sports bra.  When mixing and matching, try using different patterns with the same color scheme, or similar patterns in different colors.  Try wearing a solid bikini bottom in a bold color, and matching it with a printed bikini top. There are a lot of surf brands which have clothing lines.  Some of the most popular brands are Billabong, Hurley, Rip Curl, Quiksilver, RVCA, and O’Neill.  Roxy is a popular female clothing line which is an offshoot of Quicksilver.  These brands provide high fashion, and high quality swimwear, which will keep you in fashion and a durable suit.

Choose a cool, dark place for your bulb. Move the bulb to a warm, bright spot when it blossoms. Place your hyacinth in a brighter spot to help it fully bloom.

Create a center or side part, then using hair from each side of the part, create 2 rope braids. Pull the rope braids into a half-up ponytail at about ear level. Gather all of your hair into a low ponytail, and use it to make a fishtail braid.  Make the rope braids sit low on the back of your head, right where it starts to curve into your nape. Tuck a fancy comb or tiny flowers into the joint just above the gathered rope braids. Use a clear hair elastic for securing the rope braids; you don’t want that to be visible. Create a deep side part first. The, starting on the thicker side of the part, begin to French braid down the side of your head, across the back, and toward the other side of your nape. Finish with a regular braid, then secure it with a hair elastic.  Keep the sections large and loose for a gentler look. For more volume, gently pull on the outer loops of the regular braid. Add a hair accessory that matches your jewelry into the end of the braid to make it look more fancy. Create a deep side part. Then, starting from the thicker side of the part, begin a French braid. Continue French braiding down the side of your head, then pull everything into a low ponytail and finish off with a fishtail braid. Keep the sections on the French braid large and loose. You want them to gently sweep across your hairline. Part your hair into 5 sections. Take the first section on the left, and weave it over and under the next 2 sections. Next, take the last section on the right, and weave it over and under the previous sections. Keep going until you reach the end of your hair, then secure it with a hair elastic.  For a more elegant touch, part your hair off to the side. Drape the braid over your shoulder. Secure the middle of each section with a clear elastic, then move the elastics down as you braid. At the end, pull those elastics off. This will help you keep track. Hold strands 1 and 2 in your left hand, and strands 4 and 5 in your right. Leave strand 3 hanging in the middle.

TL;DR in English: Merge a pair of rope braids into a fishtail braid for an intricate look. Do a side part, then create a French braid for something more elegant. Start a French braid, then finish off with a fishtail braid. Try a fancy 5-strand braid if you want lots of volume. Dress up a simple side braid.

A popular look is the combination of the casual hoodie with something a little fancier, like a dress or miniskirt. The contrast creates an edgy vibe that trendsetters lean toward. Try wearing a zip-up fleece hoodie with a long flowing dress with a girly print, such as a floral. To up the contrast even more, add a pair of combat boots. You can also try it with a short, flouncy cocktail dress or lace skirt. Hoodies make great outerwear all by themselves, but they can look more stylish (and keep you even warmer) if you wear one under a nice jacket. Try wearing a black hoodie underneath a black leather jacket. Make sure you pull out the hood, so that it’s visible and hangs down in the back, on top of the jacket.  If black leather isn’t your style, try wearing a gray hoodie under a denim jacket. It’s important that you still pull out the hood so that it’s visible, though. This is another trendy style that uses contrast to make a statement. Opt for a slim-fit hoodie, and pair it with skinny jeans or pants that are structured to have a well-tailored look, such as dress trousers. You can even make a slim-fit black hoodie work at the office if you wear it with a pair of nice dress slacks in a neutral color, like gray. The hoodie gives your overall look an athletic-wear vibe while still creating a sleek silhouette that looks dressy enough to be considered business casual.

TL;DR in English: Pair it with a dress or skirt. Wear a zip-up hoodie under a black leather biker jacket. Wear it with skinny jeans or dress trousers.

