regularly. Keep the water temperature between 50 and 84⁰ F (10 and 29⁰ C). Maintain a pH of 6.8 to 7.8. Install a filtration system.

When it comes time to make your escape, you’ll do so by first working your outer arm free. Having your stronger arm on the outside will make it much easier to generate the force you need to slip out of the starting position.  Straitjackets work by immobilizing the wearer’s arms across their lower abdomen, where they’re unable to harm themselves or others. You may not have the choice of which arm to keep in front of you if you’re ever being placed in a straitjacket for real (which is unlikely). For this reason, it can be a good idea to practice using both arms as your lead if you want to be prepared for any situation. Without attracting too much attention, grab a handful of the material just underneath your dominant hand and keep a firm grip on it. Bunching up the fabric before the jacket is cinched tight will give you 2–4 inches (5.1–10.2 cm) of slack, which will help you tremendously later on. If you’re not able to take hold of the fabric because you’re being watched or can’t move your fingers, don’t worry—it’s a helpful step, but not a necessary one. Fill your lungs with air and keep the muscles of your torso rigid until you’re strapped in. Once the straitjacket is secure, exhale completely and relax your core. The fabric, which was previously stretched to the limit, will now hang limply around your upper body. Lift your elbows as you inhale to give your chest more room to expand. Stand up perfectly straight until the last strap has been buckled. Then, let your shoulders fall and bend over slightly at the midsection. The more compact you can make your frame, the more space you’ll give yourself to maneuver. Recall what you were told bad posture looked like growing up and try to emulate this position.

TL;DR in English: Cross your dominant arm over the other as the jacket is being put on. Pinch the fabric on the side of the straitjacket. Take a deep breath as the jacket is being buckled. Make yourself as small as possible.

Tie the pony or horse to a post, rail, or crossties before beginning your stirrup adjustments. Never leave your horse or pony untied while moving the stirrups up or down. Alternatively, can have someone else hold the horse in place while you adjust the stirrups. Before measuring for your stirrup length, you need to be sure that the horse's saddle is on correctly. If it is not, the measurements you do will not be correct. Look both parallel to the horse and perpendicular, making sure that the saddle is square and that the stirrups are both the same length. If the saddle is not square, adjust the saddle on top of the horse before you start adjusting the stirrups. Find a starting position for the stirrup in which it is about as long as your arm. This will allow you to hold it out and do more exact measuring. Pull the stirrup iron straight out until it sits just under your armpit, and the leather runs the full length of your arm. If the end of the stirrup iron doesn't reach your armpit when your fingers reach the saddle, then the stirrup is too short. If it droops between your armpit and your fingers, then it is too long.  While measuring, stand perpendicular to the horse and the stirrups. If you have just begun riding, have shorter rather than longer stirrups so that you will have more control. Once you know the correct length, you will need to adjust the length by putting the stirrup buckle into the correct hole on the stirrup leather. Get hold of the buckle at the top of the stirrup leather and adjust the buckle until the stirrup is the correct length. Most buckles are tucked up close to the saddle but can be pulled down lower during adjustment. This will make adjustment easier. Loosen the stirrup on the other side so that it is about as long as your arm. Pull the stirrup iron straight out towards your armpit. The length of the stirrup from the connection on the saddle to the bottom of the stirrup iron should be the length of your arm from the armpit to the fingertips. Once both are adjusted, look at them both...

TL;DR in English: Secure your horse or pony. Check that the saddle is on correctly. Measure the stirrup against your arm. Adjust the buckle on the stirrup leather. Repeat the process on the other side. Keep the type of riding you will be doing in mind.

Commitment phobes may seem to respond well to affection when you are together, such as by responding well to compliments and holding your hand. They may even allow themselves to be vulnerable with you, such as by sharing personal things like hopes, fears, and dreams. However, these behaviors are forms of emotional closeness, which can be frightening to someone who has a commitment phobia.   After having a nice date with someone who is afraid of commitment, you might not hear from them for a while. This could be because the person is upset by how close they allowed themselves to get during the time they spent with you. However, keep in mind that all people crave emotional connection. The reason that the person may have been vulnerable or affectionate with you might have been out of this need. It just might have been too frightening for the person and they may have felt the need to avoid talking to you for a while after. Think about conversations you’ve had with the other person where you’ve brought up their behavior or something that upset you. If they turned things around on you and made it your fault, then they are displaying commitment phobic behavior.  For example, they may say you are oversensitive if you get upset they won’t let you meet their friends. You may be a drama magnet if you are upset they didn’t show up for your day. You are clingy if you want to spend more time with them. Watch out for sentences like, "You are so oversensitive" or "You're being ridiculous. You're making something out of nothing" or "You're too clingy. Why are you messing everything up?" Commitment phobes have a tendency to start analyzing the person they’re with after they start dating them. This leads to an obsession with negative traits, where they find all the problems with the person and ignore all the positive qualities. They want an ideal partner, which doesn’t exist.  Listen for the person to start pointing out your “negative traits” or things they think are wrong with you. For a commitment phobe, this helps them...

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to the person’s response to closeness. Figure out if they turn things around on you. Listen for talk of your faults. Decide if they ask about you. Figure out if they’re around during important events.

Stand the glass bottle upright with the opening skywards. This is the necessary position to perform this trick.  Make sure that you use a glass bottle. Using a plastic bottle (or a bottle made of any material other than glass) could be very dangerous. The mouth of the bottle should be small, but still at least half the diameter of the egg (like a milk bottle). Carefully light three matches. With extreme caution, drop them into the bottle. Wait a second or two. Quickly put the egg onto the bottle's opening, wide end up. Don’t wait too long to put the egg on the bottle or the matches will go out and this trick won’t work. After the matches go out, the egg will be pulled into the bottle. Then, you can amaze your friends with your egg in a bottle.

TL;DR in English: Position the bottle. Light the matches. Place the egg on top of the bottle. Watch the egg squeeze into the bottle.

To build a table jump, which resembles a long solid mound of dirt with inclines at each end, select a dirt-covered area that's clear of both trees and heavy brush. Clear away all of the vegetation, debris, and trash that may be in the area with a gardening hoe, and/or your hands, before you begin to build your table jump.  The average dirt jump is 2 ft (0.61 m) high, with 4 ft (1.2 m) to 5 ft (1.5 m) between the take-off and landing ramps. Make sure to have at least 10 ft (3.0 m) of clearance from the edge of the take-off and landing ramps. Depending on your experience jumping your bike, you may want to start by building a small dirt jump – say, 2 ft (0.61 m) high by 5 ft (1.5 m) long by 2 ft (0.61 m) wide, and work your way to large jumps as you practice more. Look for branches on the ground or saw branches off of nearby trees. Then stack your wood in a pile in the center of your planned jump to make it sturdy. Gather enough so that your pile is about half the volume of your dirt jump. For example, if your dirt jump is 2 ft (0.61 m) high by 5 ft (1.5 m) long by 2 ft (0.61 m) wide, gather enough wood to fill up a space that's 1 ft (0.30 m) by 1 ft (0.30 m) by 1 ft (0.30 m). Dig up a substantial amount of dirt from the surrounding area with a shovel and pack it into a wheelbarrow. Move the wheelbarrow towards your wood pile and pour the dirt on the wood. Repeat until you've created a mound 2 ft (0.61 m) high by 5 ft (1.5 m) long by 2 ft (0.61 m) wide.  Pile the dirt on the wood, then pack it as tightly as possible. Shape your mound roughly into a rectangular cube. At opposite ends of the mound, dump more dirt – enough to form slopes for riding up and landing. Shape and flatten each slope with the base of your shovel. Mold one end of the mound – what will be your landing slope – into a longer and steeper incline than the other. If you're a beginner, create a take-off slope that is 45 degrees or even more gradual. Form a landing slope at an incline of 30 degrees or less. The lip is a curve in your take-off ramp...

