Familiarize yourself with some common parasites. Know the symptoms. Understand the risk factors. Schedule an appointment with your doctor. Follow up with your doctor.

Canaries are active birds that enjoy flying around in their cages. If your canary has stopped flying or if they are spending long periods of time on their perch, you may want to take them to a vet. A sick canary may tuck their head under their wings or sleep near their food bowl. A healthy canary should be chirping or singing. A sick canary may be quiet, or they may make wheezing, sneezing, clicking, or coughing noises. Pay attention to their breathing as well. Rapid or labored breathing can be a sign of canary pox or the fungal infection Aspergillosis. Typically, canaries should eat between one and two teaspoons of seed or pellets a day. They should not need their water replaced more than once a day.  If you notice any changes in their appetite, the bird may be ill.  If you find their water dish empty or if they are drinking more than usual, they may be dehydrated. If your bird isn't eating their food, they may have lost their appetite. This is a common symptom of many illnesses. Canaries normally puff up their feathers when they are sleeping or if they are cold. If they are not sleeping, however, and they remain puffed up for long periods of time, it may mean that your canary is unwell. When you change the cage liner every day, check their droppings. Healthy droppings should have clear and watery urine, chalky white urates, and dark, solid feces. Any change in color or consistency means that something may be wrong.  Yellow or green coloration can be a symptom of liver disease. Red or black coloration can be a sign of internal bleeding. Loose or runny feces can indicate that your canary has diarrhea. Healthy droppings should not smell. If you notice a foul odor, it may mean that they have a parasite called giardia. You also might find some discharge and swelling around their nares. Discharge due to sneezing is often a clear sign that your canary has an illness.

TL;DR in English: Note any decrease in activity. Listen to the sounds that they make. Observe how much they eat and drink. Watch for puffed up feathers. Inspect their droppings. Check their cage for discharge due to sneezing.

Directors pay just as much attention to you off stage as they do on stage. Avoid talking to others and pay attention to other performers who are up on stage. Even if other performers sing other songs, watching them can help give you insight on how to perform better as a singer yourself! Don't forget to turn off - or silence - your phone. A director will not just analyze your singing ability during an audition; they will analyze who you are as a person. This may be a little intimidating, but standing up straight, planting your feet, and keeping your hands steady can be enough to display confidence.  If you are feeling really nervous, a deep breathing exercise before your performance can help ground you and relax your muscles. Another way to relax is by practicing mindfulness. Some nerves are a matter of thinking too much about what can and can't happen. Stopping to recognize and simplify the moment you're in can help calm your thoughts. Making one mistake in the middle of your song does not mean you lost your chance! In fact, showing you can recover from a mistake is a chance to show your professionalism as an actor.Don't look annoyed or complain if the pianist makes a mistake playing the notes of your song. Not only is this rude to the pianist, it signals to the director that you may be difficult to work with. Some musical auditions may require you to act out a scene. Auditions that do require acting may not tell you until you are on the spot, so it is better to mentally prepare for one rather than not.  Don't worry about stumbling over lines, especially if the musical is original and no one has seen the script before. Instead, focus on listening on what your scene partner is saying and understanding what the scene is about.  If the audition is for an original musical, try requesting a copy of the script from the theater hosting the musical (not the audition) in advance.

TL;DR in English: Act respectfully towards other performers before and after your performance. When singing on stage, display confident body language. Don't stop singing if you make a mistake. Expect an impromptu request to act out a scene during the audition.

During this time, the dye will still be oxidizing and settling into your hair. Washing too soon can sometimes lift the color right off the hair, which you definitely want to avoid!  This may mean skipping a workout or two in order to avoid the need to wash your hair. You can also wear a shower cap to keep your hair dry in the shower. Since washing can cause color fading, only wash every other day at most. You may even want to give your hair 3-4 days between washes, since it will likely be more dry after dyeing. If your strands get greasy between washes, try using a dry shampoo. These gentle, specially formulated products will help your color last longer and keep your hair healthy. Look for ingredients that will  moisturize and help remove product buildup without stripping color, such as keratin, natural plant oils, and minerals. Since your hair will be more vulnerable to damage after the chemical treatment, you’ll want to use as little heat on it as possible. This includes styling tools such as curling irons, straightening irons, and blow dryers.  If you have to use hot tools, make sure to spray on a heat protectant product first and use either the lowest heat or cool blast setting. You should especially avoid using hot styling tools in conjunction with heavy styling products, such as gels, volumizers, hairsprays, and mousses. If your locks are still feeling brittle or dry, use a deep conditioning treatment or mask once a week. Work the product through your hair, concentrating on the tips, then run a wide-tooth comb through the strands to make sure it’s evenly distributed. Leave the mask on for 20 minutes (or as long as the product directs), then rinse well.  Look for a moisturizing mask that’s specifically formulated for colored hair. This is especially important if your hairstyling requires heat tools.

TL;DR in English: Avoid washing your hair for the first 48 hours after dyeing your hair. Wash your hair every other day or less. Use color-protecting shampoo and conditioner to wash your hair. Avoid using hot styling tools while your hair is still fragile. Deep-condition your hair once a week to keep it moisturized.

There are various species of intestinal parasites, but only two main types: helminths and protozoa.  Helminths have many cells and are more commonly known as worms. Some of the most prevalent helminths are tapeworms, pinworms, and roundworms. Protozoa only have one cell, and unlike helminths, they can multiply inside the human body. The most common protozoa include giardia and cryptosporidium. The exact set of symptoms can vary depending on the parasite you have, and you may have a parasite inside you for years before any symptoms manifest.  Even so, there are some symptoms that the majority of infected people do experience. These include abdominal pain, diarrhea, dysentery, nausea, vomiting, bloating, itching around the rectum, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. When you're infected with a helminth parasite, you may see parts of the worm in your stool. Since many of the most common symptoms appear alongside other health conditions, too, you should also assess your risk factors when determining if parasites might be the root cause of your problems.  If you live in or visit an area known to have parasites, your risk of becoming infected will dramatically increase. This is especially true if you embark on international travel to countries with poor sanitation. Poor sanitation and poor hygiene, in general, are risk factors for developing parasites. Those with weaker immune systems are more likely to become infected. This includes children and the elderly, as well as anyone with a prior health condition that weakens the immune system, such as HIV. If you think you have an intestinal parasite, make an appointment with your health care provider regardless.  You must do this first, even if you wish to get rid of the parasite with home remedies. Your doctor will test for parasites using a standard set of tests.  Most typically, the doctor will wish to collect a stool sample for examination. When testing for pinworms, the doctor may press a piece of tape against the anus for examination with a microscope. If you...

Apply the spray to your socks, ankles and the cuffs of your pants every single day to prevent flea bites.  If you've treated your pet, the fleas will be killed on contact with its blood. However, you haven't been treated with flea preventative, so your blood will still make a tasty snack. Fleas only need a single blood meal to lay more eggs, so you want to deny them their food. After 30 days, you can probably stop worrying about applying the DEET mosquito repellent to your ankles. If you no longer see fleas jumping around, then you are definitely safe. However, if you still see visible fleas or have bites on your ankles, then continue spraying with mosquito spray. This cleaning should include carpeted surfaces as well as smooth surfaces.  Vacuum all carpets, rugs, and upholstery. Place one entire complete flea collar (chopped up) in the vacuum bag. Vacuuming not only sucks up fleas, eggs and larvae, but the vibrations from the vacuum cleaner also cause fleas to hatch from their cocoons. Since insecticides can't kill fleas in the pupa stage, getting as many of them to emerge as possible gives you a great chance of killing more fleas. Throw the vacuum bag away in an exterior garbage container after you're done. Follow this up with turning the vacuum over and spraying the roller head with a spray lysing agent Mop smooth floors. Use a cleaning agent like Pine-Sol or undiluted apple cider vinegar to cause the fleas to emerge from holes and cracks so that they are more exposed when you spray or fog your house. Read the instructions and make sure you have enough to completely bomb your entire square footage of every room. You need to make sure that the product kills flea eggs, so look for one of these active ingredients: methoprene, fenoxycarb or pyriproxyfen.  Spray your carpets, rugs, furniture, baseboards, along walls and on your pet's bedding. Make sure to follow the directions on the can. Don't miss door edges, corners, floors with cracks and underneath furniture and furniture cushions. Flea larvae love to hide...

TL;DR in English: Use mosquito spray containing DEET. Clean your floors thoroughly. Carefully use a flea control spray or fogger. Treat your yard if your pet spends more than five percent of its time outdoors. Spray your house again two weeks after the first treatment.

