Be prepared to trim again. Maintain short leg hair for convenience. Develop a routine for cleanup.

Do 5 chain stitches, then make a slip stitch into the first chain to close the ring. Use a size H/8 or 5.0mm crochet hook and medium worsted weight yarn for this. Start with 2 chain stitches. This will count as your first double crochet stitch. Next, do 11 more double crochets, pulling each one through the center of the circle. Close the round off with a slip stitch into the top of your first stitch (the double chain stitch). This completes round 1.  Do not turn your project. Mark the beginning and end of your round with a stitch marker. If you can't find one, you can use a piece of yarn in a contrasting color or a safety pin. Start 2 chain stitches. Next, do 2 double crochets in each stitch for the rest of the round. Close with a slip stitch into the top of your first stitch. This completes round 2. Start with 2 chain stitches and 1 double crochet in the first stitch. Do 2 double crochet stitches in the second stitch. Next, do 1 double crochet stitch for the next 2 stitches. Repeat the last 4 stitches (2 double crochet in the same stitch, 1 double crochet for the next 2 stitches) until you reach the end of the round. Close the round with a slip stitch. This completes your third round. Start each round with 2 chain stitches; this will count as your first "double crochet." Do 1 double crochet in the first stitch, and 2 double crochets in the second stitch. Next, do x-number of double crochets over x-number of stitches. Repeat the last few stitches (2 double crochets in 1 stitch, x-number of double crochets), until you reach the end of the round. Close each round with a slip stitch. The number "x" will increase with each round. For example:  Round 4: After 2 chain stitches and 1 double crochet, repeat 2 double crochets in the same stitch, then 1 double crochet over the next 3 stitches. Round 5: After 2 chain stitches and 1 double crochet, repeat 2 double crochets in the same stitch, then 1 double crochet over the next 4 stitches. Round 6: After 2 chain stitches and 1 double crochet, repeat 2 double crochets in...

TL;DR in English: Begin with a chain circle. Make 11 double crochet stitches into the middle of your circle. Do a round of 2 double crochets. Start doing your first increasing round. Continue doing your increases for rounds 4 through 8. Work the body of your hat. Start doing the band of your hat with single crochets. Work on your decreasing round. Finish the round off with a single crochet into each stitch. Tie the end off, then use a yarn needle to weave the tail end into the brim of your hat.

This allows the motor to plunge downward to the depth you desire for making the cut. Push downward and move the router from right to left while holding down on the base. Let up when you have reached the end of your cut. The motor should move upward retracting the bit. These tables can be used with medium and larger sized plunge and fixed-base routers. They vary in size from stand-alone to bench-top. The router is mounted upside down on a special plate that fits into a hole cut into a table top. Otherwise, it operates the same. The advantage is that it makes more accurate cuts and expands the use of a router.

TL;DR in English: Set the depth of a plunge base router by setting the depth stop on the router base. Switch on the router. Use a router table.

Test the temperature of the turkey using a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast. Once it's reached 165 °F (74 °C), it's safe to eat. Insert a sturdy wooden spoon into the turkey cavity. Hold several paper towels in your other hand and press the paper towels against the end of the turkey while you lift up with the handle of the spoon. Carefully lift the whole turkey out of the crock pot and set it on your carving board. Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes.  Allowing the turkey to rest will help the juices redistribute within the turkey breast. This will keep it from drying out. You could also use 2 large meat forks to hold and lift the turkey breast out of the crock pot. Set a large measuring jug or cup into your sink. Place a mesh strainer over the measuring jug. Put on oven mitts and hold the crock pot. Pour the liquid from the bottom of the crock pot through the strainer and into the measuring jug. Remove the mesh strainer and discard the vegetables. You should have about 2 cups (470 mL) of liquid that you'll use for the gravy. If you don't have enough liquid, add chicken broth or water to get 2 cups (470 mL). Melt 4 tablespoons (57 g) of butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 1/4 cup (31 g) of flour and cook it for 1 minute. Slowly pour in 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of your turkey liquid and whisk constantly to prevent lumps. Keep adding more of the liquid as you whisk. The gravy should thicken as it cooks. Taste the gravy and season it with salt and pepper to taste.  If you like a thick gravy, cook it longer or use less of the turkey liquid. For a gravy that's easy to pour, you'll probably want to use all 2 cups (470 mL) of turkey liquid. If you have lumps in the gravy, you can use an immersion blender to quickly blend the gravy until it's smooth. Turn the broiler on to high and ensure that your rack is low enough to allow the turkey to fit in the oven. If you can, try to place the turkey about 12 inches (30 cm) below the broiler. Set the cooked turkey on a sturdy...

TL;DR in English: Let the turkey rest. Strain the liquid from the crock pot. Make gravy while the turkey rests. Crisp the skin under the broiler. Serve the turkey breast with the gravy.

Even aloe vera can cause irritation when applied to open sores. Do not apply essential oils if they are causing a rash, burning, or irritation. You may be allergic, or you may be applying too potent a concentration of oil. Dilute lemon balm and peppermint oil before applying them to your skin. Do not treat cold sores in children with peppermint oil. Aloe gel may be used on the skin, but should not be taken orally. Lemon balm may be used topically on children. Speak to your child's doctor about appropriate dosages. Peppermint oil is likely safe for pregnant people, and may relieve nausea if drunk as a tea. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not take lemon balm. Aloe may be used on the skin, but should not be taken orally.

TL;DR in English: Do not apply essential oils to open sores. Use caution when applying essential oils to children. Use caution when using essential oils while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Your leg hair will certainly grow back, and it will do so at roughly a rate of .25-.29mm per day for 30-45 days, but this varies by person.  It’s safe to assume that in a little over a month your leg hair will be roughly as long as it was before you trimmed it. At this time, if not earlier, you’ll want to trim your leg hair again. If you trim your hair to 1/8 of an inch and trim it every week or two, you’ll not only maintain a well-groomed look, you'll also make much less of a mess. In other words, less hair = less mess. The more often you trim your leg hair, the less hair you’ll be cutting off, so the less hair you’ll have to clean up from the floor and the trimmer. Shorter hair is also easier on the trimmer. If you trim your hair more often, this will increase the longevity of the trimmer because it will be less likely to get stuck and won’t have to work as hard to cut through your hair. It’s good to have a whole routine worked out, that way the entire process—brushing, trimming, and cleanup—will be quick and easy. Probably the most annoying part of trimming your leg hair will be the cleanup, so make sure you have a systematic way of cleaning up your space, yourself, and the trimmer when you’re done trimming.  Use a brush or towel to brush loose hairs off of your body after trimming. A shower afterwards is also a good idea. Clean the guard(s) by rinsing them off or by blowing on them. Sweep the area to make sure there’s no hair remaining on the floor.