TL;DR in English: Select a flat area at least 30 ft (9.1 m) long for your jump. Build the foundation of the dirt jump with wood. Form the central mound with dirt. Shape each end of the mound into slopes. Create the lip of your take-off slope. Let your dirt jump set.

ank regularly. Change half the water every week to ensure the tank remains clean. Fully clean the tank, including the gravel or substrate and the equipment (such as a filter), once per month to remove parasites that could harm your guppies. Be sure to test and adjust the temperature and pH of new water before adding it to the tank. When cleaning the tank, place the fish in a holding tank or in small containers full of water that meet the pH and temperature requirements. Fluctuations in temperature, especially if they are drastic, can stress out your guppies. Water temperature above or below the recommended levels can cause your guppies to perish. Use a tank thermometer to ensure the water temperature remains consistent. Add a small amount of hot or cold water (such as ¼ cup (59 m) at a time) to the tank to adjust the temperature. Repeat every few hours as necessary to ensure the change doesn’t shock your fish. It’s important to keep the pH balanced to ensure your fish remain healthy. You should regularly measure the pH of the water using a pH meter or litmus paper and adjust it if necessary. Lower the pH using an acid buffer, or raise it using an alkaline buffer. Alkaline and acid buffers are available from your local aquarium store and online. A proper filtration system is necessary to keep the water clean and your guppies healthy. Replace half of the filter media when you notice it turning brown. Avoid replacing all of the media, which can remove the healthy bacteria from the water and harm your fish. Filtration systems are available online and at aquarium shops.

Breathe through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Drink a cool beverage. Eat chilled foods. Use a cold compress.

Have your model squeeze a some oil in their hands and rub oil over their entire body so their muscles look smooth and bold. The oiled up appearance will make the model glow, especially against a dark background. The oil will also help define highlights and lowlights in the image.  Avoid using too much oil. The amount will vary depending on the person's size and the type of oil, but you want the model to look realistic, not slippery. You can use baby oil or coconut oil. Using a spray bottle, lightly spray drops of water over the bodybuilder’s forehead, hair, and neck so it looks like they are sweating. To create an authentic image, you want the bodybuilder to look like they just finished a workout.  Avoid spraying too much water so it looks like they are wet. Just a few drops will work great! A little water also helps capture highlights. Take full-body shots while the bodybuilder flexes their chest, legs, arms, and back.  When photographing bodybuilders, you want to show off all their muscles in 1 image. Try out both serious and playful looks. Snap some shots with the model facing you directly, then try having them turn around. Ask them to pause as they turn, and take some pictures from different angles. Snap a diversity of images, capturing the bodybuilder’s chest, back, and side muscles. While you can steer the photo shoot and recommend poses and body placement, it is fun and productive to let the model organically pose and show off their body. Encourage them to smile and be themselves so their individual personality comes out on camera. Give your models some freedom, and you’ll get great shots. Perhaps they love their abs the most and want you to focus on abdominal shots. Try taking some photographs with work-out related items in addition to your full body shots. You can use small props like weights or dumbbells in your images.  For example, have your bodybuilder pose with a workout machine or standing in a stretching pose with a resistance band. You can also use things like sports balls or free weights. To...

TL;DR in English: Apply oil to your model’s entire body to make muscles stand out. Spray a few drops of water on their hair and face. Have your model flex their muscles. Take shots from the front, back, and sides. Encourage the model to be themselves in their poses. Use props in your image to add some interest. Try taking action shots to capture the bodybuilder in motion.

Psoriasis usually presents as red patches with silver or whitish scales on top. Look for patches across your scalp, as that's the first sign that you may have psoriasis. It may cover your whole scalp or only be a few small patches. You may also (temporarily) lose some hair. Another symptom of psoriasis is itchiness, so if you find yourself scratching red patches on your head, it could be psoriasis. However, don't rule psoriasis out if you're not itching. Not everyone with psoriasis finds it itchy. Psoriasis will often make your scalp sore or painful. Your scalp may also feel like it's burning. It can be painful at any time, though it may become worse when you press on your scalp or run your hands through your hair. Because psoriasis results in crustiness and scales, you may notice bits of it flaking off into your hair. In addition, you may notice bleeding where you have patches, particularly if you scratch the areas, as you may take off scales that aren't ready to fall off. Bleeding can also result from dryness of the scalp. If you have psoriasis on your head, you're likely to have it elsewhere, though not always. Look for similar patches on other parts of your body, and check to see if your patches extend past your hairline, as that could indicate it's psoriasis. Stress, cold, and dry air can all trigger flareups in different people. Keep a journal of common triggers and note when you have flareups to see which ones bother you. That way, you can take steps to avoid them when possible, or at least have treatments ready on hand.

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to red patches. Notice itchiness. Check for soreness. Watch for flaking and bleeding. Look for patches elsewhere. Identify your triggers.

To make silver nitrate you will need a fume hood or outdoor workspace, concentrated nitric acid (70%), a clean glass container, a piece of pure silver, aluminum wire, and a hot plate. The size of the glass container and the amount of nitric acid and silver needed is dependent upon how much silver nitrate you are trying to make. The fumes released during this process are extremely toxic, so a properly ventilated workspace is essential.  Nitric acid has to be purchased from a chemical lab supply store. If you have to dilute the nitric acid, always add ACID to WATER while gently stirring, never the other way around. Adding water to acid can lead to explosions and injury.  Pure silver can be purchased online, at a precious metals dealer, or a local coin shop or show. The glass container needs to be clean so the silver nitrate will be free of impurities. Add enough of the nitric acid so that the piece of silver you have will be almost completely submerged.  Carefully pour the nitric acid into the container, taking care not to spill anything. Always wear protective gloves, eyewear, and a lab coat when handling nitric acid. Aluminum will not react with the nitric acid and will allow you to have a little more control over the reaction. Wrap the aluminum around the silver and leave enough of a tail so you can easily remove the silver from the solution if it starts to boil too much. Before placing the silver in the nitric acid, make sure you are outside or working in a fume hood. Once everything has been prepared, simply submerge the silver in the nitric acid. At this point, you should see a few bubbles as the reaction begins. Again, this reaction will create toxic gases, so please do not perform this indoors. Do not lean over the solution and breathe in the gases. Work in a properly ventilated fume hood, outside, or wear a gas mask. Place the container on the hot plate and heat the solution until you see the silver really start to bubble.  The solution will turn opaque during this process and you will not be able to...

TL;DR in English: Gather the necessary materials. Fill a clean glass container with concentrated nitric acid. Wrap the aluminum wire around the silver. Place the piece of aluminum-wrapped silver in the nitric acid. Heat the acid until the silver starts to bubble. Wait until the silver completely dissolves. Let the solution stand until it completely evaporates.

Think about your various perspectives and how they shape you and your world. Considering these views will help you start to make proactive changes.  List your perspectives on a piece of paper so that it’s easier to see and think about them. You can also make notes or comments on each part as necessary. Be very honest with yourself about your perspectives so that it’s easier to make changes.  You also need to think about how these perspectives shape you as a person. Do they tend to make you a negative person or make you less likely to take risks? For example, if you believe that a woman can’t be the head of state or a CEO, acknowledge this perspective and then consider how it influences and shapes you in every aspect of your life. You may discover that your perspective is clouding your judgment of all women. Your perspectives form throughout your life based on factors such as family, education, culture, and life experiences. Considering what influences your perspectives may help you to reformulate them.  Your life experiences including illness, travel, jobs, religion, politics, and your television and reading habits inform your perspective. Broadening your horizons with other experiences may help start to change your perspective on them and the wider world around you. The people with whom you surround yourself, including family and friends, influence your perspective of yourself and life. Confining yourself to certain people or types of people may hinder your ability to change your perspectives. Education and learning have a significant impact on your perspectives. Not keeping yourself continually informed can keep your perspectives from developing. Once you’ve had a chance to think about your perspectives and what informs them, envision how your life might be if you changed your perspectives. This may help you to see not only the benefits of changing your perspectives, but also may begin to change them.  Try the simple exercise of doing a handstand or laying in the grass and looking up at the sky. Both...