Neck tilts are a good way to start your neck stretching routine, as they will help to lengthen the larger muscles in your neck and relax your whole body. Lengthening and stretching the small muscles in your neck can also prevent tension headaches.  Sit in a comfortable cross-legged position on an exercise mat or a soft surface. You can use props like a yoga block or a pillow and sit on them to make the seated position more comfortable. Inhale and tilt your head to the right side. Extend and elongate your neck towards the space to your right, rather than try to bring your ear to your shoulder. You should feel a stretch on your left shoulder and the left side of your neck. Hold this position for three breaths. As you exhale, raise your neck and look forward. Then, inhale as you tilt your head to the left side. Hold this position for three breaths. You can repeat this exercise two to three times on each side. You can also add some resistance by placing your hand against your head and gently applying pressure to your head as you tilt your head to one side. If you are tilting your head to the right side, for example, you would use your left hand to apply light pressure on the left side of your head. Do not pull or tug on your neck and only apply light, gentle pressure on your head. Open up your neck muscles with simple but effective chin to chest stretches.  Sit in a comfortable cross legged position with any props like a pillow or a block to help tip your pelvis forward. Inhale and slowly lower your chin towards your chest. Imagine you are holding an egg between your chin and chest and you do not want to drop it. Hold this stretch for two to three breaths. You should feel your neck muscles and your shoulder muscles lengthening. Inhale as you lift your head and return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise two to three times, holding for two to three breathes at a time. This simple standing stretch will get your torso and arms moving and help to release any tension in your neck and shoulders.  Begin in a...

TL;DR in English: Start with seated neck tilts. Do chin to chest stretches. Try swinging arm stretch. Do a forward fold with a chest opening. Use a wall to do a standing neck stretch. Do cobra pose to stretch and strengthen your neck muscles. Try shoulder shrugs.

Female quails only begin laying eggs once they have reached maturity, which takes a few months. The egg production is normally the highest during the first year of laying and then it declines as the quails age. Domestic quails have a life expectancy of up to 4 years. Both the transportation process and being introduced to a new flock can be stressful experiences for quails. Let them settle into their new surroundings first and they should start laying shortly after. 2-6 weeks is a general guide for how long most quails take to begin laying in a new environment. Some quails will start laying much earlier. You do not need to include a male in the flock for the females to produce eggs, as females will lay regardless of if a male is present. The eggs will be unfertilized which means that they are suitable for consumption. A group of 1 male and up to 5 females is ideal if you are wanting to breed quails. Males are often more aggressive than females. It’s best just to have 1 male bird per group, as otherwise, the males may fight. It’s easy to tell the males and females apart. Males display more aggressive behavior and have brighter feathers on the head, neck, and back. Females tend to be docile and have a more plain coloring.

TL;DR in English: Get 8-12 week old female quails as they are able to produce eggs. Give new quails 2-6 weeks to settle in before they are expected to lay eggs. Keep a group of females together if you want eggs for consumption. Place 1 male in the flock if you want the quails to breed.

Throughout your day-to-day living, you should have a "to-buy" list tacked someplace central in your home. If you notice you're out of, or running low on something you'll need, make a note of it on the list. Done in this way, you won't have to stress out about remembering all the things you need to buy. Giving yourself the maximum amount of time to plan will give you the highest chance of remembering everything you need. A fridge or bulletin board is a great place to keep it. Improvising your list once you're out shopping will result in hasty buys and unhealthy choices. You should have a well-thought out list before you head out the door. Check the pantry and check what's running low. While keeping a running tally of grocery purchases will help you figure out the less obvious things, you can cover a lot of your bases by taking a quick stock of your inventory. Recipes often require several ingredients. It's a good idea to review your planned recipes thoroughly before heading off to the supermarket. Before you sit down to compile your list, you should take a second to think about how often you go to the supermarket. The frequency of shopping trips may depend on your location, as well as your mode of transport. For some people, going to the supermarket can mean a big time investment. If your trips are infrequent, it's all the more important to come prepared with a list. On the other hand, if you're going multiple times a week, it won't usually be an issue if you forget an item or two. Unless you live right next door to a supermarket, you should nonetheless see how much mileage you can get out of each trip. Try to minimize one-item trips, as they're big time wasters. It's better to get everything you need at once. If you already have grocery trips as part of your regular routine, you probably schedule your trips based on how often certain items run out of supply at home. Having some idea beforehand of when a certain item will be used up can help you plan your trips more wisely. If you're smart, you'll never run...

TL;DR in English: Keep a running "to-buy" list. Figure out everything you need beforehand. Consider the frequency of your shopping trips. Predict when you'll run out of certain supplies. Look up coupons and specials. Look at pre-made grocery lists for ideas.

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

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

As you are writing each section of the manual, people using the manual will be trying to take in a lot of information. When you purposefully include blank spaces for writing notes, you encourage the users to jot down what they are learning. This will increase the amount of information that they retain. Notes sections would be good alongside most sections of text, but you could also make a separate notes section at the end of chapters and the end of the whole manual. This helps people avoid having separate notebooks that they might lose track of. Any time you can show the reader something visual, it can have an impact on how much they understand. You don't want to clutter your manual with too much, but use visuals if you can. You can have screenshots of steps in computer work. You can include charts of important data. Pictures of tools or machinery the person will use are good, too. There really is no limit to what types of visual aids you could include, so think about what you are training for and what would be most helpful for the user to see. For many manuals, you'll be detailing the steps of various processes, and checklists are a great way to sum things up. When a user needs to refer back to a section that includes specific steps, the checklist will refresh their memory and can be checked much more quickly than multiple paragraphs of text.  It might even be useful to make these pages easy to tear out so users could keep the checklist handy at later times when they are working on tasks. Checklists could include materials needed, sections for before, during, and after completing a task, or how to evaluate work once it is done. You want to ensure that users of your manual are learning as they go, so write up small tests of their knowledge. Include the answers in a separate spot so they can check how they did. You could have multiple choice questions, fill in the blank and matching, or scenarios for problem solving. These would be separate from any official testing you would have employees take after training...

Crush aluminum foil into homemade "dryer balls" in order to reduce static cling when you tumble-dry your clothes. Compress the foil into two or three balls, each about two inches in diameter. Make sure that each ball is tight and smoothly-pressed so that it won't snag on the garments in the dryer. This can be a cheap and chemical-free alternative to commercial dryer sheets.  You can continue to use the same dryer balls for months. When the balls start to come apart, replace them with freshly-crumpled foil. Be aware that the aluminum dryer ball will not soften your clothing like a commercial dryer sheet. Furthermore, it might make your dryer a bit noisier. Consider whether these downsides are worth the cost-effectiveness. A standard ironing board is designed to absorb heat and moisture. Aluminum foil will trap heat and moisture around your clothing, which should speed up the ironing process.  Be aware of the risks of trapping high heat and moisture: if you aren't careful, you will greatly increase the chance of burning yourself. Use this method to steam garments that aren't iron-safe. Lay the the clothing on the aluminum foil, and hold the iron 1-2 inches above the fabric. Continually press the "steam" button to quickly steam out the wrinkles. First, line the inside of a bowl with aluminum foil. Then, fill the foil with warm water; one tablespoon of salt; one tablespoon of baking soda; and one teaspoon of dish soap. Soak your tarnished metal items: jewelry, silverware, coins, etc. Let the mixture do its work for ten minutes. Then, remove the metal items and dry them off. Fold a piece of aluminum foil until it is five or six layers thick. Then, cut it repeatedly with a pair of dulled scissors. This should gently sharpen the blades and increase the lifespan of the tool. Before you move a piece of furniture, cut up pieces of aluminum foil. Slide the foil pieces beneath the legs with the dull side down. These foil patches should help the furniture slide smoothly across the floor. Use crumpled-up aluminum foil like...

Apprenticeship applicants in Kentucky must be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma and pass a drug test. An apprenticeship is required to obtain an electrician license in Kentucky. An apprenticeship provides classroom instruction and paid on-the-job training for aspiring electricians. Most apprenticeship programs take 3 to 5 years to complete, and cost between $400 and $1,000 a year. Most apprentices are paid about 50 percent of the market rate during on-the-job training. Upon completion of an apprenticeship, students are qualified for both construction and maintenance electrical work. There are several options for apprenticeship programs in Kentucky.  Choose a union apprenticeship program. Electrical unions like the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) offer apprenticeship programs. Each union sponsors aspiring electricians through its apprenticeship program, and then requires membership in the union upon completion of the program. Each union provides career placement assistance and continuing education opportunities. Union apprenticeships are offered throughout Kentucky. Select a state sponsored apprenticeship. Kentucky offers several state sponsored apprenticeship opportunities. Often funded by workforce development initiatives, the state sponsored programs provide classroom and on-the-job training. Participation in a state sponsored program may require you to relocate to the apprenticeship site in Kentucky.  Candidates may apply for state sponsored apprenticeships in Kentucky through the Joint Apprentice Training Program, headquartered in Louisville. Consider an online electrician program. Online apprenticeship programs provide the opportunity for students to complete classroom training online. The online programs match students with local apprenticeship programs for on-the-job training. Ensure the online electrician program is accredited by the Kentucky...