Financial experts encourage people to sock away at least six months of expenses in case of emergencies. If your car breaks down or if you lose your job, this money can tide you over. If possible, build up to twelve months of savings. Visit your nearest bank or credit union and open a savings account. You can also open an online savings account.  Start small. You might only have $5 a week to contribute to your emergency fund. However, at the end of the year, you’ll have $260 saved. If possible, increase the amount you save each month by cutting expenses or increasing your income. Remember to start building your fund right away. Don’t wait until you’ve paid off all of your credit card debt. Instead, you’ll need a cash cushion right now. Contribute at least a little each pay period to your emergency fund. Once you get some breathing room, you can begin to think about the future. Everyone can begin saving for their retirement. If your employer sponsors a retirement plan, then sign up. Some employers offer to match your contributions up to a certain amount.  If your employer doesn’t offer a retirement plan, then you can buy your own. Open a traditional IRA and make pre-tax contributions. This will lower your overall tax burden. Also consider opening a Roth IRA. Although you have to pay taxes on your contributions, they will compound tax-free. When you reach age 59.5, you can withdraw without paying taxes on the income. You can also withdraw your contributions penalty-free (and tax-free) if you face a sudden cash crunch. At some point, you might get an unexpected raise or a tax refund. In these situations, you need to avoid blowing all of the money on a trip to Vegas. Instead, do the following:  Splurge no more than 10% on something fun. If you get a $2,000 rebate check, limit your spending to $200.  Use some of the money (30-40%) to increase your emergency fund if you don’t yet have 12 months of expenses saved. Also funnel about 50% of the money to pay off debts. If your debts have all been paid off, then invest...

TL;DR in English: Build an emergency fund. Start saving for retirement. Handle sudden windfalls wisely.

Place the hyacinth bulb and vase in a cool and dark area (40-55º F), such as your garage or refrigerator. Keep cool for roughly 4 weeks, or until the hyacinth's root system has developed in the water of the jar and growth from the top of the bulb has begun.  As previously mentioned, do not store your hyacinths in a refrigerator with fruits. The gas from fruits will damage your hyacinth's growth.  Change the container's water twice per week. Keeping fresh water in your vase will help your hyacinth to bloom fully and beautifully. Your hyacinth needs to be transferred to a warmer, somewhat brighter place (50-60º F) once it is ready. You'll know the hyacinth is ready to be moved once the foliage has grown to be about 2 inches tall and the root system has extended to the bottom of the vase. Keep the bulbs in this location for about a week, or until its shoots have turned green. Move the hyacinth plant to a warmer location (roughly 65º F) so that it will fully bloom. Hyacinths reach toward sunlight, so turn your vase daily to prevent the plant from leaning in one direction. After 2 weeks or so, your hyacinths will be fully fragrant and bloomed, and should last for another 2 weeks before they begin to wilt.  Although you want to move the hyacinth to a brighter location, avoid direct sunlight. To make your bloom last longer, place your hyacinth plant in the refrigerator at night. Enjoy the fragrance of the plant. Once the hyacinth flowers have bloomed, their scent will be beautiful. Throw out the bulbs once the hyacinth has died. Water forcing uses all of the energy that bulbs have to offer, and the bulbs will be too weak to re-bloom. You'll have to get more bulbs to grow more hyacinths.

Establish that you have common ground with the person that you invite over. Ask your parents or guardian before you invite your friend over. Find an opportune moment to ask your friend to hang out.

Concept papers are meant to persuade sponsors, convincing them to fund or adopt your idea. This means it’s critical to “hook” them right at the beginning.  For instance, you could start off your paper with an attention-grabbing statistic related to your project: “Every year, 10.5 million pounds of food go to waste due to one common pest: rats.” Giving your concept paper a descriptive title, like “Lock the Rat Box: Humane, Hands-Free Rodent Control,” is another good way to grab their attention. After getting your reader’s attention, the introduction to your concept paper should then describe how your goals and the sponsor’s mission mesh. This tells the sponsor that you’ve done your homework and are serious about approaching them. Try something like: “The Savco Foundation has long been committed to funding projects that foster healthy communities. We have developed Lock the Rat Box as an easy, cost-effective means to lower illness rates and sanitation costs in municipalities, and are seeking your support for the project.” The next section of a concept paper will devote a few sentences or short paragraphs to the specific purpose of your project. Describe the problem you want to solve, and illustrate how you know it exists. Show how your project relates to current issues, questions, or problems. Statistics and other numerical data can help build a convincing case for why your problem matters. Some readers might also be moved by narratives or personal stories, so consider including those as well.  For instance, your concept paper could include a statement like: “Rats are a nuisance, but also a serious vector of diseases such as rabies and the bubonic plague. Municipalities across the United States spend upwards of twenty million dollars a year combating these issues.” Include references to verify any data you cite.