The leaves of collard greens should be a very dark green. However, the leaves will have light colored veins and stems. The leaves of collard greens can have almost a waxy finish, which is a natural way they deter insects. Good collard greens are firm and crisp. Firmness will show you that the collard greens are relatively fresh and that they have been stored properly in the store, as well as while being transported from the field to the store. Pick up the greens and bend them a little bit. They should be firm and not floppy. Discoloration is a sign that the collard greens are past their prime. Even though you may be stewing the greens, buying collard greens that are discolored will result in a sub-par finished product. In a bunch of collard greens there may be one or two leaves that were slightly damaged and thus are a bit discolored. It's also not uncommon to have a few holes in collard greens due to hungry bugs. If the majority of the leaves look good, however, then the collards are probably just fine to purchase.

TL;DR in English: Look for dark green colored leaves. Assess the firmness. Avoid signs of browning or yellowness.

Your birthing professional may encourage you to massage your abdomen in the hours and days after birth. If, however, they do not directly tell you that you should self-massage, consult them before starting to do so.  There may be a reason your birthing professional would not encourage self-massage. It is always important to consult with them first, or you could risk unnecessary pain and damage to your uterus. Once you're flat on your back, place your flat palms on your abdomen at about where your belly button is located. If your uterus is hard, meaning that you feel resistance when you press down, you should not need to massage the area. If the area is soft and you feel little resistance, a massage may be recommended. Take one hand and cup it slightly. Slowly move it in a circular motion over your lower abdomen. Do this until you feel your uterus contract.  The uterus should feel firm when it contracts. It may be a little uncomfortable, but it will not last too long. Your birthing professional will work with you to determine how many times a day you should massage your abdomen, and for how long. Follow their recommendations, and let them know if you experience any extreme pain or heavy bleeding during the massage.

TL;DR in English: Get your doctor's approval. Lie down flat and press at your belly button. Cup one hand. Repeat the massage process as instructed.

To recognize codependency, you have to know what it looks like. Taking time to educate yourself will not only help you see if your family member fits the description, it will also help you understand their mental state. Only a mental health professional can diagnose codependency, but some telltale symptoms include:  Low self-esteem Constant people-pleasing Little to no boundaries Caretaking as a means of control Painful emotions Codependency is a mental health condition. Like many other mental health problems, it's not something you can cure or eliminate for your family member. They may not even recognize it as a problem, and instead, think that they are getting along just fine with you and your other family members.  Don't expect your family member to see their behavior as codependent if they haven't already come to that conclusion on their own. Trying to force your family member to see your perspective may only make matters worse. Treatment in the form of psychotherapy is available. However, your family member likely won't seek it until they come to their own conclusion that there are no other options. You should not feel like you need to withstand emotional manipulation in any sense. However, it is also important to understand that a codependent person may not know they are manipulating you. In their mind, they are often being supportive and doing the best possible thing for you. Understanding whether a person is or is not intentionally trying to manipulate you can help you figure out how you want to interact with your family member. Do not use this to try and justify their actions in your own mind. Simply remember that a codependent person is not operating in the same frame of mind as you. Their actions are being guided by a mental health problem. In some cases, codependency can be an overcompensating reaction to another person’s behavior. Think honestly about whether you are engaged in any activities or behaviors that may be feeding a family member’s codependency.  For example, codependence is often seen...

TL;DR in English: Read up on codependent behavior. Understand that you cannot cure your family member of codependency. Look at where the codependent person is coming from. Consider whether you are influencing the codependent behavior. Detach from your family member. Establish personal boundaries.

Athletic sliders are also known as compression shorts. They're flexible, mid-thigh length shorts that go underneath your softball pants. Wear sliders whether you're going to practice or a game. If you'll be wearing an athletic cup, look for a pair of sliders with a cup supporter. Softball socks are high socks that should be worn during practices and games. The top of your socks should come up to your upper shins when you pull them on. It's important that you wear your socks pulled all the way up to protect the bottom of your legs from getting scratches or burns. If you want to wear colored socks, choose a color that matches one of the colors in your uniform. Softball pants are stretchy pants that go to just below your knees. You're required to wear them to games, but you might not need to wear them to practices. Ask your coach if you're allowed to wear shorts instead of softball pants to practices. To properly wear softball pants, pull them up so the waistband is resting on your waist. The bottom of the pants should go over the top of your softball socks.  Look for softball pants made of a reinforced fabric so they don't tear.  Moisture-resistant softball pants will disperse sweat while you're playing. If you're only going to practice, an athletic t-shirt or tank top should be OK. When wearing your jersey, tuck the bottom of it into the waistband of your pants. You want it to be loose enough that you're comfortable, but not so loose that it will come untucked when you're playing. You should wear your cleats to practices and games so you get used to playing in them. Look for cleats made out of a breathable fabric so your feet don't get too hot. Tie the laces on your cleats tightly and tuck the loose ends into the sides of your shoes so you don't accidentally trip over them. if you have long hair. Putting your hair up before practices and games will keep it out of your eyes when you're playing. You can also wear a headband or ribbon to keep flyaway hairs out of your line of vision.

TL;DR in English: Wear sliders to protect your thighs from burns. Put on softball socks and pull them all the way up. Put on softball pants over your sliders. Wear your jersey if you're going to a game. Wear cleats over your socks. Tie your hair up

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

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

One of the most common places for clothes to fold and crease is near your bottom and thighs when you sit. The fabric may get folded and permanently crease after you stand up.  For dresses or dress shirts, pull down slightly on the tail when you sit so you are sitting on it flat, as opposed to pressing wrinkles into it with your body. In the car, unbutton the bottom button of your shirt and lay it over the lap belt. This will help prevent creasing along the area where your seat belt rests. If you are in the habit of crossing your legs when you sit, be careful, as it will crease your pants. Just like when you sit, crossing your legs creates small folds in the fabric of your clothes that press down to create creases and wrinkles. Try sitting with your legs uncrossed on days you are avoiding creases. When you are sitting at a desk or table, if space permits, stretch your legs out and keep them outstretched. The more contact and pressure your clothing receives, the more it will crease. Try to let your clothing hang loose and not be pressed up against your body by your hands, folded arms, bags, or jacket for long periods of time. If you are at a party or other event where sitting is not required, stay standing. Sitting is mostly responsible for pant creases in the legs and the seat. If you are able to stand, you will minimize the opportunities for your trousers or dress to wrinkle.

TL;DR in English: Pull your clothes flat when you sit. Avoid crossing your legs. Don't put pressure on your clothes. Stand as much as possible.