One way to make sure you are inserting your tampon correctly is to make sure you understand how the tampon goes into your vagina. You may be able to feel around and stick the tampon inside, but you may not completely understand the mechanics. When you start using tampons, or if you have never looked at how they work, take the time to look at your genital area to get a better picture of what goes on when you use a tampon. Get a mirror and look at your vagina so you have a good idea of the anatomy, where the tampon goes, and how it gets inserted before you start to insert a tampon. Tampons come with different kinds of applicators. You can get plastic applicators, cardboard applicators, or tampons without any applicator at all. You should try to figure out which is the best for you. For most women, a plastic applicator is easier to insert than others. A plastic applicator has a slicker surface that may be easier to slide into the vagina. A tampon with a cardboard applicator or without any applicator may not slide as easily and get stuck or stop before it is completely inserted. Because a woman’s flow varies greatly, tampons come in different sizes and absorbencies. When choosing a tampon, you may want to go for a smaller tampon, especially if you are experiencing pain or having trouble inserting it properly. Try light or regular size tampons.  Each box explains the difference between the different tampon sizes. Light tampons are the smallest and most slender. They don’t absorb much blood, so if you are bleeding heavier, you may have to change your tampon more often. A regular tampon may also be a good option because it is still more slender but holds more menstrual blood. Super and super plus tampons may be too large to be comfortable. They are larger around because they are designed to hold blood from heavier flows. Make sure to use the absorbency that corresponds to your flow. Don’t use a larger tampon made for a heavier flow if you don’t need it.

TL;DR in English: Familiarize yourself with your vagina. Use the applicator that is best for you. Choose the right tampon size.

Some scientists theorize people yawn because of a lack of oxygen. Therefore, taking a few deep breaths when you feel a yawn coming on can help stop it before it starts.  You should breathe through your nose and out through your mouth. This allows the most oxygen to enter and channels the air into your diaphragm.  Make sure, when you breath, you pull air into your lower abdomen and stomach rather than your chest. Cooling the body can help suppress a yawn. If you feel a yawn coming on, try having a cold drink.  Try ice water, iced tea or coffee, or cool juice. Soda and carbonated beverages might stop a yawn but they can cause gas and other discomfort.  If you're going into a meeting, class, or other activity where yawning would be rude consider bringing a drink with you if it's permitted. Having a bottle of cold water on hand can help you stop a yawn in case one comes on. Colder foods can prevent yawning much in the same way cold drinks can. Try to eat cold foods, like refrigerated fruits, veggies, cheeses, or yogurts. Sugary foods, like ice cream, could actually have the reverse effect as sugar tends to make the body tired. This can cause excess yawning. Stick to healthy choices when it comes to choosing cold foods. If water and food don't do the trick, try a cool compress. Run cool water over a wash cloth or towel and place it against your head. See if you yawn less afterwards.

Reading before bed is calming, and helps prepare your mind and body for a night of restful sleep. To get the most out of reading for bed, find a quiet space to read in. If you have guests or friends at your home, ask them to keep noise to a minimum.  The brain is not made to multi-task, and if you try to watch TV and read at the same time, you’ll find it is ineffective and frustrating. Turn off the noisy TV, and focus on reading. Light a candle to help you relax or set the mood while you’re reading. Reading in bed can be bad for your posture if you allow yourself to slouch. So, it’s important to sit or lie in a way that won’t cause you any neck or back pain. Ensure that you have appropriate supports by using pillows or neck rests to keep your back and neck as vertical as possible.  If you’re lying down or sitting on a couch, add something helpful such as a horseshoe pillow or a large slanted pillow. Small neck pillows may be helpful too. Changing positions every 30–45 minutes can also help you to avoid bad posture and can prevent you from feeling discomfort in your neck or back. Bring the book closer to your face to help you straighten out your back slightly. If you tend to feel sleepy when reading at night, avoid reading technical non-fiction, dense poetry, or heavy fiction that asks too much of you intellectually. These genres will be hard to follow if you’re drowsy. So, read a light novel or short story at night. This will relax your mind, and prepare it for sleep and dreaming. If you’re studying or finalizing work, consider doing the tough reading earlier in the night. That way, you can leave lighter reading for bedtime. Many different versions of the clip-on book light exist, but they all work basically the same way.

Rock candy takes on a beautiful hue that is accentuated by it's natural rock shape. Pick a color and flavor that complement each other.  You can try one of these classic combinations or come up with your own:  Purple rock candy with lavender flavoring. Orange rock candy with tangerine flavoring. Pink rock candy with rose flavoring. Red rock candy with cinnamon flavoring. Place them evenly around the jar and lean them against the lip of the jar. Secure them in place with small pieces of tape, so they don't slide against each other while the rock candy forms.  You can use wooden chopsticks in place of skewers. A string suspended from a pencil is also a good base for rock candy. Cover the jar with plastic wrap. This prevents dust and bugs from getting into the jar while the rock crystals form. It takes a week or two for the sugar to crystallize into the shape of pretty rocks attached to the skewers. When you're happy with the size of the rocks, remove the skewers from the jar and lay them out to dry.

TL;DR in English: Mix the sugar and water in a large jar. Stir the mixture well.  Add the food coloring and flavor.  Suspend the wooden skewers in the solution. Wait for the sugar to form into rocks. Dry the rock candy.

. Once you have completed your experiment, you will be able to analyze the data. You will either find trends that are consistent with your hypothesis, inconsistent with your hypothesis, or no trend at all. Inconsistent trends, or no trends, will disprove your hypothesis.  Looking at the receipts from each store would allow you to analyze how money was spent during the experiment. If your hypothesis constantly makes accurate predictions, it may become a theory. The data and trends will allow you to draw conclusions about your hypothesis. Sometimes, this will be easiest to express in words, and other times it is more suitable to use graphs or charts to summarize your conclusions. Either way, it is important to keep in mind that even if your hypothesis gave predictions consistent with this experiment, it is still a falsifiable hypothesis. You could summarize the conclusions of your shopping experiment by entering the totals you spent at each store into a spreadsheet and generating a graph from the data. This would make it easy to see if Store A or Store B saved you money. For an experiment or a result to be scientific in nature, it must be replicable. You, or someone else, must be able to reproduce the same results each time you do the experiment. If your results cannot be replicated, then your hypothesis is not supported. If you go to the Store B and save money one time, but do not save money consistently when going to Store B, your results are not replicable. Additional versions of the experiment can be carried out by yourself or by someone else. The scientific method is designed so that anyone can get the same results when doing any experiment, given that they are knowledgeable about the procedures. The more times your hypothesis is supported, the stronger it becomes. You can replicate the store experiment by going to both stores multiple times and comparing your results. You could also have a friend go to both stores and analyze their data.

TL;DR in English: Analyze experimental data Make conclusions based on the data. Replicate the experiment. Share your experiment and results with others.