TL;DR in English: Grab your reader’s attention. Explain why you are approaching this sponsor. Describe the problem your project addresses. Put the problem in context to explain why it matters.

For the shortcake, you’ll need 4 ripe peaches that have been peeled. To make it easier, use a knife to make a small “x” at the bottom of each, and place them in a large pot of boiling water. Allow them to boil for 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to take the peaches out of the pot, so you don’t take any boiling water with them. When you remove the peaches from the boiling water, place them immediately in a bowl of ice water. That will stop the peaches from cooking any further, but the skins will be loosened enough that you can remove them with your fingers. It’s easiest to start peeling the skin from the bottom of the peaches where you made the “x.” Once the skins are removed, cut the peaches in half and remove the pit. Next, slice the peaches lengthwise to create ½-inch (1.27 cm) thick slices and place them in a medium bowl. Add 2 teaspoons (10 g) of granulated sugar to the peaches, and mix well. Set the bowl aside. If you want your peaches to have a deeper flavor, replace the granulated sugar with light brown sugar. In a separate bowl, stir 3 tablespoons (42 g) unsalted butter that’s been melted and 3 tablespoons (45 ml) dark rum together. Mix until well blended, and then set aside. If you aren’t a fan of rum, you can replace it with 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of amaretto or peach schnapps. Chill a bowl in the refrigerator for an hour or so, and then pour 1 ½ cups (355 ml) cold heavy cream into it. Whip the cream on medium speed with the whisk attachment on a stand mixer or hand mixer until the liquid starts to thicken. You can whip the cream by hand with a whisk, but the process will take longer. When the cream has thickened slightly, add 5 tablespoons (106 g) of honey to it. Use a spatula to gently fold the honey into the cream. You may need to push down the cream from the sides of the bowl to incorporate the honey completely. Choose a honey that has a delicate flavor so it won’t overpower the flavor of the peaches. Clover or orange blossom honey is a good option. Turn the stand mixer or hand mixer back on, and...

TL;DR in English: Boil the peaches for easy peeling. Drop the peaches into ice water and remove the skins. Slice the peaches and mix with sugar. Combine the melted butter and rum. Whip the heavy cream in a chilled bowl until it thickens slightly. Fold in the honey. Whip the cream until soft peaks form.

You may think that smiling just makes you look dopey or desperate, but this is far from the truth. Everyone loves a person who smiles at them, and smiling can make you feel better about yourself and it can make other people feel better about themselves as well. Make a habit of smiling at people when you pass them in the halls, at the bus stop, or even in class if you lock eyes. Smiling at people can help them put their guard down, and it will make you look more approachable so more people will want to talk to you.  You don't have to be maniacal about it. Don't seek out people to smile at, but do smile when you look at each other. Smiling a lot will also give you a reputation for being friendly, and people will be more likely to come to you with questions or to ask you to play. If you slip and get your clothes dirty at school or do something that is embarrassing, just say "oops", and laugh about it and have fun with your friends instead of making a big deal about it. If you accidentally make an embarrassing comment in class or tell a joke that makes no sense, it will only seem like a big deal if you make it that way. If you're able to laugh, brush things off, and show that you don't take yourself too seriously, people will respect you more and will be more excited about hanging out with you. Nobody wants to hang out with a person who is so serious that they are constantly afraid of offending them. If you can laugh at yourself, people will be much more excited to be in your orbit because they won't feel like they have to watch what they say. Don't just be nice to the "cool" kids and ignore the rest. Make a habit of being nice and friendly to everybody, unless that person gives you a reason not to be. Don't listen to what other people say and decide for yourself whether each person is really nice deep down instead of assuming that person is "weird" because of what someone says. You should appreciate every person for who he is, smile, ask how his or her day was, and know that you have something to learn from...