Interacting with opinionated people is unavoidable, so, you’ll have to pick your battles wisely to make sure that you’re not engaging in verbal warfare when such people cross your path. Not every annoying comment needs to be dealt with. Also, it may not be in your best interest to try to confront a person.  Is this an opinion worth spending your time disputing? Some opinions may be annoying but is pointless to argue. For instance, the science fiction community may likely never agree if Star Wars or Star Trek is the better franchise, and the die-hard factions are not likely to be swayed by any argument by the other side. In the end, it is a matter of personal opinion. Are you going to win this battle? Fighting the good fight is a laudable action. However, there are places and situations that your actions are not going to change anyone's mind and you will be impacted quite negatively (or worse, an innocent person) in the process. This also means your energy, time, and mood. Is this opinion hurting someone else? Calling out someone for a racist, sexist, bullying or otherwise harmful action or words is generally the right thing to do. Just having a different opinion may not be. People tend to become very defensive if corrected in public, which may make the situation worse. If appropriate and possible, take that person aside and have the conversation in private. Having the conversation in public will only cause embarrassment and hurt feelings.   Maintain a respectful tone. Your tone and attitude will be important if you want to take the step of addressing the situation with the opinionated person. Make sure your tone isn’t angry or sarcastic, and speak softly while maintaining a nonthreatening posture. If the other person gets angry, don’t raise your voice or get similarly agitated. Remain calm and restrained in your interactions. The worst way to interact with an opinionated person is to be combative and domineering. This approach will invariably lead to a game of one-upmanship to prove who knows the most or who...

TL;DR in English: Figure out if you need to confront this behavior. Confront the person in private, if possible. Model ideal conversational strategies. Show respect during the confrontation.

" Oil pulling rests on the yet-untested theory that oils literally pulls toxins out of your system. Although results haven't been conclusive, many people use oil pulling to fight the Candida fungus and to provide temporary relief. Here's how to do it. The process is quite simple.  Brush your teeth beforehand. Oil pull on an empty stomach if at all possible. Take one tablespoon of oil and swill it around in your mouth for 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure it coats every possible part of your mouth — under you tongue, in your gums, the roof of your mouth. After 5 to 10 minutes, spit the oil out and rinse with saltwater. You can do this twice per day for five days. Try doing it once after you wake up in the morning and again before bed. Use coconut oil for best results, although olive oil works too. Coconut oil is rumored to be particularly effective in fighting fungi. The herb thyme is also supposed to be an effective aid in getting rid of oral thrush, although science has yet to substantiate it. In Europe, thyme is used to treat upper respiratory conditions and thrush. Try sprinkling a moderate amount of thyme on any dish that will take it! You could even make a tincture out of it. Take a little bit of apple cider vinegar, dilute it with about a half part of distilled water, and swish it in your mouth for several minutes.  Another option is to mix one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a full 8 ounces of water and drink before every meal. The vinegar is supposed to fight off intestinal yeast overgrowth that sometimes contributes to oral thrush. Some people find this method impossible because of the strong taste associated with the vinegar. You might also experience stomach gurgling when you start the treatment, so don’t start this treatment right before a meeting or another situation where you may feel embarrassed. Garlic, replete with several different sulphur-containing compounds such as allicin, alliin, alliinase and S-allylcysteine, is reputed to help fight a broad range of fungi, including thrush.

Expect to have trust issues after the betrayal. Secure your accounts and valuables. Consider whether you need to go to the authorities.

Put a medium saucepan on a stovetop burner set to medium heat. Add 4 tablespoons (½ of a stick or 57 g) of unsalted butter and allow it to melt. Add ½ of a chopped onion and 3 sprigs of thyme, with the leaves removed. Stir the mixture and cook it about 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Wash and peel 1 small Yukon Gold potato (or ½ of a russet potato), then cut it into 1-inch (2.54-cm) pieces. Stir the potato pieces into the pan and cook them for about 2 minutes, or until the potatoes look chalky. Pour 4 cups (1 L) of chicken broth (you can use a low-sodium broth if you wish) into the pan. Stir to combine the ingredients, then bring the mixture to a boil. Cook it for 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Add 4 cups (1 L) of chopped, wilted arugula, 1 ½ cups (343 mL) of frozen peas, thawed, and 1 teaspoon (5.0 mL) of sugar to the pan. Mix the new ingredients thoroughly into the broth and potato mixture. Remove the pan from heat. Let the heat of the other ingredients soften the arugula for around 10 minutes. Then, pour the mixture into a blender and run it until all the ingredients are smoothly blended. You can season the soup with salt at this point, if desired. Pour the soup into serving bowls. Put a dollop of crème fraîche on top of each portion of soup, then add chopped herbs (like tarragon, mint, parsley, or chives), and serve your soup.

You can also use these responses if you are talking to someone at work, such as a coworker, a client, or your boss. You can also say “Not too shabby” or “Things are good.” These responses are a good way to present a positive demeanor to a coworker, a client, a boss, or an acquaintance. If you are feeling ill or a little sick, you can use this response to let the person know this in a polite way. The person can then move on with the conversation or ask you more probing questions.

If you are constantly losing it, your parents will remember that when you ask them to upgrade you to a more expensive model. Take care of your other electronic devices too, such as your gaming systems, iPods, tablets, and/or computer. Keep them clean, organized, and well-protected. For example, always carry your laptop in its protective sleeve, never eat or drink around it, etc. You should also be careful with your jewelry, watches, and other expensive accessories. If you recently lost the pricey earrings you received for Christmas, for example, your parents may take that as evidence that you shouldn't be trusted with something else (like an iPhone!). Your parents will notice if you have been doing your chores regularly without them having to nag you. This will go a long way when it comes time for you to convince them that you deserve an iPhone. By completing your chores quickly and without complaint—and perhaps even by being willing to do more chores—you are showing your parents that you take your responsibilities seriously and that you care about helping out. While an iPhone can be a helpful tool for school (more on that later), your parents may be worried that it will distract you from your studies. Before you talk to your parents about getting an iPhone, take a careful, honest look at your grades. If they are weak, then you should take the rest of the term (or an additional term) to bring them up into an acceptable range. Meet with your instructors to get feedback on your strengths and weaknesses and to make a plan about how to get your grades up. You may be able to get free tutoring through your school, but even if you (or your parents) have to pay for it, it will be money well-spent: You'll be able to...

TL;DR in English: Keep track of your current phone and other electronics. Take care of all of your expensive belongings. Stay on top of your chores. Keep (or get) your grades up. Consider getting a tutor. Consider getting a job. Spend your money responsibly. Make and stick to, a budget.

The heart rate is simply the number of heartloads of blood that are ejected from the heart per unit of time. Typically we measure heart rate by beats per minute. Measuring your heart rate is simple, but before attempting it, make sure you have an accurate device to count the seconds.  You can attempt to keep track of the the beats and seconds in your head, but this could be inaccurate because the beats you count tend to overpower one’s inner clock.. It is better to set a timer, so you can focus on counting the beats. Try using the timer on your cell phone. Although there are many places on your body where you can find a pulse, the inner wrist is usually an easy place to find it. An alternative is on the side of your throat, on the jugular vein area. Once you have identified your pulse and have a clear beat, take the forefinger and middle finger of one hand and place them over the area where you can feel the pulse.  Usually the pulse is strongest on the inside of the wrist, in a line drawn down from the index finger, within two inches past the first crease of the wrist. You may need to move your fingers around a bit to find your heartbeat. You may also need to apply a little pressure to feel it. However, if you have to press too hard, then this is probably not a good spot. Try a different spot instead. Once you find your heartbeat, start your stopwatch or look at your clock with the second hand, wait until the second hand reaches the 12, and begin counting the beats. Count the beats for one minute (until the second hand returns to the 12). The total number of beats per minute is your heart rate.  If you find it difficult to count your heartbeats for an entire minute, you can count for 30 seconds (until the second hand reaches the 6) and then multiply that number by two. Or you can count for 15 seconds and multiply it by four.

TL;DR in English: Get a stopwatch or clock. Find your pulse. Begin counting the beats.

Your family member has broken your trust. It may be hard to accept, but right now you can expect to not believe much that they say. If this is a first-time offense, or if the theft involves a minor, a firm talking-to might be enough to ensure such an incident doesn't occur in the future. Depending on your relationship with them, they may be able to rebuild the damaged trust later. For now, though, you will have to keep an eye on your things when they are around. It may also help to get some distance from the person until you come to terms with what happened and they are able to make amends. Protect your money and other valuables so your family member can’t steal from you a second time. Keep your bedroom door locked, invest in a home safe, and don’t leave things of value lying around the house. If the theft occurred online, change your passwords and your checking account number. If your family member has stolen your identity, you will need to file a police report in order to remove fraudulent information from your credit report. Reporting your family member may be difficult, but bad credit can haunt you for years, so it’s important to protect yourself from the repercussions of their crime.  If you feel guilty about filing a police report, remind yourself that your family member didn’t feel guilty about stealing your identity and wreaking havoc on your credit. Don’t let their crime turn into your burden. If the culprit is a child or teen, avoid involving any authorities and instead take the chance to talk to this individual about what's right and wrong. You might say, "When people leave things in their home, they expect for them to be where they left them. They feel secure at home. When you take things that don't belong to you from someone's home or any other place, you make that place feel less secure. You also jeopardize the trust you have with that person. You understand what you did was wrong, right?"

TL;DR in English:


Try writing down what you want people to know before starting the conversation. Think about coming out to a friend or younger family member first. Choose who you want to tell, and remember you don't have to come out to everyone at once. Pick a comfortable place and a convenient time. Make sure you feel safe before coming out.

You'll never beat a five minute mile without a plan and proper schedule. For the best results, you should be training almost every day, incorporating different exercises.  Start your week with a distance run, running for at least 40 minutes or about 3 miles, and gradually increasing that as you train. Take the next day to rest or do some other training like yoga or weight lifting. Pick a few days a week to do interval or hill training, followed by another day of rest or cross training. In order to get your body into the right shape for a 5 minute mile, eating the right diet that will give your body energy is important, and it will help it to recover after training.  Get the right proteins through eggs, sweet potatoes, salmon, and chicken. Proteins like salmon contain ingredients like omega-3 essential fatty acids which increase heart health and help performance. Leafy greens like kale contain a wealth of vitamins that keep your body healthy and moving like vitamins A, B6, C, and K.  Whole wheat pasta in the right portions will provide you with the carbs you need to maximize muscle glycogen stores. If you want to run a 5 minute mile you need to train your body in other ways than just running to get into shape. Other exercises will not only help you run faster, but will help prevent injury and increase form.   Planks are a great way to strengthen your core, lower back, and shoulders; three areas that are important for a fast run. Hold planks for 45 seconds and do 3-5 reps. Kettlebell squats will work your glutes and leg muscles while also strengthening your core. Do 2-3 sets of 10-12 reps.  Do some yoga to help you improve flexibility, recover faster, and simply destress.

TL;DR in English: Develop a training schedule. Eat a healthy diet. Work on your general fitness.

When you're about to throw something out, think about if it could serve another purpose in your household. Often, even if it can't continue to serve its original purpose, it can be put to use doing something else.  Use old t-shirts and towels as rags for household cleaning. Clean grout and other small spaces with old toothbrushes. Reuse containers you are going to throw out. For instance, fill paper egg cartons or the bottom of plastic beverage containers with potting soil and use them to plant seedlings. Alternatively, store food, office or craft supplies, or other small items in leftover glass jars. Composting is a great way to keep extra trash out of the landfill. In addition, you can use what you make to provide nutrients to your yard and garden. Basically, composting is where you take organic materials and let them decompose to create a fertilizer. You can compost everything from food scraps, coffee grounds, and eggshells to other household waste like clean, shredded paper, grass clippings, and ashes from the fireplace. Collect the items in a small, lidded container in your home. Most compost piles are outside. You can just have a pile that you turn periodically, but you can also use a wooden, open-sided bin or a wire mesh bin. If you don't have much outdoor space, you can also compost inside. You can purchase ready-made indoor compost pails, or create your own using two garbage cans of different sizes. Place a brick at the bottom of the larger can and add dead branches and/or leaves. Drill holes in the bottom and sides of the smaller can, and place it within the larger can.  Your compost will be ready to use when it is dark brown and crumbly, usually after about three or four months. Incorporate it into your garden, or use it as nutrient-rich mulch. If you don't have an interest in composting, some cities offer composting and mulching for items like tree branches and grass clippings. regularly. At the end of the day, you're still going to have some waste. The best option for this waste is to recycle it...

TL;DR in English: Repurpose old items. Compost what you can. Make a compost pile or bin. Recycle Designate an area in your kitchen just for recycling.

Your dependability will initially be tested with small things. Even if these things seem insignificant, they matter when you’re trying to develop trust. For example, always return things that you borrow undamaged. If you say you are going to be somewhere, show up and be on time. When you say you’re going to do something, no matter how small, do it.  Every time you prove that you’re dependable, trust grows. No one is perfect. Occasionally you are going to be late, lose a borrowed book, or forget about something you said you would do. When this happens, apologize and own up to it immediately. If you have to break plans that you have made with someone, then make sure to call and let the person know as soon as possible. Try not to do this too often though because it can have a negative effect on your relationship if you are always canceling at the last minute. Prove that you can be trusted by respecting their privacy. Never share any confidential information that they give you. If you do, that person probably won’t feel comfortable trusting you with their secrets again for a long time, if ever. The only time you should consider breaking a confidence is if the person is in some kind of life-threatening danger and you need to alert someone.  Even then, the person will probably be angry with you for breaking their confidence. If this happens, apologize and explain that you only did it because you were truly worried about their safety. When someone learns that you've lied to them, they're naturally going to assume it will happen again. Be truthful with them, even when it’s hard. If you think telling them the truth might hurt their feelings, try to find a considerate way to tell them. If you make a mistake, take responsibility and own up to it. Be upfront with them. Don’t let them find out about it some other way.  Work on showing that you’re an honest person – even if your friend isn’t directly involved in the situation.  If they witness you being honest about other things and with other people, it will make them...

TL;DR in English: Be reliable. Keep their secrets confidential. Be honest. Trust them first.

It’s totally normal to feel nervous before coming out. You can help calm your nerves and feel prepared by making a general outline of what you want to say, which you can then bring with you during the conversation. Then, if you're not sure what to say, refer back to your notes to keep the discussion focused on you and your identity.   A lot of people aren’t familiar with what it means to be nonbinary. Try to think of some questions that they might ask. Jot down some answers so that you are ready to provide information. For example, you might want to write down what being nonbinary means to you. That might mean identifying as gender fluid or gender neutral, for instance. Remember, this is different for everyone. You might also write down whether or not you think coming out as nonbinary might impact your life. That's something that others might want to know. They might also ask if this will impact your relationship with them. Younger people are more likely to be open-minded about sexuality and tend to be more progressive than older generations. If you're nervous about how some people might react, it might be easier to have that first conversation with someone that you feel really comfortable with. Ask a younger person that you trust if they have time to talk about something important to you. It can also be helpful to talk to someone who has experience coming out as LGBTQ+. They might have some good advice for you. Who you come out to is your choice, so take some time to think about how you want to approach the situation. Do you want everyone to know? Are you more comfortable with the idea of having one-on-one conversations? If you're not sure, think about people in your life who are supportive, understanding, and open-minded, and try starting there. Choose a spot where you will feel comfortable having an important conversation. This might be your living room or a friend’s house. Try to choose somewhere where you won’t be interrupted, at a time where you think the other person will be able to devote their full...

Staph bacteria are a common cause of food poisoning. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea and, when caused by staph, usually subside in a day or so. Call your doctor if you don’t feel better within 24 to 48 hours. In the meantime, avoid overexerting yourself and drink plenty of water, sports drinks, or Pedialyte to stay hydrated. Try to keep down plain rice, soup or broth, and other bland foods. Wash your hands frequently to help prevent spreading germs, especially if you’re vomiting or have diarrhea. Septic arthritis is a joint infection often caused by staph bacteria. Schedule an appointment with your doctor if you experience symptoms such as intense joint pain, redness, swelling, and fever. Infections typically occur in the knees, ankles, or toes and, usually, only one joint is affected.  Symptoms of septic arthritis develop suddenly. In other forms of arthritis, joint pain and swelling develop gradually, often occur at distinct times during the day, and typically affect more than one joint. Your doctor will perform an examination and take a bacterial culture. They’ll aspirate the joint, or remove excess fluid to decrease swelling. If they determine you have an infection, they’ll inject medication into the joint or prescribe oral antibiotics. TSS can occur when staph bacteria spread to the bloodstream and internal organs. Symptoms include fever above 102 °F (39 °C), disorientation, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, and a red rash on the bottoms of the hands and feet. TSS is a medical emergency and requires immediate care. It can result from using a tampon for longer than the recommended amount time or from an infected burn, wound, or surgical site. Sepsis is a serious condition caused by the body’s immune response to a widespread bacterial infection. Symptoms include fever above 102 °F (39 °C), chills, disorientation, rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath.

People in the countries bordering the Mediterranean are much more active than people in the US.  Their increased activity level is partially why their lifestyle is considered very healthy.  Physical activity has been associated with many health benefits including:  increasing high density lipoprotein (HDL or the "good" cholesterol) levels, decreasing triglyceride levels, decreasing your risk of diabetes and high blood pressure, improving arthritis-related pain, and the reduction of some cancers. Try to do moderate-intensity aerobic exercise at least five times a week for 30 minutes during each session.  This will help you meet the minimum guideline in the US of 150 minutes of physical activity weekly.   Take up walking, running, biking, swimming, and hiking to get aerobic exercise. In addition, incorporate two to three days of 20 minutes of strength training each week. You should also try yoga or pilates that will help to build up your strength and flexibility. People that live in Mediterranean participate in more lifestyle activity compared to people in the US. Being more active throughout the day has been shown to have similar benefits to aerobic activity.  Lifestyle activity are those exercises that you incorporate into your daily routine.  For example, taking the stairs or mopping the floor are considered lifestyle activities. People in the Mediterranean tend to have more lifestyle activity in their days.  For example, they walk to and from destinations or ride their bikes instead of driving.  Being active is a key part of their daily routines. Think about your day, work schedule and overall week.  Where can you fit in more movement or more steps?  Can you ride your bike to work?  Can you walk to the pharmacy or grocery store?  Can you take the stairs instead of the elevator?  Try to add in more steps in your day. Another aspect of a Mediterranean diet and lifestyle is that they typically eat more mindfully compared to the rushed lifestyles of the US. Eating mindfully can help you eat less, enjoy your...

TL;DR in English: Exercise regularly. Walk and move more throughout the day. Eat mindfully. Manage stress.

Stunning your enemies is one of the new combos for Battle Magician and is found the most useful when dealing one-on-one combat. By pressing arrow toward your enemy twice, your character will start running. Press Up to jump and then X to release a small energy ball ( >> or <<, Up, X ).  This attack can cancel the enemy's skill and make them vulnerable to combo attacks. This skill will only cause your opponent to twitch, not knock them down. The downfall of this is that, compared to the basic Aisha's Fireball, the energy ball travels slow. #*This skill is best used when in close combat. A lot of players prefer skills that won't knock down their enemy as they can do more skill combos and juggle. However, for Battle Magician, it is important to have a knock-down attack to prevent the enemy from getting too close. Knock your enemies down by pressing Z four times; your Battle Magician will execute her basic combo. Once hit, the enemy will be knocked down at the fourth Z ( Z, Z, Z, Z ). If the knock-down isn't enough, you can throw the enemy into the air. It's similar to Aisha's old skill, but much better with an addition of teleportation and bigger physical damage.  To do this, dash toward your enemy by pressing the arrow twice, press Z to hit with melee attack, followed by X three times  ( >> or <<, Z, X, X, X ). Your Battle Magician will teleport behind the enemy then unleash a skill to throw them off the ground. This is a bit difficult to execute compared to the other combos, but it inflicts the highest damage once successfully performed.

TL;DR in English: Stun your enemy. Knock down your enemy. Throw enemies into the air.

Use a regular teaspoon-sized spoon, and not a large one. You want it to fit neatly over your eye, so that the curve of the spoon will match the curve of your eyelid. Warming up the metal will create a better curl by transferring heat to your eyelash hairs. It will have a curling iron-like effect on your lashes. Dry the spoon once it's warmed up. Position it horizontally and rest it gently against your lid. You want the bottom of the spoon to be against your eyelid, with the bowl of the spoon facing out. Align the edge of the spoon with your upper lash line. Use your finger to press them over the edge of the spoon and into the bowl. Hold them there against the warm metal for thirty seconds.  Do the same to the lashes on your other eye. You may need to warm up the spoon again before starting. Using either clear or black mascara will help the curl stay in place for the rest of the day. Only use an eyelash comb to separate and define your lashes if there is clumping. Don't comb too much, or you'll lose the curl.