You can use a small amount of butter for this, but a non-stick cooking spray would be better. You can also use a 10 in (25 cm) cast iron skillet. Use 1 tablespoon of butter to grease it. Place 1 cup (225 g) of butter into a stand mixer, then add 1½ cups (340 g) of sugar. Beat the 2 ingredients together using a medium-high speed setting until the butter turns light and creamy. This will take about 4 minutes.  Use a paddle attachment for the mixer, if possible. If you don't have a stand mixer, then you can use a handheld mixer instead. If you greased your cake or pie pan with non-stick cooking spray, subtract 1 tablespoon of butter. Crack open an egg into the butter mixture, then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat the mixture on a medium-high speed setting for a few more seconds until the egg is completely blended in and no yolk streaks remain. If you need to, scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula so that everything gets mixed in evenly. Pour 2½ cups (250 g) of all-purpose flour into a new bowl. Add ½ teaspoon of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt, then whisk everything together until combined. Make sure that you are using baking powder and not baking soda. Add in half of the flour mixture into the butter mixture, then blend it in using a medium-low speed setting. Add the rest of the flour mixture in, and finish beating it until it is all blended in.  Do not overwork the batter. Once you can't see anymore dry flour, stop. If you keep blending it, then it will soften too much. Use a rubber spatula to scrape any unblended mixture down the sides of the bowl as needed. This is not absolutely necessary, but it is a nice touch, and will make the cookie look more like a “Funfetti” birthday cake. Pour the sprinkles across the batter first, then gently fold them in with a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overdo it with the folding, or the sprinkles’ colors will bleed into the batter.

If you see the person coming, turn around and walk in the other direction. Cross the street, or duck into a shop. If you're lucky, the negative person won't have seen your maneuver.  If you know the negative person's normal routines, avoid going to the places where she's likely to be, or go at times she's unlikely to be there. It's important to be aware of your surroundings so that you don't accidentally encounter the negative person. To avoid someone, make sure you're never available for conversation. Keep your phone handy, so you can pretend to be completely engaged in it if the person you're trying to avoid shows up unexpectedly.  Making eye contact invites communication, so if you accidentally encounter the negative person, try to avoid looking them in the eye. Instead, pretend to be busy looking elsewhere. If you know anyone else in the vicinity, get involved in a conversation. When the negative person sees you engaged in a conversation with another person, she's unlikely to interrupt with her negative remarks. Almost all friends have a mix of positive and negative qualities. If you stop engaging in negativity, chances are you'll find yourself with more positive people.  Limit your responses to negative topics to neutral ones, such as, "I see," or "Okay." When someone gives a positive response, react with enthusiasm. Negative people tend to stay "stuck" in bad things that happen, and exaggerating their plight. Positive people tend to focus on the good things that happen, even though they may acknowledge difficulty and challenges. This is because positive people tend to have an internal locus of control, which means they feel more in control of their circumstances and the things that happen to them.  When negative subjects arise, it's okay to change the subject. If you can, make sure that there are other people around when you're with the negative person. More people will help disperse her negative energy, and help you keep perspective.  When she's in a group situation, the negative person might act and...

The papers your professor or teacher assigns may be different from anything you have written before. That is why it is important to read the instructions before you work on any papers for the class. Ask your professor if anything is unclear before you get started. For example, your old English teacher might have required you to submit an outline before writing a paper, but your new teacher or professor might want you to complete a different type of prewriting activity. Even if your professor does not require you to prewrite, you should do it. Prewriting is an important step in the writing process that helps you to develop your ideas for a paper. Taking the time to do this will help you to write a better paper and increase your chances of success in the class.  You can freewrite by writing whatever comes to mind. Try clustering, which is when you connect ideas with lines to find connections. Draw pictures to represent your ideas if you are more of a visual learner. . Drafting is when you take ideas from the prewriting process and put them into the structure of an essay. This will include an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Make sure to follow any special instructions your professor or teacher provides for the drafting phase. They may require you to submit multiple drafts to show your progress. After you have a draft, you can revise it. Revising is not the same as proofreading. When you revise, your focus should be on improving the content of your paper. You can do this by reading through your paper and looking for areas to add more detail, improve the organization, or cut passages that are clunky or irrelevant.  For example, when reading through your draft, your description of a key person’s appearance may seem brief and underdeveloped. You could expand this and add more detail as part of your revision. Keep in mind that you may need to revise several times. Writing is a cyclical process, so it is normal to do this. Your school might have a writing center, or at least a tutoring center with...

TL;DR in English: Follow your professor or teacher’s instructions for writing assignments. Take time to prewrite your papers. Draft your paper Revise your work and then make adjustments. Visit a writing center for additional help. Proofread Using writing apps to help you improve your writing.

As you continue playing, surviving becomes painful, and eating Cooked Morsel, Frog Legs, and Berries won't be enough. Food you gathered are also easily spoiled and with hardly enough good effect on health. You need a Crock Pot to have better food for health regeneration.  A Crock Pot is a contraption that lets you combine and cook four food items into a recipe. Craft it with 3 Cut Stones, 6 Charcoal, and 6 Twigs using the Alchemy Engine. Get Cut Stones from 3 Rocks using the Science Machine. Charcoal can be gathered from burnt trees. If there are no burnt trees around, look for a small patch of trees (preferably far from the thick forest), and torch them down. Twigs can be used as filler for some foods in the Crock Pot. There are lots of food you can whip up with your Crock Pot, and it's not really necessary to use 4 food items for a meal. For example, you only need Frog Legs and a Mushroom and 2 Twigs for a Froggle Bunwich. An Alchemy Engine is a craftable science structure that unlocks more crafting recipes to aid in your survival. With much more powerful weapons and tougher armor, you can withstand any Hound attack and increase your chances of survival, especially during harsh winters.  To create an Alchemy Engine, you need 6 Gold, 4 Boards, and 2 Cut Stones. With the Alchemy Engine, create an Ice Box where you can store your food, thereby reducing the spoilage rate by 50%. An Ice Box requires 2 Gold, 1 Board, and 1 Gear. You can gather Gear from clockwork monsters. Having a Farm is possible in the game. Weapons, armor, and other items can be crafted easily with the proper materials gathered around the world. A Farm, however, requires patience, and you need seeds to plant.  To have a really good and fast harvest, you need an Improved Farm, which can be crafted with 10 Cut Grass, 6 Manure, and 4 Rocks using the Alchemy Machine. Manure can be found and gathered by exploring a Beefalo Field when you chance upon one. Beefalo herds can be found in Savanna biomes and won't attack you unless provoked. You can...

Stay away from others for the duration of your illness. Wash your hands. Clean shared surfaces and avoid sharing whenever possible.

Gossiping requires a fine balance. You don't want to seem like an enthusiastic gossiper, because you want to Try to maintain your relationship as someone who is trustworthy to speak to. But at the same time, you also want to spread it around, because, well, it's fun. So, you've got to be a good actor.  When you approach some gossipy territory in a conversation, start looking over your shoulder, as if you're worried someone will hear. Ask if the other person has heard the news first. If they haven't heard, make a worried face and wring your hands. Say, "Oh, well, I really shouldn't say. It isn't right to gossip." When you get ready, lean in close and start with, "Well, now, you didn't hear this from me..." Your audience will be locked in. When you have good gossip, you can't just tell everyone you know, unless you want it to blow back on you. Besides, you don't have to tell a lot of people, just a select few.  If your good friend told you something in confidence, don't tell all your other friends. Instead, tell someone at work. If someone at work did something super-embarrassing, don't tell all your coworkers, tell your friends. When and if the gossip does eventually get around, everyone will forget who they heard it from originally, most of the time, but you want to be sure to distance yourself from it as much as possible. Gossip shouldn't be something that you broadcast or speak about loudly, for everyone to hear. Make sure you take people aside, use very quiet voices, and don't let anyone you don't know hear what you're talking about. Even if you're spreading gossip, it's important to Try to limit it as much as possible. This goes for gossiping online, even more so. Private messages of gossip? Ok, maybe. Posting on your own, or someone else's board publicly? Just don't. Treat your gossiping like you're treating a friend to privileged information, not like you're just broadcasting gossip to anyone who will listen. Make sure that everyone you tell knows that this isn't something to spread around, even if they...