TL;DR in English: Smile at people. Be able to laugh at yourself. Be friendly to everybody. Keep things positive. Don't be fake. Be open to meeting new people. Take an interest in other people.

Many problems regarding fractions involve determining if two fractions are equivalent. By calculating this number, you can begin putting the fractions in the same terms to determine equivalency.  For example, take the fractions 4/8 and 8/16 again. The smaller denominator is 8, and we would have to multiply that number x2 in order to make the larger denominator, which is 16. Therefore, the number in this case is 2. For more difficult numbers, you can simply divide the larger denominator by the smaller denominator. In this case 16 divided by 8, which still gets us 2. The number may not always be a whole number. For example, if the denominators were 2 and 7, then the number would be 3.5. Two fractions that are different but equivalent have, by definition, numerators and denominators that are multiples of each other. In other words, multiplying the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number will produce an equivalent fraction. Though the numbers in this new fraction will be different, the fractions will have the same value. For instance, if we take the fraction 4/8 from step one and multiply both the numerator and denominator by our previously determined number 2, we get (4×2)/(8×2) = 8/16. Thus proving that these two fractions are equivalent.

TL;DR in English: Find the number by which the smaller denominator needs to be multiplied to make the larger denominator. Multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction expressed in lower terms by the number from the first step.

Choose someone that you have some inside jokes with, or someone who likes the same books or bands that you do or you are close with as a friend and would enjoy them being there. Choose someone who you feel good being with.  When you have decided to ask someone over to your house, don't think ahead.  Thinking ahead can make you nervous about potential outcomes that aren't even a possibility yet.  Just remember that even if you are rejected, it's really not as big a deal as it feels at the time. This will prevent any awkward last-minute cancellations. It can also be beneficial to avoid times that siblings might be around. In order to make more concrete plans, wait until you are both talking enthusiastically about something you both want to do, whether it's to watch a new episode of a T.V. show, or try a new recipe. Make plans as soon as you both agree on an activity that you want to take part in.  For example, "There's a new episode of that TV show out on Wednesday.  Do you want to hang out at my place and watch it then?” Or, “I have all the ingredients for that recipe.  Do you want to make it tomorrow after school?”

TL;DR in English:


Row a boat through the lily pads. Rake away the lily pads. Fill the pond with fish. Use a spade. Try an aquatic mower.

You'll want to reach out to prospective clients in any way possible to build a beginning roster of customers for your cleaning service. Even just a few regular customers can help you make ends meet while you market yourself to an ever-broader target audience.  Advertise in local newspapers and magazines. Offer deals to first time customers. Set up an account on Facebook and Twitter where you can advertise your company. Make sure you have a professional-looking website that lists your services and contact information.

There are several exercises that provide a good mix of stretching and working out your neck and lower facial muscles. Repeat them once or twice a day and this may strengthen your neck so that it appears firmer.  Place one hand on your forehead. Push your head against it  without letting it go forwards. You should feel your neck muscles  working. Hold this position for about 10 seconds. Then clasp your hands behind  your head, and push backwards to create pressure, and again hold for  about ten seconds. Sit down with your back straight. Lift your head back so that your chin is pointing toward the ceiling with your lips closed. Next make a chewing motion with your mouth. You'll feel your neck and facial muscles being worked. Repeat about 20 times.  Again, sit with a straight back and lift your head so that your chin points to the ceiling with your lips together. This time, pout your lips in a sort of kissing motion. Repeat this exercise twice. This may feel similar to the first exercise, but actually works different parts of your neck and face.  Be careful with this one because it could strain your neck. Lie on the bed with your head hanging over the edge. Slowly and carefully lift your head up towards your torso, using your neck. Slowly and carefully lower it back down. Repeat this about 5 times. Stop immediately if you feel any pain. Certain facial movements and expressions, such as tilting your head in disagreement, can weaken adjacent muscles. Observe any repeated facial gestures you may make to help keep your neck skin firm longer. Whenever you use facial or neck muscles, it causes a groove to form under your skin. As your skin loses elasticity over time, it can no longer fill this grove and may cause a permanent wrinkle or flap on your neck. There is some evidence that a nutritionally well-balanced diet may protect your skin. Avoiding unhealthy and junk foods may help keep wrinkles and loss of elasticity at bay.  Diets high in fat and sugar may slow cell turnover. Try not to eat too many fried foods or...