TL;DR in English: Grab a clean spoon. Run it under hot water. Hold the spoon against your eyelid. Press your lashes against the curve of the spoon. Apply mascara to set the curl. Carefully comb your lashes while mascara is still wet. Finished.

While height is just one of the factors that dictates the safety of a fall (along with falling surface and jump form) it is something you should take into consideration while you plan your jump. Falling from a height of 10 feet or more can result in serious, life-long injury or even death.  If you participate in a sport that requires jumping from great heights, then work up to this gradually and take all of the necessary safety precautions. You should also be aware that repeatedly landing jumps from a great height can be as damaging to your spine as getting hit in the head is to your brain. There have been a few recorded cases of people falling thousands of feet and surviving. Don't use this as an example to go by, however. These are considered miraculous exceptions for a good reason. Whether you're jumping down for fun or in an emergency, the surface you're landing on will have a huge effect on the landing itself. Softer surfaces are always preferable to hard ones, as they'll help absorb some of the shock of the land.  Grass, sand and mud are good places to fall to. Concrete, on the other hand, is about as unforgiving as it gets. Surfaces with a lot of degree can pose an extra threat. Landing onto an otherwise soft area with pine needles would result in a different (but similarly intense) sort of pain. If you have time to prepare for your jump, you should make sure to wear something on your feet that will help to cushion the force. If you're aiming for a proper landing on your feet, you run the risk of hurting them without something to ease the shock. Most sports sneakers include this technology in some form. Shoes with a strong grip help if there's any risk of slipping during your fall. While it may seem counter-intuitive if you're getting ready for a big jump, it is important to relax a much as you can. If you get needlessly frustrated, your joints will tense up. This increases the risk of potential injury. If you've got the time to spare, try looking at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself everything...

TL;DR in English:


Use the bottom of a 2 liter (0.53 US gal) soda bottle to stamp cherry blossom designs onto a large sheet of paper. Make a Chia pet out of a 2 liter (0.53 US gal) bottle. Turn several 2 liter (0.53 US gal) bottles into snack bowls. Turn two plastic bottles into a zippered coin purse. Make a greenhouse for a plant. Turn a plastic bottle into a birdfeeder. Use the bottle caps to make a mosaic artwork.

Ask yourself if you ever put up walls to avoid getting hurt. Opening up to someone can feel risky, and it’s okay if you’ve ever been afraid to let someone get too close. Falling in love involves making yourself vulnerable, and understanding your defenses is the first step to lowering them.  If you’ve had relationships in the past, think about times when you avoided getting close to your partner. For instance, maybe you didn't tell them how much you liked them out of fear that they wouldn't feel the same. It’s tough to think about defense mechanisms, especially since they’re usually related to getting hurt in the past. Try to be honest with yourself, and remember that everyone has insecurities and fears. Remember that no one’s perfect, and accept yourself for who you are. Embracing yourself can help make it easier to open up to a romantic partner and fall in love with them.  That said, there’s always room to grow. For instance, you can't make yourself taller or shorter, but you can work on eating healthy and exercising to be your healthiest self. Remind yourself that you’re a great person, and you have a lot of wonderful qualities! Look in the mirror and tell yourself, “You’re a good person, so don’t be afraid to be yourself! Let your guard down, and allow yourself to fall in love.” Everyone has an inner critic, and sometimes self-critical thoughts can become irrational and unrealistic. If you notice yourself thinking things like “You’re no good” or “They’ll never love you,” stop the thought process and remind yourself to stay objective. Playing hard-to-get and withholding feelings are common practices in today’s dating world. However, it’s better to be honest about your feelings. While you don’t have to share every little detail on the first date, try to be authentic instead of playing games.  For instance, if you went on a date with someone and had a good time, tell them. If you want to text, “Thanks for a fun night! I had a great time,” do it. Don’t feel like you have to wait 3 days before calling or...

TL;DR in English: Identify your defense mechanisms. Accept things about yourself that you can't change. Redirect overly critical thoughts. Resist the urge to play games. Don’t be afraid of rejection.

This may be difficult to do if you're buying online; if the seller says that it's scratch free or has hardly been used, you basically have to take their word for it. It's good to make sure the seller has a refund policy, so that when the iPad comes in the mail and it's not what you expected, you can send it back.  But if you're buying the iPad in a store, this is the perfect time to test out its functions and examine its body to make sure it's worth your money. When checking the body of the iPad, examine the screen for dead pixels, cracks, water damage, dents, scratches or any other signs of wear and tear. Check to make sure that the iPad turns on and off by pressing and holding down the Sleep/Wake button on the top or side of the iPad. The screen should go dark and a button should pop up and say "Slide to Power Off." Slide it to the right to do so. To turn it back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again.  Check to make sure the iPad connects to Wifi. Go into the Settings application, select Wifi and then turn Wifi on. If the iPad connects to the closest available network, then the Wifi capabilities work. Be wary of sellers who may be trying to scam you into purchasing a stolen iPad. To figure out whether or not the iPad was stolen, check out the the serial number of the device in the Apple support website at https://checkcoverage.apple.com, and check to make sure the Find My iPhone Activation Lock is turned off and the device is ready for you to use.  You can check the Activation Lock status on Apple's website here. After going to the website, enter your device's IMEI identification number or its hardware serial number, and the page will say whether the device is locked or not. This will show that the iPad you're buying has been cleared of all the previous users' past data and that it truly belongs to you. Charger cords can be damaged or not work properly, so plug the iPad into its charger to make sure that it works.  The older versions of the iPad have a 30 pin connector, while the new iPads have a...

TL;DR in English: Check the body of the iPad. Make sure the iPad's basic functions are working properly. Make sure that the iPad isn't stolen. If accessories are included, check to make sure they're in good condition.

This is an absolutely brilliant plan. First, pick a time when your brother doesn't think you're home and nobody else is there. Then, hide in a closet far away from he is, maybe your own. Then, quietly call the house from your cell phone. When your brother answers the phone, tell him that you need him to go to your closet (or whatever closet you're in) to check on something for you. Then, when he opens the closet, spring out at him and say, "boo!" He'll never expect to see you there and will freak out! You'll be able to hold this one against him for years. The first sentence says it all. Find a big cardboard box that you can climb inside that closes up top, place it on your front porch, and then ring the doorbell and jump inside the box, making sure to quickly close it over yourself. When your brother opens the door and approaches the box, you can jump out! This is guaranteed to make him scream. It works best if you ring the doorbell when he's a bit away from the door, so he doesn't answer it too soon and see you climbing into the box. If you can't find any big cardboard boxes around the house, then you can get some at your local grocery store. Just ask one of the employees -- many grocery stores often give away their extra boxes. Wait until he's so obsessed with what's going on with his computer that he completely doesn't notice who else is in the room. If you can do this at night, when most of the lights in his room are out, then even better. Put on a creepy clown, Scream, or Jason mask and slowly creep up to him until you're practically breathing down his neck. Then, release a guttural, terrifying howl, and watch him jump five feet in the air. If you have another friend or sibling who is as quiet as a mouse, he or she can film the whole thing for effect, and you can use it as blackmail.

TL;DR in English: Plan a big attack from the closet. Ring the doorbell and then hide in a box outside the front door. Give him a good scare.

You can call your state to check the zoning laws of your property to see if you are  allowed to put a new building on your property. You don’t want the state to ruin the fun by fining you for your newly created underground house. Even if you’re underground you're not safe from the law. More official business. You need to pre-mark  the area on your property that you want to excavate with stakes and white paint. Then you call your state’s Dig Safe branch and describe the area that you plan to dig in. Hopefully they will grant you permission. You definitely have to do this to ensure that you’re not going to dig into a sewage system or something like that. Hiring a professional to do it for you wouldn’t be the worst idea. Depending on the size of your house you probably are going to need to use heavy machinery, and if you have no experience with that hiring a professional is probably the way to go. Search for professional excavators on the internet or contact a local construction company. They should be able to quote you a cost and at the very least offer you some helpful tips. You may be able to negotiate a price to use their equipment if you can prove that you are trained to use it. This isn’t a solo job even if you really want it to be. When you’re excavating or dealing with heavy materials you need someone to make sure that you are safe. You are going to be dealing with a lot of heavy materials and working in the earth and something could happen at any time. Make sure you have a partner. Look for a spot that is outside of your area’s 100-year flood plain and isn't near any steep slopes that might trigger a landslide. A large open space is probably best suited for an underground house, because tree roots can also cause issues during excavation. The odds are that you will be trying to build this house on your own property, so you probably don't have to worry too much but just be aware.  Generally you want to stay away from any large objects like trees, boulders, or multi-story buildings. You also shouldn't...

TL;DR in English: Check your zoning laws. Get permission from the state to dig. Hire a professional excavator or buy professional equipment. Find someone willing to help you. Find a suitable location.

One way to better understand your teen’s smoking is to discuss reasons why they may be doing it. Sit down with them and ask them to reflect on why they may be smoking. Doing this may help both of you realize the motivations behind their smoking and possible get to the root cause. Determining the root cause of their smoking could then allow you to help them work on the issue and prevent them from smoking again. Have your teen write down their reasons for smoking as well as how they started smoking. Use the question, “Why do you think you are smoking?” as a writing prompt. Then, have them share their thoughts with you and discuss them together. Some teens are motivated to smoke because they watch their parents or other authority figures light up on a regular basis. They may then take up smoking out of curiosity or out of a desire to emulate their parents. If you, as a parent, have a smoking habit, you should consider quitting. This will allow you to practice what you preach and act as a role model for your teen. Quitting smoking can be a challenge, but let your teen know that you are willing to take it on so they do not end up smoking like you. You may then ask them to support you by not smoking as well. This way, you can both be there for each other as you both attempt to quit. If your teen is struggling to quit smoking or if you are worried your teen will develop a full on smoking addiction, you may reach out to professionals for help. It can difficult to stop smoking once you start, especially at a young age. You should try to support and help your teen by getting them professional help so they can learn how to stop smoking. You can contact an addiction counselor through the American Lung Association or your Department of Health. You may also want to talk to your family doctor and get a referral for an addiction therapist who has worked with teens before.

TL;DR in English: Ask your teen why they are smoking. Try to quit smoking, if you smoke. Get your teen professional help.

Use a thick brush to paint a branch on a long piece of paper. Dip the bottom of the bottle into pink paint, and then use it to stamp cherry blossom patterns around the branch. Paint a few black or pink dots in the middle of each blossom. The best bottle to use for this project has 5 to 6 nubs or bumps on the bottom. These will make the petals. Cut the bottom half of a 2 liter (0.53 US gal) soda bottle off. Use hot glue to stick on a bottle cap for a large, funny nose, and two googly eyes. Fill the bottle with soil and dampen it with water. Sprinkle the dirt with some fast-growing grass seed. Cut the bottom part off of several 2 liter (0.53 US gal) bottles. Decorate the outside with some paint, colored paper, or stickers. Fill each cup with some nuts, crackers, or candy, and use it for your next party. Cut the bottom 1 ½ inch (3.81 centimeters) off of two water bottles using a craft knife. Discard the top part and keep the bottom. Find a zipper that can wrap all the way around the bottle. Put a line of hot glue around the inside rim of one of the bottles. Press the fabric part of the zipper against the glue. The zipper pull should be on the outside of the bottle, and the teeth should be lined up with the rim. Open the zipper, then place a line of hot glue around the inside rim of the other bottle. Press the other side of the zipper against the glue. Wait until the glue hardens, then close the zipper. You have just made a little zipper coin purse. You can make a pencil case by cutting the top part off of one bottle, and the bottom 1 ½ inch (3.81 centimeters) off of another. You will end up with a short bottle bottom, and a long bottle bottom. Use these instead to make a pencil case. Fill a small terracotta flowerpot with soil. Dampen the soil and make a small hole in the center. Drop a few seeds into the hole and cover it with more soil. Cut a 2 liter (0.53 US gal) bottle in half, and discard the bottom half. Take the cap off, and place the top domed part over the flower pot. The bottle with either sit right on...

TL;DR in English:


Congratulate yourself when you don’t smile inappropriately. Stay positive even if you mess up. Continue to practice until you successfully change your habit. Let yourself smile when it is appropriate.

Spending time together is one of the best ways to fall in love. Go on dates and do things that you both like to do. Just having fun together will help your girlfriend realize how happy she is with you. Show her that you see her in your future. Planning for the future is an indicator of your commitment and is also a healthy ingredient for a budding relationship.  Start making "we" statements (e.g. "We" should get furniture for your new dorm room. "We" should go see that movie you've been wanting to see next weekend, etc.). For example, if you're with someone who loves art, make plans to go to the Getty Museum. If she likes ice hockey, suggest you both go to a game. Start planning holidays and special dates. This is always a fun time in a relationship. Decide when you'll see her family and when you'll spend with yours over big holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. She'll love that you're thinking ahead and showing your that she and her family are a priority for you, especially during busy times like the holidays. By talking about the future, and even just the short-term future, you're helping her imagine herself with you down the line. If she asks you to not to use a particular word or requests or asks that you call her father Mr. So-and-So, then agree to accommodate her request. This isn't "giving in" to her "demands," but instead respecting her wishes.  Respect her individuality first and foremost. A woman who feels that her boyfriend allows her to make her own decisions is more likely to remain in a relationship than a woman who feels that she is being told what to do all the time. Don't compare her to other women. Accept and embrace that she is her own unique individual.  Don't intimidate or force her into doing things she doesn't want to do. This is a sure-fire way to an unhealthy relationship. This doesn't necessarily mean engaging in sexual activity, but instead creating closeness and sexual chemistry. Physical and emotional intimacy is a key component of healthy, loving relationships. Stay...

TL;DR in English: Do activities together. Make future plans. Show her respect and appreciation. Get intimate. Introduce her to your friends. Clean up your act. Be yourself. Surprise her.

Select the enchanting table to do so. Select an ordinary book, then select the book-shaped box in the crafting table. Select your lapis lazuli, then select the box to the right of the book's box. You'll need at least three lapis lazuli per enchantment. On the right side of the crafting table's interface, you'll see several enchantments listed. Select the one you want; if you don't see the one you want, select the lowest-level one. The book should now be purple and pink, signifying that it has been enchanted. You most likely won't find the enchantment that you want the first time around, so keep enchanting books until you find the enchantment that you want.  It's best to create low-level enchantments when the enchantment table gives you three unwanted enchantment options. After creating an enchanted book, you'll need to re-level your character to level 30.

TL;DR in English: Open the enchanting table. Place a book in the enchanting table. Place the lapis lazuli in the table. Select an enchantment. Move the enchanted book to your inventory. Repeat as necessary.

You cannot shred raw beef. Instead, you will need to shred the beef after you have already cooked it. Let the beef cool slightly before shredding it. For this method, it needs to be cool enough for you to safely touch without burning your skin. Place the beef on your cutting surface and hold it steady with your non-dominant hand. Make sure that your hands are clean and dry. Identify the direction of the beef grain. Scrape the tines (prongs) of the fork along these grains, ripping off portions of cooked beef as you go. It will be easiest to hold the beef so that the grain runs to and away from you. As you scrape, draw the fork down the length of the grain and toward you. You will need to continue scraping the fork along the grains of your beef roast until all the meat has been shredded. Pause occasionally during the process to manually remove pieces of beef from the fork whenever the tines get clogged. If you see any gristle in the beef as you work, discard the gristle, then continue shredding. Shredded beef can be used immediately, or you can store it in the refrigerator for up to three days.  If you plan on storing the shredded beef, place 2-cup (500-ml) portions inside airtight containers and pour enough of the cooking liquid over the beef to moisten it. This cooking liquid prevents the beef from drying out. If you cannot use the beef within three days, place it in the freezer and store it for up to three months. Thaw the beef in your refrigerator, or place the contents of the container in a small saucepan and heat it over medium-low until the beef is adequately warm.

TL;DR in English: Use a cooked roast. Hold the roast steady with one hand. Shred off the beef with one fork. Repeat as needed. Use or store.

You can also tap the heart-shaped button. This will indicate that you like the profile and would like to match with that person. You can also tap the X button. Doing so will prevent the profile from showing up in your Tinder feed. If you like someone and they like you back, you have a match; you'll receive a notification, and you can talk to the person in your messages. It's in the top-right corner of the screen. You'll find it on this page, though you can use the search bar at the top of the page to search specifically for a user. If you are initiating contact with the other person, make sure your first message is friendly and confident without being creepy.  Avoid simply saying "Hi"; instead write something like, "Hi, how's your day going?"  Try to stand out with your first message. It's easy to forget that you're talking to another human being through Tinder, so remember to remain positive, kind, and respectful while interacting with your match.

TL;DR in English: Swipe right over a profile to like it. Swipe left over a profile to dismiss it. Wait for a match to occur. Tap the messages icon. Tap your match's name. Write a strong first message. Be considerate.

This is a lot like the above step, but it doesn't hurt to have the reminder that being sassy is a lot about having fun. Why wouldn't you? You're confident, energetic, and cracking people up (even if it's just you). So don't be afraid to create an atmosphere of awesome, regardless of the situation. Because with the right outlook, everything is and you are, too. Seriously. Be that person that can have fun with anything. Did you get an extra-large slice of coffee cake at lunch today? SCORE. Uh oh. Did you spill that coffee cake on your shirt? Fashion show time! Stains are all the rage, you know.  Is Becky looking at you funny, modeling your coffee cake stain? Just tell her if she can rock pit stains, you can rock the cake stains. (Said with a smile, of course.) You know those people that manage to have some sort of invisibility power? They can walk into any room, and practically no one notices? They stick to the wall, slink in and slink out, barely making a sound? Yeah, that's not you. You're too rambunctious for that. Being sassy is something everyone notices! So whether you're cracking jokes, telling stories, or putting on lunch-stain fashion shows, go for it. Don't shy away from all eyes being on you. And the best part? Your positive energy and vivaciousness will keep any party going. Not everybody can play that role! . To be the sassy one, you'll be the one comfortable saying what everybody is thinking. You don't get embarrassed by telling it like it is -- good or bad. So many people are afraid to ask for what they want or to give even just their true thoughts on the matter. Not you! So when your teacher gives you three days to write that 5-page paper, you tell him that that's an illogical amount of time. When your crush tells a funny joke, you're not afraid to tell him how cute he is. And when your friend is wearing that pair of pants she should not be wearing, you tell her before anyone else notices. Since you're confident, vivacious, and bold, your body language needs to match. What does a sassy girl seem...

TL;DR in English: Have fun! Make your presence known. Speak your mind Make your body language sassy, too. Don't worry what others think.

Rewards are an important part of changing habits. You need to reward yourself every time you do a good job controlling your smile.  Tell yourself that you did a great job. It even helps to say this out loud once you’re alone. Physically pat yourself on the back. It may seem silly, but it’s actually effective. You can give yourself a more tangible reward, if you like. You can take yourself out for a nice meal or buy yourself something as a gift. No one is going to change their habits perfectly right off the bat. Accept the fact you’ll probably still smile inappropriately sometimes. Don’t beat yourself up when you slip.  Being too hard on yourself is likely to make you even more uncomfortable in tough situations. That can create a cycle of discomfort that will lead to you smiling when you don’t want to. Say positive affirmations to yourself, such as, “That was a good try. Next time, I’m going to do even better.” There are conflicting thoughts on how long it takes to break and reform habits. However, everyone can agree that it doesn’t happen overnight. It may take anywhere from three weeks to three months of consistent work. If you’re doing very well with changing your habit, you can practice with more scenarios and ones that are more challenging. Make sure you keep allowing yourself to smile when you actually should! Smiling is a huge way that people convey comfort, affection, and attraction. Don’t retrain yourself so much that you lose the ability to smile in an uncontrolled way.  When you’re around someone who you are attracted to but don’t want them to know it, you may want to control your smile. However, if it would be okay for them to think that you like them, let yourself smile! They will likely feel more comfortable around you. Even in difficult situations, smiling and laughing are ways people often deal with grief and trauma. It’s perfectly okay to smile or laugh at a funeral or other somber occasion, as long as you’re not being rude or inconsiderate.

TL;DR in English:
