Get to know him. Laugh at his jokes. Feed off his humor.

Making sure your body is in top physical condition before labor begins can reduce the likelihood of a prolonged labor. Preparing your body for what's to come can make labor easier and quicker when your baby arrives. Walk or swim regularly, and incorporate a few specialized exercises.  Kegels, small internal contractions of the pelvic muscles, can help your body with the pushing stage of labor and also reduce the risk of hemorrhoids in the weeks after childbirth. You can do kegels virtually anywhere. Simply contract the muscles around your vagina, as you would when holding in urine, then hold for four seconds and release. Repeat this 10 times. Three or four sets, done about three times a day, is ideal.  The pelvic tilt, also known as the angry cat, can strengthen abdominal muscles and reduce back pain during pregnancy. Get on your hands and knees, keeping your arms straight without locking your elbows. Tighten your abdominal muscles when breathing in and move your buttocks below your back. Relax your back when you breathe out and repeat at your own pace. Move in time to the rhythm of your breath.  Squatting helps open your pelvis, important for labor. Stand with a chair facing your back and, using the chair for support, contract abdominal muscles, lift your chest, and relax your shoulders. Lower your tailbone to the floor, as if you were going to sit down on the chair, and then rise again to the standing position. Making sure your body is healthy before delivery is vital to a smooth labor. Nutrition is just as important as exercise. Each woman's body is different, so there's no one-size-fits-all guideline to how much weight you should gain.  The adage that you're eating for two is false as your caloric intake does not double. However, you should increase the amount of calories you're eating as your pregnancy progresses. In general, a woman with a BMI between 18.5 and 25.9 should gain between 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy. A woman with a BMI higher than this should only gain 15 to 25 pounds. Discuss how much...

TL;DR in English: Stay fit during pregnancy. Monitor your weight during your pregnancy. Follow the food pyramid during pregnancy. Rest between your contractions.

Video is a visual medium, and while voice overs and text are great to get information across they are not incredibly compelling. If you're shooting alone you will not be able to use dialog, actors, or a ton of sound to tell your story. What you have, however, is all the time in the world to set up great shots, capture good video, and work on creating compelling angles. Have the mind of a photographer on every shot. Ask yourself if, on its own, the image is interesting. A storyboard is just the comic book version of your movie. They are invaluable ways to design your film, allowing you to "see" the movie before shooting. It then acts as your guidebook to the film. You can find and print templates online, or simply draw out your basic shots in advance with pen and paper. Improvising for the camera has it's place, of course. But storyboards are a good way to plan where the camera should go. Camera microphones are notoriously bad, and they become useless when the camera is far away from the action. An external microphone will make a huge difference in your production quality, since most audiences notice bad sound before rough video. Make discrete, compelling "scenes" instead of turning the camera on and letting it run while you move around. This ensures that you think about each scene individually and it makes editing much easier. Focus works by sharpening the image at one particularly distance from the camera. If you move around the camera will struggle to keep up, shifting focus or becoming blurry. Put down a small piece of tape that tells you where you need to sit or stand for each take. Films of any lengths are built in the editing booth.The more raw material, or film, that you have to work with the happier you will be, and the easier it will be to make a great movie. Grab different angles of the same shot, run through different lines, or videotape your environment for atmospheric shots. Every extra shot counts. Experiment with shots. Take crazy angles, get weird, abstract shots of everyday objects, and...

TL;DR in English: Focus on telling your story or idea visually. Make a storyboard of your film. Use an external mic instead of the camera microphone. Shoot in short bursts, not long single takes, when getting lots of footage. Stay in one place if you are filming yourself. Get 3-5 times the footage you think you need.

A wedding program is basically a list of the events at your wedding ceremony. You will want to ensure that the events are listed in sequential order on the program. Here is a list of items to consider for your wedding program:  Name of bride and groom. Date and location of the ceremony. Processional and recessional music selections. Greetings from the officiant. Special readings (cite the readings and also include the name of the reader). Prayers or religious customs. Exchanging of vows and rings (some people like to print their vows in the program. This will take up extra space and may cause the program to be too long.) Lighting of unity candle or special song. Pronouncement of marriage. Typically, the person officiating your wedding will have a general outline for how they perform a wedding ceremony. Make sure that you talk about any additional readings or songs you would like to include and arrange where they should be placed in the ceremony. A wedding program is a great place to provide the names of the bride's and groom’s parents along with the wedding party. Remember that many people attending your wedding will not know each other. A list of names can allow you to introduce your parents and bridal party to your guests.  For example, list the parents of the bride, parents of the groom, maid of honor, best man, bridesmaids, and groomsmen. You may also want to include the names of grandparents. If your wedding reception is in a different location from your wedding ceremony, it is a good idea to include the address for the reception on the back of the program. This will help your guests with traveling from the ceremony to the reception. You may also want to include a map and directions to help your guests as they travel.

TL;DR in English: Outline your ceremony. Speak with your officiant to help determine the order of events. Consider a section to introduce parents and the bridal party. Add the address of the reception.

You don't have to clean the main air ducts, but you can do it if cleaning out as much dust as possible is your goal. First, check to see if you have rectangular duct work. If so, go ahead and slide the drives down with the use of pliers. Then, pull the caps off of the slips. The terminology may sound technical, but it should be pretty easy to figure out when you're standing in front of it. The drives are the long, vertical pieces of metal on your rectangular duct work. Take your vacuum hose and slide it into the space created by removing the caps. This should be pretty easy to do, unless the duct is up against the wall. Vacuum out as much dirt and dust as possible. Then, check out what you've done with a flashlight. Vacuum again if doesn't look as clean as you'd like it to be. This is only necessary if you actually have a basement. Usually the duct work in your house will have a few registers dedicated to the air flow in your basement. Take off those registers and vacuum inside of them. Hopefully the job has been done to your liking, but it's okay if you couldn't clean the ducts as well as you would have liked. Some problems, like mold, are too big to handle on your own. If so, call in a professional.

TL;DR in English: Take the caps off of the rectangular duct work. Vacuum out the dust. Remove the inside basement registers. Call in a professional.

When it comes to a one night stand, it’s best to keep things light and somewhat superficial to decrease the chances that you will fall in love. Avoid focusing too much on the person’s personality, values, interests, etc. Instead, try to find someone who you find physically attractive, but don’t worry too much about his or her personality.  Try sticking to non-serious topics when you are talking with the person. Flirt, talk about the drinks, the music, the moment, or the events of the evening. Try to avoid getting into deep discussions, such as about the person’s values, passions, and other intimate topics. You might even try searching out someone who you have little in common with or who has a personality that you don’t really enjoy. Think of a time when you’ve thought to yourself that you found someone physically attractive, but had no interest in pursuing that person because you didn’t like their personality. This may be the type of person you can have a one night stand with and not have to worry about falling for them. If you end up at their place, leave once you’ve had your fun. Staying the night might create a false sense of intimacy because you’re sleeping and maybe even cuddling with the other person. When you leave, you don’t need to seem cold or uncaring. Just explain that you’ve got a big day tomorrow, and you don’t want to be rushed for time in the morning.  Keep in mind that this doesn’t mean you have to get up and run for the door as soon as the fun is over. You can hang out for a bit if it feels comfortable to do so. Don’t, however, hang around for hours. If they are staying at your place it can be a bit more complicated. You could casually mention that you have a really early meeting to get to, and they may take the hint. If they don’t take the hint, be polite and let them stay if they want to. If you do end up staying the night, for whatever reason, don’t hang around in the morning. Minimizing the amount of time you have to get to know each other will keep you from developing feelings for...

TL;DR in English: Keep things light and superficial. Don’t stay the night. Leave first thing in the morning. Don’t exchange contact information. Skip the one night stand.

Humor is subjective. What you find funny won't necessarily be the same thing even your best friend finds funny. So in order to know what tickles his funny bone, get to know him! What TV shows does he like? What comedians? What kind of humor does he use to amuse others? All of these are cues as to what gets him giggling. The most aptly-timed joke on, say, Foucault won't be appreciated by the type of guy who prefers laughing at toilet humor. And it works the other way around, too. Does the guy you're eyeing prefer bro banter? Is he into witty non-sequiturs about current events? Can he be slayed by a play on words in Klingon? Find out! On the whole, women value a sense of humor more than men do. What do men want? Someone who will make them feel funny. Instead of trying to impress him, show him that he impresses you. Showing him that he has the right to laugh at his own jokes, too, because he's just so darn awesome could win him over in no time. You don't have to laugh at every joke he makes like your world has just been altered. If he drops a dud, laugh at him, albeit playfully. Did he just try an unfunny, stereotypical, sexist, blonde joke? Oh, honey. Let him know how cute he is for trying with a fake chuckle and a forced grin. When we click with people, chemistry is pretty Unable to ignore. To show him that you just get him and that you appreciate his humor, feed off of it! Did he just whip out his Sean Connery impression on a dime? Keep it going with your best Alex Trebek or Pussy Galore (doesn't have to be good -- this moment is about him). If not an impression, can you drop a line from a movie or challenge him to up his game to Christopher Walken? Establishing a banter can develop a rapport between you two, creating a bond that won't easily be broken. Whether his humor is self-deprecating or straight out of Family Guy, go with it. Show him that you appreciate how fun he is.

Play a sport. Hone your communication skills. Make industry connections. Look for a job in sports journalism or broadcasting.

Avoid walking alone as this may attract the bully. If there isn't anyone else around to walk with, take a path where there are a lot of people who will see if the bully tries to harass you. Most bullies won’t approach a group of people. They want to make you feel bad or get a reaction from you. With friends there to support you, they know you’re less likely to respond with the emotion they want.  Bullies are less likely to pick on you, if they think they’ll be the “odd man out.” Sticking with your friends will discourage them from bullying you. Tell your friends about the bullying, and ask them to stick up for you in case the bully does approach. Don’t put yourself in a situation where the bully will have an opportunity to verbally or physically attack you. Think about where you’ve come in contact with your bully in the past, and try to find alternate routes, shift your schedule, or change habits to avoid the bully. Don’t let your bully dramatically impact your day to day life, but if you can easily circumvent the places you run into them, doing so may be the easiest way to avoid conflict.  For instance, if you often run into the bully on your way home from a specific event, plan for an alternate route that won't take you past your bully. If you have to see your bully in a class, try to walk as far away from them as possible, and avoid sitting near them. If your bully frequents the same coffee shop or other public location, consider going at a different time of day. If they call you names, don't say anything in response. Most bullies are behaving in a harassing way to get a specific reaction from you. If you don’t respond at all, they are more likely to lose interest. Not responding may also make the bully angrier, so make sure to read their responses and leave possibly hostile situations. This may be easier said than done. In some cases, the bully will not want you to walk away, and will continue to follow and harass you. If the bully tries to physically attack you, it is especially important to walk away...

TL;DR in English: Stick with your friends. Avoid places where the bully hangs out. Ignore your bully. Walk away.

The platform shown in the illustrations is about 18 inches (45.7cm) wide and 24 inches (60cm) long, but you can modify the size easily to fit your needs. Then scribe a circle on them, and cut them out with a jigsaw or bandsaw. Drill a 1/2 inch (1.2cm) hole in the center of each for the mounting bolts (described later).

This side kick is similar to the normal side kick except there is a spin in it. The reverse side kick is especially useful for sparring or when someone is attacking you because you can do it while fading away from or moving into your target. This kick is also called a spinning side kick. You will start from your fighting stance where you have one foot in front and the other behind. Your back hand should be by your chin with your front hand 12-16 inches (30-40 cm) away from your front shoulder. Turn your front foot so that it is pointing behind you or away from your target. This means that you will turn your foot 180 degrees around. You will have to begin turning your hips at the same time as you turn your foot. Your head should follow the direction of rotation of your foot. This means you will be looking over the shoulder that is on the same side as your kicking foot. For example, if your front foot is your right foot then you turn your right foot so that it is pointed back and bring your head around counterclockwise. You will then be looking over your left shoulder at your target. This swing is similar to that of a normal side kick. Bring your back foot around and bend your knee as you rotate your body. Your knee should now be at your chest and there should be a straight line between your hip, heel and the target.  For example, if your kicking foot (back foot) is your left foot then you will continue rotating counterclockwise while bringing your left knee to your chest. There should then be a straight line between your left hip, left heel and the target. This is the “spin” of the spinning (or reverse) side kick. This side kick gains additional power from this spin due to the momentum. The smoother and faster your spin is, the stronger your kick will be. Straighten the knee to kick out and strike your target. You will usually want to hit at chest height but you can aim for other areas as well. You should strike with the blade (outside edge) of the foot or the heel. These areas will transmit the most power to...

TL;DR in English: Use the reverse side kick for power generation in competition or practice. Start from your fighting stance. Pre-pivot your front leg. Turn your head over your shoulder to look at your target. Swing your kicking leg to the front while bringing your kicking knee to your chest. Straighten your knee to strike your target. Bend your knee and land back on the ground.

If you have the opportunity, think about trying out for a sports team. Having a practical knowledge of the sports you’ll be reporting on can be a major plus. Becoming an athlete will give you a chance to work closely with other players, coaches, recruiters and journalists, and afford you a behind-the-scenes look into the workings of the industry.  If you’re not a student and don’t have the option of trying out for a school team, look into joining a community league in your area. Quite a few well-known sportscasters got their start as players rather than educated journalists. Start writing out your thoughts and analyses of sporting events for practice. A substantial amount of the expert opinions offered by sports analysts are written down in the form of blurbs, editorials and written interviews. You should also work on polishing your verbal skills and becoming comfortable talking to people to prepare for conducting interviews and appearing on radio or television.  A lot of writing goes into sports reporting, even if you’re working in broadcasting. The better you’re able to write, the better you’ll be at doing your job.  Devise a system for interviewing players, coaches and other personnel. Know how to make the best use of a short interview segment, and which questions to ask to receive the information you’re after. Attend sporting events regularly and meet as many industry professionals as you can. See if you can take up a minute of the coach’s time, or ask a sports reporter or even a camera technician how they broke into the business. Give your name to everyone you meet and let them know that you’re interested in getting started as a sportscaster. This way, they’ll remember you once it comes time to put your networking to use. Don’t be shy about asking for advice. Most sports reporters are very comfortable talking to people and will be happy to share the secrets of their success with you. When you feel prepared, start seeking out jobs in sports journalism. You may have to smart small initially, working for...

Pay attention to fear. Note when you become self-conscious in a social setting. Consider whether you avoid social settings. Think about how often you stay quiet during discussions.

Mix one teaspoon (5 ml) into ¼ cup (59 ml) of water. Apply one drop of the solution to a hidden spot on the fabric. Wait for one minute and then blot the spot dry with a white cloth. If the color does not bleed or fade, it should be safe to use bleach on it.  Choose a hem for shirts you tuck in and an inseam or spot around the waist on pants. It’s also smart to check the tags on clothes. There will be a warning if the clothes are sensitive to bleach. Remember when you add bleach to your laundry not to let the bleach come into direct contact with the laundry. To accomplish this, start the washer before you put any laundry into it. Let the basin fill at least halfway before you add detergent and bleach. Bleach does not wash clothes, so you still need to use detergent to clean your laundry. If your machine has a detergent compartment, measure out the detergent and add it. If the machine has no detergent compartment, pour it directly into the water. For small loads, use about ½ cup (118 ml) of bleach. If you have an extra large load, it’s okay to use closer to a full cup (237 ml) of bleach. Pour it into a bleach compartment or directly into the water. Washer sizes and load sizes vary, so you’ll have to adjust how much bleach you use. Let the washer finish filling with water so that the bleach mixes up and dilutes into the water. When the machine is almost full, put your load of laundry into the water. Make sure it goes all the way into the water rather than floating on top.

TL;DR in English: Test the colorfastness of non-white fabrics. Fill the washer with water. Pour your detergent into the washer. Add about ½-¾ cup (118-177 ml) of bleach for a standard size load. Push the laundry down into the water.

You don't have to wait around for the perfect chance to say something to your crush.  You could always ask a random person that you find cute for a stick of gum. Talking to people you're attracted to will improve your comfort level when talking to someone you really have a crush on. Being at home can be a hard time when you're heels deep in a crush's spell. Your parents can offer valuable advice because they went through what you're going through. If you're not comfortable talking to your folks about it then ask a cool uncle or a sibling you're open with. Sharing what you are going through help elevate pressure you feel when you're near your crush. Writing out your feelings and ideas can be a great therapy.  Whether you write memories, letters, or your personal thoughts, you are practicing an expressive process that strengthens your physiological growth and health. It is important to face your emotions by yourself.  It is a good time to reflect on how this crush is only a person.  Write whatever feels right. Don't concern yourself with typos or grammar, this is for you. If you have friends or a younger sibling around, you might consider keeping this in a private location. Staying after school for clubs or sports could be a great way of distancing yourself from your crush.  Playing sports will especially help by pushing yourself both mentally and physically.  Staying too stagnant will not help you act normally around a crush.  Think of exerting yourself as a way of releasing your frustrations. This is a good way of dealing with nervousness on a larger scope. Physical activity improves your mental state in your everyday life.

TL;DR in English: Practice talking to other people. Talk to a family member. Keep a journal. Do extracurricular activities.

Think about the circumstances that ended your relationship. Did you have a fight? Did one of you cheat? Why do you want to give things a second chance? Knowing exactly may help convince her to go out with you again.  Writing down your thoughts may help you determine what, exactly, you want to say. Don't try to have this kind of conversation over text or the phone, even if you've become close friends again. Invite her to dinner or for a walk in the park. Find a place that's quiet so you can be alone together. Mention specific activities you enjoyed doing together, and tell her you miss doing those things together. Be honest about your feelings and the qualities about her that you like and respect about her. You could say something like, "I really miss studying together -- you're so smart and always have interesting opinions about the material we're learning." If she was upset about your break-up, she may ask, "Why should we get back together? How will this time be different?" Point out things about yourself that have changed -- perhaps you feel more mature and ready for a relationship? Maybe you broke up because you were stressed with final papers and exams. For example, you might say something like "I was really overwhelmed by final exams and needed to be alone, but our time apart made me realize how much I miss having you in my life." Give her the chance now to say how she feels. If she was upset about your break-up, she may need more time to feel ready to trust you again. It's possible she no longer has feelings for you, or she wants to stay friends. She might also have a new crush, or a new boyfriend. Respect what she says. Try to stay calm if you don't get the answer you want. If she wants to get back together, great! Think of this as a fresh start to your relationship. That way, you'll avoid making the same mistakes you did the first time dated. If she says no or isn't sure, give her time. She still might change her mind, but needs time to process her feelings. It's okay to feel sad during this time....

TL;DR in English: Plan what you want to say in advance. Ask to see her alone. Explain that you still have feelings for her. Tell her why this time will be different. Let her talk. Accept her answer.

People are increasing using the internet to look for and advertise their services. It is possible to find many relatively minor tasks that you will be paid to complete. This could be anything from testing a website, to doing some data entry or transcription services. You can test websites online and earn around $10 a time.  Bear in mind that these kind of tasks will typically pay you just a few dollars, but the work is generally quick and easy to complete. There is a huge variety of these websites, and it's important you stay alert to potential scams. Investigate websites and look for ones that are trusted and well-regarded. Making money by completing online surveys is a well-known way to make easy money on the internet, but is not a way to make a lot of money quickly. If you just want to make a few dollars, then signing up and completing some surveys is an easy way to do it. To help you navigate your way through the vast number of online survey companies, look at some reliable independent information that compares and rates them.  You shouldn't expect to get more than a few dollars per 5-10 minute survey. Some survey sites might only pay you with vouchers, so be sure you know all the details before committing. However sometimes vouchers can be sold. There are a number of other ways to make money at home by using the internet, which can be more lucrative but will require significantly more work. Some of the options include freelance writing work and teaching English or tutoring online. These options are not really for those who want to make some quick cash, but are more relevant for those who are interested in being able to get regular income from working at home.  If you are interested in freelance writing, be aware that is highly competitive. You will often have to bid for work hosted on a website, and will be in competition with people from all over the world.  To make freelance work pay, you will need to be committed and put time into finding work.

TL;DR in English: Do small tasks advertised online. Try online surveys. Investigate work at home options.

Do you become filled with terror at the thought of being put on the spot at a social event? Are you afraid that people will judge you? This fear can come from being asked a personal question in front of others, or just being invited to a social gathering of any kind. If you have SAD, this fear would dominate your thoughts and causes you to feel panicked. For example, if you have SAD, you may feel a sense of terror when a friend asks you a question in front of people you don’t know. You may worry that people will judge you for what you say and be too afraid to say anything as a result. A common symptom of SAD is a feeling of self-consciousness that dictates how a person interacts with others. People with SAD are always afraid that they will embarrass themselves or get rejected in some way. If you feel extremely self-conscious when in a social setting, before a social interaction, or before a public talk, you may have SAD. For example, if you feel like you have nothing of value to say when you are discussing a subject that you are actually passionate about, you may have social anxiety. Instead of contributing your ideas and opinions, you may be obsessing over thoughts that the other people don’t like how you are dressed or that they don't think you are intelligent. A common trait of someone with SAD is avoiding instances where they may be forced to speak or interact in a social setting. If you go out of your way to avoid social interactions or having to speak in front of others, you may have social anxiety. For example, if you are invited to a party but you refuse to go because you are too nervous about hanging out with other people, you may have social anxiety. People with SAD generally fade to the back of discussions because they are too nervous about voicing their thoughts. They are afraid that what they say will displease others or warrant ridicule. If you often find yourself staying silent during conversations out of fear, this may indicate that you have SAD. For example, if you are in a discussion with...

Choose a bikini if you want a fun and flirty two-piece bathing suit. Try a one-piece or tankini for a more conservative style. Mix and match your bathing suit tops and bottoms for a versatile look.

The more comfortable you are talking to your parents about everyday stuff, the easier it will be to talk about difficult subjects. Having regular chats will also make it easier for you and your parents to understand each other. Instead of hiding in your room after coming home from school, take a few minutes to talk about how your day went.  For example, you could talk to them about something funny that happened in class, or tell them about what you’d like to do over the weekend. Ask your parents how they’re doing, too. Showing that you’re interested in them and willing to listen will encourage them to listen to you in return. You could say something like, “How’s that new gardening project coming along, Dad?” If you need to talk to your parents about something difficult, take time beforehand to think about exactly what you want to tell them. This will help you express yourself more clearly and feel more confident when it’s time to have the talk.  For example, if you made a mistake, you might plan to say something like, “I messed up today, and I feel really bad about it. I’m afraid you might be disappointed in me, but I really need to tell you what happened.” Think about what you want from your parents, too. They’ll have an easier time understanding you if you clearly express what you want to get out of the conversation. For example, you might say, “I don’t really want advice, Mom. I just need to get this off my chest.” Your parents will have an easier time listening to you and understanding what you’re trying to say if they’re not distracted or stressed out by other things. Try to choose a time to talk when you and your parents are both calm and unlikely to get interrupted.  If you’re not sure when would be a good time, don’t hesitate to ask! Say something like, “There’s something important I want to talk about. Is now a good time?” You can also make a plan with your parents ahead of time about when to talk. For example, you could say, “Is it okay if we talk for a few minutes after dinner tonight?” Your...

TL;DR in English: Make time to chat with your parents every day. Decide what you want to say before having a difficult talk. Pick a good time to talk about tricky subjects. Be direct and honest when you speak to your parents. Use “I” language to express your feelings. Listen Keep your tone and words respectful.

Although male carpenter bees are virtually harmless to humans, male bees will become aggressive when threatened or when threatening creatures enter their territory. Often, carpenter bees will hover closely around humans who near their nests in an attempt to scare them away.  Despite their belligerency, carpenter bees are extremely unlikely to injure humans due to the male's lack of a stinger.  Male bees are known to dive-bomb a perceived threat. Carpenter bees will return from hibernation in late April or early May, depending on the temperature. Males are the first to appear, as female carpenter bees spend most of the early months laying eggs and caring for larvae. Carpenter bees burrow in softwood and will rarely be found in living trees. Look for bees under wood areas that are not often disturbed (like beneath the porch stairs or on the entryway ceiling). Carpenter bees are not indigenous everywhere. This species prefers climates with warm summers. Homes in the southern states (from Arizona to Florida) and all eastern states are all at-risk for infestation.

Textiles that are very old, worn, or stained can be very useful for cleaning up around the house. Cut your textiles into 6 to 8 in (15 to 20 cm) squares, and use them instead of paper towels to clean counters and other surfaces. Textured fabrics, like terry cloth towels, can make good rags for washing dishes. If you’re the crafty type, you may want to save any old textiles with attractive patterns and reuse the parts that are in good condition. Keychains, handkerchiefs, and phone cases are all simple projects that can be made with fabric scraps. using pieces of old textiles. Quilting is a great way to use up fabric scraps of any size, especially if you have old items that have sentimental value. If you don’t have any experience quilting, consider taking a class and starting with a very simple pattern. This is a convenient use for any textiles that are too worn or stained to be presentable. You can put them in shallow cardboard boxes to create pet beds, or add them to the pet beds you already have for extra padding. If you have a sheet or tablecloth that is still in good condition but has a tear or stain that makes it unusable, cut out the damaged part and turn the rest into napkins. Cut 18 in × 18 in (46 cm × 46 cm) squares out of the sheet and make 1 in (2.5 cm) hems on the edges.  You can make a simple hem by folding each edge of the square back about 1 in (2.5 cm) and sewing it in place. This will keep the edges from fraying. It can be helpful to iron the fold so it stays in place while you sew it. Start by cutting the sleeves off, making each cut from the armpit to the collar. You should leave about 6 in (15 cm) of collar when you cut.  On the back side of the shirt cut a straight line across between the armpits. Fold the remaining piece of collar under about 1 in (2.5 cm), then sew it in place. The collar will now have a small hem that you can run a string or cord through, which you can tie around your neck to hold the shirt in place. If the hems or knees of your jeans have worn out, but they still fit...

Lavender appreciates slightly closed quarters, so dig a hole just large enough to contain the roots, and no larger. If you're planting lavender in a pot, you want to use a pot that's not much larger than the lavender's root ball. If you're planting more than one plant, leave one to two feet between each hole, since the plants will grow quite large. Sprinkle about half a cup of composted manure or bone meal into the hole to fertilize the lavender. This will help it get off to a good start. Mix it in with the soil at the bottom of the hole, then cover with a light layer of soil. If drainage is a concern, you can also mix in a handful of pebbles so the water drains through more easily. Prune off any dead or decaying parts of the plant so that it gets good air circulation and the plant's energy will be directed toward new healthy growth. Shake excess soil from the roots and remove any that are torn or damaged. Place the lavender in the hole so that the roots are nestled against the bottom and sides. They should not be directly touching the composted material; rather, make sure there's a layer of soil over the compost before you place the lavender in the hole. Fill in the hole with soil and pat it around the roots.

TL;DR in English: Dig a hole large enough for the roots. Place fertilizer in the hole. Prepare the lavender plant. Place it in the hole.

Regular physical activity is important for good health and longevity. Plus, engaging in exercise releases “feel-good” chemicals into the brain called endorphins, helping to lift your mood and clear your thinking. If you have a moment of alone time to spare, get your body moving. In addition to boosting your mood, exercise also enhances energy, fights disease, improves sleep quality, and helps you manage weight. Go for a walk/run with your dog. Hike through the local woods. Ride your bike to the farmer’s market on weekends. Sometimes, you may be so over-engaged with those around you that you do not allow yourself time to properly rest. Napping too late in the day can interfere with your nighttime rest, but as long as you time it right, your nap can provide much needed energy and restoration. Just keep your naps to a short period of time (say, 20-30 minutes) and several hours before you were planning to go to bed at night. When you’re not surrounded by family or friends, you may get a special opportunity to catch up on chores that need completing. If you are faced with long bouts of solitude, make a list of projects you have wanted to get done, and start moving through the list. This will make your periods of solitude productive and also help the time go by faster. Truth is, some people schedule activities and events for nearly every second of every day. This pursuit of “busyness” can make it seem as if you are being productive when, in reality, you are not. Some people believe downtime is a sign of weakness or not trying hard enough, so they aim to stay busy.  Be mindful that downtime can be incredibly positive when it is used for self-soothing and restoring activities. However, if you are using your downtime for mindless activities or distractions, you could be adding to your stress rather than relieving it. Assess the things you do during alone time and see if they have a positive benefit or are simply distractions until you are around others again.

TL;DR in English: Exercise in your free time. Take a nap. Complete chores and errands. Do nothing.

Select a bikini top with underwire if you want extra support, or go with a thin strappy set for a flirty, sexy choice. Pick your favorite style, color, and you’ll be ready for the beach! For instance, choose a hot pink bikini for a cute option, or go for a floral pattern for a summertime style. Tankinis are also a two-piece style, but they have a more modest top. One-piece bathing suits come in open-back, deep “V” necklines, and monokini options if you want a flirty touch. These bathing suits come in all sorts of patterns and colors, so choose one that catches your eye and suits your style.  Women’s bathing suit tops usually are sized by bust measurement, and bottoms often correspond to your pant size. A monokini is a one-piece style with an open back and cut-outs on the side. This is essentially a bikini that also covers your tummy. If you have a few pairs of bikinis or tankinis, consider swapping out certain tops and bottoms to customize your swimwear. This is a great way to change up your style and add a personal touch to your outfit.  For instance, if you have a royal blue bikini and a polka-dotted tankini, you can wear the polka dotted tankini top with the blue bottoms. If you are wearing a feminine style bathing suit, you can wear boardshorts in addition to your bathing suit bottoms. They can be more comfortable when walking around the boardwalk or taking a stroll down the shore.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you should give children two doses of MMR at different times to prevent measles from occuring. Give the first shot of MMR to children between 12-15 months of age, and the second shot between 4-6 years old. Kids need both doses to have the best immunity.  As long as the second dose is 28 days after the first dose, children can get the second dose earlier. The important thing is to give two shots at least 28 days apart. Children between the ages of 1-12 years can get the MMRV vaccine instead, which covers varicella (chickenpox) as well as measles, mumps, and rubella. Teens who attend college or another post-high school institution should be able to show evidence of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. If not, administer two doses of MMR at least 28 days apart.  ”Evidence of immunity” is when your patient can show written proof that they have been vaccinated, have had all three diseases, or have had blood tests done showing they are immune to all three diseases. Check your patient's medical records or try to consult with their previous doctor. Give one dose to adults who cannot demonstrate evidence of immunity. Adults born before 1957 do not need the vaccine, however.

TL;DR in English: Administer MMR to children at 12-15 months and 4-6 years of age. Ensure teens are up to date on their MMR vaccine. Vaccinate adults who are not immune.

The initial shock of the eight word induction will fade if not followed up with a script that takes him into a deeper state of hypnosis. For this, follow up in a calm tone with a couple of sentences asking the subject to fall into a deeper sleep.  The two best ways to deepen the hypnosis are described below: rocking the head and performing a countdown. Pick whichever you are most comfortable with; rocking the head will require some physical contact with the subject. If the subject is positioned so that he falls over into a slump after you pull away his hand, some hypnotists will begin to rock the subjects head with their hands to induce a more relaxed state. As you do that, you can tell him to let his neck relax and let that feeling of relaxation spread throughout his body. Tell him to let his mind and body relax until he falls into a deep sleep. Tell him, for example: "As I rock your head you will go deeper and deeper into a trance. The more I rock your head the deeper you go, the deeper you go the better you feel, the better you feel the deeper you go ... " Tell him that he will become more relaxed as you count down from 1 to 5. Every time you count down a number, describe to him how he is felling. “1, the relaxation is spreading through your body. 2, the relaxation is getting deeper. 3, your mind is becoming relaxed. 4, you no longer feel anything but the sense of relaxation. 5, your relaxation is getting deeper with every passing second.”  Alternatively try something like: “10, you feel yourself relaxing. 9, going deeper and deeper. 8, doing excellently, keep going. 7, with each number I say you will be in a deeper trance. 6, deeper, excellent. 5, farther and farther, relax completely now. 4, 3, you're doing well. 2, even farther away from the world. 1, 0. You are now in a deep trance.” Shortly before you try to awake him, tell him that it is almost time to “wake up” and “become more aware.” To make the transition peaceful, indicate how he will feel when he comes out of hypnosis.  Tell him that when he...

TL;DR in English: Be prepared to urge the subject into a deeper hypnosis. Rock the subject's head. Try a countdown. Begin priming your subject to wake. Wake the subject.

Once you've examined all elements, try to put it all together. As you do so, push yourself to scrutinize each aspect of your dream. This will help you meticulously consider the potential meanings.  For example, you remember an image from the dream. You are swimming in the ocean with your best friend when a large herd of seals approach. The seals surround you, and your friend is nowhere to be found. Start asking questions. What did the seals look like? What kind of seals were they? What do seals normally represent to you? What does the beach normally represent to you? How did you feel when the seals approached? Were you concerned about where your friend went? Try to figure out what the seals in your dream meant. After you've answered a variety of questions regarding the dream, think about what meaning these answers point towards.  Again, think about what seals mean to you traditionally. For example, seals were your favorite animal as a child. Your father used to take you to the zoo to see seals when you were very young. You can apply this meaning to the example above as you consider the other symbols in the scene. Your best friend is a friend from college, a time in life when you left your childhood behind. You rarely went to the beach as a child, as you lived in an urban area. You felt happy when the seals surrounded you, and were not particularly worried about where your friend was. Childhood images in this scene made you feel at peace. This dream could potentially represent a longing to return to childhood. Maybe you miss something about your youth. You need to return to your personal feelings in the present to see what the dream was trying to tell you. Remember, dreams can sometimes be a reflections of your current emotions. Again, think about what you've been going through lately.  Think about the feelings and thoughts you had in the dream. Have you had those same feelings and thoughts during real life recently? For example, maybe you felt the same sense of happiness earlier in the week when your brother...

TL;DR in English: Question each image in your dream. Figure out what the seals mean in your specific dream. Reflect on your feelings again. Apply the interpretation to your current situation.

Rinse the gooseberries in a colander under cool water. Gently pat them dry with a clean towel. Place the gooseberries into a pot. Cover them with a few inches/centimeters of water, then bring the water to a boil. Cook the gooseberries until they turn soft, about 2 minutes. The gooseberries are ready when they open up into segments when pressed. Place a colander into the sink, then pour the gooseberries into it. Gently shake the colander to dislodge any excess water, then allow the gooseberries to cool enough to handle. Gently press don on the gooseberries, on at a time, until they split open into segments. Scoop up the seeds that come out and discard them. If you want to, you can cut the gooseberries into smaller slices.

After cold winter weather ends, you can start assessing your Yellow and Mexican Bird of Paradise flowers to prune them. Pruning at this point will encourage new growth in the plant later in the season. Both Yellow and Mexican Bird of Paradise flowers should be pruned sparingly when flowers and stems begin to die. Strelitzia Bird of Paradise flowers don’t require as much pruning, but you can remove dead blooms and foliage in the springtime. Only remove the stems and leaves that have died and are brown. If the plant isn’t growing well throughout the year, prune at least half of the stems to the ground to allow the plant to grow healthy blooms. Once the weather turns warmer and there’s no more threat of frost, trim Red Bird of Paradise plants to 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) from the ground. Depending on the level of growth throughout the spring and summer, trim the flowers again in the middle of summer. Red Bird of Paradise flowers are very hardy and can handle heavy pruning two times per year if the plant is healthy.

TL;DR in English: Begin pruning Yellow and Mexican varieties in late winter and early spring. Prune Strelitzia variety blooms sparingly in the spring. Tend to Red varieties in the early spring and midsummer.

If you feel like you have tried everything on your own and need to talk to someone higher up, then it’s time to arrange a meeting with a supervisor to discuss the problems you’re having with your boss. There’s no point in delaying the inevitable if you feel like you really can’t work together with your boss. If you’ve tried everything and know that your relationship has reached a dead end, then it’s time to talk to your supervisor about the situation. Don’t be nervous, and stick to discussing the facts instead of getting emotional. The more concrete examples you have, the more respect you’ll get. Make sure you use professional language and avoid bad-mouthing your boss in front of your supervisor. You don’t want to say something that makes your supervisor lose respect for you, too. Remember that you want to look like the calm, reasonable one, and that your boss is the one who has been causing all the problems. If you truly feel that you’ve been discriminated against because of your age, race, gender, or something else beyond your control, then it may be time to take action. You can consult the EEOC for free, or seek out an employee attorney for a fee if you think you’ve been discriminated against and are in a protected class. Don’t be nervous about taking this measure if this is what’s happening; though it won’t be pleasant, this may be the best way to meet your needs. If you’ve witnessed fraud at your company and want to take action, remember that the False Claims Act requires you to first file your claim before you disclose it publicly. One option that isn’t as extreme as leaving your company but which can make you a lot happier at your workplace is to see if you can be transferred to a different department, or even transferred to a different boss.

This is usually easy. If you are a book publisher, then look on the manuscript or at the cover letter. It should state who owns copyright. Authors also reserve film and TV rights to their works, so if you want to turn a book into a movie or television show, then the owner of the copyright should own those rights. An author might already have been approached by a producer to turn a book in a movie. If so, the author might already have assigned those rights to someone. You can check with the U.S. Copyright Office.</ref>https://www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/how-to-option-the-film-rights-for-a-book/</ref>  You can search the U.S. Copyright Office online at http://www.copyright.gov/records/. Search for both pre-1978 and post-1978 records. You will be able to find more post-1978 records, but it’s important to search both time frames. If you see that the author has already assigned the rights to someone else, then you are out of luck. You should call the author to confirm that they own the rights and that the rights are available. There’s no point negotiating for the rights with someone if they are not available. If you are a producer, then you will need to find a telephone number. Look at the copyright registration. If you can’t find a phone number, then contact the book’s publisher.

TL;DR in English: Find out who owns the copyright. Check that copyright hasn’t been assigned. Call the author.

The glycemic index classifies foods that contain carbohydrates based on their impact to your blood sugar. The higher the food on the glycemic index, the higher its impact on your blood sugar levels. Insulin resistance occurs in your body when a normal amount of insulin released by your pancreas no longer has the appropriate impact on your blood sugar levels. Some scientists believe that eating too many refined carbohydrates and sugars will increase insulin resistance in the body. Known risk factors for insulin resistance are obesity and inactivity. Low-GI foods, like fruit, vegetables and skim milk raise your blood sugar in a slow and regulated way. These foods may also help to prevent insulin resistance. Sugary fruits like bananas and pineapple, along with sweet corn, dried fruit and some ice cream can cause some spikes in your blood sugar. White bread, white rice, potatoes and watermelon are examples of high-GI foods. These foods cause significant spikes in blood sugar. Diets like NutriSystem claim that insulin resistance makes people overweight. Most scientists agree that being overweight is the cause, not the outcome, of insulin resistance. However, many low-GI foods are also very healthy foods that can assist with weight loss efforts.

TL;DR in English: Define the glycemic index. Learn about insulin resistance. Understand how low-GI foods affect your blood sugar. Understand the effects of medium-GI foods. Know how high-GI foods affect blood sugar. Learn how blood sugar levels affect weight loss.

When unloading a loaded gun, you must handle it with special care to prevent injury or death.  Even if the safety mechanism is on and you think the gun may not be loaded, you must still treat it as though it were loaded Keep all fingers off of the trigger while unloading the gun. Your fingers must remain to the outside of the trigger guard throughout the entire process. You should also point the muzzle of the gun in a safe direction throughout the entire procedure. You will need to tilt the barrel and magazine tube at different angles at different points of the process, but regardless of the specifics, you should always make sure that the gun is not pointing at any living being or valuable property. Cycle the bolt to open the chamber. If there is a bullet sitting in the chamber, this action should cause the bullet to eject from the gun.  Even though this is a semi-automatic gun and not a bolt-action rifle, there is still a bolt that allows you to manually manipulate the chamber. The bolt on a Winchester Model 190 is a small knob located at the side of the chamber. When the chamber is closed, this bolt will face toward the front of the gun. When you pull the bolt toward the back of the gun, the chamber should open and the bullet inside should be ejected. Point the muzzle in a safe direction and look down into the chamber from the back of the gun. Verify that there are no other bullets inside the chamber or barrel of the gun.  You should approach the gun from the back as you look down into the chamber. Do not look into the chamber from the front of the firearm. If there are additional bullets in the chamber, you may need to tap the outside of the gun barrel to help free the trapped bullet. After freeing the bullet, you should be able to drop it out of the chamber opening. Pinch or unscrew the cap on the magazine tube follower to loosen it. Manipulate the cap in the same manner used when removing the follower during the loading process. Pull the follower cap forward. As you do this, the follower should glide out...

Put the berries in a strainer and hold it over the sink under the faucet. Turn on the cold water and rinse the strawberries off thoroughly to remove any dirt or grime. If your faucet has a spray nozzle, use this to give the berries a shower and cover more surface area at once. Hold a strawberry in 1 hand and pinch the green top leaves firmly between 2 fingers on your other hand. Gently twist and pull to remove the stem. The stems are edible, but they don't have a nice taste or texture, so removing them leaves you with just the tasty berry.  Don’t slice off the tops because it just wastes some of the tasty red fruit near the top. Make sure to wait until after you wash the strawberries and are ready to slice them to remove the tops.

TL;DR in English: Rinse the strawberries under cool water. Pick the green top stems off every strawberry.

As soon as you get out of the sun, take an over-the-counter (OTC) anti-inflammatory medication, such as Aspirin. Go ahead and ingest the highest recommended dose for at least the first 24 hours to kick-start the healing process. Keep taking the medication until the immediate discomfort from the burn has subsided.  No matter how much pain you feel, it is critical that you follow the dosage instructions for OTC or prescription pain medications. Taking more than the proper dosage can cause serious medical injuries, such as liver damage. Read the label carefully to determine how many pills to take and at what intervals. Make sure that you are also aware of any possible pain medication side effects or drug interactions. These are often also listed on the bottle’s label or you can contact your doctor with any questions. For example, people with bleeding issues are often advised to avoid consuming Aspirin. You can also get a small bowl, drop one or two aspirin tablets into it, and crush them into a paste (adding a little water, if needed). Then, apply this paste to the most burned areas. Wipe off after a few minutes. However, for health safety reasons, do not crush and use more pills than the recommended dosage on the bottle or apply this paste while also taking a pain medication orally. Pull out a soft cotton washcloth and dip it into cool, not cold, water. Wring it out slightly and then place it on your skin. Re-soak the cloth and repeat as necessary. You can also dip the cloth in whole cold milk. This will let you get the cooling benefits and the restorative effects of vitamin D. Run a bath for yourself using cool, not cold, water. Soak for a bit. For even more benefit, fill up a clean sock with 2 cups of uncooked oatmeal and tie it off at the end. Place the filled sock in the tub with you and squeeze it to release the juices. The oatmeal’s polysaccharides will coat and calm your skin.  You can also, of course, dump the raw oats directly into the tub with you, but expect more of a clean-up this way. Resist the...

TL;DR in English: Take pain medication. Apply a cool cloth to the area. Take a cool bath. Soothe with cucumber. Drink some tea. Avoid applying ice. Do not pick at the affected area. Consult with a doctor.

Most small canker sores heal on their own in a week or two. You may need medical help if you have multiple ulcers, very large ulcers, your pain is severe, your sores do not heal after three weeks or they spread, or you develop a fever. See your doctor or your dentist – there are many medications and treatments that can help. Your doctor or dentist can help you make sure your problem is actually a mouth ulcer, and not a tooth abscess or a rare form of oral cancer. You can get some pain medications over-the-counter, but others require a prescription. It’s best to ask your healthcare provider which medication is best for you to use. There are numerous pastes, creams, liquids, and gels on the market that can ease the pain and speed healing of mouth ulcers. Use a product containing one of the following ingredients:  Fluocinonide (Lidex, Vanos) Benzocaine (Anbesol, Kank-A, Zilactin-B, Orabase) Hydrogen peroxide (Orajel Antiseptic Mouth Sore Rinse, Peroxyl) If you have multiple ulcers, a mouth rinse may be easier than applying gel to each individual sore. Ask your doctor or dentist about getting a mouth rinse containing dexamethasone or lidocaine. These can both ease pain, and dexamethasone can also reduce inflammation. You may need oral medication if your ulcers don’t heal with other treatments. Talk to your doctor about your options, and let them know about your health history and any medications you take. Some medicines for other ailments can be used to treat stubborn mouth ulcers, such as sucralfate (Carafate) and colchicine. Your doctor may prescribe oral corticosteroids if you have severe ulcers that won’t heal. These can have many side effects and are usually a last resort. Alert your doctor if you're pregnant or breastfeeding or if you have an autoimmune disease; you might be better suited to another treatment. Your doctor may cauterize your ulcers with a chemical or instrument. This destroys the damaged tissue, and may relieve pain and speed healing. Ask your doctor or dentist if this option is right for...

TL;DR in English: See your doctor if the sores are large or extremely painful. Ask for topical pain medication. Request a medicated mouth rinse. Take prescribed medication if your sores won’t heal. Get your ulcers medically cauterized. Take a supplement to prevent recurrence.

Like many birds, the toes of budgies are covered in scaly skin. If you notice changes in your bird’s toe scales, however (abnormal color, size, shape, texture, etc.), this could indicate that your pet has scaly mites. Avimec/Scatt one drop on the skin on the back of the neck once a week for 2-3 weeks will kill the mites and eggs. A bird that is infected with a particular pest called air sac mites (Sternostoma tracheacolum) may have trouble breathing.  You might hear a clicking or wheezing sound when your budgie breathes if it has this problem. You may also notice your budgie’s tail flitting up and down, or that your bird breathes with its mouth open. These are also signs that the bird is having trouble breathing. Both ivermectin (Avimec/Scatt) and levamisole are effective against a variety of parasites, and are often prescribed to treat budgies infested with air sac mites. Unfortunately, the mortality rate for budgies afflicted with air sac mites is high, even with the availability of these medications.

TL;DR in English:


Try scrubbing with water and a rough sponge. Use a lemon juice and water solution. Use a paste made from white vinegar and baking soda. Use a paste made from hot water and borax.

Drinking water can actually prevent fluid building up around your eyes. One 8 ounce (230 g) glass before bed could help stop bags from appearing in the morning when you wake up. Puffy eyes often appear when you haven’t gotten enough sleep. To reduce eye bags as you rest, sleep on your back with your head propped up on a pillow. Keep your head elevated all night. Salt can cause your body to hold more water. This, in turn, can cause swelling or puffiness around your eyes. Reducing salt in your diet may be able to stop eye bags before they even start.  Cook your own food instead of eating out or buying prepared dishes. This will allow you to control exactly how much salt you add to your food. If you do order out, avoid adding extra salt to the dish. Avoid fried food, prepackaged snacks, canned soups, sauces, and processed meats like ham or bacon. These are all usually high in sodium. Look for low-sodium options when shopping, such as unsalted pretzels, low sodium soups, or sodium-free salad dressings. Smoke from cigarettes can irritate your eyes and cause swelling. If you smoke, now is the best time to quit. In addition to preventing eye bags, you’ll also improve your general health and reduce your risk of developing wrinkles. Talk to your doctor if you want to quit smoking. They may be able to give you a prescription to reduce cravings or help you create a plan to quit. An occasional drink or night out won’t hurt your skin in the long run, but too much drinking can cause dehydration. Dehydration can increase swelling and puffiness around the eyes. Aim to drink no more than 1 drink a day on average.  If you have a few drinks, drink plenty of water the next day to counteract the effects. Mixed drinks might also contain salt, which can make your eyes look puffy. Exercising can reduce swelling in your body and improve circulation, which will make your eyes look less puffy. If you’re not able to exercise regularly, try doing some yoga instead.

TL;DR in English: Drink a glass of water before you go to bed. Sleep for 7-8 hours a night with your head raised. Eat a low-sodium diet. Stop smoking. Reduce how much alcohol you drink. Exercise regularly.

This chemical is a mild bleaching agent and it is usually part of home first aid kits. Swish it around in your mouth for at least 30 second.  Ensure you don’t swallow hydrogen peroxide. This method should not be used with children. This method works fine with stains and also reduces the amount of bacteria, but you should not use this treatment for more than four weeks in a row. If you have any concerns about tooth or gum sensitivity, be sure to buy toothpaste for sensitive teeth. Use the whitening toothpaste for six weeks. Prolonged use of whitening toothpaste can erode tooth enamel, causing the yellow dentin to be exposed and colored food will stain your teeth faster than before. Apply them to your teeth for at least a week. The results can last up to a year. These kits can cost $30 to $200, but they are so powerful, they can even lighten your natural tooth color in addition to removing stains. Avoid using too many tooth-whitening kits, as they can also damage tooth enamel with long-term use. Also, consult with a dentist before you start the treatment. These treatments usually involve several appointments and can cost as much as $1,000. They will remove stains and they can make your teeth several shades whiter than your natural color.

TL;DR in English: Rinse your mouth several times per week with hydrogen peroxide. Purchase whitening toothpaste. Try home whitening strips to bleach your teeth. Invest in a tooth-whitening kit with carbamide peroxide. Purchase and schedule dental whitening.

Find a high object in front of you, just above your normal eye level. That is your goal to jump to. Think to yourself that you're going to jump in line with this object. Before you get into the jump (starting with the next step) and when you're ready, count off 5-6-7-8. The prep starts on 1. Your arms should be bent at the elbows, held to your chest. Hold this same position on 2. Your arms should look almost as if they're in prayer position, but your head should remain level and your hands should be clasped together halfway between a clap and a fist.

TL;DR in English: Start with both feet together. On 1, put your arms in front of you in a clasp.

If your water contains a lot of minerals, especially calcium, you can remedy the unpleasant taste by boiling the water before drinking. Fill a clean pot or kettle with water and place it on a stove burner set to high. Allow the water to boil for a few minutes. If you aren't sure if your water is hard, or if you want more specific information about the  minerals in your water, test it with water hardness testing strips. You can pick up testing strips at your local hardware store. Turn the heat off and allow the water to cool completely. You’ll likely see white sediment gather on the bottom of the pot or kettle. This sediment is made up of insoluble minerals, which can't be boiled away. Use a baster, siphon, or ladle to transfer the water to a clean container.  Although it's not harmful, try to avoid as much sediment as you can during the transfer.  Letting the sediment settle on the bottom first allows you to easily remove the clear water while leaving most of the sediment behind. Boiling water can cause it to taste flat. Pouring it back and forth between 2 clean containers for a few minutes will restore oxygen to the water, improving its taste. If you drink water straight from the tap often, boiling it every time may become a nuisance. Instead, try using a drinking water filter to purify your water before drinking it. Some filters attach directly to faucets, while others act as filters for pitchers. Water treated with a filter often has a better taste.  These filters can be bought at most grocery stores and general retailers. Look for systems that have a secondary filter, like one made from carbon or that uses reverse osmosis, to ensure contaminants are being removed from your water.

TL;DR in English: Boil away impurities. Transfer the clean water to a container. Pour the boiled water back and forth between 2 containers. Remove impurities with a drinking water filter.

This method is probably one of the easiest to follow.  Simply increasing the intake of water throughout your day will help prevent bad breath.  While it may not fully counteract the smell of smoking, it will help reduce mouth odor in general. Drinking more water prevents dry mouth, which can cause bad breath. Pay careful attention that you are getting enough water throughout the day.  The recommend eight glasses a day is a good guideline, however, your best gauge will be how thirsty you feel.  Increase water intake before exercise or if in a hot environment. Pay attention to thirst.  If you feel thirsty, don't ignore it, drink water. Drink only water.  Avoid any sugary drinks as these can make your breath worse. Fruits and vegetables can also hydrate your body. Buy a good thermos or water bottle to carry with you.  Making sure that you have water with you, even when you aren't near a water source, will make it easier to stay hydrated.  Keep track of how many times you fill up and drink your water bottle. Learn what volume of water your bottle holds to track the exact amount of water intake.

TL;DR in English: Learn how water intake effects your breath. Monitor your water intake. Make drinking water easier for yourself.

If you do not have aggressive stains, or the stains are relatively new, you may be able to remove soap buildup that has become stained with a rough sponge, water, and vigorous scrubbing. Do not scrub so hard that you damage the finishing of your shower or tub, as this will create a texture that is harder to clean. Squeeze the juice of a lemon into a spray bottle, and fill the rest of the spray bottle with water. Spray the solution onto your stains, and let it stay for 10 minutes before wiping it down. Repeat as necessary. Dry the stain, then spread the mixture over it and allow it to sit for 15 minutes before scrubbing lightly with a cloth. Dry the area well. Borax, a mineral and salt that comes from boric acid, is available in powder form at hardware and grocery stores, as well as online. Create a paste with 1 tablespoon of borax and two cups of hot water. Apply to the stain and let it sit overnight before rubbing it off with a cloth.

Cut a piece of paper into an 8 inch (20.3 cm) by  12 inch (30.5 cm) rectangle. Orient your paper landscape style. Attach a cracker snap to the top of the paper. Lay a strip of double-sided tape along the top edge of your paper. Use a strip of double sided tape to attach an empty toilet paper tube to the bottom center of your paper. Make the cracker body. Tie one of the end of the Christmas cracker shut.

Copper tubing used for plumbing piping is available sized nominally, meaning that the outside diameter of the tubing is 1/8" (0.125 inches) larger than its stated size. In other words, 1" nominal copper tubing measures 1.125" inches in diameter. If you need to cut the pipe for your project, make sure that you use a tube cutter, clamping the pipe firmly and rotating the cutter around the pipe. It should take about 8 turns. Most nominally-sized copper tubing is available in four weights, or wall thicknesses, which is color-coded. Typically, though, residential projects will involve copper tubing of either Type L or M. Type L tubing is marked with a blue tag and is typically the most commonly used in commercial/residential installations. Type M is marked red and has the lightest wall that can be used for a pressurized system. Depending on your project, you'll probably need some combination of the following:  Male/Female adapters, which are used to join a solder pipe to a threaded pipe. Reducing adapters, which are used to go from a larger size pipe to a smaller size. Elbow joints, which are used to turn corners, typically 90 degree bends, but also available in 45 degree bends. Tees and crosses, which are used to join a branch tubing to the main tubing, using a tee, or two branches in the case of a "cross." For potable water systems, lead-free solid core solder must be used.  It is typically 95/5 (95% tin and 5% antimony), or an alloy of tin and a small amount of copper and/or silver, commonly sold in one pound rolls of 1/8" diameter wire. Solder with lead must not be used for potable water systems. This is typically a jelly with a zinc chloride or rosin cleaning component used to cover the cleaned surfaces of the copper to be soldered before assembly and heating. It is the function of the flux, upon heating, to facilitate further cleaning, exclude atmospheric oxygen, prevent re-oxidation, and to aide in wetting out the solder. Typically, a traditional electric soldering iron won't be hot enough to work with...

TL;DR in English: Get copper tubing of appropriate diameter. Make sure the tubing is of the proper wall thickness for your project. Get the proper connectors and joints for the system you are building. Select solder. Obtain the appropriate solder flux. Get a heat source.

Use a garden trowel to dig a small hole just deep enough to cover the roots. The crown should remain level with the surface of the soil to get enough air and avoid too much moisture.  Your daisies should have 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) of space between them to allow for proper growth, so keep this mind when you are replanting them.  Place a new daisy section into the hole and recover it with soil. Use your hands to press the soil down firmly around the base of the plant to hold it in place. The pot should be at least 5 inches (13 cm) in diameter. Choose a pot that is well-draining to help avoid excessive moisture and root rot. If possible, use a high-quality potting mix to ensure your plant has the proper level of nutrients and encourage growth. Dig a small hole in the pot that is just large enough to cover the roots. Place the new daisy section into the hole and recover it with soil. Press down firmly on the soil to hold the plant in place. After the first few weeks, the potted daisies can be moved into the full sun as long as the temperature doesn’t get much higher than 75 °F (24 °C). For hotter temperatures, it’s best to keep the daisies in areas of partial shade and/or indirect sunlight. The soil should remain moist, but not soggy. The best way to know how often to water your daisies is to check your soil and plants regularly. If the soil looks or feels dry, or if the flowers or leaves are beginning to wilt, it’s time to water. If the soil is still moist, check again the following day.  Cut back on watering after the plants begin to grow. At this point, allow the soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot from excessive moisture. A deep watering once per week should be enough.

TL;DR in English: Dig a small hole in the ground to replant the daisies in your garden. Plant the daisies in potted soil if you want to keep it indoors or on a patio. Store potted daisies in a partially shaded area for 2-3 weeks. Water your plants every 3-5 days until the daisies are reestablished.

Being bubbly means developing a positive outlook to find the best in other people while lifting their spirits with your attitude.  Rephrase negative thoughts as positive ones. For example, instead of thinking "I'm so worried about finishing this essay," think "I'm so excited to write a great essay." Find the positive things in life. For example, instead of feeling gloomy about a rainy day, situations, appreciate the soothing sound of the rain instead.  Congratulate yourself on your accomplishments and strengths. Be kind to yourself, develop a sense of pride, and don't compare yourself to others. No one wants to act bubbly and outgoing when they're stressed out. If you're ever feeling nervous or anxious, take a minute to focus on your surroundings, take a series of deep breaths, give yourself some positive affirmations, and go back into the social situation when you feel ready. Other ways to alleviate stress include meditating and grounding. A healthy get-up-and-go attitude is a must if you want to have the energy to be bubbly and talkative.  Exercise 20 minutes or more a day. Try activities that keep your energy up without taxing your heart such as yoga, pilates, and light jogging.  Get at least seven hours of sleep, preferably eight to nine if you can. Make a routine out of your bedtime so getting adequate sleep becomes a habit. Eat a balanced diet high in protein, energy-supporting minerals such as manganese, and omega-3 fatty acids. Add some almonds, salmon, beans, and spinach to your diet.

TL;DR in English: Keep a positive worldview. Know how to alleviate stress. Stay energetic!

This style of stockings, also known as “hold-ups” in the UK, use elastic, nylon, silicone, and Lycra in the top band to grip your thighs and stay up on their own. This style is a great choice if you'll be wearing your stockings under a fitted dress or skirt. Look for a brand that features elastic and other gripping features, like silicone, to ensure a tight fit. Read the sizing guide for your stockings, too. It's important that you get the right fit, since stay-up stockings that are too big will slip down. A garter belt is a lingerie accessory, often made of lace, that fits around your waist. It has straps that hang down and clip onto your stockings to help hold them up. A garter belt can be a subtle, sexy addition to your outfit, but could also be visible under tighter clothes. Wear it under a looser fitting dress or skirt to make sure it stays invisible. For a more elaborate, sexy look, try attaching your stockings to a corset or suspenders. Stockings with bands 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) wide won't dig into your thighs and will create a smooth look. Look for a pair with thicker, darker fabric at the tops of the stockings, or lace detailing for a pretty touch. Go for sheer styles, in colors like black or nude, for a great everyday look. Stockings in these colors will look exactly like tights or pantyhose, especially with the wide band at the top covered by your clothes. You could also try colors like brown or gray. Fishnet or lacy stockings are great for a night out or as a seductive lingerie accessory. Make sure you get a pair that fits you well, as a pair that's too small could cause the pattern to cut into your legs and be uncomfortable. If you want your lace or fishnet stockings to blend in more, go for black. For stockings that really stand out, try brighter colors like red or pink. Look for colors like grey, black, cream, or dark red to pair with a cozy winter outfit. Try comfortable fabrics like wool and cotton, and don't worry if they bag a little around your legs. This look isn't meant to be as...

TL;DR in English: Go for stay-up stockings for a smoother, simpler fit. Wear stockings with a garter belt for an extra sexy accessory. Look for stockings with wide bands for a smooth look on your thighs. Choose a neutral color for a work-appropriate look. Try lace or fishnets for a sexy look. Go for woven socks if you want a cozy, warm style.

Even if you’re spending time with the boy who you want to ask you to the dance, he might still not know what you’re interested in going to the dance at all. Bring it up in casual conversation while you’re talking about something else. This way, he knows that you know that the dance is happening and that you want to go. For example, if you’re talking about things happening at school, you could say something like “Oh, did you hear about the dance that’s happening in a couple of weeks? Do you know how much tickets are?” This way, he knows that you know that the dance is happening, but he also knows that you’re interested in going since you’re asking about the price of tickets. It might never have occurred to the boy who you want to go to the dance with that he should go. If this is true, he’s not going to ask anyone to the dance, much less you. So ask him if he’s interested in going. You can have this conversation at the same time that you bring the dance up in conversation or you can ask him a few days later. For example, if you're already talking about the dance you could say something like “So you’ve heard about the dance? Have you decided if you’re going?” If it’s a few days after you brought up the dance for the first time you could say something like "So have you thought any more about the dance? Have you decided if you're going?" Some boys might be embarrassed to ask you to go to the dance with them because they’re afraid that asking you makes it obvious that they want to go. If you tell him ahead of time that you’ve been imagining going to the dance with him, he’ll know that you want to go with him, and might feel more comfortable asking you out. For example, you could say something like “So I know we kind of talked about the dance a few days ago, and since then I’ve really been thinking about how much fun it would be to go with you. Have you thought about who you want to go with?” This way he knows that you want him to ask you. Once you’ve brought up the dance and told him you want to go with him, give...

TL;DR in English: Mention the dance in conversation. Ask him if he’s going. Tell him you’ve been imagining going with him. Give him some space. Don't panic if he doesn't ask. Ask him yourself.

You can use gift wrap, construction paper, butcher paper, scrapbooking paper, or even tissue paper.   Hide the contents if you use tissue paper. Stack 2 to 3 sheets so the contents will stay invisible. The paper does not have to be Christmas themed. It can be winter themed instead. Blue, white, and silver stripes are perfect for a Winter Wonderland party. You can use a summer theme if December is a summer month where you live. Match the paper to your table settings. Your table will be more festive if the crackers match the napkins, plates, candles, decorations, etc. Start with one of the long edges facing you. If your paper has one side patterned and blank on the other (such as scrapbooking paper or gift wrap), make sure that the blank side faces up. This will make your Christmas cracker pop like store bought ones. Place a long strip of double-sided tape at 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the top edge of the paper, . Press the cracker snap onto the tape. Make sure that it is centered. Both ends of the cracker snap need to be taped down. Many craft and dollar stores sell cracker snaps during the holiday season. You can also find them available online. Make sure that the tape goes from edge-to-edge to seal your Christmas cracker shut. If you added a cracker snap, the tape will be just above it. You should have about 4 inch (10.2 cm) on either side of the toilet paper tube. If you can't find any toilet paper tubes, cut an empty paper towel tube in half. You can also get an empty gift wrap tube, and cut 4 inch (10.2 cm)) segments. Roll the toilet paper tube as evenly and as tightly as you can towards the top of the paper to keep the paper smooth. When you get to the top edge, run your finger along the tape to seal it. Get as close to the toilet paper tube as possible. (See the Tips section)  Do not tie the other end shut yet. You can use anything to tie the cracker shut. Choose something that matches your paper or your theme for pizzaz. For example:  For something fancy or elegant, use a piece of satin, sheer, or curling...