TL;DR in English: Exercise your facial and neck muscles. Avoid repeated facial expressions. Eat a healthy diet. Stay hydrated. Apply moisturizer daily. Limit exposure to the sun. Quit smoking Avoid sudden weight gain or loss

Studies suggest that having goals (and people who support those goals) may help you be less likely to use drugs. This is likely because it encourages you to consider what you want out of your future and what you'll do to get yourself there. In contrast, using drugs is all about what feels "good" right now, regardless of the impact it makes on your future.  If you feel tempted to try drugs, even once, consider what it may do to your goals for the future. How likely are you to be able to achieve your goals if you're dependent on an expensive and/or illegal drug, or in jail or with a criminal record for using it? Setting goals can also help improve your self-confidence. When you feel confident in yourself and your ability to achieve what you set out to do, you're less likely to want to do drugs.  Setting and achieving goals is also crucial to getting off of drugs. This practice shows you that you can achieve what you set out to do, including kick your drug use. Strong relationships with your family and loved ones are a protective factor against drug use. In other words, having a strong relationship with your family and friends will make you less likely to give in to temptation. If you're feeling pressured or curious about drug use, don't keep it to yourself. Find someone you know, trust, and respect to talk to about it. Other people can offer you advice and support, which is very important for staying drug free. If you're consistently being pressured, even bullied, to try drugs, talk to someone in authority, such as a parent, teacher, or counselor. You don't have to face this pressure on your own. Getting support from others will help you stand strong against drugs. If you are tempted to use drugs because you want to feel good, keep your focus off of drugs by doing other things that are enjoyable and fun.   For example, take up a hobby, spend more time laughing with friends, play a fun video game, or help others out, to feel better instead. This will help you find new meaning in your life.. Go for a run, get...

TL;DR in English: Set goals for yourself. Spend time with your loved ones. Talk to someone about what's going on. Do something else to feel good. Stop before you start. Keep your distance. Avoid temptation. Reflect on your temptations. Say no assertively. Stay engaged. Figure out what makes you happy.

This is a great method for pealing an entire head of garlic at once. Remove whatever loose papery skin you can by hand before beginning. Place the bowls together, open side to open side, to form a larger 'sealed' bowl.

TL;DR in English: Place the entire garlic head inside one stainless steel bowl. Cover the bowl with another identical stainless steel bowl.

Although you might feel cold when you have a fever, your body temperature is actually too high, and you will need to lower it in order to feel warmer. Allow your body to release excess heat by wearing only a thin layer of  clothing and covering up with a thin blanket or sheet if necessary. Piling on sweatshirts and blankets can actually be dangerous if you have a fever because it can raise your body temperature even more. Keeping the room temperature excessively high may prevent your body from releasing its excess heat, but your room should also not be too cold. Shivering is your body's way of naturally increasing its internal temperature, so if your room is so cold that you are shivering, you will only be making your fever worse. If your room is hot and stuffy, open a window or turn on a fan. Dampening your skin is a great way to lower your body temperature, but you should make sure that you are careful not to make yourself too cold. Apply a damp towel to your forehead and extremities or sponge yourself down with some warm water. The water should always be lukewarm to prevent your body from shivering in response.  Sponge baths are ideal for children who have a fever. You may have read that applying rubbing alcohol to the skin can help reduce a fever, but the alcohol can be absorbed into the skin, leading to alcohol poisoning, so stick with water! If your fever is making you uncomfortable, you can take over-the-counter fever reducers, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen. Make sure to follow dosing instructions carefully.  Acetaminophen can help reduce fever as well as the aches and other side effects in the body. If you have any liver problems, do not take acetaminophen without talking to your doctor first. Aspirin can also be used to reduce fevers in adults, but it should never be given to children, as it has been linked to a serious disease called Reye's syndrome.  Keep in mind that these medications might make you feel better, but they will not treat the underlying cause of your fever. If you...