Use your hands to combine the ground beef with 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt and 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) ground pepper until well mixed. You can add more or less salt and pepper according to your own tastes. If you want to try something different, you could also use a pre-mixed spice blend or another set of spices and herbs that suit your liking. Vary the amount based on how strong you want the flavor to be. Place the hamburger meat onto the center of a large sheet of parchment paper. Pat it down, using your hands, into a 6-inch (15.25-cm) by 8-inch (20.3-cm) rectangle. If you want to make the sliders more even in thickness, you could press down on the rectangle gently with the bottom of a baking pan or using a rolling pin. Cover the meat with parchment paper before using either option, however, so that the beef does not stick to the bottom of your utensil. Use a sharp knife with a smooth blade to cut the rectangular portion of beef into 12 squares, each measuring about 2 inches (5 cm) in width and length. As a side note, this technique can also be used of you want to the patties to contain a normal amount of ground beef but want them to have a square shape. Simply make sure that the size rectangle you form can be divided into evenly sized perfect squares. For instance, you could form an 8-in by 8-in (20.3-cm by 20.3-cm) square of meat and cut it evenly into four patties that are 4 inches (10 cm) long on each side. Refrigerate these patties for roughly 20 minutes before you plan on cooking them. Keep them covered until you pull them out of the refrigerator. Preferably, you should use an airtight plastic bag or plastic wrap.

Cilantro is tender, so it isn't usually necessary for it to be very finely chopped. The later in the cooking process you intend on adding the cilantro, the more finely it should be chopped. If you are using your cilantro as a garnish, chop it just enough so that it can be easily sprinkled over your food.

TL;DR in English: Decide how finely chopped you want your cilantro.

Having regular meetings on your calendar and knowing that you’ll need to be able to talk intelligently with other people about a book is a great incentive to keep reading.  Depending on where you live, you may have many genres to choose from.  Try sticking to your favorite genre first, just to make sure that you stay on track.  You can branch out after you’ve gotten into the swing of things. If you can’t find any near you, you can start your own.  You can use Facebook or meetup to create groups easily. The public library systems in many states or larger cities often choose one book and encourage as many people as possible to read it at the same time. They usually include programs like book talks and other events where you can join a discussion. If you do this with friends, it can be easier to stay on track, and you’ll have someone to talk to about the book. You can look for a broader forum that discusses multiple kinds of books, or you can pursue a specific artist or genre. On social media forums like Goodreads, you can see what your friends are reading, read book reviews, and keep track of your own reading so you can see your progress.  There is also an option to find books related to ones you’ve liked as well, which makes finding new books easy.

TL;DR in English: Join a book club. Participate in city or statewide reading initiative. Sign up for an online book forum.

One of the most obvious signs of diabetes is excessive drinking. As high glucose levels lead to dehydration, your dog will need to drink more and more water. A dog with diabetes will drink a lot more water than usual.  As a result, your dog will start urinating more. Often times, pet owners will notice that their dog starts urinating in the house or in its own bed.  Do not limit the dog's water intake. Your dog needs the amount of water it is drinking to keep itself hydrated. A key sign of diabetes is increased lethargy. The dog is tired because the sugar doesn't get taken up into the cells, so the dog runs low on fuel. The resulting sleepiness is known as "diabetes fatigue." Long term, diabetic dogs can develop cataracts. In addition, diabetic dogs run the risk of sudden blindness from diabetic retinopathy (a disease affecting the retina at the back of the eye). Diabetes that isn't treated can lead to further health complications. The vet will want to perform blood tests to see how high the levels of glucose are in your dog's bloodstream and to make sure no other organs have been affected by the diabetes. There are multiple tests (blood and urine) that your veterinarian will perform to diagnose your dog. Taken alone, any one of these tests cold indicate a wide range of conditions and illnesses, but taken together, they'll let your vet know if your dog suffers from diabetes mellitus.  A urinalysis is a chemical examination of your dog's urine. In the first instance the vet will ask for a urine sample for a dipstick test. If there's no sugar in the urine then diabetes isn't likely. If sugar is present then blood tests are necessary.  A blood glucose test will be performed next. This can be done on a single pin prick of blood. Again, if levels are normal then diabetes is ruled out. If the levels are high then a full blood panel is warranted. A CBC evaluates the level of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in your dog's blood stream. If the vet finds higher levels of white blood cells, this could...

TL;DR in English: See if your dog is constantly thirsty. Notice if your dog sleeps more than usual. Check your dog's eyesight. Visit your vet immediately if you notice these symptoms. Run tests.

" A different, albeit more formal, way of saying "I love you," this wording is very romantic. Here's how you say it: "Ich habe mich in dich verliebt." The phonetic pronunciation is [ɪç 'ha:bə mɪç ɪn dɪç fɛɐ'li:pt]. " To say this: "Ich mag dich sehr," which literally translates to "I like you very" (although a bit smoother in German). The phonetic pronunciation here is [ɪç ma:k dɪç ze:ɐ]. If you really want your compliments to leave a mark, be sure to add a term (or two — no, we're just kidding, one is enough) of endearment to your I love you's. Here are two specifically that you can use:     "Schatz," meaning "sweetheart" but literally "treasure." Phonetically, it's pronounced [ʃats]. Try "Mein Schatz, ich liebe dich!" or "Ich liebe dich, Schatzi." "Liebling," meaning "darling." Phonetically, it's pronounced ['li:plɪŋ]. Try "Liebling, du bist so hübsch." ("Darling, you are so pretty.")

TL;DR in English: Say "I have fallen in love with you. Say "I like you a lot. Add terms of endearment to your compliments.

There are two main types of tremors, resting tremors and active tremors. With resting tremors, your hands or other limbs shake when you are sitting still. With active tremors, your muscles have tremors when you're using them. Essential tremors are typically active tremors, while Parkinson's tremors are generally resting tremors. Tremors can be the result of several conditions, so you should visit your doctor if you have tremors. For instance, tremors can be the result of essential tremors, Parkinson's disease, or even hyperthyroidism. Some medications cause tremors, so ask your doctor if that's a possibility. You may be able to switch to a different medication that doesn't cause tremors. For instance, some anti-seizure medications can cause tremors, as well as some asthma medications, antidepressants, cancer medications, mood stabilizers, and antibiotics, to name a few. The doctor will likely want to run blood tests on you to make sure your blood levels are fine. They'll likely check things like your blood sugar and your thyroid levels, just to name a few. Low magnesium can lead to tremors, as well as delirium, heart issues, and convulsions. Ask your doctor to check your magnesium levels, as a supplement may help stop tremors if your magnesium levels are too low. The doctor will likely want to take images of your head, through an MRI or a CT scan. The doctor will use these images to rule out other conditions besides essential tremor or Parkinson's, such as brain tumors, strokes, or brain damage. With this this test, electrodes will be placed on your skin at nerve endings. They'll send small electrical pulses into your skin. Other electrodes detect how long it takes the electrical impulse to travel to another area. This test measures how your nerves and muscles are functioning. Sometimes, tremors are caused by another condition, such as hyperthyroidism. Your doctor will likely test you for these conditions to rule them out. When you're treated for these conditions, the tremors will likely subside.

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to the type of tremors you're having. Visit your doctor. Discuss the medications you're on with your doctor. Be ready for blood and urine tests. Have your magnesium levels checked. Expect imaging tests. Anticipate a nerve conduction velocity test. Treat underlying conditions.

Many schools have research assistant programs that can help you identify positions you may want to apply for.  Speak to your professors to see if they know of any positions or have any that they are looking to fill.  Schools often have job placement offices that can help you locate a research assistant position in either academia or the private sector. The professors you study under will often be aware of research assistant needs within their departments. If you are unable to find any research assistant openings that seem right for you at your school, consider expanding your search to other schools in the area.  Some schools will even let you work for school credit at another accredited institution.  Research assistant positions can sometimes count as internships if your degree program requires one. Speak to your school advisor about opportunities to get transfer credits by working as a research assistant at a nearby school. Contact the department of your interest at other local colleges and universities to inquire about any research assistant openings. If you are looking for a research assistant job in the private sector, a great place to start looking for openings is on job board websites like Monster.com or Indeed.com.  Looking for research assistant positions in the private sector is no different than looking for any other job online. Use search terms that are specific to the field you want to work in as well as the phrase “research assistant” for the best results. Social media platforms like LinkedIn can be a great way to look for open positions as well as to network with people already working the field you want to find a position in.   Start by creating a LinkedIn Account. Search for open positions and reach out to others in the field you are interested in to help you identify open research assistant positions. Research assistants often have to serve as a "jack of all trades" because of the varied work that may be required throughout your research.  Because of this, finding a professional research...

TL;DR in English:


Ask yourself why you want to move to Mexico specifically. Decide which city/region you’d most like to live in. Familiarize yourself with Mexico’s politics, economy and history. Familiarize yourself with the cost of living. Experience creative works by Mexicans. Learn about Mexican cuisine. Learn Spanish. Join an online community of expats.

Why, aside from the obvious reason? Asking some credit card companies for a limit increase can cause the credit issuer to check your credit score, known in the business as a "hard pull." A hard pull can cause your credit score to go down, only about five or 10 points. If your credit score is teetering on the edge of solvency, however, those 10 points can be very significant.

TL;DR in English: Figure out which credit card you'll ask for a limit increase on.

Book titles should have their names in quotations.  “Catch-22,” “Jurassic Park,” and “War and Peace,” for instance, should all be enclosed by quotation marks.  Use quotation marks to indicate the titles of movies, too.  “Star Wars,” “Hannibal,” “Superman,” and other films need quotation marks around them. Other literary names and titles -- including poems, articles, chapter titles, and plays -- should likewise be surrounded by quotation marks.  “Romeo and Juliet” and “Howl,” for instance, are the correct ways to refer to those works. For instance, you might write a news article about songs such as “We Will Rock You,” “Just Like Heaven,” or “Tonight, Tonight.”  Always use quotation marks when referring to song names.  Do not enclose band names in quotation marks.  Treat these as you would proper names and use appropriate spelling and capitalization. For instance, “Mona Lisa,” “The Persistence of Memory,” and “Nighthawks” are the correct forms for those works.  Sculptures, however, should not be enclosed in quotation marks, though their titles are capitalized.

TL;DR in English: Use quotation marks around titles of creative works. Use quotation marks around names of songs. Enclose the names of paintings in quotation marks.

The actual process for transferring your domain will vary depending on which service you are transferring to. Make sure that you read the instructions for transferring posted on the new registrar's support pages for exact instructions. You will likely need to create an account with the registrar before you can access this page. You can usually find the Transfer Domain section in the control panel for your new registrar, or you may be given the option to start the process when you create your account. You may need to contact the registrar's support staff to initiate a transfer if there is no option available on the website. Make sure to include the TLD (.com, .net, .org, etc.). You may be able to transfer multiple domains at once. You do not need to include the www. part of the address. When asked, enter in the code that you received from your old registrar. Make sure that you enter the code exactly, or else the transfer will not process properly. You will be contacted by your old registrar asking if you authorize the transfer. You will be either emailed or called, using the information you have provided to your old registrar. This is where having the correct contact information is important. If you are not registered as the owner of the domain, you will not be able to be contacted about the transfer even if you are the actual owner. You usually will need to pay for your domain to be transferred. Some services require that you automatically renew for an additional year when you transfer. You may be able to get a free transfer for signing up with the new registrar. Your new registrar will configure DNS and name servers for you once the transfer has been authorized. After the transfer has been set up by the new registrar, it can take up to a few days for your DNS changes to be recognized worldwide. Your website should still be available.

Moving to a new country is a big decision not to be taken lightly. Whether you’re moving there for work, love, or simply a change of pace, take time to clarify your reasons for wanting to move, including how the move will help you reach your life goals. You may find it useful to write your thoughts down in a journal. Where you decide to live will be largely based on why you want to move to Mexico — for example, if you’re moving there for work or love, you may not have much flexibility in where you live. While the climate across Mexico is relatively warm and temperate, there are variations across regions. Beyond weather, you may want to live in a city with more shops, or perhaps somewhere less urban.  The Central Highlands are home to cities featuring cobbled streets, cathedrals, haciendas and other remnants of the Spanish colonial period. The Pacific Coast is home to the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range, making for wonderful natural scenery, with a coastline featuring miles of beaches, resort cities, farmland, plantations, palm trees and more. It can get particularly hot in the summer months here, making winter the busy tourist season. Mexico City and its surrounding area offer a contrast of fertile valley terrain and all the pros and cons of big city life: art, culture, nightlife, overpopulation (over 22 million people), crime and poverty. The Yucatán Peninsula comprises 3 states (Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo) for a total of roughly 1.65 million inhabitants. It hosts a growing community of American and Canadian immigrants. Cancún, one of the largest cities in the Yucatán, is the most popular tourist destination in Mexico. If you have the time and money, you might find it helpful to travel around Mexico a bit and test out different areas through temporary housing rentals before deciding upon a more permanent residence. If you do not already have work lined up, you might research the unemployment rates and average wages of the particularly cities that you are interested in. You’ll also want to...

Preheat the oven and prepare a dish. Slice the sweet potatoes, onion, and garlic. Combine the spice mixture. Assemble the casserole. Add the milk, cheese, and hot sauce. Bake the sweet potato scalloped potatoes for a total of 30 minutes.

Set 1 or 2 baking sheets aside while you mix together the cookie dough. Place 8 tablespoons (110 g) of salted butter into a microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave the butter until it just melts, but doesn't get hot. This should take 40 seconds. Measure and add 1/2 cup (100 g) of sugar and 1/4 cup (50 g) of packed light brown sugar to the bowl of melted butter. You can use dark brown sugar, but the cookies will have a stronger molasses flavor. Use a stand or hand mixer to beat the melted butter with the sugars on medium speed. Keep beating the mixture until it's creamy. This should take 1 minute. Turn the mixer down to low speed and add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla. Beat the mixture until the egg is incorporated. This should take 10 to 15 seconds. Turn off the mixer and add 1 1/2 cups (187 g) of flour, 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) of salt. Turn the mixer on to low and beat the dough until the dry ingredients are just combined. Remove the beaters and use your hands to bring the little bits of dough together. Avoid over mixing your dough or the cookies may become tough instead of soft. Pour 3/4 cup (130 g) of chocolate chips or chunks into the dough and use your hands or a rubber spatula to mix them. The chips should be evenly spread throughout the dough. Divide the dough into 12 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and set them on a baking sheet. Arrange the balls so they're at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) apart. Put the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake the cookies until they puff up and turn slightly golden. The cookies will look dry around the edges and just set in the centers. Avoid baking the cookies until they darken since they'll finish cooking as they cool. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and set them on a wire rack. Let the cookies cool completely on the sheets before you move them. The cookies should deflate a little. Store the soft cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Eat the cookies within 5 to 7 days.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C) and get out a baking sheet. Microwave the butter. Add the sugars to the melted butter. Beat the butter and sugars for 1 minute. Beat in the vanilla and egg. Mix the dry ingredients into a dough. Stir in the chocolate chips. Roll the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet. Bake the soft cookies for 9 to 11 minutes. Cool the cookies on the sheets for 30 minutes.

Write down several notes on tiny sheets of paper and roll them into tiny tubes. During the course of the test, remove the eraser from the pencil and retrieve your notes. It may help to bring additional lead to give the illusion that you are replacing the lead in your pencil. Make sure to dispose of the notes in your pocket or in the trash so that no evidence is left behind. Write notes on a small strip of paper similar as you would when trying to hide them inside of a mechanical pencil. Roll the paper up and place it loosely in the cap of the pen. During the course of the test, remove the cap as though you are deep in thought and retrieve your notes.  If you pack the notes too tightly into the cap, you’ll have greater trouble retrieving them, which can draw attention to your cheating ways! Place the note and cap on the butt end of the pen to allow more room for the paper. Using multiple pens will give you space for more notes. Write out any notes or answers to questions ahead of time on small pieces of paper. Place the paper in your pencil case (or other similar cases, such as an eyeglass case). You can retrieve the notes by pretending you need to grab an additional pencil or eraser from your pencil case during the test.. Clear, soft plastic pencil cases, such as those that are zipped closed, allow you to see your notes without needing to open the pencil case. Place the pencil case somewhere on the floor where you can see it easily. If you have an eraser that features paper sleeves, remove the sleeve and write your notes on the inside. During the test, remove the sleeve as though you need to use a larger portion of the eraser, and carefully arrange the sleeve so that the answers are visible.  Light colored erasers can be written on directly, either with ink or lead. This is a great place to write down simple short answers or facts, as the answers can later be rubbed off. The eraser sleeve may need to be disassembled to allow easy writing. If this is the case, you can adhere it back on the eraser with a small...

TL;DR in English: Hide multiple notes inside a mechanical pencil. Hide notes in a pen cap. Keep notes in a pencil case. Hide notes in the eraser wrapping.

A leisurely soak in a hot bath is one tried and tested method for falling asleep faster. There are several reasons why this is so effective. Firstly, having a bath will reduce stress and help you to clear your mind of the worries of the day, which are responsible for keeping you awake at night. Secondly, having a hot bath raises your body temperature, which then quickly drops when you get out. This mimics the actions of the brain, which triggers body-cooling hormones when it's time for bed.  You can enhance the sleep-inducing qualities of your bath even further by adding a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil, such as lavender or chamomile oil, to the water. And why not add some soothing music and light some candles, while you're at it? If you don't have time for a bath (or don't have a bathtub) a hot shower will produce the same effect. Just try to keep the water temperature above 37 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) and stay in there for at least 20 minutes, for best results. Although eating a heavy meal right before bed isn't such a good idea, tummy rumbles are even worse for preventing sleep, so try to avoid going to bed hungry. A light snack before bed, such as a piece of fruit, some crackers or a low-fat yogurt are perfect. Drink a soothing chamomile or passionflower tea, or a glass of warm milk which contains the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin.  Any snack that contains complex carbohydrates, such as whole grain bread or cereals, is good because these increase your body's tryptophan levels. Tryptophan is a chemical which encourages the brain to produce more serotonin, a happy, relaxing hormone which induces sleep.  Some great bedtime snacks to consider are any kind of nuts or seeds (especially pumpkin seeds), whole grain bread or crackers with a little cheese, or cereal and warm milk. Avoid anything very greasy or spicy. As mentioned before, being comfortable in bed is essential for falling asleep quickly, so the importance of wearing comfy pajamas cannot be overstated. Avoid pajamas...

TL;DR in English: Soak in a hot bath. Have a snack and a warm drink. Wear comfy pajamas. Do some stretching. Read, write or play a game before bed.

Adding a few techniques for staying relaxed into your daily or weekly routine can help keep anxiety under control. Practice  deep breathing,  progressive muscle relaxation, mindfulness meditation,  yoga, or guided imagery. Regular practice of these exercises can help you turn to them before or immediately when anxiety strikes rather than using them as a last resort. Balance your schedule to incorporate proactive self-soothing and self-care activities, such as taking a long, relaxing bath or playing a musical instrument that you love. Plan one day a month to take off work and have a "mental health day" where you do nothing, or whatever you want to with no expectations of accomplishing anything. Having these days every now and then should help to relax your mind and body and recharge you. If you have a tendency to say “yes” to every favor someone asks, you could be inadvertently overloading your schedule and making yourself stressed. Take a look at your responsibilities and obligations. If they aren’t serving you, drop them. In the future, pause, consider your options, and say “no” before taking on more than you can handle. Exercise is a great prescription for easing anxiety. Go for a run, participate in a group fitness class at the gym, take a hike on a nearby nature trail, or dance to your favorite music. Getting your body moving helps relieve the adrenaline that bombards your system when you’re in fight or flight mode. Plus, exercise releases endorphins that increase energy and lift your mood. Anxious feelings may worsen when you’re  sleep deprived, so try to get adequate rest each night. If you have trouble getting to sleep, try shutting down your electronics early and taking a warm bath before bed. Processed foods, caffeine, and alcohol can make anxiety worse. Instead, fuel your body with whole, nutrient-dense foods that reduce anxiety.  Eat plenty of complex carbohydrates like fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, and beans in addition to lean sources of protein, nuts and seeds.  Foods rich in omega-3...

TL;DR in English: Do relaxation exercises to calm down. Practice self-care. Say “no” when you don’t want to take on a new responsibility. Stay active to fight stress. Get at least 8 hours of sleep nightly. Choose nutritious foods over junk, caffeine, and alcohol.

Turn the oven on to 375 degrees F (190 C). Get out a large baking dish and spray it thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent the potatoes from sticking. Set the pan aside while you prepare the skinny scalloped sweet potatoes. Scrub 3 large sweet potatoes and peel them if they're not organic. Slice the sweet potatoes as thinly as you can, at least 1/4-inch (6 mm) slices. Set these aside and slice one large white onion as thinly as you can. Set the onion aside and chop 3 cloves of garlic. You can use a mandolin, if you'd like to quickly and evenly slice the potatoes and onion. Get out a small prep bowl and measure all of your spices into it. Stir the spices well, so they're combined. You'll need:  1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Lay half of the sliced sweet potatoes across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle about one-third of the spice mixture over the potatoes. Spread all of the thinly sliced onions and chopped garlic across. Sprinkle another third of the spice mixture over the onions and garlic. Spread the rest of the sweet potatoes and sprinkle the last of the spice mixture. Don't worry if some of the spice layers are a little uneven. They'll disperse a little once you pour on the milk. Slowly pour 3/4 cup (180 ml) of skim milk across the casserole, so it soaks into the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of hot sauce evenly across the potatoes and scatter 1/2 cup (50 g) of grated sharp Cheddar cheese on top. For a less spicy casserole, you can leave out the hot sauce. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake the potatoes for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and take the foil off. Return the potatoes to the oven to bake for 10 more minutes.  The sweet potatoes should be completely tender and the Cheddar cheese should be melted and bubbly. Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days. Keep in mind that the potatoes will soften the longer you store them.

TL;DR in English:


Stay calm. Ask for advice. Make a plan. Be ready for bumps along the way.

Some carriers will let people with no or poor credit sign up for a plan, but you must pay a security deposit first. For example, T-Mobile lets consumers with the best credit buy an iPhone for around $27 a month. However, if you have poor credit, you can pay $360 upfront and then make monthly payments.  To estimate your security deposit, use an online security deposit calculator. You need to know your credit score to use the calculator. You can get your score from myfico.com for a small fee, or you can use a free online service such as Credit Karma. Stop into any store and apply, or apply online at the carrier's website. You typically must provide the following information when you apply.  personal identification, such as a driver's license or other government-issued ID telephone number email address delivery address tax identification number The carrier will check your credit and then contact you about a security deposit. Typically, you must pay your deposit before the carrier will activate your plan. Some carriers won't even let you pay a security deposit. Instead, carriers have created prepaid plans for people with bad credit, so don't be surprised if you are rejected. Your carrier will probably refund your deposit if you pay your bills consistently for a year. They should pay simple interest on the deposit, so you'll get back a little more than you paid in. Make sure to pay your bill in full and on-time.

TL;DR in English: Calculate your security deposit. Apply for a plan. Pay your security deposit. Receive a refund of your security deposit.

“Voluntourism” means planning a tourist experience around volunteer activity, and it is a growing sector of international travel. Instead of your vacation revolving around pleasure activities, it centers on service activities.  While voluntourism is well intentioned, it isn’t a cure all for the world’s problems.  If it puts a native worker out of a job, it can even cause more problems than it solves. Make sure you have a skill that can truly be beneficial to the people in your host country (they are likely to have all the unskilled labor they need). Learn more about the thousands of voluntourism opportunities at http://www.voluntourism.org/traveler-start.html. There’s no education without teachers, so teaching elementary school in a developing country is the most hands-on way to aid universal primary education as a goal. There are a few ways to go about this:  Most teachers overseas are English teachers, and most English teachers are certified to Teach English as a Foreign Language (TEFL).  There is no one accrediting body for TEFL certification, and there are hundreds of programs offering certification both online and at university campuses. Those applying to a course typically do need a bachelor’s degree, however.   If you want to teach another subject area, you can look at job vacancies in the locale where you want to go, or browse the International Educator’s online job board. You can find the list at http://www.tieonline.com/. Since the fastest-growing population of unschooled children are in conflict zones, an area where a person can have the greatest impact is in a conflict zone. There are many highly regarded non-profits at work in conflict zones, including Mercy Corps, International Rescue Committee, International IDEA, Peace Brigades International, and Peace Direct. Of course, each job will have its own specific qualifications, but many jobs for overseas nonprofits look for persons with Master’s Degrees, foreign language skills, and experience working or living abroad.

TL;DR in English: Be a voluntourist. Become a teacher overseas. Work for a nonprofit that works in a conflict zone.

Make sure that your hair is free of tangles and knots. Use a hair tie or hair clips to secure your hairstyle. Your hairstyle must be low so that the turban can easily fit around it. Lay the scarf flat on a surface such as a bed or a table. Bring 1 corner diagonally across the scarf to meet the opposite corner, creating a triangle shape. Bow your head slightly, and place the folded triangle scarf on your head. Make sure that the center point is by your forehead, and that the sides are hanging towards your shoulders.  The base of the triangle will be against the nape of your neck. Make sure that the majority of your hair is covered by the triangle. If it’s not, you will need to try using a large scarf that is able to cover more of your hair. Bring the length of fabric on each side of your head up to the top of the turban. Twist these lengths into a firm, secure knot. The central point of the triangle should still be hanging over your forehead, and it will be located in center of this knot. Grasp the lengths of fabric that you just created a knot with. Bring 1 around each side of your head, and knot these at the base of the turban.  Make sure that this knot is also secure and tight. Overall, there will be 2 knots in your turban. The first will be at the front, and the second will be at the base of your head. Fold the small triangle of fabric by your forehead over the knot at the front of the turban. Repeat this with any loose ends of fabric at the back to make the turban feel tight.

TL;DR in English: Tie your hair up in a low bun or a low ponytail. Fold a large, square scarf into a triangle. Lay the scarf over your head with the center point against your forehead. Knot the fabric length of each side just above your forehead. Bring both sides together at the back of your head. Tuck in the loose ends at the front and back of the turban.

Since the adult dog's possessions may be a source of conflict, secure its toys, food bowls, bedding, and other belongings in a cabinet. This way you can prevent the puppy from getting one of its belongings, upsetting the adult dog. Place the baby gate in the doorway between 2 different rooms, like the kitchen and the laundry room. This way, when the dogs re-meet in the home, there will be a barrier to protect the puppy if the adult dog reacts negatively. While you walk the adult dog, have your friend walk the puppy alongside it. This will give the dogs another chance to get used to each other before you go inside the house. If either dog becomes tense, call its name or pull it away. Take the older dog inside the house first and unleash it. Place it on one side of the baby gate, preferably the side that has open access to the house. While on the leash, bring the puppy inside and place it on the other side of the baby gate. If the interaction between the adult dog and the puppy are positive, reward both dogs with a treat and verbal praise. If the adult dog displays threatening behavior, pull it away and say, “No, Rusty!” If the adult dog calms down, give it a treat. If the adult dog does not calm down, lead it to another room to calm it down. If the interactions between the dogs are positive for more than 5 minutes, then it is ok to remove the baby gate. Before you remove the gate, leash the puppy. Once you remove the baby gate, allow the dogs to interact without your intervention. Keep observing them as they interact without the baby gate. Remember to avoid holding the puppy in your arms to “protect” it. If it feels threatened or scared, it will run in between your legs for protection. Unlike older dogs, a puppy's social skills are not as advanced. Puppies tend to push the limit when it comes to playing, which can frustrate or annoy adult dogs. If the adult dog growls or snaps at the puppy, understand that this is its way of communicating its limits to the puppy.  If the puppy backs down after the growl and...

TL;DR in English: Put away the adult dog's possessions. Set up a tall, sturdy baby gate to serve as a barrier. Walk the dogs around the neighborhood before you go inside. Take the dogs inside the house separately. Observe their interactions through the gate. Remove the baby gate if their interactions are positive. Avoid punishing the adult dog if it growls or snaps. Yell in the air if a fight erupts between the dogs. Crate the dogs.

Your doctor may treat you with recommended medications or may refer you to a mental health professional to evaluate and prescribe medications. Both a regular doctor and a mental health physician will likely recommend a cognitive behavioral therapist. Many panic attacks are commonly related to other underlying disorders, including some mental health conditions and some medical problems. Talk to your doctor to rule out an underlying medical condition. Studies show that people that are treated for panic attacks and panic disorder early, have better overall outcomes with fewer complications. Commonly used agents include benzodiazepines, both rapid acting and intermediate acting. Benzodiazepines are considered addictive, so be sure to take them exactly as your doctor advised. Taking more than is recommended is dangerous and can cause serious and potentially fatal withdrawal effects if taken chronically. Rapid acting agents help to manage the symptoms when you feel a panic attack beginning. These are often prescribed to have available if needed, or when you begin to have a panic attack.  Take these agents only when needed to avoid becoming tolerant to the prescribed dose. Examples of medications prescribed to take when an attack begins, on an as needed basis, are lorazepam, alprazolam, and diazepam. The intermediate agents take a little longer to start working, but have longer lasting effects.  These medications are often prescribed for routine dosing, to help you avoid attacks, until further steps, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, can be taken.  Examples of intermediate acting agents include clonazepam, oxazepam, and chlordiazepoxide. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, commonly known as SSRIs, are effective in treating panic attacks and panic disorder. SSRIs that are FDA approved for use in treating panic symptoms include fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, citalopram, escitalopram, paroxetine, and sertraline. Duloxetine is a closely related agent and is also approved for use in the treatment of panic symptoms....

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor about your attacks. Seek medical help sooner rather than later. Take medications as prescribed. Take rapid acting agents only when needed. Take longer acting agents routinely, or as prescribed. Take an SSRI. Work with a cognitive behavioral therapist. Consider an evaluation for panic disorder.

Avoid getting angry with your parents. They have your best interest at heart, even if they are unhappy with your smoking. The important thing is for you to get their help to stop smoking.  Own up to your decisions. Remember that you made the initial choice to start smoking, even if it is now out of control. Your parents may point out – forcefully – that you made a bad choice. Instead of becoming defensive, admit that it was a poor decision, i.e. “Yes, it was a bad decision. I shouldn't have started in the first place.” Your mom and dad have a lot more life experience than you. Are they current or recovering smokers? Maybe they know what you're going through or can advise you on quitting. Don't be shy. Ask them.  Be clear that you want help. Say something like, “I know it's really unhealthy. That's why I'm asking if you can help me.” If you know that one of your parents smoked, ask them directly about the experience. Say, “Dad, I know that you quit smoking when I was little. How did you do it?” Make it clear that you are having trouble addressing the issue on your own and want their support. Consider surrendering your cigarettes as a goodwill gesture to your parents. Giving them up will signal that you're putting yourself in mom and dad's care. Make a plan of action with your parents so that you can get started with quitting. Take their advice, take their help, and do whatever it takes. They will want to pitch in and should make an effort to support you.  Pick a quitting day. Whether you are going cold turkey or need a quitting aid, set a clear day to begin. Talk to your doctor. With or without your parents, talk to a doctor about your habit. She will be able to advise you on how to quit, including the use of cessation products like nicotine patches, gum, or inhalers.  Ask for solidarity. The biggest role your parents can play in quitting is to support you, encourage you, and pick you up when you're down. You'll need them on your side. Quitting won't be easy. Stick to your plan and keep the lines of...

Get close before shooting. Chip the ball. Dribble past the goalkeeper.

Uterine fibroids can cause changes and problems to your menstrual cycle. If you have had a fairly regular period and it changes, then those changes could be caused by uterine fibroids. However, these symptoms may signal other health problems as well. Symptoms that might indicate uterine fibroids include:  Excessive bleeding during menstruation Severe menstrual cramps Bleeding between periods There are a variety of general health problems that can show up both during and between periods that could signal uterine fibroids or another health problem. Some symptoms are directly related to your period but many simply affect your general health. Symptoms that could indicate fibroids include:  Bloating or a non-painful mass in the lower abdomen Frequent urination resulting from a fibroid that compresses the bladder Pain during sexual intercourse Lower back pain Constipation Chronic vaginal discharge Inability to urinate Even if you do not have any acute symptoms, uterine fibroids can cause problems for reproduction.

Different traditions use the word "channeling" in different ways. Some channelers aim outward, in an attempt to contact others, or inward, to learn more about the self. Depending on your interests and goals, this decision can lead you into very different traditions, rituals, and practices, though most types of channeling involve a similar process, first inducing of a trance-like state and then communicating with some "other."    In supernatural or spirit channeling, the goal is to tap into the world of spirits and communicate with them. Practitioners often want to contact deceased relatives or famous historical figures, or otherwise make some contact with the dead. Spirit channeling as we think of it today, with crystal balls and Ouija boards, was extremely popular in intellectual occult circles in the mid-to-late 19th century. Though this kind of for-profit mediumship is widely dismissed by scientific skeptics as an orchestrated con against the often-wealthy participants, spirit channeling has historical roots that extend far beyond the Victorian stereotypes.  Consciousness channeling is a newer phenomenon. In some New Age philosophies, practitioners of channeling will meditate and attempt to visualize archetypal figures that are manifestations of their own subconscious, "past life" figures, or metaphorical representatives of some psychological trauma. This figure will often guide the participant through different interactions and communications with the aim of healing the spirit and learning about the self. Whether you want to find comfort and understanding by consulting an oracle, or you seek a deepened understanding of life and death, it's important to articulate your goals for channeling and be realistic about them. If you're going to embark on a channeling journey, it's important to commit to an often-quizzical, mysterious way of interpreting the messages you receive. The better you are at receiving them, the more you'll get out of the experience.    Embrace the mystery of it. Anyone who's ever cracked...

TL;DR in English: Decide between exploring your consciousness and communing with the spirit world. Be open to wrestling with strange phenomena. Ask a very specific question. Start keeping a dream journal.

Most applications are accepted, but the interview is where most people are weeded out. Your interview will likely be in a hotel, so book a room there. The interview may be in two stages, with each stage on different days. If you pass the first stage, then the next stage will be the next day. Book at least 2 nights in the hotel. Just as there is no excuse for being late to work, there is never any excuse for being late to an interview. Arrange your travel plans accordingly. Bring two suits, nice shoes, a nice pen, a pad of paper for notes, and any props or materials you want to use for your lesson. If you have print outs, print them in color. If you are using flash cards, laminate them. Make it as professional as possible. Your lesson demonstration is only 5 minutes, but the amount of work you put into preparing will impress your interviewers. Never start your demo lesson without some pictures or props. Iron your suits and polish your shoes. Don't bring perfume, extra makeup (foundation only is okay) more than 1 pair of earrings, more than 1 ring, any other flashy or colorful accessories. While people in Japan do wear many accessories, they do not wear them in the office. Excessive makeup like eyeliner and eyeshadow is frowned upon. Painted nails are a big no-no. (Clear polish is okay though). These things are unprofessional and won't even be allowed at your school if you are hired. If you are a woman, wear stockings and closed toed heeled shoes. Do not wear ballet shoes. No bright colors (pink, red, yellow, orange) and also do not wear all black. Schools want to show a professional, but "bright" friendly image. Think about that before you go. If you are man, shave your beard or trim it very short. It is relatively rare of men in Japan to grow beards, especially businessmen. If they do have one, it is always neatly trimmed. This will be a requirement at the school if you are hired. Hide any tattoos. Your school will not hire you if you display a tattoo. Some schools are okay if you have one, but you must keep...

TL;DR in English: If your application is accepted, arrange to attend the interview. If you need to fly or take a train, arrange it as soon as possible. Dress the part.

This time around, you should host your own reception and ceremony. While in the past, your parents or close loved ones might have given you financial backing, you'll have to fend for yourselves, for the most part. However, there can be exceptions made if you're having your vow renewals close to your original wedding date and never got to have a party. Most people believe you shouldn't have a gift registry when you renew your vows. The first time around, your guests could have helped you get a new set of dishware, pay for your honeymoon, or just to have some money to start your new lives together. This time, it can be considered tacky to ask your guests for gifts when you're already an established married couple. But again, if your renewal date is close to your wedding date, then you can consider having a registry if you really need one. The same goes for a bridal shower -- since you're already married, this is generally not thought to be appropriate. Many men and women who have a vow renewal close to their wedding date who never got to have a bachelorette party want to have one. However, many people don't consider this a good idea because these parties are supposed to be your "last night out as a single person." Since you're already married, you may have missed the boat for this one. You can still celebrate with a group of your friends, but hold off on the more risque aspects of a traditional bachelor/bachelorette celebration. On a similar note, skip the garter toss and the bouquet toss at your reception since these traditions are heavily associated with the idea of recently ending your time as single people. Instead, consider leading the guests in a variety of fun dances to remove some of the formality.

TL;DR in English: Host your ceremony and reception. Skip the gift registry. Pass on the bachelor and bachelorette party.

Although it can be tempting to kick the ball from far away and as hard as you can, taking shots closer to the net can result in a better chance of scoring a goal.  By shooting close to the net you will allow for greater accuracy and control over your shot, making it more difficult for the goalkeeper to block.  Make sure you aren't shooting from too far away to increase your score count.  Also, ensure you maintain your distance from the goalie as goalkeepers are trained to make themselves look big and then dive and latch onto the ball. Make sure you have sufficient distance to shoot from without the goalkeeper being able to grab onto the ball. Shoot from around 10 to 15 meters away, as shooting close to the goal increases your accuracy. Shooting from too far away can lower your chances of scoring a goal. During a breakaway it's just you and the goalkeeper.  Chipping the ball over the goalkeeper can be an effective way to overcome any defense they might offer.  Wait until you are close and use the following technique to chip the ball over the keeper and score a goal.  Wait for the goalie to dive or move towards the ball. Bring your leg and foot down to kick the ball. Strike the bottom half of the ball without following through with your kick. By kicking the right spot on the ball and not following through you will send the ball up and over the goalie. As long as the goalie is standing in your way he has a chance of blocking your shot.  A good technique you can use is to dribble the ball past the goalie before shooting.  This technique calls for you to trick the goalie into diving for the ball and then moving around him in the opposite direction before shooting.  Approach the goal and draw the goalie out from the net. Pretend that you are going to move either left or right for your shot. As the goalie dives towards your ball, quickly change directions and dribble past him.