TL;DR in English: Pretend you don't want to let loose of the news. Spread it around smartly. Do it quietly. Tell each person they can't tell anyone. Consider only telling a half-truth.

It may take you a few weeks of experimenting to find the ideal combination of techniques that work for you. If your back pain does not appear to get better, trying other strategies to relieve your back pain throughout the day may help.  Don’t try to lift objects that are too heavy. Lift from the knees, pull the stomach muscles in, and keep the head down and in line with a straight back. When lifting, keep objects close to the body. Do not twist when lifting.  Use a foam roller to help relieve muscle pain. These look like thick pool noodles. You lie on a flat surface and roll the foam roller beneath your back. Care must be taken when using a foam roller directly on the low back. Make sure you angle your body slightly to the side, which prevents a hyperextension of the low back. Over time, this can jam the joints and cause pain. Leaning slightly to the side can help reduce this discomfort and risk.  Set up an ergonomically correct workstation.  Make sure you have proper lumbar support while sitting. A chair with good lumbar support can help you avoid low back pain from prolonged sitting. Get up and stretch every hour or so. Acute back pain should improve on its own with proper self-care techniques. If your back pain does not improve after four weeks, you should see a doctor. You may have a more serious condition that requires additional treatment.  Common causes of lower back pain include arthritis, degenerative disc disease, and other nerve and muscular problems.  Appendicitis, kidney diseases, pelvic infections, and ovarian disorders may also cause pain in your lower back. Lower back pain is common, affecting around 84% of adults at some point in their lives. However, certain symptoms are signs of a more severe condition. If you experience any of the following symptoms, seek medical treatment right away:  Pain extending from your back down the leg Pain that gets worse when you bend over or bend your legs Pain that gets worse at night Fever with back pain Back pain with bladder or bowel trouble Back pain with...

TL;DR in English: Try different combinations of these techniques. Try other pain relief strategies. See a doctor. Recognize severe symptoms.

Just press your lips together gently and softly, and enjoy the sensation of your partner's lips on yours. You can move one lip above your partner's and the other in between his or her lips, so your lips fit in together instead of being directly on top of one another. You can just linger here for a few seconds without expecting anything more. Don't pucker your lips too much, but relax and enjoy this sweet, simple sensation. This is what you've been waiting for all along — and we're not talking about crazy fight sequence in the middle of The Avengers. Once you lock lips, the sky is the limit. Gently slip your tongue into your date's mouth and begin French kissing. At first, take it slowly instead of jamming your tongue into your date's mouth. Once your tongues are in each other's mouths, gently explore the territory. You don't have to totally grope your date, but using your hands while you're making out can kick things up a notch. Caress the sides of your partner's face while you're kissing, touch your date's shoulders or arms, and just keep your hands active to keep things interesting. You don't have to go overboard — there's also something to be said for a simple sensual kiss that doesn't require a lot of arm movements.  You can also place a hand on your partner's thigh or caress his or her knee. Try stroking the side of your date's neck once you're kissing. Using your hands and exploring your partner's body (in PG areas) can help enhance your make out session, but don't take it too far. You are in public after all, and you don't want to get escorted out of the theatre after your make out session gets X rated. You don't have to make out for thirty minutes or for the duration of the movie without stopping. In fact, you'll probably enjoy kissing a lot more if you take breaks and come up for air from time to time. You can slowly pull away from your partner and take a few breaths and make eye contact before you move back in for a kiss. You can also just move away a bit and return your focus to the movie until...

TL;DR in English: Gently lock lips. Start making out. Use your hands. Don't forget to come up for air. Leave your partner wanting more.

Once you’ve figured out what these probabilities are, you’ll calculate them separately. Say you wanted to know the probability of rolling a 5 twice consecutively on a 6-sided die. You know that the probability of rolling one five is 1/6, and the probability of rolling another five with the same die is also 1/6. The first outcome doesn’t interfere with the second. If the occurrence of 1 event alters the probability of a second event occurring, you are measuring the probability of dependent events. For example, if you choose 2 cards out of a deck of 52 cards, when you choose the first card, that affects what cards are available when you choose the second card. To calculate the probability for the second of two dependent events, you’ll need to subtract 1 from the possible number of outcomes when calculating the probability of the second event.   Example 1: Consider the event: Two cards are drawn randomly from a deck of cards. What is the likelihood that both cards are clubs? The likelihood that the first card is a club is 13/52, or 1/4. (There are 13 clubs in every deck of cards.) Now, the likelihood that the second card is a club is 12/51, since 1 club will have already been removed. This is because what you do the first time affects the second. If you draw a 3 of clubs and don't put it back, there will be one less club and one less card in the deck (51 instead of 52).   Example 2: A jar contains 4 blue marbles, 5 red marbles, and 11 white marbles. If 3 marbles are drawn from the jar at random, what is the probability that the first marble is red, the second marble is blue, and the third is white? The probability that the first marble is red is 5/20, or 1/4. The probability of the second marble being blue is 4/19, since we have 1 less marble, but not 1 less blue marble. And the probability that the third marble is white is 11/18, because we’ve already chosen 2 marbles. Regardless of whether you’re dealing with independent or dependent events, and whether you’re working with 2, 3, or even 10 total outcomes, you...

TL;DR in English: Deal with each probability separately to calculate independent events. Consider the effect of prior events when calculating probability for dependent events. Multiply the probabilities of each separate event by one another.

Measure the bean plants once per week to track their growth. They’re ready to transfer when they are 8 in (20 cm) tall. Keep the bean sprouts with the cotton you planted them in when you are ready to transfer them to the ground. Do not separate the bean roots from the cotton or you may kill the plants. Use a ruler or tape measure to check the distances. Dig the holes deep enough so that they will cover the cotton and bean roots completely. Then, transfer each of the bean plants and cotton to one of the holes. Cover the cotton with about 1 in (2.5 cm) of soil. Spacing the beans too close together may cause them not to grow, so make sure that they are at least 3 in (7.6 cm) apart. Make a mound of dirt and then thrust a 6 to 8 ft (1.8 to 2.4 m) tall pole through the center of it. Plant the 6 bean plants in a circle around the pole so that each plant is equidistant from the pole—about 6–8 in (15–20 cm) from it—and the other plants. Dig the holes deep enough to cover the cotton and bean roots completely. Then, transfer each of the plants to the holes and cover the cotton with about 1 in (2.5 cm) of soil. Right after you first plant the beans, water them well. Then, check the beans on a weekly basis or more often in very hot, dry weather. If it rains, you can skip watering them for up to 1 week, so check the weather forecast often. You can check the soil by inserting your finger 1 in (2.5 cm) into it next to a bean plant. If it feels dry, it’s time to water the plants. Spread the fertilizer over the soil around the plants and between the rows. Use 2 to 3 lb (0.91 to 1.36 kg) of fertilizer per 10 by 10 ft (3.0 by 3.0 m) area of earth. Mix the fertilizer in with the top 3 to 4 in (7.6 to 10.2 cm) of soil around the plants. You can purchase 10-20-10 fertilizer in a home improvement store or nursery. Tug gently to remove the beans from the plant so that you do not damage it. The plant may continue to grow beans after the first harvest. The amount of time it takes for the beans to be ready will depend on the type of...

TL;DR in English: Plant the sprouts and cotton in soil when they're 8 in (20 cm) tall. Space bush beans 3 to 4 in (7.6 to 10.2 cm) apart with 2.5 to 3 ft (0.76 to 0.91 m) between rows. Plant 6 pole beans around poles spaced 3 to 4 ft (0.91 to 1.22 m) apart. Water the beans once per week in dry weather or when the soil is dry. Fertilize the soil around the plants with a 10-20-10 fertilizer. Pick the beans when they are ready to harvest.

Bacterial pharyngitis can be transmitted through droplets in the air or by touching surfaces that have also been touched by an infected person. Therefore, if you have bacterial pharyngitis, the best way to prevent others from catching it is to stay away from others as much as possible.  Take time off work if you are allowed sick days. Cancel social commitments with others to avoid spreading your illness. Washing your hands frequently (and thoroughly) will also help to prevent others from catching it. Wash for at least 30 seconds with soap and warm water. Another option is to carry an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with you for use throughout the day. Finally, to prevent transmission of your bacterial pharyngitis to others, refrain from sharing objects whenever possible. Also clean any shared surfaces, such as doorknobs, kitchen appliances, TV remotes, and phones, after use.

Place your sundial on a flat, horizontal surface. Make sure your sundial will be in direct sunlight all day. Point the gnomon north if you’re in the northern hemisphere. Face the gnomon south if you’re in the southern hemisphere. Use a vertical sundial if you’re at the equator.

The number one way to get natural back-links is to create useful content. People will do your linking work for you if your content is useful or interesting to them. Creating good content is an art form, and will come with practice.  Use alternative content delivery methods. Try using comics, podcasts, videos, or any other form of communication to help set yourself apart and build a good brand identity.  Interviews are a great way to create interesting content as well as network. Interviews are factual and generally bring lots of views from interested demographics. If you are an expert on a subject, leverage that expertise and make yourself an authority on that subject. If you are providing useful and unique content for your niche, you will find others linking to you as a reference. These are some of the strongest links you can make, as they greatly affect your trust rating. If you are able to make yourself enough of an authority, you can find yourself linked in news articles and other major publications. These can lead to massive increases in traffic and rank. The internet buzz is constantly shifting, and it pays to stay on top of what's popular. Tailor your content to meet the shifting tides of what is being talked about, and you will find yourself being linked all over the place. Nobody likes reading an article that is poorly written or riddled with spelling errors. Take some time and proofread your writing. A lot of this polish will come with practice and patience. Evergreen content is content that will always be relevant. This content is good for consistent links, as the content often gets rediscovered at a later date. A strong link portfolio will have several evergreen links mixed in. Some of the best evergreen content include romance, food, parenting, weight loss, pet care, and much more. Common evergreen formats include:  Lists Reviews How-tos An ugly or unusable site will kill your back-link campaign before it even starts.

The hips are ball and socket joints that help your legs move. Focusing on hip stretching can give you better range of motion in your legs. There are a number of hip stretches, including the hip flexor stretch, the hip rotator stretch, the floor hip stretch and the hip abductor stretch. To do the hip flexor stretch:  Kneel on your right knee and put your opposite foot on the floor. Your opposite hip and knee should rest at a 90 degree angle. Push your right hip forward until it is over your right knee. Keep your hands on your hips. Keep your back straight and your chest pushing forward. Breathe into the stretch until you feel some tension in your hips. Hold the stretch for 15-60 seconds. Release the stretch switch to the other side. Repeat stretches on each side for a total of 5 times. Do these sets a couple of times every day. The hamstrings are the muscles along the backside of your thighs. There are a number of ways to stretch these muscles; these exercises usually require some resistance or support surface to enable a good stretch, such as a doorway and wall, a table, a ballet barre, or the floor. To do a doorway stretch:  Lie on the floor next to a doorway. Rest one leg flat on the floor through a doorway. Rest the other leg against the wall next to the doorway. Start inching your body slowly toward the wall so that your leg is pushed against the wall. You should start to feel some tension in your hamstring muscle. Hold the stretch for 15-60 seconds. Release the stretch switch to the other side. Repeat stretches on each side for a total of 5 times. Do these sets a couple of times every day. Once you are able to do this stretch, try other hamstring stretches that require you to move your leg up higher or stretch it further, such as stretching your leg onto a table or sitting on the floor and stretching your hamstrings. Turnout exercises, also known as “butterfly” or “froggie” stretches, require that your legs bend out to the sides of your body, rotating at the hips. Turndowns are often performed by ballet...

TL;DR in English: Stretch your hips. Stretch your hamstrings. Do turnout exercises. Stretch your leg against a wall.

There are so many things around you. Look at people walking by on the street to just basic furniture in your home. Looking around will eventually make you come up with one or two ideas on what to draw. It's easy if the object or person is close to you, because then you have an exact copy of the real thing when you are drawing. If you have a device with you, you can take a picture of it and have it right next to you to make it less difficult. . If you can't think of what to draw, just put pen to paper and make it move. Draw lines, simple shapes, scribbles, cartoon characters, stick people, or anything else that comes out. The physical act of moving your hands to create can reenergize you. Doodling allows you to think and create in a non-judgmental, almost subconscious way. These are the bread and butter of life drawing, but you can use them in other situations as well. Set a timer for one minute and try to draw the entirety of a figure or object. You will have work quickly, forcing you to capture just the essence of your subject. Do several of these drawings in a five or ten minute period. You can even use online images as subjects for gesture drawings. Photographs can be great as the basis of drawings, especially when you’re out of ideas. If there's nothing around to draw, go looking for photographs that might be interesting or fresh to draw. Tell yourself that you will draw whatever you find on page three of a magazine, for instance, no matter what it is. If you’re stuck and don’t know what to draw, you can always copy what someone else has already done! Trying to recreate the work of a previous artist not only solves the problem of what to draw, it can also be a great opportunity to learn.  Consider copying the work of the Old Masters like Raphael or Rembrandt, as well as new ones like Frieda Kahlo or Francis Bacon. Many museums allow you to sketch on site. Grab your sketchpad and a pencil, and draw a work that inspires you. Reading a book about drawing might seem like the path to boredom rather than...

TL;DR in English: Look at your surroundings for inspiration. Doodle Do quick gesture drawings. Draw from photographs. Copy the masters. Consult a book on drawing.

Knowing more about what you're afraid of could very well help you overcome your fear by making needles and injections seem more ordinary. Do some research about injections: their history, their purpose, even their dangers.  Look up pictures of needles and injections online to desensitize yourself. To take this to the next level you might consider handling real (clean, unused) syringes for a few minutes everyday.  This might be difficult to start with, but it could help you overcome your fear. The more exposure you have to needles the more ordinary they will seem. Some people develop a fear of injections because they associate them with another traumatizing event. Often those who suffer from needle phobia are those who had a lot of blood tests or procedures involving needles when they were a child. Think back over your childhood and talk to your parents about this. Understanding the roots of your fear can help you to confront it. Rather than dwelling on your fear of injections, focus instead on how the injection is going to help you. Continually remind yourself that you're protecting yourself from something much worse than a simple injection. Or, if you're donating blood, think about all of the people you're helping by overcoming your fear.  List your fears and concerns (“Injections are painful!”), and then counter those fears with positive, rational ideas (“Injections keep me healthy!”).  If you have a child who's scared of needles, be honest with him or her about the importance of the injection. And don't tiptoe around the pain. Be honest about that too. One of the most effective ways to combat fear, and the drop in blood pressure that can lead to fainting, is to practice applied tension. If you begin to feel faint or have in the past fainted at the sight of needles, applied tension, which helps regulate your blood pressure, can help keep you from fainting again. You will need to learn how to do this before you go for the injection. If you start to feel scared, applied tension can help you calm down before...

TL;DR in English: Confront your fear. Consider the source of your fear. Rationalise your fear. Practice applied tension.

Make your boss happy by arriving on time or early every day and not calling in sick unless it's absolutely necessary. Showing up early lets the boss know you are devoted to your job and that he or she can rely on you to take accountability for your actions. Not needing the boss to monitor you will reflect positively on you. If you do show up late, make sure you’re truly apologetic and show that you know that this is not acceptable.  If you aim to get to work extra early, then you’ll end up showing up at least on time if you face any unexpected challenges. Getting to work early will also make you do better at your job, because you’ll feel like you have more time to accomplish all of your daily tasks. One way to please your boss is to show up to work with a smile on your face and to whistle while you work, so to speak. Though not every part of your job may be thrilling, you should make an effort to be optimistic, to talk about the things you love about your job, and to avoid complaining about it as much as you can. You don’t want to be the person who brings people down and you don’t want your boss to think that you’re unhappy with your work.  Of course, if you have a real problem, then you should bring it up as respectfully as possible. But as a rule, you should try to keep things fun and upbeat. You want your energy to make people feel better, not worse. It can be easy to fall into complaining with your coworkers. If they start complaining around you, try to kindly change the subject or excuse yourself from the situation. Bad energy can be infectious. Your boss will be very pleased if he knows you to be neat and organized. You want to make sure that your files are in order, that your emails, desktop, and any other important documents are all in place, and that you never have to spend more than thirty seconds looking for a paper that you need. If you’re sloppy with your work, then this will show that you don’t care about your work as much as you should, and that you’re not invested in giving it your all.  Plus,...

TL;DR in English: Arrive early. Maintain a positive attitude. Be neat and organized. Avoid the gossip circle. Participate when asked. Accept new challenges. Look professional.

A sundial will only work correctly when it’s on a perfectly flat surface, like the ground, a stand, or a table. Place yours down in a safe spot where it won’t get knocked down or moved. This may seem obvious, but it’s crucial! If you want to be able to read your sundial from dawn to dusk, keep it out in an open, unshaded area where sunlight can reach it for as long as possible. You may notice that some sundials show only 12-hour measurements, since they won’t work for the hours that the sun is down. Use a compass or look for the North Star at night to find true north. Then, rotate the face of your sundial until the gnomon, or the pin of the sundial, is pointing straight north. The 12:00 noon notation is aligned with the gnomon, so it will be pointing north as well. If you live below the equator, you’ll need to point the gnomon of your sundial towards the south, rather than the north. You can use a compass or look for the Southern Cross constellation to find true south and adjust your sundial accordingly. To find the Southern Cross, look for 4 stars shaped like a small kite. The farther south you are, the higher it will be in the sky. The angle of the sun makes it very difficult to use a traditional horizontal sundial along the equator. Instead, use a vertical sundial and follow the packaging instructions to set it up and point the gnomon correctly. At the equator, the sun rises along the eastern horizon and moves straight up, then sets on the western horizon. If you used a horizontal sundial, the shadow would fall mostly west in the morning and mostly east in the afternoon, instead of rotating slowly.

TL;DR in English:


Mix your hair dye. Apply the dye to your hair Wait for your dye to set in your hair. Rinse out the dye according to its directions. Evaluate your new color.

Make sure that your hair is clean and freshly-washed first. Detangle it with a wide-toothed comb first, then apply a generous amount of leave-in conditioner to it. Run the comb through your hair again to help evenly distribute the leave-in conditioner.  This method works best on damp hair, but you can work with dry hair as well. It is very similar to the LOC (leave-in conditioner, oil, and cream) method used before styling hair. This method is safe for your hair, but be aware that it can weaken and break your hair over time. Part your hair down the center, from your forehead down to your nape. Part it again, this time going horizontally across the back of your head from ear-to-ear. Twist and clip 3 of those sections out of the way. Go to the remaining section of hair that you left loose. Apply some shea butter to it first, then follow up with olive oil. Run a wide-toothed comb through your hair to help make it smooth and to distribute the products. You can use other moisturizing products and oils instead, if you prefer. Use a smaller hair tie for this rather than the standard sized one. It will help reduce bulk and make the style more comfortable for you. When tying the ponytail, make sure that the hair along your scalp is pulled taut. Use tangle-free hair ties to prevent snagging. Don't wrap the hair tie repeatedly around the same spot as you would when tying off a ponytail or braid. Instead, wrap and twist the hair tie down the length of the ponytail in a crisscross fashion. You should be able to cover 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of hair this way. Pull your hair taut while doing this. Start wrapping the next hair tie where you finished wrapping the last one. Remember to pull your hair taut as you go. Depending on the length of your hair, plan on using 6 to 7 hair ties for the entire section. When you have one last wrap left on your hair tie, fold the ends of your hair down, and wrap the hair tie one last time. This will make it more secure. When you are done, you'll have a bunch of Medusa-like tentacles...

TL;DR in English: Apply a moisturizing leave-in conditioner to your hair. Divide your hair into 4 sections. Apply moisturizer and oil to the remaining hair section. Tie the section into a tight ponytail. Pull the ponytail taut and wrap a hair tie down its length. Continue wrapping hair ties around your ponytail until you get to the end. Repeat the process on the remaining sections. Cover your hair with a scarf. Remove the bands the following day.

Plan to bleach your hair when it is damp but not dripping. Run your hair under a cool stream of water (be it in the shower or sink). Once your whole head is wet, towel dry it so that it is damp rather than soaking wet (ie. there should not be water dripping in rivulets off of your head).  You can also let your hair air dry for several minutes in combination with towel drying it. Bleach can be applied to wet or dry hair. You should use whatever approach is more consistent with your level of bleaching experience. Your bleach will likely go best if you use a method you are comfortable with. Bleach has a tendency to remove the color from everything (not just your hair but clothing too) so it's important to bleach-proof your work area. Wrap an old towel (one you don't mind discoloring) around your shoulders. To be safe, you may want to wear an old shirt you don't care about as well. Put your latex or rubber gloves on so that the bleach doesn't irritate your skin. You will need to wear latex or rubber gloves for this step. When applying the bleach wash, start at the bottom (or tips) of your hair and work your way up to the roots. Once you have reached the roots, rub the rest of the bleach bath into your hair just like you would rub normal shampoo into your hair while showering. It's okay to apply the mix only to certain spots on your hair (like where the color didn't work out like you wanted it to.) Once your hair is clipped up with plastic clips, put a shower cap over it. The shower cap will make the bleach process more quickly, and will also ensure that the bleach doesn't drip everywhere. Spray a small section of the hair with plain water in a spray bottle and wipe a bit of bleach clean with an old towel. Do this every few minutes to keep an eye on how much your hair is lightening. It is important to keep an eye on your bleaching hair or else you may end up with a more intense platinum that the one you were hoping for.  For already bleached hair, you may only need 7 - 10 minutes. For removing a dark dye, you may...

TL;DR in English: Wet your hair with cool water. Put an old towel around your shoulders. Apply the bleach wash to your damp hair. Clip your hair up while the bleach processes. Use a spray bottle and towel to remove a bit of bleach. Wash out the solution.

Abusers often resort to name-calling and put downs. Hearing this once or twice is horrible, but it won’t necessarily change the way you feel about yourself. Listening to it repeatedly, however, often has terrible effects on a person’s self-esteem and can leave you thinking you are what you’ve been called.  Victims often feel like their spirit has been broken. They usually become fearful, anxious, and attempt to stay on “good behavior” so as not to elicit an argument. If you find yourself acting in any of these ways, chances are, you are the victim of abuse.  Another sign of a dwindling self-esteem is feeling worthless without your spouse's approval. You may beat yourself up when they disapprove, but be on cloud nine when they applaud you. You might also feel like no one else will ever love you, which makes you more likely to stay in an abusive relationship. Reflect on the thoughts that you have about yourself, or things that you say out loud about yourself to others. If you often think or say self-loathing things, then this is a cause for concern. Victims are often blamed for everything their abuser is upset about it. Most often, however, the abused is just a victim of circumstance. The abuser will skew their minds to make themselves believe that the blame is always on someone else and never on themselves. After a while, the victim begins to believe that they are, in fact, at fault for everything, even though they really aren’t.  When your spouse becomes irritated, do you automatically assume it is something you did? Do you take the blame for things just to avoid a huge blowup, even though you know you had nothing to do with them? If these sound like behaviors you exhibit, you could be the victim of abuse.  You might feel anxious or guilty regularly, making your spouse's mood your top priority. You might feel like you walk around on eggshells trying to please them. When they’re being honest with themselves, victims rarely say that they are happy in their relationships. Sure, every relationship has its ups and...

TL;DR in English: Look at the state of your self-esteem. Decide if you feel like everything is your fault. Examine your overall happiness.

You need to know what you can expect once you get to your destination. First of all, if you’re staying with a friend or family member, see what items they have there for you to use (like towels and shampoo). You should also check the weather report for your destination, so you know what kind of clothes to bring. Make sure to consider what the weather will be like in the evenings and mornings too, not just what you’ll need for daytime wear. Some places are very hot during the day but freezing once the sun goes down. You want to pack as light as possible, since toting around a bunch of stuff you don't need will only add to the headache of a trip. By taking only a carry on, you can save yourself some baggage fees, get out of the airport faster, and have less to carry as you make your way to your hotel.  Even if you're going on a trip for a long time, you can still pack lightly. Simply find a laundromat or other way of cleaning your clothes (such as borrowing a friend's clothes or washing them by hand in the hotel's tub). If you do use this method, keep in mind that you will be limited in the items that you can bring, such as liquids and sharp objects. However, sometimes these items can be purchased once you arrive. Try to find as many opportunities as you can to make items count for more than one purpose. Stick to a color scheme when picking your clothes and try to pack three tops for every pair of bottoms. No one will notice that those jeans are the same and you can get vastly different looks by pairing items creatively. For example, for a one week trip, you can pack one pair of pants, three tee shirts, two tank tops, two formal shirts, a button up sweater, and a pair of pajama bottoms. The sweater can not only be paired with the formal shirts for style and the tees for warm, it can also be paired with the two tank tops to act as another casual top. All of the shirts can be worn as pajama tops after their respective days of wear. Between the pair of pants you wear on the plane and the pair you pack, you'll have...

TL;DR in English: Check out what you’re getting yourself in to. Shoot to only take a carry on. Make everything as useful as possible. Choose layer-able, lightweight items. Try rolling your clothes. Create an overnight bundle.You can create an efficient bundle of overnight items by rolling them all together. Try bundle-packing. Use the space available to you. Compress clothing when you can. Factor in space for souvenirs. Keep everything important organized and prepared. Pack a separate pouch for the plane.

As there are many different kinds of hair dye, there are many different methods of preparation you may have to follow for it. For the brightest green, a straight green dye will likely be your best bet. Follow the directions on the packaging for best results. Generally, you'll want to use the mixing bowl that came with your dye to prepare it.  If your dye did not come with a mixing bowl, a plastic bowl or small tupperware container may work. However, the dye may permanently stain your mixing container, so only use those you're comfortable staining/tinting green.  You may want to blend two separate dyes, one blue and one green, together to modify the hue of your green dye. The more blue you add, the more the intensity of your green will be diminished.  Be thorough in your dye mixing, whether mixing a single color or two separate ones. If you fail to mix the dye thoroughly throughout, your hair may end up being dyed inconsistently. . Different dyes will have different instructions for application, and you should follow these to get the best color from your product. In most cases, your hair should be sectioned into parts to ensure a thorough dyeing, and an applicator or a dye applicator brush should be used to spread the dye onto your hair.  Have whoever is applying the dye massage the product into your hair to ensure the dye saturates your hair and dyes it consistently throughout. Be sure whoever is applying the dye to your hair is wearing latex, rubber, or vinyl gloves when dyeing. Hair dye can sometimes take many days to fade from your skin. To prevent dye from staining the skin along your hairline or around your ears, you may want to spread Vaseline or lip balm along these parts. This will make the dye easier to remove. Depending on the dye you have used, you may need to wait 30 minutes for the dye to work its magic, or you may need to wait several hours. Most kinds of dye show up more intensely if you allow more time for the dye to set, but you should be careful not to wait too long. The chemicals in the dye...

Add new fish Clean the water Refill your pond when the water level lowers.

The first thing to do is turn the chair over, and look at all hardware. Get a screwdriver or wrench and tighten any loose ones. Even try to tighten the parts that don't appear loose. Over time, it is easy for screws and bolts to become loose, causing certain chair parts to rub together irregularly and create a squeaky noise. Apply a lubricating oil on all of the nuts, screws and bolts to help loosen the joints. Simply spray oil directly on the the chair mechanisms, and pat them dry. You can also spray oil on a soft cotton cloth, and rub the oil onto your problem areas to have more control over where the oil goes.  Moisture in the air and air conditioners cause rust. Regularly applying oil prevents rust from occurring and building up. If the chair still squeaks after adding lubricant and tightening all bolts and screws, take them all out, and lubricate them with a light machine oil before putting them back in. To help you locate the area of the chair that is squeaking, have someone sit in it, and swivel from side to side. By applying weight to the chair to make it squeak, it will allow you to more easily locate the source of the noise to more accurately apply oil. Each time you apply more oil, ask your friend to swivel the chair so you can see if you put oil in the right spot. A chair may only squeak when you lean back, which is usually caused by too much tension where the spring's ends rub on the housing ends. To fix this, apply oil to the seat tension spring located inside the turn-knob housing. Simply loosen the seat tension turn-knob and remove the turn-knob to spray oil inside the housing. Desk chairs are often on wheels that may move a lot, so it is common for the axles in the wheels to need some silicone spray over time. Turn the chair over and spray the wheels. Then, flip the chair back over, and roll the chair to spread the silicone around the entire wheel. Collapsing into a chair will eventually cause it to squeak. Chairs go through a lot of wear and tear, so to keep your chair silent, be cautious...

TL;DR in English: Check the nuts, bolts, and screws. Grease the mechanisms. Remove the bolts and screws completely before adding any lubricant. Have a friend sit in the chair as you apply oil. Fix the springs in the back of the chair. Roll the chair back and forth to check out the wheels. Sit down gently.

You have to really know someone if you're going to truly love them, so make sure that the two of you get some quality time together. This means talking to each other! Talk about things that are important to you. Talk about significant matters (like religion and politics). Talk about your hopes, dreams, and goals for the future. This will help you understand who your husband really is, and let him understand the same of you.  Tell your husband that you want some quality time with him and why! This will help him understand why it's important. Try going for a leisurely drive or a walk somewhere, in order to get time to talk together, especially if you feel like you can't talk at home. Everyone has something that they're good at or something that makes them incredible and unique. Find this aspect of your husband and love him for it. There are lots of good reasons to love a person. Maybe your husband is a good provider. Maybe he's got a great sense of humor. Maybe he's affectionate and loyal. Maybe he's really smart. Driven? Good at this job? Your husband is human, not a god, so expect there to be some flaws. We all have them. You too! However, when we love someone...really love them...we embrace those flaws. We love them not despite their weaknesses but because of them. Just like he will love you for who you are, you must love him for who he really is. Maybe your husband is too talkative...but this can be an endearing quality. Maybe he's a bit messy...but he's your messy husband. This is the whole point of marriage: we work together to get through life and make each other better, more fulfilled people. You should also encourage each other to pursue the things you've always dreamed of and become the people you've always wanted to be. You will always be your husband's biggest advocate and he will always be yours...so cheer each other on!  Help him to really shape up and look more impressive, so that he can get that promotion at work. Let him help you work on that bad nail-biting habit! Marriage isn't some romantic...

TL;DR in English: Get some quality time together. Appreciate his strengths. Embrace his weaknesses. Make each other better people. Understand marriage. Give him the chance to wow you. Imagine your future and make it happen. Don't expect him to be your whole life.

Knowing what you do and do not want to do is essential to developing confidence and assertiveness. Think about the things you do for others that make you feel used, and write them down. You may be taken advantage of more than you think.  For example, if you always pick up the check, put it in the "to don't" list. Ask your friend to pick it up next time. Organizing information in list form and checking it off hits our information processing sweet spot. This list will be easy to follow and satisfying to fulfill. If the thought of confronting high-pressure situations makes you sick, start small. You may not be able to stand up to your bully right away, but you can make little changes to build your assertiveness. If you ordered a salad but received a soup, send it back. Once you start getting comfortable with asserting yourself in small situations like this, start building up to bigger ones. If you expect you are going to fail, you have already accepted failure. Base your expectations on what you would love to see happen, not what bad thing you are expecting to happen. If you have done all you can to correct the situation, get out of it. Try to remove yourself as much as possible from the person who is trying to take advantage of you. Life is too short for you to put up with someone who disrespects you. Make the brave choice and remove this person from your life. Keeping them in your life will do nothing but maintain the negativity and you will find it harder to grow confident.

TL;DR in English: Create a “to don’t” list. Pick your battles. Expect the best. Cut out the negativity.

Some doctors believe that finishing prematurely may be the result of personal problems or bad habits developed in past experiences, both in your current relationship and in previous ones. By identifying these possible trouble spots, you can better work through them with your partner or a therapist. Some problems from your past could include hurrying to climax in order to avoid being discovered or rushing through sexual encounters to avoid guilt. Talking to your partner may also demonstrate that you have nothing to worry about. Your partner may not find anything wrong with how long you last. At the same time, your partner may also have some ideas for new positions and foreplay that can increase intimacy and passion, as well as the length of time.

TL;DR in English: Think about psychological difficulties. Talk to your partner.

Before you can begin the process of sealing jars with a water bath, take some time to prepare the jars. First, inspect the jars and lids for nicks, cracks, or sharp and uneven edges. Check both the inner and outer layer of a jar's lid. Make sure the bends fit on all the jars. Defective jars should be thrown out. Once you've made sure all the jars are safe for use, hand wash your jars and lids in soapy warm water. After washing them thoroughly, set them to dry in a drying rack or on a clean dish towel. Place your jars in a large pot filled with water. The water should be hot but not boiling to start. The pot should be large enough so that the water completely covers the jars. Bring the water to a simmer. Keep the jars there until ready for use. If you frequently need to seal glass jars with a water bath, consider purchasing a bath canner. This is a special device specifically designed to submerge jars in water for sterilization. However, this tool is mostly for convenience. If you do not have a bath canner, a large pot will work just as well. When using the water bath sealing method, make sure your foodstuff is naturally acidic or has added acid. This is the only way to guarantee that bacteria will not build up in your canned goods. While you're letting the jars sterilize, prepare your canning recipe. High-acid foods include fruits, fruit juices, jams, jellies and other fruit spreads, salsas, tomatoes with added acid, pickles, relishes, chutneys, sauces, vinegars and condiments. First, turn off the heat on the pot and remove your now sterilized jars from the pot with tongs. You can also buy specialized devices designed to remove jars from hot water, called a jar lifter. This may be slightly safer than tongs. Place the jars to dry in a drying rack or on a clean dish towel. Then bring the large pot to a low boil. Set the boiling water aside and fill your jars. For the best effects, use a tool known as a jar funnel which allows you to easily transfer liquid-like substances into your jars.  Make sure to leave some...

TL;DR in English: Prepare your jars. Sterilize your jars. Prepare your canning recipe. Prepare the water bath. Fill the jars. Load your jars onto your canning rack. Lower the jars into the boiling water. Remove the jars. Store them in a cool, dry place once cooled.

Try and replace all the fish you catch with the same or similar fish to avoid disrupting the pond ecosystem. Keep the male and female fish populations as even as possible to encourage breeding. of debris every week. Use a leaf skimmer to remove debris from the surface of the water—just don't go completely under the water with your skimmer. For leaves at the bottom of the pond, use a leaf vacuum. Purchase leaf skimmers and vacuums from home improvement stores. Splashing and evaporation will eventually decrease the pond's water level. If you get enough rain, you might not have to refill it often. Otherwise, use a garden hose top it off. Attach a dechlorinator to the pond if you're filling it up with city water.

Goldfish are omnivores, which means that they eat meats and plants. There are many types of food that you can feed your goldfish, and it can be overwhelming to go into the pet store and see all of the available options. Before purchasing any food, take some time to learn what the different options are.  Keep in mind that each type of food has its advantages and disadvantages. Your goldfish’s diet should consist of many different types of food. Purchasing different types of food will help you keep his diet interesting and ensure that your goldfish receives all of the nutrients that he needs to stay healthy. Dry food is one of the most common types of goldfish food. Dry food is usually sold in cans and comes in either flakes or pellets. Flakes will stay at the top of the tank and pellets will typically sink to the bottom. Your goldfish will feed at the top and bottom of his tank, so you can use either type of dry food.  In general, dry food is fairly healthy for your goldfish, but does not have all of the nutrients that he needs. Because of this, dry food should not be the main component of your goldfish’s diet. Since flakes stay at the surface, the excess flakes can be removed easily, making the tank easier to keep clean. Live food is an excellent source of protein for your goldfish, and is considered to be the most important part of his diet. Examples of live food are earthworms, bloodworms, daphnia, and brine shrimp.  If not prepared properly, live food has the potential to transmit disease to your goldfish. To reduce the likelihood of disease transmission, purchase the live food from your local pet store, rather than searching in lakes, ponds, or the dirt.  Usually, brine shrimp and earthworms are highly unlikely to transmit disease.  Earthworms are more available during the summer months, during their breeding season. Brine shrimp are very tiny shrimp. They are extremely high in protein, so they should be used as treats rather than a regular part of your goldfish's diet. Frozen and freeze-dried foods often...

TL;DR in English: Learn what types of food your goldfish should eat. Include dry food in your goldfish's diet. Provide different types of live food for your goldfish. Identify frozen and freeze-dried dietary options for your goldfish. Include fruits and vegetables in your goldfish's diet.

Get everything together that you will need to dye your hair and place newspaper over your bathroom counter and floor to protect it from any dye that might drip down. Put on an old T-shirt, a hairdresser’s cape, or a towel around your shoulders to protect your clothing. Then, put gloves on your hands to protect them from the dye. Some other items you might want to have out include:  Lip balm or petroleum jelly to apply around your hair line. Makeup remover wipes or a damp washcloth to remove any hair color that gets on your skin. A hair color application brush to make it easier to distribute the color. Use a comb to part your hair down the center going from the crown down to the nape of your neck. Then, divide those sections in half by making a part that goes from ear-to-ear across the top of your head. Use hair clips to keep the sections in place as you work. If your hair is thick or long, divide each of the 4 sections in half again. Use your gloved fingers or a color application brush to “paint” the mixture onto each section of your hair going from the roots to the tips. Make sure you saturate each section of your hair with the dye to avoid a patchy appearance. Continue until all of your hair is saturated with the dye. Try using 2 mirrors to make it easier to see the back of your head while you dye your hair. Stand in front of a mounted mirror, such in your bathroom, and use a handheld mirror to look at the back of your head. After applying the dye, you will be able to see the color develop gradually to your desired shade of light brown. Set a timer for the amount of time indicated by the dye instructions to avoid leaving it on for too little or too much time. Check the dye's instructions for maximum set time, which is usually 30 minutes. Dyes stop developing after the max time elapses. Leaving it on past that time will not do anything. Use cool or lukewarm water to rinse the dye out of your hair, Keep rinsing until the water runs clear. Do not shampoo your hair after rinsing it out. However, if your dye kit...

TL;DR in English: Lay out all of your supplies and cover your work surfaces. Divide your hair into 4 or more sections. Apply the dye mixture to each section your hair. Develop the dye for the amount of time indicated by the instructions. Rinse the dye out and apply conditioner once the time is up.

Fill a microwave-safe container with drinking water. Heat it for 30-60 seconds or until warm. Alternatively, you can use warm tap water. You can increase or decrease the amount of chia seeds you add, if desired. Be sure to stir the chia seeds thoroughly into the water. Cover the container with a tight-fitting lid or with plastic wrap held in place by a rubber band. Allow it to sit in the refrigerator overnight in order to give the chia seeds time to completely absorb the water and transform to a gel-like consistency. If you don’t have time to soak the chia seeds overnight, allow them to soak for at least 10 minutes before adding them to your drink. Remove the container from the refrigerator in the morning and take off the lid. Transfer the chia seeds and water to a larger vessel, if necessary. Add 1 cup (250 mL) of your favorite beverage—anything from iced coffee to pomegranate juice to almond milk—to the chia seed water and mix it thoroughly. Enjoy!

TL;DR in English: Microwave 1 cup (250 mL) of water for 30-60 seconds. Add 3 tbsp (43 g) of chia seeds to the container and stir well. Cover the container then place it in the refrigerator overnight. Mix 1 cup (250 mL) of the desired liquid into the chia seed water.

Pour 1 cup (240 mL)  of warm water and 1 tablespoon (15 mL)  of sea salt into a spray bottle. Shake the bottle well to make sure the sea salt has fully dissolved. Pour 1 tablespoon (15 mL) or coconut or argan oil and 1⁄2 tablespoon (7.4 mL) of leave-in conditioner to the spray bottle. Shake the bottle well to combine the ingredients. For extra hold, replace the leave-in conditioner with hair gel. You don’t have to add any fragrance, but if you do want to, think of a scent that will work well with your tropical waves, like coconut or citrus. If your leave-in conditioner is scented, you may not want to add any additional fragrance. Salt sprays will last until the water evaporates. If the salt mixture clogs up the spray nozzle, place the nozzle in warm clean water and pump it until it flows freely again.

TL;DR in English: Mix warm water and salt in a spray bottle. Add coconut oil and leave-in conditioner. Add 1-2 drops of an essential oil if you want a scented spray. Store the mixture in the spray bottle.

. Chop garlic and fresh basil. Combine in a food processor with toasted pine nuts, and grated Parmesan or pecorino, pouring in olive oil as you blend. Spread on rustic bread or toss it onto freshly cooked pasta — the residual heat from the noodles won't affect the properties of raw garlic. This recipe is very easy to adjust by taste as you go. Start with one clove of garlic for a large bowl of pesto and increase if desired. Two cloves may overpower other flavors. . Another Mediterranean sauce that understand the value of garlic, aioli can add flavor to sandwiches, chicken salad, and many other dishes. You can make the mayonnaise style recipe in a blender, or labor over this handmade Spanish recipe that uses only garlic and olive oil:  Place peeled garlic cloves in a mortar with a pinch of salt. Crush the garlic to a smooth paste with a pestle. Pour olive oil drop by drop into the garlic paste as you continue grinding it with a smooth motion. Keep this up for at least twenty minutes, as the garlic slowly absorbs oil. The finished aioli should be so thick you can turn the mortar upside-down. Every Mexican dish needs salsa, every salsa needs spice, and garlic is a great way to fill that need. Try these recipes for jalapeño salsa, chipotle salsa, or cooked salsa (with raw garlic added after cooking). If avocados are in season, make guacamole. If your usual recipe doesn't use garlic, try adding one clove. Any more and you may need to reduce the amount of onion or peppers to compensate. A basic vinaigrette is the easiest salad dressing you can make. One or two cloves of garlic, very finely minced, makes an excellent addition to a small bottle of the dressing. You can also use it in more complex variations, such as this tart recipe:  Chop one large garlic clove and two or three leaves fresh basil Whisk together 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil and 1 tbsp (15 mL) raspberry vinegar Stir in garlic and basil along with 2 tsp (10 mL) brown sugar, ½ tsp (2.5 mL) Dijon mustard.