TL;DR in English: Undress a bit. Set the temperature to a comfortable level. Cool yourself down with water. Take over-the-counter medications. Get plenty of rest.

If the body of water in question is a lake or a large pond, and you want to remove the lily pads to provide a path for boats, simply rowing the boat through the lily pads is often enough to open a path and keep it opened. It is best to do this with a rowboat, rather than a motorized boat, since the pads could potentially get caught in the blades of a motor. If the pond is relatively undisturbed and the roots of the pads are not too tangled, surface raking is a viable solution to remove lily pads. Row a boat into the middle of the pond, or wade to the center of the pond if the water is shallow enough. Use a standard garden rake to pull the pads off the surface of the water. Some hardier varieties may have resistant roots that make surface raking difficult, and you may not be able to remove the pads at the root. This works well as a short-term solution, but the lily pads will often re-grow afterward. If the pads are growing in your own private pond, adding several grass carp (note grass carp is a non-native species and may be invasive) or other fish that dine on water lilies can naturally reduce the amount of pads that form on the surface. Typically, adding two fish per acre of water is an effective amount. The fish should be young, since young fish eat more than older fish. This method works best with shallow ponds that you can wade into, and is difficult to accomplish with deeper ponds and lakes. While standing in the water, drive the metal edge of the spade beneath the root of the lily pad. Loosen the root from its place and then lift the freed pad off the surface of the water. This solution can take a long time to accomplish, and it may be difficult to use it if you have a large pond and are working by yourself. It proves effective, though, and literally removes the lily pads at the root of the problem. An aquatic mower is a specially designed tool that works like a weed cutter, except that it trims away weeds and vegetation that grows on the surface of a body of water. It is usually used against algae and...

TL;DR in English:


Open with your pawn to e6. Put the pawn from d7 onto d5 to hold a center square. Move a pawn to c5 to put pressure on the white pieces. Develop your knight to c6. Move your queen to b6 to give yourself offensive options.

Take all of the new valve assemblies and open them fully before installing them. Do this by turning the stems counterclockwise. Each valve needs to be opened when it's installed to allow it to seat fully on the pipe components. Be sure to identify the diverter valve and set it aside to install it last. The process of installing a new faucet will be essential the reverse process of your disassembly. If you purchased an identical or similar kit to the version you removed, it should be quite easy. Take the roll of plumber’s tape and peel the end back a couple of inches. With the new valve in one hand, hold the threaded base pointing to your other hand. Place the loose end of the plumber’s tape over the threads and secure it with your thumb, then wrap tightly around the threads clockwise for three complete wraps. Pull tightly against the threads until the tape breaks. Roll the loose end over the taped threads. Done correctly, the tape will contour to the threads. Repeat this process for all the new valve components. Taping the valves allows a tighter seal to be creating, ensuring a solid faucet that won't leak. Place the new valve into the pipe and turn clockwise with your fingers about three or four complete turns. There should be some resistance after that because of the plumber’s tape.  If the valve does not seat in the threaded pipe within the first turn or two, start again. Do not force an improperly seated valve. It will strip the threads and cause a serious leak. Repeat this step for all valves. Completely tighten the valves with adjustable pliers or an adjustable wrench. Do not over-tighten or you risk damaging the valve or the water pipes Take the threaded white nylon sleeve, slip it over each valve stem, and twist it into threaded interior of the valve base. Do not use pliers or a pipe wrench, as this will damage the threads. Wrap a cloth rag around the sleeve and grip tightly with your hand and twist it into place. Take the chrome flange and twist it onto the nylon sleeve until the base of the flange...

TL;DR in English: Open and check the valve assemblies before installation. Tape the new valves. Install the new valve. Install the sleeve. Install the flange. Install the retaining screw cover on each handle. Use bathtub caulk to seal any gaps where hardware meets the shower wall. Turn water supply back on and check for leaks.

Be sure to save each picture that you find to your computer. Try to find a variety of cats that vary in size, color, hair type, etc. Also, make sure that you get some pictures that are close-up shots as well as photos that show cats engaging in their everyday routine such as walking, eating, lying down, and interacting with people. You don't have to limit your picture search to the internet. You can also find similar pictures in magazines and pamphlets. Look at the picture and determine where you are on the anxiety scale. You do this by deciding how much anxiety you experience on a scale of 1-10. One represents virtually no anxiety while 10 reflects extreme anxiety. As you do this, try to keep yourself calm. Also, do your best to refrain from looking away. If you do find yourself looking away, be sure to refocus on the picture as soon as you notice. Continue this each day until you experience very little anxiety when you look at the picture.  Determine in advance how long you will look at the picture each day. 10-15 minutes seems to be a reasonable amount of time to participate in this daily activity. If you find yourself getting anxious, try deep breathing to regain your composure.  Sit in a chair that can support your back. Breathe in so that the air moves from your belly to your chest. Count to four as you slowly breathe in. Then breathe out so that you feel the air moving back down from your chest and out of your body. Count to seven as you release the air. Repeat as needed. Try using this relaxation technique as you look at the picture of the cat. After a few days of doing this, the anxiety that you experience should lessen.  Be sure to always note where you are on the anxiety scale. Remember, your goal should be to get to a one or two on the scale. Use these pictures to create a collage by gluing them all onto a poster board. When you are no longer experiencing anxiety from looking at the picture of a single cat, now it’s time to move on to looking at multiple cat pictures. Taking this approach allows...

TL;DR in English: Search the internet for images of cats. Select one of the pictures and print it out, preferably in color. Look at the picture for several minutes each day. Print out the remaining cat pictures that you have saved on your computer. Watch videos of cats.

Occasionally, an essay addresses a topic that a paper's readership might often misunderstand or have inaccurate beliefs about. If this is the case, you can directly call out this mistaken belief in the first line of your introduction paragraph. When you state this mistaken belief, make sure to clarify that this belief is inaccurate. As soon as you state what the wrong belief is, you need to follow your statement with a sentence about the corrected version or truth of the situation. This sentence should introduce the general topic of the paper and open the path for your thesis statement. Provide supporting evidence or facts about your correction to further cement the truth of it in the reader's mind. These pieces of supporting evidence usually correspond to the main ideas you will cover in the body paragraphs of your essay. With the general topic introduced and supporting evidence provided, you can now make a definitive thesis statement about what you will cover in your essay.  A thesis statement is a single sentence that defines a specific point or idea about a broader topic that your entire paper is built around. In some ways, your thesis statement will be like a direct foil or mirror image of the misconception you are addressing. The two will be directly connected yet directly opposite one another.

TL;DR in English: Mention something that people mistakenly believe. State your correction. Elaborate slightly on the truth. Wrap things up with a relevant thesis statement.

It is customary to provide dinner guests a bowl of fragranced water for washing hands and/or an oshibori, a moist hand towel. Some Japanese restaurants will not have napkins. Most Japanese people carry around a handkerchief and use it as a napkin for meals. Similar to western conventions, it is considered rude to eat or drink before everyone at the table has received their portion. While many westerners will not notice or pay much mind to someone eating early, it will be perceived more negatively in Japan.  When receiving food, it is polite to say “itadakimasu,” which means “I gratefully receive.”  When drinking from a communal pitcher, it is polite to offer to pour a drink for others before pouring your own. With more formal meals, the presentation and layout of food is important. Do not reorganize the food, utensils or plates in an improper fashion.  When you aren’t using your chopsticks, place them on a holder, known as a hashioki, if it is available. Always keep the rice bowl to the left of your plate and the soup bowl to the right. It is considered wasteful to put food on your plate and then not finish it. Take small portions at a time so you know won’t have too much to eat.. Spilling food on yourself or on the table is considered a severe form of bad table manners. It is customary to hold the plate or bowl underneath your chin as you take each bite.

TL;DR in English: Clean your hands. Wait until everyone has their food before eating. Respect the layout. Don’t waste food.

Examine your raw skin and the affected area around it for a red, inflamed, or itchy rash. These marks scattered across your skin can indicate a bacterial or yeast infection. If you suspect a bacterial or yeast infection, see your doctor, who can diagnose the problem.  They may suggest better hygiene to clear up the area and prevent future outbreaks. For more severe cases, the doctor will prescribe a prescription medication to soothe and heal the area. If you are taking antibiotics, this may cause a yeast infection that leads to raw skin. Notice if the areas of your skin that are raw are on your thighs, groin, underarms or nipples. These may be the result of friction from wearing tight clothing, shoes, or skin rubbing on skin. Soothe these areas with a thin layer of protective salve. This can also prevent future raw skin from friction. Review any products that touch your skin including your skincare, detergents, or topical medications.  Gradually remove individual products from your routine until you figure out which one is causing the raw skin. Discontinue use of the product to see if your skin heals or calms down. See if your raw skin is on an area exposed to or touched by potential allergens such as plants, detergents, food, or animals. This can indicate an allergic reaction that may heal by discontinuing use or avoiding the allergen. Taking an oral over-the-counter antihistamine may relieve pain and inflammation and promote healing. An allergic rash can happen in conjunction with raw skin caused by irritants. Intertrigo is a rash that forms between folds of skin. Examine your raw skin for mirroring on either side, and notice if the skin also appears moist, thin, or like it has lost several layers, all of which can indicate intertrigo. Keep the area dry by exposing it to air or dabbing a towel on it to promote healing.  Intertrigo rashes can present on parts of the body exposed to heat or moisture.  You should stay cool and avoid sun exposure to prevent further irritation. Check your raw skin for scales or...

TL;DR in English: Look for a red rash to identify a yeast or bacterial infection. Watch for friction flare-ups in areas that rub fabric. Rule out products gradually to identify irritants. Check exposure to allergens. Keep the raw area dry if you have intertrigo. Examine skin for seborrheic scales. Reduce your stress.

When the white opens to e4, move the pawn that’s in front of your king 1 space forward to e6. That way, your bishop is free to get out of the back row later on in the game and you’re defending the d5 center square so your opponent won’t put pieces on it. Your opponent will try to control more of the center by moving their queen’s pawn to d4. Move the pawn that’s in front of your queen 2 spaces forward so it’s in front of your opponent’s pawn. You now have control over a center square and have the opportunity to capture the pawn on e4 if you want.  Your opponent will want to protect their pawn, so they will move it forward to e5. The pawn on e6 will defend the pawn you just moved so other pieces are less likely to attack it. Take the pawn that’s on c7 and thrust it forward 2 spaces so it lands on c5. Now you have put your opponent’s pawn on d4 at risk and have a large defensive wall on the queen’s side of the board so it’s harder for the white pieces to attack. Your opponent will typically develop their king’s knight to f3 to defend the pawn you put at risk. Take the knight you have at b8 and move it to c6 so it’s behind your pawns. From this position, you can capture either of your opponent’s pawns at the center of the board. While you only have your pawn in the middle squares, your knight puts pressure on the other squares there. As an additional level of protection, your opponent will move their pawn at c2 to c3 to defend the center squares. There are many moves you can make after you move your knight, but one of the strongest you can make is moving your queen to b6. Your queen then puts pressure on the pawn at b2 and acts as another layer of protection for your pawn at c5. Don’t capture the pawn at b2 during your next turn since your opponent could easily remove your queen with their bishop.

TL;DR in English:
